The Pure Yang Fire Lotus is an extremely rare species in the world. It grows in extremely yang and hot places. It takes a hundred years for it to bloom. And after another hundred years, the lotus seeds grown in the flowers can be used as medicine.
The lotus seeds of the Fire Lotus are extremely effective. They can help people open up the meridians throughout the body. Taking one lotus seed can increase one’s cultivation by thirty years and extend one’s lifespan by ten years. The effect is extremely good!
As far as the ghost market owner knows, the worst Pure Yang Fire Lotus that can be used as medicine in the world are quasi-fourth-grade pills.
Although there are many talented people in the ancient martial arts world, and there are also many alchemists, refining third-grade pills is already the limit of these alchemists. Except for the legendary Tian Zhen, no one can successfully refine a quasi-fourth-grade pill.
Therefore, even if a Pure Yang Fire Lotus occasionally appears in the world, most ancient warriors would consume it directly after bidding for it.
But now, Ye Feng actually wanted to buy the Pure Yang Fire Lotus from him, and even planned to use the Pure Yang Fire Lotus as medicine to make pills. How could he not be surprised!
Not to mention, the fourth-grade pill is related to a big secret in the ancient martial arts world...
"What I want to refine is a fourth-grade pill!" Ye Feng said calmly.
According to the Medical God's Heart Sutra, the elixir needed to break through the realm of knowing destiny from the Dongxuan realm is called Hunyuan Dan. This elixir is made of pure yang fire lotus as the main ingredient, with several auxiliary ingredients such as evening primrose and safflower, and is an absolute fourth-grade elixir.
It is indeed a fourth-grade pill!
When the ghost market owner heard the sound, his breathing quickened instantly, and his eyes shone with a dazzling brilliance.
But after just a moment, the strange light in his eyes went out, and he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I can look for Fritillaria thunbergii and evening primrose for you, so that you can find them..."
Then, he looked at Ye Feng and said sincerely: "But it is difficult to refine a fourth-grade pill, as difficult as ascending to heaven!"
"If others can't do it, I may be able to do it."
Ye Feng said with full confidence.
His method of refining pills is slightly different from that of the alchemists in the ancient martial arts world. Not only is the success rate high, but the medicinal properties of the pills are also very strong. Others may not be able to refine a fourth-grade pill, but he may not be able to do it.
“I’ve seen many people who say this like you, but I’ve never seen a successful one.” The ghost market owner smiled disapprovingly.
“Grandpa Du, Ye Feng is really good at refining pills. He used a gas stove to refine a pill that day. Can you help him…” Li Yanzhi saw this and pulled the sleeve of the ghost market owner and begged.
"There are many powerful alchemists in this world, but there is still not a single one who can refine a fourth-grade pill."
The ghost market owner smiled faintly, then looked at Ye Feng and said, "Little guy, besides your amazing medical skills, if I'm not mistaken, you should also be an ancient martial artist, right?"
"I guess so." Ye Feng nodded, neither denying nor fully admitting it.
He was practicing the Heart Sutra of the God of Medicine. His practice method was very different from that of ancient martial artists. Calling him an ancient martial artist would be a bit biased. It would be more appropriate to call him a cultivator.
The ghost market owner did not notice the unusualness of Ye Feng's words. After looking at him intently, he said, "Your method of cultivation is quite peculiar. I can't even tell your level of cultivation. I wonder which level you are in?"
"It's so-so, probably at the late or peak Earth level." Ye Feng said.
Between the late Earth level and the peak Earth level!
You are so young, but you have such a high level of cultivation
The owner of the ghost market was startled and looked at Ye Feng carefully again.
Seeing this, Ye Feng released some of his cultivated aura and allowed the ghost market owner to sense it.
This kid's cultivation method is so weird... But it is indeed between the late earth level and the peak level...
After carefully sensing Ye Feng's aura, the ghost market owner nodded slightly, with some surprise in his eyes, and said: "You are so young, but you have such a high level of cultivation. No wonder you are so confident! But since you can get this far, you should also know the secrets of the ancient martial arts world, right?"
"I don't know..." Ye Feng shook his head honestly and said, "I used to practice with my grandfather. I was born not long ago and have not been in contact with the ancient martial arts world for long."
Unexpectedly, this kid is actually a reclusive disciple of a master!
The ghost market owner's face showed even more surprise, but he was not too surprised.
There are all kinds of ancient warriors, and there are many people with weird tempers. Some like to wander in the world, some like to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and some indulge in sensual pleasures. It is not strange to have someone who likes to hide in a mountain village to teach his disciples.
"Didn't your master tell you about this?" After thinking for a while, the ghost market owner glanced at Ye Feng and said, "I understand. I think your master saw that you are extremely talented and was afraid that after you knew this secret, you would lose the will to continue practicing."
The more the ghost market owner spoke, the more confused Ye Feng became.
It sounds like this secret is very important and can actually affect people's morale in cultivation.
"Today I will act like a bad guy and give you a beating so that you can understand the cruelty of the world."
After sighing, the ghost market owner slowly said: "Little guy, you should know that the peak of cultivation in the ancient martial arts world is Xiantian. But do you know how many Xiantian masters there are in the world today?"
"I don't know..." Ye Feng shook his head honestly.
He didn't even know how many sects there were in the ancient martial arts world, let alone how many innate masters there were.
"There are only four innate masters!" The ghost market owner smiled bitterly, raised four fingers, and said: "These four people are the masters of the current ancient martial arts world, and they are the four heroes standing at the top!"
In such a huge ancient martial arts world, there are only four innate masters!
Ye Feng was really surprised. Although he knew that it was not easy to be a congenital master, he did not expect that there were so few congenital masters.
But this also explains why Chai Fei pursued the intermittent flower regardless of life and death when he was in Baishan.
Because as long as you get the intermittent flower, the chance of breaking through the innate level will increase by 20%, and you will have a greater chance of becoming the fifth strongest person!
However, Ye Feng felt that the owner of the ghost market should have underestimated one.
The White Ape Immortal in Baishan is also innately powerful, and should not be much worse than the other four innate ancient warriors.
"There are millions of people practicing ancient martial arts, but only four of them can achieve innate status! And among the ancient martial artists, there are also many outstanding people. Do you know why this is the case?"
Breaking through the Xiantian realm was obviously a sad thing for the Ghost Market Master. After lamenting for a few times, he said leisurely, "The reason is very simple, because in today's ancient martial arts world, no one can refine a fourth-grade elixir! And the Heyi Pill needed to break through the Xiantian realm is a fourth-grade elixir! The only few remaining Heyi Pills are treasured by Fangcun Mountain. And according to my estimation, they only have three at most!"
