At this moment, Ye Li had no time to draw the talisman. He could only concentrate the spiritual energy on the surface of his body and run forward ten steps, away from the cave.
Fortunately, after getting away from the cave, the concentration of the fire spiritual energy dropped, and he could barely cope with it with the support of the spiritual energy in his body. However, the short period of exposure to the fire spiritual energy just now also caused him some minor burns.
Although his skin felt a little burning, his attention was completely attracted by the Red Flame Fruit in his hand.
Holding this plum-sized, red and warm fruit, Ye Li couldn't help but reveal excitement on his face. With this fruit, he could find someone to refine a pill that could help him increase his fire element talisman roots.
As long as there is a trace of fire talisman root, he can release the fire talisman. At that time, the power of the talisman will increase several times, and he can compete with others in the clan competition.
After looking at the Red Flame Fruit in his hand for a while, Ye Li quickly put it into his arms. Now was not the place to look closely.
When I came out of the mine tunnel, Village Chief Liu was waiting at the entrance with a worried look on his face. He only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Ye Li.
"Master Li, are you okay? I saw that you have been in there for such a long time and have not come out. I was really worried that you were in danger.
You... you are not hurt?"
He looked Ye Li up and down and saw that Ye Li's skin seemed a little red. He wondered if he was injured.
Ye Li looked at him and smiled. They had lived in a village for more than ten years, and his relationship with these villagers was even better than that with his own tribesmen.
"Uncle Liu, don't worry, I just got some minor burns, I'll be fine after I go back and take care of it.
This discovery is of great importance. You should quickly seal the cave entrance and not allow anyone to enter without permission. Also, notify the family and ask them to send someone to conduct a thorough investigation."
Ye Li's face turned a little serious when he spoke of the latter part. This discovery was really shocking. The function of the fire eye was still unclear, but the Glazed Flame Crystal Iron alone was enough to make all the surrounding forces greedy.
The Ye family is only a seventh-grade force. This Glazed Flame Crystal Iron is a resource that even a fifth-grade force would be tempted by. As the saying goes, an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. If the news is leaked, it will definitely bring disaster to the family.
Although Village Chief Liu didn't know what Ye Li had discovered, he was old and wise, so he naturally knew that the matter was not simple. He nodded quickly and ordered people to seal the mine. He then rushed to the main courtyard of the Ye family in Dahuang City.
After Village Chief Liu left, Ye Li waited at the cave entrance until three uncles and aunts from the family came. He reported to them the process of discovering the Glazed Flame Crystal Iron, and the three of them showed shocked expressions on their faces after hearing it.
The three knew that the matter was of great importance, so they told him not to spread the news. Then two of them stayed to check the mine, and the remaining one rushed back to the family. This time he would report directly to Ye Wujiu.
Ye Li left the mining area directly after that. The Ye family would take over all the subsequent matters. It was not the turn of a junior like him to take care of such a big matter.
After returning home, Ye Li applied some medicine on his body, and then prepared to study the red flame fruit he picked.
He took out the Red Flame Fruit from his arms. The fruit was red and crystal clear all over, and looked as warm as red jade. A slight heat was emanating from the fruit.
He had seen the introduction of this fruit in classics. The Red Flame Fruit could not be taken directly. It needed to be combined with some medicinal auxiliary materials to be refined into the Red Flame Pill. Just by swallowing one pill, he could obtain a trace of the Fire Root.
Although its effectiveness is not outstanding among similar treasures, it is extremely precious to Ye Li who does not have any attribute roots. After all, from zero to one is much more difficult than from one to two.
Looking at the Red Flame Fruit in his hand, Ye Li originally wanted to find an alchemist in the clan to refine it, but then he thought, the Ye family is not an alchemy family, and the highest alchemist in the family is only of upper yellow grade.
Pills and alchemists are divided into four levels: heaven, earth, black and yellow. Each level is further divided into upper, middle and lower grades. The Red Flame Pill made from the Red Flame Fruit is a mid-grade Xuan-level elixir, which requires at least a lower-grade Xuan-level alchemist to be competent.
Maybe he will have to go to the Chamber of Commerce in Dahuang City, where there is a Xuan-level alchemist in charge.
However, thinking of the Chamber of Commerce, Ye Li's brows unconsciously frowned again. It would not be cheap to ask a Xuan-level alchemist to refine the pills, and he might not have enough spirit stones on him.
Ye Wujiu also deducted his monthly salary for the next three months, which meant that he would not be able to get any spirit stones before the clan competition.
As he was thinking, Ye Li suddenly slapped his forehead. He had now opened the sea of consciousness and was able to use his spiritual sense.
The Qiankun bag left behind by his father after his death requires spiritual consciousness to open, so he has never opened it until now.
He estimated that there would be some spirit stones in it. After all, 10% of the income from the Star Flame Iron Mine was used to give to his father every year. Although most of these spirit stones were spent by his father on buying elixirs to prolong his life, he thought there should be some left.
Thinking of this, Ye Li put the Red Flame Fruit in his arms, stood up and walked into his father's room.
His father Ye Hao has passed away for a year, but the room is still spotless. He comes to clean it every few days to mourn his father.
Ye Li took out a small cloth bag slightly larger than his palm from the cabinet. This was the Qiankun bag.
As the name suggests, the Qiankun bag contains the universe. It is made of a material with spatial power and special runes. It can be used by the talisman master to store objects.
However, opening the Qiankun bag requires the power of spiritual consciousness. Ye Li did not have the sea of spiritual consciousness in the past, so he could not open it.
After he found the Qiankun bag, he sat down at the table, mobilized his spiritual power, and poured it into the palm-sized cloth bag in front of him.
Under the influence of spiritual power, the cloth bag emitted a slight spatial fluctuation. Ye Li opened the mouth of the bag, and suddenly a different space the size of a room appeared in the cloth bag.
Ye Li concentrated his consciousness and scanned inside, and the situation inside instantly appeared in his mind.
There weren't many things in the Qiankun bag. In addition to various elixirs, there were also some sundries. In a corner, there were hundreds of low-grade spirit stones and a dozen medium-grade spirit stones piled up.
One hundred low-grade spirit stones are equal to one medium-grade spirit stone, and one hundred medium-grade spirit stones are equal to one high-grade spirit stone.
These spirit stones added together are equivalent to more than a dozen mid-grade spirit stones. Although not too many, Ye Li feels that it should be enough to refine a pill.
As Ye Li scanned with his spiritual sense, he saw a wooden sword and an exquisitely crafted mechanism box placed in a corner.
The moment he saw the wooden sword, Ye Li's nose felt sore and tears almost fell.
