Chu Tianxiao took a deep breath, recovered from his shock, and said, "Brother Ning, what's your intention in taking this out? What does it have to do with the Minghuang Nine Nether Fire?"
"Hurp, don't worry, listen to me." Ning Linyun burped and said, "The Minghuang Nine Nether Fire is a heavenly flame, which is really rare and troublesome, so I can only use this thing to 'create' a temporary small spark..."
After hearing this, Chu Tianxiao was really shocked: "What!?"
No matter how powerful the Purple Dragon Blood Thunder is, it is only a human-level thunder spirit. How can it create a heaven-level flame? Even though Ning Linyun said something like a temporary or small spark, Chu Tianxiao still couldn't believe it - that was a heaven-level flame!
But soon, Chu Tianxiao suddenly thought of a possibility and reacted: "The wind rises from the green grass?"
"Smart! It's so pleasant to talk to smart people!" Ning Linyun laughed and said, "Although the Minghuang Nine Nether Fire is a heavenly flame, it is not so powerful when it is born. Instead, it grows from weak to strong. At the beginning, it is just a small spark... And what we have to do is to use the purple dragon blood thunder to split this small spark!"
"… This is really unbelievable. Although I can understand Brother Ning's thinking, is it really feasible?"
"How do you know if you don't try? Thunder spirits and fire complement each other, and the characteristics of the Purple Dragon Blood Thunder and the Minghuang Nine Nether Fire are quite similar. Who knows, there might be a glimmer of hope that it can be done?" Ning Linyun pushed the box with the talisman towards Chu Tianxiao. "My compatibility with thunder and lightning is too low. I have no hope of absorbing this kind of thunder spirit in this lifetime. I'll leave this matter to you."
"Brother Ning? Are you going to give this Thunder Spirit to me?"
"yes."
"...Brother Ning, if you say I don't want it, that's really hypocritical, it's just..." Chu Tianxiao clasped his fists and said, "We have never met before. This is our first meeting. You first gave me a pot of wine and then a thunder spirit. I don't want to accept it without merit. I feel ashamed to accept it. This..."
"Hey! I, the old drunkard Ning, always judge people by their wine. Since you can see the secret of drinking the divine wine, and are willing to come here alone with the Blood Wing Heart, and drink with me, why can't I give you something?" Ning Linyun said, "If you really want a reason... Can't I just say that I like you?"
"... This reason... Brother Ning is really a strange person..."
"Hic... Alright, stop wasting time. Hurry up and take this Thunder Spirit. I'm not giving it to you for nothing. I also need you to tinker with the Emperor Ming Jiuyou Fire so that you can refine the Dream Spirit Heaven Pill and drink the Divine Wine!" Ning Linyun said, "For this Wine Saint, this is a big deal, a deal that transcends joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, life and death, and love! It's a pity that I can't collect the main ingredients myself. How can I bear it if I'm doing nothing?"
Having said that, Chu Tianxiao could only accept it with a fist. Of course, he still said politely: "In that case... Thank you, Brother Ning, but I still need to see if my lightning compatibility is sufficient..."
As he said this, he placed one hand on the box. Suddenly, a tingling sensation came from it, but it disappeared in a moment, replaced by a warm and comfortable feeling flowing through the whole body...
"Hiccup... The degree of compatibility is so high?" Ning Linyun noticed something strange at a glance and was slightly surprised. Chu Tianxiao was not that surprised because his father also had a thunder spirit and the degree of compatibility must be very high. Moreover, since they were of the same bloodline, this situation was normal.
Of course, even if this is not the case, with the Heavenly Thunder Sacrifice Technique, those will not be a problem.
"It seems like you have a connection with this thing..." Ning Linyun nodded, "However, absorbing the Thunder Spirit is extremely dangerous. I advise you to wait until you have attained the Mysterious Realm before doing so."
"Thank you for your reminder, Brother Ning. That was my original plan."
"Hmm... That's right!" Ning Linyun said, "If you want to create that little spark, you have to find one more thing - Nine-bend Nanmu! This is the main trunk cut from the Nine-bend tree. It is the most suitable for withstanding lightning and making fire."
Chu Tianxiao thought for a moment and said, "I understand. I should be able to get this item soon."
"Oh? You have a clue?"
"good."
“That’s good. After you advance to Tongxuan and successfully absorb this thunder spirit, you can choose a night with thunder and lightning, and when the power of thunder and lightning is full, use all your strength to strike the Nine-bend Nanmu, and then…” Ning Linyun handed over an empty red box and a talisman.
"Open this box immediately, and the small spark will be absorbed into it. Then, don't hesitate to stick the talisman on it... This way, the fire can be preserved for a period of time. When the time comes, you can either deliver the box yourself or send a trusted person to a place called 'Chen's Tavern' near the Xionghuang Mountains. I will get it and then go find my friend to solve the matter of Mengling Tiandan."
"Okay." Chu Tianxiao nodded, and Ning Linyun continued, "But... In addition to the Blood Wing Heart and the Dream Spirit Pill, the Divine Wine needs three more ingredients. These three things are even more rare, and I don't know much about them. I only know that the Wuzhu Painting seems to be related to the 'Emperor Garden' in the capital of the Great Zhou, the Tianyi Divine Water fell into the hands of the Emperor of Zhou, and the Tianji Stele... I only know that it seems to be related to a big secret behind the top of the Great Zhou's Great Autumn Examination, but what it is... I don't know either."
Chu Tianxiao was very grateful after hearing this. The information Ning Linyun had just given him was too crucial. At least he would no longer have no clue about the Wuzhu Painting and the Tianji Stele Inscription...
"Don't worry, Brother Ning, I will collect all the materials within a year, and then we can drink together."
"Haha... Okay! When you have collected them all, we will meet here!" Ning Linyun smiled generously.
"Okay, I'll remember that." Chu Tianxiao agreed. At this moment, Lu Meir's voice suddenly rang in his ears!
Emergency communication? Send a note!
"Brother Tianxiao, it's bad, something big has happened!—"
"Yes, it's like this... Ice Face and I heard a big secret! I can't tell you the details now... Anyway, the trainees who came from Kyoto this time prepared a big conspiracy specifically targeting you!"
"I heard from them that they will definitely ruin your reputation this time. They have a lot of people! Some are famous geniuses in Kyoto, and... people from the literary society are here too. They said they want to stand up for the guy named Mo... Mo Jun at the Qiu Ye Banquet. It looks like they are going to do something bad to you too."
"But... the most troublesome person is a woman, Luo Bingqing! She actually showed up there too! This shows that this matter is definitely not simple... I overheard that they seemed to have set up several schemes, and they were full of hatred and hatred, and they seemed to be determined to kill you, Brother Tianxiao..."
"So, Brother Tianxiao, when the bell rings, don't go back to the camp! They seem to be fully prepared, just waiting for you to fall into their trap!"
"Damn it! The talisman that the master gave me was cut off... That woman is too scary!"
"Oh, forget it. The pursuers are getting closer and closer. Brother Tianxiao, be careful. Ice Face, run!"
