Qian'Er and Xue'Er exchanged glances.
Miao Yi exclaimed, "This thing can be used as the formation core of a transcendent artifact?"
With a flip of his hand, Yao Ruoxian grabbed the Qilin's head and lifted it up. With a 'weng' sound, the entire Qilin's head immediately burst into a ball of raging flames, burning fiercely. The Qilin's head seemed to have come to life in an instant, glaring fiercely within the raging flames. The temperature was frighteningly high, much more terrifying than the temperature of Blaze Resins.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er were instantly horrified. Unable to withstand the heat, they quickly ran far away. Miao Yi once again felt the terrifying heat from the Supreme Fire Palace's sea of fire. However, this fire didn't contain the terrifying offensive power of the Supreme Fire Palace's sea of fire. Thus, he quickly used his fire-control arts to avoid the heat.
The two stone lions at the entrance were instantly scorched by the heat. The stone tiles on the ground cracked, and the flowers and grass around them instantly withered and burned. Cracks also appeared on the courtyard walls, and the wooden doors that were wide open were already on fire.
Yao Ruoxian seemed to be unable to withstand the heat as well. After a while, he tossed the burning Qilin head towards Miao Yi. Strangely, the moment the Qilin head left Yao Ruoxian's hand, the terrifying flames immediately disappeared, and a bone-chilling Qilin head fell into Miao Yi's hand.
Yao Ruoxian quickly turned around and invoked his arts. The flames on the flowers and grass around him were immediately extinguished by his transcendence energy, and the flames on the door were immediately extinguished, leaving behind wisps of black smoke.
Holding onto the bone-chilling Qilin head, Miao Yi asked curiously, "This fire came from this Qilin head?"
"Of course!" Yao Ruoxian turned around and spat, "Do you think my body can emit fire?"
Miao Yi immediately clicked his tongue in wonder as he fiddled with the Qilin head in his hand. "Old geezer, how did you do it?"
"Simple. Just use your arts to control it!" Yao Ruoxian snapped.
After fiddling with it for a while, the Qilin head in Miao Yi's hand once again burst into flames. This time, the flames were quickly expanding, as if they were going to destroy everything.
Yao Ruoxian immediately cried out, "Are you trying to burn the house down?!"
Miao Yi retracted his transcendence energy, and the raging flames immediately disappeared. Yao Ruoxian quickly extinguished the flames, while Miao Yi hugged the Qilin head happily. As expected, the Supreme Fire Crystal could only burn with transcendence energy. Once the magic power was withdrawn, the fire was immediately extinguished. Moreover, the strength of the magic power could determine the size of the fire. This thing didn't need to be refined to be a natural treasure!
Hugging the Qilin head, he tossed and turned with a face full of love. Looking at the part of the Qilin head that had been hollowed out, Miao Yi's expression froze once more. It was as if his heart was in pain. Only now did he understand what it meant for him to have dug out and thrown it away. He also finally understood why Yao Ruoxian was so upset.
"Now you know how to feel the pinch?" Yao Ruoxian laughed coldly from the side. "What a wastrel. 'This is a place that others can't even go to if they want to, yet you bastard went through so much trouble to get in, yet you're as blind as a bat. It's fine if you didn't bring more out, but you actually threw them away. Do you know how much the things you threw away are worth? How many Orbs of Will could they be exchanged for? I've never seen anyone as stupid as you! "
"Stop it!" Miao Yi held onto the Qilin's head with one hand and pushed him away with the other. If he were to continue talking, he would surely be heartbroken. With a miserable expression, he said, "You don't know the situation at the time. The Supreme Fire Palace was floating in the middle of the fire array. I don't know what happened, but it looked like it was about to collapse. I didn't dare to stay there any longer. Secondly, I didn't dare to destroy the Supreme Fire Palace too much. After all, we were still in the Sea of Constellations at the time. I was also afraid of angering Supreme Yao Lord Lie Huan, so I didn't dare to go too far. "
Yao Ruoxian immediately stomped his foot and cursed, "Then why did you have nothing better to do? Why did you hollow out the inside of the palace? How bored must you be to do something like that? Do you have a pig's brain?! "
Miao Yi said helplessly, "Do you think I'm that bored?! I had to think of a way to escape! You have no idea how terrifying that fire array was. I had to lose my life just to get in there. If I hadn't thought of cutting off the Qilin's head and hollowing it out, I wouldn't have been able to escape from the fire array. I'm afraid I wouldn't have even brought that out with me. Damn it. That's Supreme Yao Lord Lie Huan's palace. How many people would dare to go there and wreak havoc? Old geezer, if you went there, you probably wouldn't even dare to touch a single stone. It's already good enough that I was able to chop off such a huge piece of its head and bring it back. Besides, I don't even know what it is. Who would've thought that the stone used to build such a huge palace would be such a good treasure? At the time, I thought it would at most be able to repel fire! "
"But you didn't have to throw away the thing you dug out! Would it have killed you to bring it back?! "
"I already told you, there were too many things at the scene. I didn't even take the bigger ones. Who would want to pick up the bits and pieces that I dug out?! Even if I were to pick up two bricks from the ground, I wouldn't want to pick up those pieces! "
"You're pissing me off. I'm not going to talk to you anymore. " Yao Ruoxian quickly snatched the Qilin's head and stored it inside his storage bangle. Then, he turned around and left.
"Don't go! I say, old geezer. Now that I have the formation core for refining transcendent artifacts, shouldn't you help me refine one? "Miao Yi chased after him, shouting.
"Don't bother me. I get angry whenever I see you, you wastrel." Yao Ruoxian threw down these words, then disappeared in a flash.
Miao Yi stopped in his tracks. Without even turning his head, he beckoned behind him. Qian'Er and Xue'Er tacitly moved to his left and right sides to listen to his orders.
He was just about to tell the two girls that he would leave this matter to the two of them when suddenly, with a swoosh, Yao Ruoxian's figure appeared in front of the three of them.
"What are the three of you planning by sneakily gathering together?" His gaze swept across the three of them cautiously. Yao Ruoxian warned, "You two girls! You can't help an outsider. Do you understand? "
"Hehe! What are you thinking? "Miao Yi laughed dryly as if nothing had happened.
However, Yao Ruoxian placed his hands behind his back and calmly said, "If you want me to help you refine one, that's fine. But don't ride the fat bastard around anymore. You have three transcendent artifacts to protect yourself. I will refine another one for you later. When the time comes, it won't be a problem whether you have the fat bastard's leg strength or not. Let the fat bastard stay at my place and get closer to me. I'm bored staying here alone."
Miao Yi pondered for a moment. This old man probably had Yao Cores in his possession and was burning through them. But then again, it made sense. As long as he didn't run into any Red Lotus experts, the few transcendent artifacts he had should be enough to deal with them. If he really did run into a Red Lotus expert, he might even drag Charcoal down with him. It was better to let Charcoal stay here and eat more Yao Cores to increase his strength. Reality had already proven that Charcoal could increase his strength by eating Yao Cores. Previously, he didn't have enough Yao Cores on hand, but now that he did, he wouldn't mistreat that damned fatty.
Then, he turned around and blew a loud whistle.
A splash could be heard from the surface of the lake in the distance. Charcoal's head emerged from the water and immediately swam towards them.
Ever since he came to this place, Charcoal had been extremely happy. He was surrounded by water, and there were all sorts of delicacies. This was practically heaven! As long as he didn't go out with Miao Yi for no reason, he would eat his fill and then sleep. When he woke up, he would dive into the water to eat something fresh.
When he saw Charcoal swimming towards him from afar, Yao Ruoxian immediately forgot about his earlier unhappiness. His eyes instantly lit up, as though he had seen some sort of treasure. He quickly walked to the lakeside to welcome him, and even took out a handful of Yao Cores to lure him, "Fat thief. Over here. Over here!"
Charcoal still had a shadow of Yao Ruoxian in his heart. As soon as he saw him, he remembered how he had been buried alive back then. He couldn't help but feel that Yao Ruoxian wasn't a good person. He immediately swam away, circled to the other side, and climbed ashore. Then, he eagerly ran towards Miao Yi.
Yao Ruoxian was once again given the cold shoulder. He was a little dumbfounded, and muttered, "How many years has it been? You're still holding a grudge!"
Frustrated, he coughed dryly and walked back with his hands behind his back. His gaze fell on Charcoal's body, and suddenly widened. He pointed at the ghastly wounds all over Charcoal's body and exclaimed, "What's going on?"
"What else could it be? How many dragon steeds that went to the Sea of Constellations to participate in the Subjugation Crusade can return alive? He's already very lucky! " Miao Yi sighed as well. Back then, after being separated from Charcoal for so many years in the Sea of Constellations, he never thought he would see him again.
"You damned bastard! I told you not to bring him along, but you insisted. If anything happens to him, you'll regret it! " Yao Ruoxian pointed at Miao Yi's nose and berated him, as though Miao Yi had done something heinous.
Miao Yi waved his hand and didn't want to talk about this anymore. "I've already called the damned fatty over for you. Can you help me refine the transcendent artifact now?"
Yao Ruoxian didn't care about what Miao Yi was saying. His attention was completely focused on Charcoal. He grabbed a handful of Yao Cores and brought them to Charcoal's mouth. However, Charcoal dodged left and right, refusing to eat. What if he got buried alive again after eating?
"Who doesn't know you're delicious? Stop pretending to be pure!" Miao Yi walked up and gave Charcoal's butt a kick. He then casually grabbed Charcoal's ear and pointed at Yao Ruoxian's ear, warning him, "I was just joking with you before. I treated you better than I did. From now on, you better stay here obediently."
Charcoal seemed to understand, but his expression seemed a little aggrieved. He became listless and no longer tried to hide.
"Why are you always groping me?" Yao Ruoxian chuckled, looking like a harmless old man. He brought the handful of Yao Cores in his hand to Charcoal's mouth again, letting him eat.
Charcoal turned his head away. He was afraid of eating Miao Yi's food, and felt a psychological repulsion. In the end, Miao Yi gave him another slap on the head. "I don't want to eat them. Don't get greedy every time you see Yao Cores in the future!"
Charcoal quickly turned his head and stuck out his tongue. The five or six Yao Cores in Yao Ruoxian's hand were instantly swept down his stomach. He licked his lips, and his eyes lit up. It seemed they tasted pretty good.
Both of Yao Ruoxian's hands suddenly moved to Charcoal's mouth. Another two handfuls of Yao Ruoxian's Yao Ruoxian's tongue slid in and out, sweeping them all away in the blink of an eye.
Yao Ruoxian grabbed another two handfuls. Miao Yi's heart palpitated as he watched, and hurriedly reached out to stop him. "Old monster. You're feeding him so many at once. Nothing bad will happen, right?"
"He can even digest Second Grade Yao Cores. What's a little bit of First Grade Yao Cores to him?" Yao Ruoxian pushed Miao Yi's arm away. The Yao Cores seemed like they were free, and he fished them out one by one. Charcoal immediately forgot all about his unhappiness, and quickly mixed in with Yao Ruoxian. He shook his head and wagged his tail intimately.
Seeing that the barrier between him and Charcoal had been resolved, Yao Ruoxian was so happy he couldn't close his mouth. With a wave of his hand, he threw a pile of Yao Cores onto the ground, as if he was throwing candy. He let Charcoal pick them up himself. Miao Yi and the two girls were dumbfounded.
