“Sending two King-level demonic beasts to guard Lu Chen, Elder Lu Zimu really has a big hand.”
　　Xu Taiping frowned slightly.
“Moreover, I found that the aura on Lu Chen’s body is still very strong. I guess his cultivation has not been abolished.
　　Bai Yu said again.
　　Upon hearing this, the anger on Xu Taiping’s face became even stronger.
　　“It seems we have to plan carefully.”
　　He nodded thoughtfully and said.
Two Demon Kings, and a cultivator who originally had the potential to reach the Jing cultivation level and he may even be carrying a magic weapon. It’s not easy to deal with them.
　　However, he wasn’t in a hurry either. Although the best situation would be to take that Lu Chen’s life before Liu Zijin came down the mountain, if he wasn’t fully prepared, he wouldn’t act rashly just because of this.
　　But in any case, he had plenty of time to prepare.
　　“By the way, that scum Lu Chen didn’t stay honest even after going down the mountain. The cries of women can often be heard in Fengxiao Villa.”
　　Bai Yu was chattering non-stop while eating the fruits on the table.
　　“Stop talking.”
　　Xu Taiping stopped him.
　　“Why can’t I talk？”
　　Bai Yu gave Xu Taiping a white look.
　　“It’s time to practice the Danxia Gong. I’m afraid I won’t be able to cultivate with a calm heart.”
　　Xu Taiping said as he stood up.
　　Bai Yu let out an “oh” and then silently ate the fruits.
　　“Wait, don’t rush in to practice. First burn the Diguo seed.”
　　Just as Xu Taiping was about to continue going into the building to practice, he was called back by Fairy Lingyue.
　　……
　　In a small alchemy room of Qiyue Xuan.
This was a small room that Xu Taiping was discovered when he was dying up after moving in.
　　The room wasn’t big, just enough to hold a alchemy furnace. There was a skylight on the top of the head, and there were shelves for placing pills everywhere in the room.
　　But there was no alchemy furnace.
　　Fortunately, the Burning Seed doesn’t require a very high-grade alchemy furnace. The magic tool alchemy furnace used for refining the Qi Condensation Pills before can just be used one or two more times.
　　“I didn’t expect that I would be able to do the third Burning Seed so soon.”
　　Fairy Lingyue watched as Xu Taiping put the gourd vine into the magic tool alchemy furnace, and her eyes were filled with a sense of emotion.
　　The scene when she and Xu Taiping shared the rough soybean spiritual crystal when the Earth Fruit ripened for the first time was still vivid in her mind at this moment.
　　“Sister Lingyue, are there any points to note for the third Burning Seed？”
　　After arranging the gourd vine well in the magic tool alchemy furnace, Xu Taiping turned around and looked at Fairy Lingyue.
　　“For the third Burning Seed, the grade of the true fire required is much higher than that of the first time. Otherwise, this gourd vine simply cannot burn. Besides that, there is no particularly noticeable point.”
　　Fairy Lingyue shook her head.
　　“It’s just that the fruit after the third transformation of the Earth Fruit is a bit special. I’ll tell you after you succeed in the Burning Seed.”
　　She then added another sentence.
　　“Okay.”
　　Hearing what Fairy Lingyue said, Xu Taiping didn’t hesitate any longer and immediately stepped forward to the magic tool alchemy furnace.
　　This time, the true fire he used to burn the seed was naturally the Scarlet Crow Golden Flame Art that he had cultivated himself.
　　However, the Vermilion Crow Golden Flame at this time had just barely taken shape. It wasn’t even considered grade one, and it was a world apart from the highest grade, grade nine Vermilion Crow Golden Flame.
　　So at this moment, Xu Taiping was also a bit nervous, worried whether this time he could successfully incinerate the seeds.
　　Without hesitation for too long, Xu Taiping mobilized all the Vermilion Cloud True Qi in his Qi Mansion, and then, according to the operation method of the Vermilion Crow Golden Flame Art, little by little, he condensed it into a flame in the palm of his hand.
　　“Buzz…”
　　After a slight tremor sound, in the palm of Xu Taiping’s hand, a flame the size of a candle flame appeared.
　　Although this flame seemed very weak, the moment it appeared, the temperature in the alchemy room immediately rose rapidly. In just a moment, it made people feel a roasting sensation.
　　However, Xu Taiping knew that just this candle flame-sized flame was definitely not enough, so he didn’t rush to incinerate the seeds but continued to use the True Qi in his body to increase the temperature of the flame.
　　As the temperature in the alchemy furnace continued to rise, the rows of wooden shelves in the room began to creak, showing that the temperature of the little flame in Xu Taiping’s palm at this time was extremely high.
　　“Hoo…”
　　Finally, when the flame in the palm of his hand almost covered his entire palm, Xu Taiping let out a long sigh of relief.
　　This was almost his limit.
　　And just this tiny ball of flame had already consumed seven or eight-tenths of the Danxia True Qi in his Qi Mansion.
　　Xu Taiping turned his head and looked at Fairy Lingyue.
　　Fairy Lingyue nodded at him.
　　Immediately, without hesitation, he slowly raised his hand while carefully transferring the ball of flame to his fingertip. Then, he flicked the ball of flame gently towards the alchemy furnace, flicking it into the furnace.
　　“Boom！”
The moment the flame exploded in the alchemy furnace, a violent fluctuation of Qi stirred up a circle of air waves which violently crashed into the alchemy room.
　　“Ka　ka　ka…”
And the alchemy furnace only persisted for three breaths of time, and cracks appeared on its surface. After persisting for another two or five breaths of time, it finally broke with a “click”.
　　Fortunately, at this time, the green gourd vine in the alchemy furnace had already been burned to ashes by the Crimson Crow Golden Flame, and the burning of the seed was considered successful.
　　“That was a close call.”
　　Xu Taiping let out another long sigh of relief.
　　This time, whether it was his Crimson Crow Golden Flame or this magic weapon alchemy furnace, as long as there was just a little bit more difference, this burning of the seed would have been considered a failure.
“Next time when burning the seed, Taiping, your Vermilion Crow Golden Flame must at least reach the second rank or even the third rank to succeed in burning the By then, an ordinary alchemy furnace probably also won’t work At least a magic treasured-level one is needed.
　　Fairy Lingyue also let out a sigh of relief at this time.
　　”Yes, I have to speed up the promotion of the rank of the Vermilion Crow Golden Flame, and also get a magic treasure-level alchemy furnace.”
　　Xu　Taiping　nodded.
　　The rank of the Vermilion Crow Golden Flame he can improve through cultivation by himself, but for this alchemy furnace, he has to find another way. Either exchange it with merit, or see if there are any tasks in the Merit Palace that reward alchemy furnaces and he can take on.
　　”Let’s first look at the Earth Fruit after the third transformation.”
　　Fairy Lingyue urged at this time.
　　”After the second transformation of the Earth Fruit, the seeds obtained from burning the seed are not fixed. It may be a pumpkin seed, it may be an eggplant, or it may be a potato.”
　　She　said　expectantly.
　　”For different fruits, are the treasures cultivated also different？”
　　Xu Taiping crouched down and rummaged through the ashes while saying this.
　　”Of course. For example, the seeds of gourds, pinecones, bamboos and the like are more suitable for gestating magic treasures such as weapons.”
　　Fairy Lingyue said while also crouching down beside Xu Taiping.
　　”Found it.”
　　At this time, Xu Taiping finally found a nut-shaped caryopsis in the ashes. It was impossible to tell what kind of fruit it was specifically.
　　“Bamboo rice, this is bamboo rice！”
　　Before Xu Taiping could ask, the Fairy Lingyue beside him said excitedly.
