Ji Yuan's current mastery of alchemy has reached the level of a grandmaster.
If he could master a spiritual fire, it would naturally bring him many benefits.
And there were only two ways to possess a spiritual fire.
One was to find a fully formed spiritual fire and refine it to become one's own.
However, the difficulty of obtaining such spiritual fires was extremely high, as they almost always had owners, and very few would be put up for sale. Kuaishuge.com
A spiritual fire, if cultivated properly, could be used as a heirloom.
Moreover, the price of a complete spiritual fire was so exorbitant that even ordinary cultivators of the third realm could hardly afford it.
Only major powers and great sects possessed such financial capacity.
Another most important point was that not every spiritual fire obtained could be completely refined.
If it was incompatible with oneself, a slight misstep could lead to self-immolation.
The second method was to cultivate a spiritual fire oneself.
The Xuantian Dao Scripture mentioned a type of spiritual fire and listed the corresponding materials needed for its cultivation.
However, it did not contain a complete cultivation method.
This was also the reason why Ji Yuan visited after coming out of seclusion.
"If you are looking for a method to cultivate spiritual fire."
Mo Zigu immediately understood the other party's intention and slowly shook his head, saying, "This is a secret of the family..."
He did not finish his sentence, but his meaning was already clear.
As a family secret, and even the foundation of their inheritance,
It was not that it was entirely impossible to obtain, but the price to pay would undoubtedly be immense.
Although Ji Yuan was wealthy, he would not waste anything on this.
After all, the Mo family's method for cultivating spiritual fire focused on their Crimson Sun Fierce Horse.
"What I need is not your family's inheritance method."
Knowing that the other party seemed to have misunderstood, Ji Yuan explained with a wry smile.
However, he thought it was normal. As a family specializing in artifact refining, and possessing the Crimson Sun Fierce Horse, which was on the list of spiritual fires.
Whoever came to them would most likely be after their inheritance method.
"I only need a method for cultivating spiritual fire normally."
He said thoughtfully.
There were countless ways to cultivate spiritual fires, and most of them were not interchangeable.
However, they still served as a reference without any major issues.
It was similar to cultivation techniques, where one could observe the strengths of various schools and extract their essence to enhance one's own path.
He already knew the specific materials required for cultivating spiritual fire.
What he was lacking now was the method of cultivating spiritual fire and the experiences within it.
The former could be summarized and deduced to suit oneself by consulting the strengths of various families.
As for the latter, it was even easier.
"If that's the case, then it's not a problem."
Mo Zigu nodded slightly and then took out a pile of jade slips.
There were about thirty to forty of them, and the materials used were all extraordinary.
These jade slips alone were worth over a hundred taels of gold.
Ji Yuan sent a wisp of his divine sense to scan the pile of jade slips, and his heart couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
More than ten of them contained methods for cultivating spiritual fire, and the rest were predecessors' experiences.
"They were all collected by the family, and I merely made copies."
Mo Zigu said nonchalantly.
These things might be extremely precious to others, but for him, they were just a matter of spending some time to copy.
Seeing the smile on the other party's face, Ji Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Name your price."
However, as expected, Mo Zigu shook his head and did not intend to name a price.
"Let's just be friends."
Although the two knew each other, they were not yet considered friends.
They had some acquaintance, but not to that depth.
Perhaps for mortals, this would already be considered friendship.
But for cultivators, making friends was much more cautious.
If one accidentally became entangled in some karma, it could lead to eternal damnation.
There had been cases where cultivators were harmed by their friends, and most of them never had the chance to regret it.
"Friendship is friendship, but accounts should still be settled clearly."
Ji Yuan said with a smile.
Even close brothers need to be clear about their accounts. If one owed too many favors, it might have some negative impact on future cultivation.
"This is a recipe for fire-nurturing liquid."
Mo Zigu thought for a moment and took out another jade slip. "This item has miraculous effects in cultivating spiritual fire. Even ordinary alchemy grandmasters find it difficult to refine. If you can refine it in the future, remember to send me some."
Ji Yuan gave a wry smile. It seemed like the other party's request, but in the end, he was the one who benefited.
Helpless, he could only solemnly remember this favor.
As he put away the pile of jade slips, he couldn't help but re-examine the person in front of him.
Just this ability to conduct himself and make friends.
It was not something anyone could do.
Casually giving away so many benefits was something even direct descendants of major families could not do.
After a few pleasantries, Ji Yuan and Mo Zigu agreed to talk again another day and then took his leave.
He did not return to his private room but went to where Qian Nishang handled affairs.
The Qian family had been rebuilt, but everyone was still living in the Mingxin Pavilion because the hidden dangers had not been completely cleared, and this place was clearly safer.
In the private room at this moment, several people were gathered, with a few worried expressions on their faces.
Ji Yuan pushed the door open, scanned the faces of the people, and then slowly sat down under their gaze.
"Why the long faces?"
He asked curiously.
His divine power clone had long since dissipated, and he had not been aware of anything that had happened in the past two to three months.
"It's nothing major, just people from the prefectural city."
Qian Nishang said helplessly.
More than a month ago, a contingent from the imperial court had arrived in the prefectural city, led by a trusted subordinate of the Prefect.
The reason for their arrival was something even Prefect Fan Yuqing did not fully understand.
The visitor was extremely tight-lipped, and their actions after arriving in Luoxia Prefecture had baffled all factions.
For a time, no one could guess their purpose.
Even some factions, by using their connections in the prefectural city, could not obtain even a single word of information.
"It probably has nothing to do with us."
Ji Yuan shrugged, looking indifferent.
If it truly had something to do with them, they would have made a move long ago.
With the current strength of the Mingxin Pavilion, the other party could make it crumble with a single word.
Simply put, if the big figures in the prefectural city wanted to deal with them, they wouldn't even need to come here in person; a mere word from thousands of miles away would suffice.
"So they must have other plans?"
Elder Hong Tian frowned, already deep in thought.
Although they roughly guessed that the other party was not coming for them, everyone still had to be cautious.
After all, it was better to be safe than sorry.
"What is the current situation with County Magistrate Wu Wei?"
Ji Yuan then turned to Qian Nishang.
After the battle half a year ago, the cultivators from the Shenxuan Sect posed no threat.
The three who had fled were all seriously injured and might not even recover in a few months.
Especially the white-haired middle-aged man, who had burned his vital essence and shattered two of his top three flowers in order to escape.
With such severe injuries, it would take at least three to five years to recover.
According to Ji Yuan's estimation, the other party had likely already left Luoxia Prefecture and returned to their sect to recuperate.
Their focus had shifted from the Shenxuan Sect to County Magistrate Wu Wei.
If he wasn't mistaken, that person likely had an inextricable connection with the Samsara Tower.
Otherwise, how could he have mobilized Feng Chongguang of the Supervision Department half a year ago?
