Chapter 152 Scorching Sun Stone
The Phoenix Spirit Valley was indeed a different world. The several hundred meters tall precipitous cliff was surrounded by an extremely vast s.p.a.ce. Rather than calling it a valley, it would be more accurate to call it a sky ditch.
There were no signs of vegetation in this area, and rocks of all sizes could be seen. From time to time, egg-sized white pebbles could be seen on the ground, revealing a dazzling l.u.s.ter under the night sky, illuminating the entire Phoenix Spirit Valley.
The purple-clothed woman and Lei Ming walked in front, Tang Huan, Meng Zixuan, and Mu Yan stood in the middle, while the two giant men followed closely behind.
The group moved forward quickly, and the further they went, the hotter it became.
After about half an hour, they climbed over a rock slope that was sixty to seventy meters high. Then, a dazzling red light entered their eyes. In front of them, there was a gentle slope that was a few dozen meters down, which was the cliff at the end of Phoenix Spirit Valley. At the bottom of the cliff, there was a small pit with a radius of about ten meters.
The area around the pit was more than ten meters and the ground was bright red. From afar, it looked like a huge soldering iron that had been set ablaze.
"Did the three of you see that? That"s the "Phoenix Flame Essence"."
Lei Ming laughed as he raised his hand to point.
Tang Huan, Meng Zixuan and Mu Yan followed his finger and looked over, only to see that the bottom of the hole, which seemed like an inverted bamboo hat, had already been completely filled.
"It really is a "Phoenix Flame Essence"!"
Mu Yan could not help but exclaim. Seeing this, Meng Zixuan"s eyes also lit up.
At this moment, Tang Huan"s heart was also moved. To Weapon Refiner, the temptation of "Phoenix Flame Essence" was far stronger than that of ordinary Martial Warriors. To use "Phoenix Flame Essence" to forge a weapon that belonged to himself, that kind of accomplishment couldn"t be described with words.
But after a while, Tang Huan calmed down and quickly scanned his surroundings.
This place possessed such a precious "Phoenix Flame Essence," there was no way the Star Ocean Commerce would not send people to guard it. As expected, Tang Huan very quickly discovered a few figures that were hidden in the darkness nearby.
"My three friends, how do you plan to deal with this" Phoenix Flame Essence "?"
Lei Ming quickly glanced at the three of them, "The "Phoenix Flame Essence" is indeed precious, but it cannot be left behind for long, so if you want to merge the sword into a weapon, you have to directly forge it here. Also, if the "Phoenix Flame Essence" wants to play a role, it requires the "Dragon Crystal""s cooperation."
"Although the "Dragon Crystal" isn"t as rare as the "Phoenix Flame Essence", finding enough of these gems to forge weapons isn"t an easy thing either. If everyone feels that finding materials and forging weapons is too troublesome, then you can all transfer the Phoenix Flame Essence that the Martial Compet.i.tion obtained to our Chamber of Commerce. The price that our Chamber of Commerce offers will definitely satisfy all of you. " Lei Ming frowned, full of smiles.
"Manager Lei is right."
Mu Yan"s beautiful eyes turned and she chuckled. "However, I still prefer finding my own people to forge weapons, so I"ll have to trouble Chief Thunder to take out my 10% of the "Phoenix Flame Essence", right?"
Lei Ming frowned slightly, "Miss Mu Yan, do you know that the time it takes a "Phoenix Flame Essence" to leave the area of production cannot be more than three days? Otherwise, it would reliquefy, and the effects would become worse with each pa.s.sing day. Five days, I think you probably just walked out of Feng Ming Mountain, right? "
"No need to trouble Manager Lei about this." Mu Yan smiled beautifully.
"Miss Mu Yan is indeed of extraordinary origin, to think that she could even find the "Scorching Sun Stone"." Beside Lei Ming, the purple-clothed lady who had been silent all this while suddenly opened her mouth, and a peculiar light flashed in her dark beautiful eyes.
"Scorching Sun Stone? It is said that this thing, when placed with the "Phoenix Flame Essence", can allow it to exist for two months after leaving the place of production without liquefying. "
Lei Ming was shocked.
When Tang Huan and Meng Zixuan heard this, they could not help but look at each other. However, they could see the shock in each other"s eyes; clearly, this was the first time they had heard of the "Scorching Sun Stone" thing. One of the important factors behind the Phoenix Flame Essence"s rarity was that it could not leave the sp.a.w.ned land for a long time and could not be preserved.
However, the "Scorching Sun Stone" was actually able to sustain the "Phoenix Flame Essence" for as long as two months. It was practically a miracle.
Seeing the expressions and reactions of Lei Ming and the purple-clothed woman, it was very likely that the Star Ocean Commerce did not have any "Scorching Sun Stones" either. Otherwise, there was no need for them to transport the Dragon Crystal here from far away. Who knew where Mu Yan came from, to be able to own such a rare thing.
"You"re right, I didn"t expect the two of you to know about the "Intense Yang Stone" as well."
Mu Yan covered her red lips and laughed.
Lei Ming regained his senses, sucked in a deep breath, and laughed coldly: "Miss Mu Yan, not only do you have the "Scorching Sun Stone", you also have it with you. "Since that"s the case, then our company will not force you. Sun Yan, bring me 10% of your "Phoenix Flame Essence"!"
"Yes sir!"
A thin, middle-aged man suddenly shot out from the shadow that was about ten meters to the left.
Mu Yan"s beautiful eyes flitted about, glanced at Tang Huan and Meng Zixuan, and said with a smile: "I have three "Fierce Sun Stones". If the two of you also want to bring along the "Phoenix Flame Essence", I can give you one each for free."
Hearing that, anger surfaced on Lei Ming"s face, but he coldly snorted and resisted the urge to flare up. In a blink of an eye, he looked towards Meng Zixuan and asked, "What is Miss Meng"s decision?"
"Manager Lei, I wonder if you guys can help me forge a weapon?"
Meng Zixuan smiled sweetly. "I have all the other gems that can be used to forge weapons, and I have two Dragon Crystal s as well, so I need your Chamber of Commerce to provide me another "Dragon Crystal". Once the weapon is forged successfully, the rest of the "Phoenix Flame Essence" can be considered as my reward for your company."
"Alright!"
Lei Ming looked at the purple clothed lady in the blink of an eye, then nodded his head, his expression calming down.
Tang Huan smiled slightly. Meng Zixuan making such a decision was indeed a wise decision, forging weapons with "Phoenix Flame Essence" would require at least three "Dragon Crystal". Even if Meng Zixuan took away the "Phoenix Flame Essence", it would not necessarily be possible to find a third "Dragon Crystal".
Although the Star Ocean Commerce would lose some Phoenix Flame Essence s, it would save him a lot of trouble.
Lei Ming"s gaze fell on Tang Huan again as his lips slightly moved. Before he even spoke, the middle-aged man called Sun Yan had already flown back while sweating, and was holding a plate of "Phoenix Flame Essence" that was the size of a rice bowl. Looking at it from a close distance, this "Phoenix Flame Essence" was as clear as jade, dazzling everyone"s eyes. Although it continuously emitted a dense warmth, it was far from being as scorching as the surroundings, and gave people a feeling of being bathed in the spring wind.
Seeing that, Mu Yan took out a small parcel from his bosom, inside it was a cl.u.s.ter like object. The moment he opened it, a small piece of red light burst out. Three walnut-sized red gems were quietly lying on it, emitting a blazing heat.
They were probably the "Scorching Sun Stones".
Not long after, Mu Yan wrapped the "Phoenix Flame Essence" and the three gems back up, and said with a light smile: "Everyone, I"ll be taking my leave first."
"Miss Mu Yan, please wait!" Just then, Tang Huan suddenly said.
