Rise of the Alchemy God

.

"Rare flame? What is that?"

"Just like artifacts, there is also a special category of entities that can be created or found in nature.

Rare flames are one of them.

They are energetic entities that are difficult to find even in the celestial plane.

These are very important for those with elemental fire-type physiques, but they are also useful for other types of physiques.

These flames are highly sought after, especially by alchemists, who can improve their talent through them.

There are indeed methods to create slightly inferior versions of these flames, but they are well-guarded secrets by each organization," she said.

Hearing this, Ethan felt as if someone had thrown a bucket of cold water on him.

With a trembling voice, he said, "What are the chances that such flames exist in nature in the mortal plane?"

"The formation of these energetic entities requires a special environment with a high level of fire-type spiritual energy.

Considering that here in the mortal plane, the level of Qi concentration in the air is much lower than in the celestial plane, I would say the chances of finding a rare flame here are very low."

At this point, Ethan could only find some time to visit the Medicine Pavilion and inquire about the awakening pill there.

Just as he was preparing to explore the system further, the light sound of knocking on the door interrupted him.

From the door came a voice quite familiar to him.

"Hey Ethan, are you awake already?"

Ethan, hearing this, responded.

"Yes, I'm already awake. Do you need something?" he asked, wondering why Da Shu had come to call him.

Usually, he went out in the afternoon, as he was either cultivating or lost in sleep, and usually didn't wake up before the afternoon.

"Today, I have to go to the Spirit Forest to gather spiritual wood. You told me you would help me complete the mission. Did you forget?" he asked.

'Spirit Forest? Oh right, I had forgotten,' thought Ethan and then said,

"No, I didn't forget. Wait for me outside, I'll get ready quickly and come out," he said and hurried to prepare.

Spiritual wood was a special type of wood found only in certain special places.

The Phoenix Sect, which was built on the mountain peaks, south of the Phoenix Kingdom, was located near some spiritual veins.

These allowed the sect to live in an environment rich in pure Qi, which was good for the cultivation of its disciples, as well as influencing the surrounding environment.

The Spirit Forest was one of these environments.

It was located at the foot of the mountain where the sect resided and was characterized by a vast flora and fauna.

The spiritual wood was harvested directly from the spiritual trees that grew in this forest.

It was very difficult to cut, but being infused with spiritual energy, it had various uses.

From the construction of sturdy buildings to the creation of talismans or even pills, it was widely used.

Da Shu had accepted a mission from the mission hall that required procuring a certain amount of wood for the sect.

Although his stature was enormous, it was still difficult for one person to transport this wood, so he decided to ask Ethan for help and would share the profit with him.

After a short time, Ethan came out of his room, wearing his disciple's robe and his travel bag, and left the lodge.

Outside, Da Shu was waiting, towering with his height as usual, also wearing his robe.

Ethan greeted him, but then noticed something was missing and asked,

"Aren't we taking a cart or something to transport the wood?" He thought about how they would carry all that wood.

Spiritual trees were very sturdy, and the wood obtained from them was equally resistant and heavy.

Ethan, with his normal physical body, didn't think he could carry the wood, especially since they had to climb the entire staircase from the bottom to the top.

Even now, every time Ethan had to go to the city, he spent hours descending and climbing, and since his cultivation hadn't advanced, he still struggled a lot, so he had no intention of carrying unnecessary baggage.

Da Shu said nothing and smiled while raising his right hand.

Ethan didn't immediately understand what he meant by this action, but then he noticed something.

On the index finger of his hand, a gold ring gleamed.

Ethan immediately understood what it was: it was a dimensional ring!

Yes, a dimensional ring.

It was an object with a dimensional space in it, which allowed storing things inside.

Ethan knew about this object but discovered only later that it existed in this world too.

He wanted one, but seeing the prices for a dimensional ring, he changed his mind.

Even for a low-grade dimensional ring, the price was around a medium-grade spiritual stone.

A spiritual stone was the currency used by cultivators.

It was a stone mined directly from some spiritual mines, and its value was enormous for cultivators.

They contained spiritual energy, and depending on the concentration of it, they could go from low grade to high grade.

To give a comparison, a low-grade spiritual stone could be worth a hundred gold coins.

The value of medium-grade and high-grade stones was in a ratio of 1:100. So one medium-grade spiritual stone was worth a hundred low-grade ones, and a high-grade one could be worth a thousand low-grade stones or a hundred medium-grade stones.

Ethan, who had yet to even see a gold coin, was far from obtaining a dimensional ring.

"Tch, if you have a dimensional ring, why do you need my help?" he asked, a bit jealous of his friend's ring.

Da Shu was also from a fairly well-off family.

His family was a family of merchants, not as rich as the prestigious families of Sun City, but still quite wealthy, so he wasn't surprised that his friend had managed to obtain a dimensional ring.

"This is just a low-grade dimensional ring, so it can only hold a limited amount of wood, but it's enough for the mission.

I need your help to cut down the spiritual trees because if I do it alone, I might have to stay there for an entire day," he said as if it was nothing.

Ethan wanted to punch his face but doubted he would reach it, given his height, and besides, he was already at the second level of body refining, so the punch would hurt Ethan himself and not harm Da Shu.

"Haa, let's get moving, but at the end of this mission, you owe me dinner," he said, starting to move, with Da Shu following to head towards the sect's entrance.

"Sure, no problem, I'll make you eat until you burst," he said, laughing as they walked.

"Huh, this daddy has an infinite stomach, you'll see how I'll make you spend," he said, and so the two friends set off for the forest.
