Chapter 2796: Chapter 2796: Divine Fire?

Fang Bai listened to the vendor’s boastful rhetoric, merely to sell the crimson stone at a high price, and couldn’t help but find it amusing.

"Since your stone is so magical, why has nobody shown any interest?"

After the vendor finished speaking, Fang Bai asked with a smile.

"They are blind, unable to recognize good stuff!"

The vendor said angrily, looking like a person who struggles to find understanding.

Fang Bai’s gaze swept over the crimson stone in the vendor’s hand and casually said, "Although your stone seems not to have any magical properties, it looks quite pretty. I’m planning to exchange it as a gift for my companion. Name your price!"

The vendor’s eyes darted sideways, then held up a finger, and said, "Flat price, ten thousand pieces of Orange Divine Crystals!"

"Do you think, apart from me, there will be other strong figures exchanging for this worthless rock?"

Fang Bai said as he stood up, moving as if to leave.

The vendor quickly said, "Then give a price, let me see if it’s agreeable. If so, I’ll exchange it with you!"

Fang Bai also held up a finger and said, "One thousand pieces of Orange Divine Crystals!"

"What?"

The vendor didn’t expect Fang Bai to haggle so ruthlessly, instantly jumped up, and exclaimed, "One thousand pieces of Orange Divine Crystals is impossible! At least eighty thousand pieces!"

"I’ll take it for five thousand pieces!"

"Fifty thousand pieces, no less!"

"Eight thousand pieces, any more and I don’t want it!"

"Hey, brother, don’t go! How about... we both make concessions! Thirty thousand pieces of Orange Divine Crystals, how’s that?"

"Ten thousand pieces of Orange Divine Crystals is the highest I can offer."

"Brother, ten thousand is really too little, can you add some more?"

"Haha... If you’re unwilling to exchange it, I’ll look elsewhere for something I like!"

"Alright, alright, consider it making a friend! Ten thousand it is... alas, a big loss this time!"

...

After some bargaining, Fang Bai finally exchanged the crimson stone from the vendor for ten thousand pieces of Orange Divine Crystals.

Fang Bai, suppressing his inner joy, tossed the crimson stone into the Five Elements Space Ring, strolled around the Cultivation Resource Exchange Market once more, then returned to his dwelling.

After setting up an Isolation Formation at his dwelling to prevent other strong figures from prying, Fang Bai eagerly took the crimson stone out from the Five Elements Space Ring and examined it closely.

In appearance, the crimson stone seemed similar to a piece of Red Divine Crystal, showing no special traits.

Typically, strong figures would think this is just an ordinary stone, not even as valuable as Red Divine Crystal.

However, upon first glance, Fang Bai keenly sensed a tremendously rich God Power of Fire emanating from it.

Moreover, this power was akin to a seething, ready-to-explode volcano; once erupted, its force would be unstoppable.

In other words, the stone Fang Bai acquired is like a dust-covered Mingzhu gem; once wiped clean, it would shine brilliantly.

Fang Bai placed the crimson stone in his palm, letting his Divine Sense slowly seep into the stone, feeling a surge of joy.

Fang Bai, although aware of the stone’s uniqueness, didn’t expect it to house a separate universe within.

When Fang Bai’s Divine Sense seeped into the stone, what appeared fist-sized held a vast space inside.

Within that space, a raging fire blazed fiercely, its flames reaching a thousand zhang high.

Fang Bai’s Divine Sense barely entered the fiery space when he felt a sharp pain in his Sea of Consciousness, like a needle prick, knowing it was due to the intense heat, he quickly withdrew his Divine Sense to avoid damage.

"I’m currently at the mid-level of True God Realm cultivation, yet my Sea of Consciousness can’t thoroughly explore that fire. Could that fire indeed be Divine Fire?"

Fang Bai thought to himself.

Just as the Three Thousand Worlds have Spiritual Fire and the Immortal Realm has Immortal Fire, Divine Fire exists in the Divine Realm, and its power is incomparably greater than Immortal Fire, capable of obliterating everything within a thousand-mile radius once released.

Fang Bai heard that Divine Fire is extremely rare in the Divine Realm, and those who can control Divine Fire are immensely powerful figures.

Fang Bai has been in the Divine Realm for quite some time but has never seen a figure possessing Divine Fire, indicating that ordinary figures haven’t the opportunity to acquire Divine Fire; even if acquired, they might be obliterated by its backlash.

"If that fire is truly the legendary Divine Fire, it will be my boon."

Fang Bai toyed with the crimson stone, joyfully thinking that this trip to the Vermilion Phoenix Star was indeed worthwhile.

Fang Bai’s unique constitution allowed him to devour Spiritual Fire in the Three Thousand Worlds and devour Immortal Fire in the Immortal Realm, confident that upon arriving in the Divine Realm, he could similarly devour Divine Fire and refine it for his use.

Nonetheless, Fang Bai knew now wasn’t the right time to devour and refine the Divine Fire. When he returns to Purple Cloud Star and reaches his dwelling in the Temple, then set up Isolation Formation and devote himself to devouring and refining the Divine Fire without delay.

Though Fang Bai doesn’t know the true extent of the Divine Fire’s power, based on the previous experience of devouring Immortal Fire, perhaps the Divine Fire might elevate him another small realm upon entering his body.

Possessing Divine Fire equates to obtaining a powerful divine ability, making it easier to handle other strong figures.

At this point, Fang Bai put away the crimson stone, calmed his excitement, and went to Starlord Hall to speak with Ziyun Starlord and Vermilion Phoenix Starlord.

Ziyun Starlord initially merely intended his brother, Vermilion Phoenix Starlord, to meet this "delicious prey" Fang Bai, without planning to stay on Vermilion Phoenix Star for long.

However, Fang Bai is now also the Elder of Tribute on Vermilion Phoenix Star, having taken many cultivation resources from Vermilion Phoenix Starlord Hall, so he stayed longer, crafting Divine Elixirs and Divine Artifacts suitable for True God Realm figures for those strong figures in the Starlord Hall.

Vermilion Phoenix Starlord, seeing Fang Bai’s extraordinary alchemy and artifact refining capabilities, was greatly pleased and gifted Fang Bai a handsome sum of Orange Divine Crystals, agreeing that Fang Bai would spend a few months each year on Vermilion Phoenix Star, fulfilling the duties of the Elder of Tribute.

Two months later, Fang Bai departed Vermilion Phoenix Star with Purple Cloud Star, heading back to Purple Cloud Star.

Throughout the journey back, the Scorpion Clan Ancestor still trailed from afar.

Fang Bai watched the Scorpion Clan Ancestor’s shadow, pondering that this old man seems determined to capture him, showcasing a relentless determination.

"If you’re truly annoyed by that old thief, someday I’ll join forces with Vermilion Phoenix Starlord to settle him!"

Ziyun Starlord saw Fang Bai frequently looking back at the Scorpion Clan Ancestor’s starship, mistaking it for fear, patted his shoulder, and spoke with a smile.

Fang Bai shook his head and waved, saying, "No need to trouble the Starlord! I hope one day I can personally kill him to solidify my Dao heart!"

Ziyun Starlord smiled and nodded, yet in his eyes filled with laughter, a fleeting look of disdain and scorn quickly crossed.
