Chapter 254

Two Types of Earth Fire

The shop was very small and narrow, with a row of broken shelves on all four sides. These shelves had accumulated quite a bit of black dust, and exquisite wooden carvings were neatly arranged on the shelves.

As he browsed through the wooden carvings on the shelves, Zhuowen's face revealed a trace of surprise. Even though these wooden carvings were exquisite, they were all half-finished products, and not a single one was complete.

No wonder this shop's business was so bleak. It turned out that the wooden carvings on display were all half-finished products. No matter how exquisite the carvings were, no one would be willing to buy half-finished products!

In the innermost part of the shop, a middle-aged man in his forties held a carving knife as he focused on carving the wooden carvings in his hands. He completely ignored Zhuowen's arrival.

Even though he was a little surprised by the shop owner's attitude, Zhuowen did not pay too much attention to it. He shrugged his shoulders as he carefully sensed the abnormal movements of the blue metal piece. He could feel that when he entered the shop, the movement of the blue metal piece had also increased.

"Looks like one of the chapters of the 《Six Wings of Wind and Lightning》 must be in this shop. I wonder where it is placed?" Lifting his head and looking at the shelves around him, Zhuowen secretly thought in his heart.

"Eh?"

Just as Zhuowen passed by an inconspicuous shelf, he noticed a trace of blue light flickering at the corner of the shelf.

Moving away the wooden carvings at the corner of the shelf, Zhuowen's eyes flashed. A dark blue metal piece actually appeared in his line of sight. Furthermore, Zhuowen could see that the surface of this blue metal piece actually had a pattern of a flood dragon. Clearly, this recorded the Lightning Flood Dragon Wings of the 《Six Wings of Wind and Lightning》.

Picking up the blue metal piece, Zhuowen's face could not help but reveal a trace of joy as he muttered to himself, "Looks like coming to Broken Rock City this time was the right choice. I actually found the second fragment of the 《Six Wings of Wind and Lightning》 so quickly."

"Kid!

Your luck is really good. Not long after you obtained the Lightning Snake Wings, you found the Lightning Flood Dragon Wings. Looks like this Wind and Lightning Sacred Symbol is destined to have some fate with you! "Xiao Hei's voice involuntarily rang out in his mind at this moment.

Zhuowen smiled. His smile was filled with excitement and joy. He carefully held the piece of metal. Feeling the cold touch of the metal, Zhuowen forcibly suppressed the excitement in his body.

At this moment, the middle-aged man in the shop had finally finished dealing with the wooden carving in his hands. However, he still did not raise his head. His somewhat aged voice reverberated in the room.

"Do you want to buy wood carvings?"

Upon hearing the man's inquiry, Zhuowen smiled. He walked to the front of the counter and handed over the blue metal piece in his hand to the man. He politely asked, "Shopkeeper, do you still have this kind of metal piece here?"

Upon hearing Zhuowen's question, the middle-aged man's hand that was holding the carving knife suddenly trembled. He frowned slightly and lifted his head. His gaze swept across the metal piece in Zhuowen's hand as an indescribable expression flashed across his eyes.

Gazing at the face that appeared in front of him, Zhuowen could not help but be stunned. The right side of the face was actually filled with scars. It could be said that the face was completely ruined. If someone who did not know about it suddenly saw this face, they would definitely be shocked.

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and coldly stared at Zhuowen. He indifferently said, "Young friend, why are you asking about this metal piece?

Could it be that you have seen a similar metal piece before? "

Upon hearing this, Zhuowen's gaze flickered. He smiled and shook his head, "I once saw a similar metal piece in an auction. At that time, I only felt that it was extraordinary. Unfortunately, the price was too high, so I gave up on it!

Today, I saw a similar metal piece here, so I asked out of curiosity. "

The Wind Thunder Sacred Symbol was after all a treasure of the world. If others knew that the metal piece contained the secret of the Wind Thunder Sacred Symbol, it was likely that Zhuowen would become the enemy of the entire world. In fact, he would not even have a chance to obtain this metal piece.

The middle-aged man glanced meaningfully at Zhuowen and coldly said, "No, I obtained this metal piece by accident. Furthermore, I can sense that this metal piece is incomplete."

Zhuowen could not help but feel somewhat helpless when he heard the middle-aged man's indifferent reply. He could only continue, "Old sir, are you willing to sell this metal piece? I am willing to buy it at a high price."

"I'm not selling it!"

The middle-aged man ignored Zhuowen and lowered his head to continue carving. His tone was filled with unquestionable authority.

Zhuowen did not expect the middle-aged man to reject him so directly. His eyes narrowed. No matter what, he was determined to obtain this metal piece. After cultivating the Lightning Serpent Wings, Zhuowen could sense the extraordinariness and strength of a cultivation method like the Six Wings of Wind and Lightning. Just the Lightning Serpent Wings alone gave him unrivalled speed under the Ultimate Emperor Stage.

If he learned the Lightning Serpent Wings as well, his speed would probably be as fast as lightning, comparable to an Ultimate Emperor Stage cultivator!

At that time, even an Ultimate Emperor Stage cultivator might not be able to kill Zhuowen.

Just as Zhuowen's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts, Xiao Hei's voice suddenly rang out in his mind, "Kid!

This middle-aged man is not simple. Don't be rash! "

Zhuowen's heart trembled when he heard this. He asked curiously, "Could it be that this ordinary-looking man is an expert?"

"Yes!

If my investigation is correct, this person's original strength should be at the Ultimate Emperor Stage. However, there is another force within his body that is constantly suppressing his Yuan Power, causing his strength to remain at the level of a half-step Ultimate Emperor Stage cultivator.

Moreover, this person's battle prowess definitely surpasses that of an ordinary half-step Ultimate Emperor Stage cultivator. You won't be able to gain anything from him at all, "Xiao Hei secretly said.

"Oh?

He's actually an Ultimate Emperor Stage cultivator? I never thought that such an inconspicuous shop would be hiding such an expert. "Zhuowen's eyes flickered. He could not help but feel astonished.

The middle-aged man suddenly raised his head and stared at the unwilling youth before him. He sneered, "Kid!

Don't even think about my metal plate anymore. I don't care about money, and I'm not afraid of you robbing me!

Because as far as I'm concerned, robbing me is the most unwise thing to do. "

Zhuowen shook his head and smiled faintly, "If I can help you recover your strength in a short amount of time, would you still be unwilling to sell this metal plate to me?"

Crack! A crisp sound immediately rang out. The carving knife in the middle-aged man's hand had actually been broken.

The middle-aged man's pupils shrank slightly as he stared fixedly at the youth before him. "Who are you?

How can you tell that I'm injured? "

His injuries were extremely obscure. Even an Ultimate Emperor Stage cultivator might not necessarily be able to tell that he was injured. However, this ordinary-looking youth before him had actually pointed out his injuries in an instant. This caused the middle-aged man to be both surprised and delighted.

"Who I am isn't important.

What's important is that I can heal your injuries and allow you to regain your peak strength. "

A faint smile appeared at the corners of Zhuowen's mouth. His face was filled with confidence. Earlier, Xiao Hei had checked the man's injuries and discovered that the energy that had been suppressing his strength was actually a type of Earth Stage cold Qi. This type of cold Qi corresponded with the Earth Fire and was a rather troublesome energy to deal with.

This was also why the man before him was suppressed by the cold Qi even though he was clearly an Ultimate Emperor Stage cultivator.

However, Zhuowen possessed the Ice Fire Sacred Rune and two types of Earth Fire. The middle-aged man's cold Qi was like a maggot in one's bones.

"Why should this old man believe you?

Although you have some eyesight and can see my injuries, even this old man can't do anything about them. Don't tell me that a little Earth King brat like you can! "

The middle-aged man quickly regained his senses and looked at Zhuowen with an unfriendly expression as he spoke coldly.

"The energy that has been suppressing your strength is probably a type of cold Qi. The only thing that can get rid of this cold Qi is a unique natural flame!

And I just happen to possess this unique flame … "

As he spoke, Zhuowen took a step forward and countless Nine Heavens Thunder Inferno Flames immediately surged out from behind him. Finally, they gathered in the palm of his right hand and turned into a ball of blue lightning fire that was composed of lightning and fire. It burned fiercely in the palm of his hand.

"This is … the Earth Stage Nine Heavens Thunder Inferno Flame?"

The middle-aged man stared at the blue lightning fire in Zhuowen's palm. The expression on his face became extremely interesting and he could not help but exclaim in surprise.

"It seems that you have also recognized the Nine Heavens Thunder Inferno Flame in my palm. With the power of this flame, it should be enough to get rid of the cold Qi in your body!" Zhuowen could not help but smile when he saw the shock on the man's face.

However, the middle-aged man shook his head and said, "You possess an Earth Fire like the Nine Heavens Thunder Inferno Flame at such a young age. It seems that your background is not simple!

Unfortunately, the cold Qi in my body is Extreme Frost. It is the most terrifying type of Earth Stage cold Qi. I'm afraid that the Nine Heavens Thunder Inferno Flame alone will not be able to get rid of it! "

"Extreme Frost?"

Zhuowen's pupils suddenly shrank when he heard this. He had heard of Extreme Frost before. It was also a type of Earth Stage cold Qi. However, the Extreme Frost's power was above all other Earth Stage cold Qi. Its power was almost infinitely close to the Heaven Stage cold Qi. It was the overlord of all Earth Stage cold Qi. The Nine Heavens Thunder Inferno Flame was indeed much weaker than it.

"Therefore, you should give up!

Unless it is a Heavenly Fire or two Earth Fires, the cold Qi in my body will not be able to get rid of the Extreme Frost. "The middle-aged man's mouth revealed a bitter smile as he spoke with waning interest.

"I don't have a Heavenly Fire on me. However, I do have two Earth Fires …"

With a faint smile, Zhuo Wen suddenly waved his left hand, and a Green Fire Lotus immediately appeared in his left palm. Countless green sparks floated around the Green Fire Refining Lotus like snowflakes, looking gorgeous and colorful.

Bang!

The middle-aged man's left hand stiffened. The half-finished wooden carving in his hand immediately fell to the ground. He stared in disbelief at the young man in front of him who was holding the Nine Heavens Thunder Inferno Flame in one hand and the Three Thousand Green Lotus Flame in the other. His entire body involuntarily trembled.

"Nine Heavens Thunder Inferno Flame and Three Thousand Green Lotus Flame?

You actually possess two Earth Fires at the same time. You … "The middle-aged man felt that he was speaking incoherently. He could only stare blankly at the young man in front of him.
