57: Chapter 57: Stinking Attitude 57: Chapter 57: Stinking Attitude “Disgraceful thing.” Huo Lie glared fiercely at the brawny man and cursed.

Turning his head, Huo Lie clasped his fists towards Mu Can.

“Young brother, I believe you have the ability to help us win a place in the competition, but I’m not sure if you’re willing to participate on our behalf?”

It’s allowed for Alchemist Associations to seek external aid for their grand competitions because their tenet is that all alchemists in the world are one family, and the goal of the Alchemist Associations is even simpler: to restore the glory of the Mortal World’s Alchemy Dao.

You should know that in the present Mortal World, there are no alchemists capable of refining Heaven Rank elixirs.

Ever since that time when top-level alchemists disappeared without a trace, the Mortal World’s Alchemy Dao has begun to decline.

“I’m willing to help, but I want to ask when exactly the competition will take place?” Mu Can was sincerely thinking of helping, but he also had his own selfish reasons: he wanted to take this opportunity to thoroughly understand the current level of Mortal World’s alchemy techniques.

Seeing that Mu Can was willing to help him, a smile appeared on Huo Lie’s face, “There’s still plenty of time.

The competition will be held in Dan City six months from now, where eighteen branches will gather to compete.”

“Six months?

That’s still manageable.” Mu Can thought and said.

After dealing with Mu Family’s affairs, the first thing he would do is to look for his father, whom he hasn’t seen for too long.

He’s always been worried about Mu Zi’ang.

Moreover, he’s confident that after defeating Donghuang, he will also make a trip back to Immortal Ancient Academy, but with his current Martial King power, returning would only add to the ridicule.

“Then I’ll take the liberty to thank you in advance here.

I wonder if the young brother has any requests for my Flame Branch?

As long as it’s within our power, we will not shirk from it.” Huo Lie clasped his fists again, speaking with sincerity.

The members of the Flame Branch behind him also roared loudly in agreement, “We will not shirk.”

“Mu Family is going to soar to the skies again.” Other family cultivators who came to watch the excitement spoke upon seeing this scene.

Establishing a relationship with the Alchemist Association was like a pie falling from the sky for a family in a small city like Pingyun City.

“It’s because they have a genius, just accept it,” another cultivator said sourly.

At times, a genius truly can change the destiny of a family.

“I do actually have a request,” Mu Can said after thinking for a while.

“Whatever it is, young brother, as long as we, the Flame Branch, can do it, just say the word,” Huo Lie said generously.

From the words of the two Martial Venerates he had just consulted, Huo Lie learned that Mu Family had hidden a super expert, and thus he abandoned any thoughts of taking action.

However, Huo Lie also hoped that Mu Can would have a request for him, because after all, the stronger one is, the more they value personal favors.

“I wonder if President Huo Lie knows where I can find Innate Pill Fire?” asked Mu Can.

Although Purple Cloud knew where to find Innate Pill Fire, almost all were in the Immortal World, which was still too far away from the current Mu Can.

“Innate Pill Fire?” Huo Lie asked, puzzled.

Dan Fire refers to the flame used by alchemists for refining, which gradually came to represent most flames in the world.

There are two types of Dan Fire: Innate Pill Fire and Acquired Pill Fire.

Innate Pill Fire naturally exists between heaven and earth, with tremendous power, usually hidden in unique spaces and incredibly difficult to find and tame.

Nevertheless, almost all alchemists who have Innate Pill Fire become top-level alchemists.

Famous Innate Pill Fires like Purple Jade Flame and Green Feather Returning Origin Fire are recorded to be more than thirty different kinds, but very few are documented as being tamed by alchemists.

The more common Pill Fire among alchemists is Acquired Pill Fire.

Among them, the Pill Fire formed through magic artifacts is known as Artifact Fire, one of the weakest of the Pill Fires.

Slightly more powerful is the flame collected from demon beasts, known as Beast Fire, which is the choice for most alchemists.

The strength of Beast Fire is determined by the demon beast’s power; it’s uneven, with fires like Purple Cloud’s far surpassing most Innate Pill Fires.

However, these are exceptions; not everyone can have the incredible Qi Fortune of Purple Cloud.

Among Beast Fires, the weaker ones are almost on par with Artifact Fire.

“Um, Innate Pill Fire,” Mu Can nodded at Huo Lie affirmatively.

“Whether Innate Pill Fire even exists is another matter,” a man in black behind Huo Lie said with a sneer upon hearing Mu Can’s words.

He still used a demon beast’s Beast Fire, Fiery Flame Turtle, and was constantly mocked by his peers for it.

“No, Innate Pill Fire does exist.

I know of three people who possess Innate Pill Fire, and they are all within the Alchemist Association,” Huo Lie shook his head in response.

“So, Innate Pill Fire truly exists.

I had always thought it was just a legend,” the speaker from earlier said.

“Do you think everyone is like you, using the flame of a green-haired turtle?” His companion immediately burst into laughter.

“Scram to the side.” The black-clothed person said angrily, humiliated by the joke.

Huo Lie thought carefully and said, “Innate Pill Fire, there is indeed a record of it in my branch.

But the record is too ancient, it’s hard to tell if it’s true or not.”

“Oh?

Where?” Mu Can, hearing there might actually be news of Innate Pill Fire, asked with interest.

He realized his mistake as soon as the words left his mouth; the place was noisy with many ears listening, so he quickly pulled Huo Lie towards the Mu Family’s hall.

“Wait, Can, I’ve brought what you wanted.” From afar, they saw Old Hu panting heavily as he ran over carrying something covered with a red cloth on a tray.

Mu Can stopped in his tracks; the main character had arrived.

“Here, Can.” Old Hu disdainfully looked at the tray in his hand, wanting to pass it to Mu Can.

“You hold onto it for now.” Mu Can took one look and didn’t dare to take it.

“Pfft.” The onlookers with quicker wits had already guessed what was on the tray and started to snicker behind their hands.

“Brother Mu Can, you’re too disgusting.” Qingyi glared at Mu Can with disdain and then also covered her mouth, snickering secretly.

The brawny man had long since lifted his Big Cauldron and followed behind Huo Lie.

Seeing this scene, his face turned white, and he almost vomited in disgust.

“You, come here.” Mu Can pointed at the brawny man and said.

The brawny man shook his head, refusing to take a step forward even facing death.

Xuanyuan Mingkong chuckled, gave a light flick towards the brawny man, and the brawny man felt his body move uncontrollably towards Mu Can.

“Can is still as mischievous as ever.”

Even Xuanyuan Mingkong, usually unfazed, showed a smile in the face of this scene.

“You still dare to come over despite knowing to take advantage when the sh*t’s hot?” Mu Can looked at the brawny man and asked.

The brawny man hadn’t reacted yet, and Mu Can stepped back, shouting, “Old Hu, slap it on his face.”

Not just Huo Lie’s face changed color, almost everyone took a step back.

If one were splattered with feces, these high-ranking experts would lose so much face, how would they ever face people again?

Old Hu held his nose with one hand and with a swoosh flipped the tray onto the brawny man’s face with the other.

“Damn it, I’ll teach you for having such a foul mouth.” Old Hu shouted.

“Ah!” Along with astonished cries, yellow liquid splattered everywhere.

The brawny man was secretly controlled by Xuanyuan Mingkong and hadn’t reacted when he felt a warm tray slapped onto his face.

“I’ve been attacked with sh*t?” This was the last thought of the brawny man before he began retching frantically.

However, the expected foul stench did not spread.

“Stop vomiting, it’s just flour paste with color added, but if you dare to have such a foul mouth next time, I guarantee you’ll get to eat what you wanted.” Seeing the frantically retching brawny man, Mu Can said indifferently.

Hearing Mu Can’s words, Huo Lie’s face, which had been changing colors, gradually returned to normal.

If Mu Can had truly used feces to slap the brawny man, such a face-slapping incident would have meant no possibility for cooperation between the two ever again.

But if it were a prank, that was acceptable.

Huo Lie had also wanted to teach the brawny man a lesson.

“Shameful thing, get lost and go back.” Huo Lie looked at the brawny man and said coldly.

PS: Second chapter for today, were you disgusted?

How could I let Old Hu really play with poo, after all he’s an important supporting male character, keep on adding to your collection and keep recommending.
