From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 183: Fire Duck Fairy of Yatou Mountain
To the east of Qianzhang Cliff is a sacred mountain of volcanic rocks called Yatou Mountain. The mountain got its name because a fire crow failed to survive the calamity and the remains of a fire crow were left on the top of the mountain.

Later, Yatou Mountain was bought by a casual cultivator named Fire Duck Immortal. This Duck Immortal also practiced the Fire Path, and at noon every day, he would refine the remains of fire crows on the mountain.

On this day, he was using the midday sun's fire to offer sacrifices to the crow fire, and he vaguely felt that there were some divine fire auras in the neighbor's house next door.

He fled overseas from the inland of Kyushu just because he stole a treasure from a noble family of the human race - the Glazed Fire Bead.

While being chased all the way, he swallowed the Glazed Fire Pearl, which increased his strength dramatically and allowed him to carve out a bloody path, but also left behind a huge hidden danger.

After he swallowed the fire bead, there was always a ball of virtual fire burning in his stomach, and he had to swallow the spiritual fire every day. To do this, he found a volcano and practiced there for a hundred years.

As the saying goes: When a tiger grows big, it will eat people; when a disease is serious, it will harm your body.

This fire bead can absorb ordinary fire and transform it into spiritual fire. It is a treasure formed by the fire spirit stone being infected by the essence of human nature for hundreds of years.

At the beginning, he swallowed the glazed fire bead and refined the fire bead to improve his fire practice. However, the human essence in the fire bead had been trapped in his stomach, constantly devouring it with fire.

As he swallowed the evil fire from the volcano over a long period of time, the human energy in his stomach devoured the fire and took shape, transforming into a ball of virtual fire in his stomach, which would erupt and burn non-stop at noon every day.

Later, he found a method of fishing for fire. He could use real fire as bait to fish out the false fire in his stomach bit by bit, and then refine the stomach fire back into glass fire beads.

Since then, he has been traveling everywhere, but unfortunately, there are very few people practicing fire magic in the East China Sea. Finally, he found the remains of the Fire Crow Immortal on Chaoju Island.

This fire crow is from the Golden Crow clan, and his divine power is the Great Sun True Fire. He relies on a bit of debris to slowly cultivate the True Fire, and draw out the false fire in his stomach bit by bit.

Whether it is cultivating true fire or fishing out false fire, it is a long and arduous process, comparable to Jingwei filling the sea. If it were not for the burning stomach fire every day, he would have given up such a stupid thing long ago.

When he sensed the divine fire today, he had a feeling that this divine fire was very powerful and would definitely be able to draw out the internal heat in his stomach.

After he had endured the burning stomach fire at noon every day, he cast a spell to seal the fire hole on the top of Yatou Mountain and came to the Wuhui Cave on Qianzhang Cliff.

First, he cast a spell and knocked on the door. A spider demon came out from the cave and said, "How come you have time to come here today, Immortal?"

The Fire Duck Immortal has been here for more than 50 years, and the four or five blessed places nearby all recognize him, simply because he transcended the tribulation at the crater, and the blessed places were opened there.

He came here to buy a mountain in order to refine true fire, so his blessed land is not here. He can be said to be the well-known Fire Crow Immortal without a blessed land.

"Your wife and I are going to buy a batch of dead insects. I wonder if she is at home." The Fire Crow Immortal made up an excuse.

In order to soothe the internal heat in his stomach, he collected many prescriptions, one of which used dead water insects as the main ingredient, using the water to generate wind to drive away the toxic fire in the body.

Unfortunately, he was harmed by the human Yuan Qi, which could remove the evil fire in his body but could not clear the empty fire in his stomach.

"My wife is still on Golden Deer Island. I can't make the decision on this matter. It would be better if you come back another day." The gatekeeper spider said politely.

The Fire Crow and Duck Immortal made a face of annoyance and said, "Is there no one in charge of your cave? Dalang and Erlang are in the cave. Find one of them to talk to."

The gate-guarding spider demon had no choice but to go in and look for the second son, Li Li. When Zhu Sanniang was not around, she always asked him for instructions on the daily affairs of Wuhui Cave.

Here, Li Li and his elder brother Li Zhen were accompanying their uncle's family to a banquet. At another table, Gui Youguang was accompanying the guests, including Li Taiping, Lao Moji and others.

The gatekeeper spider came to the hall and told Li Li everything that happened outside the cave. Li Li had never dealt with the Fire Duck Fairy next door, so he had to go out and meet him.

"Uncle, aunt, cousin, I'll be back soon. Big brother, you stay with us for now." Li Li stood up and said with a fist salute.

"You go ahead. We are not strangers and there is no need for us to accompany you," said Yu's father.

After spending half a day together, Father Yu felt that his nephew was too sophisticated and lacked a good grasp of human relationships, and his hospitality seemed overly polite. As Li Li followed the gatekeeper spider demon out, Yu Shuyang felt a sense of relief. As if on a whim, a pure and natural wind was cultivated within his abdomen, protecting him from both internal and external disasters.

He didn't know what was going to happen, but he thought it must be related to his disciples. He immediately stood up and said, "Dad, Mom, I'll go take a look with my second cousin."

After Yu Shuyang finished speaking, he left the table and chased after him, leaving behind the stunned Yu father and mother, as well as the very puzzled Li Zhen.

Not long after, Yu Shuyang caught up with Li Li on the waterway, which connected the two sides of the lake island on Lingshui.

"Cousin, why are you here?" Li Li asked curiously.

Yu Shuyang did not hide it and told his feeling that the demon fairy coming from the cave entrance might be an external disaster for him.

Li Li wasn't entirely convinced, but he was used to giving others face, so he feigned surprise and said, "There's actually such a thing. Cousin, don't leave for a moment. I'll handle him."

At one point, the two cousins came to the cave entrance. Li Li came out of the cave alone, while Yu Shuyang lay at the entrance looking outside.

"Greetings from the immortal, this boy Li Li pays his respects." Li Li bowed politely and greeted.

The Fire Duck Immortal escaped from Kyushu. He had not seen anyone salute him overseas for many years, so he returned the salute to calm his excited mind.

"I suppose you are Li Erlang of Wuhui Cave. You are indeed a very polite person. I have come here to ask you something.

"I was refining fire on the top of Yatou Mountain just now, and I sensed some divine fire auras from you. I've come to ask for it. Is it possible?" said the Fire Duck Immortal.

Li Li was stunned when he heard this. Before leaving the cave, his cousin had just told him that the person coming to the cave door was looking for him. He didn't expect that his cousin was really right.

“So that the immortals know, you also know the origins of my family, we all practice water magic, so this divine fire is useless.

"Maybe I was too tired from practicing the technique, so something went wrong in my perception," Li Li said as an excuse.

There was not a single demon fairy in Wuhui Cave at this moment. If the Fire Duck Fairy in front of him attacked, there would be no other way but to guard the cave entrance tightly.

"Li Erlang, you can't fool me. When you were talking just now, there was a black aura on your body, which meant you were lying.

"As we've been neighbors for many years, I won't make things difficult for you. Just name a price and treat me as the buyer, okay?" the Fire Duck Immortal asked sternly.

The independent cultivators in the East China Sea love to kill and rob people, doing this kind of business with no capital. However, on several large islands, there are regulations prohibiting sneak attacks and indiscriminate killing of innocent people.

"Xianjia, we have been neighbors for many years. As you know, my father is the Water Palace General of the Twelve Dragons, and my brother is engaged to the eldest daughter of the Chaoju Chengmu family.

"My mother is still on Golden Deer Island. If you want to buy the sacred fire, you'd better wait for her to come back. Besides, my family doesn't have any sacred fire." Li Li said firmly.

He couldn't lose his courage at this time. As the saying goes: A tiger will not fall down even when it dies. Once a flaw is revealed, he will be the first one to suffer.

"What if I don't wait? Boy, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. Bring me the divine fire now and lend it to me for refining magic. This will keep the relationship between us harmonious."

The Fire Duck Immortal threatened with guns and sticks because he knew the background of the Wuhui Cave family and he couldn't do anything even if they really used gongs and drums.

Now we must take advantage of this opportunity to get the divine fire first so as to draw out the internal heat in the stomach.

　I'm so sleepy that I feel dizzy. That's all I have to say. Sorry everyone.
