Chapter 173 Refining Ding Fire
King Jin Zhou, once called by his name, became confused and utterly useless. He was the easiest demon king in the secret realm that Song Wuji faced to defeat, a complete good-for-nothing who lived off a woman.

Now, Song Wuji has even grabbed its wings, and with a slight shake, it has been shaken back from human form to bee form.

His mouth was filled with foul language, and the golden needles on his buttocks kept stinging him: "What kind of hero are you! You actually set fire to Qionghua Garden, don't you know that arson is a serious crime?"

Song Wuji removed his golden needles, which he then refined into magical artifacts. Not only were they no longer connected to his internal organs, but they also possessed a sharp, bone-like quality, combined with bee venom, and could even stabilize the wind.

Song Wuji thought of Doctor Li and thought to himself: If Doctor Li had not been harmed by the original City God, his skill in acupuncture would be most suitable for this acupuncture needle.

"What are you doing?"

King Jin Zhou was somewhat flustered when he saw the needle being pulled out. In addition, he had just come to his senses after being under the influence of the supernatural power. He saw the scorched earth on the ground and only the Qionghua Fairy sisters trembling and begging for mercy.

However, Li Pandi walked towards their original forms and plucked the two Qionghua flowers from the tree, causing them to instantly perish and their fragrance to vanish.

Li Pandi presented the Qionghua flowers to Song Wuji: "Lord of the Realm, these two Qionghua flowers are as beautiful as jade. They can be used to refine elixirs and make medicines, or perhaps even some delicious food."

"But regarding the Qionghua tree, I humbly request that the Lord of the Realm grant me permission to form a contract with it and nurture a new natal flower goddess."

Song Wuji nodded in agreement, accepting one of the Qionghua flowers and leaving the other for her to use in decorating the flower basket's magical implements.

Although these Qionghua demon sisters are weak, they are still eighth-rank beings. Since their strength is not in martial arts, they must have something else supporting their eighth-rank status. They just suffer from being naturally restrained by Song Wuji. If it were a different protagonist, they would probably be taken into the harem. Having twin Qionghua as maids, not to mention anything else, just holding a fan and standing behind someone would make them look quite presentable.

Song Wuji then examined the Twelve Flower Sequence Time Dial. Besides controlling the Hundred Flower Killing Array, this thing also regulates temperature and humidity, serving as a central hub for controlling the growth of all flowers. In essence, it is a time-related treasure, but it has been broken and lost most of its ability to control the time sequence. However, it can still slightly accelerate the growth of all flowers and increase their output.

Aside from staying in the Qionghua Garden and continuing to manage the flower nursery, there was no other use for it.

As for the Golden Bee Queen, Song Wuji said, "Whether you live or die depends entirely on yourself. I will give you two paths. One is to submit, voluntarily offer up the secret realm token, and become my servant. You will lose your queen title and use those flower dews to diligently make honey or wine. At least you will have some output and some value."

"If you still want freedom, I'll refine you in fire again, burn your beehive, and gamble on whether I can forge a honey-producing artifact."

"I am willing to serve Your Majesty."

The Golden Bee Queen sighed and offered up her primordial spirit and the Qionghua Garden Secret Realm Token.

Song Wuji imprinted his primordial spirit on it and then took it as his servant.

The Kitchen God is fond of sweets, especially honey. He is seated with two attendants, each carrying a jar. This jar is called the "jar of good and evil," as it contains the karma of good and evil deeds.

But Song Wuji was very suspicious; it was actually a sugar jar, or at least a jar that contained goodness.

Since we couldn't find Winnie the Pooh to carry us around, this Golden Queen Bee would be a good choice as a child. It's all golden and can even be used to cosplay a cheap version of the Golden Horned King, a disciple of Laozi.

“From this day forward, you will no longer be called King Jinzhou, but will be called Malt Boy.”

The Golden Bee Queen wanted to say something, but remembering how the two Flower Queens had just perished, she thought to herself, "This guy is ruthless! He had beauties in his arms and gave them a full massage with essential oils, yet he still had murderous intent. I have to be obedient to him now, otherwise I'll be useless and probably get killed just the same way."

Actually, he had really misunderstood Song Wuji. Song Wuji had initially intended to turn a blind eye to the Qionghua Garden. However, without revealing some ruthless methods, these people who skirted the rules thought they had extraordinary abilities, causing Song Wuji to abandon his idea of ​​transforming the place into a bathhouse to provide the city's residents with another place for entertainment.

In the early stages, it's best not to indulge too much. Just listen to some light music; there's no need to go to hot springs, have aromatherapy massages, or anything like that. Otherwise, if everyone is living such a comfortable life, who would be willing to fight tooth and nail and expand outwards?

Therefore, after collecting the Hundred Flower Dew, Hundred Flower Honey, and Royal Jelly, Song Wuji simply said, "I will still make this a honey field for you. After you have bred another brood of bees, you will need to search for spiritual flowers and herbs, mark them, or pollinate and breed them. After the seeds mature, you can transport them and plant them in this Qionghua Garden. Then I will count it as a contribution from you."

Malt Boy nodded repeatedly: "I understand!"

Song Wuji then returned the golden needle to him.

When Malt saw that the golden needle had been returned, he breathed a sigh of relief. If the needle hadn't been returned to him, he would have had difficulty protecting the hive, and those mantis demons and beetle demons would probably not have submitted to him.

Although now those insect spirits have also been refined by the stove fire and turned into materials scattered all over the ground.

Song Wuji protected Lin Pandi for a while, observing the effects of her long-awaited ninth-rank cultivation, and directed Qin Huai to collect the spoils of war.

Those butterflies and moths, after being burned to death by the stove fire, either turned into hairpins, hair ornaments, or hair ornaments with dangling ornaments. Some were also made into silk fans or sachets, and even the original demonic energy was rarely seen.

However, after the Qionghua Fairy sisters died, a fragment of the Wood Virtue Grid was swallowed by the Stove Grid. Since fire counters wood, it was completely refined in one go. It had no other use, except that the wood helped the fire. Song Wuji's stove fire gained another layer of transformation, "Ding Fire".

Bing fire represents the fire of the sun and thunder, while Ding fire represents the fire of a stove, firewood, and candlelight.

Song Wuji's fire originally belonged to the Ding fire category. The reason it has undergone so many changes is that this Ding fire is not an ordinary fire, but belongs to the Ding fire among the six Ding and six Jia in Taoism.

When Laozi was forging weapons, there was a saying that the Six Jia pulled the bellows, the Six Ding blew the divine fire, and Laozi personally forged them.

Of course, Song Wuji was simply exaggerating, but there's one point to note: this fire is no ordinary fire. From now on, not only demons and monsters will fear it, but ghosts and gods will also be terrified of it, as it can burn the essence of the Three Treasures.

If the essence remains undiminished, the fire will not be extinguished; it will surely burn the person until they are reduced to charcoal, and the person will die from exhaustion of their essence.

Waiting to be able to burn energy and ignite spirit.

That is, one has cultivated the Samadhi True Fire.

There's no need for the Iron Pillar Palace Taoist's supernatural talisman seeds; as long as enough fragments are absorbed and the stove grid is replenished, these fire supernatural powers will naturally be unsealed one by one.

Lin Pandi felt a pang of regret, but she had already received too much care from Song Wuji, and asking for more fragments would be going too far. She thought to herself, "The fragments of the Qionghua in my body are only the size of a fingernail. Although the aura of the Realm Lord is only slightly revealed, it is still extremely powerful. I'm afraid he has already refined many fragments."

After the Heavenly Court fell and the Three Realms and Six Paths fell into chaos, countless fragments of these divine positions collapsed.

Not only demons can obtain fragments of divine power, but some people are also destined to obtain these fragments, but their luck is not on their side and their destiny is not in sync, making it difficult for them to achieve anything.
