Chapter Thirty-Four: The Wondrous Uses of Fire Qi

  Yao Mei Li had never directly clashed with Zhao Long before, and the two of them rarely spoke to each other. Sometimes when she said something a bit harsh, Auntie Li would immediately interrupt and take over the conversation. Moreover, when he got married to the landlady, Zhao Long was very enthusiastic in helping out, and normally when the landlady asked him to do something, he wouldn't refuse.

  Time passed, Yao Meili really thought Zhao Long was a soft persimmon. Now that Zhao Long got angry, he immediately scared her away. Unconsciously, she had already retreated to the courtyard, and Zhao Long's door closed. Yao Meili stood in the courtyard for a while before coming back to herself.

  "What are you glaring at? If you have the ability, go buy a house yourself. I'm telling you, this isn't over." After calming down, Yao Meili shouted another sentence in the courtyard, but thinking of Zhao Long's voice and gaze from earlier, she couldn't help but shrink her shoulders again, muttering to herself as she went upstairs.

  Zhao Long didn't even bother to deal with Yao Mei Li, a petty person. He looked at the bed that was occupied by eighty percent of the fat man who was snoring loudly and realized it was impossible for him to sleep there. Looking around, Zhao Long also pried off the remaining ceramic tiles on the floor. With his current strength, he could easily do so with just one hand. For some that were stuck too tightly, Zhao Long simply punched them to shatter.

  Zhao Long's boxing power is the explosive punch in the cannon fist, the fist looks like it stops after hitting the top, but the power explodes inside. It's just that wanting to burst out that second strength again is not easy, because it requires instantly condensing the vibration of the body's muscles and bones, forming a second transmission of force, which is still quite difficult.

  Zhao Long casually opened his computer after tidying up the room a bit.

  "Old Shi, how's the fire in my left arm?" While opening the computer and browsing through the news, I was thinking of Old Shi.

  "The spark of fire in your left arm is very weak, after all, the amount of fire energy contained in that kind of stone is not much. This can be done, this can be done... If you can get dozens of such stones, you can now consider using fire energy to refine your body." At this time, Zhao Long was watching the news and saw a report about rubies. Since they were discussing this topic, he opened it up and immediately made a discovery.

  The world's largest ruby: Carmen Lucia, it weighs 23.1 carats, is an unparalleled gemstone, Carmen Lucia originated in Myanmar in the 1930s and later wandered around Europe before being acquired by a US gem collector in the 1980s.

  The ruby symbolizes love, and this one-of-a-kind ruby also contains a romantic love story. In 2004, American millionaire Peter Buck donated it to the Smithsonian Museum in the name of his wife Carmen Lucia Buck.

  The picture above is about the world's largest ruby Carmen Lucia, and there are some introductions below.

  Looking at the picture of Carmen Lucia on the screen, listening to Lao Shi's words, Zhao Long had a desire to grab Lao Shi and beat him up. Before, he would often ask for tons of gold, now even this world's largest ruby was asked for dozens of pieces at the mouth.

  "Still, there are dozens more. Take a look at this thing, the world's largest ruby. What is meant by 'the world's largest' is that even if it's not actually the largest, it's still top-notch. This thing is harder to come by than several tons of gold, and it's hard to say whether there are even a few dozen like it in the entire world." Zhao Long only now felt how lucky he was to be able to cultivate his body with golden energy, compared to this ruby, gold was cheap.

  "Bullshit, this broken thing is nothing, even a hundred of them put together aren't worth one Fire Essence Stone. The ones that are actually useful for cultivation have all been controlled by others. Only a great and awesome teacher like me can help you think of using the lowest-level materials for cultivation. Remember this, just because you don't know something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Ignorance is truly terrifying!!!” Old Man Lost Training scolded, and finally added a sentence that made Zhao Long want to vomit blood...

  Zhao Long looked at his own left arm, and indeed, if his own left arm could regenerate, then what couldn't be possible? Thinking about the words Lao Shi had said, it was clear that there were still many unknown existences in this world.

  Light is a martial artist, master, grandmaster, and pre-heavenly grandmaster who has never appeared in the ordinary world, only with some records and occasional mentions. As for that alchemy, I estimate it will all be regarded as mythological legends. And even if one reaches the level of alchemy, it's just reaching the fifth turn of the "Nine Turns Five Elements Body Refining Technique".

  Thinking of this, Carmen Luciana doesn't seem as unattainable as before. Thinking about it, I was still working at Rui Chi not long ago, but now I can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy gold, absorb the aura of gold and turn it into useless scrap metal.

  "What Lao Shi said is right, I really have too much to learn. Now what should I do with the flame in my left arm?" After going through all this, there has been a slight change in mindset.

  The old man nodded in satisfaction: "Understood, that's good. As for this flame energy, it's basically useless and can't even help with body refinement. On the contrary, it will affect your current use of golden energy to refine your body. Its effect is just barely enough to help that nagging woman remove the cold air from one leg, otherwise you'd better find a suitable place to release it."

  "Ah, you didn't say so earlier. The five elements of energy absorbed can actually be released." Zhao Long stood up immediately upon hearing this. If he had known it could be released, he wouldn't have let his left arm absorb it in the first place. At this moment, his left arm had a faint warm feeling, and although his left arm felt comfortable, Zhao Long was worried.

  "A teacher's role is to impart knowledge, teach skills and resolve doubts. I will naturally teach you what you need to know, but if you don't think for yourself and have no doubts, then there won't be much room for growth. Everything I've said to you so far has been a waste of words - the great things I do are always right, so you don't need to question them. Just remember to use your brain more often in the future." It's probably because Zhao Long is used to being casual with Lao Shi that he always ends up getting scolded when Lao Shi trains him.

  "You only know a little now, when you can cultivate two different five elements at the same time, you will understand that many things are not as simple as you think. Your current power is just beginning, to become stronger, you need to constantly absorb different five elements. When your first transformation is complete, you will find that you have truly changed, compared to ordinary people..."

  "Mom... slow down..." At this time, the courtyard door opened, and a faint voice came in.

  "It's nothing... it's much better now, if this were to happen in our hometown, my old cold legs wouldn't be able to walk at all." Then came Li Shu's voice, her tone somewhat tired and clearly also suffering from leg pain.

  Hearing that Li Shu and the others had returned, Zhao Long thought of his conversation with Lao Shi earlier and couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart. He got up and walked out.

  "Aunt Li, are you okay? Please sit down first." Zhao Long quickly went out and helped Li Youyou support Aunt Li to sit down.

  "It's nothing... it's nothing..." Although there were some beads of sweat on Aunt Li's forehead, she looked very happy.

  "Hmph... serves them right..." At this time, Yao Meili, who was on the second floor, glared down and said with a tone of gloating.

  "If you have something to say, come out and say it. Don't be so timid that you don't even dare to speak up. Let me tell you, my legs ache, not my mouth. Don't make yourself uncomfortable, I can take you down with just a few words while sitting here." Li Shu also heard this and immediately counterattacked.

  "I'm too lazy to care about you guys." Yao Meili was really scared of Li Shu, and she still hadn't recovered from the glare Zhao Long gave her earlier, so she turned around and went straight into the house.

  "Aunt Li, I know a way to relieve your leg pain a bit. Which leg hurts more?" Zhao Long said, pressing his left hand on Aunt Li's knee.

  Zhao Long's hand emitted a warm energy, and as soon as he pressed it on her back, Aunt Li immediately felt much more comfortable.

  "My right leg is worse, the left one is a bit better. The right leg is more serious." Aunt Li tapped her right leg with her hand: "It's been like this for years since I've been away from home, if I were at my hometown, the pain would be so bad that I wouldn't even be able to get out of bed."

  Zhao Long pinched the silk that had absorbed the fire energy from the ruby with his left hand on Li Shu's knee for a while, allowing the fire energy to gradually penetrate into Li Shu's leg. Although there wasn't much of it originally, after being absorbed by his left arm for so long, what was left was even less, but it was still the fire energy from the five elements. The cold energy that had accumulated in Li Shu's legs for many years was driven out by this flow of fire energy.

  Aunt Li suddenly felt a warmth in her knee, followed by a coolness, as if the coolness was escaping from her own leg. Gradually, her entire leg became warm and the pain had disappeared.

  "It doesn't hurt anymore, it really doesn't hurt! Zhao, how did you do it? It's too amazing! Even when I take painkillers, they don't work this well. And my leg feels so much lighter now. Zhao, you must know some kind of qigong or acupuncture points, right? Earlier, I felt a warm sensation in my leg." Li Aunt moved her right leg, hardly believing it.

  Zhaolong's left arm still had a very weak thread of fire energy, and he also pressed Li Shu's left leg twice. Listening to Li Shu's sighs, he smiled but didn't speak.

  "Mom, is it really okay?" Li Youyou was also surprised. Auntie Li had this illness since she could remember, and seeing her nodding, she looked at Zhao Long with gratitude: "Brother Zhao..."

  "Haha……" Zhao Long had already fully recovered, his left arm back to normal, and the fire energy from the red gemstone was completely depleted. He waved his hand with a smile: "If you're going to be so polite, then don't call me Big Brother Zhao anymore. I don't know any medical skills, nor do I understand qigong; it's just an old senior who taught me this method."

  "Hmm." Upon hearing Zhao Long say this, Li Youyou nodded happily and gratefully.

  Aunt Li looked at her and didn't ask anything else, but again expressed her gratitude for a long time before changing the subject to Paozi. Zhao Long also asked about Yoyo, recently Ma Xiaoru hadn't contacted her again, and Lei Xiangyu hadn't appeared either, but Zhao Long still reminded Yoyo to be careful. Although he had only been in contact with Lei Xiangyu once, Zhao Long could feel that he was also the kind of person who wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal.

  Li Aunt was very happy that her old cold legs didn't hurt, and with the addition of Paozi's matter, they chatted until late at night before Li Aunt and Youyou returned to their room to rest. Zhao Long only left then, running tens of kilometers in one breath to arrive at a secluded beach with no people, slowly standing up straight, his legs and shoulders aligned, his left hand placed on his waist slowly clenching into a fist, exactly the starting pose of Cannon Fist.
