The heart of a musician is like the heart of a martial artist's Tao, it is the original intention and will, and cannot be shaken.

  The first time Lin Ming saw Qinzuo Ya, he felt an intangible aura of righteousness emanating from him, as if it came from his very heart, which was the true spirit of a qin player.

  And the second time I met Qinzhiya, although his appearance, voice and temperament were all fine, but he was missing only one thing - Qin Xin!

  "So that's how it is, the fake Qinzijia must have been impersonating him! What kind of disguise technique is this, to be so realistic? Whoever dared to impersonate Qinzijia must know that he has already left the Seventh Martial House, otherwise they wouldn't dare even with a hundred times more courage. Qinzijia's whereabouts are unpredictable and the United Business Association doesn't have the ability to investigate his movements. Unless it's someone from the higher-ups of the Seventh Martial House, like Ouyang Dihua! That fake Qinzijia might just be Ouyang Dihua himself, he probably learned some advanced disguise technique from the Seventh Valley Academy and fooled me!"

  "It seems that even the Seven Mysteries Order is fake, and as for the quota to go to Tianchi Mountain in Huo Luo Country, it was also fabricated by Ouyang Yuxiu."

  Lin Ming took out the "Seven Mysteries Order" from the Xumi Ring, and let out a bitter laugh. He had only seen the Seven Mysteries Order once before, and that was just a glimpse, how could he tell what was real or fake?

  Lin Ming was clearing his meridians when he suddenly felt a shock in his chest, his heart racing wildly for a few beats, and a surge of heat flowed through his blood vessels to all parts of his body.

  "Hmm, Fire Spirit?"

  Lin Ming looked inward at his body and found that the fire essence, which had been dormant in the Evil God's seed, was suddenly excited, jumping up and down, unable to calm down for even a moment.

  "What is this guy doing?" Lin Ming was puzzled. Originally, Lei Ling was more active, and Huo Jing was mostly calm and stable, but today he was so abnormal. Thinking back, when he released the Thunderfire Kill earlier, Huo Jing became abnormally excited, and the flames that burst out seemed to be much stronger than usual!

  Could it be... Crimson Lotus Blaze!

  Lin Ming's mind flashed with inspiration.

  It's settled! He was foolish, previously thinking that since Huo Jing could absorb the fire of lava, he should be able to absorb other forms of flames. Just now, when he encountered the red lotus flame released by Huo Gong, he didn't think of it.

  Now all the pyrotechnicians are dead, how can they absorb...

  "The fire should not be excited randomly, it must have found something meaningful..."

  Lin Ming realized something in his heart and connected his soul force to Huo Gong's corpse.

  Huǒ gōng yǐ sǐ, líng hún xiāo sàn. Suǒ yǐ lín míng de líng hún lì kě yǐ cháng qū zhí rù. Jiāng tā de shī tǐ zhěng gè tàn chá le gè biàn.

  Translation:

  The Fire Worker is dead, his soul has dissipated. So Lin Ming's Soul Force can penetrate deeply. He thoroughly examined his entire corpse.

  "Here!"

  Lin Ming drew out a dagger and stabbed it into Huo Gong's right forearm, then pulled it out.

  A red bead burning with flames immediately jumped out.

  Although this pearl is buried in the flesh and blood of a craftsman, it does not stick with blood.

  The fire bead appeared and flew outwards, but was trapped by Lin Ming using his true yuan.

  The fire bead entered his hand, and the fire essence in Lin Ming's Evil God Seed grew even more excited, apparently eager to swallow it up.

  "Could this also be a fire essence?"

  Lin Ming looked at the bead and only then did he discover that there were exquisite lotus flower carvings on the fire bead, apparently this lotus was what was known as the Red Lotus.

  "No, this is not a fire spirit, it's a fake fire spirit."

  It's extremely difficult for the fire essence to take shape. The fire essence in Lin Ming's body was formed by relying on the power of the evil god, a heaven-defying secret technique. It's even more impossible to find natural fire essence in nature.

  Many alchemists and pill makers spend their entire lives without finding a single Fire Essence.

  Huǒgōng's cultivation is still below the Post-Heavenly realm, and with such a level of cultivation, he wants to possess the Fire Essence? Unless he's extremely lucky.

  However, as an alchemist, Huo Gong must also have the ability to control fire.

  He occasionally obtained a strand of Red Lotus Demon Flame, although the Red Lotus Demon Flame was a high-grade flame, but flames were still flames and could not be like fire spirits that lived forever, they would all slowly disappear over time.

  To make it immortal, one must constantly refine it.

  Huǒ gōng spent a great deal of effort, collecting various flame essences and fire attributes to refine and solidify this strand of Red Lotus Demon Flame. During this time, he even violated the sect's rules in order to seize a material, and had no choice but to flee from Qī Xuán Gǔ.

  A strand of high-quality flame, after various refinements, will become what is known as a pseudo-flame spirit, or an artificial flame spirit.

  This pseudo-fire spirit can exist for hundreds of years, and during this period, it must continue to be smelted with materials to maintain its power.

  The pseudo fire essence is far inferior to the real fire essence.

  If it's really the Red Lotus Flame Spirit, the flames released are all Red Lotus Flames. Take a strand of it and add it to many rare fire attribute materials, and you can cultivate a pseudo flame spirit!

  And the pseudo-fire essence released by the Red Lotus Demon Flame is actually not the Red Lotus Demon Flame at all, but just a bit stronger than ordinary flames. Otherwise, with Lin Ming's current strength in the Refining Body stage, how could he resist it?

  "Although it's a pseudo-fire essence, it also contains various rare and precious fire attribute materials and the essence of many flames. It's absolutely a great tonic. This dead guy must have paid a huge price to cultivate this pseudo-fire essence, but now he's benefited me instead. I'd be ungrateful if I didn't accept it."

  Lin Ming didn't hesitate and directly absorbed the pseudo-fire essence with the red lotus pattern.

  The pseudo-fire essence was absorbed into Lin Ming's heart and immediately subdued by the ferocious evil god seed.

  Right after that, a small fire spirit the size of Mars from the evil god's seeds pounced over like a furious kitten, it had been eager for a long time.

  "Pffft!"

  The small flame essence had merged into the crimson lotus fire bead that was hundreds and thousands of times larger than it.

  The pseudo-fire essence shook violently, the flames on its body flickering bright and dim, as if it was struggling fiercely, but no matter how hard it struggled, it was ultimately in vain.

  The process lasted for half an incense stick, and the pseudo-fire essence gradually withered away, shrinking smaller and smaller until it was all absorbed into Xiaobu's body.

  And this little spark of fire had also grown a bit bigger, originally it was only the size of a star, now it's barely as big as a sesame seed.

  This left Lin Ming speechless.

  Don't look at this small red lotus fire bead, but the fire attribute energy contained in it is absolutely much more than the lava fire he absorbed in the lava cave before, and it's also much purer.

  After all, it is a semi-postnatal martial artist, cultivated with decades of accumulated materials and flame essence.

  But after being absorbed by Xiaobudian Huojing, it only grew a little bit. It seems that cultivating its growth will require a lot of effort.

  Of course, if Xiao Buzhi's fire essence really grows up, its power will also be terribly frightening.

  High-quality flame essence, such as the flame essence of Hong Lian Yao Yan, is something that even legendary innate experts dare not hope for!

  Once this fire spirit appears in the world, it will inevitably stir up a storm of blood and stench.

  Lin Ming's mind wandered at the thought, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited. If he could obtain the fire essence of Hong Lian You Yan and let Xiao Bu Tong absorb it, what would happen?

  Get some more unusual thunder spirits, such as Tianxian Shenlei or Bixie Zidi's thunder spirit, and let Xiaobudian absorb them. What will happen then?

  When the time comes, use Leihuo to kill. What level will its power reach?

  Lin Ming thought about it and couldn't help but get excited, probably even the top-level powerful beings would be killed in an instant!

  Lin Mingzheng thought for a moment and glanced at the long knife inserted in front of him, which was the firework's weapon.

  Lin Ming pulled out the knife and took a look. The blade was as white as snow, with a cold light flashing freely!

  "Good sword!"

  Lin Ming couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, this was indeed a top-grade treasure of the human rank, the accumulation of a large sect, truly terrifying.

  "This guy is really filthy rich."

  Lin Ming didn't hesitate and directly put the knife into his Mustard Seed Ring, then his gaze shifted to Huo Gong's Mustard Seed Ring, and with one swift motion, he snatched it off.

  Killing people is not worth goods. It's all in vain.

  "Hmm? Human rank middle grade Susano'o?"

  Lin Ming was overjoyed, the space inside this ring was five or six times larger than his Human Stage lower-grade Mustard Seed Ring, and it was even more stable, enough to exist for seven or eight hundred years.

  This thing is very practical for Lin Ming.

  As his family grew bigger and bigger, Lin Ming's current Mustard Seed Ring had become somewhat small.

  Because the small world of Senyum is incompatible, one Senyum ring cannot be put down in another Senyum ring. So if there are multiple Senyum rings, they can only be worn on the hand, which is not very convenient.

  Lin Ming sank his Soul Force into the Xumi Ring, and with a casual sweep, he suddenly inhaled a mouthful of cool air. Good fellow, there were actually dozens of precious artifacts inside.

  Most of them are lower-grade human artifacts, and two are mid-grade human artifacts.

  Look at those inferior treasures, they are all brand new and have no inscriptions.

  Those two middle-grade treasures were already used.

  "Right, this guy is a Refiner, apart from Refiners and Alchemists, ordinary people wouldn't go to such great lengths to cultivate a pseudo-flame spirit."

  "There are thirty pieces of lower-grade treasure equipment in total, all brand new, obviously made by him. As for mid-grade treasure equipment, he probably can't make them."

  Generally speaking, a postnatal martial artist is needed to forge a middle-grade treasure.

  The top-grade treasures can only be crafted by innate masters, which is why they are extremely expensive.

  Lin Ming continued to search and found that apart from the treasure, there were also several tens of thousands of taels of gold notes and a heavy bag of true yuan stones.

  Taking them out for a look, they were all pure and genuine yuan stones worth one thousand two gold, roughly counting, there were more than 100 pieces.

  "Refiners really make a lot of money." Lin Ming was overjoyed, these true yuan stones would last him for a long time. "The treasures he refines must have all been sold for money to exchange for true yuan stones and other things."

  Of course, the Alchemist may have a lot of money and spend it quickly, such as buying various alchemy materials, and also refining pseudo-fire essence, which is not a small expense.

  Apart from these precious artifacts and the True Origin Stone, there is also a jade slip that records the method of cultivating merit, as well as some fire-attribute materials. These materials are obviously used to cultivate the Pseudo-Fire Essence.

  Lin Ming unceremoniously absorbed all the fire elements in the material, turning them into nutrients for the Evil God Fire Essence.

  As for Yu Jian, he took a look and didn't show much interest. A mid-grade skill from the Human Stage, of course, if sold, would also bring in a substantial income.

  Lin Ming took stock of his most precious items: the Heaven Rank top-grade artifact sword and the Mustard Seed Ring itself.

  Put this Su Mei ring close to your body, Lin Ming's true yuan poured into the fire essence in his body, preparing for a free cremation by Huo Gong. However, when the flames burst out of Lin Ming's hands for an instant, Lin Ming exclaimed "huh" in surprise.
