Chapter 963 The Legend of Fixing the Fire, Passionate Grasslands
On the grassland.
Ye Kang traveled with several members of the Liejun tribe.
These centaurs were all extremely robust, each over two meters tall, with bulging muscles, and looked even more majestic in the sunlight.
However, they were clearly very nervous in front of Ye Kang, after all, Ye Kang's cultivation level was undeniable, and they could not afford to be arrogant.
Ye Kang then asked with a smile, "Gentlemen, what exactly is this Fire-Stabilizing Pearl?"
Several members of the Liejun clan exchanged glances, and one of them said, "Senior, we have never seen the Fire-Stabilizing Pearl either, but we have heard from the elders of our clan that this pearl is an innate spiritual treasure, extremely extraordinary. Holding the Fire-Stabilizing Pearl can resist all kinds of fire, and even the legendary spiritual fire of heaven and earth cannot get close to it and will be restrained."
Another person chimed in, "These are just rumors. The actual effects are probably not that powerful. Besides, this bead has never appeared in the world before, so we know very little about it."
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang nodded, his curiosity growing even stronger.
He himself possessed a celestial fire, but he didn't know if the Fire-Stabilizing Pearl could withstand its scorching heat.
It's a pity. If he really had this treasure, he would be very interested. After all, with this treasure, he would have a powerful weapon when he encountered martial artists who had achieved something in fire control.
Fortunately, I didn't actually come for this item.
Ye Kang said quietly, "Such a precious treasure, surely others have come here to search for it before?"
A centaur nodded and said, "Indeed, there are a few. The most recent one was a powerful figure from the Fire Spirit Tribe thirty years ago. He was born with extremely strong fire talent and wanted to test his skills after hearing about the power of the Fire-Stabilizing Pearl. However, he stayed here for several months and tried to search for it several times, but all his efforts were in vain."
"It seems we really are not destined to have this treasure, but being able to witness the vastness of this grassland is still a worthwhile trip."
Several members of the Liejun tribe nodded in agreement, inwardly complaining, "What's so interesting about this grassland? We've been here every day and are already tired of it."
Ye Kang didn't say much, and together with Ye Meijue, they admired the red glow on the horizon.
As the sun rose and set, and the evening glow faded, Chief Liejun finally came running over, looking refreshed.
He laughed heartily and said, "Fellow Daoist, please forgive me for being late!"
"Not at all. It was I who failed to explain the effects of the Storm Brew clearly, which put the clan leader in a difficult position."
"You're mistaken! Fellow Daoist's wine is simply heavenly brew! I've drunk countless cups of wine, but this is the first time I've ever enjoyed it so much!"
Chief Liejun beamed with joy, his brows radiating the happiness of an old tree blossoming.
Because of the turmoil that just happened, he displayed great prowess, which greatly boosted his confidence.
Therefore, he immediately said urgently, "Fellow Daoist, please stay in my Liejun tribe for a few more days!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Meijue's expression grew even stranger. Why were these men so friendly after drinking that wine? Was it really necessary?
After all, the Night Maidens are all women, so she doesn't really understand men.
Ye Kang, however, took the opposite approach, revealing a troubled expression: "I naturally appreciate the clan leader's hospitality, but having heard that the Fire-Stabilizing Pearl doesn't exist, I have no reason to stay here any longer..."
"Not so! Although we don't have the Fire-Stabilizing Pearl, no one can prove that it doesn't exist! Fellow Daoist, please stay here. You can look for it yourself. Once you find it, the Fire-Stabilizing Pearl is yours!"
Chief Liejun relinquished ownership of the Fire-Stabilizing Pearl without hesitation. The reason was simple: he knew that no one could find the Fire-Stabilizing Pearl. They had searched for it countless times before. If such a thing really existed, would it even be a human's turn?
The reason for saying this was simply to keep Ye Kang with me so that I could talk to him more about the business deal of Fengbo.
Chief Liejun has decided that this wine must be supplied for a long time! I'm sure the people of the tribe will be very happy.
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang immediately showed a look of admiration: "The clan leader is straightforward and his magnanimity is truly admirable. In that case, we will stay here for a few more days."
"It's a deal! But what if some trouble arises...?"
“What’s so difficult about that? I still have a hundred catties left, so I’ll give them to the clan chief. As for how to distribute them, that’s all up to the clan chief.”
"One hundred catties? Isn't that a bit too little? We have other treasures that we can trade for more of, so you don't need to send any."
Chief Liejun was truly in a dilemma. A mere hundred catties wasn't even enough for him to drink, let alone for the tribespeople.
Ye Kang said helplessly, "It's not that I'm unwilling, but this wine is quite difficult to brew and takes time. This is all I have on me right now."
"I was being presumptuous, fellow Daoist. Please forgive me. Come to my home quickly, let's have a good drink today!"
Chief Liejun knew that this matter could not be rushed and had to be dealt with gradually, so he stopped talking and instead showed his enthusiasm.
For the alien tribes of Wuzhou, the level of cultivation does not change their character, and they have no airs of seniority whatsoever.
The entire clan, regardless of cultivation level or strength, was treated equally. Everyone was happy and harmonious, singing and dancing around the bonfire.
As guests, Ye Kang and Ye Meijue could simply drink along without having to dance, which would also be quite enjoyable.
After a night of feasting, Ye Kang awoke in a huge grassland tent.
He hadn't slept for a long time. At his level of cultivation, sleep was a complete waste of time, and not sleeping wouldn't have any effect.
But he still enjoyed the comfort, so he took advantage of last night's banquet to get a long-awaited nap.
Upon waking, he fell into deep thought.
The Fire-Stabilizing Pearl is probably gone, but we still need to find the Desolate Dragon Blood Cauldron left behind by Emperor Wu.
However, this matter was too secretive and too long ago, so nowadays, it is likely that no one in the Liejun tribe knows about it anymore.
The exact location is impossible to pinpoint; it's like searching for a needle in a haystack.
As Ye Kang pondered, a guess began to form in his mind.
"Could this be one of the two things Emperor Huai mentioned?"
Emperor Huai once said that Ye Kang had at least two things he needed to ask him, so it was only possible that he was asking for his help.
As for the Desolate Dragon Blood Cauldron, others may not know, but Emperor Huai certainly does.
"It seems that Emperor Huai is indeed the wisest man of all time, seeing through my secrets at a glance. However, I didn't just rely on my own efforts to find out."
Ye Kang curled his lips into a smile. He didn't intend to directly ask Emperor Huai for help. Unless absolutely necessary, he wanted to avoid getting involved in any karma.
As Ye Kang was thinking, a figure appeared in front of him.
He looked like an eleven or twelve-year-old child, his face less chubby and more mature, but his expression was still so innocent and calm.
It was the Carp God.
As Ye Kang's lucky charm, the Carp God has not left the Jade Realm for a long time.
The reason is simple: the Carp God has been in seclusion for some time, and with the support of Ye Kang's treasures, he has become a demon emperor.
The carp god, now a bit older, tilted his head and looked at Ye Kang, asking, "Where does the carp god say this is?"
