Chapter 111 Born in flames, grows longer than flames.
Faced with the blazing fire, Tianyou tried to rush in several times but failed. The high temperature generated by the violent burning of the big trees in the yard is not comparable to the firewood piles at the campfire party. With more than ten meters, the high temperature is already hard to move forward. The skin exposed to the air will have a violent burning sensation, and even the hairs begin to curl.
"Calm down." Looking at Tianyou, who was feeling a little out of control, Bai Qi pressed his shoulder and reminded him.
Tianyou looked at Bai Qi with a blank expression, and finally calmed down. Seeing that he was not so excited anymore, Bai Qi wanted to say something to comfort him, but Tianyou, who had calmed down, soon changed his expression again. Bai Qi was about to open his mouth but found that Tianyou had actually ran out.
Thinking that Tianyou couldn't stand the stimulation and was going to do something stupid, Bai Qi hurriedly followed him, but found that Tianyou had just wandered around the burning courtyard and returned to the courtyard.
The room arranged by Bai Qi for Tianyou is located in a separate courtyard, surrounded by a circle of brick and stone walls. Apart from the things in the courtyard, there are basically only a small number of flower beds outside, and the surroundings are relatively empty.
After observing the surrounding environment, Tianyou immediately said to Bai Qi: "Bai Shibo, I have a request."
"You said, I will definitely help you if you can do it." Bai Qi thought Tianyou was a little confused, so he planned to follow him first, at least calm his emotions first.
Tianyou didn't know Bai Qi's thoughts, and he immediately expressed his request after receiving a positive answer.
"What? You want me to evacuate all the people who put out the fire?"
Tianyou nodded affirmatively. "Yes, I hope you can withdraw all people outside the yard and sprinkle water on the yard wall and surrounding areas. Just make sure that the fire does not spread, and don't worry about the fire in this yard."
Bai Qi looked at Tianyou in confusion, trying to find out if this kid was stimulated and had a brain problem. However, after watching for a long time, he didn't seem to find any problem. He also felt that Tianyou's emotions had completely returned to normal, and his previous anxiety had completely disappeared. This huge contrast made Bai Qi very puzzled, but it was difficult to ask directly, for fear of stimulating him again.
After looking at the courtyard that had basically no rescue value, Bai Qi finally decided to follow Tianyou for the time being and arrange everyone outside the yard. Anyway, even if the fire here is extinguished now, the yard will be rebuilt entirely.
When the servants of the Bai Mansion heard that they had given up the courtyard, they thought that Bai Qi was worried about their safety, so they did not doubt anything. They just moved and retreated outside the courtyard.
"Everyone has gone out, let's go outside, too?" Bai Qi saw that Tianyou was still standing at the gate of the yard, and was afraid that something would happen to him, so he kindly reminded him.
Tianyou didn't move at all, but instead said to Bai Qi: "Bai Shibo, please don't let anyone around you get close to the yard."
Bai Qi looked at Tianyou in confusion, and then suddenly thought of something. He made a seal with one hand and drew a magic array in the air. Then, at the center, the magic array quickly shrank, as if it was stuck, and fixed on Bai Qi's fingertips. Bai Qi kept moving, and pressed the magic array that narrowed its fingertips to the size of his eyes on the center of his eyebrows.
After completing this series of actions, Bai Qi's closed eyes suddenly opened again after drawing the magic circle. At this time, his eyes were like two big light bulbs, emitting a cold white light, and even the flames in front could not cover the light.
Bai Qi's eyes, with two searchlights on his face swept into the fire, and then quickly locked his position. "I said, "Why did you suddenly leave the water?" Seeing the situation in the flames, Bai Qi finally felt relieved.
"Did you know it a long time ago?" Bai Qi turned his head and asked the doctor.
"If I had known it, I wouldn't have been so worried before." Tianyou said: "Bao Bai Shibo, can you tell what kind of monster Yueying's body is? When I found out, she was still a black egg. Once she hatched, she was now, and no body appeared at all."
Bai Qi shook his head and said, "The body of a monster needs to be based on its habits and characteristics, and then based on his understanding of the monster, you, the demon pet, have not fully demonstrated your own strength. If you want to know its body, it is possible unless she tells you herself or see it with your own eyes. But now it is at least certain that she must be a monster with fire attribute. Normal monsters will have different degrees of out-of-control demon power when they advance, so wild monsters will generally find a secluded place before they advance and wait quietly for advancement. Your demon pet is too small and doesn't understand these. A fire-type monster actually advances in the house. Poor my house!"
When Tianyou heard Bai Qi crying in the house, he immediately felt extremely embarrassed. He kindly invited himself to live at home and gave him one-on-one tutoring. As a result, he ordered his house after only one night. This was a bit unreasonable. "Uncle Shi...I..."
"Hahahaha, do you really think I care about these houses? I'm not as poor as you thought."
"Whether you care or not, the house suffered losses due to my demon pet, I should compensate you. This is the reason. When the fire is extinguished, you ask the butler to count the losses and tell me that I will pay the repair money."
"You kid, do I give you that money?"
"It's not a problem of being right, it's the truth. You give me guidance and let me stay. That's your kindness. I can accept it, but the house was burned because I burned it. This is my responsibility and I have to bear it."
Bai Qi saw that Tianyou was so determined, and after thinking about it, he stopped insisting. "Okay. I will let the butler know you when you want to, and it doesn't matter if you lack money for ten or eight years. I still have a life, and you will not be able to lose your debt."
"It shouldn't be enough for that time." Tianyou said: "The Ninth Princess owed me the gold she hasn't given me yet. Even if it's not enough to repair your yard, it shouldn't be much different."
The purchasing power of gold these days is quite strong. Ying Ying owes Tianyou enough money to build a yard. The houses in the royal city are expensive, and the land is expensive, and the construction cost is actually that way. Some wood and some labor really cost a lot. The real big head is the decorations in the room, those porcelains, calligraphy, etc., so it is difficult to price. Fortunately, this is the guest room, and there are not many decorations.
The wood in the yard rose up quickly and was extinguished quickly. When no one controlled the fire, the flames quickly burned everything they could. As the flames gradually became smaller, Bai Qi and Tianyou both discovered a phenomenon that they had not noticed before.
Before, because the fire was too big, I couldn't see the situation in the middle clearly. Now as the fire gradually weakened, a small vortex of flames gradually appeared. The flames in the entire fire field seemed to be pulled by this vortex, and the ones that were close were directly sucked into the vortex, while the ones that were far away obviously tilted towards the vortex. Under Tianyou's spiritual vision, you can see a large amount of red spiritual energy gathering wildly towards the center of the vortex.
"Is this... a mana channel?" Bai Qi looked at the red vortex in the field in surprise and was shocked.
This is not how the normal magic power channel is used, but is used by one or several cultivators with strength above the Dust Realm, connecting multiple cultivators to allow everyone to share their spiritual power, and through reasonable distribution, everyone's spiritual power can maximize their effectiveness.
However, although the mana channel usually transmits balanced mana between different practitioners, the essence of this magic is actually the remote transmission of spiritual energy. So, according to this theory, the mana channel can actually be locked on a certain person without having to be specifically locked. As long as there is a provider and absorber of spiritual energy, the mana channel can be established. As for whether the provider and the receiver are humans, it seems that it really has nothing to do with it.
There is a sea of fire around now, so a large amount of fire-type spiritual energy must be gathered in the yard. This high-concentration fire-type spiritual energy can become the provider of the spiritual energy of the mana channel, and the small demon buried in the flames in the center of the vortex must become the receiver. The spiritual energy in the yard is absorbed and gathered by the mana channel and then absorbed by the demon pet of Tianyou. This process continues, so the flow of spiritual energy has an effect similar to a vortex, sucking the surrounding flames into the central area continuously.
Tianyou was a little confused when he heard the mana channel, but the name was quite simple, and he could roughly understand its meaning even if he heard it for the first time. In short, Tianyou also discovered that Yueying was absorbing flames, and he saw it more clearly than Bai Qi. After all, Bai Qi relied on magic, and he could "see" the flow of spiritual energy.
"I'm lucky when I meet you." After realizing the meaning of the magic channel, Bai Qi suddenly said without hesitation and turned around and ran out, then called the butler and asked him to take someone to transport firewood.
"What? Firewood?" The butler was stunned when he heard such a weird order. Who heard that the house was on fire and did not put out the fire quickly, but instead asked for firewood?
"Yes, I just want firewood. Don't ask, go quickly."
Bai Qi said so, what else can the butler say? So a group of servants began to transport firewood here, but Bai Qi did not let them go into the yard, but piled them outside the yard gate.
Tianyou didn't know what Bai Qi was going out for before, but when he saw the firewood brought by a group of servants, he suddenly realized, so he quickly moved it inside.
Seeing Tianyou consciously start transporting firewood, Bai Qi nodded and said, "You guy is not too stupid."
Tianyou was busy moving firewood into it while asking Bai Qi: "Does all demon pets have to provide a large amount of spiritual energy in the same line when they advance?"
"That's not." Bai Qi said: "When monsters advance, they are like children growing up. If they eat well, they will definitely grow taller and stronger than their peers. If they keep eating grass roots and tree bark, they will be pale and thin, short and small, and even have body deformities. Monsters live in this world every day, and the naturally absorbed spiritual energy is enough to meet basic needs, so even if they do not provide additional spiritual energy, it will not affect their advancement. But just like the children who eat grass roots and tree bark every day, such monsters will definitely not grow too high in the future. On the contrary, if a large amount of spiritual energy is provided when it advances, the growth of the monsters will develop in the best way, and their future prospects are limitless.
You have lived in Qingyuan Mountain for many years and should have some understanding of the situation of wild monsters. Do there are many monsters that often fight each other in some places in the mountains?"
Tianyou nodded: "I have seen several similar places before."
"That's where the spirit is. The surrounding area must be highly enriched with one or several spiritual energy, so monsters who want to advance will fight for this place desperately, hoping to complete the advancement in this area. This is why you often find monsters fighting each other here."
"I said why are the monsters in the mountains all piles in piles? Some places are already crowded, but there are still a large number of monsters trying to squeeze in. They would rather fight with other monsters to the death than live in places without monsters. It turns out that they are all for the sake of spiritual energy."
Bai Qi suddenly added when he heard this: "In fact, people are the same. The major sects in the neutral zone are constantly conquering. In addition to the hills established by each sect a long time ago, there are still some scattered areas with undecided ownership. In these places, conflicts between sects often break out in order to seize control of these areas."
"These places are also places where spiritual energy is enriched?"
Bai Qi nodded. "That's right. Some of these places are blessed lands in the cave, with high spiritual energy. Cultivation can greatly increase the cultivation speed. If the concentration of spiritual energy in a certain place is high enough, it can even help the practitioner break through the shackles and complete the level improvement. Of course, the competition between these sects may not be blessed lands in the cave, some are intermittent spiritual vein explosion points, and some are growing areas of heaven and earth treasures. In short, they are places that are beneficial to cultivation."
"Then are there no blessings on the mountains of the major sects? Or are there many cultivators and not enough?"
"What is enough? What is not enough?" Bai Qi asked back: "The spiritual energy between heaven and earth is incalculable, but the total amount of spiritual energy in a land is always certain. The high concentration of spiritual energy in the Cave Heaven and Blessing Land is often because there is a suitable terrain near the spiritual vein, which blocks the spiritual energy within a certain range. However, the spiritual energy produced by the spiritual vein has a certain speed. If the absorption speed exceeds the speed of the spiritual vein, the concentration of spiritual energy in the Cave Heaven and Blessing Land will continue to decline. Although it will be not used for a period of time and the concentration will increase again, what should I do if I need to practice during this period?"
"I understand. This aura is like money. One ingot of silver per month can live, and one ingot of gold per month can live, but no one thinks that money is too much. If you can live a life of one 100 ingot of gold per month, then why should you live a life of one ingot of silver per month?"
"Well, that's the reason." Bai Qi said and brought the topic back. "Your demon pet looks like an extraordinary monster. Such a good foundation cannot be wasted. Every time you advance, you must find enough spiritual support for it and make sure that it can grow completely. With this demon's help, even if you have a low level of cultivation in the future, you don't have to be afraid of anyone."
"I've written it down and I'll take care of it in the future." Tianyou said, and then moved a large bundle of firewood from outside and threw it into the fire.
The fires around have basically been extinguished, and the fires that Tianyou just moved are still burning. Although these flames are far inferior to before, they are enough to support the absorption of the vortex. According to Bai Qi, this absorption process can be long or short. As long as it is not interrupted, the monsters will measure when they will complete the advancement by themselves. In the natural environment, monsters cannot see the continuous supply of spiritual energy, and they can often end the advancement quickly. After all, it is not safe in the wild, but since Tianyou's demon pet is artificially fed, there are no restrictions. Bai Mansion is safe enough, and Tianyou keeps adding firewood. The moon shadow in it does not feel the threat. There is a constant supply of spiritual energy outside for her to absorb, so naturally this process will not be terminated in advance.
According to Bai Qi, although the monster pets raised by the children of the Immortal Sect are slightly lower than those of wild monsters in terms of wildness and combat instinct, they are generally higher than those of monsters in wild environments in terms of growth. This is mainly due to the stable conditions of artificial breeding and the relatively sufficient supply of spiritual energy. After all, no matter how poor the children of the Immortal Sect can always find some extra spiritual energy supplies, which is better than the wild monsters completely absorbed by natural means.
Tianyou originally thought that Ying Ying owed her gold to pay Bai Qi's house, but she didn't expect Yueying to burn money so much. In the morning, the servants of Bai's mansion transported more than a dozen trucks of firewood and moved all the things that could be found nearby. This didn't cost a lot of money. The key was that Bai Qi saw that the absorption speed did not decrease at all, and it was speculated that the gap in the demand for spiritual energy was too large, and it might not be enough to rely on fire alone, so it was recommended that Tianyou use the demon pill to assist.
Tianyou, the demon elixir, had sold a lot of demon elixirs in the past, of course they were all low-level, but now they needed the corresponding attributes of demon elixirs, which means they had to be fire. Of course, Tianyou couldn't find it for a while, but fortunately, Bai Qi had it, and there were a lot of it.
As a general and a cultivator, Bai Qi naturally has some things to assist in cultivation. He has demon pills, and he has all five systems, so Tianyou is very generous to use them. But Tianyou cannot get them for nothing, so he has to pay in the end! Helplessly, the money for this house has not been paid back, but he owes more and more.
Bai Qi ordered people to get three demon pills in one breath, with different levels. The highest one was the intermediate-level Xuandemon demon pill, and the remaining two were the spiritual demon pills, one in the first-level and the other in the intermediate level.
Tianyou thought about it and couldn't bear to let the child get trapped in the wolf, so he simply threw the highest-level one in it first.
Under normal circumstances, demon pets cannot continuously exploit demon pills because of their limited absorption speed. If they eat too much, they will have the effect of spiritual energy anesthesia like last night, just like drinking too much. However, in the process of advancement, demon pills can be used unlimitedly. As long as they do not reach the limit of spiritual energy required for advancement, there will be no problem no matter how many times they come.
Tianyou threw out the highest-level one in one breath, thinking that it would be better than enough to waste some. As a result, like a meat bun hitting a dog, the demon pill instantly collapsed into a rich fire-type spiritual energy into the vortex, and then followed the vortex into Yueying's body, but the result was that the vortex had been for a long time and had no intention of stopping at all.
Bai Qi was also shocked now. Unexpectedly, a middle-level Xuan Demon demon's demon pill was not enough.
"Bai Shibo, this..."
"Twist both of your hands in and I'll have someone take them."
Anyway, there is no need to worry about debts, Tianyou gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and threw the two demon pills in his hand. Of course, it was still not enough.
The housekeeper was very fast and quickly sent a new demon pill. This time it was a wooden box. After opening it, you could see twelve neat grids, each grid with a fiery red demon pill.
"Bao Shiwang, this..." Tianyou really didn't dare to take action. He couldn't afford to sell this box of demon pills!
"It's okay, you just use it, I still have it if it's not enough."
Bai Qi was talking so generously, but Tianyou felt that his heart was bleeding. He trembled and took out the demon pills one by one and threw them into the flame vortex. Seeing the fiery red demon pills collapsed and disappeared in the flame vortex, Tianyou suddenly felt like he was burning money to play. He threw out three of them in one breath, and Tianyou was already sweating all over his forehead, and he didn't know whether it was hot or heartache.
Fortunately, Yueying was not a bottomless pit after all. When he threw out the sixth demon pill in the box, the flame vortex obviously began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye. Bai Qi quickly stopped Tianyou, for fear that his hands would tremble and throw another one in.
"It's almost done, change the firewood and let her absorb it naturally."
After wiping the sweat on his forehead, Tianyou put down the box and started adding firewood. The burning speed of the flames around him did not change much, but it can be seen that the vortex was shrinking and he was busy until lunch time. The vortex was basically gone, but Tianyou didn't dare to stop and could only continue adding firewood, but it didn't need to be so frequent.
In order to accompany him, Bai Qi simply asked someone to send all the lunch to the yard here. The two sat next to the fire and finished their lunch. Those who didn't know thought they were playing barbecue at home.
In the afternoon, Tianyou found that the spiritual energy had no longer decreased, so he stopped adding firewood. As the remaining firewood was burning, the flames began to get smaller and smaller. Just as the flames shrank to only one person high, the firewood pile suddenly moved, and with a thud, the big ashes and the unburned charcoal scattered all over the ground. Looking at the flames, a delicate and cute little loli was sitting up from the flames as if she had just woken up, and then she stretched her cute waist and blew up. Of course, if there were no burning ashes around her, she should have looked more adorable.
It seemed that she was a little confused just after waking up. The little loli sat in the fire, rubbed her eyes and looked around, and then found Tianyou. A cute smile immediately appeared on her red little face.
Tianyou wanted to respond to a smile when he saw this, but the next second his expression turned into extreme horror because the cute little loli was spreading her arms and flapping her wings behind her.
"Owner……"
