Chapter 406 – Begging For A Job
Li Guanqi raised his hand, and the violent flames became gentle.
The alchemists were seasoned and experienced, yet none of them had ever stood so close to heavenly fire. Its earlier outburst had stunned them, and some even felt a stab of envy. Luckily, they kept their heads, and none showed a hint of greed. Had anyone done so, Li Guanqi wouldn’t have hesitated to end their lives, alchemists or not.
Under his control, the flames became tamer, though only in a relative sense.
The alchemists brought out their finest cauldrons, but within a single breath, two more exploded from the heat.
With no choice, Sun Miao took out his precious cauldron. After a long stretch of adjusting to the fire, they steadied their minds and began refining pills.
Alchemists were rare, yet twelve of them were now working side by side. Even Lu Kangnian couldn’t help but be in awe.
“What a sight... If only they were our sect’s alchemists.”
Li Guanqi shrugged. “Pick a peak, and I’ll leave a fire seed. You can keep it alive with spirit qi. A single heavenly fire pit will draw in alchemists like bees to nectar. You could build pill workshops around it and charge people for using them.”
Lu Kangnian shook his head. “No.”
“Worried you’ll expose my abilities?” Li Guanqi asked.
“Yes. It wouldn’t be worth the risk.”
“Sect Master, you don’t need to worry about that. The fact that I have a heavenly flame will never remain a secret. Anyone with sharp eyes will figure it out,” Li Guanqi said.
