We can witness how others will fight for it! I'm sure they'll be like hyenas fighting over a piece of meat."
Their voices gradually faded in the distance as the two drifted away toward Ganges Auction House.
Austin's interest peaked the moment he heard the words Unearthly Fire.
In the Elixir Foundation, there was an explanation about the Unearthly Fire.
Generally, the fire of pill refiner was refined using their own vital energy.
The higher and stronger the cultivation base and vital energy of a pill refiner, the better quality and level of fire one would be able to produce. This would then produce a more effective pill.
However, besides the fire which pill refiners enhance by vital energy, there was a particular fire which is more powerful, and that was Unearthly Fire! The skill that pill refiners do with the use of the Unearthly Fire to refine pills was called Borrowing Fire.
The reason behind the name was quite literal actually. Unearthly Fire didn't come from something inside, and it had nothing to do with vital energy. It was the kind of fire created outside. Hence, it came to be known as Borrowing Fire.
While only the fire refined by vital energy could be considered as Refining Fire.
In this vast world, Unearthly Fire was created from fallen meteorites or lava that have been roasted for thousands of years and even more.
Compared to ordinary fire refined by vital energy, Unearthly Fire was way more powerful. Not only can it refine pills but also increase their effectiveness! But, obtaining such fire is quite challenging. They are usually hidden in some remote and dangerous area. Even if you were lucky enough to get it, you would still have to face the huge burden of making it as your own.
Many pill refiners would spend a lifetime searching for Unearthly Fire but would end up empty-handed. Because it was extremely hard to control the Unearthly Fire. One necessary step for a pill refiner to control Unearthly Fire was to insert the Unearthly Fire into their body and have it burn inside. Easy enough? Well wait, here's the catch. Unearthly Fire was known for being violent and destructive. Even the well-known solid Magic Golden Drill couldn't resist it, let alone the fragile human body.
It would only take an instant to burn an ordinary human body into ashes. Like paper catching fire.
So Borrowing Fire was definitely dangerous! Many pill refiners have died trying to achieve it. Only a few pill refiners were able to refine and cultivate Unearthly Fire by sheer luck.
All of them were geniuses and elites after all. They were the cream of the crop. So it was not a surprise that those pill refiners who obtained Unearthly Fire were considered the most promising and have so much potential.
So as hard as Borrowing Fire was, countless pill refiners still risked their lives chasing it, like a moth darting into the flame. They would do everything in their power just to obtain it.
Once they have succeeded, they would immediately become famous and have a bright future ahead. But if they lost, it would only mean death for them.
It was quite understandable that all the pill refiners hold complicated feelings for Unearthly Fire, they fear it but they still seek it.
That was the information that Austin got from the Elixir Foundation.
At that moment, Austin's desire had been sparked up because of the conversation he had just overheard. Licking his lip gently, Austin's eyes gazed longingly on the direction of Ganges Auction House.
