Vermilion Bird looked at the furnace and then at Shen Yanxiao.
“You want me to put my flames in there?”
“Yes.”
Vermilion Bird pursed his lips and said, “Do you need to go through so much trouble?!” After saying that, Vermilion Bird immediately ignited a cluster of flames in his palm.
“Use it like this!” Vermilion Bird directly lent his hand to Shen Yanxiao as a furnace. It was natural, environmentally friendly, and pollution-free!
“…” Shen Yanxiao looked at Vermilion Bird speechlessly.
Should she use Vermilion Bird’s hand as a furnace?
Just the thought of burning red metal on Vermilion Bird’s fair and tender hand made Shen Yanxiao feel that she was being inhumane!
“You don’t need it?” Vermilion Bird did not notice Shen Yanxiao’s inner struggle. With his resistance to fire, even if he drank hot molten iron, it would not cause him any injury. However, that scene was just too cruel…
“I don’t want to abuse children.” Shen Yanxiao’s lips twitched. Just thinking about it made her feel that the scene was too bloody and cruel!
“Ah?” Vermilion Bird frowned. He did not understand why Shen Yanxiao would suddenly say that.
“But if I put my flame in this thing, it will soon become an ordinary fire. Alchemy… I don’t think ordinary fire will do.” No matter how ignorant Vermilion Bird was, there were specific requirements that flames needed to have to be used for alchemy.
“It can change?” This was the first time Shen Yanxiao knew that Vermilion Bird’s flames could change.
Vermilion Bird nodded.
“The flames on my body are maintained by the fire elements in my body. The difference between them and ordinary flames comes from me. However, after leaving my control for a long time, the fire elements in them will gradually disappear and become ordinary flames. Without fire elements, they will extinguish very soon.”
Otherwise, with the intensity of his flames, wouldn’t it spread into a mountain of flames if he released it slightly?
“Moreover… I don’t think my flames can help you with alchemy.” Even though Vermilion Bird did not want to admit it, as a fire-elemental magical beast, he knew much more about flames than Shen Yanxiao. The fire needed for alchemy required extremely strong combustion power and it to be long-lasting. It must burn continuously without burning any tinder. Even though the flames in his body met the requirements for alchemy, it was still a flame produced by a magical beast. It was different from the fire that truly existed between heaven and earth.
For the first time, Vermilion Bird felt that he was so honest that he gave up the good opportunity to be “alone” with Shen Yanxiao and honestly told her the truth.
Shen Yanxiao was stunned. The expression on her face could not be any more miserable.
She could not use the smelting fire, nor could she use Vermilion Bird’s flames!
She could not even achieve the most basic smelting process, let alone alchemy!!!
“I have to talk to Momo An and Momo Ke…” Shen Yanxiao was already extremely depressed. Alchemy was different from any skill she had learned in the past. It was as if alchemy was born to reject her!
The top student had encountered a difficult problem. It was simply heartbreaking!
Momo An and Momo Ke were soon carried over by Shen Yanxiao. When they heard Shen Yanxiao say that she could not smelt black iron with smelting fire, the two cute dwarves were obviously shocked.
“This is impossible.” Momo An muttered as he checked Shen Yanxiao’s furnace.
The furnace was very intact, and the flames were also very active. Logically speaking, such a situation should not have happened.
