"Stop right there!" Mi Shuhua quickly waved his hand. "Any land with earth fire is mostly occupied by sects or cultivation families. It's not something we rogue cultivators can lay a hand on."0

Ordinary requests were one thing, but earth fire? That was truly beyond his reach.0

Seeing Luo Chen pout, Mi Shuhua chuckled and shook his head. "You, why think so far ahead? Top-grade pills can't be forced. As long as you can steadily refine mid-grade Jade Essence pills, you'll keep earning more and more. Worst case, I'll get you a mid-grade or even a top-grade alchemy furnace in the future."0

If high-level techniques couldn't be mastered, focusing on perfecting lower ones was the next best option? This old man was certainly shrewd.0

Luo Chen spread his hands, indicating he'd taken the advice to heart.0

Mi Shuhua's expression turned stern, his tone laced with caution as he said, "By the way, the reason I brought up Earth Fire Fiend was mainly to warn you. For cultivators who haven't reached Foundation Establishment, it's best not to mess too much with malevolent energy. You won't be able to handle it."0

"Huh? What do you mean?"0

"Malevolent energy is extremely destructive. If it accidentally enters your body, it can severely damage your dantian, meridians, and even the spirit power you've already refined. If you still want to live a few more years, stay away from that stuff."0

Luo Chen blinked. Was there really such a claim...0
