Vermillion Bird glanced at the furnace and then looked at Shen Yanxiao.
"You want me to put my flame in here?"
"Yeah."
Vermillion Bird’s small mouth quirked and said, "Why does it have to be so troublesome?!" After saying so, Vermillion Bird immediately lit a cluster of flame on the palm of his hand.
"Here, just use it!" Vermillion Bird directly lent his hand to Shen Yanxiao as a smelting furnace— pure natural, environmentally friendly and pollution-free!
"..." Shen Yanxiao looked at Vermillion Bird in silence.
Should she just use Vermillion Bird’s hand as a smelting furnace?
Just at the thought of burning a red metal on Vermilion Bird's white and tender hands, Shen Yanxiao felt that it was simply an inhumane thing to do.
"Don’t you want it?" Vermillion Bird did not notice Shen Yanxiao's entanglement at all. In terms of his resistance to fire as a fire Holy Beast, even if he drank hot molten iron like water, it would not cause him any damage whatsoever. It was just that the image was too cruel...
"I don't like to abuse children." The corner of Shen Yanxiao's mouth twitched slightly. She really thought that it was a very bloody and cruel picture!
"Ah?" Vermillion Bird frowned, wondering why such a sentence jumped out of Shen Yanxiao’s mouth all of a sudden.
"But if I put my flame in this thing, it will soon become an ordinary fire. Alchemy... I don't think you can use ordinary fire.” No matter how ignorant Vermillion Bird was, he also knew that the fire required for alchemy was very special.
"It will change?" For the first time, Shen Yanxiao understood that Vermilion Bird's flame could still change.
Vermillion Bird nodded his head.
"My flames are maintained by the fire elements inside my body. The difference between them and the ordinary flames comes from me. When it is out of my control for a long time, the fire elements in them will gradually disappear and they will become just ordinary flames. Without burning substances to rely on, they will soon extinguish."
Otherwise, with the intensity of his flame, if he let it out a little bit, wouldn't it all spread into a mountain of flames?
"Moreover... I don't think my flame can help you with alchemy." Although Vermillion Bird did not want to admit it, as a fire magical beast, he knew much more about flames than Shen Yanxiao. The kind of fire needed for alchemy required a very strong combustion power and activity. It could burn continuously without burning substances. Although the flames in his body met the requirements of alchemy, after all, it was the fire generated by a magical beast, which is different from the fire that really existed between heaven and earth.
For the first time, Vermilion Bird felt so honest that he gave up the good opportunity to "spend time alone" with Shen Yanxiao and very honestly told Shen Yanxiao the truth.
Shen Yanxiao was slightly stunned and the expression on her face couldn’t be any more sad.
She couldn’t use any ordinary smelting fire nor Vermillion Bird’s flame!
She couldn’t even achieve the most basic smelting, this damn alchemy was playing with her feelings!!!
"I have to talk to Momo An and Momo Ke..." Shen Yanxiao was already extremely depressed. Alchemy was different from any other skill she had ever learned in the past. It was as if it were born to reject her. But she refused to cooperate!
The high achiever encountered a difficult problem to overcome, 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 use the smelting fire to smelt the black iron, the two cute dwarves were obviously startled.
"That's impossible." Momo An muttered as he inspected Shen Yanxiao's furnace.
The furnace was very intact and the flame activity was also very abundant; according to reason, this should not happen.
