Chapter 105 Three Types of True Fire
The beautiful maid Feng'er looked at Yu Que with a smile, her eyes were as charming as silk, and she said in a soft voice:

"Young Master, are you going to perform alchemy in your mansion tonight? Last time you came, you boasted about your alchemy skills. I wonder if Feng'er is lucky enough to see it today."

She moved her body gracefully, bowed to Yu Que, and said tenderly, "Let me help you, young master."

The woman's eyes were full of curiosity.

Part of it was because she wanted to see Yu Que's craftsmanship, and the other part was because she had also heard about what happened on the sky burial platform and had guessed that Yu Que wanted to refine the little snake crow into a family god, so she wanted to see what this thing looked like.

After all, she was not a county student and had no qualifications to step onto the sky burial platform.

Yu Que, who had just finished cooking, ignored the woman's seductive looks. He bowed, quickly wrapped up the package, carried the bottles and jars, and walked out of the mansion.

"I will not stay at the mansion tonight. If you ask me where I have been when I come back, I will tell you that I went to the fire room."

He threw down a few words, and without looking back, he quickly walked towards the fire room.

Yu Que's action made the beautiful maid stunned.

However, the woman did not dare to step forward to stop him. She just spat inwardly: "You took the things and left. You didn't even dare to stay a little longer, as if you were afraid that others would eat you."

Soon.

Yu Que came to the crematorium again.

He looked up at the still thick smoke hanging over the crematorium, and walked to the door of the fire room with ease.

To his surprise, the person in charge of guarding the fire room door tonight was the doorman Qing again.

The other party had just finished presiding over the sky burial and opening of the temple. Without taking a few days' rest, he came to work tonight.

Uncle Qing was lying on the rocking chair. He sniffed, opened his eyes suspiciously, stared at Yu Que and said:
"You just opened the temple, and you don't even understand what your own ancestral temple is, and you're in seclusion again... Are you going to bind the son of the snake crow into the temple?"

Yu Que did not hide it and immediately bowed: "Master Qing, Fiery Eyes, this is why I came here."

Uncle Qing continued to look at him, his tone slowed down, and he said:
“The snake crow is a fierce beast with the blood of the fire crow in its body. Although you only got a head, if it is enlightened by someone in the Taoist Palace, there is still a 10% to 20% chance that it can produce true fire.

You are rushing to refine it into a god and store it in the temple, so its potential is limited to this. Isn't it a pity?"

Yu Que had already prepared his response, and said decisively:

"It's not a pity. What you can eat is yours."

"What a good way to feel at peace after having a full stomach." Uncle Qing raised his eyebrows and laughed strangely:

"Haha, you are indeed quite smart. If that's the case, then go ahead!"

The other party waved the palm-leaf fan in his hand and shouted, "Room No. Jiazi, you can choose any room you want and use it as you like. Just remember to pay the bill once a year. Otherwise, you will not be allowed to enter the next year, and you will not be allowed to graduate in the third year."

Yu Que cupped his hands and said sincerely, "Thank you, Master Qing."

His words were not only to thank the man for his reminder, but also to thank him for his behavior at the sky burial site.

Although Uncle Qing did not help Yu Que at all when the temple was opened, he was one of the few people on the scene who took the initiative to help him. The other party was lying on the chair, and when he heard Yu Que's words, he hummed and nodded.

When Yu Que was about to leave and sink into the fire, Uncle Qing suddenly remembered something and called Yu Que:
"Wait a minute. In order to make it easier for the students who come to the fire room to work, I have compiled a booklet. Take a look at it first. It contains some tips on playing with fire. Maybe it will be useful to you."

With a snap, the other party twisted his body, took out a yellow manual from under his butt, and threw it at Yu Que.

Yu Que gladly took it and glanced through it. He saw that the handwriting on the pages was sloppy and looked like chicken claws scratching around. It was a manuscript and should have been written by the other party himself.

"Thank you, Master Qing. I will return it to you when I get out." He bowed again.

The doorman, Mr. Qing, snorted again, waved his hands, and said no more, just urged him to get out.

Yu Que did not delay any longer. Holding the manual and carrying the bags, he went deep into the crematorium and stepped into the red fire chamber.

This fire room was larger than the ones he had chosen the previous two times, and the flames in the room were bright red and burning extremely vigorously.

Yu Que had the experience of retreating twice before, so he quickly cleaned up the quiet room, set up warnings in the fire room, isolated the inside and outside, and checked everything.

After finishing the matter, he sat beside the stone bed in a daze, calming down.

Suddenly, he took out the manual that Uncle Qing had just thrown to him.

Yu Que checked it carefully and found no interlayer in the manual. The pages were just ordinary rice paper and no hidden text would appear after being exposed to cold or heat.

As for the contents in the manual, it really was just an introduction to every aspect of the crematorium, without using any deceptive excuses to pass on any magical skills to Yu Que.

This immediately disappointed him.

However, after a quick glance, Yu Que suddenly discovered that the booklet mentioned some information about true fire, which made him excited.

He sat cross-legged on the stone bed, opened the booklet, and after pondering it over and over again, he murmured:

"So that's how it is. Although there are no nine grades of true fire, it can be roughly divided into three elements: 'heaven, earth and man'. Above the three elements, there is rumored to be the immortal fire.

The Snake Crow True Fire in the county school is just the inferior "human fire" among the three talents."

The so-called heavenly fire refers to the true fire that can burn out of thin air and does not depend on external objects, such as the fire of the void and the fire of thunder. They are born from the spiritual energy, resentment, and incense between heaven and earth. They are powerful and effective, and have innate nature.
The so-called underground fire refers to the real fire that is born after thousands of years of gestation from the earth's crust, rocks, gold, iron, rivers and other environments, such as fire in stone, fire in water and so on.

As for human fire, it can also be said to be animal fire, bird fire, insect fire, etc. It refers to the true fire nurtured by the flesh and soul of all kinds of monsters and ghosts in the world.

For example, the true fire of the three-headed snake crow is formed by its bloodline and acquired opportunities. It is not generated by heaven and earth itself, but is just a breath of "acquired human fire".

After understanding the differences between the three types of true fire, Yu Que felt that his horizons were broadened, and it also gave him a clearer plan for the next task of raising true fire.

In the fire room.

After Yu Que carefully considered it several times, he burned incense, bathed, clenched his teeth and beat the drum. After completely setting up the altar for refining and salvation, he immediately put on the robes and walked around the altar, revealing his majestic demeanor.

When he sat upright on the altar with a serious face, he was finally ready to officially demonstrate his alchemy skills. The first step was to take out the small black gourd from his sleeve...
