Chapter 33: Much Better Than The Lighter!
“Mr. Li, this is just a little something. Please, accept it,” the Holy Emperor said with a sincere tone.
Li Nianfan accepted the box and opened it slowly. A trail of flame shot up toward the sky as the lid was opened, along with the sound of a roaring dragon. The fire condensed into the shape of a fire dragon mid-air, arrogant and majestic. However, this did not go on for long. A moment later, its body jolted slightly mid-air, seemingly in fear. It quickly retreated into the box and transformed into a round flaming red pearl.
This scene caught the Holy Emperor and the others off guard.
Since when was the Dragon Fire Pearl so compliant?
Anyone who knew of the Dragon Fire Pearl was aware that the pearl was originally the spirit of a fire dragon from ancient times. It contained the arrogance and temper of the fire dragon. Although it was the most precious treasure of the Dynasty, even the Holy Emperor had to treat it with respect.
Normally, when the Dragon Fire Pearl was released, it would stay out of its pearl form longer, exerting its dominance and power. Yet, this time it seemed intimidated?
Perhaps it was intimidated by the power of the expert.
What an expert! Even the most arrogant Dragon Fire Pearl had to go back into its box.
The Holy Emperor’s heart sank in shock. He always had to be the one to give in to the fire dragon, yet today it gave in right away upon seeing Li Nianfan. Lin Qingyun and Zhao Shanhe looked at the Holy Emperor in shock. They could not believe that the Holy Emperor gave the Dragon Fire Pearl as a gift! This was not just any ordinary gift!
One knew that the flame of the Dragon Fire Pearl could help the cultivators to condense their inner flame, helping them break through to become Golden Core cultivators. This was one of the most sought-after treasures in this realm, or else Lin Qingyun would not have tried so many ways to borrow this Dragon Fire Pearl.
However, Bai Wuchen did not seem as surprised. He understood what the Holy Emperor was thinking. Just like himself, to thank Li Nianfan for his kindness, Bai Wuchen also gave him his most precious item—the Sword Immortal Jade from the Wanjian Immortal Sect.
Regardless if it was the Dragon Fire Pearl or the Sword Immortal Jade, they were nothing compared to the most useless item he possessed. As long as they were able to please Li Nianfan, when the time was right, they would be rewarded with something way more precious.
“Huh? This pearl gives out flames!” Li Nianfan picked up the pearl in surprise. He smiled at the Holy Emperor. “If it’s too precious, I can’t keep it.”
The expert was hinting again.
“It’s not precious at all,” the Holy Emperor said. “This is the Dragon Fire Pearl. It can only make fire.”
Li Nianfan nodded and said to the Dragon Fire Pearl, “Show me some fire again?”
Vroom!
A flame rose from the pearl into the air. The nature of the flame was gentle and extremely obedient.
“Hmm, this is nice. It’d be useful to make a fire in the future.” Li Nianfan smiled with satisfaction. This was way more useful than a lighter. “Alright, I’ll keep this. Thanks!”
His visitors smiled bitterly.
The Fallen Demon Sword was used for cutting wood. The Sword Immortal Jade was used as a torch. Now, the Dragon Fire Pearl was for making fire.
