Soon after, the group indulged in a bit of boasting for a while, and before long, night had fallen.
That night, the sky was filled with stars.
Li Xiaoqiang sat alone in his simple room, cross-legged. With a flip of his hand, a Crucible Furnace appeared.
Li Xiaoqiang gazed at the exquisite Crucible Furnace and said, "After obtaining the Earth Fire, I haven't had the chance to practice Alchemy. Now, let's give it a try."
Li Xiaoqiang placed the Crucible Furnace in front of him and prepared to summon the Earth Fire within his body.
With a flick of his finger, the Southern Gui Earth Fire drilled out from his fingertip.
The Earth Fire, like a Pikachu, ran around the room, squeaking as it went.
Li Xiaoqiang stared at the Earth Fire and commanded, "Get back here."
The Earth Fire, acting like a child, ran right in front of Li Xiaoqiang and began hopping on and off his palm.
Li Xiaoqiang looked at it and ordered, "Go, get into the Crucible Furnace."
