Chapter 182 - Heavy Losses (1/2)

Nosee his serious expression however, helped them to accept it without so iven them a taste of just how far behind Ai Hui they were, and as such they were now less doubtful of his actions

Lou Lan brought out all the re chili

Chili was a coredient that was especially enjoyed by fire elementalists

During the Cultivation Era, the cultivators led siant dishes They ate things like spirit grains and drank spirit tea Those ere more affluent ate spirit food that had been nurtured for extended periods of time, usually upwards of ten thousand years Such foods were not just highly potent, they were also symbols of wealth and power

The newly founded Avalon of Five Ele one thousand years, even less if one began counting froe over the Wilderness People living in the Avalon of Five Elements were more interested in the practical value of the food they ate Elemental food, for instance, was an iiarded aspect of elemental food

The popularity of elemental food hat spurred the wood elementalists to focus redients Chili was an exaredient

Chilies contained an abundant ay While not considerably powerful, the fire elereatly increase the liveliness of the fire eley within a fire elementalist’s body

Fire ele the five types of eley Liveliness was a crucial part of fire eley, so much so that the flay burned hotter If it was an endother formed, then its temperature would be much lower

The wood ele a wide variety of exceptional species

Each chili pepper frohtly curved Its neatly arranged seeds could be seen through its crystalline red body Every once in awhile, one of its seeds would release a jet of flaed around the cavity within the chili pepper’s body

Of course, such chilies couldn’t simply be eaten on a whim

Although the eley contained within chili hadand posed a serious challenge to the person eating it Theits ele, wood elementalists had been able to take its “spiciness” to a whole new level At that level, spiciness was no longer just a taste, but an experience

Anyone who took on the challenge would feel as though their entire body was on fire They would feel as though flale pore on their body, as if they had fallen into a pit of ma or burned at the stake

Such advanceredient to one that was specially used by fire elementalists Only fire ele fory Nowadays, there existed certain species of chilies that were rarely eaten even by fire elementalists Under the perverse dedication of the wood eleredients had undergone extreme transformations

Using chili to suppress the blood ants was no joke

In the Wilderness, Ai Hui had done and witnessed even weirder things Froe on one’s body to hide bodily scents, to using plant juices as poisonous insect repellent, he had experienced them all

What’s so strange about using chili?

Lou Lan squatted beside Ai Hui and asked curiously, “Does Ai Hui have a sudden craving for chili?”

“Nope,” replied Ai Hui without lifting his head “I suspect that the blood ants have an aversion to the smell of chili”

“Really?” Lou Lan asked, suddenly interested

“I’m not sure, but on’t know until we try” Ai Hui exahtly different looking things in front of hireen ones, yellow ones, red ones, and even black ones! Soe and some were tiny, some were of odd shapes as well

Were the blood ants averse to all kinds of chili or only specific types?

Forget it, let’s just try them out first

Ai Hui took out a few of each type of chili and began to grind them up separately A rich, spicy smell pervaded the air as he crushed the chilies into powder for the powdered forms of species such as Lava

He spread the chili powder in a circle around the training ground In order to test how effective each type of chili was as a repellant, he marked down the location of each different kind Lou Lan went down into the basement to sprinkle chili powder as well

The blood ants weren’t powerful coth in numbers and often round as well

Ai Hui was exhausted after finishi+ng the whole business with the chilies

He didn’t sit down, but began to co in his sword stance He relished finally having the chance to meditate

He had done all he could, the only thing left to do ait

Every part of his body ached as an overwhel tiredness washed over hi himself awake, Ai Hui persevered with the Circulatory Cycle Revolution

His bodily aches, exhaustion, the wind, and the faraway sounds of battle receded fro tide The world around him slowly faded away as his focus remained squarely on the task at hand All that was left was an inner tranquility, the circulation of his ele of the sword embryo
