Chapter 139: The Second Elder is a Holy Body! (Part 1)

(PS: Some readers may find the daily life scenes not passionate enough, but don't worry. Ninafu will alternate between daily life and intense battles. Starting tomorrow, there will be a wave of exciting plot twists that will span about five chapters~!

After all, we also need to cater to readers who enjoy light-hearted and humorous daily life scenes.

Although the subscription count for the daily life chapters is higher than the previous battle at the Drunken Immortal Tower, Ninafu will not favor one over the other.

Finally, this chapter is less than 200 words, and it's free.)

Hooked by the bait, he didn't find anything wrong with it and even considered it natural.

It's only fair!

"Then... that's the best option."

Lin Fan suddenly had an idea: "If that's the case, I'll allocate a Spirit Mountain for you as a temporary residence for the Fire Virtue Sect."

"All the elders and disciples of the Fire Virtue Sect can live there."

"As for the Scripture Repository of the Fire Virtue Sect, you can decide for yourself."

He didn't dwell on the issue of whether his disciples could enter the Fire Virtue Sect's Scripture Repository and cultivate their arts and secret techniques.

In his opinion, there was no need to worry about it at all.

What's the difference?

Even if it's not possible now, in the future~~~ it will definitely be achievable.

Now that you're here, do you still want to leave?

For now, your Fire Virtue Sect is just occupying a mountain in my sect as a temporary residence.

But in the future~

Hey, your Fire Virtue Sect might just become the Artifact Crafting Department of the Moonseizing Sect~

Cough, of course, that's the best-case scenario.

For now, let's take it slow, nice and easy~

"That's the best option."

Huo Kunlun was pleased with Lin Fan's proposal: "In that case, our Fire Virtue Sect won't disturb your sect too much~"

Yes, he even added the word 'noble' to their sect.

Then he pondered for a moment: "However, we've been discussing and benefiting from the Fire Virtue Sect, but we haven't contributed anything. That won't do."

"Like this."

He began to 'sacrifice' himself: "For every day that our sect's elders, including me, stay in the Moonseizing Sect, we will offer a day of teaching!"

"This includes, but is not limited to, cultivation and artifact crafting."

"Any special skills or expertise must also be taught!"

"I'll make the arrangements. They must take an oath before coming here, or they won't be allowed to enter."

"How could we be so shameless?"

Lin Fan started rubbing his hands together.

"It's necessary, it's necessary, and it's only fair."

But Huo Kunlun wasn't satisfied. He turned his eyes and said, "What about the disciples? Their skills might not be up to par, and even if they are good, they certainly can't compare to the elders."

"Let them teach, but they don't have the qualifications. However, their strength is not bad."

"Then let them be sparring partners!"

"If your sect's disciples need them, they must suppress their cultivation level and act as sparring partners. Unless there's no one available, every disciple who comes to our sect must spar at least ten times a day."

"Ah?"

"That would be too embarrassing, right?"

"Nonsense! Nonsense!"

"Brother Lin, you wouldn't be unaware of the importance of high-quality potent pills on the Immortal Martial Continent, nor how rare they are!"

"With this, we're getting a great deal. I feel ashamed and embarrassed just thinking about it."

"Let me think of something else to offer in return..."

"I've got it!"

Suddenly, he slapped his thigh.

"As far as I know, your sect has around ten thousand disciples, right?"

"In that case, for any disciple above the Third Realm, our Fire Virtue Sect will custom-make a suitable artifact for them free of charge."

"For those who have just broken through to the Third Realm, we'll forge a treasure."

"For those already above the Third Realm, we'll craft artifacts according to the most suitable level for their cultivation."

"Treasures are most suitable for the Third and Fourth Realms."

"Spirit artifacts can unleash their full power in the Fifth and Sixth Realms."

"If there are any in the Seventh Realm, we'll forge Dao soldiers..."

As soon as he said this, Huo Kunlun felt his face turn red.

The Moonseizing Sect didn't have a single Seventh Realm cultivator.

Dao soldiers were valuable, but without a Seventh Realm cultivator, this offer was as good as nothing.

But...

Cough, cough, it's only fair to mention it.

"How could that be?"

Lin Fan glared at him: "We have so many disciples, and there will be more in the future. Are you saying you'll empty the Fire Virtue Sect?"

"No matter how many, our Fire Virtue Sect will take care of them all!"

"Brother Lin, you wouldn't be looking down on our Fire Virtue Sect, would you?"

"I stand by my words!"

Huo Kunlun was displeased, feeling belittled.

"Not only now, but even in the future, no matter how many disciples you accept, if even one of them breaks through to the Third Realm, our Fire Virtue Sect will custom-make an artifact for them!"

"I'll keep my word and never go back on it."

In truth, Huo Kunlun had some ulterior motives.

For those who break through to the Third Realm, we'll craft an artifact, but it will be a treasure at most, and its value is just so-so! You're just saying that!"

"It's true, I'm really embarrassed." Lin Fan quickly agreed, feeling genuinely ashamed.

"What's there to be embarrassed about?"

"It's decided!"

But Huo Kunlun just smiled at him, secretly thinking he was a little fox.

He was obviously delighted, but he pretended otherwise.

If I were an inexperienced youngster, I'd be fooled and lost.

But I'm not~

We're both thousand-year-old foxes, so don't play these tricks on me.

"Then, let's settle it this way."

Lin Fan sighed softly: "I can't refuse the offer of an elder."

The two exchanged a smile, understanding each other without words.

Just as they thought the negotiation was over and Huo Kunlun should have taken his leave, he coughed and said, "Brother Lin..."

"What is it, Elder Huo?"

"Well... actually, I really need high-quality potent pills."

"You may not know this, but I've been stuck at the third level of the Seventh Stage for over a thousand years. I even began to doubt if my cultivation path had reached its limit, which is why I considered having children..."

"Cough."

"It's quite embarrassing to admit."

He sighed, "But this trip to your esteemed sect has given me hope."

"So, I'll be staying here for a while."

"Please don't think I'm imposing, Lin Brother."

Lin Fan blinked in response.

What a character!

You, the Fire Virtue Sect's Sect Leader, instead of returning to manage your sect, you want to stay here and consume pills?

Is this really a good idea?

However, upon reflection, this is truly remarkable! It seems like everything is going even smoother than I had imagined.

"It appears I underestimated the allure of high-quality potent pills."

"Xiao Ling'er's ability to refine pills of the same rank as the Ninth Rank must remain a secret. Otherwise, we'll face a devastating disaster!"

Lin Fan silently cautioned himself.

"How could I possibly impose? Fire Uncle, you can stay as long as you like!"

Fire Kunlun rubbed his hands together, feeling awkward.

Subsequently, Lin Fan directly allocated a mountain to Fire Kunlun, allowing him to oversee its transformation.

Fire Kunlun didn't hesitate and immediately expressed his intention to take action.

"Sect Leader?"

Watching Fire Kunlun leave and return, Jin Zhen's face turned sullen. "My pills..."

"Here you go."

"Am I, the Sect Leader, going to take advantage of your pills?"

Fire Kunlun casually returned the jade bottle to Jin Zhen, unconcerned.

I can stay at Moonseizing Sect; why would I need to take advantage of your pills? Ridiculous!

Watch me, the Sect Leader...

Cough, cough.

Watch me, the Sect Leader, in action.

"Um..."

Fire Kunlun stood with his hands behind his back, proudly stating, "I've discussed with Lin Brother, and from now on, our Fire Virtue Sect and Moonseizing Sect will be like brother sects."

"As close as family!"

"And..."

After explaining, he didn't wait for the three's delighted reactions and continued, "There are three matters to attend to."

"First, transform the mountain allocated to us by Moonseizing Sect."

"Second, go back alone, empty out the treasure trove, bring all the pills, and instruct the Executive Elder to purchase corresponding spirit herbs at market price, as many as possible."

"Third, make copies of all scriptures and techniques within the Scripture Pavilion, except for those that cannot be shared outside the sect."

"Who will make the trip?"

Fire Kunlun's eyes lit up. "Third Elder."

"You just broke through, and you should focus on consolidating your cultivation. You shouldn't rush to break through further, right? It's best if you make this trip and consolidate your progress."

The Third Elder was helpless.

I don't want to go!

He wanted to argue, but Jin Zhen and Ma Canlan nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, that makes sense!"

"Your wisdom is unparalleled, Sect Leader."

"Third Elder, you've just broken through, and it's crucial to consolidate your progress. You can't continue taking pills recklessly, or it will be counterproductive! You're the most suitable person for this task."

Three against one, I don't even get a chance to speak?

Zhao Tiezhu could only nod reluctantly and then spoke up, "Sect Leader, shouldn't we also bring over the high-level elders and core disciples who desperately need pills?"

"How could we have overlooked that?" Fire Kunlun disagreed.

"We did overlook it." Zhao Tiezhu insisted, "Weren't we supposed to have them come over and take vows, we'll need people for that!"

"This is the fourth task. I alone might not be enough, so it's best if I have company. Who will accompany me?"

Alright, alright, you all think I'm easy to bully?

I can't resist? Then I won't resist, and I'll drag you all into this!

I can even play a divide-and-conquer game, brilliant!

Zhao Tiezhu's eyes shone with determination. He suddenly felt like his trip was truly worthwhile. Not only had he obtained pills to break through his cultivation bottleneck, but it seemed like his intelligence had increased as well.

However.

His plan was good, but Fire Kunlun shook his head in refusal. "No, this isn't urgent."

"The mountain allocated to us by Lin Brother hasn't been transformed yet, and it's not suitable for our disciples and elders to come over. We need time!"

"So, there's no need to rush. Once you complete these tasks, we'll choose a group to bring over."

"Third Elder, please make the trip."

"Go and get it done."

Zhao Tiezhu: "..."

So, you're just going to bully me?

He was helpless but could only laugh bitterly and leave.

Watching his departing figure, Fire Kunlun muttered to himself.

"Hmph, you've had it good for so long, but I, the Sect Leader, haven't even had a taste yet."

"So, what makes me, the Sect Leader, special?"

"I've worked hard for the sect for so many years, and now I can't even enjoy the fruits of my labor?"

"I need to taste the sweetness first before I let them come over."

"Otherwise, if they come and I can't take pills, what then?"

He pondered.

He wanted to immediately find Xiao Ling'er, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

This is too embarrassing.

"Hmm, I'll go tomorrow."

"Then, I'll pretend to look for Yun'er, and chat with her."

"..."

"Hehehe."

"Ah, it tickles."

Xiao Yun'er laughed so hard that tears streamed down her face.

After their playful moment, Xiao Ling'er put away her playful thoughts. "I'm going to refine a highly challenging pill, so I can't accompany you for a while."

"You'll cultivate on your own?"

"Yes."

Xiao Yun'er nodded. "Go ahead, I'll cultivate on my own."

"Mm."

Xiao Ling'er took a deep breath and then took out various spirit herbs...

"Teacher."

"Please help me!"

"Rest assured.

Lin Fan took a deep breath, adjusting her mindset. Although she had considerable experience crafting Seventh Stage Fusion Pills, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

Soon, a batch of medicinal ingredients was refined by her Unusual Flames.

After preparing, under Yao Lao's guidance, she began pill concoction using the flames as her furnace!

Huo Yun'er remained silent, propped on a large rock nearby with her chin in her hand, intently observing.

"Using flames as a furnace?"

This was the first time she had seen such a pill concoction method, and she couldn't help but be surprised: "I seem to have read about it in an ancient book, but that was many years ago, right?"

"It's said to be extremely complex, but once refined, it can be used anytime, anywhere, without the need for specific ingredients."

"This is the first time I've seen such a method up close."

"It's truly astonishing."

"Moreover, there's a unique beauty to it."

"When I was young, I often heard that focused men were the most attractive. But in my opinion, whether male or female, when someone is deeply focused, it draws everyone's attention."

Huo Yun'er's gaze traveled over Xiao Ling'er's body, and then she smiled dreamily.

"Go, my dear friend."

...

"Not enough!"

Within her spiritual sea, Yao Lao's expression turned solemn.

"The reason why concocting the Rejuvenation Pill is difficult is because it requires an extremely high temperature, and at the same time, it needs meticulous control."

"Your control is already sufficient, but with just one Unusual Flame, it's still far from enough."

"Continue raising the temperature."

"Use the method I taught you before..."

"The Iteration Technique!"

"Yes, teacher."

Xiao Ling'er responded, her expression even more focused, almost sacred.

"Ice Spirit Cold Flame, manifest!"

A chilling aura spread.

But within this coldness, there was also a scorching heat.

Huo Yun'er shivered.

Fortunately, the Dragon Bone Flame within her body promptly reacted, easily countering the cold.

Immediately, she was stunned.

"This...!"

What had she just seen? The Ice Spirit Cold Flame gradually climbed onto the Flame Furnace, and then it transformed, becoming a second layer of the pill furnace!

"Two layers??"

"Two Unusual Flames as furnaces, one layer on top of the other??"

Huo Yun'er was astonished.

"This...?"

"Pill concoction can be done like this?!"

Before she could accept this astonishing scene, an even more terrifying, almost horrifying event occurred.

Three more Unusual Flames emerged from Xiao Ling'er's body, and then they attached themselves to the flame furnace, changing...

One layer on top of the other.

In the end, they formed five layers of pill furnaces!

At a glance, it was extremely frightening.

Five pill furnaces, one on top of the other, all radiating a terrifying heat.

Each layer of the pill furnace was in a semi-transparent state, displaying different colors.

The area where these furnaces were located erupted with such high temperatures that even Huo Yun'er, who had the Dragon Bone Flame within her, felt overwhelmed.

"This...??"

"Pills can be concocted like this?!"

She was astonished, but her beautiful eyes flashed repeatedly.

As she retreated, a realization struck her.

"Pill concoction and artifact crafting have some commonalities."

"Can I borrow this method for artifact crafting?"

Huo Yun'er began to ponder.

But...

Suddenly, she realized something was amiss.

She only had one Unusual Flame, and even if it was possible, she fundamentally lacked the skills.

...

Half a day of busy work.

Xiao Ling'er's sweat poured like rain.

Finally, Yao Lao's expression turned grave: "The timing is almost right."

"Be careful."

"Yes, teacher."

Xiao Ling'er responded in her heart, and then she pinched her fingers into a technique, and with a low shout: "Condense!"

Boom!

The five layers of pill furnaces shattered simultaneously, and the Unusual Flames returned to Xiao Ling'er's body.

Two Rejuvenation Pills floated in the air, each emitting four radiant halos.

"Success, Fourth Rank, and two of them?!"

"And they're both Fourth Rank?"

Xiao Ling'er was overjoyed.

The ingredients for the Rejuvenation Pill were not cheap.

She had only gathered two sets of ingredients. She had planned to use the first set to practice, and if she failed, it wouldn't matter. But with the second set, she would do her best.

However, she hadn't expected that just the first attempt would far exceed her expectations.

Not only did she succeed, but she had two pills, and both were above Third Rank!"

"Haha."

"Not bad, not bad at all."

"You've indeed lived up to my expectations."

"Moreover, your opportunities far surpass mine a thousandfold. If everything goes smoothly, you surpassing my peak state is just a matter of time."

Yao Lao was delighted by Xiao Ling'er's growth and performance.

But Xiao Ling'er didn't become arrogant. She quietly said, "It's all thanks to your teachings."

"You, my child."

"I know you're filial, but you mustn't belittle yourself. I see your talent and strength in my eyes."

"You mustn't let me feel disappointed."

"Although your talent, perseverance, and other qualities surpass mine, but at the very least, you still have a long way to go."

"There's still so much more I can teach you~!"

"I'll listen to everything you say."

Xiao Ling'er smiled.

She was delighted.

After putting away the pill, she noticed Huo Yun'er staring at her with a ghostly expression.
