Chapter 38: No risk, no gain.
Listening to Xiao Huo's words, Old Xuan wondered if he had heard it wrong.
Xiao Huo is ready to abandon his own cultivation to prove his Dao heart? Are you kidding? Xiao Huo was humiliated by Shangguan Yanran's breaking off the engagement, and a year and a half ago, he made a three-year agreement with Shangguan Yanran at the Xiao family in Heitan City.
They agreed to avenge their previous defeat in a duel in Qinglan Sect three years later.
Now a year and a half has passed. During this time, Master Xuan has accompanied Xiao Huo on many trips, and he has endured countless hardships.
He practiced the Burning Technique at the risk of death, and because the beginner of the Burning Technique has an extremely low rank without swallowing the strange fire, he starts at the Yellow rank.
Therefore, it was extremely difficult for Xiao Huo to upgrade. It could be said that he had put in a lot of effort to reach his current second level of foundation building. Now there is only one and a half years left before the three-year agreement between Xiao Huo and Shangguan Yanran.
Originally, Master Xuan had planned for him to obtain the strange fire from Liuhuo City, and devour the Flame Lotus Prison Heart Fire so that the Burning Art could be upgraded to the lower level of the Xuan rank.
When the Burning Technique is upgraded, it can allow the practitioner to make a significant breakthrough in strength.
According to the normal plan, after Xiao Huo swallowed the strange fire, his strength should have broken through to the fifth or sixth level of foundation building.
After that, he practiced diligently for another year and a half. During the period, Old Xuan tried to get him some elixirs. With the help of the Strange Fire, the Burning Technique and actual combat training, it should not be a problem for Xiao Huo to break through to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage or reach the Half-Step Golden Elixir Stage within the three-year period.
But starting from Liuhuo City, Master Xuan’s plan was completely distorted with the appearance of Lu Yuan.
Now Xiao Huo told him that he decided to abandon his cultivation and prove his Dao heart? Xuan Lao: "Don't do anything rash. You need to know that your current cultivation is not easy to come by, and there is less than a year and a half left before the three-year agreement.
If you destroy your own cultivation now, what will you use to fight Shangguan Yanran? If you can't win the three-year agreement, the Xiao family will become a laughing stock!
Besides, if you waste your own cultivation, Lu Yuan may not pass on his skills to you. Why don’t you go and ask first? Don’t mess around! "
Master Xuan advised Xiao Huo not to be impulsive and to calm down first.
However, Xiao Huo said: "Teacher, which one do you think is stronger, the Burning Art or the Great Sun Burning Heaven Art? Which one can take me further?"
Elder Xuan: "If the effects of the techniques recorded in the Great Sun Burning Heaven Technique are true, then the techniques that directly lead to the Golden Immortal must be far superior to the Burning Art.
Moreover, the Burning Technique is indeed too dangerous to practice, and its upper limit should not be as high as that of the Golden Immortal. Therefore, the Great Sun Burning Heaven Technique should be above the Burning Technique."
Xiao Huo nodded: "Teacher, if I give up the Burning Technique you gave me and switch to practicing the Great Sun Burning Heaven Technique, will you blame me?"
Elder Xuan shook his head in the ring: "Although I passed on the Burning Technique to you, as my disciple, I actually didn't want you to practice such a dangerous technique. I was forced to do so.
Now you have a better opportunity and a safer method, how can I blame you? I only hope that you can go further and climb higher! "
Master Xuan is indeed a good teacher. When Xiao Huo joined Daluo Sect for the sake of the strange fire, Master Xuan silently supported him.
Now Xiao Huo wanted to give up the Burning Technique, practice another technique instead, and join another school. Old Xuan didn't say anything, only saying that he hoped Xiao Huo could go further.
Xiao Huo said: "So, if I want to get the Great Sun Burning Heaven Technique back now, I must let Sect Master Lu see my sincerity. At that time, he asked me to abandon my cultivation and switch to practicing the technique, but I didn't seize the opportunity. If I hesitate again this time, it means that my heart to seek the truth is not firm. Not to mention Sect Master Lu, even I myself will not pass it on to myself.
How can you get a tiger cub without risking it? Today I must burn my boats and let Sect Master Lu see my sincerity!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Xuan sighed.
"Since you have made up your mind, just go for it."
After hearing what Xiao Huo said, Old Xuan began to feel that what Xiao Huo said made sense.
Things like immortal fate are only obtained by those who are destined to be with you and those with great perseverance, but only mediocre people cannot obtain it.
This Sect Master Lu is probably a great man who lives in seclusion in the city.
This kind of master who grants immortality is also selective in the people he chooses.
Xiao Huo missed it once, and this time might be the last chance. If he still hesitates, then this opportunity will really be gone for him.
This time he is making a desperate move and giving up his own cultivation to show his sincerity, maybe he can impress Sect Leader Lu.
You can try it!
If I could really obtain the Great Sun Burning Sky Art, it would actually be worth it to sacrifice my own cultivation!
After all, for a practitioner, the early stage of cultivation can be recovered by spending a few more years at most, but the opportunity to become an immortal cannot be missed, and it cannot be made up for by spending more time.
After getting the support from Master Xuan, Xiao Huo activated the Dantian in his body. The spiritual energy in his body poured out in an instant, crashing out of the Dantian, and his true energy dissipated.
At this moment, Xiao Huo's Dantian began to leak air like a punctured balloon, and his aura also began to drop rapidly.
Falling all the way from the second level of foundation building to the first level of Qi refining.
Xiao Huo spat out a mouthful of blood.
The sudden destruction of his own cultivation also caused great damage to his body. It would take at least half a month for him to recover.
But this is exactly the effect Xiao Huo wanted now. He walked towards Lu Yuan's yard step by step. He wanted to show his sincerity to Sect Master Lu with his current appearance.
After Xiao Huo gave up his cultivation, he vomited black blood every time he took a step.
He walked towards Lu Yuan's yard step by step, leaving bloody footprints under his feet.

…
Late at night, Lu Yuan sat cross-legged in his room.
Xiao Huang was very happy to refine the divine golden elixir he condensed today. This was a reward given to him by the system.
Today is the happiest day since I started binding the system.
System rewards: [Golden elixir upgrade - divine golden elixir], [Extra divine golden elixir +1], [Small Five Elements Escape Technique], [Thirty-six Heavenly Gangs - Flying Body and Trace Technique], [Substitute Straw Doll Weaving Technique], Points +500,000.
There is no need to say much about the divine golden elixir and the spare golden elixir.
After swallowing the two golden pills, Lu Yuan, who is at the golden elixir stage, will become extremely powerful, even far surpassing Xiao Huang, who has dual powers and a divine golden elixir.
After all, Xiao Huang only has one divine golden elixir, while Lu Yuan has two.
The subsequent system reward, [Small Five Elements Escape Technique], is just as its name suggests, a five-element escape technique that can speed up movement speed in battle, with excellent effects.
[The Thirty-Six Changes of Tiangang - The Flying Body and Trace Method] is one of the Thirty-Six Changes of Tiangang.
The Thirty-six Transformations of Tiangang are the highest magical power of Taoism.
In Taoism, the eight trigrams are composed of six yin and yang symbols, which refer to the universe and all things in it. That is, three threes are endless, six sixes are infinite, and thirty-six represents infinity.
The Tiangang method is a great supernatural power.
The method of flying and hiding is a technique of hiding and is one of the thirty-six supernatural powers.
By using this technique, one can hide one's true body in the heaven and earth and roam around the four seas. One cannot be known, checked or observed. One exists in the world but cannot be seen in it.
It is an extremely clever way to hide the great supernatural power, and it is also a way to save your life.
The next reward is [The Art of Weaving a Death Doll], which is also a way to save your life.
Lu Yuan is still studying the spell of making a straw doll to take the place of the dead. The straw doll can be used to take the place of the dead once. He feels that when this thing is actually used, it may be more important than the Great Five Elements Escape Technique and the Flying Body Trace Technique!
Just when Lu Yuan was immersed in studying these magical spells late at night, there was a knock on his door.
Lu Yuan looked towards the door and asked, "Who?"
Outside the door, Xiao Huo, with a mouth full of black blood, opened his mouth and replied: "Master, it's me."
