What made Zhou Qing regretful was that even though they had reached an agreement to do something together in the future, Ning Wan was not happy and gave him the money to buy the Yan Tian Ji.

So now the money that should be paid still needs to be paid.

Zhou Qing really had no reason to hesitate about this deal.

In order to cultivate Hunyuan Fire in a short period of time, this ghost corpse fire can be said to be a must, and he cannot give it up.

If he missed the corpse fire, his hope of finding a Yin-attributed strange fire in a short period of time would be too slim.

There was also information given to him by the Yun family about the strange fire in Jiuyang Ruins.

Those were just traces of strange fire discovered by the Yun family masters many years ago. Whether the True Yang Heavenly Fire and Meteorite Stone Flame really exist, and whether they have been taken away by others over the years, is still an unknown.

After he goes there, he may get two kinds of strange fire at once, or he may get nothing, or even escape in embarrassment.

However, ghost corpse fire definitely exists and can be obtained.

So he has to consider whether this is his only chance in the near future.

If Lu Qingmo had not wasted more than ten years, she would have only collected three kinds of Yin Fire. It is really difficult to find this thing.

From the beginning, there was no way he could refuse the deal.

He must seize every opportunity that comes his way! On the way, Zhou Qing talked secretly with Ning Wan.

"Miss Ning, I have to take part in the martial arts school rating next, so I may have to wait until the rating is over before I can do that."

Ning Wan nodded, "No problem, I can wait a few days."

"I'm not in a hurry. As long as I can complete this task within this year, that will be fine."

It is November now, and there is still more than a month left in this year, so there is plenty of time to do things.

Then Zhou Qing asked curiously, "I wonder what Miss Ning's mission is? Would you like to tell me now?"

"Since you have decided to cooperate, of course I should tell you the whole story."

Ning Wan had no intention of hiding anything and said directly, "Several decades ago, my father discovered a secret place in Tianwang County, but it was not yet time to open it. He did not forcefully break the secret place, but only left a Taoist technique to sense the situation there. We will see in the future."

"At the beginning of this year, the Taoist magic showed some reaction. My father went to the secret place to take a look and found that it was almost time to open it, so he gave me a mission."

"Let me explore that secret place and take away the treasures there without the help of the Chamber of Commerce. Everything I encounter in the process is a test for me."

Zhou Qing nodded slightly. It turned out that this was an exclusive task assigned to me by my father, the president of the guild.

After a little thought, he realized that there must be some explanation for this task.

That so-called secret place is definitely not as simple as Ning Wan said. Since President Ning was able to discover the existence of ghost corpse fire in it, there is no reason why he cannot discover other hidden things.

Since he specially asked his daughter to make this trip, the treasures there must be really good and must be of great significance for the trial.

Ning Wan continued:

"As for the ghost corpse fire, it was discovered by my father. However, the fire had not fully grown back then, but it is almost there now. There is one thing I want to explain in advance. The grade of the corpse fire should barely reach the level of manifestation of the saint, which is not particularly high."

"The Holy Fire... is enough." Zhou Qing did not dislike or complain.

The quality of the ghost corpse fire was not high, which was something he expected.

If it was the divine fire, or even a stronger flame, Ning Wan would never give it to an outsider like him.

A divine fire, a treasure that could appear in Yujing or even at the Wanxing Trade Fair at the Wanxing headquarters. How could it be possible to tell Zhou Qing so easily?

Ning Wan dared to offer a divine fire as a reward, but Zhou Qing didn't dare to accept it. How great a danger would that be?

In other words, being able to reach the stage of manifestation of holiness was beyond his expectations and made him feel pleasantly surprised.

In fact, at the beginning, his expectation was only a day-travel level flame...

Now hearing that he could barely reach the level of Manifestation of the Holy Spirit is already an extra surprise.

Ning Wan was able to tie him up on the boat at the cost of a ghost corpse fire, and Zhou Qing guessed there was something else going on.

Even though this corpse fire is not of particularly high grade, has a single function, and there are relatively few cultivators who can use it, it is still a rare fire from heaven and earth.

The value of a strange fire that is as powerful as a divine being cannot be measured by divine treasures, so the price Ning Wan paid for this transaction was indeed not small.

Well, but she is the president's daughter, so she must have a different perspective on the value of things.

A holy-level strange fire is nothing to a master in the Yellow Springs Realm.

Not very useful, just extremely hard to find.

This kind of fire from heaven and earth is always the most difficult to find traces of.

Of course, no matter how special it is, the value of this corpse flame will not surpass that of the Yin God.

The strange flames in this world are not the same as the strange fires that Zhou Qing knows. Overall, there are quite a few of them, because the strange fires of heaven and earth may be born for various reasons.

It is indeed a treasure and is very rare, but it is definitely not the most precious thing in the world that will be sought after by everyone.

And because this is a corpse fire, it can basically only play its best role in the hands of a corpse monk, so its value has to be discounted.

This was not a problem for Zhou Qing. What he needed was to refine the origin of the strange fire of heaven and earth so that the origins of the two flames could produce a miraculous reaction, thereby greatly increasing the power of his Yin Fire and saving him time in practicing the Yin Earth Fire Seal.

All kinds of strange fires from heaven and earth are just his nourishment, as long as the properties are right, it will be fine.

The huge improvement after the fusion of fire source and fire source is what he pursues.

"Since you are satisfied with the corpse fire, that would be the best." Ning Wan nodded and said:

"This mission has also been notified to the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce headquarters. Under the operation of my parents, it can even be said that it has become an assessment of me by the headquarters. Whether I can complete it successfully is very important to me. It is related to some of my affairs in the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce."

It turns out that it’s not just “my” father who is the president, but also “my” mother who is a senior executive!

The operation has become an assessment by the headquarters, so it is indeed something that needs to be treated with all one's strength. Zhou Qing now basically understands it.

Ning Wan's parents are both high-ranking members of the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce. Her talent must be extraordinary. Her treatment and status are probably no less than those of the true disciples of the top Taoist sects.

Since she was specially assessed, the purpose and reward must be complicated.

Once completed, given her background, she would probably gain enormous benefits from the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce.

Among the top Taoist sects, under what circumstances would a very formal assessment of the Taoist and Immortal seeds be conducted?

We must increase our training efforts! Zhou Qing said seriously: "Don't worry, I will cooperate with you and help you with all my strength."

Since he has promised something, he will not mess around.

As long as what Ning Wan said was true and she had no bad intentions towards him, he would definitely do his best to help her complete this assessment task.

"I am very confident in your ability." Ning Wan smiled sincerely.

Of course, she had heard of Zhou Qing's name and story.

This is a peerless genius who can defeat Saint Su Zhen in a test!

Although it was just a test and did not mean that one could defeat Saint Su Zhen in a head-on manner, the excellence of the number one genius in Heiyun Town was beyond doubt.

Considering the various restrictions placed on her in this assessment, Zhou Qing is truly the most suitable helper for Ning Wan.

Looking around Tianzhou, apart from those big forces, I have never heard of any small place producing a genius of this level.

However, because she didn't know Zhou Qing, she had never thought of asking him for help. Instead, she wanted to look for other people to see if there was anyone suitable.

But this time at the Wanxing Trade Fair, Zhou Qing just happened to propose a trade for Yin-attributed strange fire, which Ning Wan thought was indeed a godsend.

"There are two aspects of danger we will face in this mission." Ning Wan said:

"The first aspect is the various dangers that may exist in the secret place. My father told me to be careful, but he didn't tell me what the specific dangers are. So after entering the secret place, I must not be careless."

"The second danger comes from the local forces in Tianwang County. The location of the secret place is not far from a sect in Tianwang County. If the secret place is opened, it is very likely to alarm them."

"I cannot rely on the power of the Chamber of Commerce, and I cannot even reveal my identity, so after the secret place is revealed, we are very likely to be surrounded and killed by the people of that sect."

“…”

The danger inside the secret place is fine, but isn’t the siege by an entire sect a bit too much?

"What sect is it? How powerful is it?" Zhou Qing asked.

"It's called the Earth Corpse Sect. They have a few practitioners in the Manifestation of Sainthood and Washing Marrow realms. They're not very strong, but I can't handle them alone." Ning Wan was very frank.

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

"That's why I want to find helpers, and they can't be ordinary helpers."

"Earth Corpse Sect?"

Zhou Qing was stunned. He didn't expect to hear this familiar name again.

He was familiar with this sect and had already killed two monks from the Earth Corpse Sect.

After killing Dai Lin who came to avenge his son last time, Zhou Qing hadn't heard any news about the Earth Corpse Sect for a long time and almost forgot their existence.

I didn't expect that this time the Earth Corpse Sect would be related to Ning Wan's mission. It's really...

Fate is wonderful beyond words.

Ning Wan noticed the strange look on Zhou Qing's face and asked, "Do you know this sect?"

"I have some grievances with the people of this sect." Zhou Qing answered honestly: "So it's good that they don't recognize me at that time. If they recognize me, then maybe..."

It might make them more murderous.

Ning Wan was silent. She couldn't quite understand how Zhou Qing, a native of Tianyue County, could become enemies with the Dishi Sect in Tianwang County.

Because as far as she knew, no one from the Earth Corpse Sect went when the Mountain God tested them.

This sect has a bad reputation and can be said to be half evil and half righteous. Although it is not condemned by everyone, it does not make people like it and is often not tolerated by the righteous.

"It's okay. Even if you have no grudge against them, once the Earth Corpse Sect discovers the secret place and the Phantom Corpse Fire, they won't sit back and watch us leave."

Ning Wan shook her head. "No matter what, we will definitely face off against this sect."

If a corpse sect discovered a corpse fire, they would definitely go crazy.

Zhou Qing smiled, "Then we'll see who has the better strength then."

"If I go alone, I won't be able to do it alone, but with your help, it won't be difficult to escape." Ning Wan was very confident.

Zhou Qing was somewhat surprised and asked, "I am just an internal organ warrior. I am afraid I am not worthy of Miss Ning's high expectations."

Ning Wan glanced at him and smiled, full of charm.

"Mr. Zhou, I was born with some special abilities. I can sense things that ordinary people cannot see."

"So I believe in your ability. After all, you are a person who practices both soul and martial arts."

Zhou Qing was slightly surprised when he heard this. Did they know his soul realm? He was born with special abilities...

Zhou Qing roughly understood what Ning Wan meant. She was the kind of person with innate supernatural powers as rumored. Such a person was destined to be a genius and have an extremely bright future.

I just don’t know what Ning Wan’s innate magical power is.

Zhou Qing replied: "Do your best."

But deep down, he was very serious and solemn.

This strange fire is really hard to obtain, as I actually have to fight against a sect.

Although that day has not come yet, Zhou Qing is extremely certain that Ning Wan will not suffer any loss in this transaction.

With Ning Wan restricted, the effort he had to put in was definitely worth a strange fire.

The status of the Dishi Sect in Tianwang County is like that of the Yuan and Huang families in Tianyue County, or even stronger.

It would not be an easy task to deal with such a sect.

This transaction requires a lot of effort.

However, if one could advance to the Bone Refining Realm before going to the secret place in Tianwang County, then one’s chances would be much better.

But this is not up to Zhou Qing to decide. It depends on when Ning Wan sets off and whether he has enough time.

Tianwang County is not in the same direction as Tianyue County, and can be said to be going in opposite directions. It is also necessary to cross Zhongtian County and continue moving in the opposite direction of Tianyue.

Zhou Qing had so many thoughts in his mind, but he finally suppressed them one by one.

Just do it.

"Miss Ning, has she never been to Heiyun Town before?" Zhou Qing asked. He had indeed never seen Ning Wan.

"I just returned to Zhongtian City from my mother's place this month, and missed the opportunity in Heiyun Town."

Ning Wan said this, but there was no regret on her face.

Zhou Qing guessed that Ning Wan went to the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce headquarters for something very important, perhaps even more important than the test from the mountain god.

The two chatted as they walked the rest of the way. When they arrived at the bank, Zhou Qing took out Lu Qingmo's supplementary gold card. After going through a series of procedures, he withdrew enough money to buy the Heaven-shaking Secret and gave it to Ning Wan.

But Ning Wan took a part with a smile and left the rest to Zhou Qing.

She said, give Zhou Qing a discount and make friends.

Zhou Qing silently put away the remaining gold without refusing.

Very good, he likes making friends.

"I hope to see Master Zhou show his prowess in the martial arts school ratings."

Ning Wan said this with a smile, and then the two of them separated and went back to their own homes.

When he arrived outside the courtyard, Zhou Qing discovered that there seemed to be quite a few people inside, far exceeding the number of people expected in Taibai.

When he went in, he found that they were some acquaintances he had met in Heiyun Town, such as Dong Weiyu.

Besides this, there was a stranger.

But the man was a stranger, but Zhou Qing was very familiar with the clothes he wore.

It’s the people from the Department of Ghosts and Gods.

Zhou Qing, Bai Ruoyue, Dong Weiyu and the others greeted each other, and then came to the ghost and god manager. Before he could speak, the man said, "Zhou Xunyou, you are welcome."
