Chapter 36: I am very good at hiding the true strange fire!
Nan Si Ning and Hua Sheng Qing both widened their eyes at the same time: "What?!"
Yuan Qing'an helped Qin Sangyue add, "When Senior Brother Hu brought Luo Qingyao out, she was covered in blood and in a coma. Senior Brother Shen also took a lot of effort to save her life."
Hua Shengqing angrily said, "Why save her? She should have just been killed! She killed several disciples of Medicine King City in the secret realm, and Medicine King City actually saved her? What a farmer and snake!"
Nan Si Ning accepted it faster. Luo Qingyao would not die so easily. After all, she was the protagonist.
"Seventh Senior Sister, don't be angry. Senior Brother Shen saved her life because if she died in Medicine King City, Medicine King City would be held responsible no matter what. By then, perhaps Luo Qingyao's life alone could be enough to pay for the lives of those in the secret realm. Does she deserve it?"
Hua Shengqing seemed to be thinking: "Junior Sister, what you said makes some sense."
Yuan Qing'an also consoled her, "Luo Qingyao was seriously injured this time. She probably knew she had offended Medicine King City. Medicine King City was generous and forgiving in not killing her outright, not to mention healing all her injuries and restoring her dantian and tendons. That's probably why she's trying so hard to leave Medicine King City."
"Hmph! After she goes back, she will definitely confuse right and wrong again and put all the blame on us and Yaowang City!" Hua Shengqing has suffered too much at the hands of Luo Qingyao and knows Luo Qingyao's character and methods very well.
Qin Sangyue added, "So, when we return to the sect this time, we might be questioned by the sect master and others. Some might even try to exploit the situation. Seventh Junior Sister and Little Junior Sister, be careful and don't let anyone bully you."
Nan Sining originally thought that Qin Sangyue would say that they should avoid conflicts, but she actually said that they should not be bullied.
Senior Sister is so nice!
"Okay! Don't worry, Senior Sister. No one can bully us now!" Nan Sining said confidently.
Although she is still in the Qi Refining Stage, she has the true fire of the sun! Whoever dares to cause trouble without knowing the truth will be burned!
Hua Shengqing also puffed out her chest proudly: "That's right! They better have eyes, otherwise, they will be in trouble!"
Yuan Qing'an smiled with satisfaction: "It seems that both of my junior sisters have made considerable gains."
Before, Hu Yan couldn't find his three brothers and sisters in the secret realm, and he didn't know what happened to them later.
After returning to the guesthouse, Hua Shengqing couldn't wait to show her Ziwei Heavenly Fire to her senior sister and second brother.
Seeing Hua Shengqing open her arms, red flames shot up from her shoulders, then spread to her arms, palms, and fingertips. Even Qin Sangyue and Yuan Qing'an were stunned.
"The aura of your strange fire is very powerful. It's not an ordinary strange fire!" Qin Sangyue said with some amazement.
Hua Shengqing was as proud as a poor elementary school student who had scored perfect marks: "Of course! This is the Ziwei Heavenly Fire!"
"Ziwei Heavenly Fire?" Yuan Qing'an was also shocked.
What Hu Yan mentioned the most this time was the Purple Myrtle Sky Fire.
In the secret realm of strange fire in Yaowang City, there is a purple myrtle sky fire. Many people know about it, but no one dares to covet it. This is because this kind of strange fire that ranks at the top of the strange fire list is extremely difficult to subdue.
Everyone was shocked that Luo Qingyao dared to set her sights on it. No one expected that the Ziwei Heavenly Fire that Luo Qingyao had spent so much effort to obtain would end up in the hands of her own junior sister. What kind of twists and turns were involved in this?
Seeing that the senior sisters and brothers were curious, Nan Sining helped Hua Shengqing to explain the origin of Ziwei Sky Fire and the fact that its power was much lower now.
Qin Sangyue and Yuan Qing'an finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the Ziwei Heavenly Fire is the most precious treasure between heaven and earth, and there may not be three of them in the whole world. With the ability and temperament of my junior sister, it is probably difficult to convince such a spiritual object. If it is replaced with a fire seed, it will be an ordinary magic weapon. Although its power is much weaker, it will not backfire.
Moreover, as Hua Shengqing's cultivation level improves and her realm rises, Ziwei Tianhuo can also grow with her, thus saving the extremely difficult step of subduing it and making it easier for them to communicate with each other.
"Junior sister, did you also get a piece of the Ziwei Heavenly Fire?" Qin Sangyue asked.
Nan Si Ning's five spiritual roots allow her to hold treasures of various attributes.
Nan Si Ning's mind moved, and a lotus-shaped fire appeared in his palm: "Mine is not Ziwei Heavenly Fire, but the True Fire of the Sun."
Qin Sangyue and Yuan Qingan's expressions suddenly went blank.
They knew that there was Ziwei Heavenly Fire in the Secret Realm of Strange Fire, but they had never heard that there was True Sun Fire in Yaowang City!
You have to know that it ranks first on the list of strange fires! Once any news of the Sun's True Fire is released, it will cause the cultivators of the entire continent to become restless!
Other sects and forces can still contain themselves against the Ziwei Heavenly Fire, but if it is the Sun's True Fire, no one can sit still.
"Junior Sister, you must never reveal this Sun True Fire to anyone else. You must remember this, understand?"
Nan Si Ning nodded. "I understand the principle of the underworld: an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure, but what should I do when I want to use this fire to refine the elixir?"
Yuan Qing'an pondered for a moment and said, "We can't stop using Junior Sister's Exotic Fire just because we're afraid others might covet it. However, this Exotic Fire is clearly not an ordinary one. Even more experienced cultivators can tell it's on the Exotic Fire Ranking. I think we can pretend Junior Sister's Exotic Fire is the Glazed Sky Fire."
Liulili Heavenly Fire is also on the list of strange fires, ranking lower than Ziwei Heavenly Fire, but in terms of appearance, it is quite similar to the Sun's True Fire.
Qin Sangyue thought this was a great idea: "They look very similar in appearance, and both have the aura of powerful exotic fire. Ordinary people can't tell the difference. Only a powerful person in the fusion stage can see the true nature of the sun's true fire at a glance."
On this continent, there are only a handful of powerful people in the fusion stage, and most of them are old monsters in seclusion. Nan Sining has little chance of running into them.
As long as he can deceive other people, Nan Sining can use this strange fire openly.
Yuan Qing'an also added: "With Seventh Junior Sister's Ziwei Skyfire standing out in front, Liulili Skyfire won't be so eye-catching, and the chances of being discovered and snatched away will be even smaller."
Nan Si Ning felt that he couldn't think of a better way, so he responded, "Okay! From now on, tell everyone that my strange fire is Liuli Litian Fire. Seventh Senior Sister, you must help me remember it."
Hua Shengqing quickly agreed.
Qin Sangyue and the other two tactfully didn't ask any further questions about the origin of the Sun's True Fire, and Nan Sining was happy to not have to explain.
Although she could see that her senior brothers and sisters were indeed very curious, and although the True Sun Fire was ranked first on the list of strange fires, few people in the world had seen it, and some even suspected that it only existed in legends.
But Nan Si Ning didn't want to say it either. The little beast had a lot of information about the true sun fire, and it must not be revealed to anyone.
They chatted for a long time, and after they finished talking about the strange fire, Hua Shengqing said, "Senior Sister, I feel like I'm about to establish my foundation."
Qin Sangyue was very surprised: "So soon? Didn't you say you planned to return to the sect to build your foundation?"
Hua Shengqing explained, "The fire energy in the Strange Fire Secret Realm is too abundant. I was a little greedy and couldn't help but..."
Qin Sangyue immediately showed an expression of understanding.
Hua Shengqing had good talent and cultivated very quickly in his early years, but ever since his master went missing, the treatment he received at Cijian Peak became worse and worse, and his cultivation progress was slowed down a lot, so that Hua Shengqing, who was originally much ahead of Luo Qingyao in cultivation, was caught up.
Hua Shengqing had been fuming over this, and she often worried that Luo Qingyao would establish her foundation before her. In Hua Shengqing's opinion, that would be a huge disgrace.
This time, the secret realm of strange fire is an excellent place for cultivation created for fire spiritual roots, so Hua Shengqing naturally seized this opportunity.
"Building the foundation is a good thing. Yaowang City has no shortage of foundation-building pills, so you can start at any time." Qin Sangyue said.
Hua Shengqing said a little embarrassedly: "But if this happens, I can only fight against those in the Foundation Establishment Stage in the sect competition. I'm afraid no one in the Qi Refining Stage can beat me."
There is Qin Sangyue in the Jindan stage, Zhou Lixing and Liang Xiao in the foundation-building stage. Originally, Hua Shengqing was the main combat force in the Qi-refining stage. If she established the foundation, Cijian Peak would be missing such a person.
Nan Si Ning said from the side: "Seventh Senior Sister, don't worry about this. If you succeed in building your foundation, won't our foundation building stage have an extra helper? Besides, I'm still here in the Qi Refining stage! I might be able to fight!"
Nan Si Ning's swordsmanship is really average, but she's really hot right now! She's super confident!
Qin Sangyue and Yuan Qing'an showed helpless expressions. It would be better if the junior sister didn't say that.
"Seventh Junior Sister, Third Junior Brother is injured and needs to recuperate for a while. It just so happens that you have completed your foundation building phase and can take his place. As for the Qi Refining Stage duels, don't you still have your Sixth Senior Sister and the others?"
Hua Shengqing thought about it and agreed, so she decided to start building her foundation immediately.
Qin Sangyue handed her the foundation-building pill and reminded her of some precautions when building the foundation. Then she left her alone in the house and set up the formation and defense before leaving.
Coming to Qin Sangyue's yard next door, Qin Sangyue asked about Nan Sining's experience.
Nan Si Ning said honestly: "As soon as I entered the secret realm, I fell into the Black Forest."
"Black Forest?" Qin Sangyue and Yuan Qing'an looked at each other in confusion. They had been staying outside the secret realm with Shen Tangyuan these days, and had heard him talk more about the Black Forest.
Because Hu Yan came out and said that he met the three people from Cijian Peak, Qin Sangyue and Yuan Qing'an thought that the three of them were lucky and no one encountered the Black Forest!
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Nan Si Ning couldn't help but ask when he saw that they looked strange.
Yuan Qing'an tapped the jade flute in his hand, appearing a bit confused. "Junior Sister, can you please tell me everything that happened in the Black Forest?"
Nan Sining then recounted his experience.
"So, in the end, you relied on this little beast to get out?" Yuan Qing'an asked.
Seeing that his senior brothers and sisters all looked incredulous, Nan Si Ning nodded vigorously and pulled the little beast's paw, saying, "That's right. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get out no matter how hard I tried. I'm afraid I would die in there."
Although he had only been in the Black Forest for less than two days, Nan Si Ning would remember the feeling of being unable to find a way out for the rest of his life. It was so hopeless and so helpless.
Yuan Qingan then slowly explained, "Regarding the Black Forest, Senior Brother Shen later told us that, based on their observations of the secret realm, people cannot walk out of the Black Forest because the Black Forest moves with them."
This time it was Nan Si Ning's turn to have his mind faltered: "Huh? Can the forest move?"
"Of course, an ordinary forest can't move. Or rather, no forest in the world can move on its own. But this Black Forest appeared suddenly, and the situation was very strange, so it's not surprising that it can move on its own."
Nan Sining thought of the situation in the Black Forest and felt that the entire forest was indeed strange.
However, if the forest can move with people, it is normal for people to be trapped in the forest and unable to get out.
Thinking of this, Nan Si Ning was terrified and couldn't help but hug the little beast again to calm it down.
Without it, I might really die alone in despair.
At this time, Qin Sangyue and Yuan Qing'an also began to look at the little beast in front of them, which had been following Nan Si Ning silently, with a new respect.
I didn't expect that this pitch-black thing could actually break the trap in the black forest. It's quite magical.
After talking about the Black Forest, Nan Sining talked about the subsequent travels with Luo Qingyao and others. These were similar to what Hu Yan said and there was nothing special about it.
Just as Nan Sining was talking about how the little beast had crashed into Luo Qingyao in order to save itself, he saw the Medicine King coming on a flying magic weapon, followed by Liang Xiao.
Before Medicine King landed, he saw a large number of restrictions on a small courtyard and was a little surprised: "Who is in that courtyard?"
Qin Sangyue took the initiative to tell him about Hua Shengqing's foundation-building efforts. The Medicine King, who had been scowling, suddenly smiled. "I thought this trip to the Strange Fire Secret Realm wasn't going to yield any good results. I didn't expect this nephew to have such good fortune. Not bad."
Although most of the matters in the Strange Fire Secret Realm were handled by Chen Tangyuan, Yao Wang, as the boss here, was inevitably affected.
The fact that Hua Shengqing was able to establish her foundation right after coming out was a rare piece of good news amidst a pile of bad news.
After everyone comforted the Medicine King for a few words, Qin Sangyue asked, "Senior, you're not the only one here, but what's the matter? Is it my Third Junior Brother—"
"Don't worry, nephew Zhou is doing well. I'm sure Tang Yuan has already told you that his spirit was healed in a timely manner, so there aren't any major problems left. I gave him some medicine, and I think he'll wake up soon. He just needs to rest for a while."
"I came here to see how my other two nephews are doing. Do they need any medicine?"
I didn't expect that someone like Yao Wang would come here in such a hurry just for this matter.
Even though he was not a relative of his, nor a senior elder in the sect, Nan Sining could not help but feel respect and gratitude for him from the bottom of his heart.
"Thank you for your concern, Senior. My Seventh Senior Sister and I are both fine."
"It would be more reassuring if I could take a look. You people from Cijian Peak are always having such conflicts, which makes me worried." said the King of Medicine.
Nan Sining asked him to check it out.
Perhaps because he noticed that Nan Si Ning's fire spirit root was particularly prominent, the King of Medicine was puzzled for a moment, but he did not show it very obviously.
Seeing that Nan Si Ning was indeed not seriously injured, the Medicine King finally felt relieved. Nan Si Ning was a genius in alchemy. If anything went wrong, it would not only be an insult to his old friend, but also a great loss to the alchemy world.
After checking his physical condition, the King of Medicine asked about Nan Sining's experiences in the secret realm.
Upon hearing that Hua Shengqing and Zhou Lixing both obtained the Purple Myrtle Skyfire, and Nan Si Ning obtained the Glazed Skyfire, the Medicine King laughed heartily, a rare outburst of laughter. "Great! Great! Great! I'm relieved that you've made such a great haul this time. The disciples of your Cijian Peak are truly outstanding. Your master truly has a good eye for talent!"
Nan Si Ning asked with some hesitation, "Senior, the Ziwei Heavenly Fire was destroyed and scattered throughout the secret realm. Don't you feel sad about losing such a treasure?"
The Medicine King's smile remained as he replied, "Why should I be sad about this? If the Purple Myrtle Heavenly Fire isn't used by humans, no matter how powerful it is, it will only increase its fame and serve no other purpose. Although it's been destroyed, the fire remains in the secret realm, giving the disciples of Medicine King City a greater chance of taming it. In tens of thousands of years, the fire may even grow into the true Purple Myrtle Heavenly Fire, so it's not a huge loss."
I didn’t expect that the King of Medicine is such a pragmatic person. If something cannot be used by me, then no matter how good it is, it is worthless. What a great value he has.
Nan Sining felt that he had learned something new.
Moreover, such a tolerant and open-minded attitude is rare. In the world of cultivation, the strong prey on the weak. Many people in high positions and with great abilities tend to look down on others and fuss over trivial matters.
Yao Wang and Nan Si Ning were chatting happily with each other, and they were in great joy. Only Liang Xiao was standing there in a daze.
He didn't expect that Seventh Junior Sister didn't tell him about such a big thing as obtaining the Ziwei Heavenly Fire, and didn't even inform him about her need to build a foundation.
If it were my Seventh Junior Sister from before, she would have been the first to tell me the good news and then discuss foundation-building with me. She always tried hard to find topics to talk to me, but this time, with such a good reason, she ignored me. What was going on? What had she encountered in this secret realm?
Talking about the Black Forest, the Medicine King also seemed a little serious. When he heard that it was the little beast that took Nan Si Ning out of the forest, the Medicine King stared at the little beast for a long time.
"Senior, do you know what kind of spiritual beast or demon beast it is?" Nan Si Ning asked expectantly when he saw that Medicine King looked thoughtful.
The Medicine King withdrew his gaze, stammered for a moment, and then said, "No, I can't recognize it either."
But Nan Sining always felt that the Medicine King seemed to know something, but he was unwilling to say it.
He was unwilling to say it, and Nan Si Ning didn't want to force him.
"Can it speak human language?" the Medicine King suddenly asked.
Nan Si Ning shook his head: "No, but it's quite smart and can understand what I mean."
The Medicine King suggested, "You can refine a Human Speech Pill for it. After a few days of teaching, it will be able to speak human language. This will be much more convenient than the current method."
Nan Si Ning nodded quickly: "Yes, thank you for your advice, senior!"
After the Medicine King understood what he wanted to know, he left.
Liang Xiao was in a complicated mood. Although he had just heard a little, he still had a lot to ask Nan Si Ning about Hua Shengqing. Nan Si Ning remembered Hua Shengqing's enlightenment in the secret realm and felt that it would be better for the seventh senior sister to answer the fourth senior brother's doubts. So he made an excuse and said, "Big sister, second senior brother, fourth senior brother, I'm tired and want to go back and rest."
Nan Si Ning was kept talking by them, and they talked for almost the entire night, when the sky was already turning pale.
"Then you should go back to the yard and rest. The little beast can stay here and we will help take care of it for you." Qin Sangyue said gently.
As a result, the little beast immediately stuck to Nan Sining, looking a little anxious and panicked.
Nan Si Ning quickly comforted it and said, "You can follow me, don't be afraid."
Looking at Nan Si Ning bringing the little beast back to the courtyard, Yuan Qing'an smiled and said, "Since Junior Sister recovered, she has become more and more caring for others."
Qin Sangyue seemed somewhat relieved and said, "Yes, I used to worry about her future, but now seeing her becoming more and more powerful, I feel that all my previous persistence was worth it."
Liang Xiao really wanted to pull Nan Si Ning aside, but Nan Si Ning clearly didn't want to talk to him, so he had to give up.
After Nan Sining returned to his courtyard, he first washed the little beast with water, and the little beast's leather armor immediately became more like black jade.
Then he took out the spiritual food that his third senior brother had made before, ate it with the little beast, and then had a good sleep.
When she woke up, she felt a little noisy outside. She concentrated her spiritual power in her ears and enhanced her hearing. Then she heard that her seventh senior sister had successfully established her foundation.
Nan Si Ning was delighted and hurriedly pulled the little beast up and said, "Come on, let's go see Seventh Senior Sister and congratulate her while we're at it!"
The little beast was still in a daze when Nan Sining pulled him out of the door.
The senior brothers and sisters were all in Hua Shengqing's yard, and Nan Sining was the last to arrive.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Nan Si Ning said to Hua Shengqing, "Congratulations, Seventh Senior Sister! You are now at the Foundation Establishment stage! Luo Qingyao can't beat you!"
Nan Sining knew very well the pain in Hua Shengqing's heart.
Hua Shengqing smiled even more happily and said, "It's a pity that during the sect competition, the foundation building stage can't be compared with the Qi refining stage, so the task of punishing Luo Qingyao will be left to you, Junior Sister."
Nan Si Ning pulled the little beast to sit down and said, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I'm here! She chased me and beat me in the secret realm, now it's my turn to chase her and beat her!"
Hua Shengqing was indeed coaxed into happiness.
"But she is so badly injured, can she still participate in the competition?" Liang Xiao asked weakly.
Hua Shengqing rolled her eyes. "Fourth Senior Brother, your old habit of being gentle and considerate of women has come back, hasn't it? With Luo Qingyao's tendency to love the spotlight, would she be willing to miss out on an opportunity like the competition?"
Nan Sining also felt that Luo Qingyao would participate, not for any other reason, but simply because she was the protagonist.
The sect competition is Luo Qingyao's chance to shine. It is her chance to make a big splash in the sect, overshadowing Qin Sangyue, the senior sister of Cijian Peak, and replace her to become the number one female cultivator in Canglan Sect.
How could Luo Qingyao miss such an important time node?
Moreover, Luo Qingyao was injured like that, but she was still able to leave Yaowang City. This might also be the arrangement of the plot.
Nan Si Ning also said coldly: "When she is outside, there will be a lot of male cultivators serving her attentively, even in the Strange Fire Secret Realm. After returning to the Canglan Sect, all the senior brothers and junior brothers in the sect are rushing to do things for her and show their courtesy to her. I am afraid that Luo Qingyao will not take Fourth Senior Brother's concern seriously."
Liang Xiao felt uncomfortable, but Hua Shengqing felt refreshed from the bottom of her heart. What the junior sister said wasn't the point; the key was her tone. How could it be so sarcastic and cunning? Hua Shengqing really wanted to learn from her!
Hua Shengqing was about to add a few words when Qin Sangyue stopped her with a look.
"The sect competition is just around the corner, and we really need to make some good arrangements," Qin Sangyue turned the topic back to business.
