The palace with red bricks and golden pillars is majestic and tall, like an ancient giant lying down and bathing in a hot river of magma.

In the deepest part of the main hall, on top of the high-backed throne, there was a small dragon coiled.

The little dragon was orange-red all over, like condensed lava, with golden light flowing inside its body, and it looked extremely majestic.

It has a dragon head, a dragon tail, and four dragon claws, but its upper body is a turtle body. The surface of its shell is covered with uneven reddish-brown rocks. The rocks are spaced apart, with gaps crisscrossing each other, outlining a well-shaped turtle pattern.

It was the palace spirit of the Lava Fairy Palace - the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit! At this moment, the resting Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit slowly opened his eyes.

It looked up, toward the top of the palace.

The Lava Fairy Palace shook slightly, helping its sight to penetrate the roof of the palace, penetrate the heavy clouds and smoke, and finally saw a vague figure.

It was the mayor of Huoshixian City! In order to prevent the mayor from noticing, Longyuan Huoling did not take a closer look. He immediately changed his mind and began to look downwards.

Its sight was extremely fast, quickly covering the entire Fire Persimmon Fairy City, and spreading all the way to the rich and hot Fire Persimmon Forest at the foot of the mountain, before it came to an abrupt stop.

The golden pupils in the dragon turtle fire spirit's red eyes sparkled.

It intensified its inspection. In its field of vision, the mountain city, forests, residents and other real objects gradually faded, revealing a magnificent formation.

This large formation has two cores, a giant core inside the mountain, and a small core in the city lord's mansion. There are five pillars, located in the residences of the Zhou, Zheng, and Ning families, as well as in the dungeon and the city guard camp.

The large formation was so large that it almost covered the entire Fire Persimmon Mountain. It was also connected to a large number of small formations in the Fire Persimmon Forest at the foot of the mountain.

The formation of the large array went straight down from the top of Huoshi Mountain and was deeply immersed in the mountain.

The turquoise patterns of the Immortal City Array intertwined with each other, like a giant net covering the sky and the earth, locking up the entire Huoshi Mountain. The Immortal Palace was like a bird in a cage.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit snorted. The feeling of being restrained made it very irritated.

It used its front paws to prop itself up and suddenly jumped up.

It has no wings, but it flies swiftly and agilely. It is extremely fast, shuttling through the air like a stream of orange-gold light.

The stream of light drew a brilliant circle of light in the air and then fell back onto the seat.

In an instant, the dragon turtle fire spirit stopped moving and became still. Sparks followed inertia and hit the seat, then splashed all over the dim palace.

The dragon turtle fire spirit vented its frustration a little, then continued to slightly raise its dragon head, looking into the distance, and observing the outside world.

Its attention first focused on the City Lord's Mansion.

At this time, in the mansion, a burly young man with big eyes was sitting cross-legged, actively practicing martial arts.

What was different from usual was that the burly young man was not accumulating magical power, but dispersing it.

He was the grandson of the city lord - Meng Chong! The city lord's message seemed to still echo in Meng Chong's ears.

"Meng Chong, my grandson, I have used the Chance Talisman to draw the energy of the Lava Palace to you! I also lit the Divine Calculation Incense to calculate the best steps."

"Remember, you need to be the first to complete the Five Elements Qi Law and reach the third level of Qi Refining. This is crucial and will give you a huge first-mover advantage. Once you accomplish this step, you are halfway to success. As advantages continue to accumulate, like a snowball, you will gradually leave other competitors behind."

"It's a pity that the Five Elements Qi Law is a Taoist practice. If it were a Buddhist practice, I, your grandfather, would have the Transmutation Pill here."

"Now, you need to disperse your energy as quickly as possible and practice the Five Elements Qi Law again!"

"Someone will send you enough Yangmai Huti Powder. Don't be stingy. Take it all and achieve perfect Qigong as quickly as possible!"

Meng Chong exhaled a breath, his big eyes filled with determination.

The Chance Talisman and the Divine Calculation Incense are both Nascent Soul-level treasures worth millions. With such a huge investment by the Lord of Fire Persimmon City, it can be said that the burden of seizing the Lava Fairy Palace was directly placed on Meng Chong's shoulders.

Meng Chong was filled with fighting spirit! "Grandpa, you have done so much for me. If I can't do it, I will be unworthy of the name Meng!"

“I will definitely win the first place!”

Meng Chong's face was full of determination. He closed his eyes and continued to disperse his energy.

However, his previous cultivation was too high, reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining. It would take more time to disperse his energy at this time.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit slowly shifted its gaze from the City Lord's Mansion to the Zhou family's land.

An underground secret room of the Zhou family.

Zhou Zeshen and Zhou Zhu stood in front of a large formation.

Zhou Zeshen said: "This gathering and dispersing Ruyi Lingxi formation is only owned by our Zhou family in Huoshi Xiancheng."

"Dazhu, next you need to enter this formation to disperse your energy. Then choose the Five Elements Qi Law and start over."

"This formation can help you speed up the dissipation of your power, and it can also help you recover as soon as possible."

“I’m counting on you!”

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

The Zhou family has a deep foundation and ranks first among the three major families. There is no dispute about this.

In order to seize the Lava Fairy Palace, the Zhou family had made many attempts long ago.

Among them, family members Zhou Zeshen and Zhou Zhu were arranged to join the Mud Flow Sect to practice.

The Mud Flow Sect is a rare sect that specializes in mechanical devices. After Zhou Zeshen and Zhou Zhu have completed their studies, they return to the family to wait for orders.

I didn’t expect to wait for the Dharma Bell.

This forces them to make a choice.

After careful consideration, the Zhou family decided to keep Zhou Zeshen and let Zhou Zhu take the risk to practice the Five Elements Qi Law.

Zhou Zhu had no objection to this and said in a muffled voice: "Brother Shen, you are smarter than me. I will do whatever you tell me to do."

"There's no need to feel guilty about me. It's only natural that I contribute to the family!"

Zhou Zhu took a step forward and officially entered the formation.

He did not sit down cross-legged, but stood upright like a tall pillar, solid and simple.

The practice of dispersing energy has begun.

Zhou Zeshen sighed and secretly felt sorry for Zhou Zhu.

Zhou Zhu has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, which is one level higher than him. It would be a huge loss for him to lose the magic power that he had cultivated for many years with great effort.

But there is no other way! The Five Elements Qi Law is likely to be the key to the fight for the Lava Fairy Palace.

This was the first time the Dharma Bell rang, and it caused such a big commotion. This was all showing that the selection method of Lava Fairy Palace had undergone major changes after reaching the Qi Refining Stage! In order to cope with possible changes, the Zhou family chose to be conservative while also making positive attempts.

The formation began to hum, and Zhou Zhu's face showed a hint of pain.

The invisible force generated by the formation forcefully pulled out the mana in Zhou Zhu's body. This inevitably caused damage to Zhou Zhu! But Zhou Zhu himself was a resting body, so as long as he didn't move, vitality would burst out from inside his body, allowing his injuries to recover at full speed.

The formation was helping him to violently disperse his power, while Zhou Zhu's own self-healing ability was also activated, actively repairing the injuries to his meridians.

This is the key factor in choosing Zhouzhu to rebuild.
