Chapter 23: Fire Devourer



In the silent forest, a white light suddenly flashed, and then a figure fell heavily.

Lu Qingyuan didn't expect that what Feng Shao threw at her was a rare teleportation magic weapon. The moment she was wrapped in white light, she felt dizzy, as if she had turned hundreds of times in an instant. When the teleportation finally ended, she felt as if she was grabbed by a big hand out of thin air and then thrown to the ground.

The next moment, she felt her body hit the ground hard, and her limbs seemed to fall apart. The strong impact made her feel as if her internal organs were displaced, and she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

After lying on the ground for a long time, Lu Qingyuan finally recovered. She stood up slowly, her eyes blank.

She didn't know where she was teleported to, but she knew that teleportation magic weapons were extremely rare and were used by many people to save their lives at critical moments. Even though Feng Shao was the Holy Son of Taiwei Sect, he should have only one teleportation magic weapon in his hand. But he used the teleportation magic weapon on himself, so what about him? How could he escape?

Looking back over the years, Feng Shao was like a big patriarch, taking good care of every fellow disciple in the sect. Feng Shao almost never refused other people's requests for help, and always tried his best to help. When encountering danger, Feng Shao always stayed behind to cover for everyone. Sometimes the enemies he encountered were much stronger than him, but he always took it all on himself.

This time when Feng Shao went down the mountain, his purpose of obtaining the Bifang Flame was not for himself, but for the sect, so that the sect could have its own alchemy pavilion and foundry, and so that the disciples of Taiwei Sect could use better elixirs and weapons.

Lu Qingyuan couldn't help but squat down, buried her head in her legs, and sobbed.

It was not until this moment that she suddenly realized that, in fact, she had never understood this head master over the years.

She knew that the person who stole the Bifang Flame was her junior brother Ye Chen. She was puzzled by Ye Chen's behavior, but Ye Chen was her only junior brother after all, and she chose to protect Ye Chen out of selfishness, but she ignored how much damage Ye Chen's behavior had caused to the sect.

She even ignored Feng Shao's contributions to the sect and the high hopes he placed on her.

She finally realized that she was wrong, and very wrong.

But, does she still have a chance to gain Feng Shao's forgiveness?

——————————

Ye Chen, who successfully snatched the Bifang Flame, was filled with joy that was almost indescribable.

Haha! The Bifang Flame that so many people have worked so hard to obtain is now in my hands! This natural treasure is mine! This opportunity is mine!

After grabbing the Bifang Flame, Ye Chen quickly fled away, flying hundreds of miles before finally stopping in a dense forest. After making sure that no one was catching up with him, he couldn't wait to open the red gourd to see what was inside.

But as soon as he opened the red gourd, a wave of heat rushed towards him. Ye Chen was shocked and threw the red gourd aside.

However, a raging flame had already burst out from the red gourd, instantly igniting the surrounding flowers, plants and trees. Bifang was originally the essence of plants and trees, and its unique spiritual fire could burn all the plants in the world. In an instant, a raging flame soared into the sky, and the dense forest suddenly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Ye Chen had never expected that the red gourd contained a raging fire. His carelessness caused such a huge fire, which made him panic for a while. Seeing the raging fire about to burn him, he didn't know whether to retreat or take the risk and put the red gourd away.

Just when he didn't know what to do, a slightly old laugh suddenly sounded above Ye Chen's head.

"What a reckless kid you are! You actually set such a big fire! If you want to burn yourself, just burn yourself. Why did you run into the woods to burn yourself?"

Ye Chen subconsciously looked up and saw an old man in ragged clothes sitting on a branch, holding a wine gourd in one hand and drinking leisurely. Facing the blazing flames not far away, the old man seemed to be not paying any attention to it, but observing it with relish.

"This fire is not ordinary, it is almost catching up with the Six Yang Spirit Fire! Boy, where did you get this fire?" The old man lowered his head and asked Ye Chen with a smile.

Ye Chen looked embarrassed and hesitantly said: "This gourd... I bought this gourd from Linglong Pavilion. I don't know what is in this gourd, nor do I know where this fire came from."

In fact, the moment the flames burst out, Ye Chen guessed the origin of the fire. The fire taken from Bifang Plain, what else could it be but the flame of Bifang?

But he couldn't explain the origin of the Bifang Flame, so he simply denied knowing it.

The old man looked at Ye Chen with interest and said with a smile: "You are lucky, kid. You can get such a rare treasure just by buying a gourd. It's really rare..."

At this point, the old man suddenly said "Huh". He jumped down from the tree and looked around Ye Chen. Ye Chen was frightened by his gaze, but he dared not move. Because he had discovered that the old man was actually in the Golden Core Realm, and seemed to be about to enter the Spiritual Transformation Realm. A senior master of this realm was not someone Ye Chen could afford to provoke.

After looking at Ye Chen, the old man was amazed: "You, kid, are really lucky! Boy, let me ask you, when you go out, do you often pick up good things?"

Ye Chen couldn't help but be shocked: "How did you know?"

The old man laughed and said, "Since you can see your luck, isn't it easy to guess such a small matter? You are a good kid. I like you very much."

At this point, the old man was filled with emotion: "I didn't expect that at my old age, I would still meet a lucky child. This shows that God has been very kind to me."

Ye Chen was confused by the old man's words and had a lot of questions in his mind. But looking at the fire that was burning more and more vigorously, Ye Chen couldn't help but remind him: "Senior, do you have any way to put out this fire? If you don't put out the fire, I'm afraid the forest will be burned down!"

The old man smiled and said, "You are a kind-hearted boy. You even know how to put out fires. Don't worry. With me here, I can put out a forest fire in a snap! But before that, we have to get the gourd back first."

The old man laughed loudly and dashed into the flames. He seemed to be covered with a shield, and the raging flames could not hurt him at all. He shuttled quickly in the flames and soon came to the location of the red gourd. He picked up the red gourd, covered it with the lid, and flashed out of the flames in a moment.

The old man moved forward and backward so fast that Ye Chen could hardly see clearly.

The old man threw the red gourd to Ye Chen and said with a smile: "Next, I will show you how I, an old man, put out the fire!"

After saying that, he turned around and swung his arms in a circle, like a Tai Chi practitioner. I don't know what method the old man used, but as his gestures kept changing, the flames in the dense forest slowly shrank. The blazing flames that had originally soared into the sky seemed to have become a toy in the hands of the old man. But in just a moment, the blazing flames turned into small flames, and finally with a "hiss", the small flames quietly extinguished.

Ye Chen could not help but be stunned. Although he guessed that the other party was a senior master, he did not expect that he could use this method to put out the fire.

The old man said proudly: "How is it? Isn't this trick of mine, 'all-encompassing', quite cool?"

"All-encompassing?" Ye Chen was shocked. "All-encompassing is the secret of our Taiwei Sect. How did you use this trick, senior?"

"Oh? Are you also from Taiwei Sect?" the old man asked in surprise.

After hearing what the old man said, Ye Chen didn't understand what the old man meant. So he asked quickly: "Are you a senior of our sect?"

The old man smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I am also from Taiwei Sect. The current head of Taiwei Sect has to call me Uncle Master when he sees me!"

Ye Chen was now feeling anxious. This Bifang Flame was snatched from Feng Shao and others, which was equivalent to snatching something that belonged to Taiwei Sect. Now that it was seen by the seniors of this sect, wouldn't it be like catching a thief and seizing the stolen goods?

So we must never let the other party know the true origin of the Bifang Flame!

Ye Chen was thinking about how to fool the old man, but he heard the old man say: "You are born with a fire-eating body, and there is such a spiritual fire here. I have to say that you are really lucky. Since you are a junior of our sect, I will lend you a helping hand!"

Ye Chen was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, the old man stretched out his hand and grabbed the red gourd. Then he shouted, "Boy, what are you waiting for? Open your mouth quickly!"

Without waiting for Ye Chen to express his opinion, the old man stuffed the mouth of the gourd directly into Ye Chen's mouth. The next moment, Ye Chen felt a hot stream like magma rushing down his throat and into his internal organs. Ye Chen tried to take the gourd off, but the old man held the gourd with one hand and Ye Chen's head with the other, not allowing Ye Chen to break free.

At this moment, Ye Chen felt miserable. Even though the Bifang Flame was a good thing, the temperature was very high. If it went directly into the stomach, most people would have had their intestines ruptured. As Ye Chen had a body that could devour fire, he was not afraid of the fire burning in his body, but it really hurt!

Ye Chen even felt that his internal organs might have been cooked!

Ye Chen even felt a little regretful.

Why would I steal it when I have nothing better to do?
