Chapter 86: Three-Legged Green Fire Copper Furnace

Leaving the Long Mansion, Long Ye and Qin Jiang got into a carriage and rushed toward the Copper Bell Sect.

On the road, passing through a wide street, Long Ye lifted the carriage curtain, "Fourth Brother, look, this is the most prosperous East Market in Ning'an, and its area is larger than the other three markets combined.

All the storefronts here belong to our Long Family, and the tax money received every year is about seventy or eighty thousand taels.

Big Brother asked me to tell you, from now on, half of the tax money here will be yours."

Qin Jiang was stunned upon hearing this, "Give it to me?"

Long Ye nodded, "Of course, you have to have some expenses when you do things on weekdays, even if you don't use it, just treat it as pocket money."

Hiss~ Even though Qin Jiang already had a Fearless Heart, he couldn't help but be somewhat shocked.

One had to know, he had looted the entire Luoshan City and only managed to get fifty thousand taels, and now this was directly giving nearly forty thousand taels.

It was truly giving too much.

The carriage continued to move forward, not fast, so much so that many people noticed this young man sitting in the same carriage as the Third Master of the Long Family.

Some directly took paper and pen to draw him, so as not to fail to recognize him if they met in the future.

After walking for a long time, the carriage stopped.

Getting off the carriage, Qin Jiang looked forward; two huge yellow copper pillars stood in front of the mountain gate, and the towering mountain behind was shrouded in clouds and mist, unable to see the peak at a glance.

This was exactly that mountain built against the mountain in Ning'an County, named Tong Mountain.

Thin clouds and smoke wandered between the mountains, and the situation inside could not be seen clearly.

This was very abnormal; his eyesight was very good, and it stood to reason that such thin clouds and mist could not block his gaze no matter what.

It seemed there should be something like an array formation.

He had also learned about the existence of array formations from Long Yuesheng's mouth before; when Black Mountain City was besieged by Weird Mist, it was because there were ancient array patterns engraved in Black Mountain City that blocked the Weird Mist.

"Let's go, go in and see," Long Ye laughed.

Passing through the copper pillars, the surrounding field of vision suddenly became clear, and that feeling of blurriness disappeared.

"Look, that is the main peak of the Copper Bell Sect, the peak top is where the Sect Leader is, and the two major side peaks beside it are the two major source artifacts in the sect, which are Copper Bell Peak and Qinghuo Peak, and the one we are going to later is Qinghuo Peak."

Long Ye pointed to the three mountain peaks in the distance and said.

Qin Jiang looked in the direction his finger pointed; above the main peak in the middle, there were six layers of clouds and mist overlapping, like a crown.

On its left and right sides, the mountain peak on the left released golden brilliance, while the mountain peak on the right vaguely had green fire burning.

"Besides these three major peaks, there are some smaller mountain peaks, basically all of which are Peak Masters for the elders and protectors in the sect," Long Ye said.

Then he pointed to one of them, "Look, that is my Yewang Peak."

Qin Jiang looked over and saw that among the many mountain peaks, one mountain peak was extremely conspicuous.

After all, this was the only bare mountain peak among so many mountain peaks, and there were not many people.

Other mountain peaks could vaguely see some popularity, only this one felt very desolate.

"How is it? Let me tell you, in this Yewang Peak, there is a Great Demon-level Bee Queen I cultivated, and the royal jelly produced is delicious... uh, a very rare resource!" Long Ye said seriously.

After finishing, he waved his hand, "Forget it, when there is a chance, I will take you in to see. Let's go, go to the main peak."

The two walked for a while and arrived at the foot of the main peak.

Qin Jiang looked and saw large areas of houses around, roughly divided into inner and outer circles.

"The outer circle here is where the outer disciples are, basically all disciples who practice ordinary True Martial Arts.

If you can practice high-level True Martial Arts, you can become an inner disciple and move to the inner circle.

There is a Source Gathering Array arranged by the Sect Leader here; the closer to the inner circle, the faster the cultivation speed," Long Ye said.

Qin Jiang raised his hand slightly, as if he wanted to grab something, but he couldn't grab it no matter what, "What is this? A very strange feeling."

Long Ye looked at Qin Jiang with some surprise upon hearing this, but thinking of Qin Jiang's strength that could be called perverted, he felt relieved.

"Source Qi. You haven't absorbed Secret Martial Source Power yet, and being able to sense its existence is already very powerful.

Normally speaking, only after absorbing Secret Martial Source Power will one sense the existence of Source Qi.

I think it should be that the Source Gathering Array here has increased the concentration of Source Qi, so you can sense it," he said.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly; indeed, before coming here, he didn't have this feeling.

"What exactly is this Secret Martial Source Power?" he asked. In the booklet of the Green Fire Copper Furnace Art, the vast majority was content about cultivation, and the rest of the content was very little.

Long Ye pondered for a moment upon hearing this, "The cultivation of Secret Martial Arts has already involved the essential power of the heavens and earth, and this essential power is the fundamental existence of Secret Martial Arts cultivation; we call it Secret Martial Source Power.

However, I heard Big Brother say before that Secret Martial Source Power is actually a derivative power called Source Law, and the true essence of Secret Martial Arts cultivation is actually mastering Source Law.

Compared with ordinary Source Qi, you can look at Secret Martial Source Power as a general leading soldiers, and the Source Qi you sense now is the soldiers; only under the leadership of the general can the power of the army be combined into one."

Qin Jiang nodded as if he understood.

'Source Law, is this the so-called Origin Atlas? Something more essential than Secret Martial Source Power.'

"Alright, don't think too much, the more you cultivate, the more you understand; many things, if you don't cultivate to that step, cannot be described in words," Long Ye said.

Qin Jiang nodded; it was true, as long as you walked on the road, sooner or later you would see the scenery at the end of the road.

The two passed through the building complex at the foot of the mountain and walked toward the mountain; not long after, they arrived at the mountainside.

It looked relatively deserted here, with only dozens of wooden houses built casually in various places.

"Every wooden house here represents a Secret Martial Artist, but they rarely stay here, basically all going to do missions. After all, resources are not supplied infinitely," Long Ye said.

Qin Jiang looked at these wooden houses with some surprise; forty-seven.

This meant that just at the Secret Martial Artist level, the Copper Bell Sect had as many as forty-seven! Worthy of being a sect that could control the land of a county!

Long Ye pointed to one of the wooden houses that still looked somewhat new, "That is newly built for you. However, on weekdays, you had better live in the mansion; the conditions here are not very good, besides the Source Qi being rich, there is nothing else.

Then you can take some missions to hunt down Secret Martial fugitives or kill demons and Weirdness on the mission board at the foot of the mountain to hone your combat skills.

As for resource-type missions, you don't need to take them; if you lack anything, just go to the Long Blood Building in the mansion to get it.

What the Copper Bell Sect has, we basically all have, and for those we don't have, the points from hunting missions are enough to exchange for them."

After finishing, he walked toward one of the relatively large wooden houses, took out a thin booklet, and wrote for a moment.

"By the way, where is your hometown? Black Mountain City?" he said.

Qin Jiang was stunned upon hearing this, then recalled carefully, but the memories of his early years had long been blurred; he only remembered that he and his sister were not locals of Black Mountain City.

"Just write Black Mountain City."

Long Ye nodded, and after recording, he put down the booklet, then took out a token from inside.

"This is your True Disciple token," he said.

Qin Jiang took the token and looked at that wooden house with some surprise; he clearly sensed that there was someone inside.

"Can you issue a True Disciple token without practicing the Green Fire Copper Furnace Art?"

"It's fine, I am at least the Second Protector, I still have this little bit of privilege," Long Ye raised his chin and laughed.

"Alright, let's go to Qinghuo Peak," he continued.

Not long after, the two arrived at the foot of Qinghuo Peak; just standing here, they felt a heat wave rushing toward them.

"You go up, I won't go over; after practicing the sixth layer of the Green Fire Copper Furnace Art, you can't get close to the Green Fire Copper Furnace, otherwise it will trigger the green fire inside."

Long Ye's eyes carried a bit of fear; back then, he didn't believe in evil, and after practicing the sixth layer of the Green Fire Copper Furnace Art, he quietly went up once, but it triggered the green fire in the Green Fire Copper Furnace, almost burning him to death!

If it weren't for Big Brother being in the sect at that time, he might have really died that time!

Qin Jiang nodded, walking up the mountain on foot; the green fire pressure here was extremely heavy, even if he already had strength comparable to a Secret Martial Artist, he could only walk up step by step.

Not long after he left, Long Ye watched Qin Jiang's figure gradually disappear into the mountain.

Suddenly, his pupils widened sharply.

'Bad! Fire-Evading Clothes!'

Fire-Evading Clothes were specifically used to resist green fire; although the green fire when absorbing Secret Martial Source Power was far less than the green fire that burned him that day, it was definitely not something a True Martial Artist could resist!

Without hesitation, he turned and left; right now he had no way to go up, so he could only go back and invite Big Brother; fortunately, there was still time! On Qinghuo Peak, Qin Jiang had not walked for long when suddenly a strong heat wave attacked; he raised his arm to block his eyes and looked toward the mountain peak.

A huge three-legged green copper furnace stood on the mountain peak, looking ancient and weathered, with green flames burning on the surface, and several black chains wrapped around it.

Almost the same moment he saw the Green Fire Copper Furnace, the power in his body began to circulate along the trajectory of the Green Fire Copper Furnace Art.

Wisps of green flames floated from that Green Fire Copper Furnace, drifting toward the direction where he was.
