Chapter 702

Chief Li held a bowl as big as a head, yet still complained it was too small.

"This is already the biggest bowl."

The three chiefs were naturally worried about Ye Zhangqing's meal, but after all they weren't from the Dao Yi Sect; they had just settled in yesterday, so they felt embarrassed to come eat.

But now that Ye Zhangqing has invited them, the three can't hold back.

They immediately stepped forward, each taking a large bowl, and even the braised beef Ye Zhangqing had just made was instantly emptied by the three.

"Ah, so refreshing.........."

A big mouthful of noodles went down, the rich beef broth mixing with the noodles, simply a kind of enjoyment.

The three couldn't stop, and just as they were wolfing down their food, Li Chengyue, who had just been kicked away by Xu Jie, also gritted his teeth and rushed back.

Mm, it's still that aroma; even before entering the courtyard he could already smell it, Li Chengyue had no hesitation, not caring about his appearance at the moment, he strode in three steps at a time into the courtyard, and at a glance saw his own father squatting in the corner, eating in utter comfort.

"Dad, give me a bite."

This aroma, Li Chengyue has never smelled it in his life; now he just wants to have a bite, even if it's just that one bite.

But regarding this, Chief Li paid no heed to his meaning at all, just kept nodding repeatedly.

"Delicious, delicious."

"Dad, give me a bite."

"Get lost."

Li Chengyue stepped forward wanting to share a bite, but the next second Chief Li kicked him, and Li Chengyue flew up again.

"Dad, you.......... give me a bite."

"What the hell to eat, you've already given up grains, yet you still eat."

He pursed his lips, kicked his own foolish son away, and Chief Li continued to enjoy the food.

One morning, Li Chengyue had already performed two flying feats, just after finishing breakfast, as the Dao Yi Sect members dispersed one after another, they watched Li Chengyue arc across the sky and asked curiously.

"Huh, isn't that the guy from just now?"

"Flying again?"

"Senior Brother Shen Xian, it seems someone has beaten us to the punch."

Originally Shen Xian had planned to give Li Chengyue a hard time, but he hadn't really thought about how; he just wanted to teach him a lesson, after all, who let him be rude to Junior Brother Changqing?

But now it seems there's no need for that.

All that can be said is, no wonder it's his father's strike—this time Li Chengyue flew even higher and farther than before.

They waited for Chief Li and the others to finish eating, but Li Chengyue never appeared again.

Having eaten their fill, the three chiefs had no reservations, washed the bowls, and with smiling faces said to Ye Zhangqing.

"Let's go, Little Friend Ye, everything is already ready."

"Not bad, I three will personally stand guard for you, guaranteeing there will be no problems."

Merging exotic fire carries certain danger, especially the stronger the exotic fire, the higher the danger.

However, with the three chiefs personally intervening, there should be no problem.

But in the end, Hong Zun, Wang Tieshu, and Qing Shi also went along, still feeling uneasy.

The group set off mightily toward the Ice Spring of the Spirit Chef Alliance.

This Ice Spring counts as a cultivation holy land of the Spirit Chef Alliance, formed from a ten-thousand-year cold spring.

The spring water temperature stays at freezing year-round; merging exotic fire within the Ice Spring can increase the success rate.

Needless to say, to let Ye Zhangqing more easily merge the Scarlet Yang Heavenly Flame, the Spirit Chef Alliance has indeed made thorough preparations.

Not only did the three chiefs stand guard, but the Ice Spring was also prepared.

All the way to the depths of the Spirit Chef Alliance, as the main hall's doors opened, a wave of extreme cold rushed toward them.

But with the appearance of the cold, the next second a wave of extreme heat also surged forth.

It gave a feeling of ice and fire in two layers, one side extremely cold, the other side scorching hot.

This is because the three alliance leaders had already brought the Scorching Yang Heavenly Flame to the ice spring, preparing for Ye Zhangqing.

"Alliance Leader."

As everyone arrived, the two vice alliance leaders of the Spirit Chef Alliance who had been guarding here stood up and spoke.

Although they are not Spirit Chefs, they are both genuine Great Saint powerhouses.

They have been guarding here all along, just waiting for Ye Zhangqing's arrival.

"Nothing wrong, right?"

"Everything is normal; we can start anytime."

"Then that's good."

Nothing unexpected has happened; Ye Zhangqing can now attempt to fuse the alien fire at any moment.

At this moment, standing close by the ice spring and watching the golden flame hovering in its center, Ye Zhangqing was still seeing alien fire for the first time.

He couldn't help feeling curious, and moreover, this small cluster of alien fire involuntarily gave Ye Zhangqing a hint of apprehension.

It seemed as if even a random wisp of flame could burn him to ashes.

It is very dangerous; the power of this alien fire absolutely cannot be underestimated.

"Ye Zhangqing, before the alien fire is fused it is extremely violent; even Saints dare not touch it lightly, and during the fusion process there may be pain, which you need to endure."

Even with all the preparations and help from the Spirit Chef Alliance, Ye Zhangqing still has to endure the pain; there is no way around it.

Put simply, the process of fusing the alien fire is actually a process of conquest.

Making the alien fire acknowledge you is a prerequisite for fusion; therefore, before fusion succeeds, this pain is unavoidable.

Alliance Leader Li spoke up to remind him, worried that Ye Zhangqing could not endure the pain of fusing the alien fire, which would ultimately cause his efforts to fall short, a great pity.

But faced with Alliance Leader Li's words, Ye Zhangqing seemed not to have taken them in at all.

His gaze stared blankly at the Scarlet Yang Heavenly Flame before him; he wasn't scared, but the system suddenly stirred at this moment.

【Detected a combustible exotic fire; proceed with fusion?】

Huh???

This system can also help fuse exotic fire?

He completely didn't hear what Leader Li beside him was saying; Ye Zhangqing's mind and spirit were wholly immersed in the system at this moment.

Having chosen to fuse, a mysterious force soon instantly pulled the Scarlet Yang Heavenly Flame directly into Ye Zhangqing's body.

"Young Friend Ye, you needn't worry too much; we've made all preparations, as long as you hold on, there generally won't be any accidents............"

"What about the exotic fire?"

"Old man, where is my huge exotic fire?"

Leader Li was speaking when the other two alliance leaders beside him suddenly shouted oddly; seeing this, Leader Li replied somewhat annoyed.

"What are you doing? Can't you see I'm talking with Young Friend Ye... Damn, where did my Scarlet Yang Heavenly Flame go?"

Leader Li truly didn't see where the Scarlet Yang Heavenly Flame went; he had been talking to himself just now and hadn't noticed at all.

And now, looking above the icy spring, there was no Scarlet Yang Heavenly Flame to be seen.

With so many people present, how could the exotic fire just disappear?

Leader Li gazed suspiciously at the other two alliance leaders; under his stare, they could only say somewhat uncertainly.

"It seems to have entered Young Friend Ye's body."

"I think I saw it too."

Huh???

Did the exotic fire enter Ye Zhangqing's body?

Leader Li turned his head dubiously; this isn't right—the exotic fire went in, yet there's not a hint of movement. This shouldn't be.
