Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

At this moment, Chao Jin spoke up: "With the Phoenix Fire, the Jingyuan Mountain chariot can be fully driven, and even the quality of your pills can be improved."

Wang Yangyin kept a distance from others, but his attitude toward the person beside him was very polite; he nodded in agreement: "What the Peak Master says is correct."

"In that case, our Chi Huo Peak shall claim the first merit!"

"Don't get complacent too early; the Seven Great Immortal Peaks have always competed fiercely."

"Right now, we should still find some disciples as soon as possible to try refining..."

Fire is divided into three types: mortal fire, spirit fire, and divine fire.

The most common of these is mortal fire, which is the fire used by mortals.

Such as firewood fire, stove fire, and the like.

As for spirit fire, it refers to flames that carry a certain danger and require the use of spiritual power or magic power to activate.

Such as yin fire, yang fire, Zixiao Ember Flames, or flames born from consuming spiritual power and magic power.

As for divine fire, it is divided into two qualities: heaven-born and earth-born.

All are rare in the world and very difficult to encounter.

Such as True Sun Fire, Southern Ming Li Fire, and the like; every single one is extremely terrifying.

The Phoenix Fire before everyone's eyes, also known as Nirvana Fire, lies between spirit fire and divine fire.

If used properly, it will bring endless benefits to the entire Chi Huo Peak, and even to everyone in the entire Dongting Immortal Sect.

After all, talent determines a cultivator's floor, while resources determine their ceiling.

In a situation where I have what he lacks, the one who has it will naturally develop better; this is beyond doubt.

For the current situation fraught with all kinds of problems, this counts as a piece of good news.

In this way, Chi Huo Peak's weight among the Seven Great Immortal Peaks, and even within the Immortal Sect, will further increase.

Bei Qingtang saw this and secretly thought: "Spirit plants are the foundation of the Immortal Dao; when Master breaks through to the Spirit Transformation stage, Qingmu Peak's status will remain as it was even if it does nothing."

Suddenly, a fragrant breeze blew over.

Xu Zhangqing turned his head to look, but only saw two mounds about to burst forth, giving him a huge fright; he hurriedly retreated a step, then raised his gaze.

Only then did he discover the newcomer was Qiu Xiao of the Qiu Family from Sorrowful Wind Cliff — the one two meters tall.

She came to a position slightly behind between himself and Eldest Senior Sister, the corner of her mouth curling into a confident and alluring smile.

Bei Qingtang marveled inwardly at her best friend's scale, then said in a low voice: "What is it?"

Qiu Xiao hooked the corner of her mouth, emitting a mature woman's sexy voice: "With the Phoenix Fire's emergence, Chi Huo Peak's status instantly soars, estimated to be second only to the number-one ranked Xuanming Peak."

At this, Bei Qingtang shrugged, saying indifferently: "Chi Huo Peak and Qingmu Peak never cared about rankings to begin with; even if we took first place, so what?"

Qiu Xiao revealed a playful smile, then raised an eyebrow: "The Sect Leader position is about to become vacant; the Seven Great Peak Masters and various Elders are all vying for it openly and secretly — do you think you can stay out of it?"

Bei Qingtang opened her mouth, but for a moment could not refute.

Qiu Xiao continued: "Your Master didn't go into seclusion early, didn't go late — why did she pick precisely this time?"

Bei Qingtang shook her head, seemingly not intending to argue.

Seeing this, Qiu Xiao looked toward the honest-looking Xu Zhangqing at the side and asked with a smile: "You should be the Sixth Disciple newly accepted by Mu Ji Zhenjun, right?"

Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "Yes."

Qiu Xiao sized him up and down while saying: "As things stand, among the Seven Great Immortal Peaks, those qualified to contend for the Sect Leader position are: one is Xuanming Peak, one is Shuixian Peak, and then there are Chi Huo Peak and Qingmu Peak."

The Xuanming Peak Master is an ultimate old monster; no one knows how long he has lived. It is said he reached the Void Refinement stage long ago, and his strength is unfathomable.

The Shuixian Peak Master, Yin-Yang Venerable Li Wudao, possesses dual water-and-fire spirit roots, implicitly containing the Yin-Yang Great Dao; it is said he has already perfectly mastered the Canglan Mirror Fragment.

The Qingmu Peak Master, although having the wood spirit root's common ailment — being unskilled in combat.

Yet this person has comprehended the Great Dao of Life, and is now about to enter the Spirit Transformation stage; it is said she has formed an extremely deep connection with Qingmu Peak.

The Chi Huo Peak Master Chao Jin before us appears on the surface to have only an ordinary fire spirit root, but in terms of aptitude, comprehension, and talent, this person has made up for the shortcomings, and even frequently goes to the Tai Xu Lie Yuan to fight and kill, where he has already made a particularly great name for himself.

Under normal circumstances, Xu Zhangqing should take the initiative to ask, letting the other party continue.

However, as a veteran Lao Liu, he deeply understands the principle of not offending people.

After all, the Qiu Family is backed by the Dynasty and Sorrowful Wind Cliff; there are Core Disciples of theirs in every major Xianfeng.

Casually saying a sentence or two, teasing a bit, is naturally of no consequence — no one would even care.

But he is different; if he so much as says the wrong thing and displeases the big shots before him, Qingmu Peak will be scolded along with him.

Therefore, the best method right now is to shut up and pretend he didn't hear.

Only, in his heart, Xu Zhangqing was very curious: why, among the Seven Great Immortal Peaks, were only these four peaks' masters qualified to become the next Sect Master of Dongting Immortal Sect?

Clearly Jin Gang Peak is more skilled in killing.

Tiexue Peak is fearless and brave.

Hou Tu Peak has a better grasp of core arrays.

No matter how you look at it, all Seven Great Immortal Peaks' masters should have this qualification, yet the sexy mature woman two meters tall beside him has a different idea.

Unless she has some inside information, knowing things others don't.

Just at this time, Chao Jin up front casually waved a hand, vast magic power circulating out, directly enveloping this mass of flowing Phoenix Fire.

At the same time, at a speed visible to the naked eye, it underwent an astonishing change.

First were those twelve Red-gold Fire Snakes; originally they were intertwined, forming a pattern like an eye, but as time passed, they actually began to bite each other's tails.

In an instant they formed a closed loop, or rather transformed into a complete red-gold light ring.

As a result, the Phoenix Fire, which already contained intense high temperatures, burned even more fiercely.

Surging heat waves swept out in all directions; many people in the surroundings were affected, and some of them could not even endure this impact, retreating and flying backward uncontrollably one after another.

As an Earth Grade Golden Core, even though he was only at the Early Stage, Xu Zhangqing was still able to withstand it.

However, he still pretended to be unable to bear it, taking advantage of the opportunity to retreat a distance of at least a hundred meters, looking entirely like he was ready to escape at any moment.

Qiu Xiao saw this and couldn't help but tease: "I say, Tangtang, your Sixth Junior Brother looks like he has a bit of a small gut!"

Bei Qingtang turned her head to glance at him and said helplessly: "No choice, my Sixth Junior Brother only likes farming and cultivating spirit plants with all his heart; he has hardly ever fought."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Xiao laughed with a heh: "Oh my, this kind of little virgin male is the easiest to train; why not send him to Sorrowful Wind Cliff or Tiexue Peak, let me properly..."

Bei Qingtang's face sank, her gaze turning sharp in an instant: "Junior Brother Xu already has a family; you had best not make such jokes recklessly."

Qiu Xiao froze for a moment; this was still the first time she had seen her best friend protect a man like this, and she couldn't help but look at Xu Zhangqing a couple more times.

"Who is that person?"

"Why does Immortal Maiden Xiaoxiao keep staring at that fellow?"

"This person's appearance is ordinary, and his strength is even more ordinary!"

Many people in the surroundings saw this and began evaluating with sour envy one after another!
