Chapter 29: Grandmaster Manifests! The Method of Pill Fire

Just by listening to the description, these directors in the Company conference room simply could not figure out what type of innate ability this was.

It couldn't really be the Grim Reaper, could it?

But for the Company, since an Outsider with this kind of innate ability had appeared, they still had to clarify the ability and then register it on file.

If this kind of ability were to go out of control, even one of the Ten Elders of the Outsider world could not avoid it, so what if it were applied to an ordinary person?

Zhao Zong's gaze swept across everyone's faces, and he roughly guessed what they were thinking.

"Actually, Fang Dong brought out some of the general effects of the ability, though it might not be all of it."

After Zhao Zong finished speaking, he thought for a moment and then said.

"If you have read some literary works, you should understand that there are people with merit attached to them; when someone wants to take action against such a person who possesses great merit, they will suffer a backlash."

Looking at the current situation, it is somewhat similar to this."

"Zhao Zong, does that mean if there is no malice toward him, this ability will not take effect?"

After someone figured it out, they asked.

"Perhaps that is the case; at the very least, this time, as long as the people from the Wang Family appeared to have issues, this Lin Xuan had clashed with Lingyu of the Tianshi Mansion at the birthday banquet, and Lingyu did not experience this situation."

Once these words were spoken, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It is fine as long as there is some understanding; what is feared are those innate abilities that are heaven-defying, uncontrollable, and unknown.

"Then Zhao Zong, can we pull him into the Company? Or find someone to go to Baiyun Guan to understand the specifics?"

Someone suggested.

"We can try!"

Zhao Zong nodded.

The relationship between Baiyun Guan and the Company is quite good.

Compared to other Outsider forces, Baiyun Guan is more stable; usually, the disciples do not descend the mountain unless necessary.

And very few people run around outside.

Most people are in deep cultivation at Baiyun Guan.

For the Company, such an Outsider force is basically a model student.

Even back during the incident with the Ten Elders, Baiyun Guan directly refused.

They simply do not get involved in other matters of the Outsider world.

But because of this, it is also inconvenient for the Company to use other means.

If they don't want to, then one cannot go and force them.

"By the way, there are two snakes beside this Lin Xuan; the one who defeated the murderer Zhao Guizhen this time was one of the Qing She, and its strength is very strong."

Zhao Zong said again.

"Could it be obtained from the Chuma Xian?"

Once snakes were mentioned, everyone thought of the Chuma Xian.

After all, the Snake Immortal and Gray Immortal worshipped by the Chuma Xian are quite famous.

"This should not be the case; Guan Shihua also attended this birthday banquet, yet she did not speak much about it."

Zhao Zong shook his head.

"Since that is the case, Zhao Zong, why don't we just contact Guan Shihua and ask? As the current head of the Guan Family, her Chuma Xian methods are the most powerful, and she should know a lot."

Zhao Zong nodded at this suggestion.

That would be quite good; the Ten Elders, as a semi-official management organization of the Outsider world, were established with the Company's leadership.

The Ten Elders and the Company can also talk to each other.

"Since that is the case, does everyone have anything else? If not, then the meeting is adjourned."

Zhao Zong said.

"Zhao Zong, what about the matter of going to Baiyun Guan?"

Someone spoke up, naturally asking about the candidate.

All the directors were somewhat moved.

If they could pull the person into the Company, such a talent—not to mention anything else—would be enough just for this ability.

"We will talk about that later; wait until the specific news is confirmed. Also, many people attended the birthday banquet this time, and it is estimated that the news will spread before long.

If you discover that the news has changed, you must stop it."

The group of directors felt a bit disappointed upon hearing this, but they all agreed.

After everyone left, Zhao Zong sat down and let out a sigh of relief.

Zhao Guizhen's strength was average, but he put a lot of pressure on Zhao Zong.

The Outsider world does not allow this kind of thing, and the world outside the Outsider world will not allow it even more; if it is not handled well or the person is not caught, and he commits another crime.

Then the impact would be huge, and it might very well change the current state of the Outsider world.

At the very least, it would change the attitude of those above toward the Outsider world.

It is different now; in ancient times, powerful Outsiders could even fight an army alone.

But now, the largest violent institution is the military.

Once they are mobilized, no Outsider can stop them.

Zhao Zong knows this clearly.

Furthermore, who dares to guarantee that there are no Outsiders in the military?

It is fine as it is now; the murderer has been caught, and once the origin of the evil arts is questioned, this matter can be concluded.

……

The next day, Baiyun Guan.

Fang Dongtian led a group of Daoists to gather in the main hall where the Grandmaster was enshrined.

As the bells chimed and the chimes rang, the group of Daoists knelt and bowed along with Fang Dongtian.

"Me?"

Lin Xuan pointed at his own nose, looking at Fang Dongtian.

"Nonsense, if not you, could it be me? It isn't me who condensed an inner elixir."

Fang Dongtian rolled his eyes.

Looking at the finished Talisman in his hand, Lin Xuan nodded, flicked his hand, and a flame ignited to set the Talisman ablaze.

It was then tossed by him into the copper basin in front of him.

This was also considered a way to inform the Grandmaster of his cultivation results.

After the fire burned out, the other Daoists left one after another.

Fang Dongtian and Lin Xuan prepared to leave after offering incense.

Suddenly, a ray of light flew out from the clay statue of the Grandmaster.

Lin Xuan's expression shifted; his figure turned, dodging this ray of spiritual light.

The spiritual light missed its target, paused in the air for a few seconds, and then lunged toward Lin Xuan again.

Lin Xuan frowned, condensed a ball of Qi in his hand, and wrapped the incoming spiritual light within the Qi ball.

But to Lin Xuan's surprise, the spiritual light dissipated immediately upon touching his Qi ball.

Lin Xuan was stunned.

Fang Dongtian's expression changed; he had not expected such an occurrence either.

Luo Daming was even more anxious, stepping forward and about to speak.

"Don't worry, it seems to be a technique bestowed by the Grandmaster!"

Lin Xuan said with some uncertainty.

"Hm?"

Both Fang Dongtian and Luo Daming widened their eyes.

"It is an offensive method for after one has cultivated an inner elixir, the Cinnabar Fire Method; it can be used to harm enemies with Cinnabar Fire, and it can also be used to refine Golden Cores."

Lin Xuan closed his eyes to ponder for a moment before speaking.

"Is the Grandmaster really still here?"

Luo Daming widened his eyes.

"How would I know?"

Lin Xuan spread his hands, indicating that he was just as confused.

Then the two of them looked at Fang Dongtian in unison.

"This old Daoist doesn't know either; I've never experienced such a thing before."

Moreover, the Dan Fire Technique seemed to be recorded in the classics collected in the Guan, but it had been so many years since anyone had cultivated an inner elixir, and such methods that required an inner elixir to be used had long been lost.

To think that he had actually received a technique bestowed by the Grandmaster.

"Let us thank the Grandmaster."

Fang Dongtian remained silent for a long time before speaking.

Lin Xuan naturally would not refuse; he turned around and offered incense again.

Nothing came out this time.

But Luo Daming's expression was clearly much more invigorated.

Although he was the current Daoist Master of Baiyun Guan and could be considered a leader of the Quanzhen Longmen Sect, he had never truly believed that the Grandmaster still existed before.

But one should still be respectful toward the Grandmaster.

Now that the Grandmaster had manifested, Luo Daming was naturally excited.
