The Grand Elder’s voice was extremely stern.
Suppressed instantly by the Grand Elder, Shen Tuo still looked up at Qin Xuan, unconvinced.
It was clear that he indeed wanted to compete with Qin Xuan.
“Dare to act rashly again, and this old man will directly slap you to death!”
The Grand Elder spoke with authority.
Hearing this, Shen Tuo finally quieted down, but his gaze towards Qin Xuan carried a chilling killing intent.
It was evident that he truly harbored a deep hatred for Qin Xuan.
This left Qin Xuan somewhat puzzled.
He had no grudges with Shen Tuo, so why did he want to kill him so badly?
All he did was humiliate Blood Peak a bit; was that really enough for such animosity?
Qin Xuan shook his head, a bit confused.
But soon, he smiled at Shen Tuo.
“Good, very good, I thought you just wanted a worthy opponent, but now it seems your mind isn’t quite sharp enough.”
Qin Xuan said mockingly, his eyes full of killing intent.
Their gazes met, and Shen Tuo froze, then sneered.
“Today, the Grand Elder is here, and I’ll give the Grand Elder Face by letting you off, but I warn you, don’t be complacent for too long. Once we leave here, I’ll make you regret it.”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan chuckled softly and nodded towards Shen Tuo.
“Alright, how about this: if you really want to fight, then ten days from now, you and I will have a life-and-death battle!”
“Let’s see if you dare to accept the challenge!”
Qin Xuan said, looking mockingly at the other party.
Hearing Qin Xuan say this, Shen Tuo, who had originally thought Qin Xuan was going to flee, was stunned, but he quickly reacted and nodded repeatedly towards Qin Xuan.
“Good, very good, then it’s settled. If you don’t dare to accept the challenge, then don’t blame us from Blood Peak for coming to your door.”
After speaking, Shen Tuo bowed to the Grand Elder.
“Please, Grand Elder, be our witness.”
Hearing this, the Grand Elder’s expression became somewhat grim.
In fact, he absolutely did not want them to fight.
After all, Qin Xuan previously had the strength to fight above his Rank, and this Shen Tuo was a Heavenly Profound Ninth Level Disciple known as Blood Blade.
Among the Disciples most likely to be chosen for the expedition, Shen Tuo and Qin Xuan were naturally the top contenders.
He just hadn’t expected that these two now seemed intent on a fierce Dragon-Tiger struggle.
Although he wanted to protect both of them, seeing the killing intent in Qin Xuan’s and Shen Tuo’s eyes, he understood that these two were already irreconcilable.
“Although I still hope you can both fight for our Azure Green Sect, since both of you wish for a battle, then I am naturally willing to be the guarantor.”
“Then let it be tomorrow. Before the selection of these hundred people tomorrow, you two will have your life-and-death battle first.”
After speaking, the Grand Elder flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.
“Hmph!”
With a cold snort, Shen Tuo also left, and the direction he took seemed to be Blood Peak.
Qin Xuan, however, shook his head disdainfully.
But he didn’t rush back to Lei Yun Peak; instead, he turned and went to the Earth Vein Fire.
The Black Spiritual Fire he had previously collected into the Refining God Cauldron had already been completely devoured. Since he was going to the Kun Peng Nest this time, it was a good opportunity to collect more Spiritual Fire, both to raise the Rank of his fire seed and to use against enemies.
After careful consideration and confirming there were no issues, Qin Xuan hurried to Dan Peak.
After first reporting his safety to Jiang Dan and Ge Dan and chatting for a while, Qin Xuan used the excuse of Alchemy to go to the Alchemy room.
Skillfully setting up the Formation, Qin Xuan then walked into the passage.
At this point, the Blue Spiritual Fire no longer posed any threat to him.
As a Chaotic Body, and with a fire seed inside him, the temperature of these Blue Spiritual Fires felt like mere tickles to him.
Qin Xuan stopped only when he reached the end of the Blue Spiritual Fire in one go.
“Ahead is the Black Spiritual Fire. This time, I must see how much Black Spiritual Fire the fire seed can devour at most.”
Qin Xuan pondered, took a deep breath, and strode into the cave where the Black Spiritual Fire resided.
Looking at the coiled Profound Dragon Spirit Fire, Qin Xuan exhaled, a hint of excitement in his heart.
The strength of this thing was indeed formidable, but similarly, if he could completely refine it, even if he couldn’t subdue the Crimson Flame Sky Severing Sword, it would still be of great help to him.
Not to mention, there was even a trace of True Dragon Essence Blood at the center of this Black Spiritual Fire.
“I already have Kun Peng Essence Blood in my body; if I can also subdue the Kun Peng Essence Blood, my improvement will certainly be significant.”
Temporarily suppressing these thoughts, Qin Xuan calmed down.
The immediate priority was still to first devour and refine a portion of the Spiritual Fire.
Thinking this, Qin Xuan immediately approached the Spiritual Fire and quickly used his Taihuang Aura to cut off a piece of Spiritual Fire from the Profound Dragon flames, then used the Refining God Cauldron to collect this piece of Spiritual Fire into the Refining God Cauldron.
“Buzz!”
The Refining God Cauldron shook, containing the large piece of Spiritual Fire that tried to break free.
“Roar!”
The Profound Dragon Spirit Fire instantly roared and looked at Qin Xuan.
Although Qin Xuan had only cut off a little over a zhang of the Spiritual Fire’s body, it was naturally nothing compared to its hundreds of zhang long body.
But having its body cut off like this was naturally extremely infuriating to the Spiritual Fire.
It immediately roared and charged towards Qin Xuan.
“Kunpeng appear!”
Qin Xuan immediately mobilized the trace of Kun Peng Essence Blood within him, manifesting the form of a Kunpeng in front of him.
Before the Profound Dragon Spirit Fire could react, Qin Xuan left with the Spiritual Fire.
“Hoo!”
Retreating to the secret chamber, Qin Xuan wore a triumphant smile.
“Next is to refine these Black Spiritual Fires. The fire seed has already devoured Black Spiritual Fire before, so this time it should be much faster than the last.”
A small black tree flew out from Qin Xuan’s Dantian and immediately transformed into flames, beginning to devour this zhang-long Spiritual Fire.
With the previous experience of devouring, the speed at which the fire seed devoured the Spiritual Fire this time was significantly faster.
In almost no time, the fire seed had devoured all of the Spiritual Fire.
“It only took about an hour. The growth rate of the fire seed is indeed astonishing!”
It was somewhat unexpected for Qin Xuan that this zhang-long Black Spiritual Fire was devoured completely by the fire seed in less than an hour.
He truly hadn’t expected the fire seed to grow so quickly.
“Time to fleece it a bit more!”
Qin Xuan rubbed his hands and continued to delve into the Earth Vein, repeating the process.
This time, he directly cut off three zhang of Spiritual Fire.
Devouring three zhang of Black Spiritual Fire wasn’t as quick, but after four or five hours, the fire seed still swallowed all of it.
