Chapter 76: The First Different Flame!

In midair.

Yan Wuchen’s face was ashen, his eyes empty like an abyss, and his whole body stood stiff like dead wood.

Master Tai Su saw him so dejected and could not help but shake his head, saying to him, “In the struggle of the Great Dao, winning and losing are ordinary matters.

Since the Ten-Thousand Methods Fate-Suppressing True Scripture has no affinity with you, then there is no need to force it.”

Saying this.

Master Tai Su paused for a moment before continuing, “Unless you are prepared to return to the Central State immediately.

If you plan to stay here in the Medicine King Valley, then you should prepare yourself to participate in the upcoming disciple acceptance ceremony.”

Yan Wuchen closed his eyes to calm his breath, suppressing all the unwillingness and resentment surging within him.

When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was already clear.

At this time.

Yan Wuchen finally cupped his hands to Master Tai Su and said, “This disciple will obey the Master’s orders!”

After speaking.

Yan Wuchen forced a bitter smile and added, “I understand the reasoning, only… after failing at the last step, it’s hard to avoid feeling unwilling.”

“Mm.”

Master Tai Su nodded and said, “Things have come to this point, saying more is useless—better to resolve the matter at hand.”

“Yes, Master.”

Yan Wuchen agreed, slowly descending back onto the arena, retrieving his own magical artifact, the Flowing Clouds Water Veil.

He then cupped his hands to Xu Zhengyang, conceding, and said, “Senior Brother Xu’s Dao techniques are truly profound, I admit defeat wholeheartedly.”

“Thank you for letting me win.” Xu Zhengyang returned the salute.

Then with a wave of his hand, the fire beasts on the arena instantly combusted on the spot and vanished.

Seeing this, Yan Wuchen smiled slightly.

He then turned around to face the guests on the stone platform and said, “Qingzhou produces many talents, and today’s battle has benefited me greatly!

Since Senior Brother Xu of the True Essence Sect has already claimed victory, then let this arena end here!”

Saying this.

Yan Wuchen pointed toward the direction of the Founders’ Hall of Medicine King Valley and said, “In that case.

I invite all honored guests to follow me to the Founders’ Hall to witness my sect’s Inheritance Ceremony!”

…

“Hahahaha, one does not truly know another until crossing hands!”

Hearing this, Chen Qiang walked out of the pavilion, laughing as he said to Yan Wuchen, “Nephew Yan, please lead the way ahead!”

“Nephew Yan, such bearing puts this old man to shame.”

“Nephew Yan, you are too courteous.”

…

After Yan Wuchen lost to Xu Zhengyang.

Although no one could see what he truly thought in his heart, the composure and magnanimity he displayed at this moment were still worthy of praise.

After Yan Wuchen accepted his defeat calmly, the killing intent around the arena immediately dissipated completely.

Even Xu Zhengyang.

After witnessing this, he could not help but think to himself,【This crisis management… worthy of an old monster who reincarnated to cultivate again!】

As Xu Zhengyang thought this.

He immediately collected the formation materials on the arena back into the Jade Gourd and returned to the pavilion of the True Essence Sect.

…

After a long while.

Master Tai Su’s disciple acceptance ceremony ended smoothly, and Yan Wuchen successfully became the direct disciple of the Sect Master of this generation of Medicine King Valley.

…

After attending Master Tai Su’s ceremony, Chen Qiang also used the opportunity to converse with other cultivators of Qingzhou.

Only then did Chen Qiang drive the Golden Rosy Cloud-Crossing Boat away from Medicine King Valley.

After flying all the way to the outside of the Celestial Treasure Pavilion, Chen Qiang said to Xu Zhengyang, “Come, this old man will take you to claim the bounty from the Celestial Treasure Pavilion!”

Hearing this, Xu Zhengyang looked both surprised and honored, and said, “Wouldn’t this trouble Elder Chen too much?”

Hearing this, Chen Qiang felt quite pleased and said, “What trouble is this?

You are just stepping into the world and have never seen a Different Flame before.

If no senior from your sect helps you check, what if someone deceives you?”

After speaking.

Chen Qiang waved his hand, directly leaping with Xu Zhengyang from the deck of the Golden Rosy Cloud-Crossing Boat to the entrance of the Celestial Treasure Pavilion.

“Master, I also—”

Seeing this, Yang Hong was about to follow, but before he could finish speaking, he was glared back by Chen Qiang with great force.

…

Moments later.

As Xu Zhengyang and Chen Qiang stepped into the Celestial Treasure Pavilion, two teams of maids were already lined up at the entrance to welcome them.

“Enough, enough, no need for these useless formalities.”

Chen Qiang waved his hand and went straight to the point, saying, “We are still in a hurry to return to the mountain later.

Where is the steward here?

Quickly bring out the thing you promised my nephew!”

As soon as Chen Qiang finished speaking.

Su Mo slowly walked out from the crowd, first bowing to Chen Qiang and Xu Zhengyang before saying, “This humble one is Su Mo, greets Elder Chen and Young Master Xu.”

As she spoke.

Su Mo gestured invitingly and said, “That item is extremely precious.

I must ask the two honored guests to please move and follow me to the Jiazi Section.”

“Lead the way!” Chen Qiang said.

“Yes.”

Su Mo agreed, and while Chen Qiang was not paying attention, she secretly winked at Xu Zhengyang before walking ahead to lead them.

…

Moments later.

Su Mo led Chen Qiang and Xu Zhengyang to an elegant room carved with beams and painted rafters within the Jiazi Section, and said to them, “Honored guests, please enter.

Manager Xie Pianpian is already waiting inside for you both.”

“Mm.”

Chen Qiang nodded, pushed open the door first, and brought Xu Zhengyang inside.

…

Upon pushing open the door, the interior revealed a whole new world!

As soon as Xu Zhengyang stepped into the room, he felt his vision widen instantly.

How could this be an ordinary cabin?

It was clearly a delicate garden!

Inside were pavilions and winding paths, serene and secluded.

With just a rough estimation, Xu Zhengyang judged that this garden covered dozens of acres, completely different from the external layout of the pavilion!

At this moment.

Xu Zhengyang recalled the faint dizziness when he first entered.

His heart immediately realized,【So that “door” just now was not a door at all, but a transmission restriction?】

Just then.

From a lotus pavilion in the northwest corner of the garden.

A woman, her face veiled by a light gauze, spoke lazily to them, “Honored guests, please come over and drink a few cups of tea.

Wash off the dust of your journey.”

This woman was none other than Xie Pianpian, the manager of the Jiazi Section of the Celestial Treasure Pavilion!

…

Inside the pavilion.

Chen Qiang drained the tea in his cup in one gulp and directly said, “You people encouraged my nephew to cut off Yan Wuchen’s path of cultivation.

Now that my nephew has done it, where is the Spirit-Devouring Wild Flame you promised him?”

“Elder Chen, do not be angry.”

Xie Pianpian smiled charmingly.

With a graceful flip of her hand, a streak of flowing light flashed across the stone table.

Immediately after.

An exquisitely crafted Jade Box appeared on the table out of thin air!

This Jade Box was completely covered in sealing restrictions.

But even so.

Xu Zhengyang could still see flashes of spiritual light surging within it!

Chen Qiang, seeing this, was not polite and lifted one corner of the box, directly sending his Divine Sense inside to inspect it.

After a moment.

Chen Qiang closed the box again, pasted a few Tier 2 Sealing Talismans on the outside, and finally said, “Good, this is indeed the Spirit-Devouring Wild Flame.”

As he spoke.

Chen Qiang handed the Jade Box to Xu Zhengyang and said, “Since that’s the case, then I shall take my leave—until we meet again!”

“Please wait, Elder Chen.”

Xie Pianpian quickly stopped Chen Qiang and said, “This humble woman still has a request, so I must boldly ask Elder Chen to stay and sit for a moment.”

Hearing this, Chen Qiang tossed a Jade Token at Xie Pianpian without even turning his head and said, “This is a Tier 2 Messaging Talisman.

Inside is the mana imprint of Elder Wang from the Guest Hall of the True Essence Sect.

If it’s official business, just state your purpose directly.

If it’s private matters…

Forgive me, but this Chen is too dull to discuss private affairs!”
