After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 118 Tempted

It is clear that each one is extremely difficult to obtain.

It's not impossible to do that, but it would require the top ten sects or the largest family on the continent to release the news. Only those with such top-tier influence could offer a bounty to the entire continent with such a high reward.

That way, we might be able to get news about the new spirit fire within a day!

But the Yue family... definitely can't reach that level!

"Actually, the spirit fire is not something we found recently."

Yue Chao touched his nose, somewhat embarrassed. "That spirit fire has always been in my Yue family. It was obtained by an uncle of the Yue family more than a thousand years ago. Originally, we wanted to find a descendant of the Yue family who could make the spirit fire willingly recognize us as its master, but who knew that so much time has passed and no one has been able to make it recognize us as its master. There were even a few reckless children who were devoured by the spirit fire in order to forcibly recognize us as their master."

The people from the Immortal Sect were taken aback and exchanged glances.

If that's the case, then it makes sense.

The Yue family has long possessed spiritual fire, but spiritual fire is often very domineering, and it is impossible to make it recognize a master unless one is compatible with it.

Therefore, even though the Yue family had obtained the spirit fire long ago, they could only watch helplessly. They were unwilling to sell such a precious thing to others, but wanted their descendants to obtain it.

After all, the Yue family is a family of alchemists. If someone in their descendants were to subdue the spirit fire, the Yue family's strength would be even greater!

Just look at the other owners of spirit fires and you'll see. Even the most unknown person can quickly become famous on the continent as long as they possess a spirit fire, and can even bring fame to an entire family.

For example, there was a rogue cultivator named Zhou Lue who went fishing during his training. However, after entering the water, his legs got tangled in seaweed and he almost drowned.

Unexpectedly, this trip also led to a fortuitous encounter—

He accidentally discovered the trail of the Lingling Fire and subdued it after a near-death experience!

As a result, Zhou Lue rose to fame. He was originally just an orphan with no family support, but now the Zhou family is a medium-sized family!

This is certainly related to Zhou Lue's own methods and mindset, but without the spiritual fire, he certainly wouldn't have reached this point.

If Zhou Lue, who had no foundation, was in such a state after obtaining the spiritual fire, what about the Yue family, who already had some wealth?

"So that's how it is. So your Yue family wanted to save Young Master Yue, and for that you were willing to offer up the Spirit Fire with both hands?" Liu Feng seemed to realize something and asked Yue Chao.

If the Yue family still wants to keep the secret of the Spirit Fire, then the Yue Dynasty will absolutely not reveal its existence.

On the contrary, since they've said it, they should know that with the Yue family's strength, they certainly can't protect the spirit fire.

Yue Chao nodded. "That's right, and it's a last resort. My young master is incredibly talented. He's not even thirty years old yet, but he's already a third-level alchemist. He's only half a step away from the fourth level, and his future achievements will definitely be more than just the sixth level."

Their ancestors were at most at the seventh level. If Young Master Yue can survive, he is very likely to be on par with the ancestors, or even... surpass them!
Compared to a genius, the spirit fire that has remained untamed seems not so bad after all.

Yue Chao looked at Liu Feng and explained, "That's why I wanted to invite Fellow Daoist Liu Shan and his party to come with me to Shihan City. If we can get the spirit fire to recognize us as its master, that would be best. All we need to do is subdue it and heal my young master. If not, that's fine too. Our Yue family will still give everyone five hundred crystals as a token of our gratitude."

Five hundred crystals for just one trip is quite a generous offer.

Moreover, if he could subdue the spirit fire, it would be an even greater joy. Liu Feng was certainly tempted, but at the same time, he was even more puzzled—

It was precisely because the windfall was so huge that he found it illogical.

"Since you're willing to offer your spiritual fire, why not just spread the word? I imagine many people would come to you. Even if you have conditions, you'd still agree. Why go to all this trouble to find someone outside?"

Not to mention returning the crystals!

Upon hearing this, Yue Chao gave a wry smile and shook his head. "You all don't know this, but our patriarch Yue is still alive. That spirit fire is his most prized possession, and he would absolutely not agree to give it away to someone else. Moreover, his health has been poor these past few years, and he has been bedridden. If the news gets out, it will not only alarm the world but also him! We are afraid that he might ruin his health in a fit of anger, so this matter must be handled privately and must not be revealed to the household."

Du Yue frowned. "Isn't your young master favored by him? No matter how good the spirit fire is, is it more important than his life?"

Yue Chao sighed, "To the old master, no one's life is as important as the spirit fire, including his own."

Not to mention a young master.

If the young master were already at the sixth level, with the seventh level within reach, then perhaps the old master would relent after weighing the options.

But the young master is too young now, and is far from reaching the sixth or seventh level. So in the old master's opinion, he is not yet qualified to be compared with the spirit fire.

Therefore, this was a decision made by the head of the family, and he intended to keep it a secret from the old master from beginning to end.

After hearing this, everyone fell silent, silently processing this bombshell news.

A spiritual fire has appeared in the world, and the owner of the spiritual fire has even taken the initiative to invite others to give up the right to subdue it!

This might not happen once in thousands of years, but now it has been placed before them.

The people of the Immortal Sect were naturally excited, and no one could remain calm in the face of the Spirit Fire, because it was a free ability.

With the Spirit Fire, you'll always have something to rely on when fighting others. It's like having a permanent skill that's not afraid of being consumed and has no limits!
Faced with it, who could not be moved, who could not feel their heart pounding?
Du Yue and Meng Ling were the most excited of them all.

One of these two is an alchemist and the other is a weapon refiner. If they were to obtain the spiritual fire, their refining skills would improve dramatically. They would be able to refine things that they knew how to do but couldn't before.

but……

The two exchanged a glance, and although they were excited, neither of them spoke up.

Liu Feng is the strongest person in the team and also has a high seniority. In this matter, only he has the right to make the decision.

Liu Feng then looked at Mo Jiuwei, eager to hear her opinion.

But upon closer inspection... they discovered that Mo Jiuwei had fallen asleep again!
Liu Feng almost laughed out loud, shaking his head helplessly inwardly.

This little guy, how long has he been awake? He just finished eating a fruit and he's already asleep again?
No wonder she hadn't said a word all this time.

Well, they can't rely on Jiuwei for everything. Otherwise, if she's not there, do they just not make any decisions?
“It is indeed a very tempting invitation, but the fruit has a short shelf life, and we need to go back to deliver the fruit to our relatives, so I’m afraid we can’t go,” Liu Feng said after thinking for a long time.
