Starting with Fireflies, Speedrun the World

If they had known that the girl in front of them was that Battle Saint, they should have been more polite earlier. All the elders couldn't help but look reproachfully at the elder who had released the pressure first.

The elder felt wronged, as he couldn't sense any fighting spirit in Yun Li and assumed she was just an ordinary person.

As elders of the Burning Flame Valley, they were used to being high and mighty, and would teach others a lesson at the slightest disagreement.

Or rather, this isn't just a habit of the Burning Flame Valley; in fact, the Burning Flame Valley is considered quite polite. In the entire Douhuo Continent, who among those with strength and background doesn't behave this way?

Facing someone stronger than himself, a Dou Huang level expert was terrifyingly powerful!

Facing someone weaker than himself, even a mere Dou Huang dares to stand before him?

“Miss, Saint…please have mercy. It was our rudeness. Please give us a chance to apologize.”

Feeling the pressure on him lessen, Tang Zhen quickly cupped his hands to Yun Li, disregarding the fact that the girl in front of him looked younger than his own daughter, and humbly lowered his head.

In this world, what matters is strength, not age.

Although it's impossible to determine whether the girl in front of her is a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) level expert, she is definitely not someone a Dou Zun (Battle Venerable) can handle.

As for the ancestor, if we can avoid taking action, let's try to resolve this peacefully.

"Are you from Burning Flame Valley?"

Yun Li was fairly satisfied with Tang Zhen's performance, and stopped releasing her pressure. With a wave of her hand, she suppressed her aura.

The people in front of them instantly felt their bodies relax and regain their strength.

"Thank you for showing mercy. We are from the Burning Flame Valley. May we ask your esteemed title, Saint?"

Even if Tang Zhen racked his brains, he couldn't come up with any information related to such a young Dou Sheng.

However, he guessed that the girl in front of him was definitely not as young as she looked; her real age must be that of an old monster.

The appearance is probably just due to the technique or other reasons.

Thinking about it this way, he was able to accept it somewhat, otherwise it would have been too unbelievable.

"What saint or not, my name is Yun Li."

"Since you are from Burning Flame Valley, that's perfect. I have a favor to ask of you!"

Guessing that the person in front of her mistook her for a Dou Sheng, Yun Li didn't explain further. After confirming that they were from Burning Flame Valley, she directly stated her purpose.

"Please give your instructions, Senior Yun Li. As long as it is within the capabilities of my Burning Flame Valley, we will do our utmost."

Hearing Yun Li's words, Tang Zhen felt a little relieved. It was just a favor, and things didn't seem so bad, which was naturally the best outcome.

Making an enemy of a Dou Sheng powerhouse, even with the trump card of the Supreme Elder, is not a good thing. It's completely exposed to outsiders, and it's unclear what Hun Dian will do.

"It's nothing difficult, I just want to borrow the strange fire from your Burning Flame Valley."

After speaking, Yun Li felt that her words were somewhat forceful. Although she could directly force them to hand it over, what difference would that make between her and those bad people?

After thinking for a moment, she added, "Of course, I can offer compensation."

"Strange fire?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhen's expression changed visibly; it turned out he had come for the strange fire of his Burning Flame Valley.

"No, absolutely not! The Nine Dragons Ragnaros Fire is the key to the inheritance of my Burning Flame Valley. How can we lend it to others?"

Before Tang Zhen could say anything, the elders around him couldn't sit still any longer.

Although the Nine Dragons Ragnaros Fire is not as important to Burning Flame Valley as the Fallen Core Flame is to Canaan Academy, it is still extremely important.

This is proof of the Valley Master's inheritance. In other words, to become the Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley, besides strength, one must also subdue the Nine Dragons Ragnaros Fire.

How could we possibly hand over such a core component to outsiders? Absolutely not.

But as soon as the elder finished speaking, he was pressed to the ground by a tremendous force.

"Did I ask you to speak?"

Yun Li had appeared in front of the elder without anyone noticing, and the old iron in her hand was pressing down on him.

These guys are so annoying. Even the leader, a Dou Zun, hasn't said a word. They always speak so self-righteously.

Do you really think she's easy to bully?

"me……"

Looking at the heavy sword on his body and feeling the aura of death, the elder turned pale and instantly became obedient.

The other elders were much the same.

"Is your management of subordinates in Burning Flame Valley really this lax?"

After pressing the man down with the iron bar, Yun Li turned to look at Tang Zhen and asked him in confusion.

"Uh……"

Tang Zhen didn't know how to explain. Although he was the Valley Master and the most powerful person in the entire Burning Flame Valley on the surface, the management style of Burning Flame Valley was somewhat different from other forces.

The Burning Flame Valley is mainly composed of elders, who wield considerable influence within the valley.

Even the learners of their Burning Flame Valley's core cultivation technique, "Heavenly Flame Three Profound Transformations," are controlled by the Elders' Council. Only those who pass the examination can learn it, and the Elders' Council is responsible for the examination. Even the Valley Master has no right to interfere.

Therefore, in many cases, these elders can make decisions on their own without needing his consent.

"Senior Yun Li, how do you intend to borrow it? The strange fire of our Burning Flame Valley is different from other strange fires, and outsiders can hardly use it."

"so……"

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Zhen explained the situation of the Nine Dragons Ragnaros Fire to Yun Li.

Unlike other strange flames, the Nine Dragons Ragnaros Flame has been passed down by the Burning Flame Valley for hundreds of years, and the powerful figures of each generation have left indelible blood and soul marks on the source of the flame.

Unless one cultivates the "Clear Netherworld Flame Technique," the valley-suppressing technique of the Burning Flame Valley, even if one obtains the Nine Dragons Ragnaros Fire, it is absolutely impossible for one to possess it for one's own use.

"Don't worry about that, I have a way."

As she spoke, Yun Li raised her right hand, and three strange flames appeared in her hand at the same time.

The golden flame in particular instilled a sense of fear in Tang Zhen, and even the Nine Dragons Ragnaros Flame on his body seemed to tremble with terror.

Indeed, the Nine Dragons Ragnaros Fire, a unique flame from the Burning Flame Valley, resides on his body.

He did want to pass on this strange fire to his daughter, but unfortunately... that's what caused the big problem.

Three different flames? How is that possible!

"How could one person possess three different flames at the same time, and that golden flame could even burn space itself?"

The elders of Burning Flame Valley were greatly shocked when they saw the strange fire in Yun Li's hand.

It's common knowledge that an alchemist can only subdue one different flame; to master three at the same time is simply unheard of.

What's even more incomprehensible is that Yun Li already possesses three different flames, so why does she still need to borrow the Nine Dragons Ragnaros Flame from Burning Flame Valley?

Although the Nine Dragons Ragnaros Fire is powerful, it can't compare to that golden strange fire.

"Senior Yun Li, may I ask if you are an alchemist?"

Compared to being shocked by the number of strange flames controlled by Yun Li, Tang Zhen suddenly thought of something and hesitantly asked Yun Li about it.

Being able to master multiple different flames simultaneously greatly increases the likelihood that one is a high-level alchemist. If one is an eighth-level alchemist, then there might be hope for the treatment of one's daughter.

"No, I am a swordsmith."

Yun Li withdrew the strange fire and shook her head.

"Isn't it?"

This answer disappointed Tang Zhen somewhat; it seemed that Huo'er's situation was not so easy to resolve.

"I heard that Valley Master Tang's beloved daughter is unwell, so he has been searching for an alchemist every year to concoct medicines to treat her."

"Although I'm not exactly an alchemist, I do possess some healing skills. In exchange for the Nine Dragons Ravenfire, I can treat that young lady. What do you say?"

"...If it's just a loan, I can consider it."

Tang Zhen hesitated upon hearing this. Although Yun Li was not an alchemist, as a Saint Venerable, she might have some unexpected way to cure his daughter.

Tang Zhen was willing to give up almost everything for Tang Huo'er. As long as it wasn't a closely guarded secret of the Burning Flame Valley, he wouldn't be stingy.

The Nine Dragons Ragnaros Fire is certainly precious, but it is only being borrowed, which is not unacceptable.

More importantly, if they rashly refuse, it would be bad for Burning Flame Valley to become hostile to a Dou Sheng.

"Valley Master, isn't this a bit inappropriate..."

Seeing that their Valley Master was clearly conflicted and even tempted, the surrounding elders became nervous.

Borrow? Even if you borrow it, you probably won't pay it back!

Although they didn't think an outsider could subdue the Nine Dragons Ragnaros Fire, Yun Li's unconventional mastery of three different flames might actually allow her to do what they considered impossible.

However, Tang Zhen made up his mind at this moment.

"No need to say anything more. As long as you can save Huo'er, we can discuss everything."

He only has one daughter.

Without a solution to her physical condition, Huo'er can only hold on for a few more years at most; she can't afford to delay any longer.

Although he had considered having the people from Danta take action, their demands were too high.

"If I am unable to cure that young lady, I'll pretend I never said anything if you lend me the Nine Dragons Raven Fire, how about that?"

Yun Li spoke with considerable confidence: if even the power of abundant divine energy couldn't heal him, then there was no one in this world who could possibly cure Tang Huo'er.

In reality, Tang Huo'er was cured in the original novel using a high-grade seventh-rank pill called Huo Pu Dan.

Although she didn't have the Fire Bodhi Pill, her things weren't necessarily inferior to that pill.

"Then I'll leave it to Senior Yun Li."

Seeing Yun Li say this, Tang Zhen felt much more at ease, and the other elders didn't say anything more, deciding to discuss the details after the treatment was over.

In fact, Yun Li's attitude was already quite friendly. If it were someone more ruthless, they wouldn't bother talking to you; they would just attack and kill you.

However, one thing that gives them extra confidence is that outsiders don't know that their Burning Flame Valley also has a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) in charge.

"Without further ado, let's go."

Yun Li had originally planned to visit the Burning Flame Valley to pay her respects, but now that the other party had come to her on their own, there was no need for that trouble.

Moreover, she had shown her sincerity, and if they changed their minds after the treatment was over, Yun Li would not be so lenient.
