After my Daoist partners broke off their engagement, they pledged their loyalty to me!

Tao Yiyu raised her hand.

"Dark Claw Netherworld Talisman!"

A jet-black talisman flew out and burned, transforming into a giant black claw.

With a chilling aura, it reached for the three fireballs.

"Purple Thunder Talisman!"

Ling Xue followed closely behind.

A pale purple talisman burned, transforming into a thick bolt of lightning that crackled as it met the fireball.

Zhang Lengyu then used an ice crystal talisman.

The ice crystal talisman burned, releasing a chilling aura that transformed into a massive ice wall, blocking the way for everyone.

Three spirit talismans, all of the same rank four, burned simultaneously!

Jiang Lin had just given instructions to use the person who attacked them to establish their authority, so using a powerful talisman was the fastest way.

Li Chao, who was at the mid-stage of the Qi Sea Realm, had a drastic change in expression.

He hadn't expected that Jiang Lin's three female companions would also use fourth-tier spirit talismans so readily!

Moreover, their teamwork was impeccable!

Dark claws tore through, thunder roared, and ice walls blocked!

The Dark Claw Nether Talisman and the Purple Lightning Talisman collided head-on with Li Chao's three fireballs.

Boom!

With a deafening roar.

A violent energy shockwave swept outwards, creating cracks over ten feet wide in the surrounding ground.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone around.

Li Chao's three fireballs.

Under the attacks of Tao Yi and Ling Xue's talismans, it was defeated step by step and was eventually completely devoured and dissolved!

"How is this possible?" Li Chao stared in disbelief, his face filled with disbelief.

It's important to know that even though they are all talismans of the same level, the maker who creates the talisman can affect its power.

Right now, his three fourth-tier Explosive Flame Talismans are no match for his opponent's two fourth-tier Spirit Talismans.

What this signifies is self-evident.

He doesn't believe in superstitions.

He took out two more Flame Burst Talismans from his storage ring.

However, it was completely useless.

Tao Yi and Ling Xue possessed quite a few fourth-tier spirit talismans.

It's not that they originally had so many fourth-tier spirit talismans, but rather that although there were few fourth-tier spirit talismans among the treasures they had seized during this period, they added up little by little!

After activating five fourth-tier spirit talismans in succession, Li Chao's expression gradually turned ugly.

He looked at Tao Yi and the other two, who remained calm and composed.

The thought of retreating arose in his mind.

"Damn it, let's just leave!"

Li Chao turned to leave.

"Trying to leave? Too late!"

Jiang Lin's icy voice rang out.

He hasn't made a move yet.

That's the opportunity we've been waiting for.

With a flick of his wrist, a talisman shimmering with seven-colored light appeared in his hand.

This is one of the most powerful talismans in his possession.

Seven-Colored Dragon-Trapping Talisman!

The talisman is prepared to be used.

Jiang Lin did not hesitate at all.

Spiritual energy was poured in, causing it to burn.

hum!

The talisman burned, transforming into a seven-colored light curtain.

The light screen instantly unfolded, transforming into an invisible cage.

It enveloped Li Chao, who was in the mid-stage of the Qi Sea Realm.

They were trapped inside.

Li Chao attacked the light barrier frantically, but could only leave behind ripples of energy, unable to break it at all.

"Break it!"

Li Chao summoned his spirit sword, unleashing his swordsmanship and martial arts techniques, and struck the light barrier with all his might.

clang!

The spirit sword was deflected, but the light barrier remained completely still.

Li Chao was utterly desperate.

This is definitely not a fourth-tier spirit talisman.

Jiang Lin walked slowly to the light screen without saying anything.

A look of frustration flashed across Li Chao's face, and in the end, he could only shamelessly beg Jiang Lin to show leniency.

"If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."

Jiang Lin shook his head and sighed softly, "Just obediently submit to my authority!"

A condensed bolt of lightning pierced through the light barrier.

Li Chao was completely bound and unable to resist, watching helplessly as the lightning bolt shot towards his brow.

"No!!!"

With a soft "poof," lightning pierced through his brow.

Li Chao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but his body could only kneel limply on the ground, his head drooping.

"Hey, are you kidding me? He's dead already?"

"Li Chao was a mid-stage Qi Sea Realm expert, definitely one of the top experts in the Northern Wilderness Realm. I never expected him to perish here so easily."

"Damn it, I can't afford to mess with these people. Fourth-tier spirit talismans are my trump card for survival, and these people use them without warning."

"A fourth-tier spirit talisman? I think it's more than that. The spirit talisman that just trapped Li Chao doesn't look like a fourth-tier one."

"That's even more terrifying..."

Li Chao's miserable state silenced everyone, and they whispered a few words to each other before shutting up.

After confirming Li Chao's death, Jiang Lin casually waved his hand.

As the light barrier dissipated, he grabbed Li Chao's storage ring and then addressed the still-shocked cultivators around him, "Anyone else want to try?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap.

It exploded in everyone's ears.

No one answered.

Everyone instinctively took a step back.

She dared not meet his gaze.

Even those in the mid-stage of the Qi Sea Realm were so easily killed, wouldn't those of us in the Yuan Dan Realm just be throwing our lives away if we went up there?

Seeing that no one dared to step forward again, Jiang Lin nodded in satisfaction, sat back down at his stall, and said, "Alright, now, those with spirit cores can come and trade."

This time, no one dared to have any greed.

A bolder cultivator took out three third-tier spirit cores from his storage ring and cautiously approached Jiang Lin, saying, "This... Senior Brother, I would like to exchange three third-tier spirit cores for a piece of Crimson Sun Iron."

Jiang Lin glanced at him, casually tossed over a piece of Crimson Sun Iron, and at the same time took the spirit core.

"Yes, Crimson Sun Iron is a Tier 3 material."

After obtaining the Crimson Sun Iron, the cultivator's face lit up with joy, confirming that Jiang Lin genuinely wanted to trade with everyone.

He smiled at Jiang Lin, then took a deep breath, mustered his spiritual power, and shouted to those around him, "Everyone, this senior brother is really going to trade with you, don't be afraid."

"Li Chao deserved to die for stealing."

"Come and redeem yours!"

"There are so many good things!"

His announcement was made.

Once there's a first one, there's bound to be a second.

Seeing that Jiang Lin was genuinely trading, everyone came over one by one.

Soon, a long line formed in front of Jiang Lin's stall.

Everyone brought out their hard-earned spirit cores to exchange for the coveted materials and elixirs.

Jiang Lin accepted all comers, exchanging spirit cores for goods, and doing business with great enthusiasm.

The number of spirit cores in his storage ring was increasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The other monks around the basin saw this.

They all followed suit.

Since we can't beat Jiang Lin, why not open a market and see if we can find any treasures?

In an instant, the originally tense and desolate Flame Basin became like a bustling market.

Jiang Lin was undoubtedly in this market.

The most awe-inspiring existence.

Some others were also planning to exchange for spirit cores like Jiang Lin, but after thinking about it, they decided not to provoke Jiang Lin and risk unnecessary conflict.

After the transaction was completed, Jiang Lin had over a thousand third-tier spirit cores and hundreds of fourth-tier spirit cores.

There are even a small number of fifth-order spirit cores.

These spirit cores are the energy source that will help Jiang Lin cultivate quickly in the future.

This made Jiang Lin extremely happy.

Just as he was packing up his stall, something unexpected happened!

Boom!

A deafening roar came from deep within the Flaming Mountain, causing the entire mountain to shake violently.

It seemed as if it could collapse at any moment.

At the crater, the fire elemental energy was extremely violent, even forming visible fire tornadoes.

"What happened?"

The cultivators around the basin paled in shock.

They all looked up at the crater.

A flash of light appeared in the crater, and several disheveled figures rushed out in a panic.

These people...

It was Wu Meier and the others who had entered the Flaming Mountain earlier!

However, the original ten-person team...

Only eight remain now...

They were all covered in soot, dressed in rags, and had obvious burn marks on their bodies.

He was exhausted, having just survived a major battle.

"Run! Run!"

The young man from the Fiery Sect was the first to react. He scrambled to his feet, his face filled with terror, and roared at the people around him.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Where's the Azure Lotus Heart Flame? Did you get it?"

Everyone asked questions.

"Got what?!" the young man roared in exasperation. "The primordial heart fire has awakened! For some reason, it's been completely enraged!"

"It's completely out of control now, wreaking havoc inside the Flaming Mountains. It won't be long before it bursts out!"

"At that time, everyone still here will be burned to ashes!"

The young man's words were like a bombshell, exploding in the crowd.

"What?!"

"Are you provoking me?"

"Damn it, what kind of mess is this?!"

The color drained from everyone's faces instantly.

My heart was filled with endless anger.

They came here this time and not only did they not gain any benefits, but they may also lose their lives here!

For a moment, everyone looked at Wu Meier and the others with dissatisfaction.

If it weren't for Wu Meier and the others' suggestion, they wouldn't have stayed here to wait for death!

However, when they saw the materials and elixirs they had just acquired, a sense of relief welled up in their hearts.

Fortunately, Jiang Lin's arrangement of this deal allowed them to gain something.

"Damn it, run!"

Someone shouted, and everyone snapped out of their daze. Without thinking, they summoned their spirit swords and flew off towards the outside of the basin without looking back.

In the blink of an eye, the once bustling basin became completely empty.

Li Qingyuan and Lin Yueshuang were also in a sorry state, having gained no advantage in the Flaming Mountain.

The two of them quickly left.

Zeng Muxue was also leaving. She glanced at Jiang Lin and was surprised that he was so lucky to be unharmed at a time like this.

It would be unwise to waste time asking Jiang Lin for help at this point; otherwise, they might be caught up by the Primal Heart Flame.

She gritted her teeth.

Finally, he flew away on his sword and disappeared into the sky.

Jiang Lin looked at the panicked crowd and couldn't help but find it amusing.

He originally intended to wait until the ten people were both severely injured.

They can then reap the benefits themselves.

I never expected things to develop to this point.

At this moment, flames erupted from inside the Flaming Mountain.

In an instant, the temperature in the basin rose rapidly.

Waves of heat washed over us.

It felt incredibly hot!

"Master, let's go quickly."

Ling Xue said with concern.

The primal fire that has been completely enraged is something they cannot contend with at present.

"Don't rush."

Jiang Lin wasn't in a hurry at all.

Don't forget he has Huangfu Yuning's backup plan.

By taking out the Eternal Ice Crystal Lotus, one can activate the backup plan that Huangfu Yuning left in the jade slip map.

Jiang Lin took the Ten Thousand Year Ice Crystal Lotus out of his storage bag; it was one of his gains over the past few days.

After the aura of the Ten Thousand Year Ice Crystal Lotus appeared, a soft light suddenly burst forth from the jade slip map.

A radiant light enveloped his entire body.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable cool sensation flowed from the jade slip into his limbs and bones.

The fire elemental energy that he originally found extremely hot, even somewhat unbearable.

At this moment, he felt absolutely no warmth.

Moreover, under this extreme heat...

He even felt refreshed all over, and the circulation of spiritual energy within his body accelerated.

Just then.

A clear and familiar female voice.

It echoed in his mind.

"Disciple of the Misty Holy Land, when you hear these words, you must have already encountered a situation where your primordial inner fire has gone out of control."

This is Huangfu Yuning's voice!

"Don't panic, the jade slip map contains the energy I left for you."

"This energy was specially left behind by me. It needs to be activated by the aura of the Ten Thousand Year Ice Crystal Lotus. It can temporarily isolate and transform the violent energy of the primordial heart fire."

"With it, you will not only be protected from the primordial inner fire, but you will also be able to use this opportunity to successfully refine it!"

"If you can successfully refine the Azure Lotus Heart Flame, you can become my capable assistant after leaving the Northern Wilderness Realm."

As soon as he finished speaking, the light on the jade slip became even more dazzling, transforming into a bridge of light that led directly to the crater.

Jiang Lin looked at the scene before him.

I was incredibly amazed.

This Huangfu Yuning...

They had already settled the ownership of the Azure Lotus Heart Flame long ago!
