Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

"That's it!" someone exclaimed, and everyone looked toward the red light.

A crimson spirit feather rose into the air, surrounded by swirling fire elemental energy.

"This crimson spirit feather is actually a magical artifact!"

Jiang Shi exclaimed inwardly, "It's obvious that this crimson spirit feather wasn't made later in life."

It was a feather left behind by some kind of mythical beast.

Even a feather can be transformed into a spiritual artifact, even the lowest-grade low-level spiritual artifact.

Judging from this, the owner of this crimson spirit feather must be at least at the Nascent Soul stage.

This crimson spirit feather is perhaps even more precious than some low-grade spiritual artifacts.

Xu Huan of Beast Taming Mountain saw it even more clearly. These crimson spirit feathers must have come from a spirit bird with high cultivation, and they were a perfect match for his Fire Feather Spirit Sparrow!

This is the key to his advancement to the Golden Core stage!

Thinking of this, Xu Huan of Beast Taming Mountain used his Beast Taming Technique and uttered an incantation.

Under Xu Huan's incantation, the Fire Feather Spirit Sparrow began to undergo a transformation, with each feather on its body igniting into a raging fire.

His entire body seemed to have turned into flames.

A bird's cry rang out, and the Fire Feather Spirit Sparrow, accompanied by a sky full of flames, swooped down towards He Wenzhou of the Burning Heaven Sect!

Faced with such an attack, He Wenzhou dared not take it head-on and could only retreat repeatedly.

With the Fire Feather Spirit Sparrow holding He Wenzhou back, Xu Huan leaped up, intending to directly seize the crimson spirit feather floating in the air.

Upon seeing this, He Wenzhou of the Burning Heaven Sect waved his hand, and a huge magma handprint smashed over in an attempt to stop it.

However, Xu Huan was prepared, and the Fire Feather Spirit Sparrow blocked the attack, preventing it from affecting its master.

With the Fire Feather Sparrow's talent for avoiding fire, it could ignore He Wenzhou's fire-based spells. Although the earth-based spells contained within the magma could damage the Fire Feather Sparrow, they were not fatal.

Xu Huan of Beast Taming Mountain was willing to gamble on this, sacrificing himself for a chance to obtain the Crimson Spirit Feather.

"Let's go!"

"Don't even think about taking the treasure!"

There were more than fifty Foundation Establishment stage cultivators present.

There were inevitably some bold ones among them; eight late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators attacked at the same time.

In their view, Xu Huan, a disciple of Beast Taming Mountain, had lost his companion spirit beast, so his strength had naturally plummeted. Everyone knew that ninety percent of the strength of a disciple of Beast Taming Mountain came from his spirit beast.

With eight late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators attacking together, Xu Huan had no choice but to abandon the crimson spirit feather that was almost within his grasp and retreat to the side.

After forcing Xu Huan to retreat, the eight Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were once again embroiled in internal conflict.

They do not come from the same faction and are not united.

In an instant, Foundation Establishment stage cultivators continued to join the battle.

The scene was extremely chaotic, with dozens of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators locked in a fierce battle!

Flames flew everywhere, and earth-shattering explosions resounded all around.

Most of these Foundation Establishment stage cultivators are fire spirit root cultivators, and they are proficient in fire-based spells.

When dozens of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators unleashed fire-based spells together, the scene truly resembled the apocalypse.

If a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator were to approach such a battle, they might not even be able to withstand the aftershocks.

Jiang Shi did not step forward at this moment, not because he did not want to seize the crimson spirit feather, but because in such a chaotic scene, it would be difficult to seize the treasure from these more than forty Foundation Establishment stage cultivators if he rashly approached.

This matter requires further consideration.

However, Jiang Shi must obtain this crimson spirit feather no matter what.

The only thing Jiang Shi lacks right now is a spiritual artifact, even if it's just a low-grade one.

Jiang Shi dared not take a direct hit from the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, Sect Leader Lu of the Qingyun Sect, who wielded a low-grade spiritual weapon; he could only dodge.

Since we've come across such a treasure, there's no reason to let it go.

Around them, many people shared the same idea as Jiang Shi. There were more than ten Foundation Establishment stage cultivators who did not step forward but were secretly plotting something.

Among these people, some wanted to reap the benefits, while others genuinely had no interest in the crimson spirit feather.

Like one of the blood-red figures, he flashed and landed in front of Jiang Shi.

"Brother Jiang, it's been a long time." The newcomer's aura, a mixture of bloodlust, murderous intent, and killing intent, made Jiang Shi know who it was without even looking.

"Brother Xuanyuan, it's been a long time," Jiang Shi replied.

The newcomer was none other than Xuanyuan Yi, a member of the prestigious Xuanyuan clan in the Western Desert.

Unlike the others, Xuan Yuan Yi didn't really have much interest in the crimson spirit feather.

It can be obtained or not.

His cultivation was entirely focused on blood energy, killing intent, and baleful aura, and had no connection whatsoever with this fire-type spiritual creature.

Therefore, he wasn't particularly interested in the crimson spirit feather.

The main reason why Xuanyuan Yi came to this fire-type secret realm was to visit the Marrow Cleansing Spring.

Xuan Yuan Yi has just broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and now his whole body is filled with bloodlust, murderous aura, and killing intent, which is extremely obvious.

This is not a good sign.

This indicates that his cultivation technique is not yet stable and his realm is somewhat unstable.

This suggests that Xuan Yuan Yi may have forced his way through the breakthrough, perhaps because he was defeated by Wei Wushang, a scion of a prominent family in the Central Continent, in the Stone Tower Secret Realm, which is why he forced his way through the breakthrough.

This has created a hidden danger, and if it is not resolved, it may have a significant impact on Xuan Yuan Yi's breakthrough to the Golden Core stage.

He came to this fire-elemental secret realm for this reason.

That marrow-cleansing spring has the extraordinary effect of stabilizing the foundation and cleansing the marrow.

He can solve Xuan Yuan Yi's current problems.

"Brother Jiang, don't you have any thoughts on this crimson spirit feather?" Although Xuan Yuan Yi was a very bloodthirsty and tyrannical man, he was straightforward and never beat around the bush.

"Such a magical artifact, of course I want it." Jiang Shi didn't hide his thoughts and said frankly.

Although Jiang Shi hadn't spent much time with Xuan Yuan Yi, he did know a thing or two about him.

It's impossible to hide this matter directly; it will only create enemies out of thin air.

It's better to tell them frankly.

If Xuan Yuan Yi wants to compete, then there's nothing more to say. Having another competitor will allow us to see who's the best.

However, if Xuanyuan Yi has no interest in the crimson spirit feather, then Jiang Shi might be able to gain an ally.

"Hahaha, since that's the case, I can help you fight for it!" Faced with Jiang Shi's frankness, Xuan Yuan Yi laughed heartily.

Xuan Yuan Yi had a good impression of Jiang Shi, and the two were quite familiar with each other. Given his warlike nature, helping Jiang Shi obtain the Crimson Spirit Feather wouldn't be a problem.

Xuan Yuan Yi wanted to befriend Jiang Shi. The two had fought before, and he could tell that Jiang Shi was a great cultivator with five spiritual roots.

He possesses a solid foundation and extraordinary magical abilities, making him no ordinary person.

The path of cultivating immortality emphasizes wealth, companions, methods, and location. Companions are the second most important. Those who attain the Dao receive much help, while those who stray from the Dao receive little help. Xuan Yuan Yi understands this principle.

"Then thank you very much, Brother Xuanyuan," Jiang Shi said, feeling very pleasantly surprised.

With Xuanyuan Yi's help, he gained a great boost.

He wasn't afraid even if Xu Huan, a disciple of the Beast Taming Mountain, and He Wenzhou, a disciple of the Burning Heaven Sect, joined forces.
