God-Slaying Blade

"Make...make friends? Young Master Qin, are you serious?"

Song Huan could hardly believe what he was hearing.

Qin Jue smiled faintly, "Those who do not oppose me, I will not oppose. Since you two care about and admire me so much, I naturally wouldn't mind becoming friends with you. I just don't know if you two are willing?"

Yang Qing and Song Huan dared not refuse, and quickly clasped their hands in greeting, saying, "We are honored by Young Master Qin's high regard; it is truly an honor for us two brothers!"

Da Bai's lips curled into a smile. Based on her understanding of Qin Jue, she knew that next, Qin Jue would reveal his true purpose in making friends.

Sure enough, Qin Jue chuckled and said, "Alright, then I'll have friends in the Ling Shan Sect from now on."

Yang Qingqian smiled and said, "Being able to become friends with Young Master Qin is the greatest opportunity for us on this trip to the secret realm. Young Master Qin, please go in and subdue the spirit fire with peace of mind. My brother and I, along with your spirit beast, will guard you outside. I guarantee that no one will be allowed to enter and disturb you."

Qin Jue shook his head and said, "Time in the secret realm is very precious. How can I trouble you two to sacrifice your time to guard this place for me? You should also go and seek your own opportunities. But I do have a request, and I hope you two friends can lend me your full assistance."

"Just tell us what you need us to do, Young Master Qin," Yang Qing said with a bright smile.

As long as he doesn't die.

Qin Jue smiled slightly: "You two must have made ample preparations to subdue this spiritual fire, right? Now that you've decided to give up, why not lend me those prepared items?"

Yang Qing and Song Huan were stunned; so this was Qin Jue's real purpose.

Well, this is much better than killing them and just robbing them.

"Please accept this as a gift, Young Master Qin!"

Almost simultaneously, the two of them took out a bottle of pills from their storage rings.

Su Xin also had a bottle of this pill in his storage ring. It was because Qin Jue saw the Azure Cold Pill that he had the idea to borrow some more from his two new friends.

After all, the temperature of the spiritual fire was extremely high, and Qin Jue was worried that one bottle of Azure Cold Pill would not be enough.

"Alright, thank you both very much then. If you ever need any help with anything in the future, feel free to come to the Qin family in Fengzhou City and find me. As long as it's within my power, I will definitely repay this favor." Qin Jue chuckled and accepted the two bottles of pills without any hesitation.

The two just chuckled awkwardly.

Given the current relationship between Lingshan Sect and Qin Jue, they wouldn't dare to ask Qin Jue for help even if they needed it.

But having survived Qin Jue's encounter, the two of them were already very happy and content...

"You two, go ahead with your work. There are plenty of opportunities waiting for you in the secret realm," Qin Jue urged with a smile.

"Well then, we'll take our leave now."

The two quickly bowed and rushed down the mountain.

"puff--"

Zhao Qingmeng had been holding back her laughter until the two of them left, at which point she finally let out a laugh.

Qin Jue rubbed his nose and chuckled, "I didn't expect that despite my fearsome reputation, someone would still be willing to befriend me. Sister-in-law, Da Bai, I'll leave you to guard this place. Anyone who tries to force their way in or dares to approach the cave entrance, kill them."

The Heavenly Spirit Fire is inside the mountain. If someone outside were to cause trouble and collapse the passageway, that would be disastrous.

Moreover, there are quite a few people who want him dead these days, so he has to be careful.

Zhao Qingmeng said seriously, "Xiao Jue, don't worry, go in. Da Bai and I will stay here and guard you every step of the way! But you must be careful when you subdue the spirit fire. I've heard that subduing a spirit fire is extremely difficult, and if you're not careful... oh, no, you will definitely succeed! Your sister-in-law believes in you!"

Qin Jue laughed and said, "I will act according to my ability. If it really doesn't work, I will give up. I don't want to play with fire and get burned."

"Yes. Safety first," Zhao Qingmeng replied with a smile.

Qin Jue said no more and walked into the stone cave.

Zhao Qingmeng didn't intend to just wait idly, so she sat down cross-legged on the spot...

"hiss."

As soon as she sat down, her pert buttocks tightened suddenly.

"Cough, luckily Xiao Jue has already gone in, otherwise it would have been too embarrassing." Zhao Qingmeng's face turned red; the ground was so hot it was burning her bottom.

She quickly took out a futon from her storage ring and placed it under her, which made her feel a little better.

……

Qin Jue ventured deep into the mountainside.

The further in you go, the higher the temperature becomes.

But with his cultivation level, he could easily withstand it.

Soon, he stood where Yang Qing had been standing.

"So it's the Earth Core Golden Flame. Hehe, Little Jue, you have quite a connection with the spiritual creatures nurtured by the Earth's core!" Liu Qingxue chuckled.

Not long ago, Qin Jue obtained the Earth Spirit Milk in the cave at Thousand Caves Cliff.

Earth Spirit Milk is also a spiritual substance nurtured in the Earth's core.

Qin Jue laughed and said, "It's only fate if you can successfully subdue it; if you fail, then it's a terrible fate."

"Don't worry, although the temperature of this Earth Core Golden Flame is not low, with your physical strength and the Devouring Heaven Fusion Fire Technique I taught you, subduing this Golden Flame will not be difficult. However, I estimate it will take at least five days to complete," Liu Qingxue said.

"It's alright, I came here specifically for this spiritual fire. As long as I succeed before they throw me out of the secret realm, that's fine." Qin Jue smiled faintly, then raised his hand, took out a Jade Cold Pill, and put it in his mouth.

"This thing isn't really useful for subduing spirit fire. It's like hugging a piece of ice and jumping into lava—what good will that do?" Liu Qingxue said.

Qin Jue laughed and said, "I'll enjoy the comfort for a while, at least it's much cooler now."

"Is this what men are like? Even three breaths of pleasure are rare for them," Liu Qingxue said with a wicked smile.

Qin Jue: "..."

"Sister Qingxue, I'm going there!"

Qin Jue's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly leaped up, flying towards the black stone pillar in the center of the lava pool.

Above the magma, terrifying heat waves rose, but Qin Jue was enveloped in spiritual energy and remained unaffected.

Qin Jue also admired those old fogies of the Lingshan Sect for daring to let a group of Grandmasters come in to subdue the spirit fire.

Perhaps they wanted to save a few bundles of firewood for cremation?

call!

Light as a bird, it landed silently, only to be propelled by an even more intense heat wave.

Swish!

The once still golden flames at the Earth's core suddenly leaped up like a fireball, heading straight for Qin Jue who had landed!

"As expected of a spirit fire, it truly possesses sentience!"

Qin Jue was overjoyed and suddenly plunged the God-Slaying Blade into the ground, then opened his arms wide!

boom!

As the Earth's core flames crashed into him, Qin Jue suddenly clasped his hands together in front of him, and two powerful spiritual energies surged out, transforming into two chains that firmly bound and restrained the Earth's core flames!

Liu Qingxue once said that if you want to subdue a spirit fire, you must first not be afraid of it!

Only by gradually adapting to the high temperature of the spiritual fire can one eventually absorb it into their physical body and refine and subdue it!

Moreover, if he kept dodging, and the Earth Core Golden Flame jumped into the magma, even if Qin Jue was a powerful expert in the Spirit Stream Realm, he wouldn't dare to jump down to retrieve the flame...

So instead of dodging, he opened his arms and held the spiritual fire in front of him, slowly absorbing its heat and getting used to its temperature!

"ah--"

Even though Qin Jue had prepared himself mentally, he still let out a painful roar the moment the golden flames from the center of the earth approached and unleashed their intense heat.

call--

His clothes turned to ashes in an instant.

All the hair on its body was burned off...
