Fire Spirit Body

In fact, Han Li had arrived here long ago, but he had been watching from the outside and had not participated in the competition. Naturally, he had also seen Li Yunfan's outstanding performance on the high platform.

To his surprise, Li Yunfan also chose the Yellow Maple Valley sect when he came to participate in the Ascension Conference!

This left him somewhat speechless. He had originally planned to quietly join Huangfeng Valley using the Ascension Token, but now it seemed there was no way to hide it from them.

Han Li could already imagine Li Yunfan's mockery and ridicule, but losing a little face was no big deal for someone who could join a sect and obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill.

The area around the platform had become quite empty, making Han Li's solitary figure stand out conspicuously.

"Halt! The Ascension Ceremony is over. You may leave now!"

The disciple in charge of Huangfeng Valley immediately went up and stopped Han Li when he saw him walking towards them.

Han Li cupped his hands in greeting and said respectfully, "Fellow Daoist, I've come to join the Yellow Maple Valley!"

Upon hearing this, the disciple's face immediately showed a hint of impatience and disdain, and he waved his hand repeatedly at Han Li.

"The Ascension Ceremony has ended. If you wish to join, wait for the next Ascension Ceremony. Now, leave this place immediately..."

Seeing his expression, Han Li knew that the other party looked down on him. Although he was a little angry, he also knew that with his current status, he really had nothing to offer that would make the other party treat him kindly.

"Fellow Daoist, I possess a family heirloom token. After inquiring, I learned that it is your valley's Ascension Token. I hope you can take me to see the person in charge!"

Upon hearing this, the disciple's expression immediately changed: "You have an Ascension Token?"

Han Li nodded, then took out the jet-black triangular token from his pocket.

That disciple had only heard of the Ascension Token and naturally did not know whether it was real or fake. However, it was extremely rare for someone with the Ascension Token to join the sect, so it could not be taken lightly.

"Since you possess the Ascension Token, you can naturally join the Yellow Maple Valley. However, your master will need to verify its authenticity."

The change in this person's words made Han Li look at him with new respect; no wonder he was sent to preside over the Ascension Ceremony.

"That's natural!"

"Alright, then follow me, fellow Daoist!"

After saying that, he led Han Li to the high platform.

Upon seeing Han Li, Li Yunfan smiled slightly and winked at him discreetly.

Han Li noticed Li Yunfan's strange expression, but this wasn't the time to ask. So he nodded slightly and stood calmly to the side.

The disciple quickly walked up to the cultivator surnamed Wang and whispered about Han Li holding the Ascension Token.

"What??"

The cultivator surnamed Wang was clearly shocked by this, and he couldn't control his expression, exclaiming loudly.

This unexpected turn of events left everyone except Li Yunfan puzzled, wondering what the disciple had said that had shocked even a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The cultivator surnamed Wang also noticed his own abnormality at this moment. After coughing lightly, he regained his composure.

He turned and walked up to Han Li, looking him up and down before asking, "So you're the one who possesses the Ascension Token?"

Han Li naturally knew that the other party was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so he dared not be negligent and quickly cupped his hands respectfully and said, "Reporting to senior, this junior does indeed possess an Ascension Token."

After saying that, he took out the Ascension Token again and presented it with both hands.

The cultivator surnamed Wang reached out, and the Ascension Token floated into his hand. After careful examination, he found that it was indeed an Ascension Token from their Yellow Maple Valley.

Only then did he return it to Han Li, looking at him with some surprise and saying, "It is indeed the Ascension Token of my Yellow Maple Valley. Since you can produce it, you should know its meaning. I can take you back to the valley, but the final decision rests with the sect leader."

Han Li was overjoyed upon hearing this. The record in that book was indeed true. This really was the Ascension Token from Huangfeng Valley!

"Yes, senior!"

What happened next was simple: the cultivator surnamed Wang piloted a spirit boat and brought the eleven of them, plus the disciple in charge, back to Yellow Maple Valley.

Huangfeng Valley is located in the Taiyue Mountains of Jianzhou in the Yue Kingdom.

Inside the main hall, a dozen Foundation Establishment stage managers sat on chairs on both sides, while a middle-aged man with three long strands of beard sat on the main seat.

This person is none other than Zhong Lingdao, the current leader of Huangfeng Valley, whose cultivation has reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

"Junior Brother Wang, thank you for your hard work at this Ascension Ceremony!" Zhong Lingdao said with a smile to a man sitting in the center on the left.

The man stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and replied, "Sect Leader, you flatter me. I was merely doing my duty!"

This person was none other than the cultivator surnamed Wang from Huangfeng Valley on the Heavenly Mist Platform that day.

"Among the ten winners of this Ascension Tournament, are there any with exceptional talent?"

Upon hearing this, the cultivator surnamed Wang couldn't help but smile and said, "Reporting to the sect leader, among the ten victors this time, there is indeed one who is worth cultivating in the valley..."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lingdao's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he couldn't help but sit up straighter.

The other managers also looked at the cultivator surnamed Wang with curiosity.

"Is this true? What is that person's name, where is he from, and what is his spiritual root aptitude?" Zhong Lingdao asked directly.

"This person's name is Li Yunfan, eighteen years old, from a small cultivation family in Qingmu Mountain, Jianzhou. As for his spiritual root... it's a pseudo-spiritual root with four attributes!"

Everyone was listening attentively, but when the cultivator surnamed Wang mentioned the four pseudo-spiritual roots, everyone was speechless, and even Zhong Lingdao's smile froze.

One of the stewards, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, scoffed, "Senior Brother Wang, are you getting senile? Is a pseudo-spiritual root cultivator really worth cultivating in this valley?"

The cultivator surnamed Wang did not answer, but looked at Zhong Lingdao, who also frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with his previous statement.

He chuckled and said again, "Senior Brother Li is right, pseudo-spiritual roots are indeed not worth cultivating, but what if this pseudo-spiritual root possesses a special spiritual body?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lingdao's heart skipped a beat. A special spiritual body?

"Junior Brother Wang, there's no need to keep us in suspense. Just what kind of spiritual body does this Li Yunfan possess that allows him to overcome the cultivation difficulties of a pseudo-spiritual root?"

A hint of pride appeared on the face of the cultivator surnamed Wang, as if he himself possessed a spiritual body.

"Fire Spirit Body!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lingdao's face showed a hint of shock. It was actually the Fire Spirit Body?

This "Fire Spirit Body" is extremely rare. It is a special advanced spiritual body of the Fire Spirit Body, and can be said to be a once-in-a-millennium occurrence.

Cultivators with such spiritual bodies are not only no less capable than those with Heavenly Spiritual Root aptitude in terms of cultivation speed, but also have a strong comprehension of fire-attribute techniques, and can increase the power of fire-attribute spells by 30% out of thin air!

The other Foundation Establishment stage managers also showed expressions of shock, never expecting that an Ascension Ceremony would actually receive a cultivator with such a special spiritual body!

Zhong Lingdao took a deep breath, his expression gradually returning to calm, but the surprise in his eyes betrayed his true feelings.

"Junior Brother Wang, is this really true?"

The cultivator surnamed Wang cupped his hands and solemnly said, "Absolutely true! After detecting this person's spiritual body, I specifically went to the Scripture Pavilion to consult the records, which is how I was able to confirm it completely!"

"Hahaha! Good! Junior Brother Wang has made a great contribution this time, and the valley will certainly not be stingy. You will receive the full reward you deserve!" Zhong Lingdao laughed and said.

The cultivator surnamed Wang looked delighted: "Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Seeing this, the other managers looked at the cultivator surnamed Wang with envy.

Of course, there were also some envious glances among them.

Some of them had been in charge of the Ascension Ceremony, but none had ever been as lucky as the Wang surname cultivator, who was able to receive a disciple with the "Fire Spirit Body".

After a moment, Zhong Lingdao regained his composure: "Junior Brother Wang, do the others have any other special characteristics?"

"The other nine are all ordinary cultivators, nothing special, but..." The cultivator surnamed Wang shook his head, then a strange look appeared on his face.

"But what?"

"At the end of this Ascension Ceremony, one person actually produced an Ascension Token!"

"An Ascension Token?" Zhong Lingdao asked, somewhat surprised.

"That's right, I've checked it, it is indeed the Ascension Token from Huangfeng Valley. I've also brought this person back, and he's currently waiting at the Welcome Pavilion," the cultivator surnamed Wang nodded and said.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lingdao frowned slightly, then sighed softly: "Since this person possesses the Ascension Token, then naturally we should accept him into the valley according to the rules. However, in this case, the distribution of the Foundation Establishment Pills will need to be reconsidered..."
