The Second Type of Spirit Fire

Although Li Yunfan guessed that the Yang family members had doubts about him, he didn't care. He didn't have any designs on the Yang family anyway, so why would he get angry with these Qi Refining stage juniors?

With a faint smile, Li Yunfan walked slowly past the group, and then, led by Yang Taizhong, arrived at a stone house in a corner of the Yang family compound.

"Huh!"

Upon arriving at this place, Li Yunfan noticed the clues about the stone house and couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.

"I didn't expect you to be so skilled in formations, carving array patterns on this stone house... If I'm not mistaken, the purpose of this formation should be to lower the temperature inside the stone house, thereby helping Patriarch Yang resist the corrosive effects of the fire poison."

The Yang family members were initially startled, but then their faces lit up with joy.

In their view, they were naturally very surprised that this senior could see through their formation at a glance. But then they thought that since the other party had such insight, he might really be able to cure the family head's fire poison.

"Senior, you truly have keen insight, seeing through the formation we set up at a glance."

Yang Taizhong complimented him with a look of delighted surprise, then sighed and said again.

"However, even with the protection of the 'Frost Qi Array,' the fire poison inside the patriarch's body continues to erode outwards. In at most another month, the patriarch will die from the fire poison attacking his heart."

Li Yunfan nodded and instructed them to open the stone door and the array so he could go in and see what was going on.

Yang Taizhong respectfully agreed, then turned and gave Yang Jinglong a wink. The other man immediately ran forward, took out a jade tablet from his person, and used magic to open the array and the stone gate at the same time.

In the center of the stone house sat a middle-aged man with his upper body bare, his eyes closed and his brows furrowed. On the man's chest was a large, dark red mark that spread down half of his neck to one side of his face, looking quite eerie.

As soon as Li Yunfan stepped into the stone house, he felt a sudden chill, the temperature dropping several times over. With a thought, his cultivation technique activated automatically, and the coldness vanished instantly.

"Who are you, and why are you here?"

Although Yang Jingshen was suppressing the fire poison with all his might while sitting cross-legged, he still retained some of his divine sense outside his body. When Li Yunfan circulated his cultivation technique, the Foundation Establishment spiritual energy fluctuations that he unintentionally emitted were naturally sensed by him. So he opened his eyes directly and questioned him sharply.

"I was invited by Yang Qingqi to treat your fire poison. The rest of your Yang family members have all seen me. I'm currently outside the stone house. You can sense me with a little divine sense," Li Yunfan said with a slight smile.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jingshen immediately spread his divine sense and indeed saw Yang Taizhong and the other two, as well as the Yang Qingqi sisters. Seeing that Li Yunfan was not lying, his expression softened, and he said with a wry smile.

"I never imagined that you were invited by Qingqi, fellow Daoist... The fire poison in my body is extraordinary. Even with my early Foundation Establishment cultivation, I cannot completely suppress it, let alone remove it. Although you are already in the mid-stage, without special methods, I'm afraid you are also powerless to help me..."

"We'll only know if it will work after we try."

Li Yunfan chuckled, then walked up to Yang Jingshen and began to observe him carefully. After a while, he went around to Yang Jingshen's back and observed him for a while.

After a moment of contemplation, he raised his hand and placed it on Yang Jingshen's back, his eyes slightly closed, his divine sense probing into the other's body along his arm.

After sensing Li Yunfan's divine sense probing, Yang Jingshen spoke softly.

"Fellow Daoist, there is no need to feel burdened. Since Qingqi invited you, regardless of whether you can cure this fire poison, I will offer you a reward to repay you for coming from afar."

Just as the other party finished speaking, Li Yunfan also finished his investigation, withdrew his palm, and said with a smile.

"I can cure your internal heat!"

"It's normal that you can't cure it, fellow Daoist... What! You can cure it, fellow Daoist!?"

Yang Jingshen had already prepared his words of thanks, but before he could even hear Li Yunfan's words clearly, he blurted them out. However, he immediately realized what he had said and exclaimed in disbelief.

"That's right. Although your fire poison is troublesome, I happen to be able to control it, so curing you shouldn't be a problem," Li Yunfan said with a slight smile.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jingshen's breathing quickened, and his face was filled with surprise and joy. He hurriedly asked again.

"Fellow Daoist, is what you say true?"

Seeing Li Yunfan nod, Yang Jing took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with excitement, his joy overflowing.

"I beg you, fellow Daoist, to help me remove the fire poison!"

"Is Fellow Daoist Yang being a little too hasty..." Li Yunfan said in a deep voice with a meaningful expression.

Yang Jingshen was taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly recovered and said apologetically.

"I was indeed anxious, please forgive me, fellow Daoist. But please rest assured, as long as you can help me remove the fire poison, I will definitely offer you a generous reward afterward, which will surely satisfy you!"

Li Yunfan chuckled and shook his head.

"I can help you remove the fire poison, and I don't want any compensation. I just want you to tell me truthfully how you contracted this fire poison and where exactly it happened."

The condition was not excessive, and even somewhat simple. However, Yang Jingshen frowned, his face showing hesitation and doubt, as if the condition were extremely difficult.

Seeing the other party's expression, Li Yunfan narrowed his eyes slightly, his mind racing, before speaking again.

"Fellow Daoist Yang, if I am not mistaken, your fire poison should be left by some kind of spiritual fire attack. I just want to know the specific location of the spiritual fire, and I have no other intentions."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jingshen did not answer immediately, but lowered his head and pondered for a moment before finally looking up at Li Yunfan and saying solemnly.

"Fellow Daoist is right. My fire poison was indeed caused by spiritual fire, but the location of this fire is a secret place of my Yang family, and this place is extremely important to my Yang family..."

Li Yunfan was overjoyed. There was indeed a spiritual fire here. If he could find its location and absorb and refine it, he could directly break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage!

"Fellow Daoist, you can rest assured. I only want the spirit fire. To be honest, this fire is very important to me. If you are willing to tell me, I am willing to pay a sum of spirit stones in exchange, and I will still remove the fire poison from your body."

Yang Jing took a deep breath, finally made up his mind, and nodded.

"In that case, please help me remove the fire poison. Once I recover, I will personally lead you to the Land of Spirit Fire!"

"Very well! I hope you'll keep your word, otherwise I won't hesitate to cause a huge scene at your Yang family! Of course, I mean what I say; I won't touch anything except the spirit fire!"

Li Yunfan stared into Yang Jingshen's eyes and spoke these words without any emotion. Although he was not afraid of any tricks the other party might play, this spiritual fire was very important to him after all. He did not want the other party to suddenly go back on his word after healed him, causing him to miss this great opportunity.
