Chapter 55
Sister Wan'er, you've mistakenly cultivated the path of love!
Qin Yi arrived at the residence of Liao Santong, an alchemist in Fenghua City.
After identifying themselves.
Upon receiving the news, Liao Santong immediately rushed to Qin Yi's side as quickly as possible.
At this moment, he finally understood why such a small task of his had alarmed Liu Yan, the master of Yao Guang Palace of Tianxing Martial Academy.
It turns out that the person who accepted this commission was actually Qin Yi!
Of course he knew about Qin Yi's situation.
At this moment, Liao Santong even suspected that the fire that burned down the Qin family branch's mansion in Fenghua City to ruins in the middle of the night might have been Liu Yanqian's doing!
Qin Yi didn't waste any words with Liao Santong. He directly took out the Black Wind Stronghold Chief's head and handed it to Liao Santong, saying, "Alchemist Liao, please take a look. Is this the head you wanted?"
Liao Santong stared at the Black Wind Chieftain's head, and instantly, bloodshot veins appeared in his eyes!
"yes!"
"This ruthless bandit, who committed countless atrocities, murdered my descendants!"
"Young Master Qin, thank you for beheading this scoundrel!"
"This is the reward I gave you for the mission I commissioned Tianxing Martial Academy to issue. Please keep it safe, Young Master Qin, and take it back to Tianxing Martial Academy!"
As he spoke, Liao Santong took out a box with talismans attached to it.
After Qin Yi took the box, he did not remove the seal on the talisman. He didn't care what was inside the box at all.
The key point is that he knows Liao Santong doesn't have the guts to fool Tianxing Martial Academy.
Qin Yi put the box into his storage ring and cupped his hands, saying, "Master Liao, then I'll return to Tianxing Martial Academy."
"Wait!" Liao Santong called out.
"Does Master Liao have any further guidance?" Qin Yi asked.
Liao Santong said, "I'd like to thank Young Master Qin for making this trip. There's something else I'd like to give you."
This task was to be completed by Qin Yi. Even Liu Yan, the Palace Master of Yaoguang Palace, came. In addition, the Qin family branch was destroyed, and the implications have become very significant. Liao Santong dared not let Qin Yi go back so easily.
Even though he had already paid the reward he promised to Tianxing Martial Academy, he still had to give Qin Yi some other benefits out of respect for Liu Yan.
Qin Yi's eyes flashed, and a look of curiosity appeared on his face. He asked, "I wonder what Alchemist Liao plans to give me?"
He did not politely decline.
He also knew that Liao Santong was going to give him something extra, which was most likely related to Liu Yan.
When Qin Yi arrived here, Ding Ye had already sent him a telepathic message, telling him that the aura of Liu Yan, the master of Yao Guang Palace, was nearby. Obviously, Liu Yan had not found him, so she came to Liao Santong's place to wait for him.
"Young Master Qin, please follow me."
Liao Santong led Qin Yi into a secret room.
Upon entering the secret chamber, Qin Yi immediately felt an extremely scorching heat.
Inside the sealed room, invisible waves of air surged, making one feel as if they were surrounded by a raging inferno.
However, Qin Yi dealt with this situation with ease. He simply accelerated the circulation of the top-grade golden core within his body, and the power of the top-grade golden core flowed out on the surface of his body, as if nothing had happened.
His gaze was fixed on a stone placed in the middle of the secret room.
The stone is reddish and about the size of a fist.
All the heat emanates from it.
Liao Santong stood beside the crimson stone, took a deep breath, and said, "Young Master Qin, this is a spark of fire that I obtained by chance years ago!"
"This flame is called the Crimson Sun Flame. It belongs to the level between top-grade spiritual fire and low-grade Dao fire, and can barely be considered a quasi-Dao fire."
"I am old and have limited talent, so I have never been able to refine the Crimson Sun Fire."
"Originally, I intended for my descendants to refine this Crimson Sun Fire, but... my descendants suffered a great calamity and died at the hands of the Black Wind Chieftain."
"Right now, leaving the Crimson Sun Fire here is a waste."
"If Young Master Qin can refine the Crimson Sun Flame, then consider it a small token of my appreciation."
Qin Yi's eyes flashed.
Martial arts practitioners can condense flames using their own physique, or release flames through certain techniques and secret methods.
But there is another kind of flame, which is born alongside heaven and earth.
The grades of this type of flame are classified in the same way as physical constitution: spiritual fire, Dao fire, holy fire, and divine fire.
Tianxing Martial Academy also has this type of fire seed, which can be exchanged for with Star Points, but it is extremely expensive.
Even the price of a spirit fire is between 100,000 and 300,000 star points.
For a low-grade Dao Flame, the minimum cost is 500,000 Star Points.
A quasi-Dao fire like this is roughly equivalent to 400,000 star points.
For alchemists and weapon refiners, this kind of fire from heaven and earth is extremely important. Of course, it also has a great role for martial artists.
In battle, if one can unleash the fire of heaven and earth, there is no doubt that the destructive power will increase dramatically!
Qin Yi withdrew his gaze from the stone containing the Crimson Sun Fire, and looked at Liao Santong, saying, "Alchemist Liao, this... is far too precious."
He knew from the beginning that Liao Santong's extra gift to him was related to Liu Yan.
If it's something decent, he'll just buy it.
But this Crimson Sun Fire... is ridiculously valuable!
Liao Santong said, "I have a request."
Qin Yi said, "Please tell me, and I'll see if I can do it."
Liao Santong: "The Qin family branch in Fenghua City was wiped out, and I am inextricably linked to this. Once the Qin family's wrath erupts, I will surely die. Therefore, I want to leave Fenghua City and live in the city where Tianxing Martial Academy is located now."
Qin Yi looked surprised: "The Qin family branch in Fenghua City has been wiped out?"
"really?"
"What a gratifying thing!"
Liao Santong: "..."
Did Qin Yi really know nothing about it?
Could it be that Liu Yan did it casually?
Liu Yan, hidden in the shadows: "..."
It wasn't this kid who did it?
Could it be a coincidence?
The next moment, Liu Yan transmitted her voice to Qin Yi: "Promise him, it's a piece of cake. Whether it's sending him to Tianxuan City or Yaoguang City, it's no problem."
Qin Yi's expression of shock deepened, as if he was extremely surprised that Liu Yan was nearby.
Life is like a play.
It all comes down to acting skills.
Immediately afterward, Qin Yi took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. He looked at Liao Santong and said, "This is not difficult. I can agree to Master Liao's request."
Immediately, Liao Santong's tense nerves relaxed.
A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
He said, "Young Master Qin, why don't you give it a try?"
Qin Yi hummed in agreement, took a few steps forward, and came to the red stone containing the spark of fire.
next moment.
He raised his right arm.
He grabbed with his right hand.
Suddenly, the Crimson Sun Fire erupted.
Suddenly, a terrifying crimson flame erupted from the surface of this red stone, like a small crimson sun, radiating a magnificent and awe-inspiring aura.
Inside Qin Yi's body, the top-grade golden core accelerated its rotation, and a force of absorption burst forth from his palm.
Like a small crimson sun, the source of fire seeped into his palm and into his dantian at a visible speed.
He once possessed the Five Elements Dao Meridian, and even though the Five Elements Dao Meridian is now in Qin An, the seventh son of Qin Cang, his physical body still has an extremely high affinity for flames.
Moreover, Qin Yi had already comprehended the Flame Sword Intent.
Therefore, the Quasi-Dao Fire that Liao Santong had obtained for many years but could not refine and could only hide was absorbed by Qin Yi in just half a quarter of an hour.
A small, crimson sun appeared in Qin Yi's dantian, below the top-grade golden elixir.
Qin Yi was surprised to find that this quasi-Dao fire also had a tempering effect on top-grade golden cores, making the already spotless golden cores become more solid little by little!
Liao Santong watched the whole thing, and his heart was in turmoil.
Is this what a prodigy is like?
After Qin Yi accepted the Crimson Sun Flame, he looked at Liao Santong again and said, "Thank you, Alchemist Liao, for gifting me the Quasi-Dao Flame. Are you planning to come with me, Alchemist Liao?"
Liao Santong shook his head: "Young Master Qin, you should go back to Tianxing Martial Academy first. After all, I've spent most of my life in Fenghua City, and I still have some trivial matters to take care of."
Qin Yi hummed in agreement: "Master Liao, then I'll take my leave now. Don't worry, I'll make sure to fulfill my promise to you as soon as I get back!"
"Then I'll leave it to Young Master Qin!" Liao Santong cupped his hands in greeting.
Qin Yi disguised himself and managed to slip past the heavily guarded soldiers of Fenghua City before exiting the city gate.
Not long after.
Mu Wan, the mistress of Yaoguang Palace, appeared in front of Qin Yi in a flash.
Qin Yi bowed respectfully, saying, "I never expected that Palace Master Liu would secretly accompany me on this mission and protect my safety. I will definitely repay this kindness in the future!"
He had already figured out how to explain it to Liu Yan.
To be honest, Liu Yan felt a little guilty, after all, something had gone wrong...
"It's good that the mission is completed. As for how you completed it, I won't ask. After you return to Tianxing Martial Academy, you don't need to tell anyone."
There are too many suspicious aspects to this.
But there's no need to dig deeper.
Because Qin Yi is Wan'er's man.
He is the son of her senior brother Qin Dao.
She too had admired that man back then, but she didn't express it as passionately as Mu Wan.
Qin Yi was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Liu Yan wouldn't ask about the mission at all.
Yeah.
Even if Qin Yi had prepared a story, it would still be a lie and would have some flaws.
Liu Yan looked at Qin Yi, remained silent for a while, and then said, "Qin Yi, there's something that Sister Wan'er would never tell you even if she died, but I feel that I have to let you know."
Qin Yi's expression turned extremely serious, and he cupped his hands, saying, "Palace Master Liu, please speak!"
Liu Yan remained silent for a moment before saying, "Back then, Sister Wan'er mistakenly cultivated the Path of Love, but over the years, she has been suffering from the backlash due to the problems with the cultivation method..."
