After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 11 Fire Attribute

"This is... Yu Ling Water??" Meng Ling asked, her throat dry.

Although she was the youngest member of the Immortal Sect besides Mo Jiuwei, she was no less knowledgeable.

This is because before Meng Ling's spiritual root had any problems, as an elite disciple of a major sect with a lightning spiritual root, she enjoyed the best resources and had seen a lot of the world.

Even so, she had only seen the Yu Ling Water once; it was obtained by one of her fellow disciples, and she herself had no chance to obtain it.

And now, she actually saw him a second time at the Immortal Sect!
These two instances, one involving a top-tier sect and the other a small sect on the verge of extinction, highlight the stark difference between them.

"That's right, it's indeed Yuling Water." Old Liu's eyes were filled with boundless pride and satisfaction. "We've really hit the jackpot this time!"

"Goodness, there must be at least a dozen drops in here, right?" Hu Jiu exclaimed, clicking his tongue.

"More or less," Chen Lan said with a smile.

"A single drop of this Yuling Water costs over a thousand crystals, and we actually got more than a dozen drops at once? We're rich!" Ji Qingqing's eyes sparkled as if they were filled with stars.

"We won't sell them. We'll go back and dilute these Yu Ling waters for you to use."

"Ah?" Everyone was stunned.

Old Liu carefully put the cap back on the Yu Ling Water and put it back into his storage bag. He looked around and said, "We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's go back first."

Everyone knew the importance of the matter and responded with a simple "Yes!"

【Hmm?】Mo Jiuwei suddenly moved her head, as if sensing something.

Unbeknownst to her, her small gesture caused everyone in the Immortal Sect to stop or slow down, and to strain their ears to hear what she would say next.

Because whenever she made such a move in the past, it meant that she had made some major discovery!
[Such a powerful fire attribute! What kind of energy fluctuation is this?]

It seems to be right at the foot of that mountain in front of us, very close!

Just as Mo Jiuwei was thinking this, she heard Old Man Liu exclaim, "I think I'm sensing some kind of fluctuation. What about you guys?"

Everyone glanced at Liu Feng silently, thinking to themselves, "Uncle-Master, your reaction was really quick."

"I..." Chen Lan was about to speak when she heard Mo Jiuwei's thoughts.

[No, we can't go there. All the experts are nearby right now, and the competition for the fire attribute there will definitely be even fiercer than for the Yu Ling Water!]

We're too weak, we have to avoid this!

Mo Jiuwei waved her hand anxiously, trying to dissuade them from going there.

As for Yuling Water, it's fine, but they only got a share because there was another cave entrance that allowed them to get there first.

But fire-attribute stuff won't work; its aura is too strong, making it difficult to find any loopholes.

Don't end up losing out on the prize and getting yourself caught in the process.

Upon hearing this, Old Liu almost broke out in a cold sweat.

Goodness, thank goodness we didn't go, otherwise our newly acquired treasure would have been lost along with them!

"Uncle Liu, let's not go. There are many powerful figures nearby, and we're afraid we won't get any benefits," Yi Xingyun advised.

Old Liu glanced at him upon hearing this, pretended to think for a moment, and then nodded, "What you said... makes sense. In that case, let's take a look from a distance."

If I'm just passing by and taking a quick look, without getting involved in the fight, then it should be fine, right?

If there really is a leak, then there will be a chance to pick it up, right?
"That's more like it." Mo Jiuwei was relieved.

So the group walked forward, deliberately keeping a little distance from each other and not walking too close.

Before long, they saw numerous beams of light streak across the sky—powerful beings riding flying magical artifacts. This sight chilled the hearts of the Immortal Sect members; they hadn't expected them to arrive so quickly. With this, there was truly no chance left!

But once she got closer, Mo Jiuwei became more at ease.

[So it was an evil object. It's good that I can't have it.]

I wonder who will be so unlucky as to snatch it up.

The members of the Immortal Sect raised their eyebrows and relaxed as well.

Meanwhile, in the fire element area, numerous powerful beings clashed once again.

Just now, everyone finally finished fighting and went to grab the Yu Ling Water, but who knew that after only a few drops, the Yu Ling Water was gone!

This made everyone furious, their eyes red with anger, and they were filled with regret for being too slow and arriving too late.

Just when I was feeling simmering with anger and nowhere to vent it, I unexpectedly sensed the arrival of a strong fire attribute. It was truly a case of "after the darkest hour comes the dawn."

So the group immediately changed course and ran towards the source, and then started fighting without saying a word.

After fighting for only a short while, someone suggested, "How about we take a break? Or should we go and see what's inside first, so we don't waste time like we did with Yu Ling Shui?"

These words struck a chord with everyone, and after thinking about it, they realized that it seemed to be true.

The crucial time for collecting Yu Ling Water was wasted because of the prolonged fighting. If the fighting step had been skipped, perhaps a few more drops of Yu Ling Water could have been collected.

"Alright, let's take a look at what it is together and then decide who gets it." Someone quickly responded.

This was unanimously agreed upon, so the group temporarily ceased fighting and headed towards the forest where the location was.

The dense forest wasn't large, and it was nestled between the foothills of two mountains, forming a triangle, so there was no other entrance besides this place.

The people of the Immortal Sect witnessed those powerful figures enter the dense forest, and they could not see any more.

"Alright, let's go too," said Old Liu.

Anyway, it's nothing good. I wanted to see the excitement but couldn't because it's too far away. In that case, it's best to leave as soon as possible.

Everyone agreed, and so they prepared to head out of the mountains.

Only a quarter of an hour had passed when a loud bang shook the earth.

"What's that noise?" Hu Jiu was startled.

"Looks like a fight has broken out over there," Du Yue said.

By this time, they must have discovered the evil spirits there.

[Tsk, getting tainted by evil spirits is hard to shake off. Those people... they're probably going to die there.]

Mo Jiuwei sighed inwardly.

No way? Those were all powerful cultivators at the Golden Core stage or above. Could they all have perished here?
Everyone was shocked and confused.

"Oh my god, look!" Chen Lan suddenly exclaimed, turning around and pointing to the sky.

There was a beam of fire shooting straight into the sky, and then flames rose from the ground, setting the horizon ablaze.

But what truly ignited was not the sky, but... the forest.

The dense forest burst into flames.

"Fire! We have to get out of here!" Old Liu turned around and saw that the dense forest was now covered by fire. His expression changed as he spoke.
