Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 340: Ranking of Strange Fires
Not long after Song Xian escaped from the light, he saw a flash of light in the distance, and he hurried towards it.

I saw the golden giant ape transformed by Han Yuan fighting fiercely with the big man.

The big man looked like he was at the end of his strength, his face was pale, and the red light shield condensed around his body was already crumbling under the giant ape.

After Song Xian arrived, he immediately joined the battle and used the Fire Meteor. Flames rose between his palms and turned into huge fireballs that shot towards the opponent.

He was no match for Han Yuan in the first place. He had tried every possible means, but was still defeated and could only struggle to hold on.

Now that Song Xian has joined, they are no match for their opponent. After a short stalemate, the Han Dynasty can no longer hold on. Perhaps they know their fate.

He kept cursing loudly and hysterically, like a shrew in the market, but in the end, his head was smashed by a punch from the golden giant ape transformed by Han Yuan.

The moment his body fell, Song Xian immediately flashed to his side, took off the storage bag from his waist, and searched his body.

Han Yuan changed his form and returned to his original form. Seeing him take the storage bag, he did not stop him.

"Friend Han, let's divide the contents of this storage bag!"

Song Xian didn't want to ruin the relationship because of this small storage bag. He just wanted to take the black scroll and he was not really interested in the treasures inside.

Han Yuan nodded, and Song Xian took out the contents of the storage bag one by one in front of him.

There are 80,000 spirit stones, three books of different colors, various elixirs, such as Qi-recovering elixirs, detoxification elixirs, water-repellent elixirs, heart-protecting elixirs, bone-growing elixirs, limb-repairing elixirs, etc., several precious spirit medicines, a set of formations, several magic tools, and many other scattered things.

Casual cultivators usually carry their belongings with them. Although this He Luola has joined a sect as a guest elder, his important things must be in his storage bag.

Song Xian first found the black scroll. He didn't know what material it was made of. It looked like paper, but it felt very heavy in his hand, like a piece of stone. It also felt extremely smooth to the touch, like human skin.

The scroll is engraved with dense black rune patterns, like a bunch of ghostly talismans. This scroll looks ordinary, but it can actually seal the Xuan Luo Yin Fire, which is really incredible.

Now was not the time to study this thing, so he put away the scroll and picked up the golden book. He was shocked at first glance because the golden book actually recorded various kinds of flames.

He flipped through the book rapidly, his heart filled with shock beyond words, his mind filled with ecstasy, and even his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.

This book records a total of twenty-four kinds of strange fire, including not only patterns but also the characteristics of each kind of strange fire.

Among them is the record about the Golden Crow Flame. It turns out that the Golden Crow Flame was originally called the Red Sun Golden Flame. The book records that the legend says that the Red Sun Golden Flame is a wing of the fairy beast Golden Crow. After going through vicissitudes of life, it absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon and was transformed. It is a yang fire, and the flame is golden, in the shape of a Golden Crow.

The Red Sun Golden Flame ranks twelfth among the strange fires recorded in this book.

The Xuanluo Yin Fire ranks seventh. According to the book, the Xuanluo Yin Fire is transformed from a wisp of essence of the Yinsi Xuan Snake. It is a Yin fire, and the flame is black and shaped like a Xuan Snake.

The twenty-four kinds of flames recorded in the book are generally divided into two attributes: yin and yang.

Yin fire has a restraining effect on spiritual things, while yang fire also has a restraining effect on the magic and supernatural powers of demons and monsters.

Among all the strange fires recorded in the book, the one ranked first is called Qianyin True Flame, and the second is Xuanming Demon Fire.

But these two kinds of strange fire are not the strongest flames. The last few pages of the book record stronger flames.

There is the Sun Essence Fire, which is a fusion of three yang flames.

There is Taiyin Hellfire, which is a fusion of three yin flames.

The twenty-four kinds of strange fire recorded in the book can all be fused together to form more powerful flame sources.

The more Song Xian read, the more excited he became. He didn't know where He Luola got this book of the list of strange fires from. It was certain that this book was not his. It must have been obtained from some ruins. Presumably, this black scroll and the sealed Xuan Luo Yin Fire were also from those ruins.

He remembered that during the battle just now, when he used the Golden Crow Flame to counter the Xuan Luo Yin Fire, Horola seemed to shout something, but because they were too far away and he was fully focused on using the Xuan Tian Rong Huo Jue, he did not notice.

Looking back now, he should have recognized the Golden Crow Flame, no, it was the Red Sun Golden Flame.

Song Xian suppressed his surging joy and tried to pretend nothing had happened. He closed the book, put it in his pocket, and picked up the other two books to take a look.

Compared with this golden book, the other two books are not worth mentioning. One of them contains earth-level mid-grade skills and spells with local attributes, and the other one records supernatural powers.

As for where the black scroll came from and how it was made, there is no clue.

Song Xian originally wanted to check whether any of these books contained the origin or refining methods of the black scroll, but he didn't expect to get this book recording the strange fire, which is much more important than the origin of the black scroll.

The most important thing in the book is not the records of the strange fire. After all, it is useless to just recognize the strange fire and know its origin. The book does not record where these strange fires are born or where they can be obtained. These records alone can only increase his understanding of the strange fire. Compared with the more practical scroll that can seal the Xuanluo Yin Fire, it is a bit useless.

However, the method of fusing different fires recorded in the last few pages of the book was priceless to him.

"Friend Han, you already know that the martial arts I practice can absorb flames. This black scroll and the golden book will be beneficial to my martial arts. Can I take them away?" Song Xian tried hard to calm his excitement.

Han Yuan had certainly noticed his unusual behavior, especially when he immediately put the golden book into his storage bag after reading it. This was undoubtedly a cover-up. But he didn't say much. His goal had been achieved, and he didn't care much about anything else.

Although he was also curious about what was in the golden book, seeing Song Xian's actions, he knew that he was determined to get it. If he forced it, the two of them might become enemies, which would not be worth the loss for him, so he nodded in agreement.

"We were able to kill this man this time thanks to Fellow Daoist Song's help. Since these two items are so important to you, you should take them."

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Han. I don't need the rest of the storage bag, so it all belongs to you. If there's nothing else, we'll say goodbye. If you're back in Bianxi City in the future and have some free time, please come to our sect for a chat."

"it is good."

"Fellow Daoist Han is a man of his word, and he will not break his promise to me. However, you are a free spirit, and if I truly need your assistance in an emergency, I'm afraid I won't be able to find your place of residence. Could you please leave me an address so I can contact you promptly?"

"There's a small shop called Tingyu Pavilion in Longtou Valley, Xijiang County. If you have any urgent matters, you can go there."

"Goodbye." Song Xian said no more, and the light of escape rose up and flew eastward.

They traveled day and night and it took them more than one day to reach Luojia Mountain in the western part of the city.

At night, in the brightly lit room, Song Xian bent over the desk, reading the golden book over and over again until he memorized its contents by heart.

Among the twenty-four kinds of strange fire in the book, there are twelve kinds of Yin attribute strange fire, and the Qingxuan evil fire ranks twenty-fourth.

The twenty-first one is the Netherworld Cold Flame.

The eighteenth one is the Ghost Corpse Fire.

The fifteenth one is Xuandu Mingyan.

The fourteenth one is the White Bone Flame.

The thirteenth one is the Purple Earth Fire.

The tenth one is Tiandu Youhuo.

The eighth is the Qingyang Demon Fire. The seventh is the Xuanluo Yin Fire.

The sixth one is the Soul-Devouring Ghost Flame.

The fourth one is Qianyou Jiyan.

The second one is the Xuanming Demonic Fire.

The other twelve kinds of yang-attributed strange fire are Qingyang Chiyan, which ranks twenty-third.

The twenty-second one is the Golden Light Flame.

The 20th one is Mingyang Liehuo.

The nineteenth one is the Earth Lung Green Flame.

The seventeenth one is Yuan Ming Lie Yan.

The sixteenth one is the Xuanniao True Fire.

The twelfth one is the Red Sun Golden Flame.

The eleventh one is the Red Mysterious True Fire.

The ninth one is Yang Bai Baiyan.

The fifth one is the Buddha Lamp Green Fire.

The third one is Zi Yang Zhen Yan.

The first one is Qianyin Jiyan.

Among them, the three flames of White Bone Extreme Flame, Xuan Luo Yin Fire, and Qian You Extreme Flame can be refined into Taiyin Nether Fire.

The Red Sun Golden Flame, the Yuan Ming Fiery Flame, and the Purple Sun True Flame can be refined into the Sun's Essence Fire.

The book also states that there are twelve kinds of strange fire with yin and yang attributes, and every three flames can be fused into a more powerful strange fire. However, the recorder of this book does not know the steps, methods and materials for fusing the other flames, so there is no detailed description.

The author can only be sure of the two types of fusion fire: the Moon Fire and the Sun Fire.

Song Xian now possesses three kinds of strange fire, namely the Netherworld Cold Flame, the Red Sun Golden Flame, and the Xuan Luo Yin Fire.

Among them, the Red Sun Golden Flame is one of the materials of the Sun's Essence Fire, and the Xuan Luo Yin Fire is one of the materials of the Taiyin Nether Fire.

To refine these two kinds of fusion fire, you need to find two other types of strange fire.

However, these strange fires are hard to come by. He only knows the names of the strange fires now. The world is vast, and no one knows where the other strange fires are. Therefore, he can only give up for the time being and let the sect's intelligence center slowly inquire about the news of these strange fires.

.........

Time flies, and a few years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The war in Xijiang County was as still as a stagnant pool of water. The Beastmaster Sect and the Yunxuan Sect seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding. They no longer took the initiative to attack each other, but instead defended their own camps.

The development of Hunyuan Sect in recent years has been smooth. The Stone City Market has become known to more and more people. Its reputation and scale have gradually surpassed the Bianxi City Market. More and more Qin forces and Muhe grassland forces have moved in.

Taking advantage of the geographical and management advantages of the market town, Song Xian also reached more cooperation agreements with the Mingyue Sect of Humen City. Not only the flesh and blood of monsters, but also the spiritual medicines and mineral resources unique to the Muhe Grassland needed by Humen City were purchased from Tianshan. Just from the agreement reached with the Mingyue Sect, the Hunyuan Sect can profit from more than 100,000 spirit stones every year.

On this day, the sky was clear and cloudless. At the foot of the main peak of Tianshan Mountain, hundreds of disciples of Hunyuan Sect were lined up in an orderly manner, ready for battle. The leader was Song Xian.

He has seldom returned to Tianshan in recent years, and has spent most of his time practicing in Luojia Mountain. The reason he came back today and led many disciples to wait outside the mountain gate was just to welcome Lin Zixiang and other people who had returned from the expedition.

It was agreed at the beginning that the conscription period for cultivators would be no more than ten years. Now that the ten-year period has expired, all the cultivators who joined the Beastmaster Sect's conscription have returned to their respective sects one after another, and the disciples of the Hunyuan Sect are naturally no exception.

"Master, Senior Brother Lin and the others are already a hundred miles away from the mountain gate." In the distance, Zhang Ningyuan landed on a flying magic weapon and saluted him.

Song Xian nodded. He didn't have to come to Tianshan, he could have welcomed the returning disciples at Luojia Mountain, but considering that they had a farewell ceremony held at Tianshan when they left, he decided to welcome them at Tianshan.

After all, Tianshan is a place they are familiar with, so it seems more intimate and they don’t feel that things have changed and people have changed.

Not long after, a spirit ship was seen coming from a distance, and Song Xian gestured to Zhong Wenyuan.

Inside and outside the mountain gate, gongs and drums roared, firecrackers blasted, fireworks bloomed in the sky, and white cranes danced.

The spirit ship slowly landed in front of everyone. A beam of light shot down from it, revealing the figure of George Lam. The other disciples also jumped off the spirit ship.

"Welcome fellow disciples back to the mountain gate." More than a hundred disciples shouted in unison.

"Senior Brother Zixiang, brothers, thank you for your hard work." Song Xian took the initiative to greet them and nodded to everyone with a smile.

Of the eighty disciples before the departure, only a dozen have returned now, including Zhang Yi and Lin Quan, who died in Xijiang County and their bodies were never found. He felt sad in his heart, but this was a choice the sect had to make.

"Greetings, Master." George Lam was the first to bow and everyone else also bowed respectfully.

"You're welcome. A banquet has been prepared in the sect. Everyone, follow me!" Song Xian helped Lin Zixiang up and pulled his arm through the crowd. The others followed behind and came to the guest hall at the mountain gate, where delicacies and spiritual food and wine had been prepared.

Song Xian arranged the returning disciples to drink at the same table with him, asked them about their days in Xijiang County, and said many comforting and soothing words. After three rounds of drinks, one of the disciples actually burst into tears in public, which made everyone very emotional.

"Master, I have a suggestion, but I don't know whether I should say it." Just as the disciple was tearfully describing the tragic situation he encountered on the battlefield, George Lam suddenly spoke.

"Oh! Senior Brother Zixiang, please speak."

"The headmaster just said that all the disciples who participated in the conscription and died on the battlefield sacrificed their lives for the sect. The dead cannot be resurrected. I request that these returning disciples be promoted."

As soon as these words were spoken, the disciples all looked at Song Xian, while Zhong Wenyuan on the side frowned, and Zhang Ningyuan, Lu Yuan and others also looked sideways.

Song Xian nodded and said, "Brother Zixiang, this is a good suggestion! I was planning to do the same. Brother Wenyuan, please immediately have the Personnel Department formulate a plan. All returning disciples will be promoted one level higher. Those with outstanding contributions will be promoted as appropriate."

"Yes." Zhong Wenyuan nodded in response.

"Why don't you thank the master quickly?" Seeing that the others didn't respond, Lin Zixiang scolded in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Master." Everyone stood up and saluted.

Song Xian smiled slightly and waved his hand, indicating that everyone should take a seat. After the banquet, everyone dispersed.
