Women generally care a lot about their appearance, so judging from the appearance of the few female elders present, almost none of them were over thirty years old.

Take, for example, the young female elder named Huo Xuan. She has a fiery and straightforward personality. Don't let her youthful appearance fool you; she's not only young in character but also in appearance. In reality, she's an elder of the Xuan generation and, moreover, Li Xuanjian's senior uncle.

Men have different personalities and different attitudes towards their appearance. Therefore, the male elders present were of all ages.

In short, Dao Xuan, as the sect leader, was not only the oldest among them, but also the one with the highest cultivation level.

The higher you climb, the colder it gets. When you're on your way forward and no one is around to help you find common ground, you'll also have no partners to verify your judgments.

Dao Xuan had been stuck at the mid-stage of the Void Refining and Dao Integration realm for a long time. He took over this battle from Qing Xuan, actually hoping to use it as an opportunity to break through.

While he was concealed in the air earlier, Dao Xuan also sensed Lani's aura, and he estimated that Lani was probably a few points stronger than him. Choosing Lani as his opponent for breakthrough was just right.

As for Zikomo, he wasn't even on his radar. After all, Zikomo could see through his concealment techniques.

Dao Xuan's concealment technique allows him to remain undetected by those two minor realms above him, meaning that Qi Kemo is at least a Perfected Refinement of Emptiness and Integration of Dao.

As for what lies beyond that, that's the realm of terrestrial immortals. That's a legendary realm, and Dao Xuan didn't dare to even consider it.

In fact, Dao Xuan misjudged the strength of Qikomo and Lani.

Strictly speaking, both Zicomo and Lani are at the level of gods, corresponding to the terrestrial immortals in Dao Xuan's mind.

However, Lani is still in the growth stage. In terms of both strength and aura, she has not yet reached the terrifying level of an adult. This is why Dao Xuan had the illusion that Lani was only slightly stronger than him.

However, Lani's realm was what it was. Although the total amount of magic power in her body was only slightly higher than Dao Xuan's magic power, the quality of her magic power was many times higher than Dao Xuan's.

Zicomo could see the eagerness in Daoxuan's eyes, and he couldn't wait to see Lani beat Daoxuan up.

Don't get me wrong, Zicomo and Daoxuan have no grudge against each other; he just wants to watch the show.

“If this fellow Daoist doesn’t mind, we can begin now,” Dao Xuan said to Lani.

He's at his peak right now and doesn't need any adjustments.

Lani naturally had no objections; she had only used up a little energy just now, and recovered in a single breath.

Seeing that Lani agreed, Dao Xuan led Qi Kemo and the others to the martial arts arena of Mount Shu, where the disciples of Mount Shu competed.

There were some Shushan disciples sparring here before, but after seeing Qingxuan Daoist's distress signal, these disciples hid.

Because that was a distress signal to summon the elders, the sect rules stipulated that disciples must hide after seeing it and wait for the elders' instructions; otherwise, going up there would be a waste of their time.

There's no one here now, so it's perfect for Daoxuan and Lani to fight.

The two stood on opposite sides of the training ground, their auras constantly rising, both in a state of readiness to unleash their power.

Meanwhile, Zicomo noticed that Hermione, the little witch, wasn't very interested.

Zicomo reached out and ruffled Hermione's hair, asking softly, "What's wrong?"

"Cousin, compared to Lani, am I really useless?" the little witch said, her head bowed.

"Why did you suddenly have this idea again?" Zicomo asked.

“I clearly released my aura just now, but none of them noticed me. I also want to do something for you, cousin, like Lani did,” Hermione said dejectedly.

Hearing this, Zicomo smiled and said, "Silly girl, you're not even fifteen yet, and you're already better than many people. There's no need to be so self-deprecating. If you..."

Before Zicomo could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice behind him.

“Indeed, I heard from Xiao Li that you are still in school. To have this kind of strength at this age is to be considered a prodigy even in a sect.”

The two turned around and saw Elder Huo Xuan in a red robe.

Perhaps due to the misunderstanding that had arisen before, Zicomo and Hermione were all alone, and now only Huo Xuan approached them.

"Elder Huo Xuan? You understand English?" Zicomo asked.

Zicomo was speaking English with Hermione just now, but he didn't expect Huo Xuan to understand it.

"Of course, I'm not one of those old-fashioned men. I even traveled to England a few years ago. But back then, there was some kind of demon called 'Lying Demon,' and I didn't find it fun, so I came back. By the way, just call me Big Sister, calling me Elder makes me sound too old."

Upon hearing this, Zicomo's lips twitched.

"What the hell is Voldemort?!" Voldemort would want to punch someone if he heard that.

“Alright, what does Sister Huo Xuan need us for?” Zicomo asked.

"Nothing much, I was just curious about you and came over to chat," Huo Xuan said, waving his hand. "By the way, you didn't seem to finish what you were saying earlier. What were you trying to say?"

Zicomo raised an eyebrow; this Elder Huoxuan was certainly quite the social butterfly.

"What I meant was, if Hermione really wants to help me with something, then help me beat up Qingxuan Daoist. Sister Huoxuan won't mind, will she?"

"Hahaha! Good lad, you've got guts!" Huo Xuan laughed. "Of course I don't mind. In fact, many elders would be happy to see Qing Xuan get beaten up. But I think this little girl's cultivation level is a bit lower than Qing Xuan's. Can she beat him?"

“Realm level doesn’t necessarily mean strength. Isn’t there a term called ‘challenging someone of a higher level’?” Zicomo said.

...... ........ ...

Qi Kemo had noticed this during his brief exchange with Qing Xuan. Although these cultivators didn't need to use magic wands, they still needed to use hand seals and incantations when casting spells.

Although Hermione's cultivation level was slightly lower than Qingxuan's, she still possessed the magical cat form of the Animagus.

In this form, she doesn't need a wand to cast spells; the spells inherited from the Dragonblood Clan can even be cast instantly.

Therefore, if Hermione were to fight Qingxuan, it would be uncertain who would win.

Huo Xuan gave a thumbs up and said, "You're confident enough. I admire energetic young people like you."

"By the way, is that your fiancée on the field? She's so fierce, can you usually keep her in check?" Huo Xuan suddenly asked gossipy.

“It’s not a matter of suppressing or overpowering each other; we respect each other very much. Besides, how do you know I’m not stronger than her?” Zicomo laughed.

"No way?" Huo Xuan exclaimed in surprise.

The battle had already begun, and Lani, with her superior magic, was firmly in control of Dao Xuan.

Huo Xuan watched as Lani dominated Dao Xuan, and then looked at the smiling Qi Kemo beside him. It was hard to imagine that Qi Kemo was even stronger than Lani.

"Guess why I can see where your sect leader is hiding?" Zicomo asked in return.

Huo Xuan suddenly realized that she had also heard of their sect leader's concealment technique, which required at least two minor realms higher than the caster to see through. In that case, Qi Kemo was indeed stronger than Lani.

"Young brother, tell your elder sister the truth, are you really not some great power reincarnated and cultivating again?" Huo Xuan asked.

It's no wonder she had such doubts; to reach Hermione's level of strength at the age of fourteen or fifteen was already considered monstrous.

It's illogical that Zicomo and Lani are stronger than their sect leader.

In fact, Zicomo and Lani's situations are similar to those of reincarnation and rebirth.

Zicomo was transferred directly from another world, and Lani's body was reconstructed by Zicomo, so it wouldn't be wrong to say that she was reincarnated and rebuilt.

However, these were things that couldn't be said, so Zicomo shook his head helplessly and said, "We really aren't."

Chapter 179 The Precious Fire Essence: The Key to Becoming a God

Huo Xuan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Qi Kemo's negative answer.

She continued, "That's good, now I can call you 'little brother' without worry."

Zicomo was speechless for a moment. So you asked about this just for this reason?

"By the way," Zikomo changed the subject, "Does Sister Huoxuan have any disciples in the sect?"

Huo Xuan waved his hand and said, "No, why would I accept such awful stuff? I'm perfectly happy on my own."

"So what do you usually do at the sect?"

Zicomo was a little curious; this woman didn't seem like the type to stay in this paradise. Didn't you see she went to England for fun back then?

"Ugh, don't even mention it. These days, all I do at the sect is refine weapons and alchemy; it's incredibly boring. Oh, and you probably don't know, do you? I'm the elder in both weapon refining and alchemy at the sect..."

Huo Xuan complained for a while, explaining her general situation.

It turns out that Huo Xuan is also a genius. From a young age, she had an extremely high affinity for fire, possessing a special constitution that allowed her to put her hand into flames without being harmed.

After joining the Shu Mountain sect, her unique physique sparked a bidding war among the weapon-refining elders and alchemy elders, who saw her as a natural-born weapon-refining (alchemy) talent.

Unable to reach an agreement, the two elders decided to teach her together to see which path suited her best.

Huo Xuan did not disappoint the two elders. She was intelligent and had a photographic memory. She also had remarkable talent in weapon crafting and alchemy.

So the two elders poured all their efforts into Huo Xuan, nurturing a genius who was proficient in both alchemy and weapon crafting.

Perhaps they had used up all their luck by recruiting the genius Huo Xuan, because the two elders never encountered another disciple with the aptitude for weapon crafting (alchemy) after that.

The weapon-refining elders and alchemy elders of each sect are invaluable members of the sect. Because alchemy and weapon-refining require extremely high qualifications, some sects have even experienced situations where they cannot recruit disciples, leading to the extinction of their lineage.

Therefore, in order to protect their own elders specializing in weapon crafting (alchemy), sects generally do not allow them to go out and run around.

The reason Huo Xuan was able to go to England was because she was still a disciple of the sect at that time and needed to go out for training.

After the passing of the two elders in weapon crafting and alchemy, Mount Shu recalled Huo Xuan, and both positions fell to her.

Since then, Huo Xuan has rarely left the sect.

In reality, Mount Shu didn't restrict Huo Xuan in any way; she could still go out whenever she wanted. However, each time she went out, two elders would accompany and protect her.

Huo Xuan felt uncomfortable going out to play, and over time he became too lazy to go out.

“If you’re feeling annoyed, why don’t you go out for a walk to clear your head?” Zicomo suggested.

"Didn't I just say that? If someone follows me when I go out, I'll feel uncomfortable and it will only make things more annoying," Huo Xuan said.
