The monks of Jinling Sect live in several courtyards near the halfway point of a side peak of Xinglu Peak. This is considered the guest house of Xinglu Peak. It is built around the mountain and has dozens of courtyards. Even though they are guest houses, the shape and layout of each courtyard are different and each has its own characteristics.

"It really is a big sect. Even the guest house is so elegant and ingenious!" Su Mengjue exclaimed.

"And the spiritual energy is so rich." Shu Yeyu said.

The errand disciple put away the cloud chariot and handed Sui An and others over to the errand disciple of Xinglu Peak, who led them into a guest house.

Although the guest house does not look big from the outside, it uses a space formation inside, so there are quite a few rooms. In this way, each Jinling Sect cultivator can be assigned a room and no longer have to live with others.

The rooms had been assigned. Sui An found the room with her name on the door. After saying goodbye to Shu Yeyu and the other two, she was about to push the door open and go in. Suddenly, Fan Tuo called her. She turned around and heard him say, "Senior Sister, let's go find Senior Brother Shi tomorrow. We need to refine another furnace of Xiaoyu Dan every day before the preliminary round."

"Okay, maybe I'll have a surprise for you tomorrow!" Sui An smiled at him.

Fan Tuo's face was bewildered for a moment. Just as he was about to ask what the surprise was, Sui An had already entered the room. He had no choice but to scratch his head and ask Su Mengjue, who had not yet entered the room, "Senior Sister Su, what surprise did Senior Sister Sui mention?"

Su Mengjue shrugged at him, "Maybe it's just a shock."

Fan Tuo thought about Sui An's daily behavior and felt that this was possible.

As soon as Sui An entered the room, she immediately sat cross-legged, then stretched out her right hand with her palm facing up. Soon, a cluster of red flames containing gold appeared in her palm. It was Lie Que that Kuang Wei helped her subdue in the secret realm.

She saw the Lieque fire jumping in her palm, not beating regularly like the Dan fire, but rushing left and right, as if it was about to break free from her palm at any time and rush towards a freer and wider world.

Sui An silently recited the formula that Kuang Wei taught her, and made a seal with her left hand. However, the formula was difficult to pronounce and the hand seal was complicated. She tried several times before she could perfectly combine the two. When Lieque was flapping its little flame and almost jumped out of her palm, she made a hand seal on it, combined with the formula, and the originally cheerful and lively Lieque seemed to be hit by a club from behind, and immediately wilted.

Sui An was shocked, "Did I break it?"

"It's heavenly thunder and earthly fire, one of the most fiery combinations in the world. If it could be destroyed so easily by a few hand seals from a Qi-refining cultivator like you, then...tsk tsk, it doesn't need to be called Lie Que anymore. It can be renamed. Let me think of the most appropriate name. How about calling it Ruo Que? It's both weak and deficient, not bad!"

As Sui Dong was speaking, he thought of himself standing in front of the thunder and fire in the sky, shouting "weak" again and again. That must have been the time when he was the most powerful and the most beautiful. He couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Unexpectedly, its smile caused the flame that was lying in Sui An's palm and looked like it was about to go out to bounce up as if it had been pricked by a needle, and suddenly a long tongue of fire shot out.

Sui Dong's laughter stopped abruptly, and he muttered a complaint, "What a heartless person! He didn't even pretend to be dead for a while longer, and he came back to life with just a little provocation."

The flame jumping in the palm of the hand suddenly paused, then jumped again, but it was no longer as lively as before, and became much quieter.

Sui An calmed down and tried to control the Lie Que in her palm to move to the ground in front of her. After it stabilized a little, she immediately took out an alchemy furnace from her storage bag. Although this alchemy furnace was only a low-grade magic weapon, it cost her more than three hundred spirit stones.

"Master, there's an alchemy furnace in the storage bag Kuang Chebai gave you. Although it's not a magic weapon, it's far superior to yours. If you use Lieque Fire to refine pills, your furnace will be scrapped within three furnaces."

Sui Dong's words made Sui An stop what he was doing. He looked at the alchemy furnace in front of him. Although it was of low grade, it had an exquisite and unique shape. When he bought it, he thought that since he couldn't afford a high-grade one, he might as well buy a good-looking one first. It would also be pleasing to the eye when he was refining the alchemy, which was not bad.

"Alas, it seems that our fate is not destined to be together!" Sui An sighed.

Sui Dong couldn't help but complain, "If you don't want to sell it, how can you say it's a shallow fate?"

"It's worth hundreds of spirit stones. If I don't sell it, it'll just gather dust in my storage bag!"

"Where did the dust in the storage bag come from!" Sui Dong complained.

Sui An ignored it and probed her spiritual sense into the storage bag given to her by Kuang Wei. Sure enough, she saw a dark blue alchemy furnace among a pile of talismans, magical instruments and jade bottles. There were spirit-gathering runes engraved on the outer wall of the furnace. Sui An moved her mind, and the alchemy furnace appeared in the space in front of her, hanging right above the Lieque Fire.

Sui An rummaged through the spiritual herbs in her storage bag and could only practice with the cheapest fasting pills. She took out the ingredients for a set of fasting pills and began to try to control Lieque to refine the pills.

The Lieque Fire was indeed powerful, but it was also difficult to control. Sui An refined three batches of fasting pills that night. In the first two batches, the fire was too strong, so although the pills were formed, they were harder than stones, and there was not a trace of spiritual energy in them, which was all evaporated. If swallowed, it is not known whether the fasting could be achieved, but there is a high probability that the pills would be choked to death.

For the second batch of pills, Sui An was worried that he would make the same mistake as the first one, so he controlled the fire too tightly. As a result, when the pills were finally formed, the liquid was not condensed into pills in time, and the entire furnace was contaminated with spiritual herb paste. Fortunately, this was indeed a very good furnace, and it was cleaned up with a dust purification technique.

It was not until daybreak that the third batch of pills could barely be seen to be the appearance of the Qigong Pills, but they were only of the lowest quality, much worse than the ones Sui An had made using the fire source stone.

Although Sui An was a little frustrated about this, he was not too disappointed because he had been mentally prepared.

That night, Sui An did not rest, but was busy fighting wits and courage with Lie Quehuo.

Not long after daybreak, Fan Tuo arrived, and the two of them went to look for Shi Xu together.

"I was thinking before I went to bed last night, if you didn't come back today, or if you got injured in the secret realm, I would change my assistant."

Shi Xu glanced at the two of them with a look that said, "You're lucky."

"Senior Brother Shi, who do you want to replace? Have you forgotten how those senior brothers and sisters blocked the door before? And who helped you solve it?" Fan Tuo asked with a stern face.

Sui An felt a little helpless. The old man and the child, one liked to tease, and the other couldn't stand it. If they didn't quarrel for a day, it seemed like something was wrong.

Sui An said, "Brother Shi, you're still sleeping. Who said you should practice more before the competition? I spent the whole night refining pills."

Shi Xu stared at her for a while, then nodded, "Okay, let's go see the results of your practice last night."

Every spiritual peak of Lingque Sect, no matter it is an inner peak or an outer peak, has its own alchemy room, weapon refining room and other necessary places. The monks of Jinling Sect live in the guest house of Xinglu Peak. As one of the thirteen inner peaks of Lingque Sect, the scale of its alchemy room is not comparable to that of Jinling Sect. And because it is an inner peak of Lingque Sect, not many outside monks can live here, so in the end it is the monks of Jinling Sect who get the advantage. They can use the alchemy room, weapon refining room, library and other benefits that the disciples of Xinglu Peak have, and... they don't have to pay spirit stones.

"The Spirit Gathering Array is so good. Now if I get used to this concentration of spiritual energy, the competition..."

"Don't worry, this is the Lingque Sect, the strongest sect in Yunchuan. On the day of the competition, the spirit gathering array will be even bigger and the spiritual energy will be even richer. Let's get started!"

Shi Xu interrupted Fan Tuo's hesitation.

"Isn't it said that Lingque Sect and Chuyun Sect have not yet competed for the first place?" Sui An asked casually.

Shi Xu glared at him and said, "Who said that? How can the Chuyun Sect be compared with the Lingque Sect?"

Sui An and Fan Tuo both looked at Shi Xu, and their eyes expressed the same meaning, "So you are this kind of person, Senior Brother Shi. When you are in someone else's territory, you only say good things about them. You are really good at dealing with people and changing with the wind!"

He who knows the times is a hero, this is something you have to learn.
