The most useless spiritual root at the beginning, I just want to play badly

"This is just a small part." Uncle Qiu's eyes showed a trace of deep thought. He said in a deep voice, "That sky-burning flame is no ordinary flame." He paused and added in a low voice, "I guess if it weren't for this flame, Xue Ming wouldn't have ended up in such a mess just now."

The two were talking in low voices when suddenly, they heard footsteps coming from the front. They were startled for a moment and looked up to see an elderly man slowly walking towards them from the heavy rain.

Strangely, despite the heavy rain, not a single drop of water touched the old man's body, as if he possessed some mysterious power that could ward off the raindrops around him. The old man walked leisurely, seemingly unhurried, with a calm smile on his face, his eyes occasionally glancing at the two men facing each other.

Xue Ming panted in dismay. Although his flying sword was destroyed, he refused to admit defeat. With a gloomy expression, he pulled a pill from his bosom and quickly swallowed it. After a moment, the spiritual energy in his body rapidly recovered. As the spiritual energy recovered, Xue Ming's flying sword gradually recovered in the faint light, but its power was clearly greatly reduced, having lost its former deterrent power.

"You still can't do it." Lin Changan looked at Xue Ming coldly, with a hint of contempt in his voice. At this moment, Xue Ming's face was ashen, and his eyes were even more gloomy. The humiliation and anger in his heart were almost bursting out, but he still endured it and refused to retreat.

As the two continued to confront each other, the old man finally stopped, his hands behind his back, and his gaze slowly fell on Lin Changan. His eyes were filled with deep admiration, as if he was admiring a rare treasure.

"Young man, you are truly extraordinary." The old man's voice was like the whisper of an old tree, hoarse and full of charm. "That move just now was truly impressive. The Sky-Burning Flame is truly a rare and miraculous technique in the heavens."

Lin Chang'an looked at the old man calmly, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes. He knew that such a person would never pass by without reason. "Who are you, senior?" he asked calmly.

The old man smiled faintly and approached the two men at a leisurely pace. After stopping, he said slowly, "My name is Shen Yuanhua, and I am an elder of the Shenyin Sect, thousands of miles away. Seeing that you are so young and can perform such powerful fire magic, I have a few ideas in mind."

"The Hidden God Sect?" Bing Hongbin was stunned when he heard this, his eyes filled with confusion and curiosity. "That's a well-known sect in the cultivation world. Are you really an elder of the Hidden God Sect?"

Shen Yuanhua nodded gently, with a faint smile on his face: "That's right."

Uncle Qiu raised his eyebrows slightly, already forming a hypothesis, but remained silent. Shen Yuanhua's gaze fixed on Lin Chang'an, his tone becoming gentler. "Young man, the power of fire you just displayed is somewhat similar to the 'Fire Phoenix Flame' of my Shenyin Sect. If you wish, I can introduce you to my sect."

Hearing this, Lin Chang'an's eyes flickered slightly. Although he was hesitant, he remained calm. "I appreciate your kindness, Senior Shen, but I'm not familiar with the rules of the Shenyin Sect. Please discuss this in more detail."

Shen Yuanhua smiled slightly, his eyes gentle, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry to answer. He just slowly turned his gaze to Xue Ming, with a hint of amusement in his eyes: "This young man, I am quite interested."

Xue Ming's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Although he didn't want to admit it, he clearly felt an inexplicable pressure in Shen Yuanhua's eyes. This pressure made him feel a little uncomfortable, and he even regretted his provocation.

Seeing this, Shen Yuanhua turned to Lin Changan and said softly, "However, instead of joining my Shenyin Sect, your talent might be more suitable for a more special place."

"Oh?" Lin Chang'an was slightly stunned, a trace of doubt flashing through his mind, "Could it be that what you are referring to is some hidden force?"

"You can understand it that way." Shen Yuanhua smiled mysteriously, then retracted his gaze and looked up at the sky, as if pondering something. "In this world, there are many hidden powers, far beyond the reach of ordinary sects. If you can stand out from them, you will surely reach a higher peak."

As he spoke, Shen Yuanhua's expression seemed extremely indifferent, but his words revealed a deep temptation, as if he was looking forward to Lin Changan's future.

Although Lin Chang'an remained calm, he had already made a judgment in his heart. Shen Yuanhua seemed to have some unknown purpose, and his temptation was undoubtedly an attempt to win him over.

Shen Yuanhua unleashed a few quick, concise moves, imbued with a powerful aura, as if each one was a challenge to Lin Chang'an's strength. He fixed his gaze on Lin Chang'an, determined to demonstrate his strength, hoping to attract his attention and secure his place under his tutelage.

However, Lin Chang'an remained undeterred by the opponent's imposing presence. He glanced coldly at Shen Yuanhua, his gaze revealing a calm indifference. Facing Shen Yuanhua's attacks, Lin Chang'an knew they were no challenge at all. Although the opponent exuded the aura of a powerful being, it was unable to shake him in the slightest.

"These are just some little tricks." Lin Chang'an sneered in his heart, his eyes flashed, and he attacked without hesitation, easily resolving those attacks that were as simple as the wind blowing through the grass.

"Don't you think that I don't need to be entangled with you anymore?" Lin Chang'an's tone was flat, but with an irresistible deterrent. Before he finished speaking, he seemed extremely oppressive.

Shen Yuanhua was stunned for a moment, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. Then he realized he had clearly underestimated Lin Chang'an's strength. He knew that a head-on confrontation with such a rare and powerful individual would likely yield no advantage. So, Shen Yuanhua, with a sudden thought, simply withdrew his aura, smiled faintly, and said, "Since that's the case, I will not bother you any further. Perhaps I can point you to the place you're looking for."

Hearing Shen Yuanhua's concession, Xue Ming's eyes flashed with resentment, but he could not refute it and could only turn away in frustration. At this moment, he resented Lin Changan's strength even more, and the feeling of frustration spread in his heart.

"Get out." Lin Changan's voice was cold, but it carried an unquestionable sense of command.

Seeing this, Shen Yuanhua's smile softened, and he secretly praised Lin Chang'an for his extraordinary abilities. Not only was he formidable, but his demeanor was unmatched by ordinary men. He thought for a moment, then abandoned his plans to recruit Lin Chang'an. Instead, he spoke more casually, "Sir, you are truly a truly exceptional talent, a rare find in this world. If the opportunity arises, I will certainly seek your guidance."
