In the war between humans and demons, it's not unreasonable for me to absorb demonic energy, is

"I wonder what brings Lord Huokong here?" Fan Tong asked, leaning forward unconsciously as he saw Huokong's serious expression.

"I want to teach you the ancestral secret technique, the Breath Concealment Technique. What do you think?" Huo Kong's voice was not loud, but his tone was very firm.

"What? Why is that?" Fan Tong suddenly stood up. Huo Kong's words were indeed unexpected and hard to understand.

"Young Master Fan, there's no need to get excited. I'm not teaching you for free; there are conditions."

"Oh? I don't know what the conditions are?"

"Actually, it's not complicated. Xian'er has just turned eight years old, and there are still two years before he can enter the Fengqing Sect to cultivate. But I want to teach you the Concealing Breath Technique on the condition that Xian'er enters the Fengqing Sect to cultivate now."

Huo Kong glanced at Huo Xian, who was sitting to the side, his eyes revealing a profound meaning that was hard to understand.

"In that case, there shouldn't be any major problems!" Fan Tong considered for a moment and then formally agreed.

Although Fan Tong himself didn't have the ability, he had Meng Yao. With Meng Yao's status as a core disciple of the Scripture Pavilion Master, handling this matter would be incredibly easy.

I've been living off women for a long time already, so one more time won't make a difference!

"It seems that Young Master Fan has already come up with a solution. I will now teach you the Concealing Breath Technique!" Huo Kong stared intently into Fan Tong's eyes, and seeing his calm expression, he felt reassured.

"Don't you need to wait until Huo Xian enters the Fengqing Sect before teaching me?" Fan Tong was somewhat surprised, not expecting Huo Kong to be in such a hurry.

"No need, I believe Young Master Fan is a man of his word!" Huo Kong laughed heartily, then stood up and led Fan Tong and Huo Xian toward the secret chamber.

As for the turmoil in the city lord's mansion caused by Ma Qiduo's capture, it was quickly quelled after the city lord of Huokong appeared.

"I really didn't realize that you, Lord Huo, had such high prestige!" Fan Tong couldn't help but sigh when he saw how the people in the city lord's mansion treated Huo Kong. No title is given for nothing.

"They are either people who have gone through thick and thin with me, or they are descendants of people who have gone through thick and thin with me. With this kind of kinship involved, everyone still has a lot of faith in me."

Huo Kong felt deeply moved as he looked at his subordinates who were greeting him one by one.

It was because of the existence of these people that I was able to persevere in this chaotic world!

"Come on, Xian'er, listen carefully! The Concealing Breath Technique is a secret technique of our Fire Clan, you need to put in some effort to master it!"

The three entered the secret chamber, and Huo Kong solemnly called Fan Tong and Huo Xian to his side and began to explain.

"The reason why the Breath Concealment Technique is our secret technique is mainly because it is a traditional cultivation method of our Fire Clan. Our cultivation method has been passed down from ancient times and has some differences from the currently popular cultivation methods."

"That means we not only cultivate spiritual power, but also absorb the vitality contained in the air. Only under the tempering of vitality can the Breath Concealment Technique be most effective."

"Of course, Young Master Fan, you don't need to worry. If you practice using the currently popular cultivation methods, it will still be of great use."

Seeing the unusual expression on Fan Tong's face, Huo Kong assumed that Fan Tong harbored resentment about this, and quickly began to explain.

"Lord Huokong, rest assured, I don't mind at all. I am already very honored that you would make an exception and teach me, an outsider!"

Fan Tong snapped out of his daze and smiled as he urged Huo Kong to continue his explanation.

Seeing this, Huo Kong knew that Fan Tongzhen didn't really care, so he officially got to the point and began to explain the precautions for cultivating the Breath Concealment Technique.

……

"These are the key points of cultivating the Concealing Breath Technique. As long as you, Young Master Fan, practice it yourself, you will naturally be able to grasp its true essence and reach the level of using it at will."

After Huo Kong finished teaching, he paused slightly and continued, "Legend has it that my ancestors, through the art of concealing their breath, could not only change their appearance, but also their voice and temperament, thus adapting to different environments and achieving the ability to go wherever they pleased, no matter how vast the world was!"

"Alas! I will never be able to reach that level in my lifetime. If Xian'er could, then there would be hope for the revival of my Fire Clan!"

Huo Kong patted Huo Xian's head, then turned to look at Fan Tong.

"Young Master Fan, the Concealing Breath Technique has been taught to you. As for Xian'er's affairs, I'll leave them to you from now on!"

"Lord Huokong, rest assured, now that I've accepted your benefits, I will naturally handle things well! After I take care of some matters, I will return to Fengqing Sect. For now, please excuse me for a moment."

Fan Tong nodded and answered seriously. After speaking, he looked at Ma Qiduo, who had fainted to the side.

"Well then, I wish Young Master Fan all the best. Let's go, Xian'er, let's go see how your Uncle Fu is doing!"

Huo Kong looked at Fan Tong with a hint of amusement, recalling the strange phenomena that occurred when dealing with Ma Qiduo. He had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't mention them at all.

"Brother Fan, remember to come find me when you're done with your work," Huo Xian said to Fan Tong without hesitation.

"Don't worry, I won't sneak away!" Fan Tong rubbed Huo Xian's head and answered with a smile.

Seeing Huo Kong and his son leave, Fan Tong looked at Ma Qiduo with some excitement.

“It’s time for you to show your remaining value!” Fan Tong reached out and touched Ma Qiduo.

As Ma Qiduo trembled, Fan Tong's body heaved, and as a warm current gushed from his lower abdomen, he let out a hearty laugh.

"Haha, I've finally broken through to the seventh level of the Human Spirit Realm! The ability of the Nameless Technique to temper the physical body is truly amazing!"

Fan Tong checked his Qi Sea again. At this time, the diameter of the spiritual energy vortex had reached seventy meters, and the rotation speed had also increased significantly. As it rotated, it continuously absorbed the spiritual energy in the meridians and purified it.

"That's really good. Although the amount of spiritual energy required for cultivation is relatively large, the purity of the spiritual energy has been improved so much. The foundation for cultivation has been laid really solidly."

"As for the spiritual power needed, with the Yama Ancient Sword, why should we be afraid of not being able to obtain it!"

Fan Tong glanced at the remaining dregs of Ma Qiduo on the ground, curled his lip in disdain, and then began to study the technique of concealing his breath.

"Although this Concealing Breath Technique is a secret technique of the Fire Clan, the existence of an unnamed cultivation method means I shouldn't have any problems practicing it. I'll give it a try first!"

Fan Tong recalled the key points of the Breath Concealment Technique explained by Huo Kong, and then tried to practice it.

Time flew by, and as evening approached, Fan Tong stood up contentedly and walked toward the main hall of the city lord's mansion.

After declining Huo Kong and Huo Xian's offer to stay, and informing them that they would wait for someone from Feng Qing Sect to pick up Huo Xian, Fan Tong left Tianhuo City.

This trip to Tianhuo City not only resolved the crisis in Tianhuo City and obtained the secret techniques of the Fire Clan, but more importantly, Fan Tong discovered the characteristics of the Yama Ancient Sword!

"It seems that I and the demons are natural enemies! Since we're already sworn enemies, I feel even more at ease!"

As Fan Tong hurried along, thinking about his parents' disappearance and considering his next steps, he suddenly stopped. "Wait a minute! How could I have forgotten about this?"
