Chapter 120: Shen Nong and the Life Spirit Flame
Gu Xun'er secretly praised herself as a genius since she could come up with such a brilliant idea.
But as he is the Clan Leader of the Soul Clan, it would probably be difficult for her to meet Hun Tiandi.
Gu Xun'er looked at Hun Tiandi and suddenly had another great idea. She quickly approached him and said, "Hun Xiu, I'm willing to become a member of the Soul Clan. Take me to meet the Soul Clan's Clan Leader, Hun Tiandi!"
Hun Tiandi glanced at Gu Xun'er, instantly seeing through her thoughts. He said, "You think you're qualified to meet the Clan Leader? You're nothing but a mere ant at the Dou Wang level."
Upon hearing Hun Tiandi's words, Gu Xun'er couldn't help but feel extremely frustrated. She silently vowed that she would seek revenge when she had the chance, not for anyone else but for herself.
Being underestimated like this was simply too much.
Despite her displeasure, Gu Xun'er maintained a smiling expression and tried to please Hun Tiandi. She said, "I may not be qualified to meet the Clan Leader, but you are!"
"You can take me to meet the Clan Leader!"
Hun Tiandi responded, "Take you to meet the Clan Leader? On what basis? I know exactly what you're thinking! You have no chance of meeting the Clan Leader."
"The Clan Leader is elusive, even many elders in the clan haven't had the opportunity to meet the Clan Leader, let alone you."
"Put away your scheming thoughts and focus on your cultivation! That's more important than anything else!" After saying this, Hun Tiandi left, leaving Gu Xun'er alone, stomping her feet in anger and frustration.
"Damn Hun Xiu, just you wait! If I ever get the chance, I'll make you regret this!"
Hun Tiandi's figure appeared in the void above the Hao Tian Palace, undetectable by anyone.
He looked at Gu Xun'er, who was stomping her feet in frustration, and murmured, "Gu Yuan's daughter is quite interesting! I wonder what kind of expression she'll have when she finds out that I am Hun Tiandi?"
"The anticipation within me is growing."
...
One month later.
"Clan Leader, the poison within the Soul Clan that even Dou Shengs fear has been refined into poison pills and delivered to the Lady. Moreover, the Soul Hall has sent very few poisons recently. After all, poisons that can threaten Dou Sheng-level individuals are scarce on the Dou Qi continent."
"The poisons that I'm aware of have all been refined into pills. The effectiveness of taking the same poison or poison pill for the second time is significantly reduced." Hun Xu Zi respectfully reported to Hun Tiandi about the situation.
In this past month, they have refined all the poison pills they could make, and the remaining poisons sent by the Soul Hall have also been completely refined.
Now, the refining room no longer has any poisons left to refine.
"Mm!"
Hun Tiandi nodded and said, "I understand. You may go. You've worked hard in the refining room recently."
Upon hearing these words from Hun Tiandi, Hun Xu Zi was slightly stunned. He couldn't believe that these words were spoken by the Clan Leader, Hun Tiandi himself.
Hun Xu Zi quickly regained his senses and respectfully said, "Everything is what I should do."
"I will take my leave!"
With that, Hun Xu Zi left the main hall. After leaving, he turned around and looked in the direction of the hall, muttering to himself, "It seems that the Clan Leader has changed significantly after falling into Madam's gentle embrace."
After saying that, he turned and left. He needed to return to the refining room and inform the alchemists there of this news.
After all, they had been through a lot of hardship in this past month. It wasn't easy to refine poison pills of the eighth and ninth grade levels.
Sigh!
"I have never been so exhausted before, even as a Dou Sheng-level powerhouse, I couldn't bear it!"
...
Hun Tiandi appeared at Xiao Yi Xian's residence. The entire courtyard was shrouded in an array, within which a poisonous mist pervaded, devoid of any signs of life.
Inside one of the rooms in the courtyard, vegetation had been completely corroded by the poison. Xiao Yi Xian sat cross-legged at the source of the poison, forming seals with her hands. Terrifying toxic gas filled the air with every breath she took.
Hun Tiandi looked at the poisonous mist enveloped by the array and couldn't help but sigh, "The Woeful Poison Body truly lives up to its reputation. Xiao Yi Xian's poison has become much stronger."
"I wonder how many stars of a Dou Sheng she will reach when she emerges? It's truly something to look forward to!"
He turned around.
The space slightly distorted, and Hun Tiandi left.
Since Xiao Yi Xian worked so hard, he naturally had to work hard as well.
A few days later, after receiving a piece of news, Hun Tiandi left the Soul Clan.
In the sky above an unknown mountain range in the Central Province, Hun Tiandi intercepted an old man with a hunched back.
The old man leaned on a cane, had long white hair, wrinkled face, and a long beard. He wore a black robe and exuded an air of an immortal.
The old man stroked his white beard and looked at Hun Tiandi who blocked his path, asking, "Friend, why do you stop me on my way?"
The old man did not recognize Hun Tiandi, after all, only the ancient races and a few old fellows from superpowers knew the name of Hun Tiandi on the continent.
People who knew the name of Hun Tiandi were rare, let alone those who had seen him.
The old man had heard of the name of Hun Tiandi but had never seen him, so he did not know that the person blocking his path was Hun Tiandi.
If he knew the person in front of him was Hun Tiandi, the old man would not be so relaxed but instead find a way to escape.
Hun Tiandi did not answer the old man's question but spoke directly, "Shen Nong, hand over the Life Spirit Flame."
The old man who was intercepted by Hun Tiandi was Shen Nong, a reclusive alchemy grandmaster on the Dou Qi continent.
Shen Nong had always been elusive, and Hun Tiandi had instructed the members of the Soul Hall to pay close attention to his whereabouts and inform him immediately if there was any information about Shen Nong.
Shen Nong's mastery of alchemy was exquisite, not inferior to the Soul Clan's Hun Xu Zi. However, the reason Hun Tiandi sought out Shen Nong was not because of his alchemy skills.
The Soul Clan had Hun Xu Zi as an alchemist, and having one more Shen Nong would be just icing on the cake in the eyes of Hun Tiandi.
Moreover, Shen Nong was quite proud and arrogant.
It was impossible to make him join the Soul Clan. If it were possible, Shen Nong would have long had a place in the Soul Clan.
Unfortunately...
Shen Nong remained a stubborn old relic.
The reason Hun Tiandi sought out Hun Xu Zi was not to make Shen Nong join the Soul Clan. Instead, Hun Tiandi had set his sights on something Shen Nong possessed.
Shen Nong had the Life Spirit Flame, ranked fifth on the list of Heavenly Flames. That was the first thing Hun Tiandi wanted, the Heavenly Flame.
Shen Nong was already old and could no longer control it
The Life Spirit Flame needed a new owner, and Hun Tiandi was a suitable candidate.
