Chapter 213

"Master."

In front of Wanyao Pavilion, Wei Yi greeted respectfully.

The old man who had entered Jiuyao City nodded faintly. This man was the third elder, leading the team from Yaogu after receiving Wei Yi's message. 

Behind the third elder followed a group of young Yaogu disciples. If all went well, they would one day become esteemed alchemists. The group entered Wanyao Pavilion, where the owner respectfully led them in and arranged their rooms. 

The owner felt his hands and feet trembling. So many Yaogu disciples, and an elder too! How was he supposed to cope with this pressure?

Terrified, he dared not speak out and kept his grievances to himself.

Everyone went to their rooms to rest, as the journey had been long and exhausting.

"Wei Yi, is the news you conveyed true?" In his room, the third elder looked at Wei Yi and asked.

Wei Yi nodded earnestly, "Of course, Master. I would not dare to lie. The news I conveyed is accurate."

The third elder sat down cross-legged. "Then explain to me in detail about Origin Mall."

"Yes, Master."

Wei Yi began to explain. After a while, the third elder's frown deepened, and his previously calm expression was gone. His finger tapping on the table indicated the storm of thoughts in his mind.

"A holographic game that can enhance strength? Instant noodles? Spicy strips? Coke? All unheard of!" the third elder whispered to himself.

Wei Yi smiled bitterly, "Master, to be honest, I didn't believe it at first either. But after experiencing it personally, I realized how amazing it all is."

The third elder meditated for a moment.

"Master, look at this," Wei Yi suddenly remembered something. He stretched out his palm, and an ice-blue flame appeared. It was the Deep Sea Ice Flame.

The third elder was puzzled, not understanding why Wei Yi showed his flames. But what happened next shocked him.

The ice-blue flame constantly changed like it was alive, with various lifelike creatures appearing one after another. This display alone showed Wei Yi's mastery over the Deep Sea Ice Flame.

The third elder knew about Wei Yi's Deep Sea Ice Flame. Wei Yi had expended a lot of energy to regain it. While the flame was powerful, it was also extremely difficult to control skillfully. The third elder clearly remembered that when Wei Yi left Medicine Valley, his control over the Deep Sea Ice Flame was just at the beginning stages. How long had it been, and now he handled it like an extension of his own body? This speed of progress was truly astonishing and hard to believe!

"How did you do it?" the third elder asked in surprise.

Wei Yi smiled, "Because I obtained the Fire Spirit Art from the casual mode."

"Casual mode? Fire Spirit Art?" the third elder mused.

Casual mode was one of the modes in the Tower of Trials that Wei Yi had mentioned. As for the Fire Spirit Art, it seemed to be a skill Wei Yi had acquired there.

"But it's a pity," Wei Yi shrugged, showing a regretful expression, "You can only use the skills and martial arts you get in the casual mode within the casual mode."
