Wu Yong knelt on the ground, looking resigned.
Seeing this, Qin Xuan lost the desire to continue acting against him. Shaking his head slightly, Qin Xuan killed him with a single sword strike.
“What a good-for-nothing. He usually acts so high and mighty, appearing to be a formidable character, but now it seems he's just a spineless coward!”
Shaking his head, Qin Xuan messed up the room to create traces of a struggle, then deliberately made a commotion.
A moment later, the startled guards rushed over.
Next, Qin Xuan's mask accidentally fell off during the fight, and he fled in disarray amidst everyone's astonishment.
After leaving Dan Peak, Qin Xuan put away the Thousand Transformations Spirit in a secluded spot, restoring his original appearance.
He then found a Spirit Beast, tied the jade pendant to the back of a Level 3 flying Spirit Beast, and had the Spirit Beast carry the jade pendant away from the Azure Green Sect.
“This should do it. Now, let's see them cause trouble among themselves!”
Returning to Lei Yun Peak, Dan Peak was already bustling with activity.
Qin Xuan stood at the peak's summit, smiling and nodding.
Suddenly, Qin Xuan quickly wiped the smile from his face, a hint of solemnity appearing.
Just now, he had clearly sensed someone observing from mid-air.
Ordinary Disciples naturally couldn't detect such a gaze, but Qin Xuan's Mental Energy was strong enough, so he immediately noticed it.
It seemed this was likely the person the Sect sent to secretly protect him.
As a personal Disciple and a Five-Rank Alchemist, the Sect's protection for him had increased by a Rank compared to before.
Therefore, Qin Xuan had to appear solemn at this moment to distance himself from this incident.
Perhaps seeing that no major incident had occurred on Qin Xuan's side, the gaze quickly moved away. After a while, the strong expert hiding in mid-air finally left.
“It seems I'll have to be more careful when doing things in the Sect from now on.”
However, since Liu Yiyi and Gu Cheng, those two scourges, had been eliminated, it saved a lot of trouble.
After pondering, Qin Xuan returned to his Immortal Cave.
The real focus was next.
Refining a portion of the Profound Dragon Spirit Fire's body.
Returning to the Immortal Cave, and after adding several more defensive and anti-peeping Formations around, Qin Xuan finally began refining the Profound Dragon Spirit Fire.
“Buzz!”
The Refining God Cauldron vibrated slightly. Qin Xuan took a deep breath, then entered the Taihuang Space.
Within the Taihuang Space, a mass of Black Spiritual Fire was continuously burning.
If it weren't for the surrounding Taihuang Aura isolating it, Qin Xuan might not have been able to approach easily.
“Can this thing really be refined?!”
Looking at the Black Spiritual Fire, Qin Xuan's scalp tingled.
He truly couldn't figure out how to refine this thing.
Taking a deep breath, the flame of the fire seed surged from Qin Xuan's palm.
The fire seed now resembled a small sapling.
At this moment, the flame was constantly flickering.
Qin Xuan could sense a certain emotion from this flame.
This emotion was both longing and fear.
Clearly, the Black Spiritual Fire was too powerful; even a tiny fragment was more than the current fire seed could withstand.
It seemed refining this Spirit Fire might be much more troublesome than he had thought.
Without hesitating too long, Qin Xuan controlled the surrounding Taihuang Aura to cut a portion of the Spirit Fire from the main body.
The Black Spiritual Fire churned ceaselessly, but it was powerless against the Taihuang Aura.
Seeing this, Qin Xuan clicked his tongue repeatedly.
This Taihuang Aura was simply too strong; even the Black Spiritual Fire had no way to resist it.
In the Ancient Era, the entire world was filled with this Taihuang Aura.
Just how powerful were the existences of the Great Wilderness Era!
After controlling the Taihuang Aura to cut off a portion from the Spirit Fire, Qin Xuan used the fire seed to approach the Black Spiritual Fire, attempting to refine it.
“Boom!”
The moment the fire seed touched the Black Spiritual Fire, the Black Spiritual Fire instantly expanded several times, directly engulfing the fire seed.
“It actually wants to devour the fire seed in return!”
Qin Xuan was greatly alarmed and instantly poured all his flames into the fire seed, barely managing to block the Spirit Fire's attack.
“Even just this tiny bit of Spirit Fire is so formidable!”
Qin Xuan gasped, quickly retracting the fire seed.
“No, I have to use the Taihuang Aura to divide it again!”
Qin Xuan pondered, then mobilized more Taihuang Aura to begin dividing the Spirit Fire.
Before long, the Spirit Fire, which was originally the size of a human head, had been divided into hundreds of thumb-sized flames.
“And there's still such a large Profound Dragon Spirit Fire.”
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan felt a wave of speechlessness.
However, he quickly regained his confidence.
“As one diminishes, the other grows. The more Black Spiritual Fire the fire seed absorbs, the stronger it becomes, and the faster it can transform and absorb the Spirit Fire.”
“This way, it shouldn't take long to completely devour all of this Spirit Fire.”
Qin Xuan pondered, then controlled the fire seed to try to devour one of the Black Spiritual Fire fragments.
This fragment of Spirit Fire was tiny, but even with its small size, the fire seed expended a great deal of effort to envelop the Black Spiritual Fire fragment. Next came the time for refining.
“Boom!”
The fire seed's golden and red colors simultaneously lit up, beginning to frantically devour the Black Spiritual Fire.
The Black Spiritual Fire, in turn, continuously flickered, desperately trying to break free from the fire seed.
“Refine for me!”
The fire seed split into streams of flames, instantly engulfing the entire Black Spiritual Fire.
The fire seed and the Black Spiritual Fire began to tear at each other frantically.
After a while, as Qin Xuan continuously supplied Spiritual Qi, the Black Spiritual Fire finally succumbed, being devoured bit by bit by the fire seed.
“Whew!”
Seeing one flame devoured, Qin Xuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, after being divided to this extent, a portion of the Black Spiritual Fire was finally refined.
However, when he saw the hundreds of other Black Spiritual Flames beside it, Qin Xuan couldn't help but smile wryly. This Spirit Fire was truly difficult to deal with.
But everything is difficult at the beginning. If this small part could be refined, it meant other parts could also be refined.
Two days later, Qin Xuan left Lei Yun Peak and headed to Dan Peak.
During these two days, utilizing the time flow differences in the Taihuang Space, Qin Xuan spent nearly two hundred days finally refining all of the Black Spiritual Fire.
He slightly extended his hand, and the fire seed surged from Qin Xuan's palm.
The fire seed was previously golden and red, but now it appeared to have turned black.
However, unlike the Profound Dragon formed by the Black Spiritual Fire, the fire seed in Qin Xuan's Dantian now resembled a tree.
After devouring the Black Spiritual Fire, the fire seed had turned black.
Its scorching power was also much greater than before.
However, this small amount of Black Spiritual Fire was likely far from being a match for that enormous Black Spiritual Fire.
“Just absorbing a small portion of the Profound Dragon Spirit Fire has transformed the fire seed like this. If I could absorb the complete Profound Dragon Spirit Fire, the fire seed would surely undergo a qualitative change.”
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan continued on his way to Dan Peak, wanting to collect a bit more Black Spiritual Fire into the Refining God Cauldron.
However, Dan Peak was already under strict guard at this time.
