Mei Tianling paced back and forth for a while, then looked at Qin Chu, "You wait here."
After saying that, Mei Tianling left.
A quarter of an hour later, Mei Tianling returned, holding a crystal ball in his hand, "Qin Chu, don't resist. I want to see if your unique flame can actively protect its master!"
After speaking, Mei Tianling raised the crystal ball, infused it with energy, and then the crystal ball emitted an energy halo, which swept towards Qin Chu's head.
As the energy halo approached Qin Chu's head, a circle of white flames appeared around his head, directly incinerating the halo.
"That's right! What the Vermilion Bird Sacred Flame devoured was indeed the Mo Ling Flame, but it only consumed the Mo Ling Fire within it. The remaining flame is the most special, and also the rarest Soul Fire among unique flames, the Mie Ling Flame!" Mei Tianling looked at Qin Chu excitedly.
"Senior Mei, what's the difference between Mo Ling Flame, Mo Ling Fire, and Mie Ling Flame?" Qin Chu was a little confused, or rather, Mei Tianling had him all mixed up.
Mei Tianling waved his hand, signaling Qin Chu to sit down, "I'll explain the situation to you. The Mo Ling Flame is actually a Fusion of two unique flames, the Mo Ling Fire and the Mie Ling Flame. To be precise, the Mie Ling Flame was born first, but it's very difficult for the Mie Ling Flame to be born alone; the Mo Ling Fire is born with it. The Fusion of the Mie Ling Flame and the Mo Ling Fire creates the Mo Ling Flame. When your Vermilion Bird Sacred Flame devoured it, it only consumed the outermost Mo Ling Fire, leaving behind the Mie Ling Flame that was enveloped by the Mo Ling Fire. At that time, you gave the Mo Ling Flame a glimmer of hope and released goodwill in your heart, so the Mie Ling Flame chose you and entered your Divine Sea!"
"Senior, how should I handle this now? What if it suddenly erupts and burns my head off?" Qin Chu was full of worry; this was an uncontrollable situation.
Mei Tianling smiled, "You don't need to worry! Why is the Mie Ling Flame special? Because it is a Soul Fire. When you use it to attack, it is the Mie Ling Flame, but when you don't use it to attack, it is the Yang Ling Flame. It will nourish your Soul. Qin Chu, you have obtained a great treasure."
"Senior Mei means that this Mie Ling Flame won't attack me, and will even nourish my Soul?" Qin Chu looked at Mei Tianling with some uncertainty.
"That's right. It stays in your Divine Sea without harming you, and even actively defends you. In fact, it has recognized you as its master. The Mie Ling Flame is a spiritual unique flame; the matter of devouring its master will not happen. Don't tell anyone else about this. Making a fortune in silence is the way of a king. You might not know what Soul power or the Divine Sea are now, but you will slowly understand." Mei Tianling said, looking at Qin Chu.
"Thank you, President Mei, for clarifying my doubts. Qin Chu has learned a lot." Qin Chu said.
"Your current level is still relatively low, so you haven't encountered some things yet, but you will gradually. Let's stop talking about the Mie Ling Flame here. Don't mention it to anyone. It will be a great trump card for you, and a help for your future rise." Mei Tianling reminded Qin Chu again.
"Qin Chu understands. I've consulted many ancient texts, but none compare to President Mei's explanation." Qin Chu bowed to Mei Tianling.
"Haha! I am happy to do such things. If you don't understand anything, just ask me. I am also very interested in some rare items." Mei Tianling said to Qin Chu.
With the issue resolved, Qin Chu bid farewell to Mei Tianling.
In the Alchemist Guild hall, Qin Chu saw Langlang chatting with Ji Xin.
"Qin Chu, you've abducted my friend." Ji Xin said, looking at Qin Chu.
"Haha! How could I abduct a man? If it were a woman, Qin Chu would admit to the crime." Qin Chu said with a laugh.
"You scoundrel, he doesn't even admit to abducting you!" Ji Xin glanced at Langlang.
Langlang just smiled, then left the Alchemist Guild with Qin Chu.
"Brother Lang, what's going on between you and President Ji? Could it be...?" Qin Chu touched his two thumbs together.
Langlang pinched the bridge of his nose, "How should I put it? We have a good relationship!"
Qin Chu noticed that Langlang had something on his mind, but Ji Xin was also very beautiful. She was a good match for Langlang, and being able to tolerate Langlang's 'scoundrelly' temperament was something not every woman could do.
Qin Chu and Langlang arrived at the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan's stronghold. After a short rest, Qin Chu went to pay his respects to Grand Elder Su of the Demon Castle.
Grand Elder Su was seen as the 'Demoness Su' by some, but she was very polite to Qin Chu. She told Qin Chu to visit the Demon Castle whenever he had time, as the Demon Castle welcomed him.
With everything settled, Qin Chu and Langlang spent two days playing in Sacred Martial City. There were only two Sacred Clans left in Sacred Martial City: the Azure Dragon Sacred Clan and the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan. The White Tiger Sacred Clan, Flame Thunder Sacred Clan, and Black Tortoise Sacred Clan were nowhere to be seen.
"Brother Lang, are you still coming with me?" After a drink at the restaurant, Qin Chu looked at Langlang.
"I'm going to stay in Sacred Martial City for a while, and I'll find you in Heavenly Sword City later." Langlang said to Qin Chu.
"Alright, then I'll wait for you in Heavenly Sword City." Qin Chu said to Langlang, knowing that Langlang had his own life and couldn't always be tied to him.
After staying in Sacred Martial City for a day, Qin Chu gave a storage belt to the person in charge of the stronghold to pass on to Langlang, then left in a beast carriage. He was heading back to Heavenly Sword City; Shang Shuyu was still waiting for him!
Qin Chu felt that after returning to Heavenly Sword City, he could settle down and focus on improving himself in peace.
The beast carriage was driven by a member of the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan, allowing Qin Chu to meditate peacefully inside the carriage.
That night, Qin Chu and his clansmen rested by a small grove of trees; the Yao Beast pulling the carriage also needed to eat and rest.
As a flock of birds took flight and crows cawed, Qin Chu felt that something was wrong. Just as Qin Chu was telling his clansmen to leave quickly, the situation arose: a figure flashed, and a woman in a purple silk dress stood on a tree branch.
Sixth-stage King Realm! Qin Chu saw her leap onto the tree.
With a wave of his arm, Qin Chu told his clansmen to leave first. He knew he was in danger; this was an ambush.
Qin Chu was the Young Lord of the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan. How could the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan members abandon him and flee alone? They drew their battle swords, ready to fight, though they could only prepare. The opponent was in the tree; he couldn't just chop down the tree.
"Who are you, and what is your purpose?" Qin Chu asked.
"Young Lord of the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan, right?" The woman wore a veil, but her voice was very clear.
"That's right, it's me!" Qin Chu admitted. Since the other party had come looking for him, they must have been watching him for a long time.
"Your father is of High Grade Bloodline, your mother is of King Grade Bloodline, so you naturally wouldn't be too bad. I need your Bloodline, I need an exceptionally talented descendant. Come with me, and I will give you a quick death!" The woman said, looking at Qin Chu.
"Go with you? I'm sorry, I won't surrender without a fight. If you want something, you'll have to do it yourself." Qin Chu drew his Azure Spirit Sword; the other party wanted to plunder his Bloodline.
