Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 338 Strange Fire News
"Xuan Luo Yin Fire, forgive my ignorance, I have never heard of this kind of fire. Fellow Daoist Han, could you tell me in detail about the characteristics of this fire?" Song Xian was delighted.

Xuanluo Yin Fire, just hearing the name it feels like it is not an ordinary flame, it should also be a kind of strange fire.

Although he had cultivated the Xuantian Ronghuo Jue and was able to absorb strange fire, he did not know much about the various types of strange fire in the world. There were no such books in the sect, and there were no books specifically collecting strange fire for sale on the market. Therefore, he had no channels to learn about these things.

"Xuan Luo Yin Fire is a cold fire between heaven and earth. It is black in appearance and shaped like a lotus. Legend has it that it was refined by Shura and can corrode all forces. It is even more effective against spiritual beings. Any spiritual being touched by this fire will lose its spirituality."

"Really? Fellow Daoist, have you ever seen this Xuanluo Yin Fire?" Song Xian had already concluded in his heart that this must be a strange fire.

"I didn't see it myself, I heard it from others. Do you think you can deal with this Xuanluo Yin Fire?"

"I can give it a try, but I don't know where this Xuanluo Yin Fire is. Why did Fellow Daoist Han ask me to deal with it?" Song Xian was worried that he had no clues about the strange fire. Han Yuan took the initiative to give him the message, so naturally he had no choice but to accept it. Since he got the strange fire, he could also make Han Yuan owe him a favor, which was killing two birds with one stone.

"This Xuanluo Yin Fire is in a person. I want to deal with this person, but I am afraid of his Xuanluo Yin Fire, so I came to ask for help from Fellow Daoist Song."

"On a human?"

Song Xian's mind raced. Could there be someone else in the world who had mastered the Xuantian Ronghuo Jue? This was certainly not impossible. If he could obtain this secret technique by chance, it would not be surprising if others could obtain it as well.

The secret manual of martial arts can be printed in as many copies as you want. The key is whether the person who masters the secret manual is willing to spread it.

"Who is this person? Does Fellow Daoist Han have a grudge against him?"

"I'm sorry, I have nothing to tell you unless Fellow Daoist Song agrees to lend me a helping hand. Then I can tell you the identity of this person." Han Yuan flipped his hand and took out three boxes of different sizes and colors from the storage bag.

"Dealing with this person is quite risky, and I won't ask you to help me for nothing. If you are willing to help, these three items will be your reward." After he said that, he opened the three boxes and introduced them one by one.

"This is the foundation-building pill."

"This is gold essence, weighing ten pounds."

"This is a bottle of eye-clearing liquid."

Song Xian looked at the three items, and there was no need to say much about the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Gold essence is the essence of gold. It is an important material for refining magic weapons and can increase the power of magic weapons.

The Eye-Clearing Elixir allows the user to see through illusions and mirages.

These three items are all very valuable, but Song Xian is not tempted at all. Although the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Golden Essence are not cheap, they can be bought on the market. The Eye-Clearing Liquid is even more useless to him. His innate magical power, the Eye of True Observation, is much more useful than this thing.

"Although these three items are not ordinary, they are not what I need."

Han Yuan didn't say anything and just put the three wooden boxes away. He knew that with Song Xian's status and the financial resources of Hunyuan Sect, they didn't care much about Foundation Establishment Pills and Golden Essence. Only the Eye-Clearing Spirit Liquid was relatively rare, but that thing was not a hot commodity, so it was still unclear whether he would have the chance to use it.

He took out these three items just to show his sincerity. If the negotiation could be successful, that would be even better. If not, he could think of another way.

"I wonder what you need?"

"Friend Han, let's be friends!"

After hearing this, Han Yuan became alert. He would not be surprised if Song Xian proposed any conditions, no matter how outrageous they were. After all, he was the one who needed help. But he was surprised to see him suddenly talk about relationships.

In fact, the two of them did not have a very deep friendship. They had only worked together twice. In his life, he had worked with too many monks and had seen and heard many people who called themselves brothers turn against each other. Therefore, he did not believe in friendship at all.

"Friendship is friendship, and business is business. They should not be confused. Fellow Daoist, please put forward your conditions. I will do my best to fulfill them if I can. If it is truly impossible, I will find another way to deal with this matter."

"We are friends, and it's only natural for us to help each other. I'll help you deal with that person, and if he uses the Xuanluo Yin Fire, I'll take action to deal with him. If you insist on adding a reward, the next time I need your help, you should help me unconditionally. Of course, it must be within your ability."

Song Xian put forward his own conditions. He originally wanted to rely on absorbing the strange fire to enhance his strength. Even if it meant paying money, he was willing to do it as long as he could get news about the strange fire. Moreover, Han Yuan took the initiative to provide clues. For him, this was a profitable business in itself.

The Foundation Establishment Pill, Golden Essence, and Eye-Clearing Spiritual Liquid were all useless items to him and were of no importance to him, but Han Yuan's help had infinite possibilities. It was like he had signed a contract and could fill in the content at will in the future.

Although it is unknown what kind of adventure Han Yuan had that led to such rapid progress in his cultivation, it shows his potential, and it is not impossible for him to break through to the Golden Core stage in the future.

The higher the level of cultivation and the stronger the strength, the more valuable this condition is.

Even if he stops at the Foundation Establishment Stage in his entire life, with his current strength, it would not be a loss to use those three items in exchange for a chance for him to help, unless he suddenly dies one day.

"Okay, I agree. If Fellow Daoist Song encounters trouble and needs help in the future, I will help as long as it is within my ability." Han Yuan nodded in agreement without much hesitation.

For him, this condition was not a disadvantage and it could solve his immediate problem.

"Friend Han, can you tell me this person's identity now?"

"This person's name is He Luola, a casual cultivator from the Muhe Grassland, with a cultivation level of the sixth level of Foundation Establishment."

Hearing that it was a casual cultivator, Song Xian felt more relieved. If he was a disciple of a large sect and his involvement was discovered, it might bring a catastrophe to the entire sect. If it was a casual cultivator, the threat and hidden danger would be much smaller.

"Does Fellow Daoist Han have a grudge against this person?"

"To be honest, I was also entrusted with this task. A friend of mine was attacked by someone and was seriously injured. He has not much time left, so he entrusted me to avenge him before he dies."

"Oh! Is that so?" Song Xian nodded calmly, of course he didn't believe what he said.

He had worked with Han Yuan twice and had some understanding of this man's style of doing things. Previously, there were rumors in Bianxi City that this man specialized in attacking his companions from behind, but this was probably a false rumor.

Judging from the fact that he gave him half of the second-grade inferior soul-replenishing elixir he refined, this person is quite honest. He didn't even keep such a rare thing as the second-grade inferior soul-replenishing elixir. It is unlikely that he would plot against his companions for other things.

However, this person is definitely not someone who values ​​friendship and loyalty, and is not the kind of person who would go through fire and water for his friends. Previously, when they were at the Snake Island ruins, they encountered the Golden Crow's flame attack. This guy ran away in a flash, running faster than a fucking rabbit, without caring about the other three people at all.

You know, among these three people, two of them were found by him, and among them, An Daoming seemed to have a close relationship with him. However, when something happened, this guy ran away without even saying goodbye.

How could such a person go after a sixth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator with whom he had no grudge against him just to avenge his friend?

There must be some unknown secret in this, but this is Han Yuan's privacy and has nothing to do with him. The reason why he agreed to the conditions was entirely for the Xuan Luo Yin Fire, so he didn't ask too many questions.

"Then how did you know that he had Xuanluo Yin Fire?"

"My friend told me that he was ambushed by the Xuanluo Yin Fire. He Lola took advantage of his unpreparedness and suddenly unleashed the Xuanluo Yin Fire. He was caught off guard and was seriously injured." "Besides what I just said, does Fellow Daoist Han know anything else about the Xuanluo Yin Fire?"

"I wonder what Fellow Daoist Song is referring to?"

"How did this person obtain the Xuanluo Yin Fire? Where did he obtain it?"

"I don't know that."

"Besides me, did Fellow Daoist Han find anyone else to help?"

"No, since Fellow Daoist Song is willing to help, I don't think I need anyone else. I'm mainly afraid of the Xuanluo Yin Fire. According to that friend, this fire is very powerful, and I'm not sure I can deal with it. That's why I thought of coming to Fellow Daoist Song."

"Does Fellow Daoist Han know the whereabouts of this person?"

"This person is a guest elder in a faction called Luoyuan Sect. He usually stays here to practice. Although the Luoyuan Sect is not a big force, it is impossible for the two of us to attack it by force. We need to lure him out."

"Do you have any plan, fellow Daoist?"

"After my friend escaped after being seriously injured by him, I heard he's been trying to track him down, hoping to eliminate him completely. We can use this as bait to lure him out."

…………

The sun is shining and the sky is clear.

In the eastern part of the Muhe grassland, in the desolate mountain forest, two beams of light shot down, revealing the figures of Han Yuan and Song Xian.

"Friend Han, are you sure you can lure that Horola here?" Song Xian looked around and saw weeds all around.

"It's hard to say, I can only take a gamble. Once I spread the word, if Horola is determined to kill them all, he should come in person."

"What if he doesn't fall for it?"

"Then we'll have to find another way."

"Since this person is a guest elder of the Luoyuan Sect, can we find a way to get a Luoyuan Sect cultivator to act as our internal support? This way, we can understand his actions and not be so passive."

"No, I've never had any contact with the Luoyuan Sect, and ordinary Luoyuan Sect disciples can't come into contact with Horola, and it would be easy to alert him. If the news leaks out and Horola knows our plan, it will be even worse. We might become his prey."

Song Xian sighed in his heart. Although independent cultivators are free, they have to do everything by themselves. In this respect, they are far inferior to those with sectarian backgrounds.

If Han Yuan could have a reliable insider in Luoyuan Sect, it would be much easier to deal with Horola.

When Hunyuan Sect annexed Tianshan and eliminated the Kong family, its internal spies played a huge role.

If it weren't for the Beast Taming Sect's spies working together from inside and outside, Kong Zhenqing would not have been fooled into leading the four Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Kong family to leave the Kong family's mountain gate. If the Kong family had one or two Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed in Luojia Mountain, they might not have been able to capture it.

"Even if He Luola gets the news, will he worry that this is a trap and seek help? How many foundation-building cultivators does the Luoyuan Sect have?"

"The Luoyuan Sect only has one cultivator at the third level of Foundation Establishment, and that's the Sect Master. Even if Harula asks him to come along out of caution, we can handle him with just the two of us. But I don't think Harula will seek help from anyone else."

"Why?"

"First, this place is thousands of miles away from the Luoyuan Sect. He Luola is only a guest elder of the Luoyuan Sect. The Luoyuan Sect Master wouldn't travel all the way here for his personal affairs. Secondly, and most importantly, He Luola doesn't want anyone to know about this. The reason he wants to kill my friend is because he's worried that he might reveal a secret about him. If he brings someone along, he'll definitely be worried that my friend might reveal the secret to others."

"I see."

"Fellow Daoist Song, please wait here. I'll go to the information exchange in this city and spread the news. According to my estimate, the news will reach Horola within a month at most. Then we'll see if he takes the bait."

…………

At night, the moon was as round as a moon. From a desolate hill, a beam of light shot down, revealing Han Yuan. He looked around and then strode into a cave not far away.

In the inner room, a thin man with slightly gray hair was lying on a stone bed. One of his broken arms was covered with a white plaster, half of his face was covered with gauze, and his complexion was as white as thin paper.

"You're here. How are your preparations?" The man noticed Han Yuan coming and turned to look at him. His eyes were like those of a wolf, emitting hatred and bloodthirstiness. After he finished speaking, he suddenly coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"I've found a helper who can deal with the Xuan Luo Yin Fire. The problem now is how to lure him out. I've spread the word that you're here, but I'm not sure if I can lure him out."

"Cough, cough..." The man coughed violently for a while. "He's a cautious person. Just the news isn't enough. I have to go out and look around. Let people see me nearby with their own eyes. Only then will he show up."

"I hope you can still hold on!"

"Don't worry, I won't die. Once you avenge me and Yunmei, I'll give you what you want. Is the person you're looking for reliable? You only have one chance."

"As long as I can lure him here, I'll solve it."

.........

It was a sunny day. In the eastern part of Muhe Grassland, in the market of Yuangai City, people were coming and going. A thin man with a sick face and a broken arm walked into a towering attic.

"What do you need, senior?" A woman came forward and saluted.

"I want to see you carry out your duties." The man's voice was hoarse and he coughed a few times while speaking.

"Yes, please wait a moment, senior. I'll go and report." The woman took him to the backyard room and sat him down. Not long after, a man with a pointed chin and monkey-like features walked in and looked him up and down. "May I know your name, senior, and what brings you here?"

"My name is insignificant. I came here simply to seek the Hundred-Year-Old Xuanyang Grass. I heard your pavilion sold one before. Do you still have it?"

"I'm truly sorry, but we only have one plant, and it's already been sold. If you need it, I can keep an eye out and ask the independent cultivators who are collaborating with us to sell herbs."

"Thank you for your trouble. Price is not a problem. This is the deposit." The thin man waved his hands and took out a cloth bag.

"Senior, don't worry, junior will definitely do his best."

"I'll come back in a month." The thin man said and walked straight out of the attic.
