The transmigrated villain wants to escape Feng Aotian's hellish situation.

"Unless we see Qin Yangjun actually interacting with Murong Yunhai, we can't be sure of his true feelings towards Murong Yunhai, so it's right to be cautious."

Changsun Youyou did not respond, but instead glanced at Qin Yangjun's profile.

He sighed silently to himself.

This is the second time she has deceived Qin Yangjun; she didn't want it to happen.

However, the relationship between Yu Qianzong and the Murong family is genuinely ambiguous.

She had done some preliminary research on the relationship between the two parties.

The rise of the Murong family was a one-sided gift from the Yuqian Sect.

This seems to be related to the legendary Fairy Yaoyang.

Qin Yangjun is indeed a good person, but what about that Fairy Yaoyang?

How does Yaoyang view his situation now?

Will Qin Yangjun be swayed by his sister?

Before these matters are thoroughly investigated, she will stay far away from anyone, let alone Qin Yangjun, or any disciple of the Yuqian Sect.

A myriad of thoughts intertwined in Changsun Youyou's heart.

But that didn't stop me from chatting with Qin Yangjun along the way.

Just like before, she and Qin Yangjun got along very well.

The two of them always managed to find something to talk about along the way.

The two chatted as they walked.

They encountered several flying monsters along the way, but Qin Yangjun easily dealt with them all.

After flying for an hour, the two began their ascent into the mountains, passing two monster habitats and navigating two maze formations.

Changsun Youyou sensed that something was wrong.

Qin Yangjun's route is exactly the same as the one recorded on her map.

"Master...this..."

“I know what you’re thinking. Don’t forget this is Wuxian Mountain. Even people from the Yuqian Sect come here to hunt monsters and search for medicinal herbs.”

"This location was probably discovered by chance by a disciple of the Yuqian Sect who came here. It's unlikely that there were any alchemists among that group, so it's not surprising that they reported their whereabouts..."

"Oh...I see."

"Now that Qin Yangjun is helping you, you should be able to obtain that innate spiritual fire smoothly. Tsk tsk, I must say, it's really great to have a powerful person by your side; everything goes so smoothly. Oh, and don't forget what I told you before..."

"But... Master, why do we need to know why he came here... It has nothing to do with us."

“It’s related. If Qin Yangjun’s purpose in coming here is the same as what I expect, then you need to go back and make preparations as soon as possible. If I’m not mistaken, a ‘storm’ that will sweep across the entire Dayu Continent is coming. With me here, I can protect you even if the sky falls. But your family is different. Your family’s geographical location is very dangerous.”

Hearing this, Changsun Youyou's heart tightened, and she bit her lip lightly.

Then she suddenly spoke to Qin Yangjun:

"Fellow Daoist Qin has been so at ease along the way, you must have made ample preparations beforehand. Could it be that your main purpose in coming to this Boundless Mountain is for this spiritual fire?"

"No."

Qin Yangjun responded without hesitation.

“I have a more important purpose for coming here; obtaining this spirit fire is just a side matter.”

Qin Yangjun felt there was no need to hide it from her, but he wouldn't explain it directly either.

In any case, after obtaining the spirit fire, the two should go their separate ways.

"Oh...is there something else important?"

Changsun Youyou continued to press for answers.

This also stunned Qin Yangjun.

Why should she care about the purpose of her visit?

He then looked at the girl beside him.

"Why do you ask?"

Changsun Youyou had already thought of the answer.

"Fellow Daoist Qin saved me before, and now he has given me an opportunity. As for me, I have not done anything. So I just want to see if I can help Fellow Daoist Qin."

I want to help...

That's a perfectly reasonable reason.

"Hehe, that won't be necessary. It's too dangerous, and you can't help. You'd better leave here once you find the innate spiritual fire."

Next, I need to awaken the Ghost Bell, which will cause some disturbance even after setting up the formation.

The noise was negligible, but Qin Yangjun's desire for her to leave wasn't due to the noise itself.

The formation he prepared could not suppress the power of the Ghost God Bell.

Once the spirit within the Ghost Bell awakens, everything within the formation will be corrupted by ghostly energy.

Qin Yangjun couldn't deal with that thing.

After you remove the magic array, the ghostly energy will spread out.

This will surely startle the monsters in these endless mountains.

The frightened monsters fled en masse, which will likely cause a sizable beast tide.

The beast tide of this endless mountain is not something an ordinary person can withstand.

This girl's strength is only at the Golden Core stage; if she gets caught in the crossfire, she'll probably be done for.

If you die right after obtaining the spirit fire, that would be incredibly unlucky.

Chapter Eighteen: An Abnormal Plot

Qin Yangjun still did not give a direct answer as to the purpose of his visit...

Changsun Youyou knew she couldn't press the matter any further; if she did, Lord Qinyang would likely become suspicious.

Since he told me to leave, it means something is going to happen in this endless mountain.

But what is it?

"Master..."

"I'm still not sure. After you get the spirit fire, pretend to leave... My divine sense can help you conceal yourself. This concerns the life and death of your family, so you must take it seriously."

"I understand."

At this moment, Qin Yangjun had no idea what the person beside him was plotting.

Right now, all he wants to do is help 'Zhang Xiaoling' obtain the spirit fire as soon as possible, and then go to awaken the Ghost God Bell.

The two walked forward for about half an hour and finally arrived at a cave.

This cave is the location of the innate spiritual fire mentioned in the book.

Qin Yangjun led Changsun Youyou into the cave, where they discovered a purple flame deep inside.

The flames floated in mid-air, burning without roots, their shapes constantly changing like ghosts, sometimes resembling skulls, sometimes like vengeful spirits.

Fire is inherently extremely yang, but the temperature around this flame is very low, and frost has condensed around the stone walls.

The demons and monsters departed from the divine fire.

This is the name of this innate spiritual fire.

In this world, spiritual fire is divided into innate and acquired. There is only one innate fire, and once it is taken away, there will be no second one. It will only be reborn when its owner dies.

They have a lot of prestige in the lower realm, but once they go to the upper realm, they're nothing special.

That's why Qin Yangjun wasn't interested in this thing.

Not to mention that he was also imbued with the blazing flames of the Golden Crow, so he looked down on this thing even more.

Meanwhile, Changsun Youyou was directly attracted by the flames in front of her.

At that moment, the voice of the spirit immortal rang in her ears.

"The Demonic Flame of Separation primarily attacks the soul and possesses countless transformations. With your Divine Control Heart Sutra, combined with this spiritual flame, you might be able to forge your first spiritual flame avatar. However, this is an innate spiritual flame, unlike acquired ones; its power is exceptionally domineering. You must be extremely careful when subduing it. Previously, I told you..."

"Take this pill."

At this moment, Qin Yangjun suddenly handed a box to the person next to him, and a purple pill was clearly visible, with faint dragon scales appearing on the pill.

"Azure Dragon Pattern Pill..."

Changsun Youyou couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. This pill was a sixth-grade pill, and it was a pill specifically used to subdue spiritual fire.

"Young master, this..."

For a moment, Changsun Youyou dared not reach out, for she had already received too much kindness from Qin Yangjun.

Qin Yangjun, however, explained with an indifferent expression:

"These pills were prepared for this time. Since you've taken them over, you can take them."

Qin Yangjun was not an alchemist and knew nothing about spiritual fire.

But he knew that this recapture was dangerous, and that he could be devoured by the spiritual fire if he was not careful.

Therefore, this elixir was a safety net he had prepared.

The incident happened suddenly. This young girl is just a rogue cultivator and probably wasn't prepared. If she wants to subdue her, she'll probably have to risk her life. Since I said I'd give her an opportunity, I might as well go all the way.

“Sigh, the things he’s done for you are beyond owing a favor. I’m completely convinced this time. He’s a truly good person. I probably don’t need to bring out all the things I prepared before.”

Changsun Youyou did not respond to her master, but instead accepted the pill from Qin Yangjun's hand.

"Young master, such a great kindness is beyond my ability to repay..."

Changsun Youyou was excited, but Qin Yangjun slightly raised his hand to interrupt her.

"I told you before, I'm giving you a chance. Since it's a gift, I don't need anything in return from you."
