How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"Didn't you say that the world is so beautiful, and we should be calm and appreciate the beautiful scenery?"

Hongling teased, "How did you end up like this?"

"It's precisely because the world is so beautiful that I don't want to leave this world too soon!"

Hongli couldn't help but retort, "If you fall, you really will die!"

Not long after... although it felt like a lifetime to Hong Li, it was indeed not long before the two of them and the crane encountered an invisible barrier.

The disciple token at Hongling's waist flickered slightly, and a mysterious fluctuation gently enveloped them, like bubbles merging into the ocean, slowly squeezing in.

"Wow……"

Hongli opened her eyes wide, looking at the surroundings that seemed to have changed into another world, her beautiful eyes reflecting the scorching sea of ​​fire!

Chapter 41 My passion is like a blazing fire~

Fire, endless fire.

The mountains are scattered like stars, and between the mountains, on the mountaintops and on the mountainside, there is endless raging fire, which has been burning for countless years, dyeing the clouds red.

Liquid, solid, gas—countless flames defy conventional wisdom, existing in all sorts of incredible states.

Even so, this world, engulfed by flames, was still teeming with life. Firecrackers darted through the fiery clouds, and from time to time, the figures of cultivators in robes could be seen flashing by.

At a glance, the orange-yellow grass and trees, and the crimson beasts, frolicking or chasing and hunting, seemed completely unaffected by the flames, just as the air and humans were only filled with fire with their breath.

"This... I must be dreaming."

Hongli stared wide-eyed, like a country bumpkin visiting the Grand View Garden, curiously looking around. Her little face was flushed red from the flames, but she didn't seem to be thirsty or sweaty.

She could feel the innate fire within her body throbbing with joy and excitement, like returning to her hometown, a warmth that made her want to sleep...

"Hey, Xiao Li?"

Hongling nudged Hongli, who suddenly woke up and looked at her aunt with a blank expression: "Huh?"

"Huh? What?"

Hongling sighed and rubbed her forehead: "How did you fall asleep again?"

"Spring drowsiness, autumn fatigue, summer naps..."

Hong Li casually remarked, "Even in cultivation, sleep is an essential part of daily life. A balance between work and rest is important... Hmm, the key point is that this place is just too comfortable. Are there sleeping pills in these flames?"

"You're just spouting nonsense."

Hongling sighed.

As she spoke, the flamingo suddenly plunged into a ball of flames, startling Hongli.

But soon, they emerged from the other side of the flames, completely unharmed.

In a fleeting glimpse, Hong Li seemed to see that there were actually quite a few exquisite buildings, courtyards, pavilions, flowers, and trees inside that ball of flames!

"So that was where we lived?!"

Hongli, like a curious child, asked her aunt, "Am I going to live in there too?"

"Hmm, each flame is the home of an outer disciple, while the inner disciples' residences are located deeper inside. Each of us inner disciples has more than just a small courtyard; each of us has a mountain of flames!"

Hongling boasted with a hint of pride, "You can plan and arrange things however you like, such as raising spirit beasts or planting spirit herbs."

"Well……"

Hongli frowned in thought, then raised her biggest concern: "Won't novels and snacks stored here get burned?"

Be careful.

"what?!"

"Haha, just kidding, there's absolutely nothing to worry about."

Hongling couldn't help but laugh: "Wait until... um?"

Before she could finish speaking, Hongling subconsciously stopped and looked to the side, and Hongli followed suit.

A plump old man was gently fanning the small flames with a palm-leaf fan.

Within the flames, countless fire spirits floated about, laughing and running ahead of the old man as if playing a game of tag.

"You little rascals, don't run around like that! What if the kids catch you and use you for cultivation?"

The old man, half-frightening and half-caring, urged the fire spirits to return to where they belonged: "Cultivating oneself properly is the right path. You spirits born of nature, if you could attain enlightenment, that would be a great blessing."

"Wow."

Hongli couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "That person can fly!"

"Shh, don't be so rude."

Hongling explained in a low voice, "That is the leader of our Fire Department, an elder who can sit on equal footing with the sect leader. The five elders and the sect leader are all powerful figures who were disciples of the previous sect leader."

Apart from the sect leader who has already entered the Nascent Soul stage, the five elders are all veteran Golden Core cultivators, and they might form their Nascent Souls at any time!

As disciples of the Fire Department, we share the common grandmaster, Elder Fire.

"Oh ho."

Hongli nodded: "I'm gradually understanding everything!"

"Hey, isn't this Xiao Ling'er? I haven't seen her in a while."

In the blink of an eye, Elder Huo, who had been far away, appeared in front of them, fanning himself with a palm leaf fan as he looked at the two women and the crane with a smile: "Did you take on a disciple? This little girl looks a bit unfamiliar."

"Greetings, Elder Huo."

Hongling smiled and gave a slight bow, then casually pulled Hongli aside. The latter then realized what was happening and quickly greeted her.

"This child is named Hong Li, and she is considered a junior member of my Hong family."

Hongling explained with pride, "Moreover, she is the first among today's newly initiated disciples to reach the Qi Refining Realm. I'm about to take her to register as an outer disciple!"

"Oh that's fine!"

Elder Huo raised an eyebrow and smiled: "This year's top spot actually belongs to my Fire Department. Very good, very good. In recent years, the new disciples recruited by my Five Elements Sect have always been somewhat lacking in strength. It seems that this year we have finally turned our fortunes around. Very good."

Do not!

I might just be that unlucky one...

Hongli muttered to herself, feeling a little guilty and not daring to look the elder in the eye.

"Hmm, the little girl is quite shy, haha."

Elder Huo laughed and waved his palm-leaf fan: "Then this old man will take his leave first. Those little guys will be gone in no time!"

"Yes, they're both good kids, very promising!"

"Elder, walk slowly!"

Hongling waved to Elder Huo's retreating figure, then smiled at Hongli: "So, don't you think our Elder Huo is very approachable?"

"Uh, a little."

Hongli scratched her head and quietly untied her pigtails: "Think about it, shouldn't flames and the like make you anxious, impatient, and short-tempered?"

"Ha, quite a few disciples who practice fire magic do have the kind of personality you described."

Hongling couldn't help but smile: "But there are differences between fire magic, just like earth has the virtue of bearing all things and is indestructible, and can also nurture spiritual plants to benefit the region."

Fire can be a raging fire that punishes evil, or it can be as passionate as our Elder Fire.

Although each elder has their own personality and is deeply loved by everyone, I dare say that only our Elder Huo would diligently and clearly remember each disciple.

Just like how the elder called out my name so quickly, he should remember you now too!

"Ah... let's not..."

Hongli shrank back, feeling a guilty sense of being a slacker who was now being closely watched by the head of the grade...

"Haha, let's not talk about that now."

Hongling smiled and said, "Let me take you to collect the essential items for our outer disciples first."

"Uh, what are they?"

"The most important disciple token is used to go to the cafeteria for meals, register residences and secret rooms, and accept missions."

A set of disciple robes can easily protect one from the swords and blades of the secular world, remain unstained by dust, and can be changed in style at will.

There is also the egg of the little flamingo. We must carefully nurture and raise it to adulthood. It is an important partner for us disciples of the Fire Department.

And also, newly joined disciples can freely choose any Qi Refining stage cultivation technique from the sect, and there are monthly benefits afterwards... In short, it's very generous!

After rambling on and on, Hongling concluded, "That's why everyone wants to join our immortal sect—it's a true leap to the heavens!"

"what?"

Hongli's eyes suddenly quieted down. She came to her senses and realized that her aunt had finally finished speaking. She quickly lowered her head and echoed, "Yes, that's right!"

At the same time, Hongli awkwardly twisted her body, blocking the chat panel in front of her. Although she knew that others couldn't see it, she still felt guilty.

Sure enough, she still needs to keep trying to achieve the ability to naturally lose focus without blushing or skipping a beat!
