Chapter 61

This fire is strange; no matter what, it won't go out. Zhou Feng stomped on it wildly, but the fire continued to burn. Zhou Feng looked coldly at the alchemy formula enveloped by the flames and muttered, "It's over, it's over, this time it's all over."

Wang Meng smiled, "There's always a way when you reach the mountain. What needs to be faced must be faced."

Even with Zhou Feng's good temper, he couldn't help but explode, "You... huh?"

Just as Zhou Feng was about to start cursing, he suddenly noticed a golden glow emanating from the flames. The fire grew smaller and smaller until only a golden object remained, covered in ancient inscriptions.

Zhou Feng felt as if he had found a treasure. He stared at the text in wild excitement, muttering, "Marvelous, marvelous, this is interesting, so that's how it is!"

He suddenly turned to look at Wang Meng, "How did you get a life fire? That's something only alchemy cultivators have!"

Wang Meng shrugged, "I have fire in my five elements, so I cultivated a bit of life fire for convenient barbecues."

Zhou Feng rolled his eyes, "How many alchemy cultivators are you going to drive to their deaths? You actually cultivate life fire for barbecues!"

Life fire is the foundation of alchemy cultivators; only those with fire in their five elements can cultivate it. Hu Jing also has life fire.

Seeing that Wang Meng wasn't responding, Zhou Feng continued to persuade, "With your talent, join the alchemy cultivators. I'll recommend you directly to Ancestor Zhou. We can be fellow disciples!"

In his interactions with Wang Meng, Zhou Feng discovered that the boy knew a bit of everything, quite broad and deep. Some things even he didn't know. According to Wang Meng, a quirky old man who sold wild medicine told him this and also urged him to become an alchemy cultivator, but Wang Meng was set on sword cultivation and refused to agree. The old man then mysteriously disappeared.

In Zhou Feng's view, that old man might be a reclusive senior not inferior to his master, Zhou Luodan. They saw eye to eye; Wang Meng was too suitable for alchemy. With fire in his five elements, he could easily cultivate life fire. With the foundation laid by that senior, becoming an alchemy cultivator would be easy.

A golden dragon does not remain in a pond; once it encounters the wind and clouds, it transforms into a dragon!

Alas, this boy was as stubborn as a stone in a latrine, insisting on sword cultivation. Xu Huang had already left; why bother, why suffer!

Seeing Zhou Feng about to nag, Wang Meng quickly got up, "I'm going to practice. If you don't drink those wines, I'll help you finish them as today's teaching fee. No need to thank me."

Wang Meng didn't hesitate and took the wines without waiting for Zhou Feng's response. After all, alchemy cultivators are never short of gifts.

The news of Zhou Feng's arrival gradually spread. It wasn't convenient to visit him at the main hall, but now there was such an opportunity. Various gifts were clearly not few, and Zhou Feng didn't bother with them, so Wang Meng benefited.

Zhou Feng smiled bitterly. The disguise on the alchemy formula was definitely Lu Yun's doing. He was slow in this aspect, wasting so much time. This boy was more resourceful. Thinking of this, Zhou Feng felt even more itchy. Damn it, with enough effort, an iron rod can be ground into a needle. Once he hits a wall in sword cultivation, he will definitely remember the good of alchemy.

Zhou Feng suddenly laughed, "I am truly a genius."

The hall battle was over, but its impact was just beginning. Whether it was for spirit stones or other reasons, Thunderlight Hall had gained some fame. To some, it was a revival from the ashes.

For the main hall, they certainly didn't want Thunderlight Hall to fall, so they gave affirmation and rewards.

Suddenly, some disciples wanted to transfer to Thunderlight Hall, many for the spirit stones.

But regardless, it could attract the attention of experts, which was a good thing.

This kept Hu Jing and others busy. They didn't want the spirit stones they worked hard for to be taken away, so they added some restrictions. The charm of spirit stones was indeed significant.

To put it bluntly, they were coming for the spirit stones. But if Thunderlight Hall could give them hope, they wouldn't mind where they went.

After the hall battle, the elders seemed to be stimulated. They supervised Hu Jing, Zhang Xiaojiang, Zhou Qian, and others more strictly and attentively.

Zhang Xiaojiang finally managed to find Wang Meng and started shouting from a distance, "Brother Meng, I'm here!"

Opening the door, he noticed that Wang Meng's room seemed a bit different, with fewer things.

Seeing Zhang Xiaojiang, Wang Meng smiled, "You came just in time. I was going to tell you, I plan to be out for a while."

"Ah, Brother Meng, take me with you, please! Don't abandon me!"

"Get lost, don't pull this act. Right now, staying here is more important than following me around."

Wang Meng laughed and scolded.

"But, I also want to go out. They say it's more exciting outside, with fiery demonesses and alluring demonesses..."

"Has anyone told you that demonesses want wealth and demonesses want lives? Wait until you have the strength. Right now, it's the perfect opportunity for you and Hu Jing to establish your authority in Thunderlight Hall."

Wang Meng said.

"Brother Meng, I don't know why, but lately I've had a feeling. Not just Thunderlight Hall, even the Holy Hall might not be your place. But no matter what, don't forget us."

Zhang Xiaojiang said. Sometimes, the little fatty's intuition was very accurate.

"Get lost, when did you learn to be so sentimental? Work hard. No matter what happens, I'll be there when you need me."

Wang Meng left without letting Zhang Xiaofat see him off. But in reality, Wang Meng knew that Hu Jing and Zhang Xiaojiang were quietly seeing him off from a distance.

Such a scene was rare in his previous life. One person comes, one person goes, a new beginning, indeed different.

As Wang Meng was lost in his thoughts, a loud roar came from behind, "You scoundrel, prepare to die!"

Suo Ming, wielding two large hammers, flew out from the side of the road and swung them at Wang Meng.

Wang Meng turned, dodging the hammers, and drew his sword from his waist, striking Suo Ming's neck. Suo Ming staggered and fell with a thud.

Wang Meng brushed off the dust from his clothes, squatted down, and tapped Suo Ming's forehead with the broken blade, "Suo Ming, you had a good life, why come after me?"

Suo Ming, his vital point struck, felt powerless, as if he had seen a ghost. The other's strength was not only accurate but also just right. How could anyone be so precise? He wasn't a worm in his stomach.

Eyes wide, heart hardened, "Kill me, or I will kill you!"

Wang Meng laughed, "Is it because I know your vital point? Don't worry, we are fellow disciples, I keep my mouth shut."

Suo Ming seemed touched by a painful memory, "What's a vital point? I've been expelled from Hengshan Hall. I have no home. Just kill me!"

The more he thought about it, the sadder he became. He had done everything to fit into Hengshan Hall, working hard to cultivate, fearing that others would reject him, but he was still abandoned.
