Chapter 79

Dao Guang Tang is indeed a terrifying place. The people here are not only powerful but also incredibly shrewd. Traps and schemes are everywhere. Without a bit of flexibility, one might die without even knowing how.

Especially Ning Zhiyuan, ever since he became the eldest disciple of Dao Guang Tang, he has always been the top young expert in the Holy Hall. It seems that he never uses his full strength in any competition, yet he wins effortlessly.

Li Tianyi has no interest in the Hundred Treasures Hall. His focus on cultivation has never been greater. After witnessing Wang Meng's effortless steps, his competitive spirit was completely ignited.

To put it in Ming Ren's words, Wang Meng thoroughly ignited Li Tianyi's fighting spirit. He is no longer the lazy, lackluster person he used to be. To be honest, Li Tianyi hasn't even exerted his full strength to reach his current level. In a way, he should thank Wang Meng.

Swish, swish, swish...

Sword qi danced through the air like butterflies, and Li Tianyi slowly sheathed his sword. He had boundless energy and vitality every day, feeling better than ever before.

Clap, clap, clap...

"Senior Brother, what brings you here to see me?" Li Tianyi sheathed his sword and smiled. He respected Ming Ren not only because he was a senior brother but also because of Ming Ren's character and his unfathomable strength.

Li Tianyi had always been puzzled. How could Ming Ren not be able to defeat Ning Zhiyuan? Was Ning Zhiyuan really that strong?

"I came to see if you needed anything. Not bad, although I don't know how much your Nine Heavens Fire Control Sword has improved, your sword qi has gained a touch of spirituality... or perhaps patience."

Ming Ren smiled.

"Haha, Senior Brother, you are truly perceptive. You are the second person to notice my changes."

Ming Ren knew the first person must be their master.

"Wang Meng is indeed a bit unpredictable. Do you know what he has been up to lately?"

Ming Ren felt a bit exasperated.

"Hehe, tell me, I'm interested in everything about this guy."

"It seems he has become obsessed with alchemy. He often goes to forge iron, but I haven't seen him practice swordsmanship. According to the news, I've never seen him practice swordsmanship."

Ming Ren waved his hand helplessly.

Li Tianyi was also taken aback. Was the other party not taking him seriously at all?

"Of course, he might be practicing secretly, or he might have discovered something and is deliberately misleading us."

Ming Ren said.

Li Tianyi shook his head, gripping his sword with a fanatical look. "Senior Brother, you haven't fought him, so you don't understand. As a sword cultivator, I can tell from his first move that he is extremely passionate about the sword. It's a resonance, so he can't possibly switch paths."

"Hehe, normally, that would be impossible, but the problem is that Elder Zhou seems to have taken a liking to him."

"Zhou Elder? Could it be the alchemy enthusiast Zhou Feng?" Li Tianyi was stunned.

"Exactly, it is. Zhou Elder has a high regard for Wang Meng. You know about the complicated relationship between Zhou Elder and Lu Elder. After Lu Elder took a good disciple, Zhou Elder's days have been tough. For some reason, he has taken a liking to Wang Meng."

Ming Ren wasn't worried that Wang Meng wouldn't switch paths; he was worried that if he did, Li Tianyi would be very upset.

Li Tianyi knew his feelings were right, but Zhou Feng was indeed a master in the Holy Hall's alchemy. Being favored by him was a great honor. It would be incredibly frustrating to lose a rival just when he had found one.

"No, no, he can't practice alchemy. What's good about alchemy? I have to talk to Zhou Elder!"

"Stay calm, there's no rush. From what I understand, Wang Meng has no intention of becoming an alchemist. Otherwise, Zhou Elder wouldn't still be trying to persuade him. However, you should make an appearance at the Hundred Treasures Hall to remind him. If he continues to slack off, he will disappoint you."

"Parents gave me life, but Senior Brother understands me. Hehe, you are the first to know. My Nine Heavens Fire Control Sword is about to reach perfection, not only complete but also flawless!"

As he spoke, Li Tianyi exuded an invincible aura and confidence.

Stimulated by Wang Meng's strength, Li Tianyi burst with unimaginable potential. When a genius faces a challenge, there are only two possibilities: either they fall into obscurity or they explode to their limits, becoming the most terrifying existence.

Clearly, Li Tianyi belongs to the latter.

Ming Ren was taken aback: "...You mean perfection?"

"Hehe, finally, something that can surprise you. I thought nothing could escape your notice."

"Haha, congratulations, Junior Brother. Even the ancestors would be shocked. I am increasingly looking forward to it."

Ming Ren said.

"Senior Brother, that's not enough. Perfecting the Nine Heavens Fire Control Sword is just the first step. Wang Meng, that kid, better not disappoint me!"

Wang Meng, who was being talked about by Li Tianyi, kept sneezing. He found that refining pills was more effective in improving his alchemy fire, so he had basically settled into refining pills. These sneezes were really disrupting his rhythm.

He thought the third-grade alchemy fire would be easy, but after practicing, he realized that different fields were like different mountains. It seemed he could only hope to refine it before the Hundred Treasures Hall.

Several types of pills were already laid out beside him, all for practice.

At the main hall, Zhao Lingxuan was always caught and confined for a while whenever she sneaked out. The tracking mark on her body made it impossible to escape.

"Xiao Ling, what kind of women do men like?" Zhao Lingxuan stroked the head of the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix, discussing a profound question.

The Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix tilted its head... Shouldn't she be asking someone else?

"I secretly listened to the senior sisters' discussions. Women should have large chests, long, straight legs, and smooth, tender skin. My skin is very smooth and flawless, but when will my chest grow? I still need to grow taller. Really, why does time pass so slowly!"

Zhao Lingxuan complained, looking at her budding chest with some urgency. It was just not growing fast enough.

The Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix was speechless, staring blankly at Zhao Lingxuan.

"No, time doesn't wait for anyone. It seems unlikely that I will grow much taller in the short term. I can only go for the cute route. I think Senior Brother likes the cute and obedient type. I might have been too lively and disobedient before. Sigh, that's not a good impression!"

Zhao Lingxuan clapped her hands, as if she had found the root of the problem. She posed in front of the mirror, looking incredibly charming.

But the little girl was still not satisfied, looking at her figure and sighing.

The Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix couldn't stand it anymore. What's the problem? Its owner is the most beautiful, perfect in every way. It's just that the bumpkin doesn't appreciate it!

Zhao Lingxuan turned the head of the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix, "The Hundred Treasures Hall is about to start. I really want to go, but Master definitely won't let me."

The Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix chirped, and Zhao Lingxuan immediately jumped up with joy, pouncing on the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix, "Xiao Ling, you are so smart. As long as I break through to the twentieth level, Master will definitely let me out!"

For Zhao Lingxuan, it seemed that advancing just needed a reason...

Sometimes, for a genius, life only needs a spark.
