Chapter 56: The Seal of the Blazing Fire
The mountains were vast and the land was barren; no one would have imagined that such a desolate place would harbor precious mineral veins.
This vein of earth marrow stone is located outside the territory of the Chen Kingdom, where loess dust flies everywhere.
It is located at the border between the Qingmu Sect and the Lihuo Sect, a typical no-man's-land.
The fact that the Fang clan of Ruyi were able to discover this place is truly a matter of luck.
Fang Yun sized up the group of cultivators opposite him. They were from the Qi Refining Zhu family, who were affiliated with the Li Huo Sect.
Both sides followed the ancient rules of the cultivation world, deciding the winner in three rounds.
"I'll play the first round."
Senior Sister Mu Lingxin took the initiative to speak, her eyes sparkling, and she was eager to try.
It was her first time experiencing something like this, and she found it very interesting and fun.
The Fang family head couldn't help but look at Fang Yun, worried that the young lady might get hurt during the battle.
Unfortunately, once Mu Lingxin has made up her mind, no one can change it.
She took out a ruler that looked like jade, neither gold nor jade, and it exuded a powerful magical aura.
The battle was won very easily; Mu Lingxin's enemy was just an ordinary Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator, whom she easily crushed.
In the second round, Fang Bin wanted to send a member of his family, a middle-aged man at the eighth level of Qi Refining.
Fang Yun shook his head at the sight, but in the end he assigned a subordinate with a cultivation level of nine.
Fang Bin blushed. The foundation of the Ruyi Fang family was still too weak, and there were not many disciples who could be considered outstanding.
Unexpectedly, the Fang family lost the second match.
The cultivators sent by the Zhu family had actually broken through the Foundation Establishment bottleneck.
Even if he fails, his magical power remains profound and powerful, surpassing that of ordinary cultivators who have reached the peak of Qi Refining.
Finally, the third and most crucial battle arrived.
"We can't afford to lose. I still have many second-tier spirit talismans and a talisman treasure. Let's lend them to them for the duel."
Unexpectedly, Mu Lingxin was quite concerned about the Fang family's affairs.
Although she came from a prestigious Golden Core clan, she was very compassionate and unwilling to see the vassal forces under the Green Wood Sect defeated by others.
Fang Yun remained noncommittal, then looked at the third cultivator sent by the Zhu family and suddenly let out a soft exclamation.
He was an extremely heroic young man with a broad face and square mouth, a dignified appearance, and his cultivation level should be at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.
He was actually wearing the robes of a disciple of the Li Huo Sect, and his aura was as intense as a raging fire.
"Zhu Zhengyi of the Li Huo Sect greets fellow Daoists."
The young man spoke loudly, his eyes extremely bright, sweeping over the many cultivators of the Fang family, his eyes seemingly filled with fighting spirit: "Entrusted by the Zhu family, I am determined to obtain this mine."
"The Zhu family..."
Mu Lingxin frowned slightly: "This is a bit tricky. This is also a renowned Golden Core clan, and they probably have many trump cards up their sleeves."
"I'll go and meet him."
Fang Yun suddenly spoke, showing some interest.
He sensed a familiar magical aura emanating from this person, and for a moment, he felt an itch to fight.
"Qingmu Sect, Chen Xiaoyun."
Fang Yun entered the battlefield, clasped his hands in salute, and introduced himself.
"I never expected to meet a fellow Daoist who also cultivates the Fire Separation Technique."
Zhu Zhengyi stared at him, equally eager for a fight: "I'm a few years older than you, and my cultivation is higher. It wouldn't be fair for us to fight each other. How about we spar in fire control techniques instead?"
"good."
Fang Yun nodded, not caring about these trivial details.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!"
With a wave of his sleeves, Zhu Zhengyi unleashed his magical power, which coalesced into a lifelike fiery dragon.
Fang Yun also cast the same spell, flames blooming from his fingertips, transforming into a fire dragon that coiled and spun behind him.
The two sides began to compete in fire control, and one fire dragon after another flew out, soaring through the sky and releasing intense high temperatures.
In the end, each group had nine fiery dragons crisscrossing, shaking their heads and wagging their tails, each with a different posture.
"Fellow Daoist Chen is so young, yet his fire control skills are so remarkable."
Zhu Zhengyi's face showed astonishment. He changed his hand seals again, and the nine fire dragons above his head suddenly merged into one, soaring into the sky!
Fang Yun also changed his hand gestures, and the flames moved with his will, transforming into a nine-headed fire dragon, majestic and ferocious!
The two enormous fiery creatures roared and howled as they collided violently, ultimately turning into smoke and vanishing into nothingness.
"Again!"
Zhu Zhengyi laughed heartily, formed hand seals, and unleashed a powerful spell: "Wildfire Seal!"
The magical power surged, transforming into a massive palm print over ten feet in size, distorting the air and manifesting a raging inferno!
This is the most powerful spell recorded in the Li Huo Gong (Li Huo Gong) manual, named Li Huo Seal, with fierce and domineering power.
Fang Yun remained unfazed, his fingertips radiating magical power, which transformed into a massive seal resembling a prairie fire.
"Again! Second move—Burning River Seal!"
Zhu Zhengyi's gaze grew ever brighter, and his entire being seemed to be burning, as he changed his hand seals once more.
A second crimson palm print appeared, brimming with immense magical power, strong enough to briefly evaporate a river!
Fang Yun's dantian roared with magical power, and he also condensed the second move, the Burning River Fire Seal, with overwhelming power!
Seeing that the game was still a draw, Zhu Zhengyi's expression finally turned serious, and he mobilized all his fiery magic power.
Slowly form the third hand seal, which is also the strongest one.
The Blazing Inferno Seal!
With this move, three enormous palm prints appeared out of thin air, suppressing all things in the world.
It already vaguely exudes the aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator!
Fang Yun looked at the other person and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
He was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and his magical power was insufficient to unleash the "Heaven-Rending Fire Seal".
Fortunately, he could take a shortcut.
Fang Yun spread his arms wide, flames rose, and he actually summoned two powerful spiritual flames, Golden Sun and Azure Lotus.
Accompanied by a deafening dragon roar, and before the shocked eyes of all the cultivators...
A full eighteen fiery dragons appeared, nine of them gold and nine of them blue, their flames shining brightly together.
It was dazzling, illuminating all directions in an instant.
"combine!!"
Fang Yun's spiritual power surged forth, suppressing the flame magic power and forcibly merging them together.
In the end, the Wildfire Seal, the Burning River Seal, and the fiery dragons all disappeared.
Only a blue-gold flame palm print remained.
Though only three feet in size, it resembles a real dragon coiled up, with every scale and armor clearly visible, making it incredibly lifelike.
Everyone could feel the immense power contained within this dragon seal.
That was the power of infinitely compressed flames, scorching hot enough to instantly kill any cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining!
"I lost..."
Zhu Ping'an sighed softly, dissipating all his magical power, and his palm print drifted away in the wind.
Although he could perform the Three Forms of Fire Seal, he was merely reciting the script and practicing the spells step by step.
It is currently impossible to integrate several printing methods into one and innovate upon them.
"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me."
Fang Yun pointed his finger down, and the Flame Dragon Seal quietly collapsed and disintegrated, turning into two streams of spiritual fire which he absorbed into his dantian.
This was a killer move he created on a whim.
If one were not naturally compatible with fire, one would not dare to be so reckless, as an accident could easily lead to an explosion.
Although he lost the mineral vein, Zhu Zhengyi was not angry and took the initiative to invite Fang Yun and the other person to drink and discuss philosophy.
Consider it making friends.
After a discussion, the three shared their initial findings, thus gaining a basic understanding of each other.
Zhu Zhengyi was indeed born into a powerful Golden Core clan, but only from a collateral branch; his parents were mortals.
At the age of six, he was found to have a superior fire spirit root, which allowed him to rise to prominence in his family. Now he is an inner disciple of the Li Huo Sect.
He was named Zhengyi (Justice) because his father was a secular constable.
The Zhu family was able to persuade him because they had a clansman practicing in the sect, which they offered as a reward.
Zhu Zhengyi has his eye on this mine because he wants to use a large amount of Earth Marrow Stones to cultivate a kind of eye technique.
