The Ancient Fire Tribe was a tribe that worshipped the God of Fire, Zhu Rong.
Among the tribes under the Qing Shui Tribe, it was one of the better ones. Even if it was not number one, it was at least among the top three.
Therefore, when Ling Xian arrived at the Ancient Fire Tribe, he was pleased to see a place with verdant hills and clear waters.
However, the Ancient One's enthusiasm was too much for him to handle.
He was far too enthusiastic. It was as if he was facing the legendary God of Martial Arts. His enthusiasm was tinged with respect and flattery.
"Your presence really brings light to our humble dwelling, Your Excellency."
The Ancient One's face was full of smiles, revealing his pearly white teeth. Especially against his dark skin, his teeth were as white as the first snow.
The other tribesmen behind him were the same.
Everyone looked at Ling Xian with burning eyes. Other than respect, there was also envy.
It took Ling Xian and Gu Na three days to travel from the Qing Shui Tribe to the Ancient Fire Tribe. In these three days, the news of him taming hundreds of beasts had spread throughout the entire Cang Yue Mountains.
Other than some tribes that were located in remote areas, most sorcerer tribes had already heard of this shocking news. The Ancient Fire Tribe was no exception.
To a mid-sized tribe like this, even a beast tamer who could only tame a few beasts was not an existence they could recruit, let alone a powerful beast tamer like Ling Xian.
Someone like Ling Xian who could tame hundreds of beasts in an instant was like a legend. They didn't even dare to dream about it!
Yet, he had chosen the Ancient Fire Tribe. Therefore, why wouldn't everyone be enthusiastic?
"Leader, you are too kind."
Ling Xian smiled and waved his hand. "I am here as an Honorable Guest. There is no need to be so enthusiastic."
"It is my duty, it is my duty."
The Ancient One's smile remained. "To a powerful being like you, it is only right for me to be enthusiastic."
Pausing, he said apologetically, "You can only blame the Ancient Fire Tribe for being shabby and lacking in hospitality. I hope you will forgive me."
"No problem."
Ling Xian grinned. "A quiet place to stay is enough."
Hearing this, the Ancient One's smile deepened and he sighed in relief.
He was afraid that Ling Xian was arrogant and had a bad temper. He was also afraid that Ling Xian did not truly want to join the Ancient Fire Tribe.
But now, Ling Xian's attitude had undoubtedly proven his temperament and willingness. The Ancient One was completely relieved.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
When they first found out that Ling Xian was going to join the Ancient Fire Tribe, they were extremely excited. After all, to this mid-sized Tribe, Ling Xian was a legendary existence. As long as he joined their Tribe, their capabilities would skyrocket to become the strongest of the mid-sized Tribe!
Even if they faced a large tribe, they would still be able to put up a fight!
Therefore, who wouldn't be excited? However, after that, they began to worry about their gains and losses.
Ling Xian's abilities were far too outstanding. Ignoring everything else, his ability to tame hundreds of beasts in an instant was enough for the top-notch tribes to extend an olive branch to him.
How could a mere mid-sized tribe compete with them? It was obvious that they were no match for him.
Therefore, everyone in the Ancient Fire Tribe began to worry, fearing that he would suddenly change his mind.
Now that Ling Xian had clearly stated that he would join the Ancient Fire Tribe, everyone sighed in relief.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency. I will definitely arrange the best accommodations for you." The Ancient One's eyes shone with excitement as he patted his chest.
"It's best if you don't need it. Quiet will do." Ling Xian faintly grinned. He never had high expectations for his accommodations.
However, when he remembered that he had tamed hundreds of beasts, he added another condition, "It's best if it's a forest. After all, I have to take care of them."
Then, he shifted his gaze to the hundreds of beasts behind him. His eyes were filled with helplessness.
Although this group of Demonic Beasts looked mighty and majestic, in reality, they were all ordinary Demonic Beasts with no potential at all.
With Ling Xian's current capabilities, he had no use for them. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to teach those people a lesson, he wouldn't have signed a contract with them.
But since he had already signed a contract, he naturally had to be responsible for it. It was just that thinking about the hundreds of beasts gave him a headache.
"I will find a suitable opportunity to release them back into the forest. But right now, I can't." Ling Xian muttered to himself. He decided to keep them for a while and then find an opportunity to cancel the contract.
"Your Excellency, do not worry. Leave it to me."
Looking at the hundreds of beasts, the Ancient One's eyes were heated. Everyone else was the same.
Though these beasts did not belong to the Ancient Fire Tribe, since Ling Xian was now an Honorable Guest, there was no difference.
With the addition of hundreds of beasts, the Ancient Fire Tribe's capabilities had increased by several levels. Naturally, everyone's hearts were filled with excitement.
"Then I will leave it to you, Ancient Leader." Ling Xian smiled.
"Your Excellency, please follow me."
The Ancient One waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to disperse. Then, he marched forward to lead the way.
Seeing this, Ling Xian followed. Gu Na did the same.
After a while, the three of them arrived at a forest. The area was not small and could easily accommodate hundreds of beasts.
Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction. "Not bad, this is the place."
"As long as you are satisfied."
The Ancient One's smile widened. Suddenly, he remembered Ling Xian's treatment. "Right, did my daughter ever tell you about the treatment?"
"Never."
Ling Xian faintly grinned as he admired the luxuriant foliage of this place.
"Ehem, ehem …"
The Ancient One coughed twice and said, "As you know, the Ancient Fire Tribe is only a small tribe. Our capabilities are limited."
"It doesn't matter. If I valued the treatment, I would not have rejected the Qingshui Tribe." Ling Xian waved his hand. He had two reasons for joining the Ancient Fire Tribe.
The first reason was to find a place to stay. The second reason was to thank Gu Na for helping him out. As for the treatment, he did not care.
"That's true. But since you are willing to join the Ancient Fire Tribe, if we do not offer you the best treatment, it will show that we are not sincere."
The Ancient One paused and said in a low voice, "The most important thing in the Ancient Fire Tribe is the totem. So I have decided to let you study it as you please."
Gu Na was shocked. She did not expect her father to allow Ling Xian to look at the totem so easily.
Ling Xian was also slightly taken aback.
He was somewhat interested in the Ancient Fire Tribe's totem and wanted to see if he could replicate it. However, he did not expect the Ancient One to agree so readily.
After all, the totem was the most important thing in a tribe. But on second thought, he understood.
Based on the abilities he had shown today, many tribes wanted to invite him to become a guest. Presumably, it would not be long before the other major tribes besides the Qingshui Tribe would send people to visit him.
Under these circumstances, the Ancient Fire Tribe would not have an advantage at all. Moreover, he would have to show the totem sooner or later. He might as well be happy and leave a good impression on him.
As such, Ling Xian could not leave the Ancient Fire Tribe.
"I wonder if you are satisfied with this treatment?" The Ancient One was full of smiles. He was expectant and nervous.
"I am naturally satisfied that the Ancient Leader is so straightforward."
Ling Xian looked at the Ancient One meaningfully and said, "Don't worry. Since I have agreed to become a guest of the Ancient Fire Tribe, I will not join other tribes."
