Seeing that the Little Doctor was a little restrained, Mu Qingxiao gently held her hand and tickled her palm. She immediately rolled her eyes.
The atmosphere was eased. The Little Doctor picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. She said in surprise, "It smells so good. It seems to contain a strong energy …"
"Little girl, you know what's good for you."
The Fire Cloud Ancestor stroked his white beard and a smile appeared on his wrinkled old face.
"The tea is brewed with the leaves of a level eight spiritual tree. It contains a large amount of gentle fire energy. Only the Fiery Mountain Range has this kind of spiritual tree. Just a cup will benefit you greatly."
"Thank you, senior."
The Little Doctor thanked him and then said, "Sister Cai Lin, do you want a cup?"
"Hiss …"
Immediately, a soft hiss sounded from Mu Qingxiao's long sleeves. Cai Lin's seven-colored body floated in the air. Her golden snake eyes glanced at the old man and then landed on the teapot.
The Fire Cloud Ancestor narrowed his eyes and a smile appeared on his face.
"This is … the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. I have seen it once before. However, it was nine-colored and had reached the level of a Dou Sheng. I didn't expect you to have such a talented Magical Beast."
The Fire Cloud Ancestor was a Dou Sheng and was very knowledgeable. Even a Dou Zun might not be able to recognize the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, but he could.
In an instant, a cold killing intent swept out from Cai Lin's body.
Mu Qingxiao's hand trembled and she almost dropped the teacup on the ground. She pretended to be calm and said, "Cai Lin is not a Magical Beast. She is my wife."
Cai Lin withdrew her killing intent and glared at the Fire Cloud Ancestor. She curled her cute tail and took the teapot away. She stepped on the air and returned to Mu Qingxiao's wrist.
The smile on the Fire Cloud Ancestor's face froze. He said awkwardly, "I was rude. Please don't blame me."
After saying that, he inadvertently glanced at Mu Qingxiao. He didn't expect her to have such a special hobby. She actually married a Magical Beast. There were probably not many people like her in the entire continent.
At this moment, a calm voice sounded from outside the door.
"Ancestor, Tang Zhen requests an audience."
"Come in."
Mu Qingxiao raised her head slightly and saw a skinny old man with red hair dressed in simple hemp clothes. The old man had a smile on his face the entire time.
Tang Zhen, five star Dou Zun.
After entering the bamboo house, Tang Zhen was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected that there would already be guests here. For the Old Ancestor to receive a guest, their status was likely extremely high. Could it be the Pill Tower?
After they sat down, Tang Zhen sized up Mu Qingxiao and the Little Doctor, and then he looked at Ancestor Huoyun and said, "Ancestor, may I know who these two are?"
Fire Cloud Ancestor sighed and said, "This fellow daoist is a Tier 9 alchemist."
"Ninth rank!"
Tang Zhen's eyes were filled with disbelief when he heard this. A grade nine alchemist, that was a figure at the pinnacle of the continent. Was this young man who was ridiculously young in front of him?
A Ninth Grade Alchemist meant that the latter's strength was probably even more terrifying than the Old Ancestor's. Otherwise, the Old Ancestor would not be so polite.
Coming back to his senses, Tang Zhen suppressed the shock in his heart and cupped his hands as he said, "I wonder if you're the Pill Tower's senior?"
"Pill Tower?"
Mu Qingxiao shook his head and said, "I have no relationship with the Pill Tower. I have only heard that Valley Chief Tang is looking for an alchemist. Hence, I have traveled a great distance to come to the Burning Flame Valley."
"Ugh …"
Tang Zhen did not dare to reply for a moment. He was not an idiot and did not think that he had the qualification to get a grade nine alchemist, a Dou Sheng, to come to the Burning Flame Valley to refine a pill for him.
Forget about him, it was likely that Ancestor Huoyun would have to pay an inestimable price to hire a grade nine alchemist.
"May I know what request elder has?"
Since a grade nine alchemist dared to come to the Burning Flame Valley, the latter definitely had a request.
However, what Tang Zhen could not understand was what was in the Burning Flame Valley that was worth a grade nine alchemist coming here.
Mu Qingxiao smiled and said in a calm tone, "I will personally refine medicine for Valley Chief Tang. May I know if Valley Chief Tang can bear the pain and give the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame to me?"
Tang Zhen's expression did not change when he heard this. He subconsciously glanced at Ancestor Huoyun and a helplessness immediately surged into his heart.
He already knew that the Burning Flame Valley could not afford to offend the latter. Even Ancestor Huoyun, who was as strong as a Dou Sheng, had already lowered his head. If he were to say no, it was likely that he would receive an endless blow.
The reason why the Burning Flame Valley was able to stand in the Middle Region of the Central Plains until now was because the Burning Flame Valley did not interfere with the disputes of the outside world.
However, he did not expect that such an expert would be interested in the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame. Although it was a 'Heavenly Flame', it was not ranked at the top of the 'Heavenly Flame Ranking'. In terms of strength, it could not be compared with the 'Heavenly Flames' that were ranked at the top.
"Elder, the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame is merely ranked twelfth. If elder wants a 'Heavenly Flame', I think that there are better choices, right?"
Although Tang Zhen felt that there was little hope, he still wanted to fight for it. The Nine Dragon Lightning Flame was the inheritance flame of their Burning Flame Valley. Unless he had no other choice, he did not wish to hand it over.
Mu Qingxiao was unconcerned when she heard this. She said, "It is not that there are no other 'Heavenly Flames'. However, the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame is also one of the targets."
Not only was Tang Zhen startled when these words sounded, but even Ancestor Huoyun was startled. They had already guessed that the latter was collecting 'Heavenly Flames'. As for the purpose, they did not know.
Tang Zhen mused for a moment before carefully saying, "Since this is the case, it is not appropriate for me to reject elder's request. If elder is able to subdue the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, this' Heavenly Flame 'will belong to elder."
"Alright."
Mu Qingxiao nodded slightly. It was merely a Nine Dragon Lightning Flame.
Tang Zhen stood up when he heard this. He said, "The Nine Dragon Lightning Flame is extremely strong. This place is where the ancestor trains his body and mind. Moreover, it is also the Martial Technique Hall of the Burning Flame Valley. Elder, please move."
Not long later, Xiao Chen followed Tang Zhen and arrived at an empty plot of land behind the mountain of the Burning Flame Valley.
Tang Zhen ceased hesitating. His hands swiftly formed a seal. After which, a cluster of silver-colored flame floated out of his chest.
The flame was silver-colored. As it rose, one could faintly see nine silver-colored fire dragons shuttling within the flame.
Dragon's might was agglomerated within the 'Heavenly Flame'. Hence, it had the effect of intimidating one's soul. The silver-colored flame burned in spirals. Nine tiny fire dragons shuttled in all directions as though they possessed intelligence.
Some dragon's might spread out from within, causing one's Spiritual Strength to feel a little pressured.
Nine Dragon Lightning Flame.
Standing in the distance, the Little Doctor could feel the destructive power within the 'Heavenly Flame'. Mu Qingxiao still maintained a calm expression.
Tang Zhen summoned the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame. Mu Qingxiao waved his hand and the 'Heavenly Flame' floated towards his palm. It seemed to want to escape as dragon roars were emitted from the 'Heavenly Flame'.
However, Mu Qingxiao's casual wave was filled with a power that it could not resist. The Nine Dragon Lightning Flame was immediately powerless.
Looking at the silver-colored 'Heavenly Flame' in his hand, Mu Qingxiao shook his head in disappointment. It was likely that only the Emperor Flame in the Tou She Ancient God Cave could allow him to break through the tribulation.
