Ancient Flame Demon Mansion
"What kind of test is it? Elder, please tell me." Gu Xuan looked at Elder Chuan and asked.
Although he knew that the test would not be simple, he was confident that he could pass it. It was just a matter of time.
It would be hilarious if the Alchemy Emperor in his past life was trapped by a Master's test.
"Ancient Flame Demon Mansion!" Elder Chuan said slowly.
Hearing this name, Yang Yu's eyebrows twitched. He said suspiciously, "Elder, doesn't the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion only allow advanced Honorable Martial Artists to enter? Junior Brother Gu Xuan is only a two star Honorable Martial Artist. Isn't it a little too dangerous for him to enter the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion?
"I want to test a peerless genius. What is peerless? It is to surpass the ordinary." Elder Chuan said solemnly, "Gu Xuan is indeed only a Two Star Revered Realm warrior, but his strength is comparable to an Eight Star Revered Realm warrior. It is enough for him to go to the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion."
"But, the danger inside …" Yang Yu was worried and reminded him.
"There will naturally be dangers. In fact, there is even the risk of dying prematurely. However, how can a true genius not accept life and death tempering? Not only Gu Xuan, but even you will also undergo such tempering." The Technique Imparting Elder slowly said.
Yang Yu wanted to say more, but Gu Xuan waved his hand, "Senior Brother Yang, the Elder wants me to go because he thinks I can do it. He won't send me to a premature death."
Yang Yu nodded, "Then Junior Brother must be very careful. Even a Late Ultimate God warrior has a sixty percent chance of dying in the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion!"
A sixty percent chance might not seem like much, but those who could enter the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion were not inferior to Dragon King Tian. Only five or six of such geniuses could come out alive.
"I will give Gu Xuan a life-saving item." Elder Chuan flipped his palm and a round metal ball appeared in his hand.
"This is a Human Rank Spiritual Treasure. I destroyed it and turned it into a vessel to store Yuan Li. I have infused it with a year's worth of Yuan Li and it can be activated three times. Each time, it is enough to escape from a King Realm warrior. However, once you use it, it means that you have failed the test. You must be at least a King Realm warrior to receive such treatment."
"Alright." Gu Xuan nodded his head and received the metal ball. In his heart, he was rather impressed by this Elder.
The so-called One Year's Origin Power was the Origin Power that the Elder of Imparting Techniques had cultivated for a year. It was forcefully separated out, and he had to use a Human Tier Spirit Treasure to create this life-saving item.
In reality, just the value of this treasure alone surpassed the sum of nurturing Gu Xuan from Exalt Rank to King Rank.
Doing this was undoubtedly to let the geniuses understand that the treatment they received was not easy to come by. Moreover, if they could experience the tempering of life and death, their hearts of martial arts would become more tenacious.
It was not surprising that such a figure could nurture Yang Yu.
However, it was destined that Gu Xuan would not be able to use this treasure. His own strength might be a little lacking, but Yun Xi's strength was probably a little stronger than Chuan Gong Elder's. How could some later stage Venerables be a match for him?
"Gu Xuan, there are still ten days before the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion opens again. As for how long it will take before it closes, I am not certain. I can only say that it will be between one to three months. During this period of time, you should properly prepare yourself," the Elder reminded.
"Yes." Gu Xuan nodded.
"Alright, all of you can go. During this period of time, you should stay with Yang Yu. He has been to the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion before, so you can learn more about it. After ten days, he will bring you there," the Elder instructed.
"This disciple understands." Yang Yu replied respectfully. There was some joy on his face. This way, he could openly seek out Gu Xuan for a martial arts exchange.
"Go, go." The Elder waved his hand with a smile on his face. As the upper echelon of the sect, what he was most afraid of was the discord between the genius disciples.
It was not a big deal even if the ordinary disciples fought with each other. However, the top geniuses would be the pillars of the sect in the future. If there was a grudge between them, the impact would be great.
After walking out of the Elder's residence, Gu Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. He turned his head and said to Yang Yu, "I will return to my residence first and tidy up. After that, I will discuss the matter of going to the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion with Senior Brother Yang."
"Alright, Junior Brother must be quick. I went to consult the elders and have many new ideas in martial arts. I was just thinking of exchanging pointers with Junior Brother Gu Xuan," Yang Yu said with a smile.
Gu Xuan parted ways with Yang Yu and walked straight to the inner courtyard. After a while, he arrived at his residence.
"Senior Sister Han, have you rested well?" Gu Xuan walked to the front of Han Xinyan's residence and knocked on the door.
After a while, Han Xinyan opened the door and walked out. At this moment, she had already regained her usual vigor. After Gu Xuan left, she waited for a long time without any results and fell asleep. With the recovery ability of a warrior, she had completely recovered after half a day of sleep.
"Junior Brother Gu, I am fine now." Han Xinyan's face was filled with shame. Gu Xuan had gone to the Law Enforcement Hall and she had actually fallen asleep. She felt sorry for Gu Xuan.
However, the continuous torture of more than twenty days had caused her to be on the verge of a mental breakdown. This was something that could not be helped.
"It's good that you are fine." Gu Xuan nodded and smiled. "Since you are fine this time, nothing will happen in the future."
Han Xinyan's face was filled with joy. She asked, "Has the Law Enforcement Elder's matter been resolved?"
"Yes, I went to negotiate with him. From now on, all grievances are written off." Gu Xuan nodded indifferently.
"Written off?" Han Xinyan was stunned. She could not help but reveal a look of horror in her eyes.
The so-called "written off" could only be done when both parties were of the same status. Only when both parties resolved their grievances at the same time could it be called a peaceful negotiation. If only there was no punishment, it could only be called bypassing.
Gu Xuan's words seemed casual, but the actual meaning behind them made Han Xinyan feel somewhat incredulous.
Gu Xuan not only had a powerful background, but he also had a status that was on par with the Law Enforcement Elder.
…
Gu Xuan did not have anything to pack. He only took a few pieces of clothing and rushed to the True Inheritance Courtyard.
Although he had never heard of the Flame Demon Ancient Mansion before, it was obvious that it was a cave dwelling of a martial artist or a ruin of some great influence. With such a high mortality rate, if there weren't enough treasures, how could so many talented martial artists rush here!?
