Chapter 434
434 Fighting for a Disciple
Li Yuanqing and the other two left the valley and landed on a small mountain.
Along the way, Huo Feng and Wang Lan were arguing, so there was no place for Li Yuanqing to interrupt.
However, Huo Feng finally could not hold it in anymore.
“Young friend, do you still remember our agreement?”
“Senior, I naturally remember.”
“Since you still remember, it’s easy to settle. The Heavenly Soul Incense is not a treasure that is easy to find. I can give you more time. How long will it take for you to bring the Heavenly Soul Incense to me?”
“The Heavenly Soul Incense is tens of thousands of miles away. It’s very dangerous. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to obtain it in a short period of time.”
“Of course I know.” Huo Feng sat upright on a huge rock and circulated his cultivation technique at a steady pace. “I’ve already waited for hundreds of years. I don’t care if I have to wait for a period of time.”
Hearing their words, Wang Lan immediately panicked.
“That won’t do. If you leave, what will happen to my Giant Spirit Fruit?”
“What giant spiritual fruit?”
Huo Feng acutely captured the key information. His sharp eyes swam back and forth between the two of them.
“It has nothing to do with you.” Wang Lan waved his hand and walked straight to Li Yuanqing’s side. “I’m telling you, before I figure out that fruit, you’re not allowed to go anywhere!”
“But I’ve already promised Senior Huo Feng that I’ll help him find the Heavenly Soul Incense.”
“Can you wake up?” Wang Lan said angrily, “That old fellow has been searching for more than a thousand years, but he hasn’t been able to find it. Where can you find it with your strength? Even if you find it, can you bring it back? Do you have the ability?”
Huo Feng’s originally calm face became a little unhappy. He said coldly, “That’s easy. As long as you really know where the Heavenly Soul Incense is, I can follow you.”
“That won’t do!” Wang Lan interrupted and said angrily, “After so many years, I finally found such violent material. I must figure it out. Before I figure it out, you’re not allowed to go anywhere!”
“Does that mean you’re going to fight me for it?”
Huo Feng looked at Wang Lan coldly.
Wang Lan did not show any weakness. He glared back and said righteously, “Get this clear first. Everything is about first come, first served. Do you still want to take the initiative?”
Seeing this, Huo Feng raised his horsetail whisk with one hand and prepared to attack.
Wang Lan did not retreat at all. He waved his hands and golden flames inexplicably appeared on his body.
“Old thing, I haven’t fought with you for hundreds of years. I have to fight to my heart’s content this time!”
“If not for the fact that I pitied you back then, I would have burned you to death. How could you be so arrogant today?”
Although Huo Feng looked serious, when the two sides were at daggers drawn, every word they said was heartbreaking.
“Good lord, I was only slightly defeated because I was disturbed by you back then. Do you really think you can defeat me? Why don’t you show me your ability first? Let me see if you’ve improved after hundreds of years!”
As Wang Lan spoke, the golden flames on his body transformed into golden armor. He was still holding a flame spear in his hand.
“I’ll make sure you never have such a chance to be arrogant again!”
The two of them were about to fight when Li Yuanqing suddenly stood up.
“Seniors, calm down!”
“Junior, move aside. This is between the two of us. It has nothing to do with you. Don’t hurt yourself later.”
Wang Lan also said, “That’s right. This has nothing to do with you. Hurry up and retreat to the side. I’m still waiting for you to help me get the fruits.”
Li Yuanqing felt dizzy from these two seniors. These two old enemies really did not forget to be competitive at this age.
“Seniors, we’re all on the same side. Why are we suddenly fighting now?”
Wang Lan’s body was burning with raging flames. He looked at Huo Feng and criticized, “Who’s on the same side as him? He’s really here for benefits. I know this person’s intentions very well!”
Huo Feng sneered and retorted, “Don’t pretend to be high and mighty with me. You’ve been greedy for small benefits since you were young and forgot about righteousness. You’ve done everything for your alchemy skills. How can you say that?”
“That’s still much better than killing your dual cultivation partner!”
“You!”
Li Yuanqing’s heart skipped a beat. When he heard Wang Lan say this, he immediately felt that something was wrong. As expected, Huo Feng stopped talking nonsense this time and shook his horsetail whisk.
Although Wang Lan had shouted happily just now, he was still thinking about it. Seeing that the violent energy wave had already reached him, he did not dare to be careless and hurriedly dodged to the side.
The energy wave brought about by the horsetail whisk hit the empty space where Wang Lan had been standing just now. A long and narrow ravine was immediately slashed out on the empty mountaintop.
Half of the small mountain was split open. The crack was very flat.
Li Yuanjing looked at the long and narrow crack with lingering fear. Fortunately, he did not get involved in their argument just now. This fellow was really ruthless.
“Alright, you old kid, you actually hit me so hard. You think I don’t dare to attack you, right?”
Wang Lan shouted and a large ball of flames suddenly erupted from the spear in his hand. The flames twisted in the air and condensed at the tip of the spear again.
Wang Lan stepped on a ball of flames and drove him along. Like a cannonball, he instantly rushed out and appeared in front of Huo Feng.
Hot flames instantly exploded in front of Huo Feng’s face. All the energy that dissipated targeted Huo Feng.
Huo Feng threw out his horsetail whisk and pointed his right hand forward. All the fur on the horsetail whisk stood up, forming a defensive shield in front of him.
In that instant, their powers collide heavily. The intense explosion shockwave turned everything within a thousand feet of them into powder.
Li Yuanqing took the initiative to retreat to the back and hid there to watch the two of them fight.
After the intense light silently dissipated, Huo Feng who was sitting there disappeared. The small hill that had been standing there had disappeared without a trace. Under the large empty space was a large area of ruins. All the rocks had been destroyed in the collision.
Hundreds of feet away from the center of the explosion, Huo Feng stood in the air and stared straight at Wang Lan.
“Old thing! I didn’t expect you to have such a reaction at such an old age!”
“Hmph! A lunatic like you is a disaster if you stay in the world. I should have taken you down for my master back then!”
“Hahaha!” Wang Lan suddenly laughed out loud. That crazy laugh coupled with his unruly image made him look like a lunatic. “If you had that ability, why didn’t you kill me long ago? Why would you wait until now?”
“We’re considered fellow disciples now. I just don’t want to fight.”
“Such nice words!”
The two of them looked like they had a lot of scores to settle. It was unknown when Li Yuanqing would finish waiting at the side. He could not help but stand up.
“Seniors…”
“Junior, let’s talk after today. I must tear this person into pieces!”
Li Yuanqing looked at Huo Feng and said, “Senior Huo Feng, what you want is the Heavenly Soul Incense.”
“That’s right.”
He then looked at Wang Lan. “What Senior Wang Lan wants is nothing more than that huge spirit fruit.”
Wang Lan turned his head and stared at him. “No, I see that you still have a lot of other goods. I want them all.”
“I have a way. I wonder if Senior Huo Feng can accept it?”
“Tell me about it.”
“I do have the address of the Heavenly Soul Incense in my hands, but I don’t know where this place is. I’m afraid it will take some time to find it.”
“What did you say?” Huo Feng stared fixedly at Li Yuanqing.
He did not expect Li Yuanqing to be able to take out that treasure immediately. He had only wanted to try his luck. He did not expect this guy to really have the whereabouts of the Heavenly Soul Incense.
Li Yuanqing did not understand the meaning of his words and explained, “Senior, don’t misunderstand. I do have a map of the Heavenly Soul Incense in my hands, but I’ve never seen the location marked on it. Since Senior has already helped me so much, I’m willing to give you this map with both hands.”
When Huo Feng heard this, he did not have the time to continue arguing with Wang Lan. He took a step forward and stood in front of Li Yuanqing.
“Bring it over quickly. As long as you give me the map, the grudge between us will be written off.”
“No!”
While the two of them were trading, someone suddenly appeared beside them.
Wang Lan stood in front of Li Yuanqing and held his hand.
“The Heavenly Soul Incense is such a precious thing. You want to get it without putting in any effort? That’s too easy on you.”
“This is a deal between me and my young friend. What has it got to do with you? Move aside, don’t force me to attack!”
“You’re wrong. He’s my disciple and I’m his master. If you want to lie to my disciple, you’re lying to me. I hate it when people lie to me!”
Wang Lan stood there righteously and stared straight at Huo Feng.
“Old man, you’re very fickle. When did he become your disciple?”
Wang Lan grabbed Li Yuanqing’s hand behind him and blinked at him. “Didn’t you say that you wanted to be an alchemist?”
“That’s right. I want to join the Alchemy Pavilion.”
“Leave this to me. I’m not that important in the Alchemy Pavilion, but I’m also a deacon. As long as you call me master, it won’t be a problem to enter the pavilion.”
“Really?”
“Of course!”
Li Yuanqing did not expect to benefit from the argument between the two of them.
Initially, Wang Lan had said that he had settled everything, but how could this not be troublesome? If he was really willing to take this responsibility, it was fine to call him master.
“Don’t listen to his nonsense.”
Seeing this, Huo Feng immediately panicked.
“What’s so good about that Alchemy Pavilion? Listen to me and join the Fire Refinement Pavilion. As long as you’re willing to call me master, I guarantee that you will officially obtain the token of the Fire Refinement Pavilion in a month.”
Huo Feng took out a purple token and showed it off.
“His status as a deacon of the Alchemy Pavilion is not very useful at all. No matter what, I’m still an elder. With such an identity, you can do whatever you want in the Immortal World from now on.”
“Don’t listen to him. This old fellow has abandoned his cultivation for so many years for his dual cultivation partner. No one knows him at all!”
“No matter how bad an elder like me is, I’m much better than a deacon like you.”
The two of them argued and degraded each other. It was difficult to determine who was better.
Just as Li Yuanqing was hesitating, Wang Lan suddenly flew into a rage out of humiliation and took out a few pieces of tattered yellow paper.
Li Yuanqing’s eyes lit up when he saw this. Although these princes looked tattered, they were things recorded by Wang Lan.
“Kid, as long as you acknowledge me as your master and give me the map of the Heavenly Soul Incense, I will pass these formulas to you now.”
Huo Feng’s eyes widened in shock when he saw him like this.
“Old man, you actually spent so much money to ruin my good deed!”
Huo Feng did not retreat either. He pressed his hand on his dantian and took out a light purple flame.
“Kid, do you recognize this thing?”
“This is?”
“This is an earth-level holy flame in the Heaven and Earth Sacred Flame. I spent hundreds of years nurturing such a rare flame. As long as you focus on cultivating it and growing with it, you will be able to release endless power in time.”
Wang Lan did not seem to expect Huo Feng to take out such a treasure. She was stunned.
Li Yuanqing hesitated between the two of them.
“Alright, you damn old man. You actually spent so much money. I was wrong about you.”
As soon as Wang Lan finished speaking, Li Yuanqing suddenly stood on Huo Feng’s side.
“Kid, you’re quite fast.” Wang Lan looked at Li Yuanqing coldly, as if she was looking at a traitor.
Huo Feng handed the flame to Li Yuanqing.
Li Yuanqing suddenly rejected Huo Feng.
“Senior, we’ve already discussed the conditions for the map of the Heavenly Soul Incense. I can’t take your flame. Take this map.”
Li Yuanqing made a copy of the map in his mind and engraved it into a jade pendant before handing it to Huo Feng.
Huo Feng stood rooted to the ground, speechless.
Li Yuanqing walked up to Wang Lan and lowered his head. “Senior, I’ve already made a promise with Senior Huo Feng. I can’t give you the map of the Heavenly Soul Incense.”
Li Yuanqing thought that Wang Lan would be very angry, but he was expressionless.
“You’re really a prodigal. You gave such a precious thing away just like that.”
