Chapter 202 - Flame God Sect
Chapter 202 Flame God Sect
In County Governor Manor. There was a flower garden that was exceptionally lively, full of people. The commander of Yuanfeng County, Zheng Deli, was currently instructing his servants. “Have you prepared everything? Today, we have an esteemed guest. If anything happens to you, I’ll skin you alive!” The servants started to get busy. No one dared to be careless.
Su Wen and the others had also arrived early to prepare for the event. There were three people who came entered this area: Su Wen, Xue Qianxun, and Little Su Su.
As a music maestro and boss, Su Wen was purely here to watch the show. Zheng Deli walked to their side and looked at Qianxun before saying sternly, “If you sing well tonight, I will reward you handsomely. If you don’t sing well, don’t blame me for being harsh!”
Xue Qianxun’s cultivation was nothing in his eyes. He still had two guards of 8th Grade Earth Rank in his residence.
As for Su Wen, he had long concealed his cultivation base.
Su Wen smiled and nodded. After Zheng Deli left, Su Su whispered, “Father, he’s so fierce!”
Su Wen touched her head and smiled. “If he dares to be fierce to you, Daddy will blow his head off.”
This was no joke. Soon, it was time for the banquet. Zheng Deli brought in a person. An old man with white hair and beard had a red face appeared. Although he didn’t look young, his complexion was excellent. “Elder Jiang, please take a seat!” At this moment, Su Wen and Xue Qianxun were waiting in the corner.
Little Su Su stood beside Su Wen and watched curiously as the mighty adult suddenly lowered his voice.
The old man sat down, and Zheng Deli hurriedly ordered the dishes to be served. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zheng Deli smiled and said, “You’ve come from afar this time. As for me, I don’t have much to entertain you. I heard that Elder Jiang likes to listen to music. Over here, there happened to be a woman who sang excellent songs recently. I specially invited her over for you!”
As he spoke, he waved at Su Wen and the others.
Xue Qianxun immediately went forward while Su Wen took out his zither and started playing. It was still the same song, ‘Big Fish’, a melodious voice accompanied by the strumming of the zither. Soon, the entire hall was intoxicated.
After she finished singing, Zheng Deli asked fawningly, “How was it?”
The old man nodded slightly and said, “Not bad, interesting.” “Another song!” Zheng Deli said. Xue Qianxun continued singing, but this time, it was the song “Coolness”. (TL Note: Another sad and emotional song, search for Coolness or Liang Liang by Zhang Bichen.) /In the cold night, my yearning for you forms a river./ /Turns into the mud of spring to protect me…/ Along with the sound of the zither, the old man closed his eyes and shook his head slightly. Obviously, he was intoxicated by the song as well.
Not long after, the song ended. The old man smiled and said, “You sang well. This song is interesting. Although the words are a little crude, the tune is very nice.” In the eyes of these ancient people, modern lyrics were naturally lacking in charm. Seeing that the old man was satisfied, Zheng Deli bowed and said, “May you take a look at my son…” “Bring him out to take a look!” When the old man said this, Zheng Deli was overjoyed! Not long after, they brought out a seven or eight year old child. When he walked in front of Elder Jiang, the old man reached out to touch his bones. He placed his hand on the youth’s abdomen and said, “If you can’t hold it in anymore, cry out!”
As he exerted his strength, the child’s face turned redder and redder. However, he still gritted his teeth and persevered. About a minute later, the child could not help but cry out. A trace of disappointment flashed across the old man’s eyes as he said indifferently, “His natural endowments are average, but he can enter the sect. Even if he succeeds in the future, I’m afraid he will only be around 8th Grade Earth Rank.” Upon hearing this, Zheng Deli was overjoyed. He hurriedly said, “Zheng Chun, why aren’t you kneeling down and acknowledging him as your master?” Su Wen was very disappointed when he saw that it was only a scene of a Master taking in an apprentice. Initially, he thought that he could find out something from this event, but it turned out to be completely different. At this moment, Zheng Deli said to Su Wen, “You guys can leave. Go to the back and get your pay for the work!”
Su Wen pursed his lips. F*ck your father. Where was the extra reward for a job well done? Why didn’t he mention it? Fine, forget it. Su Wen stood up and handed the zither to Xue Qianxun before leading Su Su out.
Even though his investigation had failed, Su Wen was not disappointed. He knew very well that nothing was so coincidental. How could it be that when he entered the residence to sing, the other party happened to be discussing what he wanted to know?
That was too nonsensical.
However, at this moment, the old man surnamed Jiang suddenly caught sight of Su Su.
He was stunned when he saw her.
“Wait!”
“Stop!” Zheng Deli hurriedly helped to stop Su Wen’s company. He turned around and smiled. “Elder Jiang, is there anything wrong? Have you not heard enough? Then let them sing a few more songs.” The old man impatiently pushed him to the side and said, “You’re blocking the way!” Immediately after, he stood up and walked to Su Wen, looking at Su Su. “Red hair…. red eyes… Raging Flames Saint Body?” His eyes were filled with excitement. He immediately squatted down and said, “Little girl, I’ll put my hand on your stomach later. If you can’t take it, shout it out just like that little brother just now, okay?”
Su Su was so frightened that she hid behind Su Wen.
The elder’s eyes lit up again. This lass has such good movements at such a young age? He reached out to grab Su Su! At this moment, Su Wen’s voice sounded in his ears.
“Old thing, don’t blame me for not warning you. If you dare to put your filthy hands on her without my daughter’s consent, I’ll smash your head and feed it to the dogs!” Su Wen coldly spat.
Su Su was definitely one of Su Wen’s reverse scales.
He did not care even if his cultivation was exposed.
The Elder Jiang stood up and said coldly, “Brat, don’t be too arrogant.” Zheng Deli also shouted, “Are you f*cking crazy? Do you know who this is? This is Elder Jiang from the Flame God Sect! He’s a 9th Grade Earth Rank expert! There’s no one stronger than him under the Heavens!” Well… In the absence of a Heaven Rank, this theory was indeed correct. However, Su Wen did not care. 9th Grade Earth Rank? That still depended on what kind of person he was!
He still had some misgivings about people like Wu Kunhu, but if he used all his methods, he might be able to put up a fight with them. As for those ordinary 9th Grade Earth Rank cultivators, Su Wen really did not care about them.
Su Wen’s eyes narrowed slightly. During this period of time, he had also gained some understanding of Great Chu. Compared to the Zhou Country’s Bright God Sect and Jade God Sect, the Great Chu’s Flame God Sect and the Thunder God Sect were the biggest sects. Obviously, those who could obtain the name of God Sect were definitely the strongest sects in a country! Even so, Su Wen still looked at the old man coldly.
There was no hint of emotion even after hearing his status.
Elder Jiang met his gaze for a long while before taking a deep breath and suppressing his anger. “You’re her father, right? I suspect that your daughter might possess the legendary Raging Flames Saint Body. If she has the aptitude, I’m willing to take her as my disciple. In the future, she’ll be the Holy Maiden of the Flame God Sect! Her future is limitless.”
Su Wen shook his head. “There’s no need!”
These words were true. Su Wen did not lack Heaven Rank techniques! (Author’s note: Previously, it was written in the book that Su Wen had imparted the Great Solar Supreme Skill to Su Su. Later on, I realized that I had written he could not teach it to others, so I changed it to the Roaming Dragon Wind Sword. Currently, Su Su is practicing the Solar Universe Great Solar Art and the Roaming Dragon Wind Sword.) Elder Jiang gritted his teeth and said, “You have to think about it for her! Even if you have the martial arts to teach her, can you compare to our Flame God Sect? If she joins the Flame God Sect, she will have a chance to obtain a Paragon Technique!” “Hmm?” Upon hearing this, Su Wen was also a little tempted. As his comprehension of the Great Solar Supreme Policy deepened, Su Wen was very clear about its power. Compared to ordinary Heaven Rank techniques, the difference was truly too vast. Not to mention a Paragon Rank technique! The old man continued, “I guarantee you that if she joins the Flame God Sect, I will immediately apply for a Raging Flames Blood Burning Pill for her! That is a precious treasure of our sect! If she eats this Heaven Rank pill, it will be very beneficial to her.” This was the first time Su Wen felt the foundation of a major sect. He looked down at Su Su, who quickly shook her head. It was obvious that she did not want to acknowledge him as her master.
Su Wen sighed faintly and looked at Elder Jiang with a shy smile. “Why don’t you take a look at me instead? Actually, I’m still very young! I can be your Sect’s Saint or something…”
Elder Jiang was stunned.
He turned his gaze to Su Wen and frowned. “You can control fire?”
Su Wen casually snapped his fingers and a series of crackling sounds could be heard in the air. Soon, flames started burning out of thin air.
Without any True Qi fluctuations, this was pure talent, not a martial technique! Elder Jiang’s jaw dropped.
He frowned at Su Wen and asked, “You don’t have a sect?”
“Family techniques!” “Heaven Rank?”
“Heaven Rank!”
Hearing the affirmative answer, Elder Jiang was conflicted.
To be honest, generally speaking, the sects were usually unwilling to accept such talented wanderers.
The first was that they were usually too old, and the second was that they were not easy to control!
However, the problem was that if Su Su, who was beside Su Wen, came in as well and was nurtured from a young age, it would be a gain.
The main question was, how could he guarantee that this fellow in front of him could stay in the sect in peace? “Is there anyone else in your household?” “I only have a wife and no one else.” Su Wen lied immediately. His wife was naturally referring to Ni Hongxiao. When he heard that Su Wen was not from a wealthy family, Elder Jiang could not help but start calculating in his heart. It seemed that Su Wen’s talent was also very strong… Zheng Deli was dumbfounded. Wasn’t this my son taking in a Master? “That… Elder Jiang, do you think my son can also get that Heaven Rank medicinal pill? What do you want? Tell me, I’ll get it for you even if I have to go bankrupt!” Elder Jiang curled his lips. “It’s a waste for your son to eat that thing. Give up!” When Zheng Deli heard this, he was furious. He glared at Su Wen fiercely. Unsurprisingly, Su Wen turned to look at him and sneered. “Why are you looking at this Daddy? Do you believe that I’ll beat up your son every day after entering the sect?” This first sentence made Zheng Deli so angry that he was about to turn hostile, but after hearing the second sentence, he was speechless.
What kind of person was this?
“There’s no need to fight with such uncouth people.’ Zheng Deli comforted himself. However, he also knew that it was not easy for his son to join a sect like the Flame God Sect.
Entering the Flame God Sect would allow his son to reach 8th Grade Earth Rank. If it was any other sect, he might stagnate at 4th or 5th Grade Earth Rank!
The difference was too great.
Furthermore, there was a difference between an 8th Grade Earth Rank and an 8th Grade Earth Rank from a God Sect.
He fell silent, not daring to make another sound.
Old Jiang asked Su Wen, “You won’t be leaving for the next few days, right?”
“No.”
“Alright, then wait for me here for a few days. I have to return to the sect to discuss this. But before that, can you let me see her talent?” Su Wen shook his head and said, “I’m the one who’s taking you as my master. Do you think my talent is not good enough? Why are you looking at my daughter? Can’t you see that she doesn’t like you?”
“Um…”
At this moment, Su Su smiled and said, “Grandpa, is it you want to see fire control? I know it too!”
Su Su extended her hand and pointed. Golden Holy Flames instantly shot out! “Hiss!” What kind of f*cking talent was this?
As an expert in playing with fire, Elder Jiang could tell at a glance that this flame was extraordinary! The Holy Flames were extinguished. Elder Jiang looked at Su Su with a completely different gaze. Test? Test for what?! After pondering for a moment, he took out a bottle of elixir from his bosom and squatted down. The creases on his face were squeezed together as he revealed a brilliant smile.
“Good child, come. This bottle of elixir is given to you by Master. Remember Master’s name, I’m Jiang Ye. If you have nothing to do, just eat it as candy. But don’t eat it too fast. Eat one every three days.” This was a bottle of Fire Essence Pill. It was an Earth Rank elixir and was the mildest. After consuming it, it would nourish the body.
Su Wen frowned. “You made a mistake. I’m the one who wants to acknowledge you as my master! My daughter didn’t say that she wants to acknowledge you as her master!” Jiang Ye stood up and glanced at Su Wen with a smile. “It’s fine, I’ll introduce my master to you.”
Su Wen: “…”
Su Wen finally left with Su Su and Xue Qianxun. The sidelined Zheng Deli couldn’t help but ask, “Elder Jiang, is that child talented?”
Jiang Ye glanced at him from the corner of his eye and said, “Is there a need to ask? Does your child know how to produce fire when he’s two or three years old? And is it even a golden fire? Do you know what that means? Let me tell you, you had better watch these people carefully. If anything happens, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!” After returning to the team, Su Wen gathered everyone and told them what had happened. Then, he said, “If that old man really comes back in two days and wants to take me as his disciple, I’ll get Zheng Deli to get some identification for all of you. When the time comes, you will have the legal identity of a Great Chu official. After that, Chu He, you will follow Zhao Rui and go to Yan Country first. After you arrive, your mission is to make friends. Don’t care about who they are. Befriend them first. As for setting up the spy network and transmitting the news, there’s no hurry. Wait for me to arrive first.”
Zhao Rui said with a bitter expression, “If you don’t go, I won’t feel confident!” Su Wen slapped him and pretended to be angry. “I f*cking told you to go play and make friends, but you’re still not confident? Then if I ask you to scout for information, aren’t you going to die?! Don’t worry, no one knows you!”
After leaving the capital, did he still think that Young Master Su was so easy to talk to? However, Su Wen did not use much strength. He was just joking with him as well. Zhao Rui thought about it and realized that it made sense. He didn’t do anything, so there was no reason that he would expose himself.
After everyone dispersed, only Su Wen and Ni Hongxiao were left in the room.
Now, Xue Qianxun had an additional job. That was to be a nanny! She was in charge of taking care of Su Su daily. Ni Hongxiao frowned. “Is there a need for Su Su to acknowledge him as her master?” Su Wen said in a deep voice, “I don’t know if the Flame God Sect has a Paragon Rank cultivation technique, but if there’s really such a chance, I would want Su Su to take it.” Ni Hongxiao naturally knew how precious a Paragon Rank technique was. “Alright then, but why should I come along?” Su Wen smiled. “Can you tolerate Su Su being so young and staying in the sect alone?” “Eh…” Ni Hongxiao was indeed a little worried. “Alright then! I’m going back to my room. I still have experiments to do.” Ni Hongxiao stood up. However, she was stopped short by Su Wen, who suddenly held her hand. He smiled and said, “There’s one more thing!” “What is it?”
“I told the elder of the Flame God Sect that you’re my wife!”
“And then?” Ni Hongxiao did not understand. Su Wen said seriously, “You are my wife. You already have a child and you have yet to lose your virginity. Do you think it’s appropriate?” Su Wen knew very well that he needed a reason to convince Ni Hongxiao. He felt that this reason was very suitable. Ni Hongxiao stared at Su Wen… their eyes locked for a long time… After a while, Ni Hongxiao sighed and blew out the candle. In the darkness, the voices of two people could be heard! “Hurry up, don’t delay my experiments!” “That will depend on your ability! Heh, take this!”
In the Flame God Sect, more than ten elders were gathered!
All of them were engrossed in listening to Jiang Ye’s report. After he finished speaking… The current Sect Master frowned and said, “Are you sure that child is two to three years old and can activate an Extraordinary Flame?”
Those that possessed flames far surpassing ordinary flame abilities were called Extraordinary Flames. One had to know that even the Raging Flames Saint Body could only control ordinary flames! If it was as Jiang Ye said, then Su Su’s talent was too terrifying Jiang Ye said in a deep voice, “Of course it’s true. I saw it with my own eyes. Moreover, as long as I bring her into the sect, everyone can see that my disciple’s talent can be said to be top-notch!” The old fellow was cautious and was afraid that others would snatch his disciple from him!
Another elder said, “But, do you think that girl’s father has a cultivation base? What rank is his cultivation?”
Jiang Ye was stunned. He suddenly realized that he did not notice Su Wen’s cultivation level at all.
“Probably 8th or 9th Grade Earth Rank!” However, according to Su Wen’s words, he had some guesses. “With such a cultivation, what should we do if he enters the sect and has ulterior motives?” Jiang Ye smiled and said, “Even if he has a 9th Grade Earth Rank cultivation, can he still overturn the heavens in the sect? As for harboring any ill intentions, so long as we use our Spirit Language Secret Technique to prevent him from leaking the sect’s cultivation techniques, then what harm can he do to the sect once he leaves?” When everyone heard this, it seemed to make sense. The Spirit Language Secret Technique was set up by the various sects to prevent their cultivation techniques from being leaked. It was a special type of spiritual technique. As long as one signed a contract, regardless of whether they wanted to say a cultivation technique or write a cultivation technique, they would immediately lose consciousness.
Including Xue Qianxun, she also was branded with such a secret technique. Otherwise, Ding Hesong would definitely not hand her over to Su Wen.
There was basically no such thing as killing people and torturing them about cultivation techniques in this world. On one hand, it was to protect the sect’s secrets, and on the other hand, it was also to protect the sect’s disciples. Otherwise, if some disciples’ cultivation levels were not high, wouldn’t they be human-shaped secret manuals? “But if that person enters the sect with such a cultivation, who will he take as his master?” Jiang Ye smiled. “I’ve already convinced my master to teach him personally.” Everyone could tell that this old fellow had really put out all his cards. Someone couldn’t help but say sourly, “I was wondering why Old Jiang kept running down the mountain these past few days. It turns out that he has taken a fancy to such a seedling.” “Sigh, the number of disciples I took in can’t even be compared to this one person!” “Isn’t that so! He even applied for a Heaven Rank medicinal pill from the sect. None of my disciples have eaten it before.” There was also competition between the elders. Because most of them found it difficult to break through to the Heaven Rank, they usually competed through their disciples. Seeing that Jiang Ye was about to accept a super genius, who wouldn’t be envious?
Several days later, Su Wen brought his family to the Flame God Sect.
As they walked, Jiang Ye introduced, “Daqiang, you’re one of us from now on. As long as you work hard for the sect, the sect will not mistreat you.”
At this point, he said in a low voice, “Furthermore, in a few days, it will be the opportunity for the sect to pay respects to the Fire God Martial Ancestor. If you and I help Su Su snatch a spot, Su Su will have a chance to comprehend a technique!
