231: Chapter 231 Inner Demon Thunder

Seeing the two Rank 8 Yao Beasts, everyone present had the urge to flee immediately, but upon seeing that the two Golden-Winged Heavenly Tigers did not seem to have any intention of attacking, they dismissed the thought of running away.

Seeing everyone staring at him vigilantly, Xiao Yuchen smiled, climbed down from the tiger's back, and came before them.

"The sacred fire is inside the cave. As previously agreed, I am leaving the opportunity to you. If you cannot tame it, then just leave."

Hearing Xiao Yuchen say this, the members of the Fire Cloud Valley finally reacted.

"L-Little Friend, what is going on? Those are two Rank 8 Yao Beasts; did they not attack you?" Huo Feng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked.

"Why would they attack me? I have always valued peace. Since you want something that belongs to others, you should negotiate with them properly. You only know how to kill and fight; that is not friendly at all."

"I..."

Huo Feng did not know how to refute this. Negotiate with a Yao Beast? How? Was this not a joke?

"You only want to take others' possessions without paying a price, so of course they are unhappy. In any case, I have already negotiated with them. The sacred fire is now in the cave; go and tame it. However, I am only giving you one chance. If you fail, leave immediately. Besides, there are no Spirit Medicine inside the cave; if you want Spirit Medicine, go find them yourself."

Saving the Golden-Winged Heavenly Tigers was his achievement, and he had already spent a dashan pill, so those Spirit Medicine counted as his compensation; he would definitely not give them to anyone.

"Very well. Since Little Friend is so trustworthy, my Fire Cloud Valley will naturally be trustworthy as well. If we cannot tame the sacred fire, we will leave here on our own."

Having witnessed Xiao Yuchen's strength, Huo Feng completely abandoned the idea of taking it by force. Not to mention that he might not be able to defeat Xiao Yuchen, they simply could not handle those two Rank 8 Yao Beasts alone.

Bowing to Xiao Yuchen, the five Elders of the Fire Cloud Valley entered the cave. When passing by the two Rank 8 Yao Beasts, they remained very vigilant. Seeing that the other party ignored them, they felt relieved and entered the cave.

After the five of them left, Long Aotian also came over and said with a flattering expression, "Elder Yuchen, you are simply our idol. How exactly did you do it? Why were those two Rank 8 Yao Beasts so polite to you?"

"Perhaps it is because I am handsome, or maybe I look more like a good person. Regardless, this is my way of making a living; naturally, I cannot tell you."

Xiao Yuchen did not answer. He did not want the five of them to know that he had acted as a midwife for the Golden-Winged Heavenly Tigers; if that happened, he would lose all his Face.

"Oh, in any case, Elder Yuchen is amazing. To be able to use Rank 8 Yao Beasts as mounts—I am afraid only Elder Yuchen could accomplish this."

Xiao Yuchen did not continue speaking, waiting for the final result. Of course, everything happening inside the cave was under his control, and those five were destined to fail.

Sure enough, half an hour later, the Grand Elder Huo Feng escaped from the cave in a charred and disheveled state, while the other four had blood-red eyes. Upon coming outside, they actually started performing a striptease.

"Damn, what are those four doing? Have they gone crazy?"

Long Aotian was the first to see the four of them standing at the cave entrance, stripped of their clothes and twisting their bodies.

Xiao Yuchen also could not bear to look. The scene was truly too obscene, and the key point was that four grown men were dancing there; he really had no mood to watch.

Just then, the Grand Elder Huo Feng came before Xiao Yuchen with an embarrassed expression, "L-Little Friend, what is inside the cave is actually the Green Lotus Demonic Fire, ranked tenth on the sacred fire ranking. It can bewilder people's minds. We are unable to tame it; I beg Little Friend to save the four Elders of my Fire Cloud Valley."

"They are so embarrassing like this; is there still a need to rescue them?"

Xiao Yuchen was calm on the surface, but he was overjoyed inside. These guys had always been arrogant; this would serve as a lesson for them.

"Does your Fire Cloud Valley really intend to give up? Is the sacred fire not the life of you Artifact Refiner? Are you not going to try a little harder?" Xiao Yuchen continued to tease.

"W-We give up. I beg Little Friend to save them. My Fire Cloud Valley owes you a favor."

Although the four of them had lost all of Fire Cloud Valley's Face, they were, after all, Elders of the Fire Cloud Valley and the strongest people besides the Sect Master and himself. If they were to give up now, the Fire Cloud Valley simply could not bear the loss.

"Fine. For the sake of the Grand Elder, I will help them."

Saying this, four wisps of flame flicked from Xiao Yuchen's hand and entered the four men's foreheads. The four immediately regained their clarity. Seeing that they had stripped off their clothes and were dancing in front of everyone, they really want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

After the four regained their clarity, Xiao Yuchen retracted the four wisps of flame.

"Little Friend, you are truly a gifted genius. Even our Sect Master cannot catch up to your fire control technique. Your flame..."

As an Artifact Refiner, the Grand Elder naturally saw the extraordinariness of Xiao Yuchen's flame at a glance. To be able to suppress the Green Lotus Demonic Fire, which was ranked tenth on the sacred fire ranking, just how strong must Xiao Yuchen's flame be?

"Shh... do not speak of it. Be careful, lest trouble comes from your mouth. If I find out that you have leaked this matter, then the Fire Cloud Valley can wait to be exterminated." Xiao Yuchen threatened.

If it were before, Huo Feng would definitely have scoffed at Xiao Yuchen's words; for one person to dare to dream of exterminating a Sect was simply impossible. But now, he absolutely believed it.

"Yes, we dare not, we dare not. We will leave right now."

The five were too disheveled; the Face of the Fire Cloud Valley had been lost by them. They really did not want to stay here any longer and left the Monster Forest together.

Seeing the people from Fire Cloud Valley leave, Xiao Yuchen turned to look at the others and said, "There are no Spirit Medicine inside the cave. If you need Spirit Medicine, go find them elsewhere. Of course, if you are also interested in the sacred fire, you can go and tame it as well; I will give you a chance too."

Everyone present heard Xiao Yuchen say this and showed bitter expressions. Even the Fire Cloud Valley, which had dispatched a Void Tempering expert, had failed. What courage did they have to tame the sacred fire? They fled the place immediately, and in the end, only Long Aotian and the other four were left.

"This time the outsiders have finally left; it is finally my turn to perform."

Xiao Yuchen smiled and walked into the cave. Although this Green Lotus Demonic Fire could bewilder the mind, Xiao Yuchen had three types of sacred fire inside his body, which were even more powerful than the Green Lotus Demonic Fire, so naturally, he would not be affected at all.

Looking at the green flame in front of him, Xiao Yuchen once again used the method of devouring to absorb the Green Lotus Demonic Fire. His fire seed grew larger again, but like the lightning seed, although it had improved, it did not reach the max level.

Despite this, Xiao Yuchen's strength still reached the Middle Stage of Body Integration from the Peak of the Early Stage of Body Integration.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking through to the Middle Stage of Body Integration. Reward: Second stance of Thunder Control Technique — Heart Demon Lightning, 300 million Low-Grade Spirit Stone, 100 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stone. They have been placed in the System Inventory. Please check, Host."

The Thunder Control Technique finally had a second stance. Xiao Yuchen quickly checked the description.

Heart Demon Lightning: A type of attack technique that ignores defense. The caster can cause Heart Demon Lightning to instantly generate inside the enemy's body. It is silent and formless, catching them by surprise and disintegrating the enemy from the inside.

Seeing the description of Heart Demon Lightning, Xiao Yuchen was overjoyed. This type of internal attack method was very similar to Soul Heavenly Fire, only that Soul Heavenly Fire attacked the Soul, while Heart Demon Lightning attacked internal organs.

One must know that even a Body Cultivator only has strong external defense; their inside is equally fragile. This Heart Demon Lightning is the nemesis of Body Cultivators.
