Chapter Thirty-Seven: True Flame Ring

  Qing Fan's elder pointed at Ge Sheng's brow, and the latter, who had been overly excited, quickly calmed down and closed his eyes.

  Soon, Elder Qingfan withdrew his hand.

  The method of Two-Star Soul Refining is to imprint the true images of two starry skies in one's mind, which naturally won't take much time.

  Then, Qing Fan Zhen walked up to Kong Fang's front.

  Kong Fang's expression was slightly distorted this time, but it wasn't due to excitement, rather it was worry that Qing Fan elder would discover he had already opened up the Purple Mansion.

  "I hope Elder Qingfan doesn't find out." Kong Fang prayed in his heart.

  Qing Fan stretched out his hand and pointed at Kong Fang's brow.

  In Kong Fang's nervousness, the old man Qing Fan's fingers finally landed on his brow. Two starlight shadows instantly appeared in Kong Fang's mind and quickly solidified. Then, these two starlight shadows revolved around each other, a mysterious power spreading out from them in all directions.

  "It's actually an ordinary person." Qing Fan's elder was shocked in his heart, "How can a soul be so strong that it can wake up immediately from the True Fire Realm, yet still be an ordinary person?"

  Qing Fan Lao looked at Kong Fang with a calm expression and tightly closed eyes, his eyebrows furrowed deeply, his eyes full of doubt.

  Previously, Kong Fang quickly woke up from the True Fire Realm. Elder Qing Fan had some suspicions about Kong Fang and took the opportunity to carefully examine him with his divine soul while teaching him the Soul Refining Technique. However, what surprised Elder Qing Fan was that he did not find Kong Fang's Purple Mansion, and Kong Fang was no different from an ordinary person.

  "Could it be..." Elder Qing Fan's tightly furrowed eyebrows suddenly relaxed, and a hint of excitement appeared on his rugged face.

  "He didn't break through to the Purple Mansion, but he can easily wake up from the True Fire Realm. It seems that this child's soul is naturally very strong." Elder Qingfan's eyes sparkled with excitement, "It looks like this child is a genius with extraordinary talent, and his soul is so strong that once he enters the Soul Summoning Realm..." Elder Qingfan became more and more excited, his face even turning slightly red, "Although this child doesn't have the Fire Lineage talent, but his soul is naturally strong to such an extent, then he may not be unable to refine equipment. And with his equipment refining talent..." Elder Qingfan's hand hanging by his side suddenly clenched into a fist.

  Qingfan Elder initially had high hopes for Kong Fang's talent, but upon learning that he didn't have the Fire Attribute Talent, he felt both regretful and disappointed. However, at this moment, Qingfan Elder once again saw a glimmer of hope, causing a long-forgotten excitement to surge in his heart, just like when he had obtained the Alchemy Method back then, looking forward to mastering it and being able to craft all sorts of weapons and armor.

  At this moment, the young man standing in front of him was like the alchemy method he had obtained back then, making him see endless hope.

  "Haha, those old guys will be so regretful if they knew they misjudged me!" Thinking of his old friends' regretful faces, Qingfan's heart suddenly burst into loud laughter.

  At this moment, Kong Fang's eyelids suddenly twitched a few times. Seeing this, Qing Fan Zhen Lao immediately suppressed the excitement in his heart and withdrew his hand that was pointing at Kong Fang's brow, but Qing Fan Zhen Lao's gaze towards Kong Fang became very satisfied once again.

  A disciple with a clean identity and extremely high talent for refining equipment would be liked by every elder.

  Kong Fang's consciousness sank deep into his mind, gazing at the two starry shadows imprinted in his mind. Kong Fang felt a little surprised in his heart.

  "At first, the master of the secret mansion directly imprinted the Thousand Star True Shadow in my Purple Mansion, but why did Elder Qingfan imprint the Stellar True Shadow in my mind?" Kong Fang's heart was filled with surprise and uncertainty.

  At this moment, Kong Fang suddenly felt that two rays of starlight shot out from his Purple Mansion. As soon as the two rays left the Purple Mansion, they directly collided with the two Star True Shadows in his mind. Silently and without warning, the two Star True Shadows were instantly annihilated, completely disappearing from his mind.

  Kong Fang could only sigh and temporarily suppress this question in his heart.

  Kong Fang slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing that entered his field of vision was a rough face with two extremely distinct thick eyebrows. It couldn't be anyone else but Qing Fan elder.

  Kong Fang was shocked in his heart, fearing that Qing Fan would discover that he had already opened up the Purple Mansion.

  It wasn't until Kong Fang noticed the eyes of Qing Fan elder that he was taken aback, but in Qing Fan elder's eyes, Kong Fang didn't feel any malice. On the contrary, Qing Fan elder's gaze was very gentle, and it seemed to hide other emotions.

  Kong Fang scratched his temples, feeling somewhat puzzled in his heart. "I actually felt a thrill from Qingfan Elder's gaze, but... how is this possible? If Qingfan Elder found out that I had already opened the Purple Mansion, not expelling me from Huoyun Hall would be good enough, so how could he possibly be thrilled?"

  Neither of them understood the real reason, so one was secretly delighted at not being discovered, while the other was excited to have encountered a refining genius.

  Elder Qingfan's palm suddenly flipped over, and two black rings appeared in his palm. The ring was simple in style, all black, but if you looked closely, you would find that the two rings had a faint silver light on them.

  "These are storage rings, which can store items. In the two storage rings, there is a cultivation method that has reached five stars, three basic array methods, and one soul symbol. However, Ge Sheng's storage ring also contains an additional fire-based dao technique called 'Golden Flame Transformation'."

  When he heard that he had obtained a Taoist method while Kong Fang did not, Ge Sheng was overjoyed in his heart and thought that he was more favored by Qing Fan's elder.

  Kong's face was expressionless, and even if he were given the Fire Path technique for free, he wouldn't want it, because it would be useless to him anyway, and he couldn't cultivate it at all.

  Qing Fan Lao handed two storage rings to Kong Fang and Ge Sheng, instructing them: "You two take a drop of blood to acknowledge ownership."

  Kong Fang and Ge Sheng immediately did so.

  After recognizing the master, Kong Fang quickly took a look at the internal space size of the storage ring, and then ignored it. This storage ring only had a few cubic meters of space, which was far from comparable to the boundary heart he obtained. The boundary heart was a huge space that exceeded thousands of kilometers in all directions.

  As for the things inside the storage ring, Kong Fang didn't even have the desire to check them out.

  "Every five days, I will sit in the preaching hall for a day to explain the methods of alchemy and cultivation to you. At that time, if you have any questions, you can ask me." Elder Qingfan smiled at Kong Fang and Ge Sheng, "In your daily life, if you have any problems, you can look for the four senior brothers. With their abilities, they should be able to help you."

  "Yes." Kong Fang and Ge Sheng replied respectfully.

  "Although we are all refining our instruments, which is instrument repair, the fundamental thing is still strength. Therefore, recently you should focus on condensing your divine soul first. After you have condensed your divine soul and opened up the Purple Mansion, you can then infuse the power of your divine soul into that purple-colored Soul Symbol. The Soul Symbol not only represents the identity of inner disciples but also accumulates contributions to the sect, exchanging for various treasures, arrays, and Daoist techniques all require Soul Symbols, so be sure to keep them well. As for the Fire Element Daoist technique 'Golden Flame Transformation'..."

  Saying this, Qing Fan elder couldn't help but look at Kong Fang, "You don't have the innate talent for Fire Lineage, so you can't cultivate the Fire Lineage technique. That's why I didn't give you the Golden Flame Avatar. However, as compensation, I will refine a pair of 'True Fire Rings' for you."

  Laryngitis

  Sun Hao, Yin Wanshui and Qu Han, who came in later, looked at Kong Fang with a mixture of surprise and envy, while Li Sen's gaze towards Kong Fang became even more resentful.

  "In the past, Elder valued Sun Hao highly, but now even you, a newly promoted disciple, are receiving such attention. And me? I was one of the first to enter Huoyun Hall, but since you two appeared, Elder has been ignoring me. All of this is because of you two; if it weren't for you and Sun Hao, all the benefits would have been mine. You two... deserve to die." Li Sen raged inwardly.

  "Thank you, Elder Xie." Kong Fang said respectfully. Although he didn't know what the "True Fire Ring" was, judging from Sun Hao and others' extremely surprised expressions, the "True Fire Ring" was obviously not an ordinary object, and Kong Fang's heart couldn't help but feel some anticipation.

  Gai Sheng, who was standing beside him, had initially been somewhat pleased to have obtained another Fire Way technique, thinking that this was a sign of Qing Fan's esteem for him. However, at this moment, Gai Sheng no longer felt any joy in his heart.
