1061: Chapter 1061: Fire Essence Iron 1061: Chapter 1061: Fire Essence Iron “A draw?
Heh…”
Fang Bai noticed that when Hong Qitian spoke, his gaze flickered, clearly indicating that those few words of showing weakness weren’t coming from his heart.
The corners of Fang Bai’s mouth twitched slightly, revealing a mocking smile.
“You co at with killing intent, chasing like a madman, and you expect to believe you just want to make peace?”
Of course, Hong Qitian didn’t actually intend to show weakness to Fang Bai.
He simply wasn’t confident he could defeat Fang Bai and wanted to stabilize the situation until he could return to Purple Fla City.
There, he planned to secretly coordinate with a few powerful friends to deal with Fang Bai.
“Brother Bai jokes.
In truth, I chased you here just to find a secluded place to discuss so matters with you…”
Despite Fang Bai’s mockery, Hong Qitian’s expression didn’t change; he put on a full-faced smile and said, “Without reservation, Brother Bai, my na is Hong Qitian, an Elder of Tribute of the Purple Fla Sect.
Today I heard that our Purple Fla City had been graced by a Pill Master quite skilled in alchemy, so I couldn’t help but co over to see…
Haha, those harsh words before were just a little joke between us, Brother Bai.
You shouldn’t take them seriously…”
Fang Bai crossed his arms over his chest, watching Hong Qitian’s poor act with a smile but not believing a word he said.
“So, Elder Hong isn’t planning to make ‘roll out’ of Purple Fla City anymore?”
Fang Bai replied with a mocking tone after Hong Qitian had finished speaking.
Hong Qitian let out an awkward laugh, saying, “Just jokes…
Just jokes…
There are over a million martial artists in Purple Fla City, but Pill Masters and Artifact Refiners are extrely rare.
Personally, I very much welco Pill Masters like Brother Bai to co and do business in Purple Fla City.
Your reputation has already spread throughout Purple Fla City, and I believe that soon enough, our Sect Master of the Purple Fla Sect will personally co to the Martial Artists Trading Market to invite Brother Bai…”
“Sect Master Zu Tiangang of the Purple Fla Sect?”
Fang Bai slightly furrowed his brow.
“What does he want with ?”
The Purple Fla Sect was the foremost powerful sect in Thousand Lakes Country, and its Sect Master, Zu Tiangang, was the most powerful individual in the country, having achieved Vast Level Perfection.
When the martial artists of Thousand Lakes Country ntioned Zu Tiangang, they always respectfully called him “Sect Master Zu” or “Ancestor Zu” with great reverence.
However, Fang Bai didn’t just call him by his na but also referred to him as “he” without any hint of respect.
It was extrely arrogant and if any disciples of the Purple Fla Sect were to hear it, they would certainly be enraged.
Hong Qitian was secretly pleased, thinking that upon his return to the Purple Fla Sect, he could use this incident as leverage.
Although Sect Master Zu Tiangang was desperately in need of talents and treated Alchemists and Artifact Refiners courteously, he wouldn’t allow soone who showed no respect to enter the Purple Fla Sect.
As long as Fang Bai didn’t get involved with the Purple Fla Sect, then Hong Qitian had many ways to deal with him, to the point of driving him out of Purple Fla City, or even erasing him from this world.
“Brother Bai is skilled in the art of alchemy, so naturally our Ancestor Sect Master invites you to beco an Elder of Tribute.
Brother Bai surely knows that our Purple Fla Sect is the strongest sect in Thousand Lakes Country and also one of the third-rank sects in the True Martial Realm.
If Brother Bai joined the Purple Fla Sect, you would certainly be treated with great courtesy and receive generous compensation.
However…”
Here, Hong Qitian changed his tune, “However, Brother Bai, you’re quite young, and if you were to beco an Elder of Tribute, I’m afraid so disciples in the Purple Fla Sect might not take kindly to it.
Therefore, I worry that if you were to enter the Purple Fla Sect, so disciples might treat you with hostility…”
“Have I ever said I wanted to join the Purple Fla Sect?”
Fang Bai dismissed Hong Qitian’s obvious provocation with a disdainful glance and chuckled lightly, “A re third-grade sect can hardly excite .
So, I have absolutely no interest in joining the Purple Fla Sect!”
“Kid, you’re quite arrogant!
But the more arrogant you are, the worse your end will be!”
Hong Qitian was pleased again, thinking that once he returned to the Purple Fla Sect, as long as he recounted Fang Bai’s words to the Sect Master and the other disciples, not only would the Sect Master feel annoyed, but the other disciples would also be riled up.
Then, without needing to lift a finger himself, other disciples from the Purple Fla Sect would seek out Fang Bai to make trouble for him, making it impossible for Fang Bai to set foot in Purple Fla City.
“The Purple Fla Sect is the number one sect in Thousand Lakes Country, with nurous disciples and strong prowess.
It also controls the vast majority of the country’s cultivation resources, and many martial artists take pride in joining the Purple Fla Sect.
If Brother Bai, you reject the invitation from Ancestor Sect Master, he will definitely be displeased.
And if Ancestor Sect Master is unhappy, you will have a tough ti in the Purple Fla Sect!
So, I advise Brother Bai to be sensible and agree to join the Purple Fla Sect if the Ancestor Sect Master invites you!”
Hong Qitian continued, seemingly giving advice to Fang Bai, but in reality, he saw Fang Bai’s arrogance and intentionally tried to provoke Fang Bai’s rebellious spirit.
Fang Bai chuckled unconcernedly, “I can earn cultivation resources myself!
As for whether your Ancestor Sect Master is happy or not, what does that have to do with ?
I refine pills and artifacts for people in the Martial Artists Trading Market, without offending or provoking anyone.
If soone cos looking for trouble, these fists of mine won’t agree!”
With a smile that was not quite a smile, he said to Hong Qitian, “Elder Hong, are we going to fight or not?
If we are fighting, I’ll be happy to oblige; if not, I’m heading back to Purple Fla City!”
Hong Qitian thought that the arrogant words Fang Bai had just said would be enough to land him in deep trouble, and that there would be disciples from the Purple Fla Sect to handle him, so why would he personally spar with him?
He quickly said, “It was just a joke, Brother Bai, don’t take it to heart!
I have so matters to attend to and must take my leave first!
Farewell!
Farewell!”
With that, he turned and left, his figure flashing rapidly, disappearing into a grove on the north side of Fire Lake in the blink of an eye.
Fang Bai extended his Divine Sense to survey the surrounding area, seeing that Hong Qitian had gone far and no one was approaching, he turned around to face the Fire Lake before him.
The lake water was like fire, boiling tumultuously with waves of intense heat.
Several withered leaves were swept up by the wind and drifted above the Fire Lake before gently falling.
Less than ten feet above the water’s surface, they turned into wisps of smoke and vanished, indicating the extre temperature being emitted from the lake.
Fang Bai’s Divine Sense spread out, perating the water, to find that the lake was extrely deep and the deeper it went, the hotter the water beca.
At three hundred ters deep, the temperature was so terrifying that even a Vast Level Martial Artist could not bear it and would not dare to dive further.
“Huh?
I didn’t expect to find high-grade Fire Essence Iron in the True Martial Realm!
This is indeed quite rare!”
When Fang Bai’s Divine Sense reached four hundred ters below the lake, he finally saw the bottom.
There lay a millstone-sized piece of Fire Essence Iron, nestled in the mud, emitting a wildly hot aura.
The color of the entire lake was dyed a reddish hue by that piece of Fire Essence Iron.
Moreover, the temperature of the lake water around the Fire Essence Iron was even more alarmingly high, such that even a Vast Level Perfection Martial Artist, if not born with a fire-attribute body attuned to fire, could not get close to the Fire Essence Iron.
