The Fire God Makes Bricks

Huang Feiyu had been frequenting Dan Peak these days, popping up at Dan Peak every other day, looking more like a native of Dan Peak than Chasing Wind.

He was either following Qin Ran around helping set up formations at the bottom of the lake, or pulling Li Shiyin to practice swordsmanship, or teaching Long Qiqi to sense qi... He looked very busy.

However, even before he transformed into fire, this person's purposefulness was already very strong, only concealed by his high EQ at the time, not too obvious. Now that he has transformed into fire, with a irritable temper, no longer hiding his intentions, it becomes easy for people to see through.

He came to Dan Peak with a certain purpose, and it can be determined that it wasn't because of the five-tailed fox demon newly joined Dan Peak...

"So where did he get the news and know that I have the Immortal Spirit Scroll?" Lying on a lounger by the lake, Qin Ran took a sip of awakening tea, looking at Huang Feiyu battling with Li Shiyin midair, and couldn't quite figure it out, "Could it be that he is also very close with the disciples of Lingnan Immortal Sect?"

In midair, Li Shiyin was battling with the fire guy Huang Feiyu.

Li Shiyin displayed her lightness skill, constantly attacking around the fire man Huang Feiyu.

Her control of sword qi was already quite proficient, able to unleash and pull back smoothly according to her will;

Her body method was also agile enough, looking like seeking flowers in the mist, like an antelope hanging its horns, like an immortal descending to the mundane world, allowing her to dodge Huang Feiyu's attacks at subtle pivotal moments, and suddenly appear from another direction during her nimble maneuvers.

With Huang Feiyu intentionally feeding moves and intentionally taking hits, the two fought vigorously with back and forth exchanges, quite marvelous to behold.

Li Shiyin's sword qi was comprehended bit by bit by herself; but her body method was passed down by Bai Ruoxi during this time.

This body method was called Immortal Seeking the Way, created by a celestial realm cultivator when seeking the Dao.

This was a combat body method, with the characteristic of vast and boundless, elusive and unpredictable, as if the cultivator saw the Dao that had no size, no direction, no beginning nor end, infinite and boundless, and the bewilderment in his heart. Immortal Seeking the Way, the Way was right there, yet couldn't be found no matter what.

In short, this was an immortal art, containing rhyme of the Dao.

At this time, Li Shiyin was still in the foundation building stage, not even displaying one ten thousandth of the subtleties when executing this body method. But relying on this body method alone, she could still fight above her level, constantly attacking around Huang Feiyu, while Huang Feiyu couldn't even touch her clothes.

"Immortal Seeking the Way?" Looking at Li Shiyin midair, let alone Huang Feiyu, even Qin Ran, a senior watcher that was a whole realm above, couldn't determine Li Shiyin's exact position, "Seeking the Way?"

This reminded him that Su Changqing had told him many times, wishing to become good friends on the path of seeking the Dao with him...

"What virtue or ability do I have?" He lamented in his heart, "I only want to have a place to rest in this world, what Dao could I possibly have the qualification for?"

Although the body method was exquisite, it consumed too much spiritual power. After battling for a while, Li Shiyin soon exhausted her spiritual power and had to stop.

"Junior sister Li's combat strength, senior brother has rarely seen in his life!" Huang Feiyu said, "In Dao Sword Sect... No, the entire North Chu, I'm afraid there is no one at the foundation building stage who can fight junior sister."

"Senior brother, don't joke around. I'm not that amazing." Li Shiyin waved her hand and said.

"It's good that you have this understanding..." Qin Ran advised, "This world is vast and boundless. Those with extraordinary talents and abundant resources, who knows how many. There are not only those stronger than you at the foundation building stage, but many.

"Not to mention those beyond you - Gold Core, Yuan Ying, Integration, and even higher realms, those are innumerable."

Li Shiyin was unhappy hearing this. She clearly was very powerful, even senior brother Jian Feng complimented her, yet master had to pour cold water on her, not giving her any face.

She huffed with pursed lips and nodded, "Yes, master."

Seeing her expression, Qin Ran knew she was unconvinced. So he asked her, "Can you beat Bai Ruoxi at the same realm?"

Li Shiyin thought carefully. Bai Ruoxi's talent wasn't too far from hers, but Bai Ruoxi cultivated immortal arts, and was also at the Gold Core realm, with richer combat experience compared to her.

So she and Bai Ruoxi...

"I can't win." She answered honestly.

"You can't even beat Bai Ruoxi, let alone Su Changqing." Qin Ran said, "Su Changqing is a true genius... And there are countless ones like Bai Ruoxi in Lingnan Immortal Sect."

Huang Feiyu glanced at Qin Ran. He felt like this was meant for him.

Li Shiyin's unhappiness dissipated a little, realizing she was indeed quite mediocre.

"But..." She still said, "I'm also very powerful, right?"

Qin Ran smiled and shook his head, not berating her further.

Li Shiyin put away her sword and went back to her room for water. Huang Feiyu floated in front of Qin Ran. Looking at Li Shiyin's back, he said to Qin Ran, "Junior sister really is very powerful."

Qin Ran neither agreed nor disagreed, only saying, "She obtained some fortuitous encounters."

War Spirit Art and Immortal Seeking the Way could both be considered fortuitous encounters that came out of thin air... Li Shiyin's foundations were solid to begin with. Her foundational skills and life sword were both top quality, but these were just the standard for ordinary disciples of major sects. It was precisely War Spirit Art and Immortal Seeking the Way that allowed Li Shiyin to transcend the realm of ordinary disciples, much stronger than her peers.

"Do you have anything else today?" Qin Ran suddenly asked Huang Feiyu.

"Hmm?" Huang Feiyu was startled, and quickly answered, "Don't think so?"

"If you're not busy..." Qin Ran pointed at the mound of soil piled into a small hill at the edge of the lake pit, and said, "I plan to build a lake dam and a pavilion in the middle of the lake with this pile of mud. Can you help me and burn this pile of mud into fire bricks?"

"Burn, fire bricks?" Huang Feiyu felt something was off.

"Mm..." Qin Ran nodded, put down his cup, and walked to the edge of the mud pile. He said to Huang Feiyu, "Come over, I'll explain in detail."

After Huang Feiyu came over, Qin Ran drew water from the river to mix with the mud. He controlled the water, stirred it thoroughly, then molded it into an ordinary brick sized lump to show Huang Feiyu, and said,

"This is the brick I want, can you burn it?"

He tossed the brick to Huang Feiyu, "Fire."

Huang Feiyu then controlled a flame to grab the mud brick, suspending the brick midair as it was incinerated by intense flames.

" Higher temperature..." Qin Ran looked at the changes in the brick and reminded.

Huang Feiyu raised the temperature.

"Temperature is too high."

Huang Feiyu lowered the temperature.

Soon, a palm-sized fire brick was fired.

Qin Ran pointed at the brick and asked Huang Feiyu, "This is the brick I want, can you make it?"

Huang Feiyu looked at the mountainous pile of mud, then at the brick in his hand, and finally back at Qin Ran. He couldn't believe that after all the trouble of transforming into a fire lion, transforming into pure fire element, becoming the fire god, it was to make fire bricks for Dan Peak?

He was quite hesitant.

"If you can't, I'll just use earth fire myself..." Qin Ran said, "Just more tedious, slower, less efficient."

"I can do it!" Huang Feiyu nodded.
