Sun Lie opened his mouth slightly upon hearing this, then shook his head after a long pause: "Very few."

"So, the true value of the Magma Immortal Palace isn't in the mechanism technique inheritance, but in the foundational cultivation methods of the Three Gates Three Dantians?"

Fei Si nodded: "The City Lord is far-sighted; how can we casually speculate?"

"Among the hundred arts of cultivation, mechanism techniques have always been a niche within a niche, from ancient times to the present. What is there to pursue?"

"Such foundational cultivation methods of the three sects are the most valuable treasures!"

Sun Lie nodded, sighing: "So that's how it is."

Meng Chong clenched his fists, his fighting spirit ignited: "I must obtain the three sect cultivation methods and cultivate the upper, middle, and lower dantians simultaneously!"

"I can't wait any longer. Boss Sun, quickly tell me, how can I use Raging Thunder Rush to help disperse my cultivation?"

Sun Lie chuckled: "It's very simple."

"After this battle, you should be able to actively control Raging Thunder Rush."

"At that time, when you are dispersing your cultivation, simultaneously activate Raging Thunder Rush, and it will accelerate the process."

"The talent of Raging Thunder Rush has extremely wide applications, not just for dispersing cultivation. It can also accelerate the process when circulating cultivation to accumulate magic power."

"In intense battles, it can help you increase the power of thunder and restrain opponents with Yin attributes."

"Ordinary cultivators need to develop divine abilities step by step from their innate magic techniques. You possess the immortal talent of Raging Thunder Rush, which is equivalent to a divine ability seed. Growing steadily will allow it to transform into a divine ability!"

"There are other applications as well; you can slowly experience and explore them in the future."

"However, be aware that this talent consumes your three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit. You must never abuse it excessively."

Meng Chong said "Oh" and cupped his fists in thanks.

Sun Lie then looked at Fei Si: "That Han Ming came to probe me repeatedly before, fixated on the Phoenix Soul Blood Incense Pill."

"Previously, I was wary of her being a member of the Soul Devouring Sect and tolerated it privately, not pursuing it too much."

"This time, she actually tried to take my life. I am now a mortal enemy with her!"

"I added a tasteless medicinal scent to those six Phoenix Soul Blood Incense Pills. I only need to refine a bottle of pills, and after you take them, you will be able to smell that medicinal scent."

"Following the medicinal scent, you will be able to track the Phoenix Soul Blood Incense Pills! Even if they have been consumed by a cultivator, as long as they haven't been detected or deciphered, you can still smell them within a few months."

Although Sun Lie was rough and uninhibited, having traveled the cultivation world for so many years, he wasn't someone to be trifled with.

In fact, how could someone who could set up a scheme to stimulate Meng Chong's nature not have strategy?

Fei Si nodded, changing his previous attitude, and cupped his hands: "As expected of a Grandmaster of Alchemy. It was my misunderstanding before; please forgive me."

For him, a dignified Golden Core, to bow to a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator in such a manner actually made Sun Lie regard him highly.

Sun Lie was also an old hand. He nodded slightly, no longer mocking Fei Si, but instead praised him with deep meaning: "The Fire Persimmon City Lord has a good subordinate."

After dividing the spoils, Sun Lingtong bid farewell to the Tassel-Haired Wanderer, Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo's voice was hoarse, and his expression was indifferent: "Boss Sun, thank you for your help this time. I will remember this favor."

Sun Lingtong giggled: "Hey, little brother, will you reconsider my previous suggestion?"

"Join the Unempty Gate?" Ning Zhuo shook his head. "I'm not interested."

In Ning Zhuo's view, he was from the Ning Family, a righteous path. He was plotting against the Magma Immortal Palace. Why would he abandon his good life to join the demonic path?

Although strictly speaking, the Unempty Gate wasn't a demonic sect, it was definitely a wicked faction.

Sun Lingtong also shook her head. "But you're just suited to join our sect."

These words made Ning Zhuo's heart stir slightly.

He thought of his speculation in the Magma Immortal Palace. He likely possessed a hidden talent, and this talent was superior to Early Wisdom.

Ning Zhuo probed, "I heard that the Unempty Gate likes to recruit cultivation seeds with hand-related talents. For example, Fragrance-Stealing Jade-Snatching Hand, Void Displacement Hand, Flowing Light Weaving Shadow Hand, Seven Orifices Hand, Cloud Piercing Hand, and so on."

"Could it be that I have this kind of talent, which is why Boss Sun has always valued me?"

Sun Lingtong shook her head. "I'm not an elder who receives disciples in the sect, how could I tell?"

"I think your nature is inherently that of a demonic path person."

Ning Zhuo's tone sank. "Don't make such jokes in the future."

Sun Lingtong widened her eyes and exclaimed, "Don't you believe me? My eyes are the best at judging people!"

"Enough," Ning Zhuo interrupted.

Sun Lingtong chuckled. "Alright. How should we deal with these stolen pills?"

Ning Zhuo said, "Capturing Han Ming alive is my real goal. These pills are too hot to handle, let's get rid of them."

"I don't believe that Sun Lie, after being probed by Han Ming multiple times, didn't tamper with the pills."

Sun Lingtong gave a thumbs-up. "Brother, you're as cautious as ever. However, isn't it a bit of a waste to get rid of all of them?"

"With the methods of our Unempty Gate, as long as you give me some time to test them, even the most hidden tricks can be detected."

"After all, that Sun Lie is only at the peak of Foundation Establishment."

Ning Zhuo shook his head. "I strongly advise against you doing this."

"This time, we unexpectedly ran into Meng Chong. He is the grandson of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Our actions could very likely be interpreted as a plot against Meng Chong."

"I'm afraid Fei Si has already started investigating us."

"Time is tight, you don't have time for slow testing. It's better to be careful. Get rid of all these pills immediately!" Ning Zhuo emphasized again.

Sun Lingtong patted her chest and nodded. "You're right, I still want to stay in Fire Persimmon Immortal City."

"But how should we deal with them?"

Ning Zhuo snorted. "Isn't that simple? Just throw them into the Fire Persimmon Forest."

Sun Lingtong was startled, then her eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands in praise. "Wonderful, wonderful, truly wonderful!"

After saying goodbye to Sun Lingtong, Ning Zhuo took the spoils of war and returned to the underground base.

In the dark underground cell.

A basin of cold water was splashed onto Han Ming's face.

Han Ming lowered her head, her eyes tightly shut, and didn't move.

The Tassel-Haired Wanderer Ning Zhuo let out a hoarse, cold laugh: "Stop pretending, Han Ming. You regained consciousness half a cup of tea ago."

Han Ming gritted her teeth, suddenly opened her eyes wide, and her killing intent and hatred were completely undisguised: "You actually dared to double-cross us!"

"I am a disciple of the Soul Devouring Sect. If you kill me, think about the consequences!"

Ning Zhuo sighed inwardly: He had wanted to hide himself, work hard in secret, and conquer the Magma Immortal Palace, and had never thought of offending a major demonic sect.

But there was nothing he could do.

In his current situation, he could only push forward with a thick skin. Taking a step back, no, even being slightly slower, would lead to an abyss of ten thousand fathoms and eternal damnation.

Even a cornered rabbit will bite, let alone a human.

There was no need to express the helplessness in his heart.

Ning Zhuo looked at Han Ming, staring at her quietly.

Han Ming felt a chill in her heart from Ning Zhuo's gaze.

She gradually misunderstood, her expression softened, and she put on a helpless, weak posture of having to humble herself for survival: "Alright, I admit defeat this time. Let me go, and I promise to do anything you ask."
