Old Ancestor Huoyun

In the spacious, brightly lit hall, Burning Flame Valley had shown Xiao Zhen every courtesy, with Valley Master Tang Zhen personally receiving him.

"Hahaha, Brother Xiao Zhen, you truly are young and accomplished. Come to think of it, we really are fated—our names both end with the character 'Zhen.'"

Xiao Zhen smiled and nodded. This Valley Master Tang was also a forthright man, but he wondered whether the man could maintain his current attitude once he revealed his purpose.

Still, the Pill Tower's reputation was truly impressive. Merely being an honorary elder with no real authority was enough to make all of Burning Flame Valley treat him with courtesy.

Xiao Zhen said, "Valley Master Tang, let us speak plainly. I came here this time to request something from Burning Flame Valley."

Tang Zhen stroked his beard, a glint flashing deep within his old eyes. As long as this young man's request was not excessive, agreeing to it would not be a problem.

Such a young eighth-tier alchemist had every chance of rising even higher in the future. Perhaps Burning Flame Valley might someday have to shamelessly come knocking to ask him for pills.

"I wonder what you desire, brother? Just say it. This old brother will certainly do his utmost to satisfy you."

Xiao Zhen said seriously, "What I seek is your sect's ultimate art... the Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Flame!"

The smile on Tang Zhen's aged face stiffened. Without even thinking, he refused, "That is absolutely impossible. The Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Flame is Burning Flame Valley's untransmitted secret. Brother Xiao Zhen, you should choose another condition!"

Xiao Zhen had long expected this outcome, but he still had another move prepared.

"Valley Master Tang, if possible, I would like to meet your sect's Grand Elder."
