Nine Flames Pagoda
Shi Yue smiled faintly. "Senior Ouyang, I'm here as a guest. As for business, I've left it to my subordinate, Shi Mu. Just send someone to Immortal Grass Market Town to discuss the details."
"No problem. I'll send word right away. Little Friend Shi, you and your companions can stay at our Nine Flames Sect for now. My nephew, Shangguan Yan, will accompany you around the sect."
Shi Yue smiled and nodded. His expression turned serious. "Senior Ouyang, I have an unreasonable request. I hope you'll grant it."
"Little Friend Shi, say whatever's on your mind. There's no need to stand on ceremony."
"This junior would like five wisps of Nine Flames True Flame. We can discuss the price. What do you think, Senior Ouyang?" Shi Yue asked sincerely.
The corner of Ouyang Ming's mouth twitched. Five wisps of Nine Flames True Flame? You certainly had the nerve to ask.
Shangguan Yan had already reported Shi Yue's circumstances to Ouyang Ming. Shi Yue possessed a spirit flame, so it hadn't surprised Ouyang Ming that he wanted Nine Flames True Flame. But Shi Yue's appetite was too great—he wanted five wisps all at once, and the Nine Flames Sect couldn't provide that much.
Shi Yue had come to attend the Pill Assembly and had just agreed to provide the Nine Flames Sect with ten kinds of rare Fire Attribute Spirit Herbs. It would be hard to justify refusing his request.
Ouyang Ming looked troubled. After a moment's thought, he said, "Little Friend Shi, Nine Flames True Flame is the legacy of our Nine Flames Sect. We can't easily give it to outsiders. Of course, you're no ordinary person. How about this? I'll take you to the Earth Fire Pool and give you half a quarter of an hour.
