Five Wheel Li Fire Method

"There's a person inside."

Lu Heng's answer was so calm that Han Yue picked up the Cold Soul Jade and examined it from every angle for quite a while, wondering if she had misheard him.

"A person inside?"

"More precisely, a remnant soul."

Lu Heng served himself a bowl of soup and blew on it.

"I found him in the Magma World beneath the tower. He was a Dou Zun expert from several centuries ago. His body was accidentally destroyed, and his soul had been trapped down there ever since."

Xiao Yi Xian peeked out from behind her book.

Qing Lin froze as well, nearly dropping the plate in her hands.

Han Yue set down the Cold Soul Jade and took half a step back.

"You went underground... and picked up a Dou Zun?"

"He has a name." Lu Heng took a sip of soup. "Skyfire Venerable."

The courtyard fell silent for several breaths.

Zi Yan was the first to recover. She leaned over the stone table and tossed the piece of white jade lightly in her palm.

"There's really someone in there? Why can't I see him?"

"A soul body. If he's hiding, naturally you can't see him with the naked eye."

Zi Yan held the Cold Soul Jade to her ear and listened, then gave it another shake.

"Zi Yan." Lu Heng swiftly snatched the jade back. "Don't shake it. The old gentleman inside just escaped a near-death state."

Zi Yan stuck out her tongue.

Han Yue sat across from him. Her silver-white hair was pressed against her shoulders by the evening breeze, and her voice became more subdued.

"You went down there alone. What did you encounter?"

Lu Heng briefly recounted what had happened.
