Nine Luminaries Fire-Controlling True Scripture
"I appreciate your kindness, Extreme Yin, but there's no need for you to come as a guest," said Guyun. "Young friend Bai is right; I did indeed pry into your privacy, and I am in the wrong."
Guyun flipped his hand and took out a Storage Bag, then tossed it over.
"Here are 100,000 Low-grade Immortal Spirit Stones as compensation. I wonder if Miss Bai and Extreme Yin would be willing to forgive and forget?"
Bai Jinge took the Storage Bag and then stuffed it into Song Wen's hands without hesitation.
"Extreme Yin, you lack Cultivation Resources, so don't be polite with her."
Song Wen hesitated, then looked towards the distant Guyun Cloud.
"My Lord Xuan, how dare I accept your gift?"
Despite this, Song Wen held the Storage Bag tightly in his hand, showing no intention of returning it.
Guyun said, "Young friend, please accept this. Also, I have already been exposed and it is no longer appropriate for me to stay here. I will return to report. Young friend Bai, Extreme Yin, Elder Hu, farewell."
After saying that, she turned to fly away.
"Wait!" Bai Jinge suddenly shouted, "Are there any of your accomplices hiding nearby? Call them out and leave together."
"Miss Bai, please rest assured, it's just me, there's no one else. However, after I return to the sect and report everything, I don't know whether the sect leader will send anyone else."
Guyun's voice echoed in the air, but his figure had already vanished without a trace.
"She offended me, and you're letting it go with a mere 100,000 Low-grade Immortal Spirit Stones? That's too good for her," Bai Jinge said in a low voice.
Song Wen, however, frowned deeply.
"Jinge, this matter is rather strange. With Guyun's strength, if she wanted to hide, we wouldn't have been able to find her at all. Why is it that she revealed herself as soon as you shouted?"
"Naturally, she wouldn't dare offend me," Bai Jinge said.
"But if she doesn't show herself, how will you know who's spying on us? If you don't even know who's spying on you, how can you talk about revenge?" Song Wen said.
"It's not difficult to find out who's secretly spying on us. There are only so many Profound Immortal Yuxiao in the sect. I just need to go back to the sect and investigate their recent movements to roughly pinpoint them," Bai Jinge said.
"But by showing herself, she has failed to fulfill your father's orders. If she goes back to report like this, isn't she worried about being punished by your father?" Song Wen asked.
Bai Jinge said, "My father sent him to monitor you. In the end, this is just a family matter. Even if she doesn't do her job well, my father won't take her life for it. At most, he'll give her a minor punishment. But if she really offends you and me too much, I am my father's only blood relative, and you are his future son-in-law. If the two of us make things difficult for her in the future, she will find it hard to move an inch, and she might even lose her life."
Song Wen still felt that Bai Jinge's explanation was somewhat far-fetched, but Bai Jinge did not give him a chance to ask more questions and pulled him to fly towards the Heaven and Earth Treasure Hall.
"Leave her alone. Now that she's gone, we don't have to worry about being spied on anymore."
Song Wen had no choice but to be led by her, and he also restarted the "Grand Void Sealing Heaven Restriction Formation" in the process.
The two entered the side room of the main hall, Bai Jinge pounced on them again.
After a moment's hesitation, Song Wen began to agree.
Anyway, once Guyun returns, he will report everything he has seen to Bai Zhengli, so there is no need for him to pretend.
Furthermore, according to Guyun, she was the only one monitoring the situation. With her leaving, Song Wen could actually take the opportunity to escape, change his name, and completely sever his ties with Bai Jinge and Bai Zhengli.
But as things stand, with Bai Jinge's protection and favoritism, Bai Zhengli wouldn't dare kill him even if he was unwilling. Bai Jinge had returned to the sect before to collect the True Fire Fusion Secret Method and highly poisonous spiritual objects for him. It's impossible that Bai Zhengli was completely unaware of this and did nothing about it.
Therefore, Song Wen didn't need to rush to escape.
After Bai Jinge advanced to the Lingxu Dao Immortal, his physical body and endurance were greatly enhanced, unlike before when he could easily be defeated.
Ten days later.
She lay contentedly in Song Wen.
"Extreme Yin, from now on I want to be with you every moment, I never want to be separated from you again. How about... you come back to the sect with me? Or, I can stay in Bamboo-Hidden Ravine from now on?"
"Jinge, I don't want to be separated from you for even a moment, but we must not let this delay our cultivation. The only important thing for us now is to gain your father's approval. Therefore, it's best if we continue as before. You cultivate at the Purple Star Immortal Sect, and I will stay in Bamboo-Hidden Ravine, only meeting when we have free time," Song Wen said.
"Fine, whatever you say." Bai Jinge reluctantly.
Song Wen immediately changed the subject.
"Oh, by the way, I haven't checked those treasures you brought me yet."
After saying that, Song Wen took out the Storage Bag that Bai Jinge had given him earlier.
Bai Jinge's attention was diverted, and she became very interested.
She took the Storage Bag from Song Wen and then poured out all the treasures inside.
Jade boxes, jade bottles, and other items were scattered across the bed.
"I've found all the highly poisonous spiritual items you requested. One of them is a venom called 'Fire Toad Venom,' which our sect doesn't have. I asked around at every shop in Central Mu City and finally learned that the manager of one shop had some in private possession, which is how I managed to exchange some for it."
Bai Jinge spoke in a light tone, her brows revealing an undisguised arrogance and pride, just like a little girl demanding praise.
"My Jinge, you're really amazing." Song Wen said with a doting tone.
"That's it." Bai Jinge raised her head high.
Then, she took out a Jade Slip from a pile of jade boxes.
"This 'Nine Luminaries Fire-Controlling True Scripture' is a supreme method of fire control, a secret transmission of the Purple Star Immortal Sect. It contains both methods for fusing True Fire and techniques for controlling fire, which I imagine is exactly what you urgently need."
Song Wen took the Jade Slip, probed it with his Divine Sense, and quickly scanned the contents recorded within.
Immediately, a glint flashed in his eyes.
According to the Cultivation Method, a practitioner of this Cultivation Method can control up to nine types of True Fire simultaneously, or fuse them into one.
Each time a True Fire is fused, the power of that True Fire increases dramatically; the extent of the increase depends on the original power of the fused True Fire.
However, this Cultivation Method has a limitation: the True Fire used for fusion must have compatible attributes—simply put, yang fire can only fuse with yang fire, and yin fire can only fuse with yin fire.
But this is exactly what Song Wen meant.
The Vermilion Bird in his cultivation of the Six-Aspects Prison-Suppressing Body can only control Yang-attribute spiritual fire. The two True Fire he currently possesses— the Great Sun Golden Flame and the Azure Firmament True Fire —are also Yang-attribute spiritual fires.
"Jinge, this 'Nine Luminaries Fire-Controlling True Scripture' is of great use to me. However, it is a closely guarded secret of the Purple Star Immortal Sect. If you give it to me rashly, won't it cause you trouble?"
Bai Jinge waved his hand dismissively, showing no concern.
"What trouble could there be! Even if someone from the sect investigates, let them go to my father. Just say it was my father who spread the rumor. It's his fault for disapproving of our relationship and for making things difficult for you at every turn!"
