Want Money, Not Dignity

Jie Wu looked at the Molten Flame Salamander swimming in the magma with disdain in his eyes.

"Just some mid-to-late stage first-tier Demon Beast."

Jie Se looked at its fellow disciple with disdain.

"Jie Wu is telling you not to act rashly, and to obey Jie Hui's commands in everything."

"Although the Molten Flame Salamander is only a first-tier Demon Beast, it lives in magma year-round, and its body is tempered by the high temperature of Lava, making it exceptionally tough and difficult to kill. Moreover, there are a great many Molten Flame Salamander, which appear in groups, and they are very vengeful. Once angered, they will not easily let it go."

Upon hearing this, Jie Wu looked bewildered, his eyes pleading for help as he looked at Jie Hui.

It seems they are asking Jie Hui if what Jie Se said is true.

Jie Hui shook his head helplessly, seemingly quite disappointed by Jie Wu's recklessness.

He cupped his hands in greeting to the Lei Clan cultivator and asked, "May I ask your name, benefactor?"

"Lei Yuanhua."

"Benefactor Lei, were you just using the <Thunder Escape Technique>?"

Lei Yuanhua nodded in agreement, "Exactly."

Jie Hui said, "The <Thunder Escape Technique> is incredibly swift and excels at maneuvering within a small area, making it perfect for the current situation. Let's cooperate. The three of us will distract the Molten Flame Salamander, while you take the opportunity to pluck two Fire-Scale Wood. Then, we'll split the Fire-Scale Wood equally, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Yuanhua did not reply, but instead appeared to be deep in thought.

Feng Qi, standing to the side, was getting anxious. If Lei Yuanhua and Jie Hui formed an alliance, he would have no chance at all.

He was skilled in Fire Element Technique Method, and this Fire-Scale Wood was especially important to him. It was an excellent material for crafting Spirit Artifact and even magical Law Treasure.

"Brother Lei, don't easily believe what that bald monk says. They are masters of sophistry. Once you obtain the Fire-Scale Wood, they will turn on you in an instant."

Lei Yuanhua wore a mocking expression.

"Brother Feng, you're quite concerned about my safety."

The three from Primordial Unity Temple also heard Feng Qi's words.

Jie Wu, his face contorted with rage, was about to strike Feng Qi in a humiliating manner.

Suddenly, he realized that he had acted rashly and ruined things.

So he stopped attacking Feng Qi and the other two.

Upon seeing this, Jie Hui shook his head.

He suddenly felt so tired.

This Jie Wu failing to act when one should, and acting recklessly when one shouldn't.

He took a step forward, his aura suddenly surged, and a vast and powerful pressure instantly enveloped half of the cave.

"The three benefactors of the Beast Taming Sect, Fire-Scale Wood has an affinity with Buddhism. It would be best if the three of you left on your own to avoid damaging the harmony between us."

Feng Qi's face was ashen; he was absolutely unwilling to give up the Fire-Scale Wood so easily.

He gave Leng Tianlu and the masked man beside him a look, signaling them to retreat first.

"You think you can scare me away with just a few words? You underestimate me far too much."

Before he could finish speaking...

He raised both hands and gestured towards the empty space on either side.

Two giant fire dragons, each ten feet long, slowly took shape.

If he encountered Jie Hui and his two companions elsewhere, Feng Qi knew he was no match for them and would have no choice but to flee.

But in this magma cave, his Fire Element Technique Method was even more powerful, and he believed he still had a fighting chance.

In the blink of an eye, two long dragons formed from raging flames appeared on either side of Feng Qi.

As the fire dragon appeared, the magma below seemed to be drawn up by some force, automatically rising and merging into the dragon's body.

The originally crimson dragon gradually deepened in color, becoming a dark, almost blackish red.

Scorching heat emanated from the dragon's body.

It was as if this space itself could not withstand the terrifying heat and began to twist and deform.

When Jie Wu saw that Feng Qi had actually made the first move, he could no longer remain calm.

"What can mere Fire Element Technique Method to me!"

"The Arhat Golden Body!"

Jie Wu suddenly transformed into a golden giant over ten feet tall.

He strode forward, charging towards Feng Qi.

Along the way, Jie Se, who didn't get along well with Jie Wu, surprisingly took the initiative to help Jie Wu when he saw this situation.

He summoned his Kasaya, which emitted golden light and protected Jie Wu's head.

"Awooo! Awooo!"

Two deafening roars erupted from the mouths of the two giant dragons.

The two giant dragons, like two torrents of fire, swept towards Jie Wu.

The two collided with a deafening roar.

The underground cave shook!

Flames soared into the sky!

Countless fiery rains splashed across the sky.

The lingering effects of the battle, accompanied by terrifying heat, swept outwards in all directions.

The Kasaya, as the first layer of protection on Jie Wu's body, is the primary defense.

It was struck by the immense force of the two fire dragons and engulfed by the intense heat.

The golden light on it instantly dimmed.

Next was the Jie Wu.

He felt as if he had been struck by two moving volcanoes.

The Arhat Golden Body was instantly shattered.

Its body size returned to its original size.

Its entire body was charred black, and it was swept away by the remaining force, heading into the lava.

Jie Se reacted quickly, unleashing a burst of spiritual energy to forcibly pull Jie Wu back from the lava.

Jie Wu landed An Ran.

Although his entire body was charred black, he was unharmed.

Although Feng Qi's Fire Element Technique Method was powerful, after shattering the Kasaya and breaking through the Arhat Golden Body, its remaining power was limited and could hardly cause fatal damage to Jie Wu.

However, it is truly remarkable that Feng Qi could gain the upper hand against two cultivators of the same realm.

A hint of worry flashed across Jie Hui's face.

The magma cave environment amplifies the power of Feng Qi's Fire Element Technique Method by an absurd degree.

However, his main practice of the Evil Buddha Way would be somewhat suppressed in this scorching land.

Even if the three of them joined forces, it would still take them some effort to defeat Feng Qi.

Meanwhile, Lei Yuanhua was also watching intently from the side.

If Jie Hui and the other two were to fight Feng Qi to the death, it's hard to guarantee that Lei Yuanhua wouldn't benefit from the situation.

Jie Hui's desire for the Fire Qilin Wood was not as strong as Feng Qi's. He was unwilling to waste a lot of time and spiritual energy on competing for the Fire Qilin Wood.

It was clear that Feng Qi was about to summon the fire dragon again.

Jie Hui quickly spoke up to stop him.

"Benefactor, we have no enmity between us, why must we fight to the death? Why don't we cooperate and join forces to take those two Fire Qilin Wood?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Qi wore a mocking expression and did not immediately agree to Jie Hui's suggestion.

Although those who cultivate immortality always put themselves first, hypocrites like Jie Hui are still rare.

Feng Qi truly dared not believe what the other party said.

When the three monks first entered the lava cave, they acted extremely aggressively, wanting to monopolize the Fire Qilin Wood.

After witnessing Lei Yuanhua's escape techniques, he immediately expressed his desire to form an alliance with Lei Yuanhua.

Now, having witnessed the power of the fire dragon, they are about to form an alliance with Feng Qi.

Opportunistic and fickle!

They were practically comparable to prostitutes in brothels.

Money over shame!

When your wallet is full, you're a king, an emperor, a Buddha.

They fawn over you.

If you're penniless, you're a beggar, a stray dog, a maggot.

Even a second glance is too much for my eyes.
