Chapter 22 Senior Uncle, Will You Scold Me If I Tell the Truth?
The magical artifact called "Evil-Repelling" located in the very center of the main hall of the Refining Peak not only has the ability to identify the magical artifacts refined by the disciples of the peak, but also has the special ability to provide early warnings.
If anything detrimental to the Weapon Refining Peak happens within the main hall of the Weapon Refining Peak, [Evil-Repelling] will begin to issue a warning.
Such as the present...
The huge pillar of light that was originally surrounded by golden characters suddenly turned red at this moment, and the golden characters on it also disappeared abruptly.
The vast hall was instantly enveloped in red, and all the disciples looked on in bewilderment at the sudden change in the treasure that guarded the peak.
"What's wrong?"
"I heard that unless there are unusual phenomena on the peak, this magic weapon will only... Can you smell anything?"
"It looks like something burned."
"Smoke! Smoke is drifting over from the treasure vault!"
……
As the pungent smell of burning filled the air, everyone saw red smoke drifting into the main hall through the corridor.
While blank expressions appeared on their faces, many people had already set off towards the treasure pavilion.
But as the group rushed toward the treasure pavilion, they immediately felt an inexplicable heat before they even reached the corner.
But rather than directly feeling the heat of the flames, it was more accurate to say that the spiritual energy within the body sensed that heat.
The senior brother who was in the lead and held a fan with a wisp of spiritual fire suddenly looked down at the spiritual fire in the fan. He could clearly feel that the spiritual fire in the fan seemed to be afraid.
Besides him, many of his fellow disciples also inexplicably felt unwell.
And it was at that very moment, just as you rounded the corner...
Almost simultaneously, all the disciples who had rushed over stood still, their faces turning to one of horror.
Those eyes were completely purple.
A flickering purple flame!
A vast, purple sea of fire was fully revealed to everyone, with each flame dancing in every corner of the treasure pavilion.
Only the plaque of the treasure pavilion remained unscathed amidst the purple flames, while the main gate, walls, and tiles were all completely consumed by the purple flames.
Because the disciples of the Refining Peak cultivate the art of refining weapons, their techniques are naturally closer to fire, making them extremely sensitive to flames.
Spiritual Fire!
Those Qi Refining disciples with strength above the fifth or sixth level could immediately sense that the purple flame was a spiritual flame.
But because it was spirit fire, it surprised them!
But it was precisely because it was a spirit fire that it shocked them!
because...
What level of spiritual fire could devour the side hall of the treasure pavilion? Even if this is just the treasure pavilion of a Qi Refining disciple, it is by no means something that an ordinary flame could devour.
Especially...
Where did this spiritual fire come from? And why did they just set it on fire right here?
Who has the nerve to do this!
As they were thinking this, the disciples looked at the two elders who were standing in mid-air.
He then looked at the three people behind the elder: Ruoyun, Su Buxing, and Zhiluyao.
Knowing that Lu Yao was safe and sound, after all, when the purple flames were out of control, her senior brother immediately rushed out with her in his arms.
But looking at the sea of fire that was burning and growing ever stronger, Zhi Luyao bit her lip and then let go, glancing at her senior brother beside her.
Su Buxing's expression was solemn. To put it simply, he knew he had caused trouble.
Ah!
Now that we've caused trouble, we need to figure out how to resolve it.
Can...
Su Buxing's mind was filled with thoughts of how many magical treasures were inside, as his Uncle Qi had told him.
How could someone cause such a huge disaster...?
Su Buxing now felt the terror of those words.
What does Xiaonongfeng have to sell?
Su Buxing had already started planning this matter in his mind.
Ruoyun was right next to them. Although she was right next to Zhiluyao and Su Buxing, her gaze was fixed on the purple sea of fire from beginning to end. Her eyes, which had turned purple due to the fire, were filled with astonishment and horror.
Too pure...
This flame is too pure!
But how did it come about...?
Thinking of this, Ruoyun frowned and looked at Su Buxing beside her. Junior Brother Su did have a spiritual fire, but...
No way~~
"Senior Brother." Uncle Qi glanced back at the disciples who were coming over, then looked at Uncle Lan beside him.
Master Lan stared intently at the flames before him. "Although it hasn't reached the level of Heart Fire, it's still at the peak of the Refined Fire realm. And the purity of this flame... it's quite potent."
After muttering this, Uncle Lan raised his hand and made a downward pressing motion.
moment!
The purple sea of fire was extinguished in an instant.
Master Lan turned around and slowly landed.
Uncle Qi also raised his hand, but as easily as picking a flower or leaf, a purple flame came to his palm.
Uncle Qi glanced at it, and as he clenched his fist, the flames dissipated. A smile appeared in his carefree eyes as he looked at the traces of his spiritual energy being burned by the purple flames. It was indeed quite impressive.
The moment the two turned and landed, behind them...
boom!
Amidst the roar, charred dust filled the sky.
The enormous treasure pavilion, built during the Qi Refining stage, collapsed with a deafening roar. On the ruins, charred marks were visible to the naked eye.
Only the door frame and the plaque above it remained intact.
Seeing this scene, all the disciples and followers subconsciously swallowed hard, not daring to utter a sound, especially as they watched the magical treasures inside being burned to ashes.
No one dared to speak anymore.
Although it's just a treasure pavilion for those at the Qi Refining stage, this is no small matter.
and...
What on earth happened?
With the two elders here, how could someone have set fire to the treasure pavilion?
However, some astute disciples noticed that Senior Uncle Lan and Senior Uncle Qi were looking at the man and woman beside Senior Sister Ruoyun.
Especially that effeminate-looking junior brother.
Why is Uncle Qi looking at him like that...?
Could he have done it?
But isn't his cultivation only at the seventh level?
Su Buxing looked at the rather unfriendly elder and Uncle Qi in front of him, pursed his lips, and knew that they were about to arrive.
So he stood up.
But before they could even speak...
When Zhi Luyao came to Su Buxing's side and stood next to him, he immediately clasped his hands in greeting to the two of them: "Senior Uncle Lan, Senior Uncle Qi, my senior brother and I did not do it on purpose."
Master Lan looked at Zhi Luyao: "So it really was you who did it?"
「!?」
Upon hearing this, all the disciples immediately turned their gazes toward Su Buxing and Zhi Luyao.
Some people in the crowd had already recognized Zhi Luyao, so Su Buxing's identity was naturally guessed at once.
His face remained etched with shock as he stared at the pair of senior and junior disciples...
With your strength at the sixth or seventh level, how could you unleash something that could burn down the spiritual fire of the treasure pavilion? Are you kidding me?!
If you say it was done by Senior Sister Ruoyun, it's more believable.
But looking at the expressions on Senior Uncle Lan's and Senior Uncle Qi's faces...
Everyone stared at the pair of senior and junior disciples, holding their breath and speechless.
Zhi Luyao naturally knew he had committed a terrible disaster.
Looking at Senior Uncle Lan and Senior Uncle Qi, these two were the Golden Core elders who brought her from Luo'an, the capital of Great Xia, to the sect. They had become quite familiar with each other along the way, and it was better for her to plead for them than for her senior brother to speak up.
Seeing their expressions, Zhi Luyao spoke again: "I..."
But before he could speak, Zhi Luyao saw Su Buxing standing in front of him, and even saw his senior brother glance at him.
When her senior brother looked at her with those captivating eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly, as if to say, "I'll take over."
Su Buxing glanced at his junior sister before turning to Senior Uncle Lan and Senior Uncle Qi: "Senior Uncle, Senior Uncle, I'm willing to compensate, but could you please write an IOU?"
“…………”
Upon hearing this, everyone around fell silent.
Many people's expressions suddenly turned strange. What kind of thing is this, issuing IOUs?
Ruoyun hesitated, wondering what this Junior Brother Su was saying. Was this something that could be settled with just an IOU?
Thinking this, Ruoyun was surprised at how Junior Brother Su had managed to do it. After all, although she knew he had a spiritual fire, she was truly shocked that his spiritual fire was at such a high level of mastery.
Right now, Ruoyun looked at Senior Uncle Lan and thought of pleading for mercy.
However, Uncle Lan looked at Su Buxing and said, "You two were given the opportunity to choose magical treasures, so why did you let the treasure pavilion catch fire?"
Both Master Lan and Master Qi found this strange; it was indeed odd that the treasure pavilion could catch fire.
Su Buxing opened his mouth slightly, but after thinking about it, he realized that things were already like this, so he had to tell the truth. What else could he do? So he looked at his senior uncle Lan and said, "Senior uncle, if I say that I'm using spiritual fire to look for high-grade magic treasures, will you scold me...?"
