If they were as badly defeated as they were at last year's meeting, there would certainly be no more power to speak.
The reason why Soong Yuanyuan was so anxious to get Qin Fann and the rest to return was so that they could stabilize the situation. After all, even though the Great Elders were powerful, none of the other disciples had any outstanding disciples to support them.
The entire Flame Refinement Clan had been made into a state of panic by the people. Every person was worried that they, too, would encounter danger, and every so often, they would close their doors and not come out. Thus, they had actually already started to fear them from the bottom of their hearts, and even had a feeling that they had lost without a battle.
Qin Fann and the others knew that even if they went back now, with their weak spot among the elite disciples of the upper echelons of Flame Refinement Clan, they would have no way to be convincing. They could only wait until they completed this mission, obtained the Pill Heart of Spirit Soul s, then they would be able to go into seclusion in half a year.
Originally, Qin Fann and the rest only wanted to obtain Pill Heart of Spirit Soul s to quickly increase their strength and have outstanding performances in the upcoming Meeting of Heroes. However, from the looks of it, they had no choice but to have this kind of performance.
"Miss Qing Xuan, this time, we need to hurry up and head for the Spirit Clan. Moreover, I have a presumptuous request, I hope that we can enter the Spirit Clan at that time and speak up for your clansmen."
Qin Fann himself knew that the situation was critical, and didn't want to hide anything from Qing Xuan, so he said directly: "We are originally disciples from the Flame God Sect, and now, a few dangers have appeared in our bloodline. We really want to go back and help, however, we don't have any way to temporarily raise our strength.
At the end, Qin Fann seemed to hesitate. After all, asking directly was always a bit sudden.
"You mean, you want to obtain my Spirit Clan's Pill Heart of Spirit Soul?"
Qing Xuan was extremely intelligent. Although she didn't know what exactly happened to the Flame Refinement Clan that Qin Fann spoke of, she could tell from Qin Fann's tone that he definitely wanted to obtain something from the Spirit Clan.
And the thing that could raise one's cultivation level in a short period of time, was naturally the Pill Heart of Spirit Soul!
"..." I am speaking of this Pill Heart of Spirit Soul. "
Since his purpose was already figured out, Qin Fann no longer had any intention of hiding anything.
Now, they only had to wait for Qing Xuan to nod. If she did, then the chances of success would be very high, but if Qing Xuan disagrees, or if it was more difficult, then it would be a little difficult for them to obtain the Pill Heart of Spirit Soul.
After all, that Pill Heart of Spirit Soul was something that many cultivator yearned for unparalleled, and it was even the clan foundation treasure of the Spirit Clan. It could be said that it was a priceless treasure, and would only produce a few of them after dozens of years.
Ming Yu also looked at Qing Xuan, who was leaning in front of him.
Even now, he didn't know what to say. However, looking at Qing Xuan's expression, it seemed that she didn't have the intention of making things difficult for him.
Qing Xuan turned her big eyes, then shook her head and said: "Actually, you can save my life, but if you want this Pill Heart of Spirit Soul, we will not reject your request. Furthermore, as long as I help you speak good words, obtaining the acknowledgement of our clansmen will not be difficult. "
Everyone could hear the confidence in Qing Xuan's voice. It seemed that Qing Xuan's status within the Spirit Clan wasn't low.
I heard that she is the little princess of Spirit Clan, and seems to be a very favoured little princess. This way, compared to losing Qing Xuan, even if I have to take out a few Pill Heart of Spirit Soul s, Spirit Clan should be more willing.
Thinking up to here, everyone relaxed a little and felt that this matter was most likely safe. Previously, Soong Yuanyuan was still worried that Spirit Clan was not willing to take out Pill Heart of Spirit Soul s, but now, it seemed like this problem had been solved easily.
However, the two words that came out of Qing Xuan's mouth made everyone's heart pound.
"However …"
Qing Xuan helplessly curled her lips and said: "Wanting to obtain the Pill Heart of Spirit Soul is not something that my Spirit Clan can control."
"What does that mean?"
Ming Yu, who was standing behind Qing Xuan, subconsciously asked. He had always been extremely attentive towards the Pill Heart of Spirit Soul, and had been listening attentively to Qing Xuan's explanation since the beginning. In the end, Ming Yu's mood couldn't help but fall due to Qing Xuan's words.
Lili came back to her senses and smiled at Ming Yu. "Brother Ming Yu, there's an eight-thousand-year-old ancient tree in our Spirit Clan, and it's also our guardian god. It's very spiritual in itself."
Every few years, a Natural Heart would gather inside the ancient tree and with the blessing of will, we become the Pill Heart of Spirit Soul that you speak of. The Natural Heart in the ancient tree, on the other hand, isn't something that we take out ourselves, but rather, is formed by the ancient tree ourselves.
When everyone heard this, they were a little puzzled. Ming Yu also frowned: "Ancient tree, naturally formed. Could it be that it will have its own will and will to send out that Natural Heart?"
According to Qing Xuan, that ancient tree was quite rare. After living for eight thousand years, it seemed to have reached the acme of perfection. It could actually use its own consciousness.
"Hee hee, that's right, I gave it to you myself."
Qing Xuan nodded her head in approval, and said: "The ancient tree itself is intelligent, and it is extremely strong. Only the people it chooses can obtain the Natural Heart, so, you have to obtain the approval of the ancient tree, then you will be able to obtain the Natural Heart, and if you obtain the Natural Heart, our Spirit Clan is naturally willing to help you accomplish the blessing of the will, and make it into a true Pill Heart of Spirit Soul."
Hearing this, everyone came to a realization.
Originally, when they went into the Spirit Clan this time, they could basically ask the ancient trees for their approval. But as for whether the ancient trees really could approve of them, that was uncertain.
"Phew …"
Honestly speaking, he was a bit nervous when he heard the news. He felt that it was very likely that he would be judged, but as for whether he could gain the ancient tree's acknowledgement, that would depend entirely on his good fortune.
Contrary to Ming Yu's mood, Qin Fann, Lu Jian and Wang Han had more confidence.
They had already reached the fourth level of Core Controlling Stage and had gone through hundreds of battles, so they possessed an extremely strong life force. There was a high chance that the ancient trees would approve of them.
"You don't have to worry, your fighting capabilities are so great, you can definitely get the recognition of the ancient trees. If your talent, strength, and other things add up to be very good, the quality of the Natural Heart you get will also be better."
"Oh?"
Qin Fann raised his eyebrows, hearing all this, his heart unconsciously started beating faster. He felt that he wanted to rush into the Spirit Clan and immediately obtain the ancient tree's acknowledgement, then see what kind of Natural Heart he would get.
Lu Jian and Wang Han on the side could only smile bitterly. If the three of them could get the Natural Heart, then Qin Fann's Natural Heart would be the best.
However, who would have thought that Qin Fann was the subordinate of Master, Eldest Brother. With their abilities here, they were naturally convinced.
Very quickly, everyone talked about some matters regarding Spirit Clan, then continued on their journey towards Spirit Clan.
Under Qing Xuan's lead, everyone was very clear about the route they were going to take. However, according to Qing Xuan's estimation, it would take a few days for them to reach the Spirit Clan.
During these few days, everyone was rushing on their journey without stopping. For cultivators, not sleeping for a few days was not a problem, even if they were tired, they could just stop the birds to rest and feed them.
In the next few days, Ming Yu also got to know Qing Xuan very well, and they chatted quite well.
Hei Ji was the same, of course, she was not chatting with Ming Yu, but with Qin Fann. She had already blended in with Qin Fann, Lu Jian, and Wang Han, and her tone of voice was getting more and more intimate. Along the way, they chatted and laughed, and it seemed that their relationship was getting better and better.
Over the next three days, Ming Yu would occasionally talk to Qin Fann and the others, or inform Lu Jian and Wang Han during dinner. However, he never spoke to Hei Ji again, not even via telepathy.
It was as if the two of them were strangers to begin with.
In everyone's eyes, no one felt the cold war between Ming Yu and Hei Ji.
These past few days, they had not communicated verbally, but because of the connection between the Ancient Jade, how could the two of them not feel each other's existence?
Time passed in a flash, and soon, five days had passed.
Qin Fann hugged Hei Ji gently as they traversed over the mountains. Under the setting sun of the day, he led the way towards the endless wilderness.
"We'll be there soon. Brother Ming Yu, quick, look, it's the green forest in front. We'll be there soon!"
Qing Xuan turned around and smiled sweetly at Ming Yu.
After these few days of interaction, Qing Xuan had unknowingly become more familiar with Ming Yu. She leaned on Ming Yu's chest without any hesitation and looked at Ming Yu with a gaze that no longer had any fear or awkwardness. On the contrary, it gave people the feeling that it was a pair of large eyes that could speak, flashing with clear starlight.
"Okay, then let's go faster and sit still."
Ming Yu, who was riding the Dragon-Sparrow of Black Wing, became even faster. Qin Fann and the rest also flew forward without any hesitation.
Soon, a patch of green forest appeared before everyone's eyes.
It was a forest that was hidden deep within the valley. However, after they passed through the mountain ridge, they felt as if they were looking at a whole new world. Originally, the forest was green, but on this side, it was a fresh green.
Countless trees that reached into the sky grew orderly here, giving the place a simple and grand appearance. Many buildings were built within the forests, all of them carved from exquisite wood. There were even many buildings built directly within the trees.
In this endless green area, one could see the people who lived in this place from where the towering trees did not hide themselves. Their clothes were all very simple, only covering the most important parts of their bodies with simple clothing, almost all the men revealed their shoulders, and the women were basically all wearing navel-revealing clothing. The materials of their clothes were all made from precious plants and leaves, giving off a feeling of returning to nature.
"We've finally arrived. That's great!"
Qing Xuan raised her hands high in the air. She had previously thought that the outside world was wonderful, but now she felt that returning home was the true happiness.
"Swish!"
At this moment, in the nearby emerald green forest, an extremely quick shadow was rushing over. The first thing it did was to attack Ming Yu.
"Be careful!"
