Villain: Capture The Loli Sword Spirit At The Beginning

Tianhuo City.

The bustling market.

The noisy and chaotic cries of vendors are always the main melody here.

The haggling and bargaining back and forth, just like an earthly vegetable market.

If an ordinary person were to enter this place by mistake, they might feel a sense of familiarity.

This is usually the liveliest place in Tianhuo City, where many people trade various kinds of Tianhuo, as well as cultivation techniques, elixirs, and rare treasures...

And this liveliness reaches its peak when the Tianhuo Conference is about to begin.

The Tianhuo Conference originates from a "Fire Pool" in the center of Tianhuo City.

Countless Tianhuo in Tianhuo City are born from this Fire Pool.

Approximately every ten years, the Fire Pool gives birth to a large number of Tianhuo.

Sometimes, it even gives birth to divine fire!

The saints of Tianhuo City had a brilliant idea and decided to hold the Tianhuo Conference.

Every year, the winners can freely take three newly born flames from the Fire Pool.

If they are lucky enough to encounter three divine fires, the winners can also take them.

Anyway, the saints of Tianhuo City know very well that even if they obtain divine fire, it may be snatched away by other forces.

Moreover, the probability of divine fire appearing is extremely low, so it's better to be generous and give it away.

With the Tianhuo Conference and a large number of Tianhuo auctions, Tianhuo City has transformed from an ordinary city into a renowned force in the immortal realm. The saints of Tianhuo City have made a fortune from this.

Among the practitioners of the Path of Fire, the reputation of Tianhuo City is very loud, even louder than that of the Imperial Palace and the Ten Thousand Realms Palace.

In their hearts, only the Yan Clan can surpass Tianhuo City.

Lin Yuan and Bai Churou walked together in the market, casually looking at the surrounding stalls.

Some stalls had only one person sitting on the ground with a piece of cloth in front of them, on which some things were placed.

Some stalls were rough storefronts, with a wide variety of goods displayed on the shelves.

Some stalls were even more impressive, with a size that could rival three or four other storefronts. The goods were neatly arranged, and there was a faint fragrance in the air, making people feel relaxed and happy when walking among them.

"The Tianhuo here is of relatively poor quality," Lin Yuan said, looking at the surrounding Tianhuo with some regret.

After obtaining a large number of Tianhuo and divine fire from Gu Lingxiao at the auction, these Tianhuo in the market were not as helpful to him anymore.

What he needed now were high-quality Tianhuo.

Or even divine fire.

"Let's not look anymore, let's go sign up. The Tianhuo Conference will officially begin in three days," Lin Yuan couldn't help but shake his head.

In order to promote the development of the market, Tianhuo City deliberately set the registration location for the Tianhuo Conference in the market.

They were very clear about why these people came and how to get something from their hands.

"Okay," Bai Churou followed behind Lin Yuan.

In her eyes, these things really didn't catch her attention.

Soon, they arrived at the registration location.

Standing in front of them was a beautiful young girl.

She had a pleasant smile on her face, wearing a dark blue dress. There was a hint of laughter in her eyes, and her two black eyes blinked like black gems. Her long black hair danced as she shook her head, causing Lin Yuan's gaze to linger on her for a while.

"What's your name? Let me register for you," she said.

"Lin Yuan."

"Huh? You're Lin Yuan?" The girl looked up at Lin Yuan in surprise, staring at him for five or six seconds.

It wasn't until Bai Churou coughed softly that she snapped out of it.

"So you're Lin Yuan," the girl giggled, "I'm Ling Qing'er, you can call me Qing'er."

"Do you know me?"

"Of course I know. The disciple from Qingxi Sect came to propose marriage but was rejected. He became angry and started using vulgar and obscene language. Although my father drove him away and taught him a lesson, I was still unsatisfied. Later, I heard that he encountered you and you taught him a lesson, so I remembered your name."

Ling Qing'er smiled and looked at Lin Yuan.

Her favorite type was someone handsome and powerful, and Lin Yuan met both criteria.

In addition, Lin Yuan helped her teach a lesson to the young master of Qingxi Sect, so the more she looked at Lin Yuan, the happier she became.

"It was just a conflict of interests, not worth mentioning."

Lin Yuan waved his hand.

"This is the lady friend by Lin Gongzi's side, right? Would you like to introduce yourself?"

Ling Qing'er looked at Bai Churou.

At first glance, she was stunned by Bai Churou's appearance.

Her perfect looks and noble temperament made Ling Qing'er feel inferior.

But she quickly shook off that feeling.

"No need."

She didn't want to make a name for herself and had no interest in these heavenly fires.

"Alright." Ling Qing'er didn't insist and secretly handed Lin Yuan a jade slip, and transmitted her voice to both of them, "This is one of the stronger opponents in the Heavenly Fire Tournament. You should pay attention in advance."

Lin Yuan looked at Ling Qing'er in surprise.

Ling Qing'er didn't say anything, but playfully stuck out her tongue and winked at Lin Yuan.

After that, she acted as if nothing had happened and continued to register the participants.

"This is truly an unexpected joy."

"With this, it will be easier to take the lead."

Bai Churou nodded, her fondness for Ling Qing'er increasing.

"Churou, I plan to consolidate my current cultivation. I hope to obtain better heavenly fires when the heavenly fire in the fire pool appears."

"Okay, I'll accompany you."

The two of them disappeared into the market like a fairy couple.

Watching them, Ling Qing'er couldn't help but feel envious.

When would she be able to find a man who could conquer her?

...

On the other side of Tianhuo City, the fire pool.

Although it was called a pool, the size of the fire pool was comparable to a lake.

Countless low-quality flames boiled in this lake, like bubbling magma.

The temperature here was much hotter than usual.

Gu Lingxiao stood indifferently above the fire pool, his palm facing downwards, emitting a strong suction force. Countless thin flames entered Gu Lingxiao's body from the pool.

After a while, he opened his eyes.

"It's exactly as I expected. If I hadn't come here specifically to investigate, I'm afraid I wouldn't have noticed it."

Under the fire pool, a new divine fire was about to appear.

It would be a divine fire that had never appeared in the history of the Chaotic Immortal Realm!

According to Gu Lingxiao's judgment, this divine fire could at least rank in the top fifty on the Divine Fire List.

Undoubtedly, this divine fire was prepared for Lin Yuan in the plot.

If Gu Lingxiao hadn't found Lin Yuan, he probably wouldn't have known that there was an additional divine fire in this world.

"He truly is a good treasure hunter."

Gu Lingxiao couldn't help but sigh.

Then, with a light tap of his finger, two completely different forces entered the fire pool.

Let's temporarily place this divine fire on Lin Yuan.

But one thing was for sure.

His fire was not so easily obtained.

The two completely different forces entered the fire pool, seemingly not affecting the boiling flames in the slightest.

Gu Lingxiao's figure also disappeared in this sea of fire.
