　　For high-level cultivators, condensing true fire is not a difficult thing, at most it is just a difference in grade and strength.
　　But the current Xu Chengling is just a child under ten years old, and is very likely to have no master’s inheritance.
“Sister, can you see the teacher of this Xu Chengling?”
After the amazement, Xiahou Qingyuan quickly asked Xiahou You beside him.
　　Regarding the inheritances of various sects and factions in the Shangqing cultivation world, and even some hidden sects and organizations, Xiahou You knows more than Xiahou Qingyuan.
　　”Sister, what’s wrong with you？”
　　Not hearing a reply for a long time, Xiahou Qingyuan felt a little strange and immediately turned his head curiously to look at Xiahou You, only to find that Xiahou You was in a daze.
“Second brother, this child may… have no apprenticeship.
　　Xiahou You stared at the spiritual mirror in front of her and muttered in surprise.
“No apprenticeship?” “!”
　　Although there was a vague guess in his heart, when this point was really confirmed, Xiahou Qingyuan was still very surprised.
　　Second brother, look.” Xiahou You pointed at Xu Chengling in the spiritual mirror. “When Xu Chengling condensed the true fire, he didn’t rely on the true yuan pre-stored in his body, but the true yuan converted from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Western Zhou Dynasty. If he had a master, he would never do this.
Xiahou Qingyuan looked in the direction pointed by Xiahou You in the spiritual mirror and found that there were indeed transparent spiritual auras of heaven and earth at this moment entwined around Xu Chengling’s body like a cyclone.
　　Indeed.” Xiahou Qingyuan nodded in agreement. “Wild cultivators and loose cultivators without a master, because they don’t have excellent qi-refining mental methods, can only rely on a large amount of absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to supplement the true yuan consumed by Cast ing spells.
　　Regarding this point, Xiahou Qingyuan also knew.
　　However, no matter how talented a loose cultivator is, before obtaining an excellent qi-refining mental method, it is impossible to accumulate true yuan and condense the true fire in this way.
But this Xu Chengling can do it, so there is only one possibility.
　　When Xiahou You said this, a look of excitement suddenly flashed in a pair of beautiful eyes.
　　What possibility？
　　Xiahou Qingyuan looked at Xiahou You curiously.
Although he guessed a little in his heart because he was not good at in this way, he was not sure.
　　This Xu Chengling is an extremely rare celestial spirit bone, and it is a fire-attribute strange bone among the celestial spirit bones, which can directly control the fire-attribute strange bone of the innate true fire！
　　Xiahou You’s voice trembled slightly when she said this.
　　As we all know, the true fire that cultivators can condense is the acquired true fire, while the innate true fire can only be born and nurtured by heaven and earth.
　　And for this innate true fire, even if ordinary people are lucky enough to encounter it, they cannot control it. Only cultivators with the fire-attribute strange bone of the celestial spirit bone level have the opportunity to control the innate true fire.
　　“The fire-attribute strange bone of the celestial spirit bone level, isn’t this, isn’t this the legendary celestial fire strange bone？”
　　Xiahou Qingyuan also said in shock at this time.
　　Although his understanding of various spiritual bones is far inferior to that of Xiahou You, he still knows about the celestial fire strange bone. After all, in any era, disciples with the celestial fire strange bone are the objects scrambled for by all the great immortal sects.
　　“The celestial fire strange bone has been born, and now Zhenwu Tian and Qingxuan Sect are going to be lively again.”
　　Xiahou You murmured expressionlessly.
　　Among the secret scrolls she has read, every time the celestial fire strange bone appears, it will almost inevitably lead to a bloodbath.
　　As for the reason, the scramble of each major sect for the disciples with the celestial fire strange bone is only one of them. The most crucial reason is still the assassination by Jiuyuan using every means possible.
　　“This time, our Sanhuang Daogong will probably also take action. I had a chance encounter with Dugu Qingxiao before. Let’s see if I can ask the palace master to let me go to Qingxuan Sect to negotiate with him.”
　　Xiahou Qingyuan said with a frown.
　　“I hope Qingxuan Sect can see the situation clearly. With their sect’s strength, they won’t be able to protect the Heavenly Fire Strange Bone.”
　　Xiahou　You　nodded.
　　In her opinion, in this Upper Clear Realm, only a few secluded sects such as the Three Sovereigns Dao Palace could protect the Heavenly Fire Strange Bone from the assassinations of the Nine Abysses.
　　……
　　“I actually misjudged. This kid actually has the Heavenly Fire Strange Bone！”
　　In the military tent on the ruins of the Great Liang Imperial City, after seeing Xu Chengling condense the True Fire, Fairy Lingyue was very surprised.
　　Previously, she had only seen Xu Chengling learn the Finger of Flame and didn’t know that he had already been able to condense True Fire, so she had only speculated that he had the Heavenly Spirit Bone.
　　Xu Taiping’s heart trembled when he heard this, and he thought to himself：
　　“Every time this kind of spiritual bone is born, it seems to attract a bloody storm, right？”
　　Among the files he has read, the Heavenly Fire Alien Bone is often described as an existence equivalent to the arrival of a baleful star, so he has a deep impression.
　　“That’s right. Owning the Heavenly Fire Alien Bone is equivalent to having the qualification to control the Innate True Fire. The combat power of the sect that owns it will inevitably double.”
　　“More importantly, the Heavenly Fire Alien Bone is the natural nemesis of the Nine Abyss Demonic Cultivators. Once the Innate True Fire is refined, even the Heavenly Calamity Demon Seed is no match for it.”
　　Fairy Lingyue explained to Xu Taiping.
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping’s expression as he looked at Xu Chengling became solemn.
　　In his opinion, the appearance of this kind of spiritual bone might not necessarily be a good thing for either Zhenwu Tian or Qingxuan Sect.
　　“Sister Lingyue, could it be that the bad luck on my body has already begun to affect Qingxuan Sect and the people around me？”
　　Xu Taiping transmitted his voice to Fairy Lingyue with a hint of self-blame.
　　Regarding this question, Fairy Lingyue was unable to give an immediate answer.
　　Whether it was this great fire in Daliang Kingdom or the Heavenly Fire Strange Bone that awakened in this great fire, it was very difficult to encounter under normal circumstances.
So when she heard Xu Taiping attribute this to the bad luck on his body, Fairy Lingyue also had no way to refute.
　　“Boom！ ……”
　　And at this moment, after the ball of true fire in Xu Chengling’s palm took shape, he slapped out towards that Lvqiu.
　　In an instant, amidst bursts of shrill screams, the ball of true fire that flew out from Xu Chengling’s palm gradually burned Lvqiu’s body to ashes.
　　For a while, both inside and outside the spirit mirror were deathly silent.
　　Whether it was the death of Lvqiu in Wangyou Valley or the suddenly emerged Heavenly Fire Strange Bone, it caught all the onlookers off guard.
　　However, Xu Chengling was not aware of this.
　　With his great vengeance avenged, his tears uncontrollably burst out of his eyes, and no matter how much he wiped with his hands, he couldn’t completely wipe them clean.
　　“Don’t wipe it anymore. Crying isn’t shameful.”
　　Xu Taiping walked up to Xu Chengling and stood beside him.
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Chengling no longer restrained himself and hugged Xu Taiping tightly, starting to wail loudly.
　　After crying for almost enough, Xu Chengling, with red and swollen eyes, looked up at Xu Taiping. His eyes full of fear and unease, his nose twitched a few times, and then he said with a crying voice：
　　“Grand-uncle, mother is gone, and father is also gone. I have no home anymore.”
　　Hearing this, Xu Taiping’s heart trembled.
Xu Chengling’s expression at this moment was very similar to that of him when he found out that his grandfather had passed away back then.
Live well and don’t let down your father’s expectations of you.
　　Xu Taiping looked over at Xu Chengling’s gaze, and while speaking, he raised his hand and gently patted him on the shoulder.
　　And it was this inadvertent touch. The curse mark on the palm of Xu Taiping’s left hand suddenly lit up, and at the same time, the golden lotus in his left eye suddenly bloomed.
　　At the same time, a soul mark entered his mind.
　　“The Lotus Eye actually used the power of deduction by itself. Could it be that it saw some bad luck on Xu Chengling again？”
　　After Perceived the abnormality of the Lotus Eye, Xu Taiping inadvertently frowned and said in his heart with some surprise.
　　Saying that, while comforting Xu Chengling a few more words, he opened that soul mark.
　　In an instant, a series of pictures flashed through his mind like a fleeting horse.
　　After Xu Taiping quickly scanned the pictures in the soul mark, his face suddenly became very ugly.
　　”Taiping, what did you see again？”
　　After Fairy Lingyue noticed the change in Xu Taiping’s mood, she immediately asked him.
　　”Sister Lingyue, I’m afraid Xu Chengling will have a great disaster next, and this disaster will also involve the Three Emperors Taoist Palace and the Qingxuan Sect.”
　　Xu Taiping first briefly responded to Fairy Lingyue, and then quickly described the scene predicted by the Lotus Eye Curse Mark to her in detail.
　　In the scene predicted by the Lotus Eye, because of the special spiritual bone on his body, Xu Chengling will be scrambled for by various hidden sects next.
Finally, after communicating with the Qingxuan Sect, the Three Emperors Taoist Palace took away Xu Chengling and promised that the palace master would personally teach him the cultivation method.
　　At the same time, the Three Emperors Taoist Palace also promised to invite a disciple of the Qingxuan Sect to go to the Taoist Palace Secret Realm for training every year to thank the Qingxuan Sect.
　　This was originally a good thing for both Xu Chengling and the Qingxuan Sect.
　　But the problem is, on the way that the disciples of the Three Sovereigns Dao Palace such as Xiahou Qingyuan and Xiahou You escorted Xu Chengling to the Three Sovereigns Dao Palace, a group of people including his senior sister Zhao Linglong were forced to enter the Dry Stone Sea due to an assassination, and in the end, none of them came out.
　　“If Liantong’s deduction is correct, all you can do, Taiping, is just like when you avoided the Seven Kills Tribulation in the Blood Rain Forest back then, go with them to the Three Sovereigns Dao Palace, and when the disaster comes, think of a way to help him survive the tribulation.”
　　Fairy Lingyue suggested to Xu Taiping.
　　“First see if the people from the Three Sovereigns Dao Palace will really send someone to pick up Xu Chengling as Liantong foresaw.”
　　“If this is really the case, I will find a way to go with them secretly. Even if I can’t help him survive the tribulation, I will at least bring him and his senior sister back.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded secretly.
　　Actually, there are materials in the Dry Stone Sea that he needs to break through to the Transcendent Realm. Even without this matter, he would have gone there once.
　　“Taiping！”
　　At this time, Huang Que’s voice suddenly rang in Xu Taiping’s ear.
　　“What’s the matter, Big Brother Huang Que？”
　　Xu Taiping immediately came back to his senses and looked at Huang Que with a nonchalant look.
　　“Taiping, the Nine Mansions have initially determined that Xu Chengling should be the legendary Heavenly Fire Heterogeneous Bone. Let’s take him to Qingxuan immediately to avoid any accidents.”
　　Before the Yellow Sparrow could speak, Du Gu Qingxiao on the side took the lead in explaining to Xu Taiping.
　　This scene was almost exactly the same as the scene that Lotus Pupil had deduced.
　　”Then　let’s　go.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded and took the hand of Xu Chengling, who was looking at them curiously.
“Three hundred eighteen, three hundred eighteen!”
　　But just as the few people were about to leave, the little princess in the tent behind, who had been counting stones, suddenly raised the stone in her hand high and shouted in horror.
　　Huang Que and Du Gu Qingxiao were already used to the little princess’s strange behavior.
　　”Taiping, you and Qingxiao take Xiao Chengling and leave first. I’ll take care of this place.”
　　The Yellow Sparrow signaled Xu Taiping and Du Gu Qingxiao to leave first.
　　However, just as he spoke, he saw the little princess of the Great Liang Kingdom suddenly “bang bang bang” and ran to Xu Taiping, then hugged Xu Taiping’s thigh and looked up at Xu Taiping eagerly, saying：
　　”Uncle, it’s three hundred and eighteen, it’s three hundred and eighteen.”
“Three hundred and eighteen?”
　　Xu Taiping was stunned when he heard this and didn’t know what the “three hundred and eighteen” in the little princess’s mouth meant.
　　But soon, he recalled the curse seal that Lotus Pupil had given him.
　　So he reached out and pressed the little princess’s head.
　　In an instant, the scene of the little princess suffering from misfortune quickly appeared in Xu Taiping’s mind.
　　Different from the deductive power of Lotus Eye, the curse mark on Xu Taiping’s left hand can only see the misfortune scenes that the person being touched has experienced.
　　And the misfortune scene that Xu Taiping saw on the little princess at this moment can simply be described as “purgatory”.
　　At the same time, he also understood why the little princess kept counting the small stones.
Because the three arsonists from Wangyou Valley would make her put a stone on the ground every time they torture a member of the royal family to count how many people they had killed.
The “three hundred and eighteen” is the number of royal family members finally torture by the three arsonists from Wangyou Valley.
　　”Woo… wuwuwu…”
　　At this time, the little princess hugging Xu Taiping’s thigh seemed to want to say something, but just couldn’t say a complete sentence.
　　”Hmm！”
　　The little princess with extremely eager eyes suddenly took out a dirty piece of candy from her arms and held it up with both hands and handed it to Xu Taiping.
　　Xu Taiping took the candy and looked at it carefully, and then tentatively asked the little princess, “Do you want me to avenge you？”
　　Upon hearing this, the little princess’s eyes widened, and tears, like a broken embankment, kept flowing down from her eye sockets.
　　”I’ll take this piece of candy. The remaining two people, I will find them and, like today, execute them in front of the cultivators of the Five Regions.”
　　Xu Taiping accepted that piece of candy and seriously promised the little princess.
　　Upon hearing this, the little princess with a face full of tears showed a very clean smile.
　　And Xu Taiping, while recalling the appearances of the remaining two disciples of the Forgetting Sorrow Valley in his mind, muttered in his heart：
　　“Liang Chengshan, Lu Xibai, since you are also in the Dry Stone Sea, I don’t have to make another trip to the Forgetting Sorrow Valley.”
