As the golden-backed demon mantis evolved in a deep sleep and purified its bloodline, Xie Duanyang's strength was inevitably compromised.

Facing the old mage, the most you can do is protect yourself.

If you consider that the opponent is sitting in the formation, you can use the power of the formation, but the situation is really not good for you.

But since the mages of the Wildfire Department cannot truly control this formation, his safety has undoubtedly improved a lot.

Realizing this, Xie Duanyang was in a good mood, put down the stone tablets, and began to exchange greetings with the magicians in the formation who had finished adjusting their breaths.

Naturally, they would take the opportunity to inquire about Xie Duanyang's origins and want to know his relationship with the old master.

Fortunately, Xie Duanyang had been in Mulan Grassland for some time and had some understanding of the boundary cultivation situation here, so he tried to pass it off with half-truths and half-truths, but instead took the opportunity to find out a lot about the Wildfire Department.

Of course, it is impossible for these magicians to keep all the details, and it is difficult to say whether the details are true or false.

It's just that even if they deliberately conceal it, they are still fabricating it based on facts and will inevitably reveal part of the truth.

"Fellow Daoist Qu, your wine is good, but it's just not strong enough.

Come, come, let you try our unique golden flame roasting..."

After tasting his Baihua Mead, a bearded French man took out a wine flask from his storage bag with an unconvinced expression, poured himself a glass and handed it over.

Glancing at the red wine with gold in it, Xie Duanyang swung the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

I didn't feel anything at first, but after it entered my abdomen, it felt like it was being cut by fire, almost scalding my intestines and stomach, and when I opened my mouth, it was about to spit out a ball of flames.

Xie Duanyang remained calm, just secretly running the "Metal Gold Technique" to remove every trace of the fire and refine it into pure spiritual power.

The body feels like soaking in a hot spring or facing the warm sun. It feels so warm that it feels so good.

"Good wine."

Xie Duanyang breathed out the smell of alcohol and praised.

What he said was not a lie. After drinking such a cup of golden flames and refining the energy, the magic power in his body was actually tempered to an insignificant degree.

For him, who is a vigorous and concise monk who has been practicing Jiejie Dan for a long time, it is simply unimaginable. At least it saves him more than ten days of meditation and breath adjustment.

This wine is clearly a truly high-quality spiritual wine. It is not something that ordinary foundation-building monks can enjoy easily, and only people who have formed pills can regard it as ordinary.

Just...

This wine tempers mana, and the effect is only noticeable for the first sip. If you drink it later, although it will also have the effect, it will have to be accumulated over time and subtly.

"Brother Qu is awesome and deserves my glass of wine!"

The bearded Master raised his thumbs and praised sincerely.

Affected by this ground fire, it is difficult to grow ordinary rice within a hundred miles of the wildfire department, but some fire-type spiritual plants are growing well.

Jin Yan Shao's wine is made from several kinds of spirit fruit and spirit rice. Although the materials are not particularly precious, the important thing is that they borrowed the earth fire.

The earth fire here is closely integrated with the totem spirit that has been enshrined by the Wild Fire Department for hundreds of years. Its power is not inferior to that of ordinary alchemy monks, and it also has the intention of invading and wreaking havoc.

Even though they are magicians who have been immersed in this since childhood, they cannot drink too much.

Drinking regularly every day can slightly improve your physical strength, physical strength, and even your talent in spiritual arts.

But if you drink more than one cup at a time, you must meditate and refine it to prevent the fire from invading the body and causing harm to the body.

Xie Duanyang was able to drink a cup of golden flames without changing his expression, which shows his accomplishments in the fire technique.

Although he was brought here as the only alchemy master of the Wild Fire Department, and these magicians seemed inconvenient to object and say anything, it did not mean that they would obediently agree and warmly welcome Xie Duanyang.

Golden Flame Burning is actually a small test.

After drinking this glass of wine, Xie Duanyang could clearly sense that the atmosphere in the palace was somewhat harmonious.

Even the big man in red robe, who was full of arrogance inside, nodded to himself and forced out a smile.

Taking this opportunity, Xie Duanyang generously asked the seven people about their understanding of this formation, and even brought out some materials, talismans, and spirit stones, and held a small trade fair with them.

Except for the fact that the red-robed man's cultivation status is higher than that of others, and he has long ago exchanged all his wealth for spiritual elixirs to assist in forming pills, he has nothing to gain.

The remaining seven people more or less traded some useful things with Xie Duanyang. After the scene, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

"The smelting technique of your department is indeed exquisite, it is the only one that Qu has seen in his life..."

Holding a short spear with one hand, pouring mana into it, he tried to throw it. Seeing the dazzling aura rising from it, Xie Duanyang praised it.

This is a lie.

From his perspective, the weapon refining skills of the Wild Fire Department are still far behind those of the Divine Weapon Sect.

With just a quick glance, Xie Duanyang had several plans in mind to optimize the short spear in his hand, enough to increase its power and service life by another ten or two percent.

However, thanks to the spirit of the totem, the earth fire used by the magicians is stronger than most of the Qi training and foundation building skills of the Divine Weapon Sect.

Even the magical weapons refined through sacrifice are taken advantage of, which can make up for the shortcomings in skills.

Moreover, the Wild Fire Department comes from the Sky Fire Department, and they are indeed somewhat unique in their smelting and forging techniques.

Most of the mages from the Wild Fire Department are involved in the art of weapon refining. When they heard Xie Duanyang's comments, they just scratched their itch and couldn't help but participate in the discussion.

Although it did not reveal the real secret techniques and processes, it was enough for him to deduce a lot of key information.

"I didn't expect that fellow Taoist Qu would be so proficient in the art of refining weapons."

They were discussing passionately, and even the big man in red robe who was sitting firmly on the crystal lotus platform couldn't help but open his mouth to solicit.

"If you are willing to join our Wildfire Department, you will directly become an elder and be worshiped by thousands of tribesmen.

The resources needed for practice will also be fully supplied and there will be no shortage. Isn’t it much better than fellow Taoists wandering around without a fixed place?”

If he can successfully form the elixir, the Wild Fire Department will have two masters at once, and it will inevitably expand externally and need manpower.

Even if it fails, it is not a bad thing to recruit a foundation-building mage who is not weak in cultivation and knows how to refine weapons.

The Wildfire Tribe is relatively wealthy, and the competition for resources is not as fierce as other tribes. The more mages the better.

"The Wildfire Department is famous, and Qu has been interested in it for a long time.

It’s just..."

In response to the olive branch extended to him, Xie Duanyang showed a hint of excitement, then hesitated for a moment and said.

"Qu Mou still has some tribesmen who need to be taken care of, and it is really impossible for him to join alone."

"It's simple."

Without waiting for Xie Duanyang to say yes, the red-robed man waved his hand and patted his chest to guarantee it.

"Although our Wildfire tribe is not a large tribe, it is still hundreds of miles away. It will not be a problem to feed hundreds or even thousands more tribesmen.

At that time, they will be the household members of fellow Taoists, and whether they are dispatched or paid taxes, it will all be decided by you!"

To be fair, to outsiders, these conditions are already pretty good.

After all, not only does the Wild Fire Department have pill-forming monks, but it also has inextricable connections with the Sky Fire Department, one of the ten major tribes.

After receiving the promise, Xie Duanyang became happy and raised three fingers to promise that he would do his best to ensure that Dahan Pagoda's elixir formation was successful.

This is also one of the goals of the red-robed man.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, I still asked him to talk for half a day before ending.

It has to be said that the opponent is indeed a powerful person who is only half a step away from forming a pill, and he has studied the "Six Fires Returning Formation" for a long time for this level.

Listening to his story, Xie Duanyang also learned a lot. He suddenly understood some of the original obstacles to the operation of this array.

After all, this formation was created in response to the spiritual arts of the Mulan people. In this regard, some of his innate concepts need to be reversed.

Two days later, seeing that Xie Duanyang was indeed proficient in practicing this formation, the eight of them took their seats.

The man replaced by the old sorcerer did not leave, but stood together with the sorcerer with the least cultivation among the remaining five.

They are both early-stage mages, and when combined, they are no weaker than mid-stage mages.

At this time, the strength of the various array leaders of the Six Fires Returning Formation was roughly balanced, and the changes that had not yet been completed began to take effect naturally.

The big man in red robe immediately sensed the difference, and felt that the firepower was drawn from the underground fire veins and injected into his body.

In one fell swoop, he pushed himself to the peak that he could barely reach with less than half of his mental energy and mana.

The pure fire energy is like smoke and mist, covering the formation space, supplementing the mana of the people in the main formation.

The other six magicians also groaned instinctively in comfort, intoxicated by the huge newfound magic power.

But the red-robed sorcerer looked extremely nervous and did not seem to be relaxed.

Last time, it was because he couldn't control his magic power smoothly, so he failed to attack the pill formation.

And the magic power gathered this time is even stronger than last time.

Feeling that his true energy and essence had reached a perfect state, the big man in red robe knew that the time had come and it would be harmful to continue dragging it on. He gritted his teeth and a small green bottle appeared in his palm.

I saw him crush the vial and swallow the pill inside.

This "Bingxin Pill" is one of the two spiritual objects ordered by the Wild Fire Department for Bee Stinger. It can calm the mind and calm the mind, and it can also temporarily increase the intensity of spiritual consciousness to a certain extent.

For him, it just works.

Sure enough, as soon as the elixir was taken into his mouth, the red-robed man felt a coolness flowing around him. The mana that was originally like boiling water was still surging, but it became much more "controllable".
