Chapter 40: Invoke the Earth’s fire, prepare to slaughter the Mountain Worshipping Sect

Although Wu Qi didn’t understand what it meant to pretend to be coerced, he still felt that Wu Ping was praising him.

“Are you cultivating the true body of the fire demon?” Wu Qi’s words made Wu Ping face the question directly.

“Yeah, how do you know?”

“Because I am also cultivating the true body of the fire demon. I feel the same breath in you.”

“Don’t you practice swords? How can you refine the true body of the fire demon? This should be a physical cultivation method, right?”

Wu Qi paused for a while and responded, “My sword is very heavy, and I can’t hold it if I’m not strong.”

“How heavy is it?” Wu Ping was curious. Just asking casually.

Wu Qi took out an epee about the size of a door panel from his storage bag very seriously.

Seeing this, Wu Ping couldn’t help feeling, “Indeed, it looks very heavy, but the epee doesn’t seem very good-looking.”

“Yeah, I think so too, so I don’t usually use it unless I’m really serious.”

“The true body of the fire demon was given to me by Protector Lin, and so is yours, right?” Wu Qi asked.

Wu Ping nodded, “Then we will be friends from now on.”

“Okay, you say yes, but I am very short of money. If you treat me as a friend, lend me some spirit stones. I am too poor.”

“Oh, good,” Wu Ping said casually.

Wu Qi fiddled with his storage bag again, taking dozens of spirit stones out of it in two clicks.

Wu Ping was shocked when he saw it. For such an honest Wu Qi, he was really embarrassed to accept it: “Forget it, forget it, I’ll make it by myself. Do you want to go down? It doesn’t feel too hot on it.”

Wu Qi glanced at Wu Ping, his eyes filled with a competitive spirit. With both of them exerting their strength, Wu Ping responded in kind, initiating a fierce exchange. The combined forces triggered a ground fire, causing the volcano to erupt. Thick black smoke billowed into the sky, and countless crimson magma spewed, creating a similar scene to the world’s end.

The lord of the Blood Rain Sect rushed to the scene, his face turning livid. “Two bastards! This is going to destroy the Blood Rain Sect!”

Infuriated, he used his spiritual power to pull Wu Ping and Wu Qi out of the magma, throwing them to the ground. “Assholes! Get out of here immediately! You’re not allowed to practice such exercises in the Blood Rain Sect again, even if Protector Lin gave it to you! Get out!”

The furious Sect Master shouted, and the two hurriedly gathered their belongings and fled. The angry gate master, with his beard, asked, believed that these two had malicious intentions against the Blood Rain Sect.

As the master flew away, determined to seek retribution from Lin Wanli, Wu Ping and Wu Qi, far from the scene, breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Ping remarked, “So stingy! What’s the big deal if the movement is a bit loud?”

Despite his words, Wu Ping couldn’t help but feel secretly happy that his Fire Demon’s True Body had reached the third level in such a short time.

As they ran far away, Wu Ping couldn’t resist asking, “Do you know where there are volcanoes?”

Wu Qi nodded, “I know. If I hadn’t met you today, I would try it.”

“Really? Where is it?”

Wu Qi handed a scroll to Wu Ping. Opening it, Wu Ping read:

[Task requirements: Slaughter up and down the mountain sect of worship, without leaving the chickens and dogs, push the mountain gate horizontally!].[Task reward: Thirty spirit stones].

Wu Ping was overjoyed. This task seemed tailor-made for him, as he had a grudge against the Baishan Sect.

Holding the scroll, Wu Ping asked, “Does this task count as my share?”

“Are you short of spirit stones?”

“Very lacking!”

“Alright, it’s all for you, but He Baishan has to be handed over to me. I don’t want to get hurt, so you have to help me.”

“If you have a condition, I also have one. I’ll raise the price to ten spirit stones. I’ll disable him and present him to you to finish off.”

For Wu Ping, money was the priority, and he didn’t mind the killing as long as he got paid.
