“I didn’t expect that despite your large and rough appearance, you have the demeanor of an uneducated person.”

“But still, your speech has a bit of literary elegance.”

“However… ”

“Don’t expect me to help you personally. That’s impossible.”

Having said that…

Before Xuanwu could get disappointed…

Vermilion Bird took something out of his pocket, seemingly prepared in advance.

The specialty tempered glass hit the tabletop with a thud sound.

“But this thing should be enough to solve your troubles.”

Hearing this…

Xuanwu looked up…

He saw a glass reagent lying quietly on the tabletop.

It contained a small amount of bright red liquid. He had never seen such a thing before…

“This is… ”

Xuanwu asked, puzzled.

“This was a reward that Sect Leader gave me not long ago.”

“It’s a body enhancer made from Sect Leader’s own blood.”

Xuanwu didn’t know the exact effects of this so-called “body enhancer.”

But just hearing the title of Holy Sect Sect Leader…

His breathing instantly became a bit heavy.

And the words of Vermilion Bird that followed…

Made his heartbeat race even faster.

“This reagent can increase your current physical strength by at least three times. ”

“Combined with the capabilities of your Profound and True Martial Arts… it should be enough to deal with the person who took your authority.”

Hearing this…

Xuanwu’s eyes instantly showed an excited expression.

What kind of person was Xuanwu?

He was someone who had perfected the Divine Beast Breathing Technique.

By combining it with two other Breathing Techniques, his body had already reached its limits and couldn’t go any further.

But with this medicine, his physical strength would increase by several times.

And then, combined with the Xuanwu Transformation that could further increase his power by up to five times after perfecting it…

Just thinking about this…

Xuanwu’s eyes reddened with excitement.

Even if the other party held authority…

In the face of such power, they would most likely be crushed like ants in an instant.

“Thank you, senior.”

With that said,

He got up from the ground, ready to take the medicine. He was eager to seize every moment and take back his authority.

“Wait.”

Suddenly…

Vermilion Bird covered the reagent with his hand.

“Senior Vermilion Bird, this… ”

Xuanwu was startled.

“Eat this first.”

Vermilion Bird smiled, raising a finger.

Zing!

Flame ignited at his fingertip, gradually condensing into a fireball.

“I’m not that kind, helping you for free.”

“And I don’t trust you, that after winning back the authority, you’ll honestly work for me.”

“This Fire Seed allows me to control your life at any time, and you won’t be able to get rid of it unless the share of authority you hold exceeds mine.”

Upon hearing this…

Xuanwu’s face instantly turned extremely ugly.

Yes…

He verbally vowed to be loyal to Vermilion Bird, pledging his life…

But how could he truly serve Vermilion Bird after being humiliated by him?

His current submissive attitude was nothing but a temporary strategy.

Once the authority was regained, who the hell cared about Vermilion Bird?

Even if you’re stronger than me, you may not be able to kill me.

Moreover,…

Xuanwu planned to wait until his strength surpassed Vermilion Bird and then beat him to death to avenge today’s humiliation.

However,…

The words Vermilion Bird spoke now…

Completely extinguished those thoughts in his mind.

Swallowing that Fire Seed would put his life and wealth in the hands of others, leaving him with no freedom to speak of.

But if he didn’t swallow the Fire Seed, without Vermilion Bird’s help, he might not even have the chance to survive at all.

Xuanwu’s face alternated from cloudy to clear, constantly weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

He wanted to live…

And he wanted to live with great power even more…

As long as he lived, he would have endless opportunities.

Thus…

Within just a few breaths…

Xuanwu had made up his mind.

Whoosh!

He reached out and grabbed the flame in Vermilion Bird’s hand.

Although it was an intangible thing…

It felt substantial at this moment.

The sound of sizzling accompanied the burning sensation in his palm.

Xuanwu opened his mouth and threw the Fire Seed directly inside.

The next second…

His eyes bulged out…

Green Tendons surfaced all over his body.

As soon as Xuanwu swallowed the Fire Seed, it felt as if a bomb had exploded in his mouth.

The intense high temperature made him instinctively want to spit it out.

But before he could react, the burning sensation seemed to have a life of its own, rapidly going down his throat and into his body.

In the blink of an eye…

That unbearable burning sensation spread throughout his body.

Fortunately…

The pain didn’t last too long.

It only took a few breaths before the flame quickly gathered, and eventually formed an infant fist-sized fireball in his heart.

“Huh…

Xuanwu’s forehead was covered with beads of cold sweat.

He clutched his heart, gasping heavily.

Even so…

Xuanwu didn’t forget to thank Vermilion Bird.

“Not bad, not bad.”

Vermilion Bird looked up and down at him, occasionally nodding his head.

He had thought that Xuanwu would make excuses and deliberately not swallow the fireball, but he didn’t expect him to be so decisive.

“Don’t rush to resent me.”

“Although this Fire Seed allows me to con trol your life, it’s also your lifesaver.”

Facing Xuanwu’s puzzled gaze, Vermilion Bird casually explained. “When your life is in grave danger, this Fire Seed will save your life.” “It can instantly restore your body to peak condition in a very short time.”

Saying that, Vermilion Bird leaned down.

He stretched out a hand and petted Xuanwu’s head like a pet.

“I’m treating you quite well, right, little turtle?”
