Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All - Chapter 511
511 Simple
Dong Xi was glad that Mo Han wasn’t so thick-skinned and would not pester her like Li Li.
In fact, Dong Xi was still using Li Li’s algorithm, but the complicated parts were replaced with Arabic numbers, which were much simpler.
Most of the things that needed to be tested with spiritual power could be replaced by mathematics and statistics, so… There would not be any backlash.
Of course, this was a big problem for the people in the cultivation world who had not received nine years of compulsory education.
Dong Xi did not say anything to Mo Han. She just sent a voice message to Lie Ming using a jade slip. Dong Xi said, “Why? He could participate in the past, but not this year? Lie Ming, can you ask your clan uncle to think of a way to make an exception?”
When Mo Han heard what Dong Xi said, his face darkened.
Lie Ming replied, “I’ve asked, but my uncle said no. This year, there are rules. Elder Lie Que has also cast the Heart Devil Curse. He won’t let outsiders enter the Raging Flames Array.”
When Dong Xi heard that Elder Lie Que had already used the Heart Devil Curse, her heart instantly turned cold. She knew that there was no hope this time.
Dong Xi sighed in the room for a long time. At this time, Daoist Yijian, who had gone out to fight, returned.
Daoist Yijian saw Dong Xi’s listless and lifeless appearance. Daoist Yijian asked in puzzlement, “Little Xi, what happened? Weren’t you quite happy when he came? Was it because the Lie family didn’t treat you well?”
With that, Daoist Yijian was about to leave when he said, “Who provoked you? Master will avenge you.”
Seeing his master’s stance, Dong Xi knew that he was not going to take revenge. He was clearly looking for an excuse to fight. Dong Xi immediately pulled Daoist Yijian back.
Dong Xi said, “Master, don’t misunderstand. I heard that the Lie family’s prize is to go to the Blazing Flame Array, but we foreign cultivators are not allowed to enter at all. I’m just a little sad, but it doesn’t matter. We can still fight for other prizes.”
Daoist Yijian stared at Dong Xi and said, “You want to go in that badly?”
“Of course, which body cultivator doesn’t want to go in?” Dong Xi said.
Daoist Yijian was speechless.
“I forgot that you’re also a body cultivator,” said Daoist Yijian.
Then, Daoist Yijian walked out and said, “You wait here, I’ll talk to Lie Huo.”
Dong Xi did not even have time to talk about Elder Lie Que’s Heart Devil Curse before Daoist Yijian walked out.
“Forget it, Master just wants to fight. It’s useless no matter what I say,” Dong Xi sighed.
But this time, Dong Xi was wrong. Daoist Yijian did not go for too long.
At night, when Dong Xi was cultivating under the moonlight, she was shaken awake.
Dong Xi opened her eyes and looked at her master in confusion. She was stunned.
Daoist Yijian loosened his grip and sat opposite Dong Xi. Daoist Yijian said, “I asked. It’s very troublesome. It’s not that the Lie family doesn’t want to part with the Raging Flame Array, but they’re afraid that there are demons mixed in.”
“Demon race?” asked Dong Xi.
Ever since Dong Xi left the Beast Trainer Sect, she had not heard of the demon race. She thought that everything had long been fine.
Daoist Yijian said, “Yes. Now that the demons have infiltrated a few sects, the Lie family doesn’t dare to take the risk. They’re afraid that the demons will steal their treasure. That’s the root of the clan’s life!”
When Dong Xi heard this, she understood.
Although Master Yijian had some friendship with the Lie family, that little friendship would not cause the Lie family to take the risk.
Dong Xi sighed lightly and felt relieved.
“Master, although it’s a pity, it doesn’t matter. Perhaps there will be a more important time in the future.”
Daoist Yijian stroked Dong Xi’s head. Dong Xi’s hair had grown long enough to tie a bun on top of her head.
The hair that had just grown out was black and shiny. Dong Xi’s hair was tied up like this, and it was a little outrageous.
“Good child, Master will find a suitable place for you in the future,” said Daoist Yijian.
Early the next morning, what woke Dong Xi up was not her cultivation speed that had slowed down, but… It was too hot.
It felt like he was being roasted on fire. Dong Xi’s sweat evaporated instantly.
The praying mat she was sitting on also started to burn her butt. Dong Xi immediately put away the praying mat.
If he was any slower, Dong Xi was afraid that the praying mat would catch fire.
At this time, Daoist Yijian and Mo Han also walked out of the house.
“Master, what’s wrong?” Dong Xi asked immediately. “The temperature is so high all of a sudden.”
Although it was Daoist Yijian’s first time participating, Lie Huo had mentioned it two days ago, so Daoist Yijian knew the reason.
Daoist Master Yijian said, “The Lie family’s secret treasure will release the fire spiritual energy that it has absorbed for many years once every 60 years. It won’t be too long, about half a month. This fire spiritual energy is simply a gift from the secret treasure to the people of the Zhu Fire Tribe, so they cherish it very much. That’s why there’s such a festival.”
When Dong Xi heard that it was because of the treasure, she felt relieved.
