Boarding Life

Qin Qi ignored the crowd’s discussions and continued to burn the sculpture little by little.

The process of burning was undoubtedly also the process of his Supreme Yang True Flame contending against this Nine Nether Cold Crystal!

And this confrontation, as time passed, finally revealed something!

The crowd initially laughed it off, thinking Qin Qi was just another failure among many.

But upon closer inspection, someone quickly noticed a shocking scene!

"This..."

Someone widened their eyes, "I, I feel like this ice sculpture is gradually melting, what, what is going on!"

"You must be mistaken, this kid only has the cultivation of the seventh tier of the Foundation Establishment Stage, how could he melt an ice sculpture that even many Core Formation cultivators couldn’t melt?"

However, as the doubts fell, many people fell silent.

After all, everyone wasn’t blind.

They could clearly see the layers of ice on the sculpture melting into water.

Although the speed was slow, the melting was indeed happening.

"This..."

Everyone was stunned.

"Impossible!"

The crowd exchanged glances in disbelief.

Even Huang Wanshan, who had been dismissive, also had his pupils constrict, then showed a look of surprise, "The Nine Nether Cold Crystal is actually melting? What flame is this kid using!"

"Amazing, quick, quickly inform the president about this news!"

Luo Yanran, standing aside, was also amazed, "Elder Huang, is it really that difficult to melt this ice sculpture?"

"Difficult? It’s more than that; it’s an almost impossible task!"

Huang Wanshan was filled with emotion, then transmitted a message, "Yanran, your master and I have a deep relationship, so I won’t hide this from you. This ice sculpture is called the Nine Nether Cold Crystal; before it was brought out, there was no expectation for anyone to melt it!"

"The purpose is to use people as test subjects to see if it could be disintegrated through large manpower!"

"But as you saw, even with many people, the Nine Nether Cold Crystal didn’t show a sign of melting. Yet this kid achieved it. His flame could actually melt the Nine Nether Cold Crystal!"

Luo Yanran’s pupils contracted, "Nine Nether Cold Crystal?"

Even though her knowledge wasn’t extensive, she knew the power of the Nine Nether Cold Crystal.

"Yanran, what’s your relationship with this guy!"

"Is he your master’s new apprentice?" Huang Wanshan eagerly asked.

Luo Yanran truthfully responded with a message, "He’s not, but he is extremely important to our Tianqing City. Even the Holy Maiden of our Tianlan Sect holds him in high regard!"

"Tianqing City, you mean, the one who previously hunted that Elite Demon was this kid..." Huang Wanshan suddenly exclaimed.

"Exactly!" Luo Yanran lightly nodded.

This statement fell into ears.

It wasn’t just Huang Wanshan.

Everyone present was stunned.

"The one rumored to have hunted an Elite Demon single-handedly is this kid?"

"Who exactly is this young man!"

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances.

At this moment, Qin Qi was also drenched in sweat, "No, I can’t hold on any longer!"

Immediately, he began to step back, his aura completely exhausted.

"Elder Huang, my apologies, I’m afraid this sculpture is beyond my ability!" Qin Qi straightforwardly said.

Even though he could melt a little of this sculpture, the melting had already consumed almost all of his mana!

At this pace, even if given a year or two, he might not be able to completely melt the sculpture.

"What is this Nine Nether Cold Crystal that it’s so formidable!"

As he pondered internally.

"Little friend, you’re being too modest!"

"If even you can’t melt it, it’s hard to imagine anyone else who could in this world!"

Suddenly, a hearty laugh came from nowhere.

Then, in the crowd’s sight, a figure appeared out of nowhere like a ghost.

When everyone saw his face, they were greatly shocked.

He appeared to be a middle-aged man in his forties, but with white hair, and was quite handsome.

"Could it be the legendary President Duan?"

The crowd’s doubts were quickly confirmed.

Huang Wanshan immediately greeted respectfully, "Greetings, President!"

This person was indeed the president of this guild, Duan Changfeng.

After Duan Changfeng appeared, he didn’t pay attention to others but looked at Qin Qi with a smile, "Little friend, could we have a private conversation?"

Qin Qi looked puzzled and used his Profound Pure Spirit Eye to examine him.

Duan Changfeng apparently noticed Qin Qi’s gaze and his spirit pupil, but he didn’t mind and allowed Qin Qi to look.

Upon seeing him, Qin Qi couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

"Could it be, a Nascent Soul Stage expert?"

It shocked him.

After a slight hesitation, he said, "Alright..."

"Everyone, disperse!" Duan Changfeng waved his hand, and his aura subtly spread.

The onlookers dared not defy him and obediently dispersed.

Seeing this, Duan Changfeng didn’t hesitate further, "Little friend, come with me!"

Luo Yanran wanted to follow.

But she was quickly stopped by Duan Changfeng waving his sleeve, "Miss, you don’t need to follow!"

Luo Yanran slightly trembled, feeling somewhat flustered.

Fortunately, Huang Wanshan reassured, "Don’t worry, as someone like President, how could he trouble young friend Qin Qi!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Yanran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, Qin Qi followed Duan Changfeng to the guild’s backyard.

Duan Changfeng waved his hand, "Little friend, by what name should I call you?"

"Qin Qi!" Qin Qi courteously responded.

"Little friend Qin Qi, have a seat!" Duan Changfeng said.

Qin Qi nodded, "Senior, if there’s something to say, please say it directly!"

"I suppose you can already guess why I sought you; naturally, it’s about that Nine Nether Cold Crystal!" Duan Changfeng straightforwardly spoke.

Upon hearing, Qin Qi couldn’t help but frown, "Senior, it’s not that I don’t want to comply, but with my strength, there’s simply no way to melt the Nine Nether Cold Crystal!"

"Although my flame can melt a portion, just melting a portion is enough to exhaust my mana!"

"Even so, this melting for such an ice sculpture several meters long and wide, is just a drop in the bucket; even if I stayed here daily, who knows when I could fully melt it!"

Duan Changfeng seemed to anticipate Qin Qi’s words, maintained a pleasant smile, "No problem, I can afford to wait!"

"As long as you’re willing to help, our offer remains unchanged, and you may choose any artifact from our guild!"

"I won’t charge anything for it whatsoever!"

This promise made Qin Qi visibly tempted. After all, the Eight Hundred Thousand Spirit Stone’s Thousand Thunder Vine appeared to be a great bargain!

However, at this moment, a mysterious woman suddenly said, "Don’t rush to agree!"
