"I've thought about that," said Qin Feng. "I have the Separation Fire Essence; perhaps it could ignite her 'Fire Seed'."

Lin Xue'er's body and blood are now occupied by the aura of the Fire Qilin Beast Core.

In other words, inside her bones, she possesses the "Fire Seed" of the Fire Qilin.

To maximize the activation of her bloodline power, the "Fire Seed" needs to be ignited, just like the flame on a Qilin's body.

The Cultivation Technique developed for Lin Xue'er was also centered around this "Fire Seed" to make full use of this advantage.

"Separation Fire Essence?"

Yiyi was puzzled for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it won't work."

"Why? It's 'True Fire.'" Qin Feng said.

"That's precisely why it won't work," Yiyi stated. "Separation Fire can burn anything. The essence of Separation Fire is spiritual. If it collides with the fire of her bloodline, it's likely to completely devour her. Qilin blood is too enticing."

"What should I do then?" Qin Feng frowned and asked.

Although not being able to ignite the "Fire Seed" does not affect Lin Xue'er's cultivation, if the "Fire Seed" remains unlit, her potential's full advantage cannot be utilized. It would be a complete waste.

After pondering for a while, Yiyi muttered: "In Qinling, there seems to be a 'Fire Stone', which should be useful."

"Fire Stone?"

"That's right. It's in the Red Fire Palace. It's the treasured relic of the palace; borrowing a wisp of the 'Fire Breath' will be enough."

"..."

Hearing this, Qin Feng was surprised.

Red Fire Palace.

Together with the Supreme Sect and Xingluo Peak, it's one of the three major powers of Qinling, and borrowing it won't be easy.

Moreover, Lin Xue'er was about to depart soon, and there wasn't enough time.

After a brief consideration, Qin Feng said to Lin Xue'er, "I'll make a trip to Qinling later. You start cultivating according to this technique first. It's good for your body and will help you suppress that disease."

"You're so kind to travel thousands of miles to Qinling just for me, hehe!" Lin Xue'er said with a sweet smile.

Qin Feng felt embarrassed and replied, "Stop teasing, I have other business in Qinling. I'll help you borrow it on the way. Besides, I only want to help you cultivate because I can't bear to waste the power of the Fire Qilin Beast Core, don't flatter yourself."

"Cut it out, you're saying one thing and thinking another!" Lin Xue'er said.

That very afternoon, Lin Xue'er left Emperor Villa to meet up with people from the Dragon Group and set out for their destination.

Qin Feng was busy until the evening.

He wrote down more than a dozen Heavenly Rank Techniques and handed them to Yiyi, asking, "Are these of any interest to you?"

Yiyi's eyes lit up immediately.

Who wouldn't be interested in Heavenly Rank Techniques?

"If you're interested, I could give all of them to you to study, but I have one condition," Qin Feng said. "You have to take me as your master!"

He had an innumerable collection of Heavenly Rank Techniques.

Giving away more than a dozen meant little to him.

But.

What he wanted was Yiyi, the person... ah no, Yiyi's martial arts talent!

With her talent, she might well become a martial arts genius like Old Sir Dongfang.

Although her own cultivation might not be high.

Her research in martial arts was comparable to anyone's.

Those who have been mentored by Old Sir Dongfang progressed rapidly, as if by divine assistance!

Judging from the technique she researched for Lin Xue'er, Yiyi had such potential!

So.

Before she came of age, he wanted to get her... ah no, he wanted her to become his person, just like when he took Ai Yeqing under his wing.

"How about it, do you agree?" Qin Feng asked.

Yiyi blinked her bright, watery eyes and replied, "Brother Qin, so you have this kind of hobby!"

"What sort of hobby?" Qin Feng didn't understand.

"This alternative thrill of teacher and student. Isn't it said that romantic relations between them are greatly taboo? Yet you're actually thinking of going that way," Yiyi said.

"..."

Qin Feng was momentarily speechless.

Turns out this girl is still thinking about marrying herself off in the future, how typical!

Since being covert about a master-disciple relationship is the norm in the Hidden World, let's do it this way!

"You tell me, do you want to take me as your master or not?"

Qin Feng added.

"If Brother Qin likes 'thrills', then I'll take you as my master! Hehe..."

Yiyi said with a laugh.

The ceremony of apprenticeship is very simple.

Qin Feng asked Xiao Lian to be a witness. After Yiyi drank the apprenticeship wine and Xiao Lian made her a "student ID", the apprenticeship was considered successful.

"Very good, then these secret books are for you to study first."

Qin Feng handed her the secret books.

Yiyi felt very pleased to have the secret books and went to study them by herself.

It was getting late.

Qin Feng said to Xiao Lian, "I'll leave this place to you, I need to step out."

"Are you going to Qinling?" Xiao Lian asked.

During their time in Longshan, she had learned that Qin Feng had plans to visit Qinling.

"Yes, before going to Qinling, I need to visit another place. You don't have to follow me this time; this journey is too dangerous," Qin Feng replied, "During this period, you can help the Dragon Sect to establish a complete system. In the future, Dragon Sect will be the hub for external forces in our industries. You will be in charge of coordinating with Fei Long."

"Okay!"

Xiao Lian nodded, feeling very touched.

She understood the importance of Dragon Sect to Qin Feng, and in the future, she would be the direct person responsible for all of Qin Feng's external forces – Dragon Sect.

And directly liaising with Fei Long from Dragon Sect, this showed absolute trust!

"Also." Thistranslationispoweredbythereaders

Qin Feng continued to Xiao Lian, "I am going to establish an organization, you help me get in touch with those people."

"Forming an organization?"

Xiao Lian asked curiously.

"Yes, it's an organization that integrates all forces. Let's call it 'Heavenly King Palace'."

Qin Feng announced.

Heavenly King.

The supreme ruler of heaven!

It also corresponds to Heavenly King Mountain.

Once abandoned by Heavenly King Mountain, now rising with Heavenly King Palace!

Qin Feng continued, "The initial members will include Ai Yeqing, Yiyi, Poisonous Insect King White Ghost, Five Wheel Mountain Wang Zanggu, Moon-cutting Sect Hong Lian, Hundred Herbs Hall Guo Huaiqiu, and others. Dragon Sect will be responsible for daily operations, which is more conducive to unification."

He had thought of this long ago, but the timing had not been ripe. Now that the world was in chaos, it was necessary to consolidate these scattered forces together.

"Yes, I will make the arrangements immediately."

Xiao Lian said.

After Qin Feng finished his instructions, he suddenly thought of someone else who could also be very useful.

That night.

He went directly to Wanfu Building.

Ye Xiaowu and her sister Ye Qingwu, after being brought back by the Poisonous Insect King White Ghost and rescued by Qin Feng from being pursued by the Supreme Sect, had been living in Wanfu Building.

The reason Qin Feng helped them was partly because of Ye Xiaowu's astonishing thievery abilities.

Of course.

He wasn't encouraging her to steal.

Instead, he valued such abilities and felt she held great promise.

Therefore, he had to get her to join Heavenly King Palace.

The night was deep and quiet.

The sisters, Ye Xiaowu and Ye Qingwu, were in their hotel room.

Ye Qingwu gazed at the neon lights outside the window, lost in thought.

Ye Xiaowu, bored out of her mind on the bed, said, "Sister, I'm dying of boredom here. Are we just going to keep staying here?"

Ye Qingwu replied, "Since we now belong to Mr. Qin, let's follow his instructions. Before he left, he told us to keep staying here..."

"How about we go out and explore the night market?"

Ye Xiaowu's eyes lit up.
