Chapter 128: The Secret of Innate Fire
"As ordered!"

Acting as pathfinders, more than a dozen disciples responded enthusiastically. After receiving the order from Zhan Taixuan, these disciples felt that they had a supreme mission on their shoulders. They wished they could meet the disciples of the Huangquan Demon Sect right now and then try their best to show off in front of Zhan Taixuan.

"Li Qingcheng is really good at scheming. Zhan Taixuan is leading this mission, and these true disciples are fighting for their lives."

Zhang Qian shook his head slightly, then obediently took a white crane spirit beast that was about the same height as a man.

Nodding to Jiang Muxian and the others, Zhang Qian turned over and rode on the white crane. He gently patted the white crane's neck, and the white crane flapped its wings, soared into the sky, flew out of Zhaoyaotai at an extremely fast speed, and arrived outside the gate of Jianhulu Palace.

The wings of this white crane spread out to a radius of ten feet. It flew very fast and was quite intelligent. It flew away from Jian Hu Palace in a short while. Zhang Qian was just thinking about it when the white crane turned around and looked at him. It quacked and said, "Are you Zhang Qian? I know you!"

Zhang Qian was surprised: "How do you know me? I have never been to Zhaoyaotai."

The white crane blinked his eyes and said, "I know you from those two stupid fish spirits, Silver Face and Red Face. They often come to the Zhaoyaotai to play and show off to us."

Zhang Qian couldn't help but laugh, thinking to himself, "I didn't expect these two fish spirits to have such a wide network of contacts that they are even familiar with the spirit beasts on the Zhaoyao stage."

"Show off? What are they showing off to you?"

Zhang Qian felt a little strange. He had not paid attention to Silver Face and Red Face during this period. The two fish spirits had the help of the cultivation resources on the Demon Refining Island, and with the help of the "True Art of Moving Mountains and Seas", they had already reached the initial stage of magical powers. Moreover, Zhang Qian did not ask them to do anything, but only asked them to guard the gate of Feixianju. As a result, the two fish spirits could not sit still, and they became friends with the spirits and beasts in Jianhu Palace, and gained quite a reputation.

"They were bragging to us about how powerful their cultivation methods were. Haha, I think they were just stronger, not very sophisticated. However, our Boss Bald Elder said that their cultivation methods were very profound. We wanted to get their cultivation methods from them, but unfortunately Silver Face and Red Face were very stubborn and refused to reveal a single word."

"The bald elder?"

Zhang Qian was stunned. What kind of crappy name is this?

"Yes, the bald elder is very powerful. He was the mount of the sect leader in the past, but he was injured later. His scalp was cut off by the sword in a battle. From then on, the feathers on his head could no longer grow. We all call him the bald elder."

Zhang Qian's heart moved when he heard this. He didn't expect that this bald elder was Li Qingcheng's mount.

"Since your bald elder is the mount of the sect leader, he should have no shortage of cultivation methods. Why does he want to obtain the cultivation method of the silver-faced and red-faced elder?"

The "True Secret of Moving Mountains and Seas" is a common item in the prehistoric world. Every monster has this level of cultivation method. Zhang Qian collected countless of them in the beginning and didn't take them seriously at all. He didn't expect that it would be coveted by others now.

The white crane cackles, "You don't know, our status as spirits is far lower than that of the demons, and we have never produced any great powers. How can we pass on any exquisite cultivation methods? We have to rely on ourselves to explore and practice. Can you teach me the cultivation method of Silver Face and Red Face? I will be your mount in the future, okay?"

Zhang Qian smiled softly: "You, Baihe, are quite clever. What's your name? Are you a boy or a girl?"

The white crane said excitedly, "I am a girl, and I am not married yet. Because I am beautiful, just like a fairy, people call me the Winged Fairy! You don't know, there are many people pursuing me."

Zhang Qian almost fell off the white crane's back after hearing this. He asked with a dark face, "Winged Fairy? Do you know that this name is not just for fun?"

"What's wrong? Is there anything taboo about this name?"

Zhang Qian smacked his lips. He couldn't say anything. There was also a winged fairy in the ancient world, who was thousands of times more powerful than this white crane. Fortunately, this was not the ancient world, otherwise, just based on the name, this white crane would have attracted cause and effect.

The goblins in the Xihuang world are a clan of the lowest status. Some of them transform very early and have ugly appearances, while others have no intention of transforming at all and always maintain their original forms. Compared with the demon clan who can follow the path of demon cultivation, the goblins do not really have any inheritance to speak of, and their cultivation depends entirely on patchwork and groping.

Besides, the spirits and monsters have never produced such a powerful person, so there is no upper-level inheritance. After thinking about it, Zhang Qian made a plan: "You have to think it over. If you become my mount, you are not allowed to betray me. You must obey my orders."

The Winged Fairy cackles, "I've made up my mind. Please teach me the method."

Zhang Qian looked around and found that he had been separated from the dozen or so pathfinders and could no longer be seen.

"You fly over there. I have a hiding place in the Mirage Dragon Swamp. I will teach you the way of cultivation there."

The Winged Immortal didn't care whether the path Zhang Qian pointed out deviated from Zhan Taixuan's instructions. He flapped his wings and flew towards the Mirage Dragon Lake at an incredibly fast speed.

In the ancient world, Zhang Qian, a fake Golden Immortal, was so busy hiding and practicing and searching for treasures that he didn't even think of getting a mount to play with. You know, those ancient gods all rode mounts when they went out.

This white crane is extremely majestic, and Zhang Qian is very satisfied with it as a mount.

Mirage Dragon Lake was not far from Jianhu Palace, and with Winged Immortal's flying speed, it only took a few minutes to arrive there.

Following Zhang Qian's instructions, the Winged Immortal dived into the mirage in the sky, turned left and right, and flew to the clan's territory of the Frost Mirage Snake clan.

Han Ming had received Zhang Qian's message long ago, and brought the elite members of the Han Ming Mirage Snake clan out to greet them.

When the Winged Immortal landed, Zhang Qian scanned with his spiritual sense and found that Han Ming's cultivation level had not increased but decreased after he obtained the "True Art of Moving Mountains and Seas". At this moment, he had fallen to the initial stage of magic power, a big drop from the True Essence Realm.

"What's going on with your cultivation?"

Han Ming bowed respectfully and said, "My Lord, although my cultivation has fallen, the blood of the mirage dragon has become much stronger. I plan to refine my blood to perfection before breaking through the realm of cultivation."

Only then did Zhang Qian discover that Han Ming's mirage dragon bloodline had become thicker. The "True Art of Moving Mountains and Seas" was actually a method of condensing bloodline.

Bringing the Winged Fairy to the clan's territory of the Frost Snake at the bottom of the lake, Zhang Qian first examined the crack for a while, and saw that the formation under the crack was still intact. He then tried to chop it with the Sword Rainbow, but seeing that it had no effect, he stopped.

"Yuyixian, since you have surrendered to me, I will naturally teach you the way of cultivation. However, if you betray me and disobey my orders, I will take your life without mercy!"

The Winged Fairy quacked, "Don't worry, my lord. I am the most loyal."

"I hope so. Since you are a member of the flying family and your bloodline is of the fire element, I will teach you the 'Innate Fire Secret'. This practice method can enable you to cultivate into a white crane. If you cultivate to a high level, you will be able to control the Southern Bright Fire. Your magical power is quite great!"

“Ha ha ha, teach me now, teach me now. When I have mastered it, I will make those people in Zhaoyaotai envy me to death!”

The Winged Fairy was immediately overjoyed, leaving Zhang Qian speechless. It turned out that the Winged Fairy's greatest dream was to make the spirit beasts on Zhaoyaotai envious.

This "True Art of Innate Fire" contains the word "innate" in its name, and it is a relatively advanced method of cultivation for spirits. It was obtained by Zhang Qian when the three tribes of the ancient times were fighting.

At that time, the White Crane Clan also joined the Phoenix Clan to participate in the war between the three clans. The White Crane Clan had a very good appearance, with a Nanming Fire Essence on its head, a snow-white body, and a pointed golden beak. It flew on the Fire Auspicious Clouds at an incredibly fast speed. Even among all the prehistoric flying birds, it was considered to be a clan that ranked at the top in terms of flying speed.

Since he wanted to build a mount, Zhang Qian naturally had to build the best one.
