Ranked according to the color and the energy contained in it, the first of the eighteen types of crystal stones is platinum stone, which is also the first crystal stone that appeared in the world after the opening of chaos. Since ancient times, platinum stone has been known as the world's most powerful crystal stone, and it is also a large finished product that combines the essence of the sun and the moon.

In second place is amber crystal, followed by cobalt tip and gold crystal, and in fifth place is this red crystal.

Legend has it that the red crystal contains a sacred fire that can burn all unclean things, so the red crystal is also called the stone of the holy fire. In ancient times, a possessor of a red crystal used it to burn a city and its armies to ashes in an instant. The red crystal can not only be used as a weapon, but if you can accurately manipulate the flame in the red crystal, you can also use it to fire and smelt iron, and the flame inside can refine all the impurities in the metal elements. By chance, this red crystal came into the hands of the first generation of the head of the Tianhuo Alliance, and later the head of each belt would pass it on to the next generation of heads as a token, and in this way, it was passed on to Master Ye's teacher.

It was the first time for the four disciples of the "Red Crystal ......" to see this treasure of the alliance at such a close distance, and if it wasn't for the extremely critical moment, they would not have sacrificed this stone. The emotions contained in everyone's eyes are also different, and the emotion in Master Ye's eyes at this time should be hunger, the kind of hunger and thirst for discovering a higher and higher level.

One of the four of them is destined to inherit this stone from the master's hands in the future, and at the same time, he will also inherit the position of the leader of the Heavenly Fire Alliance, and Master Ye is naturally one of the important candidates. It's just that at that time, he was obsessed with martial arts and iron smelting, and he was more interested in the height that this piece of red crystal could bring to his skills, and he didn't pay too much attention to the position and power of the head.

"Can you use this stone to suppress the murderous aura of the Seven Killings? A senior brother asked.

"Yes. Of course, it is also determined by the mind of the controller. The old master threw the red crystal into the iron-smelting pool containing the Seven Kills, and a small wave of fire erupted. But as everyone knows, this simple throw is equivalent to throwing the future of the entire Heavenly Fire Alliance into this pool, and Master Ye's originally peaceful life has also set off a huge wave at this moment. That's when the fork in the road began......

There is a small hole in the hilt of the Seven Kills, and this hole is a place specially used to place the Seven Kills Sword Heart, and the so-called Sword Heart is the soul of the sword. After entering the pool, the red crystal was immediately sucked into this round hole, and from this time on, the two peerless treasures were closely linked, and the red crystal became the sword soul of the Seven Killings from then on.

The Divine Soldier, who was about to move and try to drink blood, became extremely restless the moment he came into contact with the Divine Stone, and the Seven Kills kept stirring the hilt of his sword, fighting against the energy of the red crystal in the fire pool, trying to drive it out of his body. Splashes of molten iron and flames continued to spew out of the iron-making pool, but none of the five masters and apprentices left the room, and they all had to witness this important moment with their own eyes. This kind of confrontation lasted for a whole moment before it stopped, and although the time for a moment was not long, during this time, the hearts of the five Master Ye had already risen to their throats. Seeing that Seven Kills was finally surrendered by the Red Crystal, they were truly relieved.

Despite the unusually ferocity of the Seven Killings, it still could not be compared to the crystal stone containing the energy of heaven and earth, and after a fierce fight, the red crystal finally calmed down the mania of the Seven Killings and became its true soul.

"Okay, apprentices," the old master clapped his hands, looking at the Seven Killings in the Iron Pool with a gratifying face, and a rare gleam of joy welled up in his eyes that had passed the age of not being confused, "Now I am here to announce that those of you who can truly control this Seven Killings can inherit my mantle and become the heir to the next official head of the Heavenly Fire Alliance." "Maybe he was really too happy, he had been carried away by the joy, and the old boss didn't realize that the decision he made now was really too fast and too hasty.

The four disciples who entered the room couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this sudden news, their master was only forty-five years old this year, and he was in the prime of life, and the disciples all thought that it would be no problem for him to sit firmly in the position of head for another ten years with his current state, and they had never thought that he would start thinking about cultivating a successor so quickly, everything came too suddenly, so that they didn't have time to think at all, especially Master Ye. He is the youngest of all the senior brothers, and it would be good to say that in a few years, but now he is the least qualified to compete with these senior brothers if he ranks according to his seniority.

"Master's words are true. The senior brother among the four asked first, he was the earliest to come to the Heavenly Fire Alliance, and the teacher who followed them the longest, and he was indeed the most qualified person to ask this.

"Seriously, you've ever seen when a teacher doesn't count. ”

"This matter is very important, so I would like to ask Master to make a decision after careful consideration. The second senior brother also came out to dissuade him.

"I've thought twice about being a teacher, this is definitely not a whim decision," the old master became more and more excited the more he spoke, and the glory on his face seemed to make him more than ten years younger all of a sudden, "You are not young anymore, including Haoran, all of them can be said to be one of the few young talents in today's martial arts, no matter which of you inherits the mantle of being a teacher in the future, I can rest assured." Moreover, the red crystal, the treasure of the town gate that has been passed down from generation to generation in our sect, has been combined with the Seven Killings, and it has always been the head of the sect that has always been the one who obtains the divine stone, so the one among you who can truly control this divine soldier must be the next head chosen by God, there is no doubt about it. Although the tone of the old boss was calm, there was an unchangeable firmness in it.

"Master has really already decided. The second senior brother finally asked again, although he hoped that he would think about it again, but in his heart he was thinking about something else.

"It's really decided, no matter which of you finally gets the position of the head of the sect, I want you to make a heavy oath here, the victory or defeat is up to fate, and you must not be resentful because of this, and the other three will definitely assist the new head in the future and continue to carry forward this Heavenly Fire Alliance. If there is anyone who intends to seek the position of the head of the sect and destroy the unity of the division, the rest of them can join forces to kill him. ”

This is undoubtedly a death order to the four brothers, especially the last three words "kill", which makes their hearts tremble, what they say is actually empty words, to put it bluntly, they want to tell the other three people who were defeated, and they will honestly be an elder of a sect in the future, and they don't even think about the position of the head of the sect.

"Do you all understand? ”

"Understood. The old master's eyes turned around these people, especially when he passed the second senior brother, he stayed for a few more seconds, and the second senior brother's wish to inherit the position of the head of the family is not a day or two, although everyone doesn't say it, in fact, they can see it. But after knowing that this matter could not be changed, no matter what the four of them thought originally, they still nodded very respectfully, including the second senior brother.

"Well, that's good. The old master nodded, and then sucked back with a strong palm force, and directly sucked the seven kills out of the iron-making pool, and the palm of his hand pressed down heavily, and the seven kills were directly nailed to the floor.

"Then let's start, Feng'er first, and then take turns in turn. ”

The peak in his mouth is naturally the senior brother of these people. If you only look at the appearance, this senior brother should be the most outstanding of these people, his appearance is extremely handsome, and he is also the most popular among the four girls.

The senior brother walked up to the Seven Killings in response, first bowed to the master, and then arched his hand to the other three junior brothers. It was the first time he had used this weapon, so he couldn't help but look a little nervous. The senior brother concentrated his essence between his palms, and then tightly held the handle of the seven kills, not long after he held the hilt of the sword, the rest of the people found out that something was not quite right, only to see the senior brother holding the seven kills with a painful and sad face, but he never saw him pull it out of the ground, as time went by minute and second, his originally handsome and extraordinary face became more distorted, drops of sweat continued to seep out from the top of his head, and then fell down and hit the ground, even his legs began to tremble slightly, as if there was some invisible demon and monster attached to this weapon in front of him, and the people around him were also nervous。 After a full five minutes, the senior brother pulled out the seven kills on the floor, just when everyone thought he was going to succeed, and even he himself was ready to adjust his breathing, I saw that the senior brother suddenly screamed, and an invisible force spewed out from the seven kills, and directly bounced him to the ground, and the seven kills in his hand also got out of his hand and inserted it on the floor again. The third senior brother and Master Ye hurriedly went to help the senior brother up, but they saw the cracked fragments and scratches in his hands, it was obvious that he was counterattacked by the seven killings, and it did not admit that the senior brother was his master. The second senior brother on the side stood there indifferent, and even a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Next. The old master didn't say much, just shook his head helplessly, and then beckoned the next disciple.

The second senior brother also stepped forward and made a bow to the master first, and without even looking at the rest of the senior brothers, he walked directly over and pulled out the seven kills. He has a wide, angular face, and that acerbic expression is most evident.

The second senior brother seems to be quite confident, among these four people, his kung fu is second only to the senior brother, and the chance of success is also very high, but the result is very biased from what he expected.

When he just held the handle of the Seven Kills, he looked different from the senior brother, and he was also embarrassed, but his skills were deep after all, and with psychological preparation, he quickly pulled the Seven Kills out of the floor without too much effort. But being able to pull it out and being able to really control it are two different things, the Seven Kills kept shaking in the hands of the second senior brother, and from time to time there would be a few sharp whistling sounds from the interface, which was the howling of the beast! The current appearance of the seven kills is just like when he fought against the red crystal, the second senior brother used all his strength to pour the power of the whole body into the hilt of the sword, the old master once said that the real soul of the seven killings now lies in the red crystal, if he can control the red crystal, he will definitely be able to surrender the seven kills, with this idea, he tried to use the essence in his body to contact the red crystal, but this is a completely futile attempt, all the injected essence is like a mud cow into the sea directly swallowed up by the vast spiritual realm of the red crystal. Shenshi spat out a powerful tongue of fire from his body on his own, and the fate of the second senior brother was even worse, his hands were directly severely burned by the flames, and the seven kills automatically changed into a long whip form, and he threw it directly towards the body of the second senior brother, and slapped him on the wall like a fly, and then it fell to the ground with a hammer. The sword has arrogant bones, even if it is lying on the ground and is ignored, it does not want to be touched by people who are not worthy of him, and if it insists on coming, it will ask for its own suffering.

Although the second senior brother still wanted to go up and fight this thing again, his lower abdomen had been seriously scratched several times by the blade teeth of the Seven Killings, and he looked at this unruly murder weapon with resentment, although he was unwilling, he could only swallow this breath silently.

"Get up, don't worry about it!" Master Ye wanted to go up and pull the second senior brother up, but he pushed him aside, in his opinion, this was a kind of coy posture used to laugh at him.

After seeing this scene, the old boss glanced at the second senior brother gently, and this glance also wrote his disappointment in the second senior brother and his sorrow for himself for more than ten years. He has always regarded these four apprentices as his own sons, and over the years, he has also taught and cultivated all his skills.

Among the four senior brothers, he felt that the second senior brother was the most talented, but he also disliked his character the most. Among the four, he admires his little apprentice Ye Haoran the most, he has always taught the second senior brother to sharpen his temperament more, and humbly learn from other senior brothers.

It's time for the third senior brother, the third senior brother is the one who looks the most like a blacksmith among these people, his body is the strongest among the four brothers, his skin is also the darkest, and his honest face gives people a sense of approachability and intimacy. The process is basically the same as the two senior brothers in front, and he was also counterattacked by its murderous nature after raising the seven kills, but he knew the truth of stopping in moderation, and he quickly let go when the seven kills were about to hurt him, since he knew that he was not suitable for this divine soldier, he didn't force it.

"Hmm. "For the third senior brother the old head only showed a little satisfaction, the third senior brother's temperament is more modest, and he knows how to make trade-offs, the old head feels that he may not become the most accomplished of the four, but he can live the most leisurely, for the third senior brother he gave advice is that he can be more appropriately more competitive. "Haoran, it's your turn. ”

Finally arrived at the last person, Haoran, naturally referring to Master Ye, and his full name was Ye Haoran.

"Be careful, if you feel wrong, let go. Ye Haoran passed by the third senior brother when he walked over, and the third senior brother gently patted him on the shoulder.

For the third senior brother's kind reminder, Ye Haoran nodded gratefully, he knew very well that the third senior brother was really thinking about him, not afraid that he would have the opportunity to take away the position of the head of the alliance.

Ye Haoran walked in front of the Seven Kills and looked at the divine soldier who was lying quietly on the ground. First, I took a few deep breaths to deliberately keep it even, adjusted my mood for a while, and then began to concentrate. The three senior brothers and the master were all intently watching this last little brother.

The elder brother's face was so calm that people couldn't detect what was going on in his heart.

The second senior brother is full of loss and disdain, and it can be seen from that angular face that what even he can't do, how can this hairy boy with the smallest seniority do it. His current idea was to put an end to this farce quickly, and then find a suitable time to re-compete for the position of the head of the alliance.

The third senior brother is full of concern, he has the best friendship with this little junior brother on weekdays, and hopes that he can succeed.

The old boss is the same, now all his hopes are pinned on Ye Haoran, after all, he has already said this, and he hopes that the dust will settle like this, otherwise everything will have to start over, and maybe there will be some unnecessary chaos.

Ye Haoran also concentrated his power in his palms like a few senior brothers, and the essence of his whole body slowly accumulated in the Zhongzhu acupoint, and then carried the secret internal power of the sect, and the sky and fire mixed the vitality. This is a kind of supreme masculine to yang to pure and fierce internal strength of the heart, through the maximum extent of the essence in their own body for calcination, in a short period of time can be called their own internal strength cultivation to a better level, this is only suitable for strong yang and strong body of men to practice, if the body is weak and cold people to practice, but will be injured by the blazing qi and the internal organs.

At this time, Ye Haoran already had the cultivation of a seventh-level qi master, and his cultivation of this kind of qigong had also reached the third level, and streams of hot qi came out from his palm, and his body temperature suddenly soared and rose by more than ten degrees! With the blessing of the Heavenly Fire Mixed Vitality, the internal strength of his original seventh-level Qi Master had been improved to the peak of the eleventh-level Qi Master at this time, and he was already very close to the normal-level powerhouse known as the watershed of martial artists!

"Wait!" Just as Ye Haoran was about to bend down and put his hand up, someone suddenly stopped him from behind, it was his master.

"Haoran, all things in the world are mutually reinforcing, if you want one thing to descend another, you can not only use violence to counter violence, you can try what I often tell you about the principle of overcoming the endless life with softness. ”

"Overcome rigidity with softness, endlessly...... Good. Ye Haoran pondered these eight words a few times in his heart, and then he squatted down and put his hands on the hilt of the Seven Killings. At this time, he could truly realize the sense of fear that the three senior brothers had felt before.

It seems that there are tens of thousands of ferocious beasts roaring out from the Seven Killings, they crawl all over Ye Haoran's body, invisible teeth tearing at his flesh and skin, although this is only an illusion formed by the coercion of the Seven Killings, but it is still extremely terrifying, the red crystal has weakened the killing nature of the Seven Killings to the greatest extent, it is hard to imagine how terrifying this monster will be if it is completely released!

The main test of this level is the tenacity of the user's heart, if you can't even conquer this illusion, let alone suppress the beast nature of the Seven Kills. Ye Haoran roared angrily, although he was the youngest, but he had the most tenacious heart, the heat of his whole body seemed to be transformed into invisible knives and guns with his will, and these violent monsters launched a fierce fight, after a dangerous spiritual fight, Ye Haoran finally dispelled these illusions, although it was a war without gunpowder, but it was no less than the fierce fight of real knives and guns in real life. Beads of hot sweat had already soaked the floor, and it was clear that it had taken a toll on his spirit.

Before Ye Haoran could breathe a sigh of relief, Seven Kills roared and rushed towards him again, Ye Haoran could deeply feel that this fierce beast was trying to break free of his hands and cut a few bites on his body, he poured the essence of his whole body to fight against it, but he still couldn't suppress it, it was hard to imagine how it could have such a strong sense of self just a weapon made by someone. All the parts of the body of the Seven Kills are the fragments of the extremely fierce sword that has killed hundreds of people, it can be said that it is piled up by piles of white bones and blood, and in the process of casting, a drop of the blood of the king who slaughtered all the other beasts in the beast herd was dripped into the iron-making pool, and then continued to be concocted in the same way, after more than 100 days of tempering and solidification, the Seven Killings were truly formed, and the purpose of its original forging should be purely for killing, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first murder weapon in today's martial arts.

In the process of confrontation, Ye Haoran also tried to use his essence to control the red crystal, relying on it to contain the seven killings. But this kind of attempt is completely a drop in the bucket, the inside of the red crystal is an illusory energy space that it has created out of thin air after millions of years of accumulation, it can be said that how big is between heaven and earth, the inner space of this divine stone is almost so large, it is completely impossible to fill this stone by filling in the essence, even if all the power of Ye Haoran's whole body is instilled into it, it may not be able to fill a small corner of this crystal stone. If he continues to consume like this, once his physical strength is exhausted and his strength cannot be maintained, he will be like his senior brothers, and he will be counterattacked by the Red Crystal and the Seven Kills to a greater extent!

"Overcome rigidity with softness, and keep ...... life" At this critical juncture, Ye Haoran suddenly remembered the eight words that his master had said to him. In an instant, an idea flashed through his mind, and he saw that the aura on Ye Haoran's body gradually calmed down, and at this time, the Seven Kills also took the opportunity to deform and bite his shoulder, but he still stood there indifferently, the hilt of the sword was still tightly held in his hand, and he did not let it go.

"Let go!" The third senior brother couldn't help but shout, but at this moment, Ye Haoran couldn't hear his voice for a long time.

"Don't worry, you see the hilt isn't still in his hand. The master said, but his eyes were staring at his little apprentice without moving.

"But the fourth junior brother ...... him"

"Calm down first, he has already performed better than all of you in this far, and then it depends on his creation, maybe he can really understand the true meaning of life. ”

The senior brother and the second senior brother also didn't dare to be distracted, especially the second senior brother, he wanted to see what tricks this little junior brother who was the most unobtrusive on weekdays could play.

Now Ye Haoran has entered the realm of "meditation" as the Buddhists say, and all the sounds and breaths of the outside world can no longer interfere with him. The true essence of the internal strength of the Heavenly Fire Mixed Vitality Qi actually lies in the word Mixed Yuan, and his teacher once explained to them that if the Heavenly Fire Mixed Vitality can be exerted to the greatest extent, they can achieve the peculiar effect of absorbing the energy of heaven and earth and integrating it into the limbs and bones of their own body. Ye Haoran didn't try to fill this divine stone again, but tried to mix his essence into the energy emitted by the red crystal. This is a process of continuous compression, if the energy flow of the red crystal tries to confront his essence, he will find a way to use the Heavenly Fire Mixed Yuan Qi to mix and condense these two forces, and the condensation in each place makes him feel like the pain of being burned on the fire, at this time, the millions of pores in his whole body are moving together, they assist Ye Haoran to complete this mixing operation, but he also has to bear the pain of these countless superimpositions. Over time, over and over again, before he knew it, his essence had become inextricably linked with the energy of the red crystal, and it was not so easy to disassemble it again. Next, he only felt that his brain and the essence in the meridians of his body were continuously absorbed into the red crystal body, and a large amount of fire energy containing his essence was added to his body between exhaling and inhaling, and in this way, his breath slowly merged with the red crystal qi, as long as the breath of the red crystal stone was not exhausted, the essence in his body would not be exhausted either, and even gradually overwhelmed the murderous aura of the seven kills. In this way, a whole day and a night passed, and Ye Haoran closed his eyes like this day and night, holding the hilt of the sword motionlessly, and there was nothing unusual in the seven killings.

"What the hell is he doing, and how long will he stand? The second senior brother really felt impatient, and they waited for him like this all day and night, even if he didn't hear from him. If it weren't for Master's face, he might have gone over and slapped him a few times.

"Just shut up and take a good look at me, your little junior brother's control over the mixed vitality has long exceeded that of you senior brothers, and he is embarrassed to be smug all day long. Wait, we're done. ”

The second senior brother was flushed by the master's cynicism, and even the other two felt embarrassed. Just when they were distracted, suddenly an overwhelming aura surged from behind them, and the strong heat current made them almost out of breath, creating a wall of air in front of them to barely resist this wave of hot air, and when they opened their eyes in the next second, they saw a fiery figure walking out of the air wave, and the peerless Seven Kills were held firmly in his hands, and the corners of his resolute eyebrows showed a trace of arrogance belonging to the real strong!
