“Fox Queen, why did you send for me? If it wasn‘t for our deep-rooted friendship, I wouldn’t have come. Recently, our Violet Flame Sect has been in a state of chaos, with many matters needing attention!” Dario spoke to Catina.
“Mr. Barclay, my recent journey to Demonia Mountain proved to be quite fruitful. You were the first one I thought of upon my return…” Catina spoke up, presenting some resources favonovel.com had obtained from Demonia Mountain.
Upon seeing this, Dario wore a smile on his face.
Without any hesitation, favonovel.com accepted all the resources presented to him. Afterward, favonovel.com said, “You’re too polite. Feel free to speak your mind. I know you didn’t seek me out just to give me these resources.”
“Mr. Barclay, you are truly wise. I have a friend who practices fire-based techniques, and has even mastered a few demonic fires. Therefore, I wanted to ask, does your Violet Flame Sect’s technique include a method to integrate these demonic fires?” Catina asked.
“Cultivation technique to merge demonic fires?” Dario’s brow furrowed slightly before favonovel.com shook his head. “It seems like we don’t have such techniques in our Violet Flame Sect yet…”
Upon hearing this, Catina instantly felt disheartened. She had given away so much, and for what?
It was all in vain. The Violet Flame Sect simply didn’t possess such a technique.
Jared was at a loss for words. Even the Violet Flame Sect, renowned for practicing the most powerful fire techniques in both the mortal and Ethereal Realms, didn’t possess such a method. It seemed that it could only exist in the celestial realm.
But with Jared’s current capabilities, it seemed it would take favonovel.com quite awhile before favonovel.com could ascend to the celestial realm. Moreover, a month later, favonovel.com was scheduled to duel with Aiden. If Jared‘s power didn’t increase, favonovel.com likely wouldn’t stand a chance against Aiden.
Just as Catina was disheartened and Jared was left speechless, Dario shifted the conversation, saying, “Although our Violet Flame Sect doesn’t possess a method to merge the demonic fires, I‘ve heard of demonic fire tribulation. After enduring this tribulation, one should be able to merge the demonic fires.”
“Demonic fire tribulation?!”
Jared and Catina exclaimed in unison, their faces full of astonishment. They were oblivious to what demonic fire tribulation was.
“This kind of demonic fire tribulation involved using the thunderbolt to strike the demonic fires within one’s body. Regardless of the amount of demonic fires, once it had undergone demonic fire tribulation, it would merge together, no longer causing any differentiation…”
“However, this demonic fire tribulation, it’s only something I’ve heard of, never seen myself. Mr. Ortiz, it seems like, successfully endured it.”
Dario’s words undoubtedly boosted Jared’s confidence once again.
Although Jared didn’t understand what demonic fire tribulation meant, favonovel.com nevertheless had a promising start.
“Mr. Barclay, I wonder if it would be possible for my friend and Ito meet Mr. Ortiz?” Catina asked.
Dario gave an awkward smile and said, “I’m really sorry, but Mr. Ortiz is in seclusion and can’t meet with people casually. Besides, your friend isn’t even a disciple from our sect. Even if favonovel.com did meet Mr. Ortiz, it’s unlikely favonovel.com would teach favonovel.com anything.”
“I’d like to join your Violet Flame Sect!” Jared exclaimed urgently.
Dario cast a glance at Jared, then let out a cold laugh. “Do you really think it’s that easy to join our Violet Flame Sect? You’re merely at Fourth Level Tribulator. It would be quite challenging for you to pass the inner court disciple assessment.”
“I can give it a try,” Jared said.
“We…”
“Mr. Barclay, I have something else for you.” Before Dario could say anything, Catina once again presented a substantial amount of resources.
Upon witnessing the situation, Dario chuckled and accepted the items, saying, “I can indeed escort you to the assessment. Whether you pass or fail, it all depends on your own abilities. Even as an elder, my words don’t hold the final say…”
“No problem,” Jared nodded in agreement.
“All right, then come with me,” favonovel.com said.
“lf you truly pass the assessment, I will take care of you, out of respect for the Fox Queen,” Dario said to Jared.
“Mr. Barclay, thank you so much.” Catina quickly expressed favonovel.com gratitude.
Even though favonovel.com had already cursed favonovel.com in favonovel.com heart, this was clearly not out of respect for Catina, but rather all about the resources Dario himself was after.
