"That is Beast Fire!" Autelan looked at the flame, his eyes wide with amusement. He wanted so badly to swallow it in one gulp.
Beast Fire was so immensely alluring that even geniuses like Autelan could not hide their greed.
"Autelan, the Beast Fire is for you. Do you feel better now?" Ricky smiled.
"That's sounds better!" Autelan said, praising Ricky as he hastily took the Beast Fire into his own hands.
While others might not be able to hold Beast Fire with their bare hands, Autelan could do it easily as he had already achieved Bone Reinforcement.
"Edgar, I also prepare one for you, but given your current capacity, you won't be able to control it yet. So, I will give it to the sect chief when I meet him so that he can refine it for you," Ricky said, his attention turning to Edgar.
"Thank you so much, Ricky! I appreciate it!" Edgar exclaimed happily.
"You seem to have reaped abundant fruits during your trip to the Earth Fire Land. Beast Fire isn't something you can just get anywhere. It is so uncommon that it cannot be met without resort, but you got it regardless," Autelan said.
"Autelan, it was just a fluke! I was just lucky, you know? If you go to the Earth Fire Land, you'll surely get even more than I did," Ricky said.
"Well, never mind. Since you have come here, you must know about the situation in the Misty South Faction," Autelan said. "To speak bluntly, the Misty South Faction now only exists in name. The few commanders that survive now have no one and nothing to lead."
"Yes, I know all about it, Autelan. I always thought that establishing a faction was easy, but I was wrong," Ricky agreed. "Now that I have come back, I will make the Misty South Faction have tremendous sway in the Snow Sect, far beyond Casting Faction and Refinement Faction!"
"Good plan, Ricky!" Edgar said in support of Ricky.
"Ricky, the reason they were gone is because the Misty South Faction didn't have enough inner overmatches," Autelan said. "If we can recruit two more from the top ten inner disciples, I have the faith that some warriors in the ninth or eighth grade of Blood Purification will join us.
If more overmatches join us, disciples at the lower grades will do the same. Even though Refinement Faction and Casting Faction may disrupt the people, we can still order our disciples to contend against them."
"You are right, Autelan. After all, our top combat forces aren't enough. Are there any ideal candidates?" Ricky asked.
"If Caleb, the seventh-ranked inner disciple and Elvis, the eighth-ranked inner disciple join the Misty South Faction, things will turn out fine," Autelan answered.
"I tried inviting them once, but they were so stubborn. They refused to join any faction no matter what I did or said."
"Autelan, I have an idea. What if I seduce them with Beast Fire? Do you think they'll agree then?" Ricky asked.
"You have more Beast Fires?" Autelan said, clearly astonished.
"Of course!" Ricky said.
"Wow, you have so much Beast Fires! It makes me want to go to the Earth Fire Land myself someday, but I don't know if I could ever be as lucky as you were," Auteland mused.
"If you seduce them with your Beast Fire, I don't think they will ever refuse our reputation. That is, if they aren't crazy or stupid."
"Good! Let's take Caleb and Elvis down first," said Ricky.
...
A while later, the four went to the refinement yard where Caleb and Elvis were.
The moment Ricky and Autelan showed up in the area, the disciples of the Snow Sect immediately wondered and gossiped about why the two were there.
