C678 Cold Dewdrop
After Nie Zhen heard Ouyang Xitian's explanation, he suddenly realized. As a branch family, regardless of how much resources they had, compared to the main clan headquarters, they were all extremely scarce. Therefore, Ouyang Xiaoloong's talent was indeed very impressive, and it was also very important to the Tianyang City Ouyang family.1
As long as Ouyang Xiaoloong successfully entered the headquarters, when his cultivation becomes stronger, his status would also increase greatly, and perhaps, the entire Tianyang City would be transferred to the headquarters. To a certain extent, Ouyang Xiaoloong's life, would already be linked to the fate and future of the Tianyang City's Ouyang family.
Just as Nie Zhen was thinking, Ouyang Xitian said: "But even if there is no such factor, everyone is concerned about Xiaolong's life, in truth, no matter who is in the clan, everyone will be concerned about him. In terms of fighting strength, our Ouyang Clan might not be better than the others, but in terms of unity, I'm afraid in terms of Ouyang Clan, I dare to say that we are number two, and no one will dare to say that we are number one! This is also the reason why our clan is able to be ranked first among the top three sects! "
Other than Zuo Clan, Nie Clan, and the Yun family clan, the publicly recognized strongest clan was Ouyang Clan. The reason was not that Ouyang Clan could actually surpass the other six great clans in terms of strength, but because Ouyang Clan was surprisingly united.
Along the way, the main things they talked about was Nie Zhen and Ouyang Xitian, Ouyang Xitian introduced the Ouyang Clan situation to Nie Zhen, while Nie Zhen told them some of his past experiences, of course, some of the more secretive things, such as the true identities of the few great Divine Beast, and things related to the Asura Divine Spell, such as the trump cards of Nie Zhen, were not leaked, and as the conversation continued for a long time, the two of them actually started to understand each other's feelings.
Ouyang Xitian admired the fact that Nie Zhen was able to continuously break through bottlenecks like the Three Great Empires, and even killed his way into the Xuanyuan Divine Kingdom till now. Although he had yet to lay his foundation for the Xuanyuan Divine Kingdom, according to Ouyang Xitian's judgement, Nie Zhen's talent was extremely outstanding.
At the same time, Nie Zhen also admired Ouyang Xitian. Logically speaking, even though he had saved Ouyang Xiaoloong and helped them, Ouyang Xitian himself could still be considered to be grateful, but he actually even introduced him to many things related to Ouyang Clan.
According to Ouyang Xitian, there were a lot of things that were hard to say. Even if Nie Zhen were to enter the Nie Clan in the future, he would become an enemy of the Ouyang Clan, which was also nothing.
Nie Zhen also expressed admiration for Ouyang Xitian's open-mindedness, and Nie Zhen strongly agreed with his views.
Those who are really capable, don't focus on limiting the enemy and instead think of ways to increase their cultivation. Therefore, Nie Zhen was not interested in Nie Changhong's behavior and even detested him.
The banquet was hosted by Ouyang Xitian, and Nie Zhen was seated at the second seat. As for the other higher ups of the Ouyang Family who were accompanying them, the atmosphere of the banquet was extremely harmonious, and although everyone knew of Nie Zhen's identity, they were very tactful and did not mention anything about it at the banquet. Most of the topics in the conversation were about Nie Zhen's cultivation and alchemy, which also helped Nie Zhen avoid some awkwardness.
After three rounds of drinking, Ouyang Xitian suddenly remembered that Nie Zhen had planned to use the Transmission Formation to leave for the Feiyao City, so he asked Nie Zhen with a smile: "Brother Nie, I suddenly remembered that you were planning to go to the Feiyao City, what are your plans?"
Ouyang Xitian wasn't asking about it specifically, he was just asking out of curiosity.
Nie Zhen didn't have anything to say, so he truthfully said: "Actually, my goal this time isn't the Feiyao City, I just want to depart from the Feiyao City and head towards the Eternal Mountain Range."
Ouyang Xitian stroked his beard and nodded to Liu Tie: "Eternal Mountain Range... I heard that a kind of Universe Unusual Fire will appear in the Eternal Mountain Range soon. As an alchemist, Brother Nie, you must have had your eyes on that flame, right? "
Nie Zhen nodded and admitted that this news wasn't private. Normally, the surrounding forces would all be able to get some information about it. Even the remote Monkey King Mountain knew of this news. It wasn't strange for Ouyang Xitian and the others to know about it.
Hearing their conversation, the Head Elder interrupted, "This time, the appearance of the Eternal Mountain Range's' Heavenly Flame 'seems to send people from several second-rate sects. I'm afraid the competition will be quite big. Brother Nie, you have to be careful."
Nie Zhen pondered and said, "Is there only a second-rate sect? I thought top sects, or even top sects, would have experts appear. "
Ouyang Xitian laughed and said, "Brother Nie may have had some misunderstandings about the natural fire. In fact, the natural fire may be precious, but for cultivators, especially non-fire attributed cultivators, it is not necessary. Cultivators with certain attributes, such as the wood element, the water element, and so on, would be harmful if they ingest the natural fire. Many experts from the large sects will personally go deal with the fire spirit beasts and refine out their inner flames. The strength of these fire beasts may be even stronger than the natural ones because there are many people and experts in the large sects and they also have the experience to refine the fire beasts. Therefore, they do not need to wait for the bitter flames to appear.
Nie Zhen nodded. Without the participation of those top sects, the pressure on his mission this time would be much less.
At this time, Ouyang Xitian said to Nie Zhen, "Brother Nie, when these types of flames appear, they themselves will be extremely hot. If the cultivator does not have any methods, it is very possible that he will not be able to refine them, and instead, they will be burned by the flames. Therefore, when refining the flames, he will prepare some extremely cold things, and the moment before refining, he will freeze the flames and greatly weaken their offensive strength.
Nie Zhen was surprised for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I didn't prepare this kind of thing, is there such a thing?"
Nie Zhen rejoiced in his heart. It was fortunate that Ouyang Xitian reminded him otherwise, he would have rushed to the Eternal Mountain Range in a daze. At that time, even if there was a chance, he would not be able to refine the flames.
At this time, the Second Elder said thoughtfully: "An extremely cold thing... It is said that this time, they will auction a pot of water type spirit water called: Gang-less Cold Dew. This kind of water is an extremely cold thing, if Brother Nie, before you refine the flame, you would pour the Gongzi Cold Dew onto the flame, I'm afraid that it would greatly weaken its strength, and you would be able to succeed!
