The reason why Xingyuan did not choose a spirit furnace during the reward collection period was naturally because he looked down on the low-level spirit furnaces in the treasure house of his own Magic Temple.

Although as Yue Mingnan said, even the lowest level spirit furnace can increase Xingyuan's strength by more than 20% at this stage.

It’s just that Xingyuan wanted to look further into the future, because he felt that he was qualified to own a better spirit furnace and didn’t want to settle for less at this time.

Of course, when explaining this to his teammates who had doubts about this, Xingyuan would naturally have to speak as tactfully as possible.

Therefore, Xingyuan attributed the reason to the poor conditions in the Magic Temple, and the few spirit furnaces available for selection were not suitable for him.

"So that's how it is..."

Chen Ying'er seemed to be hesitant to talk, apparently she saw a very good quality earth-type spirit furnace on another earth-type magician.

But after thinking about it, she decided not to say it out loud, because she felt that Xingyuan must have his own plans, and she was also worried that she would talk too much and cause the other party to be disgusted.

"Yes, it is like that."

Xingyuan didn't want his own affairs to take up too much of the team's time, so he directly put a final seal on this oolong incident that was accidentally caused.

"Well, let's get back to the topic..."

"Wait a minute, Boss. I have something to ask you too."

This time, it was Yue Mingnan who interrupted Xingyuan.

She was seen lying on the stone table, leaning half of her body towards Xingyuan and curiously asked, "When did you get the spirit furnace?"

"do not know."

Xingyuan shook his head. After all, he couldn't answer that he would wait until the precious land of your priest's temple, the dream paradise, opened, right?

"Let me make it clear first. I'm really not jealous. And I'm just asking this. It all depends on what you think, Captain..."

Yue Mingnan seemed to feel that what she was about to say was not very good, so she kept repeating the same thing, fearing that her meaning would be misinterpreted.

"No need to beat around the bush. You and everyone are old acquaintances. Just say whatever you want to say."

Xingyuan had more or less guessed what Yue Mingnan was going to say to him, and he looked at her quietly, waiting for her next words.

"Since you said so, Captain..."

After hearing Xingyuan's words, the last trace of hesitation in Yue Mingnan's eyes completely disappeared.

She suddenly stood up from her seat, bent down, and knocked her head on the table. "Captain, you are well-informed and knowledgeable. You should also know how the spirit furnaces in the treasure pavilions of various temples are replenished, right?"

"I know."

Xingyuan nodded, and looking at Yuemingnan who looked very sincere, he couldn't help but say, "Speak nicely, I know what you mean."

After all, the treasure houses of the various temples in the Temple Alliance are more like warehouse goods than treasures.

Take for example the 'spiritual weapon' that Long Haochen obtained from the treasure house of their Knights' Temple, the Blue Rain Hibiscus of Light.

Why would such a good piece of equipment be sent to the treasure house to gather dust instead of continuing to shine on the battlefield and kill the invading demons together with a powerful knight?

The reason is that as a spiritual weapon, it is too picky and strength alone cannot gain its recognition. Otherwise, how could it fall into Long Haochen's hands?
The same goes for the spirit furnace. It's not that the Magic Temple can't give Xingyuan a better earth-type spirit furnace, but a top-level spirit furnace like this one, in order to make the best use of it, will definitely not be allowed to be left without an owner.

As the master of the Magic Temple, Li Zhengzhi certainly hopes that Xingyuan, whom he has placed high hopes on, can have a better spirit furnace.

But he couldn't dig out the spirit furnaces that had been absorbed by the elders of his own temple and give them to Xingyuan just for Xingyuan, right?

Do you still remember the Yancheng Spirit Furnace that Lin Chen suggested Xingyuan to choose?
Xingyuan had always suspected that the spirit furnace was one that Li Zhengzhi had put in there specifically for him to choose from, but he had no evidence...

Return to the first meeting of the No. 1 Class Demon Hunting Group.

"Captain, I also want to sign a contract with you like Sister Li Xin's."

After Yue Mingnan finished speaking, he also explained, "I am the second lowest in our team in terms of cultivation, and I don't want to fall behind and hold everyone back."

Seeing that Li Xin, who was at the bottom of the team, was about to possess a powerful cultivation tool like a spirit furnace, Yue Mingnan also felt a strong sense of crisis.

After all, her talent for cultivation is not much better than Li Xin's. It's just that before she signed up for this year's Demon Hunting Team selection, she practiced much harder than Li Xin, which is why she now has several levels of spiritual power higher than the other party.

But if Li Xin has a spirit furnace and she doesn't...

If you are not careful, your little "lead" might be caught up by the opponent in an instant, or even overtaken.

Who says girls don’t have a competitive spirit?
Especially in the Holy Demon Continent, which has a spiritual power training system, the competitive spirit of women of the same profession and similar age is far beyond imagination.

"……you."

If it were in the past, Yue Mingnan and Li Xin could come to Xingyuan to ask for the spirit furnace to improve their strength, he would definitely be eager to do so, and would deliver the furnace to their door and also bring a guardian to prevent them from going astray.

only……

The atmosphere in the team seems a little weird.

This made Xingyuan have to be cautious and he did not readily agree to Yue Mingnan's request.

"I know my request is presumptuous. After all, you yourself have a need for a spirit furnace..."

Yue Mingnan also noticed Xingyuan's hesitation. She thought for a moment and continued, "Please rest assured, Captain. I have information about other ways to obtain the spirit furnace. However, it involves the secrets of our own temple, so I can only tell you.

...Of course, the deputy head of the group can also say that."

Cai'er blinked and didn't say anything. She just turned her head to look at Xingyuan's face, wanting to know what he was thinking.
After all, Yue Mingnan is also very good-looking, and her personality is much more interesting than hers...

Is she going to tell me information about Dream Paradise?
Yue Mingnan was the third contestant of the Priest Temple during the selection competition. She also said that she was training at the headquarters of the Priest Temple...

So Xingyuan was not too surprised when she knew that Dream Paradise was about to open.

But if it was this kind of 'old information', there was no need to tell him.

"Since it is a secret of your priest temple, don't use it as a bargaining chip."

Xingyuan put his finger to his lips and made a hushing sound, interrupting Yue Mingnan who was still trying to bring out his "chips" to prove his sincerity.

"Actually, I don't need you to exchange things with me. After all, I can't use these spirit furnaces. Giving them to you is also to improve the strength of the team." (End of this chapter)
