Chapter 190: Chapter 190: The Festival of Holy Fire

A group of people suddenly became intensely curious about Xiao Zhan, and a few particularly curious ones who already lived in the core area immediately chose to follow behind to see if Xiao Zhan was really going to settle down there.

Xiao Zhan followed Huo Liuli deeper inside, the temperature rose higher making it more uncomfortable for everyone.

However, the temperature was within his bearable range, as he had predicted.

About ten minutes later, everyone arrived at the core area of the second district.

The houses here are standalone, much better than the row upon row of connected houses outside, and they also cater to comfort with plenty of green plants.

However, most of these plants are fiery red, completely different from those outside.

Xiao Zhan’s arrival naturally attracted the attention of the people here.

Among them, a muscular young man immediately came over when he saw them.

"Holy Daughter, what brings you here?"

It turned out he was addressing Huo Liuli; Xiao Zhan thought to himself that although he was charming, it wasn’t to the extent that men would flock to him too.

Huo Liuli seemed not too keen on dealing with him, casually responding to his query before turning to Xiao Zhan,

"Is this place okay?"

"Okay" was not asking if he liked the place, but whether he could withstand the Fire Energy here.

Of course, Xiao Zhan didn’t need to say much, the purity of Fire Energy here was about what he expected, and he could handle it.

He nodded, "This place is good, very suitable for me."

Seeing Xiao Zhan’s composed expression, Huo Liuli was somewhat surprised.

Can he really withstand it?

But she couldn’t be bothered to check if he was genuinely capable or just showing off, time would prove everything.

"There’s an empty room here, you guys can stay here. If you need anything, you can come to me. Also... the rooms in the corridor outside are also at your disposal at any time."

This statement somewhat reflected doubt in Xiao Zhan’s capability.

However, she didn’t explicitly say so, which spared Xiao Zhan’s face.

Xiao Zhan naturally noticed it, but he didn’t mind, smiling and saying, "Okay, thank you."

"Hm."

Huo Liuli hummed and then left.

As soon as she left, the muscular man followed her.

"Holy Daughter, why are you arranging them to the second district?"

"Holy Daughter, the Holy Fire Day is almost here, anything you want to tell me?"

"Holy Daughter, wait for me, don’t walk so fast..."

The voice faded into the distance.

Watching his eager back, Xiao Zhan knew this was another sycophant.

Then Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong entered the room.

Seeing this, the others dispersed, but those curious onlookers were greatly surprised at Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong.

It’s terrifying, only a few days and they can directly move into the core area of the second district.

This Fire Attribute talent, isn’t it even more fierce than the just mentioned Huo Li?

...

After Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong entered the room, they familiarized themselves with the surroundings and started to cultivate.

Indeed, the Fire Attribute Energy here was intense, much stronger than in the outer third district, choosing this place was somewhat Xiao Zhan showing off.

But this feat was still within his bearable limits, albeit just at the edge.

He deliberately made that choice.

Because he needed to rely on this extreme breakthrough to quickly enhance his own strength, he knew the environment he was in was not safe, with Huang Fei always lurking outside.

Of course, there was another reason for his desperate diligence — as he absorbed the Fire Attribute Energy, he found his understanding of the Spirit Manipulation Technique deepening.

Previously, it was but a flash of lightning, but now there were beginnings of understanding, and the speed of comprehension was accelerating.

Xiao Zhan estimated that if he could stay here for one to two months, he would be able to grasp the Fire Attribute’s Spirit Manipulation Technique.

He hurriedly sat down to cultivate. If he didn’t cultivate now, he wouldn’t be able to sleep well tonight due to the heat.

Thus, two more days passed.

Ye Youlong’s injuries had also nearly healed, needing just another day or two of rest to recover completely.

That evening, after dinner.

Xiao Zhan was preparing to check with Ye Youlong if their kidney functions were intact when suddenly, the sounds of festivities erupted outside.

Xiao Zhan pushed open the door and saw a blaze of fire shooting into the sky from the plaza in the second area, illuminating half the night sky.

"Brother, what’s happening?"

Xiao Zhan stopped someone to ask. Seeing everyone’s happy faces, could it be some good news?

The man, initially annoyed at being stopped, tempered his irritation upon recognizing Xiao Zhan.

"Brother, you’re a newcomer and always stay inside, so you don’t know. Today is our tribe’s Holy Fire Festival, a grand occasion held only every decade or several decades. Everyone in the tribe participates."

Holy Fire Festival?

Xiao Zhan remembered that on the day he moved here, a robust young man had mentioned this term.

He had thought it was just a regular festival, but it turned out to be held only every few decades?

That exaggerated?

"Brother, would you like to join us?" the man then asked.

"May I?"

"Of course, anyone in our tribe can participate, no matter who they are."

Xiao Zhan, intrigued by this, considered for a moment but then said, "Perhaps not. It’s your festival; I, as an outsider, should not intrude."

Although outsiders could participate, the key was that the only outsiders here were him and Ye Youlong. It would be awkward for just the two of them to go.

Moreover, as the man said, this festival, which is held only once every decade or more, must be very solemn.

If Xiao Zhan attended, it might cause some unforeseen issues.

However, the man then said with a smile, "Don’t be shy, what’s there to intrude? Festivals are more lively with more people. Besides, if you go, you can experience the Holy Fire Baptism."

"Holy Fire Baptism? What is that?"

The man chuckled proudly, "The Holy Fire is the origin of life for our tribe. Without the Holy Fire, there would be no tribe. Only those who undergo the Holy Fire Baptism can become strong."

"You’re lucky this time to catch the Holy Fire Festival. Previous outsiders hardly ever encountered it. It’s a rare opportunity."

"Make the most of it."

After speaking, the man hurriedly left.

Xiao Zhan reflected for a moment and then immediately returned to his room to speak with Ye Youlong.

"Did you hear all that? Want to go check it out?"

To be honest, Xiao Zhan was quite tempted.

Whether it was the Holy Fire Festival held only every few decades, or the so-called Holy Fire Baptism, he was greatly interested.

"It’s up to you, if you’re interested, let’s go. If you’re not, let’s not."
