The Invincible Corruption Manual

After she  finally completed channeling the spell in her hands, she shouted, "My Extreme Fire Essence qi, Come Forth." And then a white color fire suddenly appeared above his hands. Just after it appeared, the surrounding temperature rapidly started falling at an instance.

Joey also exclaimed with surprise, "Ah, a tier 9 alchemist essence Fire!" An odd sensation of chilling swept through his body.

"Right, I am an alchemist like you. Heeheehee, that looks of yours, so handsome. Are you that surprised? I heard that you are the champion of this term's Open Alchemy Test and you could even summon a tier 9 alchemist essence fire. After hearing that I have been dreaming of exchanging a move with you with my essence fire. Quickly, summon your essence qi." She said in a manly voice that she had disguised herself.

"Fine, it is natural for us alchemists to fight with fires." Joey then began chanting a mantra in Sanskrit and finally shouted, "Yogic Yang Essence fire, come forth!" Then soon, an azure color suddenly set ablaze on his hands. It then began changing to another eight colors one by one and kept changing. After that, the surrounding area, which was currently at a freezing state, began to raise its temperature soon.

"Wow, that is a super quality alchemy essence, indeed. But, why can't I exactly figure out its tier? Hmm, is it really a tier 9 essence flame or maybe above? I have never seen such an essence fire even among those tier 10 essence fires before. Fine, I will figure it out after exchanging a blow with his flame anyway. " She thought in her mind.

"Brother Joey, be prepared." She warned him and threw her white fireball toward him.

Joey also threw his Nine Colors Yogic Yang Essence Flame toward the incoming white fireball.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom.......

A deafening booming sound of the explosion echoed inside the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

"Brother Joey, you win this one." She announced her defeat after the whole ruckus of the explosion quieted down.

"I think it's a draw," Joey responded.

"Really, look at that place it was where I stood before." She pointed her forefinger toward a large pit a bit farther from them.

Joey looked at it too.

"Hey, your Alchemy Essence Flame has won over mine. So, as an alchemist, I accepted my loss." She responded with a smile and continued speaking, "Brother Joey, I am not a person to go back on my words. Since you have won this duel, I will tell your where exactly Yuwen Tai is right now, "

"Go to the easternmost side of this Sect. There you will reach a large lake. Yumen Tai is currently inside that lake. Then, bye," She said in the man's voice and tried to leave that place.

"Wait!" Joey shouted, he then continued asking, "You are not the real Gu Gujeng. Who really are you?"

"Oh, heehee, now it has become a bit more interesting. If I am not Gu Gujing, then you tell me who really I am?" She giggled and asked at him in a mischievous manner.

"Miss, stop playing with me anymore. Why are you doing this? " Joey asked again.

"Oh, you finally figured it out. Then, it doesn't need anymore." She said, waved her sleeve and suddenly she transformed into a voluptuous curvy lady. She wore a greenish Daoist robe, with a Chinese floral embroidered white veil covering her face.

"Heehee, brother Joey, you are so sharp. How do you even figure out that I am not a man?" She asked while chuckling.

"That is easy, you have given out every clue just after our interaction. You call yourself 'this lady' casually like it is very natural. And the last but very important clue is your way of calling the Sect master, you didn't even use any honorific and the way you called his name is like you are talking about some insignificant ant, not really will be the case even if you betray him as a disciple. So, it's your turn now. Tell me exactly who you really are. Have we met before? Are you following me?" Joey responded patiently and asked a series of questions to her as he had a feeling that she seemed to be a bit familiar to him.

"Oh! Have we met before? Ehh, I don't think so." She denied him with her words but her eyes looking at him in a playful way gave out her true answer.

"Hey, have you forgotten about your original intention for coming here? Or have you already been smitten by my beauty? Hee hee hee, too late boy, you rejected me a moment before." She reminded him and spoke narcissistically while praising herself in a joke.

Joey frowned when he heard her words for the first time.

"Boy, I will remember today's matter of how you rejected me. We will meet again soon. Next time we meet, be prepared. I will not be nicer than this one. Heeheehee, bye-bye handsome boy." She said while walking around Joey while checking Joey's body in and out and she suddenly disappeared into the thin air.

The moment She was just about to disappear, her long silky black hair which was cascading like a waterfall suddenly lifted up either by inertia at the moment and Joey happened to spot a snake tattoo on the back of her neck and suddenly remembered the street food vendor's old lady in the Seven Star Sect during the event of the Open Alchemy Contest and he got a glimpse of something.

"Who really is she? And why really are you following me? Fine, next time I meet you I will force you everything from your own mouth. Things have become a bit problematic these few days. Sister Ai, why are you not responding to me? If she is active then she would have warned me about those hidden experts stalking behind me. What a drag! I should curry favor with her with more delicious meat this time." Joey murmured to himself.
