The third spot is for Ma Weiwei, a martial arts fanatic.

Just as Xiao Ming was checking his information, a surprised voice suddenly rang out from the main entrance, "Brother Xiao, you’ve successfully advanced?"

Xiao Ming swept his divine sense and found that Li Yunxiao had arrived at his door at some point, staring at his room with a look of astonishment.

However, Li Yunxiao was quite aware of boundaries; he only stopped at the main entrance and did not step inside.

At the same time, the commotion caused by Xiao Ming’s advancement also attracted curious attention from various parts of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Closing his attribute panel, Xiao Ming said with a chuckle, "I’ve had some insights in my recent cultivation, and I was fortunate enough to advance to the Divine Sea Realm Great Perfection."

"Good, very good!" After receiving Xiao Ming’s personal confirmation, Li Yunxiao became even more delighted and said, "The Fire Domain Grotto-heaven is about to open. We will depart tomorrow morning."

"I won't disturb your cultivation. You should stabilize your Cultivation Level first. We can talk more tomorrow."

"Alright," Xiao Ming replied.

Li Yunxiao, excitedly rubbing his hands, cheerfully left Xiao Ming’s residence.

He was well aware of Xiao Ming’s strength!

Whether it was saving Li Jianshi or defeating Li Yankun in a very short time right in front of him, it all proved Xiao Ming’s power.

When Xiao Ming was in the Late Stage of the Divine Sea Realm, he could already cut down a Yuqi Realm expert. Now that his Cultivation Level had advanced further, reaching the Great Perfection Cultivation Level, his strength would undoubtedly surge significantly!

This way, the possibility of dominating the Fire Domain Grotto-heaven became even greater!

Li Yunxiao had a hunch that Lingxiao City would surely acquire an unprecedented abundance of resources from this trip to the Fire Domain Grotto-heaven!

Even if half of the acquired resources were given to Xiao Ming, it would still be enough for Lingxiao City.

After sensing Li Yunxiao’s departure, Xiao Ming closed his eyes again.

Just as Li Yunxiao said, he needed to slightly consolidate his Cultivation Level and adapt to his newfound combat power.

Time passed bit by bit.

Soon, the next day arrived.

Early in the morning, Xiao Ming left his residence and arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion hall.

Inside the hall, Li Yunxiao and others had long been waiting.

Upon entering the hall, Xiao Ming looked around and found that besides Li Yunxiao and Li Jianshi, there was also a young and beautiful woman.

This woman was tall and in her early twenties. In terms of beauty and figure, she was no less than Li Jianshi, and perhaps even possessed more charm.

If Li Jianshi was compared to a pure and charming cute girl, then this woman was a cool and aloof older sister.

Besides her attractive appearance, this woman’s Cultivation Level was also quite astonishing.

She had already reached the Divine Sea Realm Great Perfection and was subtly touching the Half-Step Royal Qi Realm.

Upon seeing Xiao Ming’s arrival, Li Yunxiao immediately smiled and introduced him to the tall woman, "Weiwei, this is Xiao Ming, Brother Xiao, whom I mentioned to you."

"Brother Xiao’s strength is quite astonishing; he can cut down a Yuqi Realm expert with Divine Sea Realm strength."

"Quite terrifying!"

Upon hearing this, the tall woman immediately cast an intense gaze at Xiao Ming, filled with great interest, and at the same time, a hint of eagerness appeared on her face.

"City Lord Li, who is this?" Xiao Ming asked, puzzled.

"Oh, her name is Ma Weiwei. She is my niece and Jianshi’s elder cousin," Li Yunxiao explained with a smile. "Weiwei’s strength is also quite formidable; she can also challenge those of higher Cultivation Levels."

"This trip to the Fire Domain Grotto-heaven will be represented by the three of you from Lingxiao City."

Xiao Ming nodded.

At this moment, Li Jianshi, who was beside him, said with a smile, "Elder Cousin could have advanced to the Half-Step Royal Qi Realm a long time ago, but in order to enter the Fire Domain Grotto-heaven, she forcibly suppressed her Cultivation Level, always keeping herself at the Divine Sea Realm Great Perfection."

"But as long as she wants to, she can become a Half-Step Royal Qi expert like Elder He at any time."

"Little Sister Jianshi is exaggerating; I’m not that powerful," Ma Weiwei shook her head somewhat modestly, then looked at Xiao Ming and said, "I heard that Young Master Xiao possesses the means to slay Yuqi Realm experts. If you have time, shall we spar?"

"Alright!"

Xiao Ming smiled faintly.

He had secretly observed Ma Weiwei’s situation; Ma Weiwei’s luck was quite good, also purple luck.

This indicated that she was also a cultivation genius, no wonder she possessed the strength to contend for the Half-Step Royal Qi Realm at such a young age.

And after hearing Xiao Ming accept the challenge, Ma Weiwei’s fighting spirit became even higher.

It was clear that this woman was a martial arts fanatic who loved to fight.

"Alright, alright, let’s talk about sparring later. What we need to do now is unite against the outside, first deal with the people from Ziguang City and Sunset City, and bring out all the cultivation resources from the Fire Domain," Li Yunxiao said, then looked up at the sky.

He continued, "By my reckoning, there isn’t much time left until the Fire Domain Grotto-heaven opens."

"We must hurry over."

With that, Li Yunxiao walked out of the hall and into the City Lord’s Mansion courtyard.

Before long, an array flying ship flew over from the side, which was the very one Xiao Ming had sold to Lingxiao City.

"Let’s go, everyone get on board, we’re departing now!" Li Yunxiao urged.

Luo Zhen and the others obeyed, flying up one after another and boarding the flying ship.

Soon, the array flying ship was activated, and a phantom wing appeared on each side of the hull. Then, the wings flapped fiercely, propelling the flying ship like an arrow shot from a bow, soaring towards the distant sky.

The flying ship flew rapidly through the sky, the wind whistling past their ears.

Inside the cabin, Li Yunxiao looked at Xiao Ming and the others, and said gravely, "Every trip to the Fire Domain has involved fierce battles. You must be careful."

"Ziguang City’s strength is weaker, so it’s not a concern, but Sunset City is more troublesome."

"According to past situations, among Sunset City’s three disciples, there must also be powerful individuals like Ma Weiwei who forcibly suppressed their Cultivation Levels. You must not be careless."

"I understand, Uncle, don’t worry!" Ma Weiwei said boldly.

Xiao Ming and Li Jianshi also nodded, indicating their understanding.

"Weiwei, your attitude isn’t very good," Li Yunxiao, however, frowned and said, "In any battle, the most taboo thing is to underestimate your opponent, because there are too many examples in the cultivation world of martial artists who were too arrogant and conceited, only to be counter-killed."

"However, with Brother Xiao accompanying us on this trip to the Fire Domain, I feel at ease."

After saying that, Li Yunxiao looked at Xiao Ming and said solemnly, "Brother Xiao, the safety of Jianshi and Weiwei is entirely up to you. I’m counting on you!"

After these words were spoken, Xiao Ming showed no reaction, but Ma Weiwei said indignantly, "Uncle, aren’t you underestimating me too much?!"

"I’ve lived in the City of Chaos since I was a child. I’ve experienced countless intrigues and bloody battles since I was young. Although the Fire Domain trip is a bit dangerous, it’s no big deal for me at all!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ming’s eyebrows couldn’t help but twitch.

Ma Weiwei was from the City of Chaos?

Isn’t that a coincidence?!

He was planning to go to the City of Chaos to search for tai xuan gang jade after exploring the Fire Domain, and now he had met Ma Weiwei, a native of the City of Chaos.

What a fate!
