Xiao Yifei had a sudden idea, and said to the two, "Don't worry, I'll go get it for you now."

As soon as he spoke, Xiao Yifei moved his body, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the mountainside. He casually grabbed two handfuls of volcanic mud and returned at the same speed before the two servants even realized it.

"Here, this is the face mask." Xiao Yifei showed the two lumps of mud in his hand to the two servants.

Seeing what Xiao Yifei held, both showed an expression of disgust: "Isn't this just mud? How can you be so unreliable, do you really take us for fools?" After saying that, they were about to withdraw the fire membrane back onto themselves.

Xiao Yifei hurriedly explained, "Fools, this is a volcanic mud mask, a premium among face masks. The rich minerals contained in it are enough to rejuvenate your old faces. I usually don't tell just anyone. Since you don't want it, just forget it. Anyway, I'll keep it for the young girls to use. This thing, once applied, works like a charm, and a moment of beauty is worth a thousand gold."

Xiao Yifei smacked his lips, feigning a look of regret: "What a pity, you two won't get to experience it. Go on, put that useless thing back on. To be honest, I don't really care for it."

Hearing Xiao Yifei's introduction, the two servants almost drooled, their faces full of greed, quickly changing their tone: "No, no, no, Brother Xiao Yifei, it's just out of caution, don't take it to heart. We'll put the fire membrane on you right away."

With that, the two servants recited an incantation and put the fire membrane on Xiao Yifei. He instantly felt a warm aura spreading to every corner of his body, and the external high temperature was isolated. Plus, inside the fire membrane, it was humid and gleaming, without the dryness from before.

This fire membrane is really something good, Xiao Yifei sighed, casually smearing the mud onto the two servants' faces: "Put it on, wash it off with clean water after fifteen minutes, and I guarantee you'll have a girlfriend tonight."

Hearing this, the two servants hurriedly thanked him, nodding and bowing to Xiao Yifei, wishing they could shed their Xiao Family lineage and join the Xiao Family.

In the meantime, the three of them had already arrived at the foot of the Holy Mountain. Originally, this Sunburn Sacred Mountain was the most majestic volcano of the volcanic group that Xiao Yifei had seen when they first came to the Xiao Family. Standing at the foot of the mountain, they saw thick black smoke emerging from the mouth of the volcano, and the temperature suddenly rose. Even with the protection of the fire membrane, Xiao Yifei still found the heat unbearable.

"Is this the Holy Mountain? Besides its height, it doesn't seem that special," Xiao Yifei wiped the sweat from his temple and released his Qi to survey the Holy Mountain.

Just as Xiao Yifei's Qi moved upwards from the foot of the mountain, a majestic and deep voice suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Who dares to challenge the might of the Xiao Family!"

At the same time, a light purple shield rose on the mountainside of the Holy Mountain, repelling all the Qi Xiao Yifei released. He was violently struck back, sent flying and crashing heavily into the mountain rock behind him. Fortunately, the volcanic rock was somewhat soft, preventing too much harm, though it still left a large crater in the rock from the impact.

Xiao Yifei let out a muffled groan and stood up. Every stone on the Holy Mountain was beginning to emit a light purple mist. Xiao Yifei focused and found it wasn't mist, but rising purple flames. The sound of dull horns, like the roar of beasts, came from all directions.

The stones appeared to grow crystals, each reflecting and shining with bright purple light, like the sun itself. A heavy sense of majesty spread out, as if several large mountains were pressing down on him. Xiao Yifei had never felt so pressured, not even when facing Xiao Zhentian and the four elders the previous night.

Xiao Yifei let out a low growl, and his whole body's strength began to surge, fighting against the intangible pressure. But as soon as he engaged it, Xiao Yifei was overpowered, his legs involuntarily bending, crashing to his knees with a thud.

This is the Sunburn Sacred Mountain, truly extraordinary! Xiao Yifei thought to himself.

Following the brief upheaval, the Holy Mountain before him transformed from an unknown volcano to a mountain entirely enveloped in glowing purple Holy Light, inspiring awe and reverence.

The two servants, seeing this, hurriedly employed the Xiao Family's Cultivation Technique, kneeling at the foot of the Holy Mountain, prostrating themselves. They muttered, "We are descendants of the Xiao Family, and mean no offense by coming to the Holy Mountain this time. We hope Master Qilin will not hold it against us, the juniors salute."

Saying that, the two servants began kowtowing frantically toward the Holy Mountain. The Holy Mountain seemed to respond, withdrawing the pressure from upon them and focusing it on Xiao Yifei. He only felt every fiber of his being filled with numbness, and the scene before his eyes started to blur.

The pressure from the Xiao Family's Holy Mountain was truly overwhelming.

Meanwhile, in the Xiao Family's meeting room, everyone was seated around the round table as if they felt this surge of Qi. Xiao Zhentian spoke, "The Holy Mountain has opened, let the foolish boy enter. Kuner, after the contest, you can enter the Holy Mountain to train. This time, you must learn the Sun Flame Sacred Fire."

"Yes!" Xiao Jukun nodded solemnly.

In the resting area, the other contestants also noticed this anomaly and looked toward the Holy Mountain with eyes full of reverence and anticipation.

Among the crowd stood two people, Zhang Po and Chang Wei. After Xiao Yifei headed to the Holy Mountain, the Xiao Family unexpectedly didn't continue to suppress them. At this moment, the two stood among the crowd, looking up at the mountain with worried expressions.

"Xiao Yifei, hang in there, come back alive."

Seeing that the purpose of this trip had been answered and the Holy Mountain had opened, the two servants stood up and said to Xiao Yifei, "The entrance to the Holy Mountain is at the volcano's crater at the summit. With our strength, we can only take you this far; the rest is up to you. Take care of yourself."

But by this time, Xiao Yifei was nearly unconscious. The pressure from the Holy Mountain sealed off all his meridians, causing his internal Qi to solidify to the point he couldn't mobilize it at all. He could only rely on the toughness of his body to stubbornly resist, leaving him no time to address the two servants' words.

Xiao Yifei gritted his teeth, blood vessels prominent in his eyes, and the pores on his skin began to ooze fine blood threads. If the Holy Mountain didn't release the pressure on Xiao Yifei soon, he would likely be crushed to pieces.

The two servants, seeing Xiao Yifei's dire state, didn't seem surprised, only showing a trace of pity before quickly leaving the foot of the mountain. It seemed like those who died here under the Holy Mountain's pressure were not few.

The inability to operate the Qi within him meant that Xiao Yifei couldn't use it to repair his damaged body. Unable to fix himself, he could only helplessly watch as he crumbled bit by bit.

In desperation, Xiao Yifei attempted to call upon the Biwei Silver Needle within himself. In response, fourteen needles indeed answered, emitting a glowing green light within his body.
