42: Xiao Fan got rich

Inside the Fire Flame Secret Realm.

The strongest Human Race squad immediately received the news.

The captain, Zhou Qingyang, looked at the three disappearing light dots on his electronic device, his eyes filled with hatred!

“The Thirteenth Squad, just now, completely annihilated.”

“Follow me for revenge!”

The four team members behind him did not hesitate, following Zhou Qingyang as the five sped towards the direction where the Thirteenth Squad had fallen!

But they hadn't flown far when a Common Blood Great Demon appeared before them.

Alone!

Zhou Qingyang frowned and roared, “Wait, something is wrong!”

The Great Demon looked at the five people in front of him. Logically, it should have been afraid, but at this moment, there was no ripple in its eyes.

Just then, Zhou Qingyang's heart suddenly pounded, because he saw several colors of light flashing in the Great Demon’s pupils.

He immediately roared, “Suspected Five-Colored Pupils!”

“Be careful!”

There were clearly no power fluctuations around, yet the five people hastily dodged.

At this moment.

“Sizzle!” A scarlet bloodline shot out from one person's arm.

He was just a hair's breadth away from losing that arm!

Then, the five quickly put on their psionic sunglasses.

As expected, after putting them on, Zhou Qingyang clearly saw that within a hundred-meter radius, there were only golden threads of death, connecting to the Great Demon’s hands!

“Xie Linqing!” Zhou Qingyang uttered the name coldly.

“Alas, was I seen through? Humans aren't all that stupid.”

The Great Demon sighed, its disguise gradually dissolving.

Finally, it transformed into a graceful figure.

The two green antlers on her head indicated that she was an Alien.

Her eyes, containing five colors, represented her identity.

Xie Linqing, Royal Blood, mutated race, Five-Colored Pupil Deer, Realm Fourth Stage Middle Stage, currently ranked Sixth on the Alien Prodigy List!

Her ability was golden threads that could sever anything. The specific Materials were unknown, but in short, do not touch them!

At this moment, the five-colored light in Xie Linqing's eyes flashed again.

Zhou Qingyang took a deep breath and said, “We cannot retreat!”

“If we retreat, more people will die by her hand!”

“The Young Lord has not yet fully controlled the Undying Fire, so he is not her opponent!”

“Let's fight a war of attrition!”

All members of the First Squad nodded, their eyes filled with determination!

...

Somewhere in the Secret Realm, Xiao Fan successfully absorbed a fire seed, opened his eyes, and walked out of the flames.

He raised his hand and looked at the slightly yellowish Earth Fire in his hand, his face full of embarrassment: “Truly… weak.”

He felt embarrassed just holding this flame, so he quickly put it away and hurried to find a few more fire seeds to fuse!

Suddenly, his body trembled. It turned out that his Realm had reached Martial Practitioner Ninth Level!

He had only broken through to Martial Practitioner Seventh Level a few days ago, and now he was at Ninth Level. As expected of the Ultimate Body Tempering Fluid!

However, the amount needed to go from Ninth Level to Little Grandmaster was massive!

Then… let the slaughter begin!

Lin Xianhuo casually found a place for Smelting Fire, but the effect was mediocre. Seeing Xiao Fan finish absorbing the fire seed, she also walked out.

“Fan, look at this, something seems to have happened.”

What she took out was a message sent by the First Squad.

Xiao Fan frowned and said, “Of our generation? Fourth Stage Middle Stage? Do Aliens Cultivate that fast?”

“Xie Linqing is twenty years old,” Lin Xianhuo explained.

Xiao Fan then breathed a sigh of relief, thinking why there was such a big gap between himself and others.

However, he was curious why this Alien’s name was Xie Linqing? So strange.

“Aliens name themselves very casually. Xie Linqing reportedly liked our Federal Eastern culture since she was young. Her original name seemed to be Luji, but she thought it was too ugly, so she changed it.”

“She’s quite particular.”

After a jest, Xiao Fan's eyes darkened and he said, “Then this is troublesome. I even suspect that to kill my elder brother-in-law, the other side sent more than one person from the Prodigy List.”

“We must speed up!”

“Let’s go!”

The Fire Flame Secret Realm was a bit larger than Xiao Fan had imagined. For the next few days, he didn't encounter any people or Alien Beasts.

On the electronic device, the approximate locations of other team members were indeed there, but after walking for three days, he had only covered less than half the distance.

Of course, it wasn't a full-speed dash, but rather picking up items while walking!

Xiao Fan struck it rich.

The Secret Realm had been in existence for so many years, and each time it opened, new fire seeds would be nurtured within!

But fire seeds below Five-Star were too weak, and no one ever took them. Basically, Xiao Fan could pick up one every hour or two of walking, mainly thanks to Immortal Fire’s Divine-Grade talent for automatic navigation!

It was too comfortable.

In three days, he picked up nearly forty One-Star fire seeds, over ten Two-Star fire seeds, two Three-Star, and finally managed to fuse a Five-Star fire seed, the Heavenly Walking Fire.

The star rating of elements was exactly the same as talents.

Five-Star was actually very weak.

For example, Lin Lianshen’s innate talent, the Undying Fire, was a Divine-Grade fire seed, but Divine-Grade didn't necessarily mean it was strong; it was only strong if it could be used. Look at Lin Lianshen, this elder brother-in-law is already a Little Grandmaster, yet he still can't easily use the Undying Fire, losing a significant portion of his combat power.

His own wife, Shao Yan, was even more formidable; the Dead Soul Fire was classified as a Myth-Grade flame, but let alone using it, she almost burned herself to death at birth.

So, it wasn't that a higher level was always better; everything had a gradual process of mastery.

However, Immortal Fire was quite unfortunate; her affinity and control over flames reached the Divine-Grade, but she didn't possess a fire seed herself. That's why the Demon War God gave her the Fire God Blade, to compensate for the lack of combat power without a fire seed.

Xiao Fan was quite satisfied with the Heavenly Walking Fire in his hand. His goal was to scour the entire Fire Flame Secret Realm and fuse a Seven-Star flame!

At this moment, Lin Xianhuo was looking at the electronic device boredly.

“Holy cow, my fire seed leveled up in the Second Stage Tempering Pool! My luck is explosive, right?!”

“Hehe, I killed a fire beast and got a Third Stage Fire Elemental Crystal!”

“What's so great about a Fire Elemental Crystal? My Heaven's Heart Fire leveled up to Venerable Rank in the Third Stage Tempering Pool!”

“What?! Third Stage can level up to Venerable Rank? You're not lying, are you?!”

“Pictures are proof!”

“Awesome! Envious!”

“...”

Everyone was sharing what they had obtained in this treasure-filled Fire Flame Secret Realm.

Lin Xianhuo, however, was helpless. She had gained nothing so far, and she didn't care for the things others wanted. She only wanted a Fourth Stage Tempering Pool to activate the second stage of her Fire God Blade!

Suddenly, a pinned message popped up!

“Discovered a Fourth Stage Tempering Pool! The fire seed is Flying Sand Fire! But it's guarded by a Fourth Stage accompanying fire beast, making it impossible to enter!”

Lin Xianhuo instantly became excited. As long as she tempered herself in the Tempering Pool for half a month, she should be able to form a closer connection with her Fire God Blade and activate its second stage!

Checking the location, it wasn't far from here!

“Let’s go!” Xiao Fan grinned, holding Lin Xianhuo's hand as they walked towards the Tempering Pool.

Along the way, he also conveniently picked up a few fire seeds.

At this time, there was already a squad outside the Tempering Pool.

The Fourteenth Squad, also a three-person squad, was the one who discovered the Tempering Pool.

The captain, Li Kai, frowned when he saw Xiao Fan, but then saw Miss Lin and immediately bowed, smiling, “Hello, Miss Lin.”

“Miss Lin, the accompanying fire beast of this Tempering Pool is too difficult to deal with; we can't get rid of it.”

“Please, Young Miss, make a move!”

Lin Xianhuo nodded slightly and said, “You all move aside.”

“Good luck.” Xiao Fan smiled as he watched Lin Xianhuo walk forward, his gaze sweeping over the Tempering Pool.

The pool's area should be about a hundred meters in circumference, with a Flying Sand Fire seed at its center. The flames of the entire pool were similar in color to sand, looking like a surging pile of sand.

A Tempering Pool was a phenomenon created by the intertwining of various flames. The Flying Sand Fire was the dominant fire seed among the intertwined flames at that time. It devoured other fire seeds, then occupied the Tempering Pool, tempering itself to level up its star rating.

The Fire Flame Secret Realm was a low-level Secret Realm, where the highest level of fire seeds was Seven-Star! The highest level of Tempering Pools was Fourth Stage!

Xiao Fan declared that he must obtain this Six-Star fire seed, the Flying Sand Fire, before him!
