20: chill

Ten Thousand Monster Forest.

Not long after Qin Jiang left, a staggering figure appeared in the stone house.

"Qin Jiang, Ye Linger, just you wait!!!"

The voice was full of hatred.

Naturally, it was Xiao Fan.

He was thrown off the peak by black dragon, but luckily, he was caught by a tree, which saved him from falling to his death.

But he was also seriously injured, with broken bones and torn muscles.

After resting for a while, he saw Qin Jiang and the others fly away. Unwilling to give up, he climbed back up the peak and returned to the cave.

As soon as he entered the stone house, a wave of fire hit him. Xiao Fan took a deep breath, his face full of exhilaration.

This was the environment that the Fire God Body liked the most.

What surprised him even more was that there were still many spiritual herbs in the stone house, all of which were fire-attributed.

"Qin Jiang didn't take them all?"

Xiao Fan was a little surprised.

He jogged over and carefully identified each spiritual herb, his expression growing more joyful. Of course, he also saw some uneven pits, and his face instantly turned gloomy.

"It seems these spiritual herbs were ones he didn't fancy. Damn it, the spiritual herbs he dug up must be even more precious!!!"

He clenched his fists, his face full of unwillingness.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and sneered:

"Qin Jiang definitely wouldn't have thought I'd come back. In my hands, these spiritual herbs can unleash effects far beyond their value!

Hehe, Qin Jiang, just wait, I will definitely get my revenge!

And Ye Linger, you actually betrayed me. Sooner or later, I will make you regret it. By then, I want you to kneel before me and beg me..."

Xiao Fan roared in a low voice, venting for a long time.

After calming down, he looked at the surrounding spiritual herbs and muttered:

"I need to take them away as quickly as possible. Maybe Qin Jiang will come back."

Thinking of Qin Jiang, Xiao Fan's heart trembled. Unconsciously, a hint of fear arose towards Qin Jiang.

Not daring to delay, he immediately began to dig.

After working busily for most of the night, he finally collected all the spiritual herbs. He walked to the pool in the center of the stone house and frowned slightly. He didn't know why, but he always felt that something had already left him.

Xiao Fan squatted down and touched the pool water. It was already icy cold, with no abnormalities.

He shook his head, no longer delaying, and quietly left the stone house.

...

Qingcheng Town.

Qin Jiang and Ye Linger...

...

On the other side, Xiao Fan, far from the treasure spot, found a hidden cave.

He excitedly took out the spiritual herbs. The fire attribute rushed towards him, making Xiao Fan reveal an expression of enjoyment.

"These spiritual herbs are simply tailor-made for me."

Xiao Fan muttered, then showed an expression of resentment:

"If it weren't for Qin Jiang, I would have gotten even more. By then, my strength would definitely have increased greatly. Damn it!

It's all Qin Jiang's fault!"

His hatred for Qin Jiang grew stronger and stronger.

After a while, his mood gradually calmed down. He looked at the spiritual herbs before him, and a wisp of flame actually appeared on his body. The flame enveloped the spiritual herbs...

Gradually, it was clearly visible that the spiritual herbs became more extended, and their age seemed to have increased significantly. But upon reaching an extreme, the spiritual herbs gradually decomposed into pure energy, scattered within the flames.

As the spiritual herbs completely dissipated, Xiao Fan withdrew the flame:

"Comfortable!

This cultivation method is simply too comfortable!"

A smile appeared on his face. With just one spiritual herb, his Realm had improved a bit, at least comparable to half a month of arduous cultivation.

"I still need to continue. This bit of power is too far behind Qin Jiang!"

Xiao Fan took a deep breath and directly took out ten spiritual herbs. Now, he didn't care about the stability of his Foundation; he only wanted to surpass Qin Jiang as quickly as possible.

"Continue refining!"

Ten spiritual herbs were simultaneously enveloped by flames. Xiao Fan's face was slightly pale, appearing somewhat ferocious under the illumination of the flames.

Majestic energy continuously surged into his body, making Xiao Fan's body somewhat unable to bear it. Under the impact of these forces, his skin faintly showed some cracks.

But he gritted his teeth tightly, continuously refining the power.

As more and more power was refined by Xiao Fan, he also breathed a sigh of relief. However...

Just when he thought he was about to successfully refine it, a force of extreme cold actually appeared within his body. In an instant, this force spread out.

"Cold energy?

How could there be cold energy in my body?"

Xiao Fan was greatly shocked!

He was the Fire God Body, a Physique of extreme intensity and yang. What kind of cold energy could invade his body?

Xiao Fan's face was pale. The invasion of cold energy actually made his Fire God Body somewhat restless. Furthermore, the energy that surged into his body had not been completely refined.

For a time, his body was in chaos.

"Damn it!

What's going on?"

Xiao Fan was in a panic. The Fire God Body was almost out of control, seemingly sensing a threat and automatically counterattacking the cold energy.

Feeling this scene, Xiao Fan breathed a sigh of relief. He temporarily ignored the cold energy in his body and turned to refine the rampant energy within, supplying it for the Fire God Body's use.

But immediately after, he discovered that as the energy was continuously refined, that cold energy actually became denser and denser.

"No, this cold energy..."

He was greatly alarmed, his face turning ugly:

"The cold energy comes from these spiritual herbs!!!"

"It must be Qin Jiang. It's Qin Jiang's doing. He deliberately left these spiritual herbs just to harm me!

Ah ah ah ah! Qin Jiang, you deserve to die!

Ye Linger must have also been involved. Only she would understand me so well and know I wouldn't be willing to leave and would go back. It must be her scheme. Bitch, you deserve to die!!!"

Xiao Fan's face was ferocious, he had almost lost his mind.

The intense pain in his body and the madness in his mind were about to make Xiao Fan collapse.

As his situation became worse and worse, the power of the Fire God Body also completely erupted. Like a sharp knife cutting through tangled hemp, a burst of explosive flames directly enveloped Xiao Fan.

Burning intensely.

It was not only burning the cold energy, but also burning Xiao Fan...
