"What's the matter? Looking at you, you want to keep the four fire seeds to yourself?"
Zi Lingsha's rebuking voice startled Qin Shi. Qin Shi was startled and scratched his head awkwardly. He laughed dryly. "Why would I do that? Does anyone who sees it get a share? Let's look for it first and then we'll split the spoils. Is that okay?"
"That's more like it."
Zi Lingsha snorted arrogantly. Then, she did not look for it anymore. She clasped her fingers and pointed ahead. "There, the chaotic black flames."
"Hmm?"
Qin Shi frowned and looked over. Indeed, although Han Long's corpse was already rotten and could not be seen clearly, the black flames were very obvious. They danced on the pile of corpses.
Qin Shi carefully removed the chaotic black flames and used his soul and spiritual energy to seal it. He could not help but ask curiously, "I've been here for a long time, but I did not feel the fluctuations of the chaotic black flames. How did you find it so quickly?"
"Hehe, did you think of it?"
Zi Lingsha mischievously kept him in suspense, but after arousing Qin Shi's curiosity, she suddenly swung her long hair in a mischievous manner, "I won't tell you, the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed!"
"…!"
The corner of Qin Shi's eye twitched. It was not because of Zi Lingsha's teasing. It was just that he did not expect Zi Lingsha to have such a pure and innocent side.
Since Zi Lingsha did not say, Qin Shi did not bother to ask. He was more concerned about the whereabouts of the other three fire seeds. He said, "Then it's fine if you don't tell me. I'll leave the locations of the other three fire seeds to you."
"Ah?" Zi Lingsha screamed and stared at Qin Shi indignantly. "Do you think I'm a deity?
These fire seeds are very intelligent. The reason why I could find the chaotic black flames just now was because Han Long planted the Spirit Sealing Grass in me and used the chaotic black flames to disperse it. Therefore, there was a lot of the smell of the Spirit Sealing Grass in the chaotic black flames. That's why I could find it!!! "
"Is that so?"
Qin Shi was suddenly enlightened, and then he smiled strangely, "Good, so this is the Heaven's Secret you were talking about?
Now you've revealed the secrets of heaven. "
"I can't be bothered with you. In any case, I can't find the other three fire seeds. You should be the one looking for them."
"Why me?"
"That's because you're a Talisman Magician. Have you forgotten where the Four Great Fire Seeds come from?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Shi paused for a moment. Soon after, he seemed to have thought of something as he focused his black eyes. "Are you talking about Huang Beasts?"
Zi Lingsha nodded her head with a smile, "Yes, a ferocious beast is still a wild beast. It's just that it's a spirit. If you didn't have the Chaotic Black Flame, it would be impossible for you to find the other three fire seeds with your soul power. However, it's different now. You have the Chaotic Black Flame. You should know that the four ancient beasts are related by blood. As long as you use your soul power and the aura of the Chaotic Black Flame, it's not impossible for you to lure the other three fire seeds out."
"There's such a thing?"
It was Qin Shi's first time hearing that the four ancient beasts were related. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Then, I'll try!"
Qin Shi held his breath and raised his palm, splitting the Chaotic Black Flame into two. Then, he tried to use his mind power to activate the Chaotic Black Flame.
"Buzz!"
After a while, the Chaotic Black Flame suddenly became violent and struggled in Qin Shi's hand. The heat was extremely fierce, and Qin Shi couldn't help but frown.
"Don't stop, it's working. Make it louder so that the other three fire seeds can be lured out!" Zi Lingsha said hurriedly.
Hearing this, Qin Shi's face darkened, and he cursed Zi Lingsha in his heart. Don't stop?
Yes, in any case, you're not the one suffering. But he clenched his teeth and held on.
The Chaotic Black Flame was absolutely terrifying. After experiencing a few unexpected incidents, he deeply realized that his strength was insufficient. Now, whether it was his spiritual force or soul force, they were both stuck at a bottleneck. It wasn't suitable for him to make another breakthrough. Thus, if he wanted to become stronger, external forces would naturally be his first choice. Among all these external forces, the Chaotic Black Flame was the best.
The Chaotic Black Flame was like an evil dragon, crazily smashing into Qin Shi. He felt like his entire body was about to be torn apart. If it wasn't for the dozens of Sweet Pouring Raindrops Arrays in his body, he felt that he would have already been smashed to pieces. This wasn't an exaggeration at all. Some of the Chaotic Black Flame fell on some of the dried corpses. In an instant, Qin Shi personally saw those corpses turn into ashes.
Cold sweat appeared on Qin Shi's forehead. If he wasn't careful, he would end up like those corpses. Thinking of this, he hurriedly focused his mind.
But even so, he still felt that his internal organs were tumbling. They were constantly being torn apart and then healed. But after a few times, he inexplicably discovered that his body was actually strengthened in a short period of time.
"Hang in there. The black flame of chaos is extremely useful in strengthening the body. I've read about it in an ancient book. Rumor has it that training in the black flame of chaos for a day is equivalent to training in the outside world for a year. If you refine it to the extreme, you can even cultivate a unique dharma body, the body of chaos."
"Chaotic Lord Body?"
Under the high temperature, Qin Shi suddenly became more spirited. At least he knew that he wasn't suffering for nothing.
However, this burning sensation didn't last long. His forehead was already dripping with sweat. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore. He felt that if this continued, he would melt. Even with the Sweet Pouring Raindrops Array, it wouldn't be enough. He angrily shouted, "I say, is it good or not?!"
"Why are you so anxious? Wait a little longer!"
Zi Lingsha's silvery voice sounded relaxed.
Qin Shi was speechless. She wasn't the one suffering. But suddenly, three colorful lights flashed in his consciousness. Weren't those the colors of the other Three Vicious Flames?
And most importantly, the location of the three colorful lights. Instantly, Qin Shi was stunned.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and the black flame on his palm was directly dispersed by him. He angrily stared at Zi Lingsha. Zi Lingsha was looking at him with a smile. An indescribable anger surged up to his chest. He almost felt that he was going to vomit blood.
In Zi Lingsha's arms, there were three gentle fire seeds. They were white, gray, and blue. Weren't they the Three Vicious Flames?
Qin Shi reacted and said angrily, "You found them long ago??"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Zi Lingsha innocently smiled.
Qin Shi clenched his fists tightly, "You … You … You …!" He stammered for a long time but couldn't say another word.
She had obviously found them long ago, but she didn't tell him. She purposely made him suffer the pain of being burned. Wasn't she trying to trick him?
As if she could see Qin Shi's displeasure, Zi Lingsha pouted and said, "Alright, what's wrong? Are you really angry?
Aren't you a male chauvinist?
Don't you know that there's a saying that a good man doesn't fight with a woman? "
"I …!"
Qin Shi opened his mouth again, but he was speechless. He realized that Zi Lingsha's mouth was really vicious. He let out a deep breath and said, "Alright, you win!"
"Alright, I'm wrong, alright?
I'm doing it for your own good. Think about it, if it wasn't for the Three Vicious Flames, how could you have lasted so long in the Chaotic Black Flames?
Look at you now, isn't your body much stronger? "Zi Lingsha pinched Qin Shi's biceps and pretended to be admiring him.
"In that case, I should be thanking you instead, right?" Qin Shi shouted angrily. He was really impressed by Zi Lingsha's godly logic.
Zi Lingsha smiled awkwardly. She still looked indifferent. Qin Shi felt that there was nothing in her world that could make her serious. She spread her hands naturally and said, "Yes, in theory, it should be like this. It's good enough that I didn't ask you for a gratefulness fee. However, I'm not the kind of person who lacks money. Since you've performed so well, I won't argue with you."
"You …!"
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. At most, I'll give you a reward." Zi Lingsha blocked Qin Shi's mouth and stretched out her hand. "Here, for you."
Looking at the three jumping fire seeds in Zi Lingsha's hand, Qin Shi was stunned. This time, it was his turn to be shocked. "You, what do you mean?"
"I'm giving them to you as a reward. Is that okay?"
Zi Lingsha stuffed the fire seeds into Qin Shi's hand. Without giving Qin Shi a chance to refute, she said directly, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm a fickle person. Who knows, I might regret it later. So, you'd better keep these fire seeds before I regret it."
"This …!"
Qin Shi was suddenly speechless. His previous anger also dissipated. For a moment, he was stunned and didn't reach out to take the three fire seeds.
Although he longed for them, and although he was indeed angry, he had promised Zi Lingsha that the two of them would share the loot.
"Hurry up, don't waste time. Can't you act like a man?"
Zi Lingsha snorted unhappily. "I'll tell you the truth. My body is cold and I'm of the Yin attribute. I can't swallow the fire seeds."
"Then why did you negotiate with me before?"
"I just wanted to see your sincerity. But the result is still satisfactory."
Zi Lingsha laughed. Then, she turned around and left the three fire seeds beside Qin Shi.
Qin Shi stared at the three fire seeds in silence.
Although Zi Lingsha said it casually, Qin Shi was very clear about the value of the three fire seeds. An indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.
He didn't refuse. He really needed the three fire seeds. Therefore, he turned his palm over and put the three fire seeds into his sleeve. Then, he raised his head and said seriously, "This time, I'll take advantage of you. Next time, if there's a treasure of the Yin attribute, I'll give it to you."
"Then I'll remember it!"
Zi Lingsha smiled mischievously. However, no one noticed that when Qin Shi turned around, a trace of suppression and helplessness flashed across her lovable face that had always been relaxed.
"Qin Shi, become stronger. I don't want to die … I really don't want to die …!"
Those words stirred in Zi Lingsha's heart. Qin Shi didn't know about it. It wasn't until a few years later when he understood everything that he and Zi Lingsha were inextricably linked.
