Chapter 371: 【291】Integrate Karmic Fire! Beast Master Opportunity! (Three Updates for Monthly Tickets and Recommendations)_1
[Mutation Direction 1: Red Lotus Fire Chain (Within a fifty-meter range, you shall be the master of the Red Lotus, forming chains of fire. The number of fire chains depends on the limit of your spiritual power.)]
[Mutation Direction 2: Red Lotus Industry Fire (Within a fifty-meter range, you shall be the master of the Red Lotus, incinerating everything.)]
Pei Jinye didn’t hesitate and chose the Red Lotus Industry Fire.
The”Mixed Yuan Twelve Lotuses”operated at breakneck speeds, almost reaching its limit.
Pei Jinye shoved Flame Essence into his mouth as if it cost him nothing.
The hard-as-stone Flame Essence, once in his mouth, was like crunchy chocolate beans, quickly digested and absorbed, rapidly replenishing and restoring his body with surging energy.
As the Earth’s Heart Fire Lotus was completely absorbed, Pei Jinye let out a long breath. The high temperature of the Earth’s Heart Fire Lotus even caused him to go through a transformation akin to shedding skin.
“Lucky for me, I can regenerate flesh and blood. Otherwise, with this ghostly appearance, I’d have no other fate than being squashed if I went out.”
Pei Jinye was just about to conclude his practice.
Only then did he notice with astonishment that the two and a half Golden Lotuses above his head had already condensed into a third one.
What was even more bizarre,
was that these three Golden Lotuses seemed to have undergone some change, with Karmic Fire faintly accompanying them…
“Should I call them Golden Lotuses, or Red Lotuses now?”
Pei Jinye realized that the three lotuses above his head, while enjoying the vitality boost from the Golden Lotus, could also attack with Karmic Fire.
The destructive power of the Red Lotus Industry Fire, coupled with the augmentation of eight times Elemental Power, was already terrifying.
Pei Jinye carefully recalled… Elder Chang of the Bronze Association’s Blood Lotus was not as precious as his own, and its eruptive power was purely bolstered by the volume of vitality.
If it really came to a battle between equals, Pei Jinye was not afraid.
But the problem was, even at the brink of death last time, he had not been able to truly test Old Thief Chang’s full capabilities.
Looking at the traces around him, Pei Jinye raised his palm; the Industry Fire spread, instantly erasing all traces on the spot.
When he returned to the forest, more than forty minutes had passed.
Ouyang Lianyi raised her eyebrows as she saw Pei Jinye appear and said, “You finally decided to come back? I thought you fell into a pit.”
“Did you find it? Or was there a mistake?” Pei Jinye “kindly” asked.
Ouyang Lianyi rolled her eyes at him, “There’s no possibility of a mistake in the information; most likely, someone else got there first.”
“That’s too bad,” Pei Jinye sighed.
“It’s fine for me; I just wanted to broaden my horizons. The angry ones are probably the Lei Family or the Huang Family,” Ouyang Lianyi said with a half-smile.
Pei Jinye pondered.
There was no mention of this in Huang Tianbao’s memories.
“Why?”
“What else could it be?” Ouyang Lianyi said with a light laugh: “The Earth’s Heart Fire Lotus is related to whether the fierce beasts raised by those two families can evolve…”
As she spoke, Ouyang Lianyi pondered, “This place has traces of Sixth Rank creatures… Strange, where have they all gone?”
Pei Jinye pretended not to hear and said softly, “I promised to come with you before, and now I have, but you haven’t mentioned what for. I’ve walked the path I should, and it’s time to say goodbye. Farewell.”
Ouyang Lianyi looked at him with a peculiar gaze, not angry at Pei Jinye’s sudden departure, and simply let him go.
“Miss?”
A middle-aged man in a black robe looked at Ouyang Lianyi, inquiring.
Ouyang Lianyi shook her head, “Are all those who followed dead?”
“Yes, Miss.”
“He really is a harbinger of disaster,” said Ouyang Lianyi, hardly able to suppress her admiration, “Did the Old Dragon King take him as a disciple just because of his ill-starred traits? Isn’t he worried about digging his own grave?”
The black-robed middle-aged man said in a low voice, “I followed him for a while, but he must have detected me. He left this leaf for me.”
Ouyang Lianyi picked up the leaf and looked it over, an ordinary leaf at first glance, but upon discovering something, she couldn’t help but curse with a laugh, “This damn kid.”
She returned the leaf to the middle-aged man, “There are characters on it; this kid is seriously cunning.”
The black-robed middle-aged man looked once more at the leaf in his hand.
At the base of the leaf, he faintly made out three characters… Gewen.
Suddenly, he was covered in sweat.
“Let’s pull back.”
Ouyang Lianyi led the team to retreat from the magma ruins and encountered the sweaty, seemingly drunk Song Que head-on.
“Find anything?” Ouyang Lianyi asked.
Song Que’s head felt fuzzy: “Saw a lake, an old man with a white beard made me drink a jug of wine with him. He didn’t say his name, I thought he was pretty powerful, so I stole his wine jug, but he found out and he actually set a dog on me.”
Ouyang Lianyi listened calmly, then suddenly asked, “How many dogs?”
“One dog, but it had three heads, Miss. Strange, isn’t it?” Song Que said, clutching his head, feeling bewildered.
The black-robed middle-aged man beside him had already widened his eyes, stuttering, “The Hell Three-Headed Dog? Has it come into the world too?”
Ouyang Lianyi narrowed her eyes, “Although we can’t confirm the identity of that old gentleman, we can be sure that you indeed caught his attention… With that, we can head back too.”
“Go back?” The middle-aged man in the black robe looked anxious, “Miss, are you not going to search for your opportunity anymore?”
Song Que also shook his head, feeling dizzy: “Where’s my big brother?”
He pointed at the ruins around them.
“Big brother almost got eaten by a dragon just before… Xie Hong, yes, that old guy’s here as well.”
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Lianyi immediately stopped in her tracks, “You mean, he’s been here with you?”
“Yeah.” Song Que touched his reddened face and nodded vigorously.
Ouyang Lianyi could not help but laugh out of frustration. “He really fooled me, putting on an innocent face. That little guy has a dirty mind.”
She looked at Song Que and asked again, “How did you guys end up here?”
“A white-haired female demon head captured us and brought us here, don’t know why, she started fighting with the big dragon in the pond, we took the chance to run during the chaos.” Song Que scratched his head, somewhat recollecting, “And Xie Hong, that fellow actually became the Judge for the Huang Family. I thought he was willing to be a servant for the Huang family for good, seems it’s not that simple.”
Ouyang Lianyi listened to his disjointed words, her brow slightly furrowing.
The black-robed middle-aged man hurriedly asked, “Miss, could it be that Central State’s person took the Earth’s Heart Fire Lotus?”
“Not necessarily, Xie Hong is also here, and he’s a veteran martial artist whose strength is not to be underestimated.” Ouyang Lianyi pondered, “Let’s leave this place first.”
She glanced at the magma, a sense of foreboding in her heart.
The black-robed middle-aged man had no choice but to agree with a nod.
After walking a few steps, Song Que thudded to the ground on his knees, overwhelmed by drunkenness, completely incapacitated at this moment.
The black-robed middle-aged man looked questioningly at Ouyang Lianyi.
Ouyang Lianyi waved her hand, calmly said, “Have someone carry him, let’s get out of here first.”
…
Ten minutes later.
Pei Jinye stood on the edge of a cliff, clutching at the overwhelmingly strong Sword Intent.
And opposite him.
A giant Flying Eagle glared at him, its eyes sharp, seething with a desire to kill.
That day he casually stood with one hand in his pocket, his words sincere.
“Do you feel like adventuring out with me?”
“I won’t lie, I have a friend named Guo’er, and he has an eagle too, but it’s not as big as you. Follow me, and you won’t lose out.”
“…Relax, we both have a bright future ahead of us.”
