When Feng Qianxue and Ouyang Haotian turned around, they saw Qin Yichen walking towards them with a faint smile.
“It’s you!” After a moment’s thought, Ouyang Haotian recognised Qin Yichen.
Of course, he did not remember Qin Yichen as a person. He just remembers the Pill Formula – that was what left a deep impression on him.
The Heaven Fire Gathering Pill was better than he had imagined.
However, when Feng Qianxue saw it was Qin Yichen, her delicate brows furrowed.
Clearly, Qin Yichen had not left a good impression on her. Especially since he appeared at this moment, it seemed even more suspicious, as if he was following them.
“Oh?” Upon getting closer, Ouyang Haotian discovered that Qin Yichen had already reached Partially Accomplished Spirit Realm, which surprised him.
This was merely mild surprise though, not enough to truly move him.
After all, he and Qin Yichen were not far apart in age, but his cultivation level was far beyond what Qin Yichen could hope to reach.
However, Qin Yichen’s rate of advancement was indeed unexpected.
From their last meeting until now, less than a year had passed, yet Qin Yichen had advanced to Partially Accomplished Spirit Realm during that time. Even he had not progressed that quickly when he was Qin Yichen’s age.
“Haiz…” Feng Qianxue’s attitude made Qin Yichen sigh, but his face showed no particular reaction as he asked. “Are you two heading into the Extreme Flame Zone?”
“Don’t tell me you’re going in too?” Ouyang Haotian’s lips curved into a slight smile, his words clearly carrying a strong mockery to it, essentially saying Qin Yichen was overestimating himself.
“What else.” Qin Yichen acted as if he had not heard the implication of Ouyang Haotian’s words, and approached with apparent enthusiasm, “These are the Pills I’ve refined, I hope they’ll be useful to the both of you.”
He handed over two Triple Clearance Pills and two Flame Repellent Pills.
Ouyang Haotian was initially dismissive, but upon seeing the appearance of the Triple Clearance Pills, and considering that Qin Yichen was the one who had provided the Heaven Fire Gathering Pill Formula, he accepted them.
“You can take the Flame Repellent Pills first, then you won’t need to expend your Yuan Energy to resist the Burning Poison entering your body,” Qin Yichen pointed at the Flame Repellent Pills and advised them.
“Oh?” Ouyang Haotian was half-skeptical, and after glancing at Qin Yichen, he did not immediately take the Flame Repellent Pill, but instead handed one to Feng Qianxue beside him,
“Here, Qianxue, you try it.”
This action immediately caused Qin Yichen’s expression to darken, and he almost wanted to attack him.
Seemingly, Ouyang Haotian was showing concern for Feng Qianxue, but in reality, he was worried the Pill might be problematic and was using her to test it.
As for Feng Qianxue, that fool was moved to tears by this.
“It really works, Brother Haotian.” Feng Qianxue said excitedly after a moment.
Only after confirming she had no issues did Ouyang Haotian take the Flame Repellent Pill.
Its miraculous effects surprised him once again.
“Then what does this pill do?” Ouyang Haotian could not help but ask curiously, pointing at the Triple Clearance Pill.
“It heals injuries and dispels the Burning Poison.” Qin Yichen looked elsewhere, afraid he might not be able to control himself if he saw Ouyang Haotian’s face.
He knew clearly that at present, he was no match for Ouyang Haotian.
Still, being at close range, he could sense the changes in Feng Qianxue’s aura. Her aura had become more intense. This was a sign that her Fire Phoenix Martial Soul was about to awaken.
This could not have been purely due to taking Heaven Fire Gathering Pills; Ouyang Haotian must have given her something else.
Because while the Heaven Fire Gathering Pill appeared to be a great Fire Attribute supplement, Qin Yichen had actually added some ingredients to suppress the Fire Attribute.
In fact, if Feng Qianxue had not been continuously taking the Heaven Fire Gathering Pills, her Martial Soul would have awakened already!
Things had taken a huge turn.
Once Feng Qianxue’s Fire Phoenix Martial Soul awakens, Ouyang Haotian would definitely attempt to steal her Martial Soul.
However, even if Qin Yichen revealed Ouyang Haotian’s intentions now, Feng Qianxue absolutely would not believe him.
Fortunately, Qin Yichen had encountered them just in time. Otherwise, Feng Qianxue would suffer the same tragedy as she did in his previous life.
“Since we share the same destination, why don’t I accompany you both? This way, I can provide you with any Pills you might need, free of charge.” Qin Yichen forced a friendly smile and said to them.
When his peripheral vision caught Feng Qianxue, his pupils held an unfading tenderness to it. In his previous life, it was she who awakened him from his daze. It was she who taught him what feelings and love were.
In his previous life, she had given him so much. In this life, what did it matter if he had to endure some discomfort now?
Just thinking about the events of his previous life made Qin Yichen’s heart ach. He wanted nothing more than to hold Feng Qianxue in his arms and protect her.
“Very well!” Ouyang Haotian agreed.
Only a fool would refuse someone offering free Pills. As for Qin Yichen’s feelings for Feng Qianxue, he had actually noticed all along, but he did not care.
Feng Qianxue was peerlessly beautiful, attracting attention was normal. However, in Ouyang Haotian’s eyes, Feng Qianxue was merely a tool he could discard at any time.
Feng Qianxue did not say anything.
Because so far, everything Qin Yichen had done was without asking for anything in return, and even someone as slow as her could sense his goodwill towards her.
And so, the three entered the Extreme Flame Zone.
The Extreme Flame Zone was like a massive furnace – not just Martial Grandmaster, even Spirit Realm experts would find it uncomfortable to stand there.
Resisting the Burning Poison and scorching heat was already difficult enough, killing Flame Demons was even more challenging. This was why so few people had obtained Noble titles through this.
Before long, the three encountered a Flame Demon.
Qin Yichen finally saw what a Flame Demon looked like.
The Flame Demon was two to three meters tall, appearing as if formed from magma, completely red. Its purple-black eyes that looked like Demon pupils were particularly intimidating.
Its legs were similar to that of Humans, but its arms were two scarlet whips, longer than its body. They would be dragged on the ground and left deep marks.
Just standing there, it made the surrounding air several degrees hotter, and visible waves of heat rippled out from where it stood.
*Hiss!* The Flame Demon discovered them and immediately lashed its scarlet whips at them.
“Vile creature, you dare show your might before me!?” Ouyang Haotian coldly scolded, leaping up and drawing a long sword carrying cyan energy to it, slashing at the Flame Demon.
