Chapter 668: Xiao Huo Advances to Rank 6

What others considered rare and valuable could be easily obtained from Inferno Monk.

Inferno Monk’s magic treasure, the crescent edge shovel destroyed itself to break Yan Shenjun’s formation, which allowed them to escape. The fire crystal-like Buddha beads that previously hung around Inferno Monk’s neck were gone too.

Lin Jin later learned that to perform the Inferno Sprint, Inferno Monk had sacrificed the string of Buddha beads he had been nourishing for three hundred years.

It was due to this that Inferno Monk ended up in such a battered state after he performed the escaping spell. Had Lin Jin not barged into that realm, Inferno Monk wouldn’t have realized the realm was flawed. He could very well have died in Yan Shenjun’s hands.

The Buddha beads were made of the nine sun quartz that Lin Jin was looking for.

There were a hundred and eight beads in total, and when Lin Jin learned about this, his heart ached. For the sake of obtaining a single nine sun quartz, he crossed an endless landscape and underwent all kinds of torture the universe could throw at him.

And yet, Inferno Monk sacrificed a hundred and eight nine sun quartz when he performed his Inferno Sprint once.

In Lin Jin’s opinion, Inferno Monk was way too wasteful when it came to conserving these precious babies.

Though, even he had to admit that Inferno Sprint was an astounding spell that ultimately saved their lives.

These were random thoughts that arose in Lin Jin’s mind. It was by chance that Lin Jin became acquainted with Inferno Monk. According to the latter, Lin Jin could have as many nine sun quartz as he wanted.

Subsequently, Inferno Monk rummaged through his sleeve to produce a nine sun quartz bead.

“See, I crafted this one recently. I intended to make a bracelet with it, but things happened and I forgot about this. Here, if you need it, just take it. If one isn’t enough, I’ll get my stash of Buddha beads from my cave and you can pick whichever you need.”

Inferno Monk was a generous fellow. Lin Jin accepted the nine sun quartz with great excitement. Everything else might as well be empty promises, but this nine sun quartz was real and it was in front of him.

One was enough.

The blazing pill was crafted by Xiang Yun and she made him more than one pill. With the nine sun quartz in hand, Xiao Huo’s advancement to Rank 6 was merely a matter of time.

Lin Jin didn’t want to wait for even a second longer.

He wanted to promote Xiao Huo to Rank 6 now. Only this way could he check the requirements for a Rank 7 evolution.

Like a multi-layer maze, he had to enter the next level before he could see the one after that.

“Xiao Huo!” called Lin Jin gently. An ember emerged from his arm before taking on the form of a fire wolf.

This was Inferno Monk and Xiang Yun’s first time seeing Lin Jin’s fire wolf. Although they could tell Xiao Huo wasn’t particularly strong, the spell that allowed him to merge with Lin Jin’s body awed them.

Like always, Xiao Huo had a body full of flaming fur. Since they were both of fire attributes, Inferno Monk took an immediate liking to this little wolf.

“I see this wolf is nicely taken care of by his owner!”

Lin Jin gently patted Xiao Huo’s head before he fed the blazing pill and nine sun quartz to Xiao Huo.

This was the method prescribed by the museum for Xiao Huo’s Rank 6 evolution. Since Lin Jin had already gathered the necessary materials, he only needed to witness the process thereafter.

After swallowing the blazing pill and nine sun quartz, embers lit up on Xiao Huo’s body.

Not only that, but Xiao Huo also grew in size. After growing into his large wolf form, his fur turned into pure flames.

“Great Scott! He’s breaking through to the next realm!” As a profound immortal, Inferno Monk could tell that much. After a moment of silence, he chuckled and blew out a small string of green flames.

Lin Jin’s keen eyes told him this was a type of exotic fire. It was similar to the green blaze under Maple City, but this one was clearly of a much higher grade.

After all, it came from a profound immortal.

“I love fire cultivators, but there aren’t many left in this world. Even less are those who manage to reach this level. Since fate has brought us together, let me offer you a chance encounter. You can have this dark jade flame.”

Having said that, Inferno Monk flicked his fingers.

The ball of green flames flew toward Xiao Huo, entering his body.

Lin Jin thanked Inferno Monk at once. He could tell that the old monk was helping him. That ball of green fire was not to be underestimated. While Xiao Huo was evolving, it could enhance his quality, allowing the wolf to grow in strength, as well as evolutionary potential.

With this, Xiao Huo’s subsequent evolutions would be much smoother.

“Don’t mention it. It’s nothing at all.” Inferno Monk didn’t take the credit as he still felt indebted to Lin Jin. After all, the young man did save his life.

Originally, the flames on Xiao Huo’s body were a mix of bright green and crimson. Now, there was a hint of jade green, and amidst the myriad fire sources, there were three exotic fire variants.

One was green blaze, the second was phoenix fire, and now, there was the dark jade flame. After advancing to Rank 6, Xiao Huo’s combat ability would be superior to those on the same rank. In Lin Jin’s opinion, he would have no issue battling a half immortal. So long as they didn’t meet a profound immortal, the chances of victory were high!

Rumble!

The flames on Xiao Huo’s body tumbled and began to spread. Most of the woods around them were scorched and even Lin Jin and the others had to move away temporarily.

Then, they saw an ember of tribulation consolidating on Xiao Huo’s head.

The next instant, a fireball appeared in the sky and it came crashing down on Xiao Huo. This would have been enough to eliminate a half immortal, but Xiao Huo opened his mouth and everyone watched him swallow the fireball.

Was the tribulation overcome?

Through their blood pact, Lin Jin could sense a tenfold increase in Xiao Huo’s strength. No doubt, Xiao Huo had evolved.

A Rank 6 fire wolf. Xiao Huo was perhaps the first fire wolf to ever achieve this rank. This was an unprecedented development. Despite his excitement, Lin Jin knew this was only the beginning of his journey.

The sudden rise in strength must be unrivaled, right?

No. Lin Jin still felt he wouldn’t stand a chance against Yan Shenjun, not even with the help of Inferno Monk and Xiang Yun.

Not to mention the ultimate boss, the Rank 9 immortal devouring beast.

Hence, this wasn’t the time for Lin Jin to celebrate yet. He had to continue working hard.
