Searching for the Heavenly Flame

Seeing Zi Yan's little foodie look, Xiao Ling couldn't help but smile.

Taking his eyes away from Zi Yan, Xiao Ling fixed his gaze on Qing Lin, sensing the auras on her body that did not belong to Qing Lin.

He asked Qing Lin with some curiosity, "Qing Lin, it looks like your Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupil has awakened, did you feel any discomfort when you subdued the snake monster?"

Hearing Xiao Ling's question, Qing Lin first smiled sweetly, then raised her two wrists, on which were hung six small snakes.

She replied to Xiao Ling: "Young Master's guess is correct. Qing Lin has now successfully awakened the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. These are all snake pets that have contracted with Qing Lin."

As Qing Lin's mind moved, the small snakes wrapped around Qing Lin's wrists fell to the ground, and their bodies gradually grew larger, returning to their original size.

According to Xiao Ling's investigation, there are four second-level snake monsters, one third-level snake monster, and a green phosphorus snake with a cultivation level of fourth level.

Touching Qing Lin's little head, Xiao Ling praised: "As expected of Qing Lin, now she can even subdue a fourth-level monster. Maybe I will have to ask Qing Lin to protect me in the future."

Hearing Xiao Ling's praise and feeling the warm touch on her head, Qing Lin lowered her head shyly. Her cheeks were already stained with a light blush, making her look very attractive.

She replied to Xiao Ling: "Then when Qing Lin becomes very strong, Qing Lin will protect the young master's safety."

Xiao Ling smiled slightly when he heard Qing Lin's reply. Although Qing Lin had the help of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupil, her cultivation speed must be very fast, it was completely incomparable to ordinary practitioners.

However, with foresight and the system lottery, Xiao Ling is confident that his strength will always remain above Qing Lin. Anyway, with the Flame Mantra, swallowing the Heavenly Flame to improve his cultivation, the speed of improvement is not something that ordinary people can match.

Shaking his head, Xiao Ling stopped thinking about these things, took his hand back from Qing Lin's head, and said to Zi Yan and Qing Lin: "Since you are all back, I have prepared the pill needed to devour the Heavenly Flame. Next, let's set off to find the Heavenly Flame hidden in the Tager Desert.

Hearing this, Qing Lin and Zi Yan nodded, indicating their agreement with Xiao Ling's arrangement.

With a slight nod, Xiao Ling called out Rayquaza, who had not been to work for a few days.

After saying a few words to his sleeves, the black Rayquaza emerged from Xiao Ling's sleeves and appeared in front of Xiao Ling and the other two.

Seeing Qing Lin's surprised look, Xiao Ling smiled and explained to Qing Lin: "Qing Lin, this should be the first time you see this guy. Its name is Rayquaza. It is a magical beast I trained and one of my best companions."

After listening to Xiao Ling's explanation, Qing Lin greeted Rayquaza and said, "Hello, Rayquaza, I am Qing Lin, the young master's sister."

Now that Rayquaza is a sixth-rank magical beast, his IQ is no different from that of humans. Naturally, he can understand Qinglin's words. He nodded, walked forward and rubbed Qing Lin's face to show his closeness to Qing Lin.

After introducing the Rayquaza to Qing Lin, Xiao Ling sat on it and said to Qing Lin and Zi Yan, "Qing Lin and Zi Yan, you should also sit on it. With Rayquaza's help, we can save a lot of time and energy in searching for the Heavenly Flame."

After hearing Xiao Ling's words, the two girls nodded. Zi Yan took Qing Lin's little hand, jumped lightly, and landed on the back of Rayquaza with Qing Lin.

Seeing that the three people had already sat on it, Rayquaza began to twist its body and flew into the air.

…

Standing on top of the Rayquaza, Xiao Ling took out the Heavenly Flame Map he got from Hai Bodong from the storage ring. He cast his eyes on the information depicted on it and saw three flame icons marked on the map. The locations of these three icons were where the Heavenly Flame was most likely to appear.

According to his recollection of the original plot, Xiao Ling thought about it and quickly remembered the location of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire, which was the eastern area of ​​Black Rock City.

Patting Rayquaza's head, Xiao Ling pointed to the east of Black Rock City and said to Rayquaza, "Rayquaza, fly in that direction."

Hearing Xiao Ling's instructions, Rayquaza nodded slightly, twisted his slender body with force, and his speed increased a bit. He broke through the clouds in front of him and flew towards the east of Black Rock City.

…

In the vast desert, yellow sand is raging.

Xiao Ling, Zi Yan and Qing Lin came to a flat desert and stopped.

"Xiao Ling, are you sure it's here?" Zi Yan looked at the flat desert in front of her with astonishment. The terrain here was extremely ordinary, without any features that could attract people's attention. There were almost countless flat sands like this in the vast desert. It was hard for Zi Yan to imagine that there were traces of "Heavenly Flame" in this inconspicuous place.

Xiao Ling put the map with the information about the Heavenly Flame into his ring, smiled noncommittally, and answered Zi Yan mysteriously: "Who said that the Heavenly Flame would definitely appear in the desert? Otherwise, it would have been discovered by someone long ago. Would it be our turn to look for it?"

Hearing this, Zi Yan scratched her head and said in confusion: "If it didn't appear in the desert, could it appear underground in the desert?"

Patting Zi Yan's little head, Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Congratulations, you guessed the correct answer, but it's a pity that there is no reward."

Taking back the hand that was stroking Zi Yan's little head, Xiao Ling squatted down, touched a piece of yellow sand under the ground, closed his eyes, and the soul perception power between his eyebrows spread out, and began to explore the situation under the ground.

Now that Xiao Ling's soul perception had reached the spiritual realm, the situation underground appeared in Xiao Ling's mind like a topographic map. Xiao Ling easily discovered the method to enter the underground magma world.

Xiao Ling withdrew his hand, stood up, and said to Qing Lin and Zi Yan: "I have found the passage to the underground, you come with me."

After walking for a distance in the north direction, the three of them arrived at a slightly concave sand area.

Xiao Ling activated his Dou Qi and with one palm he dispersed the sand dunes covering the cave entrance.

After the sand dunes covering the entrance of the cave were cleared, a hole about one and a half meters in size was blasted out in the sunken land. Glancing inside the hole, it was pitch black with a slightly hot air rising from it.
