Immortality and cultivation begin at age forty, starting with Foundation Establishment.

"Alright, stop hesitating, the beast fire is about to go out."

Yu Peiyao watched as the beast fire dwindled little by little, and she grew anxious.

With the opportunity presented to her, Yu Peiyao thought it was feasible more and more. Although she had never transplanted beast fire before, she felt that beast fire could definitely be transplanted into Zhu Fan.

Yu Peiyao was already thinking that after Zhu Fan successfully received the beast fire, she would receive a lot of rewards in the future, as if she could already see her path to the Golden Core.

They failed; all they need to do is have Chen An help Zhu Fan take care of his sister.

If successful, the Demon Wolf Legion will have another powerful weapon.

Chen Ying has already examined Zhu Fan's soul and found no trace of the old man in black. It should be that the old man in black had some of his memories imprinted on Zhu Fan's soul.

This part of the black-robed old man's memories, from his cultivation of demonic arts in his quest to become a god, resulted in the loss of his main consciousness. In addition, due to his low cultivation level and weak and fragile soul, he lost his autonomy after entering Zhu Fan's soul.

Zhu Fan's main consciousness, however, can recall the memories of the old man in black robes at crucial moments.

Perhaps even the old man in black robes didn't expect that his soul-binding secret technique wouldn't allow him to escape successfully, but instead enabled him to achieve a secret technique that only Nascent Soul cultivators could accomplish: soul memory imprinting.

The old man in black robes called himself a Void God, and he was indeed quite skilled. If it weren't for the fact that practicing demonic arts had damaged his mind, he probably would have had a real chance to break through to the Golden Core realm.

If the old man in black robes can reach the Golden Core realm, he will surely become a top expert in the Golden Core stage, proficient in various secret techniques, and then continue to explore the path to Nascent Soul.

Unfortunately, he perished at the Foundation Establishment stage, forever losing his qualification to become a god.

The black-robed old man's will to become stronger was passed down and left to Zhu Fan.

The memory imprint left by the old man in black robes will allow Zhu Fan to go further on the path of cultivation!

Zhu Fan is ready.

Chen An set up a barrier, allowing Yu Peiyao to use her secret technique.

Yu Peiyao didn't rush to get started. Instead, she told Zhu Fan about a secret technique for refining magical artifacts. This technique was a special one that bound the primordial spirit to the artifact.

Yu Peiyao used the beast fire as a magic tool.

They regarded Zhu Fan as a weapon refiner.

Let the two be linked together.

This is an ancient method for crafting natal magical artifacts, but due to the power of the beast fire, it has become a test comparable to death.

At one point, Chen Andu even considered interrupting the ceremony.

Yu Peiyao looks very confident, but she is only in the Qi Refining stage.

If they fail, the Demon Wolf Legion will lose another major fighting force.

Wu Feng and Wang Rulong must be dissatisfied with Chen Anxin.

Zhu Fan's strength is already quite strong for someone in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

It is estimated that even the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the new sects in the future will not be able to match Zhu Fan's strength.

More importantly, Chen An hadn't had a chance to pry out the soul-related secret techniques that Zhu Fan possessed.

After Yu Peiyao finished recounting the secrets of weapon forging,

Without giving Zhu Fan time to think, she used her spiritual power to slowly guide the flames toward Zhu Fan.

Zhu Fan then temporarily separated his primordial spirit from his physical body, simulating a binding ritual.

The instant of contact between souls.

It immediately started burning.

Seeing that something was wrong, Yu Peiyao severed Zhu Fan's soul and reforged it.

Contact, combustion, cutting off, combustion again

Over and over again, more than ten times.

Zhu Fan's soul was tormented beyond recognition.

However, Yu Peiyao finally succeeded.

The traces of the beast fire remained on Zhu Fan's arm.

The beast fire was completely extinguished.

Zhu Fan survived, the first step was completed. The next step was to conduct the experiment of rekindling the beast fire.

Yu Peiyao found a Qi Refining stage soul and placed it on the traces of beast fire.

Zhu Fan circulated his spiritual power.

A burning sensation came over me.

Black flames ignited, and the surrounding temperature plummeted.

Successful.

However, Zhu Fan needs to cut off another small piece of the soul.

The price to control beast fire is simply too high.

During the uninterrupted ritual, Zhu Fan's primordial spirit suffered great damage.

Moreover, each time he uses the Beast Fire in the future, he will damage his primordial spirit again.

Chen An took out the contract he had prepared beforehand and had Zhu Fan drip his own blood onto it.

Zhu Fan did not hesitate; this was something that had been agreed upon beforehand.

Without a contract, Zhu Fan would worry that Chen An and Yu Peiyao might abandon him.

Signing a contract at this time is not a constraint, but a sign of respect for Zhu Fan.

This contract is a special method that allows Zhu Fan to control the beast fire on his arm.

After the contract was signed, Chen An took out a third-tier pill from his storage bag and handed it to Zhu Fan.

"This is a Heart-Clearing and Detoxifying Pill. Although it cannot heal the damage to your primordial spirit, it is enough to alleviate the pain originating from it."

"In the days to come, Junior Brother Zhu should rest and recuperate."

The wounds to the primordial spirit cannot be repaired, but the pain in the primordial spirit will be relieved over time.

This injury may shorten Zhu Fan's lifespan by several decades or even hundreds of years, and will also reduce his chances of breaking through to the Golden Core stage in the future.

But it is not important.

Zhu Fan himself had no chance of breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

The existence of the beast fire made Zhu Fan stronger and gave him the opportunity to break through to the Golden Core stage. Although the chance of breaking through was smaller, it was still better than nothing.

The beast fire marks on Zhu Fan's arm were enough for him to survive the war. As long as Chen An himself was not in a life-or-death crisis, he would not let him die.

Wang Rulong, Wu Feng, and many Foundation Establishment cultivators sent in the future will definitely die before Zhu Fan.

"Sis, I made the right bet."

"I'm not a coward anymore."

"From now on, I'll protect you."

After the contract is signed, Zhu Fan and his sister will receive a generous reward.

To put Zhu Fan at ease, Chen An even promised to compensate him with a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Zhu Fan's favorability rating increased, and with this Foundation Establishment Pill, his sister also had a chance to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

After the war began, many of the rogue cultivators that Zhu Fan knew perished.

On the contrary, the Zhu family is getting better and better.

Chen Ying, a Golden Core cultivator who had been observing this scene, stared wide-eyed. She enveloped Zhu Fan with her divine sense and scanned his arm several times, but could not find a trace of beast fire.

"It's done."

"Is this the Yu family's weapon-refining technique?"

Chen Ying is a top-tier prodigy. On her cultivation path, she has never encountered any bottlenecks, and she doesn't even know what setbacks are.

This time, I saw many ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators rushing towards third-tier demonic beasts like moths to a flame, only to perish one by one.

What are they?

This only made Chen Ying feel a little grateful.

The death of the Foundation Establishment cultivator did not increase Chen Ying's favorability, but Chen An, who did nothing, impressed her.

Yu Peiyao is also very powerful. She can plant the beast fire that even Golden Core cultivators fear on a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Cultivation is incredibly difficult for ordinary cultivators.

If one day Zhu Fan really cultivates to the Golden Core realm and completely controls the power of the beast fire, how powerful would he be?

Within the Golden Core realm, are there still any rivals?

The beast fire has a root, which is the soul of a mutated demon beast. Now that the soul has burned away, only the mark on Zhu Fan's arm remains.

And this kind of mark cannot be replicated.

Even if others saw the beast fire with a burning soul, they could not replicate Yu Peiyao's weapon-refining technique, and even if they killed Zhu Fan, they could not strip away the beast fire.

The source of the Beast Fire can only be that third-tier canine beast.
