Chen Fenghuo picked up a few of the cut flowers, brought them back to the table in the hall, and put them in a vase.

He put away his pruning tools and returned to the doorway. Looking out, he could see a white-haired girl squatting by the pool.

She was holding bait and casually scattering it into the pond.

Many golden-red carp swam over, opened their round mouths, and swallowed the small brown bait.

Dozens of fish jostled and crowded together, some even leaping out of the water to eat the bait mid-air.

With a splashing sound, Xi Heng collected the remaining bait and clapped his hands.

When she turned around, the fire fox, who was now up to her calves, accompanied her back to the hall.

"They seem to be feeding them too little?" Chen Fenghuo chatted casually at the door.

"As long as I don't starve to death, that's fine." Xi Heng hummed a song as he stepped across the threshold and smelled the aroma of food.

He glanced at the table and clicked his tongue, "Hmm, fish soup again?"

"We ate dragon meat last time, so let's keep it light this time," Chen Fenghuo nodded.

"I also want to eat braised tongue with soy sauce." The girl pouted.

A little over ten days ago, she took out sliced ​​tongue from her inventory as an ingredient.

The dragon tongue meat cooked by Chen Fenghuo was the most delicious food she had ever eaten in her past lives.

"We already finished eating last time, don't you remember?" the blonde woman next to her replied casually.

Xi Heng blinked, then remembered that he had indeed eaten a lot earlier.

Chen Fenghuo originally had some dragon meat left over, which he planned to cook next time, but Xi Heng pushed him to the kitchen halfway through.

"Tsk."

Now, she no longer has any sliced ​​dragon meat in her inventory.

If you want to cut the meat again, you have to summon the whole fresh dragon head.

However, the small Fire Prison Spirit Locking Array did not have such a large space for her to use.

Creating a dragon head out of thin air would cause quite a stir even in the cultivation world.

"How long will it be before I can eat your salsa again..." Xi Heng sighed softly, speaking with deep affection.

"He's only thinking about dragon meat," Chen Fenghuo said, shaking his head.

"I mainly want to eat the food you cook," the girl easily changed her tune, speaking gently.

"I'm thinking, there will eventually come a time when we part ways... After that, will we ever be able to reunite like this again?"

Chen Fenghuo picked up some spirit rice with his chopsticks and continued:

"Why think about these things? The crisis of resentment you mentioned is still many years away."

"Too."

Actually, Xi Heng was thinking about whether he should save his game now that he had developed good relationships with Yin Wanluan and Chen Fenghuo.

After successfully starting her Qi cultivation, she now has one save point.

However, he did not gain anything more after advancing to the middle and late stages of Qi Refining.

It seems that we can only add one more after advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Therefore, the opportunity to save your own game is extremely rare and will only become more and more difficult, so you should hesitate before using it.

Xi Heng has been thinking it over and over recently, and has decided to wait and see what happens in the future.

Perhaps one day in this life, she will encounter an opportunity to continuously acquire the most precious treasures of the Fiery Hell cultivation world, which she can then store in her records.

In short, I'm not going to think about it anymore.

She picked up her cutlery and slowly savored the delicious food Chen Fenghuo had prepared for her.

……

Xi Heng spent those ten months solely focused on cultivation.

As a result, her Qi cultivation level gradually increased, and she reached the ninth level of Qi cultivation more than ten days ago.

The spiritual energy is abundant and thick, and at this level it shows signs of becoming viscous. It is clearly not far from the 'spiritual energy liquefaction' stage of the Foundation Establishment stage.

"I'm only one level away from the tenth level of Qi Refining," she thought as she ate.

Since the tenth level of Qi Refining is considered the perfect level, one can attempt to advance at any time once they reach it.

There's no need to spend more time cultivating, accumulating experience, or stabilizing one's realm.

After advancing to the tenth level of Qi Refining, she would only need to spend a day preparing elixirs and spiritual resources, reading some books about Foundation Establishment, and asking Yin Wanluan about the things she needed to pay attention to before advancing.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, the spiritual energy within the body will be locked away, and there will be no need to cultivate so diligently anymore.

After reloading the save file, your spiritual energy won't be drained and you won't regress. You won't need to temporarily hide when facing potentially dangerous situations in the future...

Xi Heng casually thought about the future.

During this time, a piece of fish was placed in the bowl of pale blue spirit rice in her hand.

"Although it's not as delicious as dragon meat, it should still be alright, right?" Chen Fenghuo thought Xi Heng didn't like the dish, so he pursed his lips.

"I was just thinking about something else."

After speaking casually, the girl handed the food that the other person had given her to her lips.

Jinglan's eyes shifted slightly, meeting Chen Fenghuo's gaze.

As her thoughts wandered, she gradually realized that she hadn't yet gone on a date with Chen Fenghuo.

Everyone else, whether senior or junior sisters, or Yin Wanluan whom they met in this life, had made plans to go out together.

He had been living with Chen Fenghuo for a year, and aside from cultivation, he simply rested and had little entertainment.

Having recently advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refining, and still having some free time while stabilizing my realm, why don't I extend an invitation?

"Speaking of which, the fasting pills in the courtyard are running low..."

"Yes, I'll go buy it after dinner." Chen Fenghuo replied calmly, as if he had received the reply.

"Let's go out together. We can stroll around the shopping street and buy you some pills and spiritual materials for your future cultivation." Xi Heng shook his head.

The spirit stones and pills she had prepared for him were only for his early Qi Refining stage cultivation.

In just ten months, the other party has already passed the early stage of Qi Refining, reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, and has been cultivating for some time.

At this rate, if she only has the talent of a true spiritual root, she will probably be caught up in just a few years.

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Chen Fenghuo immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay."

It was as if she had been eagerly anticipating this invitation.

The girl noticed this and felt a sense of pleasure.

The mealtime gradually came to an end.

Before long, Xi Heng subconsciously took the other person's hand and walked out of the courtyard together.

When I was with Chen Fenghuo, I felt more at peace than when I was with my senior and junior sisters.

Because her senior sister was ten centimeters taller than her, she always had to look up when walking and talking with her companion.

Although her junior sister Hongji was about the same height as her, her more mature and voluptuous figure still made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Only Chen Fenghuo had an average figure; although she wasn't flat-chested either, her breasts weren't much bigger than Chen Fenghuo's.

When you're together, you don't care about anything else, and your mind will be more relaxed as a result.

……

Just as Xi Heng and Yin Wanluan were strolling through the shopping street, buying various cultivation resources or pretty little decorations as gifts.

Beneath the fiery hell, at the very bottom of the funnel-shaped building within the Netherworld Gate, another blonde girl sat cross-legged on the cold, dark stone floor, gazing at a small ball of white flame burning before her.

She brought her slender right hand toward the flame, casting black wisps of light from her fingertips that connected with the center of the pure white flame.

The black lines rippled with the flickering white flames, and she could clearly feel this ripple.

This situation is like taking a pulse through a thread, except that the pulse being diagnosed is a ball of flame.

The lines connecting it are formed by resentment.

Yin Wanluan once used the secret techniques of the Youxu Sect to absorb the resentment and hatred from the outside world, and learned about the oppression and trampling that mortals were suffering.

Thus, he mastered some methods of using resentment.

The technique being used at this moment is to use lines of resentment as a link to sense the 'resentment' within this small ball of pure fire.

Through long-term research and experimentation, she has come to realize that there is actually a great deal of resentment and hatred within the pure fire.

Almost any contact with it will erode a person's mind, turning them into a demon driven purely by resentment.

“These resentments coincide with the resentment within me… They are also the resentments of mortals, the great resentment accumulated by mortals under the oppression of cultivators over thousands of years.” Yin Wanluan muttered to himself, dragging the black thread, trying to draw it out.

However, such an attempt was clearly not going to succeed easily. Although she could sense the resentment of the Pure Fire and connect with it using the resentment within her own body, she could not move it at all.

It's like trying to drag a heavy iron block weighing several tons with a thin wire—it's impossible.

“The resentment within the pure fire is tightly bound together and remains alive, almost impossible to move by external force unless there is something that can match it in terms of the quantity of resentment.”

And in the entire Hellfire, nothing can compare to the resentment of pure fire.

Therefore, one cannot exert influence on the resentment and hatred within from the outside.

“Unless I start from within,” Yin Wanluan thought. “I will pour all the resentment in my body into it, and draw out the hatred from within the Pure Fire. In this way, I can try to control the entire Pure Fire.”

The resentment and hatred within the pure fire had become so great that it had transformed into a state of extreme mental chaos.

Controlling the mind of the Pure Fire is controlling itself.

If she could use this to control the pure fire of the entire hellfire, her wish would surely be fulfilled.

But vaguely, Yin Wanluan recalled the advice Xi Heng had given her.

Those who meddle with resentment will be devoured by it and transformed into demons and monsters.

“…We should be careful.” She withdrew her right hand and quietly let her eyes reflect the image of the pure fire.

Even if you want to use the hatred in the fire, you should at least find a way to suppress it.

One should try to minimize the influence on one's mind and spirit.

"The most direct way to reduce resentment is to release it... but external forces cannot do that."

“The only way to indirectly resolve this is to let these resentful beings see their last wishes and obsessions fulfilled, causing Hellfire to suffer a great calamity… But if that can be done, why would I need to try to secretly control the purifying fire?” She shook her head: “It’s a real contradiction.”

In the dim light, pale gray eyes silently gazed at the white smoke.

After a while, she came up with a few uncertain options.

Slowly raising my head, it was as if I were looking through the thick ground at the scene below.

The image of Xi Heng appeared in his mind, and when he turned around, he saw a few scattered figures in the Youxu Gate.

After assessing his own strength, Yin Wanluan slowly exhaled.

"I guess I still need to ask her for help..."

……

Jinghuo Bendu, Shangjie.

Xi Heng picked up a jade pendant made of intertwined white and green jade, and flicked it between his fingers without any regard for its value.

"I never expected to find so many high-quality gold and jade ornaments at a small stall selling miscellaneous items from the cultivation world."

Judging from its translucent jade quality, it should be considered a fine treasure among ordinary people.

However, in the realm of cultivators who only value spiritual energy and spirituality, it is nothing more than a small item worth two or three spirit stones.

She took out two small spirit stones, bought a jade pendant, and hung it on her waist.

Then she picked out a luxurious gold hairpin from the stall that was similar in color to Chen Fenghuo's hair.

Turning to the blonde girl beside him, and under the girl's hazy gaze, the girl tiptoed and used a hairpin to tie her hair up.

"Hmm, it's quite pretty." The white-haired girl leaned forward with her hands behind her back, looked left and right for a while, and nodded gently.

Stunned, Miss Chen Fenghuo slowly reached behind her hair and touched the spot where the hairpin was.
