But, Ding Dangs discomfort disappears in a flash. After a short moment, Lu Chen flicks his hands with a smile and says, It is easy to find Spiritual Stones, but a beauty like you is hard to come by. If there is a chance to approach such beauty, it is an opportunity I cannot pass by.

Ding Dangs face flushes red as she rolls her eyes before turning around to leave.

Lu Chen watches as she returns back to that house in the distance. Then, he turns around and walks back in his original path. When he passes by that large chinese scholar tree, he sees that the old fisherman named Old Yu is still sitting under the shade of the tree fishing. It seems that he is the only one in the village who remained nonchalant to the spectacle that just happened.

However, at this moment, other than the old fisherman, he found Old Ma standing behind Old Yu, scanning the clear stream in front of him.

Lu Chen walks over by Old Mas side and says, There is no fish in this stream.

Old Ma doesnt seem surprised in the least by his sudden appearance. Instead, he points to the gaps between those rocks in the clear stream and replies, This time, you are speaking nonsense. Look, there are many fishes over there.

Lu Chen looks with an annoyed expression at a leisurely swimming gray-black little fish which is even smaller than his finger. He sighs and says, I am saying, there isnt the big fish which Old Yu wants to catch here.

Old Ma ponders and replies, Youre right.

The two man walk side by side along the coast of the clear stream. The spring breeze tickle their face, bringing them a pleasant and relaxing sensation. While walking, Old Ma suddenly mentions, That woman named Ding Dang, if she were to really collect a thousand Spiritual Stones, pass the test of the Immortal Discerning Mirror out of sheer luck and become a cultivator under the Thousand Autumn Sects, what do you think would be the first thing she would do?

Lu Chen looks at the green mountains in the distance. A faint smile creeps onto the corner of his lips as he replies, Oh, trying her best to cultivate so that she could achieve immortality?

Old Ma glances at him and says, I think that after she starts cultivating, the first thing she would do is to creep back here and kill you, the man whom she had a relationship with.

Black flames!

The black flames burn frenziedly, just like that night of that year!

After the sudden emergence of the black flames in Lu Chens eyes, in various parts of his body underneath his shirt, an unusual deep sound seems to echo at the very same moment. It sounds like the friction between bones, as well as the scream of agony of the flesh and blood, sending a shiver down ones spine.

Lu Chen takes in a deep breath as he grinds his teeth before walking in big steps towards the straw cottage at the bottom of the mountain. His staggering steps looks as though every single step would bring him intense pain.

Barely walking a few steps, bizarre black inscriptions could be vaguely seen on his exposed skin, face, neck, hands and such. Studying closely at it, it seems to form a picture.

Like a burning inferno.

Lu Chen pants as he sprints with large steps. The distance to the straw cottage reduces and reduces. However, the mysterious phenomenon that is occurring on his body seems to trigger all of a sudden.

In an instant, on the skin at his nape, a ball of peculiar black flames gushes out from beneath his skin and starts to burn. In just a blink of an eye, the blood and flesh by the black flames chars.

Lu Chen howls as his body trembles. He almost trips to the floor. However, courage and willpower seems to rush into him from some unknown source. Under the excruciating pain of self-immolation, he forcibly wills himself to remain standing as he continues running in front towards the straw cottage, as though that ordinary looking straw cottage holds his straw of hope.

As time passes, Lu Chens condition seems to be deteriorating at every single instant. Black flames continue to appear from every single corner from his body. The next moment, it appears on the back of his hand, then his chest, his back, top of his head, thigh, calf, as though there isnt a single part of his body that is spared. When Lu Chen finally reaches the entrance of the straw cottage, it looks as though his entire body has been consumed by the black flames.

He pushes open the door of the straw cottage and dashes in. The door opens and shuts immediately afterwards. Despite being immersed in the excruciating pain of being incinerated by the black flames, he still pauses for a moment suddenly. Then, from a certain location from the top, a stalk of unexceptional gray grass stem floats down.
