Just a moment after Qin Xin hesitated.

The dragon-shaped monster was already emitting flames as it charged towards Qin Xin.

Despite his quick dodge, a considerable amount of crimson flames still landed on his arm, melting the Heavenly Phoenix Armor in just a moment.

Seeing that things were not going well, Qin Xin activated his Martial Spirit again. With his Qi Sea Eye circulating rapidly, he quickly filled the area where the Heavenly Phoenix Armor had melted.

"Take the Fire-Repelling Pill first!"

Danqing's illusory figure stood to one side, the golden flames of life surging in his hand attracting the attention of the fire dragon.

Different flames naturally devour each other to accelerate their growth, and the life-giving flame in Danqing's hand is clearly many times stronger than Qin Xin's Yang Flame.

The fire dragon, which was originally preparing to attack Qin Xin, immediately changed direction.

"I'll keep this guy occupied for now, and you can retrieve that Lava Core Fire Seed!"

After Danqing finished speaking, his whole body shone with golden light, and a giant cauldron quickly appeared behind him. Countless golden flame chains rushed out and bound the fire dragon.

"Qin Xin, hurry!"

Danqing said somewhat anxiously, as if the restraints could not be maintained for long.

Seeing that Danqing's spirit body had become even more ethereal, Qin Xin did not hesitate and charged directly towards the fire dragon.

He plunged his hands directly into the fire dragon's body, and in an instant, a large amount of white mist rose up. Although Qin Xin had the help of the Fire-Repelling Pill, the fire dragon's body seemed to be covered by magma, and the stinging sensation was impossible to hide.

The intense pain caused Qin Xin to tremble uncontrollably, but he dared not slacken his efforts and continued to search for the spark of the molten core fire on the fire dragon's body.

Just as Qin Xin placed his hand into the fire dragon's head, the fire dragon suddenly became enraged, as if sensing danger and trying to break free quickly.

Seeing the fire dragon's appearance, Qin Xin naturally knew he had found the right spot. With a probing touch of his palm, he also invaded it with his spiritual sense and discovered a ball of deep red flame.

Despite the intense heat emanating from the flames, Qin Xin grabbed them and quickly pulled them outwards.

"roar!"

Angry roars continued to ring out.

The fire dragon's body trembled incessantly, but it was completely unable to move due to the chains formed by the golden flames.

As the spark of the molten lava was pulled out, the entire fire dragon turned into a giant rock and fell into the magma.

Despite the help of the Fire-Repelling Pill, Qin Xin's skin was already starting to dry out, and the scorching temperature made the surrounding air distort.

After finding the seed of the Lava Core Fire, Danqing also withdrew the Flame of Life. His entire spiritual body was so illusory that it seemed about to dissipate. However, looking at the seed of the Lava Core Fire in Qin Xin's hand, he said with a worried expression, "I didn't expect that the intelligence of this Lava Core Fire has risen to this level. If given a few hundred more years, it may have already completed its transformation."

As for Qin Xin, who had transformed into human form, he had lived in a continent filled with fantasy since childhood. Powerful monsters could transform into human form after reaching a certain level of strength, and some special life forms could also do so.

"Whether you want to devour it or not is up to you. I suggest you give up. The power of this strange fire has exceeded my expectations," Danqing advised Qin Xin.

"Teacher, I've made up my mind." Qin Xin's eyes were firm as he stared at the spark of the molten lava core fire before him.

Seeing Qin Xin's decisiveness, Danqing did not say anything to stop him.

At this moment, the medicinal power of the Fire-Repelling Pill was almost exhausted. Qin Xin immediately took out a Frost Pill and swallowed it. Instantly, a powerful chill emanated from Qin Xin's body. Even the flames of the Lava Core Fire paused slightly after sensing this chill.

Without hesitation, Qin Xin put the Spirit Stabilizing Pill into his mouth.

He grabbed the spark of the lava core fire directly, and with a determined thought, swallowed it whole.

Having previous experience in devouring Yang Fire, Qin Xin's process of devouring the seed of the molten core fire was quite smooth, following the established steps.

However, the fire seed of this lava core fire is not on the same level as that Yang fire at all. Even with the protection of the Azure Frost Pill, after the fire seed entered the body, the meridians in the body were still scorched and became cramped.

Fortunately, thanks to the effects of the Spirit-Stabilizing Pill, Qin Xin was able to remain conscious at all times, and his perception of the pain was also much clearer.

Despite the excruciating pain that nearly made him faint, Qin Xin struggled to control the flow of the molten lava core fire into his martial elixir.

However, the seed of the lava core fire seemed to have taken root and sprouted in Qin Xin's body. No matter how he tried to activate it with his true energy, the seed remained motionless in place.

In an instant, Qin Xin's entire body turned red from the scorching flames, and even the Frost Pill could not suppress it; cracks even began to appear on his skin.

Danqing, watching from the side, was anxious, fearing that something might happen to Qin Xin, and immediately prepared to take action to draw out the spark of the lava core fire.

"Teacher, I'm in!"

After sensing Danqing's actions, Qin Xin roared in frustration before calming his mind and once again igniting the seed of the molten core fire.

This time, the flame actually began to slide downwards, but with each inch it sank, the pain Qin Xin faced intensified.

Under the scorching heat of the flames, Qin Xin's blood boiled instantly, and through evaporation, he rapidly withered away, becoming like a dried corpse.

The instant the fire seed reached the Martial Core, the true liquid in the Eye of Qi Sea vanished completely.

Danqing sensed Qin Xin's change and realized things were going badly, but it was too late to make a move.

Just then, a green light flashed above Qin Xin's head.

"This is?"

Danqing stood aside, staring at the green light, and was momentarily stunned.

Although the light flashed by in an instant, he was able to make out its appearance: a small tree as green as jade.

"This sapling was actually in that incomplete map?"

Danqing was filled with doubt, because his spirit had been in this fragmented map space, but he had never found any trace of this small green tree.

Qin Xin was no longer able to control the situation within his body and could only let the flames of the molten core fire rampage through his martial core. Suddenly, a small green tree appeared.

This surprised Qin Xin.

Under Qin Xin's spiritual perception, the small green tree, after entering the martial core, directly attached itself to the seed of the molten core fire and seemed to be absorbing the energy from that seed.

In just a short while, the sapling grew much larger.

Realizing the danger lurking in the lava core, it began to flee desperately.

After discovering the location of Qin Xinwu's spirit, it was as if they had found a target.

"boom!"

After a loud, muffled thud, Qin Xin's body returned to calm.
