Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]

From what they learned, fires were categorised into nine ranks with rank nine fires being the weakest and rank one being the most powerful.

Based on this categorisation, rank nine fires included ordinary flames while chaos fire was the only rank one flame.

Intrinsically, Xiaomu, Shen Xu’s wood element fire, was a rank three fire.

Unfortunately, it previously suffered an injury and its rank fell from three to six.

"Ayuan, Xiaomu can recover a little if it refines a few drops of fire jelly." Shen Xu exclaimed and Zhen Yuan nodded.

"The fire jelly can also purify your spiritual root fire."

"I know." Shen Xu nodded.

The chaos fire spiritual root was one of the most powerful spiritual roots in the cultivation world, immortal realm, and God realm.

However, its cultivation was extremely difficult.

At the moment, Shen Xu’s spiritual root fire was more than ordinary but significantly worse than chaos fire.

On one hand, this was because his cultivation was low and on the other, it was because he hadn’t contracted all the elemental fires.

When he eventually contracted all the elemental fires, he would merge them with his spiritual root fire to form the chaos fire.

However, this was easier said than done.

Ignoring the difficulty of contracting all the elemental fires, Shen Xu had to unify the rank of the elemental fires with that of his spiritual root fire.

At the moment, his spiritual root fire was rank eight, Xiaomu was rank six, and other fires had yet to be found.

That said, even if Shen Xu found them, there was no telling what rank they would be.

Although Shen Xu tried not think about it, he had always kept this matter at the back of his mind.

Fortunately, he found fire jelly which was a suitable treasure for improving the rank of his spiritual root fire and the elemental fires.

"Thirty drops, I don’t know if it will be enough." The double muttered and Zhen Yuan couldn’t help but rub his hair.

"It’s high-grade fire jelly. You and Xiaomu can at most refine three drops each."

"You are..." Shen Xu started but suddenly stopped.

"What’s wrong?"

"Xiaomu has noticed the fire jelly. It’s urging me to give it some." The double chuckled, removed a small bottle from his space ring and poured three drops of fire jelly into it.

A moment later, he threw the small bottle into the Chaos Flame Space and Xiaomu happily caught it,

As for the original bottle, Shen Xu put it in the bamboo hut in preparation for when he needed the fire jelly.

"Let’s leave this place." Zhen Yuan suggested and Shen Xu nodded in agreement.

After clearing the area and removing the formations, the two activated a teleportation talisman and reappeared several kilometres away.

Time passed and before they knew it, it was ten years later.

During the past ten years, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan ceaselessly roamed the Endless Sun Desert.

Unfortunately, after the fire jelly, they hadn’t found another good treasure.

On this day, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu had just dealt with a group of sand cats when they heard the sound of metal clashing.

"A fight?" Shen Xu wondered, subconsciously spreading his spiritual sense.

"They are fighting over the shell of an iron-backed sand scorpion." Zhen Yuan said.

"It’s a good weapon refining material."

Do you want it?" Zhen Yuan asked, looking eager to try.

However, Shen Xu rolled his eyes and pinched the man.

"I have better materials." He said and quickly continued.

"Let’s go."

After collecting their loot, Shen Xu activated a teleportation talisman and the two disappeared from the area.

When they reappeared, the double sighed and glanced at Zhen Yuan.

"We have encountered more and more fights lately." He said.

"There are many opportunities in the Endless Sun Desert but they are not easy to find. It’s expected that people..."

However, before he could finish his words, Zhen Yuan stopped and suddenly laughed.

"What’s wrong?" Shen Xu asked, looking at the person with curious eyes.

"Xiaoxu, we have hit the jackpot."

"What do you mean?"

"There are four treasures within a radius of one hundred metres. The first seems like some kind of monster material and the second is a valuable fire element treasure. As for the third..., I don’t know what it is but it’s very valuable."

"What about the fourth?" Shen Xu asked in an eager voice.

"Guess."

"Guess?" The double frowned when he heard that.

However, he couldn’t think of anything so he shrugged and looked at Zhen Yuan with questioning eyes.

"The fourth has formed a law pillar."

"Really?" Shen Xu almost jumped in happiness.

After all, they had been roaming the Endless Sun Desert for more than ten years and this was the first law pillar they encountered.

"Which one do you want to dig first?" Zhen Yuan asked and Shen Xu couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

"We will start with the most precious." He said.

After all, the Endless Sun Desert was not their private property.

If other cultivators found the most precious treasure while they were digging the others, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan wouldn’t know where to cry.

"Let’s dig them as fast as possible." Shen Xu urged and Zhen Yuan nodded.

"Let’s separate so that we can dig them faster."

"Good." Shen Xu immediately agreed.

Now that he knew they had encountered a priceless treasure, he didn’t want to leave it in the ground for longer than necessary.

"You dig out the fourth treasure and I will get the fire treasure. We can extract the other two after that." Zhen Yuan suggested.

"Alright."

Soon after, Zhen Yuan showed Shen Xu the position of the fourth treasure and when the double began digging, he moved to the location of the fire treasure and also began working.

Fortunately, luck was on their side.

Although they worked for more than three hours, neither cultivators nor desert monsters appeared during that time.

After collecting the four treasures, the two teleported twice and eventually arrived at another part of the desert.
