Chapter 84: Suppressing the Evil Fire
"boom!"
With a crisp explosion, a layer of orange-red flames suddenly appeared on Ma Hongjun's body. The flames seemed to seep out from Ma Hongjun's pores and spread all over his body. As for Ma Hongjun's clothes, they were burned to ashes the moment the flames appeared.
The flames were extremely hot; even Flanders, who possessed the cultivation of a Soul Saint, was forced back several steps by them.
Flanders looked at Ma Hongjun, whose face was contorted in pain, gritted his teeth, and reached out, wanting to use his powerful soul power to suppress the flames on Ma Hongjun's body once again.
"It's so hot!" Ma Hongjun's veins bulged from the heat, and he rolled around on the ground incessantly.
Shi Lin frowned slightly as he looked at Ma Hongjun lying on the ground, wondering if the Fire Seed Gu would have any effect on Ma Hongjun.
After all, the food of the Fire Gu is flames.
Then Shi Lin took out four top-grade Fire Seed Gu from his personal space.
The tongues of ten Flame Hounds were used to refine four top-grade Fire Gu, but the rest failed to produce any high-grade or mid-grade Fire Gu.
Just then, Flanders, Zhao Wuji, and several other Soul Masters surrounded Ma Hongjun, preparing to forcefully suppress the flames within his body.
As several Soul Masters released their soul power, the flames on Ma Hongjun's body were suppressed back into his body by the powerful soul power.
However, Ma Hongjun's expression became even more pained.
"No, boss, Hongjun's body can't withstand this evil fire. If we forcefully suppress it, it will cause Hongjun to explode." Zhao Wuji said to Flanders as he looked at Ma Hongjun's condition.
"This... take back your soul power!" Flanders could see that Ma Hongjun's pain was getting worse, so he had no choice but to take back his soul power.
"Dean Flanders, may I give it a try? Perhaps I can solve Ma Hongjun's problem," Shi Lin said to Flanders.
"What...do you have a solution?" Flanders asked coldly, glancing at Shi Lin.
Now that his own disciple is in a life-or-death crisis, if Shi Lin dares to do anything unreliable at this time, Flanders will definitely teach Shi Lin a lesson.
Shi Lin didn't say much, and took out four top-grade Fire Seed Gu from his pocket.
"This is a special kind of insect that I obtained by chance. It can absorb flames and may be able to absorb the evil fire in Ma Hongjun's body." Shi Lin showed the four Fire Seed Gu in his hand to Flanders.
The Fire Gu also sensed the evil fire in Ma Hongjun's body, and it twisted its body wildly in Shi Lin's hands.
All four Fire Gu were made from the soul beast centipede, so Flanders watched as the four red centipedes swirled wildly in Shi Lin's hands, which looked extremely eerie.
Flanders also sensed the pure flame power emanating from the red centipede in Shi Lin's hand.
Flanders glanced at the Gu worm in Shi Lin's hand, then at the pained Ma Hongjun. At this point, there was no other way.
They had no choice but to try anything, otherwise Flanders would have to go to a nearby city to find a courtesan to relieve Ma Hongjun's internal fire.
"Go do it," Flanders said to Shi Lin with a serious expression.
Shi Lin nodded, then went to Ma Hongjun's side and let go of his hand.
As Shi Lin released his grip, the four Fire Gu worms, like wild horses, leaped directly onto Ma Hongjun's body.
Seeing that the centipedes hadn't died from the evil fire emanating from Ma Hongjun, Flanders's eyes lit up. Perhaps these red centipedes could solve his disciple's problem with the evil fire.
Four fire-breathing worms burrowed into Ma Hongjun's clothes through his cuffs, trouser legs, collar, and waist, then found the most intense flames and bit through his skin.
As the centipede's teeth pierced into Ma Hongjun's body, the evil fire, as if finding an outlet, erupted instantly, completely swelling the Fire Seed Gu's body.
The originally shriveled Fire Seed Gu instantly became plump.
Immediately afterwards, the Fire Seed Gu began to release faint orange-red flames, and its originally swollen body slowly began to become thin again. At the centipede's head, an orange-red bead the size of a soybean condensed.
As the Fire Gu absorbed the evil fire from Ma Hongjun's body, the painful expression on Ma Hongjun's face slowly disappeared.
Instead, he lay on the ground looking relaxed, and soon fell asleep.
After sensing that Ma Hongjun's body was free of evil fire, the four top-grade Fire Gu slowly climbed off Ma Hongjun's body, carrying the red bead back to Shi Lin's hand.
After removing the beads from the mouths of the four Fire Gu, Shi Lin put them back into the wine jar.
This feeding of the Fire Gu should last for a month.
Seeing Ma Hongjun's breathing gradually stabilize, Flanders also let out a long breath.
Ma Hongjun's innate soul power level is level nine. After Flanders noticed the evil fire in Ma Hongjun's body, he stopped Ma Hongjun from cultivating and tried to delay the outbreak of the evil fire.
Flanders had been trying to find a way to cure Ma Hongjun's internal heat problem, but without success.
This time, it was probably because Shi Lin and Shi An cultivated, which increased the concentration of soul power in the carriage and raised Ma Hongjun's soul power level to level ten, causing the evil fire in Ma Hongjun's body to erupt.
Flanders squatted down beside Ma Hongjun and felt his pulse. Although he was a little weak, he was out of danger. There was no more evil fire in his body, but as Ma Hongjun cultivated, evil fire would continue to be generated in his body.
"Thank you so much." Flanders stood up, walked up to Shi Lin, and said gratefully to him.
"Dean Flanders, you're too kind. Once you arrive in Notting City, I'll entrust my father's and my life to you," Shi Lin said with a smile and a nod.
The Shi family and Shrek Academy are now in a cooperative relationship, so it's normal for them to help each other.
"Well, young friend Shi Lin, could you sell me those red centipedes? The evil fire in Hongjun's body hasn't been completely eradicated, and it will erupt from time to time in the future. I need these insects to suppress the evil fire in Hongjun's body." Flanders put away his relaxed expression and said seriously to Shi Lin.
"Dean Flanders, after Ma Hongjun wakes up, I'll teach him a way to form a contract with these insects. That way, they can absorb the evil fire generated in Ma Hongjun's body at any time." Shi Lin also told Flanders about this.
Shi Lin planned to have Ma Hongjun contract with the Fire Seed Gu, so that the evil fire generated by Ma Hongjun during cultivation would be absorbed by the Fire Seed Gu at any time.
As for the value of the Fire Seed Gu, it is not high for Shi Lin.
"Thank you very much. Well then, I don't have anything too valuable. This is an ancient soul tool, I'll give it to you." Flanders thought for a moment, then patted the soul tool at his waist, took out a pale yellow soul tool covered with cracks, and handed it to Shi Lin.
Most of the soul tools in Flanders's possession were obtained in the Star Dou Forest. The contents of most of them could not be exposed to the light of day, and these soul tools were all damaged to some extent. Therefore, this ring was the most valuable soul tool in Flanders's possession, which he bought from a tomb raider.
Shi Lin accepted the soul tool from Flanders's hands without any hesitation.
Shi Lin did not activate the soul tool on the spot, but instead put it into his pocket.
"Thank you, Dean Flanders," Shi Lin said, bowing slightly to Flanders.
"Alright, everyone go and rest." Flanders waved his hand, then led his men to set up camp and prepare to rest there for the night.
