Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation

But Lin Chen wasn't worried. After all, Mo Fan was a Child of Destiny. How could this little crisis possibly stump him?

"That was scary! Good thing you can fly!" Lingling, sitting on Lin Chen's shoulder, exclaimed.

"Indeed, humans are truly insignificant in the face of nature!" Tang Yue agreed.

Lin Chen was silent. Right now, he had lost his direction. Was he just going to search aimlessly from now on?

"What's wrong, Lin Chen?" Tang Yue glanced at Lin Chen and asked when she saw his brow slightly furrowed.

Lin Chen said, "I'm thinking about how to find Yan Ji efficiently."

"Can fire magic sense where there are more fire elements?" Lingling was smart to begin with, and her little head spun quickly, immediately giving Lin Chen a suggestion.

"Sense? That's right, sensing!" Lin Chen said. After all, the distance of his mental power release was limited, but humans were different from demon beasts. Demon beasts could use their aura to find what they wanted.

Lin Chen definitely wouldn't be able to find places with a lot of fire elements, but his summoned beast definitely could!

With a thought from Lin Chen, Qiu'er immediately appeared in front of Lin Chen. Qiu'er possessed the ultimate fire, and had an extremely strong affinity for the power of the elements of heaven and earth. Wasn't this the perfect treasure-hunting tool?!

Seeing Qiu'er suddenly appear, Tang Yue and Lingling were both startled. The current Qiu'er was already advancing towards a million-year soul beast, and her size was like a small mountain. Lin Chen told Qiu'er the purpose of summoning her. Qiu'er nodded cutely, and with a flash of golden light, her size gradually shrank until she was about a meter tall.

"So cute!" Lingling exclaimed. Tang Yue was already used to Lin Chen's summoned beasts, but Lingling was seeing Qiu'er for the first time.

"Qiu'er, let's get to work!" Lin Chen said with a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qiu'er dart away, and Lin Chen immediately followed closely behind!

…

The scorching sun hung high, right in the center of this Scorching Plains North Corner, which resembled a fire basin. The only towering Fire Pillar Mountain in the Scorching Plains North Corner was also the closest to the sun. Almost no living creatures could be seen on the summit. However, some plants that needed the nourishment of raging flames grew vigorously, covering the land of the flat-topped mountain in patches.

They were fiery red, like a dense carpet of maple leaves, scattered everywhere.

When the red leaves fell, they were like candle flames, slowly falling from mid-air. If a violent gust of wind swept through here, the air would be adorned with these dancing candle flames, creating an extremely beautiful scene.

A fiery red figure entered Lin Chen and the others' eyes. That graceful figure made their eyes light up, embedded in this beautiful scenery, like a moving painting!

Lin Chen slowly landed and retracted the wings on his back. Lingling was a little flustered. The fiery red figure in front of them was a red humanoid creature. Its state was very strange, with its toes slightly pointed, and its legs suspended, floating among the fire cloud trees like a ghost.

Although she was a little flustered, Lingling still jumped down from Lin Chen's shoulder.

Watching the flame person drift over, Qiu'er slowly walked towards the other party.

After a while, the flame person had arrived in front of Qiu'er. Interestingly, the two of them began to communicate amicably.

Lin Chen and Tang Yue both possessed mind magic, so they could naturally understand the conversation between the two of them. Lingling, on the other hand, asked with a puzzled face, "What are they saying?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Qiu'er told her the purpose of our arrival. That flame person is Yan Ji's guardian. She told us that Yan Ji hasn't been born yet, but this time, with the descent of the Heavenly Tribulation Fire, Yan Ji will soon break out of her shell. After she's born, she's willing to hand Yan Ji over to us to raise!"

A bright smile was already on Tang Yue's face. This trip to the Scorching Plains was extremely dangerous. She had thought it would end without any results, but she didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly.

"That's it?" Lingling said in surprise.

"Of course it won't be that simple. The cost of raising Yan Ji is not small. Fire-type spirit seeds and spirit seed fragments can at most only serve as Yan Ji's milk powder and snacks!" Lin Chen said.

Of course, Lin Chen wouldn't tell Lingling the real reason. The descent of the Heavenly Tribulation Fire this time would definitely attract powerful bounty hunters to come here to search for treasures. He wasn't sure if he could protect Yan Ji. Due to some special reasons, this was the last Yan Ji in the world, and the flame person also hoped that it could find a good home.

The most important reason why the flame person chose Lin Chen and the others so readily was because of Qiu'er.

Qiu'er's own strength was equivalent to the strength of a monarch-level in the entire magic world. Combined with the fact that Qiu'er also possessed the power of destiny, the flame person hoped that Yan Ji could also share a portion of that destiny, which was why it made this choice.

Lin Chen was also quite surprised by the flame person's mention of destiny.

Qiu'er was a Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which was originally a lucky beast among the soul beast race on the Douluo Continent, possessing the power of destiny. Lin Chen knew all of this.

But in the world of magic, Lin Chen had heard of the concept of destiny for the first time. Demons and soul beasts were completely different things. Their cultivation systems were completely different, so the flame person's statement left Lin Chen completely confused!!!

In any case, the purpose of this trip was Yan Ji, and now that the purpose had been achieved, Lin Chen no longer thought about it.

Lin Chen didn't expect this trip to be so smooth. It was all thanks to Qiu'er. If he hadn't had a flash of inspiration, he was afraid that they wouldn't have been able to obtain Yan Ji so smoothly!

"You're just being a hypocrite after getting a good deal!" Lingling pouted and glanced at Lin Chen with disdain. Lingling still understood the value of Yan Ji. As for how much money Lin Chen had, she didn't know. After a long period of getting along, Lingling knew that Lin Chen wasn't short of money, but now Lin Chen was actually complaining about being poor in front of her, which was a bit too much.

After a while, the flame person led Lin Chen and the others to a place. She picked the Fire Tribulation Fruit and held it in her hands, with a hint of reluctance and a trace of tenderness that seemed to turn into a wisp of green gas at the corner of her lips, gently blowing on the Fire Tribulation Fruit.

At the same time, Lin Chen could clearly feel the life force within the flame person's body being consumed, but fortunately it didn't cause too much impact on the flame person.

And the incomparably hard shell of the Fire Tribulation Fruit cracked open, and a small piece of it even bounced slightly, landing on the ground.

Inside the shell, a tiny miniature arm stretched out. The guy inside clearly wanted to see the outside world, and the arm kept grabbing randomly, trying to smash all the shell that was blocking it.

Its little arm was at most the thickness of Lin Chen's finger, but it was in the form of a flame, as weak as a candlelight, and it felt like even breathing a little heavier could extinguish it.

Seeing the scene in front of them, Lin Chen, Tang Yue, and Lingling all showed expressions of joy on their faces.
