Xu Jing's mind moved, and he immediately nodded at the plus sign behind the first-level flame.
Rumble~!
With the 100 points of origin deducted, his dantian was like adding fuel to the fire, and the flowing internal qi burned violently.
But this burning lasted for a short time, and it was only confined to the dantian, and after a few breaths, calm was restored.
"This is a second-level flame?"
Xu Jing looked at the display on the system interface, a little surprised, carefully sensed the dantian, and found that the internal qi seemed to have a slight change.
His palms spread, and the flames appeared, this time slightly darker than before, and the strength did increase a little, but it was still not enough.
But fortunately, the plus sign that can continue to improve is still there, Xu Jing didn't think much about it, so he chose to continue to improve.
Level 2, Level 3, Level 4 ......
Every time he consumes 100 points of origin, although he only strengthens a little each time, but unexpectedly, this level seems to be very much, and he was actually raised to the level of ninth level in one go.
And the ninth level is not the limit, on the interface of the system, the "+" sign behind the ninth level flame still has not disappeared, but it has turned red, like a warning label.
At the same time, a row of handwriting slowly emerged below the status bar.
After Xu Jing finished reading it, his face suddenly became cloudy.
The system indicates that the current flame level has reached a critical level, and his body is not enough to control the next stage of flames, warning him to proceed with caution.
He felt that the body temperature on his body at this time had obviously exceeded the scope of a normal person, but because he had previously cultivated the Flame Knife Technique to an advanced level, his body had improved several times in a row, and he was quite suitable for the ninth-level flames.
"Strengthen the body, I want a stronger body."
He kept silently thinking in his heart, when he crossed the giant python, he used this method to break through the genetic limitations and have a solid scale armor.
Since the system says that his body is not strong enough, then in his mind, he only needs to strengthen his body to a sufficient degree.
Once, twice, three times......
I don't know how many times I recited it silently, but the system didn't respond at all.
"I can't do it......"
Xu Jing stopped meditating, he remembered that the full name of the system was "Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds Crossing Heterogeneous System", at this time, thinking about it, maybe some rules of the system only apply to alien life, not human beings.
He stretched out his hand, and the exercises were running, and a red flame instantly emerged, burning quietly in his palm.
This ninth-level flame is much stronger and more stable than when it was at the first level, but whether he can deal with demons and monsters, he has no bottom in his heart.
Do you want to continue to improve?
Xu Jing hesitated, but soon he made a decision.
Your fate is in your own hands!
If there was no red stone, he didn't know if he would have had a chance to activate the system in his life, but it was precisely because of that red stone that he and even the entire Xu family fell into a huge crisis.
At other times, he may wait until he is sure enough to continue to improve, but the current situation makes him dare not have a trace of luck.
Fight!
Xu Jing closed his eyes, and with resolute courage, he fiercely tapped on the red plus sign behind the ninth-level flame.
Rumble~!
As if a volcano erupted, a crimson flame erupted outward from the dantian in his body, rushing out of his body more than a meter high.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Jing turned into a burning burning man.
"Ah——!
h He couldn't take it anymore and screamed as hard as he could, trying to focus on the plus sign behind the rapidly decreasing health. ………… Guishui City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there is a righteous village in the mountain forest not far from the north gate, which is specially used to store the corpses that have not been buried for the time being.
In the past two days, there have been two strange cases in a row, and the Tang family and the county government have died a total of nearly 200 people.
At this time, the corpses in Yizhuang were piled up one by one, and they looked particularly infiltrating.
The keeper of Yizhuang is an old man with a withered face and a decaying wood.
Only a small number of people in the entire Guishui City know the old man's surname Hu, but they don't know his specific name.
Old man Hu has lived in Yizhuang for more than ten years, and no matter how many corpses there are, no matter how miserable the death is, he has long been accustomed to it.
As usual, after lunch, he moved a bench and sat outside the door basking in the sun, and after a while his eyelids fought, and he fell asleep groggily.
"Sister, what did you tell me to come here for?"
An abrupt and soft female voice sounded in the village, and then a shadow was cast down from the wall and reflected on the ground in the village.
With a long, rhythmically wagging tail, erect triangular ears, and a pointed face, the shadow is clearly not human.

"Come and have a look."
A cold snort sounded in Yizhuang, and another woman said in a cold voice: "There are obviously nearly two hundred corpses here, but the blood crystal you handed over to me is only equivalent to more than twenty people, should you give me an explanation." ” "Sister, stop being angry!"
As soon as the figure on the wall flickered, a voice sounded from inside Yizhuang: "Please listen to my explanation......"
She seemed to be very afraid of the other party, and she didn't dare to hide it at the moment, and told everything that had happened in the past two days.
"You said that after you succeeded in the Tang Mansion, you were conspired by the scorpions of the Black Realm Mountain, causing the blood crystal to be unintentionally dropped, and then when you chased and killed the other party and returned to find it, the essence blood energy inside was gone?"
"Yes."
"Humph!"
The person with a cold voice knew that the other party didn't dare to deceive her, and then said, "Then have you found out who the blood crystal passed through in the process of being lost?"
” "I've checked, only the county lieutenant Xu Maozong in the city has handled it, and today I heard the news that the young master of the Xu family, who was born crippled, has recovered."
"Okay, then you take the blood crystal and go to the Xu family again in the evening."
"Sister, now that the government has reported to the Great Liang Imperial Court through special means, if those mongrels of the Black Guards arrive, we are not opponents at all, so let's get out of here as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, the Blackguards won't arrive until the day after tomorrow at the earliest, and one day is enough time for us to escape from their tracking."
"Okay then." …… Xu Mansion in the city.
Xu Maozhe, who had just returned from a busy day, found that Xu Maozong had returned, so he hurriedly looked for it.
With his energy, he naturally inquired about what happened in the county office, and now the whole person is flustered and has no previous calmness.
"Big brother, what happened in the yamen has anything to do with the red stone?"
Xu Maozong had a calm face and nodded: "This time I was careless." ” "What can I do now?"
Xu Maozong wiped the sweat that kept breaking out of his head, anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
"Panic what!"
Xu Maozong said calmly: "You are the head of the family, at this time, you must calm down and don't mess around." ” Xu Maozhe trembled his body and said with a wry smile: "Big brother, I understand the truth, but now that the lives of everyone in our family are at stake, how can I calm down, that kind of thing is not something we can deal with at all." ” Xu Maozong took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to let Jing'er leave Guishui City with the youngest son of Governor Ye tomorrow morning and go to the Central Plains to join a senior brother I had a good relationship with. ” "It's fine."
Although Xu Maozhe was very reluctant, he still agreed, but then he thought of something and asked, "Then what should I do tonight?"
” The affairs of the Tang Mansion and the county government all happened at night, thinking of what might happen tonight, he couldn't help but feel a chill all over his body, and a layer of cold sweat unconsciously appeared on his back. "...... tonight" Xu Maozong sighed lightly and shook his head helplessly.
He didn't have any certainty in his heart, so he could only say that he did his best to obey the destiny of heaven.
But at this moment, Xiaolian's panicked cry suddenly came from outside the door: "Oh no!
Something happened to the young master!
” "What!"
Xu Maozong and Xu Maozong stood up almost at the same time and rushed out with panicked faces. …… When Xu Jing woke up, he found himself lying in a huge bathtub like a boiled prawn.
Next to her, Xiaolian was holding a wooden bucket in her hand, constantly scooping out the hot water in the bathtub, and then handed it to Xu An and Xu Quan, who were running back and forth, and poured back a bucket of cold water into the bathtub.
"Master, you're awake!"
After seeing Xu Jing open his eyes, Xiaolian was pleasantly surprised, and said to Xu An: "Go and inform the two masters." ” After Xu An glanced at Xu Jing, he hurriedly ran out.
After a while, Xu Maozong and Xu Maozhe rushed over.
"Jing'er, it's great that you're okay."
Both of them had a look of fear on their faces, and they were really frightened by what they had seen before.
Xu Jing said with an apologetic look: "Dad, uncle, I made you worried." ” Xu Maozong approached, stretched out his hand to sense the body temperature on Xu Jing's body, put it in the bathtub to test the temperature of the water, exhaled and said, "It's finally come down, it should be fine." ” Xu Maozhe also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, patted his chest and said, "You stinky boy, you really scared my father to death." ” "I'm fine."
Xu Jing smiled, and after seeing Xu Maozong's hesitant expression when he wanted to ask, he took the initiative to say, "Wait a minute, I'll go to the study to find you." ” "Okay."
Xu Maozong nodded, said hello, and pulled Xu Maozhe out of the door.
After they left, Xu Jing didn't care about Xiaolian's face, stood up directly from the bathtub, picked up the dry towel next to him and wiped his body.
Xiaolian has taken care of Xu Jing for many years, helped him change clothes and scrub, and has long been familiar with him, and she doesn't feel embarrassed and shy on the side, but laughs and says, "Young Master, your hair and eyebrows are burned." ” Xu Jing touched his slippery head, looked down again, shook his head helplessly, and said angrily: "Why don't you go and get me clothes quickly." ” Xiaolian couldn't help laughing, turned around and went out the door, and returned with a set of clothes after a while.
While helping Xu Jing get dressed, she asked with some curiosity, "Young Master, how did you turn yourself into a fire man?"
Also, why is your skin okay at all?
It scared the hell out of me. ” "Where are so many whys!"
Xu Jing straightened his collar, glared at Xiaolian, turned around and went out.
