That night, Zhang Fan made a deal with Elder Yao, but after that, Zhang Fan never saw Elder Yao again.

It was said that spiritual beings should not appear, as it would affect their recovery.

The next time they meet, Elder Yao will help Zhang Fan absorb the Heavenly Lotus Sword Fire.

A month passed, and Zhang Fan almost forgot about this matter.

When he remembered it, he thought that Xiao Huo had not absorbed the Strange Fire either, so Elder Yao should not go back on his word.

On this night, Zhang Fan finally saw Elder Yao again.

"Brother Zhang, Elder Yao said that his spiritual body has almost recovered. Are you ready for him to help you absorb the Heavenly Lotus Sword Fire?" Xiao Huo asked.

Because of Elder Yao's special nature, it was very energy-consuming for him to appear in his spiritual body state. Therefore, Xiao Huo asked Zhang Fan if he was ready.

"Elder Yao is ready?" Zhang Fan asked.

Xiao Huo nodded.

"I am ready at any time. There is no need to prepare. I, Zhang Fan, have been looking forward to this for a long time." Zhang Fan said directly, showing a hint of joy on his face. He had been on the road these days, making slow progress in his cultivation, and had not encountered any opportunities along the way.

He had been waiting for the Integrated Union Azure Lotus Sword Fire.

On this journey, he learned more about the ancient Strange Fire.

The previous powerful beings, with their Sacred Bodies and unparalleled abilities, what kind of bloodline bodies were they? Innate Sacred Bodies.

Even if they were not innate, those powerful predecessors had cultivated supreme physical qualities.

Absorbing the Strange Fire was actually a means of cultivation.

When Zhang Fan learned about this, he was filled with longing. If he could master the Strange Fire, it would accompany him for his entire life.

With his heart on fire, he could control the Strange Fire as he pleased, merging with it, and as his strength grew, the Strange Fire would also become stronger.

In the later stages, it could burn everything with just a thought, without needing any techniques to defeat enemies.

Upon hearing Zhang Fan's words, there was a movement in the ring on Xiao Huo's hand.

A phantom slowly floated out of the ring, gradually solidifying and taking on the appearance of Elder Yao.

"Little guy, it's been a while. Have you been waiting for a long time?" Elder Yao smiled. During these days of being together, he had come to know Zhang Fan's character and habits.

In his opinion, both Zhang Fan and Xiao Huo were good-natured. If he hadn't already entrusted himself to Xiao Huo, he thought Zhang Fan would also be a good choice.

Moreover, Zhang Fan's talent was probably many times better than Xiao Huo's. If he relied on Zhang Fan, he should be able to forge his body faster and free himself from his spiritual state.

Of course, this was just his thought. Xiao Huo had been with him the longest, and he owed Xiao Huo a great favor. He couldn't easily leave Xiao Huo.

"It has indeed been a while, but Elder Yao's recovery is the most important. I believe Elder Yao will not break his promise." Zhang Fan replied.

"You have good patience. I haven't been urged by you at all, but this little guy, Xiao Huo, has urged me many times." Elder Yao laughed.

Xiao Huo didn't expect to be brought up for comparison at this moment, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Zhang Fan spoke for him, "Xiao Huo is eager to become stronger. After all, he was expelled from the Sun Core Sect when he left, and he must want to regain his reputation."

"Moreover, although Xiao Huo has made rapid progress recently, with just these cultivation advancements, he might return empty-handed from the Holy Land this time. So he is in a hurry. Compared to him, I am not in such a hurry." Xiao Huo looked deeply at Zhang Fan, surprised that Zhang Fan was such a thoughtful person and understood his concerns.

"It makes sense. If you want to join the Sacred Land, you two little guys need to quickly master the Strange Fire."

"Xiao Huo, don't worry. It will be your turn in a few days. I'll give Integrated Union Strange Fire to Zhang Xiaoyou first, and you can guard outside."

Integrated Union Strange Fire is a very dangerous process, and no one can disturb it in the middle. That's why Xiao Huo is helping to guard.

Xiao Huo nodded naturally, indicating that there was no problem.

After spending so many days together, Zhang Fan had already regarded Xiao Huo as a close friend. He even thought that if he became powerful in the future and Zhang Xiong didn't, he would still take care of him.

Zhang Fan is currently in a naturally formed cave.

After Xiao Huo went to guard the entrance of the cave, Elder Yao asked Zhang Fan to take out the Strange Fire.

With a thought, Zhang Fan summoned the Strange Fire from the Mustard Seed Ring on his finger.

Compared to the small cluster of flames before, the Heavenly Lotus Sword Fire summoned this time was much smaller.

It was so tiny that a gust of wind could extinguish it.

"As I expected, if I had come out a little later, I'm afraid I would have broken my promise."

Elder Yao saw this weak flame and his eyebrows twitched. With this situation, if he had come out a few days later, the Heavenly Lotus Sword Fire would have been extinguished.

However, although this Heavenly Lotus Sword Fire was small, its Sword Intent had not weakened. Just by looking at it, one could feel the Sword Intent rushing towards the Spirit Sea, with tiny sword qi swirling in the air.

If it weren't for someone who cultivated the sword, prolonged exposure to it would cause mental damage.

"Sit cross-legged, open your dantian, and I will use the power of my soul to let the Heavenly Lotus Sword Fire enter your body. I will protect your dantian meridians during this process, but you must hurry to refine it."

"This Strange Fire may be weak, but you must not be careless. If you make a mistake, you will be burned by the sword fire!"

Elder Yao solemnly instructed.

"I understand. I'm ready."

Zhang Fan nodded earnestly and sat cross-legged.

Entering a state of unity of mind and thought, he circulated his True Qi and slowly opened his dantian, absorbing all the external energy.

Elder Yao's brow furrowed, and with a push of his palms, he fully activated the power of his soul, miraculously enveloping the Strange Fire. Even as it slowly approached Zhang Fan, the terrifying Sword Intent still didn't harm him in the slightest.

"Chi..."

The sound of the Strange Fire tearing through space along with the Sword Intent emitted from the outside, sparks flying.

But as it entered Zhang Fan's body, the Heavenly Lotus Sword Fire gradually became silent. Apart from the sharp Sword Intent bursting out from Zhang Fan's body, no one knew what had changed inside him.

In the instant that the Heavenly Lotus Sword Fire entered Zhang Fan's body, his whole body became unbearably hot, his blood boiling, as if countless Sword Intents were cutting and burning his internal organs.

Then it transformed into his meridians, dantian, and finally floated gently in his dantian.

If it weren't for a force enveloping this chilling thing, Zhang Fan would have been devoured by the sword fire long ago.

But even with Elder Yao's help, he still felt as if his whole body was being gnawed by ants, the pain unbearable.

"This is just the beginning. It's up to you next..."

Elder Yao's voice came into his ears, but Zhang Fan had no time to pay attention to the outside world. He focused on his inner self, using his abundant True Qi to try to refine the Heavenly Lotus Sword Fire.

But as he tried to refine the Heavenly Lotus Sword Fire, the protective membrane of the sword fire gradually dissipated, leaving him to bear it alone.

Countless chilling Sword Intents burned Zhang Fan's internal organs.

"Ah..."

Zhang Fan let out a painful roar, his forehead veins bulging, cold sweat dripping down.

Although he was refining the Strange Fire, the spiritual energy all over his body was like facing a formidable enemy. Countless spiritual energies converged into a vortex and were absorbed into Zhang Fan's body, resisting the burning of the Heavenly Lotus Sword Fire.
