Lin An was a Taoist. During the daytime, he consumed a lot of spiritual energy and needed to cultivate in meditation to recover.

Chu Xiong, on the other hand, was completely different. Chu Xiong was a black bear body. Eating it was also a way to quickly recover spiritual energy.

The more spiritual energy he consumed, the hungrier he would get.

Huala .. Huala ..

Of course, the more he ate, the faster his spirit energy would recover.

After an unknown amount of time, when Chu Xiong placed the last pot on the ground, he heavily breathed in, "I'm full."

Everyone saw Black Bear growl with a blissful expression.

Lin An had already finished his meal.

"Leader, this way please." Manager Wu quickly ran to lead the way.

Lin An and Chu Xiong were led by Manager Wu to a secluded courtyard. Lin An was a Daoist Priest with a respected status. Naturally, he had to live in the best place possible.

There were many rooms in the backyard, so Lin An and Chu Xiong each chose one room to rest in.

Chu Xiong was an immortal master's spirit beast, and his treatment was even higher than that of an ordinary mortal.

Chu Xiong sat in his own room, blinking his eyes, slowly raising his bear arm. The crimson flame mark on his right palm was even brighter than the first time he had seen it!

Chu Xiong clearly remembered that the mark was created after being hit by Zhang Ziqiang's flame. Moreover, after being burned by the burning chain of the man from Huang Tianliang, the color of his face grew even deeper.

He blinked. This mark of fire was the same as the one that brought him to this world. There must be some connection between the two of them.

But, what exactly is this flame?

What's the use?

Chu Xiong's eyes lit up as he stared at the mark on his palm in silence.

In the dead of night, the innkeeper and the servants had long since gone to sleep.

As time passed, Chu Xiong first furrowed his brows, then lightly exhaled, and then became tangled, as if he was in a difficult situation.

"Hai." After a long time, Chu Xiong let out a deep breath, his eyes became very determined.

"I have to figure out why this flame imprint is here. It has to do with why I'm here." Chu Xiong muttered to himself.

After that, Chu Xiong lightly patted his storage bag and a dozen symbols appeared on the bed. He currently did not know any Dao Techniques. If he wanted to test the imprint, he would have to rely on external forces. Moreover, runes that could only be activated with a small amount of spiritual energy were currently just right.

Chu Xiong took a talisman and walked to the center of the room.

With a nervous face, he stared at the sigil, his palm slowly emitting Spiritual Qi.

It was quite mystical, as the talisman that was made from yellow paper just absorbed Chu Xiong's spiritual energy, it instantly trembled as if it had a life of its own.

Chu Xiong was both nervous and excited as he held the sigil.

This was the first time he used this kind of strange yellow paper called talisman.

"The first step, inject spiritual energy into it, complete."

Before Chu Xiong returned to the house, he already asked Lin An about the usage of symbols. Lin An did not hide anything and happily told Chu Xiong about it. From Lin An's point of view, Chu Xiong was completely curious. Sooner or later, he would return the talisman to him ..

"Next is the second step. Control spiritual energy and activate the symbols."

Chu Xiong controlled the spiritual energy from the symbols and quickly covered the entire blood-red pattern. Suddenly, the rune seemed to have been set ablaze, turning into a ball of blue flames.

However, this was not a real flame, but a ball of spirit energy. The spirit energy was gathering in the air.

Six icicles about a foot long and two fingers wide appeared in the previously empty sky. They shined brightly as the cold air spread out in all directions.

This, was actually a mid-ranked talisman!

Frost Sting!

Chu Xiong was at a loss of what to do. According to his thoughts, what should be a ball of fire now .. ..

Why did it become an icicle!

"Could it be?" Chu Xiong turned his head to look at the rest of the incantations on the bed. Although the incantations were made of yellow paper, the patterns drawn in the middle of each incantation were not exactly the same. There were about four types of them.

The corner of Chu Xiong's mouth twitched and he was speechless. He thought to himself that he was careless. So there were many different types of symbols and different effects.

Feeling the connection in the air, Chu Xiong's brows slightly creased.

He lowered his head to look at the imprint on his palm, then raised his head to look at the icicle emitting a cold air, and slightly narrowed his eyes.

"We can give it a try."

With that, Chu Xiong raised his right palm and used the flame imprint to firmly hold onto an icicle in the air.

"Cold!" This was his first thought, but the feeling was gone as soon as it appeared, and it was back to normal.

Chu Xiong's expression changed and he quickly retracted the bear paw that was holding the icicle. He nervously looked at the imprint on his palm.

The flame mark became even deeper!

Chu Xiong raised his head to look at the ice awl and he saw that the ice awl that Chu Xiong had just held was clearly smaller than the other five.

"It can absorb spiritual energy!" Chu Xiong's heart was beating rapidly. He had discovered an ability of the flame imprint on his palm that was crucial to unlocking the mysteries of fire.

Chu Xiong suppressed the excitement in his heart and after thinking for a while, he used his right hand to firmly hold onto the icicle and did not loosen his grip.

Very quickly, an icicle became smaller and smaller and disappeared. Chu Xiong raised his hand and grabbed the next one ..

After the six icicles finished absorbing, Chu Xiong looked at the clear flame imprint on his palm. He understood that the amount of spiritual energy it had absorbed was not enough.

"Fortunately, there are many runes. I hope the remaining runes can fill 'it' up." Chu Xiong glanced at the remaining sigil on the bed and muttered.

Talismans were naturally extremely precious, but to Chu Xiong, the secret of finding the Crimson Flame Mark was even more important.

He did not waste any more time and used his two fingers to pick up another rune that was different from the "Frost Sting".

There were no ice cones and no flames. Instead, a glowing yellow barrier appeared around Chu Xiong!

The yellow light covered Chu Xiong's entire body, from head to toe, and completely enveloped him. There was not a single gap!

"This is .."

Chu Xiong extended one of his fingers and lightly touched the yellow light barrier. The light barrier was extremely elastic and felt like it was made of rubber.

After some thought, Chu Xiong understood the usage of the yellow light barrier.

"Shield!"

What Chu Xiong needed now was spirit energy, his right hand lightly pressed on the yellow light barrier, not long after, the spirit energy of the light barrier was also absorbed by the flame mark.

Just like that, Chu Xiong used the priceless incantations as materials and used them one by one on the flame imprint.

As the number of symbols decreased, the imprint on Chu Xiong's palm became deeper and deeper!

Chu Xiong did not care about how the color of the flames changed. He only had one goal, to let the flames "eat their fill".

"There are about 20 more!" He looked down at the remaining charms and smacked his lips. The man was so rich. There were about thirty to forty of them.

If Lin An knew that Chu Xiong was such a prodigal person in his room, he would have had the heart to swallow him up!

Another "Frost Sting", Chu Xiong skillfully grabbed one of them. Chu Xiong, who had not felt anything until now, changed his expression when he held onto the fourth icicle.

This was because he felt that the flame mark on his palm was full. Not only was it full, it was even "full"!

This "support" exceeded Chu Xiong's expectations and it was like a ball of fire was burning his bear paw.

Chu Xiong clenched his teeth and endured the pain as he pulled the bear's paw back.

The moment he pulled it back, Chu Xiong was startled. What he felt just now was right. It was indeed a ball of fire burning him, and it was also an orange ball of fire.

Chu Xiong stared at the flame in his right palm in a daze. The flame mark from earlier was gone!

All that was left was a small orange-colored flame that landed on his palm and silently burned there.

The scorching heat instantly pulled Chu Xiong back from his thoughts. He hurriedly circulated his spirit energy and protected his palm from the heat.

"What is this?" Chu Xiong wiped the sweat off his forehead, staring at the flame in his palm, his brows tightly knitted.
