The video takes stock of the heavens, starting with the Fire Dragon King Natsu!

"So, who is the first candidate?"

"Snow White?"

Xiao Chen shook his head: "Although she is qualified, the risk of practicing is too great. We can't let her take this risk."

"The second candidate, Zhao Wuji?"

"Although Zhao Wuji is a Nine-Star Dou King, he and I have no relationship at all. Why would he help me do this?"

Xiao Chen thought hard for a long time but couldn't come up with a suitable candidate.

As he was walking back and forth he bumped into the table and a piece of paper fell off the table onto the floor.

"Hiss, I could even bump into this, really..." Xiao Chen looked at the paper on the ground. That was the paper he used when he and Hisoka signed the contract.

"Hehe." Xiao Chen smiled faintly, "Candidate? Now you have it, right? Xi Suo, what a good candidate."

Xiao Chen squatted down, picked up the paper, and crumpled it into a ball with one hand.

"Someone come here." Xiao Chen called.

Xiao Chen called out, and a man in black clothes walked in from outside. His footsteps were very light, and he seemed to be someone who had practiced internal skills.

"Mr. Xiao, what do you want me to do for you?" the visitor asked respectfully.

"Go and invite Xi Suo to me." Xiao Chen said.

"Yes, Mr. Xiao!" the man bowed and turned to leave.

"Wait." Xiao Chen shouted again.

"Mr. Xiao, please give me your orders!" the man stopped and turned around and said.

"Let's keep this matter secret for now." Xiao Chen looked at him and said.

"Yes!"

……

Not long after, Xiao Chen heard a knock on the door, and then a Xiso walked in.

"Mr. Xiao, are you looking for me?" Xi Suo asked puzzledly, not knowing why Xiao Chen was looking for him.

"How about we make a deal?" Xiao Chen looked at Xi Suo and said with a wicked smile on his face.

Xi Suo looked at Xiao Chen and had a bad feeling in his heart. He quickly said, "Mr. Xiao, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"It's very simple. Do you remember our previous contract? You brought me the Skyfire Jade, and I will also give you the materials and gold coins that I promised to give you." Xiao Chen looked at Xi Suo and said with a very calm tone.

Hisoka was stunned. "Isn't this a matter of course? Why did you call me here?"

Xiao Chen looked at Xi Suo's stunned expression and sneered in his heart: "This idiot."

"I want to make another deal with you. The reward is twice as much as the previous contract. You can take the reward regardless of whether the matter is successful or not." Xiao Chen said.

He knew that this was the most effective way to seduce Hisoka.

Sure enough, an expression of surprise immediately appeared on Hisoka's face.

"Mr. Xiao, will you really honor our previous agreement?" Xi Suo looked at Xiao Chen and asked in disbelief.

"Of course, you are a smart man." Xiao Chen said lightly.

Hisoka's eyes lit up: "That's great."

"You agreed just like that? Without even asking what it is about?" Xiao Chen thought Xi Suo would agree, but he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

"Huh? When did I say I agreed? I just asked you to fulfill the previous contract." Hisoka replied casually.

"I saved your life, and I will give you what you want. If I say that everything, including this matter, will not harm you, will you still be unwilling to work for me?" Xiao Chen began to wipe the knife on his table. The sound of the cloth rubbing against the iron made Xi Suo shiver.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"I need you to help me practice the Heavenly Fire Jade." Xiao Chen said bluntly.

"The Skyfire Jade, isn't that thing already in your hand? What? Do you still need my help?" Xi Suo asked Xiao Chen with a puzzled look on his face.

"It's here with me, but I can't practice it."

"What is the Skyfire Jade? You, Xiao Chen, can't even refine a piece of stone." Xi Suo asked in confusion.

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "The Skyfire Jade is not an ordinary stone. It is a heavenly treasure. Do you think it can be compared to an ordinary stone?"

Heaven-level treasure? When Hisoka heard these words, the expression on his face suddenly changed.

"Are you serious? The Sky Fire Spirit Jade is a heavenly treasure? What do you mean by heavenly treasure?" Xi Suo's voice trembled a little. Heavenly treasure, this is the highest realm for mankind in many years. The value of heavenly treasure is immeasurable. In this world, as long as someone has a little money, they basically have no shortage of money, because no one dares to provoke a heavenly powerhouse, who can destroy the entire continent.

"Why did I lie to you?"

"Where is the Fire Spirit Jade now?" asked Xi Suo.

"Here!" Xiao Chen threw the paper to Xi Suo.

"What do you need me to do?" Hisoka looked at the dimming Skyfire Jade and had a bad feeling.

"Help me infuse spiritual power into it and refine it into an elixir. The elixir will emit a strong fire-attributed aura. Then I can absorb the fire power in the elixir to practice. My strength will surely improve by leaps and bounds." Xiao Chen said.

Xi Suo took the paper in his hand and read the words on it.

Chapter 594: Xi Suo helps Xiao Chen successfully refine the Skyfire Jade

"Okay, I'll do it! But..."

"But what?" Xiao Chen looked at him.

"Mr. Xiao, I need to know the reason. Otherwise, how can I feel at ease to refine this piece of Skyfire Jade?" Xi Suo said to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen was silent for a moment: "I know you are of fire attribute, my water attribute and the attribute of the Heavenly Fire Jade are in conflict, you are the best candidate to refine the Heavenly Fire Jade."

After hearing Xiao Chen's explanation, Xi Suo nodded: "So that's how it is. I understand. I will definitely do it according to your method."

"Well, in that case, let's start." Xiao Chen looked at Xi Suo and said.

Xi Suo nodded, then sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, urged the spiritual energy, and transferred it into his palms. Then he practiced his skills, slowly placed the Sky Fire Spirit Jade on the ground, and held its top with his hand.

A ball of red flame emerged from the Heavenly Fire Jade and slowly spread around.

As soon as the flame came out, Xi Suo's hand felt extremely painful. He immediately loosened his hand, threw the Skyfire Jade on the ground, then quickly stepped back a few steps with a solemn look on his face.

His palm was completely swollen at this time, like a cooked shrimp, and smoke was constantly coming out of it. Black liquid was constantly dripping from his fingers, and he looked extremely injured.

"Hiss! The power of this Skyfire Jade is too strong!" Xi Suo gritted his teeth and endured the pain, muttering in a low voice.

The power of this piece of Sky Fire Jade was indeed stronger than he had imagined. If it weren't for the fact that his cultivation was higher than Xiao Chen's, his fingers would have been crippled by now and would have been burned to charcoal.

With his current strength, he still underestimated the power of the Heavenly Fire Jade.

"How about it?"

"It's okay. I can hold on for a while. I'll be fine soon." Xi Suo said.

Xiao Chen nodded. This time, he planned to use the power of the Sky Fire Jade to temper his body first. If his body could reach the level of Vajra Indestructibility, he could try to refine the Sky Fire Jade.

Hisoka is very powerful, but his body is still too weak after all. Xiao Chen's body is many times stronger than his. As long as he can refine the power of the Sky Fire Jade to the level of indestructibility, his strength will increase greatly. With the addition of the Sky Fire Jade, he may even be able to reach the level of a heavenly-level powerhouse.

This is also why he wants to cooperate with Hisoka. The Skyfire Jade is something that any warrior dreams of.

Hisoka's body swayed slightly, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Xiao Chen saw his appearance and asked, "How do you feel now? Can you continue?"

"It's nothing serious." said Hisoka.

"Okay then." Xiao Chen nodded, then reached out his hand towards the piece of Sky Fire Jade.

Xi Suo stared at Xiao Chen without blinking, afraid to miss any move of Xiao Chen, afraid to miss anything. He had never encountered such a situation before.

The temperature of the Sky Fire Spirit Jade was very high. After Xiao Chen placed his right hand on it, he felt a biting cold directly invading his skin and instantly spreading throughout his body. He shivered all over.

It’s so hot! It’s so unbearable! Xiao Chen couldn’t help but frown.

His fingers quickly turned black, as if they had been burned to ashes.

"what!"

Xiao Chen couldn't help but let out a scream.

His left arm was also slowly being burned.

Xi Suo looked at Xiao Chen's condition, his brows furrowed, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

His palms were gradually becoming numb, and black lines appeared on the back of his hands. That was the burning sensation brought by the Heavenly Fire Jade.

Hisoka's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, but he did not stop. Instead, he urged his spiritual energy to reduce the temperature of his right and left hands to the lowest level.

Time passes slowly.

Xiao Chen's clothes had already been soaked with sweat, but Xiao Chen still gritted his teeth and persisted, not daring to give up the slightest chance.

Beads of sweat appeared on Hisoka's forehead, his lips turned pale, and his aura began to weaken.

His palms also became dark and his skin became wrinkled.

"Crack! Click!"

A series of tiny cracking sounds were heard.

Hisoka's legs began to tremble.

He endured it all with gritted teeth.

"Ah~"

Xiao Chen let out one last scream, then loosened his hands and fell to the ground. His hands had been completely melted by the Skyfire Jade.

"Phew~finally succeeded!"

Xiao Chen took a breath.

"Was it successful?" Hisoka asked doubtfully.

After a long time, Xiao Chen said, "Yes, you can leave now. I will have someone send you the things you want."

Hisoka left and returned to his hotel room.

"It's been a while since I left my master. I wonder how the old man is doing." Xi Suo thought to himself, then lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.

At this time, Xiao Chen finally suppressed the fire disaster brought by the Skyfire Jade, which made him sweat profusely.

Chapter 595: Xiao Chen Survives the Fire

"Even if it wasn't fully absorbed, the fire disaster was already so difficult to control. Fortunately, Xi Suo is here, otherwise I would have been reduced to ashes." Xiao Chen was secretly glad in his heart that Xi Suo followed him, otherwise he would really die here.

Xiao Chen finally understood why some people would rather self-destruct than absorb the Heavenly Fire Jade, because they really didn't dare to absorb it.

Once they absorbed the Heavenly Fire Jade, they would have to endure the pain brought by the fire, or even sleep forever in the sea of ​​fire, never to wake up again.

"Phew! Fortunately it succeeded. The fire tribulation of this Sky Fire Spirit Jade is so powerful, just like a sharp blade. If my body was not strong enough, I would have been burnt to death long ago!" Xiao Chen let out a long breath.

He also felt waves of pain all over his body, but fortunately the fire from the Heavenly Fire Jade did not burn him to death.

His palms also turned dark, and even his face began to show black lines, which continued to spread, all the way to his ears, like small bumps.

In this situation, he didn't dare to move, for fear of causing another fire.

"I have absorbed such a small amount of spiritual fire, but the fire catastrophe has become so aggressive. Hisoka will be in trouble." Xiao Chen sat on the chair and began to write.

After a moment, Xiao Chen stopped writing.

"Someone is coming."

There was a knock on the door outside.

Xiao Chen responded, then opened the door and saw a young man in servant's clothes standing outside, holding a cup of tea in his hand and walking into the room.

"Young Master, the tea you requested."

The servant handed Xiao Chen the tea, Xiao Chen took it and said thank you.

"Young Master, do you have any other instructions?" The servant stood aside, waiting for Xiao Chen's instructions.

Xiao Chen handed the paper in his hand to the attendant, "Prepare everything according to this list. Don't leave out any medicine, equipment or materials, and send them to Xi Suo."

"Ok!"
