Chapter 19
The Grand Canyon was located in the northwest part of Arizona’s plateau region. It was carved by the Colorado River, and it was indescribably beautiful.

Xia Fei had set up a tent by a tributary of the Colorado River. He had lit up the fire and poured in seven to eight cans of food into the pot to make a pot stew.

Since Xia Fei absorbed the cell activation medicine, his appetite increased steadily with each passing day, while his muscle contours were becoming increasingly obvious.
The wound on his thigh was recovering at a speed that was ten times faster than regular people, but it was still rather painful to walk.
Xia Fei devoured his entire pot of stew and drank a full bottle of mineral water in one go.
He wiped his mouth before retrieving a cigarette and lighting it up. He then took a huge puff and said, “Phantom, let’s start the cultivation now.”
Phantom looked at the wound on Xia Fei’s thigh that was still oozing with blood and spoke with a little concern. “Let’s wait until tomorrow. The wound on your thigh is still not recovered yet.”
The Fire Dragon Millennial Flames wasn’t a plant from Earth, and it wasn’t able to adapt to Earth’s atmospheric pressure and air composition. Once it was exposed, it quickly wilted.

Xia Fei didn’t neglect it at all and used his quickest speed to deliver the plant into the concoction device.
The concoction device shivered a little, and a few minutes later, a bottle of bright red fluid was in Xia Fei’s hand.
It was bright red like blood, and when held in hand, it had a warm feeling.
“The Fire Dragon Millennial Flames doesn’t have to be blended with other medicinal ingredients, you can just consume it directly. While we have time, I will impart the technique mantra of Crafty Thrust to you first.” Phantom stated.
…
It was nighttime. The stars were resplendent, and the valley was utterly silent.
The surrounding cliffs presented an entirely different color during the night. It felt as though this was an imaginary realm, and one wouldn’t be able to help but be amazed at the uncanny workmanship of the great nature.
Xia Fei had already remembered the mantra of the Crafty Thrust in his heart, and he was just waiting for the medication surplus in his body to disperse so that he could consume the Fire Dragon Millennial Flames’ fluid.
It was a long night, and Xia Fei couldn’t sleep. Hence, he put on the virtual reality helmet and logged into the Endaro Poetry Hobbyist website.

As soon as he logged in, he saw Avril’s pink mail:
“I finally made a trip to the interplanetary playground yesterday, it was truly very enjoyable there. If you promise to write a poem for me, I will bring you there. What about that?”
Eh…
Xia Fei was speechless as this young lady was too childish. “I was pursued as a kill-on-sight target yesterday and had even stabbed myself. I will thank god as long as you don’t come and disturb me.”
Avril’s mail stood out from the rest. It wouldn’t appear in the mail system and would actually materialize a little pink envelope that would constantly flash in the virtual reality system. As long as you kept ignoring it, it would constantly flash.
“Enter the mail system and block Avril.” Xia Fei commanded the AI computer.
“Apologies, the other party’s client grade is unknown. Insufficient authority, unable to block.” The computer’s virtual system said in a cold voice.
“Unable to block!? Why?”
“Insufficient authority grade.”

“Inquiry, Avril.”
“Apologies, insufficient authority, unable to inquire.”
Xia Fei was utterly speechless. The mail system was truly strange, and he couldn’t even choose to block mails.
Right at this moment, Phantom suddenly emerged and said to Xia Fei. “The time is up. You can consume the Fire Dragon Millennial Flames’ fluid now.”
Xia Fei nodded. “Do you know why the mail system is unable to block another person’s mail?”
“I don’t know.” Phantom had a mischievous smile as he said, “I just know that when you consume the Fire Dragon Millennial Flames’ fluid later, you might feel a little pain.”

Xia Fei’s heart tensed up as he had a bad premonition.
