Learning that Jiang Feng had gone out of his way to visit its lair in order to fulfill its wish, the Red-Scaled Giant Python was somewhat moved.
Jiang Feng had previously worried that the Bloodthirsty Heart Lotus Divine Fire might affect the Red-Scaled Giant Python, but he later came to understand that the python merely intended to comprehend beastfire through the Bloodthirsty Heart Lotus Divine Fire's crystal. It was not trying to refine the Bloodthirsty Heart Lotus Divine Fire.
What it sought more was an understanding of fire's essence, while the traits of its beastfire would be tied to itself.
Thus, Jiang Feng's earlier worries had been completely unnecessary.
It was precisely because Jiang Feng had realized this that he was willing to condense a flame crystal for the Red-Scaled Giant Python.
With the flame crystal in hand, the Red-Scaled Giant Python was immensely excited, its pair of snake eyes brimming with exhilaration.
"Friend, thank you," the Red-Scaled Giant Python said gratefully.
"This thing is far more useful than Fire Ganoderma."

The farther they went, the deeper they entered Ten Thousand Beasts
