The stronger the Burning Technique became,
the more terrifying his fire-attribute divine techniques would be.
"Is this the legendary inner-hall platform where the Void Heaven Cauldron is kept?"
Zi Ling's eyes widened in shock as she took in the scene.
Even in her wildest dreams, she had never dared to imagine coming here....
yet today, she had been brought here by Zhu Chen himself.
It was truly an eye-opening experience.
Zhu Chen walked straight to the abyss at the center of the platform and looked downward.
At the bottom, he saw a massive cauldron surrounded by a ring of azure flames, burning fiercely as if tempering something within.
"Senior… are you here for the Void Heaven Cauldron as well?"
Zi Ling followed him forward but quickly retreated after only one glance downward.
"This thing isn't very useful to me," Zhu Chen replied calmly.
"What I need are the Azure Ice Flames below."
He pointed into the abyss, then turned to Zi Ling.
"Wait here for me. I'll be back shortly."
With that, he leaped into the abyss without the slightest hesitation.
Thanks to his Vermilion Bird Sacred Body, Zhu Chen was immune to all forms of fire.
After plunging into the abyss filled with Azure Ice Flames, he immediately activated the Burning Technique and began rapidly refining the flames.
…
Meanwhile.
Outside the Ice and Fire Path, within the Immortal Spirit Land.
After a period of harvesting, Xiao Yan and the others had gathered a considerable amount of spiritual herbs and treasures.
[Xiao Yan]: Hahaha~! This trip to the Void Heaven Palace was absolutely amazing! Brother Han Li, if you ever find another resource-rich dungeon like this, you must call us! We're practically family now!
Xiao Yan was in extremely high spirits.
With Yao Lao by his side, he possessed a unique advantage when it came to identifying spiritual herbs and treasures.
Under Yao Lao's guidance, he had obtained many valuable resources.
He had already made up his mind....
once he returned, he would immediately ask Elder Yao to help him refine pills, striving to reach the Dou Wang realm before heading to Canaan Academy.
Ideally, even Dou Huang.
Then he could properly show off in front of Xun'er.
What were mere ancient clans worth?
With the support of this chat group, his cultivation speed would absolutely not fall behind those young geniuses of the ancient families.
He wanted everyone to understand one thing
as long as Xiao Yan existed,
the Xiao Clan would never decline.
And in the near future,
the Xiao Clan would once again rise to become the leader of the Eight Ancient Clans!
[Han Li]: The Void Heaven Palace has a limited opening time. Since everyone has already gained something here, let's move on quickly to the next level—the Ice and Fire Path.
Han Li had already obtained the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng by following the clues from the novel.
That item was his sole purpose for coming here, and now that he had acquired it, he naturally had no intention of lingering any longer.
[Xiao Yan]: Alright, then let's meet at the entrance of the Ice and Fire Path. Brother Zhu, Brother Lin Dong, you two don't need to keep searching for spirit herbs here. To be honest, I've already taken most of the valuable ones. But don't worry—after my teacher refines pills next time, I'll share some with you. We're brothers, after all. We share blessings together!
[Han Li]: Fellow Daoist Xiao is truly generous. I thank you in advance…
[Xiao Yan]: Thank you my ass. We're brothers....this is only natural. By the way, don't forget my share of those storage bags you picked up earlier.
[Han Li]: Of course. After we leave the Void Heaven Palace, I'll divide everything I obtained into five portions—one for each of us. How does that sound?
[Xiao Yan]: Haha, that's perfect. You really are my good brother.
Xiao Yan felt that his current group members were unbelievably reliable.
Some of them were terrifying fighters, capable of killing powerful enemies with ease.
Others were generous and willing to share resources—just like him.
He truly hoped there would be more group members like this.
[Lin Dong]: If you're all leaving, then I'll head out as well…
Lin Dong, who had just finished picking a spirit herb, also sent a message.
[Xiao Yan]: Yes, we'll meet at the entrance of the Ice and Fire Path. We'll go through the trials together so we can look after each other.
By the way, where's Brother Zhu? Why hasn't he said anything yet?
@Zhu Chen…
[Lin Dong]: Didn't Brother Zhu ask you to refine a large batch of Body Refining Pills last time? I'm guessing he's trying to find more spirit herbs for you, which is why he hasn't had time to check the group chat.
[Xiao Yan]: Really? He's working that hard? Then what should we do? Should we wait for him?
[Lin Dong]: I don't mind either way. Brother Han, what do you think?
