Simultaneously traversing from Type-Moon

After Du Can left, Hai Bodong immediately turned his attention to the fleeing members of the Giant Stone Mercenary Group.

Du Can punished those people, but Hai Bodong himself hadn't punished them yet. He was still furious after losing the fight and being insulted, so didn't he need to find some punching bags to beat up?

"Hmph! I, Hai Bodong, may have become weaker, but that doesn't mean anyone can provoke me!"

..............................

After leaving Mo City, Du Can continued flying forward.

After flying for a while, they arrived at Stone Desert City.

According to the map provided by Hai Bodong, the Azure Lotus Core Flame might be hidden nearby. Furthermore, in the original novel, Xiao Yan did indeed find the underground magma cave that nurtured the Azure Lotus Core Flame in this vicinity.

Unfortunately, by the time he found it, Queen Medusa had already taken the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

In the original novel, Xiao Yan finally found the place where the Green Lotus Earth Core Flame was born thanks to Qing Lin's senses and the careful search by the mercenary group founded by his elder brother Xiao Ding and second elder brother Xiao Li.

Xiao Ding? That's a pretty impressive name. I wonder if he can write books? Oh well, Xiao Yan's father's name is Xiao Zhan.

Although Du Can was quite interested in the Xiao brothers and Qing Lin, there was no need to rush to find them now.

As a powerful Douhuang realm expert, he doesn't need to rely on those of lower realms; he only needs to make a slight move to quickly find the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

However, at this moment, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame is buried deep in underground magma. Without a strong soul perception, unless one uses great power to turn over the entire land within a radius of hundreds or thousands of kilometers of Stone Desert City, it is absolutely impossible to find it.

But doing that would be too troublesome and too noisy, and would easily attract the attention of other powerful beings living in the Tagor Desert.

For example, Queen Medusa, who always wanted to evolve with the help of a different kind of fire.

Although Du Can is not afraid of trouble, he does not want to cause trouble.

He just wanted to level up steadily and climb to the top step by step.

"Let me see the limits of my mental strength!"

Du Can's eyes shone brightly, and powerful spiritual energy shot out from them, penetrating the vast yellow sand and thick rock layers, reaching deep into the magma layer at the Earth's core.

His spiritual power, after being shared across several worlds, has now reached the pinnacle of the mortal realm.

Although it did not integrate spiritual energy to advance to the Spirit Realm, it is already no weaker than a typical Spirit Realm soul, only lacking a touch of spirituality.

At this moment, he began to use this powerful mental energy to see all the hidden things beneath the earth.

The yellow sand and the rock formations could not stop him from observing so carefully and meticulously.

"But it's still too slow. At this rate of observation, it would probably take half a day to see everything and find it."

Of course, it's also possible that we'll find it in the next second, since the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame could be hidden in any corner of this desert.

He still had a map to confirm his approximate location; otherwise, it would have been very difficult to find him.

"No, it has to be done in one go. Mental power! I command you to find it for me!"

At Du Can's command, no one became a magnetic field expert, but their mental power began to burn fiercely like a flame.

The originally formless and intangible spiritual power now seemed to have gained life and vitality, transforming into a tangible fish that regarded the earth as a sea and roamed freely.

If Du Can hadn't confined his spiritual power to underground observation and instead allowed it to radiate freely, the energy fluctuations it generated would have been enough to change the very fabric of the world and create a massive energy storm.

At this moment, Du Can was using his mental energy as pure fuel, burning it completely to illuminate the dark underground environment.

This is an act that severely damages one's mental strength and could even harm the very essence of one's soul. Most people wouldn't dare to do it, nor are they capable of doing it, since damage to the soul can very likely lead to death.

But Du Can didn't care!

He's cheating!

In an instant, the spiritual fire generated by the burning spirit illuminated a large area underground, and Du Can immediately saw a vibrant green.

It was a blue lotus flower, growing in magma, naturally formed and nurtured by nature, carrying a unique charm.

It was not a real lotus flower, but a magical flame born in the shape of a lotus flower, sculpted by the earth over millions of years.

A strange flame! The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame!

"found it."

Du Can immediately stopped outputting his mental energy, then went to the light sphere space and instantly restored his condition to full.

Then, he quickly arrived above the location of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and threw a punch with a little force.

boom!

Countless grains of yellow sand flew up, and under the bombardment of the shockwaves from the fist-shaped wind, they directly formed a sandstorm that blotted out the sky.

The rock layers beneath the yellow sand shattered instantly. The rock layers, formed over hundreds of millions of years, were as brittle as paper in the eyes of a Dou Huang. Under the power of the fist, a straight channel was formed leading directly to the magma layer at the Earth's core.

At the end of the passage, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame awaited him.

Chapter 116 Grabbed and Refined in an Instant

"coming."

Ignoring the gushing, scalding lava, Du Can approached the blue lotus flower.

I did sense a two-headed fire spirit snake that was originally guarding the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, but it has wisely slipped away now.

Du Can obtained the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame without any hindrance, along with the accompanying Azure Lotus Platform and Earth Fire Lotus Seeds.

"How do I refine this strange fire?"

In the original novel, Xiao Yan prepared a whole host of things before absorbing the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, such as the Ice Spirit Cold Spring and the Blood Lotus Pill. These were all things that could help refine the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and prevent him from being burned to death by the energy of the strange fire during the process of absorbing its energy.

Du Can had not prepared for any of these things.

After all, his original plan was to spend two years at Canaan Academy before making any further plans, but his strength improved too rapidly, so he changed his plans and wanted to collect the Strange Flame first.

However, he had not made adequate preparations for absorbing the strange fire.

But at least he has the Narling.

This is a special item that can only be found in the central location of the highest-grade storage stones. If ordinary storage stones are used to create storage rings, then storage stones are used to create small spaces within the body.

The spirit-gathering vessel possesses sentience; it can create a special small space within its body, which is used to store the strange fire.

After all, given the destructive power of the strange fire, if it is not completely refined, then everything except this void space will be instantly incinerated, including the battle qi vortex and the body.

Du Can obtained this item from the legacy left behind by that alchemist. The alchemist probably also wanted to subdue a strange fire, so he prepared this item in advance, but in the end, it benefited Du Can.

Du Can was quite grateful to the other party, as it gave him the most basic conditions to subdue the strange fire.

Now, as long as the most basic conditions are met, everything else is just to increase the survival rate and is unnecessary for him.

After all, as long as he doesn't die instantly, he won't die.

So, Du Can began absorbing the strange fire directly.

"Come on, let me witness the power of this strange fire!"

Du Can directly drew the strange fire into his body.

He used his powerful mental strength to bind the enormous flame energy of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, forcibly compressing it into a point of light, which then rapidly passed through his body's meridians.

However, the power of the strange fire was extremely violent, and some of the flames still managed to break free from the constraints of the spiritual power and leak out.

In an instant, the raging blue flames burned away part of his meridians.

But it didn't matter. In the next instant, his meridians seemed to be refreshed and returned to their original, complete state.

Then, he forcefully stuffed the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame into the special space that Na Ling had previously created within his body.

After entering the Spirit Storage Space, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame finally became less violent and was easily refined by Du Can.

"It's a bit difficult. No wonder they say even a Dou Huang can't easily subdue a strange fire."

The ferocity of the strange fire was so great that even a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor) couldn't suppress it. If it were outside the body, one could resist it, but if it were absorbed into the body, it would be difficult to withstand.

In the original work, Queen Medusa was also at the peak of the Douhuang realm. After obtaining the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, she did not refine and absorb it. She only wanted to use the power of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame to evolve. However, she still messed things up and ended up seriously injured and unconscious.

Fortunately, Du Can was able to refresh his status in time through the light sphere space; otherwise, given the state of his meridians being burned, even if he eventually subdued the strange fire, he would still suffer internal injuries that would be difficult to heal.

"Alright, now I have a different kind of fire. All that's left is the final practical training in alchemy."

Du Can left the fiery passage leading to the Earth's core magma layer that he had broken through, and then casually manipulated his power to erase the entire fiery passage.

Although it's in a desolate desert, it's still a passage to the Earth's core magma layer. What if one day the underground magma surges and erupts directly through this passage, eventually becoming an active volcano? That would be interesting.

To prevent this from happening, it is natural to seal it directly.

After sealing it, Du Can found a secluded spot, sat down, and took out several items from his storage ring.

Some medicinal herbs, the magic cores of magical beasts, and a six-mouthed alchemy cauldron.

The medicinal herbs and magical beast cores were both harvests that Du Can had obtained in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

The six-mouthed alchemy cauldron was part of the alchemist's legacy. After all, the alchemy cauldron was one of the alchemist's most important assets, and it would naturally be left as an inheritance to his descendants.

The grades of alchemy cauldrons in the Dou Qi Continent are quite interesting. A first-grade alchemy cauldron has one opening, a second-grade alchemy cauldron has two openings, and a sixth-grade alchemy cauldron naturally has six openings.

It is said that these openings are for ventilation, but I don't know what the purpose of having so many ventilation openings is. The more ventilation openings there are, the higher the grade.

The most advanced alchemy cauldrons are probably covered with fire vents on the outside.

Just kidding, everything that exists has a reason. That's how it's set up. The alchemy cauldron is an essential tool for alchemists, and its most important part is the fire vent.

The fire vent is the essence of the medicine cauldron, and it is extremely difficult to make. It is not as simple as just drilling a few holes. It requires special techniques to polish it. During the making process, if there is even the slightest mistake, the entire medicine cauldron will become a failure.

Alchemy cauldrons are classified into different levels. The more fire vents a cauldron has, the higher its level, the stronger its auxiliary effect on alchemy, and the rarer the cauldron.

At the same time, the more fire openings there are, the more difficult it is to control, and the more stringent the requirements are for the soul's spiritual perception.

Du Can's six-mouthed alchemy cauldron, placed in this remote corner of the Dou Qi Continent, is considered a valuable item. If it were auctioned off, it could easily fetch tens of millions of gold coins.

The main reason is that there are probably a lot of gold mines in the Dou Qi Continent, which has led to a significant devaluation of gold. In the early stages, Xiao Yan would spend hundreds or even thousands of gold coins just to buy something in the market.

The value of gold coins and regular coins became almost the same, and the monetary system collapsed completely before it was even established.

After Du Can took out the alchemy cauldron, the medicinal herbs, and the magical beast cores, he naturally wanted to refine medicine.

But he won't be making medicine here.

After glancing at the alchemy cauldron and the other items, he put them back into his storage ring.

Then, his consciousness entered the space of the light sphere.

"Oh my, isn't this our alchemy master? When did you learn how to make medicine?"
