Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

Upon reaching the ground, what appeared before Chu Yunfan was a massive volcano.

The area around the volcano used to be filled with golden rivers.

Of course, what flows in these rivers is not water, but magma with a temperature of thousands of degrees.

Of course, not only on the ground, but after entering the volcano's territory, Chu Yunfan discovered that the air temperature here was at least over a thousand degrees, enough to cook a living person.

Moreover, the air was filled with a pungent odor, which was the toxic fire from the volcano mixed in with the air.

Fortunately, Chu Yunfan's cultivation had reached the Martial Venerable Realm, and he could use his spiritual energy armor to isolate himself from the fire poison in the air and block most of the heat, which allowed him to move forward safely in the volcano.

Even so, Chu Yunfan still felt somewhat uncomfortable all over.

Because the closer you get to the inside of a volcano, the higher the temperature of the air.

Later on, Chu Yunfan felt that the air temperature here had reached an astonishing five or six thousand degrees.

Based on this calculation, the temperature at the deepest part of the volcano could reach 10,000 degrees Celsius, comparable to the crimson flames erupting from the Flame Lion, which even a Martial King realm expert could not withstand.

"What kind of volcano is this? The temperature is way too high!"

Chu Yunfan looked around with a puzzled expression.

At first, Chu Yunfan thought that the temperature was higher than that of a normal volcano because this was the lair of the Flame Lion.

However, judging from the current situation, the Flame Lion's abilities are simply insufficient to cause the volcano to reach such a high temperature.

In an instant, a guess popped into Chu Yunfan's mind: there must be something strange about this volcano.

As Chu Yunfan observed more closely, he finally discovered the anomaly.

Of course, this anomaly does not refer to anything unusual about the volcano itself, but rather that Chu Yunfan suddenly realized that, although it was his first time here, something was amiss.

However, this volcano gave him a very familiar feeling.

"What's going on? This is the first time I've seen a volcano since I came to the Azure Cloud Continent."

But why does this volcano give me such a familiar feeling, as if I've seen it somewhere before?

The more Chu Yunfan examined the volcano, the deeper his doubts became.

Suddenly, Chu Yunfan's gaze sharpened, and a glint flashed in his eyes.

"Could it be it?"

Chu Yunfan exclaimed inwardly, and then his storage ring flashed, revealing an old parchment in his hand.

This parchment was something Chu Yunfan accidentally obtained from the storage ring of an assassin from the Heavenly Killing Organization after killing him.

Because the treasure map was incomplete, and the assassin was only at the Martial Grandmaster level.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan didn't take it too seriously after obtaining it.

Unexpectedly, he ended up at the place depicted on the treasure map.

"Fortunately, after I started cultivating, I have acquired the ability to remember everything I see."

Otherwise, we might miss out on this treasure trove!

Chu Yunfan looked at the line that was clearly drawn separately on the treasure map and sighed with emotion.

However, after reading the treasure map, Chu Yunfan did not follow the route shown on the map, but continued towards the lair of the Flame Lion.

"According to the treasure map, the final location of the treasure is beneath the crater."

The temperature there is estimated to be well over 10,000 degrees Celsius; it would be too dangerous to go there rashly.

Let's loot the Flame Lion's lair first and make preparations before we go!

Chu Yunfan silently calculated in his mind, and soon he arrived at the lair of the Flame Lion.

Although the lair of the Flame Lion is a cave, it does not have the dark and damp feeling of a typical cave. Instead, it is filled with flames and is as hot as a furnace.

Deep within the lair, Chu Yunfan discovered the treasure he was looking for: Lionflame Grass.

The so-called Lionflame Grass is a special kind of spiritual grass that evolved from some fire-attribute spiritual herbs that have been living in the place where the Flame Lion has lived for a long time. They are nurtured by the crimson-gold lion flames on the Flame Lion's body every day.

The primary benefit of Lionflame Grass is that it can significantly enhance the cultivation level of fire-attribute cultivators after they refine it.

Secondly, it can enhance the alchemist's alchemical fire.

Previously, in preparation for the inner sect competition, Chu Yunfan was so engrossed in cultivation that he had no time to pay attention to alchemy.

As a result, Chu Yunfan is still only a third-level alchemist, and the alchemical fire in his dantian is also only a third-level alchemical fire.

For alchemists, the fire in the alchemy chamber is of utmost importance.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan rushed to the Flame Lion's cave as soon as possible.

The purpose was to obtain this Lionflame Grass.

After carefully picking the Lionflame Grass, Chu Yunfan searched the Flame Lion's lair again.

Sure enough, Chu Yunfan found more than a dozen storage rings.

Moreover, these storage rings contain quite a few spirit stones and treasures.

Not to mention the treasures, there are tens of millions of low-grade spirit stones alone.

There were quite a few mid-grade spirit stones, and even some precious high-grade spirit stones.

It can be said that Chu Yunfan became rich overnight.

As for why there are storage rings here, you'll have to ask those cultivators who died in the mouths of the Flaming Lion.

After looting the Flame Lion's lair, Chu Yunfan did not leave. Instead, he ordered the Gold-Eating Rats to keep watch outside the volcano.

He himself remained in the lair of the Flaming Lion.

Then, Chu Yunfan took out a Lionflame Grass and began to refine it.

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

On this day, after absorbing and refining all the Lionflame Grass, Chu Yunfan's alchemical fire finally reached the peak of the fourth-order alchemical fire.

"As expected, relying solely on Lionflame Grass is still not enough!"

Chu Yunfan sighed softly, then took out the corpse of the Flaming Lion.

On the belly of the Flaming Lion is a bright red sphere, which is the Flaming Lion's inner core.

This inner core contains most of the power within the Flame Lion's body.

And the spark of the Crimson Gold Lion Flame.

Previously, because the level of the inner fire in his body was too low, Chu Yunfan was afraid that the crimson lion flame in the inner core would harm him, so he did not refine it immediately.

Instead, it was only now that they finally retrieved the inner core.

"I wonder how much my cultivation and alchemical fire will improve after refining the inner core of the Flaming Lion?"

With a little excitement, Chu Yunfan swallowed the inner core directly into his dantian, and then quickly circulated the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic to refine it.

However, although the crimson lion flames in the inner core of the Flaming Lion seemed very quiet before, they unleashed their true power as soon as Chu Yunfan swallowed them.

At this moment, Chu Yunfan's dantian had transformed into a sea of ​​fire.

The inner walls of the dantian and the meridians were being scorched by the high temperature of tens of thousands of degrees of the crimson lion flames.

Fortunately, Chu Yunfan had already cultivated the Innate Thunder Sword Saint Body, and his physical strength had increased many times over compared to before.

Otherwise, forget about refining it, the moment Chu Yunfan swallowed the Flaming Lion's inner core, he would have turned into a fragrant roasted meat.
