One person: I, Daoist Master, am a cultivator of immortality!

Sun Yao's Heavenly Star Torch Furnace uses the Samadhi True Fire he created as its furnace fire. In other words, from then on, the furnace could spontaneously generate Sun Yao's Samadhi True Fire. This is what makes the alchemy furnace special; it requires a kindling fire as its furnace fire. Just like the Six Ding Divine Fire in Laozi's Eight Trigrams Furnace, the more special the alchemy furnace, the more special its furnace fire. Ultimately, judging the quality of an alchemy furnace mainly depends on three aspects. The most unavoidable is the furnace's material, followed by the furnace's pill-forming effect, and the most special is the grade of the alchemy fire.

In any case, it's probably impossible to find a flame in this world more powerful than his Samadhi True Fire. Even the beast fire of the old dragon at the bottom of the Heavenly Pool might not be stronger than Sun Yao's Samadhi True Fire.

After completing the forging of the Heavenly Star Torch Furnace, Sun Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been on tenterhooks, worried that the furnace would explode. After all, the earth vein fire energy was very unstable, and even with his fire-based techniques, it could easily explode if he wasn't careful, since it was the most intense fire energy in the earth's magma.

Sun Yao stood up, dusted himself off, and then waved his hand. The Heavenly Star Torch Furnace automatically shrank to the size of a palm and flew directly into Sun Yao's hand. Sun Yao put it into the treasure pouch at his waist, and then walked towards the willow fairies who were protecting him.

"Thank you all, my celestial protectors. Now that my Heavenly Star Torch Furnace is complete, I will not linger on this mountain any longer. After all, I still need to discuss the matter of that old dragon's transformation from a dragon to a dragon with Uncle Liao. The specific details will naturally be informed to you by Second Grandfather Liu after my discussion with Uncle Liao is over."

After speaking, Sun Yao took a step forward and appeared hundreds of meters away in the next moment. He then lightly leaped into the sky, riding a flying sword and gracefully flying down the mountain. The remaining Liu Xian'er and the others looked at each other in disbelief. Flying sword? We are the Five Immortals, and you are a true immortal?!

However, Sun Yao couldn't hear their inner complaints. By this time, Sun Yao had already drifted to the village of Chuma halfway up the mountain. At the village entrance, he saw Grandpa Liu Er, who had come down the mountain earlier, talking to Liao Huzi. He immediately went up to him.

"Second Grandfather, Uncle Liao, what are you talking about? I'd like to hear too," Sun Yao said to them with a smile.

"What are we going to talk about? What else can I talk to this kid about? It's all because of the trouble your Heavenly Pool caused. If that old dragon really transforms into a dragon, won't it cause the Heavenly Pool to erupt?" Old Master Liu glanced at Sun Yao and then voiced his concerns.

"You can rest assured about this. I have extracted the fire energy from the Heavenly Pool's ley lines and used it to create a pill furnace. This is the pill furnace I created, named Heavenly Star Torch. If you are worried about the safety of the Heavenly Pool when the old dragon transforms into a dragon, I can place the Heavenly Star Torch on the Heavenly Pool's ley lines at that time. All the fire energy that erupts from the ley lines will be absorbed by the Heavenly Star Torch, so you don't need to worry."

As Sun Yao spoke, he took his Heavenly Star Torch Furnace out of his treasure pouch. Since the two of them were worried about the Heavenly Pool Earth Vein, he would give them a guarantee, so that they would no longer have to live in fear because of the Heavenly Pool Earth Vein.

As expected, the moment Sun Yao's Heavenly Star Torch Furnace appeared, both Grandpa Liu and Liao Huzi were immediately drawn to it. They knew what magical artifacts were and had seen many artifacts crafted by various weapon refiners. The Heavenly Craft Hall, where the three-foot-tall novice rancher worked, was a renowned weapon refiner organization in the martial arts world, also selling magical artifacts, which were extremely rare and valuable.

However, magical artifacts always have their limits. But the ability of Sun Yao to enlarge and shrink such a massive alchemy furnace is definitely beyond the capabilities of any magical artifact. Could it be that only legendary divine treasures possess such power?

"You made this yourself?"

"That's right, it is the alchemy furnace I crafted. This furnace can absorb the earth's fiery energy. Placing it at the bottom of the Heavenly Pool can suppress the earth's fiery veins, preventing them from ever fluctuating again. However, it doesn't actually need to be suppressed indefinitely. The reason the earth's fiery veins fluctuate is entirely due to the existence of the Fire Dragon. If the Fire Dragon no longer exists in the Heavenly Pool, then the earth's fiery veins in the Heavenly Pool will also subside. Therefore, sending it away to transform into a dragon is also for the sake of Changbai Mountain. I hope you two can understand this."

"Is that really so?" Liao Hu asked, glancing at Liu Er Taiye. After all, Liu Er Taiye had lived for so long and had far more experience than Liao Hu, so he might be able to tell whether Sun Yao's words were true or false.

"This kid isn't lying to you. The Heavenly Pool's ley lines should have gone dormant three or four hundred years ago and stopped recurring. The reason they keep recurring is indeed because of the Fire Dragon. If we can get the Fire Dragon out of the Heavenly Pool when we're calming the ley lines, that would be the best way to address both the symptoms and the root cause."

“In that case, I, the Ma family, will fully cooperate with you to help that fire dragon transform into a dragon. But which river do you plan to guide it to transform into a dragon? We need to know the information first before we can clear the obstacles on the river and evacuate the people along the riverbank.”

"My idea is to let it flow through a small stream, bypassing the Songhua River and entering the Yalu River, then flowing into the sea at Dandong. Only half of the personnel on this route are those we need to repatriate. As for those from North Korea, what does that have to do with me? The most important point is that the distance to the sea via this river is shorter, it passes through fewer places, and most of the time it is within our control."

"Okay, I'll go talk to Commander Zhang right away. I'll have him send people to protect us. I'll make sure everything on the river is cleared within half a month, and the people along the river are evacuated." Liao Huzi nodded after hearing Sun Yao's plan, and then said that he would find someone to take care of it.

"Don't rush. Everything must be done in secret, and the news must not leak out. The most important thing is to keep the news from the Japanese. These people fear power but do not appreciate virtue. Now they are like jackals and vicious dogs, starting to turn against their masters. The Qing Dynasty was so corrupt and decadent that it caused China's national strength to decline to such a state. Otherwise, how dare such a small country like Japan bully us like this?!"

"That's true. The Qing government cannot be blamed solely on the nation's decline; the Qing dynasty bears undeniable responsibility. But in reality, twenty years ago, the Qing dynasty's dragon vein was not yet extinct, and judging from its national fortune, it seemed it still had another thirty or forty years to go. However, after Empress Dowager Cixi's death, the Qing dynasty's dragon vein came to an abrupt end, and the severance of the dragon vein seems to be related to her death." Master Liu Er said these words mysteriously, as if he knew something.
