Fire Spirit, as the name suggests, is a spirit composed of flames.

When flames gather to a certain extent and exist for a sufficiently long time, they develop sentience. This is similar to the principle that magical artifacts develop spirits, and swords develop sword spirits.

However, for a fire spirit to be formed, the flame must have a certain quality; not just any fire can form a fire spirit.

The presence of a fire spirit here indicates that the fire of this Nascent Soul cultivator in ancient times was an exceptionally powerful flame, not an ordinary spiritual fire. Now that this fire has developed sentience, it surpasses all other flames, making it an absolute treasure of heaven and earth!

However, the fire spirits are relatively weak in intelligence, as ignorant as newborn babies. That's why they ran around aimlessly this time, trying to scare Lin Yitang.

Lin Yitang was filled with doubts. Logically speaking, the appearance of a rare treasure like the Fire Spirit should have attracted a frenzy of competition from the major forces in the central region. However, this place was unusually calm. The Fire Spirit wolves guarding the gate were only at the third rank, and any cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage could easily defeat them.

She examined the fire spirit she had grasped again, and then it dawned on her. This fire spirit was clearly newly born and still very weak, probably only at the Qi Refining stage. She had crippled it with a single Water Dragon Technique, let alone other cultivators.

Perhaps this fire spirit was only recently created, so it has not yet been discovered.

Suddenly, Lin Yitang felt like she was possessed by the heroine, never expecting to have such good fortune come her way!

She stared intently at the other fire spirits running around. Although the fire spirits were weak now, they could grow stronger with time.

Moreover, this is a rare and precious treasure, extremely rare! It can fetch an astronomical price on the market!

Lin Yitang quickly released the bored little phoenix from her spirit beast pouch and said to it, "Little Orange, wake up! Go and catch all those fire spirits!"

Because the phoenix is ​​golden-orange after its transformation, Lin Yitang simply named it Orange.

Orange was sleeping, but her eyes lit up when she saw her surroundings.

It fluttered merrily in the flames, which surrounded it like servants encircling their master, without burning it at all.

Upon seeing the fire spirits, Orange shouted excitedly and rushed forward without hesitation.

Seeing this, Lin Yitang wasn't worried about the little phoenix getting hurt; instead, she was a little concerned that it was gripping too tightly and might destroy the fire spirit.

"Don't break them!" Lin Yitang quickly reminded them, "Be gentle!"

Orange chirped a few times to indicate it had received the message, flapped its wings, and then plunged headfirst into the flames, disappearing without a trace.

Lin Yitang sensed Orange's condition through the contract and discovered that it was moving at high speed. Although these little fire spirits were weak, they were quite fast, after all, this was their home turf. This was also the reason why she sent Orange to catch them.

Lin Yitang is, after all, a human cultivator and not a fire-type specialist, so she will be affected by these flames. Moreover, finding and capturing fire spirits is very troublesome, while it would be much easier for Ju Zi to do it.

A quarter of an hour passed, and the oranges still hadn't come out. Just as Lin Yitang was about to go in to look for them, she keenly noticed that the surrounding flames seemed to have shrunk considerably.

The once raging inferno had dimmed considerably, as if something was quietly consuming its power. The stone walls, once wreathed in flames, now only flickered with a few scattered embers. The lava pools on the ground were no longer churning and boiling, but had become eerily calm.

Lin Yitang didn't think much of it, assuming that the fire spirit's capture had caused the flames to shrink. It wasn't until Ju Zi came out, looking quite plump, that she realized what had happened.

This is clearly because it was eaten by the little phoenix!

She stared in disbelief at the orange, which had become quite plump, and stammered, "You...did you eat all those flames?"

Orange chirped twice, sounding quite pleased with itself. "Yes, those flames were delicious! And there were some snacks inside that were even tastier than the flames. I ate so many!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yitang almost fainted.

The snack that Orange mentioned, could it be those fire spirits? It...it ate the fire spirits as snacks?

She immediately regretted it, feeling that she had made a mistake in her decision.

The original plan was to have Orange catch the fire spirits, but Orange didn't know what fire spirits were and ate them all!

However, this is not Orange's fault; it's because she didn't think things through and forgot to explain it to Orange.

I just don't know how many fire spirits are left.

She quickly asked, "Ju Zi, did you eat all the Fire Spirits?"

Orange nodded and chirped a few more times, meaning yes, they were all eaten, not a single one was left.

Lin Yitang's anxiety finally died.

In other words, all she got from this trip to the Crimson Flame Cave was this one Fire Spirit.

But something is better than nothing. One fire spirit is enough, as long as Orange is alright. Besides, this fire spirit is quite weak; she easily subdued it and placed it in her dantian.

After all, storage bags cannot hold living creatures, and fire spirits are not spirit beasts; they can only be placed inside one's own body.

Lin Yitang stroked the fuzz on the orange and sighed, "Alright, now that we've got the Fire Spirit, let's continue eating and have a good meal."

Orange chirped happily a few more times, flapped its wings and flew towards the flames, where it buried its head in the fire and ate voraciously, occasionally rolling around, looking quite content.

A moment later, the flames subsided a bit, and the orange, which had grown even fatter, returned. It jumped into Lin Yitang's palm, fluttered around, looked at Lin Yitang pitifully, and chirped twice to indicate that it was full and couldn't eat anymore.

At this point, Orange had transformed from a normal chick into a plump chick, as round as a ball of yarn. Its perfectly spherical, round body resembled a fat chicken rather than a phoenix.

Lin Yitang sensed that Ju Zi was indeed too full to eat any more flames, so she turned around and said, "Okay, let's go to the next location."

However, Orange looked back at the sea of ​​fire with lingering reluctance. Lin Yitang sensed through the contract that it was very reluctant to leave these flames.

After thinking for a moment, she suddenly remembered that during the Thousand Peaks' disciple-acceptance ceremony, someone gave her a treasure called the Fire-Storing Ball, which could store spiritual fire in a ball.

She quickly took it out, silently recited the incantation, and instantly countless flames rushed in and entered the fire-absorbing ball.

Since the orange itself absorbed most of the flames, the remaining spirit fire was easily absorbed by the fireball.

Once all the flames were absorbed into the fireball, the once blazing Crimson Flame Cave instantly became dim and lifeless. Only mottled shadows remained on the stone walls.

The magma pools on the ground have lost their former boiling state, leaving only a layer of dark red magma flowing slowly.

A scorching aura permeated the air, as if one could still smell the lingering scent of flames. But overall, the Crimson Flame Cave had lost its original majesty and mystery, becoming utterly unremarkable.
