After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

At this moment, Empress Yaoxi said irritably, "Now that you've made a gain, you can finally go back satisfied, right?"

"Hehe... Let's go back, let's go back!"

Upon hearing Empress Yaoxi's words, Qin Chuan scratched his head sheepishly.

At this moment, his whole body was red, just like a boiled shrimp, and he was almost at his limit.

Continuing like this could be dangerous.

Just as Qin Chuan was about to return, he frowned and suddenly looked down.

Because it is deep inside, the magma here is dark in color and has very low visibility.

Only then did he notice that there were countless blue fluorescent lights floating directly below.

Upon seeing this, he narrowed his eyes and stared intently.

Suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply, and a deep look of horror flashed in his eyes.

Amidst these fluorescent lights, a colossal dragon skeleton hundreds of feet long was coiled.

These fluorescent lights should be the phosphorescent flames produced by the bones after they have been dormant for many years.

"What...what the hell is this thing?"

Seeing this scene before him, Qin Chuan was shocked and speechless for a long time.

He had no idea that such a colossal creature existed beneath the fiery ground.

Empress Yaoxi frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "This looks like the skeleton of a dragon, which has been buried in this place for over a thousand years."

Upon hearing Empress Yaoxi's words, Qin Chuan nodded in agreement.

Just as the other party said, this dragon has been dead here for who knows how many years.

Because the light was dim before, Qin Chuan had not noticed it until now.

"boom!"

Just then, Qin Chuan was suddenly startled.

On this hundred-foot-long skeleton, he felt the same sensation as he had felt on the bottle of dragon blood, the first reward from the previous freshman competition.

"There is still bloodline within these dragon bones!"

Qin Chuan's spirits lifted, and he immediately realized what was going on.

"Not only that."

Empress Yaoxi said in a deep voice, "The bloodline of this dragon is close to that of the descendants of the primordial beasts, and it is even stronger than the essence blood you obtained twice before."

If you could absorb this bloodline, it would be of immense benefit to you.

Upon hearing Empress Yaoxi's words, Qin Chuan's eyes lit up, and he instantly became excited.

He had always had this idea in his heart: by constantly absorbing various bloodlines, he could one day evolve to an eleven-star bloodline!

"but…"

Empress Yaoxi suddenly said, "I don't mean to discourage you, but at your current level, you are not yet able to sink to the location of the dragon bone."

This is already your limit, let alone absorbing the bloodline of the dragon bones.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan's eyes flickered, realizing that Empress Yao Xi was right.

Given his current condition, he naturally cannot continue.

We can only go back first, and then come down again when we think of a solution.

Furthermore, this is still under the condition that the subterranean fire has not yet shown any unusual activity.

If it were to suddenly erupt, the situation would likely be quite different from what it is now.

If any unusual activity is caused, even his life will be in danger.

With this thought in mind, Qin Chuan turned around and went back without any hesitation.

He has now reached his limit, and staying any longer would only be a waste of time and would also pose a great risk.

Soon, as time passed, Qin Chuan returned to the passage.

"call!"

On the passage, Qin Chuan let out a heavy breath and turned to look at the ground fire below.

Suddenly, his eyes widened and he gasped.

Don't look at it, look at it!

The dragon's remains seemed to come alive, and floated up with him.

If he hadn't returned earlier, the consequences could have been unimaginable.

Qin Chuan's expression turned solemn as he asked, "Senior Yao Xi, did this dragon's remains absorb too much energy in this earth fire, thus giving rise to some sentience?"

Empress Yaoxi frowned and replied, "Logically speaking, this should not be the case. I have never heard of skeletons developing sentience. It is indeed unbelievable."

However, one thing is certain: obtaining this bloodline won't be so easy.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan sighed inwardly, realizing that this matter required further consideration.

"Someone!"

Just then, Qin Chuan's heart skipped a beat as he sensed that someone had disturbed the defensive array.

His eyes flashed, and he immediately guessed that Ma Yang and Jia Dahai must have returned.

Without hesitation, Qin Chuan hurried upstairs. When he arrived at the entrance of the Bingzi Danfang, he saw Ma Yang and Jia Dahai walking towards him.

"what?"

Seeing Qin Chuan outside the alchemy room, Ma Yang asked in confusion, "Qin Chuan, why aren't you inside the alchemy room? Why are you outside?"

Qin Chuan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly replied, "In response to Master Ma, I had been in the alchemy room for too long and felt a bit short of breath, so I thought I'd come out for some fresh air."

Then, feigning ignorance, he asked, "What is this, masters?"

Ma Yang did not doubt Qin Chuan's answer and waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing serious, it's just that the earth fire seems to be acting strangely, and a disciple came to report this to my fellow disciple and me."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan nodded and said in a pretentious manner, "Just now when I was in the alchemy room, I also felt that the earth fire was abnormal, which caused me to fail in refining medicine several times. It must be the abnormality of the flame."

There's been no movement since then, so everything should be alright.

"is it?"

Hearing this, Ma Yang and Jia Dahai breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just a problem with the flames, it wouldn't be a big deal.

After leaving Qin Chuan in place, Ma Yang and Jia Dahai headed downwards to explore.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Qin Chuan's eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on his lips.

The unusual activity caused by the subterranean fire was naturally due to him.

It seems that the dragon skeleton was disturbed during the underground fire, which led to a series of subsequent problems.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate that he hadn't been delayed for too long.

Otherwise, even if you had a mouth, you probably wouldn't be able to explain yourself.

Not long after, Ma Yang and Jia Dahai returned.

"It must have been a collision that occurred within the subterranean fire, which caused the anomaly."

"This doesn't happen often, but it does happen occasionally, so there's no need to panic."

As Ma Yang spoke, he gave Qin Chuan a few instructions before preparing to leave with Jia Dahai.

Just then, Qin Chuan tentatively asked, "Master Ma, do you know of any magical artifacts that can help people withstand high temperatures?"

"Withstand high temperatures?"

Ma Yang was taken aback, then frowned and asked, "What do you need this for?"

Qin Chuan replied, "Inside this mountain, I always feel unbearably hot, so I was thinking about whether there was any way to alleviate it."

Upon hearing this, Ma Yang suddenly realized what was happening and lowered his head in deep thought.

After a moment, Ma Yang raised his head and said, "This kind of magic weapon is quite rare..."

Upon hearing this, although he was mentally prepared, a hint of disappointment still flashed in Qin Chuan's eyes.

"but…"

Ma Yang smiled and then said, "I do have some information about such a magical artifact."

Qin Chuan's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly asked, "Where?"

"Fire Flame City, Myriad Treasures Pavilion!"
