Battle Through the Heavens: Even without the Burning Flame Technique, I, Xiao Yan, still became an e

This azure lotus platform was formed over a thousand years. Although the strange fire has been taken away, it is still the breeding ground for the strange fire.

This cyan lotus platform can withstand temperatures of 10,000 degrees Celsius. When one sits on it to cultivate, it will suppress the surrounding spiritual energy to the point where only fire element remains, thus greatly increasing the cultivation speed of fire element cultivators.

At the same time, this thing is also a super weapon. If it is detonated at a temperature exceeding its limit, the resulting explosion will cripple even a peak Dou Wang, let alone a Dou Huang.

Most importantly, this lotus platform also contains several blue lotus seeds, each of which is an extremely high-quality fire-attribute spiritual material!

Even if consumed directly, it can temper one's battle qi, transforming ordinary flame battle qi into azure lotus battle qi. Although it is not as powerful as a true strange fire, it surpasses ordinary beast fire.

Even a Dou Huang powerhouse would experience a significant increase in strength as a result. A single Green Lotus Seed is enough to make a Dou Huang powerhouse willing to risk their life!

Of course, if they lack the strength, many more people might choose to kill and rob.

If these lotus seeds are refined, they can produce powerful sixth-grade pills, each of which is worth millions of gold coins.

However, that's just the listed price; no one would be willing to put it up for trading. At most, it would just be a barter.

This cyan lotus platform may look soft, but it is actually very tough. Even a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor) would not be able to forcibly take it away.

But all things in this world are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. This incredibly resilient blue lotus, when it encounters a piece of high-purity jade, will break at the slightest touch.

Xiao Yan then took out an ancient jade piece from his storage ring. This was something his father had given him, and it had resonated with the tomb of his ancestor Xiao Xuan in the ancestral land of the Xiao family.

Other jade artifacts would melt in the magma as soon as they were taken out, but this ancient jade piece, which Xiao Yan had tried to burn, could not even be burned by a strange fire, and could not even leave any trace, which shows how extraordinary its material is.

Use an antique jade piece to cut off the lotus pedestal and remove the lotus seeds inside.

Xiao Yan counted them; there were eleven green lotus seeds in total.

"You've done a great job this time, here's a reward for you."

Xiao Yan was never stingy with rewards. As soon as he got the lotus seed, he fed it to the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame. This lotus seed, which was extremely powerful with fire, could not be consumed directly by normal people and required various medicines to assist it.

However, for the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire, it was as easy as chewing a candy and swallowing it in one gulp.

After consuming the Green Lotus Seed, Xiao Yan could clearly feel that the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame seemed to have grown a bit and was no longer as small as before.

However, feeding the same thing too much won't have much effect, so I'll keep the remaining ten for myself.

As for the roots and stems of the green lotus, Xiao Yan did not touch them.

All alchemists understand one principle: always leave room for maneuver.

Because the birth of these rare and precious materials is extremely difficult, leaving this green lotus root means that a new green lotus and a strange fire will still grow a thousand years later.

If I were to take this green lotus root away, it would be equivalent to extinguishing the strange fire in this place. It would probably take more than a thousand years for a flower to naturally grow.

It is precisely because countless alchemists left a way out for us that the Dou Qi Continent still has so many resources today.

As an alchemist, Xiao Yan naturally had to abide by these most basic principles and virtues.

"Alright, it's time to go back."

Xiao Yan put away the lotus platform and lotus seeds and began to return the way he came. On the way back, he didn't need to worry too much and just rushed upwards.

After spending more than twenty minutes, Xiao Yan finally returned to the outside of the lava pool.

Qinglin was getting impatient. If she hadn't been in contact with the two-headed snake and knew that Xiao Yan was still alive, she would have been pacing around anxiously.

"Young Master, you're back!"

Qing Lin was overjoyed when she saw Xiao Yan leave the lava pool.

"Well, although we didn't find any strange fire this time, we still gained something. Let's head back now."

After saying that, Xiao Yan was about to leave with Qing Lin when the two-headed snake in the lava pool suddenly jumped out and came to Qing Lin.

With flashes of green light, the two-headed snake's body shrank continuously until it became a small snake, which Qinglin then put into her sleeve.

"You'd better behave, or I'll leave you!"

These words made the two-headed snake feel unhappy again. It was a fourth-tier magical beast, yet it was being treated like a pet snake.

Xiao Yan then picked up Qing Lin, spread his wings and flew out of the passage. Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, who had been waiting outside for several hours, were about to lose their patience.

Upon seeing Xiao Yan and Qing Lin, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Little Yan, you're finally back! How did it go? Did you find the strange fire?"

"Yes, there are indeed traces of strange fire growing below, but it seems that someone else has already taken it. However, I roughly know who took the strange fire. If I'm not mistaken, it should be Queen Medusa of the Snake People."

Everyone present gasped in astonishment upon hearing the name.

Queen Medusa's fearsome and beautiful reputation had long been known throughout the Tagor Desert and several surrounding empires.

Decades ago, when she was still a Dou Wang (Battle King) level expert, several major empires joined forces to send several Dou Wang experts to attack her.

As a result, they were all killed and returned severely injured. Now, she has been a Dou Huang for a long time, and even if the three great empires unite, they will find it difficult to find anyone who can oppose her.

Fortunately, Queen Medusa has kept a low profile in recent years, so the surrounding empires have turned a blind eye to her existence.

"If it's Queen Medusa, then we probably won't be able to get the strange fire."

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were well aware that humans and snake people were mortal enemies, let alone the leader of the snake people.

"No, I think there's still a chance. Queen Medusa's attributes mean she can't devour the strange fire, so it might still be in her hands."

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, everyone was shocked: "Little Yan, you're not planning to go find Queen Medusa, are you? Although your strength is amazing, you're only at the Dou Ling level right now, you're no match for Queen Medusa!"

"Yes, and as you said, her attributes are simply not capable of absorbing different flames. There's no need for us to rush. Let's wait ten years until you become a Dou Huang before we go find her."

Ten years is not a long time for a human being, and Xiao Ding and Xiao Li had no doubt that Xiao Yan would only need ten years to become a Dou Huang.

"Big brother, second brother, don't worry about me. I'm not a reckless person. I know what I'm doing. And if I know there's no chance, I'll naturally stay away. But if I know where the strange fire is, I'll never be willing to give up without trying."

Xiao Yan was quite stubborn in some ways, and once he made up his mind, it was difficult to change it. Xiao Ding and Xiao Li knew their younger brother's temper, so they stopped trying to dissuade him.

"Alright, if it's Xiao Yanzi, we believe you can do it, but after you leave, you can't escape the banquet."
