to venture this far.After two hours had passed, the group finally stepped back onto solid ground and reached the bottom of the abyss."Let's move forward."Feng Zhi danced at the front, leading the way..."I, Lu, have always been independent and never relied on favors from others," the big Han man said stiffly.

Ye Bufan said, "This is nothing. As I said before, I am a doctor. Treating your illness is my duty."

The great Han shook his head stubbornly: "Even doctors have to charge a fee."

Beside her, Hu Yaoyao's expression lit up: "Uncle, are you going to help Little Brother refine a spiritual artifact"

Before, the slovenly old woman introduced this blacksmith, she was full of disdain, thinking that a blacksmith could not possibly forge a magic weapon.

But upon seeing the big man, she realized that he was definitely no ordinary person. He was most likely a master craftsman who had retired to live here in seclusion.

The Great Han shook his head again: "No, I've already said that. I won't refine weapons for him, and right now, with these hands of mine, I don't even have the ability to refine weapons."

Just when Hu Yaya was filled with disappointment, he said again, “However, I can give this young brother some pointers on refining weapons as a way of repaying you for healing me.”

He might not be very good at socializing, and his speech is rather blunt. Changing Ye Bufan's name to "little brother" is already a very intimate gesture.

"Senior, is what you said true"

Hearing the big man's words, Ye Bufan was overjoyed.

As the saying goes, "It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish." If you can learn more advanced forging techniques yourself, it will be invaluable.

But generally speaking, these high-level secret techniques are closely guarded secrets within each school and rarely learned by others.

Hu Yaya was equally excited. As a cultivator, she knew very well how rare it was to be able to refine magical artifacts.

An alchemist of this level would absolutely be treated as a VIP by all major sects, and wherever they went, they would be revered by thousands.

"Follow me."

The Great Han didn't say much, he turned his head and walked towards the small courtyard again. Ye Bufan followed closely behind him.

It's obvious that this chamber was meticulously designed for cultivation, with faint fluctuations of an array surrounding it.

Although it's not very big, about twenty or thirty square meters, it's enough for cultivation.

Entering the room, the big man turned his head and said, "Do you know how to forge"

Ye Bufan nodded: "I have a general understanding!"

"Do you have heterofire"

"Alien Fire"

Ye Bufan was stunned at first, then shook his head. Although he had many treasures, he really didn't have this thing.

"Without an external fire, how could one become a true alchemist"

After the Han man finished speaking, he flicked his finger, and suddenly a purple flame appeared in the secret room, illuminating the previously dim light.

Whether you can truly become a master alchemist depends on whether you can subdue it.

I'll be waiting for you outside. When you have subdued this fire, come find me, and I will teach you the true art of forging.

If you can't, then leave. It means you are not suitable for refining weapons.

"Little brother, come on! I believe you can definitely succeed!"

Hu Yao Yao gave Ye Bufan a flirtatious smile and struck an alluring pose, saying, "When you succeed, I'll reward you well."

"Um..."

Ye Bufan had a black line on his forehead. This woman, even at this time, didn't forget to tease him.

Hu YaoYao said again: "Little brother, I'll wait for you outside too. By the way, don't spend too long."

I just received a message from the academy, saying that tomorrow, students from the Qingyu Branch will be here for an exchange competition. They require the top ten on the Heaven Ranking to return to their teams.

Although Ye Bufan is currently ranked third on the Heavenly Rankings, he has only recently entered the academy. His communication jade hasn't received the academy's imprint yet, so he naturally can't receive corresponding notifications. He can only rely on Hu Yaoyao to inform him.

"Oh!"

Ye Bufan nodded and didn't take it too seriously. His attention was now fully focused on the purple flame.

Hu Yaya didn't disturb him any further, turned and walked out, closing the door behind her.

After the outside light was blocked, the purple flame in the room became even more prominent.

Ye Bufan's eyes were fixed on the flames, this thing was completely different from the ordinary flames he had seen before, even the true essence condensed dan fire could not compare.

Floating in mid-air, constantly changing shape, as if it had a life of its own.

He tried to probe it with his divine sense, trying to figure out what it was.

But unexpectedly, as soon as his divine sense approached, it was instantly turned into nothingness.

"What a high temperature!"

Ye Bufan's face was full of astonishment.

This flame, from a distance, gives off no heat at all. But once you approach it, it becomes unbearably hot, far hotter than any burning fire could ever be.

Only now did he feel the truth of it, this flame was no ordinary fire. This was his first taste of the power of an alien fire.

At the same time, he understood what the great Han had just said: only by controlling this incredibly powerful flame could one melt all things and become a true alchemist.

But the problem is, how do you subdue this thing He has no experience, and there's nothing about it in the ancient medical traditions either.

Ye Bufan slowly, cautiously approached the purple flame.

As he got closer to the flames, a sudden wave of intense heat hit him, forcing him to retreat.

"Wow!"

Ye Bufan once again experienced the power of flame. Just in that moment, he even felt a sense of oppression and domineering aura.

This is clearly a feeling only experienced by high-level cultivators, yet it appears to be manifesting in a ball of fire.

At the same time, he also felt endless heat. If he hadn't already reached the realm of early stage body refinement, he would have been severely injured this time, or even turned to ashes.

"I don't believe that I, a living person, can't defeat you, a mere flame."

Ye Bufan wasn't discouraged at all; instead, it ignited his fighting spirit. His brain raced, thinking of ways to conquer the flame in front of him.

To subdue this blaze would be a monumental task, requiring an immense amount of time and effort. Unfortunately, he simply doesn't have the luxury of that kind of time.

It's definitely not enough to rely on yourself, you have to think of other ways.

He went through all the treasures he possessed, from beginning to end. The magic refinement bottle was out of the question; though a divine artifact, it was useless for this situation.

The Heavenly Thunder Orb doesn't seem to work either. Thunder and fire originate from the same source, so it's not very effective against this thing.

And with his current spiritual power, he is unable to unleash the full potential of the Heavenly Thunder Bead.

Then let's try Dragon Fang and see if we can subdue this little thing.

Just in case, Ye Bufan added several defensive enchantments inside the quiet room. Then with a flash of golden light, Longya appeared in his palm and slashed towards the purple fire in front of him.

According to his thoughts, he hoped to suppress the flame in front of him with the might of the artifact.

It turned out he was wrong. The strike not only failed to suppress the purple flames, but also caused them to erupt instantly.

A scorching aura, incredibly violent, swept in overwhelmingly. It not only sent Dragon Tooth flying but also shook him back, causing him to crash heavily against the stone chamber's wall.

"Damn, this thing is too powerful, right"

Ye Bufan got up from the ground, raising his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. This was his first injury since he had reached a small accomplishment in refining his body.

Fortunately, the injury was not serious. With his current powerful physique, he could recover quickly.

Even like this, I wouldn't dare to try again. Once I truly angered this flame, if I were burned to death then it would be tragic.

How can this thing be subdued Suddenly, he had an idea!ed. But the aura of power they emanated surpassed all others.The man in black reached out from the void atop the tower, summoning a giant crimson blade that landed in his palm. It was the Blood Demon...
