Yan Chutian was clear of his own strength. Perhaps, if he were to face Zhao Hong and Dong Puti now, he would still have the strength to exchange blows with them. However, if he were to face a genuine Yuan Dan stage practitioner, it would still be too much of a stretch.
Moreover, Lu Yang was a Holy Son, so he would definitely be more outstanding than ordinary cultivators. This would make this matter even more difficult.
However, Yan Chutian was unwilling to give up because this might be the only way to find the Thousand Year Essence Flame. Furthermore, the Thousand Year Essence Flame was related to his cultivation of the Mysterious Yang Scripture, so how could he delay it!
As Yan Chutian's expression rapidly changed, Dong Puti suddenly smiled strangely and said, "However, it's not like you don't have a chance. After all, the Thousand Year Essence Flame is something that can only be found by chance. If you want to obtain it, not only do you need strength, you also need a certain amount of luck."
"Moreover, I know of a few places that might have the Thousand Year Essence Flame. I can take you there."
Dong Puti's sudden words immediately made Yan Chutian cautious. He was not a fool and naturally did not think that the other party would help him for no reason. As the saying goes, one who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions!
Yan Chutian suddenly fell silent. How could the intelligent Dong Puti not know that the other party was being cautious? Thus, she generously confessed, "The Flame Cave produces Flame Ear, but what is rarely known is that the Flame Cave also has a Spirit Grade Six Veins Heaven and Earth Treasure — the Blood Flame Grass!"
Only then did Yan Chutian understand. It turned out that the other party had the same objective as her. Now that he thought about it, this woman had probably approached him with the intention of cooperating with him from the beginning. It was only to dispel his wariness that she went through so many twists and turns.
Sure enough, even in the mortal world, there was no lack of intelligent young cultivators. If they were placed in the Heavenly Realm, where their starting point was higher, they might even become top geniuses.
Returning to the main topic, since the other party had the same thoughts as him, Yan Chutian gladly agreed. Following which, under Dong Puti's lead, he walked step by step into the depths of the Flame Cave.
After the two of them left, the surrounding disciples couldn't help but feel disappointed. They had originally thought that they would be able to see the new disciple miserably hit a wall, but in the end, the two of them seemed to have reached some kind of agreement and actually walked together.
But since there was nothing to see, they left and went back to their own cultivation.
…
In the depths of the Flame Cave, a cold-faced man in red robes grabbed a sparkling substance that resembled quicksand from the ground. The substance emitted a red light and a warm aura faintly spread out. Just a whiff of it would make one feel comfortable all over, as if it could even raise one's cultivation base a little.
However, when the cold-faced man saw this red substance, he didn't feel joy. Instead, he felt furious.
"Senior Apprentice Brother Lu doesn't need to worry. As long as there is an essence flame in this Flame Cave, we will definitely be able to find it and give it to Senior Apprentice Brother Lu to cultivate."
The surrounding disciples quickly spoke up. Among them, there was no lack of people at the level of a Quasi-Holy Son. Although there was only a single word difference between Quasi-Holy Son and Holy Son, there was still a large difference in status, so there were Quasi-Holy Sons who were willing to follow the Holy Son.
Hearing the persuasion of the surrounding disciples, the cold-faced man's anger disappeared. He gently nodded and handed the red substance in his hand, which was the hundred-year essence flame, to them.
Then he didn't even turn his head and continued to lead the way in the cave filled with magma to search …
At the same time, under the lead of Dong Puti, Yan Chutian arrived at the first place where there might be a thousand-year essence flame.
Looking into the distance, there was fiery red magma in front of them. Waves of heat rose up, as if the entire space was dyed blood red. Not to mention a late stage Spirit Transformation cultivator, even a peak stage Spirit Transformation cultivator would not be able to ignore this heat.
Therefore, there were no other disciples here, only Yan Chutian and Dong Puti. It was also because of this that Yan Chutian truly believed that there might be a thousand-year essence flame in front of them.
However, after walking a few feet forward, Yan Chutian did not see the thousand-year essence flame. Instead, he saw strands of fiery aura slowly rising from the magma. They quickly intertwined on the surface of the magma and turned into a four-legged beast that appeared, roaring like thunder.
"This is …"
"It's your first time here, so it's normal that you don't know about this. This is a Flame Beast, a strange life form unique to the Flame Cave. However, they can't be considered life forms and will only appear occasionally. However, don't underestimate them because of this. Although Flame Beasts do not have intelligence, they have the instincts of wild beasts. Moreover, Flame Beasts are not weak. There are strong ones that are comparable to elixir cultivators. They are very powerful! "
Dong Puti quickly explained. However, even if she did not explain, how could Yan Chutian not know about this strange life form? After roaming the Heaven Realm for a long time, he had already seen many similar existences.
However, he never thought that there would be one in the Flame Cave.
As for the so-called Flame Beast in front of him, its cultivation had already reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
"How about it, do you want to make a move or should I?"
Dong Puti asked. Although she seemed to be asking, there was a trace of provocation in her words. Yan Chutian could naturally hear the provocation in her words, but this kind of provocation was insignificant. Could it be that he was able to defeat Zhao Hong, who was at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, so why would he be afraid of a Flame Beast at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm?
Therefore, after glancing at the wild beauty beside him, Yan Chutian dashed out and went straight for the Flame Beast.
As if it felt the aura of an attack, the originally calm Flame Beast suddenly roared. Its blood-red eyes locked onto Yan Chutian. Its entire body was covered in flames and like a beast-shaped fireball, it pounced towards the former.
However, when they really fought, Yan Chutian felt that this Flame Beast was not simple. When the Flame Beasts attacked, there would be strands of scorching aura that would invade his body. These flame auras were like toxins, constantly eroding his Spiritual Power and even his body. Fortunately, he had cultivated the "Na Thunder Technique". Otherwise, he would be in an extremely difficult situation.
At the same time, he also understood why Dong Puti would secretly provoke him. She wanted to see him in a sorry state when he was caught off guard.
However, he was afraid that he would have to disappoint her.
In less than half an hour, the Flame Beast was disintegrated by Yan Chutian. When the Flame Beast was disintegrated, a bright red ball of flames floated in the air. Before he could put it away, Dong Puti's warning came from behind him.
"That is Flame Qi. Although it contains extremely pure spiritual energy, it contains a flame poison. The flame poison is much more terrifying than the one released by the Flame Beast. Therefore, do not try to absorb it, or else you will end up in a miserable state."
"Flame Poison …"
Yan Chutian muttered to himself. However, he did not stop what he was doing and immediately put away the ball of Flame Qi. Perhaps other people would not be able to deal with the flame poison, but that did not include him.
Seeing that Yan Chutian was still withdrawing his flame qi, Dong Puti was disinclined to say anything more. In her opinion, the other party would not give up until all hope was gone. Wait till he felt the terror of the flame poison, he would naturally give up.
