Qin He strolled through the sea of fire. Several decades had passed.
The Samadhi True Fire was no longer as terrifyingly powerful as before, having weakened considerably. Yet to ordinary cultivators, it remained an untouchable terror.
Even if someone in the Divine Bridge Realm became tainted by it, death was the only path unless they severed an arm to survive.
Decades had gone by, yet turbid underworld air still spewed forth and ignited wherever the blazing flames burned.
In this place where the supernatural had lain dormant for who knew how many thousands or tens of thousands of years, there was still plenty left to burn.
Qin He casually picked up a crystal from the flames. It somewhat resembled melted quartz, murky and opaque, with three colors.
He flicked it with a finger, producing a clear metallic clang.
It contained fire-aspect Origin Power infused with Samadhi True Fire. Like fire itself, its three colors blended together, violent and turbulent.
This was likely considered good quality, a treasure in the eyes of outsiders. But to Qin He, it was no different from an ordinary stone; the spiritual energy was far too thin.
One or two pieces, even ten or eight pieces, were practically equivalent to nothing.
They would probably need to be piled into a small mountain before they could serve any purpose.
Of course... this was the difference in position and strength. The value of an item had always been determined by how much a group was willing to offer in exchange for it.
As he gradually ventured deeper into the flames, Qin He discovered some things that were clearly far more valuable than Three Flame Stones.
For instance, certain fire-aspect plants had not only avoided being burned to ash, but had instead grown exceptionally lush.
