Flame Emperor: You Are the Son of the Continent! Knockoff Soul Artifacts Are Insane

Thunderfire Refining Method combined with abundant resources for crafting Soul Artifact —what is this?

This incredible wealth has come my way!

"Young Yuan, where did you find so many Extreme Spirit Crystal Ore?" Old Yao asked curiously. 😎🐨 ♢🐻

Divided proportionally, this stone slab is equivalent to twenty pieces of Sixth-tier Extreme Spirit Crystal Ore and five pieces of Seventh-tier Extreme Spirit Crystal Ore, far inferior to the Eighth-tier quality that his old friend Feng Xian obtained back then.

But the quantity was indeed quite large, which made him a little curious.

"This is a door I obtained along with the Flying Dou Technique. I thought it was special, so I dismantled it and brought it back." Zhang Yuan explained how he went out to observe the situation caused by the Earth Dragon Overturn and "accidentally" discovered a cave.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but say enviously, "Cousin, the teacher was right, you're the favored son of the Dou Qi Continent, aren't you?"

"I've been wandering the Magical Beast Mountain Range for almost half a year and haven't even found a few valuable grade-one medicinal herbs. But you went out to check on an earthquake and found a cave full of herbs, the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, High-level Profound tier Dou Technique Flying Dou Technique, Mysterious-tier high-grade cultivation method, Extreme Spirit Crystal Ore."

Zhang Yuan:

The true Son of the Continent is you. The reason you can't find the advanced medicinal herbs is because I picked them all in advance and gave them to Xiao Yi Xian.

But what's yours is mine, so it's pretty much the same thing.

"Senior, this item was also obtained from that cave, and it wasn't inside a box, but rather within the bones of a powerful expert. I sense it's extraordinary, but I don't recognize it at all. Could you please take a look?"

Zhang Yuan took out an old, yellowed scroll from his Storage Ring.

His words successfully piqued everyone's curiosity. After taking the scroll and opening it, the Old Yao's brows immediately furrowed.

"What is this?" Xiao Yan leaned closer to examine it and discovered that the drawing was made of some kind of magical beast hide, with irregular patterns carved on it, resembling fingers or toes, which was very strange and looked like ghost writing.

If Zhang Yuan hadn't said this thing was extraordinary, he would have thought it was just a child's doodle, or that the powerful figure was joking.

"I think this is a fragmented map, but we can't figure out the specific information," Zhang Yuan said.

"A map? And it's incomplete?" Xiao Yan immediately lost interest, feeling that this thing was not very interesting.

But he didn't notice that Old Yao's brows were furrowing deeper and deeper, and Xun'er, who had also gone over to watch out of curiosity, was now looking very serious.

A moment later, the Old Yao's gaze sharpened as he noticed a blurry, lotus-like object in the corner of the parchment. After examining it closely, his expression changed slightly.

The blueprints had turned extremely yellow due to the erosion of time. Old Yao moved closer and observed carefully, and could still clearly see that the lotus-shaped thing was black, with a thin layer of black flame adhering to its surface, giving the whole lotus an extremely eerie feeling.

This was the first time Xiao Yan had ever seen him behave so out of control, and he immediately dared not be negligent.

But before he could ask, the Old Yao Xun'er, "Is it that one?"

"It should be." Xun'er nodded, a look of surprise in her eyes, and turned to look Zhang Yuan up and down.

Xiao Yan wasn't wrong; Brother Yuan really does have the air of a Dou Qi Continent. He could obtain something like this just by casually witnessing an Earth Dragon Overturn.

However, this good fortune is also a blessing, as it gives them a greater chance to become one of the strongest individuals on the continent and marry someone from the Ancient Clan.

"What is this? Can you stop speaking in riddles?" Xiao Yan asked, puzzled.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame!" Old Yao's eyes shone with dazzling light.

"Purifying Lotus Demon Flame?" Xiao Yan scratched his head and said, "This thing seems to be ranked third on the Heavenly Flame Ranking you mentioned, Teacher?"

After saying this, Xiao Yan subconsciously licked his lips.

Goodness gracious! The third-ranked Heavenly Flames on the Heavenly Flame Ranking! If I could devour it using the Flame Mantra, what level would the Flame Mantra's grade grow to?

The legendary Heaven Tier cultivation technique!?

"The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, ranked third on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, has the special effect of purifying all things. Anything that touches it, even the slightest bit, will be purified into nothingness. Its power is extremely terrifying. It is said that there are only two or three of them on the entire continent, but according to the analysis of our clan's experts, it has appeared several times in a row that it is the same one," Xun'er said.

Yao Chen nodded and said, "The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is extremely mysterious. No one knows where this Heavenly Flames is. The reason I was able to recognize it is because I saw some rudimentary traces similar to this thing when I was searching for Heavenly Flames."

"Could this incomplete map record the location of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame?"

At this point, even the Old Yao was somewhat shocked.

That's the third on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. According to Xun'er, an Ancient Clan member, there's only one of its kind in the world.

The value of this fragment of the map is immeasurable.

"It's a pity it's just a fragment of a map; the information is so vague, it can't be of much help," Xiao Yan said, somewhat greedily.

"It's all luck that you got this fragment of the map," Zhang Yuan laughed. "After all, it's the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, something most people probably haven't even heard of. Moreover, it's ranked third on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, meaning only legendary Dou Sheng Expert are qualified to Control realm. Even if you know about it now, you can only watch from the sidelines."

"Take it slow, this is just the beginning. Perhaps there will be opportunities to work on other fragments in the future."

As he spoke, Zhang Yuan casually tossed the incomplete map to Xiao Yan.

"Give it to me!?" Xiao Yan was stunned.

"Otherwise what?" Zhang Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't need this."

Xiao Yan clutched the incomplete map, too moved to speak.

My cousin's kindness to me is as deep as the sea, and our kinship is stronger than gold!

If I were a woman, I'm afraid even offering myself in marriage wouldn't be enough to repay her.

He could only promise that if anyone were to harm Zhang Yuan in the future, they would have to step over his own dead body first.

"I won't stand on ceremony with my cousin." Xiao Yan carefully hid the incomplete map.

Zhang Yuan smiled and nodded, then turned and disappeared with Xun'er, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yi Xian.

Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian originally came to Xiao Yu's weapon-refining room to find Zhang Yuan to go back for a meal.

"Little Yan, stop daydreaming. Only when you become stronger can you help Yuan and repay him for his dedication and high regard for you," Old Yao said with a smile.

Now, every time he sees Zhang Yuan and Xiao Yan, he thinks of his past self Feng Xian.

I wonder how Falling Star Pavilion is doing now that I'm gone. Even if my old friend is all alone, he must be struggling to keep going.

"I know, teacher!" Xiao Yan nodded.

He still needs to work harder to become stronger and improve his alchemy skills; it's far from enough!

One hour later.

After finishing his meal, Zhang Yuan said to the four women, "I have some things to attend to."

He was eager to get his hands on the exact quantity of those Extreme Spirit Crystal Ore, which he didn't know but was definitely not small.

Upon reaching the outer boundary, Zhang Yuan stepped out of his cave and flew into the air to observe the surrounding terrain.

This is a cliff that is not too high, about 100 feet high, and the entrance to the cave is only a few dozen feet from the top.

With his current strength, he can't completely create the cave dwelling.

"That's right, you can do it this way."

Zhang Yuan suddenly had an idea and immediately released his Soul Power.

When he used his Spiritual Sense to find the entrance to the cave, he made an error of relying on experience, only knowing to sense the surface of the cliff to find the entrance, so he did not find the entrance to the cave that was hidden by the door of the Extreme Spirit Crystal Ore.

If he could perceive more of the interior of the cliff, he would be able to detect anomalies in areas that his soul power could not penetrate, and thus deduce the location of the cave.

Fortunately, it's not too late to understand now.

"This cave dwelling owner is truly a talented individual."

After sensing it for a while, Zhang Yuan uttered this sigh.

This cave dwelling was actually built within a very small, approximately 100-zhang-long vein of Extreme Spirit Crystal.

To be precise, the owner of the cave dug a cave in a Extreme Spirit Crystal mine, using it as a place of seclusion, and eventually passed away there, leaving behind a collection of relics that are considered top-tier within the Jia Ma Empire.

This powerful individual is most likely Dou Wang), and possibly even Dou Emperor Battle Emperor). Moreover, he is a native of the Jia Ma Empire and certainly wouldn't recognize the Extreme Spirit Crystal Ore, yet he discovered this place to be special, which can be described as astonishing luck.

"This vein isn't large, you could even say it's extremely small, but given its location, taking it away seems rather difficult," Zhang Yuan pondered.

Then he quickly realized that he could call for backup.

"Elder Ling."

Zhang Yuan called out.

Ling Ying immediately appeared in front of him.

"That's how it is," Zhang Yuan explained the situation of the Extreme Spirit Crystal mine.

Ling Ying was speechless for a moment.

He was speechless at Zhang Yuan's incredible luck, and also at the fact that he, Dou Zong expert, was now forced to work as a miner.

Fortunately, this mine is not large, and with his abilities, he can handle it quickly.

"Once all the Extreme Spirit Crystal Ore has been mined, I'll help Elder Ling refine a set of Sixth-grade robes and a mask to amplify your dark attribute Dou Qi, further enhancing your concealment abilities," Zhang Yuan said.

Ling Ying's eyes lit up, and she said, "Young Master, please give me your orders."

Whether he wore a Sixth-grade Sixth-grade or not was unimportant; what mattered was that he enjoyed working for Zhang Yuan.

Over the next two days, Zhang Yuan acted as a radar tool, while Ling Ying was a miner, digging outwards from the deepest part of the cave to excavate the entire vein of Extreme Spirit Crystal Ore.

During this process, Zhang Yuan also used the Five Dragon Thunder Gang Fire to perform preliminary smelting of these Extreme Spirit Crystal Ore, turning them into relatively higher quality Extreme Spirit Crystal.

After the excavation was completed, he obtained several thousand sixth-tier silver Extreme Spirit Crystal, over a hundred Seventh-tier gold Extreme Spirit Crystal, and three Eighth-tier black-gold Extreme Spirit Crystal.

Putting everything else aside, just consider these Eighth-tier Extreme Spirit Crystal. When Venerable Feng took one from the Dou Zun Tomb to refine into the Bone Flame Ring for Old Yao, it was already priceless, let alone three.

If it were auctioned on the mainland, it might not attract Dou Sheng Expert, but it would definitely get Dou Zun expert to participate in the bidding.

"Get rich, get rich~"

Zhang Yuan was in a very good mood, but he didn't tell anyone about it.

It doesn't matter if Ling Ying knows; he's only responsible to Xun'er and won't tell the Ancient Clan.

Even if the Ancient Clan knew, most people wouldn't stoop so low as to try and seize it. Just like a trillionaire wouldn't covet a billionaire's assets, perhaps a few individuals might not care, but they would still have to give Xun'er face.

"Let's refine a Soul Token first to test our skills, and then get one for each Xiao Clan."

When that time comes, the younger generation of the Xiao Clan will all be going to the Jia Nan Academy, and he needs to ensure their safety.

Even if it's about interests, not blood ties or feelings, he couldn't bear to watch these people die.

He only squandered a little bit of resources, but once he and Xiao Yan both broke through to the Dou Emperor, Xiao Clan activated the Dou Emperor Bloodline twice, they would soar to become one of the most talented and strongest people on the continent.

In an instant, these people will become our most loyal and capable allies, and when they go out into the Great Thousand World, they can become the backbone of our team.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan raised his hand and summoned the Five Dragon Thunder Gang Fire, then tossed in a piece of Extreme Spirit Crystal.

When Xun'er gave him a Soul Token, she said that it wasn't difficult to make. All you needed was fire, and the materials used weren't high-grade either. It was Fourth-tier Soul Breaking Jade Stone, which was quite rare and hard to come by, but it was nothing special for the Ancient Clan with tens of thousands of years of history.

Zhang Yuan felt that using the Thunder Flame Method and Extreme Spirit Crystal to refine counterfeit goods was a waste of his talents.

But an hour later, he looked at the two identical silver plaques in his hand and fell into deep thought.

"What's this?"

"Can the knock-off beat the original?"

"Battle Through the Heavens Continent version of a pager?"

Walkie-talkie? Or cell phone?
