Retrieving the Jade Radiance Flame
Feng Qi flipped his hand, and a jade bottle appeared in his palm.
He glanced cautiously at Song Wen, seeing that Song Wen made no comment.
He then opened the jade bottle, took out a few pills, and swallowed them.
The pill he swallowed was a pill to restore his spiritual power.
As soon as the pill entered his stomach, he couldn't wait to circulate his spiritual energy and refine it.
"Feng Chang, we had a prior agreement that all the spiritual items you possess belong to me. The pills you are currently consuming rightfully belong to me."
Song Wen's voice suddenly rang out.
Feng Qi replied with a smile while silently refining the pill.
"A few pills are nothing to Elder Wu, I'm sure he won't care."
Song Wen said, "A few pills are naturally insignificant. Feng Chang, you've already taken the pills to restore your spiritual power; now hand over your storage ring."
Feng Qi looked at the storage ring on his finger, somewhat hesitant.
"What! Feng Chang, do you want to go back on your word!" Song Wen said.
"For you."
Feng Qi removed his storage ring and tossed it to Song Wen.
Circumstances forced him to yield.
Song Wen did not go to retrieve the storage ring, but instead used his spiritual power to control it, keeping it suspended in mid-air a hundred meters away.
"I swear on my soul..."
According to the agreement he had just made with Song Wen, Feng Qi was about to swear Soul Oath, but Song Wen suddenly interrupted him.
"Feng Chang, wait a minute, you still have spiritual items you haven't given me."
Feng Qi looked bewildered. "All my spiritual items are in my storage ring. Where would I find any more spiritual items?"
"Naturally, it's the ancient cauldron and the Jade Radiance Flame before you."
Feng Qi looked completely taken aback.
"What! You want the Jade Radiance Flame? That's impossible!"
The Jade Radiance Flame was his life-saving treasure; without it, he would lose the right to negotiate with Song Wen Jade Radiance Flame.
Song Wen said, "I can first Soul Oath: as long as you hand over the Jade Radiance Flame, I will never harm you and will let you leave An Ran."
"Is this true?" Feng Qi asked.
"Absolutely true, without any deception..."
When he said the last word, Song Wen's tone suddenly became more forceful.
A chilling, murderous aura permeated the air.
A large amount of blood mist rose from Song Wen's body.
The sudden and shocking change caused Feng Qi's expression to change drastically.
"Wu Sheng, you really do have ill intentions. Since that's the case, then you'll die with me."
Feng Qi's face was contorted with rage as he roared hysterically.
He had no idea what the blood mist that suddenly gushed from Song Wen's body was.
It is unknown what kind of Technique Method Song Wen is using.
But he knew that Song Wen would surely strike with overwhelming force next.
His storage ring had already fallen into Song Wen's hands, and he was no longer able to retrieve the Spirit Artifact within to defend himself.
With his current spiritual power, he cannot sustain the defensive Spirit Artifact for long enough to contend with Song Wen.
So, he made up his mind.
Since Song Wen was determined to kill him, he would not let Song Wen go either.
He squeezed out all the remaining spiritual energy in his body and poured it into the ancient cauldron without reservation.
The platinum flames within the ancient cauldron suddenly shone brightly.
Feng Qi suddenly pushed the ancient cauldron with both hands.
The ancient cauldron shot out instantly, heading straight for Song Wen.
When it was still a hundred meters away from Song Wen, the ancient cauldron suddenly toppled over.
The Jade Radiance Flame slid out from the ancient cauldron.
Originally, there was only one furnace of Jade Radiance Flame. After leaving the ancient cauldron, it seemed to have lost some kind of restraint.
Like an out-of-control wildfire, it spread rapidly and swept across all directions.
The location where Song Wen was situated received special attention.
The platinum flames surged towards Song Wen like a torrent.
Seeing that the Jade Radiance Flame was about to devour Song Wen, Feng Qi's face suddenly lit up with joy.
The blood mist surrounding Song Wen grew increasingly dense, yet he did not cast any Technique Method or activate Spirit Artifact.
By this time, it was too late for Song Wen to launch another attack.
No attack could break through the hundred-meter-long Jade Radiance Flame.
Now is the best time for him to escape.
As for whether Song Wen could survive the burning of the Jade Radiance Flame, he had no time to consider that for the time being.
He was just about to activate his escape technique when he discovered that his spiritual energy was completely depleted.
Fortunately, he still had some pills inside his body that hadn't been fully refined, and he also had a bottle of pills to replenish his spiritual energy.
He hurriedly circulated his Cultivation Method to refine the elixir.
Just then, he noticed.
Just as Song Wen was about to be devoured by the Jade Radiance Flame, he suddenly vanished into the blood mist without a trace.
To his utter astonishment, Song Wen, who had vanished, reappeared before his eyes the next moment.
He was only one meter away!
A long sword had appeared in Song Wen's right hand at some point.
At this moment, Feng Qi had even run out of storage rings and couldn't produce any treasures; his spiritual energy was also completely depleted.
They were utterly powerless to resist.
Song Wen thrust his long sword forward, piercing Feng Qi's chest in the process.
With a slight twist, he held the longsword in his right hand.
Feng Qi's chest was instantly shredded.
"You..."
Feng Qi stared at Song Wen, seemingly wanting to say something, but he only managed to utter one word before falling silent.
Without wasting a moment, Song Wen placed one hand on Feng Qi's head and began to perform the Soul Search Technique.
In the intervals between casting the Soul Search Technique, he didn't forget to glance back at the blazing Jade Radiance Flame.
The Jade Radiance Flame is quite powerful; it would be a pity if it couldn't be captured.
He could only hope that he could find the method of collection in Feng Qi's memories.
The soul-searching process went smoothly. Song Wen learned from his memories that by activating the ancient cauldron and using the fire control method, he could retrieve the Jade Radiance Flame.
The ancient cauldron is a high-grade Spirit Artifact. Feng Qi is dead, the cauldron is now ownerless. Refining it is relatively simple, but it will take about a day.
As for the method of controlling fire, there is a Jade Slip in Feng Qi's storage ring that records a secret technique called "The Limitless Fire-Control True Formula".
The "Limitless Fire-Control True Formula" is extremely profound and complex; it is absolutely impossible for Song Wen to master it in a short period of time.
However, from the fragmented memories obtained through soul searching, Song Wen learned that he only needed to retrieve the Jade Radiance Flame, and did not need to fully comprehend the <Limitless Fire-Control True Formula>.
Understanding the method of controlling the fire is sufficient.
Song Wen was not entirely ignorant of the art of fire control.
When Alchemy, it is also necessary to control the furnace fire.
Song Wen ordered the Sacred Beetle Gu to guard the upstream and downstream of the river.
He was multitasking, refining the ancient cauldron while simultaneously comprehending the art of fire control.
The process went relatively smoothly, and two days later, Song Wen finished his meditation.
He began to try to collect the Jade Radiance Flame.
The Jade Radiance Flame was like a rootless duckweed; retrieving it was not difficult.
After more than ten attempts, Song Wen returned the Jade Radiance Flame to the ancient cauldron.
However, the recovered Jade Radiance Flame was significantly reduced in size.
The Jade Radiance Flame, which was originally the size of a fist, is now only the size of a thumb.
After two days of continuous burning without any replenishment, the Jade Radiance Flame had consumed too much energy.
In addition, Song Wen was not proficient in fire control, and wasted a lot of fire when collecting the Jade Radiance Flame.
Even so, Song Wen was extremely satisfied.
As long as the seeds of the Jade Radiance Flame can be preserved, there will always be a way to nurture and strengthen them.
Song Wen recalled the six Sacred Beetle Gu and turned to leave.
