The Burning Flame Valley was very efficient; by noon, they had delivered the materials Xiao Yan needed.
At the base of an incredibly hot mountain in the Burning Flame Valley, molten lava bubbled up intermittently, then exploded with a loud bang, releasing a burst of violent fire-elemental energy.
Within the magma, numerous unique flame crystals stood, forming a special array that isolated the surrounding magma.
The crystal emitted a strong light, absorbing the fire-attribute energy contained within the magma, forming a special fire-light medicine cauldron inside.
This medicine cauldron is quite large; it's more than enough to cover even the figure of Fire Cloud Ancestor.
Xiao Yan flicked his finger, maximizing the effect of the formation. As the crystal trembled, the surrounding magma fluctuated violently, creating ripples.
Amidst this turbulence, a large amount of fire-attribute energy flowed through the crystal and into the energy cauldron.
After further purification by the cauldron, the Fire Cloud Ancestor, who was sitting cross-legged inside, was gradually submerged by the pure fire-attribute energy liquid.
After the Fire Cloud Ancestor was completely submerged, Xiao Yan, standing to the side, had his palm surging with brilliant Emperor Flame flames as he poured in medicinal herbs, which were quickly refined and purified.
After a while, a drop of bright red liquid appeared on the magnificent Emperor Flame.
Sensing the energy contained in the medicinal liquid, Xiao Yan flicked his finger, and the medicinal liquid immediately passed through the medicine cauldron and entered the liquid energy.
As the medicine was poured in, the liquid immediately turned a deep purplish-black color, and huge bubbles began to churn.
At this moment, Xiao Yan took control of the medicine cauldron, and the flames changed into the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.
When Xiao Yan used the flames, even the Fire Cloud Ancestor felt a chilling coldness that made his very soul tremble.
At the same time, the liquid enveloping him continuously releases intense heat, penetrating his body relentlessly.
In this clash of hot and cold energies, the complex energy within the Fire Cloud Ancestor's body was gradually refined to remove impurities, transforming into drops of liquid with a slightly fishy smell, which were quickly expelled from the Fire Cloud Ancestor's body.
With a large amount of impurities disappearing from his body, Fire Cloud Ancestor's body trembled violently. His tightly furrowed brows gradually revealed bulging veins, and his ferocious face showed that he was enduring extremely intense pain during the treatment.
Seeing that Fire Cloud Ancestor, Dou Sheng, was in such pain, Tang Zhen, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but feel nervous.
Xiao Yan remained calm, and with a wave of his hand, he sent the dazzling white flame in his palm hurtling towards the medicine cauldron.
The flames landed on the medicine cauldron and quickly spread downwards, turning the entire cauldron a deep white.
In an instant, the temperature inside the medicine cauldron rose rapidly, turning Fire Cloud Ancestor into a blazing ember, with hot white steam rising from his head and being expelled through the vents on the cauldron.
The sight of them sent chills down Tang Zhen's spine. If he didn't know that neither of them were ordinary people, he would have thought that Xiao Yan wanted to stew the Fire Cloud Ancestor.
As the Bone Spirit Cold Flame rose, more and more gray liquid seeped out from the body of the Fire Cloud Ancestor.
However, with the calcination of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, these impurities in the liquid are quickly burned off as soon as they appear, thus keeping the inside of the cauldron clean.
After eight hours of this treatment, the Fire Cloud Ancestor finally regained his composure.
However, it must be said that the Dou Sheng caused by Fire Cloud Ancestor's forced breakthrough were too severe, and only by using this method could the accumulated energy in his body be resolved.
Once this problem was solved, the pure energy within the medicine cauldron became an excellent remedy for treating the hidden injuries within the Fire Cloud Ancestor's body.
Half a day later, the spirit of the Fire Cloud Ancestor had undergone a complete transformation.
As the Fire Cloud Ancestor's healing process consumed a great deal of energy, the entire volcano became cool.
The magma surrounding the medicine cauldron gradually became clear as water as a large amount of fire-attribute energy was refined.
The liquid energy filling the medicine cauldron began to decrease as it was absorbed by Fire Cloud Ancestor.
When the energy in the medicine cauldron could no longer be replenished and was completely drained by the Fire Cloud Ancestor, Xiao Yan waved his hand and put away the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.
Sensing the true strength of Dou Sheng Expert, Fire Cloud Ancestor opened his eyes and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He clasped his hands in thanks to Xiao Yan and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, I am deeply grateful. I will remember this kindness."
Xiao Yan smiled faintly and took out three vines of the Green Lotus Core Flame from his Storage Ring: "You should recognize these."
Upon seeing the emerald-like vines, both Fire Cloud Ancestor and Tang Zhen were greatly surprised. "These are actually vines capable of growing Green Lotus Core Flame Flames!"
Although the Green Lotus Core Flame is not ranked as high as the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame of their Burning Flame Valley on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, it is one of the few Heavenly Flames that can grow and form.
In other words, as long as you find a Green Lotus Core Flame and have enough time, you can obtain Green Lotus Core Flame continuously.
Whether for an individual or a thriving power, the value of the Green Lotus Core Flame is immeasurable.
As for Burning Flame Valley, if they could obtain these three Green Lotus Core Flame vines, then a thousand years later, they would have the opportunity to have one person fuse with three Heavenly Flames, thus allowing the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Flame to exert its maximum effect.
A thousand years may be a long time for ordinary people, but it is nothing for an ancient power like Burning Flame Valley.
If it were handed over to a more powerful force like the Pill Tower, it would be enough to drive those Alchemist mad!
After a long while, Fire Cloud Ancestor clicked his tongue and said, "This thing can indeed be exchanged for the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame, but the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame has been refined by my Burning Flame Valley for countless years and has long been imprinted with an extremely special Blood Soul Mark."
Unless one cultivates the Burning Flame Valley technique, even if they obtained the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame, they could not possibly make it their own.
"That's the highest-level cultivation technique of Burning Flame Valley; we can't just give it away along with the technique itself," Fire Cloud Ancestor chuckled. "However, if..."
"If you can form a seal, you can naturally undo it." Xiao Yan waved his hand, made a hand seal with one hand, and shouted at Tang Zhen, "Nine Dragons Lightning Flame, return to your positions!"
Under the dazzling light bursting from Xiao Yan's brow, Tang Zhen, who was enveloped by it, felt as if he were facing an emperor. The Nine Dragons Lightning Flame that he had finally managed to subdue spun around in his body, broke free, and flew away towards Xiao Yan in the shocked gazes of Tang Zhen and Fire Cloud Ancestor.
