"Come down with me!"
Qin Shujian stepped forward and descended into the volcano.
The moment he entered the volcano,
the surrounding temperature shot up, hot enough to burn even True Martial Realm cultivators to ashes.
Yet,
Qin Shujian's expression did not change.
Before long,
he landed on a rocky platform.
Before him flowed a river of magma.
The magma's surface was barely two feet below the platform.
It seemed that even the slightest ripple

Shortly after Qin Shujian landed, Fire Sage appeared beside him.
"I've heard that the Vermilion Bird Race can wield greater strength in magma. Is that true?"
Qin Shujian gazed at the magma with his hands behind his back and spoke calmly.

Fire Sage nodded. "Indeed. In fact, it isn't just magma. Anywhere with a strong concentration of fire energy will increase the Vermilion Bird Race's strength."
The Vermilion Bird Race
was born with the ability to control divine fire.

Fire Sage smiled proudly. "I'm not boasting, but no flame can harm the Vermilion Bird Race. We are the masters of all flames under heaven."
Upon hearing that,
Qin Shujian felt a little tempted to fling a Truth-Severing Red Lotus at her and show her who was boss.

Besides,
Fire Sage was obedient enough, and that was all he needed.
Qin Shujian did not ask much of his subordinates. They only needed to obey.
Those who disobeyed,
he would never employ, no matter how capable they were.
"I intend to refine pills. With the magma's help,
