The Supreme Treasure Beneath the Imperial Palace, Part Two

"Tap tap!"

The Abyssal Bone Warhorse made a crisp sound as it rode across the ground of the Sky-Supporting Imperial Capital.

A cold, damp wind blew by, and neither the Nightmare Domain nor the external scanning detected any evil spirits or beasts on the ground.

Similarly, no treasures were detected on the ground.

The area above the entire Sky-Supporting Imperial Capital was now completely empty.

The Abyssal Bone Warhorse was very fast, and along the way, the cheat program scanned out many treasures below, including some level 13 items.

But Cao Fengqi did not linger and went straight to the location of the imperial palace in Sky-Supporting Imperial Capital.

"According to the map of the Sky-Supporting Imperial Capital, this area ahead should be the former site of the imperial palace."

As the capital of the Mechanical Empire, it covers a vast area, spanning a full 20 kilometers.

"It really is here!"

Cao Fengqi sat on his Abyssal Bone Warhorse, his gaze fixed on a huge stone tablet in front of him.

The stone tablet is ten meters high and has the words "Imperial Palace Site, No Trespassing" written on it.

The powerful and vigorous characters speak of the former prosperity and majesty of this imperial palace, now that both the people and the buildings are gone.

"According to the records of the Mechanical Empire, the Mechanical Empire once faced a powerful crisis. The emperor at that time mined a powerful metal from beneath the imperial palace to suppress all the villains."

Cao Fengqi muttered to himself, meaning that the area beneath the imperial palace had been mined.

There is also an underground world.

As the underground palace of an empire, it naturally sits at the core of the entire mine.

"The records state that the metal beneath the imperial palace was not completely mined, but it's unclear whether this is true or not."

"However, I can scan it myself; even if only some metal remains, its grade will definitely be very high."

Cao Fengqi thought to himself as he walked towards the interior of the imperial palace.

The ground of the imperial palace is distinctly different from other places, paved with massive bluestones that bear the heavy marks of history.

"Huh, what's going on? Why isn't the cheat detecting anything?"

However, after advancing for ten kilometers, almost reaching the core of the Imperial Palace, the external scanner did not transmit any information.

This caused Cao Fengqi to frown slightly.

"That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that the underground world of the Imperial Palace is deeper?"

He guessed, hesitated for a moment, and then summoned the Guilou.

"Dig a hole."

Cao Fengqi gave it a command.

"Roar roar roar!"

The Guilou let out a low growl; it was a highly skilled digger and quickly began to dig downwards.

They quickly dug out three or four kilometers.

Cao Fengqi moved swiftly and jumped directly into the cave.

[A 7-kilometer radius has been scanned, revealing 25 new level 8 supplies, 14 level 9 supplies, 10 level 10 supplies, 7 level 11 supplies, 3 level 12 supplies, and 1 level 14 supply.]

"!!!"

When Cao Fengqi gone about four kilometers into the cave, the message from the external device came through.

"As expected, there are treasures. I knew there couldn't be no treasures beneath the Imperial Palace."

"A level 14 treasure!"

An excited look appeared on his face as his gaze fell on the location of the level 14 supplies.

It's about six kilometers to the lower right.

This distance isn't very far.

"A level 14 treasure is still something to be careful about."

Cao Fengqi stopped letting the Guilou dig; he wanted to wait until the Return to the Herd skill was fully charged before starting to move.

This is the Imperial Palace, and the evil beasts below are likely even more powerful and terrifying than those elsewhere.

There might be level 12 or 13 evil spirits and beasts.

He must be fully prepared.

"Guilou, dig."

Cao Fengqi waited until Return to the Herd's skill cooldown was over before giving the order.

"Roar!"

The Guilou let out a low growl and began digging towards the location of the level 14 treasure.

Hopefully, there aren't any powerful evil beasts.

He prayed silently as he watched.

Six kilometers is not a long distance for the Guilou. When Cao Fengqi saw that the Guilou was only 1 meter away from the level 14 treasure, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Before reaching the underground world, the surroundings were still all soil and ore."

He stared intently until the Guilou unearthed the level 14 treasure.

Cao Fengqi clenched his fists tightly, suppressing his excitement, and saw the treasure's shape clearly through the Guilou's perspective.

A fiery red stone, the entire stone resembling a lotus flower clustered together.

The rock is not large, only about two meters in size.

Is it metal?

Cao Fengqi's mind stirred, Guilou carrying the stone came to his side.

[Golden Lotus Mysterious Flame: Level 14]

[Effect: A unique flame nurtured under special conditions within a high-level mineral vein can be absorbed and integrated into a similar extraordinary flame to obtain the powerful might of the Golden Lotus Mysterious Flame.]

[Note: Absorption and fusion are achieved by enveloping the Golden Lotus Mysterious Flame in a transcendent flame; the success rate of absorption and fusion is extremely low.]

When Cao Fengqi saw the specific information about the stone, his gaze sharpened.

"It's not metal, that's great!"

"A strange fire! It's actually a strange fire from heaven and earth!"

His face was full of excitement; Cao Fengqi knew a little about the precious strange fire.

During the initial competition for coastal quotas, there was a Lieutenant General Gu who controlled a different kind of fire. Relying on this fire, even though he was an ordinary Arcane Mage, he still managed to defeat his opponent, who was a mystical mage.

In addition, there is a level 10 Dragon Heart Mysterious Flame in the official Tianbei treasury.

Now, there was actually a level 14 Golden Lotus Mysterious Flame in front of him.

Different flames are extremely powerful and extremely rare.

Once absorbed, one can use the strange fire to kill enemies. At the same time, one can also integrate the strange fire into spells to greatly enhance their power.

Generally speaking, except for water-attribute spells, different types of fire can be fused with other spells.

"Absorbing and fusing it while enveloped in extraordinary fire? The success rate is extremely low?"

Cao Fengqi looked at the notes for the Golden Lotus Mysterious Flame and a smile appeared on his face.

Since the method of absorption and fusion is very simple, there is no such thing as failure for him.

He stretched out his palm, the Transcendent Emberfire burning, and placed it directly on the Golden Lotus Mysterious Flame.

A very peculiar feeling came over him; he could sense that the Transcendent Emberfire was gradually absorbing the Golden Lotus Mysterious Flame.

At this moment, he felt extremely comfortable all over, as streams of powerful and pure energy flowed into his body, cleansing his form.

"Huh, my physical condition is improving."

Cao Fengqi noticed the changes in his body and immediately checked his attributes, discovering that his physique was gradually increasing.

"As expected of a level 14 treasure of heaven and earth, it can even improve and enhance physical constitution."

He looked on with a face full of surprise.

The absorption process was very slow. As the strange fire was absorbed and fused, the two-meter-long Golden Lotus Mysterious Flame gradually shrank.

"Boom!"

Three hours later, as a series of messages appeared in Cao Fengqi's mind, he had Perfect control over the Golden Lotus Mysterious Flame.

Upon seeing this information, Cao Fengqi was slightly taken aback, then revealed a look of surprise. "So powerful! Absorbing this Golden Lotus Mysterious Flame has given me three more powerful skills."
