The seal in the Qilin Mountain Range was close at hand

Lü Dongbin's expression changed. "How could such a powerful Demon Beast be sealed away?"

"Grand Pure One, but I heard from our ancestor that the place where it was sealed is the place where this Qilin was sealed," said He Xiangu.

"And how do you explain this furnace?" Lü Dongbin continued, "Could it be that this furnace is related to the seal?"

"No, the place of the seal is the valley where the Qilin was sealed, and the valley is also where the Qilin was sealed. However, the Qilin in the valley is dead, but the furnace is not dead; instead, it has become extremely terrifying."

"What? This stove is like that?" Lü Dongbin stared at the stove in astonishment.

"Yes, I just tried to send this furnace to the valley, but it was repelled by a tremendous force the moment it touched the valley, and I couldn't get in at all," He Xiangu said with a wry smile. "Senior Brother Lü, this is troublesome. This is a treasure for sealing the Qilin. What if someone else steals it?"

Lü Dongbin nodded. "I understand. I will do my best to seize this furnace."

Lü Dongbin secretly rejoiced, thinking that he was lucky to have met He Xiangu, otherwise this matter would have been troublesome. However, it was unexpected that this Qilin was actually a great demon from High Antiquity times and that its strength had reached such a level.

"Alright, let's leave here first," said Lü Dongbin.

He Xiangu nodded and left the place with Lü Dongbin.

After the two left, Lü Dongbin's face showed a heavy expression. "It seems that what is sealed in this furnace is more powerful than I imagined. I must hurry, otherwise, once this furnace is discovered by others, I will have no hope left, and may even lose my life."

"Senior Brother Lü, are you planning to hand this furnace over to Master?" Suddenly, a loud, explosive sound came from the furnace, and then the furnace shattered into a pile of rubble.

"Huh?" Both Lü Dongbin and He Xiangu were surprised.

"Senior Brother Lü, no matter what, this furnace must not fall into the hands of others," He Xiangu said.

"I understand, you should go back now," said Lü Dongbin.

He Xiangu nodded, then transformed into a beam of white light and flew away.

Lü Dongbin looked at the spot where He Xiangu had pierced through it and sighed, "But for now, let's get our hands on this treasure first. As for what to do with it later, we'll see."

With a flick of his sleeve, Lü Dongbin sent a ball of flame flying into his palm.

Immediately, Lü Dongbin placed the ball of flame into his Heaven and Earth Bag.

A sharp pain shot through the Heaven and Earth Bag. Lü Dongbin quickly checked and was immediately horrified. "It's been burned!"

Lü Dongbin quickly removed the flames, only to find that the stove was no longer usable.

"What a pity for this treasure," Lü Dongbin said regretfully.

Lü Dongbin then composed himself and walked outside.

Along the way, Lü Dongbin was also busy, constantly searching for fire-attribute minerals, hoping to bring them back to his Heaven and Earth Bag.

"So many... what's the origin of this stove?" Lü Dongbin muttered to himself.

A loud "boom" suddenly rang out.

Lü Dongbin looked up and saw a small mound rolling down the hillside in the distance, then tumbling on the ground.

As Lü Dongbin looked in the direction of the mound, he suddenly had a sense of familiarity.

After thinking carefully, Lü Dongbin suddenly remembered that when he first came to this secret realm, he was trapped inside by a mound of earth.

He had almost died in a mound once, and now, seeing the mound rolling down, he suddenly remembered its location.

Lü Dongbin immediately ran over and rushed towards the spot where the mound had rolled down.

Soon, the place where the mound had rolled over appeared in front of Lü Dongbin, and then Lü Dongbin saw a pit.

It was pitch black inside the pit, and you couldn't see anything at all.

"Could this pit be the fate of the mound?" Lü Dongbin speculated.

"I need to go in and see what this thing is. How could it possibly make such a deafening roar?" Lü Dongbin said.

Lü Dongbin took a deep breath and then jumped into the pit.

It was pitch black in the pit and you couldn't see anything, but the temperature inside was extremely low, making your teeth chatter from the cold.

Lü Dongbin walked around in the pit, then stepped onto a protruding rock.

The rock had many patterns, and streaks of lightning seemed to dance across it. When Lü Dongbin saw the patterns, he was startled, as he had once read about them in a classical text.

"There is some kind of power here, perhaps a power that can help me recover from my injuries," Lü Dongbin thought to himself.

Thinking of this, Lü Dongbin quickened his pace and walked deeper into the pit. Soon he arrived at the bottom of the pit, where he saw a plant emitting a red glow.

The plant looks like a Fire Lotus Flower, with leaves as red as blood, and countless cracks on the red lotus.

The cracks looked like sharp fangs, appearing quite ferocious.

"Fire Lotus!" Lü Dongbin was overjoyed. He never expected to see Fire Lotus here!

This Fire Lotus was formed from High Antiquity Fire Spirit Fire Spirit, whose power was extremely formidable. If he could refine the Fire Lotus, he might be able to recover to his peak condition in a short time, which would be fantastic.

With that in mind, Lü Dongbin did not hesitate to put his palm into the petals of the Fire Lotus Flower.

"Hiss~~~" Lü Dongbin gasped, realizing that this Fire Lotus Flower actually contained fire-attribute power.

He quickly channeled his inner energy, absorbing the fire attribute power of the Fire Lotus Flower into his body.

However, the fire attribute power of the Fire Lotus Flower is very special. It cannot be absorbed by him at will. He needs to slowly integrate and digest it. This process takes a long time, but it is also the fastest way.

After absorbing the Fire Lotus Flower's fire attribute power for about half an hour, Lü Dongbin finally completely digested it.

Although he only absorbed a small portion of the Fire Lotus Flower's power, it was still an incredible fortuitous opportunity for him.

"I never imagined that the power of this Fire Lotus Flower would be so great." Lü Dongbin was extremely excited.

However, when he saw that the leaves of the Fire Lotus Flower were rotting and gradually withering, Lü Dongbin's expression changed slightly.

The Fire Lotus Flower was already withered and was slowly dying, clearly a sign that its vitality was about to fade away.

"Even this Fire Lotus Flower has its time to wither," Lü Dongbin thought to himself.

Lü Dongbin quickly regained his composure and dared not delay any longer. After all, the life force of this Fire Lotus Flower was about to be exhausted, and if he did not pick it soon, it might not even have a last glimmer of life left.
