Lu Chen possesses master-level weapon-forging skills, so forging a weapon would be extremely easy for him. Moreover, he doesn't need to make the weapon particularly sophisticated; as long as it's sharp enough, that's sufficient.

Therefore, Lu Chen immediately took action.

These crimson iron ores were placed in scorching magma and tumbled continuously.

The impurities in the Crimson Flame Iron Ore were gradually removed, and the ore became increasingly pure. In the end, Lu Chen refined the ore into an iron pickaxe.

"I wonder how these people in the past managed to mine these Crimson Iron Ore. Was it really that complicated?"

Lu Chen harbored doubts. Not everyone possessed the skill of weapon forging. How were these incredibly tough Crimson Flame Iron Ore extracted? If the other party had more powerful tools, then they wouldn't need Crimson Flame Iron Ore.

Of course, nothing is absolute.

"wrong."

Lu Chen was just about to start mining the Crimson Flame Iron Ore when suddenly he felt something was wrong with his body.

At first, he felt quite uncomfortable in this mine, as the scorching heat required him to do his best to resist it.

But gradually, he discovered that he could adapt completely even without the power of the stars. After carefully sensing it, he found that his body was unconsciously absorbing the scorching heat here, and it even seemed quite comfortable.

"What happened?"

Lu Chen was startled. He calmed himself down and simply sat down to the side to cultivate quietly.

During this cultivation, Lu Chen felt that he had discovered something extraordinary.

"The Chaos Divine Body is truly wondrous and unpredictable. After cultivating the Chaos True Scripture, it can even directly absorb natural energy from nature and turn it into its own. This is too terrifying."

This discovery filled Lu Chen with immense joy.

Originally, for Lu Chen, the fastest way to cultivate was to use the system to constantly refresh rewards and level up directly through system rewards.

This is the most direct method, without any side effects, and the speed is unparalleled, unlike others who may only achieve a small breakthrough after decades of seclusion.

Lu Chen, on the other hand, could achieve this simply by speaking.

However, Lu Chen must find a suitable target; otherwise, he will not be able to obtain the system reward.

But now, Lu Chen has discovered that he has another way to cultivate quickly.

"This is a really nice place. Haha, I'll stay here for now. No one will bother me. I'll go into seclusion and improve my strength as much as possible."

Lu Chen had never really wanted to cultivate, but the situation was different now. As soon as he went out, he was hunted down. At first, Lu Chen had planned to join the bandits and sneak in to see what benefits he could get.

But now, such a great opportunity is right in front of me, and I can't afford to miss it.

"The Chaos Scripture can absorb all the energy in the universe; it is truly wondrous."

Lu Chen remembered that he had cultivated the Sun True Scripture and the Moon True Scripture back then.

However, after the system was upgraded, the two techniques merged and became the Chaos True Scripture, which greatly enhanced his strength.

This is the most suitable exercise method for me.

“Absorbing the power of stars for cultivation is just one kind of energy among all things in the universe. There are many different kinds of energy in the universe! Earth fire is one of them.”

Lu Chen felt his dantian constantly contracting, absorbing the earth fire energy, which filled the internal space of his dantian, and then, in a strange way, integrated into his whole body, circulating continuously through the eight extraordinary meridians.

Lu Chen felt his body being constantly transformed. The earth fire energy was immense, and Lu Chen felt as if his whole body was on fire, as if he were in hell magma, as if he were being reborn from the ashes.

"Haha! I never expected that my physical strength could be further improved. This is terrifying."

Lu Chen felt as if his body was being reborn, constantly becoming stronger.

He stretched out one hand, and saw that it was burning with scorching flames. As the energy within his body surged, it formed a blazing aura that continuously erupted.

The subterranean fire here is so vast that even with Lu Chen's continuous absorption, he only gets a very small portion of it.

Lu Chen originally wanted to forge a tool for mining Crimson Flame Iron Ore, but now he realized that there was no need for it at all.

The still-unfinished iron pickaxe in Lu Chen's hand felt as light as nothing.

“These things are no longer of any use to me, but this Crimson Flame Iron Ore can fetch a lot of money.”

Although Lu Chen wasn't particularly interested in star stones, he believed that more money was always better.

Lu Chen cultivated in this mine for a full forty-nine days.

Lu Chen's strength has now reached a new level.

Although the energy within him was still only at the ninth level of the Star Realm, Lu Chen's physical strength was already terrifyingly abnormal.

Lu Chen felt that his improvement seemed to have reached a bottleneck, and continuing to absorb the earth fire energy would not be of much use.

Bathed in this fiery magma, Lu Zheng felt completely comfortable, as if he were a living being here, without the slightest discomfort.

Having stayed here for forty-nine days, Lu Chen also found quite a few earth fire toads living here. However, these earth fire toads had no intention of attacking him at all. On the contrary, they looked at Lu Chen with a hint of fear.
