In the Wanling Mountains.

At this moment, outside a mountain range filled with intense heat, a figure was pacing back and forth.

"Master, do you think Ling'er can succeed?"

"If I can't get the medicinal herbs back and can't refine the pills, won't I be unable to subdue the Netherworld Earth Core Flame?"

The speaker was Su Chen, and his expression was not good at the moment.

It's likely that he ingested something unclean while soaking in the Wan Nian Ling lotion; his complexion was very poor, and his skin was dull and dark.

"Don't worry, Xiao Chenzi. Based on your description, that kid seems to be a hopeless romantic. He'll definitely fall for it!"

"As long as little Ling'er brings that thing, I can refine a supernatural pill for you, put away the flames, and re-temper your body, allowing all the impurities in your body to be expelled!"

Old Zhan appeared, offering Su Chen a kind reassurance.

They've been together for ten years and trust each other completely.

"Yes, Master, I understand!" Su Chen nodded, and then, as if he had calmed down, stood quietly to the side.

Looking at Su Chen's appearance, Zhan Lao couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas! If that ancient divine power pill were in your hands, you would have already broken through to the divine power realm. At that time, you wouldn't need any pills to help you put away this flame!"

"Fate is truly playing tricks on us."

Old Zhan remarked with a sigh that he had a vague feeling that an invisible eye was watching them.

Every time they tried to seize an opportunity, the person spying on them would steal it away first.

Otherwise, why is it that every opportunity they encounter is either taken away or becomes problematic?

Just as Su Chen and Zhan Lao were waiting for news of Su Ling'er.

Suddenly, Zhan Lao's expression changed drastically.

His soul instantly returned to Su Chen's mind.

An urgent voice urged, "Xiao Chenzi, hurry! I sense a powerful aura heading our way!"

"What?! Master, is it the Netherworld Earth Core Fire... ... ..." Su Chen looked at the cave emanating a scorching aura, his face full of hesitation.

"Hey! Forget about the flames!"

"That man is probably a half-saint. If they're after us, we're no match for him!"

"Besides, Xiao Chenzi, don't worry too much. The terrain here is a bit peculiar. The Heavenly Spirit Fire won't be discovered so easily."

Hearing Zhan Lao's increasingly anxious voice, Su Chen gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind to run away into the distance.

With the support of Zhan Lao's power, Su Chen's speed was extremely fast, and in a short time, he had traveled tens of thousands of miles away.

Not long after they left, two figures also fell from the sky.

"Master, this is it!"

The person who arrived was Lin Xiao, who had accurately arrived here by following the guidance of the silk thread.

Wan Jianshan didn't look at the distant mountains at this moment, but instead frowned and looked around.

"Strange, why is there still a trace of demigod power here?"

After scanning the area for a week without finding anything, Wan Jianshan turned his attention back to the area.

He looked at the cave in the distance, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"This intense energy is remarkable! Absolutely! There is definitely a celestial fire here!"

Wan Jianshan said with delight, his gaze towards Lin Xiao also filled with surprise.

His apprentice gave him so many surprises.

First, he obtained the divine weapon, the Ferocious Spirit Sword. Then, he encountered a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual object that helped him break through his cultivation level. Now, he has discovered the rare treasure, the Heavenly Spirit Fire.

"Could it be that the disciple I've taken on is a child of great destiny?"

This thought couldn't help but arise in Wan Jianshan's mind.

He lived a long time, experienced several eras, saw many outstanding individuals, and summarized some patterns.

Almost every so often, a person with great fortune will appear.

His apprentice is so lucky; perhaps he's one of those people.

"Disciple, if I remember correctly, this flame should be the Netherworld Earth Core Flame. This flame will be of great use to you. If you subdue it, it can continuously temper your soul and body within your body."

"Now that I am at the half-saint realm, this flame is no longer suitable for me. Fortunately, I have some treasures that can help you subdue this flame."

After Wan Jianshan finished speaking, he took out a jade bottle.

The mouth of the jade bottle was plugged with a stopper, but just by taking it out, Lin Xiao felt a chill.

Even though he was at the Divine Power Realm, he felt the chill was somewhat bone-chilling.

"Master, what is this?" Lin Xiao asked.

"This is Ten-Thousand-Year Frost Liquid, a liquid condensed from ten-thousand-year-old ice, which has a remarkable effect in suppressing these flames!"

"As long as you drip this cold liquid onto these spiritual fires of heaven and earth, they will temporarily lose their high temperature and become temporarily weak, so that your body will be able to withstand the flames."

"As long as you refine them when they are weak, this Heavenly Spirit Fire will belong to you!"

After Wan Jianshan finished speaking, he handed the Ten Thousand Year Frost Liquid in his hand to Lin Xiao.

He took the jade bottle and immediately felt a piercing chill spread throughout his body.

"Alright, let's go in!" Wan Jianshan said.

Then he followed Lin Xiao into the cave.

With the cooling liquid of ten thousand years and the fire-repelling pearl to block the flames, Lin Xiao easily entered the cave and headed down into the ground.

Shortly after Lin Xiao entered the cave, Su Chen and Zhan Lao risked their lives to return.

Feeling the temperature around him drop significantly, Su Chen's eyes immediately turned red and widened.

"Master! What do we do? They've entered the cave!"

"This is the first spiritual fire of heaven and earth that I have found after searching for ten years."

Su Chen said anxiously.

At this moment, Elder Zhan was also full of doubts. He felt that the other party did not enter the place by chance because they knew there was a treasure there.

On the contrary, it seemed as if they already knew there were treasures here and entered the cave with a specific purpose in mind to subdue the spiritual fire of heaven and earth inside.

"Strange! We should be the first to discover the celestial fire here, how did they know!"

"Where exactly did the problem go wrong?"

Old Zhan muttered in confusion.

Su Chen also realized something at this moment.

His face immediately turned cold: "Master, I understand. The news that there is a Heavenly Spirit Fire here is not known only to the two of us. There is another person!"

Zhan Lao's eyes flickered, as if he had also thought of a third person besides himself and his disciple.

"Su Ling'er, why did you betray me!"

Su Chen clenched his fists so tightly that his fingernails dug into his flesh, and drops of blood flowed out and dripped onto the ground.
