After instructing Qin Xuan, Jiang Dan and Ge Dan naturally went down to inspect the Spiritual Fire again. Only after confirming there were no issues did they return.
"It should be that the Spiritual Fire had an anomaly, but the specific reason for it is unclear."
After searching for a while and finding no problems, neither Jiang Dan nor Ge Dan said anything more.
"How about this, you demonstrate, and we'll see how well you refined the Medicinal Pill this time,"
Jiang Dan said.
Ever since he discovered that Qin Xuan might be able to win, he had been extremely attentive to this matter, insisting on watching Qin Xuan demonstrate before he could relax.
"Alright, I'll demonstrate now."
Qin Xuan said, and directly began refining the Medicinal Pill.
This time, he naturally failed, but compared to before, he deliberately made himself appear to have made significant progress.
"Good, very good. How about this, you can come here whenever you want these next few days. If you need our guidance, just say the word, and we'll be there on call."
Hearing this, Qin Xuan's heart stirred, and he nodded.
This way, he would have an excuse to stay here and thoroughly research the Spiritual Fire within.
"Seniors, rest assured, in ten days, I will certainly not disappoint either of you."
Qin Xuan said, cupping his hands, and continued to refine Medicinal Pills.
Seeing Qin Xuan so dedicated, they were also very satisfied.
After all, Qin Xuan was their only hope now.
Next, Qin Xuan brought up some of his confusions in Alchemy, making his 'progress' seem more authentic.
After all, it seemed normal to have both progress and doubts.
Because Qin Xuan understood the Dao of Alchemy well enough, his questions were very sharp, each one asking a crucial point.
This made Jiang Dan even more pleasantly surprised.
After talking for another half a day, Jiang Dan finally spoke with a smile.
"To do a good job, one must first sharpen one's tools. You can use the Spiritual Fire here for now. When the competition day arrives, you can use my Zhuque Zi Cauldron for Alchemy. It's a pity the Vermillion Bird Cauldron is no longer here, otherwise, with the Vermillion Bird Cauldron, it would certainly be twice the result with half the effort."
Vermillion Bird Cauldron.
Hearing this name, Qin Xuan's heart stirred.
He had already obtained the Vermillion Bird Cauldron, so it seemed he would have to study it thoroughly when the time came.
"Alright, that's all for today. You should go back and get some good rest. Rest and work combined will yield better results."
He had already explored the underground Spiritual Fire once. Next, it was time to figure out how to deal with the Black Spiritual Fire, so there was no need to go down again.
Moreover, if he insisted on staying here, others might become suspicious.
It's better not to be too proactive or too enthusiastic.
"What the two Seniors say is true, this junior understands."
Qin Xuan knew when to quit while he was ahead, so he immediately took the hint and left.
After politely declining Jiang Dan and Ge Dan's invitation, Qin Xuan found an excuse to return to Lei Yun Peak.
Upon returning, he activated all the Formations he had set up. Only then did Qin Xuan take out the gains from his journey in his Immortal Cave.
"Although I didn't see the Crimson Flame Sky Severing Sword, the things I collected along the way alone are quite a lot."
"It seems that over the years, quite a few people have secretly snuck in to search for the Crimson Flame Sky Severing Sword."
Many people should know about the Crimson Flame Sky Severing Sword's situation inside.
So, people would occasionally try to enter it, hoping to find the Crimson Flame Sky Severing Sword.
And besides the thirty-third Sect Master of the Azure Green Sect who tried to find it, the other Sect Masters were indifferent to it.
It was also normal.
With such a fierce Spiritual Fire guarding it, those who entered would either retreat in the face of difficulty or be prepared to be burned to death inside.
Besides these two options, there were no others.
After all, from the current situation, as it absorbed more and more Spiritual Fire, the power of the Black Spiritual Fire inside had become stronger and stronger, unless the Crimson Flame Sky Severing Sword itself flew out in the future and chose a master.
Otherwise, the difficulty of entering the Spiritual Fire and subduing the Crimson Flame Sky Severing Sword was not ordinarily great.
"Clang!"
He took the Vermillion Bird Cauldron out of the Taihuang Space.
After the Vermillion Bird Cauldron left the ring, it still emitted heat.
Even when Qin Xuan threw the Vermillion Bird Cauldron into the Taihuang Space, its heat had not completely dissipated.
"Truly terrifying!"
Qin Xuan secretly clicked his tongue.
The heat from this thing was simply too immense.
Putting aside everything else, even when he placed it in the Taihuang Space, the heat from this thing had not completely dissipated.
"This Black Spiritual Fire is even stronger than I thought."
For him, this was not a good thing.
Although he had temporarily suppressed the True Dragon Essence Blood with the Kunpeng blood in his body earlier.
It might not work next time.
"Enveloped by such a powerful Spiritual Fire, this Crimson Flame Sky Severing Sword seems even stronger than I thought."
"Forget it, I should first study this Vermillion Bird Cauldron. As the former number one Medicine Cauldron of the Azure Green Sect, this thing must be extraordinary."
The Vermillion Bird Cauldron before him was indeed extraordinary.
Qin Xuan's previous gains were all found within the blue Spiritual Fire there, but only the Vermillion Bird Cauldron was a good item found within the Black Spiritual Fire.
Being able to withstand the scorching heat of the Black Spiritual Fire, this Vermillion Bird Cauldron was indeed not simple.
"Boom!"
Golden-red Spiritual Fire surged from Qin Xuan's palm and went beneath the Medicine Cauldron. After a while, Qin Xuan satisfactorily put away the Vermillion Bird Cauldron.
"Besides the Refining God Cauldron, this Medicine Cauldron is indeed the best Medicine Cauldron I've ever used for Alchemy, but this thing cannot be revealed for now."
Before obtaining the Crimson Flame Sky Severing Sword, this thing could not be casually taken out.
Otherwise, it would be troublesome if it was targeted by someone with ulterior motives.
"However, if I leave the Great Wilderness and go to other places, perhaps I can use it."
Qin Xuan stroked his chin in thought.
With the Medicine Cauldron put away, Qin Xuan took out the chill marrow pearl.
However, he did not directly touch the chill marrow pearl with his hand, but instead enveloped it with Spiritual Fire.
The moment the chill marrow pearl was taken out of the Taihuang Space, the temperature in Qin Xuan's Immortal Cave dropped, and even Qin Xuan couldn't help but shiver.
Looking at the flame in his hand that was becoming weaker and weaker, Qin Xuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Can even the powerful cold Qi of this chill marrow pearl not withstand the scorching heat of the Spiritual Fire?"
Logically speaking, with this thing, the surrounding heat should not affect him at all.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan could only sigh, the Spiritual Fire inside was simply too powerful.
"However, with this chill marrow pearl, many things can be done. For one, I won't have to worry about exploring Secret Realms with flames in the future."
"Next time I enter the earth veins, I'll bring this pearl with me. I don't think there will be any major problems."
Qin Xuan thought, and continued to throw the pearl into the Refining God Cauldron.
"It seems it can only be temporarily placed in the Refining God Cauldron. Other containers simply can't withstand it and would be directly frozen and cracked."
Next, he turned his attention to the last two items.
"The hand bone and this skull..."
