Chapter 1571: Chapter 1562: Earth’s Fire Dragon Cauldron

Zeng Guangyuan, Qian Rong’an, and Ye Chenfeng, along with others, arrived in front of the wooden hut.

Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an, these two old men, immediately noticed that the Misty Cloud Array in the forest had been deactivated. They quickly released their Divine Sense, and already they could no longer sense Wu Dongyuan’s aura in the forest, indicating that Wu Dongyuan had likely fled.

Now, Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an didn’t have time to pursue, as they had no idea which direction Wu Dongyuan might have escaped.

Zeng Guangyuan entered the wooden hut and infused the Purple Crystal Column with Spiritual Energy.

Gradually, the purple within the crystal column intensified, and the Misty Cloud Array was once again activated.

Zhao Lengfeng, the Sect Master of the Red Flame Sect, couldn’t hide the fury in his eyes. He never imagined that it was the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, Wu Dongyuan, who poisoned him. Wu Dongyuan held a position only slightly lower than his within the Red Flame Sect, as the Law Enforcement Hall was a crucial component of the sect.

“I never expected Wu Dongyuan to be a traitor of our Red Flame Sect. Why would he do such a thing?” Zhao Lengfeng roared with eyes wide in anger.

Qian Rong’an, after a brief silence, said, “This matter is probably not simple. There must be others supporting Wu Dongyuan behind the scenes. Otherwise, with his power alone, he wouldn’t dare to do such a thing.”

Zeng Guangyuan nodded and said, “In the past, whenever Wu Dongyuan encountered bottlenecks in his cultivation, he would often come to the wooden hut to seek advice from me and Old Qian. It seems he’s always had ill intentions, even sneaking peeks at the methods for activating and deactivating the Misty Cloud Array.”

Normally, Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an stayed in the wooden hut, even taking turns leaving if necessary.

This time, because of the incident with Ye Chenfeng, followed by the situation with Zhao Lengfeng, Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an left the hut for a longer period.

Originally, due to the conflict between Ye Chenfeng and Wu Dongyuan, Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an planned to secretly eliminate Wu Dongyuan within these few days. Who knew Wu Dongyuan was actually a traitor of the Red Flame Sect?

“The activation and deactivation of the Misty Cloud Array can only be achieved through the crystal column in the wooden hut. Even if Wu Dongyuan colludes with others from different sects, passing through the Misty Cloud Array to reach our Red Flame Sect would be extremely difficult. Henceforth, Old Zeng and I will keep watch in the wooden hut,” Qian Rong’an frowned as he spoke to Zhao Lengfeng.

Zeng Guangyuan then looked apologetically at Ye Chenfeng beside him and said, “Master, we were poor hosts this time.”

Ye Chenfeng waved it off indifferently and said, “It’s alright.”

At this moment, a flash of insight struck Qian Rong’an. He turned to Ye Chenfeng and said, “Master, hasn’t your Medicine Cauldron just exploded? In our Red Flame Sect, we have another Medicine Cauldron—unknown in origin, very peculiar. Both Old Zeng and I can’t move it. It seems to have existed since the establishment of the Red Flame Sect.”

“If Master can take that Medicine Cauldron away, then it’s yours as a gift from our Red Flame Sect.”

Upon hearing Qian Rong’an’s words, Ye Chenfeng perked up. His Middle Grade Human Cauldron had just exploded, and now he was in need of a new Medicine Cauldron!

Noticing the change in Ye Chenfeng’s expression, Qian Rong’an addressed Zhao Lengfeng, “Lengfeng, escort my master to the Flame Cavern.”

Given the situation, Qian Rong’an and Zeng Guangyuan naturally had to stay in the wooden hut to monitor and handle any possible developments.

Ye Chenfeng wasn’t concerned about this either.

Sun Xiaoli and Sun Hengfei, along with the others, naturally didn’t follow Zhao Lengfeng and Ye Chenfeng; they all returned to their respective rooms.

Under the guidance of Zhao Lengfeng, the Sect Master of the Red Flame Sect,

Ye Chenfeng bypassed the main hall of the Red Flame Sect and arrived at the back mountain with Zhao Lengfeng.

At the entrance of the back mountain, a stele stood tall, with the word “Forbidden” inscribed in scarlet.

Zhao Lengfeng led Ye Chenfeng into the back mountain, and throughout the journey, he remained respectful to Ye Chenfeng.

The Red Flame Sect was unusual, with steam constantly rising from beneath the ground.

Especially when entering the back mountain, the steam became thicker and the surrounding temperature escalated.

After about twenty minutes of walking,

Zhao Lengfeng led Ye Chenfeng to the front of a cavern.

This cavern was formed by a type of red stone, and these red stones were shrouded in a red flame. The entire cavern in front seemed like a blazing furnace.

Above the entrance of the cavern, the words “Flame Cavern” were written in a vigorous style.

Standing at the cavern’s entrance, Zhao Lengfeng spoke, “Ancestor, this Flame Cavern has existed since the founding of the Red Flame Sect. The mysterious Medicine Cauldron is inside. The temperature within is exceedingly high, so please be cautious.”

Ye Chenfeng nodded and followed Zhao Lengfeng into the Flame Cavern.

Although Zhao Lengfeng had warned him, Ye Chenfeng was still unprepared for the extreme heat inside the cavern.

The moment Ye Chenfeng stepped into the Flame Cavern, his shoes caught fire instantly.

Seeing this, Zhao Lengfeng quickly shrouded Ye Chenfeng with his Spiritual Energy, extinguishing the flames on Ye Chenfeng’s shoes.

The temperature within the Flame Cavern caused Ye Chenfeng to perspire profusely.

Inside Ye Chenfeng, the Water Spirit Pearl reacted faintly; this Water Spirit Pearl was a Middle Grade treasure.

Ye Chenfeng knew that the Water Spirit Pearl should help insulate him from the heat, so he said to Zhao Lengfeng, “Sect Master Zhao, I can protect myself.”

Hearing Ye Chenfeng’s confident words, Zhao Lengfeng, after some hesitation, said, “Ancestor, just call me Lengfeng in the future. Now, get ready as I’ll retract my Spiritual Energy.”

After Ye Chenfeng nodded, Zhao Lengfeng withdrew his Spiritual Energy back into his body.

Simultaneously, Ye Chenfeng communicated with the Water Spirit Pearl within him, and just as Zhao Lengfeng retracted his Spiritual Energy, the Water Spirit Pearl emerged from within Ye Chenfeng.

The entire Water Spirit Pearl hovered above Ye Chenfeng’s head.

Ye Chenfeng was enveloped by the Water Energy from the Water Spirit Pearl, insulating him from the fiery temperature of the Flame Cavern.

Zhao Lengfeng, seeing that Ye Chenfeng was indeed unharmed, was astounded, recognizing the extraordinary essence of the Water Spirit Pearl above Ye Chenfeng’s head.

Insulated by the Water Energy from the Water Spirit Pearl, Ye Chenfeng began to observe the surroundings within the Flame Cavern.

The floor and walls of the Flame Cavern were composed of red stones, all engulfed in red flames, explaining why Ye Chenfeng’s shoes caught fire earlier.

The space within the Flame Cavern was very spacious.

Soon, Ye Chenfeng’s attention was drawn to a position directly above the center of the Flame Cavern.

Suspended high above the center was a large red Medicine Cauldron.

The large red Medicine Cauldron was ablaze with a layer of flames that filled Ye Chenfeng with a sense of dread.

Carved into the surface of the large red Medicine Cauldron were vivid images of fire dragons, and at a specific location at the lower left corner, were the small characters “Fire Dragon Cauldron.”

The name of this Medicine Cauldron was evidently the Fire Dragon Cauldron.

“Not bad, a Middle Grade Earth Cauldron. This Fire Dragon Cauldron is very special. While it’s only a Middle Grade Earth Cauldron, its materials make it comparable to a High Grade Earth Cauldron,” said the voice of the old Bai Wu Fengxian in Ye Chenfeng’s mind.

Medicine Cauldrons can only be refined by Artifact Refiners, yet the process of refining Medicine Cauldrons is extremely complex.

Even the lowest grade, a Lower Grade Human Cauldron, requires a Fourth-Rank Artifact Refiner to make.

A Middle Grade Human Cauldron needs a Fifth-Rank Artifact Refiner; a High Grade Human Cauldron requires a Sixth-Rank Artifact Refiner.

In the Earth Profound Realm, the highest rank for Artifact Refiners is Sixth-Rank, so they can only refine up to High Grade Human Cauldrons.

For the current Ye Chenfeng, this Middle Grade Earth Cauldron is an invaluable asset.

Upon hearing the old Bai Wu Fengxian’s assessment, Ye Chenfeng immediately developed a strong desire for this Fire Dragon Cauldron. For an Alchemist, a Medicine Cauldron is essential, and this Middle Grade Earth Cauldron was more than sufficient for him.
