"Blue Lotus Earth Fire," ranked nineteenth on the 异火榜 (Strange Fire Ranking), is born deep within the earth. It has undergone countless refinements, integrations, compressions, and carvings through the earth's fire... It takes ten years to become spiritual, a hundred years to take shape, and a thousand years to become a lotus. Once mature, it appears bluish in color, with a blue flame emanating from its heart, possessing the ability to trigger volcanic eruptions.

Lin Yuan dismounted from the two-headed fire spirit snake, instructed it to "wait for me here," and then spread his wings to fly into the blue light.

Upon entering the blue light, the temperature around him strangely dropped significantly. Lin Yuan sensed the surroundings and roughly understood the reason.

"The fire elemental energy is all converging towards the blue lotus. It seems the surrounding fire elemental energy is being absorbed by the blue lotus. With a thousand years of accumulated energy, it's no wonder it can give birth to strange fire."

Lin Yuan's anticipation grew as he flew closer to the blue lotus, carefully observing the blue lotus flower before him. It resembled a piece of blue jade, crystal clear and translucent. The lotus had eight petals, with a small lotus platform growing in the center. Some holes on the lotus platform emitted faint glimmers, formed from the purest fire elemental energy condensed into lotus seeds. Below the blue lotus were slender roots, covered in tiny tendrils, greedily absorbing the violent fire elemental energy from the surrounding magma.

"This blue lotus is indeed extraordinary, capable of absorbing and refining fire elemental energy so efficiently. I should study it further."

Then Lin Yuan looked at the lotus platform. In the center, within a fist-sized hole, a blue flame was burning fiercely. As the flame flickered, it radiated astonishing energy!

Confirming that the Blue Lotus Earth Fire was safe, Lin Yuan let out a sigh of relief.

He took out a crystal-clear jade sword that he had prepared earlier and gently sliced at the part where the lotus connected to the roots. The blue lotus fell off perfectly, as if it were a work of art. With a wave of his hand, the blue lotus flew into his palm, hovering above it, while the blue lotus fire on the platform swayed lightly, showing no signs of the violent nature of strange fire.

"What a treasure! The Blue Lotus Earth Fire is so stable within it, completely devoid of any violent characteristics."

After obtaining the Blue Lotus Earth Fire, Lin Yuan finally relaxed his anxious heart and curiously tested his recent thoughts. He took a recovery pill from his storage ring and placed it in his mouth. Then, he grasped the section of the root that was crazily absorbing energy, while simultaneously emitting his soul perception to probe. The moment he made contact, his internal fighting energy surged towards the point of contact.

"This devouring power is quite interesting. Is the efficiency of absorption related to the degree of energy refinement? So that's how it is."

After about twenty percent of his internal fighting energy was absorbed, Lin Yuan released his grip, bit down on the recovery pill, and slowly restored his fighting energy to its peak, pondering thoughtfully.

"Well, I have a general understanding now. Nature can indeed create such a unique structure. This world is truly magical. I wonder what kind of extraordinary devouring power the Void Devouring Flame possesses. Never mind, it's time to go back."

Shaking his head, Lin Yuan flew out of the blue light and landed on the two-headed fire spirit snake waiting for him. He said, "Let's go, Hongyu. We're heading back."

Upon hearing this, the two-headed fire spirit snake quickly flew back along the route they came.

"Young Master, welcome back!" At the entrance of the passage, Qinglin looked at the calm surface of the magma lake, joyfully shouting, finally putting her worries to rest.

At that moment, the magma churned, and a massive figure emerged from the magma lake.

Standing on the two-headed fire spirit snake, Lin Yuan held the blue lotus and smiled lightly at the delighted Qinglin, saying, "Sorry to worry you, Qing'er. I'm back!"

He leaped down and stood steadily beside Qinglin, taking out two pills and tossing them to the two heads of the two-headed fire spirit snake, saying, "Thank you, Hongyu."

The two-headed fire spirit snake caught the two pills in its mouth and swallowed them, its eyes showing more satisfaction and docility as it swam to the side and coiled up to digest the pills it had just swallowed.

"This is the strange fire you were looking for! It's so beautiful. Congratulations, Young Master," Qinglin said, looking at the floating blue lotus with curiosity.

Lin Yuan patted Qinglin's head and said gently, "Yes, I finally got it. I owe you a lot this time, Qing'er."

Lin Yuan felt a bit emotional; this time, Qinglin had truly made a significant contribution. It wasn't just that she had tamed the two-headed fire spirit snake; finding the Blue Lotus Earth Fire was like searching for a needle in a haystack, and he didn't know how much time and energy it would have taken without her help.

"I'm just happy to help you, Young Master!" Qinglin replied, her eyes crinkling with joy, her radiant smile resembling a blooming blue lotus.

"It's not the time to relax yet. We should leave this place first." After patting Qinglin's head, Lin Yuan prepared to take her away. To be safe, it was better to leave the Tagor Desert immediately.

"Young Master, wait for me!" Qinglin said, waving at the two-headed fire spirit snake not far away. The three-flower mark on the snake's forehead glowed brightly, and then its body rapidly shrank, transforming into a streak of blue light that flew into Qinglin's sleeve.

"Alright, Young Master, I'm ready."

Seeing Qinglin's actions, Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "The Bi Snake's Three-Flower Eyes are indeed marvelous."

Then, Lin Yuan took Qinglin in his arms and flew towards the cave exit.

Before long, a streak of blue light shot out from the calm desert, revealing a hollow in the ground. Following that, a blue figure resembling a girl flew out from the hole. With a wave of her hand, a whirlwind formed, stirring up sand and burying the cave entrance.

Afterward, the figure transformed into a streak of light, shooting towards the Beast Mountain Range.

After the blue figure had left for a while, a seductive figure dressed in a purple brocade robe arrived at the spot. Beneath the brocade robe, her delicate body was voluptuous and exquisite, resembling a ripe peach, exuding a faint allure. Her face was extremely beautiful and refined, yet her brows and eyes revealed a regal demeanor, unmistakably the infamous and beautiful Queen Medusa.

At this moment, Queen Medusa frowned slightly, a hint of confusion appearing on her cold and charming face.

"I clearly sense a special aura here. Could it be below?"

Five days later.

At a remote cave in the Beast Mountain Range, a man and a woman stood facing each other—Lin Yuan and Qinglin.

After flying out of the underground cave, Lin Yuan, to be safe, had flown with Qinglin for three consecutive days, finally finding this secluded spot in the Beast Mountain Range within the borders of the Gamma Empire, using the boundary between the Gamma Empire and the Serpent Empire as a shield to prevent Medusa from detecting the aura of the strange fire.

"Qing'er, although this place is remote, just to be safe, after I enter seclusion, you should release those five and let them patrol the surroundings to protect me," Lin Yuan instructed Qinglin seriously.

"I understand, Young Master. I won't let anyone approach here," Qinglin replied firmly.

"Mm, I trust you, Qing'er." Nodding, Lin Yuan turned and entered the cave.

Then, five beams of light flew out from Qinglin's sleeve, transforming into five large serpent-like magical beasts, including Hongyu. Each exuded a powerful aura, even among fourth-tier magical beasts. They all looked at Qinglin with great docility.

Among them, four were the fourth-tier magical beasts that Lin Yuan had helped Qinglin tame the day before. Lin Yuan's strength in this area was overwhelming, and he easily helped Qinglin capture four serpent-like magical beasts. If it weren't for the consideration that Qinglin's cultivation was still low and that overusing the Bi Snake's Three-Flower Eyes could be risky, Lin Yuan had originally planned to gather an even number for her.

But even so, the five magical beasts brought significant benefits to Qinglin, not only providing her with five fighting spirit bodyguards but also greatly accelerating her cultivation speed.

"You four go on alert around the area. Xiao Hong and I will guard the cave entrance to protect Young Master." Following Qinglin's orders, the five magical beasts scattered to secure the surroundings. Qinglin glanced at the cave before sitting cross-legged to begin her cultivation, remembering Lin Yuan's advice to focus on her training.

Meanwhile, in the cave illuminated by moonlight stones, Lin Yuan was also preparing to refine the strange fire.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Blue Lotus Earth Fire. Let's begin!"
