Chapter 1632 - 832: Fierce Spirit Grass

Due to the Flame Dragon’s immense size, its dwelling cave is naturally enormous as well. Yun Che heightened his alertness and proceeded cautiously forward. The internal temperature was far higher than the outside. With every step Yun Che took, a drop of sweat would trickle down, evaporating into a thin white mist that met the ground with a * Sss Sss * sound.

The true depth of this cave was unknown, and as Yun Che ventured deeper, the light gradually dimmed. After advancing a hundred steps, a red glowing mist suddenly appeared from the area ahead.

Yin Che paused momentarily, then hurried towards it, accelerating his pace once more. As he saw the source of the red glow, his eyes suddenly glinted with a fervent light.

"Fierce Spirit Grass!!"

The matured Fire Spirit Grass stood about seven inches tall, with shallow roots, usually having nine leaves that glowed in the dark. It was exceedingly rare, only growing in areas concentrated with Fire Elements. Simultaneously, the growth rate of Fire Spirit Grass was extremely slow, often taking over a decade to reach maturity, making mature Fire Spirit Grass highly valuable. It could be refined into Fire Spirit Pills, which, once consumed, could resist a sizable amount of Fire Elements temporarily. It could also temporarily convert the powerful energy contained in the Abyss Vein into a fire attribute without causing any harmful side effects like burning or damage to oneself.

In reality, this extremely rare and valuable Fire Spirit Grass growing here amounted to an incredible two to three hundred plants. Additionally, nearly a quarter of them had reached maturity. Behind there was a large patch left with only roots. Clearly, these Fire Spirit Grasses were the food for the Flame Dragon.

Another reason Fire Spirit Grass was valuable was due to its difficulty in collecting and storing. Even the slightest carelessness could lead to the disappearance of the Fire God within the grass. However, this problem was a non-issue for Yin Che. He extended his left hand, fervently grabbing the matured Fire Spirit Grass, easily collecting them into the Heavenly Poison Pearl.

Even random varieties of Fiery Fire Grass could be sold at high prices outside. But at this time, Yun Che was harvesting them in great quantities, as if they were ordinary cabbage.

Soon, over fifty mature Fire Spirit Grass were all gathered into the Heavenly Poison Pearl. Yun Che hadn’t even touched an immature one. A cry resounded from deep within him as he rubbed his palms: I’m rich!

How much profit could be made if these were sold through intermediaries to the Burning Heaven Clan!

He would never need to worry about not having enough money to spend!

Yun Che took out the collected Fire Spirit Grass and quickly refined it using the Heavenly Poison Pearl. Under its processing, the Fire Spirit Grass rapidly shrank, ultimately becoming a small ruby-like object. Yun Che tossed it into his mouth without a second thought.

A scorching sensation slid along his mouth down to his insides. Soon after, a warm feeling quickly spread from within him, permeating his entire body in the blink of an eye. Thereafter, the heat gradually dissipated. Instantly, even the surrounding space ceased to be scorching. Sweat no longer flowed from Yun Che’s body, and the dry, suffocating heat vanished entirely.

Afterwards, Yun Che’s body felt greatly relieved. However, as he had not yet reached the cave’s end, he quickened his pace, advancing into the deeper interior. Soon, a massive rocky nest appeared before his eyes. Considering its size and shape, it was evident this was the place where the Flame Dragon usually stayed and slept.

To Yun Che’s disappointment, the Fiery Fire Dragon’s nest was quite clean. Aside from the scorching rocks forming the cave, there was nothing of significance.

Rumble...

A sudden loud rumble came from outside. Even standing in the deepest part of the cave, Yun Che faintly felt a wave of heat hitting his face. The Fierce Dragon’s heavy voice floated in from outside:

"Ignorant, greedy human, prepare to receive the punishment you deserve!"

Afterwards, panic-filled voices from the Burning Heaven Clan emerged:

!What’s happening! How did its power suddenly..."..."

"His... This Flame Dragon isn’t a beast from heaven at all! Obviously, it’s an Emperor of beasts! It had been hiding its true power all along. Just to lure us into this place!

He’s deceiving us! The intel was wrong, retreat! Quick retreat!!’

Jasmine’s words had completely come true. Indeed, the Flame Dragon had been hiding its real power, and at this moment, it finally unleashed it. Amidst the panic of the Burning Heaven Clan, the ground began to tremble. Even the entire Crimson Mountain Range subtly quaked. Yun Che’s heart suddenly chilled. Since the Flame Dragon had begun to reveal its true strength, this also meant the battle might end at any moment. If he didn’t leave now, there might not be another chance to escape later!

Fifty mature Fire Spirit Grasses already constituted a substantial profit. Yun Che hesitated no more and promptly took action. However, after merely three steps, his heart abruptly skipped, and his footsteps halted.

What are you doing? If you don’t leave now, are you waiting for the Flame Dragon to roast you into ashes!’ Jasmine coldly shouted.

Yet, Yun Che showed no response whatsoever to Jasmine’s words. He turned around with his hands on his chest, staring blankly at the empty rocky cave. Its feeling was as it had been before, and this time indeed very close...
