Chapter 1006 - 1106: Blood Fire Divine Stone

Following the guidance of the Fire Lotus Sword, Ye Tianfan arrived at a cave after zigzagging through the twists and turns.

Ye Tianfan looked around the cave filled with overflowing lava, and noticed a few floating red stones on the lava!

Moreover, this cave had no other exit, the only way out was the entrance that Ye Tianfan came in through behind him!

Ye Tianfan was momentarily stunned by the scene, unsure of why the Fire Lotus Sword had led him here.

If the Leopard Horse King managed to block him here, he would have to take one or two hits just to get out of the cave!

Although he had enough spiritual power pills to withstand a couple of hits, Ye Tianfan still felt perplexed and couldn't fathom why the Fire Lotus Sword guided him here!

So, Ye Tianfan directly summoned the Fire Lotus Sword to see what it was up to.

After Ye Tianfan summoned it, the Fire Lotus Sword became restless, but without Ye Tianfan's command, it could only tremble in place!

Clearly, Ye Tianfan could feel that the Fire Lotus Sword was longing for the lava lake in front of him!

Could it be that something needed by the Fire Lotus Sword was in the lava? Ye Tianfan examined the lava lake carefully, unsure of what was in there that the Fire Lotus Sword needed, but he dared not rashly plunge the Fire Lotus Sword into the lava lake!

After all, what if there was something corrosive to the Fire Lotus Sword in the lava lake? If it got corroded, he'd truly have nowhere to cry!

Ye Tianfan observed the lava lake closely and suddenly noticed that the floating red stones on the lake seemed peculiar. The stones were crystal clear, emitting a red glow, and gazing at them for a while, one's attention would be completely drawn to their red light!

Strange, what are these stones? They shouldn't be ordinary stones. Ye Tianfan pondered whether he had seen these stones somewhere or if there were descriptions of them in any books or literature!

But after thinking for a long time, Ye Tianfan vaguely recalled some literature describing these stones, but ultimately couldn't remember what they actually were!

Since he didn't know what they were, Ye Tianfan dared not let the Fire Lotus Sword rush down, in case these stones had a detrimental effect on it, Ye Tianfan wouldn't have any remedy, considering he barely knew how to forge weapons.

All of a sudden, Ye Tianfan remembered reading in some literature about these transparent stones emitting a red glow, which was very eye-catching, seemingly called a Divine Stone of some sort.

This stone is a premium material for crafting magical treasures, which can transform a magical treasure entirely into a fire-attribute one unless the material contains a supreme water element. Otherwise, the crafted magical treasure, regardless of its material, will forcibly transform into a fire-attribute one.

With this realization, Ye Tianfan understood that the Fire Lotus Sword was probably yearning for such a stone. After all, the Fire Lotus Sword is an upgradeable magical treasure, enhancing its quality by devouring various materials!

Now that it came across such a premium material, the Fire Lotus Sword would certainly react, considering such material is a delectable meal for it.

With this thought, Ye Tianfan eased his restraint on the Fire Lotus Sword, allowing it to plunge into the lava lake ahead!

Watching the Fire Lotus Sword dive into the lava lake, Ye Tianfan felt some anticipation. He was looking forward to seeing how the Fire Lotus Sword would grow after absorbing this material, for it is a premium material. If used properly, it could forge a supreme magical treasure, and although the Fire Lotus Sword is already a supreme magical treasure, it is among the lower tiers. If it could swallow these stones, its quality would at least elevate to mid-level supreme magical treasures.

However, at this moment, Ye Tianfan noticed the Fire Lotus Sword diving into the lava lake and became vigilant again, as he hadn't forgotten about the Leopard Horse King chasing him!

If he forgot about the Leopard Horse King because of the Fire Lotus Sword, the Leopard Horse King would surely teach Ye Tianfan a lesson.

So, Ye Tianfan went to the cave entrance, concealed his form, poked his head out slightly, and looked outward while also extending his Divine Sense to find any trace of the Leopard Horse King!

After searching for a while, Ye Tianfan did not find any sign of the Leopard Horse King, but he felt an increasing heat behind him. Clearly, this heat was emanating from the lava lake.

The heat was originating from a point in the lava lake, which Ye Tianfan instantly understood was the Fire Lotus Sword. He hadn't anticipated such a big commotion from the Fire Lotus Sword while devouring the premium material, yet he couldn't stop it, making him anxious, as such noise might draw the Leopard Horse King over!

Yet for some reason, although the Fire Lotus Sword was making such a ruckus, the outside was completely still, with no signs of attracting the Leopard Horse King.

Though the Fire Lotus Sword's commotion didn't lure in the Leopard Horse King, Ye Tianfan still didn't dare let his guard down. Given the noise, the Leopard Horse King could be attracted at any moment!

Perhaps the outside was too labyrinthine, causing the Leopard Horse King to take longer to locate them, or maybe the King hadn't sensed the disturbance yet, which could be plausible since the twisted path Ye Tianfan took was rather abstract, delaying the Leopard Horse King's arrival!

At this point, Ye Tianfan thought if he knew how to set up an Array, he would place one at the cave entrance to mask the Fire Lotus Sword's noise, but unfortunately, Ye Tianfan didn't know any Arrays, not even the most basic ones, leaving him on edge waiting for the Leopard Horse King's sudden assault.

But to Ye Tianfan's surprise, the commotion caused by the Fire Lotus Sword was diminishing, and the Leopard Horse King still hadn't appeared—apparently, the Leopard Horse King hadn't noticed, which relieved Ye Tianfan, thinking it's best not to draw its attention, for being discovered by the Leopard Horse King would indeed be troublesome!

Ye Tianfan observed the decreasing noise in the lava pool behind him, assuming that the Fire Lotus Sword had finished absorbing the Blood Fire Divine Stone!

Hmm? Blood Fire Divine Stone? He didn't think of this name earlier, yet now it suddenly came to him, indicating a decline in his memory!
