--- Chapter 212 ---

Entering the Burning Flame Valley, Baek Ain and his wives could feel the extreme heat from the surroundings. However, they also felt something was weird about the valley's atmosphere.

"This... Did something happen to the Burning Flame Valley?" Baek Ain asked straightforwardly.

Ancestor Huo Yun sighed and replied, "Well, yes."

"It's quite an embarrassing event. A week ago, someone seduced my Tang Clan's little girl and stole our Heavenly Flame, the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame..."

"Aih, now my Tang Clan's little girl is depressed and locked herself in the bedroom."

"That bastard named Yan Xiao. Just wait until I heal my old wounds...."

"I will chase that bastard to the end of the world and skin him alive!"

[Hmm, Yan Xiao] Alicia was putting puzzle pieces together.

[Host, this Yan Xiao fellow...]

Baek Ain laughed wryly inside, 'Yeah, there is no mistake. It is definitely Xiao Yan.'

'Aih, this guy always left behind a random mess for me. No wonder he had the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame and Wind and Thunder Fury Flame beside the Chilling Bone Flame.'

[He stole one and got another by chance]

[Dayum, as expected of a Protagonist]

[So, will you return the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame to the Burning Flame Valley?] Alicia curiously asked.

'Nah.' Baek Ain returned casually.

Although it sucked for the Burning Flame Valley to lose such a precious Heavenly Flame, Baek Ain got the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame fair and square by killing Xiao Yan.

Why would he return it? Nine Dragon Lightning Flame is on a better hand now.

Still, Baek Ain also decided to help them a little. Having an extra faction under his control doesn't sound bad.

Yeah, a 'small' compensation for their loss.

[Ding! You have discovered Burning Flame Valley's Ancestral Gate! Do you want to Sign In?]

A system notification appeared before Baek Ain's eyes.

Baek Ain furrowed his brows slightly before rejecting it. There is a more valuable place to Sign In inside the Burning Flame Way, and he doesn't want it on a mere entrance gate.

His daily Sign-In is precious, okay.

When Ancestral Huo Yun escorted them deeper into the Burning Flame Valley, Baek Ain saw a glimpse of the ancient furnace. It was a gigantic, bronze-colored furnace similar to the one he used to refine the 10th Tier Pill at the Yao Clan.

Yet that furnace has many holes and cracks all over.

"That furnace..." Baek Ain asked Ancestor Huo Yun.

Ancestor Huo Yun nodded and explained, "Yes, that's Heaven Subduing Bronze Furnace, and we used it to contain the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame."

"Countless experts, including me, have left behind marks on the Ancient Furnace and used our Secret Art so no one could access the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame beside us."

"After all, that Heavenly Flame is akin to my Burning Flame Valley's lifeline because we use it for basically everything from heating a fertile land to crafting powerful artifacts." Ancestor Huo Yun reminisced about the good old days.

"Yet that bastard named Yan Xiao tempered the mark by modifying our Secret Art and destroyed the Ancient Furnace to get our lifeline..." He cursed shortly after.

Baek Ain rubbed his chin and said, "Elder, maybe I can help you with the Ancient Furnace and the Heavenly Flame."

"Are you going to give us your Essence Flame?" Ancestor Huo Yun returned while sizing Baek Ain up.

"Obviously, no..." Baek Ain was speechless. He only used Golden Crow's Flame for healing Ancestor Huo Yun, and this shameless old guy already dreamed of having it.

"Oh..." Ancestor Huo Yun was disappointed. He looks like a child tricked by his parents on Christmas morning.

"..." Baek Ain.

"Pfft, hehehe~!" Yi Xian and others giggled at this.

"You reap what you sow."

Baek Ain facepalmed and continued, "Even though I couldn't give you my Essence Flame, I can give you a burning seed of another Essence Flame that wasn't low in quality. Your Burning Flame Valley can nurture it and recover your loss."

"And this Essence Flame has an earth attribute, which is firmer and better to control than Nine Dragon Lightning Flame."

"Here, take a look." Baek Ain told Gnome to create a weaker copy of itself.

A jade crystal flame burst out of Baek Ain's palm and stunned Ancestor Huo Yun.

"This flame, it is close to becoming Heavenly Flame!" Ancestor Huo Yun's eyes lit up in excitement. "And you actually didn't lie when saying it has earth attributes."

"I can feel the richness of the earth element from it."

"Still, I'm afraid Burning Flame Valley doesn't have treasure to exchange with something this precious..." He hesitated.

Baek Ain smiled, "Don't be too discouraged, Elder. Even though I'm not interested in Burning Flame Valley's treasure, I heard you have a unique Dou Technique called the Skyfire Three Mysterious Changes."

Ancestor Huo Yun's expression changed as he looked at Baek Ain with a weak smile.

"I see... So that was your goal from the very beginning." He stroked his beard.

"Alright, Burning Flame Valley is at its lowest point right now. I can give you Skyfire Three Mysterious Changes in return for this Essence Flame's seed."

"But you also mentioned that you can do something with the Ancient Furnace earlier. I assumed you could help us fix it?"

"That would be correct." Baek Ain chuckled. "I dabbled a little in the Ancient Refining Technique."

"A-Ancient Refining Technique..." Ancestor Huo Yun was shocked again.

"You're going to give me a heart attack at this point."

"Just who are you to have this many secrets?"

"I'm just a lone man who enjoys learning many things." Baek Ain righteously responded.

"Very well... On top of Essense Flame's seed, I also want you to help us fix the Ancient Furnace." Ancestor Huo Yun thoughtfully murmured.

"That doesn't include healing my old wounds..."

"Aih, we barely have enough to pay you back."

He cunningly glanced at Baek Ain's women and cleared his throat, "Hey, what do you think of marrying my Tang Clan's little girl? Just to let you know, Tang Huo'er is the most beautiful young lady in the Burning Flame Valley, and you wouldn't regret having her as your wife."

'Old man, you're selling your own descendant now! Have a little conscience!' Baek Ain's mouth twitched.

Even Baek Ain's women were 'literally' taken aback by Ancestor Huo Yun's tactic.

[Sheesh, this Daoist is dedicated] Alicia commented.

Baek Ain waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about that first. Can you show me the area in the Burning Flame Valley that you think is most important?"

Ancestor Huo Yun blinked his eyes in surprise. But he was secretly happy inside because Baek Ain didn't immediately reject his proposal.

With that in mind, Ancestor Huo Yun laughed and happily escorted them to a secluded part of the Burning Flame Valley. This place is rich in fire elements and close to the Ancient Furnace.

Every time Baek Ain and others took steps here, they could hear a sizzling noise beneath them. Ancestor Huo Yun meticulously explained that the Burning Flame Valley originated from this area.

Yes, Inner Fire Veins!

Or, if Baek Ain has to use his own words, a living lava that has formed an inner network underground. It provides everyone in the Burning Flame Valley with a rich fire attribute, Dou Qi.

In fact, Inner Fire Veins is not any weaker than the resource points the Eight Ancient Clans owned. As long as it absorbed the natural energy in the plane, it could even evolve into a blessed area.

"No wonder the Burning Flame Valley is prosperous." Baek Ain couldn't help but comment.

"Right?" Ancestor Huo Yun proudly patted his chest.

"Unfortunately, Inner Fire Veins' energy is too dangerous for a human's body to absorb directly, so we could only refine it first with Nine Dragon Lightning Flame and Ancient Furnace..."

"So, that's why." Baek Ain nodded in understanding.

At the same time, a system notification also echoed in his head.

[Ding! You have discovered Burning Flame Valley's Inner Fire Veins! Do you want to Sign In?]

Baek Ain chuckled slyly, 'Hehe, don't mind if I do.'
