realm at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing naturally knew nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, after a long journey, he had already arrived at his destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Falling Cloud Volcano.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, he also encountered many disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were trapped by mechanisms before resources, some were chased by demon beasts, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All kinds of things, too numerous to mention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also reached out to help, not ignoring them just because their panels were ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they belonged to the same sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Falling Cloud Volcano.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing stood on a giant rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The land ahead was crimson, gullies crisscrossed, and rolling magma erupted from the volcano in the distance, flowing through these gullies like great rivers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the cold wind blew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scorching heat wave came head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heat wave not only had a high temperature that burned the body but also carried fire poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a certain level of body-refining attainment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could not stay here for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fire-Controlling Burning Sun Technique!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing’s mind flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This technique started to run instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw fire-red patterns gradually appearing on the surface of his body, and after connecting with each other, they looked like fire clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a very superior Profound-grade high-tier body-refining technique in Medicine King Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that its focus was on improving fire resistance and controlling fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hope my luck isn’t too bad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing tapped his toes and rushed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The special flames used by alchemists were generally beast fires, essence fires, etc., because they were easier to find and not low in ferocity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were suitable for both alchemy and combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for heaven and earth strange fires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could just think about it; not to mention whether one could encounter them, even if one did, one couldn’t subdue them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the strange fire also possessed intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One would have to leave their life there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing naturally didn’t think about strange fires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For one, the “Fire-Controlling Burning Sun Technique” was okay for collecting beast fires, but for strange fires, it was completely useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For another, this was only the Profound Clarity Realm, a land of second-grade creation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could there be holy objects of the strange fire level?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he wanted to collect beast fire, he had to look for powerful fire-type demon beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, in her chat with him, Kong Linxue had mentioned this aspect specifically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, in a certain place in Falling Cloud Volcano, there existed some kind of powerful demon beast, etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If he didn’t have this information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing would probably be like a headless fly, wasting a lot of effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he could go straight to the destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing arrived at a lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was called a lake, but actually, a large amount of magma had accumulated, about a thousand meters in radius, which could also be said to be quite large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft, pfft, pfft~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the fire lake, there was thick black smoke everywhere, and occasionally fish-like demon beasts shuttled through it, revealing faint figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature here could be said to be very, very high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was just by the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one went deep, one could imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without practicing some techniques to improve fire resistance, one would be burned to ashes upon entering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, with my current physical defense, even without practicing the ‘Fire-Controlling Burning Sun Technique,’ I am already fearless of being burned by the fire.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing’s eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Stone Man bloodline didn’t just improve simple physical defense, but all-around defense, otherwise it wouldn’t be listed as a top-tier body-refining bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the “Fire-Controlling Burning Sun Technique” still had to be practiced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he needed to rely on it to collect the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And fuse it into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three-Headed Fire-Scaled Python.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the target Meng Zhangqing chose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also the strongest fire-type demon beast in this region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long time, not many disciples had been able to kill it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were two reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was that the demon beast itself was powerful enough, being at the second-level peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two was that this was a fire lake, the demon beast’s home field, and the fire power was incredibly abundant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon beast’s strength would also receive a significant bonus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention crossing to the third level, but it was not far off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So over time, not many people came here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cold Moon true qi in his body surged, wrapping around his whole body, or more accurately, his clothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his physical body wouldn’t be burned by the fire, these clothes couldn’t block it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to walk naked on this fire lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Restraining his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing began to walk forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Step by step, he stepped on the thick magma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seemingly incredibly scorching temperature couldn’t bring him the slightest influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a red shadow darted out from the side, its eyes blood-red, and its mouth full of spikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It bit directly at Meng Zhangqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Meng Zhangqing didn’t even look at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked forward with his hands behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The true qi outside his body turned into an ice sword, slashing it into two halves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second-level mid-stage demon beast died directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish, swish, swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The death of the demon beast couldn’t stir up fear in other demon beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, it increased their ferocity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the strength gap was huge, driven by instinct, they came one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that in the face of absolute strength, quantity had no meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you still not coming out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Meng Zhangqing walked to the center of the fire lake, the ground was already full of corpses; actually, he was quite tempted by some of the talents on these demon beasts, it was just a pity they had no intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the words fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire lake suddenly became restless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge demon beast broke through the lake surface and rushed out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It stood opposite Meng Zhangqing from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon beast was a full fifty meters long, its body covered in fire-red scales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked indestructible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had three heads, each head looking like an independent existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In its blood-red eyes, thick killing intent surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three-Headed Fire-Scaled Python!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strongest demon beast in this area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless a disciple of the level of the Shi brothers came, no one in the same realm would be its opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While roaring, fire winds whistled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pressing Meng Zhangqing’s head of black hair to flutter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression remained calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even activated his detection eyes to watch the panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basic Information:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Name: Three-Headed Fire-Scaled Python]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Race: Demon Beast]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level: Second-level Peak]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attribute Information:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Demon Beast Talent: Earth Fire]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Demon Beast Talent: Flame Dragon Roar]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just average.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing made an evaluation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was normal; it wasn’t some bloodline demon beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was impossible for it to have any powerful talents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Three-Headed Fire-Scaled Python didn’t wait at all and rushed directly toward Meng Zhangqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its body was huge, like a mountain, full of pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed nothing could block its attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing pulled out his sword with his right hand and slashed casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword light was like snow, coldness fell, and it swept across the body of the Three-Headed Fire-Scaled Python.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang, bang, bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body split instantly, rolling all over the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And one of the heads stopped at Meng Zhangqing’s feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its eyes were still full of killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>",1253,"2026-06-16T01:57:58.319Z","2026-06-16T01:58:13.594Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
