This energy bore extreme heat; even Core Formation cultivators found it difficult to resist, and now the entire southern city district was shrouded in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this was not the worst part. What truly terrified people was that mixed within the fire spiritual energy was no small amount of demonic qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some cultivators or mortals, already scorched and covered in burns by the fire spiritual energy, went mad upon inhaling the demonic qi, attacking those around them indiscriminately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the rising and falling screams, Hua Changxi followed Tong Yao, plunging headfirst into the black spatial rift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they passed through the rift, the two found themselves in a fiery red space resembling a smelting furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This space was not unfamiliar to Hua Changxi; it was her second time entering it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first time she entered, she had seen only the towering Fusang Divine Tree; this time, however, she saw countless mountains, floating islands, and various clusters of palaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the mountain-protecting formation destroyed, the ruins of the ancient Artifact Saint Palace were fully revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clang-thud~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clang-thud~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi had no leisure to admire the old site of the Artifact Saint Palace; her attention was drawn to dozens of figures distributed high in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, these individuals held giant hammers, desperately striking the spatial rifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spatial rifts were scattered throughout the Artifact Saint Palace, rapidly spreading toward the Fusang Divine Tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hovering in mid-air, Hua Changxi could clearly see black demonic qi continuously seeping up from underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, under the hammering of the Artifact Saint Palace disciples, some of the black rifts were gradually shrinking and disappearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the crowd ceaselessly swinging their hammers, Tong Yao said, \"This is the Artifact Saint Palace's secret ultimate technique—the Body Refining Hammer Technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi felt deeply shaken; under the repeated strikes of the Artifact Saint Palace disciples, sparks flew and space trembled, each person's movements carrying a unified rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be able to repair space itself, the Artifact Saint Palace's tempering arts were indeed profound and unfathomable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Yao looked at Hua Changxi and said, \"You are an alchemist; you must have noticed that the speed of repairing the spatial rifts is too slow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi nodded; alchemy and artifact refining did share some commonalities. \"The tempering heat is insufficient.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Yao hummed in agreement. \"That is why we need your help. Only by combining the Great Sun Divine Flame with the Body Refining Hammer Technique can we quickly repair the spatial rifts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Hua Changxi looked at Tong Yao and said with a serious expression, \"The Great Sun Divine Flame possesses terrifying power; I do not know how long I can sustain it. You must work faster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she had fused the Seven-Colored Strange Fires to create the Great Sun Divine Flame, given her current strength, she could not fully control it. Once the Great Sun Divine Flame escaped the suppression of the Fusang Divine Tree, she would be unable to withstand its might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Yao naturally understood this point; not only Hua Changxi, but even the disciples of the Artifact Saint Palace could not remain bathed in the Great Sun Divine Flame for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Hua Changxi took a deep breath, then rode a cloud up into the high sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a branch of the Fusang Divine Tree appeared in her hand, with a wisp of the Great Sun Divine Flame burning at its tip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi glanced at Tong Yao, then flung the Great Sun Divine Flame outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freed from the suppression of the Fusang Divine Tree, the temperature in the space suddenly soared dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying heat forced both Hua Changxi and Tong Yao to retreat repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dozens of Artifact Saint Palace inheritors who had been hammering the spatial rifts paused briefly, looking over here. Upon seeing the Great Sun Divine Flame, expressions of joy appeared on their faces, followed by even more vigorous hammering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Tong Yao also hastily produced a giant hammer, flew toward the spatial rifts, and began striking desperately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hovering high in the sky, the Great Sun Divine Flame radiated its sky-scorching, sea-boiling power in all directions while simultaneously absorbing the fire spiritual energy in the air to continuously strengthen itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi, a Nascent Soul peak cultivator practicing both body and spirit, found her originally fair skin instantly scorched bright red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the spatial rifts slowly disappear under the efforts of the Artifact Saint Palace disciples, she could only endure the pain with great difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, hold on! With the aid of the Great Sun Divine Flame, we will soon finish repairing the space. At the same time, this is the best opportunity for body tempering; do not waste this chance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the clanging of giant hammers, a majestic voice rang out. Upon hearing it, the Artifact Saint Palace disciples became as if injected with chicken blood, erupting with renewed vigor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the temperature in the air rose rapidly, the anxiety on Hua Changxi's face grew increasingly intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been able to store the Great Sun Divine Flame in her dantian for two reasons: first, the suppression of the Fusang Divine Tree branch, and second, the Seven-Colored Strange Fires she had subdued were not powerful, so the resulting Great Sun Divine Flame was not particularly strong either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the Great Sun Divine Flame was clearly growing stronger; afterward, would she still be able to control this wisp of flame?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a jade box flew over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young friend, you probably cannot retrieve this wisp of Great Sun Divine Flame. This is the Artifact Saint Palace's compensation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi frowned, displeasure appearing on her face. She had come to help out of goodwill, yet the Artifact Saint Palace wanted to force a transaction upon her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Yao, in the distance, also looked stunned and hurriedly shouted loudly, \"Grand Elder, you cannot...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words were cut off as the Artifact Saint Palace's Grand Elder spoke again: \"Inside is a drop of Zhu Que essence blood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi froze for a moment, then quickly caught the jade box. Opening it, she saw inside an amber-like, blood-red bead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the bead, a miniature Zhu Que lay sleeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant she saw the bead, the blood in Hua Changxi's body instantly boiled; every cell in her body seemed to clamor, and an impulse to greedily absorb the bead spread throughout her entire being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppressing the longing in her heart, Hua Changxi glanced at the Artifact Saint Palace's Grand Elder, who was still desperately swinging his hammer high in the sky, and quickly put away the jade box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been able to revert to the ancestral Zhu Que bloodline, and the cultivation technique she practiced was the Zhu Que Divine Art; for her, the Zhu Que essence blood was undoubtedly a rare treasure. After absorbing it, her physical body might undergo a transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Great Sun Divine Flame...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many Seven-Colored Strange Fires in Tang Gu; she could simply find another opportunity to go there again and subdue them anew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Hua Changxi accept the jade box, Tong Yao breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the Grand Elder had offered Zhu Que essence blood; otherwise, he would truly have had no face to see Hua Changxi in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he had no intention of reclaiming the Great Sun Divine Flame, Hua Changxi saw no need to remain here and endure the torment of burning: \"Esteemed ones, I shall not disturb you further; I will take my leave now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the disciples of the Artifact Saint Palace continued swinging their hammers without pause, they spared a sliver of attention for Hua Changxi, and upon watching her effortlessly fly out through the spatial rift, they immediately began to discuss the matter among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grand Elder, that was the sole drop of Zhu Que essence blood inherited by the Artifact Saint Palace to this day; how could you simply give it to an outsider?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, even if we intended to exchange it with her for the Great Sun Divine Flame, we could have offered other items instead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Elder stated indifferently, \"This marks the second time Hua Changxi has aided the Artifact Saint Palace in resolving a crisis; we cannot be too stingy, or else who will lend a hand when we face calamity in the future?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was not present at the scene of the confrontation between the Great Sun Divine Flame and the Zhu Que spirit shadow at the center of the Nine Nether Formation Eye back then, he had viewed the general course of events through a memory stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Hua Changxi could summon the Zhu Que spirit shadow and even mobilize the stars of the firmament, bestowing that drop of Zhu Que essence blood upon her was merely aligning with the grand trend of events.\u003C\u002Fp>",1572,"2026-06-12T02:51:23.636Z",1,"Qwen3.5 397B","8ae405656fbd342049723c20938366d07e62d6669cbac1c6c5d2796fbb7a344e","the-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-chapter-316","the-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-chapter-314",558,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-cover.jpg"]
