Chapter 285 - Chapter 286 An Unexpected Joy

      After listening to Ye Xinlan's introduction, Mo Tang nodded slightly.

      He raised his head, gazing at the countless beams of light shooting down from the sky. His palm gently clenched, and a warm sensation immediately spread through it. From these rays of sunlight, he sensed a pure and supremely yang power.

      "It's truly wondrous..."

      Mo Tang smiled slightly.

      "Has your Ye family ever used this Yang Fire to refine pills before?"

      Ye Xinlan nodded and said, "Every time the family wants to refine a seventh-grade pill, we need to use this Yang Fire..."

      "Although my Ye family has never possessed a different kind of fire, the reason we were able to reach the level of the five great families back then, according to my grandfather, was because of the benefit of this Yang Fire."

      It's just a pity that now the Ye family has not only declined in its alchemy skills, but also lost its Yang Fire. It's no exaggeration to say that it has completely lost its foundation...

      No wonder even though the Ye family is in this state, so many people and forces still go to great lengths to seize the Ye family's power. This Yang Fire Ancient Altar is probably a large part of the reason.

      Stepping forward, Mo Tang touched the warm stone tablet and pushed it open a little with a little force.

      As the stone tablet moved, the entire ancient altar seemed to have triggered some kind of mechanism, making a "clicking" sound.

      The stone walls surrounding the altar slowly began to move, forming a circular stone wall that completely enveloped the altar and Mo Tang and the others inside…

      These stone walls were as smooth as mirrors, reflecting more and more beams of light back, finally converging at the Earth's Eye, a dazzling white light that was extremely blinding.

      Although the sunlight converged, not a single flame appeared at the Earth's Eye, so the Yang Fire naturally wouldn't appear either…

      Mo Tang frowned slightly, seemingly recalling the original story that the Earth's Eye was blocked by something because it lacked flames.

      Thinking this, Mo Tang stepped forward, placing his palm on the Earth's Eye, and then a violent suction force emanated from his palm…

      The three, including Little Fairy Doctor, understood Mo Tang's intention from his actions.

      Ye Xinlan felt a surge of anticipation, hoping this powerful young man would surprise her and help the Ye family recreate the Yang Fire.

      With Mo Tang's movements, a wisp of fiery red flame shot out from the earth's eye like lightning…

      The flame appeared, colliding with the beams of light above. A ripple occurred, and with a soft "poof," an extremely warm white flame appeared out of thin air before the four of them.

      Ye Xinlan's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in delight, "It's a success! This is the Yang Fire!"

      Mo Tang stared in astonishment at the flame before him…

      The flame was white, but it was filled with countless tiny, vein-like threads, resembling the blood vessels of the flame, crisscrossing its entire body.

      The moment Mo Tang touched the Yang Flame, a system notification suddenly sounded in his ear…

      "Found Advanced Energy: 50 points, Absorb?"

      "Yes/No. 0899.com"

      "No!"

      Mo Tang rejected the system's absorption prompt, but he was overjoyed.

      "I didn't expect this tiny Yang Flame could provide 50 points of advanced energy. Does that mean that as long as the Yang Flame Altar remains, I'll have a continuous source of energy?"

      After all, this Yang Flame was formed from the fusion of earth fire and sunlight, both of which are inexhaustible. Doesn't that mean he now has a fixed place to farm energy?

      This is quite an unexpected surprise!

      Seeing Mo Tang standing there laughing, Little Fairy Doctor and Bi Wu were both puzzled.

      It's just a flame, what's there to be happy about?

      Putting aside other things, just consider the Destruction Thunder Flame that Mo Tang wields; its power far surpasses that of the Yang Fire!

      Only a family like the Ye family, which doesn't even possess any other flames, would treasure the Yang Fire so much…

      The moment the Yang Fire appeared, Little Fairy Doctor and Bi Wu already realized that although it was extremely strong and yang, its nature was remarkably peaceful, lacking the ferocity of other flames. It might be very suitable for alchemy, but in combat, it was probably inferior to some beast fires.

      …

      …

      Just as the group was observing the Yang Fire, the flame in the earth's eye below disappeared again, causing the Yang Fire to extinguish once more.

      This made Ye Xinlan, who had been happy, feel a pang of anxiety, and she looked at Mo Tang somewhat helplessly.

      Mo Tang, however, wasn't surprised. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, the flame in the earth's eye disappeared because something was blocking it. Let me clear it…"

      With that, Mo Tang's immense soul power spread down through the earth's eye.

      As one of only two ancient phoenixes on this continent, and now possessing the strength of a seven-star Dou Zun, Mo Tang's soul power had almost reached the peak of the mortal realm, comparable to an ordinary peak seventh-grade alchemist.

      However, even so, after Mo Tang's soul power penetrated deep into the earth's eye, he still felt a burning and dizzy sensation...

      Mo Tang's heart tightened, and he immediately wanted to retreat.

      But before he could make a move, an even more violent fiery power within his soul instantly overwhelmed everything, causing the dizziness in Mo Tang's soul to disappear instantly.

      "That's right! My ancient phoenix bloodline is originally a supreme being that controls the power of destruction. With the protection of the Destructive Thunder Flame, what can mere earth fire do to me?"

      Thinking this, Mo Tang no longer had many concerns and began to continue penetrating deeper.

      Finally, within Mo Tang's soul vision, he discovered a patch of red light...

      Upon closer inspection, he found that it was emitted by a viscous, blood-red liquid of unknown origin. This liquid was circular in shape, and its area was just enough to completely seal off the earth's eye.

      "Such astonishing fire attribute energy..."

      Mo Tang thought to himself.

      "I suppose this is the Earth Core Pearl?"

      The Earth Core Pearl, also known as the Earth Core Fire Pearl, is an energy pearl formed from the essence of energy deep within the earth over countless years. This pearl possesses extremely vast energy, and it is said that it is used when refining some eighth-grade or even ninth-grade pills.

      Of course, this wasn't Mo Tang's opinion; it was written in the original work. He didn't care about the specific uses of this thing, since he didn't know how to refine pills anyway.

      However, as an energy pearl formed from aggregated energy, it should provide a lot of energy points, right?

      After expending a lot of effort to get the Earth Core Pearl out, Mo Tang grasped it in his hand.

      "High-level energy detected: 3000 points, absorb?"

      "Yes/No."

      "Yes!"

      In an instant, a red light flashed and disappeared in Mo Tang's palm, not even noticed by the three Little Fairy Doctors behind him.

      However, with the Earth Core Pearl no longer acting as a blockage, the pent-up energy within the Earth's eye erupted instantly…

      Mo Tang reacted swiftly, immediately covering the black stone tablet with it, thus stopping the energy burst.

      When it was all over, only Ye Xinlan remained, staring blankly at everything, unaware of what had just happened.
