"Is he drunk?

"

nNorth of Nu Lang (Furious Waves) City, inside a smithy, slept soundly while sprawled out on his stomach. Tang Huan couldn't help but laugh and cry.

nlittle one was an alcoholic. When there was wine, he drank it all, and when he drank it all he got drunk.

n

"Strange, I've already poured out all the wine at home, where can I find wine to drink? You didn't take it with you, did you?

" Tang Huan looked at Shan Shan suspiciously.

n

"Where?

" Maybe it found you before you poured it all out.

"

nShan Shan immediately denied with a little guilt, and then asked while knowing the answer,

"Oh yes, what number did you get this time, and what reward did you get?

"

nTang Huan had originally only asked casually, but upon hearing that, he chuckled:

"First place!

"

n

"Wow, how amazing!

"

nShan Shan exclaimed,

"You actually got first place in the competition!

"

nLooking at her exaggerated expression, Tang Huan was startled, and then looking at little one whose stomach was bulging, he suddenly realized, and unhappily curled his lips:

"Alright, alright, stop pretending, your acting skills are really too tragic. You must have seen the end of this' Artifact Forging Competition 'from the beginning to end.

"

n

"How do you know?

" Being exposed by Tang Huan, Shan Shan could not help but blush slightly.

n

"If you didn't see it, and know that I've obtained first place, you would definitely say it, it's just that, what's so great about being first place in the Weapon Refining Competition, if you have the ability then you can take first place in the Tools Method Sacred Assembly!

"

nTang Huan imitated Shan Shan's expression and coldly snorted. After saying that, a hint of a confident smile appeared on Tang Huan's face,

"The champion of the 'Artifact Forging Competition' is only the first step. In another two years, I might really go to Heavenly Forging City to get the head of the 'Tools Method Sacred Assembly'.

"

n

"Aren't you afraid of breaking your cowhide?

" Shan Shan no longer had to pretend. He could only snort coldly, identical to the expression that Tang Huan had imitated just now.

n

"Then you just wait and see.

"

nTang Huan squinted his eyes and smiled, then changed the topic,

"Shan Shan, do you know of the five great 'Spiritual Fire', can you explain it to me in detail?

"

n

"Of course I know. Why are you asking this?

" Shan Shan was startled, but still said,

"The 'Spiritual Fire' is a flame that is even stronger than the 'True Fire'.

n

"All the artificers of our Honor Continent and Origin Continent, the first 'True Fire' that we fused with, is from the 'True Fire Pool' of the 'Sword-forging Valley.

"

n

"That 'True Fire Pond' has existed for countless years. No matter how the world changes, the flames have never extinguished. It is said that this is because a peerless expert of the ancient era was able to cultivate a huge fire seed, and thus produced a 'True Fire' that will never go out.

"

n

n

n

"But the 'Spiritual Fire' is different. It is a type of flame that is naturally formed.

"

n

"Different 'Spiritual Fire' have different characteristics. When forging a weapon, one can display certain characteristics of the weapon to an extremely terrifying degree. Every single 'Spiritual Fire' in this world has existed for a long time, and in these long years, they have already given birth to a strong spirit.

"

n

"It's precisely because of this that fusing with the 'Spiritual Fire' is so difficult. Since ancient times, there have been countless refiners who have attempted to fuse with the 'Spiritual Fire', but the majority of them have already lost their souls, and only a few have succeeded.

n

n

n

"So that's how it is.

" Tang Huan slowly nodded, and then could not help but ask,

"In that hundred years, did any artificer successfully integrate with the 'Spiritual Fire'?

"

n

"Probably not.

"

nShan Shan thought for a moment before shaking his head, and said,

"The 'Spiritual Fire' is different from the 'True Fire' in the 'True Fire Pond'. Since it has a strong spirit, it would not stay in the same place for thousands of years. Of course, it is also possible that some artificers may discover his whereabouts and keep it a secret.

"

n

"Then how many more 'Spiritual Fire' exist within the continents of this world?

" Tang Huan asked doubtfully.

n

"There have always been only five.

"

nShan Shan laughed and said,

"In ancient times, even though there were a few refiners who successfully fused with the 'Spiritual Fire', after they died, the 'Spiritual Fire' would leave their body and return to the world. Therefore, the total number of 'Spiritual Fire' has never changed.

"

nAfter saying that, Shan Shan laughed out of curiosity:

"Tang Huan, you ignorant fool, why are you suddenly interested in the 'Spiritual Fire'?

"

nTang Huan was silent for a moment, before he finally focused on Shan Shan and said:

"I've obtained the 'Spiritual Fire', this kind of hidden location map '!

"

n

"What?

"

nShan Shan was shocked, but immediately she realised,

"I understand, the champion's special prize is precisely this!

"

nInstantly, Shan Shan's expression became extremely solemn.

"Tang Huan, I advise you not to look for the 'Nirvana Sacred Fire'. Even though it is incomparably precious, it is also incomparably dangerous. For countless years, there have been countless genius artificers who suffered from backlash after fusing with the Spiritual Fire, causing their souls to scatter.

"

n

"If I really die because of the fusion of the 'Nirvana Sacred Fire', then my death would also be worth it.

"

nHearing this, Tang Huan couldn't help but laugh.

nIf she had heard that Shan Shan had a map of the location where the

"Nirvana Sacred Fire

" was hidden, she would have immediately asked him to take a look, or ask him where the map was pointing. Tang Huan might even suspect her motives, but the first thing she did was advise him not to look for the

"Nirvana Sacred Fire

".

n

n

nHowever, Shan Shan's persuasion did not waver Tang Huan's plans in the slightest.

nOf course, the reason he was so sure was because of the existence of the

"Nine Yang Divine Furnace

", allowing him to have more confidence in merging with the

"Nirvana Sacred Fire

".

n

"You …

"

nShan Shan's beautiful face revealed a look of anger, she was clearly infuriated by his reply.

nTang Huan's smile faded as he said slowly:

"The location indicated on the map is Feng Ming Mountain!

"

n

"Feng Ming Mountain?

"

nHearing this, Shan Shan did not care about being angry, and shouted out in surprise.

n

"Your reaction seems to be a little too big.

"

nSeeing that, Tang Huan could not help but laugh.

nShan Shan rolled his eyes fiercely at Tang Huan and snorted,

"Do you know that one of the eight Demon Kings under the Devil Lord Fen Tian's command, 'Fire Wing Phoenix King', might very well be hiding inside Feng Ming Mountain right now? Furthermore, that 'Fire Wing Phoenix King' might very well have a page or two of the 'Divine Tools Catalogue' s remnant scrolls on his body.

"

n

"Fire Wing Phoenix King?

"

nTang Huan secretly took a deep breath, then his eyes lit up,

"Since she has the 'Divine Tools Catalogue' remnant, then 'Feng Ming Mountain' is even more appropriate.

"

n

"However, Fire Wing Phoenix King is the same as the Howling Firmament Wolf King, they are equivalent to the level eight Martial Saint of humanity. With my current strength, the chances of me seizing the 'Divine Tools Catalogue's' remnant scroll from her is practically zero. If I were to accidentally get hit by her, I might even lose my life.

"

n

n

nShan Shan scoffed,

"You don't have to worry about that, the 'Fire Wing Phoenix King' was severely injured in the war against the 'Plain between Two Continents', and the only way to return to Feng Ming Mountain is to go recuperate from your injuries.

"

n

"She's hurt too?

"

nTang Huan was pleasantly surprised.

nLooking at his expression, Shan Shan could tell what he was thinking. He said with a cold smile,

"Why do you think the 'Fire Wing Phoenix King' is able to return to Feng Ming Mountain after being heavily injured? If she was found out so easily, all of us human Rankers would have already killed our way up Feng Ming Mountain and killed her off!

"

n

"Well, how do I find out that you seem to know everything? You even know about the secret news of the Fire Wing Phoenix King at Feng Ming Mountain?

" Tang Huan laughed dryly.

n

"I don't know everything. You are just too ignorant.

" Shan Shan's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, but she covered it up well. She pursed her red lips in disdain,

"As long as you know who the 'Fire Wing Phoenix King' is, you can roughly guess where she is right now.
