Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 111: Xuankong Mountain! Celestial Fire!

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Xuankong Mountain! Celestial Fire!

"With me here, why would anyone else need to act?" At that moment, a young voice rang out.

A youth clad in a Cloud Brocade Robe emerged from a distant palace, surrounded by elders who all greeted him. Yu Shiqie, however, furrowed her brow.

This person was named Yu Huatian. He was also from the Yu Family, but not from the Great Xia Dynasty’s branch. Instead, he belonged to the Yu Family of Liuyun Country. The origins of this Yu Family were quite mysterious; the branch in the Great Xia Dynasty was just one of many, with others existing in several different nations. This time, the Yu Family from Liuyun Country had somehow learned of the situation here and sent over a young prodigy.

This Yu Huatian possessed astonishing strength and had even managed to craft the Nine-turn Peiyuan Pill. As a result, he had won a spot to enter Xuankong Mountain.

The elders of the Yu Family were very courteous toward him, but Yu Huatian just waved his hand impatiently. "There’s no need to wait," he said. "Let’s head directly to Xuankong Mountain."

His trip to the Great Xia Dynasty was ostensibly to help their branch of the Yu Family, but that was a secondary objective. In truth, he wanted to enter Xuankong Mountain because he knew it contained many wondrous flames. Among them was a type known as the Nine Heavens Spiritual Fire. If he could subdue this Nine Heavens Spiritual Fire, his alchemy skills would improve significantly.

This was his primary reason for coming. At this thought, he felt an urge to head to Xuankong Mountain immediately.

"Wait a little longer," Yu Shiqie said, shaking her head. She did not like this Yu Huatian; he was too arrogant and looked down on them. In contrast, she had much higher hopes for Lin Xuan.

"Young Master Lin has already replied," she added. "He will arrive in about a day."

The other elders also chimed in, "Let’s just wait one more day."

Yu Huatian merely snorted coldly.

「A day later,」

Lin Xuan arrived at Celestial Fire City.

He was filled with emotion. A journey that should have taken half a month was completed in a single day. He had to admit the Celestial Cloud Sparrow was incredibly fast. I wonder when I’ll have a flying mount of my own.

Lin Xuan leaped down from the Celestial Cloud Sparrow, instructing it to wait in a nearby forest. He then entered Celestial Fire City and headed directly for the Yu Family’s estate.

When he arrived, Yu Shiqie greeted him joyfully. "Young Master Lin, you’ve come!"

The other members of the Yu Family also turned to look. Countless gazes—some curious, some skeptical, and some cold—fell upon Lin Xuan.

He simply nodded. "I’m here. Where is the alchemy to be performed?"

Before Yu Shiqie could say a word, a skeptical voice called out from a distance, "So you’re the alchemy genius who crafted the Nine-turn Peiyuan Pill? Is that true or not?"

Hearing the doubting tone, Lin Xuan looked up and saw a young man in a Cloud Brocade Robe. He frowned slightly and turned to Yu Shiqie. "If the Yu Family doesn’t trust me, I’ll leave immediately."

I’m not too worried. After all, I already have the Dragon Blood Pill recipe. If the Yu Family doesn’t want my help, I have no desire to perform alchemy for them anyway. It would save me the trouble.

"Young Master, please calm down," Yu Shiqie said quickly. "We meant no such thing. We trust you completely."

Hmph! Yu Huatian let out a cold snort, lifting his chin and completely disregarding Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan’s brows furrowed tightly. Who is this guy? His attitude is so arrogant.

Beside him, Yu Shiqie whispered an explanation. "Young Master Lin, there’s been a change of plans.

"Originally, you alone were to enter Xuankong Mountain for the alchemy. But now, another person has been added.

"It’s that arrogant man, Yu Huatian. He comes from the Yu Family of Liuyun Country.

"He also successfully crafted a Nine-turn Peiyuan Pill.

"He traveled a great distance to help us, so we couldn’t refuse him. He will be entering Xuankong Mountain with you.

"If he offends you in any way, I apologize in advance. Please, I hope you won’t take it to heart."

So that’s how it is. Lin Xuan now understood. He waved his hand and said, "Rest assured, I won’t stoop to his level."

With that settled, the group set out. They left Celestial Fire City, flying toward a specific region in Fire Province.

Soon, they stopped amidst a vast mountain range.

Upon arriving, Lin Xuan was immediately captivated. He looked up at the sky and saw another mountain floating high above the range below. This mountain was suspended in the void. It’s unbelievable! Is this an Immortal Mountain? Lin Xuan was utterly astonished.

Beside him, Yu Huatian also exclaimed excitedly, "This must be the legendary Xuankong Mountain! A mountain suspended in the air!"

"That’s right," Yu Shiqie nodded. "This is the renowned Xuankong Mountain.

"There are many legends regarding its origin.

"Some say it is a mountain that fell from the Immortal Realm, while others claim it is a residence left behind by some great, ancient power.

"But regardless of the legend, Xuankong Mountain is protected by a powerful Array that only allows those under the age of twenty to enter.

"Anyone older cannot get in; forcing entry will result in being utterly annihilated.

"It doesn’t matter how strong you are—no one can withstand the Array of Xuankong Mountain."

So that’s how it is. Lin Xuan now understood why the Yu Family had been searching for a prodigy under the age of twenty.

He then asked, "Fairy Yu, why is it necessary to perform the alchemy here?"

Yu Shiqie explained, "As you may know, Fire Province has many Spiritual Fires. Xuankong Mountain also possesses powerful Spiritual Fires—more than one, in fact.

"However, the most famous among them is the Nine Heavens Spiritual Fire.

"It’s said that the Nine Heavens Spiritual Fire is a unique type found only within Xuankong Mountain.

"This fire is different from ordinary Spiritual Fires. Other Spiritual Fires are hidden beneath the earth and are considered Earth Vein Fires.

"But since Xuankong Mountain floats in the sky, the Spiritual Fire it produces is classified as a Celestial Fire.

"Celestial Fires are extremely rare and precious, and their power is far more formidable.

"Furthermore, the Elixir our Yu Family intends to refine this time is exceptionally special, which is why it requires a Celestial Fire for the process."

So that’s how it is. Lin Xuan understood.

A Celestial Fire? I’ve really never seen one before.

Next, Yu Shiqie retrieved two boxes from her Storage Ring and handed one to Lin Xuan and the other to Yu Huatian.

"Inside are the Medicinal Materials you need to refine," she said.

"There are two things you must pay attention to.

"First, you only need to extract the Medicinal Power from these materials; do not fuse them together.

"Second, there is only one set of these Medicinal Materials. They are incredibly precious, so if you ruin them, the task will be a failure.

"I hope you will be extremely cautious."

"Rest assured, I will definitely succeed," Yu Huatian said confidently.

Lin Xuan also nodded. If it’s just a matter of extracting the medicinal essence, it’s far easier than performing a complete refinement. He was quite confident as well.

After that, Lin Xuan and Yu Huatian boarded the Yu Family’s flying mount and flew toward Xuankong Mountain.

The moment they arrived before the floating mountain, Yu Huatian couldn’t wait to rush inside. With a flicker of movement, his figure vanished into Xuankong Mountain.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath and stepped in as well.
