Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2238 - 2194: Flaming Stone

Wang Yuan walked towards the root of the Fire Tree Spirit, dug around with his hands twice, and found the luminous stone amid the magma debris.

After obtaining it, Wang Yuan immediately held it tightly.

Then, the stone visibly melted in Wang Yuan’s palm, merging into his body.

After absorbing it, Wang Yuan’s aura noticeably improved.

The sensation was particularly magical.

"Could it be that thing is the Flaming Stone?"

Tu Qi witnessed this scene and spoke softly.

"What is a Flaming Stone?"

Having arrived in the Mystic Realm not long ago, Chen Yang was unfamiliar with many things in this world.

So upon hearing Tu Qi speak, he questioned with curiosity.

"This stone is considered a rare treasure, generally found in volcanic lava where Spiritual Energy gathers. Unexpectedly, the roots of those trees are indeed Flaming Stones."

Tu Qi said.

After speaking, Tu Qi suggested that Chen Yang should try using the stone he had previously obtained.

"Alright."

Chen Yang nodded and then took out the stone.

He mimicked Wang Yuan’s earlier actions, holding the stone tightly in his hand, then used his mind to melt and absorb it.

With a flicker of his mind, the stone did indeed melt.

It transformed into waves of warmth, pouring into Chen Yang’s body.

Moreover, the warmth was infused with abundant Spiritual Energy.

The sudden surge made his entire body feel comfortable, and his pores opened up.

"How do you feel? Comfortable and warm with a stream of warmth and Spiritual Energy entering your body?" Tu Qi asked immediately upon seeing Chen Yang absorb it.

After absorbing, Chen Yang opened his eyes and nodded heavily: "Indeed, that’s exactly how it feels."

"So it seems that the essence of these Fire Trees is indeed Flaming Stones," Tu Qi affirmed, having seen the truth.

"This mystical cave truly is full of fortunes. These Flaming Stones are extremely precious outside; if it weren’t for wanting to team up with them, I’d definitely want to find a couple more Fire Tree Spirits to tangle with," Tu Qi said excitedly, but maintained focus on the bigger picture without acting rashly.

"There will be opportunities. For now, it’s better to leave this area first," Chen Yang smiled, then turned his gaze to Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan was seen resting briefly after absorbing the Flaming Stone.

Then, he started heading in a certain direction.

Chen Yang followed along with them.

After about half an hour, Wang Yuan encountered another group.

The people seemed somewhat disheveled, with burn marks on many parts of their clothing.

Evidently, these people also suffered attacks from the Fire Tree Spirits.

They must have paid a hefty price to escape.

As luck would have it, this group turned out to be none other than Old Li and his companions, who had previously had a verbal spat with Tu Qi.

They hailed from a nearby Golden City, close to Chi Yang City.

The City Lord of Golden City was the middle-aged man who had been preventing Old Li and Tu Qi from fighting.

Their team comprised five people.

Surprisingly, even after entering the cave, they still had five members.

They were considered lucky.

Their team entered the cave without any loss of personnel.

"Wang City Lord, what a coincidence! I didn’t expect we’d meet again." The City Lord of Golden City smiled and greeted Wang Yuan with clasped hands upon seeing him.

Wang Yuan clearly hadn’t expected to meet them here; his expression was a bit surprised, but he quickly recovered and smiled in response: "Golden City Lord, it truly is a coincidence. To encounter each other within such a vast area is a matter of fate."

"Haha, Wang City Lord, what have you gained? This cave has opportunities everywhere; it was certainly worth the risk to come here," the Golden City Lord shifted the subject and inquired about Wang Yuan’s gains.

"Not much to gain, honestly. This cave is too mysterious; I haven’t even found a direction."

Wang Yuan concealed his true intention, unwilling to divulge.

"Haha, well, we haven’t found a direction either. Since that’s the case, how about our two teams proceed together? At least we can look out for each other," the Golden City Lord suggested.

"Sure."

Wang Yuan surprisingly agreed.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two groups continued to move forward together.

Trailing behind them, Chen Yang and Tu Qi couldn’t help but curse softly in their hearts; "Old foxes."

These two clearly understood the cave well yet acted out their roles to probe each other.

If not old foxes, what would they be?

But it didn’t matter much; it wasn’t directly related to Chen Yang and Tu Qi. They just needed to follow and leave the area.

This forest was too vast and directionless.

Those unfamiliar with it would find themselves stuck here, wasting a lot of time.

Although Chen Yang and Tu Qi had been in the forest for quite a while.

They knew for sure they were among the leading group; other explorers were probably circling in the distance behind them.

Chen Yang followed Wang Yuan and the others for several hours.

During their journey, they encountered several Fire Tree Spirits.

Without exception, these were taken down by Wang Yuan and the Golden City Lord’s teams combined.

They split the Flaming Stones between the two groups.

Even though the groups maintained a surface harmony, they didn’t have any conflicts outright, the minor gains were not enough to break their truce.

After dividing the Flaming Stones, the group finally exited the forest.

They arrived on a plain.

However, upon reaching the plain, they faced another challenge.

A magma river, tens of meters wide and extending beyond sight, surged in front of them.

Blocking everyone’s path.

"The Magma River."

Wang Yuan’s expression turned heavy as he stared at the river.

As did the Golden City Lord.

For despite their familiarity with the area, they only had a superficial understanding.

They knew about the creatures and specific sites within but not everything in detail.

The river ahead was an unknown factor that they hadn’t anticipated.

They weren’t the only ones.

Even the black-clad figure, who had been the first to enter the cave, was halted by the Magma River.

A mere dozen meters separated them from Wang Yuan’s group.

Upon encountering each other, the atmosphere grew tense.

But neither acted aggressively; instead, they stood silently by the river, contemplating ways to cross it.

Chen Yang observed the situation and decided not to hide anymore.

He immediately suggested to Tu Qi: "Let’s go, let’s leave."

Once they left the forest, there was no reason for them to continue following Wang Yuan.

"Yeah."

Tu Qi nodded, and the two simultaneously emerged from the woods.

Upon hearing movement behind them, everyone turned towards Chen Yang.

As Chen Yang and Tu Qi emerged from their previous position, Wang Yuan and the others’ faces grew darker.

The forest was large enough that it couldn’t be mere coincidence that they emerged from the same spot.

Moreover, one following the other; the method of Chen Yang and Tu Qi’s arrival was quite clear.

Chen Yang and Tu Qi didn’t care about their looks.

After coming out, they approached the riverbank to study the Magma River.

Yet, to Chen Yang’s surprise, he felt an intense murderous intent directed at him.

He instinctively looked at Wang Yuan’s group, suspecting they were the source.

But after careful observation, he realized it wasn’t from them.

"Strange, I don’t hold grudges here. Why would there be such concentrated killing intent?"

Chen Yang felt puzzled.

After scanning the people present, his gaze settled on the black-clad figure.

There weren’t many people here.
