The elders from Medicine Saint Hall, Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong, called off their attack on Ye Chenfeng after receiving a directive from the Wus. They then apologized to Ye Chenfeng and invited him to travel to the Wus with them. Zhang Yingnian demanded compensation, specifically a Heaven and Earth Flame, from Medicine Saint Hall.

Upon hearing Zhang Yingnian’s words.

Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong’s faces changed dramatically. In a month, they would be taking a group of Medicine Saint Hall disciples to the Wu family.

The Heaven and Earth Flame acquired by the Medicine Saint Hall was meant to be presented to the Wu family. If they failed to produce a fitting gift, they would surely be ridiculed by the Wu family members. Despite Ye Chenfeng’s relationship with the Wu family, they couldn’t offer the Heaven and Earth Flame they obtained.

Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong felt extremely aggrieved. Their disciple Li Wunian died at Ye Chenfeng’s hands, and now they still had to provide satisfactory compensation to Ye Chenfeng. How could they be willing to do this?

But did they have the right to feel aggrieved? Did they have the right to be unwilling?

If Ye Chenfeng didn’t have a high talent in alchemy, under the difficulty brought by Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong, he would become a joke within the Medicine Tower; if Ye Chenfeng wasn’t at the Mid Divine King Realm in strength, he would have died at Li Wunian’s hands during the fatal attack.

Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong exchanged a glance.

Chang Baiwu cupped his hands towards the cultivators below and said, "Everyone, please return now! There’s nothing more to see here."

Then he addressed Ye Chenfeng, "Would you be willing to visit the Medicine Saint Hall for a while? We will definitely give you a satisfactory outcome."

Ye Chenfeng already suspected the change in Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong, possibly due to Wu Lingxiang’s involvement. He could basically confirm that Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong likely wouldn’t dare to act against them.

Therefore, he nodded and directly stepped into the air towards the Medicine Saint Hall.

Following closely behind Ye Chenfeng were Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui.

After they entered the Medicine Saint Hall, Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong also immediately went inside.

The Ghost Venerable and other cultivators outside, though they wished to see what compensation the Medicine Saint Hall would give Ye Chenfeng in the end, dared not intrude into the Medicine Saint Hall.

Under the guidance of Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong.

Ye Chenfeng and others entered an antique-style room inside the Medicine Saint Hall.

Upon entering the room.

Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong bent and bowed to Ye Chenfeng once more, with Yu Mingsong saying, "We are afraid we can’t give you the Heaven and Earth Flame, but we can offer another form of compensation. Would you be willing to accept it?"

Zhang Yingnian immediately retorted, "Chang old man, Yu old man, don’t try to deceive here. For an alchemist, possessing a Heaven and Earth Flame is very important. The two of you are only Eighth Grade alchemists at your age; what’s the use of keeping the Heaven and Earth Flame?"

Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong’s faces turned red, but they dared not act out. Chang Baiwu forced a smile and said, "Little friend, have you heard of the Holy Fire Sect from the Ancient Era Initial Stage?"

"This Holy Fire Sect specialized in cultivating Heaven and Earth Flames. It is said that during the Ancient Era Initial Stage, the Holy Fire Sect devised a method to cultivate the Heaven and Earth Flame. Relying on this method, the Holy Fire Sect cultivated many seeds of the Heaven and Earth Flame."

"These Heaven and Earth Flame seeds were all placed in the Holy Fire Abyss. In the Ancient Era Initial Stage, the Holy Fire Sect was but a flash in the pan, later mysteriously disappearing from the world, leaving no trace behind. The Holy Fire Abyss vanished completely too."

"With so many years passed, if the Holy Fire Abyss indeed exists, then the seeds of the Heaven and Earth Flame placed inside should have mostly transformed into actual Heaven and Earth Flames."

"According to ancient books, the method the Holy Fire Sect used to cultivate the Heaven and Earth Flame was extremely mysterious. Everything within the Holy Fire Abyss was already arranged by the Holy Fire Sect people, so it doesn’t require management, and the Heaven and Earth Flame seeds inside would slowly transform into Heaven and Earth Flames."

After a pause, Chang Baiwu took out a rectangular wooden box from the storage ring, opening it to reveal a partially complete map. He said, "There are four such maps in total. Once you gather all four, you can know the location of the Holy Fire Abyss. Our Medicine Saint Hall has this one, and the other three are currently unknown."

"This map has always been a treasure of our Medicine Saint Hall. We offer this map as compensation to little friend. I wonder if you are willing to accept?"

Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong had indeed devised a good plan. Although ancient books do mention the Holy Fire Sect, who knows if the Holy Fire Abyss truly exists? And whether there are Heaven and Earth Flames within the Holy Fire Abyss?

Additionally, you would need to gather all four maps to find the specific location of the Holy Fire Abyss.

The Medicine Saint Hall had possessed this map for a long time, yet they couldn’t find the other three maps. To them, this map was practically useless; otherwise, they would never offer it to Ye Chenfeng as compensation.

After listening to Chang Baiwu’s words, Ye Chenfeng internally asked: "Old White, Old Black, do you think the Holy Fire Abyss truly exists?"

Old White Wu Fengxian replied: "From what I know, the Holy Fire Abyss should definitely exist. The Holy Fire Sect from the Ancient Era Initial Stage could be said to be experts in cultivating Heaven and Earth Flames. No one knew where the Holy Fire Sect came from or who established it; it seemed to appear overnight."

"When everyone slowly began to learn about the Holy Fire Sect, the sect vanished overnight, disappearing silently just as it had appeared."

"If the Holy Fire Abyss can indeed be found, it could be very beneficial for the Green Flame within your Dantian, possibly leading to a qualitative leap."

After hearing Old White Wu Fengxian’s affirmation, Ye Chenfeng had already formulated his plan. He could tell that getting Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong to give up the Medicine Saint Hall’s Heaven and Earth Flame was unlikely.

He accepted the map from Chang Baiwu’s hand: "In that case, I’ll take this map."

Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui thought Ye Chenfeng’s choice was unwise. The so-called Holy Fire Abyss was too elusive, and finding it would be exceedingly difficult. But seeing Ye Chenfeng make his decision, they felt it inappropriate to say more.

Upon seeing Ye Chenfeng accept the map, Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chang Baiwu said, "Would little friend care to stay at the Medicine Saint Hall for some time? We will definitely entertain you well."

Ye Chenfeng looked at the smiling faces of Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong, but their smiles appeared too fake. It was unlikely that these two old men truly wanted him to stay!

He waved his hand casually: "When it’s time to go to the Wus, notify me at the Zhang family."

After speaking, Ye Chenfeng stepped out of the room.

Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui glanced coldly at Yu Mingsong and Chang Baiwu and then followed him out.

Watching Ye Chenfeng and the others gradually disappear from their view, Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong’s expressions twitched, their dry hands clenching into fists, a shadow crossing their gaze. Even now, they remained unwilling.
