110: Southwestern Lizhou: Wildfire Crack.

“No, the Dragon Blood Furnace shouldn’t qualify.”

Qin Yang’s thoughts raced as he looked at the mission prompt.

Logically, the Dragon Blood Furnace was not good enough for forging the xuanyuan sword.

It contained the heart of an Ancient Dragon,

and the “Dragon Blood” within it was presumably the blood of an Ancient Dragon.

These two items might be rare.

But to use them to reforge the xuanyuan sword would be a desecration.

Moreover,

series missions would trigger automatically.

For example, after obtaining divinity, Mission Four immediately triggered and completed.

And Qin Yang had already visited the Dragon Blood Furnace before.

If the Dragon Blood Furnace could reforge the xuanyuan sword, Mission Five would have surely triggered by then.

From this, it was clear that while the Dragon Blood Furnace could forge ordinary equipment, it had absolutely no connection to the xuanyuan sword.

“Then, where can I find such a furnace?”

Qin Yang lowered his head in contemplation.

The Dragon Blood Furnace in Jingming City was already world-renowned.

In Qin Yang’s impression, there was no better place for sword forging.

To search for one himself would truly leave him clueless.

Unless… this furnace wasn’t to be found, but to be created.

A thought suddenly struck Qin Yang.

“That’s right!”

“The mission only stated that a furnace was needed, but not which one.”

“Couldn’t I just create one myself?”

As early as when he observed the Dragon Blood Furnace, Qin Yang had an inspiration.

If the heart of an Ancient Dragon could create a world-famous furnace,

then his own True Dragon blood could surely forge Divine Artifacts?

“I can try finding a larger lava pool.”

Qin Yang thought to himself, immediately Ascending and heading towards the Star Gazing Platform.

Upon arriving at the Star Gazing Platform, Qin Yang directly used “Large Active Volcano” as a keyword to activate “Ask the Earth.”

[Result 1]: Top Ten Active Volcanoes, the last one is ready to erupt at any time.

[Result 2]: “Jiuzhou Federation Secret Realm Archives”: Wildfire Rift.

[Result 3]: “Sakura Secret Realm Archives”: Mount Fugaku Flame Pool.

“Mount Fugaku won’t do, it’s not worthy.”

Qin Yang immediately rejected Result 3 upon seeing the prompt.

Result 1 did list many large volcanoes, and their scale was decent, but it always felt not Xuanhuan enough… Looking through them, only Result 2’s Wildfire Rift seemed more plausible.

The so-called Wildfire Rift was also a volcanic crater, located in Southwest Lizhou.

But unlike ordinary volcanic craters, it was actually a gate to another dimension.

A hundred years ago, a large number of demonic creatures poured out of the Wildfire Rift, almost causing the entire Lizhou to fall.

After ten years of struggle, humanity finally cleared out those demonic creatures, paying an extremely heavy price.

Even now, the Wildfire Rift has not completely closed and remains under monitoring.

“To approach the Wildfire Rift, I’ll probably need to pull some strings; I can have my mother step in.”

Qin Yang thought to himself.

The location and position of the Wildfire Rift were marked by the Star Gazing Platform, but he might not be able to get close.

Secret Realms like this, which are monitored, have military outposts around them.

Without a pass, he wouldn’t be allowed through.

“Finally, I’ll be taking a long trip.”

Qin Yang looked towards the southwest.

Lizhou, in the southwest of Jiuzhou, was an extremely mysterious region.

It was home to a type of extraordinary Professionals, known as Witchcraft Poison Masters.

Evidently,

the abilities of this profession mainly came from Gu insects, which could be considered a type of beast-mastering profession.

However, the power of Gu insects was insidious and vicious, making them impossible to guard against.

According to rumors,

even a Level 10 Witchcraft Poison Master could kill a Level 60 Professional.

Of course, not instantly.

Instead, they would secretly plant Gu poison on them, causing a slow death.

This process could take a year, or even ten years, varying from person to person.

Come to think of it, this was a bit like Qin Yang; both could kill people by just going AFK.

However, Qin Yang didn’t find this particularly terrifying.

With his Supreme Dragon Body, he was immune to all poisons, practically an arch-nemesis to Witchcraft Poison Masters.

Thinking about going to Lizhou, Qin Yang was quite excited.

He had never traveled far in his life.

There was no other way.

This world was not suitable for extensive travel.

Beyond the cities lay the wilderness, dominated by demonic creatures.

Humans could only huddle within city walls to develop, and the movement of people and transport of goods between cities mainly relied on heavily armored trains.

While there were many flying vehicles, flying over the demon-infested wilderness was a very dangerous endeavor.

Any demonic creature capable of flight possessed aerial combat abilities far superior to humans.

The sky in this world, much like the ocean, was not humanity’s domain.

If Qin Yang didn’t have the Imperial Dragon Carriage, he would only be able to choose the armored train, slowly making his way from station to station.

With this thought, Qin Yang’s next destination was decided.

Although the mission to collect void copper had not yet been completed, it did not prevent him from setting off first.

It was said that the girls of Jiuli were good at singing and dancing, and warm and hospitable.

Having grown accustomed to delicacies, Qin Yang also wanted to experience some exotic customs… “You’re going to Lizhou?”

In Jingming City, inside the Chu Residence.

Qin Yang, Qin Chuan, and Qin Feng sat cross-legged facing each other, sipping tea and discussing recent events and future plans.

When he heard that Qin Yang wanted to go to Lizhou, Qin Chuan frowned slightly, glancing at Qin Feng with a hint of shame.

Qin Feng, on the other hand, smiled and said to Qin Yang, “You have to be careful in that place. Your Second Uncle here was harmed by a Witchcraft Poison Master and permanently lost his fertility.”

“My father told me about it,” Qin Yang nodded.

Qin Feng’s inability to have children to this day was due to Gu infestation.

Qin Chuan had always been bothered by this, feeling that he had harmed his younger brother.

And Qin Yang had once thought of using “Imperial Grace” to heal Qin Feng, but because the injury was too old, the skill identified him as being in “full health,” preventing the healing.

At the mention of this past event, Qin Chuan’s mood soured, and he asked Qin Yang, “What are you going there for?”

Qin Yang thought for a moment, but still didn’t reveal the truth.

The stronger the profession, the fewer opportunities for advancement.

Extraordinary professions could advance twice.

Epic professions could advance once.

And Legendary professions had already reached the peak.

In 500 years of the advancement era, no Legendary profession had ever been able to advance further.

His ability to advance was considered breaking the Law.

Too many people knowing about it would definitely not be a good thing.

Moreover, Qin Chuan couldn’t be of much help in collecting Divine Artifacts, so it was better not to let him know.

Thinking this, Qin Yang, embodying an actor, sighed, “It’s nothing special, I just want to visit Lizhou and see if there’s any way to cure Second Uncle.”

“This…”

Upon hearing this, both brothers across from him were moved.

Qin Chuan shook his head and sighed, saying, “They say a man grows up in an instant; my son has truly matured!”

Qin Feng’s eyes even reddened, but he still waved his hand, feigning nonchalance as he choked out, “No need to bother, I have such a good nephew like you, I don’t need an heir…”

At this point, he suddenly paused.

Then his expression turned serious, and he said to Qin Yang, “Lizhou is not a safe place. If you can avoid going, don’t. What if you also get afflicted? Our Qin Family would be without an heir.”

“That’s right!”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan also slapped the tea table and said to Qin Yang, “No! You can’t go! You’re my only son!”

“Huh?”

Qin Yang was stunned and quickly said, “No… I also have very important business in Lizhou.”

“What kind of business would you risk being without an heir for?”

Qin Chuan waved his hand and said, “You can go, but leave me an heir before you do.”

With that, he said to Qin Feng, “Didn’t Chu Mengchen want to discuss marriage? Go call him over; we can talk about it now.”

“That’s right, we can just discuss this matter,” Qin Feng nodded heavily, then got up and left the room.

“No, aren’t you two being a bit too sensitive?”

At this moment, Qin Yang was filled with regret.

Of all the excuses he could have made, why did he have to show off?

Now look, showing off got him into trouble!
