Who gave you permission to refine demons like this?

The fake elixir is complete!

This means that you are only one step away from entering the Pure Blood Realm!

However, Lin Sheng suppressed his urge to break through his cultivation level immediately, remembering the contents recorded in the Two Extremes Embryo Elixir Heart Method.

The most important thing to do now is not to break the elixir, but to rest and allow the energy of the fake elixir to stabilize and transform into "absorbable essence".

"For the next seven days, you must use your divine sense to guide the internal changes every day, so that the still dissipating and fluctuating energy can be completely integrated into the fake core."

"The optimal time for absorption is when the fake elixir can gently resonate with the primordial energy!"

Lin Sheng's eyes gleamed; the countdown to his becoming a Pure Blood Realm cultivator had begun.

However, the nurturing of the fake elixir can wait, but his exhaustion cannot wait any longer.

After a quick wash, Lin Sheng went to bed, covered himself with a thick quilt, and put his head on the pillow. He felt the scene before him swaying, and then he lost consciousness.

.......

"Where am I...?"

"Was I not asleep?"

Lin Sheng stood on a barren piece of land, surrounded by black soil that felt soft and yielding underfoot.

The sky was a mixture of orange-red and yellow, and extremely dark.

He felt that his mind was not very clear either. Although he could see things around him clearly, his mind was always muddled whenever he tried to look closely.

Under the dim orange sky, all was silent.

This place, devoid of anything but black soil, left Lin Sheng disoriented, and he dragged himself along slowly.

He didn't know what he was looking for, nor where he was going; he just felt that he should keep going.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lin Sheng saw a small earthen mound. To his surprise, there was actually a person on the mound.

An old man with a hunched back, wearing a hat woven from rattan, sat upright on the earthen slope.

"Old man, do you know where this is?" Lin Sheng called out.

"Where is it?"

"You're all this way and you still don't know where you are?"

The old man chuckled slightly, finding Lin Sheng's question amusing.

"My name is Lin Sheng. I have gotten lost and have come here. I hope the old man can point me in the right direction."

"I will definitely repay your kindness properly later."

"..."

The old man remained silent.

"Old man?" Lin Sheng called out again.

"Quiet, you're disturbing my fishing."

Lin Sheng's eyes widened. Fishing? That's it? Seriously?

Just as Lin Sheng was unsure what to say next, the old man became excited and stood up, gesturing wildly.

Pull hard on the fragile fishing rod in your hand and lift it upwards with all your might, the bones making a creaking sound.

No, it's real fishing!

"Grandpa, let me help you."

Seeing that the old man looked like he was about to fall apart, Lin Sheng said.

"No need, this is my own business, everyone has their own business."

"I refuse to believe I can lose to these fish!"

Lin Sheng thought the old man was quite stubborn and said, "But if you don't use more force, the fish will get away."

"So what if it got away? Even if I don't get to eat this fish today, it's still a waste of the beast's energy. Won't it be easier for others to catch it in the future?"

Lin Sheng shook his head: "Fish aren't stupid. They'll definitely wait until they recover before they bite the hook again."

The old man slammed his foot into the ground, exerted all his strength with his arms, and trembled as he took a step backward.

Then a roar came from the fishing rod, and the rod gradually lifted up.

As the old man moved, the sky began to tremble and the earth began to shake.

"What...is going on..."

Lin Sheng felt his head was getting even more dizzy, and his vision was starting to blur. He could only stand up with difficulty.

The clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, revealing a dazzling, fiery red light.

Lin Sheng steadied himself, squinted and looked up at the sky. A huge figure slowly descended from the sky, revealing a dark corner.

As the thing descended, its roar grew increasingly piercing and amplified, echoing throughout the land.

The old man shouted, "Get up!"

With a powerful upward swing of his fishing rod, accompanied by the trembling of the earth and the whooshing sound of air being cut, Lin Sheng's mouth gaped open.

Even if his vision was blurry, he knew what was happening in front of him.

An old man fished up a real dragon!

It clung tightly to the old man's fishing hook, twisting its body in an attempt to break free, creating a terrifying tremor in the air.

The old man's fishing hook was tightly dangling from the enormous figure. He swung his arms forcefully upwards, and the dragon charged toward the dark horn.

The dragon tried to slow down, but could only watch helplessly as it ran into the black thing.

The black object gradually revealed its full form, making Lin Sheng feel that it looked somewhat familiar.

"The Cavernous Furnace!"

He recognized the thing; what he had initially thought was a black horn was actually just a small part of the Cavern Furnace that had been exposed.

The Cave Mystery Furnace opened its mouth, and flames roared inside. The true dragon was drawn into it with a roar, and a heart-wrenching howl echoed from within the furnace.

As it burned, some black stuff floated out of the furnace, and black snow began to fall from the sky.

It smelled burnt and was still a bit hot.

Lin Sheng caught it with his palm and looked at it carefully. He found that it was exactly the same as the material that made up the ground beneath his feet.

A thought occurred to him: "Could these be traces of being refined?"

But then the Cavernous Furnace began to hum, and the sky and earth began to tremble.

Lin Sheng looked over and found that the furnace body, which had been stable at first, had started to shake at some point, and the shaking became more and more intense.

The massive furnace resounded with a clanging sound in the sky, while the dragon's roar from within continued to rise.

"What a pity, I didn't get to eat it..."

Bang!

The furnace opening was smashed open, and a long, monstrous creature, its flesh charred and bones broken, fled from the Cave Mystic Furnace as if its life depended on it, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The Cave Mystery Furnace did not chase after it, but quietly closed its mouth, slowly rose, and disappeared into the clouds once again.

Lin Sheng felt his vision becoming increasingly blurry, as if he was about to lose consciousness at any moment.

He hurriedly asked, "Old man, what exactly is going on?"

The old man noticed Lin Sheng and his expression suddenly dawned on him.

He stroked his beard and smiled with relief, "Alright, there will be successors."

Before Lin Sheng could understand what the other person meant, everything went black and he lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, his eyes were blurry, and he felt heavy and stiff, as if he had been sleeping for a long time without changing his position.

I looked out the window; the sky was just beginning to brighten.

"It seems I only slept for one night, but what was that dream about?"

"Was that just a dream I had while I was drunk, or is there really something wrong...?"

"True Dragon, Mysterious Furnace, Later Generations..."

Where exactly is that scene, that place?

"When the old man said that there would be successors, did he mean that I was the inheritor of the Cave Mystery Furnace?"

"Has someone else used it before me?"

Lin Sheng was frightened by his own assumption, because he knew what would happen if the news of the Cave Profound Furnace were leaked, and he dared not gamble.

"If someone else has actually used it, or if any demon has escaped from it."

"That would be dangerous."

Lin Sheng dared not think about it in detail, because neither of these situations was something he could bear or solve.

Just then, he sensed something and checked the Cave Mystic Furnace inside his body.

The patterns on the black furnace gleamed as Lin Sheng touched them.

The next moment, a stream of black ash shot out and merged into Lin Sheng's body.

The smell of burning and scorching!

It's something that was produced when I refined that true dragon in my dream!
