Hearing this.

Chen Feng, who originally felt as downcast as a wilted eggplant, brightened up instantly, eyes shining, as he hastily looked at the elder Taoist and asked, "Senior, are you saying that Red Flame Mountain can be used now?"

"Of course it can be used. After all, when Emperor Tianqi created this Red Flame Mountain, it was meant for crafting even more advanced magical treasures. So, even though it’s only about one-tenth restored now, it should be sufficient to repair the Flame Treasure Tower to the level of a low-grade Divine Artifact!"

The elder Taoist nodded, grinning broadly as he spoke.

"That’s great!"

In excitement, Chen Feng clenched his fists, then looked at the elder Taoist and asked, "Then, Senior, what materials are needed to repair the Flame Treasure Tower? Is it difficult to collect them?"

"How should I put it... for you, it’s neither too easy nor overly difficult!"

The elder Taoist stroked his white beard and spoke plainly.

"What do you mean by that?"

Chen Feng asked in confusion.

The elder Taoist gave a faint smile, stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"Let me put it this way, kid, you’re quite lucky. Originally, to upgrade a Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact to a low-grade Divine Artifact, a large amount of precious materials is required."

"After all, upgrading from a Spiritual Artifact to a Divine Artifact is a qualitative change, with power and energy increasing exponentially. Therefore, before upgrading a Spiritual Artifact to a Divine Artifact, the material of the Spiritual Artifact itself must first be upgraded."

"Otherwise, just boosting the power and energy of the Spiritual Artifact to the level of a Divine Artifact, without changing its material, would mean the material of the Spiritual Artifact could not withstand the might of the Divine Artifact."

"Don’t mention attacking enemies; the magical treasure itself might explode from being unable to bear the immense energy, and by then, you’d only hurt yourself!"

"So, to elevate a Spiritual Artifact to a Divine Artifact, the first step is to enhance its material to a Divine Artifact level so that it can bear the might and energy of a Divine Artifact. Of course, this enhancement process requires many precious materials!"

"However, as I mentioned, kid, you are in luck and can entirely skip this process!"

"Huh?"

Chen Feng was taken aback, asking, "Why is that?"

"Don’t forget, the Flame Treasure Tower was originally a Supreme Divine Artifact, and not just any Supreme Divine Artifact; its material quality is naturally beyond question. Although it’s heavily damaged now and its rank has dropped, its material has not changed, so when you repair it, you don’t need to worry about the material. You just need to enhance its power. This way, you save a lot of precious materials and quite a bit of effort!"

The elder Taoist explained.

"I see, that’s really wonderful!"

Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the elder Taoist and asked, "But it still requires a lot of materials to repair the Flame Treasure Tower, doesn’t it?"

"Naturally, I will provide a detailed list later. Now, let’s head to the crater of Red Flame Mountain and throw the Flame Treasure Tower in first. Under the tempering of Qiankun Red Flame, it can revive faster!"

The elder Taoist suggested.

"Okay!"

Chen Feng nodded.

Immediately, the two of them started climbing the mountain.

Red Flame Mountain truly lives up to being a super furnace.

Nothing grows on the mountain.

All are fiery red rocks.

Walking on them feels like walking on a scorching hot iron plate.

Fortunately, Chen Feng and the elder Taoist aren’t ordinary people; otherwise, they might have melted by now.

The closer they got to the top of the mountain.

The higher the temperature rose.

Toward the end.

Chen Feng really felt like he was getting closer to the sun.

It was profoundly hot.

Chen Feng even started sweating, with his shirt on his back soaked.

In contrast, the elder Taoist seemed unaffected.

His unfathomable strength still eluded Chen Feng’s understanding.

Even as a mere Soul Body, he possessed such formidable power.

Chen Feng truly wondered how strong he would be if he regained his flesh and reached his peak state.

Though perhaps not on par with Emperor Tianqi, he surely ranked among the super strong of that ancient era.

After all, he once accompanied Emperor Tianqi and survived from that age, so his strength surely isn’t lacking.

Soon.

Chen Feng and the elder Taoist arrived at the crater on the summit of Red Flame Mountain.

Unlike common volcanoes.

The crater of a usual volcano is a vent for ejecting magma.

The crater of Red Flame Mountain.

Is the entrance for crafting magical treasures.

No matter what grade of magical treasure is being crafted, materials must be thrown in from here for refining.

The temperature here is, of course, terrifyingly high.

Even a Heavenly Rank Early Stage expert might not withstand it.

If Chen Feng weren’t the master of the Tianqi World and protected by its laws.

He would probably have melted into a puddle by now.

"Is this the place?"

Chen Feng pointed to the mountain’s mouth emitting a terrifying temperature and turned to ask the elder Taoist.

"Indeed, take out the Flame Treasure Tower!"

The elder Taoist nodded and said.

"Alright!"

Chen Feng responded, then moved his mind to take the Flame Treasure Tower from his space ring.

Instantly.

A more than half-meter-tall, completely fiery red Linglong Pagoda appeared in Chen Feng’s right hand.

It was the Flame Treasure Tower.

Perhaps sensing the abundant Qiankun Red Flame within Red Flame Mountain.

Upon appearing, the Flame Treasure Tower began to tremble violently.

Seeing this.

Chen Feng was taken aback and turned to the elder Taoist, puzzled, "What’s going on???"

"It seems to sense what it needs. Go ahead and let it soak in the Qiankun Red Flame for a good bath!"

The elder Taoist chuckled.

"Can I just toss it in? Will there be any problem?"

Chen Feng asked worriedly.

After all, the Flame Treasure Tower is currently merely a Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact.

And the Qiankun Red Flame within Red Flame Mountain can refine Supreme Holy Objects or even higher-grade magical treasures.

If the Flame Treasure Tower gets destroyed inside, what then?

By then, there would be no place left to cry.

Perhaps sensing Chen Feng’s worry.

The elder Taoist chuckled, "Kid, don’t worry about tossing it in. The Flame Treasure Tower isn’t as fragile as you imagine; otherwise, it wouldn’t have become the Five Elements Sect’s guardian magical treasure!"
