Chapter 276 The Method of Condensing Soul-Level Elemental Seeds
After seeing that the undead giant lizard pseudo-dragon was not attacking Jiang Han and his demons, Jiang Feng withdrew her terrifying aura.
Jiang Han thanked Jiang Feng, who was floating in mid-air, and then returned Long Da and Long Er to the dimensional space. After that, he instructed Mo Fan to collect the scales on the rock python's head. Although the snake patterns on the rock python's head were not as fine as those on the fire snake's head, they were still good materials for refining weapons. It would be a pity if they didn't collect them all.
As Mo Fan turned to collect the snake scales, he noticed that Jiang Feng was carefully holding a crystal-clear fruit in her hands.
"Hey? What are you holding? Is it some food you brought me?" Mo Fan asked with a smile.
Upon hearing Mo Fan's words, Jiang Feng's face immediately fell. Realizing he had misspoke, Mo Fan quickly made his escape. Jiang Feng hadn't actually taken Mo Fan's words to heart. Jiang Han glanced at the crystal-clear fruit in Jiang Feng's hand and then said, "That's the Fire Calamity Fruit, isn't it?"
Jiang Feng hesitated for a moment but nodded, then looked at Jiang Han with a wary gaze.
She is friendly to humans, but that doesn't mean anyone can steal the Fire Calamity Fruit from her. This is the bloodline of the previous Flame Princess, and she will not allow anyone to take it away. If the previous Flame Princess hadn't saved her back then, she might have perished in that fire calamity long ago.
It was because of saving her that the previous Flame Princess lost a lot of her essence, which is why she was unable to give birth to a new Flame Princess when she died. In order to repay her kindness, she transformed into a Flame Witch and protected the Flame Princess who was still in the Fire Calamity Fruit (embryo) all year round. She would rather die than let the Flame Princess's lineage be cut off.
"Don't worry, I won't try to take the Fire Calamity Fruit from you," Jiang Han said with a smile, seeing the wary look in Jiang Feng's eyes.
"The Fire Calamity Fruit in your possession is a very valuable treasure in the eyes of humans. I believe that a large number of humans will soon flock here, and their target is the Fire Calamity Fruit in your possession. Therefore, if you encounter any trouble in the next few days, you can let me know so I can help you as a way of repaying your life-saving grace."
After a long while, Jiang Feng raised her hand and gestured, the meaning being simple: she was willing to believe him, and secondly, that it wasn't safe here, so she would take him and Mo Fan to a safer place later.
"Thank you very much then," Jiang Han said with a smile.
After Mo Fan finished collecting the snake scales from the rock python's head, Jiang Feng led him and Jiang Han deeper into the dense Fire Cloud Forest. The Fire Cloud Forest was extremely vast, and it took Jiang Han and Mo Fan quite a while to cross it.
Approximately reaching the edge of the Fire Cloud Forest, Jiang Han saw a raised rocky area with a relatively gentle slope, resembling a hillside on flat land. At the top of this hillside stood a tree much thicker than any of the Fire Cloud Trees combined.
What's rather peculiar is that this tree has no leaves at all, and its branches are twisted and winding with many branches. Even without any leaves, it looks graceful and lush.
This giant tree stands alone under a starry night sky, its dense branches twisting and turning in all directions. Looking up, it seems as if the entire tree is covered with glittering stars, a beautiful sight that cleanses the soul.
"Wow, the scenery here in Jiang Han is so beautiful! Why don't you take a couple of pictures for me to remember this moment?" Mo Fan couldn't help but suggest.
"Do you have a cell phone?" Jiang Han asked a rather fatal question.
"Uh." Mo Fan remained silent.
When he was swept away by the lava torrent, his phone was in his pocket, and his clothes had long been burned to ashes. As for the phone, it must have been melted. It's just unknown whether Jiang Han's phone was preserved.
As they spoke, the two followed Jiang Feng to the Starry Sky Tree. They watched as Jiang Feng carefully placed the Fire Calamity Fruit on the treetop. The Fire Calamity Fruit, once placed on the treetop, seemed to be surrounded by countless stars, shining brightly.
"Jiang Han, is this the place where the Fire Calamity Fruit was born? But what's the name of this tree?" Mo Fan asked casually.
"Yes, that's the Star Language Sky Tree," Jiang Han nodded and said.

The next morning, as dawn broke, Zhao Yulin, who was at the foot of the mountain, began leading Zhao Manyan and others up the mountain.
Not long after Zhao Yulin went up the mountain, a small team wearing the Weifang Medal arrived at the foot of the mountain. This team was from the Dunhuang Wei District, and the leader was a heroic female officer.
"Let's climb up from the outside. Although this pillar of fire is high, there are too many dangerous spots if we go from the inside of the mountain," said female officer Nan Yu.
The people she brought this time were all top performers from various squadrons in the Dunhuang Garrison, all at the mid-level with maxed-out cultivation. Faced with Nan Yu's orders, the others dared not disobey, mainly because they were no match for her. Before coming here, they had been thoroughly humiliated by Nan Yu in their quest for the captain's position. There was no way around it; that's how it is in the garrison—whoever has the strongest fist is the boss.
"The old hunter mentioned before we came that although the Fire Pillar Mountain looks vertical and steep, the rock is not as hard as you might imagine. You can carve out a ladder to climb out of it."
"There's no time to lose. We must act now and not let other forces get ahead of us."
"But, Commander Nan Yu, what exactly is this Fire Calamity Fruit we're looking for? Why did the higher-ups send us here to find such a thing?" one of the accompanying male officers couldn't help but ask.
Nan Yu glanced at the male officer and then said, "It has many uses. The simplest one is that it can be used as a material for synthesizing Soul-level Fire Seeds, and the success rate of synthesis is 100%."
"The materials for synthesizing a Soul-level Flame! And it's still a 100% success rate!"
The other Dharma Masters who came with Nan Yu were all excited, their eyes shining.
A Soul-level Fire Seed is an elemental treasure that can boost all fire magic by four times. In addition, special Soul Seeds also have a domain effect, which can make mages invincible within the domain. The value of a Soul-level Fire Seed is often higher than the value of the cultivation resources required for a mid-level mage to advance to a high-level mage.
Soul-level fire seeds or other elements nurtured by heaven and earth are extremely rare. Even if you search through many dangerous demon lands, you may not be able to obtain a single one. Moreover, treasures of this level are only sold at famous auctions in major cities such as Shanghai and Beijing, and each sale is separated by a long period of time.
Soul-level elements, nurtured by heaven and earth, are extremely rare. Therefore, humanity began to study the method of synthesis, and eventually, this method of synthesis was successfully developed by humanity. However, the cost of synthesizing soul-level elements is very high.
It requires various rare auxiliary materials, plus several spirit-level elements, to synthesize a soul-level element.
Most importantly, the success rate of this method of condensation and synthesis is extremely low, and the slightest mistake can lead to complete bankruptcy.

Damn, there's one more chapter coming up, it'll probably be a bit late.
