Chapter 1062: Chapter 1062: Ziyi Girl

Fang Bai deduced that the piece of Fire Essence Iron at the bottom of Fire Lake must have existed for a long time and that Martial Artists must have known about the possibility of treasures in Fire Lake. However, because the Fire Essence Iron itself was too hot, no Martial Artist dared to touch it. They could only sigh longingly, which is why the Fire Essence Iron was preserved till now.

Fire Essence Iron is the main material for refining Fire Spirit Weapons. The higher the quality of Fire Essence Iron, the more powerful the Spiritual Artifacts that are refined from it. Fang Bai had originally thought that in these Three Thousand Minor Worlds, the best refining material was only of medium quality. He didn’t expect to find a sizable piece of high-quality Fire Essence Iron here. It was quite unexpected and a pleasant surprise.

High-quality Fire Essence Iron, combined with other auxiliary materials, can forge high-quality Spiritual Artifacts. Martial Artists using high-quality Spiritual Artifacts would see their combat power greatly enhanced.

However, for Fang Bai, his Spatial Ring contained the Five Elements Needles, Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, Origin Qi Cauldron, and Houyi Bow. Each Spiritual Artifact was extremely powerful. Up to now, Fang Bai hadn’t been able to effectively harness these artifacts or unleash their full power, which showed how high their grades were.

Therefore, upon discovering the high-quality Fire Essence Iron at the bottom of the lake, Fang Bai only felt a minor surprise and was far from overwhelmingly excited.

Fang Bai planned to take this piece of Fire Essence Iron and, when he found the time, forge several Fire Spirit Weapons to give to his friends and close ones in the future.

When Fang Bai first arrived in the True Martial Realm through the Teleportation Array, an anomaly occurred en route, causing him to be separated from his friends and family. He didn’t know where they were, but he always believed that one day he would be reunited with them.

Fang Bai withdrew his Divine Sense and circulated his Fire-based Technique, Nine Revolutions True Fire Art. His body’s Fire Primordial Qi flowed rapidly, forming a ruddy Qi Shield around him before he dived into Fire Lake.

Despite the high-quality Fire Essence Iron containing temperatures that even a Vast Level Martial Artist would find terrifying, it posed no threat to Fang Bai, who possessed a Chaos True Body.

After entering the lake, Fang Bai faced the high temperatures capable of melting solid rock and dived straight to the bottom, hovering above the Fire Essence Iron.

The Fire Essence Iron, about the size of a grinding stone, resembled a fireball. It emitted a red light and scorching temperatures, dazzling and radiant. Rich and scorching Fire Primordial Qi diffused into the surroundings, causing the entire lake’s water to "gurgle" and boil.

Fang Bai glanced down at the Fire Essence Iron a few times. With a swift motion, he stretched out his right palm, his fingers spread wide. With a sudden grasp, the grinding-stone-sized piece of Fire Essence Iron, weighing thousands of pounds, was slowly lifted from the lake’s muddy bottom up to his face, under the strong suction force emanating from his palm.

Fang Bai stretched out his hand, touched the Fire Essence Iron, felt the scorching Fire Primordial Qi flowing from his palm into his body, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. He casually stored the Fire Essence Iron into his Spatial Ring.

Without the Fire Essence Iron "stirring havoc," the boiling lake water immediately returned to tranquility. The water color also turned into a clear, verdant green, looking no different from the vast lakes elsewhere.

"Hmm? Who is this woman? She’s quite young, yet her strength is impressive!"

As Fang Bai surfaced to the lake, he sensed an aura of a Desolate Level Perfection Martial Artist. Extending his Divine Sense towards the source of this Martial Artist Aura, he saw a young girl in her twenties wearing purple clothing speeding towards him.

This purple-dressed young lady had snow-white skin and large eyes, with a slender waist and long legs. She was quite beautiful. In her left hand, she wielded a three-foot-long Willow Leaf Saber. The outer sheath was made of dark-red Fire Python skin, with strands and wisps of Fire Primordial Qi spilling out from the sheath, indicating that the Willow Leaf Saber was indeed a Fire Spirit Weapon used for attacks.

The young girl had several red clouds embroidered on the chest of her garments, clearly indicating her affiliation to a Sect, and her status was not low.

The purple-clad young girl wasn’t very old, yet she possessed an Innate Fire Spirit Root, and her Cultivation Level had reached Desolate Level Perfection. From this, it was clear that she must have been at least a disciple of a third-grade Sect.

However, the only third-grade Sect in Thousand Lakes Country was the Purple Flame Sect, and moreover, the attire of the disciples of the Purple Flame Sect was not like this, so she is likely a disciple from some Sect who came here for training.

At this moment, the purple-clad young girl was employing her movement technique, flying towards Fire Lake, excitement painted across her delicate face as she muttered to herself, "Such rich Fire Primordial Qi, there must be a treasure over there... definitely treasure... Huh? Why did it suddenly disappear?"

During her flight towards Fire Lake, Fang Bai—who was at the bottom of the lake—had stored the Fire Essence Iron in the Spatial Ring and then moved towards the lake’s surface, and Ziyi, who could no longer sense the Fire Primordial Qi, had her expression slightly change and sped towards the lake, wanting to see what exactly was happening.

"Whoosh—"

Fang Bai bolted upwards from the bottom of the lake, breaking through the water, then lightly stepping through the air to land gracefully on the lake shore.

From entering the water to emerging from it, Fire Primordial Qi always enveloped Fang Bai’s body, thus not even a bit of his clothes were wet.

Fang Bai planted his feet firmly on the ground and looked towards the woods on the eastern side of the lake, catching a glimpse of that purple-clad young girl’s graceful figure turning into a streak of purple light rapidly heading towards him, then stopping by the lake.

"Hey, who are you?"

The purple-clad young girl stood by the lake observing for a while, unable to sense the unusually dense Fire Primordial Qi from before; she felt both weird and dejected. Her beautiful eyes shifted and spotted Fang Bai, who was standing on the northern shore and smiling at her. With her brows slightly furrowed, she swiftly walked over to Fang Bai and after scrutinizing him briefly, she asked.

The purple-clad young girl walked briskly and spoke in a tone devoid of any politeness, clearly indicating she wasn’t a gentle and quiet lady.

Fang Bai smiled while watching her. Seeing her eyes—clearly defined in black and white, and extremely pure—he thought that this young girl must certainly be a novice disciple from some Sect, inexperienced in worldly affairs and human relationships, not having undergone much hardship or deceit, and a naive girl who speaks bluntly without much consideration, often offending others without knowing.

Had it been another Martial Artist, facing this purple-clad young girl’s impolite inquiry, they might have felt disgusted and ignored her, or even angrily scolded her for disrespecting her elders. However, Fang Bai was always tolerant and simply couldn’t bring himself to dislike this bright-eyed, pearly-toothed girl, pointing to his own nose, he laughingly asked, "Little girl, are you talking to me?"

The purple-clad young girl pouted and said, "Aside from me, there’s only you here, who else could I be talking to? Hey, I’m asking you..."

Fang Bai chuckled and said, "Little girl, my name isn’t ’Hey’."

The purple-clad young girl blinked with her big eyes, looking adorably confused for a moment before bursting into laughter and asking after she finally got it, "Then what is your name?"

Fang Bai replied, "My surname is Bai, and I have a single name: Fang."

"Oh, Bai Fang, right? Okay, I wanted to ask you, did you sense a very strong Fire Primordial Qi just now? I guess it must have been some kind of Fire Attribute Treasure emitting it... Ah, have you already taken that treasure?"

The purple-clad young girl pointed at Fang Bai as she asked.
