Chapter 371: Chapter 371 Eternal Flame Valley

After the dust-settling feast, Shi Hao began to thoroughly understand the information about Spiritual Fire.

As Han Liren knew, there was a valley that burned with flames all year round, undying even under rain.

This valley was thus called Eternal Flame Valley.

Shi Hao decided he would go to this place.

Ordinary flames, no matter how fierce they burn, would eventually extinguish, especially if rained upon. Only Spiritual Fire could burn continuously like this.

After preparing for two days, Shi Hao decided to set out.

"Boss, I’ll go with you!" Han Dong loaded himself with big and small packs. With his current physique and strength, carrying an entire manor on his back would be a breeze.

Shi Hao smiled. "If Xiao An is willing to carry you, then you can come."

Han Dong looked toward the Dark Patterned Leopard, which gave him a menacing look, as if to say, dare to climb on and I’ll bite you to death. It frightened him so much that he instantly shrank his neck and broke out in a cold sweat.

Shi Hao laughed heartily and gently patted the Dark Patterned Leopard, which immediately sprang into action, moving at a startling speed.

It was agile by nature.

The big yellow dog was lying lazily by the side, showing no intention of following.

One reason was laziness, and another was its fear of death. Being out and about would inevitably lead to danger.

The Dark Patterned Leopard raced toward Eternal Flame Valley like lightning.

This time Shi Hao did not use the Sky Ship, partly because it was difficult to find a suitable landing spot in the wilderness, and also because he could not stow away the Sky Ship, which was troublesome to guard.

He never even thought about putting the Sky Ship into a Space Artifact—what kind of immense Spatial Spirit Tool would it take to fit such a Sky Ship?

Moreover, his current soul strength was not sufficient to encompass the entire Sky Ship. It could be said that even if there was a Spatial Spirit Tool of such capacity, he could not store the Sky Ship in it.

After the Dark Patterned Leopard traveled for five days, Eternal Flame Valley was in sight.

"Hmm?" Shi Hao suddenly heard a cry for help. He directed the Dark Patterned Leopard to adjust its course toward the source of the cries.

Soon, he saw the person calling for help.

It was a young man in his twenties, holding a sword, who was encircled by a pack of wolves.

These were not ordinary wolves but Silver Armored Wolves, their bodies draped with armor-like silver scales, each standing about ten meters tall, looking immensely powerful.

At the Nurturing Soul Level, the pack leader had even reached the seventh step.

The young man was also at the seventh step, but even handling one wolf was difficult, let alone being attacked by a pack, naturally leading to critical situations filled with danger.

"Xiao An!" Shi Hao gently patted the Dark Patterned Leopard.

The Dark Patterned Leopard understood and stepped forward immediately, emitting an aura characteristic of Other Shore Realm ferocious beasts, causing the seven Silver Armored Wolves to halt their attack simultaneously.

Wolves might not necessarily fear a leopard, but the Dark Patterned Leopard was of the Other Shore Realm. This higher realm was an absolute overkill.

The Silver Armored Wolves slowly backed away, tails tucked, their bodies trembling.

With a woeful whine from the pack leader, the wolves turned tail and fled.

The Dark Patterned Leopard looked proud; to it, such lower-ranking ferocious beasts were merely its usual prey.

"Thank you so much. Otherwise, I would have surely died," said the young man, as he walked toward Shi Hao.

But the Dark Patterned Leopard suddenly turned its head, its fierce might fully exposed, immediately frightening the young man into retreating repeatedly.

Shi Hao laughed heartily. "Don’t be afraid; Xiao An doesn’t eat humans."

The young man immediately sighed in relief.

"—unless it’s hungry," Shi Hao added.

The young man couldn’t help but tense up again, "Is it hungry now?"

"Almost," Shi Hao said with a smile.

Only then did the young man realize Shi Hao was joking. He also chuckled and said, "My name is Zhao Zhang. How should I address you, benefactor?"

"Shi Hao," Shi Hao responded, shaking his head, "Just call me by my name, no need for ’benefactor’."

"Alright, Brother Shi," Zhao Zhang complied smoothly. "By the way, which Beast Taming Sect are you from?"

Having a beast pet means being from a Beast Taming Sect?

Shi Hao didn’t bother to correct him, as it didn’t really matter.

If you think I’m from a Beast Taming Sect, then so be it.

Seeing Shi Hao didn’t respond, Zhao Zhang thought Shi Hao wanted to keep it a secret. Considering he was his savior, Zhao Zhang didn’t mind and continued, "Brother Shi, where are you headed? I need to go to the Eternal Flame Valley to temper this sword."

Shi Hao glanced at the sword Zhao Zhang mentioned, which had been used against the pack of wolves earlier.

No wonder his combat power didn’t seem to improve despite having a weapon. It hadn’t been tempered yet.

"I’m also heading to the Eternal Flame Valley," Shi Hao nodded.

"That’s great, we can travel together," Zhao Zhang said gladly.

He had been terrified by the pack of wolves and truly feared another encounter.

But with Shi Hao by his side, he believed no ferocious beast would dare to attack—afraid of being captured as a beast pet, perhaps?

Shi Hao didn’t mind; after all, the Eternal Flame Valley wasn’t far.

He rode forward on the Dark Patterned Leopard, and Zhao Zhang hurried to keep up, determined to stay close to such a strong companion.

In less than an hour, they arrived at the entrance of the Eternal Flame Valley. Even before entering, they could already feel the intense heat waves emanating from within, unbearably hot.

Shi Hao looked ahead and saw flames roaring through the valley, as if they were set to redden the sky.

Due to this intense heat, there were few plants in the valley, but it was not devoid of life. Rather, there were slender grasses stubbornly surviving.

This was Flame Grass, having some medicinal value, but not very effective unless it was over a hundred years old. Then it became precious, having absorbed enough power of the fire, a treasure for Fire Attribute Martial Artists.

The two continued onward, and after a while, Shi Hao was surprised to find others in the valley.

There were seven young men and women, and shockingly, they even brought along a Pill Furnace!

Shi Hao understood, they were Pill Masters. But why would they be concocting pills here?

Simply put, ordinary flames couldn’t provide the high temperatures needed for alchemy, so they had to come here.

The seven people also noticed Shi Hao and Zhao Zhang and turned their heads over, which was natural because they hadn’t started their alchemy yet, otherwise, they surely wouldn’t be distracted at this moment.

Upon seeing the Dark Patterned Leopard, all seven couldn’t help but freeze, as such a large and formidable ferocious beast was indeed intimidating. But since it was ridden, it should be a tamed beast pet and wouldn’t harm people lightly, which reassured them.

"Pill Masters under the banner of Pill Master Sect are concocting here. All irrelevant persons, step back!" a man in green immediately shouted at Shi Hao and Zhao Zhang.

Upon hearing ’Pill Master Sect’, Zhao Zhang instinctively shrank his head.

Pill Master Sect, ah, so high and mighty, with an extraordinary status!
