Chapter 1625: Chapter 1625: Heavenly Flames Tempering the Body_1 Chapter 1625: Chapter 1625: Heavenly Flames Tempering the Body_1 Clearly, the burly man was not surprised by such a scene.

Just as Randall Freeman was about to speak, Ethan Smith stepped in and said, “Excuse me, I'd like to ask you something, is that all right?”

“No.” The burly man refused Ethan without thinking.

Ethan spoke with some embarrassment, “It won't take much of your time, and I'm willing to pay.”

Upon hearing the mention of payment, the burly man finally stopped what he was doing.

He glanced at Ethan, then at Randall Freeman, and said, “If you're looking for information about a person, don't bother asking. I don't know anyone.”

Ethan laughed, “Of course not, I just want to ask what period the Red Purple Volcano is in now?”

The burly man glanced at the not-too-distant Volcano and then pointed to the flames in front of him, saying, “It is currently the Outbreak Period, when we use it to melt metals for forging.”

Upon hearing this, Randall Freeman sighed.

He put his hand on Ethan's shoulder and said, “Kid, looks like you're out of luck.”

Ethan couldn't help but frown slightly.

He looked at the vessels in the Artifact Refining Workshop, which were filled with liquid metal.

Even divine artifacts were being melted, let alone Ethan's flesh and blood body?

“How long will this Outbreak Period last?” Ethan asked.

“Anywhere from a hundred days to several hundred days.” The burly man said solemnly.

“That long?” Ethan frowned.

He couldn't afford to wait that long.

“Let's just find another way.” Randall Freeman hooked Ethan's shoulder and turned to leave.

Ethan frowned and said, “Master, I still want to give it a try.”

“Give it a try my ass!” Randall Freeman cursed.

“Red-purple heavenly flames during the Outbreak Period can melt even divine weapons, let alone your fleshly body! You would likely be reduced to slag in an instant.”

Despite this, Ethan was still somewhat unwilling to give up.

If he could use these flames to temper his body, the effects would undoubtedly be beyond imagination!

“Wait a minute.”

At this moment, the burly man behind them suddenly called out to Ethan and Randall.

Only then did Ethan remember that he had forgotten to give him the money.

So, he turned around and apologized, “I'm sorry, I'll give you the money right away.”

However, the burly man waved his hand and said, “What did you two just say? You want to use the red-purple heavenly flame to temper your body?”

Ethan was taken aback and then nodded, “That's the idea.”

The burly man couldn't help but burst out laughing, “Kid, this is the red-purple heavenly flame, specifically for refining artifacts, not for tempering the body!”

“Let alone the red-purple heavenly flames during the Outbreak Period, even the flames during the calm period are not something the flesh can touch!”

Ethan forced a bitter smile and said, “I know it's difficult, but I still want to give it a try.”

At this point, Ethan looked at the burly man expectantly and said, “Big brother, can you lend me some of the red-purple heavenly flame?”

The burly man looked down at the dancing flames in his bucket and smirked, “No, that's too crazy. If something happens to you, I don't want to be responsible.”

Ethan quickly pleaded, “Big brother, please, if anything happens to me, it's my fault, and it has nothing to do with you! I can swear!”

The burly man furrowed his brows deeply and didn't say anything for a while.

Ethan continued to plead, and under his persistent begging, the burly man finally relented.

He looked at the young girl beside him and said, “Paige, take him to the waste pond in the backyard.”

The girl called Paige quickly nodded and whispered, “Please, follow me.”

Ethan asked somewhat puzzledly, “Big brother, what is this waste pond?”

The burly man pointed to the bucket in front of him and said, “Once we've used the heavenly flames and their temperature is no longer sufficient to melt divine artifacts, they're thrown into the waste pond. The flames in the waste pond have a much lower temperature in comparison.”

Upon hearing this, Ethan was overjoyed, “Big brother, thank you so much!”

“Don't celebrate too soon. Even though it's waste fire, it's not something the flesh can handle,” the burly man said coldly.

“If anything happens to you here, I won't be responsible.”

In the end, the burly man added another sentence.

Ethan bowed and said, “Big brother, don't worry, anything that happens will have nothing to do with you.”

After that, Ethan looked at Paige.

Paige quickly turned around and led Ethan towards the backyard.

Passing through the Artifact Refining Workshop, Ethan saw many grinding tools along the way, surrounded by magical artifacts, each seemingly prepared for the tempering of divine weapons.

“Father doesn't like people looking.” Paige whispered a reminder.

Ethan quickly took his eyes off the sight and apologized, “I'm sorry.”

As they approached the backyard, the temperature got higher.

Paige's fair skin was covered in a layer of sweat, and she couldn't help but reach out and gently wipe it away.

“Damn, it's too hot, I can't stand it anymore,” Randall Freeman cursed.

Ethan glanced at him and said, “Master, if little Paige can stand it, aren't you afraid of losing face by complaining?”

Hearing this, Randall Freeman muttered softly, “I was just born heat-sensitive…”

As they talked, the three of them arrived at the waste pond.

There were purple flames jumping in the waste pond, and compared to the flames in the buckets outside, the light in the waste pond was noticeably dimmer.

It's unknown what kind of material was used around the waste pond, but at this moment, it was emitting a faint glow.

Materials that could withstand the red-purple heavenly flame must be extraordinary.

“This is the waste pond.” Paige said.

Ethan bowed slightly and said, “Thank you.”

By the waste pond, Randall Freeman was sweating profusely, and Paige was too scared to get close, afraid of being swallowed up by the flames.

From several meters away, Ethan could feel the intense heat that seemed to melt people.

He took a deep breath, a faint golden glow emanated from his body, and he approached the waste pond.

The closer he got to the waste pond, the stronger the heat became, and even Ethan felt bursts of pain coming from his body.

Outside the door.

The burly man put down his work, turned his head toward Ethan, and seemed curious whether Ethan could withstand the fire.

By the waste pond, Ethan got closer and closer to the heavenly flame, and his face became flushed. His clothes were burned away, revealing his well-toned muscles.

“No one can withstand the red-purple heavenly flames within five meters.” The burly man stood at the door, watching Ethan and muttered coldly.

Despite his words, there seemed to be a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.

In all his years in Divine Artifact City, no one has ever been able to withstand the red-purple heavenly flame using their fleshly bodies, not even from five meters away from the waste pond.
