The Strongest Prodigy Doctor

In the enormous cavern, the fiery-red lava flows slowly within, intermittently with massive bubbles emerging from the magma. Then, following a gentle sound, with a bang, it bursts open, and the scorching lava shoots out like a vibrant firework.

Standing at the small passage's end, Ye Tianfan gazes at the seemingly boundless world of lava before him, swallowing involuntarily amidst the awe.

"I never expected to be lucky enough to witness such a spectacular sight!" Ye Tianfan remarked in amazement while looking at the environment.

Yet, at this moment, Ye Tianfan displayed a somewhat puzzled expression.

"Strange, now there's no path, so there shouldn't be anything around here." After all, the feeling of delight within Ye Tianfan's body still surged forward.

Just then, Ye Tianfan suddenly felt a cool sensation penetrate into his body through his feet.

Immediately, Ye Tianfan quickly sat cross-legged, wanting to discover what this cool sensation was.

After conjuring the Xuanhuang Tower, Ye Tianfan directly began to probe his body with his Divine Sense.

Ye Tianfan used his Divine Sense to observe several times and wholeheartedly trying to feel.

The result was he felt nothing.

Ye Tianfan was puzzled, could that cool sensation be an illusion? He was uncertain, yet soon dismissed this thought, as Cultivators are generally not mistaken in their feelings.

However, when truly unable to find that trace of coolness, Ye Tianfan decided to ignore it.

The thing attracting Ye Tianfan was right in the lava ahead, while Ye Tianfan was on the shore.

Isn't this absurd? With the item in the lava, how is Ye Tianfan supposed to go down? This is ridiculous, Ye Tianfan muttered in his heart.

However, Ye Tianfan had a method, which was to conjure the Xuanhuang Tower, then dive down while protected by it.

But if he did that, Ye Tianfan's Spiritual Power would be rapidly exhausted.

One must understand that this natural lava is different from artificially created lava; though the temperatures are similar, the massive Spiritual Power within the natural lava will also erode you when it burns.

Moreover, these lava-wielded Spiritual Powers have scorching properties; simply put, these energies cannot be directly absorbed, as doing so will scorch your veins.

This lava is akin to Evil Qi, only less severe,

If Ye Tianfan went into the Magma Pool protected by the Xuanhuang Tower, he would at most last around ten minutes before the tower shattered from lack of Spiritual Power.

If Ye Tianfan wasn't already in the Thousand Source Realm, he wouldn't even last a single minute.

Such is the difference between natural lava and artificially created lava.

Just like a thunderclap from the sky, Cultivators proficient in Thunder Techniques can only surpass the power of natural lightning if their strength reaches above the Hundred Convergence Realm; otherwise, despite similar power, the subsequent erosion of Spiritual Power cannot match natural forces.

Ye Tianfan hesitated on shore for a while, but as the desire within him grew, he ultimately decided to go in; ten minutes will suffice for searching, and what if he finds it immediately, wouldn't that mean his strength advances another step!

Therefore, Ye Tianfan conjured the Xuanhuang Tower, preparing to jump straight in.

Just as Ye Tianfan was about to leap down, a muffled sound suddenly erupted from the calm lava lake below, instantly thrusting countless scorching magma.

Amidst the sky-bound lava spray, a colossal mysterious beast, clad with lava, abruptly burst from the magma, darting lightning-fast towards the shore to snap at the about-to-jump Ye Tianfan.

Oh no!

Ye Tianfan shivered violently and then engaged the Ye Family's seventy-six skills, using [Chasing the Wind].

In an instant, he blinked to the side.

Once Ye Tianfan safely landed, he looked at the giant mysterious beast, cursing inwardly: Damn, nearly scared him to death; if not for his timely reaction, he'd have jumped right into the beast's mouth.

While Ye Tianfan cursed internally, he clearly observed the mysterious beast's appearance, causing him deep shock.

He narrowly escaped entirely due to good luck and fortune!

As for why Ye Tianfan said this, it's because he recognized the mysterious beast, clearly recalling it.

Ye Tianfan recognized the mysterious beast so well because he had read its description in a book and found it particularly intriguing.

The book describes the mysterious beast as follows:

Eight zhang and eight in length, scales as hard as steel, mouth as large as a lake, it enjoys consuming magma and drinking lava, highly sensitive to its territory, even if a fly enters, it will strive to eliminate it.

Moreover, this beast's strength generally ranges from First Layer of Hundred Convergence up to Fourth Layer of Ten Directions, egg-born.

The beast's scales can be used in Artifact Refining, gallbladder in Alchemy, bones in Array Crafting, and its flesh can be culinary prepared and is extremely delicious.

During the first Gourmet God Competition, two Sects nearly fought over a dish made from this beast.

This beast is the Hellfire Snake!

Ye Tianfan learned from the description that the Hellfire Snake's flesh is extraordinarily delectable, so much so that two Sects nearly fought over the dish.

Regarding Artifact Refining, Alchemy, and Array Crafting, Ye Tianfan simply didn't care.

Why not care? Because Ye Tianfan simply doesn't know how; he wouldn't bother with those matters, but eating is his forte, so the Hellfire Snake's meat quality is what he's most concerned about.

Moreover, Ye Tianfan wishes to taste whether the Hellfire Snake's meat is as delicious as the book claims.

Furthermore, the book states that Hellfire Snake's meat surpasses that of Demon Beasts of the Ten Directions Realm.

It's known that the stronger a Demon Beast is, the more precious its body becomes; internal organs for Alchemy, scales for Artifact Refining, bones for Array Crafting, all become better with a stronger Demon Beast.

The same applies to flesh, the higher the strength, the more Spiritual Power nourishes the body, the tastier the meat becomes.

However, among Demon Beasts, there is a unique one, which is the Hellfire Snake.

When the Hellfire Snake is at the Hundred Convergence strength, its meat quality nearly matches that of Ten Directions Beasts.

When the Hellfire Snake reaches Ten Directions strength, its meat quality reaches the pinnacle of Ten Directions.

Essentially, the Hellfire Snake's meat always surpasses its own strength.
