Wan Ling didn’t think much about it. Instead, she looked at Shen Yuan with shining eyes, “You comprehended it so fast, Senior Brother! You are really a genius.”
Shen Yuan smiled lightly and patted her head, “Now, let’s not waste time and go look for another inheritance site. We have already wasted enough time here.”
He started walking again while observing the dense forest for any uncharted areas. Ling Mei and the others followed behind without asking who else also comprehended it, as it was their secret.
Shen Yuan smiled to himself, seeing their tacit cooperation, ‘A good sect indeed nurtures good disciples.’
…
They came across various ruins, and Shen Yuan had all of them enter to learn and test their luck. Some got inheritances, some got valuable training experience.
Overall, none of them left empty-handed from the ruins.
After a while, Shen Yuan found a stone path, which led to a large coliseum-like building.
The other disciples stood behind him, watching in awe as the coliseum released an ancient aura that seemed timeless yet showed signs of decay.
They couldn’t help but appraise the building again and again, trying to find something special about it other than its unique aura, but they couldn’t come up with anything. freewebnvel.com
Shen Yuan smiled and said, “The real thing is inside the coliseum, no point in standing outside staring at the building.”
He saw a few carvings and murals on the stone path while coming inside, but they were so finely crafted that no ordinary cultivator could notice them, especially disciples as weak as their group.
Shen Yuan didn’t point them out as there was no meaning in it.
“Do you know what is in there, Senior Brother Shen Yuan?” Zhao Lian asked lightly as she glanced all around, hoping to find some clues.
“If I’m correct,” Shen Yuan began, “inside is the thing I have been looking for ever since I entered the Mystique Realm. Let’s head inside to confirm my guess.”
The rest of the group nodded their heads and started walking on the straight stone path leading towards the huge coliseum.
Both sides of the path were decorated with lamps that seemed to have worn out after all these years.
Shen Yuan felt his heart pump faster at the thought of getting his hands on the treasure he had been looking for. Wan Ling, noticing his excitement, asked lightly, “Senior Brother, if you don’t mind me asking, what are you exactly looking for?”
Shen Yuan smiled, “Hehe, you will find out about it once we enter inside.”
Wan Ling rolled her eyes at him but didn’t continue to question his choice. Instead, she increased her pace to reach the inside faster.
Watching her, the rest of the disciples also picked up their pace and entered the huge gate of the coliseum.
Shen Yuan shook his head and followed them inside.
What came into his view was a magnificent forge, where fire used to burn brightly as treasures of the highest grades were crafted.
He saw a huge forge inside, and beside it lay hammers, anvils, and other tools.
His eyes were automatically attracted to the scripture imprinted on top of the forge as he came forward to read it.
But he soon paused his steps as he saw that the disciples who first went inside came out before leaving him behind and standing at the gate.
Shen Yuan looked at them with slight confusion but didn’t ask anything right away, waiting for them to explain themselves first.
Ling Mei took a step forward, standing in front of the group. She smiled lightly and spoke, “You can take this inheritance, Senior Brother. We have already gotten too many good things thanks to you on this trip.”
Chen Yue took a step forward as well and spoke softly, “Indeed, since you were already looking for this stuff, you can take the entire inheritance. None of us are suited to become blacksmiths anyway.”
The rest of the disciples nodded their heads in agreement while chuckling softly.
Shen Yuan smiled hearing their words, and he nodded his head, “Then I won’t be polite.”
He started placing all the tools inside the coliseum into his spatial ring. He took the Old Anvil, Blacksmithing Tools, Damaged Weapons, Blueprints or Scrolls, Quenching Tank, etc.
In the end, he came before the forge, where he found three words engraved on it. The words flickered with flames as Shen Yuan couldn’t decipher in what language they were written.
He moved his hand forward to touch it, but almost as if sensing him, the words came to life as their flames intensified. The flames engulfed his entire hand.
The disciples’ eyes widened in horror as they saw the flame engulfing Shen Yuan, but before they could react, the flame gathered together and transformed into a rune forming the three words ‘Inferno Smithing Technique’ before vanishing inside Shen Yuan’s forehead.
The disciples hurriedly ran toward Shen Yuan, “Senior Brother! Are you alright?” Wan Ling grabbed his hand to see if he was hurt or not as she examined him closely.
Ling Mei and Chen Yue also closely looked at him. Meanwhile, Shen Yuan closed his eyes to see where the flaming rune went.

After searching, he found it inside his Sea of Consciousness, but just as he was about to touch it with his senses, his bloodline stirred and put enormous pressure on the rune, forcing it to move away from the Sea of Consciousness all the way to his third dantian.
Shen Yuan could only see this scene in silence as he himself didn’t know when or how his bloodline would react.
‘Tf, why would you do that? You don’t even stay in my Sea of Consciousness.’ He muttered inside his heart, but the bloodline didn’t react again.
He then looked inside of his third dantian, which now housed the ‘Inferno Smithing Technique.’ But he didn’t try to comprehend it right away, as he knew the girls were anxiously waiting for him.
He opened his eyes to see Wan Ling in front of him, her eyes glistening with tears as she was on the verge of crying.
He saw that the rest of the disciples were also in a similar condition. After staying together for quite a few days and having been saved by him many times, they were seeing Shen Yuan as their spiritual pillar.
Now that they thought he was injured, they felt sad for him. He moved forward and hugged Wan Ling, patting her back as he softly whispered in her ear, “Don’t worry, I’m alright. No need to be sad now, okay?”
Wan Ling sniffled softly as she placed her head on his chest and hugged him tightly, as if afraid to lose him again. Shen Yuan shook his head and continued patting her.
He glanced around to see that the others had calmed down by now. Ling Mei took a deep breath and asked, “What was that? How did your hand catch on fire all of a sudden? And it even seemed as if it was going to swallow you.”
Shen Yuan looked at her and smiled, “I got what I was looking for, and this inheritance site is one of the core places of this Mystique Realm. I doubt we can find anything better than this.”
