1936 Flame Soul Lamp

Lin Mu and many others looked at the lamp that had just appeared wondering what it was. 

Some of the people among the crowd though had a look of understanding, as if they had seen this lamp before. 

The Lamp looked rather simple, having four sides made out of glass. Its top and bottom looked to be made out of iron, and a hanging ring was attached at the top. There were no carvings on writings on it, and a yellow flame burned inside it.

And yet, this very simple looking lamp was exuding immortal Qi fluctuations that would blow most immortals away.

"A Peak Grade Immortal tool?" Lin Mu estimated its level.

"Awaken! Flame Soul Lamp!" Head Elder Heng commanded, causing the lamp to react.

~HUALA~

The gently burning yellow flame inside the lamp suddenly erupted like a volcano!

~ROAR~

At the same time a faint roar could be heard coming from the flames as if a beast was hidden within.

~WHOOSH~

Everyone had heard the roar when the yellow flames started to change. An illusory figure of a massive beast could be seen rising from it.

The figure took shape and had four limbs and two wings. It had a long neck and a head with two straight horns that went to the back. 

It had scales that were a mix of yellow and red while its eyes were a furious crimson.

~gasp~

"D-Dragon! It's a Dragon!" The juniors in the crowd exclaimed in shock.

After all, I wasn't everyday that they got to a dragon like this.

Lin Mu was surprised to but for different reasons. 

'For an illusory image to rise from the flames… are those not normal flames and perhaps a Dao Embryo?' Lin Mu wondered.

"For the juniors who have never seem this, know that these are the flames of the Gold Blaze Dragon!" Head Elder Dajian spoke, wanting to educate the juniors of the Serene Glass Valley.

After all, this was also meant to be a learning experience, and as such it was important for them to know what kind of capabilities the valley held. They would one day be using them in the future, and as such needed to be well aware about them.

"The Flames of the Gold Blaze Dragon were gifted to us long ago, after the founding of the Serene Glass Valley by the ancestors who had joined the Immortal Court!" Head Elder Dajian revealed causing more gasps to be heard throughout the hall.

But at the same time, looks of pride could be seen on the faces of juniors as they couldn't help but feel great about their ancestors as well as the Serene Glass Valley.

"Today on this special occasion we shall be using the Gold Blaze Dragon's flames for forging!" Head Elder Dajian announced while Head Elder Heng continued to control the Soul Flame Lamp.

Lin Mu who watched all this couldn't help but be amazed.

'Even if they are the flames of the Gold Blaze Dragon, how are they still intact to this day?' Lin Mu wondered. "Does the Soul Flame Lamp have something to do with it?" he muttered.

Shuijing Mingzhu heard his words and easily guessed what Lin Mu must have been thinking. She was also one of the few people who had looks of understanding from the start, as if they knew what all the things were.

"The Flame Soul Lamp is a special Immortal Tool, Daoist Mu Lin. If a flame is placed inside it, the Flame Soul Lamp can not only keep it alive but even nurture it. Unlike other flames that would die out once the source of its energy was stopped, the Flame Soul Lamp can continued to provide it.

This even applies to unique flames that are created by beasts or special cultivation techniques." Shuijing Mingzhu explained in detail.

"No wonder even the flame of a Dragon can continue to exist like this. It is certainly impressive." Lin Mu nodded his head. 'So this is what I was sensing underground. It was actually the flames of the Gold Blaze Dragon.' He realized.

Lin Mu didn't know much about the Gold Blaze Dragon other than the fact that it was a true dragon and that it had wings too. But this didn't mean that Lin Mu couldn't figure out more things from the flame.

'The flames actually are dual elemental flames… Metal and Fire.' Lin Mu noticed the very first characteristic. 

Flames like this were rare as Fire would overpower the Metal element. Lin Mu was very familiar with it now, especially since he had just used them in combination earlier in the hot springs. Though of course, he had used the earth element too, but that didn't mean he hadn't noticed the suppressive characteristic of the fire on metal.

Lin Mu could also understand why one would use such flames. Not only were they very strong, due to the natural metal element within them they were actually good for sensitive metals that needs high heat to melt, but were also prone to warping at the same time.

Not to mention, the metal element within the Gold Blaze Dragon's Flames could also nurture the properties of the metals that might be used for weapon forging, thereby raising their potential.

Lin Mu was actually finding the Gold Blaze Dragon's flames rather comfortable too, due to his own affinity to the metal and fire elements.

'It could be a good flame to use, but its a shame that its a Dragon's unique flame.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

The second characteristic that Lin Mu noticed from the Gold Blaze Dragon's flames was the potential cultivation base of its owner. 

'It is easily at the Transcendent Immortal Realm or perhaps even higher.' Lin Mu understood.

This was due to the fact that the flames were actually exuding the power of a true immortal despite not being powered by its original owner.

'For the ancestors of the Serene Glass Valley to get this flame, it must not have been an easy task.' Lin Mu reckoned.
