Chapter 260: Special Flames Back when the Mother of Bloodbath had been experiencing the cleansing of heaven and earth and upgraded from Suzerain/Myth I to Myth II, she learned about Lin Yuan’s strength. As she had been experiencing the cleanse previously, she hadn’t had the time to think too much. But after some pondering, she was shocked by Lin Yuan’s strength. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖 In the Mother of Bloodbath’s opinion, even if Lin Yuan was the Moon Empress’ disciple, it was still too shocking for him to possess such strength at this young age. It was why the Mother of Bloodbath recommended Lin Yuan to train in a controlled Class 3 dimensional rift. Seated on the back of the Gold Broad-Winged Ashy Woodswallow, Lin Yuan welcomed the morning autumn breeze and closed his eyes to rest. The Gold Broad-Winged Ashy Woodswallow had a speed that was easily ranked top three among the Gold flying feys that could be ordered in the Royal Capital. Its speed might not be comparable with the Platinum Divine Travel Black Swallow, but the comfort level was much better and still had speed. At least, when Lin Yuan sat on the Broad-Winged Ashy Woodswallow, he wouldn’t have to endure the pain on his buttocks. The controlled Class 3 abyss dimensional rift wasn’t considered far from the Royal Capital. The Broad-Winged Ashy Woodswallow flew for around two to three hours before reaching the place. When Lin Yuan alighted the Broad-Winged Ashy Woodswallow and looked at the Class 3 abyss dimensional rift entrance, he couldn’t help lamenting. There were plenty of stalls and vendors at the entrance area of the dimensional rift. Most of them were selling daily supplies. It was a scene that made Lin Yuan involuntarily recall Millstone Town. However, Millstone Town had already experienced close to 100 years of history and had already settled down into a place where plenty of spirit qi professionals called home for the generation. The market in front of the Class 3 dimensional rift might look similar to Millstone Town, but it wasn’t possible to maintain a long business in front of this controlled Class 3 abyss dimensional rift. After every decade or so, the dimensional rifts would enter the active period. Once the active period started, many other dimensional rifts would start to appear throughout the Radiance Federation during the year. It was fine during the first half of the year as there were relatively fewer dimensional rifts opening. However, during the second half of the year, the dimensional rift openings’ frequency would increase constantly. In the Radiance Federation’s history, during the dimensional rifts’ active period, a Class 4 dimensional rift had opened once. The Class 6 dimensional lifeforms inside the Class 4 dimensional rifts had strength that was comparable to Suzerain feys. Once the dimensional rifts’ active period was approaching, the Radiance Federation would enter a war preparation state. This year would be filled with danger and opportunities. The active period of the dimensional rifts would always contribute huge quantities of source-type items. During the active period, controlled Class 3 dimensional rifts would have their final source-type item taken out before getting destroyed. Otherwise, the controlled Class 3 dimensional rift might just transform into a Class 4 dimensional rift when it was the active period. By then, it would be a disaster. For such controlled Class 3 dimensional rifts, they were all established by the Guild Alliance’s branches. Spirit qi professionals could set up their teams here and obtain gathering missions that were related to the abyss dimensional rift. The abyss dimensional rift wasn’t really a place that would produce valuable spiritual ingredients. Even if there were any, it would be those fire-attribute spiritual ingredients. However, inside the abyss dimensional rifts, there were special flames. The special flames were truly mystical, and as long as they were injected into the spirit qi, they would constantly burn. Such flames were rather useful to some of the lifestyle-class spirit qi professionals. Spirit Craftsmen or Smiths would need such special flames. In fact, one of the three Class 5 Creation Masters, the Chef Supreme, was said to have a special flame that was the fusion of several different special flames that could only be found in Class 4 abyss dimensional rifts. Once the special flames fused together, they would form a brand new type of flame. The Chef Supreme used this special flame to cook delicacies that could enhance feys by upgrading their quality and allowing the feys to evolve to the next grade quickly. At the same time, the flames could also repair the damaged roots. Lin Yuan noticed there were plenty of people pointing at him and discussing something. Lin Yuan listened carefully and heard it... “This silver mask attire, how many have I seen this week? Even if there aren’t 20, there are at least 10.” “Brother, can you not use this week? Today is only Tuesday. Can’t you just say you have met at least ten on Monday?” “This silver-masked kid isn’t professional enough! He isn’t even wearing black clothes. This is the worst attire I have seen so far, but his silver mask does look much more exquisite than the others.” Lin Yuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he had never received any praise for trying to dress as himself. While thinking like this, Lin Yuan paused for a moment. Why am I even trying to dress as myself? I am myself! This time, Lin Yuan didn’t choose to join a team like the time he had visited the Endless Forest. He verified his identity alone and entered the Class 3 abyss dimensional rift. After entering this controlled Class 3 dimensional rift, Lin Yuan realized that it was much more flourishing on the inside. The entrance was just like a huge camp, and it was selling all the supplies required in the abyss dimensional rift. Lin Yuan could feel that the abyss dimensional rift’s temperature was at least 30 degrees warmer than outside. The temperature outside the Royal Capital was 15 degrees, but the temperature inside the Class 3 abyss dimensional rift was close to 50 degrees, and there was a sulfur smell. It was a kind of heat that made Lin Yuan feel uncomfortable. However, Lin Yuan didn’t really bother about the high temperature. While no one noticed, the amber button-shaped Source Sand on Lin Yuan’s sleeve had fallen onto the ground. The Source Sand had already turned into fine sand and dug into the abyss dimensional rift’s purplish-black soil. The Source Sand’s ability to create sand was its own ability and didn’t need Lin Yuan to use any spiritual power to control it. Therefore, Lin Yuan simply allowed the Gold I/Fantasy I Source Sand to create sand freely in the direction he was going to travel. All of a sudden, Lin Yuan felt someone lightly tugging on his sleeve. He turned around to see a young girl that was even younger than Chu Ci. However, this young girl’s face was reddish, and she had small freckles. Her face had this innocent smile that could influence others, while her big round eyes were just like glistening black grapes. The young girl saw that Lin Yuan was looking at her, so she handed over an icy-blue grass and said, “Big Brother, you like Big Brother Black too, right? Little Zao likes him too. This Ice Mist Grass is for Big Brother. I hope that those demon baddies will not bully Big Brother.” Lin Yuan crouched down when he saw the girl handing over an Ice Mist Grass to him. He touched the ahoge[1] on the young girl’s head and asked, “Little Zao, why are you giving Big Brother an Ice Mist Grass?” When Lin Yuan saw the ahoge on the young girl’s head, he couldn’t help thinking about Chu Ci as her head would always have an ahoge too. Looking at this young girl’s reddish skin, Lin Yuan knew that this young girl must have been living within the controlled Class 3 abyss dimensional rift for a substantial period. The skin’s redness could only be possible after being exposed to the heat in this environment for a long period. The Ice Mist Grass was a very common fey in the outside world, and the price would be around 100 Federation dollars. The only effect it could provide was to release some icy mist to lower the surrounding environment’s temperature. When the young girl heard Lin Yuan’s question, she immediately revealed a big smile and said, “Big Brother Black is Little Zao’s idol. Therefore, Little Zao is giving Big Brother an entire stalk of Ice Mist Grass, while Little Zao is only giving others a piece of leaf.” Lin Yuan was rather surprised as he felt that this young girl called Little Zao was actually his fan. But Lin Yuan felt there was something strange. “Little Zao, why are you giving everyone a piece of leaf from the Ice Mist Grass?” Little Zao responded delightfully, “Mother asked Little Zao to do so. Mother says that those Uncles, Aunties, Big Brothers, and Big Sisters are here in the dimensional rift to beat up those demon baddies. It is why those demon baddies are fewer in number. “Mother will then be able to bring Little Zao here to bring the Uncles, Aunties, Big Brothers, and Big Sisters something nice to eat. This way, Little Zao can also eat the shaved ice that mother makes every day. Mother says...” While speaking until this point, Lin Yuan saw Little Zao pondering before her eyes lit up as though she thought of something. “Mother says this is called gratitude.” When Lin Yuan saw Little Zao’s innocent smile, his face behind the mask revealed a sunshine smile. Little Zao’s words had touched Lin Yuan’s heart. Such simple words felt as though they were shining with radiant light.
