Ye Tianfan smiled, unsure of what to say, but perhaps this was for the best.

As the two were speaking, they were already flying towards the previously established temporary camp.

However, the appearance of the temporary camp now was indeed surprising to both of them.

The current temporary camp was completely different from the one casually constructed before. Now, it resembled a small village, with several better-quality buildings in the center and some cultivators guarding them. Surrounding it was a circle of residential houses, with a lookout tower encircling the outer residential area. Each lookout tower had a cultivator guarding it, and when Ye Tianfan and his companion flew towards the camp, they were guarded by cultivators in the sky.

"Who are you? What is your purpose here?"

As Ye Tianfan and his companion were marveling at the changes in the temporary camp, suddenly a cultivator flew towards them and addressed them.

"We are disciples of the Taichu Sect, having traveled outside to seek materials and now returning with them." Senior Brother Yun Tian replied nonchalantly, "I am Yun Tian, the chief disciple of Taichu Peak of the Taichu Sect. This is Tianfan, a disciple under Taichu Fire Peak."

Upon hearing this, the one asking questions quickly acknowledged, "So, you are indeed Senior Brother Yun Tian. Greetings, Senior Brother Yun Tian. I apologize for holding you back, Senior Brother Yun Tian." After paying respects to Senior Brother Yun Tian, he turned and also greeted Ye Tianfan, "Greetings, Senior Brother Tianfan."

Since those who could be responsible for guarding were generally newcomers in cultivation, they would be tasked with patrolling in the sky.

"No problem, it's your duty!" Senior Brother Yun Tian waved his hand to indicate he didn't mind. After all, if the person didn't stop him, he would have something to say; his duty was to intercept arrivals, and failing to do so would mean neglect.

Ye Tianfan nodded towards the patrol, as the proper words had already been spoken by Senior Brother Yun Tian. He didn't need to say more.

The patrol bowed again to Senior Brother Yun Tian, then to Ye Tianfan before turning away to leave.

Now that identities were clear, there was no need to linger here. The patrollers had their own responsibilities and didn't need to waste time here.

Ye Tianfan and his companion flew unobstructed to the camp's center, even the surrounding patrol didn't hinder them. It seemed the previous patrol had already informed all others of their arrival somehow.

Ye Tianfan and his companion had just arrived at the camp's center when they happened to meet Elder Yuan Chu. Seeing the two arrive, he directly asked.

"How is it? Have you brought back the materials?"

"Reporting to Uncle Yuan Chu, the materials have all been brought back!" Senior Brother Yun Tian replied with a salute.

"Reporting to Elder Yuan Chu, I've obtained the Holy Light Ore, but couldn't find the Extreme Heaven Fire. I only found its remnants." Ye Tianfan said a bit awkwardly.

Upon hearing Ye Tianfan's words, Elder Yuan Chu's pupils suddenly shrank.

Actually, after Elder Yuan Chu and others requested the Holy Light Ore and Extreme Heaven Fire, they had some regrets because they knew the cost these materials required. However, having said it, there was no way to retract, so they had to let the two search. If they couldn't find it, then it would be fine; they could try to obtain the Extreme Heaven Fire from the sect.

At this crucial moment, they wouldn't hesitate to borrow. If Elder Yuan Chu recalled correctly, the kind sect should have some Holy Light Ore, to exchange with them once Ye Tianfan returned.

Yet Elder Yuan Chu had never thought, Ye Tianfan not only found the Holy Light Ore but also the remnants of the Extreme Heaven Fire.

Actually, for artifact refining, even without the Extreme Heaven Fire, just having its remnants was sufficient.

Elder Yuan Chu quickly called both into his tent, also summoning Elder Yuan Chu and Elder Ping Chu.

Besides, before their arrival, he instructed Ye Tianfan and his companion to present the materials.

Ye Tianfan and his companion, obediently, took out the materials.

At this moment, Elder Yuan Chu's tent was opened, and a voice came through.

"Nephew Yun Tian and Nephew Tianfan have completed their task...!!!"

Halfway through the speech, it abruptly halted.

Ye Tianfan turned his head, seeing it was Elder Ping Chu, just about to pay respect but noticed he was staring intently at the still-unplaced remnants of the Extreme Heaven Fire in Ye Tianfan's hand as if seeing an unparalleled treasure.

"Could this possibly be the remnants of the Extreme Heaven Fire? And it's on the verge of dissipating." Elder Ping Chu said, panting heavily.

"What?" Elder Yuan Chu only now noticed the remnants of the Extreme Heaven Fire in Ye Tianfan's hand and was equally shocked.

Elder Yuan Chu had never thought the remnants Ye Tianfan referred to were this type; he always assumed the remnants were merely ashes and charred Spirit Stones.

Elder Yuan Chu couldn't have imagined Ye Tianfan had such a rare treasure in his hand.

Ye Tianfan was bewildered by their expressions, just planning to ask Yun Tian what was happening. However, Yun Tian appeared equally stunned, looking at Ye Tianfan as if he was a monster.

Ye Tianfan's mind was filled with questions, wondering what was going on. Was the mere presentation of this thing so astonishing?

Elder Yuan Chu entered at this moment, also noticed the remnants of the Extreme Heaven Fire in Ye Tianfan's hand and was similarly astounded. But being a scholar of medicine, he quickly calmed himself by managing his emotions well.

Then Elder Yuan Chu spoke, "Nephew Tianfan, rest assured that these remnants will suffice for refining magical treasures and array banners. Such a high-end material isn't necessary."

After Elder Yuan Chu spoke, he stepped forward to take the remnants from Ye Tianfan's hand.

Yet, at this moment, Elder Yuan Chu and Elder Ping Chu had already reacted, blocking Elder Yuan Chu's way.

Elder Yuan Chu stated, "Indeed, these are not needed for artifact refining, but I can use them to refine other magical treasures. Therefore, I should have them, junior!"

And Elder Ping Chu said, "Hey, your words are flawed. If I can get these materials, my array mastery will improve significantly, so they should come to me!"
