Ling Tian did not rush out, he knew the principle of "sharpening the axe does not delay the chopping of wood".
He sat down cross-legged and began to circulate the Chaos Devouring Heaven Art, slowly digesting the fire-attribute spiritual energy of heaven and earth he had absorbed into his body.
At the same time, his mind was not idle; he was also working hard to digest the information he had just obtained.
Through this information, he gained a deep understanding of some of the supernatural phenomena on the island and formulated corresponding countermeasures.
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Tian reopened his eyes. He stood up and came to the center of the blacksmith shop, next to the Blazing Heaven Cauldron.
With a flash of thought, a sharp dagger appeared in Ling Tian's hand. He exerted force, cutting his middle finger with a single stroke. A deep gash appeared on his finger, and blood immediately gushed out.
Ling Tian directly pointed his bleeding finger at a very special pattern on the Blazing Heaven Cauldron. The moment the blood from his finger touched this pattern, Ling Tian suddenly felt a surge of immense scorching energy released from the cauldron.
Immediately after, Ling Tian felt as if the Blazing Heaven Cauldron had come to life and began to desperately suck the blood flowing from his finger.
As Ling Tian's blood flowed out, he also noticed that the very strange patterns on the outer side of the Blazing Heaven Cauldron were turning red at a very rapid pace.
Ling Tian was a little scared at this moment because he felt as if the blood in his body was flowing out like a faucet that had been turned on.
As a doctor, Ling Tian naturally knew how dangerous this situation was.
The symptoms exhibited by the human body varied depending on the speed and amount of blood loss.
Generally speaking, when blood loss reaches 1200ml or more at one time, which is about 20% of the total body volume, hemorrhagic shock symptoms will appear.
If timely treatment such as blood transfusion and hemostasis is not performed, the body's various functions will enter a state of insufficient blood supply, ultimately leading to the patient's clinical death.
But Ling Tian could feel that in just these tens of seconds, his blood loss must have exceeded 1000ml!
This meant that Ling Tian's body had been transformed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and he was considered a cultivator. Otherwise, an ordinary person would have died on the spot after losing so much blood in such a short period.
The blood loss continued. Finally, after Ling Tian felt that he had lost about two liters of blood, this feeling of blood loss finally stopped!
Ling Tian then looked at the Blazing Heaven Cauldron and found that all the patterns engraved on the outside of the entire cauldron had turned red!
And at this very moment, Ling Tian suddenly felt a connection with the Blazing Heaven Cauldron.
He reached out, and with a flash of thought, the originally circular cauldron with a diameter of more than two meters suddenly shrank in size and floated in mid-air.
A few seconds later, a massive cauldron became only the size of a melon and then landed steadily in Ling Tian's hand.
"Holy crap, that's awesome!"
Ling Tian held the Blazing Heaven Cauldron in his hand, feeling the temperature emanating from it. It felt very warm, like holding a hand warmer.
With another flash of thought, Ling Tian's figure appeared outside the Spirit Realm space. By this time, it was already nighttime outside.
However, at night, even ordinary people's eyesight could see the fire spirit phantoms wandering around. These things floated around like ghost fires, looking quite eerie.
Soon, a fire spirit phantom discovered Ling Tian's presence. Driven by instinct, the fire spirit phantom pounced directly at Ling Tian.
However, this time, Ling Tian had a plan. He raised his hand towards the fire spirit phantom and revealed the Blazing Heaven Cauldron in his hand.
In an instant, a powerful suction force emanated from the melon-sized cauldron.
The fire spirit phantom, in the form of an energy body, was directly sucked into the Blazing Heaven Cauldron before it could even react!
This thing had a certain degree of intelligence and some foresight and instinct for danger. It could sense that the Blazing Heaven Cauldron was a very dangerous item for spiritual bodies.
However, this was of no use. The fire spirit phantom was sucked into the Blazing Heaven Cauldron with a whoosh!
Ling Tian had already performed a blood pact with the cauldron, so what happened inside the cauldron was also visible to Ling Tian.
After being absorbed by the cauldron, the fire spirit phantom's intelligence was erased almost instantly.
Now, it had turned into a pure fire-attribute energy, drifting within the vast space inside the cauldron.
"Haha, good stuff!"
With the Blazing Heaven Cauldron in his possession, Ling Tian was overjoyed. He no longer had to fear that these fire spirit phantoms would harm him.
Thus, Ling Tian continued, holding a compass in his left hand and the cauldron in his right, exploring and capturing fire spirit phantoms.
He held the Blazing Heaven Cauldron directly in his hand, and it absorbed the fire-attribute spiritual energy of heaven and earth outside his body. It was precisely because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was so abundant in this volcanic region that Ling Tian had not already depleted it.
In this way, by the time dawn broke, Ling Tian had captured over 80 fire spirit phantoms, all of which were confined within the Blazing Heaven Cauldron!
At this point, Ling Tian had also arrived at the crater.
He stood on the edge of the crater and looked down. Fifty meters below, there was magma, with vast amounts of magma churning, creating a tremendous visual impact.
However, this magma did not seem to have any intention of erupting. Instead, it flowed out from several small openings next to the crater.
The flowing magma followed a slope, eventually flowing into the sea, where it was cooled by the seawater and became part of Hell Paradise Island.
Ling Tian took out his compass again. Through the pointer on the compass, he could determine that the seemingly stable and harmonious situation before him was an illusion.
Behind all of this lay a ticking time bomb!
Next, Ling Tian did not rest. He absorbed the fire-attribute spiritual energy of heaven and earth near the crater while capturing fire spirit phantoms.
However, the fire spirit phantoms were quickly captured by him. The conditions for the birth of these things were very harsh, requiring a large amount of concentrated fire-attribute spiritual energy of heaven and earth to have a certain chance of producing fire spirit phantoms.
The accumulation of fire spirit phantoms on the island over decades of natural generation was completely captured by Ling Tian.
And every time Ling Tian's internal spiritual energy was fully absorbed, he would immediately hide in the Spirit Realm space and circulate his energy to digest it.
In this way, Ling Tian repeatedly entered and exited, and his strength grew rapidly!
