He hadn't expected to see a woman in azure here. Judging by her appearance, she was only in her twenties, yet unexpectedly, her cultivation was remarkably powerful.
Possessing formidable strength himself, he could instantly discern the Yin-evil aura permeating this place and knew how difficult it would be to purge. He had assumed an elderly predecessor would intervene here, but never imagined it would be this woman.
He suppressed the turmoil within, hiding the shock and bewilderment in his eyes. His gaze flickered as he watched the flames spreading beneath her feet in the wind and rain.

Historically, cultivators who possessed innate Heavenly Fire were mostly alchemists or artifact forgers. But which path did this woman follow? Or both? And how could she wield such formidable power?
