These flames are extremely magical; Fang Zhou couldn't even use the gourd's authority to remove them.
He could only put the Fire of Hope back into the sheepskin pouch, and only then did the flames transform into a blaze rising to the sky and disappear.
Fortunately, this was inside the gourd; otherwise, the Ancient Dragons would have surely seen it.
Obtaining the Fire of Hope is just the first step; next, he needs to deal with the Ancient Dragons, or else, in their attempt to retrieve the Fire of Hope, they might kill all humans in the world.
If he solves the Ancient Dragons, they will surely curse the Fire of Hope and the Fire Stealers, causing the Fire of Hope to be tainted by the curse.
Therefore, Fang Zhou must solve the matter of the Nine Yang Marrow Cleansing Pill before the Fire of Hope becomes tainted.
The two brought the Fire of Hope to the garbage mountain in the gourd space, where there stood a bronze Alchemy Furnace over three meters high.
