The Molten Hearth continent was known for its volcanoes that covered a section of the northern regions of the continent. Aside from that, there was also a significant amount of fire Qi in the region, making it an excellent location to grow such ingredients.
Alex and the rest had arrived at the Ember Forest, a large forest the size of multiple countries where beasts and plants grew uncontested.
Cultivators went in frequently to get some ingredients, but none of it belonged to them.
Alex felt the fire Qi in the air and was surprised at just how much there was for him to feel. "It's like something is eternally burning around here," he said as he walked into the forest.
This was the first place he was visiting after arriving at the continent and it was simply something he had never felt before.
"This land has had so much volcano around it that at some point, most of the Spirit veins here have been turned into Fire Spirit Vein," Silvermist answered.
