Chapter 22 Earth Core Fire Crystal, Refining the Earth Vein Profound Yang Fire
As dusk swallowed the sky, the volcanoes broke free from the silence of daytime and revealed their fiery true nature.
The night sky was scorching hot from the heat of the volcano. What should have been an inky black sky was now bathed in the glow of countless craters, tinged with a gradient of orange-red and dark purple.
Occasionally, crimson lava flows slowly along the cracks in the volcanic rock, leaving winding fire trails on the ground, like golden veins cracking open in the earth.
As Zhang Xuanchen continued to venture deeper, he could no longer see any trace of cultivators.
He was hiding in a clump of grass, his breath-concealing technique at its maximum.
A hundred meters away, a giant monster, over ten meters long, with claws treading on flames, its mane flowing like lava, and surrounded by crimson flames, was searching for something.
The late-stage, second-tier Flame Hou is a type of extremely powerful demonic beast.
If they discover us, a fierce battle is inevitable.
Zhang Xuanchen hid in the shadows, holding his breath and daring not to move an inch.
Roar!
A powerful roar echoed through the sky, proclaiming itself the master of this area.
Sparks fly when it roars.
They burned the reddish ground into black charcoal.
Then he turned and left.
Only after confirming that the Flaming Hou had left did Zhang Xuanchen breathe a sigh of relief.
It is not a wise choice to confront it.
The fact that the Earth Vein Profound Yang Fire was nurtured in this demonic beast's territory was good news for Zhang Xuanchen.
This means that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, no other cultivators will come to disturb them.
We arrived at a small hill that was three or four hundred meters high.
Zhang Xuanchen confirmed that the Earth Vein Profound Yang Fire was located in this spot.
It is located more than 100 meters underground in the very center of this small hill.
In other words, you just need to keep digging forward, like digging a tunnel.
Zhang Xuanchen first set up a soundproof array around him, then randomly took out a first-grade high-quality magic weapon, a mining pick.
Find a secluded spot, and with one stroke of the hoe, a large expanse of reddish-brown rock is instantly shattered.
He was already secretly regretting not having practiced earth-attribute spells such as earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape from the earth).
He circulated his spiritual energy, digging while simultaneously blocking the small hole behind him to create a disguise.
As time went by, Zhang Xuanchen finally dug out the location of the Earth Vein Profound Yang Fire.
As the last hoe fell, I felt a sudden lightness in my body and I instantly fell to the ground.
Holy crap!
No sooner said than done, he drew the Qingfeng Sword and landed steadily on the blade.
Inside the earth lies a hidden world.
A large amount of lava gathered below, forming a fiery lava lake.
Amidst the churning magma, billowing smoke and crackling bubbles, its temperature was so high that even iron could be melted.
At the heart of the scorching magma, a crystal pillar floats in the air.
The crystals are crystal clear, and each one exudes terrifying fire-attribute spiritual power and scorching temperature.
A small fire dragon is located above the crystal pillar.
The surrounding flames flickered, which was the earth vein Xuan Yang Fire that was about to be born.
Zhang Xuanchen's pupils contracted sharply, then his face lit up with wild joy.
"Earth Core Fire Crystals! They're actually Tier 3 Top-Grade Earth Core Fire Crystals! There are so many! Their volume must be around three cubic meters."
How many Tier 3 top-grade magic weapons could this be used to forge?
Even if you sold the entire Zhang family, you couldn't buy that many.
Moreover, only five fist-sized fire crystals are needed to create a fire-attribute cultivation holy land in Xuanxiao Mountain!
It is of great help in alchemy and weapon crafting!
Hahaha! We've struck it rich! We've struck it rich! We're rich now!
Zhang Xuanchen suppressed his excitement and looked at the little fire dragon on the crystal pillar.
This is the most precious one.
Compared to it, the Earth's core fire crystal is nothing!
Without hesitation, Zhang Xuanchen activated the Burning Heaven Wind Control Technique and took out a third-grade mid-level Stillness Essence Locking Array Disc to get to work.
To be on the safe side, Zhang Xuanchen deployed all the second-tier defensive array plates and concealment array plates he carried.
The power of the Heavenly Spirit Fire at its inception could not exceed that of the Golden Core stage, and these preparations were sufficient to conceal the aura emitted by the Earth Vein Profound Yang Fire at its birth.
After doing all this, Zhang Xuanchen went to the little fire dragon's side.
He bit his finger and dripped his own blood onto it.
I want to try to establish a connection between myself and the Earth Vein Profound Yang Fire.
The blood evaporated as soon as it was dripped out.
This annoyed him.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he took out a second-grade superior Xuanbing Pearl.
He unleashed a wisp of ice-attribute spiritual energy to freeze his blood.
It was shot directly into the little dragon's body.
After waiting for a while, I realized that I didn't feel anything.
"Does it require essence blood?"
Without hesitation, he forced out a drop of essence blood and shot it into the little fire dragon's body.
……
I still don't feel anything.
Hey!
Sure enough, stories in folk tales are all lies!
child time.
A powerful aura suddenly erupted.
The entire underground cavern was instantly engulfed in flames.
The scalding magma exploded.
At the same time, the four second-tier defensive formations, three concealment formations, and the Quiet Origin Locking Breath Formation set up by Zhang Xuanchen were operating wildly, flashing with bursts of light.
Seeing the flames rushing towards him, Zhang Xuanchen, who had adjusted his breathing to its peak, instantly opened his eyes.
He activated the second-tier superior-grade Xuanbing Pearl hanging around his neck.
An ice wall enveloped him, protecting him from the flames.
The sound of melting ice was loud and clear.
Rumble!
The entire volcanic field shook violently, then immediately returned to calm.
"Holy crap! What happened?"
"Could it be that powerful beings are engaged in a magical duel?"
"It could also be the birth of a rare treasure!"
A young man waved his hand dismissively, saying, "When a rare treasure descends to earth, there will be a dazzling display of light as a backdrop. If it's just a tremor, it's probably a battle between powerful demons or great beings deep in the mountains."
"What you say is true, sir."
"Gentlemen, I shall take my leave now, lest I be caught in the crossfire."
……
Upon hearing the young man's words, many cultivators abandoned their plans to venture deeper into the area to investigate.
Of course, there were also some fearless rogue cultivators who wanted to venture deeper into the area to find hidden gems.
As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold.
As a rogue cultivator, the only way to gain an opportunity is to compete.
Underground caves.
Zhang Xuanchen watched the constantly shattering magic array, his heart pounding in his chest, fearing that the aura of the Earth Vein Profound Yang Fire would break through the array's restraints.
More than ten seconds later.
The flames finally subsided.
"It's a success!"
Zhang Xuanchen was overjoyed. He flashed to the side of the Earth Core Fire Crystal Pillar and looked at the little fire dragon wriggling at the top, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
Without hesitation, he immediately activated his cultivation technique, drawing the Earth Vein Profound Yang Fire towards himself.
With the tip of his tongue pressed against his palate, a drop of his life essence mixed with spiritual power surged from the tip of his throat.
It transformed into pale red blood streaks that wrapped around the little fire dragon.
Perhaps because of the drop of essence blood from Zhang Xuanchen earlier, the little fire dragon was entangled by the blood threads without any resistance.
This scene suited him perfectly.
The next moment, a powerful spiritual force enveloped the little fire dragon and drew it towards its dantian.
boom!
The Earth Vein Profound Yang Fire seemed to sense the danger.
The scorching flames suddenly erupted.
Zhang Xuanchen was instantly surrounded by flames.
The Xuanbing Pearl he was wearing trembled violently, and the icy energy inside kept evaporating.
