Chapter 117 “Doesn’t sound like something I can handle.

“That’s okay.”

Chen Yuan sat on the roof of the temple and shook his head. As long as there were no hidden injuries, it would be good to be alive after being attacked by a powerful fourth-level golden elixir. The pain didn’t matter.

He was worried that the damage to the Sea of ​​Divine Consciousness would leave some hidden wounds that would prevent him from forming a tenth-grade golden elixir.

Then he would really be so angry that he would kill someone.

This is completely acceptable now. Fortunately, he didn’t choose the “unbearable pain” entry that increased the pain. Otherwise, he would probably die from the pain now.

He didn’t want to stay here any longer, so it was business to go to the “Star Dou Sect” quickly to seek medicine.

After a pause, he lowered his head and looked down at the temple below. The shopkeeper who had not yet recovered from the shock said hoarsely: “Shopkeeper, why don’t you stay in a different place and let you out after a while?”

Then with a wave of his hand, the shopkeeper was sucked into the small world, and the shopkeeper did not resist.

Mootian Sect, in a clean disciple dormitory.

The shopkeeper suddenly appeared in this dormitory in shock. Before he could look around, a familiar voice came to his ears.

“Shopkeeper, it’s hard for you to stay in this house during this period.”

“After the storage ring is cracked, I will let you out.”

“Thank you for your hard work, shopkeeper. I’ll give you double reward this time.”

Just when Chen Hong waved his hand to signal the scholar to prepare to go to the “Star Dou Sect”, he suddenly saw the Jin Dan, the master of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, handed over by the scholar. He was stunned for a moment. He had a headache and dizziness. He suddenly felt a little more energetic and even shook his head and laughed. .

“Second-grade golden elixir?”

“Yeah.” The scholar couldn’t help but laugh: “Brother Yang is a blessing in disguise this time. It’s hard to find a second-grade golden elixir, so he can deliver it to your door yourself.”

“really.”

Chen Yang also nodded and took out a wooden box from his arms. He had many of these wooden boxes. They were all the boxes blessed by Heaven to contain the Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill. He placed the second-grade golden pill in front of him in the wooden box. , and placed it in the small world warehouse.

Now there are three second-grade golden elixirs.

Just six more.

One-third of the progress of the nine second-grade golden elixirs has been completed. If you calculate it this way, I feel that I am still a little bit at a loss from this blow.

Then he glanced at the scholar’s flying sword and saw several cracks on the flying sword. He frowned and said, “I remember that this flying sword is your natal spiritual treasure, right?”

“Um.”

The scholar nodded, then shook his head and said helplessly: “It’s a little damaged. The natal spiritual treasure and I are closely related. I have been injured to some extent, but the problem is not big. It can still be used. As long as it is not completely broken, it will be used in the future.” There’s always a way to fix it.”

“Then let’s go now, Brother Yang?”

“Let’s go.”

When passing by Fufeng City, he dropped the scholar brother in Fufeng City.

Chen Yuan and the three of them went to the “Xing Dou Sect” to seek elixirs, so that if something unexpected happened, they could quickly evacuate to Fufeng City through the bloodline entries of the scholar and his younger brother.

At the entrance of Xingdou Sect’s mountain gate.

“It shouldn’t be too much of a problem.”

The scholar lowered his voice and said: “This Xing Dou Sect has always had a good reputation. It has never taken action against anyone who came to ask for alchemy. The alchemy sect is generally a neutral sect, and all evil cultivators, demon cultivators, and righteous monks are treated equally.” of.”

“Um.”

Chen Yuan nodded and looked at the Xing Dou Sect’s mountain gate in front of him.

The Star Dou Sect is located on a peak. The sect’s site is at the top of the mountain, and the mountain gate is built halfway up the mountain. Two ten-foot-high stone pillars carved with strange patterns stand on the mountainside. There is no top. This is the mountain gate.

Anyone who sets foot on the Star Dou Sect’s territory from other places will be regarded as a hostile invasion.

At this time, two disciples guarding the mountain were standing at the mountain gate, looking them up and down.

“But you’re here to ask for elixirs? Is there any elder who can recommend you?”

One of the Shoushan disciples with a Chinese character face looked at Chen Yuan and the others and said in a deep voice.

“No.”

Chen Yuan shook his head and said softly: “No, I heard that Xing Dou Sect’s medicine refining skills are the best in Beizhou, so I came here specifically to ask for elixirs.”

Then he waved his hand, and the fat dragon on the side immediately took out two storage bags containing ten spirit stones from his arms, and stuffed them into the arms of the two mountain guarding disciples without leaving any trace.

This place is already bordering the boundless desert.

Standing on the mountainside, you can already see the endless desert in the distance. There are no oases, no springs, and no hills. There are just endless deserts that cannot be seen at a glance.

It’s obviously winter.

But for some reason, he could even feel the heat wave coming from the boundless desert, which was completely opposite to the boundless ice field.

“cough.”

The two gatekeeper disciples seemed to have casually accepted the storage bag handed over by Fei Long. One of the gatekeeper disciples clenched his fist and coughed lightly before whispering: “Are these fellow Taoists deceived?”

“You can buy foundation-building elixirs at Xiaxiafang Market. Generally, only golden elixir realm elixirs require going up the mountain to seek elixirs.”

“What we want is the golden elixir “Shen-Building Pill”. “

“God-replenishing pill?”

The gatekeeper glanced at Chen Yuan and the others strangely. How could any of the foundation-building monks ask for the replenishing pill? This is a pill to repair the damage to the consciousness. There is no chance for the foundation-building monks to have their consciousness damaged. They can only use the golden elixir. Only those who are capable of fighting will have their spiritual consciousness damaged. A foundation-building monk will die immediately after being attacked by his spiritual consciousness.

But after thinking about it, I guessed that it was the real person behind Jin Dan who came to ask for the elixir.

He immediately did not dare to neglect, and said with a serious face: “Follow me.”

Then he flew towards the top of the mountain with his sword, and Chen Yuan and others followed closely with their swords.

soon–

Then he entered the “Xing Dou Sect” sect, passed through the area of ​​​​outer disciples, inner disciples and came to the reception area of ​​Xing Dou Sect, a large tea room with agarwood burning.

Along the way, they met many disciples, and the scent of medicinal herbs wafted over the entire Star Dou Sect.

Basically, most of the disciples are alchemy cultivators.

It just seemed that the furnace explosion was a bit serious. I heard more than a dozen explosions along the way.

“Guys, please wait here for a moment.”

The disciple guarding the mountain who led them here said with a serious face: “I will report to the elders and will be here soon.”

“good.”

After the disciple guarding the mountain left, Feilong heard the explosions coming from outside the window from time to time, and couldn’t help but sigh: “No wonder alchemy cultivation costs money. With the speed of the furnace explosion, it will cost a lot of money just to buy the alchemy furnace this year.” Less money?”

“I remember that the middle-grade foundation-building alchemy furnace at the Wentianfang City auction was finally sold for 200 spirit stones. If the pill furnaces that were blown up just now were all foundation-building middle-grade alchemy furnaces, in such a short time, Three or four thousand spirit stones were all blown up?”

“At the end of the day, the furnace alone will have to explode tens of thousands of spirit stones, which is a bit outrageous.”

“No.”

The scholar looked out the window with a strange expression at the explosions that came from time to time: “I have also been to the alchemy sect, and I have never seen any alchemy sect explode the furnaces so frequently. How can this be alchemy? What is this? How about making fireworks?”

It took about a cup of tea.

An old man with white hair, his eyebrows and beard were obviously burnt, and his face was a little anxious and irritable. He strode into the tea room. After seeing Chen Yang and others, the irritability on his face subsided, but his voice was still a little irritable. Trembling.

“Excuse me, I am the third elder of the inner sect of the Star Dou Sect.”

“I made a few Taoist friends laugh. I just blew up the furnace and heard that the disciples reported that a distinguished guest was coming to the door, so I changed my clothes and hurried over.”

“I just heard a brief comment from a disciple that several distinguished guests need the “Spirit Replenishing Pill” to repair the damage to their spiritual consciousness. I wonder if you can tell me the cultivation level of the people who take this pill? I like to prescribe the right medicine according to my cultivation level. Different levels of cultivation can tolerate different potency of medicine. “

“The peak level of foundation building.”

Chen Yuan, who had been suffering from pain for a long time, said softly with a slightly tired voice: “I took it, but had an accident, and my consciousness was damaged, so I came to your sect to ask for the elixir.”

“you?”

A trace of doubt flashed in the old man’s eyes, and he subconsciously said: “Nonsense, why is the spiritual consciousness damaged at the peak level of foundation building?”

In most cases, the damage to the consciousness is due to the unfortunate damage to the consciousness during the battle with the golden elixir. However, the sea of ​​consciousness of the foundation-building monks is in a state of chaos and is completely defenseless, so it is impossible to be damaged. , once attacked by divine consciousness, there is only one way to be completely destroyed.

There is no chance of damage.

“etc–“

At this moment, the old man looked Chen Yuan up and down, and suddenly took out a portrait from his arms. He looked at the portrait and then at the old man. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: “Are you Chen Yuan, who has become famous recently?”

“The most powerful magic cultivator in Daxia, Chen Yang?”

“Aren’t you in the boundless ice field? Why did you suddenly come to the boundless desert?”

Then he suddenly realized it, and his voice couldn’t help but be mixed with a hint of admiration: “It would be understandable if it was Chen Yang. I heard that you once jumped over the rank and killed the golden elixir power. I guess the damage to your consciousness was left at that time, right? “

“No wonder you, who was born in Fufeng City, went to the Boundless Icefield. Nanzhou has the most alchemy cultivating sects. You must have gone there to ask for alchemy. It seems like you returned without success.”

“But unfortunately, there is nothing the Star Dou Sect can do.”

“The Spirit-Building Pill is a low-grade Golden Pill that is specially designed to repair damage to the Golden Pill’s spiritual consciousness. No matter how weak the medicine is, it is not something that a Foundation-Building Monk’s Sea of ​​Spiritual Consciousness can withstand. Not only is it unable to have the effect Repair the damage to the consciousness and even aggravate the damage.”

“Foundation-building monks can’t take the God-Building Pill at all.”

“.”

After Chen Yuan frowned and was silent for a long time, he tentatively said again with some reluctance: “Is there no possibility at all?”

“No.”

The third elder of the inner sect shook his head regretfully: “If you had said it a few months earlier, there might have been some solutions, but in recent months there have been some accidents within the sect, and it seems that this accident cannot be solved in a short time. “

“What accident?”

Chen Yuan asked.

Whenever there is a chance, he is unwilling to give up. Damage to the Sea of ​​Divine Consciousness means that it will be difficult for him to form a tenth-grade golden elixir. It will not affect it after repairing it, but 90% of your Sea of ​​Divine Consciousness will be destroyed. Now, you still want to get a tenth-grade golden elixir. This is not a dream.

“this”

After hesitating for a moment, the old man hesitated to speak. After a while, he said: “You wait here for a while, I will ask the great elder for instructions.”

“good.”

Soon the old man followed behind an older man who looked older. This old man’s hair and beard were dark green and looked like the color of laba garlic. However, like the third elder behind him, his beard and eyebrows were both dark green. It was burnt, and it was obvious that the furnace had just exploded.

“This is the great elder of our Star Dou Sect.”

Immediately after the Great Elder sat down, he looked at Chen Yuan with a serious face and said word by word: “Fellow Daoist Chen, what I’m going to tell you next are the core secrets of the Star Dou Sect. I hope that if Daoyou Chen knows about it, he can help you.” Even if you are busy, try not to spread the word.”

“I have only told you this news, Fellow Daoist Chen.”

“And the God-Building Pill you requested, Fellow Daoist Chen, is also closely related to this matter.”

“good.”

Chen Yang nodded seriously and listened patiently to what was going on.

“well.”

After the great elder sighed, he slowly said: “Since ancient times, basically most alchemy cultivating sects have been in Nanzhou, which has more spiritual energy than Beizhou, so it is naturally suitable for alchemy cultivating sects.”

“But the reason why Xing Dou Sect established the sect in the northernmost part of Xuzhou near the boundless desert.”

“It’s because hundreds of years ago, the founder discovered that there was an “earth fire” flowing like an underground river under the Boundless Desert. The constantly flowing underground fire made the Boundless Desert extremely hot even in winter. “

“The earth fire is extremely docile. It took the Patriarch decades to lead a wisp of earth fire to the foot of this mountain. Using this wisp of earth fire, the elixir refined by our sect’s disciples has a very high rate of success, and Very low cost.”

“Especially since the earth fire is extremely mild, we can control its temperature at will, thereby refining some elixirs that other sects cannot refine.”

“For example, the “God Replenishing Pill” you asked for, Fellow Daoist Chen, is required for peak cultivation levels to be taken. No sect in the entire Great Xia can refine it. Only our Star Dou Sect can refine it with the help of Earth Fire. . “

“But a few months ago, for some unknown reason, the Earth Fire suddenly became extremely violent and was unable to refine elixirs at all. We tried countless times but were unable to use Earth Fire to refine elixirs. Instead, the Earth Fire became more and more violent. We were all prepared to gave up.”

The great elder of the Star Dou Sect suddenly looked at Chen Yuan with a serious face and said sincerely: “But I didn’t expect you, Daoyou Chen, to suddenly come to visit you. You are currently the strongest Dharma cultivator in Daxia. If only one person can solve this earth fire problem. , then this person must be you.”

“As long as we can help Xing Dou Sect solve this earth fire problem.”

“Not only can we refine the God-Building Pill for Fellow Daoist Chen for free, but we will also give him a large reward, and Fellow Daoist Chen will gain the long-term friendship of the Star Dou Sect.”

“I?”

Chen Yang frowned and said, “It doesn’t sound like something I can solve.”

“you can.”

The Great Elder of the Star Dou Sect looked at Chen Yuan with trust and said seriously: “We have all watched your battle on the boundless ice field. If you want to go deep into the depths of the earth’s fire to see what happened, you must turn on your body protection at all times. Reiki.”

“But the fire is too deep.”

“We have even invited the Supreme Elder who is at the peak of the Golden Core cultivation level and is also the founder of this sect. However, even with the cultivation level of the ancestor, he will not be able to reach the depths of the earth fire before half of his spiritual energy is exhausted.”

“It’s even more impossible to tell what happened beneath the ground fire.”

“Even because of this, the ancestor was injured a little, which shortened his already short life.”

“Fellow Daoist Chen, the spiritual energy contained in your body, according to the picture of the photo stone viewed by the sect leader, is believed to be even greater than that of the ancestor. If you, Daoyou Chen, are willing to help us, we may be able to find out the reason why the earth fire is so violent, and we can find a way to prescribe the right medicine. ”

“.”

After Chen Yuan was silent for a moment, he said softly: “Take me to have a look.”

“good.”

Under the leadership of the great elder, Chen Yuan and his party went all the way to the back mountain of Xing Dou Sect. There was a well in the center of the room protected by the formation.

A large amount of substantial flowing flames continued to pour out of the well, and those flames flowed to every corner of the Star Dou Sect along the trenches dug in the ground.

The whole house was filled with scalding heat.

With the naked eye, one can see that the flame is filled with a violent aura, far from being gentle at all.

“It’s right here.”

The Great Elder said with a complex expression: “Although we really want to solve the problem of Earth Fire in Star Dou Sect, I must remind you, Fellow Daoist Chen, that there are more Earth Fires below and are deeper than you think.”

“Zhenren Jindan can leave a ray of spiritual consciousness at the mouth of the well, so that when the spiritual energy is almost exhausted, he can return along the original path of his spiritual consciousness.”

“But Fellow Daoist Chen, you are at the peak of your foundation building cultivation and cannot leave your body. Once you fall into the earthly fire below, you will instantly lose your sense of direction. There is a high possibility that you will not be able to come back until your spiritual energy is exhausted.”

The great elder did not say the next words.

But the meaning is obvious.

After the spiritual energy is exhausted, staying in this kind of spiritual fire that is obviously not ordinary fire and can corrode the spiritual energy will definitely not end well.

“I’ll go with you.”

The scholar looked at Chen Yuan.

“Um.”

Chen Yuan nodded. With the scholar here, he really didn’t have to worry about being unable to return. As long as he was not more than ten thousand miles away from the scholar’s brother, he could return to his brother instantly.

“No problem.”

Chen Yuan didn’t want to delay any longer. Since the situation was almost clear, there was no need to delay anymore. The spiritual energy surged out and involved Fei Long and the scholar, immediately stepping into the well of fire in front of them.

Although protecting two more people will consume more protective spiritual energy.

But to him, there’s not much difference.

He was not very relieved to leave Fei Long alone in the Star Dou Sect.

The three people disappeared immediately.

Just then——

A middle-aged man with a majestic face and a Chinese character strode into the room, glanced around the room and said solemnly: “Where is Fellow Daoist Chen?”

“metropolitan.”

The great elder looked at the entrance of the fire well with a complex expression: “They have already gone down.”

“Have you gone down already?”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: “Forget it, let’s give it a try, Fellow Daoist Chen. Since the name of Shu’s Shadow Man can be called the peerless Dharma Cultivator of Great Xia, he must have something special about him.”

“only.”

“Before I had time to tell him, the fire below had become more violent, and the loss of spiritual energy would be even more serious.”

“I hope you come back safely.”

“You go down and clean up first, and prepare to move to Nanzhou. The underground fire is getting more and more violent. In less than a month, it will spew out in large quantities. By then, the entire sect will be covered by the underground fire and it will be difficult to survive.”

“Already.” The first elder was stunned for a moment, and he looked at each other in disbelief with the third elder and said, “Has it reached the point where it is necessary to move the sect?”

“Um.”

After the middle-aged man was silent for a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: “The Grandmaster passed away just now. Please don’t spread the news. The Grandmaster had a short lifespan. He was injured in the earth fire and did not survive.”

At this time, Chen Yuan had already led Fei Long and the two of them deep into the depths of the earth fire.

At a glance——

The surroundings were filled with endless amounts of earthly fire, and those flames flowed like liquid, corroding his body-protecting spiritual energy all the time, even though the spiritual energy capacity in his body far exceeded that of monks of the same level.

But he couldn’t hold on for thirty breaths.

Earthly fire corrodes spiritual energy too much.

The entire underground seemed to be hollowed out, with nothing but underground fire. It was like a large underground sea of ​​​​fire composed of flowing flame liquid.

“Walk.”

Chen Yuan felt the heat wave seeping into his body around him without saying much. The spiritual energy poured into his arm armor, and countless sharp needlepoints penetrated his body. While recovering his spiritual energy, he continued to teleport many times in the sea of ​​​​earthfire.

He didn’t know if this was possible.

But now there is only one way to go. He doesn’t know what happened under the ground fire, which made the originally gentle ground fire become violent. He can only rely on constant teleportation to stretch the timeline long enough. , find outliers.

that’s all–

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yuan was still teleporting randomly in the depths of the sea of ​​fire without any thoughts, but he was not agitated. He looked around with a calm expression. After the two experiences on the Forbidden Sea, it had only been two hours, and he felt completely empty in his heart. Any waves.

“I never knew that there was a hollow under the boundless desert, and there were so many underground fires.”

The scholar felt the distance from his brother with a complex expression: “I can feel that my brother is getting further and further away from us, which means that we have been going deep into the Boundless Desert, but we are just under the Boundless Desert.”

“And it has already penetrated more than ten miles.”

“If nothing unexpected happens, there may be an entire sea of ​​fire flowing under the boundless desert, and the area of ​​this sea of ​​​​fire is many times larger than that of Xuzhou. No wonder the founder of the Star Dou Sect cannot detect the end of the sea of ​​​​fire.”

“The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here has been integrated with the fire of the earth. Absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here will make the body unbearably hot. Absorbing too much may even cause the meridians to spontaneously ignite. You can only use the spiritual energy in your own body here.”

“The spiritual energy stored in the body at the peak of Golden Core cultivation is not enough to explore this sea of ​​fire.”

Chen Yang glanced around. Until now, he hadn’t seen anything special. He only felt that the heat wave around him was getting hotter and hotter, and the speed of corroding his spiritual energy was also getting faster. This also meant that the temperature of the ground fire here was higher. .

Star Dou Sect.

Next to the fire well in the house, a hint of confusion flashed in the eyes of the leader of the Star Dou Sect who had been waiting beside the fire well. Two hours had passed, and Daoyou Chen still showed no tendency to return.

High probability. The body will die and the path will disappear.

The Patriarch only stayed in the earth fire for half an hour before returning. This was because he did not plan well. As a result, when he was about to return to the fire well, the spiritual energy in his body was exhausted and he could not absorb any points and merge with the earth fire. The aura of heaven and earth.

Causes damage to the meridians in the body.

As a result, it didn’t last long before he passed away early.

The old golden elixir at its peak cultivation level is like precious and fragile porcelain.

It breaks when touched.

When three hours passed again.

It’s already getting dark, and there are only two days left before the competition for the Tianjiao rankings.

At this time, Chen Yuan, who was deep in the ground fire, no longer knew how deep he had gone into the boundless desert. However, as the heat wave around him became stronger and stronger, he finally found the source of the violence of the ground fire.

In the deepest part of the underground sea of ​​fire.

An eight-petaled fire lotus like a lotus grows without roots and floats randomly in the sea of ​​fire. The eight petals seem to be breathing. The petals are constantly shaking up and down, and every shaking will cause the surrounding fire to become more violent.

This caused waves of heat to surge far into the depths of the sea of ​​fire.

The source of the irritability of the entire earth fire is this fire lotus that grows in the sea of ​​fire.

However–

Chen Yuan just stood there and observed for less than a breath. Before he could get closer, he had to teleport away from the place many times. He had to rely on teleportation to restore his spiritual energy, but this teleportation was far away from the eight-petaled fire lotus.

“.”

Chen Yuan turned his head and looked at the eight-petal fire lotus located dozens of feet behind him, assessed the amount of spiritual energy in his body, took out a large number of Qi-Building Pills from his arms and put them all into his mouth, and then did not activate the arm armor.

He immediately held up the sea of ​​fire with his body-protecting spiritual energy and rushed towards the eight-petaled fire lotus deep in the sea of ​​fire!

Then the spiritual energy surged out suddenly, rolled up the eight-petal fire lotus and stuffed it into the wooden box. However, the eight-petaled fire lotus was made of flames, and the wooden box was instantly burned to powder. He tried to stuff it into the storage ring, and the storage ring The material ring was also burned to powder in an instant.

He hesitated for a moment.

Thrown directly into the small world, it is safe this time.

This eight-petal fire lotus floated in the sky above the small world, allowing the originally dark little world to see the sun for the first time. The dazzling light shone on the ruins of the Xiaotian Sect in the small world, and at the same time, a heat wave like a scorching summer swept across the entire small world. world.

After the eight-petal fire lotus was brought into the small world, the surrounding earth fire that had been surging violently suddenly began to slowly calm down, and the violent atmosphere gradually dissipated.

Seeing that the spiritual energy in the body is about to be exhausted.

Chen Yuan directly led Feilong and the others into the small world.

“call!”

In the small world, Feilong was shirtless and sweating profusely. He waved the paper fan in his hand vigorously and looked up at the eight-petaled fire lotus that acted as a little sun above his head. His face was faintly excited: “Brother Yang, let me tell you, this thing He must be a big baby!”

“I have never seen this kind of flower that grows in the sea of ​​fire without roots, and its entire body is composed of flames.”

“Such a huge underground sea of ​​fire started to rage because of this thing. This thing must not be underestimated. Scholar, do you know what kind of treasure this is?”

“have no idea.”

The scholar looked helpless and shook his head: “You overestimate me. Even at the peak of my cultivation, this underground sea of ​​​​fire is not a place I can come to, and this thing is not something I am qualified to touch.”

Chen Hong felt that the temperature was not bad. The three golden elixir vengeful spirits on his back cooled him down quite a bit, but he did not feel very hot. And he looked at the eight-petaled plant suspended in mid-air. Huolian was also quite emotional.

This is the disadvantage of casual cultivation.

After finally meeting a treasure, I didn’t even know what this thing was for, but when I thought that even the big sects in Daxia probably didn’t know what this thing was for, I felt a lot more balanced.

It’s just that he can’t just let this thing float in the air all the time. He has a headache for a while, how to know what this thing is for. He can be sure that this eight-petal fire lotus must be the top heaven and earth spiritual treasure.

It’s just that he doesn’t know how to use it. It would be great if he had the chance to meet Old Man Cao, maybe he would know.
