Chapter 125: Twin Flames and Woods, Perfect Qi Refining
After walking for a few miles in the direction indicated by Ling Xiaobai, Chu Ning came to the foot of a mountain.
After feeling it carefully, Chu Ning asked Ling Xiaobai in a strange way:
"Xiaobai, the spiritual energy here is indeed more concentrated, but it is not too concentrated, right?"
"Underground!"
After Ling Xiaobai transmitted his spiritual consciousness, he directly came out of Chu Ning's sleeve.
Then he walked forward on the ground and led Chu Ning.
Chu Ning followed the other party and first climbed to the middle of the mountain and went around to the other side, then turned and walked down along the not very steep stone wall.
Entered a valley blocked by this mountain.
As soon as he entered the valley, Chu Ning felt the concentration of spiritual energy that was completely different from the outside.
"It turns out that there is a different world between these mountains."
Chu Ning looked up and saw that there were tall peaks all around this place.
If he could fly normally, he could find this place from above.
But now that everyone can only walk, naturally no one will go to the top of the mountain to check such a place.
"Ying!"
At this time, Ling Xiaobai urged.
Chu Ning also followed the little guy and continued to move forward, and actually got into the belly of another mountain.
After walking a short distance, Chu Ning felt that the temperature around him was obviously rising.
And the further he walked, the hotter he felt.
Fortunately, this heat was not unbearable. Chu Ning just ran the Qingmu Changchun Gong once, and immediately felt refreshed all over.
At this time, a man and a beast finally came to a cave.
Black sand, green trees, red fruits, three colors intertwined and appeared in front of Chu Ning.
In this small cave, there was actually a large area of spiritual plants, as many as dozens of them.
Some of these spiritual plants looked a bit like the cactus in Chu Ning's memory, but they were more than one person tall and grew on a piece of black sand.
There were five or six spiritual seeds hanging on each plant.
The spiritual fruit was all fiery red, as big as a goose egg.
"Is this... the Flame Wood Twin Fruit?"
Looking at these spiritual fruits, Chu Ning was a little unsure.
He vaguely remembered that he had seen this kind of spiritual fruit in a jade slip before, but the jade slip mentioned that this fruit was almost extinct in some nearby Xiuxian Mountains.
So Chu Ning didn't pay full attention at the time, and he couldn't be very sure at the moment.
Chu Ning walked forward slowly and observed it carefully.
"It's really the Flame Wood Twin Fruit!"
Chu Ning whispered softly, with a hint of surprise in his tone.
It is rumored that the Flame Wood Twin Fruit can only grow in places with extremely rich wood and fire spiritual energy.
It contains extremely pure wood and fire spiritual energy.
What's more rare is that the two spiritual energies are extremely balanced.
Whether it is taken directly or used to refine pills, it is an excellent medicinal material.
However, ordinary cultivators cannot take it if they are not practicing the wood and fire dual attribute exercises.
If the elixir cannot absorb two attributes of spiritual energy at the same time, it will be disturbed by the rich spiritual energy of another attribute, which can easily cause the mana to go out of control.
However, this elixir is a treasure for cultivators with wood and fire spiritual roots.
Wood produces fire, and these two attributes are also mutually beneficial. Disciples with wood and fire spiritual roots often practice this kind of exercises.
If you can take this kind of spiritual fruit, or the elixir made from this kind of spiritual fruit, your practice will be greatly improved.
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Chu Ning took out the jade box in his hand.
Although this kind of spiritual fruit is useless for him who only practices wood attribute exercises, how can he return empty-handed after entering the treasure mountain.
More than 30 Yanmu twin fruits were picked by Chu Ning. At this moment, Chu Ning's eyes fell on the seedlings next to several Yanmu twin fruit trees.
I don't know if these seedlings grew after the spiritual fruits fell, but there are actually about 30 or 40 of them.
"Although the Flame Wood Twin Fruit has high requirements for absorbing the dual-attribute spiritual energy of wood and fire, there may be suitable places outside.
Take it out by yourself. Even if you can't plant it, the value should be high."
Thinking so, Chu Ning simply squatted down and prepared to dig up all the seedlings on the ground.
However, just as he squatted down, his face suddenly changed.
The next moment, Chu Ning had straightened up, and at the same time, he used the Thunder Step and dodged to the side.
Almost at the same time, under the black sand, two dark claws emerged and clamped past the place where Chu Ning had just stood.
Immediately afterwards, a red-colored crab monster with two heads but a colorful belly emerged from the black sand.
It jumped up and pounced on Chu Ning.
"Red Fire Two-Headed Scorpion?"
Chu Ning almost subconsciously held his breath, and then took out the intermediate magic weapon Qingguangzhu from the storage bag as soon as possible.
The next moment, a stream of red mist spurted out of the mouth of one of the heads of the red fire two-headed scorpion.
However, when the red mist drifted in front of Chu Ning, it was immediately isolated by an invisible air shield.
Chu Ning used the Thunder Step to dodge again, and quickly took out several Qingfeng Talismans and Beast Trapping Talismans from the storage bag.
As the Qingfeng Talisman was activated, the red mist dissipated instantly.
At the same time, another Beast Trapping Talisman in Chu Ning's hand was also activated.
A white spiritual power restraint fell on the body of the red fire two-headed scorpion.
But in just a moment, the fire scorpion broke free.
At the same time, the fire scorpion's body suddenly grew in size, becoming as big as a calf.
It happened to block the entrance of the hole.
Chu Ning fired several more Cangmu Sword Techniques, but these wood-attribute spells had little effect on the Red Fire Double-Headed Scorpion.
As for the talisman in Chu Ning's hand, the primary and high-grade red flame talisman must be even more ineffective against monsters with fire attributes.
"noob!"
Chu Ning called out.
Ling Xiaobai, who had been watching the excitement before, suddenly opened his mouth and sprayed an ice attribute pillar towards the red fire double-headed scorpion.
However, the red-fire two-headed scorpion was very flexible in the air. It swooped forward and escaped the spell attack.
Seeing the red-fire two-headed scorpion rushing toward him, Chu Ning continued to hold his breath. At the same time, he dodged and avoided the opponent's pincers again.
At the same time, I was cursing secretly in my heart.
"Is this a first-order high-level monster?"
Judging from the aura of this monster, it is indeed a first-level high-level monster.
But looking at the monster's defense and intelligence, Chu Ning would never believe that this monster was only a first-level high-level monster.
At the same time as the figure flashed, Chu Ning had a Ge-shaped magic weapon in his hand.
It was the high-level water attribute attack magic weapon obtained from the disciple of Chuan Gong Hall.
Looking at the red-fire two-headed scorpion that rushed towards it again, Chu Ning raised Dan Ge's right hand to inject mana, stretched out his hand and poked forward.
Suddenly, a water spell condensed from the short arm.
Then the moment the fire scorpion collided, it hit the monster.
Suddenly, the red fire double-headed scorpion gained a layer of white light, and its red color became a little weaker.
"Hey!"
At this moment, Ling Xiaobai, who had lost his "mouth" in a previous blow, also let out an angry cry.
He opened his mouth and spit out another stream of white light.
Because the scorpion was hit by Chu Ning's water magic weapon, it didn't jump up for a while.
The white light accurately fell on the red fire two-headed scorpion, and suddenly, a layer of ice appeared on the outside of the entire scorpion.
Ling Xiaobai's spell directly froze the red fire two-headed scorpion.
But at this moment, the red fire scorpion was surging with red light, and it looked like it was about to break through the ice.
When Chu Ning saw this, he frowned.
Just as he reached out to take out an intermediate water-attributed talisman from his storage bag, his thoughts changed, but he stopped again.
"I still don't know how long I will stay in this spiritual realm and what dangers I will encounter. I can still save a little bit of the high-level talismans on my body.
To deal with such a monster, using an intermediate talisman would be a bit too extravagant. "
Instead of taking out the talisman, Chu Ning had a dark shield in his hand.
I always thought that I might have developed some new attack method, but Chu Ning didn't have the chance to try it. Today I can give it a try.
"Xiao Bai, stop it, let me do it!"
Chu Ning stopped Ling Xiaobai who continued to spray out ice spells.
Then he took a thunderous step and rushed forward.
The red fire double-headed scorpion happened to break through Ling Xiaobai's freezing spell at this moment. When he saw Chu Ning, he rushed towards him, and two black and slightly purple pincers immediately pinched him.
"Click!"
The two pliers did not hit Chu Ning, but they hit Chu Ning's dark shield.
The next moment, the red-fire two-headed scorpion flew directly from the place and hit the rock heavily.
This heavy blow seemed to have knocked the red fire two-headed scorpion into confusion.
He turned over on the ground and did not get up.
Seeing this, Chu Ning rushed over again with a thunder step while holding a shield.
The red-fire two-headed scorpion also discovered Chu Ning. When Chu Ning came to him, the scorpion's tail swept towards Chu Ning.
"Click!"
Almost exactly the same as the previous scene, the scorpion tail hit the dark shield hard.
And the red fire two-headed scorpion flew up again and hit the rock hard.
"Hey!"
Seeing Chu Ning's slightly violent attack, Ling Xiaobai who was watching the battle was a little shocked.
Then, the red-fire two-headed scorpion was knocked away by Chu Ning again and again with his shield.
After five times, the red fire double-headed scorpion was unable to move at all.
Then Chu Ning smashed the shield on the ground again and again.
After a while, the scorpion was completely unable to move.
Although the red fire double-headed scorpion's shell is still intact at this moment, there is a faint wisp of red venom flowing out of one of its mouths.
Apparently, Chu Ning's internal organs had been completely damaged by the continuous impact.
"Hey!"
It was only at this moment that Ling Xiaobai came over and looked at Chu Ning.
"Let you little guy save some spiritual power."
Chu Ning smiled.
Of course, he also had the idea of trying his hand with this red fire two-headed scorpion.
Before this, he mainly used the Thunder Step and Tiangang Fist when attacking with the Jiuyan Body Refining Technique.
Chu Ning also wanted to see how effective his ordinary physical attacks were, apart from this secret technique.
Now it seems that as long as there is a suitable weapon, the power is also very good.
This red fire two-headed scorpion has such a strong defense that it can be smashed to death by myself. Of course, this trick can also be used against other opponents.
After picking up the dark magic weapon in her hand and looking at it, it seemed that it was not damaged, Chu Ning took it back into the storage bag.
Then he took out the black knife that he had kept as a treasure after he got it from the storage bag, and slashed the pair of pincers and the scorpion tail of the red fire double-headed scorpion.
The two most valuable parts of the monster were put into the storage bag.
Chu Ning used his spiritual sense to sense the black sand again. After confirming that there were no other monsters, he came into it and dug out the seedlings of the twin fruits of the flame wood.
Then he carefully packed them in a jade box and put them into the storage bag.
"Ying!"
At this time, Ling Xiaobai called out to Chu Ning again.
"Go in?"
Hearing Ling Xiaobai's call, Chu Ning looked at a dark cave in front of him that continued to go down, and hesitated a little.
But after thinking about it, he continued to walk into the cave.
Since there is a first-level high-level monster red fire double-headed scorpion in this cave, there should be no other monsters.
The spiritual energy in this cave is so dense that it can support the growth of the twin fruits of the flame wood.
However, Ling Xiaobai said that the spiritual energy inside is even denser, which makes Chu Ning a little curious.
Of course, Chu Ning did not dare to be careless. He released his spiritual sense to sense it first.
Then he released the puppet bird to fly in first.
What Chu Ning felt sorry for was that the passage at the entrance of the cave extended diagonally downward, and it was more than 100 feet away.
Even this puppet bird could not reach the end.
After hesitating for a while, Chu Ning let the puppet brain continue to explore the way ahead, and then walked slowly down along the passage.
After walking about 50 feet, the scene detected by the puppet bird on Chu Ning's magic mirror changed slightly.
The lens of this passage turned out to be a cave of only five feet in size.
The next moment, what made Chu Ning open his mouth wide was.
In this cave, pieces of fiery red crystals of different sizes were scattered everywhere in a disorderly manner, and there were dozens of them.
"Could this be a fire spirit crystal?"
Looking at the scene on the magic mirror, Chu Ning was full of surprise.
Not in a hurry to move forward, he let the puppet bird fly around in the small cave. After confirming that there were no other creatures and abnormalities, Chu Ning continued to walk down along the passage.
Then he walked all the way to the entrance of the small cave.
Chu Ning released his spiritual sense again at this moment, scanned it once again, and confirmed again that there was no danger, and then he really stepped into the cave.
"Such a rich fire attribute aura!"
As soon as he entered the cave, Chu Ning couldn't help but sigh.
Just now, the puppet bird could only provide vision, but now, when Chu Ning himself was in the cave, he felt different.
Even if he was only practicing the wood attribute technique, Chu Ning could still feel this rich fire attribute aura.
"Ying!"
Ling Xiaobai called out at this moment.
For him, who is an ice element, being in such a place with such a rich fire attribute is undoubtedly a bit uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Chu Ning simply put Ling Xiaobai into the spirit beast bag.
Then, he slowly walked to the side of the fiery red crystals he had seen before.
After squatting down and taking a look, Chu Ning uttered a pleasant murmur.
"It's really a fire spirit crystal."
He had dug earth spirit crystals before, so he could recognize it at a glance.
Thinking that there were dozens of fire spirit crystals in it, he took out tools from the storage bag without hesitation and started digging.
He already had a very good idea of the value of spirit crystals, so he naturally knew how much wealth this was.
These fire spirit crystals were of different sizes, the small ones were only the size of a fist.
The large ones were twice as big as the earth spirit crystal that Chu Ning had obtained before.
Chu Ning carefully dug them piece by piece.
...
While Chu Ning was digging for fire spirit crystals, outside the big cave where Chu Ning had killed the red fire two-headed scorpion before.
A handsome young man slowly appeared.
The man held a map in his hand and looked up at the cave. A hint of expectation appeared on his slightly arrogant face.
Then he walked quickly into the cave, and when his eyes touched the situation in the cave, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"How could this happen? Where are the Yanmu Twin Fruits?"
The handsome young man's eyes immediately fell on the red fire two-headed scorpion lying on the ground, and various expressions such as astonishment and anger flashed across his face.
"The Yanmu Twin Fruits were picked by someone in advance?
I spent so much money to get the news, and took so much effort to leave the position and come here, just for the Yanmu Twin Fruits.
Now, someone picked them first?"
The handsome young man's face was twisted and full of anger.
According to the requirements of the sect, he should have gone out when the ban was opened a few months ago.
But he hid it from everyone and did not go out with them.
The main reason was that the handsome young man learned from a junior brother that there were twin fruits of fire and wood in the place where he was teleported.
He didn't go in just because he saw a first-level high-level monster.
He spent a lot of means and costs to get information from the other party, and even disobeyed the order of the sect, just for the twin fruits of wood and fire.
At this time, the spiritual fruit he wanted so much was taken by someone else, how could he not be angry.
The young man quickly came to the front of the red fire scorpion, took a quick look, and his face became even uglier.
"This monster just died not long ago, and I just came in from outside, so..."
The handsome young man took a look, and his eyes immediately stopped at the dark cave entrance.
With his eyes flashing, he rushed directly to the cave entrance and was about to step into the cave.
But he stopped after just a slight lift of his foot, and retreated to the outside of the big cave instead of advancing.
Then, he hid his body in the gap between two rocks.
And his eyes looking at the big cave were flashing with coldness.
Chu Ning, who was in the small cave at the bottom of the mountain at this moment, naturally didn't know that someone was coming from the outside.
The distance of this cave, including the slope, was more than 200 feet, far beyond the range of his spiritual sense.
Chu Ning carefully dug up each piece of fire spirit crystal and put it into the storage bag.
He even used his spiritual sense to carefully explore it again, and did not even miss the nearby underground.
After making sure that he had not missed a piece, Chu Ning put everything away.
Then he left the puppet bird in front to explore the way, and the people walked along the slope towards the outside of the cave.
