Chapter 69: Capture Zi Ling! Cultivation Breakthrough!
On the way from Lingyuan Water Pavilion to Binghuo Road, there is a mountain forest with rich spiritual energy.
Many magical herbs and fruits are grown in this place.
Any cultivator who has passed the first level can pick any spiritual herbs here as a reward for passing the level.
The Nine-Bend Spiritual Ginseng that Han Li needs is right here.
Zi Ling's purpose of coming to Xutian Palace was to pick the herbs she wanted and take them back to make pills.
However, these things are not of much use to Zhu Chen.
Most of the spiritual herbs and fruits here are leftovers left by those people in Xinggong.
Only a very small number of immortal herbs, flowers and fruits that have awakened their spiritual intelligence can barely make it.
But those things are too hard to catch.
The price/performance ratio is not high.
Zhu Chen did not plan to stay here, and directly took Zi Ling to the entrance of the Ice and Fire Road.
Of course, if he saw some valuable spiritual herbs on the road, he would pick them and give them to Zi Ling.
However, his casual behavior inadvertently touched Zi Ling.
Looking at the 'cheap Taoist partner' who was accompanying her to pick spiritual herbs all the way, Zi Ling couldn't help but feel a little warm in her heart.
Her parents died when she was young. Although she was the leader of Miaoyin Sect, the Miaoyin Sect had long been taken over by Xinggong.
In the eyes of outsiders, she is just a dog of Xinggong.
He can only survive under the protection of the Star Palace.
From childhood to adulthood, everything she has is something she has fought for through her own efforts and put in a lot of hard work.
Today was the first time someone was willing to give her these spiritual herbs and fruits for free.
This was a feeling she had never experienced before.
After running around for half a day.
Zhu Chen finally brought Zi Ling to the end of this mountain forest.
This is a chaotic mess of building ruins.
The Ice and Fire Road in the second level of Xutian Palace is located in the deepest part of the ruins.
"I'm going to the lava path to absorb the fire energy and practice. You'd better follow me..."
As Zhu Chen walked towards the depths of the ruins, he gave instructions to Zi Ling beside him.
"Um."
Zi Ling nodded obediently without saying anything more.
Wu Chou had just chased into the Xutian Palace, and maybe Ji Yin and others had followed in as well.
If she didn't stay with Zhu Chen, she would be dead if she met those people.
After all, other people don't know that she has now become a Taoist couple with this "Senior" Zhu Chen.
As they were talking, the two had already reached the end of the ruins.
There are two entrances here.
The other one is heading to the Ice Road.
Both passages lead to the third level of Xutian Palace.
Zhu Chen did not hesitate and decisively chose the lava path.
…
After entering the lava tunnel, what appeared before Zhu Chen and the others was a sea of lava. Magma was overflowing everywhere, and even the air they breathed was filled with the breath of scorching flames.
"Ahem~"
Zi Ling's cultivation had not yet reached the Jindan stage, and she couldn't bear it after coming here.
Zhu Chen waved his hand and created a fire shield to protect her, which made her feel better.
Afterwards, Zhu Chen found a place nearby where the flames were the most intense, sat cross-legged, and manifested the six divine ring caves behind him. He began to use the power of the caves to madly absorb the fire aura of the place.
The flames here are filled with a fire poison, which is extremely deadly. Even those cultivators who specialize in practicing fire-attributed techniques cannot directly refine and absorb it.
But Zhu Chen is different, the blood of the ancient Vermillion Bird flows in his body.
The Vermilion Bird was born from fire, and any flame can be absorbed and refined by the Vermilion Bird, naturally including the flames here!
As Zhu Chen's six caves opened simultaneously, the surrounding flames instantly gathered towards him like a tide.
Although the spiritual energy required to open up the Shenhuan Cave Heaven is more than that of an ordinary cave heaven, the effect of the Shenhuan Cave Heaven is not comparable to that of an ordinary cave heaven.
Zhu Chen manifested the six caves at the same time at this moment. The speed at which they absorbed the flames was many times faster than that of ordinary caves.
"Formation!"
Seeing Zhu Chen start to practice, Zi Ling hurriedly took out several formation flags from her collection and inserted them around Zhu Chen, forming a protective magic circle beside him.
Then she sat down quietly nearby and began to protect Zhu Chen.
Time passes by minute by minute.
As Zhu Chen continued to absorb the flames in the lava channel, the temperature here began to drop little by little.
A day later, a huge fire cloud appeared above Zhu Chen's head.
The fire cloud gradually gathered around him, and finally formed a vortex that covered the sky and the sun.
Wait until the third day.
The flames that filled the lava channel have all gathered on Zhu Chen's side.
Zi Ling, who was guarding nearby, was stunned.
This was the first time in her life that she had seen one person mobilize all the spiritual energy in a space.
So shocking!
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have found it hard to believe that such a thing could happen.
"Open the Seventh Cave for me!"
At this moment, Zhu Chen suddenly opened his eyes, swung his hands quickly, and made several seals in front of him.
The next moment.
The vortex of fire cloud hovering in the sky suddenly began to spin rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into an astonishingly powerful fire cloud tornado, which directly penetrated into Zhu Chen's body.
Zhu Chen's body began to emit a dazzling divine light.
At the same time, a divine ring cave heaven flashing with blood light also floated out from between his eyebrows.
This divine ring cave seemed a little illusory and unreal at first.
But as the vortex of fire cloud in the sky completely sank into Zhu Chen's body.
This cave also quickly became solid.
Zhu Chen finally succeeded in opening up the seventh divine ring cave.
However...
Just when the seventh cave was opened up, Zhu Chen's expression suddenly changed.
Because he discovered that there was still some fire poison in his body that had not been refined.
"Could it be that I've been absorbing the flames too quickly these past few days, causing a large amount of fire poison to accumulate in my body, which is why some of it remains?"
"In that case, let's refine it again..."
After figuring out what was going on, Zhu Chen once again mobilized the Vermillion Bird Divine Fire in his body and began to refine the fire poison.
However, it would not matter if he did not practice, but something went wrong as soon as he did.
Because the fire poison accumulated in his body at this moment is not ordinary fire poison at all.
It was because he had absorbed the flames too quickly before, and the impurities remaining in the flames were accumulated in one place, resonating with the Suzaku Divine Fire in his body, and actually evolved into a kind of evil fire.
This wisp of evil fire has now merged with his Vermillion Bird Divine Fire, but it cannot be assimilated by the Vermillion Bird Divine Fire.
The two flames repelled each other in his body, causing his body to begin to show strange symptoms.
His eyes gradually became bloodshot and his body began to become hot, as if a terrible fire beast wanted to tear his body apart and break out of him.
This feeling...
"Senior...what's wrong with you?"
When Zi Ling saw that something was wrong with Zhu Chen, she immediately ran over worriedly.
However, just as she came to Zhu Chen's side, Zhu Chen with red eyes pulled her over.
