Chapter 103 Which old man launched the sneak attack?
The land of crimson flames.
"It's been three or four days already, why haven't you made any moves yet?" Wu Tianyu was very anxious.
Yuan Shuo over there has already forged two spiritual artifacts, while his Gu worms haven't even given birth to any offspring yet.
"Brother, don't be in such a hurry. Even if the mother insect successfully gets pregnant, it will still need time."
Wu Tianya took a different path; she was drawing upon the earth fire to refine her body.
People from the Western Regions are skilled in using Gu poisons and can even control cultivators with higher cultivation levels using Gu worms, but their own power is too weak.
If those people managed to get past the Gu worms and reach her, she would have no way to defend herself.
Therefore, Wu Tianya thought about body refinement, since earth fire is actually the best fire for body refinement.
Wu Tianya didn't actually have any physical training techniques, but she had read many miscellaneous books in her early years and actually figured out some methods.
He slowly drew in the earth's fire and swirled it around himself.
"Sister, I'm anxious too! I've collected hundreds of pairs, and there's still no result." Wu Tianyu sighed.
Most importantly, how could he possibly lose to Yuan Shuo?
"Why don't you try using earth fire to temper your body too?" Wu Tianya suggested.
"No, these Gu worms can change at any time, I can't leave."
Wu Tianyu shook his head.
He still has many brilliant ideas that he hasn't put into practice yet.
So the boy continued to bury his head and work hard.
Wu Tianya didn't insist, after all, her younger brother was more suitable for researching Gu worms, and she would protect him in the future.
Just as she was about to continue drawing out the earth fire, she suddenly felt another person fall from above.
This person looked somewhat familiar; his long hair was tied up and adorned with two red-gold hairpins.
"You are... Senior Sister Yun Li?" Wu Tianya was very wary after recognizing the person.
If she hadn't heard Lan Yue's inner thoughts before, she might have thought that Lan Yue was a kind and gentle senior sister.
"Junior sister, and two junior brothers, what a coincidence, you're all here too." Yun Li smiled, somewhat surprised.
Her gaze swept over the large piece of ancient jade, and she was clearly stunned. It took her a while to calm herself down and quietly turn her eyes back.
Yun Li waited for the other two to greet her, but after waiting for a long time, neither of them made a sound.
Yuan Shuo kept working on it without stopping.
Wu Tianyu was muttering something to himself.
Yun Li: "..."
Are these guys all blind?
"Junior brothers and sisters, are you using the earth fire to refine weapons and bodies?" Yun Li slowly walked over.
"It's no use. There's an unknown amount of earth fire in this pool. No matter how much you extract, it's just a drop in the ocean and you won't be able to enter the true inheritance ground."
Wu Tianyu and Yuan Shuo remained silent, while Wu Tianya looked over thoughtfully, unsure of what the other was up to.
"If we join forces, we can extract all this subterranean fire; only then will we have any hope," Yun Li suggested.
"Earth Fire is a spiritual fire of heaven and earth, and it cannot be stored." Wu Tianya on the other side shook her head, knowing that she had only extracted a small portion.
But the spiritual fire of heaven and earth is not so easy to store. If it is not handled properly, the spiritual artifact used for storage, as well as the entire spatial ring, may be burned to ashes.
"I have a way."
Yun Li moved his right hand slightly, and a fire spirit orb appeared in his palm.
The Fire Spirit Orb is entirely crimson red, with a hint of black.
This is the mark of the Ten Thousand Year Fire Spirit Orb. Fire Spirit Orbs like this are spiritual objects of the same level as Earth Fire.
"The Ten Thousand Year Fire Spirit Pearl can store these earth fires. As long as the earth fires are moved out, a passage can be opened to enter the true inheritance land."
Yun Li spoke in a gentle tone.
"We are all disciples of the Southern Spirit Sect, and naturally we want everyone to receive the inheritance."
"Even if the Ten Thousand Year Fire Spirit Orb is destroyed because of this, I will accept it."
"Go by yourself. We're not strong enough to get involved," Wu Tianyu said without turning his head.
Yuan Shuo didn't say a word, and continued making clanging noises.
Wu Tianya smiled and shook her head.
Yun Li: "???"
She's already brought out something so precious, yet those people aren't interested in the inheritance. Are they not even interested in the Fire Spirit Orb in her possession?
Don't you want to take advantage of your weakness to steal the treasure?
Seeing that these people were unmoved, Yun Li ignored them and walked directly into the Earth Fire Pool with the Fire Spirit Orb.
"Can't she just pass through the fire pool? Then why did she come looking for us?" Wu Tianyu scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.
Wu Tianya shook her head; she had a bad feeling about it.
In a corner of the cave, a small, fiery red ball of fur opened its eyes.
"Young Master, the earth fire is decreasing; that fellow is trying to steal your rations!"
The pink snake gritted its teeth.
"I'm going to meet her right now!"
Gu Zhuo's expression was serious, because he couldn't tell the human's cultivation level at all.
"I'm going into the fire pool. You two stay outside and keep an eye on things."
The fiery red ball of fur darted swiftly into the pool of flames.
…
Beside the enormous alchemy furnace, the white ghost murmured to itself once more.
"No, this method is wrong, it failed again, it failed again."
"Why does it always fail? Which step is going wrong?"
"Why won't you let me create the real Nine-Turn Crimson Sun Pill?"
At this moment, a crimson pill flew over from the small pill furnace next to the huge pill furnace.
Although this pill was small in size, it was like the rising sun, illuminating the entire alchemy room with exceptional brightness.
A scorching heat emanated from around the pill, with rings of pill patterns flowing around it.
The white ghost's eyes widened, and it suddenly flew over.
"Yes, that's right, that's how the Nine-Turn Crimson Sun Pill works!"
"Why did you manage to refine it?" The white ghost's voice was shrill from excitement.
Yunxi was a little confused. She thought that the white ghost refining pills was a fixed scene for people to learn from.
I never expected it to be a real ghost.
But she didn't actually know; she just put the ingredients in by feel.
"Tell me the key points quickly! If you tell me, I'll pass on all my knowledge to you!"
Yunxi's eyes lit up: "It's a deal!"
…
Nine-story pagoda.
Lan Yue spent an unknown amount of time tinkering in the system laboratory.
Finally, they emerged carrying a few small array plates.
As soon as it appeared in the ancient Five Elements Formation, countless vines wrapped around it.
Lan Yue didn't dodge; instead, she let the vines drag her up to the earthen wall.
This left the ninth layer of consciousness somewhat bewildered: "Has this guy completely given up on himself?"
However, the next second, a silver longsword appeared in Lan Yue's hand.
"Yinxue, stop sleeping and get up to work!"
This sword strike was powerful and resonant, piercing through the heavens.
The spot touched by the longsword cracked and slowly crumbled.
Then, like dominoes, the surrounding formations went out one by one.
The water curtain on the ninth floor suddenly exploded, and that consciousness instantly transformed into human form, its eyes filled with shock.
The next second, Lan Yue suddenly felt something kick her hard, and she fell directly into the vortex not far away.
"Lan Yue!" Yin Xue transformed into a silver-white kitten and hurriedly chased after her.
In that instant, Lan Yue had only one thought: which of the six brothers was the one who launched the sneak attack from behind?
