Chapter 40- Fire Yuan Crystals

"Young Master Zhu, this whole place had immense value that even in the Great Central Continent, this place would lead wars to get the occupy its resources," said Xiao Xun with a stunned face when she saw the large red crystals poking out from the ground.

"These are Fire Yuan crystals, with just this amount, many Firing artifacts could be made," said Xiao Xun, walking through the shining cave ground while she was holding Yao Zhu, who was confused after he heard Xiao Xun murmuring and looked at the huge red crystals poking out from the ground.

"What's the Firing artifact Xiao Xun?" asked Yao Zhu with an interesting gaze on Xiao Xun. He expected that in this fantasy world, the Firing arms like in his first life or maybe the cannon blasters that he had seen in the Flying boats.

"Whossh!"

She took out the white and golden-designed sampan boat from her dimension ring, and both set out to look for the Natural treasure in the sampan boat while Yao Zhu was still in Xiao Xun embrace.

"Well, firing artifacts are just the other name for the Cannon in the Battleship. Making one of those is very hard, Young master, not because of creation but because the materials required for the Firing artifact are scarce and costly." 

"Of course, Young master, these Fire Yuan Crystals are also used in the puppets to produce fire techniques and trap mechanisms with deadly fire explosions"

"Young master Zhu, this place should be notified to Patriarch Yao to secure the Fire Yuan Crystals for Crafting many artifacts," talked Xiao Xun with an excited voice after all, she knew that the Ancient Yao Family specialized in Crafting and also the source of the 7th Tier Artifacts in the Great Central Continent. 

"Definitely, but slow down a little until I reach the 9th stage of True Yuan State Realm, we need to take this Natural treasure before that person notices us, and I think we should follow this river like Fire Yuan elements above?" said Yao Zhu, looking above the cave ceiling with many Fire Yuan crystals trucking out and there was a flow of Red Fire Yuan elements in a particular direction. 

"I already got it where the Natural Treasure was situated, Young Master Zhu, but you are correct we should follow the River Fire Yuan elements floating above us," explained Xiao Xun with a slight chuckle under her black cloak and increased the speed of Sampan boat.

The temperature and heat were raging as they moved forward in the Sampan boat, but the Defense Array formation protected Yao Zhu from the extreme heat waves. 

'Am I seeing things? There are wings in that bright light,' thought Yao Zhu when he saw the end of the Fire Yuan elements went into the bright light that blinded the eyes of Yao Zhu. He saw a rocky altar rising from the cave ground, and at the top, there was a bright light with all the fire yuan elements concentrated while he felt the illusion of crimson wings that warped around the bright light.

"Ugh!" Yao Zhu frowned when he felt the sampan boat shaking in the air when it got hit by the strong heat wave at a distance of 100 meters from the altar. 

"Young Master Zhu, please stay in the boat for your safety, I will go and get the Natural Treasure," said Xiao Xun with a stern face under the black cloak as she was concerned that Yao Zhu might be harmed when she was going to capture the Natural Treasure.

Xiao Xun's curvy body flickered and stood in the air in a distance of 20 meters from the altar. When the Natural Treasure sensed the danger from Xiao Xun, it began emitting the raging waves of Fire Yuan elements in all directions.

Then, all the floating Fire Yuan elements sucked formed a whirlpool and a crescent slash was dashed at Xiao Xun, which blasted when the crescent slash hit on the Qi barrier around Xiao Xun.

"Whoosh!"

'I will finish this quickly before anything happens,' thought Xiao Xun, a seven marked Rune tattoo formed on her forehead as she activated her Human-origin bloodline- Divine Void eyes.

"Divine Void Eyes- Void controlling"

A stack of thick void lines formed in her hand and twirled toward the top of the altar as the thick void lines spread and separated.

In a movement, that whole space started twisting into the thick void lines that had already taken the void net form which began creating the subspace inside the void net.

"Void Square Sealing array"

'Great, the Natural treasure fully matured, but it seems like it won't be easy for me to capture it,' thought Xiao Xun as her white iris eyes sparked with excitement as the void net slowly changed to a square shape.

'The other ability for the Divine Void Eyes-Void controlling is awesome; the control over the space scale is huge and unimaginable, and still, this is not the full strength. I can't imagine just how much space scale could be controlled using Divine Void Eyes with full strength,' thought Yao Zhu as he already saw the Void nullification ability of Divine Void Eyes, which can destroy the void and now Void control and he still needs to see just how many abilities were there in the Human origin bloodline- Divine Void Eyes.

"…" Yao Zhu's red eyes glanced at the bright light dimming, revealing a crimson oval stone at the rocky altar while illusionary crimson wings solidified after all the Fire Yuan elements sucked into the crimson oval stone.

"BANGGG!"

The crimson oval stone collided with the Void Square sealing array, which sensed that it had already been captured without noticing and started colliding with the Sealing array with the crimson wings fluttering at a very high rate.

"Tsk, it had noticed already I should hurry up before things get worse," said Xiao Xun, who tried to capture the Natural Treasure silently, but the crimson oval stone with animal intelligence, which was the basic survival instinct, tried to bounce on the boundaries of the Void square sealing array.

Her first two fingers and thumb touched each other, and she started controlling the Void Square Sealing array, which began reducing in size as the bouncing of crimson oval stone was getting uncontrolled and manic.

"Not a chance you will get away from my hands," said Xiao Xun as she sped up the capturing process she knew that when capturing a Natural Treasure, it might release a destructive attack and annihilate the whole place, and that too, this Natural Treasure was made with Fire Yuan element.

"BOOMM!!"

A fire plasma blasted at the boundary wall of the Void Square Sealing array, making Yao Zhu winch when he heard the sound waves coming from the Sealing array.

'Tsk! What a powerful attack, and it almost made a crack at the Sealing array, but in front of a Divine Transformation Qi master, it was nothing at all,' thought Yao Zhu while covering his ears and looking at the crimson oval stone was releasing the fire plasma blasts one after another to escape from the Void Square Sealing array.

He also saw that the size of the Void Square Sealing array was decreasing, and in desperation, the crimson oval stone was releasing the fire plasma blast to the Sealing array.

"Whoa! It shows desperation, but all of it is no use; just surrender yourself," said Xiao Xun, with a little flicker of the gold light in mesmerizing Divine Void Eyes. The Void lines surged out from the Boundary wall of the Sealing array and surrounded the crimson oval stone to restrict its rigid movements and surreal plasma blasts.

The Void lines held the Crimson Oval stone. Some void lines were disintegrated by the plasma blasts, but the void lines overwhelmed and tightly surrounded it, covering the entire Crimson Oval stone.

The 10 square meters of Void Square Sealing array reduced to the palm size of Crimson Oval stone with many void lines holding it tightly, and the sealing array flew to the hands of Xiao Xun, where an open lid bronze box came out from her Dimension ring, and Xiao Xun put the sealing array inside the bronze box and close the lid which shone in gold hue that the Natural Treasure was completely captured.

"There are medical herds at the top of the altar, but first, I need to check on Young Master Zhu," said Xiao Xun, who quickly went to the sampan boat as Yao Zhu was waiting eagerly for her.

"Mission completed, Young Master Zhu and there are Medical herbs on the top of the altar, which are very in good condition, and they are very rare Medical herbs," said Xiao Xun with a smile on her face while she let the sampan boat towards the altar top.

"No need first, we need to leave this place before Luan Er comes back to the mansion," said Yao Zhu as Xiao Xun nodded to her and created the space portal that connected directly to Yao Zhu's room in the mansion as she put the bronze box inside the dimension ring along with sampan boat.

"Wait, what's about the array formation, are you going to leave it here?" asked Yao Zhu, who was in Xiao Xun's arms embrace and glanced back at the Invisible Space Array formation.

"It's alright, Young master. I have some reason for putting that because these Fire Yuan crystal Mines are important to Ancient Yao Family, so I needed to secure this Mine before it was discovered by other Ancient Families," said Xiao Xun with a stern gaze back at the Invisible Space Array formation and left the mountain crack cave by traveling through the Space Portal.

Meanwhile, 

"Hah… Hah… Hah…" Ah Lian panted while feeling tired, and his dizzy eyes gazed at the cracking Dark Sealing Array with a slight smile on his face. 

"Thanks, soldier. Don't worry; it will be over quickly. Hehe, hope that masked guy is powerful for a good fight," grinned the drunkard old blacksmith while swinging his hammer as he couldn't wait to have a good fight. 

"Then I have some urgent thing, Mister Ah Lian. I will take my leave, and the Town head told you to quickly join the Town border to defend against the Yuan beast tide," said Han Luan Er as she quickly ran off in the direction of Mansion. 

"Huh?" Ah Lian was confused, seeing that he didn't see the old blacksmith who was just a moment ago with him. 

"Damn, when is this all shit going to end. Anyway, I need to speed up to the Town border and check the Defense Array formation," said Ah Lian, as he didn't have a little time to rest a bit, he jumped on his Compass Flying Artifact and flew to the Town border.
