Chapter 43: Yanlan Cave Heaven (3)

  The three of them increased their speed exponentially, crossing mountains and ridges. After two incense sticks, they arrived at the second opportunity place marked on the map.

  Fortunately, no other fellow disciples came here yet.

  Xia Jinxi looked around for a while and found that there was a volcano here.

  Therefore, there were no spiritual plants around, and the whole thing looked bare.

  You Ling took out the map and compared it carefully. "Yes, it's here. It seems that the opportunity here is likely to be on the volcano."

  Xia Jinxi found several red thumb-sized insects flying in the distance, and immediately reminded: "There are fire beetles that feed on magma here. Be careful not to be bitten by it, otherwise you will be poisoned by fire!"

  As she said this, she quickly hold her sword, splitting all the fire beetles that intended to approach into bits.

  There was a buzzing sound in the distance, and more fire beetles appeared.

  Shen Qingluo immediately performed the Silence Spirit Fire Art. In an instant, a large sea of fire appeared in the air within a radius of five feet. Accompanied by a crackling sound, the fire beetles fell to the ground one after another.

  Although they feed on magma, they cannot absorb the flames formed by the Silence Spirit Fire Art because it contains extremely strong fire spiritual power.

  In fact, these fire beetles were first blown up by the fire spiritual power, and then burned into charcoal.

  After killing these monster insects, the danger was temporarily lifted. Shen Qingluo walked in front and headed towards the crater.

  This volcano had erupted more than once, and many caves were formed around it. There was still magma flowing slowly in the volcano.

  The three of them came to the crater, carefully went down, and landed on a huge rock.

  You Ling released her spiritual sense to investigate for a moment, but found nothing special, so she murmured: "In the world of cultivation, where there are volcanoes, the treasures that appear are basically ores used for various types of refining equipment, and there are some rare ones among them. I guess it should be the same here."

  Shen Qingluo's attention was on the magma at this moment, "Jinxi, Senior Sister You, do you think this magma is a little strange?"

  "Magma?" You Ling concentrated and sensed for a while, then shook her head, "I didn't find anything special."

  Xia Jinxi felt the same way. She looked at her friend and asked curiously, "Qingluo, did you notice anything?"

  "I can't explain it clearly. It's just an intuition. When I got here just now, I felt like I was being stared at by something."

  After these words came out, You Ling and Xia Jinxi immediately became alert and looked around, but after a long time, nothing happened.

  "Junior Sister Shen, are you being too suspicious? The temperature of the magma is so high that even a cultivator with fire spirit roots can't last long in it. There shouldn't be anyone ambushing here, right?"

  "No, I'm sure it's not a cultivator. This feeling of being watched is getting stronger and stronger. Jinxi, Senior Sister You, you guys should pay attention to your defense. I'll test it out first to see what's in the magma!"

  "Okay."

  You Ling and Xia Jinxi each put up a defense circle. The next moment, Shen Qingluo pinched the Tianyuan Yanjin Jue with her hand, and a golden sword containing sharp sword energy instantly condensed in mid-air, aiming at a certain position in the magma and slashing it down.

  With a loud crashing sound, large pieces of magma splashed up and scattered around.

  The giant rock where the three people were was far away and was not affected.

  With a slash, the magma flow rate suddenly increased, and You Ling and Xia Jinxi both found something wrong.

  The latter looked a little solemn, "Qingluo, looking at this situation, the magma seems to be controlled by some existence."

  You Ling, who was cautious by nature, simply suggested: "This place is dangerous, why don't we just withdraw, anyway, there is more than one place of opportunity marked on the map."

  Shen Qingluo was concentrating on observing the changes in the magma. After hearing what the two said, he was silent for a moment, and then said carefully: "Jinxi, Senior Sister Yao, I have a guess in my mind. If it comes true, then this place is indeed very dangerous. You should leave the crater first, and I plan to try again."

Xia Jinxi knew that there was a certain gap between her own strength and her friends. If she insisted on staying at this moment, she might be a drag, so she nodded and said: "Qingluo, no matter what happens, safety must be the top priority."

  "Yes, I will."

In fact she knew that this place is not dangerous at all, but just a test for strange fire to search for suitable master, that's the protagonist. This opportunity is different from the previous opportunity she can get because they're not that important, except this one.

Because later the protagonist will end up fighting with evil Nascent soul cultivator when she's just at foundation building and continue to meet God killing god, meet Buddha killing Buddha on the way becoming strong.

The most important thing is this strange fire have spirit and really not suitable for her. But she need it for something else, her stone bottle need to be burnt by that strange fire.

  Seeing Shen Qingluo coming out, the two people who were anxiously waiting outside immediately trotted to her.

  Xie Jinxi looked at her friend carefully, confirmed that she was not injured, and finally showed a smile on her face.

  "Qingluo, what's going on inside?"

  Shen Qingluo didn't intend to hide the matter of taming the strange fire from the two. Even if she didn't tell them now, they would find out sooner or later when they fought against the enemy in the future.

  She smiled and explained, "There is a fire spirit in the magma, and it has recognized me as its master. The danger there has been eliminated."

  The two were a little surprised when they heard it. The strange fire was extraordinary. Before it was tamed, even if a foundation-building cultivator encountered it, it would be very dangerous. It was very rare to be able to tame it.

  "Congratulations to Junior Sister Shen, you have greatly improved your strength with the help of the strange fire!" You Ling's congratulations rang out. The stronger the companions are, the safer they will be in this Yanlan Cave Heaven.

  Xie Jinxi was also very happy, but her face change as if remember something and her face full of hesitation, like wanting to speak but dare not.

Shen Qingluo immediately see it and asked worriedly, "What's wrong, Jinxi? Is there are anything you want to consult with?"

Xia Jinxi tangled for a moment and shake her head in the end. "No, it's not a big deal" Thinking of the ores in the volcano, she suggested, "Since the fire spirit has been tamed by Qingluo, should we go back and take a look and collect some materials for refining?"

Shen Qingluo thinks it's definitely not just that, but if her friend doesn't want to say it she will wait until she ready to tell her.

  "Of course, let's go together!"

  The three of them walked together. With the reminder of the Pure World Fire, Shen Qingluo quickly found a treasure land with relatively dense ores.

  There are as many as forty kinds of ores here, of which rare ones account for nearly 20%, with the largest number of Qiling Stone and Red Blood Iron.

  Similar to the distribution of spiritual plants in the spiritual medicine garden, the three of them divided the common ores equally. You Ling and Xia Jinxi refused to take more of the rare ores, and only took one or two small pieces of each, leaving the rest to Shen Qingluo.

  After dividing the ores, You Ling took out the map again, and the three of them followed the instructions to go to the next opportunity place.
