Chapter 188 True Flame in the Earth’s Center
This True Flame in the Heart of the Earth is several hundred feet deep underground in the alchemy room of the Spiritual Medicine Hall. The location of the alchemy room is connected to the ground by a jade passage.
The reason why the Spiritual Medicine Hall is designed in this way is to use the true flame of the center of the earth to refine elixirs. In this way, many alchemists will consume less true energy and can refine more elixirs.
Qiongqi had already dug a tunnel in the distance in advance. When Ye Liuyun and the others arrived, they drilled directly into the tunnel, leading from the ground to the jade passage, and then dug downwards along the jade passage.
After digging out the soil, they all turned around and blocked the entrance of the hole.
"You must have done a lot of sneaky things, otherwise why would you be so professional!" Ye Liuyun couldn't help but said aloud when he saw Qiongqi's well-organized arrangements.
"Isn't it just for some resources? Do you think I am willing? Remember back then, when I wanted nothing, I had to dig a tunnel myself! I can only say that you are too poor!" Qiuye also complained, but he dug the tunnel himself.
The claws are not slow at all.
The deeper they dug, the higher the temperature in the ground became. Fortunately, both of their own essences had fire attributes, so it was not difficult for them.
After digging for about half an hour, Qiongqi's speed also slowed down.
"We are just ahead. There is a formation to block the flames and prevent them from leaking out. You first activate the true energy body protection and use your Golden Crow Holy Fire to protect yourself." Qiongqi reminded Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun also hurriedly followed suit. Qiongqi did the same, covering his body with a layer of fiery red essence, and then he began to break the formation.
After the formation was broken, a burst of flames burst out.
"Enter!"
Qiongqi said hello, and Ye Liuyun dodged and rushed in. Qiongqi also followed, and the formation behind him closed again.
If the formation is not closed, the fire will burn to the ground in one night.
Below the formation, there is a huge space, like a cave, filled with flames. On the ground, there is a river of crimson magma flowing.
The two of them landed on the ground and carefully looked at their surroundings.
Ye Liuyun suddenly noticed that a dark red carp jumped out of the magma, and then merged into the magma and disappeared.
"Am I right? Was that a fish just now? Or am I hallucinating?" Ye Liuyun stared at the flowing magma, searching for the fish just now, but couldn't find it.
"It's not an hallucination. But it's not a real fish either. It's some spiritual intelligence bred in the magma, and occasionally it turns into the form of an animal, but this kind of spiritual consciousness is weaker. But we have to be careful, there may be people with higher spiritual intelligence.
creature." Qiongqi said cautiously.
The two of them followed the magma and walked upstream. After walking for about half an hour, they saw a low crater with magma pouring out continuously.
The temperature here is also higher. If you don't practice fire-attribute skills, you probably won't be able to get here.
"Haha, I found it. The deepest part of that small crater is the True Flame in the Earth's Core." Qiongqi said excitedly.
"Are you sure we won't be burned to ashes if we jump?" Ye Liuyun looked at the rolling magma and frowned.
"Although your Golden Crow Holy Fire hasn't been trained to the fire level, it is enough to block the magma. You can go down and try it first. If it doesn't work, come up and think of a way." Qiongqi is already eager to try.
Ye Liuyun immediately jumped on Qiongqi's back. If there was danger, Qiongqi could help him.
Qiongqi, on the other hand, turned into a stream of light and rushed directly into the crater.
With a "bang" sound, the two of them rushed into the magma, causing the magma to scatter in all directions.
As soon as he entered, Ye Liuyun was shocked. His true energy was being consumed rapidly. If this continued, he wouldn't be able to last even half an hour.
"Absorb the heat of this magma for your own use." Qiongqi even reminded Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun immediately used the Xuanyuan Qi Refining Technique to absorb the power of flames in the magma and replenish it into the true essence.
Not to mention, this method really worked. His true energy quickly reached a balance between output and input.
Just when the two of them had just adapted to the illusion and dived with all their strength, a sudden change occurred.
The two demonic flame monsters screamed and rushed towards them with looks like hell demons.
"What is this? A demon from hell?" Ye Liuyun quickly communicated with Qiongqi through his spiritual consciousness.
"This is the spirit demon you need for the next stage of body refining. It was bred from the true flames in the center of the earth. After years of gestation by the flames, it gave birth to a trace of spiritual intelligence. However, their spiritual intelligence is not high, and now they only know how to kill. You use God
Attacking them with consciousness can easily destroy their souls."
Qiongqi's diving speed did not stop at all, and he rushed towards the two flame spirit monsters.
Ye Liuyun activated two soul swords and instantly destroyed the souls of the spirit monsters.
The souls of these two spirit monsters were just in the form of a ball of flame and had not formed into any living thing at all. They were immediately dissipated when Ye Liuyun's soul sword charged them.
Qiongqi also happened to rush forward, grabbing two bright flames with two claws and one claw at a time.
The two spirit demons, after losing their souls, changed into the form of flames, but they did not merge with the magma, and the flames did not go out.
Qiongqi handed one to Ye Liuyun. "Keep this for future body training. I'll keep this for myself! You input a ray of spiritual consciousness, lest it takes too long and the spirit demon dies!"
As he spoke, Qiongqi injected a ray of divine consciousness into the flame, and then put the flame into the storage ring."
Ye Liuyun also followed suit, inputting a ray of divine consciousness to put the flame spirit demon into the storage ring.
The subsequent dive went smoothly. However, Ye Liuyun's consumption of real energy was increasing, and he had to use the Xuan Yuan Breathing Technique with all his strength to replenish consumption.
The color of the magma before their eyes became brighter and brighter, gradually changing from deep red to red, and then to gold again.
Ye Liuyun's phantom eyes could see a bright white light deep below from a distance.
"That is the True Flame of the Earth's Core!" Qiongqi explained to Ye Liuyun: "Your Golden Crow Holy Fire is stronger than the True Flame of the Earth's Core, so the amount you absorb cannot exceed the Golden Crow Holy Fire, otherwise it will engulf the Golden Crow Holy Fire.
"
"Okay." Ye Liuyun agreed, jumped off Qiongqi's back, and absorbed the flames on the spot with Qiongqi.
As Ye Liuyun absorbed more of the refined Earth Core True Flame, Ye Liuyun felt that the surrounding magma did not seem to be so hot anymore. The consumption of his body-protecting true energy immediately weakened a lot.
But Ye Liuyun felt that Qiongqi absorbed it faster than him.
"As expected of the Fire Emperor, his control over flames is much better than mine! Now his strength should be greatly improved. I wonder how strong he can be when all his strength is restored!"
Ye Liuyun felt that Qiongqi's ability to absorb flames was almost twice as fast as his own, and he couldn't help but be full of expectations for Qiongqi.
About a day later, Ye Liuyun stopped first. The True Flame of the Earth's Core he had absorbed was close to two-thirds of the Golden Crow Holy Fire.
He didn't dare to absorb any more, lest he would swallow up the Golden Crow Holy Fire. The amount of these was just right, just enough to replenish the Golden Crow Holy Fire and strengthen it.
