Chapter 102: Entering the Bing Huo Liang Yi Yan

A few more hours passed, and Li Xuan forcefully dug out a particularly tidy space of over thirty square meters underground, and at the same time he took out some planks and wooden sticks for support.

The soil here is loose, and Li Xuan worries about being buried alive, so the necessary supports must be in place.

Doing the math, Li Xuan has only spent fifteen days here, which means he can go to the surface after five more days, so for the next five days he must stay here, which is a good chance to rest and prepare for harvesting Heavenly Material Earth Treasure.

Then Li Xuan took a simple wooden plank bed from the Void Pearl, spread bedding on it, washed up briefly, and crawled into the quilt, ready to rest properly.

Lying on the bed about to fall asleep, a flash of insight struck Li Xuan, he suddenly remembered something and sat up abruptly.

It is said that the formation of Bing Huo Liang Yi Yan resulted from the simultaneous fall of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King, buried here, which created this Bing Huo Liang Yi Yan.

"The bodies of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King lie beneath the Bing Huo Liang Yi Yan; ten‑thousand‑year soul beasts will inevitably produce soul bones, and the soul bones from these two dragon‑king rulers of the Douluo Continent will be of extremely high quality—what a treasure!" Li Xuan's eyes lit up, his voice full of excitement.

Anyway, idle is idle, a young man's drive is enough! After looking around, Li Xuan dug a few more meters inward, uncovered another small cavity, and then continued digging downward along it.

The soil inside the Bing Huo Liang Yi Yan is relatively loose and appears nutrient‑rich; moreover, it has been soaked for years in the Spiritual Energy of the Bing Huo Liang Yi Yan, which has permeated the soil, so the soil contains abundant Spiritual Energy, and planting there could cause plants to evolve.

That's a treasure too, and Li Xuan did not hesitate; he immediately began loading the soil into his Void Pearl, saving himself the time of repeatedly hauling it.

Li Xuan thought of the two ten‑thousand‑year dragon‑king soul bones, his drive surging.

……

Five days slipped by in a flash.

Li Xuan considered the update time of the System Mall and deduced that it was now around six or seven in the morning; Dugu Bo should have already left, so it was time to go into the Bing Huo Liang Yi Yan to harvest those treasures.

Li Xuan tossed the shovel aside, then, with a heavy expression, squatted in the deep pit, holding a Starfire Fruit and carefully observing the surrounding soil.

"It seems I have no fate with these two soul bones; five days of digging and still none," Li Xuan muttered, frowning.

Li Xuan examined the surrounding soil closely; if this place were near the spots where the two dragon kings ascended, dragon‑blood‑mixed soil would form a special dragon‑blood earth, one of the most coveted soils for medicinal farmers, but the soil before him was clearly not dragon‑blood earth, indicating the ascension sites were still far away.

Calming his disappointment, Li Xuan, unwilling to give up, checked again; after a careful inspection he confirmed that none of the surrounding soil showed even a trace of dragon‑blood earth, so he had no idea how much longer he would need to dig to find the dragon kings' ascension sites.

However, Dugu Bo will only be away from the Bing Huo Liang Yi Yan for three days; the time to harvest Heavenly Material Earth Treasure is limited, so he cannot waste too much time here.

"Fine, since there's no fate with the two dragon kings, those Heavenly Material Earth Treasure must be fated for me; if I get them it's luck, if not it's destiny, retreat," Li Xuan, a person who can both take and let go, decided that since he hadn't obtained the soul bones, he would stop agonizing and prepare to enter the Bing Huo Liang Yi Yan.

He climbed up the rope ladder, returned to the dwelling he had dug, and next would be to dig upward, emerge from the tunnel, enter the Bing Huo Liang Yi Yan, and begin harvesting Heavenly Material Earth Treasure.

The tunnel Li Xuan was digging was now only five meters from the surface, and he spent just half an hour to successfully break through.

As Li Xuan's shovel struck empty space, a ray of sunlight streamed through the crack; he exhaled in relief and hurriedly shielded his eyes. After spending seven or eight days in the tunnel, his eyes still needed to adjust to the outside light. Before he could adapt, an overwhelming surge of energy poured straight into the tunnel through the opening his shovel created.

"Here I go!" Li Xuan was the first to be hit, as this overwhelming and domineering soul power poured into his body, the massive Spiritual Energy making him gasp.

The Spiritual Energy inside the Bing Huo Liang Yi Yan differs from soul power; it is even purer and more domineering.

If an ordinary soul cultivator encountered such a soul‑spiritual energy infusion, they would likely explode and die.

But Li Xuan is different; not only does he have a genuine cultivation method, his meridians have been reinforced by two top‑grade flames, so although the Spiritual Energy is domineering, it only causes a slight sting in his meridians and does not cause serious harm.

Nevertheless, the suffocating feeling instantly threw Li Xuan into a strong dizziness, yet the last shred of his reason made him clutch the Great Teleportation Talisman, which could guarantee an instant activation in any emergency.

After a quarter of an hour, Li Xuan came to his senses and found his soul power level had unknowingly advanced one tier, reaching level 25; after absorbing the soul ring of the Filthy Flame Yin Lotus, his soul power had been at level 24.

Li Xuan sensed the soul power within his body and immediately returned to the tunnel.

He arrived at the entrance, extinguished the Filthy Flame on the Lotus Platform, stored it in the Void Pearl, then filled the entrance with soil to prevent Spiritual Energy leakage.

The Spiritual Energy here is a valuable resource, and Li Xuan does not want to waste it.

After sealing the tunnel entrance, Li Xuan immediately returned to the Bing Huo Liang Yi Yan, cleared the surface soil of the exit, and enlarged the opening enough for him to get out.

Before exiting, Li Xuan pinched the Great Teleportation Talisman bound to his wrist in his hand for quick activation; after preparing, he cautiously stuck his head out of the tunnel exit.

He looked around: behind him was a towering Stone Wall, its top invisible; ahead stretched a dense carpet of flora. Though beautiful, from his angle he only saw leaves and stems, not a single blossom.

After carefully observing the surroundings and confirming no one was present, Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and cautiously climbed out from underground.

Once out, Li Xuan immediately scanned the area again, and after confirming no one was there, he finally relaxed and re‑wore the Great Teleportation Talisman on his wrist.

"Hehe, Bing Huo Liang Yi Yan, I'm coming!" Li Xuan said, stood up, and rushed toward the Heavenly Material Earth Treasure before him.

Getting a bit closer, Li Xuan finally saw the myriad forms of these exotic flowers and herbs, a riot of purples and reds—a breathtakingly beautiful scene, a place of overwhelming beauty, a mortal's ultimate splendor.

However, Li Xuan is not a flower‑lover; he values the medicinal properties of these Heavenly Material Earth Treasure.

"So beautiful, but alas, I must become the one who hastens their bloom," Li Xuan said, then took out various tools and boxes from the Void Pearl, tossed them on the ground, and began preparing to harvest the Heavenly Material Earth Treasure.

Dear readers and lords, happy Mid‑Autumn Festival, wishing you family happiness and prosperity; more updates coming soon.
