725. Chapter 723: Decision to Head to Heavenly Wind City

They generously shared the remaining spirit beast meat with the three.

The three cultivators looked at them gratefully, all expressing their wish to repay this great kindness.

"Actually, this spirit beast meat is very beneficial for cultivation."

Lu Yuan suddenly said, "I'm currently considering using it as an ingredient for refining a new type of pill."

The others hearing this were instantly surprised, "Really?"

"That's a very precious spiritual material!"

"Yes, and as far as I know, this pill will enhance cultivation effects and improve physical fitness." Lu Yuan explained with a smile.

The three cultivators burned with fervor inside, their eyes full of envy.

"If you really intend to refine such a pill, we are willing to help."

Zi Xi'er also joined the conversation, "It just so happens we are preparing to head to Heavenly Wind City; if you are willing to travel with us, we can help each other."

Lu Yuan gave a slight smile: "I will pay attention to safety."

They discussed how to cooperate, mutually sharing their insights and experiences.

The elder-level cultivator nodded, "However, that place is extremely dangerous; I advise you to consider carefully."

Zi Xi'er was also drawn in, "We like adventure and challenges."

Lu Yuan expressed his gratitude and asked for some information about this dense forest and the Black Flame Sect's mission.

In the dense forest deep within the Xinan Mountains, after Lu Yuan and Zi Xi'er had finished enjoying the tasty spirit beast meat, the three cultivators who had suddenly burst in followed the fragrance over.

After they briefly introduced their names and cultivation levels to each other, Lu Yuan told them about his plan to refine a new type of pill.

After getting along with the three Black Flame Sect disciples, Lu Yuan and Zi Xi'er found they were not arrogant and conceited as rumored, but rather amiable and eager to help.

"Let's head to Heavenly Wind City together."

The elder-level cultivator gave Lu Yuan a mysterious glance and whispered, "I've heard you are very sensitive to fire-attribute spiritual energy."

"If you're interested, you can go to a certain special place to investigate."

"Then it's settled!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's heart immediately filled with strong interest.

"Exactly so."

The elder-level cultivator warned, "That place is teeming with fire-attribute demonic beasts and strange spiritual energy; one needs sufficient strength to cope."

Finally, after parting on friendly terms with the Black Flame Sect disciples, Lu Yuan and Zi Xi'er decided to go to that mysterious place to seek the truth.

The three cultivators exchanged a glance and nodded at Lu Yuan and Zi Xi'er.

"Since you are so interested, you must act carefully."

"Does that place have abundant and fiery spiritual power?"

They claimed to be disciples of the Black Flame Sect, assigned to this dense forest to carry out a mission of exploration.

Lu Yuan and Zi Xi'er felt curious about the arrival of these cultivators, so they reached out and shook hands with one elder-level cultivator as a greeting.

They were grateful for the information these cultivators provided, and expressed that if the opportunity arose they would definitely come to visit the Black Flame Sect.

After leaving the bonfire site, Lu Yuan and Zi Xi'er launched into a detailed discussion.

They discussed how to reach the special place safely, and considered how to deal with various possible difficulties and dangers.

Both felt excited and anticipatory.

That night, they set up a tent in the mountains and forests to rest.

Under the starry sky, Lu Yuan gazed at the stars scattered across the heavens, falling into contemplation.

He recalled the special place mentioned by the Black Flame Sect disciples, his heart filled with curiosity and anticipation.

He knew that not only could he possibly gain more spiritual power cultivation there, but it could also bring him closer to the realm of the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation, which has always been his goal.

"Lu Yuan."

Zi Xi'er walked to his side, "What are you thinking about?"

Lu Yuan gave a slight smile, "I'm thinking about how we should proceed next."

Zi Xi'er leaned against him, "No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must face them together."

"After all, we are striving for a common goal."

Lu Yuan nodded, the bright starlight reflecting their resolute yet gentle gazes.

On the outskirts of the Xinan Mountains, Lu Yuan and Zi Xi'er had already ventured deep into the range for several days, seeking the legendary gathering place of fire-attribute spiritual energy, but found nothing.

Besides feeling puzzled, they decided to scout from high above to look for clues.

As the two weaved through the dense forest, they suddenly heard a clamor.

They immediately quickened their pace, heading toward the source of the sound.

Soon after, they saw on a spacious clearing that cultivators from two sects were engaged in fierce combat.

"These are people from the Black Flame Sect and the Red Lotus Sect!" Zi Xi'er whispered.

She knew the Black Flame Sect and Red Lotus Sect are irreconcilable, constantly erupting in conflict.

This time, too, they likely came to contend for that rare "Profound Yang Purple Spirit Flower."

Just as the two were observing, suddenly a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator being pursued by the Red Lotus Sect burst out of the woods.

Although he bore wounds, his expression was resolute, obviously unafraid.

Zi Xi'er quickly made a decision, disregarding danger she rushed onto the battlefield to lend aid to that pursued cultivator.

Lu Yuan, however, realized his identity might draw the Red Lotus Sect's attention, so he chose to retreat swiftly.

Just as he was about to leave, suddenly a powerful suction force instantly pulled him into a mass of flame.

Within the flames, he sensed a rich and scorching fire-attribute spiritual energy, with everything around tinged red.

When Lu Yuan regained his footing, he discovered he had somehow arrived in an unknown area filled with fire-attribute spiritual energy.

The surroundings felt strangely familiar, and he realized he might have stumbled into that much-discussed mysterious valley.

"Phew!"

Lu Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and began to survey his surroundings.

This place stretched endlessly, the ground covered with strange flame-like flowers and plants.

Fiery clouds drifted in the sky, and within the flames an unknown power flowed.

The whole valley gave off a strong scent of fire, making it feel scorching hot.

Lu Yuan carefully looked around and saw no other presence.

He couldn't help recalling the words of an Elder-level cultivator about this place—it was indeed extremely dangerous.

"Since I'm here, I might as well explore thoroughly," Lu Yuan resolved silently.

He first ventured cautiously into the valley's depths, searching for any clues.

As he walked, a powerful fire energy seeped into his body, making him feel as if his whole body were engulfed in flames.

Gradually, Lu Yuan spotted a fiery red gem faintly appearing before his eyes.

The gem emitted a dazzling light and radiated fiery power outward.

"What treasure is this?" Lu Yuan's heart stirred.

He carefully took the gem and placed it into his storage bag.

Lu Yuan flew and explored within the region known as Fire Spirit Valley, discovering abundant strange flowers and herbs and rich medicinal resources. (End of chapter)
