Chapter 754: Demon Head (22)
The small island was covered with dense forests, wild beasts shuttled, and many villages were scattered among them. The spiritual energy was thin, but in the center of the island, there was a cyan hot spring, boiling endlessly, bottomless, and several clear streams flowed out, going into the forest.
A black-clothed cultivator was guarding by the pool, sitting cross-legged quietly. After most of the day, a brown-clothed cultivator galloped over, landed by the pool, and arched his hands: "Fellow Daoist Feng, I borrowed the 【Li Shu Fire-Avoiding Cover】."
The loose cultivator surnamed Feng jumped up from the pool instantly, clearly having been absent-minded just now, and replied:
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Fang, take it out quickly!"
This one surnamed Fang took out a red jade bead from his sleeve and said somewhat reluctantly:
"You must be careful... This is mortgaged with my family's 【Wu Ting Talisman Pen】... and I even pressed a spiritual stone as rent. If it weren't for the special talisman pen, how could people let it out..."
The loose cultivator surnamed Feng glanced at him and said patiently: "Don't worry, I have been to this island many times. This group of savages was also raised by my great-grandfather in this place, which is convenient for my descendants to take. I was afraid of creating any powerful characters, so I didn't even teach them characters."
"This island has always been lacking in spiritual energy. I came to see today that there is a slight spiritual energy on the island, all relying on a large boiling spring in the center of the island. There must be some changes in the earth veins."
He took out the jade bead, and his magic power merged into it, immediately expanding and spreading, turning into a red barrier full of runes, covering the two. The cultivator surnamed Feng took the lead and sank into the lake, saying:
"I once visited Master Xia, the alchemist of Muhai. He mentioned a mouth. The spring color is cyan, gushing out from the ground, with a sense of rising. When it turns into water, it is called 【Cave Spring】. The immortal lineage in the sea practices this, called 'Lu Water'."
The cultivator surnamed Fang asked:
"Dew water? What kind of dew water? What level of character is it when practiced?"
The cultivator surnamed Feng shook his robes and pointed to the top of his head, saying: "Of course it is higher than the sky."
The cultivator surnamed Fang was shocked:
"Higher than the sky? It's a Zifu cultivator lineage!"
The cultivator surnamed Feng smiled without saying a word, shook his head and said: "That is called Zifu! People are the lineage of Zifu cultivators! Don't look at how amazing the masters on the island are at moving mountains and filling seas, people can look them to death with one glance."
He changed the topic and said: "However, the things in this cave can cause a piece of boiling, and the spiritual energy of the entire island is overflowing. It must be a Foundation Establishment-level spiritual object. As long as it is in hand, you and I won't have to worry for the rest of our lives."
Fang cultivator sighed: "I only rely on the fellow Daoist's guidance. I am just a miscellaneous Qi cultivator. What can I do even if there are better treasures? It is good that the fellow Daoist is righteous, and if you get the opportunity, you will step up. Don't forget to guide me."
The two said, and had already entered the earth veins. On both sides were boiling water vapor mixed with flames, burning the magic treasure to buzz. The cultivator surnamed Feng was clearly somewhat lacking in magic power, let his partner take over, and changed color: "So domineering! This is not yet deep in the earth veins... Where is there such terrible earth fire!"
Fang cultivator's lineage was clearly not as good as his, and he hadn't even seen earth fire. He could only nod pretendingly. The cultivator surnamed Feng's expression changed several times, gritted his teeth and said: "How many elixirs do you have left!"
Fang cultivator recited the few children in his pocket. The cultivator surnamed Feng said decisively:
"Your and my elixirs are sufficient. Since we have reached this place, how can we return without success? We must go deep into the earth veins to take a look. Even if we can't get anything, at least we know what is below!"
He gritted his teeth and operated his magic power, flying for a quarter of an hour in one breath, and finally saw the water vapor in front of his eyes slightly stop. The earth fire under the ground flickered, and he vaguely saw an empty place.
The cave in the ground had flat stone slabs, carved with countless complex patterns, and in the very center, a deep black flame was jumping on a platform like an altar.
The two only felt a burst of excitement rushing to their brains. Before they could recover from this surprise, the cultivator surnamed Feng took advantage of the dimming of the flames and looked far away, actually vaguely seeing a withered bone beside the flames! This withered bone sat cross-legged, seemingly dead for many years, and a golden, metal-like storage bag fell beside the withered bone, becoming more dazzling in the flames.
The cultivator surnamed Feng was shocked, and his greed arose: "It is actually the place where a cultivator sat and died! My opportunity has arrived!"
He immediately retreated and said in a low voice:
"I can't hold on anymore! Leave quickly!"
Both of them were at the end of their strength. The flames around them became brighter and brighter with the cycle of the earth veins. Fang cultivator already felt the soles of his feet hot, nodded repeatedly, and the two disappeared into the sea of fire rapidly.
The two left, leaving only vast flames in this place. The withered bone on the ground moved its fingers, and the skin and flesh suddenly appeared, and the white-gold Daoist robes jumped up again, manifesting an upright face.
Li Ximing breathed a deep sigh of relief, feeling quite comfortable:
"Someone came!"
Li Ximing was trapped by Chang Xiao's 【Sang Yu Can Jiu Profound Method】. As long as he left this place, the flames on his body would manifest like a bright lamp, so he had to use spiritual objects to suppress it. Several months had passed, and he had already used more than ten drops. The only hope was for people to come from outside.
"This spring water is the least ostentatious, and it looks like it was obtained from earth vein changes, so it won't cause too much of a storm, but the disadvantage is that few people come... Waited for several months, and only a first-level Qi Refining came!"
A first-level Qi Refining cultivator was naturally of no use. If he hadn't deliberately suppressed the flames, those two people wouldn't have been able to see him at all. Li Ximing didn't move them, letting the long line catch the big fish.
"Qi Refining is far from enough... at least a Foundation Establishment must come... to have the possibility of getting out of trouble..."
He had the only 【Xuan Que Heart Medicine】 for Zifu healing in his hand, and there were quite a few precious medicines and auxiliary medicines in the storage bag. Li Ximing was, after all, a Zifu alchemist. He had slowly found a way to heal in these few months. It was a pity that he needed Foundation Establishment monsters as the main medicine. Sitting here alone, he naturally couldn't refine it.
"Hook a few Foundation Establishment cultivators, find a way to let them collect a few spiritual objects for me... then catch a female water monster, and I can think of a way to get an elixir... and suppress the injury first."
He pondered slightly. At the moment, with the help of the Immortal Mirror, his spiritual sense flew out, watching the two go away. But before they left the island, the black-clothed cultivator surnamed Feng had already taken advantage of the other party's exhaustion of magic power, pulled out his sword from the storage bag, and cut him into pieces in three or two strokes.
'Truly decisive... This way, even the magic treasure doesn't need to be returned. You can use it yourself after taking it.'
Li Ximing looked coldly at the cultivator surnamed Feng leaving the island, and a strange feeling arose in his heart:
'Now I am also a Zifu demon head suppressed in the earth veins in the storybook... just waiting for a silly boy to accidentally release me, and then after seventy-eight ups and downs, with the help of an immortal sword, I will be completely beheaded... What a beautiful story.' ===== CHAPTER 755 =====
