Chapter 82: Tempered by demonic fire, strengthened body
"I know where the spiritual fire is..."
The tower spirit's voice made Xiao Nuo's heart tighten.
"where?"
"Right in front of you."
"Um?"
Xiao Nuo glanced around and couldn't see even a spark. If the other party wasn't talking nonsense, then he was blind.
Xiao Nuo said helplessly, "Do you think you are very humorous?"
The tower spirit replied, "Can you open your eyes wider? With such a big spiritual fire in front of you, can't you see it?"
"I..." Xiao Nuo resisted the urge to curse. He glanced at the Taoist platform again. Apart from the Spirit Gathering Cauldron, there was only the huge skeleton of the purple gold fire-refining beast left on the entire platform. There was nowhere else left.
Is there a spiritual fire?
etc……
Purple gold fire beast?
The corners of Xiao Nuo's eyes twitched slightly. He looked at the skeleton of the demonic beast in front of him, which was over a hundred meters long. He couldn't help but ask, "Is this what you're talking about?"
"That's right!" Talling replied.
"How is this possible? It has been dead for at least three hundred years, right?"
As soon as Xiao Nuo finished speaking, the Hongmeng Golden Pagoda in his body released a slight ray of spiritual power.
"Wow!"
The next moment, the monster skeleton in front of Xiao Nuo was like burning gasoline, with purple-gold flames burning rapidly.
The hot breath suddenly filled the Taoist platform, and all the dust covering the bones of the purple gold refining beast was swept away.
Immediately afterwards, each gleaming animal bone, like one forged from glazed steel, gradually appeared in front of Xiao Nuo's eyes.
With its huge body and purple-gold flames, this skeleton looks like it has an indescribable mysterious aura.
It lies on the platform, like an evil spirit python from hell, with flames beating in its empty eye sockets, like awakening spiritual consciousness.
"How could this happen?" Xiao Nuo was puzzled.
The tower spirit replied, "I was wrong just now. The person who arranged this flame gathering formation is neither an alchemist nor a weapon refiner... but a beast control master!"
"Beast Controller?"
"That's right, the purpose of this 'Gathering Flame Cauldron' is not to absorb the beast fire from the Purple Gold Fire Refining Beast, but to integrate the spiritual fire collected in the cauldron into the body of the Purple Gold Fire Refining Beast to transform it into something new.
Even more powerful..."
Xiao Nuo's eyes widened with a look of surprise on his face.
The tower spirit said again, "This explains why the body of this purple-gold fire-refining beast is so huge. It's because someone specially provided it with spiritual fire to absorb. Because of this, its beast bones and corpses were forged to be extremely strong."
, it has even remained almost intact for three hundred years.”
"That's it!" Xiao Nuo also suddenly realized that he had never heard that the purple gold refining fire beast could grow to such an extent but it still died!"
"yes!"
"Do you know the reason?"
"The skeleton is so completely preserved, and there are no obvious signs of fracture on the skeleton. It is unlikely that it was killed by external force. In addition, only the skeleton is preserved, and there are no other tissues such as flesh, scales, claws, etc., so there is a high probability that it was in
An accident occurred during the process of absorbing the spiritual fire, which led to its death..."
Taling analyzed.
Three hundred years ago, a large number of ferocious monsters occupied Youyuan Prefecture, causing the destruction of all sects and the death of countless capable people.
If the beast control master was interrupted by an intruder while absorbing the spiritual fire for the purple gold refining beast, causing a backlash of power, then an accident would indeed occur.
Of course, guessing is just guessing. Xiao Nuo is not particularly interested in what happened in the past.
He just wants to know, can he still use spiritual fire to upgrade his ancient bronze body?
"Can the spirit fire still work?"
"Of course..." the tower spirit replied affirmatively, "the spiritual fire has not disappeared. Next, as long as we move backwards through the 'Gathering Flame Formation', we can take the spiritual fire in this corpse back into the cauldron!"
Xiao Nuo's eyes lit up.
The tower spirit said again, "The process of body refining will be more painful. You need to keep your mind at all times and don't get distracted!"
"I understand!"
"Okay, without further ado, let's start now!"
"Wow!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Hongmeng Golden Pagoda hidden in Xiao Nuo's body released a mysterious power.
Immediately afterwards, pulsator-shaped magma lines suddenly appeared on the dusty platform.
The scorching air flow immediately surged up, and the pulsator-like patterns interspersed and intertwined with each other, and then formed a magnificent flower of flame.
"Gathering Flame Formation·Retrograde Reversal!"
"Open the formation!"
With the sound of the formation opening, the flame flower bloomed quickly, and the huge purple-gold fire beast skeleton suddenly erupted with terrifying purple-gold flames.
Purple gold flames followed the trajectory of the Flame Gathering Formation and gathered in all directions towards the Flame Gathering Cauldron in the center.
"call!"
Suddenly, a spectacular purple-gold spiritual fire bloomed around the Juyan Cauldron.
Without saying a word, Xiao Nuo immediately jumped up, spun in mid-air, and landed steadily on top of the Flame Gathering Cauldron.
Then, Xiao Nuo sat directly in the cauldron, with his upper body exposed and the part below the chest inside the cauldron.
Feeling the purple-gold spiritual fire coming from all directions, Xiao Nuo activated it, and an ancient green light appeared outside Xiao Nuo's body.
At this moment, Xiao Nuo was like a bronze statue being calcined in a furnace. The power of spiritual fire was constantly invading Xiao Nuo's flesh, flesh, and muscles...
Mysterious blue lines appeared on Xiao Nuo's arms, neck, face and other places.
Every cyan line contains extremely powerful explosive power. Under the operation of "", Xiao Nuo can vaguely feel that the power impurities in the body are being cleared away, and the remnants of those pills have also begun to be refined and absorbed again...
"How do you feel?" Tarling asked.
Xiao Nuo closed his eyes slightly and replied, "It can be more violent."
"Ha, this spiritual fire has remained in the bones of the Purple Gold Fire Beast for three hundred years, and it has been fused with
The demonic power of the fire-refining beast is not weak."
"Just come, I can persist."
"Okay, here it comes!"
The next moment, raging flames surrounded it, and the purple-gold spiritual fire in the fire-refining beast's bones was being rapidly drawn away.
As the reversal speed of the Flame Gathering Formation became faster and faster, air currents like purple fire dragons swirled and rushed up.
They were like ferocious beasts, trying to tear Xiao Nuo to pieces. ??
The space around Xiao Nuo was distorted, and a burning sensation spread throughout his body.
But Xiao Nuo remained silent, sticking to his will and activating the Body Tyrant Technique to convert the incoming heat energy into body-refining spiritual energy.
Slowly, the cyan lines on Xiao Nuo's body are changing color.
The cyan lines are getting darker, and then taking on a special dark golden color.
"It's not enough..." Xiao Nuo's voice was firm, and his will became stronger and stronger. "I can carry more..."
"Bang!"
Then, the 100-meter-long skeleton of the purple gold refining fire beast ignited, and a spectacular flame storm enveloped the entire Taoist platform.
The flame-gathering cauldron outside Xiao Nuo's body showed a color like magma. Xiao Nuo was impartial, like an old monk in meditation, carrying the spirit fire tempered body.
…
at the same time.
In an underground palace under the Valley of Erosion.
Several young figures in gorgeous robes came back with loads of food.
"We are so lucky. I didn't expect that we accidentally stumbled upon it and found the cave of 'Taoist Di You' at the bottom of the Valley of Erosion!"
A young man said with a little pride.
Another person followed and said, "Hey, what is the little thing you got? Only what Senior Brother Cheng Leng and Senior Sister Lan Shan get can be called treasures."
"Really? Senior Brother Cheng Leng, Senior Sister Lan Shan, what have you got?" the man asked curiously.
A man and a woman walking in front of the team stopped for a moment and looked at each other. The woman named Lan Shan smiled lightly and said, "What I got is the 'Five Elements Lotus', and what Cheng Leng found is the 'Cloud Staff of Truth'"
'."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces suddenly showed a look of envy.
"Five Elements Lotus, that was the magic weapon that made Taoist Di You famous three hundred years ago. It is rumored that five evil demon spiritual powers are sealed in it. Those five demon powers correspond to the power of the five elements. The powers of the five elements are mutually reinforcing and can continuously supply the five elements.
Lotus spirit energy."
"Is it so outrageous?"
"Yes, it is said that the Five Elements Lotus is the 'King' among the best spiritual weapons. If it is used at full strength, it may be comparable to the earth-grade spiritual weapons."
"Oh my God, this is amazing."
"..."
Seeing everyone's envy and jealousy, Lan Shan raised her slender eyebrows and said lightly, "The Five Elements Lotus seems to have been redone..."
"What?" Everyone was puzzled.
"The Five Elements Lotus I found is different from the one in the rumors. There are only four demonic powers in it, namely gold, wood, water, and earth... Only one demonic power of fire attribute is missing. But even so, I
The Five Elements Lotus I just got is also the best among the best spiritual weapons."
Lan Shan recounted.
Cheng Leng said, "I guess Taoist Di You originally wanted to upgrade the Five Elements Lotus into a powerful earth-grade spiritual weapon. In the early stage, he only completed the fusion of four demonic powers, and the last demonic power of the fire attribute was not sealed in."
.And at the last moment, Youyuan Prefecture was invaded by a large number of vicious monsters, causing the Taoist body of Di Youdao to perish, and the Five Elements Lotus became a defective item..."
Lan Shan nodded, "I think so too."
Others couldn't help but shake their heads.
"It's a pity. If the last demon power is successfully integrated, the Five Elements Lotus will be a truly earth-grade spiritual weapon."
"Yes! This is indeed a fly in the ointment."
"But it doesn't matter. Fire-attribute monsters are not uncommon. Senior Sister Lan Shan will still have a chance to make up for the last bit of monster power in the future."
"..."
Lan Shan smiled and said nothing.
"What about the 'Cloud Staff of Truth' that Senior Brother Cheng Leng got? What kind of weapon is it?" Everyone looked at Cheng Leng.
The latter glanced at everyone indifferently and said, "You still don't know? There are relatively few records about the 'Cloud Staff of Truth'. I need to do more research to understand its function in detail."
Everyone nodded, but the other party didn't want to say more, and they didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Only Lan Shan next to her looked a little cold. She knew very well that the grade of the Cloud of Truth Staff would never be lower than the Five Elements Lotus.
But it happened that Five Elements Lotus lacked the last piece of fire-attribute demonic power. In comparison, she was somewhat dissatisfied with this trip.
at this time……
Everyone who had just left the underground palace suddenly felt a surging heat wave hitting their faces.
Everyone's hearts tightened.
"What happened? When we came, there was no such spiritual energy outside."
"Let's go out and take a look."
"..."
Several people immediately ran outside.
Deep in the Erosion Flame Valley, an ancient Taoist platform was shrouded in gorgeous purple-gold spiritual fire, and the powerful flames looked like coiled dragons crisscrossing each other.
Xiao Nuo has reached the final moment of body tempering, and with the absorption of the last spiritual fire power, he can reach the middle stage of the ancient bronze body.
But unfortunately...
A group of uninvited guests arrived here.
When they saw the Taoist platform surrounded by flames and the skeleton of the purple gold fire beast with demonic fire all over its body, everyone was immediately shocked.
"It's the last fire attribute demon power..." Lan Shan suddenly showed a look of surprise.
The last ray of demonic power missing from the Five Elements Lotus is actually here.
Lan Shan was overjoyed.
There was really no way out, so Lan Shan ran forward without saying a word.
"Senior sister, there is someone inside!" a disciple reminded.
Lan Shan sneered proudly, "What does it have to do with me?"
After that, she turned over her hands and took out a magic weapon...
