Under the cliff hundreds of feet, extreme cold and heat are alternating, and strands of ice and fire are spreading in all directions.
The two-colored spring eyes, fiery red and icy blue, are distinct but perfectly connected together, like two fish connected end to end, playing and turning in the lake.
Above the spring, there are vast smoke waves, misty white mist, and rolling white air waves, intertwining into a series of wonderful scenes, like a soaring dragon, a phoenix spreading its wings in the sky, and a divine bird crossing the sky.
The spring is surrounded by fertile land that has initially regained its vitality. All kinds of exotic flowers and plants are in full bloom, and the strong fragrance of medicinal herbs and flowers permeates the air.
But there are still many places that are bare, black with red or blue, or black with red and blue intertwined soil exposed, giving people a desolate feeling.
This is the Ice and Fire Eye in the core area of the Sunset Forest. Except for Ma Hongjun and Tang San, even Liu Erlong, who has the highest cultivation level among the Shrek people and possesses the Fire Dragon Spirit, still cannot stay by this Ice and Fire Eye for long.
.
Everyone could only stay away. The closer they were to the ice and fire spring, the stronger the power of ice and fire would be, and the less they could bear it.
However, this also means that the more abundant the energy is, the greater the benefits will naturally be if it can withstand the erosion of the power of ice and fire and refine these strange forces that invade the body.
But now, in this rare treasure land of cultivation that gathers the essence of the heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, and contains the beauty of all things in the mountains and rivers, no one is practicing.
Ma Hongjun was using the Blue Silver True Fire to generate a large amount of elixir, and at the same time he was pointing out a relatively safe area to the people who were waving farm tools and working hard.
"Everyone will practice on this ice and fire dividing line for a while. The power of ice and fire here is relatively balanced. If you feel that you can't refine the power of ice and fire that invades your body, go outside first and wait until it is refined before coming in. Otherwise,
There will be danger."
Now except for him who has no work, no one else, whether it is a group of students such as Tang San, Shui Bing'er, or four teachers such as Flanders and Liu Erlong, are all waving hoes, rakes and other agricultural tools, but no one is there.
is an exception.
"Brother Jun, are you too stupid? You even prepared farm tools for each of us."
Everyone looked dumbfounded. Even Flanders and Liu Erlong never expected that Ma Hongjun would be so well prepared.
Ma Hongjun curled his lips and used the Blue Silver True Fire to change an area to continue burning, and said, "Think about the resources you usually consume in practice, are they all blown by the strong wind? This place is extremely suitable for the growth of elixirs. You are broadcasting it now
The seeds I planted may benefit you again in a few years, or benefit future juniors. You see, even the dean, deputy dean, and senior brother Qin didn’t say anything.
What do you have to complain about when you are working hard to cultivate and sow the seeds? Do it well, the workload is not big, and you can practice hard after sowing the seeds."
Everyone was confused, and someone counterattacked, "Brother Jun, can you please don't misunderstand what we mean? Do we mean that?"
"Eh!" Ma Hongjun was surprised and said, "Don't you mean that? Oh, it turns out I wronged you. You don't want to be lazy. Then, let's do it well. Then who, it's you, little rabbit?
Hey, what kind of seed do you want?"
Everyone's hair was covered with black lines. This was obviously a way to squeeze their labor force, and they had the nerve to say that he had misunderstood.
Xiao Wu shrank her head guiltily, her little face was cute, and she quickly took out the seed that had just been secretly stuffed under her legs.
Holding the snow-white crystal tree in her hand, which was full of moisture and stained with black soil, Xiao Wu was a little at a loss. She had forgotten which side of the tree should be planted.
"Xiaosan, your seed? No, where should I plant my seed?"
Shui Bing'er, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Jiangzhu were also a little guilty. When Ma Hongjun turned his attention to other areas, he quickly took out the seeds they had secretly buried.
Tang San shook his head and laughed, explaining, "This is a cold elixir seed, but its nature is only slightly cold. Just bury it in the soil next to your right foot, which is exactly the edge area covered by the power of ice."
"Hehe, the mistress knows a lot."
Xiao Wu was in high spirits, raised the hoe in her hand, dug a small hole by her right foot with a pop, and buried the snow-white seed in it.
Tang San smiled slightly, not paying attention to Xiao Wu's praise of him, and comforted everyone, "Actually, when we were still at Shrek Academy in Soto City, we would often go to the medicinal fields to plant medicinal materials. Let's do our best, in a while.
The planting will be finished.”
"Xiao San is right." Dai Mubai agreed, "Xiao Jun said before that he doesn't want his kindness to give us the mentality of getting something for nothing. If you want to get something, you have to pay for it. For example, you
If you take an elixir today, you must go to the medicinal field to plant a seed tomorrow."
Thinking of the time when he was still at Shrek Academy in Soto City, Oscar looked nostalgic and echoed after hearing this, "What Mubai and Xiaosan said are right. Although Xiaojun is generous, he is also very principled.
This is the same even for Bingbing, if you don’t believe me, you can ask her.”
Everyone was surprised, is Ma Hongjun so cruel?
Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er waved the hoe for a moment, and said calmly, "Yes, Hongjun is just like that. So everyone, plant the medicine well. If you finish planting it early, you can go aside to practice earlier."
"
"Well, Brother Jun is really good."
"Yeah, that's admirable."
"Working makes me happy."
"I'm addicted to sowing and can't help myself."
"..."
Ma Hongjun didn't care about people's praise and pretentiousness. In fact, he simply took advantage of their free labor.
And whether it was Xiao Wu's little moves or Shui Bing'er, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Jiang Zhu's actions of secretly burying seeds in the soil, he and Tang San all saw it.
But they didn't say anything, and those medicinal seeds weren't particularly precious, so they just turned a blind eye and passed by.
Xiao Wu happened to catch Ma Hongjun's gaze and looked over. If he didn't point it out, it would be unreasonable.
This time when he came to the Sunset Forest to hunt for soul rings, most of the elixir seeds that Ma Hongjun prepared with him were not particularly precious.
Even if they waste a few coins by being lazy or playing around, they can still buy them again in the outside world, so the two of them don't care.
As for some particularly precious elixir seeds, Ma Hongjun is not without them, but those seeds are generally extremely precious and rare, rarely seen by the outside world, or even difficult to buy with gold soul coins.
Ma Hongjun handed over all these precious medicinal seeds to Tang San. Only the two of them could plant the seeds themselves, so they could rest assured.
When they left last time, except for Dugu Bo's one third, which was relatively good, the rest of the place was in a mess caused by Tang San.
It has only initially regained its vitality, and many places are still bare.
That's why he took this opportunity to bring a large amount of elixir seeds, and with the help of these free labor, the place was restored to full vitality.
Everyone continued to sow seeds in the medicine field. With Xiao Wu being caught as a typical example, and others who wanted to cheat and cheat, they all stopped thinking about playing around and being lazy for a while.
Ma Hongjun smiled with satisfaction and continued to use the Blue Silver True Fire to produce various medicinal herbs.
He was the only one among the people present who did not need to sow seeds.
Moreover, everyone did not have any complaints against him, but wished that he could ripen all the elixirs here in one go.
However, birth-inducing medicinal materials are also a kind of practice for Ma Hongjun. He repeatedly uses the Blue Silver True Fire to continuously absorb the rich power of ice and fire here for refining.
The process of consuming and replenishing, replenishing and consuming again, was like forging iron, constantly tempering and purifying the soul power in his body.
This kind of tempering and purification, which is like forging iron, has the same effect as his daily practice. It is the tempering and condensation of his own soul power.
Time passed very quickly, and most of the day passed by in a flash. The desolate areas around the Ice and Fire Eyes had all been buried with medicinal seeds.
Ma Hongjun also planted the fairy grass he cultivated around again, planning to take it with him when he left.
After eating the delicacies cooked on the ice and fire mandarin duck pot, everyone lined up on both sides of the ice and fire spring, sat in the areas designated by Ma Hongjun for them where the power of ice and fire was relatively balanced, and officially entered the state of cultivation.
Of course, everyone's cultivation level is different, their own situation is different, and the distance between their area and the Ice and Fire Eye Spring is also different.
There is no doubt that those closest to the Ice and Fire Eye are Ma Hongjun and Tang San.
On both sides slightly away from the spring, Liu Erlong, Qin Ming, and Shui Bing'er were sitting.
The attributes of the three of them are two fire and one ice, which are very suitable for the special environment here, so they should be relatively close to each other.
Especially Shui Bing'er, she has also practiced Pure Yin Wuji Kung Fu, and also has the Ice Phoenix True Fire, which magically blends ice and fire. Therefore, her distance from the Ice and Fire Eye Fountain is almost as much as that of Liu, who has the highest cultivation level present.
Two dragons.
A little further back, sat Flanders, Zhao Wuji, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Mo Ziyuan, Liu Qingxuan, Xiao Wu, and Tang Chen.
In this batch of them, except for Flanders and Zhao Wuji, whose cultivation level is higher than others, Dai Mubai, Oscar and the others are all because they have practiced Pure Yang Guiyuan Gong and Pure Yin Wuji Gong.
After that, there are Tailong, Jingling, Jiangzhu, and Huang Yuan. The four of them can be said to be the group farthest from the Ice and Fire Eye Spring.
However, this distance is relatively far, and there is still plenty of ice and fire power intertwining where they are, but it is just within their own tolerance.
Everyone else was practicing, but Ma Hongjun was sitting next to the spring at the Ice and Fire Eye, taking a nap.
After more than half an hour passed, he secretly opened his eyes and stood up silently.
Ma Hongjun looked around like a thief, not knowing what he was going to do.
Looking around, he saw that everyone was really immersed in cultivation. The next moment, he quickly took off his clothes and threw them on the shore at the speed he usually pounced on Shui Bing'er in Feng Qiuhuang.
At the same time, the martial soul fire phoenix spread out within his body, turning into golden-red light spots that filled the sky, filling his limbs, bones, and internal organs.
Dots of golden-red light were like bright shooting stars, blending perfectly with his whole body.
He wanted to take a bath in the Ice and Fire Eyes. No, actually he wanted to practice in the Ice and Fire Eyes.
The state of the unity of human and soul is an indispensable part for him to enter the Ice and Fire Eyes.
He didn't want to disturb everyone, so he walked in quietly and quietly.
After a while, except for his head, his entire body was completely submerged in the Ice and Fire Eye Fountain.
The intense power of ice and fire, which seemed to be irreversible, surged towards him from all directions, scrambling for the first place, as if they couldn't wait to enter his body.
"Huh!" Ma Hongjun exhaled gently. He only had one feeling now, and that was pleasure.
If he had to describe this feeling in one word, he would say that one word is not enough, two words are needed, um or ah.
Without taking the initiative to practice, there was strong energy that could not be transformed, rushing to penetrate into his body. This feeling almost made him cry out in comfort.
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed, and Ma Hongjun fell into a comfortable sleep as if he was soaking in a hot spring.
"call!"
"chatter!"
Unknowingly, the first person who could not withstand the erosion of the power of ice and fire appeared.
Fortunately, she couldn't set foot near the spring of ice and fire, otherwise Ma Hongjun and his brother would have been exposed by the beautiful young lady Jiangzhu.
Although Ma Hongjun's snoring was not loud, it was as clear and audible as a steel needle falling to the ground in a silent dark room in this quiet ice and fire eyes.
Although other people immersed in practice were not affected, Jiangzhu, who had withdrawn from practice, could clearly hear Ma Hongjun's snoring.
This surprised her. She looked around with her beautiful eyes, but found that she could not find anyone else.
Jiangzhu shook his head and called Ma Hongjun softly, "Brother Jun, Hongjun, brother Hongjun, where are you?"
She hoped to wake up Ma Hongjun so that he would not be discovered and punished by the four teachers later.
It's a pity that she failed, she couldn't find the person at all.
But she didn't dare to delay any longer. If she stayed any longer, there might be something wrong with her body.
Jiangzhu shook his head regretfully, and a pair of golden energy wings appeared behind his back, vibrating slightly, and flew towards the eyes of the Ice and Fire Eyes.
Ma Hongjun seemed to be immersed in a deep sleep, his body slowly turning with the Ice and Fire Eyes.
The biting and cold extremely cold Yinquan, the terrifying extreme cold, seems to be able to freeze the human soul to pieces.
The terrifying and blazing Yang Yang Spring, the terrifying extreme high temperature, seems to be able to burn everyone into powder.
Ice and fire were alternating, fiery red and icy blue light intertwined, and the extreme cold and heat were rotating, but he was not affected at all.
I don't know when, the flame mark on Ma Hongjun's eyebrows appeared.
That was the mark given by the God of Fire, but it was emitting a faint brilliant light at the moment.
A golden-red stream of light spread out from the flame mark between Ma Hongjun's eyebrows, spread to his whole body, and formed a thin layer of flame gauze on his body.
It was this simple and thin layer of fiery red gauze that blocked him from the extreme heat and extreme cold emitted by the Ice and Fire Eyes.
Ma Hongjun's expression looked very peaceful, as if he was sleeping very comfortably, and he did not look like he was in terrible and terrible dire straits at all.
He felt as if he had had a long dream, in which he seemed to have returned to the ancient times when ferocious beasts roamed freely.
There are large lizards with big wings and bodies as huge as mountains that stretch for countless miles.
Some of them are fiery red like crystal, some are ice blue like the blue sea, some are snow white and crystal clear like jade, some are all green like emerald, etc.
They are fighting with a group of inexplicable and majestic beings, endless flames of war are filling the air, and terrifying energy tides are spreading.
The earth is cracking, the mountains are shattering, and the vast sky is torn apart by terrible attacks.
The war lasted for an unknown amount of time. At some point, a fiery red and an icy blue lizard were killed by those inexplicable and majestic beings.
Their corpses fell from the endless and distant void. With a roar, their huge bodies stretching for unknown miles tore through the sky, pierced the surface, penetrated the earth, and smashed into the depths of the earth tens of thousands of feet below on a living planet.
