Different from the vast white snow-capped mountains outside, this place is protected by a large formation, so the interior is full of greenery, with all kinds of flowers blooming, which is particularly pleasing to the eye.
Following Yao Yuting's guidance, Lu Zhong crossed the path and came to a thatched cottage.
There is already a person sitting in the thatched cottage.
As expected, it should be Huo Yezi.
Before coming, Lu Zhong had never seen Huo Yezi's portrait, and he had guessed that every disciple must have a master. He should be a muscular monster like Yao Yuting, not to say as strong as a bear, but at least he must be muscular.
Big man.
But who would have expected it to be a little old man.
Looking at the pale-faced old man in the thatched cottage wearing plain single clothes and with no beard, Lu Zhong found it difficult to connect this man with the famous weapon-refining master "Huo Yezi".
"Fellow Daoist Lu is here. Come on, please sit down!" Seeing Lu Zhong's arrival, Huo Yezi put down the bamboo slips he was looking at and immediately stood up to greet him.
When Lu Zhong took his seat, a majestic maid came forward to pour tea.
Lu Zhong took a look at Lingcha, and saw that the tea soup was as clear as blood jade. When he smelled it, it had a burning sensation, but over time it turned into a cold, cold fragrance. His cultivation was a little loose, and his eyes lit up.
"Fire dragon tea?"
This tea grows deep underground and is made by being poured day and night by the power of fire veins for hundreds of years.
He never imagined that there would be Fire Dragon Tea here in Huo Yezi. You must know that this is a piece of treasure with a thousand spiritual stones, which is often marketable but priceless. In the past, he also wanted to buy a few pieces to try it out, but unfortunately he failed every time.
end.
Unexpectedly, I would meet him today.
"Haha, I knew that Lu Daoyou was a discerning person. Yes, this is exactly the Fire Dragon Tea!" Huo Yezi said with a laugh, stroking his hands and confirming Lu Zhong's guess.
Then, he showed a mysterious smile and said: "Fellow Taoist, you might as well guess which brand of fire dragon tea this is?"
"How many products?" Hearing this, Lu Zhong held up the fire dragon tea in front of him. He smelled it carefully for a while, then took a sip and at the same time activated his body.
There seemed to be a dragon's roar coming from the body, and the surface of the body burst into flames.
The fire fell to the ground and turned into flames, and the thatched cottage was ignited in an instant. However, the two people in the fire were unscathed, and not even a drop of ashes fell on them.
After a long while, the strange phenomenon on Lu Zhong's body slowly dissipated, and then he opened his eyes and said with emotion: "If what I have guessed is correct, it must be the eighth-grade fire dragon tea!"
Fire Dragon Tea is hard to find because it has a boosting effect on one's cultivation. Just now, he just took a sip and felt that his cultivation had improved a lot, which could make up for the hard work of the past month.
If you drink the whole cup, you can save one year of practice.
Fire dragon tea with such effects must be a treasure among treasures.
That's why he said it was the eighth grade.
Unexpectedly, Huo Yezi shook his head after hearing this. Seeing that Lu Zhong was puzzled, he explained: "Fellow Daoist Lu guessed wrong. This is only the seventh-grade fire dragon tea. To be precise, it should be the seventh-and-a-half-grade, not the eighth-grade."
…”
It doesn't matter if it's seventh grade or seven and a half grades.
After hearing this, Lu Zhong had vaguely guessed in his mind that Huo Yezi's intention of inviting him to meet him this time was probably related to the fire dragon tea.
How do you say something?
Yes, lure it to your advantage!
If you want to impress the Dan Jie cultivator, the most effective and direct way is to lure them with benefits.
I have to say that he was really interested in this thing.
Seeing Huo Yezi looking at him with a smile, Lu Zhong did not directly say what was in his heart, but picked up the fire dragon tea in front of him and drank it one sip after another.
A cup of spiritual tea, as he had expected, would save him a year of hard work.
Not politely, Lu Zhong took the teapot and poured himself tea.
After taking another sip of fire dragon tea, his cultivation still increased.
Seeing that Lu Zhongguang was silent while drinking tea and had no intention of speaking first, Huo Yezi finally couldn't sit still and had to speak first. At the same time, he secretly regretted that he shouldn't have brewed so much tea.
"Ahem, I invited fellow Taoists here this time, but I want to invite fellow Taoists to join forces to deal with an evil beast together!"
"Fellow Taoist, why don't you elaborate?" Lu Zhong reluctantly put down his teacup and replied.
Huo Yezi sighed after hearing this and said:
"Actually, it was a lava earth dragon that I raised. It lost control for some unknown reason a while ago. Not only did it destroy the sword-making pool that I had recently planned to build, but it also occupied the spiritual vein where the Fire Dragon Tea was located. Fellow Taoist, you don't have to worry too much. It's really
This happened too suddenly, and there was only a powerful monk like fellow Taoist around."
Very few people knew about Lu Zhong's killing of the dragon, but it had already spread widely among the upper-class forces. The outside world had already regarded this Bihai Sect ancestor as if he were a child.
"Lava earth dragon? Fellow Taoist, are you kidding me?"
When Lu Zhong heard this, his expression couldn't help but change.
This beast is the same as the water dragon. It is also a genus of dragon, but it does not have the dragon in its name. It is a rare monster beast that mutates from the dragon.
In terms of strength, the Lava Earth Dragon is especially superior to the Water Dragon.
Listening to what Huo Yezi said, the two of them were probably not going to fight with this beast in the fire veins.
Good guy!
This is really the right way to kill someone.
You must know that the lava earth dragon's innate magical power is the "fire-eating magical power". When fighting with it in the underground fire veins, this beast can continuously absorb the fire aura to restore its injuries.
Lu Zhong immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Sue..."
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Huo Yezi, who explained with a wry smile: "Fellow Taoist, you are worried that there is nothing we can do if we work together? Don't worry, I have been prepared!"
As he spoke, he took out a small aqua flag from his sleeve.
"This is my imitation of the spiritual weapon 'Chi Shui Flag', and the one-time magic weapon 'Xuan Ice Flag' made by refining it is enough to freeze the fire veins for an hour. For such a period of time, plus you and I are joining forces, why worry?"
Is this going to happen?"
"...There is such a thing." Lu Zhong secretly thought that he had miscalculated, but his expression did not change at all.
Observing the black ice flag carefully, he did feel a terrifying force of ice. Compared with the twelve-level forbidden magic weapon recorded in the classics, its power was almost different.
With such power, it is true to say that it is a Lingbao imitation.
Maybe, we can really rely on this black ice flag to seal the fire veins and get rid of the lava earth dragon's geographical advantage. In this way, the two of them will have a greater chance of winning, and they will indeed have a chance to win.
"Then how should the reward be calculated? A mere fire dragon tea is obviously not enough..." Lu Zhong thought to himself, what kind of reward should he get for dealing with a lava earth dragon that is so dangerous?
By the way, Jiao Po!
Hearing that Lu Zhong asked for Jiao soul as reward, Huo Yezi jumped up excitedly.
"Fellow Taoist, I just want to regain the lava earth dragon, but I have no intention of killing it! After spending so many years of energy and time, how can there be any reason to kill it to get the materials?"
Hearing this, Lu Zhong smiled and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
It turns out that you want to be convinced and continue to be a spiritual beast?
This is normal. A third-level lava earth dragon is enough to protect the family for thousands of years. It is probably that Huo Yezi saw that there was no hope for him to break through, so he began to prepare for his death.
Unexpectedly, it got out of control.
"Then...have you found the reason for the loss of control?" Lu Zhong changed the subject and asked.
With Huo Yezi's meticulousness in doing things, how could he still let the lava earth dragon lose control since he had even done something like Xuan Bingqi?
Presumably, there is something hidden in it.
Seeing Huo Yezi looking at him angrily, Lu Zhong probably guessed something, and it was probably that he was a kindhearted teacher and a filial piety disciple. He had heard similar rumors before, and he quickly said:
"Needless to say, I agreed to do this, but the reward is..."
One code equals one code, and if the reward is not appropriate, he won't do anything.
At the same time, I couldn't help but think too much.
Fire dragon tea was good, but the side effects were not small. It could actually disturb his mood. Under normal circumstances, Lu Zhong would not anger people by talking nonsense.
"You have to pay attention to this in the future." Lu Zhongmo thought, then looked at Huo Yezi, waiting for his answer.
Huo Yezi sat down again, and after recovering his emotions, he pondered for a moment before saying: "Ten pieces of eighth-grade fire dragon tea leaves, plus one refining!"
"No problem." Lu Zhong thought for a while.
I thought it was quite appropriate, so I agreed.
Ten pieces of eight-grade fire dragon tea leaves can at least be worth ten years of hard work, or even more.
But what he values more is actually the time saved by improving his cultivation level.
For Lu Zhong, who has four spiritual roots, this undoubtedly increases the chances of having a baby in disguise. He can cultivate to the false baby realm faster, which means he has more time to prepare for the birth of a baby.
"Since fellow Taoist has agreed to this matter, it shouldn't be too late. Let's set off immediately!"
Huo Yezi got up from the ground, followed closely by Lu Zhong.
Turning around, he came to a weapon refining workshop, the scale of which was the largest Lu Zhong had ever seen in his life. There were multiple fire pools inside, in which magic weapons were tumbling up and down, constantly being tempered by the earth's fire.
During the process, a craftsman adds auxiliary materials.
Then the fire pool surged wildly, and the magic weapon inside became more pure.
Lu Zhong even saw an eight-level forbidden magic weapon in a fire pool, and suddenly he couldn't help but think to himself: "It seems that this weapon refining is not as simple as I imagined!"
This is true for refining weapons, and I'm afraid it's the same for refining elixirs.
After passing through numerous facilities, the two came to a lava pool.
"Gudong Gudong!"
The pool was constantly bubbling, and after it broke apart, strong demonic aura escaped. It was as violent as a water dragon, but also had a hint of ferociousness, obviously coming from the lava earth dragon.
"Fellow Taoist, are you ready?" Huo Yezi turned around and asked.
"If we go on this trip and fail to achieve success in one fell swoop, life or death will be uncertain on the return trip. If fellow Taoists don't have enough confidence, it's best to retreat in advance!"
"What are you talking about, fellow Taoist?"
Lu Zhong had killed a dragon before and had a certain estimate of the strength of the lava earth dragon.
He believes.
Even if he is defeated by the lava earth dragon, if he just wants to escape, even if this beast has the advantage, there is absolutely no problem.
At most, you have to pay the price of injury.
"Okay, let's set off."
Seeing Lu Zhong's answer, Huo Yezi said no more.
He raised the Xuanbing flag and fired a few spells on it. Two blue lights were instantly emitted, forming an ice blue cover on the two people's bodies.
"This is a black ice shield that can protect us from being hurt by lava. However, this shield can only last for half a quarter of an hour. We have to find the lava earth dragon during this time."
He immediately turned around and jumped into the lava pool.
Seeing this, Lu Zhong no longer hesitated and jumped into the pool together.
Protected by a black ice cover, the high temperature of the lava is isolated. He does not have to waste mana to fight, and can move freely in the magma.
In lava, the distance of the spiritual consciousness is limited.
But he quickly caught Huo Yezi's figure.
Say nothing and follow quickly.
Since it is a world of immortality, there will naturally be nothing in the lava.
On the way, fire spirits keep appearing and harassing them. This is a kind of spirit monster born from the gathering of fire spiritual energy. After killing it, you can get the fire core, which is an excellent material for refining weapons.
Normally, Lu Zhong would have wanted them to come and go.
But now he needs to stay in shape to face the upcoming battle.
After all, the dragon is a dragon. Even if the geographical advantage is abolished, its own strength is still extraordinary, and it cannot be easily won.
Not to mention, Huo Yezi just wanted to surrender.
Lu Zhong picked up a fire Ganoderma lucidum and saw Huo Yezi rising suddenly and starting to rush upwards. He also accelerated his escape speed and suddenly swept upwards.
"Crash!"
Golden lava splashed, and the two people rushed out of the lava one after the other.
Looking around, there is a huge underground space, at least more than ten miles in radius. There are also multiple golden lava rivers washing down from above, and together they form a huge lava lake.
And right in the middle of the lake, there is a huge rock pillar, with a small tree that is all red growing on it.
Needless to say, this small tree is naturally the Fire Dragon Tea Tree.
Almost visible to the naked eye, wisps of pure fire spiritual energy are attracted and converge on the tea tree, causing it to continuously shine with golden light.
Beside it, a huge creature was crawling.
Lava Earth Dragon!
Lu Zhong offered the magic weapon and looked at the beast's appearance.
Compared with the slender body of the water dragon, the lava earth dragon is obviously much shorter and thicker, about eighty feet long. It looks like a stone dragon covered with sharp thorns, but its claws and legs are particularly thick and thick.
There is no doubt that it has extremely terrifying power.
Sensing the arrival of the two men, the lava earth dragon stood up and roared in mourning.
"Ho ho ho!"
The roar was so breathtaking that if it had been someone with a weak mind, he would have been deprived of his fighting spirit.
It's a pity that it is facing Lu Zhong.
Apart from being a little noisy, this roar had no effect at all.
Just as the two of them were flying closer to it, Huo Yezi in front suddenly shouted that it was bad.
"Be careful, it's going to use its fire-eating magical power!"
I saw the lava earth dragon plunge its huge head into the lava lake, and actually began to suck up the lava in the lake. Affected by the magical power, the originally shining golden lava lake became dim for a few minutes.
Immediately afterwards, the giant dragon's mouth opened.
A line of fire turned from thin to thick, and expanded in an instant.
It turned into a three-foot-thick golden pillar of fire and swept towards the two of them with overwhelming force.
The fire-eating magical power is really outrageous!
"I knew it!" Lu Zhong secretly scolded Huo Yezi. The old man had indeed concealed a lot of things, but it was very easy for him to dodge the attack.
Meteor Escape directly burns blood essence!
It's just a few times of hiding, and the loss will be much even if you don't double repair it in one go.
Suddenly, his escape speed greatly increased.
The fire pillar controlled by the lava fire dragon swept back and forth several times, melting grooves on the rock wall in the distance, but failed to hit Lu Zhong, so all the efforts were in vain.
It had no choice but to change its target to Huo Yezi, but was dodged by him several times.
After several attacks failed, the momentum of the fire pillar gradually weakened.
Obviously, the lava earth dragon's fire-eating magical power also has limited abilities.
If it could spit continuously, Lu Zhong would definitely turn around and leave without any hesitation.
On the other side, Huo Yezi, who had escaped the attack of the lava earth dragon, had yet to raise the black ice flag, but continued to approach the lava earth dragon.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, please hold it back. It will take some time for the black ice flag to take effect, so the lava earth dragon must be caught off guard, otherwise this dragon will inevitably escape to the lava lake."
Huo Yezi sent a message, and Lu Zhong didn't bother to argue with him anymore.
We’ll settle this account later!
Immediately, he formed a thunder gun and shot at the beast.
The thunder gun is very powerful. Even if it is hit on a thunder-resistant beast like the lava earth dragon, it can have a good effect. Once it explodes, it will create a big crater and make it howl in pain.
So it began to drink lava again and used the "fire-eating magical power".
It has to be said that the power of this move is indeed terrifying. If it is placed on the battlefield where two sects are fighting, it will undoubtedly be a huge killer. There are not enough people on the opposite side to be swept away by the pillar of fire.
Even if they formed a formation, they probably wouldn't have much ability to resist in front of this laser-like beam of light. It is estimated that the Nascent Soul Lord himself would have to avoid its sharp edge and not dare to resist at will.
No wonder Huo Yezi did not hesitate to use a "Xuanbing Flag" to try to conquer it.
While Lu Zhong was thinking, a shocking pillar of fire struck again.
With his last experience, he can dodge much more easily.
During the process, I was accidentally hit.
Visible to the naked eye, the Xingyang Qi on the body surface disappeared in an instant, which shocked Lu Zhong into a cold sweat. If it were a monk in the early stage of pill formation, he would be able to kill the person instantly with just one blow.
"Fortunately, the Xingyang Gang is strong enough, so it won't be a problem to hold it for a breath or two."
After a few breaths, the pillar of fire weakened again.
Seeing that Lu Zhong was unharmed, the lava earth dragon was so angry that it looked up to the sky and roared, causing lava to surge around it. Just when it was about to use the fire-eating magical power again, an extremely cold storm suddenly formed.
But when Huo Yezi saw that the distance was enough, he suddenly activated the Xuanbing flag in his hand.
"Hoo ho ho!"
The ice wind howled.
Wherever it passes, even hot lava will instantly turn into icy stone.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the lava earth dragon immediately ignored the fire dragon tea tree and wanted to plunge into the lava lake. However, it hit the rock formation firmly and splashed countless rock debris.
It didn't want to give up, and clawed at the ground wildly with its claws, but even if it dug more than ten feet, there was only a thick layer of rock.
Lu Zhong was secretly surprised when he saw this scene.
"Lingbao imitations have such power, so how terrifying can Lingbao be?"
Without thinking any more, he took out the Star Mirror and rushed forward. After all, if he didn't take action, the beast might really have to dig through the rock formations and drill into the unsolidified lava below.
far away.
"Hmph!"
Huo Yezi changed his body at some point. He no longer looked like the little old man he was before. Instead, he turned into a humanoid bear. His body suddenly grew to two feet tall. From a distance, he looked like a savage beast.
I saw him rushing towards the lava earth dragon, stretching out his huge palm to grab its short tail.
Give it a good tug.
Actually, he actually pulled out the lava earth dragon!
"..." Lu Zhong.
This power.
Is it too, too exaggerated?
"Fellow Daoist Lu, come and help me conquer it!"
"Subjugate? Can I beat him with a magic weapon or a spell?" Lu Zhong asked via voice transmission. Although he said he had body training, he was actually still a magic cultivator. He could not be as capable as Huo Yezi, who could pull out the lava earth dragon.
"Can!"
At this time, Huo Yezi was holding on to the lava earth dragon's tail to prevent it from burrowing into the ground and escaping.
Taking this opportunity, Lu Zhong directly cast the spell with all his strength.
Raising his hand is a "thunder marsh", which is regarded as an appetizer for this beast.
Immediately afterwards, the Star Mirror's spiritual light flashed, shooting out streaks of mirror light, which hit the head of the lava earth dragon, causing bursts of stone fragments to fly wildly.
What's the use later?
I asked Huo Yezi to see what Dharma practice with full power means.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Huo Yezi shouted heartbroken.
If Lu Zhong doesn't stop, the lava earth dragon will be killed.
He also didn't expect that Lu Zhong's strength was so amazing. He was worthy of being a monk who had once slaughtered a water dragon, and his strength was even higher than his own.
now.
On the ground full of craters, the lava earth dragon takes in more air and less out.
Streams of red magma overflowed from its mouth, mixed with an abnormal concentration of demonic energy, and soon gathered into a pool of water. This was equivalent to the blood of the lava earth dragon, which showed how seriously it was injured.
But in Huo Yezi's eyes, this is all a trivial matter.
As long as the lava earth dragon is allowed to swallow the fire vein magma, as long as it has its last breath, it can recover quickly from any serious injury.
This is the power of the "fire-eating magical power".
"Wait until I re-sign the contract with it."
Huo Yezi said, took out a golden spiritual contract and began to make a contract with the lava earth dragon.
Seeing this scene in the distance, Lu Zhong couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.
If Huo Yezi is attacked and killed at this time.
Wouldn't it be possible to...
Moreover, the power of the lava earth dragon is obvious to all.
The next moment, he gave up this tempting idea.
You have to have a bottom line as a human being.
In order to avoid suspicion, Lu Zhong simply flew into the distance and prepared to look around to see if he could find any spiritual objects. On the way here, he saw a sparkling light around the lava lake, and there must be a lot of good things there.
After a while, he was asked to find a fire ginseng.
The age is not low, more than 600 years old.
Red Flame Crystal, Red Snail Grass, Fire Ganoderma...
There are really quite a lot of spiritual creatures in this lava lake.
Lu Zhongcai searched for a while, and the total value of the spiritual objects and spiritual stones he obtained was over ten thousand.
Huo Yezi, who was signing a spiritual beast contract with the lava earth dragon, was furious when he saw this scene. These were all spiritual things that he deliberately planted to nourish the fire dragon tea tree.
"Hmph!"
But he was angry, but he didn't dare to interrupt Lu Zhong.
Huo Yezi knew very well that the temptation of a third-level lava earth dragon was not something that ordinary monks could bear. If someone else had come, they might have already started to rob it.
That’s it, that’s it…
He kept convincing himself in his heart not to get angry over some spiritual creature.
Suddenly, a stabbing pain invaded my mind.
"This is, ahhh!" Huo Yezi covered her head and rolled to the ground, screaming, and all her orifices began to bleed at the same time.
At the same time, the lava earth dragon that was originally lying on the ground suddenly opened its huge mouth, and a human face twisted and appeared on the protruding tongue, showing a sarcastic smile:
"Teacher, is my God-Destroying Forbidden Talisman powerful?"
