After Liu Minglue heard this, he was naturally very surprised, so he separated from Zangxuan and quietly returned to the pit.
After a flash, the Bone Scorpion jumped onto his shoulder.
Liu Ming followed the Bone Scorpion's instructions and used the art of escaping from the ground, diving down more than a hundred feet from the original location of the cauldron.
His expression suddenly changed, and after a moment, his body lightened up, and he appeared in a spherical space about ten feet in size. The soil here seemed to have been dug up by humans, and the inner wall was very smooth.
And in the center of the space, there was a fist-sized dark red light group floating, flickering slightly. There seemed to be something hidden inside, and there was a faint flash of light.
Liu Ming narrowed his eyes and focused on the spherical light group.
"Just...it's...it..." The bone scorpion on the shoulder suddenly made a vague girlish voice.
He immediately made a seal with one hand and swept away his huge mental power. However, he was separated by the light group and could not detect what was inside. However, the energy contained in the light group itself seemed to be very mild and should be harmless.
thing.
After Liu Ming frowned, he grabbed the air with one hand and caught the light group in his hand. After rubbing his hands again, the red light immediately dispersed, revealing what was inside.
"This is……"
He saw clearly what was inside, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Between his hands, there was a ball of three-color lamp flame floating, and a silver elixir was wrapped in the lamp flame.
The elixir rotates slowly in the center of the lamp flame. Every time it rotates, the three-color lamp flame shrinks and flickers. It is as if a heart is expanding and contracting.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that there were three unusually thin and twisted golden lines on the surface of the silver elixir. They were squirming slightly on the surface of the silver elixir like living creatures.
Liu Ming was overjoyed. Although he still didn't know what this elixir was, it looked like it was nothing ordinary. It was a great opportunity for him to get it.
After praising the Bone Scorpion through a message, he immediately took out a jade box and carefully put the silver elixir and the three-color lamp flame into the jade box.
I saw that the elixir was trembling in the box as if it was spiritual, and the three-color flames flashed on the surface, as if it might be shot out from inside at any time.
A trace of surprise flashed in Liu Ming's eyes, and he immediately closed the lid of the box. He took out a light yellow talisman, slapped it on the jade box, and then safely put it into the Xumi snail.
After doing all this, he immediately searched the area again, and after confirming that there was nothing missing, he escaped from the ground with a flash of yellow light on his body, and with a flicker of the figure, he disappeared directly into the nearby fire cloud.
There was no trace.
After a meal.
In a cave underground in the canyon, this place goes deep into the ground and is filled with light red mist.
In the deepest part of the cave, an underground magma river flows slowly.
On the reddish red rock ground surrounding the river, there were seven or eight green gleaming plants, which were apparently some slender spiritual grasses growing here.
This spiritual grass is only half a foot tall. It is shaped like a Ganoderma lucidum, but its appearance is bright green.
Being able to survive in such an environment is certainly not an ordinary thing.
"Jinlinzhi!" Liu Ming recognized this thing at a glance. Before setting off, he specifically checked some of the Taiqing Sect's classics on medicinal materials, which recorded this kind of spiritual grass. It is a kind of fire-attribute elixir that can be refined.
High-end materials are valuable.
Liu Ming picked all these spiritual herbs with a look of joy on his face. He put them in jade boxes and searched again in the cave. Unfortunately, he found no other spiritual objects.
…
Half an hour later.
On a mountain wall filled with red mist somewhere in the canyon, a green light flashed, revealing Liu Ming's figure.
At this moment, he was holding a piece of dark red ore about the size of a head in his arms. It was covered with purple lines like spider webs, which flickered on and off, making it look a bit strange.
"Purple Sunstone, I didn't expect to find such a big piece here." Liu Ming murmured, unable to hide the joy on his face.
Ziyang stone is an extremely rare weapon-refining material. It contains the two spiritual powers of yin and yang. It is an excellent material for refining advanced cauldron furnaces.
And the reason why he is so happy is because according to the "Fire Refining Manual", when the Jiuyi Skeleton Shield is to be refined to refine the thirty-sixth level of prohibition, this item is one of the auxiliary materials.
After Liu Ming carefully put the object away, he swayed and flew away again.
…
In a secret underground cave, in a large red pit filled with red ore.
Liu Ming was covered with a light blue water attribute shield, holding a shining golden hoe, and was concentrating on collecting something.
On the inner wall of the pit, there are impressively raised cylindrical sticks, about the size of a fist, golden in color, and the annual ring-like patterns of trees can be faintly seen. They look very much like a piece of rotten wood, with one end exposed.
Outside, the other end is sunk deeply into the mountain wall.
This thing is called Giant Sun Wood. Its name sounds like a kind of spiritual tree, but it is actually the corpse of a giant sun insect.
The giant sun worm is a spiritual insect that lives in magma. It looks similar to maggots. After death, the body is mixed in the magma. After hundreds of years, it slowly hardens, absorbs a large amount of volcanic magma gas, and finally forms a giant sun worm.
Wood.
Giant Yang Mu is a product of the essence of living creatures mixed with the essence of fire. It is also a rare spiritual material and is extremely hard once formed.
Liu Ming waved his hoe, and after a whole meal, he finally dug out this section of giant sunwood that was as big as a child's arm.
…
More than an hour later, almost all the materials in the entire canyon were swept away by Liu Ming and Zang Xuan.
Not long after, there was a sound in the sky, and several rays of light appeared faintly.
…
One month later, in the unknown hall!
The teleportation array in the center of the hall flickered with light, and not long after, seven or eight figures appeared inside. They were Liu Ming Zangxuan and several other outer disciples who had finally walked out of the Little Flame Realm.
"Okay, these are the last people. This trial of the Small Flame Realm will end here." On the eight high platforms above the main hall, the yellow-browed old man from Fenglingyuan took out a bronze mirror and checked it.
After a moment, he said slowly.
Liu Ming and Zang Xuan immediately walked out of the magic circle. After bowing respectfully to the eight courtyard masters, they quickly walked to the high platform where Jiang Zhong was and stood with their hands tied.
So did several other people.
"Brother Jiang, according to what the Law Enforcement Hall said, it seems that these two disciples from your academy teamed up to kill the Fire Spirit King. With such strength, I'm afraid they won't be unknown in the outer disciples competition two years later, right?
"Among the eight courtyard masters, a short and fat middle-aged man glanced at Liu Ming and Zangxuan and said with a gentle smile.
"Fellow Daoist, you've received the award. There are many talented people in your academy. The two of them participated in the competition a little early. They still need to practice a little more." Hearing this, Jiang Chong replied with a yawn.
"With their age, even if they don't succeed this time, they will definitely have a great chance in the next two realms. Maybe your academy will have two more inner disciples." The short and fat man said with a hehe.
This time, Jiang Chong smiled and said nothing,
"Speaking of which, nephew Chen Dengxian also performed well in this trial. In critical moments, he can always make the right choice. He is like a general like Brother Chen Dao." Seeing this, the short and fat man changed the topic.
Then he said to Master Fengling.
Regarding everything that happened in Xiaoyan Realm this time, they naturally knew a lot about it through the mouths of other disciples who came out first.
After hearing this, the old man with yellow eyebrows said a few words of modesty, but he still had a smile on his face.
"Humph! This trial is just a small entrance test. What will happen in the big competition two years later depends on the competition between the old disciples." When the beautiful woman in red heard this,
But he said with a snort.
"So, Junior Sister Shao is very confident about the next competition." The short, fat middle-aged man said with a twinkle in his eye and a slight smile.
"Humph, of course you will know by then." The beautiful woman raised her eyebrows and said politely.
In this way, after the eight academy masters chatted for a while, they each left the main hall with the last group of disciples who appeared.
An hour later, Jiang Zhong led Liu Ming and his disciples back to the meeting hall of Piaohongyuan.
There, other new disciples who had already completed the trial and had been notified were waiting there.
However, compared with before entering, there are only about twenty new disciples left, and more than ten people have died.
However, Yan Mingxueyun was standing inside unharmed.
Jiang Zhong, the master of Piaohongyuan, glanced at the disciples, sighed, and then said slowly:
"Well, there have been many changes in this trial, and you have all worked hard. However, according to the rules this time, you must hand in three fire spirit cores every time to pass the trial, and because of the trial
Because of the increased difficulty, each person can receive an additional 1,000 contribution points within the sect as a reward."
Of course, none of these disciples who were lucky enough to survive this change were weak. Naturally, they had all hunted down three fire spirit cores. When they heard that there were additional contributions, they were all overjoyed.
.
Everyone immediately took out three fire spirit cores and handed them to Jiang Zhong. After listening to some words of encouragement from the old man Ge Shan, they all left the hall.
Liu Ming and Zang Xuan were about to turn back after handing over the essence core, but were unexpectedly stopped.
…
In a side hall of the main hall of Piaohongyuan, Jiang Zhong sat casually on the main seat, while Liu Ming and Liu Ming stood respectfully aside.
"I have heard from the Law Enforcement Hall that the two of you have performed very well in the Little Flame Realm. Being able to join forces to kill the Fire Spirit King has brought a lot of face to our Piaohong Courtyard." Jiang Zhong held up his hands.
He took a sip from the tea cup and said with a smile on his face.
"The master of the academy has given you the award. These are what disciples should do." Zangxuan replied respectfully.
"I heard from the people in the Law Enforcement Hall that the Fire Spirit King seemed to have broken through to the Crystal Realm at the last moment. The two of you were able to surpass the level and kill him. It can be seen that he is indeed quite powerful. You will kill him in the process.
, tell me again in detail." Jiang Chong said again with a hint of interest.
