Shi Mu was slightly startled. This lava pool was located underground, and Cai'er could actually see people coming from the entrance of the cave. This meant that Cai'er's eyes had changed again after she fell asleep this time, and she could now see through the ground.
After a while.
"Brother Shi, I have earned a total of fifty-six thousand spirit stones in the past three months. According to your instructions, I have replaced 80% of them with fire attribute spirit stones." After Yu Yi entered the cave space, he immediately took out a storage bag.
quit.
At this time, Yu Yi was wearing a blue brocade robe and was standing respectfully at the entrance of the cave. He no longer had the embarrassment that he had when they first met three years ago. This shows that Yu Yi has been living a pretty good life in the past few years.
"Thank you, Brother Yu!" Shi Mu took the storage ring and put it away directly, saying.
"Anyway, Brother Shi treats me well. Being able to do some small things for Brother Shi is something I would never ask for." Yu Yi said with a smile.
In the past three years, due to the need to maintain the operation of the lava pool and the Yinghuo Formation, a large amount of fire-attribute spiritual stones have been consumed, and they need to be continuously exchanged. In addition to the supply of Zhiyang elixirs, Shi Mu entrusted Yu Yi to handle this matter.
, and give him a certain amount of spiritual stones as reward.
After doing this several times, Yu Yi actually proposed to become Shi Mu's subordinate and be driven by him.
Naturally, Shi Mu did not agree at first, but in the end, he was just like Husse Lei, sealing a ray of his soul into the Forbidden God Pearl and giving it to Shi Mu, saying that he had suffered enough from the barbarians making things difficult and humiliating him in Chiyan City.
But when you follow Shi Mu, you can get care that is far better than when you were in the Ming Yue Sect.
Shi Mu knew that if he wanted to maintain the operation of the Fire Spirit Pool, he would have to take the time to draw some talismans in exchange for spirit stones. If he stepped forward, it would affect his cultivation. Yu Yiren was quite smart and capable of doing things. The most important thing was what he knew.
What should I ask and what should I not ask? I am very polite when dealing with people.
After a little hesitation, he agreed.
Facts have proved that Yu Yi did as expected. Not only did he manage things in an orderly manner, but he also brought some news from the city from time to time.
"Brother Shi, have you...did you advance to the Earth level?" Yu Yi looked at Shi Mu, suddenly a little stunned.
"Exactly." Shi Mu didn't hide it and said with a faint smile.
"Congratulations, Brother Shi!" Yu Yi said in shock.
"Haha, speaking of it, it's all thanks to Brother Yu's help over the years. By the way, have those transformed demon clans you mentioned done anything unusual recently?" Shi Mu smiled slightly and asked in a different direction.
Hearing this, Yu Yi took out a white jade slip from his arms and handed it over.
Shi Mu put the jade slip against his forehead, and after a moment, he took out a storage ring and handed it to Yu Yi, saying:
"I understand. You can take these talismans. Those monster clans will continue to keep an eye on them. If there is any need, I will come to you again."
Yu Yi took the ring, bowed, and turned to leave.
…
A few days later, Fairy Fire Residence.
Business here is still booming and looks almost unchanged from three years ago.
Shi Mu stood at the door, looked up at the sign, and then strolled into the store, where an attendant in green clothes was about to receive him.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, what a rare visitor!" A middle-aged man in red robe waved the attendants to leave and greeted him personally. He was none other than Steward Wan from three years ago, but now he was dressed like a shopkeeper.
"Deacon Wan." Shi Mu cupped his hand.
"Fellow Taoist Shi is here. There must be something important. Please go to the private room to discuss it." The middle-aged man in red robe looked Shi Mu up and down, was slightly startled, and then said.
Shi Mu nodded, and the two of them went to the private room on the second floor and sat down.
"Fellow Taoist Shi has been cultivating in seclusion for the past three years, and now his cultivation has greatly improved. It's really gratifying!" said the middle-aged man in red robe.
"It's just a slight improvement in cultivation. Shi came here this time because he wanted to see Master Gongxi. I wonder if Master is in the store?" Shi Mu sat up straight and asked.
"Yes, fellow Daoist Shi, please wait here for a moment." The middle-aged man in red robe nodded, turned around and walked out.
A quarter of an hour later, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Master Gongxi, dressed in black robes, walked in.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, I haven't seen you for a few years. It's really gratifying to congratulate you for your great progress in cultivation." Master Gongxi looked at Shi Mu and his eyes lit up.
"Master Gongxi deserves the award." Shi Mu smiled modestly.
"It's said that you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do. What's the matter with Fellow Taoist Shi coming to see me this time?" Master Gongxi asked straight to the point after sitting down.
"I would like to ask the master to refine a glove for me that can block the fire attribute spiritual power." Shi Mu said.
"Sealing gloves?" Master Gongxi raised his eyebrows and said.
"To be honest, the technique that Shi practices is somewhat special, which occasionally causes spiritual disorders in his left hand, so he needs a glove with sealed spiritual power." Shi Mu said, glancing at his left hand wrapped in a brown glove.
.
After a small success in the Nine Revolutions Xuan Gong, it was so powerful that Shi Mu was overjoyed. However, in the next few days, he discovered something that gave him a headache, and that was the fluctuation of spiritual power in this hand.
Maybe, he still can't control it, and if he's not careful, he will show amazing destructive power and consume all the energy in his body.
In desperation, he had to find a way to temporarily seal the power of his left hand.
"That's it." Master Gongxi glanced at Shi Mu's left hand, thought for a moment, and nodded.
"It seems that Master Gongxi has already thought of a way?" Shi Mu said.
"I can refine this kind of sealing gloves, but in my opinion, the skills practiced by fellow Taoist Shi are extraordinary, and only the gloves made from human-faced salamander skin are the best. However, this human-faced salamander skin has been out of stock in the city for a long time.
That’s it.” Master Gongxi said.
"Where can I find the Salamander?" Shi Mu asked.
"This beast can only be found deep underground in volcanoes, and its whereabouts are difficult to figure out. Therefore, although it is not highly cultivated, it is extremely difficult to capture." Master Gongxi said.
"Then let's go to Shiwan Volcano and try our luck." Shi Mu said.
After Shi Mu asked some more questions about the areas where the Salamander often haunted, he said goodbye and left the city directly.
"Cai'er, the target this time is not easy to find. Is your magical power reliable?" Shi Mu stood on the Qingyi Speedster and said to Cai'er.
"It's a trivial matter, just leave it to me!" Cai'er was full of confidence.
Shi Mu nodded, and with a movement of his right hand, the Green Wing Speedster turned into a blue rainbow and headed towards the depths of the volcanoes.
…
Less than half an hour later.
With a flash of green light, Shi Mu stopped over a low volcano community. In front of him was one of the areas where the Salamander often appeared.
"Stone, be careful. The lava here is very turbulent and may explode at any time." Cai'er looked at the ground ahead and said.
Shi Mu's brows moved. A lot of black solidified objects could be seen on the ground ahead, and they were still emitting hot air. They should be the volcanic lava that had just erupted.
Boom!
As soon as Cai'er finished speaking, there was a thunderous sound on the ground below, the ground rumbled and shook, and a thick pillar of lava erupted from a crater. Hot lava splashed all over the sky and rained down.
Fortunately, the lava was still some distance away from Shi Mu and the others, so it did not reach them.
The eruption of the lava pillar lasted only a short time and stopped after a few breaths.
Before all the rain of lava fell from the sky, another pillar of lava erupted from a crater on the other side.
Among the low volcanic communities, streams of lava erupted from time to time, rising and falling erratically.
This scene lasted for more than half an hour before gradually stopping, but one or two lava pillars still rose from time to time.
"Shitou, this place is really dangerous. No wonder the old man Gongxi said that the human-faced salamander is difficult to catch!" Cai'er seemed startled and looked at Shi Mu.
"It doesn't matter, we should be fine if we are careful." Shi Mu said, waving his hand to put away the Green Wing Speedster. At the same time, a red light flashed from behind, and two huge fire wings appeared.
The fire wings shook, and Shi Mu's body flew forward.
"Shitou, wait a minute, I'm not ready yet." Cai'er shouted in panic, clutching Shi Mu's clothes tightly with her claws.
Shi Mu ignored Cai'er's cry at all. He flapped his fire wings and moved his body extremely flexibly through the volcanoes. At the same time, his consciousness spread and spread downwards.
"Shitou, be careful of the crater on the left and the right..." Cai'er squatted on Shi Mu's shoulder and yelled.
The volcanic lava was like sharp swords thrust out from the ground from time to time. However, Shi Mu followed Cai'er's prompts and coupled with the flexibility of Fire Wings, he easily avoided the sudden lava pillars and quickly flew deep into the volcano community.
at.
Cai'er was a little panicked at first, but gradually calmed down. While predicting the eruption of volcanic lava, the white light in her eyes expanded and contracted, looking for traces of the human-faced salamander.
"Stone, the target is found seven or eight feet underground in front of you on the left!" Cai'er suddenly shouted.
Shi Mu's face lit up, his body stopped in mid-air, his eyes looked in the direction Cai'er was pointing, and he opened the connected field of vision.
The ground became translucent in his eyes. Deep underground, a lizard two to three feet in size slid its limbs and moved quickly underground, like a fish swimming in the water.
The lizard's entire body is red in color, and there are black patterns on its head that, when combined, vaguely form a human face.
Shi Mu flipped his hand, a red light flashed in his hand, and a red long bow half a man's height appeared. The bow string was also red, as thick as a little finger. The entire bow body was engraved with runes, exuding powerful spiritual power.
fluctuation.
This object is the Sky-Breaking Bow that has advanced to the level of a spiritual weapon. Because the materials used are extremely good, the fluctuations of spiritual power it emits are impressively superior to those of lower-grade spiritual weapons, and have already reached the level of mid-grade spiritual weapons.
Shi Mu did not take out the arrow. He held the bow with one hand and pulled the bow string with the other hand, and stretched the bow to the full moon.
Rays of red light emerged from the sky-breaking bow, condensing into a red flame arrow as thick as an arm, aiming at the human-faced salamander deep in the ground below.
Deep underground, the Salamander seemed to feel something, and his body suddenly burrowed underground.
Shi Mu sneered, and the flaming arrow shot out and submerged into the ground in a flash, leaving a dark hole in the ground.
The next moment, a scream came from deep underground.
…
More than ten days later, the fairy fire took up residence in the side hall.
Shi Mu sat here quietly, closing his eyes and concentrating. Cai'er lay quietly on his shoulder, his furry head turning left and right from time to time, looking around.
The door to the side hall was pushed open with a creak, and the black-robed old man, Master Gongxi, walked in.
Shi Mu opened his eyes, followed the sound, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
