The underground fire veins of Chiyan Mountain are connected to the center of the earth, so the fire aura is extremely rich, and the place where the aura is strongest is in a crater in the center of the mountain range.
Looking down from the sky, you can see the hot magma flowing endlessly, but the few red copper trees growing sparsely on the crater have grown very strong under the nourishment of the fire aura. It is obvious that this volcano has already
It hasn't erupted in a long time.
After all, in this red rock mountain, few people dare to provoke the fire ape, so there is no need for it to stir up the underground magma and lose its temper.
Qi Yuan asked Bingfeng to wait for him for a while. He planned to explore the fire spirit veins below to see if any other spiritual fires were born.
However, this possibility is relatively small, because even if a new spiritual fire is born, there is a high probability that it will be swallowed by the fire ape and used to nourish his natal spiritual fire.
But since he was already here, he would not be willing to go down to investigate.
After Qi Yuan went down, Zi Tong stood on the top of the peak, frowning slightly as he looked at the lava below.
She is from the Ice Phoenix clan and was born with an ice spirit body. Naturally, she doesn't like this place with fire spirit veins. Moreover, the fire spirit energy is everywhere here. It is very difficult for her to meditate and restore her mana.
Fortunately, Qi Yuan did not stay down there for too long, but he emerged from the Fire Spirit Vein in about an hour or two.
"How about it? Is there a spiritual fire born down there?"
Zi Tong asked.
Qi Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I guess it has been swallowed by the fire ape, and no trace of the spiritual fire was found."
However, this was within his expectation, so he was not frustrated. Being able to get a red flame black fire from the fire ape already made him very satisfied, not to mention there were other gains below.
This fire spirit vein has been occupied by the fire ape for a long time, and it does not know how to refine weapons, so many precious materials derived from the fire spirit vein were not wasted. Qi Yuan directly sacrificed the Chunyang Killing Sword.
He immediately chopped and dug, and collected many of the top-grade fire-refining materials below very roughly.
Qi Yuan looked at the fluctuating aura on Zi Tong's body and said: "Elder Zi Tong's injury is not serious. It's better to find a place to repair first. After you recover from the injury, let's hit the road!"
Now that this ice phoenix has defected to his Emei Sword Sect, he simply changed his name and called him elder. He decided on the title first and was not afraid that she would regret it.
Zi Tong smiled and said: "The reason why I passed by Chiyan Mountain this time is because a few years ago I discovered a Snow Jade Lotus that is tens of thousands of years old. I figured that this elixir would be completely mature in the near future, so I decided to
Go to pick.
If the sect leader is not in a hurry, you might as well accompany me to pick the snow jade lotus first. With this, my injury will get better in a short time."
She quickly adapted to her new identity and immediately changed her name to Qi Yuan as the sect master. After all, she would be training under the Emei sect in the future, so her status still needed to be corrected.
Qi Yuan nodded lightly: "That's fine, then I'll go pick that elixir with you first."
He was in no hurry to leave, not to mention that he had just taken Bingfeng into his sect, so it would be better to take care of him.
What's more, Zi Tong still needs to lead the way and take him overseas to collect the spiritual fire. Of course, she needs to recover from her injuries.
The hidden valley where the cold pool is located is not far from Chiyan Mountain. Perhaps it is the reason why things must be reversed at the extremes, so that such an extremely cold place was born not far from a land of fire spirits such as Chiyan Mountain.
The place of Han Pond is extremely secretive. The exit is just a small crack in the mountain wall. Zi Tong used the unique sealing spell of the Bingfeng clan to seal the entrance of the cave, so looking from the outside, nothing can be found.
.
The treasures of heaven and earth will attract some monsters to wait here. Originally, there was an ice snake with the blood of Han Chi guarding here. It planned to wait until the snow jade lotus matured to devour it, break through the shackles of the blood in one fell swoop, and transform into the shape of a dragon.
However, when it went out to hunt for food, it met the Ice Phoenix Zitong. Although there had been no war between the Phoenix and the Dragon Clan for a long time, they still disliked each other.
After Bingfeng discovered this place, he was of course unwilling to let the ice snake successfully transform and add strength to the dragon clan, so he directly killed it and seized this cold pool, waiting for the Snow Jade Lotus to mature and use it as his own practice
Materials.
Under the leadership of Zi Tong, the two went in along the crack on the mountain wall. It was very narrow at first, barely enough for them to walk one behind the other. After walking several hundred steps, the entrance to the cave suddenly became clear.
This is a cave with a radius of a hundred feet, and everything is white. It is the extremely cold air in the cave that freezes all the water.
Even with Qi Yuan's Taoist skills, after being exposed to the cold air here, he couldn't help but circulate the true energy in his body to shield the cold air from being invaded by the cold air.
When it came to Zi Tong, not only did he not feel any discomfort about this, but his face showed a bit of contentment, and the skills in his body were running, sucking the cold spiritual energy here into his body and refining it.
The cold pool is located in the middle of the cave. The water in the pool is clear, but no one can see the bottom. In the pool grows a white jade-like lotus, exuding a faint fragrance.
Just one breath of this fragrance clears one's mind and makes one's consciousness become sharper. It is obviously an extremely high-quality elixir.
However, Qi Yuan did not have any greed. He saw a lot of elixirs on Jin'ao Island. Even if he transplanted the elixirs into the Creation Thunder Cauldron, elixirs that were ten thousand years old were not uncommon. Of course not
As for having any bad thoughts about such a snow jade lotus.
Zi Tong glanced at Qi Yuan quietly and saw that his eyes were clear and clear. As expected, he did not have the slightest desire to covet him. He was satisfied in his heart and secretly rejoiced for the choice he had made. Only disciples of this kind of saint would face the situation.
You won't be greedy when you take the elixir of ten thousand years, right?
Although she was born into the Phoenix clan, because she was practicing alone and there were not many resources at her disposal, she attached great importance to this elixir, otherwise she might not have killed the ice snake in the first place.
The Snow Jade Lotus is a fairy elixir. Now that it has begun to emit a delicate fragrance, it is obviously a sign that it is about to mature.
In order to prevent the fragrance from leaking out and causing unnecessary trouble, Zi Tong once again sealed the outside hole with magic. After waiting for three days, the Snow Jade Lotus was completely mature. She directly refined the lotus and turned it into the final form.
The original ice aura nourishes Mana's body and restores injuries.
With the help of this elixir, in just a few days, not only did the serious injuries she suffered earlier have recovered, but her magic power was also much stronger than before.
She did not uproot the lotus. That kind of thing of killing chickens to obtain eggs was despised by Qi practitioners. Instead, she left the rhizome and let it grow slowly. Tens of thousands of years later, the lotus would bloom again, waiting for fate.
"My injuries have recovered, let's leave for overseas now."
After Zi Tong recovered from her injuries, her personality became more lively. She got up and led Qi Yuan out of the cave. She felt very happy when she thought that when she went to Mount Emei, she would no longer have to worry about demon kings coveting her spiritual treasures.
excited.
After all, the mentality of always being wary of others is really not conducive to spiritual practice.
However, thinking of her place of cultivation, she couldn't help but sigh: "It's just a pity that the cold pine where I live is a spiritual tree that has grown for tens of thousands of years."
Qi Yuan smiled lightly and didn't care too much.
In ordinary places, it is indeed difficult for ordinary trees to survive for tens of thousands of years. However, when he stayed on Jin'ao Island earlier, he had seen spiritual trees that were hundreds of thousands of years old. How could he care about a mere ordinary tree?
Lingsong.
I heard Zi Tong continue: "Speaking of which, the pine nuts produced by that cold pine tree taste pretty good."
"oh?"
Qi Yuan was more interested in what he ate and asked casually: "Does it have any special effects?"
"Effect?"
Zi Tong said nonchalantly: "To refresh the mind, lighten the body and strengthen the body, and prolong life, but these are nothing to those of our level, and they are only important to those Qi practitioners who have not yet become immortals."
It’s just a function.”
When Qi Yuan heard this, he became interested and asked, "Does that cold pine tree produce many pine nuts every time?"
"It's quite a lot, but I don't eat it often, so there will be a lot left on the ground. A few squirrels will secretly collect some while I'm away."
Qi Yuan coughed lightly and said, "I think it would be better to take that cold pine tree back to Emei. After all, it is the big tree where you have lived for a long time. It would be a pity to abandon it just now.
Furthermore, although Mount Emei has a spiritual place suitable for your cultivation, it does not have any very tall spiritual trees. If a cave is opened for you casually, I’m afraid you won’t be able to live there.”
When Zi Tong heard this, his heart suddenly moved, but he was still a little hesitant: "The cold pine is thousands of feet high. How can you take away such a huge spiritual tree?"
Of course she didn't want to part with the spiritual tree where she had lived for a long time, but she didn't have the means to take the cold pine away, so she had already planned to give up.
Qi Yuan patted the Creation Thunder Cauldron on his waist and said: "It doesn't matter, I have a spiritual treasure. I can take that cold pine in first, and then I can plant it for you when I return to Mount Emei."
"That's great."
Zi Tong was very happy. They, the Phoenix clan, were quite obsessed with mysophobia. The place they lived in and the food they drank were all extraordinary things.
It was not easy for her to find such a cold pine suitable for her to rest and practice. It would be best if she could take it with her.
Qi Yuan smiled softly. Although he was quite interested in the pine nuts produced by the spiritual pine that had grown for tens of thousands of years, the most important thing was to arrange a shelter for Zi Tong.
After all, she was born as a phoenix. If a cave was opened for her, she would definitely not be used to it. After all, I have never heard of a few phoenixes willing to go into caves.
Therefore, if the cold pine is transplanted directly to Mount Emei, there is no need to worry about where it lives.
After following Zi Tong to the snow-capped mountain where she lived, Qi Yuan could already see the cold pine tree from a distance without her having to point him out.
Sure enough, as Zi Tong said, this cold pine is extremely tall, with its trunk reaching a thousand feet high into the clouds. Countless ice and snow cover the branches, but this cannot hide its vibrant green color.
At the top of the cold pine, there is also a phoenix nest built mainly with ice spirit grass. A spirit-guiding array is also set up in it to attract the ice aura from the snowy mountains. At the same time, it also nourishes the cold pine and makes it more green.
Tall and straight, full of vitality.
It is indeed difficult to collect such a tall spiritual tree. It is only a thousand feet high above the ground, plus the even larger root system below the ground, giving Qi Yuan a headache.
After all, we can't cut off all the underground roots, otherwise it will be difficult for this cold pine to survive.
But after all, he has become an immortal now. Since it is difficult to uproot this spiritual tree intact, he can still use a stupid method.
First, he used the earth escape technique to sneak into the ground and pull out the part where the roots of the cold pine tree were connected to the underground spiritual veins. Then he used his great magic power to directly lift the entire mountain and put it into the Thunder Cauldron of Creation.
Nourished by the good fortune thunder water in the cauldron, I am not afraid that this cold pine tree will not survive.
…………
The East China Sea has a blue sky and white clouds.
A group of seabirds fly leisurely high in the sky. From time to time, a few seabirds rush into the sea water. When they fly again, they will pick up a plump fish in their mouths, which they swallow as a delicious meal.
Suddenly, two rays of light flew towards us at such a fast speed that the birds didn't even have time to dodge, and they collided head-on.
However, they seemed to sense some aura and suddenly flew around in panic. As a result, the chaos blocked the path of the two escaping lights.
Qi Yuan reached out to pick up a bird that had crashed into his arms in panic, stroked it twice with his hands, and couldn't help but praise: "What a fat bird."
There was a bit of amusement in his tone: "Fortunately, I no longer look down on the flesh on your body. Otherwise, if you had met me a few years earlier, you would definitely have been in trouble!"
With the soothing movements of his hand, the frightened bird gradually stopped panicking. It was gently tossed by Qi Yuan, spread its wings and circled in a circle above his head, and then chased the birds away.
Qi Yuan looked at Zi Tong and said helplessly: "Why are you scaring these seabirds? Be careful that the aura on your body will attract the dragon clan and cause some trouble."
Zi Tong stuck out his tongue slightly and said with some embarrassment: "I won't do it next time."
After all, she has just grown up, and she still has a bit of a girl's heart. Now that she is following Qi Yuan, a disciple of Jiejiao, her safety has been guaranteed, and she has naturally regained some of the naughtiness that a girl should have. There are many things along the way.
Playing with the birds flying high in the sky.
But now they have arrived on the East China Sea, which is the territory of the Dragon Clan. She is still not honest. Although she is not afraid of recruiting the Dragon Clan, it will still cause some trouble after all.
Qi Yuan looked around a few times and asked, "Is the island you mentioned near this sea area?"
"Yes, it should be around here."
Zi Tong nodded in response, and then said: "I followed my elders and went overseas once a thousand years ago. There was water everywhere here, and I couldn't tell the specific location.
But I remember the general shape of the island. If we look for it slowly, we should be able to find it."
"All right."
Qi Yuan shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to do so.
However, he always felt that this sea area looked familiar, as if he had been here before.
However, the sea and sky are all the same here, and there are no islands for him to refer to, so he can't tell whether he has never been here before.
Besides, he used to run around the East China Sea looking for various ingredients, and even went to the Dragon Palace several times. Even if he had been there, there was nothing unusual about it.
Just after the two of them left in the Escape Light, a whirlpool suddenly surged under the sea, and then a figure rushed out.
This figure is tall and slender, with long hair hanging loosely, full of wild aura.
He sniffed his nose and frowned strangely: "Strange, why is the aura of the Phoenix clan appearing here?
Well, there is another breath, this seems to be..."
Suddenly, under his long and disheveled hair, his narrow eyes opened suddenly, and he turned to look in the direction in which Qi Yuan and his two men were leaving. The light outside him flashed and they chased after them.
