On the left side of the mountain wall of the Lianti Pavilion valley is a cave where the earth fire is placed. At this time, intermittent knocking sounds can be heard.
There are two mortal warriors in the Earth Fire Cave. They are both wearing fiery red cloaks. One of them is a bald man with a bare upper body and bulging muscles. He is wielding a sledgehammer and hammering something.
Although the other man was short in height, he was full of thick muscles. His body width was about the same as his height, like a strong meat ball. He stood in the distance and looked at the bald man nervously.
In front of the two of them, a huge furnace was located in the middle of the cave, emitting astonishing heat.
The shape of the furnace is extremely weird. The middle part is like a teapot, with eight long mouths extending out. Each mouth is different, the smallest one is as small as a finger, and the big one is as big as a watermelon.
A thick silver iron chain stretched out from the top of the furnace, looped around a gear on the top of the cave, and was tied to the bottom of the turntable on the wall.
In addition to the furnace, there is a gray rock three feet long and wide next to it. One of the furnace mouths is shooting hot flames directly at the rock.
Below the flame were three semicircular grooves, two of which contained two pools of liquid, one red and one white. The air above the liquid was twisted and obviously at high temperature.
As for the last groove, there was a fist-sized black stone inside, and the hammer wielded by the bald man was hitting the stone rhythmically.
As time went by, the black stone gradually turned into a liquid state under the hammering of gravity and the burning of flames.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man put down the hammer and turned a mechanism on the edge of the gray rock. A gap appeared on the edge of the three circular grooves, and the three liquids flowed towards an oval groove in the middle.
This oval groove looks very delicate and is filled with various textures.
The bald man's voice sounded like a bell: "Brother Guo, turn the furnace, burner No. 5."
"okay."
The short man stood next to the turntable. After hearing this, he immediately pulled up the handle. With a heavy creaking sound, the burner in the middle of the furnace first stopped spraying flames, and then began to rotate.
There was a click.
The flame mouth, which was larger than before, was aimed at the gray rock, and hotter flames spurted out.
The bald man said in a deep voice: "Brother Guo, help me by using the secret art of spiritual consciousness integration."
The short man walked behind the bald man with a solemn expression. His spiritual consciousness in the middle stage of Qi refining came out of his body, emitting a unique wave that intertwined with the bald man's spiritual consciousness.
After the fusion of these two spiritual consciousnesses in the middle stage of Qi refining, they actually directly reached the level of the later stage of Qi refining.
A few bloodshot eyes appeared in the bald man's eyes. He controlled the surge of consciousness and poured into the mixed liquid in the gray rock. At the same time, a pile of pale white powder was ejected from his fingers.
Then he raised the hammer again and struck it lightly. Gradually, mysterious miniature arrays were formed one after another.
"Separate consciousness, close the furnace!" the middle-aged man commanded.
The short man's muscles and nerves trembled, he withdrew the power of his consciousness, rushed to the turntable, and turned off the flame of the furnace.
The bald man quickly took out a talisman, and the iron bracelet on his wrist emitted a gleam of spiritual light, activating the talisman. A stream of cold mist rushed towards the gray rock, making a squeaking sound.
After a while, the fog cleared, and an oval-shaped object appeared in the gray rock, exuding a spiritual luster.
The short man came over with great excitement. He took off his cloak and carefully embedded the object in the center of his inner armor, right at the sternum.
He showed a grateful look, cupped his fists and said, "Brother Li's skill in refining weapons is well-deserved. I'm afraid it's even comparable to the immortal cultivators in Baoqi Pavilion!"
The middle-aged man laughed loudly and said: "Thanks to these two refining treasures in the Treasure Pavilion, otherwise how could Li have refined the spirit-controlling magic weapon with such secular blacksmithing methods."
The short man looked at his chest, his eyes radiating an extremely hot light: "Brother Li, I won't say any more, I'm going back to practice."
After saying that, he walked out in a hurry.
The middle-aged man was used to this scene. He touched his chest, walked to a place near the furnace and sat down cross-legged.
His name is Li Kui, and he is well-known in the secular martial arts world of West Mo Prefecture. His self-created chaotic wind hammer method combined with his natural divine power has amazing fighting power. Even among the martial saints of the Body Refining Pavilion, he is one of the strongest.
In addition, Li Kui can refine spirit-controlling magic weapons with the help of this weapon-refining furnace and the Dragon-Breaking Stone. Apart from him, only four other mortal warriors can barely refine weapons.
Later, by chance, Li Kui found himself practicing near the earth-fire furnace, and the tempering effect of his sternum was excellent.
However, other warriors did not feel this way. It seemed that his physique was very special. After all, Li Kui was born with supernatural power and his energy was 20% more than other warrior saints.
The immortal cultivators in Baoqi Pavilion are very busy, with heavy weapon refining tasks, and the Earth Fire Stone is in short supply. It is impossible for a mortal warrior to use it alone.
So Li Kui thought of a way. He approached the cultivators of the Baoqi Pavilion and wanted to take over all the refining tasks of the sternum spirit-controlling magic weapon. After testing Li Kui's weapon refining skills, the top management of the Body Refining Pavilion decided to set aside
An underground fire chamber was given to Li Kui to refine weapons.
In this way, while helping the warriors to refine the spirit-controlling magic weapon, he practiced beside the earthly fire. After ten years, his sternum had become the hardest part of his body.
However, according to Li Kui's judgment, there is still a long way to go between the sternum and the material of the instrument.
Thoughts flashed through his mind. Li Kui stuffed a spiritual stone into his inner armor and concentrated on practicing. But not long after, he opened his eyes again.
"What's going on? The fire-attribute spiritual energy is so active today, and there seems to be a terrifying flame power in the air."
Then Li Kui's face turned red and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked horrified and quickly left the Earth Fire Cave.
When he came outside the cave, he suddenly discovered that there was a huge underground cave entrance directly below the Earth Fire Cave, and the disciples of the Body Refining Pavilion flew out from it one by one, carrying waves of heat.
"It turns out there are caves underground, and disciples with spiritual roots practice under the fire stone."
Li Kui jumped to the ground and stood behind many disciples. He found that these disciples with spiritual roots had more or less burnt marks on their bodies, and the air was filled with the smell of barbecue.
"These disciples practice magic and their bodies are strong. With the heat of the earth's fire stone, it is impossible for their bodies to burn like this. Is there a source of flame more powerful than the earth's fire?"
Just when Li Kui showed doubts, the spiritual energy in the valley suddenly fluctuated violently, and everyone raised their heads.
I don't know when, in this valley where a large spirit gathering array was arranged, the rich fire-attribute spiritual energy gathered and turned into an astonishing spiritual energy vortex, rushing towards the underground cave where everyone escaped.
…
This underground cave is actually divided into two levels. The body quenching position of the disciples of the Body Refining Pavilion is on the upper level, and the lower level is a secret room about ten feet in size, with two figures sitting cross-legged in it.
Yuxuan and Zhao Xueer.
Yuxuan's body was naked, and the muscles on his face were twitching, as if he was enduring great pain. From time to time, a dark red glow appeared on the surface of his charred skin.
Zhao Xueer was behind Yu Xuan, her hands exuding a cold aura, pressing against Yu Xuan's back.
With the injection of rich spiritual energy, Yuxuan seemed to suppress the terrifying flames in his body. The dark red fire on his body gradually disappeared, and the terrifying heat in the secret room seemed to be under some kind of control and was absorbed into his body.
Yuxuan slowly opened his eyes, a flame reflected in the depths of his pupils, and there was a faint firelight in his eyes. A strong mana rose into the sky, and the unique pressure of the monks in the Danjie stage spread out.
Yuxuan stood up, feeling the skeletal magic power fused with the alien fire in his body, his body trembled slightly, and he murmured: "Ten years, exactly ten years, I finally entered the bone treasure stage."
Then he turned and looked at Zhao Xueer, his eyes scorching: "Senior sister, if you hadn't suppressed the power of the strange fire at the last moment, I'm afraid my flesh and blood would have been burned before I could refine the fire of the three yangs."
Zhao Xueer stared blankly at her somewhat burnt hands, as if she didn't hear Yu Xuan's words.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Xueer took a deep breath and said with a shocked expression: "Junior brother, just now the strange fire magic power in your body entered my hand bones and stirred up with my ice magic power, creating a terrifying force of destruction."
She murmured: "This energy is even more powerful than the annihilation power of the Blood Demon Bone Refining Technique..."
