Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 409 Fire Phoenix Burning Soul

Liu Yu strained his eyes to look out, but saw no signs of a volcanic eruption. He said:

"Junior brother has excellent eyesight."

Han Yan chuckled:

"Comparing your eyesight to a cultivator at the peak of the Wood Element Divine Palace is just asking for trouble, Junior Brother Liu."

A cultivator who has opened up the Wood Palace of the Liver has a much wider field of vision than other cultivators of the same level. Junior Brother Ji's Wood Palace is already perfected, so his field of vision should be twice as wide as theirs.

Liu Yu scratched his head, subconsciously ignoring the fact that Ji An was no longer on his comparison list.

Three crimson clouds, like brilliant rosy clouds, sped towards Fire Feather Mountain. Along the way, they even saw other cultivators traveling as well.

Ji An frowned slightly, thinking to himself:
"Could it be that, like the Crimson Flame Wind, spirit creatures emerge when Fire Feather Mountain erupts?"

He quickly shook his head. The reason why Crimson Flame Peak was in that situation back then was because the sect was upgrading the grade of the main spiritual vein, and Crimson Flame Peak, as a branch node, was affected.

A quarter of an hour later, Han Yan vaguely saw thick black smoke rising from the horizon. Calculating the distance in her mind, she couldn't help but feel surprised.

This place is about 20 miles away from where Junior Brother Ji discovered the black smoke, while her field of vision is only about 10 miles, which is three times that of her.

Liu Yu was equally alarmed at this moment, and he also calculated the distance in his mind.

A moment later, the three arrived at the foot of Fire Feather Mountain. Liu Yu was surprised to see that quite a few cultivators had already gathered there.
"Why are so many Foundation Establishment cultivators here? I'll go ask them why."

After saying that, he flew towards the nearest cultivator.

A cultivator in the Chaoyuan stage can comprehend the mysteries of the fire element law during a volcanic eruption, so why would a Foundation Establishment cultivator come to join in the fun?

When Zhang Kun saw Liu Yu flying straight towards him, he immediately became wary. Generally speaking, one should keep as far away as possible from unfamiliar cultivators when they meet in the wild, otherwise it would be considered a provocation.

However, just as his tension arose, Liu Yu stopped and said:

"Fellow Daoist, what is so special about this volcanic eruption that it has attracted so many cultivators?"

Zhang Kun breathed a sigh of relief and explained:

"I hope you know that this volcano erupts once every sixty years, and along with the eruption of lava, a peculiar fiery aura will emerge."

This fire elemental energy is a higher-level resource than the essence of fire, and it is effective in nourishing the spirituality of magical artifacts or spirit objects.

The weapon refiners in the immortal city bought them up without limit, and they were worth a fortune.

The number of cultivators who have received the information so far is probably not many yet. In another day, you will see even more people flocking here.

The matter at Fire Feather Mountain is known to cultivators within a radius of several thousand miles; the other party must be an outsider.

Upon hearing the explanation, Liu Yu nodded in satisfaction and cupped his hands in greeting:
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for informing me."

He turned and flew away, while Zhang Kun watched his retreating figure, lost in thought.

Upon meeting the other person, he felt a strange sense of familiarity, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

After Liu Yu returned and recounted the situation, it immediately drew laughter from Han Yan:
"What great luck! My magical artifact desperately needs this."

A slight increase in the grade of a spirit item can lead to a significant improvement in its effects.

Ji An smiled and nodded, indicating that the Flame Banner desperately needed such resources.

The three of them found a secluded spot and waited for the volcano to erupt.

As darkness fell, cultivators continued to arrive in droves.

A thought suddenly struck Zhang Kun, and he immediately began looking around, searching for the familiar-looking outsider.

When he found Liu Yu, his heart started pounding involuntarily.

"That's the face. No mistake, this is the foreign cultivator the Enforcement Hall of Golden Lion Ridge Immortal City searched for several years ago."

He was a member of the Enforcement Hall, which is why he knew about this unannounced bounty.

He quickly averted his gaze, then glanced at it carefully again after a while, and he was completely certain of what he had been looking for.

The thought of receiving a substantial reward for providing clues greatly diminished the allure of the fiery aura to him.

He piloted his flying shuttle and quickly flew towards the Immortal City.

The next day at noon, the scorching sun beat down on the earth.

More and more black smoke was erupting from the volcano, mixed with a lot of sparks, and the smell of rotten eggs filled the air.

Ji An felt the turbulent pulse of the earth beneath his feet and laughed:

"The lava will inevitably erupt within half an hour."

Having witnessed several eruptions of Chiyan Peak, he has a thorough understanding of the state of a volcano before it erupts.

Han Yan was somewhat skeptical and asked:
How did you determine that?

Ji An revealed a mysterious smile, "It's an intuition. Crimson Flame Peak has erupted several times. I have experience in this area."

As he spoke, he summoned the Flame Banner, which transformed into a palm-sized cloud of fire that surrounded him.

When the volcano erupts, the magical artifact will automatically step forward to absorb the fiery energy.

Seeing his confidence, Han Yan and the other person also summoned their own magical artifacts.

Liu Yu looked at the two top-grade spiritual artifacts dangling around him and sighed:

"After returning to the sect, I must ask Senior Brother Zhu to refine a top-grade spiritual weapon."

He realized that he was far behind his fellow disciples; his spiritual weapon was still only a mid-grade second-tier weapon, several levels below.

A few years ago, if he had possessed a top-grade spiritual artifact, those Earthly Fiend Sect cultivators would likely have all perished. Ji An looked up at the mountaintop and said:

"Let's ride the clouds and get closer to the crater, where the fiery aura will be even stronger."

"go!"

The three rode on clouds and saw that it was a cultivator in the Chaoyuan stage who was coming. The other cultivators all made way for them.

Moments later, the volcano erupted as expected, sending up a towering pillar of fire that instantly burst forth with flames and a dazzling crimson glow.

The flaming banner, rising from the ground, transformed into a fire phoenix, gracefully soaring through the air.

Details can already be seen on its feathers, a sign that its spirituality has reached a certain level.

The Sun-Swallowing Pearl transformed into a golden sun, periodically flashing bright and dark. The fiery energy seemed to be mysteriously summoned, surging towards it.

The Fiery Golden Wheel spun rapidly, like a hurricane, drawing in the fiery energy as well, though its range was much smaller than that of the Sun-Swallowing Pearl.

Ji An narrowed his eyes slightly, his mind sinking into his dantian to connect with the stone tortoise. He saw that the Daoist aura of fire and earth elements had increased to a certain extent, which pleased him greatly.

He now vaguely understands why the stone tortoise poured all its Daoist spiritual energy into the gourd world, because the core of that world is not stable.

If it weren't for Shi Gui's continued investment, that space might have already collapsed.

If the core of the world collapses, the space it nurtures will inevitably be annihilated, and if that happens, he will be the first victim.

Sang Chen rode on a golden auspicious cloud and flew away at the fastest speed he could. Standing beside him were Zhang Kun, A Hu, and two Chaoyuan stage cultivators from the Golden Lion Ridge Immortal City.

His magic weapon couldn't carry so many cultivators away.

At this moment, Zhang Kun was so blinded by the strong wind that he could not open his eyes. He never expected that simply reporting a bounty mission would alarm a Golden Core cultivator.

However, thinking of the Golden Core cultivator's promise, he was overjoyed.

The other party said that if the target was indeed the cultivator he was looking for, he would be rewarded with one hundred mid-grade spirit stones!

It would take him several years of not eating or drinking to earn so many spirit stones.

With these spirit stones, he could buy a high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill for his child, which would further strengthen the Zhang family.

Seeing the distant sky ablaze with fiery red, illuminating the deep night, Sang Chen said in a low voice:

“Ah Hu, take off your Taoist robe and put on a regular one without any markings.”

He understood that the volcano had already erupted, but fortunately he would be there soon, and everything was just right.

Sang Chen was thrilled. In the past few years, he had not been able to find a target that met his requirements. There were several cultivators who looked similar to him, but their cultivation levels were all only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

He believed that the target might have already left Southern Continent, and this had been on his mind for a long time.

A few years ago, he placed a recording stone in the Thousand-Ren Mountain Range, but before he could go back to check if it had yielded any results, he was hastily summoned back by the sect, and the matter had to be left unresolved.

He happened to be in Jinshiling Immortal City on business today, and was thinking of going to the Thousand-Ren Mountain Range after he finished his business to see if there was anything he could find in the buried memory stones. Unexpectedly, he received some pleasant news.

Liu Ahu immediately understood his master's meaning, and quickly took off the sect's standard Taoist robe that could reveal his identity, and put on a black robe.

'I hope this really is the person Master is looking for.'

He sighed inwardly. These past few years, he and his brother had suffered greatly, having to go out every few months to inquire about news.

Sang Chen said in a deep voice:
"Don't rush to attack after encountering the target cultivator; warn me immediately."

He decided to capture his target alive, torture him severely, and then turn him into a zombie so that he could be used by his son forever.

"understand!"

The cultivators agreed, and a ferocious look flashed across Ah Hu's face. Because of this enemy, he and his brother had reduced their cultivation time considerably.

After the volcanic eruption ended, the Flame Banner flew back to Ji An's side, and a joyful phoenix cry resounded in his mind.

His mind connected with the stone tortoise, and lines of text appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

[Master: Ji An]

[Tao rhyme: Fire 1.6, Earth 1.2]

[Spiritual clues: Gen (艮) Spirit 125.9, Kun (坤) Spirit 125.4, Li (离) Spirit 178.6]

'Not bad, another profit.'

Han Yan said:

"Does this fiery aura have a name? I feel that the spirituality of the Sun-Swallowing Pearl has become even more vibrant."

Liu Yu put away the Fiery Golden Wheel, a wry smile on his face:

"If I remember correctly, it should be called Fire Phoenix Burning Soul Fiend, which is a second-tier spiritual fiend. It is often used by Golden Core cultivators to refine magic treasures or condense Qi fiends."

His spiritual weapon was only at the mid-grade level of the second tier, and it was impossible for him to use it as a prototype for his natal magic weapon in the future, which was a waste of such good spiritual energy.

His desire to forge top-grade spiritual weapons intensified, and he no longer wanted to experience the frustration he was feeling at this moment.

In fact, the Spirit Gathering Technique could be used to collect spiritual energy, but his spell level was too low, and he couldn't extract any spiritual energy.

He sighed silently and said:

"Now that we've received our benefits, let's continue our journey to the Immortal City."

Ji An frowned and said:
"Since this kind of evil energy is so precious, why don't we buy some?"

Most cultivators here don't need this kind of spiritual energy.
