Swallowing the Stars Starts with the Brewing Master

Chapter 174 [Burning Flames]

The original secret realm, the ninth time and space.

In the ghost attic, Chu He was carefully looking at the red lotus platform in front of him.

The radius of the lotus platform is about three meters, and the outermost petals alone occupy two meters.

Each of these crimson petals is as thin as a cicada's wing, with thousands of secret patterns flowing and flickering within them, all connecting to the lotus heart circular platform with a diameter of two meters in the center.

The entire lotus-shaped circular platform has a translucent and warm texture, and is permeated with a blood-red agate-like glow from the inside out.

At this moment, Chu He's mental power was being withdrawn from the nine tiny holes on the lotus heart circular platform.

"Alas, can it only be used to breed fire-type energy life like the Red Lotus Clan, and to assist in comprehending the fundamental laws of the fire system?"

Chu He shook his head and put the red lotus platform into a space ring: "Although it is of no use to me at the moment, it is still valuable after all. I'll keep it for now."

"Afu, I asked you to study the stones required for the mission. How is your research going?" A wisp of mental power connected to the white jade wine pot.

"Master, I just brewed a pot of spiritual wine with the red flame stone, and I am comparing stones of several other colors to see what auxiliary materials are suitable." Ah Fu answered quickly.

"Oh? Have you figured it out? ... Great, let me try it first." Chu He took out a bottle of crimson spiritual wine from the white jade wine pot, as red as blood amber. "By the way, what are the specific effects of this wine?"

"Comprehension of the fundamental law of fire warms the body, and a little bit of life energy means that it can repair damaged flesh and blood tissue, no matter how minor the damage is."

"And," Ah Fu added, "Master, I named her [Burning Heart Flame]."

"Haha, you come just in time!" Chu He smiled brightly.

He was about to go to the Ice Mountain for a desperate mission to practice "Nine Ice Refinings" when Ah Fu brewed this bottle of spiritual wine, and he arrived just in time!
Especially this life energy!

But soon, Chu He thought of the red lotus platform. These stones, like the lotus platform, were all found by him from the Red Lotus Fire Abyss on the Red Lotus Star.

Some life energy is normal.

In the crystal clear crystal cup, the red is as bright as clouds, and drops of rubies are spinning endlessly as if they are burning with flames.

Gently shake the wine glass, and suddenly a mellow and rich aroma of wine mixed with a slightly warm breath goes straight into the nose.

"Good wine!" Chu He's eyes lit up, he tilted his head back slightly, and drank the fiery red wine in one gulp.

In just a moment, the hot, spicy, mellow... extremely warm taste explodes on the tip of the tongue!

But it stimulated every inch of his taste buds just right.

As the wine slid down his throat into his stomach, Chu He felt a warm current surging in his body.

Starting from the stomach, it was like a flame rising rapidly and burning wildly in the body.

However, this flame is a warm flame, not a burning flame.

The heat flowed rapidly throughout the body along the blood, shuttling between muscles, bones and internal organs.

At first, it's like the spring sun, warm and gentle. Then, it's like a summer bonfire, passionate and unrestrained. Finally, it's like the flames of autumn's harvest, mellow and long-lasting.

Chu He closed his eyes, feeling the subtle changes in his body, and his eyebrows gradually relaxed.

Having completed so many missions in a row for thirty years, all of which were dangerous, it can be said that Chu He was on the move almost every moment and had experienced many battles.

Although I don’t feel anything on weekdays, my body is more or less tired.

At this moment, this bottle of flaming spiritual wine brought him relaxation and refreshment inside and out.

He even began to enjoy this warm feeling and didn't want to resist.

After a while, the effect of the alcohol wore off and Chu He suddenly opened his eyes.

"Not bad! Really good!"

"[Burning Heart Flame], it's neither an explosion nor a raging fire, but the name is quite appropriate!"

"Afu, turn all those stones into this [Scorching Flame]. Give me a list of the materials needed."

"This time on the Ice Mountain, with the [Scorching Heart Blaze] and the Blood Red Lotus Platform, I can rest assured and use the most intense methods to practice the 'Nine Refinings of Ice Body'."

……

Virtual universe, primitive area, study on the third floor.

Several light screens fell down.

"Despair level!"

Chu He looked calm and reached out to click.

Instantly! "Drip—Drip—"

A shrill sound came from the light screen.

"Chu He, I solemnly remind you that this is a desperate mission. Once confirmed, there is no turning back and you must execute it."

Electronic sounds echoed in the study.

Chu He's expression remained unchanged as he gently clicked OK.

"drop!"

"Please confirm to accept the Demon Mountain training mission."

"Accepted successfully."

Magic Mountain Mission:

1. Survive in the Magic Mountain for three months and receive a reward of 10 points.

2. Survive in the Magic Mountain for three years and receive a reward of 30 points.

"Please fill in the departure time, and the Virtual Universe Company will arrange for someone to take you to the Magic Mountain."

……

Demon Mountain, located in the Primordial Secret Realm, is an ancient and mysterious place suspended in the void.

Unlike the [Xue Luo World], there are no humans on the Demon Mountain itself, but there are nine ancient planets around the Demon Mountain.

There are many indigenous people living on these nine ancient planets, and countless powerful indigenous peoples left their planets and broke into the Demon Mountain.

As long as they can make it out of Demon Mountain alive, they will be recruited by the virtual universe and become a member of the virtual universe company.

"Thirty years ago, I completed the first level of refinement."

"But until now, I've still stopped at the second level!"

"Although one of the reasons is that after the appearance of the Ice Pivot Concentration Method, I put most of my energy into this secret method..."

"But more importantly, it's because [Heavenly Tyrant Blood] directly increased my life gene level by a hundred times."

"Nowadays, the normal speed of practicing the 'Nine Ice Refinings' is too slow. I have to resort to some special methods."

Chu He pondered, his eyes falling on the specific information of the Demon Mountain in front of him.

The Demon Mountain has two sides. If you enter from the front, you will see the "Demon Sound Mountain" belonging to the Demon Mountain. If you enter from the back, you will see the "Ice Mountain".

Among them, the Demon Sound Mountain is vast and deep, with cold winds howling and accompanied by various sounds.

Some terrifying areas can even cause domain lords or even realm lords to lose their self-awareness in an instant and become walking corpses!

The Ice Mountain is famous for its extreme coldness.

Like the Demonic Sound Mountain, the temperature inside the Ice Mountain is not the same everywhere.

In some places, the temperature is so low that it can even harm the domain master or even the world master!
If you enter an extremely cold area inside an iceberg, your body cells and even your life genes may be frozen and completely destroyed in an instant.

Demonic Sound Mountain is mainly aimed at the soul.

The iceberg targets the body.

If it was just to complete the mission, Chu He would naturally choose Demon Sound Mountain.

With the "Ice Pivot Concentration Method" and the Ice Crystal Colossus clone, as well as a strong enough will, even an illusion that can make the immortal lose self-awareness cannot have any effect on Chu He.

However, after being reminded by Venerable Bai Feng, Chu He chose the Demon Mountain mission not just for those few points.

Instead, he hoped to use the extremely harsh and cold environment of the Ice Mountain, which was specifically designed for the physical body, to quickly practice the "Nine Ice Body Refinements".

……

Two days later.

The spaceship arranged by the Virtual Universe Company arrived.

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

Wolfe led the guards in bowing.

Whoosh!
The spacecraft's speed soared and soon left the ninth space-time.
