Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 264 Fire Essence Grass

Tie Wu was cultivating in a cave in the rock wall. He had taken a strong water pill, but for half a year he was unable to improve his soul power level. No matter how he cultivated, it was all in vain.

However, in this natural cultivation environment, the level of soul power within the body began to weaken.

"It really is a place for cultivation. If I could cultivate here forever, I would definitely be able to reach level 50 within three years."

Tie Wu opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them, and surveyed the natural training environment.

The deeper you go inside, the higher the temperature becomes, and the better the results of your cultivation.

However, the interior of this cave slopes downwards, and the deeper you go, the more pronounced the slope becomes.

At this moment, Tie Wu was walking deeper into the area, and he vaguely felt that flames would spew out from inside.

Tie Wu enters the Martial Soul Possession state to maintain combat readiness and prevent unexpected situations.

"call"

After going a hundred meters deeper, cracks began to appear in the surrounding stone walls.

Tie Wu had just taken a step when he stepped right onto a crack. Instantly, scorching flames erupted beneath his feet, and the terrifying temperature made Tie Wu realize something was wrong.

"boom"

Having narrowly avoided the towering pillar of fire, Tie Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

These cracks connect to ley lines deep underground, and any movement of them will trigger a violent eruption of the fiery ley lines.

But the deeper he went, the more cracks appeared. Tie Wu even thought that if he kept going deeper, he would end up in the earth's veins.

Just as Tie Wu was pondering whether he should retreat, he noticed a spiritual herb in front of him.

How could a magical herb grow in such an extreme environment?

Tie Wu kept a close eye on his surroundings to prevent himself from touching the crack again.

"Millennium Fire Essence Grass?"

Tie Wu was overjoyed and immediately took out the wooden box, carefully placing the Thousand-Year Fire Essence Grass into it.

Wood fuels fire, and only a wooden box can preserve the Fire Essence Grass, preventing its energy from being lost or causing it to wither.

Looking deeper into the valley again, Tie Wu saw another Fire Essence Grass, even better in appearance and older in age.

A Fire Essence Grass is very beneficial to the cultivation of fire-attribute soul masters, as it tempers the soul power within the body and makes the flames of the martial soul purer.

If deep within the cave there were a ten-thousand-year-old Fire Spirit Grass...

A glint flashed in Tie Wu's eyes. A ten-thousand-year-old Fire Essence Grass might greatly benefit his Fire Wolf Martial Soul, and perhaps even qualify him to evolve into the Fire Wolf King.

Tie Wu had entered the library of the Martial Soul Branch Hall in the Northern City and obtained a lot of information about the Flame Wolf Martial Soul and fire-attribute Martial Souls. His knowledge in this area was definitely not bad.

Blue Silver Grass is generally considered a useless martial soul, but Blue Silver King martial soul may not be inferior to top-tier martial souls, let alone a super martial soul like Blue Silver Emperor.

The same principle applies to the Fire Wolf Martial Soul.

At this thought, Tie Wu's breathing became heavy.

If you are careful and don't touch the crack, you might get a ten-thousand-year-old Fire Essence Grass, which could cause your martial soul to transform.

If I possessed the Martial Soul of the Flame Wolf King, I would have the potential to be a true genius.

The thought of Ma Hongjun and Yan's battle spirits, and the absolute suppression that the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Spirit exerted on him, made him realize the immense pressure he was under.

Tie Wu made up his mind and set off into the depths.

And the reality was pretty much as Tie Wu had guessed: the deeper they went, the older the Fire Spirit Grass became. Every time Tie Wu encountered a Fire Spirit Grass, he would put it away in a wooden box, and as they went deeper, the number of Fire Spirit Grasses increased.

"This Fire Spirit Grass must be seven thousand years old, right?" To determine the age of the Fire Spirit Grass, one must look at the texture of its rootstock.

The thousand-year-old Fire Spirit Grass has a light red root with a fine vein. Every thousand years thereafter, an additional vein will appear.

The Fire Essence Grass root in Tie Wu's hand had a full seven lines.

Even a slight sensation of the high temperature contained within the Fire Essence Grass is enough to surpass the flames of one's own martial soul.

This further confirmed Tie Wu's suspicions.

In the outside world, even a thousand-year-old Fire Essence Grass is extremely rare, let alone one that is over five thousand years old.

Tie Wu wiped the sweat from his forehead. The temperature here was slightly exceeding his tolerance, and he even wondered if they were about to reach the ley lines.

Looking at the seven-thousand-year-old Fire Essence Grass in his hand, Tie Wu planned to absorb this spiritual herb, not only to break through to a higher level of soul power, but also to temper his own soul power and physique.
Fire Spirit Grass grows from this ley line. Absorbing it will definitely increase your affinity for the flames here, and perhaps make it easier to enter the interior.

Moreover, the surrounding environment is filled with rich fire attributes, which is very beneficial to Tie Wu's cultivation and can help him absorb the fire essence grass more smoothly.

He sat cross-legged in a relatively safe area and slowly fed the fire essence grass into his mouth.

As the Fire Essence Grass was refined, Tie Wu's entire body turned bright red.

"when"

A muffled sound came from within his body. The soul power level that had been restricted by the Strong Water Pill was released, and the soul power within his body poured out like a floodgate being opened.

The soul power level has been increasing continuously, reaching level forty-four.

In that instant, the surrounding temperature also became less scorching.

Having gained the qualification to go deeper, Tie Wu didn't delay and continued to head inwards.

As they ventured another hundred meters deeper, more and more cracks appeared, each filled with intense flames.

Are we really about to reach the ley lines?
This was the first thought that came to Tie Wu's mind, but it was worth the risk for the sake of the Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence Grass.

But as the cracks increased, there were fewer and fewer places to stand.

They even had to jump forward three to five meters to find a foothold, and they weren't sure if that foothold would collapse, given the many cracks around them.

"呲"

"Clang"

Sure enough, the collapse at the edge caused several pillars of fire to shoot into the sky. Tie Wu dodged them in a sorry state, while also having to watch out for other cracks under his feet.

His left arm was burned by a splash of lava, the intense heat of which was several levels higher than the flames of his own martial soul.

To prevent the wound from worsening, Tie Wu had to stop again. In this environment, and being injured by lava, the damage to the wound was multiplied many times over.

After removing the molten lava and poison from the wound, along with medicinal powder and gauze, and bandaging the wound, Tie Wu was even more cautious as he set off again.

Fortunately, this time it was a close call. Ahead, there were many fiery red crystals filled with rich fire-attribute energy.

Tie Wu's gaze lingered on the crevices of the crystal.

There were five ancient fire spirit herbs, not just one. One of them was surrounded by layers of crystals and was of extremely high quality. There was a faint golden line on the root of this fire spirit herb.

Tie Wu was overjoyed; the risk had indeed been worthwhile.

Take out the wooden box and collect the five ancient fire essence grasses.

But as Tie Wu's gaze went deeper, he realized another problem: this didn't seem to be the end of the cave; could they go any further?
