A daily divination, from family tortoise shells to immortal clans.

After exploring for a while, Chen Qingmo gained a preliminary understanding of the forbidden area.

This place was very different from the Hundred Spirits Secret Realm he had visited before; the sky was dark red and the earth was cracked.

He was in the Crimson Origin Domain within the Three Origin Forbidden Lands, where the air was filled with violent fire elemental energy.

The other two locations are the Azure Origin Domain and the Golden Origin Domain.

The former is teeming with life, possessing a complete range of spiritual energy attributes, making it ideal for cultivators to survive. The latter, similar to the Crimson Origin Domain, is fraught with danger, primarily utilizing golden lightning attribute spiritual energy.

There are many opportunities in all three places, waiting for cultivators to explore.

Chen Qingmo did not release the treasure-hunting rats directly, but instead walked alone beneath the extinct volcano.

This place is too dangerous. Even though the treasure-hunting rat can guide you, you must use it with caution.

He had previously killed two monsters that emerged from the ground, both of which were low-level, first-tier beasts.

After they died, a small, crimson bead appeared on their bodies, resembling a demon's core.

Chen Qingmo had received information about the Crimson Pearl from Zhou Tinglong; they called it the Crimson Essence Pill.

This pill is not a demon pill, but a treasure nurtured in a forbidden area. Using it to aid cultivation can enhance one's divine sense.

Although the effect is extremely weak and the amount that each person can consume is limited, it is a treasure to cultivators.

Similar things exist in the Azure Origin Domain and the Golden Origin Domain, known as Azure Origin Pills and Golden Origin Pills, respectively.

Chen Qingmo set up a small spirit array around himself and sat down cross-legged to cultivate.

He began refining the Crimson Essence Pill, and a burning sensation appeared.

The Crimson Essence Pill in his hand transformed into flames and entered his body.

Use fire as a hammer, and your own body as the embryo.

The spiritual energy circulating throughout the body is burned, and the spiritual energy purified by the Spirit Tempering Secret Method is refined once again.

"The Crimson Essence Pill refines one's own spiritual power; I wonder what the effects of the pills from the other two realms are."

Zhou Tinglong did not tell him any relevant information, saying that Chen Qingmo should explore it on his own.

A moment later, the Crimson Essence Pill turned to ashes and dissipated, and he opened his eyes.

Chen Qingmo's face lit up with joy, anticipating the appearance of the demonic beast.

But things did not go as he wished. Two hours later, he only encountered a rock creature that resembled a puppet.

After defeating it, no Crimson Essence Pill appeared, leaving behind only rubble.

"Treasures are precious; they are indeed not easily obtained."

Chen Qingmo sighed softly.

He was already very lucky to obtain the Crimson Essence Pill on his first day in the secret realm.

This is only the first day; he hasn't gone very far yet.

The chances of finding treasures on the outskirts are already slim; the further you go in, the more opportunities you'll encounter, but the dangers will also increase.

Moreover, cultivators have three months to explore, and most will take a trip through the Three Realms.

Two days later, Chen Qingmo had traveled a thousand miles.

He did not deliberately speed up his journey, but instead explored many places.

During this time, he encountered a group of family cultivators, but they glanced at him twice and then turned and left.

Most people won't make a move unless they encounter a treasure that others find irresistible.

Chen Qingmo ignored him and distanced himself from the other party.

He had already explored most of the direction the other party had gone, but there was nothing noteworthy.

"None of the monsters we've encountered these past two days have carried Crimson Essence Pills. Our luck is just too bad."

Chen Qingmo couldn't help but mutter to himself as he headed towards a small volcano.

He used the magic of the treasure-hunting mouse, but the mouse didn't make a sound at first.

As they approached the small volcano, the treasure-hunting rat chirped twice and then stared intently in that direction.

Seeing this, Chen Qingmo understood and went to the front of the volcano.

"Chirp! Chirp chirp!"

The treasure-hunting rat raised its paw and pointed to the entrance of the volcano.

Chen Qingmo's eyelids twitched, somewhat incredulous.

"You're letting me into the volcano?"

He used the Beast Taming Technique to communicate with the Treasure-Seeking Rat.

The mouse nodded in a human-like manner, its eyes clear and bright.

Chen Qingmo looked at the crater where wisps of white smoke occasionally rose, hesitant to make a decision.

Even with his strong physique, he could not withstand the scorching heat of the magma.

Seeing that its master remained unmoved, the treasure-hunting mouse kept chirping, trying to jump down on its own.

Why are you so agitated?

Chen Qingmo was puzzled by the Treasure-Seeking Rat's reaction, as it hadn't acted this way when it found the Tranquility Pearl.

Although the hexagram in one's mind is neutral, it does not mean there is no danger at all.

Seeing that the treasure-hunting rat was getting more and more anxious, Chen Qingmo decided to explore the crater.

If there is real danger, just use the Xunfeng Talisman to escape.

With this thought in mind, he no longer hesitated, put away the treasure-hunting rat, and leaped upwards.

Chen Qingmo arrived at the entrance.

The smell of burning emanating from the mountain pass made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Looking inside, the bottom of the volcano is a mix of gold and red, with magma churning and bubbles rising.

Chen Qingmo tentatively threw out a talisman, which exploded with a "bang" above the lava.

But the surrounding magma remained completely still, as if it had no substance.

Something's not right!

Chen Qingmo noticed something and then jumped onto a stone platform.

He released a wisp of his divine sense to explore the interior of the magma, and if his divine sense was burned, he would immediately sever it.

When the divine sense entered the magma, there was only a slight warmth.

Chen Qingmo continued to explore downwards, but was blocked after about several dozen meters.

"Is this the end? No treasure found. Could there be something more below?"

He recalled the matter of the Tranquilizing Pearl.

Unharmed by the exploration with his divine sense, Chen Qingmo was no longer afraid.

He used his spiritual power to protect himself and jumped into the lava.

The lava, which appears golden-red from the outside, now looks remarkably clear.

Chen Qingmo swam directly to the bottom and explored the area.

Suddenly, a crevice appeared in the rock, and he was sucked in.

A few breaths later, Chen Qingmo entered another world.

"Fire Spirit Grass, Flame Crystal Flower..."

He was overjoyed to see so many fire-attribute spiritual plants in front of him.

Although most of them are not mature, their large numbers make up for this shortcoming.

Just as Chen Qingmo was about to pick a mature Flame Crystal Flower, he was interrupted by a sudden fire attack.

The attack was weak, and he easily annihilated it.

A bright red turtle stared at him with wide eyes.

The red tortoise was about the height of its calves, and its aura appeared to be at the mid-level of the first rank.

Chen Qingmo had noticed it from the beginning, but didn't pay attention to it.

He frowned slightly as he was attacked.

After he left the Flame Crystal Flower, the Red Turtle turned and left.

Chen Qingmo seemed to be thinking about something, and then squatted down again to test him.

As expected, the red turtle launched another attack the instant his palm touched the Flame Crystal Flower.

"Could it be that this Flame Crystal Flower is guarded by a red tortoise?"

There are still many spiritual plants here, so Chen Qingmo doesn't need to get angry with a tortoise.

He walked away, but whenever he tried to pick some, other red turtles would stop him.

Within a three-mile radius, Chen Qingmo did not find a single unclaimed mature spiritual plant.

He felt somewhat helpless, but was also shocked by the sheer number of monsters in the area.

Just as he was considering whether to forcibly take a few plants and leave, a chilling aura appeared.

Chen Qingmo looked back and saw a tortoise nearly five meters tall appear out of nowhere.

Lava flows across its surface, and it occasionally spews out bursts of white smoke.

Its aura was even more terrifying, clearly reaching the level of a second-tier demonic beast.

Chen Qingmo dared not act rashly, as a demonic beast comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator would definitely be faster than him using the Xunfeng Talisman.

But the other person's eyes did not show any ferocity; instead, they seemed somewhat curious.

The red tortoise opened its mouth wide and growled softly, as if it were talking to Chen Qingmo.

But Chen Qingmo couldn't understand the beast language, and was very puzzled for a moment.

He quickly activated his Beast Taming Technique, trying to establish a connection with the Red Turtle.

Chen Qingmo didn't know if Chi Gui was willing to accept, but since the other party showed no hostility, he could give it a try.

A moment later, a voice came through the connection of the mental technique.

"Human, what are you doing in our Turtles' territory? Are you trying to get to the Lake of Burning Flames at the Earth's Core?"
