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

"The fiery lake at the Earth's core?"

Chen Qingmo was confused and knew nothing about this name.

But he didn't show it; instead, he nodded.

"Senior Tuojiang Turtle, I have indeed come to find the Burning Lake at the Earth's Core."

The second-tier tortoise in front of them had clearly seen other human cultivators before, otherwise it wouldn't have asked that question.

"You are the second person to enter in nearly a thousand years."

"From my father's generation until today, I have finally waited for someone to come."

The turtle carrying the slurry sounded relieved.

Turtle-type monsters are generally born intelligent, and can develop sentience as early as the first-level advanced stage.

After breaking through to the second tier, it is comparable to a human teenager, but it cannot speak human language.

Chen Qingmo was somewhat surprised. It was true that turtle-type demon beasts had long lifespans, but that was also related to their cultivation level.

This tortoise carrying the sap is of the second rank, but it sounds like it's at least four or five hundred years old.

"What is it that you are worried about, senior?"

Chen Qingmo wanted to find out the reason behind the matter.

"Come with me."

The tortoise carrying the sap slowly turned around and led Chen Qingmo inside.

The first-tier tortoises nearby all avoided the area, looking into the distance and not daring to follow.

A moment later, the man and the turtle arrived at a red lake.

"This is the Lake of Burning Flames at the Earth's Core, something our race has guarded for nearly a thousand years."

The tortoise stared at the lake in front of it and dipped its tortoise feet into it.

The lake water surged back, as if trying to pull it in.

"senior!"

Chen Qingmo shouted, and the Tuojiang Turtle used its magic to separate the lake water.

Do you know why this is happening?

The tortoise carrying the slurry looked at Chen Qingmo and asked.

"I don't know."

Chen Qingmo shook his head.

"A dragon scale fruit grows at the bottom of this lake. It can sense when a demon beast steps into the lake, and only a third-level demon beast can counter it."

"The demonic beasts within our forbidden area are at most at the second level of cultivation, and are simply powerless to deal with them."

"But this lake water is actually beneficial to my Turtles. You should understand the pain of having a treasure right in front of you but being unable to enjoy it."

The turtle carrying a leech looked melancholy in its eyes.

"Senior, do you want me to go down and pick the Flood Dragon Scale Fruit?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingmo understood what the "carrying turtle" meant.

"Indeed, a thousand years ago, a human cultivator set foot here. We treated him well and allowed him to cultivate in the lake."

"Unexpectedly, after he bathed in the blood of a dragon, dragon scale fruits grew at the bottom of this lake."

The tortoise carrying the sap sighed softly and continued, "For thousands of years, no one has been able to enter this place, and my clan is also unable to leave."

"Fortunately, you've appeared today. You can take this dragon scale fruit."

After understanding the whole story, Chen Qingmo finally understood why the Tuojiang Turtle had mentioned the Earth Core Burning Lake from the very beginning.

It intentionally lured itself here to help!

It will say the same thing no matter who comes.

However, Chen Qingmo was willing to help it. Judging from the behavior of the young Turtles, this species would not attack others indiscriminately.

It was only because he tried to pick the spiritual plants several times that he was treated as an enemy.

"Young friend, if you desire spiritual plants such as the Flame Crystal Flower, I can gift you some later."

"Don't even think about those belonging to the younger generation of my clan. They've watched the spirit herbs grow up since they were little, so they won't easily give them up to you."

"Since you didn't harm them, I won't do anything to you."

The tortoise carrying the slurry had also seen Chen Qingmo's behavior and knew his thoughts.

Chen Qingmo gave an awkward smile, but also felt somewhat relieved.

"Senior, please wait a moment, I will go down and pick them now."

The Turtles are friendly, and he can obtain Dragon Scale Fruit from them.

Even if the other party turns against him afterward, he can simply prepare a Xunfeng talisman in the lake beforehand.

Chen Qingmo entered the lake and dived more than ten meters before reaching the bottom.

The lake wasn't very big, and he spotted the location of the dragon scale fruit tree at a glance.

"Uproot the entire tree!"

The connection from the Beast Taming Technique was still active, and the voice of the Tuojiang Turtle could be heard.

Chen Qingmo went to the fruit tree and uprooted it.

At the same time, he affixed a Xunfeng talisman to his back in case of emergency.

Chen Qingmo brought the fruit trees to the shore, where the giant tortoise carrying the mud turtle opened its mouth wide, seemingly very happy.

Its tortoise-like feet ventured into the lake again, and this time the water did not surge back, allowing it to tread freely.

"Thank you very much, young friend!"

"You don't need to be so wary of me. My Turtles are people of our word."

The Tuojiang Turtle could sense the faint spiritual power behind Chen Qingmo.

"Please forgive me, senior. This is my first time here, and perhaps my last."

"The forbidden area is quite dangerous, so I have to take extra precautions."

After explaining, Chen Qingmo withdrew his spiritual power.

The tortoise carrying the sap expressed its understanding and then took out dozens of spiritual plants from a nearby cave.

"Take the spiritual plants; none of these things can compare to the dragon scale fruit in your hand."

"This fruit can help you human cultivators temper your bodies; it can be considered a treasure for body refinement."

"My turtle clan has strong physical defense. If my clan's essence blood is combined with this fruit, it may be able to have 90% of the strength of a dragon's body."

"But don't even think about it. The fact that I'm telling you this means I have nothing to fear."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingmo thought of his second son, Chen Weilan.

Chen Weilan's body-tempering technique, cultivated with the blood of a demon wolf, is definitely inferior to that of the second-tier demon beast in front of her.

"Does the senior have other methods?"

Chen Qingmo spoke boldly, not believing that the tortoise carrying the sap would have said it unintentionally.

"Hehe, young friend, you are quite clever."

"I cannot extract your essence, but you can use some of my own ordinary blood as a form of repayment."

The tortoise carrying the sap wanted to repay Chen Qingmo for picking the dragon scale fruit.

Although the other party had already obtained the spiritual plant and the dragon scale fruit, it was far from enough in its eyes.

"I am deeply grateful. Young man, could you please store this blood for later use?"

Chen Qingmo was a little nervous, afraid that the turtle carrying the slurry would disagree.

Chen Weilan was in dire need of physical training resources, and as a father, he would naturally think of his son's needs.

"what ever."

The tortoise didn't care much; it wasn't going to go out anyway.

The humans who can come here are all Qi Refining cultivators, and they pose no threat to it.

The tortoise forced out a large ball of blood, but it was actually quite small compared to its body.

Chen Qingmo quickly took out porcelain bottles, and it took more than a dozen bottles to fill them all.

"Thank you so much, senior!"

Chen Qingmo bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.

Chen Weilan used a considerable amount of demon wolf blood, but compared to what the Tuojiang Turtle had given her, it was insignificant.

After the initial training of the Body Tempering Technique, you can continue training without using beast blood, but using beast blood will always yield better results.

Moreover, the blood of the turtle race is not very ferocious; compared to other demonic beasts, they are considered gentle.

Chen Qingmo was very satisfied with the results of this trip.

"Young friend, would you like to cultivate in this fiery lake at the Earth's core?"

Just as he was thinking of leaving, the tortoise spoke again.

"Aren't you afraid I'll pollute the lake?"

A cultivator from a thousand years ago left behind a dragon-scale fruit tree. If he were to leave anything else behind, it would be a disservice to them.

"It's alright, let me examine your bloodline."

"Besides, I also have my own ulterior motives for doing this; I hope you can take a few of the cubs out with you."

"Our clan will survive here, though we will not be wiped out, but our clan will also be unable to grow stronger."

"If you take some cubs with you, perhaps my tribe can thrive and multiply elsewhere."

The tortoise looked at the first-tier tortoise cubs outside with loving eyes.

It didn't know if Chen Qingmo would succeed, but it was willing to try as long as there was a glimmer of hope.

"I have a spirit beast pouch. Senior, could you allow me to control them for a period of time using the Beast Taming Technique? I will release them once we are out."

Chen Qingmo suggested that since he didn't know the true art of beast taming, he could only control them in a simple way, like the treasure-hunting rat.

The tortoise nodded, then summoned several cubs and handed them to Chen Qingmo.

Once everything was complete, it stretched out its tortoise feet.

"Young friend, let me see if you have the power of a demon beast in your bloodline."
