Although Tian Cheng Laozu had been in and out of the central region of Scarlet Mist Island several times, he was still quite wary of the threats in the central region. Even a Dharma adept would have to tread carefully in there, as if treading on thin ice.
Lu Ping and the rest of the group of seven went deep into the central region of Scarlet Mist Island. Along the way, Tian Cheng Laozu talked endlessly about the dangers in the central region and the things to take note of, for fear that something would happen to the group.
Although they were following an old road that Ancestor Tiancheng had taken, in the central area of Scarlet Mist Island, because of the volcanic eruption and the flowing hot magma that might occur at any time, even the old road could become a new dangerous place at any time.
The group that was walking stopped because of Lu Ping's sudden stop. Tian Cheng Laozu turned around and saw that Lu Ping's gaze was fixed on a green-gold flame floating in the flowing lava a few hundred feet away.
A mid-grade Earth-level spiritual fire, the Heavenly Green Golden Flame!
Tian Cheng Laozu naturally saw that Lu Ping was tempted and hurriedly stopped him. "No hurry, no hurry. You can't take this flame!"
Lu Ping was surprised. "Why? This Heavenly Green Golden Flame is of a high grade. Even though it is not suitable for alchemy or forging weapons, it is an excellent item for cultivation among spiritual fires of the same grade."
Tian Cheng Laozu said helplessly, "This spiritual fire has been discovered by the practitioners that entered and exited Scarlet Mist Island for many years. However, until now, no one has taken this spiritual fire away. Why do you think that is?"
Tian Cheng Laozu did not wait for Lu Ping to answer and continued, "Although this spiritual fire is of good quality, it was coincidentally nurtured by this lava river and suppressed it at the same time. If this spiritual fire is taken away, the lava river will definitely explode. At that time, it may not only cut off our escape route, but it may also directly endanger our safety."
The Celestial Zither Ancestor clearly did not believe it either. He said, "It's just a mid grade Earth Spirit Fire. How can it be so wondrous? Also, even if the river of lava goes berserk, are we unable to suppress it with our strength?"
Tian Cheng Laozu shook his head. "Sigh, you may not believe it, but the truth is that it is so dangerous. Because of this spiritual fire, over the past few decades, three Dharma adepts have either died or been seriously injured. As for Core Forging adepts, even more have died."
Tian Cheng still did not believe it, but then Lu Ping suddenly said, "What if we can suppress this lava river?"
"What?"
Tian Cheng Laozu hurriedly advised, "It is better not to take this risk. After all, it is just an Earth-level spiritual fire. If a Core Forging adept saw it, he might be able to give it a try. But we are all Dharma adepts, we cannot take this risk!"
Before Tian Cheng Laozu could finish speaking, Lu Ping had already grabbed the Heavenly Green Golden Flame from afar. At the same time, Tian Cheng Laozu and Lu Ping seemed to have a tacit understanding. They were already standing beside Lu Ping, ready to suppress the boiling lava.
Tian Cheng Laozu looked at the two of them with his mouth wide open, speechless. Finally, he said, "Hai!" and hurriedly ordered Tian Yong, Tian Lian, and the others to be ready to work together to deal with any unexpected situation.
The Heavenly Green Golden Flame swayed in the air above the lava river. It was obvious that it had been grabbed by Lu Ping. Then, Lu Ping felt as if a force was trying to break free from his control. The corner of Lu Ping's eye twitched, and he suddenly turned his outstretched arm back. The spiritual fire could no longer resist, and it left the lava river and floated towards Lu Ping.
"It's coming!"
Tian Cheng Laozu let out a strange cry. In fact, when Lu Ping caught the spiritual fire in the air, the originally calm lava river began to gush. And when Lu Ping completely pulled the spiritual fire over and left the lava river, the already turbulent lava river suddenly began to boil violently. Fiery red lava began to splash everywhere, and the commotion became louder and louder. There was even a three-foot-high wave of lava on the surface of the lava river, and it rushed out of the original channel of the lava river.
If that was all, it would not be a big deal. But when the lava river began to riot, the area where everyone was standing suddenly began to shake. Muffled rumbling sounds came from underground, and a volcano thousands of feet away suddenly rolled out thick red smoke. Then, a crashing sound came from the top of the volcano, and red lines of fire spread from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain.
After the eruption of this volcano, several volcanoes around them also emitted thick red smoke at the same time. Flashes of fire flickered on the top of the mountain, and it looked like they were about to burst out. Once that happened, the flowing lava of the surrounding volcanoes would form a huge lava fire net, trapping everyone in it.
At the moment when the lava river boiled, Tian Cheng Laozu, Tian Qin Laozu, and the others had already tried to suppress the increasingly violent lava river, but they could only delay it, not stop it.
Seeing that everyone was about to be trapped in the lava, Lu Ping, who had already subdued and refined the Heavenly Green Golden Flame, suddenly made a move!
Unbeknownst to everyone, a thick crimson cloud had formed above Chi Mo Island that was shrouded in crimson volcanic dust. As Lu Ping cast his secret spell, a crimson rain of mud fell on the volcanic area where the group was.
The scarlet mud rain became heavier and heavier, and finally became a heavy downpour. After the red mist dust floating in the air was washed away by Lu Ping's Art of Traveling through Clouds and Summoning Rain, the raindrops that fell were no longer scarlet, and the original scarlet cloud in the air had turned into a thick ink-like dark cloud.
The sound of "chi chi" sounded around everyone, and white mist rose from the ground and the lava along with the heavy rain. From a distance, it looked like a fairyland. As the rain continued to intensify, the surging magma was suddenly cooled into pieces of green-black rocks.
The volcano in the distance, which was already steaming with red mist, seemed to be quieter under the pouring of the heavy rain. The lava river was originally in a low-lying place in this area, but because of the heavy rain after the magma cooled and surged, streams of water gradually converged towards the lava river.
A series of explosions sounded. Although Lu Ping's Art of Traveling through Clouds and Summoning Rain was tyrannical, the lava river was close to the power of heaven and earth. The converged water could not completely cool down the surging lava river, but the originally violent lava river also lost its previous power and became silent again.
The dark clouds in the air dispersed, and a bright beam of light fell down, bringing a trace of freshness to the island that was filled with red mist all year round. But as the red mist spread to other parts of the island, this beam of light did not last long before it was blocked by the red mist again.
Ancestor Tian Cheng, Ancestor Tianqin, and the others looked at each other in dismay. They didn't expect that the raging magma river that they couldn't suppress together would be extinguished by Lu Ping's rain. What's more, they didn't expect that on this scorching island, Lu Ping could cast such a powerful water-elemental spell!
"You're amazing!"
After a while, Tian Cheng Laozu murmured for a long time and finally spat out these three words!
Lu Ping laughed and opened his left palm. The cyan-gold Heavenly Green Golden Flame was constantly rising and falling in Lu Ping's palm. Lu Ping had gone through so much trouble and made such a big noise just for this Earth Rank Middle Grade spiritual fire. Then Lu Ping opened his right palm again, and a bright yellow flame of seven inches suddenly jumped up.
Tian Qin Laozu's eyelids twitched and she said, "Seven Inch Spiritual Flame! You went through so much trouble to get this Heavenly Green Golden Flame just to let this Seven Inch Spiritual Flame devour it and advance, right? "
Tian Cheng Laozu and the others looked at Lu Ping in surprise. They saw Lu Ping put his palms together and the two flames magically fused together. The cyan-gold flame and the bright yellow flame were constantly flickering and jumping in the fire.
Lu Ping didn't have time to answer Tian Qin Laozu's question. When the two flames fused together and devoured each other, he hurriedly blew up three top-grade spirit stones around the two flames in the air.
Under the Spirit Explosion Technique that Lu Ping used, rich spiritual energy gathered between the two flames. Then the originally bright yellow Seven Inch Spiritual Flame gradually gained the upper hand, and the flickering flame also had a bright yellow color.
The jumping of the flame gradually stabilized, and the flickering light of the whole flame completely turned bright yellow. At this moment, the originally only seven inches flame suddenly grew one inch higher and became eight inches!
Eight-inch spiritual flame, Heaven Rank Middle Grade!
After devouring this Earth Rank Middle Grade Heavenly Green Golden Flame, Lu Ping's Seven Inch Spiritual Flame finally underwent a qualitative change and was upgraded from Heaven Rank Low Grade to Heaven Rank Middle Grade.
"It has advanced. Previously, the only secret skill you mastered was the Blood Condensing Pill. In the past few years of secluded cultivation, your alchemy skills have not fallen behind. According to the news you brought back from the Dao Altar world, this Seven Inch Spiritual Flame is the most useful for alchemists to comprehend the secret skill of Pill Transformation. Now, how many secret skills of Pill Transformation have you mastered?"
Tian Qin Laozu's eyes flashed when he saw the Seven Inch Spiritual Flame in Lu Ping's hand.
Lu Ping smiled bitterly and said, "Martial Uncle, how can it be so easy to obtain the secret skill of Pill Transformation? These years, I have gone through almost all the elixirs I can refine from beginning to end, but I have only comprehended the secret skill of Golden Resilience Pill! "
"What?"
This time, it was Tian Qin Laozu's turn to be surprised. "You really comprehended another secret skill of Pill Transformation? So, Taoist Gui's guess was not unreasonable. Are the thirteen kinds of Heaven and Earth Spirit Fires really effective in comprehending the secret skill of Pill Transformation? "
"By the way, which secret skill of Pill Transformation did you say you comprehended? Golden Resilience Pill? Isn't that a miraculous elixir that can be used to strengthen the physical body? Boy, you actually comprehended this kind of secret skill of Pill Transformation? "
Tian Qin Laozu seemed to be a little jealous at this time. "I heard that you have a Golden Nut Tree, and with all kinds of secret skills, you can harvest thirty-six Golden Nuts almost every sixty years. Doesn't this mean that you can unceasingly refine Golden Resilience Pills in the future? This is really enviable! "
