Celestial Phenomenon Laozu was well aware of the fact that Lu Ping had the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash. Naturally, he also understood the effects of these rare natural treasures on the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash.
Although the Water Spirit Fire was relatively rare, it was not a fire seed with any special effects. Naturally, Celestial Phenomenon Laozu would not be interested in it. Celestial Phenomenon Laozu only smiled lightly and passed the fire seed to Lu Ping, while Lu Ping fed the Water Spirit Fire to the Seven Thunder Treasures Calabash.
After that, the five of them worked together and discovered another seven volcanoes in this area that had erupted because of the fire. They found two Profound-level flames and one Earth-level flame, as well as two special flames.
Lu Ping's luck was not bad. When he found the third volcano that was about to erupt, a Profound-level flame flew in his direction and was easily intercepted by Lu Ping.
Half a day had passed and the five Dharma adepts had gathered together. Celestial Phenomenon Laozu said, "The size of this underwater mountain range has exceeded our expectations. If it is really as Xuan Wei predicted, the entire mountain range will rise out of the sea due to the eruption of the underwater volcanoes. This is a volcanic mountain range the size of a large island. Now that the frequency of eruptions is increasing, if the few of us continue to act alone, I'm afraid we will not be able to take care of all of them. Why don't we split up and communicate with each other every two hours? If there is any danger, we will immediately retreat to the fire vein that Tian Ling is guarding. What do you all think?"
Lu Ping had this idea long ago. Seeing Tianjiang Laozu nod, he also agreed. Tianlu and Tiancheng Laozu also had no objections. The five of them split up and headed in a different direction. However, Celestial Phenomenon Laozu still seemed to be a little worried about Tianlu and Tianjiang, so he ordered the two of them to join forces and head in a different direction.
At this time, the underwater mountain range was already becoming more and more unstable. This was because Celestial Phenomenon Laozu and the others had previously tried to use the formation to guide the fire vein to Tianling Mountain. Unexpectedly, this fire vein was connected to the entire underwater mountain range. Halfway through the activation of the formation, this caused the underwater mountain range to shake, causing the silent underwater mountain range to erupt. They had no choice but to stop the guidance of the fire vein and try their best to suppress and seal this fire vein.
However, the final eruption of the underwater volcano was already a foregone conclusion. Sage Xuanwei's method was only able to give the volcano a buffer of two days. As time passed, the complete eruption of the volcano became more and more obvious. The frequency of the eruption of the individual volcanoes was also increasing.
Lu Ping summoned Lu Qin-er from the House of Gold. Lu Qin-er originally did not like the deep sea, but the aura of the volcanic eruption that filled the air still made Lu Qin-er feel refreshed.
The Fire Phoenix Clan was originally a spirit of the flames. Back then, Luan Laozu led the development of the southern Yan Province in the world of cultivation, using the endless volcanoes as a place to stay. The Fire Phoenix Clan was the direct descendant of Luan Laozu. The reason why they settled down in the Eastern Sea was because they found a huge volcano that rose from the bottom of the sea. With that as their base, after several tens of thousands of years of development, they had become a demon clan that was second only to the Green Sea Snakes among the top three demon clans in the Eastern Sea.
Although Lu Qin-er was the descendant of the Wind Phoenix and Fire Phoenix, the Wind Phoenix's position in the Phoenix Clan was far inferior to the Fire Phoenix Clan. Most of Lu Qin-er's abilities were also based on the divine abilities of the Fire Phoenix Clan. Therefore, she had a bloodline affinity towards flames, especially the aura of volcanoes.
Lu Ping took out the Water Moon Repelling Pearl and let it hover over his head, then said, "You and I will work together and try our best to find those volcanoes that are about to erupt. Let's see if we can find any spirit flames or special flames among them."
However, right after Lu Ping finished his words, Lu Qin-er pointed at a faintly discernible underwater mountain a few miles behind Lu Ping and said, "Big brother, that mountain is about to erupt."
Lu Ping was startled and asked, "How do you know?"
Lu Qin 'er proudly said, "Big Brother, you've forgotten my origin. The Fire Phoenix Race is naturally sensitive to the aura of volcanoes. This mountain gives Qin' er the feeling that it's about to erupt. And looking at how tall this mountain is, I'm afraid it's a huge volcano that's about to erupt!"
Lu Ping scratched the back of his head in annoyance and said, "If I had known this would happen, I would have called you out earlier."
As soon as Lu Ping's voice faded, the mountain under their feet began to shake again, and this time, it was even more violent than what Lu Ping had felt before.
Lu Qin-er cried out in alarm, "Hehe, it's about to erupt. This is a sign that this volcano is about to erupt."
Lu Ping and Lu Qin-er hurriedly flanked the volcano from two different directions. When they were still a mile away from the volcano, the entire volcano began to shake on the seabed. Silt rustled down from the top of the volcano, and things constantly squirmed out from the top of the volcano. The mountain also began to slowly increase in height. At this time, Lu Ping finally realized how accurate Lu Qin-er's judgment was.
Then, with a sudden explosion, a huge wave of fire exploded in all directions, causing the surrounding seawater to instantly boil. White bubbles surged out of the muddy gray matter in large amounts towards the surface of the sea.
The dark-red magma spurted thousands of feet high in the seawater, then slowly descended to the bottom of the sea under the obstruction of the seawater and the temperature drop, bringing with it patches of crimson fire poison into the seawater.
Streams of magma began to overflow from the mouth of the volcano, flowing towards the bottom of the mountain and heating up the surrounding seawater.
At this time, two sparks suddenly separated from the gushing magma and flew in two different directions, causing a series of boiling bubbles in the seawater.
Lu Ping's eyes lit up and he immediately turned into a stream of water and chased after one of the sparks. On the other side, Lu Qin-er clearly also noticed the two unusual sparks and chased after the other one.
However, as the two of them chased after the two sparks, another spark suddenly jumped out of the magma overflowing from the volcano's mouth and rose straight towards the surface of the sea.
Lu Ping held the Linglong Wine Cauldron in his hand and pulled it towards the flying flame. The flame suddenly froze in mid-air and then shot back towards the Linglong Wine Cauldron in Lu Ping's hand.
Lu Ping stepped forward and collected the flame into the wine cauldron. He was immediately overjoyed. It was actually a low-grade Earth-step Spirit Fire, a four-inch Spirit Fire. This was a strange flame used in the cultivation world for alchemy.
However, at this time, Lu Ping did not have the time to appreciate this legendary Spirit Fire of Heaven and Earth. With Lu Ping's spiritual sense, even though it was greatly weakened by the seawater at the bottom of the sea, the flame that was escaping while Lu Ping and Lu Qin-er were still unable to escape Lu Ping's perception.
Lu Ping turned around and pointed at the flame that was escaping towards the sea. A silver light shot out from his fingertip and instantly struck the escaping flame.
The flame was immediately frozen in the seawater and could not move. Lu Ping's hands tore and he directly displayed his spatial magic in the seawater. When he reappeared, he was in front of the flame that was frozen in place by the silver light.
At this time, the flame suddenly expanded and broke through the restraints of the silver light. Just as it was about to escape again, Lu Ping would not give it the chance. He scooped the flame with both hands and the high-grade Earth-step Spirit Fire was collected by Lu Ping.
A trace of hesitation flashed across Lu Ping's face. Then, he arranged the other four high-grade Earth-step Spirit Fire and the other high-grade Earth-step Spirit Fire around the Samling Five Elements Leaf.
He wanted to see if the legendary Samling Five Elements Leaf, which was known as the most useless item in the cultivation world, was really only used to heal a cultivator's damaged essence.
At this time, Lu Qin-er, who had already subdued the other Mid-grade Mystic-class Spirit Fire, rushed over with the Waterproof Pearl on her head. She had an excited expression on her face as she said, "Brother, this is clearly a never-before-seen volcano chain. Only the first eruption would produce so many Spirit Fires. This volcano is the tallest in the surrounding volcanic mountain range, so it must have produced the most Spirit Fires. Qin 'er suspects that there might even be a Heaven Level Spirit Fire in this volcano!"
Lu Ping's eyes lit up when he heard this and said, "Really?"
Lu Qin-er nodded and said, "Most likely. According to Qin 'er's inherited memories, the more violent the eruption, the more likely it is to produce a high-grade Spirit Fire. Now that this volcano has erupted, not only did it not decrease in height, it even caused the earth to rise higher and higher. This also means that there might be an even higher-grade Spirit Fire in this volcano. Since a high-grade Earth-step Spirit Fire appeared before, if there's another Spirit Fire in this volcano, then it must be a Heaven Level Spirit Fire."
Lu Ping had originally thought that the appearance of a strange Spirit Fire like the four-inch Spirit Fire in this volcano was enough to make him happy. He had never thought that he might encounter a Heaven Level Spirit Fire. This was truly an unexpected surprise.
Because of the rarity and wide range of uses of Spirit Fire in the cultivation world, the supply and demand of Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire was always in a state of imbalance compared to other Spirit Fire.
Therefore, the cultivation world used other methods to improve the quality of the Spirit Fire. Although this could achieve the goal, it often caused the Spirit Fire's spirituality to be impure due to the influence of external forces. This would cause other problems, such as the influence on the cultivator's strength after advancing, and so on.
However, because the cultivators who practiced fire attribute cultivation methods had extremely strong destructive power, and the influence of external forces to improve the quality of the Spirit Fire was usually minimal, even if there was a weakening effect, it was usually not visible.
Therefore, many fire attribute cultivators who wanted to break through to the Transcendence Stage would condense a seventh-grade Golden Core and above when they advanced to the peak of the Core Forging Stage. However, they could not find a Heaven Level Spirit Fire, so they could only use this method to advance.
According to what Lu Ping knew, Tianjiang, Tianlu, and Tiancheng Laozu had more or less used this method. However, Tianjiang and Tianlu Laozu's cultivation base was insufficient. Even if they used this method, they could only condense a Golden Core between the sixth-grade and seventh-grade. After that, they used a secret technique to advance by luck.
As for Tiancheng Laozu, he had no choice but to use this method in order to condense two Heaven Level Spirit Fires. Therefore, Tianjiang and Tianlu Laozu's cultivation base could not be compared to Tiancheng Laozu's.
Lu Ping looked at the volcano that had risen nearly a hundred feet in a short period of time. He composed himself and asked, "Then how do I draw out the Spirit Fire inside?"
