After instructing Yi Yong to take care of Aoze, Lu Xuan entered a secret chamber to meditate. He wanted to study the Raging Flame Crystal Ball.
Nangong Lie only lent the Raging Flame Crystal Ball to Lu Xuan for three days without revealing too much information. Whether or not Lu Xuan could benefit from it would depend on Lu Xuan's luck. After all, this was the inheritance of the Nangong Clan. It was already praiseworthy for Nangong Lie to lend it out. Naturally, Lu Xuan wouldn't ask too much about it.
Lu Xuan sat cross-legged while Huo Li held the Raging Flame Crystal Ball and floated in front of Lu Xuan. The light in the crystal ball was constantly changing, as if there was something flowing inside.
"Huo Li, can you feel the mysteries of this crystal ball?" Lu Xuan asked Huo Li. Regarding the Raging Flame Bloodline, Huo Li was undoubtedly more professional and authoritative than him.
Huo Li stretched out his hand and knocked on the crystal ball. "The shell of this crystal ball is very hard. It's a very good material. However, what's truly precious isn't the ball itself, but the thing sealed inside."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan's heart slightly moved. Just as he had guessed, there was something inside the crystal ball. Huo Li was very sensitive to the aura of flames, so his senses couldn't be wrong.
Huo Li revealed a covetous expression and said, "The thing inside is really good stuff. It contains a very strong aura of flames, and there seems to be some indescribable power of the law. Master, why don't we break it and get the thing inside to eat?"
Lu Xuan automatically ignored the second half of Huo Li's words and asked, "You mean, the thing inside the crystal ball has the power of the law?"
"Yes, the power of the law of fire is the strongest. However, there is also some other aura. It feels, it feels … similar to that blockhead from before." Huo Li tried his best to feel it.
Similar to Aoze's aura? Lu Xuan had a look of astonishment on his face as he furrowed his eyebrows in thought. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. Could it be that this crystal ball contained the blood essence of some kind of demonic beast?
As soon as this thought appeared, Lu Xuan immediately linked many details together. The thing inside the Raging Flame Crystal Ball was obviously a kind of liquid, red liquid. Without a doubt, the blood essence was one of it. Moreover, many of the Demon Beast's powers and principles were contained in the blood essence, which was very consistent with Huo Li's perception. However, what kind of Demon Beast's blood essence could have such a powerful energy? Lu Xuan didn't believe that ordinary Demon Beast's blood essence could make Huo Li salivate.
The NanGong Clan's so-called inheritance was obtained from this demonic beast's blood essence. Lu Xuan thought to himself. But how could he activate the power within this blood essence?
No matter what, he had to give it a try. Lu Xuan immediately activated his Yuan Qi and slowly extended his hand. He said to Huo Li, "Huo Li, let me try."
Huo Li immediately let go of the Raging Flame Crystal Ball. However, Lu Xuan immediately used his Yuan Qi to pick it up. Lu Xuan didn't have a special physique like Huo Li, so he didn't dare to directly hold it with his hands.
Lu Xuan tried to use his Yuan Qi to penetrate the crystal ball, but it was useless. He didn't know what material this crystal ball was made of, but it completely isolated his Yuan Qi. Not only that, even his perception couldn't penetrate it. Huo Li was naturally sensitive to the aura of fire, so he could see a trace of its mysteriousness. If it fell into the hands of an ordinary person, he wouldn't be able to understand it at all.
Speaking of which, this Raging Flame Crystal Ball had been in the hands of the Fang Clan for a long time. The Fang Clan must have done a lot of research on it, but it was all in vain. That was why they still kept it in the Red Flame Palace as bait to lure the NanGong Clan into an ambush.
Since his Yuan Qi couldn't penetrate it, and his perception couldn't penetrate it, Lu Xuan didn't know what to do. With a thought, Lu Xuan activated the Tai Yi Fusion Skill and changed its property, completely transforming his Tai Yi energy into the power of fire.
As Lu Xuan used the power of fire to communicate with the crystal ball, the crystal ball finally showed some changes. The light in the crystal ball changed faster, and the aura of fire emitted from it became stronger. It was like a top-grade Yuan Stone with a strong aura of fire. Not only was the aura strong, but it was also very pure. For warriors who practiced fire attribute cultivation methods, if they could cultivate in such a situation for a long time, the effect would be doubled.
However, that was as far as the changes in the crystal ball went. No matter how hard he tried to activate the technique, the crystal ball did not do anything else that surprised him, aside from the fact that the aura of the flames emanating from it was a little more intense.
This little change wasn't enough to satisfy Lu Xuan. If the Raging Flame Crystal Ball only had this little effect, how could it be valued by the NanGong Clan and become the Nangong Clan's heirloom?
"The NanGong Clan must have some kind of unique method to activate the crystal ball's power. It's a pity that NanGong Lie didn't tell me about it." Lu Xuan thought with some regret. However, he could only think about it. The secret method and the crystal ball were a pair. If he had the secret method but didn't have the crystal ball, it would be like having the key but not the treasure chest. If he had the crystal ball but didn't know the secret method, it would be like holding the treasure chest but not being able to open it. The Fang Clan was in such a situation before.
Nangong Lie was willing to give the treasure chest to Lu Xuan for safekeeping. It was already a show of trust. If he had to hand over the key, it would be too much.
"I don't believe that without the Nangong Clan's secret method, I won't be able to obtain the inheritance in this crystal ball!" Lu Xuan made up his mind. Since Nangong Lie had given the crystal ball to him and said that if he was lucky enough, he would be able to obtain a lot of benefits from it. This proved that other than using the Nangong Clan's secret method to open the inheritance, there must be other methods to achieve a similar goal.
The aura in the secret chamber kept changing for a while. Lu Xuan kept trying all sorts of methods in an attempt to activate the legacy within the crystal ball. He did not just use his Yuanli; he even used formations and talismans. He cast many runes onto the crystal ball, but no matter what kind of runes he cast onto the crystal ball, it was as if they were stones sinking into the ocean. There was no reaction at all.
Huo Li was constantly flying around Lu Xuan. Every time he saw Lu Xuan fail, he would smile and encourage Lu Xuan to break the crystal ball. At that time, he would naturally be able to obtain the Demon Beast's blood essence.
Although the crystal ball was incomparably hard and difficult to break, Huo Li knew how powerful Lu Xuan's Smog Sword was. Other things could not be broken, but as long as he used the Smog Sword to hack at it, he would definitely have a chance of breaking it.
Lu Xuan was annoyed by Huo Li and simply stored him into the Smog Sword, not allowing him to come out. In reality, Lu Xuan was tempted by Huo Li's incitement. After repeated failures, Lu Xuan felt that using the Smog Sword to hack at the crystal ball was the most correct method. He was afraid that if Huo Li continued to be noisy, he would really lose his mind and hack at the crystal ball.
The moment this thought appeared, it was forcefully suppressed by Lu Xuan. Although the inheritance of the crystal ball was important, Nangong Lie's friendship was even more important. Nangong Lie had only lent him the crystal ball because he trusted him. If Lu Xuan really destroyed it, how could he face Nangong Lie?
Using his Yuan Power to support the crystal ball, Lu Xuan slowly calmed his heart and pondered. What other methods could he use to activate the inheritance within the crystal ball?
"The various variations of the Taiyi Origin Technique, the Dao of Talismans that I learned from Mount Jiuhua … I seem to have used all the methods that I can use." Lu Xuan frowned slightly and muttered to himself, "Could it be that the only method to activate the inheritance is the Nangong family's secret technique?"
"The Nangong family specializes in fire attribute techniques. The secret technique to activate the crystal ball must be related to fire attribute techniques. However, although I have some understanding of fire attribute techniques, I am not proficient in them. I'm afraid this won't work … No! Fire attribute techniques … Although this crystal ball is a fire attribute treasure, it is not only related to fire attribute Yuan Power! "
The lines in Lu Xuan's mind suddenly became clear. It was true that he was not proficient in fire attribute techniques. At the very least, he could not compare to the martial artists of the Nangong family who specialized in fire attribute techniques. However, he also had his advantages! He still had the power of the Bing Fire Divine Glyph!
With this thought, Lu Xuan's technique instantly changed. All his Yuan Power disappeared and was replaced by the power of the Divine Glyph!
For a moment, the Four Star Fire Divine Glyph in his body shone brightly. The Li Fire Essence in his Dantian also released a strong light. The rich power of the Divine Glyph attached to Lu Xuan's hands, causing Lu Xuan's hands to become extremely red. Taking a deep breath, Lu Xuan stretched out his hands and directly grabbed the crystal ball.
"Hiss!" The moment he grabbed the crystal ball with both hands, even if he was fully prepared and protected by the power of the Bing Fire Divine Glyph, Lu Xuan was still burned to the point that it was almost unbearable.
"Divine Dragon Transformation!" Lu Xuan let out a low roar. At this moment, he even activated the power of his Azure Dragon bloodline and directly used the divine ability brought about by the power of the fourth rank bloodline, Divine Dragon Transformation.
Hard scales grew on Lu Xuan's hands at a speed visible to the naked eye. With the protection of this layer of scales, coupled with the increase in defense brought about by the Divine Dragon Transformation, the burning pain was quickly reduced. Although he could still feel the high temperature of the crystal ball, it was already within the range that Lu Xuan could endure.
Personally holding the crystal ball with his hands was completely different from sensing it through Yuan Power. Lu Xuan could clearly feel the flow of the blood essence in the crystal ball, as well as the faintly discernible fluctuations of the power of law.
"What kind of demonic beast is this blood essence? Such a strong aura, could it be a Divine Beast? " Lu Xuan was extremely surprised, but his movements were not slow at all. The power of the Divine Glyph was pushed to the limit and penetrated into the crystal ball bit by bit. Although it was still greatly hindered, the effect was much better than when he used Yuan Power before. At this moment, Lu Xuan could already feel the power of this blood essence.
"Bloodline Power!" Lu Xuan let out a low roar again, and the power of his bloodline burst forth to assist the power of the Divine Glyph to penetrate into the crystal ball. Under Lu Xuan's full effort, finally, his bloodline power and the power of the Divine Glyph entered the crystal ball at the same time …
