Besides, unless Nefa became the new Dragon of Destruction, Nefa might not dare to set foot on Anril as long as Tutankhamun was there. Although the two brothers were not too far apart in strength, Lin Li could more or less guess that Tutankhamun had some means that Nefa was afraid of through the previous conversation. At the thought of this, Lin Li nodded and agreed to Nefa's request to limit the Soul Oath to this world.
After the Soul Oath came into effect, Lin Li didn't want to stay there any longer, and immediately set off to the bottom of the volcano. Under Nefa's control, the prehistoric magical beasts like the Minotaurs made way for Lin Li to go down the mountain. Although the human aura on Lin Li made them salivate, none of them dared to act rashly under Nefa's suppression, and allowed Lin Li to walk past them.
Although the volcano was extremely high, Lin Li did not use the Power of Flight to go down directly, considering that he might encounter something. Instead, he walked down the mountain. Lin Li couldn't estimate how high the volcano was, and he only knew that he couldn't see the top of the volcano when he turned around and looked down. Along the way, there was nothing but bare rocks. It could be said that everywhere was the same, barren, without a single trace of life. The only thing that made Lin Li feel different was that the surrounding temperature seemed to be gradually getting higher as he walked down the mountain.
After walking for a long time, the surrounding environment finally changed completely from the mountain. Not only did the temperature become hotter, but the color of the rocks on the ground also became dark red, like iron that was taken out of a furnace, making it impossible for anyone to stand on it. Although Lin Li could withstand the high temperature, he had no choice but to use the Power of Flight to leave the ground. At the same time, he could clearly feel that the density of the fire element in the surroundings had reached a rather terrifying level.
Although Lin Li had not encountered any obstacles along the way, he did not let his guard down at all. Even when he used the Power of Flight, he still maintained a slow speed. At the same time, Lin Li was constantly scanning his surroundings carefully, and his mental strength even took in everything outside of his field of vision.
In fact, it was not that Lin Li had never seen such an environment before. It was just that the fire element was a little denser. The lair of the Salamander, the lair of the Crimson Python, and the lava cave where the Crimson Dragon was imprisoned in the underground palace of the Dragon Mountain Range were all environments with dense fire elements. However, that was also the reason why Lin Li paid more attention to everything around him. If there were no accidents, a place with dense magical elements like this would usually nurture some valuable things. The environment of this world had existed for thousands of years, and even the most ordinary stones on the ground were about to turn into fire elemental gemstones, not to mention those things that were originally spiritual.
As the fiery red color in his vision became more intense, Lin Li suddenly stopped moving forward, and a look of joy appeared on his face. He then turned around and flew towards the left. Soon, Lin Li found dozens of grasses that looked like they were carved out of red crystals on the fiery red ground. The appearance of the grasses was rather ordinary. If it weren't for their flame-like color and crystal clear appearance, they would probably be no different from the weeds that could be found everywhere in Anril.
The grasses were called Fire Crystal Grasses, and were actually not very valuable. Even the highest quality ones were not considered rare in Anril. However, the appearance of the Fire Crystal Grasses confirmed Lin Li's conjecture. Since there were Fire Crystal Grasses here, there would naturally be other fire element herbs. To Lin Li, the Fire Crystal Grasses were not just a kind of herb, but also a ray of vitality in this barren world.
Of course, since there were plants, there would definitely be animals too. Since there were Fire Crystal Grasses here, there would probably be many fire element magical beasts too. Besides, given the environment of this world and the rich fire elements, the strength of the fire element magical beasts would definitely not be weak. Hence, the discovery of the Fire Crystal Grasses made Lin Li feel elated, but also a little more vigilant.
Although the value of the Fire Crystal Grasses was not very high, they were not easy to obtain in Anril. Although the Tower of Dusk had the Elven Kingdom as the biggest source of herbs, the Emerald Forest in the Elven Kingdom did not produce such herbs that required harsh environments to grow. Besides, the value of the Fire Crystal Grasses was not high because ordinary pharmacists would not use them. In the opinion of most pharmacists, such herbs with extreme attributes were often the culprit of failure in the preparation of potions.
However, Lin Li was a true pharmaceutics Guru in Anril. Even the most common Tricolored Flower had special uses in his hands, let alone the Fire Crystal Grasses. Putting aside other uses, just adding some Fire Crystal Grasses powder in the right amount during the preparation of most potions would allow the reaction of the potions to be accelerated. Of course, if the addition was not appropriate, failure would not be the only thing that awaited the pharmacist. An explosion would probably be inevitable.
Hence, Lin Li did not let go of this extra wealth, and soon put dozens of Fire Crystal Grasses into the Ring of Endless Storm. Generally speaking, when collecting herbs, one had to leave some seeds behind, and not cut off the roots. However, Lin Li reckoned that the environment of this world would probably not last long after he took away the branch of the Tree of Eternity. Hence, it would be useless even if he left 10,000 seeds behind. Hence, he might as well clean up all of them himself.
After harvesting a batch of Fire Crystal Grasses, Lin Li moved even slower, and his search became more thorough. It was rare for him to come to such a place, and he did not know if he would have the chance to come again in the future. Besides, even if he did, the environment would have long changed. Hence, Lin Li naturally did not want to miss any good things now. Since he already knew the way to leave, Lin Li did not have to worry about the seal of the Darkness Shrine sealing the spacetime rift. Besides, the branch of the Tree of Eternity would not run away, either.
There was no day and night change in this world, so Lin Li did not know how long he had been walking since he came down from the top of the mountain. He only knew that as he gradually went deeper, there were more and more gains in the Ring of Endless Storm. There were Fire Crystal Grasses, Polar Flame Flowers, Lava Grasses, and various other fire attribute herbs of good quality. Lin Li would not let go of them as long as he saw them.
In addition to herbs, there were also various magical metals such as Infernal Magical Iron, Lava adamantine, and so on. They were also Lin Li's targets. However, Lin Li did not waste too much time excavating those magical metals. After all, it would take a lot of time to excavate a mineral vein. Lin Li could spend 10 days to half a month there, but he could not spend a few years there. Hence, he only picked out the high-purity ores that were exposed outside, and cut a few large pieces to store in the ring.
Finally, when the magma rivers began to crisscross on the ground, Lin Li found the most valuable thing he had seen so far — two black lotuses of excellent quality. Compared to the dispensable gains from before, the appearance of the black lotus really made Lin Li a little ecstatic. For pharmacists, the black lotus was definitely a divine item bestowed by the heavens. A single petal was enough to make a pharmacist go crazy. In particular, a pharmaceutics Guru like Lin Li, who had many Guru-level potion formulas that required the black lotus.
However, the requirements for the growth of the black lotus were extremely harsh, and the slightest mistake would cause it to not grow at all. In the beginning, when Lin Li was in the Endless World, he posted a huge bounty, and almost mobilized all the players in the world, but he did not manage to obtain even a single petal. After coming to Anril, Lin Li was lucky enough to obtain some black lotuses, but even though he was extremely cautious when using each petal, he did not have many left.
The reason why Lin Li had been searching carefully here, and refused to let go of any mistakes, was actually because he was hoping to get lucky and find some more black lotus there. After all, the environment there was very rare. The fire Elemental World was connected to this place, and Nefa was suppressing the power of the fire Elemental World so that it would not be completely engulfed by the flames. That provided space for the growth of various fire element herbs. Although the fire element herbs liked the hot environment and the strong fire element around them, they also had a limit to their tolerance, just like how humans would die if they ate too much. For example, if the Fire Crystal Grass was placed in the place where the black lotus grew, it would immediately be burned to ashes. In the real fire Elemental World, it would be almost impossible to find the black lotus.
However, even though Lin Li could not wait to put the extremely precious black lotus into his pocket, he did not immediately take action. Not far from the two black lotuses, there was a huge crimson python with a pair of wings on its back. Its blood-red eyes were staring at Lin Li, the uninvited guest. It was the Crimson Python that Lin Li had seen before.
Generally speaking, adult Crimson Pythons would at most have level-18 or 19 power although they also had the blood of prehistoric magical beasts in their bodies. Only the mutated Crimson Python in the Blackstone Mountains had just reached level-20 due to the awakening of its bloodline. However, the Crimson Python in front of him was much larger than the one that Lin Li had seen before. Its scales were like rubies, and its power had probably reached level-21 or level-22. Lin Li wondered how many black lotuses it had eaten in the past 1,000 years.
In fact, even a level-21 or level-22 Crimson Python would not pose much of a threat to Lin Li now. Even if he did not use the debris of the stars, it would not take him much effort to kill the python.
