After Liu Ming listened to it, he was naturally very surprised. Therefore, after separating from Zang Xuan, he quietly returned to the giant pit.
After Bone Scorpion flashed, it jumped on his shoulder.
Liu Ming followed the instructions of Bone Scorpion and used the burrowing technique to dive down a thousand meters from the original location of the cauldron.
Suddenly, his expression moved. After a while, his body was light, and he appeared in a spherical space of ten meters in size. The soil here seemed to be dug out by someone. The inner wall was very smooth.
In the center of the space, there was a fist-sized dark red light cluster floating. It was flickering slightly. There seemed to be something hidden in it. There was a strange light flashing faintly.
Liu Ming narrowed his eyes and cast his gaze on the spherical light cluster.
"It's … it's … it …" Bone Scorpion on his shoulder suddenly made a vague girl's voice.
He immediately made a gesture with one hand, and a huge amount of mental power swept out, but it was blocked by the light ball, and he couldn't find out what was inside. However, the energy contained in the light ball itself seemed to be very gentle, so it should be harmless.
After Liu Ming frowned, he grabbed at the air with one hand and immediately sucked the ball of light into his hand. After rubbing his hands again, the red light immediately dissipated, revealing the thing inside.
"This is …"
When he saw the thing inside, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Between his hands, there was a tri-color lamp flame floating, and the lamp flame wrapped a silver elixir.
The elixir slowly rotated in the center of the lamp flame. Every time it rotated, the tri-color lamp flame shrank and flickered as if a heart was beating.
After taking a closer look, he found that there were three unusually thin and twisted golden patterns on the surface of the silver elixir. They were squirming slightly on the surface of the silver elixir like a living thing.
Liu Ming was overjoyed. Although he didn't know what this elixir was, it was not an ordinary thing at first glance. It was naturally a great opportunity for him to get it.
After he praised Bone Scorpion with a voice transmission, he immediately took out a jade box. He carefully put the silver elixir together with the tri-color lamp flame into the jade box.
The pill seemed to have a mind of its own as it trembled in the box. The three-colored flames on its surface flickered as if it could shoot out at any moment.
A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Ming's eyes. He immediately closed the lid of the box and took out a light yellow glyph. He stuck it on the jade box with a "pa" sound. Only then did he put it into the Sumeru Snail with ease.
After doing all of this, he immediately searched the nearby area, and after confirming that he hadn't missed anything, he emerged from the ground with a flash of yellow light. His body swayed, and he disappeared into the nearby fiery clouds.
After the time it takes to eat a meal.
In a cave under the canyon, this place was deep underground and filled with a faint red mist.
In the deepest part of the cave, an underground lava river flowed slowly.
There were seven or eight stalks of dark green light flickering on the reddish red rock surrounding the river. They were some slender spirit herbs growing here.
This spirit herb was only half a foot tall and looked like a lingzhi mushroom. However, its exterior was light green in color.
To be able to survive in such an environment, it was naturally not something ordinary.
"Golden Linzhi!" Liu Ming recognized this item at a glance. Before he set off, he deliberately read some ancient books about medicinal materials in the Taiqing Gate. It was recorded that this kind of spirit herb was a high-grade material for refining fire attribute elixir. It was very valuable.
Liu Ming picked all these spirit herbs with joy and packed them in a jade box. He searched the cave again, but unfortunately, he didn't find any other spiritual objects.
… …
After a quarter of an hour.
Somewhere in the canyon, on a mountain wall filled with red mist, a blue light flashed, and the figure of Liu Ming appeared.
At this moment, he was holding a dark red ore the size of a head in his arms. It was covered with spider web-like purple lines that flickered. It looked a bit strange.
"Violet sun stone, I didn't expect to find such a big piece here." Liu Ming murmured, unable to hide the joy on his face.
Violet sun stone was an extremely rare forging material. It contained yin and yang spiritual power. It was an excellent material for refining advanced cauldron furnaces.
The reason why he was so happy was that according to the "Flame Cultivation Scripture", if the Nine Skulls Shield was to be refined into the 36th enchantment, this thing was one of the auxiliary materials.
After Liu Ming carefully put it away, his figure flickered and flew away.
…
In a hidden underground cave, in a red pit full of crimson ore.
Liu Ming's body was covered with a light blue water attribute shield. He was holding a golden hoe in his hand and was concentrating on collecting something.
On the inner wall of the pit, there was a protruding cylindrical stick-shaped object. It was about the size of a fist. It was golden in color. The tree ring pattern could be faintly seen. It looked like a piece of rotten wood. One end was exposed outside, and the other end was deeply stuck in the mountain wall.
This object was called giant sun wood. Its name sounded like a kind of spiritual wood, but in fact, it was transformed from the corpse of a kind of giant sun insect.
Giant sun insect was a kind of spirit insect that lived in magma. Its appearance was similar to maggots. After death, its corpse was mixed in the magma. After hundreds of years, it slowly hardened, absorbing a lot of volcanic magma, and finally forming a piece of giant sun wood.
Giant sun wood was the product of living creature essence mixed with flame essence. It was also a rare spiritual material. Once it was formed, it was extremely hard.
Liu Ming waved the hoe. After a while, he finally dug out this piece of giant sun wood the size of a child's arm.
…
After more than an hour, the materials in the entire canyon were almost swept away by Liu Ming and Zang Xuan.
Soon after, there was a whistling sound in the sky, and a few escape lights appeared faintly.
…
A month later, in the nameless hall!
The teleportation array in the center of the hall flickered. Not long after, seven or eight figures appeared inside. It was Liu Ming, Zang Xuan and several other outer disciples who finally walked out of the Small Flame World.
"Okay, these are the last people. This Small Flame World trial is over." On the eight high platforms above the hall, the old man with yellow eyebrows of the Fengling Courtyard took out a bronze mirror, checked it for a moment, and said slowly.
Liu Ming and Zang Xuan immediately walked out of the array. After saluting the eight masters respectfully, they quickly walked to the high platform where Jiang Zhong was and stood with their hands folded.
The same was true for several others.
"Brother Jiang, according to the law enforcement hall, it seems that these two disciples of your courtyard joined forces to kill the fire spirit king. With such strength, I'm afraid they won't be unknown in the outer disciple major competition two years later right?" Among the eight masters, a short and fat middle-aged man glanced at Liu Ming and Zang Xuan, then he said with a slight smile.
"Mister has overpraised. Your courtyard is also full of talents. It is still a little early for them to participate in the major competition. They still need more training." Jiang Zhong replied with a yawn when he heard the words.
"With their age, even if they can't make it this time, they will definitely have a great chance in the next two realms. Maybe there will be two more inner disciples in your courtyard." The short and fat man said with a sneer.
This time, Jiang Zhong smiled and said nothing.
"Speaking of which, Nephew Chen Deng also performed well in this trial. At the critical moment, he can always make the right choice. Just like Mr. Chen, he has the demeanor of a great general." Seeing this, the short and fat man changed the topic and said to the master of the Fengling Courtyard.
About everything that happened in the Small Flame World this time, they naturally knew most of it from the mouths of other disciples who came out first.
When the old man with yellow eyebrows heard this, although he said a few humble words, he still smiled.
"Hmph! This trial is just a small entrance test. What can we see? The major competition two years later still depends on the competition between the old disciples. "The beautiful woman in red clothes snorted when she heard the words.
"In this way, Junior Sister Apprentice Shao is full of confidence in the next major competition." The short and fat middle-aged man's eyes flickered as he said with a slight smile.
"Hmph, you will naturally know at that time." The beautiful woman raised her eyebrows and said impolitely.
In this way, after the eight masters chatted for a while, they left the hall with the last batch of disciples.
An hour later, Jiang Zhong returned to the conference hall of the Piaohong Courtyard with Liu Ming and the other disciples.
There, the other new disciples who had finished their trials were already waiting there, having received the notice long ago.
However, compared to before they entered, there were only twenty or so new disciples left. More than ten of them had died.
Yan Ming and Xue Yun were also standing inside safely.
After Jiang Zhong, the master of the Piaohong Courtyard, glanced at the disciples, he sighed and said slowly,
"Well, there have been a lot of changes in this trial. You all have worked hard, but according to the rules this time, you must hand in three flame essence nuclei every time to be considered to pass the trial. Because of the increase in the difficulty of the trial, each person can get an additional 1000 contribution points from the Sect as a reward."
None of these disciples who were lucky enough to survive this strange change were weak. They naturally hunted down three Fire Spirit Essence Cores, and when they heard that there would be additional Contribution Points, they were naturally overjoyed.
Everyone immediately took out three flame essence nuclei and handed them over to Jiang Zhong. After listening to the old man's encouraging words, they left the hall one after another.
Liu Ming and Zang Xuan were about to turn back after handing in the essence nuclei, but they were unexpectedly stopped.
…
In a side hall of the Piaohong Courtyard hall, Jiang Zhong sat casually on the main seat, and Liu Ming and Zang Xuan stood respectfully by the side.
"I have already heard from the law enforcement hall that you two performed very well in the Small Flame World. You can join forces to kill the fire spirit king, which has brought a lot of face to our Piaohong Courtyard." Jiang Zhong picked up the teacup in his hand, took a sip, and said with a smile on his face.
"Master is overpraising. These are what disciples should do." Zang Xuan replied respectfully.
"Listening to the people of the law enforcement hall, the fire spirit king seems to have broken through to the Crystallization Period at the last moment. You two can actually kill it by joining forces. It can be seen that you do have some strength. Tell me about the process of killing him in detail, "Jiang Zhong said with a hint of interest in his voice.
