At first glance, the Black Fire Spirit Root looked like ginseng.
However, the Spirit Root was mainly transparent, and only the roots were milky white.
"To think that this little thing could nurture the Black Fire Spirit Fruit." Teng Qingshan exclaimed in his heart. Actually, Teng Qingshan didn't know … that this Black Fire Spirit Root not only nurtured the Black Fire Spirit Fruit, but also the birth of the Red Scaled Beast was closely related to this Black Fire Spirit Root!
Through its roots, the Black Fire Spirit Root absorbed the surrounding Fire Elemental Energy from the Heavens and Earth. After continuous absorption, a unique, transparent energy was produced within the Black Fire Spirit Root!
This transparent energy was very mysterious.
It was because of it that the infant Red Scaled Beast was born. The Red Scaled Beast was closely related to the Black Fire Spirit Fruit.
Even the stage of growth was almost the same!
In the land of the Nine Prefectures, many people thought that although the Black Fire Spirit Root was special, it was far inferior to the Black Fire Spirit Fruit. This was a huge mistake! The Black Fire Spirit Fruit contained the energy of 'Spirit', which could increase the 'Spirit' of one's' Essence, Qi and Spirit ', causing one's' Spirit 'to become stronger, making it easier for one to step into the Innate Realm.
The Black Fire Spirit Root was different!
The Black Fire Spirit Root actually contained a type of energy with 'Life' characteristics. This type of energy could nurture the life form of the Red Scaled Beast, as well as the Black Fire Spirit Fruit.
It was very special!
In history, there were people who ate the Black Fire Spirit Root and discovered that their physique became stronger, and their bodies instantly possessed the strength of ten thousand Jin. Secondly, they didn't discover it … This couldn't be blamed on them, because they hadn't even fully developed their bodies' potential. How could they develop the energy of the Black Fire Spirit Fruit?
"I wonder how the effects will be."
Teng Qingshan washed himself in the water, then took a bite of the Black Fire Spirit Root.
"Kacha!"
"Eh? So hard! " The outer skin of the Black Fire Spirit Root was very hard, but when he bit through it, the meat inside was very tender. It melted in his mouth, and a wave of blazing energy instantly rushed into his throat. Teng Qingshan didn't care about the consequences, and took two bites. He then chewed the root and swallowed it.
"This energy is very strong. With my body, it shouldn't be a problem for me to withstand it." In history, there was no example of a person dying from eating the Black Fire Spirit Root.
Teng Qingshan's body was so strong that it was impossible for anything to happen to him.
Teng Qingshan immediately sat down cross-legged. His breathing slowed down, and his spirit was completely restrained. Teng Qingshan carefully felt the changes in his muscles, bones, blood, and internal organs. The fiery energy entered his esophagus through his throat, and then quickly spread out!
This energy quickly merged into his internal organs, meridians, bones, muscles, and every other part of his body. Even the surface of his skin naturally absorbed this fiery energy.
Boom!
This energy also extended upwards and quickly filled Teng Qingshan's head. The skin on his face, eyes, ears, and so on were all fused with this energy.
"What a mysterious energy." With Teng Qingshan's perception of his body, he could clearly sense that his body, which had been cultivated to the extreme and could no longer be improved, was like a tree being watered by the miraculous Water of Life, rapidly growing taller once again. His own muscle fibers became stronger.
Especially his bones, there was an intense burning sensation!
This feeling lasted for about the time it took to drink a cup of tea, and then it slowly dissipated.
The Black Fire Spirit Root transformed into a mysterious energy that completely merged into every part of Teng Qingshan's body.
"Whew!" Teng Qingshan stood up and pulled out the Reincarnation Spear that was stabbed into the ground beside him.
"Ha!"
Teng Qingshan's strength instantly exploded. The muscles on his right arm instantly became a size thicker. His muscles were knotted together, and contained an endless amount of strength. Teng Qingshan swung the Reincarnation Spear in his hand!
Boom!
A loud explosion sounded on the flat ground. The terrifying strength of the Reincarnation Spear caused the air to instantly compress. When the spear stopped, the compressed air suddenly exploded. It was as if an invisible cannonball had exploded a large area of the bamboo forest in front of him. Many green bamboos were directly blasted apart.
"Eh, I actually increased my strength by close to 20,000 Jin!" Teng Qingshan's control over his strength was very precise, and he could clearly feel the changes in his body.
"According to the legends, eating the 'Black Fire Spirit Root' will increase one's strength by 10,000 Jin, right?" Teng Qingshan thought for a while and recalled the feeling of eating the Black Fire Spirit Root. "Yes, it's like practicing the Iron Palm in my previous life. During the training process, I had to rub some medicinal wine on my body to absorb the medicinal effects. If an ordinary person does not practice martial arts, rubbing the medicinal wine would be a waste! "
"It's the same principle. The huge amount of energy from the Black Fire Spirit Root fuses into the body. If I want to completely absorb it, I have to actively train to absorb it! Because my body has already been trained to an extremely high level, I am unable to improve any further and urgently need to absorb energy from the outside world. Only then did I stop and absorb it. Far surpassing ordinary people! "
An ordinary person's body did not have a strong need for the energy from the 'Black Fire Spirit Root', so they naturally absorbed less.
Teng Qingshan's body had a strong need, so he absorbed more.
"However, it feels like there is a lot of energy hidden in my body." Teng Qingshan was very confident in his own feelings. It was extremely difficult to fully utilize the energy of some Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures. It was impossible to absorb it 100% after swallowing it. There was definitely a lot of energy hidden in it.
Absorption was only a part of it.
"The energy is hidden in the depths of the body. If I use the 《Godly Tiger Form Technique》, my body should be able to absorb it again." Teng Qingshan nodded to himself. "When I go back, I will continue to practice the 《Godly Tiger Form Technique》." The 《Godly Tiger Form Technique》 absorbed the energy from the inside of the body.
It should be able to be used to develop the potential of the Black Fire Spirit Root.
"Go back!" Teng Qingshan held the Reincarnation Spear in his hand and transformed into a shadow. He quickly scuttled through the mountain forest and with a few leaps, he disappeared into the distance.
*****
Teng Qingshan rushed towards the camp at the foot of the Blazing Mountain.
As the cool breeze blew, Teng Qingshan's mood was very good.
"Eh?" Teng Qingshan saw a troop in front of him. It was densely packed with people from the Gui Yuan Sect. "Commander Guan, why are you here?" Teng Qingshan's body flashed and flew over.
Guan Lu was leading her troops, anxiously searching for Teng Qingshan.
She didn't find him for a long time.
But at this moment, a familiar voice sounded, and a figure appeared in front of her in a flash. Guan Lu couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in her heart. Looking at Teng Qingshan, she shouted with a straight face, "Teng Qingshan, you were chasing after that Wang Yun. Where did you go? We looked around in a big circle, but we couldn't find your shadow! "
"Commander Guan." Teng Qingshan laughed, "I was chasing after that Wang Yun. Wherever he ran, I followed. I don't even know where I ran to."
"Did you kill him?" Guan Lu asked.
"No, that old guy was too cunning." Teng Qingshan shook his head. The Black Fire Spirit Root had already been eaten by him. Of course, he couldn't admit that he killed Wang Yun.
Guan Lu shook her head and sighed, "What a pity, the Black Fire Spirit Root was taken away by him. Forget it, the Black Fire Spirit Root won't affect much! You … your clothes are tattered, are you injured? "Teng Qingshan's clothes were even more tattered than a beggar's clothes.
His body was fine, but his clothes had suffered.
"I'm fine." Teng Qingshan shook his head.
"Trying to be brave." Guan Lu snorted, then ordered, "Commandant Teng is back, let's return to camp!"
Immediately, the group of people rushed back majestically.
… …
Returning to the foot of the mountain, Ji Hong saw that Teng Qingshan had returned safely, and was overjoyed. He didn't mind that he hadn't obtained the Black Fire Spirit Root. This time, Teng Qingshan had saved his life in the magma lake, so Ji Hong's attitude towards Teng Qingshan had improved by several levels. In the evening, the Gui Yuan Sect's group had a good meal.
In the pitch-black night.
Beside a bonfire, Teng Qingshan, Ji Hong, and Guan Lu gathered.
"This time, there's only one thing left, and that is to find the Red Scaled Beast's shed Black Scaled Armor!" Ji Hong said, "Qingshan, Guan Lu, I think … for this last task, we should arrange for ten to twenty people to stay behind and search. Finding it is a good thing, but if we can't find it, then so be it. The three of us should bring the majority of the people back to Jiangning. "
Guan Lu frowned, "The Red Scaled Beast's shed Black Scaled Armor is especially large, enough to make quite a few pieces of armor! Moreover, each piece of armor is lighter than a normal heavy armor, and its defense is stronger. We should pay more attention to this' Black Scaled Armor '. "
Ever since Ji Hong had lost his arm, he had lost his fighting spirit.
He wanted to return to Jiangning now, recuperate, and casually teach the younger generation of disciples, so that he could enjoy his remaining years. He was too tired!
"The Red Scaled Beast's Black Scaled Armor should have a higher defense than my Coldsteel Inner Armor." Teng Qingshan said, "It's slightly weaker than Commander's Darksteel Armor. However … the Black Scaled Armor is obviously thin, and its weight should be much lighter. Moreover, its flexibility is better! "
Normally, it was very troublesome to deal with the joints of heavy armors.
However, the Red Scaled Beast's Black Scaled Armor was made up of scales on the outside and skin on the inside. When worn on the body, there was no need to worry about gaps in the joints.
"You two mean to seriously snatch the Red Scaled Beast's Black Scaled Armor?" Ji Hong looked at the two of them.
Guan Lu nodded.
Teng Qingshan also nodded.
Some things were hard to buy with money, such as Darksteel, Ten Thousand Years Coldsteel, Dark Gold Godly Iron, etc. The Red Scaled Beast's Black Scaled Armor was one of them.
"Sigh, I'm old." Ji Hong laughed, "Now, we still have to rely on you youngsters."
Ji Hong continued, "However, after the Red Scaled Beast swallows the 'Black Fire Spirit Fruit', it will grow again and become even bigger. At the same time, it will gradually transform … This process will probably take another month. After the Red Scaled Beast has successfully transformed, it will become extremely terrifying. Even an Innate Master would be afraid of it! Snatching its Black Scaled Armor is very dangerous. "
Guan Lu said, "The Red Scaled Beast can't always stay in its nest. We can steal it when it's not in its nest! "
"Be careful, it should be fine." Teng Qingshan also said, "Its body is huge. When the time comes, we just need to find a small place to hide, and it won't be able to chase after us."
"You guys …"
Ji Hong had been a Commander for so many years, and he understood that juniors with potential had to go through many trials and tribulations. It was hard to grow up while always being protected.
"Alright, I'll bring all the Black Armoured Corps soldiers back first! I'll leave the thirty Gui Yuan Sect core disciples to the two of you! Those thirty people's Qing Gong are much better than the Black Armoured Corps soldiers. Let them help you … Remember, don't take risks easily. Be cautious and careful! "
"Yes!"
Teng Qingshan and Guan Lu acknowledged the order.
