Lu Ye settled down on the Giant Red Star.
The Talent Tree's power was activated. While the internal fuel reserves were constantly increasing, the psionic energy was also being refined and turned into his own magical power to strengthen his foundation.
After his observation, this Giant Red Star was different from ordinary stars. The entire surface of the Giant Red Star was flowing with magma. The deeper he went, the more terrifying the temperature became.
Lu Ye took out the Fire Gourd.
This trip was mainly for the Talent Tree's transformation. In order for the Talent Tree to transform, it had to rely on the special fire nurtured by the Fire Gourd.
Holding the Fire Gourd and activating his magical power, the gourd's mouth suddenly emitted a suction force, absorbing the surrounding heat energy.
However, Lu Ye soon frowned because he found that the Fire Gourd's absorption efficiency was not very high. This made him somewhat puzzled.
Logically speaking, with such an abundant fire energy gathering place, the Fire Gourd's absorption efficiency should not be too low. However, in reality, if the special fire was being nurtured at this speed, it would not be as effective as the Fire Gourd's absorption of various fire elemental resources.
After pondering for a while, Lu Ye vaguely understood the problem.
In the past, the Fire Gourd's absorption of fire elemental resources was directly digesting the food into its stomach. Now, the Fire Gourd was only smelling the food. Naturally, the efficiency could not be compared to before.
Since that was the case, Lu Ye activated his magical power again, trying to make the Fire Gourd swallow the flowing magma-like substance into the gourd. However, what puzzled him was that no matter how hard he tried, he could not do it.
He activated his magical power again, enveloping a lump of magma and trying to send it into the gourd. However, the Fire Gourd emitted a repulsive force and he could not send it in at all.
This was strange.
Lu Ye observed with rapt attention.
After a long while, he finally found some clues.
Although the magma flowing on the Giant Red Star was filled with terrifying heat energy, it could also be considered a fire elemental resource. However, it did not only contain heat energy, but also other things. The Fire Gourd could only absorb a part of it. Most of it could not be accepted, which was why it rejected it.
The fire elemental resources he used to let the Fire Gourd devour were different. Most of the fire elemental resources could be accepted by the Fire Gourd.
Realizing this, Lu Ye realized that he had underestimated the situation.
However, it did not matter. Although the Fire Gourd's efficiency of nurturing the special fire would not meet expectations, it would just take more time.
With this thought in mind, he calmly waited.
A few days later, Lu Ye suddenly opened his eyes and unsheathed the Pan Mountain Saber at his waist. Divine Wind Spirit Marks flickered on the blade.
A huge force came from below, causing him to tremble slightly.
Lu Ye was surprised. Although he was only at the early Sunshine Realm, his foundation was extremely solid. His physical strength alone was superior to that of demons of the same level. He didn't know what was attacking him. Not only was it extremely stealthy, it was also extremely powerful.
Carrying doubts, he stretched out his hand and grabbed downwards, rummaging through the scorching lava for a while before quickly lifting up a strange looking object.
This thing was fiery red, like a monkey without a tail or hair. Its two eyes took up half of its face, and there were a few fangs at the corner of its mouth.
Star beast! There were actually star beasts in this place.
There was a puncture wound on the beast's head. It was obviously caused by the Pan Mountain Saber. This was also a fatal wound. Judging from the remnant aura on its body, this star beast was at Yue Yao's level.
However, on second thought, if star beasts lived in a place like the Wanxiang Sea, it was not strange for there to be star beasts on this giant red star.
And star beasts living in such a place...
Lu Ye scanned the area with his divine sense and quickly found its location. He took out a crystal core from the star beast's body.
As expected, a star beast that could live in such a place must have a fire-elemental crystal core. Such a crystal core would be worth at least ten or twenty thousand spirit jades in the Wanxiang Sea.
Lu Ye casually stuffed it into the Fire Gourd. This time, the Fire Gourd did not reject it. It swallowed it just like how it had swallowed fire-elemental resources in the past.
Obviously, the special fire inside the Fire Gourd had grown a little stronger. Compared to before, it was much more efficient.
After this small incident, Lu Ye continued with his business.
However, what surprised him was that in the next half a month, star beasts like the one from before would attack him from time to time.
It seemed that there were many star beasts living on this giant red star, and they were all from the same clan.
These star beasts had the geographical advantage and launched sneak attacks from below. If Lu Ye's divine sense was not strong enough now, he might have been hit.
The star beasts that attacked sometimes came alone, sometimes in groups of three to five. Their strengths were also different. There were Yue Yao's and Xingxiu's.
However, without exception, no matter how many of them came, they all became nutrients for the Fire Gourd's special fire.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Since Lu Ye came here, the first special fire was successfully nurtured.
Lu Ye sighed with emotion. There was no way to compare the efficiency with before. In the past, it only took a few days to nurture the special fire. Now, it took so long.
This was also thanks to the star beasts that contributed their crystal cores. If the Fire Gourd had to rely on its own devouring, it would take at least a month to nurture the special fire.
However, on second thought, he had spent money in the past. Now, he was doing a business without any capital. Naturally, there was no comparison.
He activated the power of the Talent Tree. His roots reached into the mouth of the Fire Gourd and swallowed the special fire. He observed the Talent Tree. As expected, it did not show any signs of transforming. It was obvious that the conditions for the Talent Tree to transform had not been met.
There was still a long way to go!
On this day, Lu Ye was sitting quietly. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked down with narrowed eyes.
The star beasts had come to ambush him again. Although the other party was very secretive, he still noticed some clues.
Recently, life had been very boring. Fighting with the star beasts here was one of the few pleasures he had. Moreover, the star beasts' crystal cores could increase the speed of nurturing the special fire. Lu Ye naturally wanted as many star beasts as possible.
He raised his hand and placed it on the Mountain Blade. He only needed to wait for the right opportunity to deal a fatal blow.
However, in the next moment, Lu Ye suddenly felt that the star beasts this time … seemed a little different from before.
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, the star beast under the lava suddenly accelerated. At the same time, Lu Ye unsheathed his Mountain Blade and ruthlessly stabbed down.
A powerful force attacked, and Lu Ye flew into the air. A figure flashed under the lava.
Lu Ye rapidly fell down. The long blade in his hand slashed out a series of afterimages. However, the star beast had already disappeared. Under the surging magic power, only the lava was stirred up.
Standing in the same place, Lu Ye was surprised.
He didn't expect there to be a Sunshine level star beast here. Moreover, the moment of contact just now proved that the star beast wasn't an ordinary one. It was at least equivalent to the middle Sunshine level.
Lu Ye didn't care much if it was only at the middle Sunshine level. However, the environment here was obviously very conducive to the star beast's performance. Such a middle Sunshine level star beast definitely had the deterrence of a late Sunshine level star beast.
It was a pity that he couldn't kill it. If the core of such a powerful star beast was devoured by the Fire Gourd, it would definitely be able to nurture the second special fire faster.
Lu Ye didn't pay much attention to the Sunshine star beast. Who would have thought that it would be so persistent?
After the first failed ambush, the star beast didn't show any fear. Instead, it seemed to be angered by Lu Ye. Every few days, it would ambush him.
More importantly, the star beast was extremely secretive every time it moved. Moreover, it had the style of a ghost cultivator. After missing its attack, it would immediately run away. This annoyed Lu Ye immensely.
He came here for the transformation of his talent tree. How could he have the time to fight a battle of wits and courage with such a star beast?
Once, Lu Ye was enraged. He chased the star beast into the interior of the giant red star. In the end, he returned disappointed. He couldn't find any trace of the star beast at all.
The interior of the giant red star was extremely harsh. Even if Lu Ye went deep inside, his Divine Telekinesis couldn't spread too far. He couldn't grasp the star beast's whereabouts at all.
Helpless, he could only change his position.
Lu Ye thought that this would settle the matter peacefully. However, the Sunshine star beast obviously didn't think so. Even if Lu Ye changed his position, it still accurately found him and constantly harassed him.
It seemed that Lu Ye had killed too many star beasts before, which made it hold a grudge against him.
A few days later, Lu Ye sat cross-legged on the giant red star. Below him, the Sunshine star beast slowly approached him. Its aura was restrained to the extreme. Even Lu Ye didn't notice it at all.
Although star beasts didn't have much spiritual intelligence, sometimes their superior instincts were more difficult to deal with than their spiritual intelligence. After fighting with Lu Ye many times, it had a rough idea of Lu Ye's background. It knew the best way to approach Lu Ye secretly and when to attack.
The distance kept closing, but the star beast didn't reveal any of its aura. It only attacked when it reached an extreme position.
In the past, every time it attacked at this time, Lu Ye would react and it would escape.
However, this time, Lu Ye didn't move at all. It was as if he didn't notice it.
The star beast's simple spiritual intelligence couldn't understand why, but it didn't think too much about it. Its instincts told it that this was an opportunity.
A large, hairless hand reached out of the magma, aiming straight for Lu Ye's heart. The five fingers on the hand shone with a cold light, sharper than most Dharma treasures in the world.
It pierced through Lu Ye's protective Dharma power in one strike. Perhaps Lu Ye's life would be taken in the next moment.
However, at this moment, Lu Ye's Dharma power surged wildly. He suddenly opened his eyes.
With a thought, layers of defensive spirit tattoos formed, protecting his vital points.
At the same time, he reached out and grabbed the star beast's arm. With the other hand, he unsheathed his saber and slashed down!
The star beast's vigilance was too high. He could only use this method to make it lower its guard. Fortunately, the star beast's spiritual intelligence wasn't high. That was why he had a chance to succeed. The problem of spiritual intelligence was also the weakness of most star beasts. This was the only thing he could use. (End of Chapter)
