After entering the depths of the Soul Subduing Lava, Yan Rujun led the three of them through the underground lava river and arrived at the red crystal mine.
As they walked down the path, Yi Tian noticed that many red crystals were beginning to appear on the ground around them. Although the quality was not good, there were some shiny aphids on the crystals.
After carefully scanning them with his Divine Telekinesis, he discovered that these were Crystal Powder Butterfly larvae that had yet to emerge from their cocoons. Fortunately, they did not have much offensive power, but he was on high alert.
He privately instructed Hua Yuxin to open up the protective barrier and protect himself. He was afraid that there would be a fierce battle waiting for him.
The three of them walked straight down the path and arrived at a spacious cave. Although there was no light and they could not see their own fingers, they could extend their Divine Telekinesis without any hindrance. They could see the situation in the cave clearly with their Divine Telekinesis.
This was an empty cave that was a few thousand feet wide. Apart from the path they came from, there was another path that led to an unknown place. In the center of the cave, the red crystal ore that grew out of the ground had grown as tall as a small mountain and was almost connected to the top of the cave.
These red crystal ores were shining with a crystal clear light, and there seemed to be a red flame flickering within. Upon closer inspection, there was a naturally formed and concentrated part of the red crystal mother. It was the red crystal marrow.
This thing was the condensation of almost all the essence of the red crystal ores in the cave. In other words, it was the red crystal mother that was able to produce so many red crystal ores because it absorbed the underground spirit qi.
The Crystal Powder Butterflies attached to the red crystal ores lived on this. Now that he was going to cut off their roots, he would definitely be attacked by the butterflies.
Although it was still peaceful for now, it would be a different situation after Yan Rujun dug out the red crystal marrow.
He took out a few sticks of incense and lit them. Then, he quietly scattered them around the red crystal stone pillar that was as thick as a water bucket. The smell of the incense quickly drove away the nearby Crystal Powder Butterflies.
He took the opportunity to take out a five-inch shovel and flew through the air, turning it into a five-foot shovel. With a crack, the shovel dug into the center of the red crystal stone pillar. After two or three shovels, it was almost at the core of the pillar.
At this moment, Ying suddenly felt a burst of panic for no reason. He saw hundreds and thousands of weak spiritual energy fluctuations suddenly gathering around him. After scanning the area with his Divine Will, he discovered that Yan Rujun's actions had stirred them up.
He raised the Taiyuan Sword and called out in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Yan, hurry up. I estimate we have less than ten breaths of time left."
"Brother Yi, hold it off for a while. Give me eight breaths, no, five breaths will be enough." After saying that, Yan Rujun made a series of hand seals and controlled the shovel to break the red crystal pillar in half. He then returned with a lump of ore the size of a baby's head.
All of a sudden, the Blight Crystal Butterflies swarmed towards the three of them. Yi Tian reacted quickly and brandished his Taiyuan Sword, which transformed into thousands of sword silks to meet the butterflies.
He then heard Yan Rujun exclaim in shock, "Brilliant Spirit Qian Hua, you're from the Feiyu Kenshū Sect? You're the Patrol Envoy!" After saying that, he revealed a look of shock.
Immediately after, he lit the incense in his hand and condensed it into a ball of fire to protect his body before fleeing.
Yi Tian's heart sank. It was one thing for his move to be recognized, but he didn't think that the other party would be so startled that they would hastily flee like a bird startled by the twang of a bow.
Originally, the three of them should have been able to suppress the Blight Crystal Butterflies. However, the current situation was impossible to resolve.
Yi Tian was quick-witted. He turned around and grabbed Hua Yuxin's hand, preparing to escape. However, after using his Divine Will, a trace of bitterness appeared on his face. More than half of the Blight Crystal Butterflies that had been chasing after Yan Rujun had entered the tunnel.
If he were to enter now, it would be no different from walking right into a trap. Furthermore, the remaining several hundred butterflies were hastily rushing towards him.
Glancing at the tunnel on the other side of the tunnel, Yi Tian said in a low voice, "Let's go the other way." He then pulled Hua Yuxin and teleported through the stone room to the other tunnel. Without another word, he had Hua Yuxin enter the tunnel first. He once again used his Brilliant Spirit Qian Hua to strike down the Blight Crystal Butterflies that were chasing after them.
After confirming that there were no Blight Crystal Butterflies behind them, Yi Tian hurriedly entered the tunnel and met up with Hua Yuxin. They then proceeded forward.
The pain was so intense that they didn't know where it led to. However, Yi Tian was certain that the two of them were continuously moving downwards. Releasing his Divine Will, he discovered that the Blight Crystal Butterflies hadn't followed them. Although he was secretly delighted, he also felt a sense of unease. Since the butterflies didn't dare to enter, then he was temporarily safe. However, he didn't know where the tunnel led to.
He asked in a low voice, "Yuxin, are you alright?"
"Lord Husband, I'm fine. I just don't know how to get back." Hua Yuxin couldn't help but reveal a worried expression.
As someone who had experienced countless battles, his mood naturally wouldn't be affected by the environment. However, this was the first time that Hua Yuxin had encountered such a situation, so it was inevitable that her mood would fluctuate.
He immediately comforted her, "It's fine. Let's continue down. I'm here for you."
Feeling the sweat on Hua Yuxin's hand, Yi Tian turned around and picked up Hua Yuxin. Then, he strode into the depths of the tunnel.
A moment later, his Divine Will discovered that the exit of the tunnel was twenty feet away. Although he didn't know what the path ahead was, he still had to face it.
He quietly walked over. After exiting the tunnel, he discovered that the two of them had arrived at an underground cave. However, this place exuded a dense demonic aura. Thinking about it, this was the only time he had felt this way in Kui Sha Cave.
He reached out and took out the Glazed Buddha Beads. After handing them to Hua Yuxin, he said, "Take this and use it to protect your body. Don't let the demonic aura affect your mind."
"Lord Husband, if you give me the spiritual tool, what will happen to you?" Hua Yuxin said anxiously with a worried expression.
"It's fine. I have my ways." After speaking, he took out the Taiyuan Sword. After activating the sword silk, he interweaved a sword net around his body.
Then, he slowly walked into the cave with Hua Yuxin. He took out the Night Pearl and held it in his hand to illuminate the surroundings. Suddenly, Yi Tian saw a lot of golden seal text engraved on the stone wall. After carefully examining it, Yi Tian said with a shocked expression, "We're in trouble. This is the Demon Refining Cave. It's the place where those powerful cultivators refined the demonic weapons and extracted the demonic aura."
"Then how do we extract the demonic aura?" Hua Yuxin asked puzzledly.
Yi Tian turned his head and replied, "Is it very cruel to use a living sacrifice to refine it?"
Hearing the words "living sacrifice", Hua Yuxin's expression changed. She said, "Then did a lot of demons die in there?"
"Not only demons, but also demon pets and demonic beasts. Moreover, the living sacrifice only extracts their flesh and blood essence. The souls of those demons are still sealed in the depths of the cave. If we continue down, we will definitely encounter them. We have to think of a way to expel them. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to return to the surface. "Yi Tian said in a low voice.
