I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 265: Fire Phoenix Blood Pearl Appears
The basin has an undulating terrain and is covered with primeval forests with various vegetation.

Most of the vegetation here is very large, and some of the herbaceous plants have leaves that are several people tall.

The trees are huge and towering into the sky.

The basin is surrounded by mountains with gentle slopes.

It is also covered with various huge vegetation.

Above the basin, all kinds of magical birds were circling in the air, swooping down from time to time, or spewing long fire dragons at the mountains and forests, or suddenly grabbing some magical beasts from the mountain basin and then soaring into the sky.

The roars of monsters could be heard one after another in the basins and mountains, from different distances.

The aura of various monsters filled this ancient desolate land, making people feel as if they had suddenly entered a dragon's den or a tiger's lair.

Xia Daoming stood at the entrance of the passage with a solemn expression and high alert.

The number and strength of the monster aura here far exceeds that of Fire Copper Ridge and Lava Abyss.

Especially in the depths of the basin and the heights of the mountains, even though the breath emitted was very far away, it still brought Xia Daoming an indescribable feeling of palpitations.

For a moment, Xia Daoming even wanted to turn around and leave.

Anyway, he has made a lot of money on this trip.

But when he thought of the Nirvana Rebirth Fruit and the Fire Phoenix Blood Pearl, Xia Daoming finally gritted his teeth and circulated his qi and blood to his eyes.

The specific conditions in the mountains and basins are obscured by dense vegetation. Now, looking around from outside, we can only make a rough judgement to see where is relatively suitable to start.

You can only know where the treasures are and where the danger is less by actually entering the basin forest or climbing the mountain.

"Hey, there are traces of people fighting with monsters!"

Soon Xia Daoming discovered that there were signs of fighting in the jungle not far away, and there were still traces of human blood and some torn cloth in several places.

"The Jindan cultivators from the five major immortal cultivation families have all died. It seems that the ones fighting the monster must be the Jindan cultivators from Xuantian Pavilion." Xia Daoming picked up a piece of rag and looked at the path ahead where someone was passing, his eyes revealing a look of thought and decision.

Soon, Xia Daoming threw away the rag, turned around and walked towards the basin forest in the opposite direction of the Jindan cultivators from Xuantian Pavilion.

Originally, it would be safer to follow the Jindan cultivators of Xuantian Pavilion and let them lead the way for him.

However, in doing so, he would run the risk of exposing his identity, and ultimately he would have no choice but to kill the person to silence him.

Xuantian Pavilion is the ruler of the Great Xuanyu. In fact, Qingyuan Sect has to obey the orders of Xuantian Pavilion. There is no hatred between the two sides.

Xia Daoming is not the kind of person who would kill innocent people at will for his own benefit.

If it is not necessary, I would not want to kill someone to silence them.

Moreover, if one of the five opponents were to leak out, with the strength of Xuantian Pavilion, he would probably be captured immediately as soon as he left the ancient ruins, and he would not even have a chance to escape.

Therefore, Xia Daoming finally chose to stay away from the five people.

Two days later.

In the primeval forest, under a towering fire cypress tree on a mound, Xia Daoming sat cross-legged, occasionally putting a small piece of red fire Polygonum multiflorum into his mouth to restore his energy and blood.

The opportunities in the restricted area are indeed far superior to those outside.

Precious medicinal herbs like fire nettle and dragon-sparrow grass that help to form elixir are hard to find in Huotong Ridge. It would be considered very good if you can find three or five plants after searching for ten days or half a month.

In the restricted area, although the precious medicinal materials that help to form elixir are not everywhere, you can always see some every time you walk a distance.

However, the medicinal materials that help to form pills here are often the habitats of level 4 early and middle level monsters, or even level 4 high level monsters, and there will be monsters guarding them.

So if you want to pick it, you have to fight.

If there were only one or two level 4 primary monsters guarding, it would be fine. With the combat power of the five people from Xuantian Pavilion, they could quickly defeat the enemy and take them away quickly.

But if it were guarded by a group of level 4 primary-stage monsters, or level 4 intermediate-stage monsters, the Jindan cultivators of Xuantian Pavilion would not dare to pick it, for fear of being dragged down, wasting too much true energy and magic power, or even attracting powerful monsters.

Their real goal in entering the restricted area is to obtain rare medicinal materials that can help break the elixir and become an infant, as well as help Nascent Soul cultivators improve their cultivation and even break through bottlenecks.

If they find that kind of medicinal material, they will fight hard even if the one guarding the elixir is a high-level level 4 monster.

Therefore, they must conserve their strength.

Don't let the small lose the big.

This also led to the situation that every time the ancient ruins were opened, Jindan cultivators had a lot of trouble entering the restricted area, but they could only watch with heartache as many precious medicinal materials that helped to form the elixir passed by them.

Xia Daoming is different.

He had the Mountain God's Sceptre in his hand. Except for a few stubborn and short-sighted Level 4 primary and intermediate monsters that dared to attack him, the other Level 4 primary and intermediate monsters stared at him with fear and unwillingness when they saw him enter the territory, and did not dare to attack.

Xia Daoming would not do anything to these level 4 primary and intermediate monsters who were discerning and willing to save their face. Instead, he would give them some face and only pick the ripe spiritual fruits or spiritual medicines of a certain age, leaving the rest to them. As for the few stubborn ones, Xia Daoming would naturally not be polite and would kill them directly, taking away their monster cores and the materials for refining.

Anyway, he has a lot of talismans on hand. With his strength, he can deal with monsters of this level that have no intelligence. As long as he uses the talismans to interfere with them slightly, he can usually kill them with one blow without wasting much energy and blood.

Even if he really consumed some of his energy, blood and strength, he had the Red Fire Polygonum multiflorum in his hand, so it was easy and quick to replenish and recover.

Of course, if a Nascent Soul cultivator knew that this kid actually used Red Fire Polygonum multiflorum to replenish his Qi, blood and strength, he would definitely be furious and vomit blood.

With his strength and the intimidation of the Mountain God's Scepter, Xia Daoming actually collected nearly a hundred spiritual medicines that were helpful for forming elixirs, as well as ten demon cores and many refining materials in just two days.

However, up to now, he has not found any rare medicinal herbs that can help break the elixir and become an infant or help Nascent Soul cultivators. As for the Nirvana Rebirth Fruit and the Fire Phoenix Blood Pearl, there is not even a trace of them.

"Twelve days have passed, and there are only eight days left before the passage opens. Excluding the day for the return trip, I only have seven days left to search for the Nirvana Rebirth Fruit and the Fire Phoenix Blood Pearl.

Opportunities are fleeting. I finally had the chance to enter the ancient ruins of Nirvana. If I missed this chance, it would be two hundred years later, and by then my master would have passed away.

It seems that we can no longer just fight around the periphery, we must quickly advance to the center. If there is nothing in the center of the basin, we must quickly search for it in the surrounding mountains."

After taking a small piece of Red Fire Polygonum multiflorum, Xia Daoming's condition quickly returned to its peak.

He looked into the depths of the forest, a look of determination in his eyes.

Soon, he headed deep into the forest.

Two hours later, Xia Daoming, who was traveling through the forest, suddenly heard the roars of various monsters and the earth-shaking sounds of fighting coming from the distance on the left.

There were powerful auras rising into the sky like wolf smoke, and even though Xia Daoming was far away, he could still feel a palpitating and oppressive feeling.

"What's going on? It seems like several level four high-level monsters are fighting. Could it be that some precious medicinal herbs have matured?" Xia Daoming's heart moved, and he quickly jumped up and landed on the crown of a towering tree, then looked in the direction where the noise came from.

That place is estimated to be hundreds of miles away. The specific scene is affected by the special environment of the restricted area, the light is distorted, and it is not clear.

But vaguely one could see two extremely dazzling red lights rising into the sky like thick pillars of fire, and two huge phoenix shadows appeared in the air, emitting an extremely terrifying aura.

"That is... Fire Phoenix Blood Pearls, and there are two of them!" Xia Daoming subconsciously recalled the scene of the True Dragon Blood Pearls being unearthed. He was shocked and ran wildly to the left without thinking.

The Fire Phoenix Blood Pearl is related to his forging of the Zhongyuan Crimson Palace, and he must get it!
-
"It's the Fire Phoenix Blood Pearls! And there are two of them!"

The five people from Xuantian Pavilion, including the cultivator surnamed Che, looked at the lava lake two hundred feet away. Their eyes were red, revealing greed and madness.

In the center of the lava lake, there are two blood-red beads as big as pigeon eggs, emitting flames and floating up and down with the lava.

The flames that were emitted shot up into the sky and formed a shocking pillar of fire, and even transformed into the shadow of a fire phoenix.

The phantom of the fire phoenix circled high in the sky, like a god overlooking all living things, emitting indescribable majesty and dominance.

Around the lava lake, many trees were uprooted or broken in half. There were corpses of monsters lying on the ground, with their bellies torn open by sharp claws, intestines and internal organs scattered all over the ground, and blood gushing out.

There were also many places where the ground cracked, geysers and magma gushed out, creating a mess.

In this devastated area, there were ten powerful monsters either crouching or hovering in the air, staring at each other covetously, but none of them took the initiative to seize the treasure.

Just now, there was a melee here.

Those below the high level of level four, or even those with relatively weaker strength among the high level of level four, had either been cleared out or were lying dead on the ground.

Now there are only the ten most powerful level four high-level monsters left in this area.

They are all the kings in this area, and they are very aware of each other's strength. They usually guard their own territories and do not interfere with each other.

But today, the Fire Phoenix Blood Pearl was suddenly unearthed, and these kings are certainly unwilling to give in. They want to fight it out for the Blood Pearl.

"Brother Che, what should we do? There are ten level four high-level monsters here. If we want to seize the Fire Phoenix Blood Pearl, it's like trying to grab a chestnut from the fire!" said the cultivator named Du who had a broken arm.

Just now his eyes were red and crazy, and he wanted to rush up and grab the blood bead, but now he has calmed down.

Just now when he was passing through the passage, he had his arm torn off by the sharp claws of a monster. The close call with death not only made him cherish life more, but also made him realize that although he, a Jindan cultivator, was very powerful outside, he was nothing here.

If you rush up to seize it, you will have the highest chance of death among the five people!
“This is the Fire Phoenix Blood Pearl. Once a foundation-building cultivator consumes the Four Symbols Pill made from this blood pearl and forms a golden elixir, not only will his foundation be strong, but he will also have a greater hope of breaking through the elixir and becoming an infant in the future than other golden elixir cultivators.

Moreover, this blood bead is one of the main ingredients for refining the Phoenix Blood Heavenly Fire Pill. If we take this pill, we can induce the heavenly fire to temper the golden pill, removing the dross and retaining the essence. Then we will have more hope of breaking the pill and becoming an infant.

Otherwise, with the talents of the five of us, it would be almost impossible to break the pill and become an infant." Senior Brother Che's eyes were still filled with greed and passion.

Although he has cultivated to the middle stage of the Golden Core, his remaining life span is only a mere hundred years or so.

In more than a hundred years, if there is no great opportunity, cultivating to the late Jindan stage is already the limit, and the Yuanying stage is simply impossible.

But if he could obtain this blood bead, and then find a way to gather the other medicinal materials and refine it into the Phoenix Blood and Heavenly Fire Pill, then even if he only had a hundred years left to live, there would still be hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage.
