Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 157 Alien Beasts
It represents extremely sharp metals and precious materials with strong fire properties.

Xu Heng pondered for a moment, then rummaged through his sleeve bag and found a piece of gold and iron the size of his little finger. He asked, "Fellow Daoist, take a look. Is this thing usable?"

"Is this meteorite iron?" Wei Haizhi took it in his hand, turned it over and over to examine it, and couldn't help showing a look of pity on his face. He said, "I don't know who melted this thing, it really has too many impurities mixed in."

Xu Heng was secretly ashamed. Wasn't this iron the product that he had refined for a quarter of an hour using the Xuan Xiao Five Flames Seal?

My origin is already very pure, but I never thought that in the eyes of weapon masters, it is actually very vulgar.

"Hmm..." Wei Haizhi didn't know what Xu Heng was thinking. He turned the meteorite iron with his fingertips and thought: "Maybe I can try to refine this meteorite iron."

"But this iron is already so small, even if it is refined, it may not be enough to meet the material needs."

After all, the goal is to refine a flying sword. Even if the material requirements are small, they cannot be met with just a little bit.

Xu Heng nodded and said, "It seems that this thing still doesn't work, so we can only look for it again."

Wei Hai thought for a moment and said, "Let me look through the weapon book and see if I can come up with a solution."

Xu Heng cupped his hands and said, "In that case, thank you very much, fellow Taoist."

Wei Haizhi smiled slightly and soon said goodbye and left. Xu Heng returned to the room and sat down, picked up the jade carving book again, and thought about where to find this precious material.

Although Wei Haizhi has been looking for a purchase from outsiders, this kind of rare precious material does not appear all the time, so it is possible that it will take several years.

"Suzaku Stone, Great Sun Fire Crystal...Phoenix Feather?"

When Xu Heng read this, he couldn't help himself. Using the phoenix feathers to refine a magical flying sword, wouldn't that be a waste of nature's resources?

However, all the treasures listed by Wei Haizhi have one thing in common. Not only are they strong in their own "fire nature", they can also directly release huge firepower and fire energy, and can even affect other things, causing them to also breed fire nature...

According to legend, if a phoenix feather falls, a thousand miles of red land will be nothing but a bright fire that will not go out for thousands of years, and the sand, rocks, grass and trees will gradually turn into fire.

"Hmm?" Thinking of this, Xu Heng suddenly had a vague sense of something, but he couldn't quite grasp it, so he frowned and began to ponder.

"Nourish the fire nature..." Xu Heng suddenly flipped his hand, and a light red gem appeared in his palm.

This Fire Spirit Pearl was given to him by Senior Brother Li Linquan when they were in Tianchi Mountain. When he held it in his hand during practice, it would increase the fire nature of his magic power. It seemed to be quite suitable for his needs at the moment?

Unfortunately, the fire property of the Fire Spirit Pearl had been almost exhausted during Xu Heng's ten years of practice, and it could no longer be used as a treasure.

"It's not this thing." Xu Heng denied what he thought, but the feeling in his heart became clearer.

He pondered for a long time, then suddenly stood up and went out, riding on a flame straight up into the clouds, actually escaping the rotation of the sun and the moon, and arrived at a volcanic island under the starry night.

This volcanic island is where Xu Heng's body was condensed in the past.

Xu Heng stood on the crater, watching the magma surge for a while, and then turned into fire and disappeared into it. Xu Heng had an idea in his mind, but it still needed to be verified.

He fled quickly downwards and soon arrived at the place where the Nine Yin True Evil was in the past.

This place is already four or five thousand feet deep from the ground, but Xu Heng's magical powers are no longer what they used to be, and he is not afraid of diving too deep and encountering any danger. Therefore, he still has no intention of stopping and continues to look for the source of the fire vein.

After passing another three or four thousand feet, Xu Heng intuitively felt that the situation was narrow and the fire was strong, so he was not surprised but happy.

He once speculated that this volcanic island was not formed by natural evolution, but was formed by a meteorite falling into the sea, including the Nine Yin True Evil, which was carried by the meteorite.

Back then, Xu Heng was concerned about the Nine Yin True Evil and did not think about the meaning behind it. But now when he recalls it again, he feels that the fire vein in it...is it the same?
It's not formed by the fire from the earth's lungs, but something brought by the meteorites that has been releasing firepower all the time?
Xu Heng came here with a slight possibility in mind, but now it has been vaguely confirmed.

Although this place is eight or nine thousand feet deep, in reality, it may just touch the bottom of the sea. It is still very far away from the deep earth and the lungs of the earth, but it is close to the source of the fire veins.

Doesn't this prove that this fire vein does have another origin?

Xu Heng's spirits lifted slightly, and he was about to rush inside, but he suddenly felt something in his heart, and he couldn't help but look to the side.

In this place with complex terrain and raging flames everywhere, he actually felt a trace of life breath, which was approaching him rapidly.

"Living creatures?" Xu Heng was very surprised. He knew that anything could be born deep underground. According to legends, there were some strange races that were born from the foul air in the ground, and some even evolved into a certain civilization.

But those things are actually not ordinary creatures, and they do not have such a unique and vibrant breath of "life".

That thing was moving very fast. Before Xu Heng could think about it, its aura was already close. Xu Heng instantly felt a desire filled with predatory desire, coming towards him nakedly.

Xu Heng raised his eyebrows, and his body moved as if by lightning, moving dozens of feet to the side. Then he saw a huge black shadow rushing towards him, but it clearly missed him and turned around to follow closely.

"What is this?" Xu Heng saw the thing clearly. It was shaped like a salamander and a ichthyosaur, with six legs and a body more than ten feet long. It was covered with a shell that seemed to be solidified from lava, forming a unique texture.

This was the first time Xu Heng had seen this strange creature. There seemed to be no record of it in Taoist books, and he didn't know if it was some ancient species living underground. When its bloody mouth opened and closed, hot fluid gushed out, as if what was flowing in its body was not blood, but boiling magma.

"Interesting." Xu Heng thought to himself, "What kind of treasure is inside? Could it be some kind of natural treasure? There is actually such a strange beast guarding it. I wonder if it can be used by me?"

But no matter whether it is suitable or not, it is definitely not an ordinary treasure. Even if it cannot be used as a treasure material, it will be much easier to exchange it for the necessary things from the fire monk.

As for the lava monster, he didn't pay much attention to it. He just hid his breath, trying to avoid it, and then moved forward.

However, he didn't expect that the beast knew Xu Heng's position very well and continued to chase him. Especially when it found that Xu Heng was approaching the source of the fire, it became even more violent.

If at the beginning, the lava beast came with the desire to hunt, now it was filled with malice.

Xu Heng suddenly felt a pricking sensation like needles pricking his skin. Looking back, he saw the beast's bloody mouth open, with a pillar of turbid fire suddenly spewing out from inside.
