I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 437 Going to the Ground
Then Li Ming gently stretched out his hand, and a gust of energy rolled down a long sword. This move shocked the old man. After all, although his Xia family had withdrawn from the world, they left behind many things. He also knew that this was an innate master, and he couldn't help but think of it.

"No wonder Xu Wan is so afraid of him. I thought he had an extraordinary background, but it turns out he relied on his own strength to suppress him. Such a young innate master. Hiss, if that's the case, it's better."

Having read this, the old man stroked his beard, as if he had made up his mind.

Li Mingze took the long sword in his hand and looked at it carefully. He saw that the sword was dark black all over, and the sword body and the hilt were made of one piece. The sword tip flashed with cold light. He waved it twice casually in his hand, and immediately two sharp sword auras were emitted, breaking several pieces of gravel.

Li Ming pondered for a moment, then took out another long sword and practiced with it as well.

Seeing Li Ming's calm expression, the old man said, "Is this distinguished guest not suitable for you?"

Li Ming smiled and said, "How dare I hope so?"

The old man said, "Although these are treasures of my Xia family, they are all made by later generations imitating the skills of their ancestors. They are naturally rare and precious weapons in the future, but if you use them, they are somewhat unsuitable."

"Oh?" Li Ming looked at the old man and said, "Could it be that the old man still has some precious treasures?"

The old man nodded and said, "It's not that I'm hiding it on purpose, but it's a bit dangerous to get the treasure."

Li Ming laughed and said, "What I fear most in my life is danger!"

The old man said, "The weapons hanging here were forged by our Xia family's descendants after they moved here. However, there are two other weapons that were once famous Xia family weapons. They were later sunk into the lava and refined using secret methods. Unfortunately, too much time has passed and the mechanisms used to expand them can no longer withstand the underground firepower and are now unable to be activated. If you find these weapons unsatisfactory, we can try to repair them. I'm sure you won't be disappointed!"

Listening to the old man's words, Li Ming cheered up again. Although these weapons were not bad, they were indeed as the old man said. In the hands of acquired warriors, they were first-class products. However, they were only about the same as the previous black gold sticks, and there was no essential difference.

It's not that it can't be used, it's just better than nothing, so it's a bit disappointing.

However, if this ancestral magic weapon could be taken out, it would definitely be of great benefit!

Later, Li Ming asked in detail. Perhaps because this matter was also a regret for the ancestors of the Xia family, the record was very detailed. Old man Xia also told everything he knew, and described in detail the composition of the mechanism and the approximate location where the magic weapon was lost.

Then Old Man Xia said, "You are already an innate master, with a strong and powerful inner energy. You can resist this underground fire vein that has not yet revived. It will consume a lot of inner energy, but the key point of the mechanism is not deep. As long as you are quick, it is not dangerous."

Li Ming laughed and said, "It's only a few dozen meters, what's the difficulty?"

Without saying anything else, he turned over and jumped into the cave. What he saw was endless dark red heat, and lava and fire were surging between heaven and earth. The endless heat emitted a blazing white, which made people's eyes hurt. The strong energy around Li Ming supported a chicken egg-like protective shield, which seemed to be a golden bell, isolating the hot lava.

However, an extremely high temperature still seeped in. Li Ming knew that he did not have much time, not to mention the limitations of oxygen and his own internal energy.

I immediately dived down and saw that the magma was glowing, and there seemed to be a vein of liquid iron flowing through it.

Li Ming moved forward along the molten iron vein, identified the direction of the underground fire vein, and passed several lava undercurrents. He carefully avoided those underground fire nodes that seemed to be about to revive, and finally found a fire hole in the ground.

Seeing the golden light struggling in the endless fire in the distance, Li Ming was shocked. He finally found it!
At the same time, looking at the various runes faintly visible on the surrounding rock walls, he knew that he had already deduced that this place was indeed a legacy left by the ancients, as Old Master Ruxia had said. A magic array had been set up underground to confine the power of the underground fire, allowing only tiny leaks to seep out. Otherwise, even Li Ming, a master of the innate realm, would never have dared to jump into the underground fire pool like this. He just didn't know if it was originally for refining weapons or alchemy.

As for the two magical weapons of the Xia family, after the iron chains connecting them were melted, they seemed to be pulled over by the power of the formation, and the power of the formation around them became stronger and stronger.

Using fire to refine metal, this formation naturally utilizes earth fire as energy, releasing energy outward at a very constant speed, while systematically training the weapons in the formation.

Li Ming took a few steps closer and saw a golden light shining in the underground fire hole. The underground fire was white and wrapped around the golden light.

Li Ming didn't dare to go forward easily. This was the place where the weapons were refined in the center of the formation. Even if he had the internal energy to protect his body, if he accidentally got contaminated by it, he would still lose a layer of skin.

But at this moment, Li Ming felt that his internal energy seemed to have been consumed by nearly half. Knowing that he could not delay any longer, he hurried to check carefully.

After circulating the Qi along the veins of the magic circle for a while, Li Ming opened his eyes and said, "So that's how it is!"

Then he just looked around and returned the same way like a swimming fish.

When Li Ming jumped out of the cave, the energy around him still emitted golden light.

"Hero Li is here!" Shang He shouted immediately when he saw that Li Ming was safe and sound.

Several people around looked over and saw Li Ming landing on the ground leisurely, without even a trace of smoke on his clothes. They couldn't help but feel shocked.

After all, Li Ming dived for quite some time. Although the fire in the cave was not strong, it was still underground fire, and the deeper he went, the stronger the fire would be.

Li Ming dived alone when he was alone, yet he was able to hold on for so long!
Xu Wan thought to himself, "Could it be that a congenital master is so powerful?"

But these people had too narrow a vision and had no idea what this meant, so they could only admire it.

Seeing Li Ming empty-handed, Old Master Xia couldn't help but ask, "What's going on down there?"

Li Ming pondered for a moment and then said, "There's a magic circle below, and the magic weapon is still being tempered within it, but I don't know how to use it, so I can't move it for the time being."

Old Grandpa Xia was sometimes happy and sometimes sad. He was happy that the family heirloom magic weapon was still in the fire, which showed that his ancestors had superb skills. He was sad that even Li Ming, a master of innate skills, could not take it out, and he was afraid that there was no hope of it seeing the light of day.

But he still didn't give up and said, "I didn't bring the replacement parts this time. You can try again later and use the power of the mechanism to remove it."

Li Ming shook his head and said, "It's not that easy. I've checked. The chains on the two magic weapons have long been melted. Even if we replace the mechanical parts, we can't remove them. This matter still needs to be considered in the long run."
