Starting as a spiritual plant master, may I eventually become the master of all lands.

It turns out that Nüba could sense the third-tier Earth Fire Spear by relying on the Crimson Calamity Qi within her body.

Because the Earthfire Spear, a spiritual plant, usually lives underground.

Once a large fire breaks out in the mountains, the ashes contain a great deal of nutrients, which is why the Earth Fire Spear emerges from the ground.

Once it had absorbed enough nutrients, it returned to the ground, and turned out to be a spiritual plant with both earth and fire attributes.

The Kongsang Mountains are full of fire-resistant trees, so how could wildfires occur frequently?

However, there are exceptions. There is a type of demonic bird that occasionally stirs up flames, burning down areas. This demonic bird feeds on the remains of demonic beasts that have been burned by the fire!

After this demonic bird causes a wildfire, the Earth Fire Spear will appear.

However, this demonic bird is extremely rare, and it does not specifically live by this; otherwise, there would be no place for it in the Kongsang Mountains.

The behavior of the demonic birds is actually beneficial to the Kongsang Mountains, as the wildfires can change the living space, soil, species, and so on of many spiritual plants.

Some spiritual plant seeds even remain dormant for years, waiting for a wildfire to arrive.

The premise is that this wildfire cannot be large-scale.

The third-tier Earthfire Spear and this demonic bird have a peculiar symbiotic relationship.

As for whether the Earthfire Spear will appear in other forms, there are very few records.

Now, it's astonishing that the female demon that Song Chuan rescued can find it using her unique physique.

Song Chuan followed Chi Ying Shu, watching her occasionally release a wisp of crimson calamity energy, sensing something.

She finally stopped in a place overgrown with weeds.

"Fellow Daoist Song, you're right here."

Then she flicked her finger, and a wisp of crimson spiritual energy shot into the ground.

A few breaths later, the soil churned, and a spiritual plant sprouted from the ground.

The spiritual plant resembles a spear, and it exudes an aura of earth fire, no wonder it is called "Earth Fire Spear".

Song Chuan was overjoyed and carefully began to pick the fruit.

Chi Ying Shu gazed at Song Chuan, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

Suddenly, she quietly opened her mouth and blew, and a tiny wisp of crimson breath escaped from her lips.

The crimson aura instantly became transparent, as if it had merged into the Earth Fire Spear, or perhaps gone to Song Chuan's body; it was unclear where it had ended up.

A slight smile played on her lips. Seeing Song Chuan turn around, her expression immediately returned to normal, and she said with a smile:

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Song!"

Song Chuan packed up the spiritual plants, his face beaming with excitement: "Hehe! This is all thanks to Fellow Daoist Chi."

"Fellow Daoist saved my life and gifted me the Dry Bone Nail; this is what I should do. I still feel it's not enough."

Chi Ying Shu waved her hand and asked again, "The adventure in Kongsang is almost over. I wonder what Fellow Daoist Song is looking for next? Would you like me to join you?"

Song Chuan shook his head: "The place I am going to is inconvenient to travel with others, so I hope you will not take offense."

"Fellow Daoist Song, the further you go in the adventures of Kongsang, the more treacherous people will appear. Murder and robbery are not uncommon. Although you have reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, you must still act with caution," Chi Ying Shu said softly.

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist. If you were to encounter those three again, you should be safe, right?" Song Chuan asked.

"Hmph! I just accidentally fell into Xierlu's trap. If we meet again, let them stay here forever." Chi Ying Shu said with a cold expression.

"That's good." Song Chuan smiled slightly.

He had actually hesitated for a moment about whether to let the woman accompany him to catch olm.

According to Master Kuzhuo, the cave where the dolphin is located was discovered by him and several fellow Daoists when he participated in a hunt for wonders in Kongsang more than two hundred years ago, and it is extremely well hidden.

To this day, some of those peers have not even reached the Foundation Establishment stage and have already perished.

It's hard to say whether those who have reached the Core Formation stage and are still alive today will send people to search for this item.

After all, cultivators who reached the Core Formation stage at the same time as him do not need the extra twenty years of lifespan provided by the cave salamander.

But what if something unexpected happens?

Chi Ying Shu is at the ninth level of Qi Refining, possessing formidable strength and numerous trump cards. Traveling with her would significantly reduce the risks.

But Song Chuan, who was used to being alone, still refused.

Moreover, this woman's elders are guests in Vine Flower Valley. If news of the cave salamander incident gets back and causes gossip, it could be detrimental to Master Kuzhuo's acquisition of the Foundation Establishment Pill! It's best not to cause any unnecessary trouble.

"In that case, I'll take my leave." Song Chuan cupped his hands in greeting and turned to leave.

Chi Ying Shu watched Song Chuan's retreating figure and muttered to herself:

"You're so tight-lipped. Do you think I'd steal anything from you?"

Hmph! I've planted a demonic seed in you; finding you will be easy.

"There's nothing interesting about this strange trip to Kongsang. Let's see what you're up to so mysteriously. I'll protect you for a while, and that'll be some compensation for you."

……

Inside a dark mountain cave, there are countless caves of varying sizes, resembling a maze.

There were three monks in one of the small caves.

They used several energy-locking talismans to isolate their aura, their faces showing sorrow.

"Senior Brother Zou, we haven't even caught the cave salamander yet, and Junior Brother Yuan is already dead," said one of the cultivators at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

"Junior Brother Ren, I know you're close to Junior Brother Yuan, but no one expected that the Yin Phosphorous Shadow Bat would be so powerful. Alas!"

The cultivator surnamed Zou sighed; he was at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"To be honest, Senior Brother Yuan is really something. He was told to keep the Absolute Breath Spirit Piece safe, but he accidentally let it be destroyed by the sonic power of the demon bat."

Another Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator said angrily. It seems that the deceased cultivator surnamed Yuan was at the Qi Refining Level 7.

"Junior Brother Yu, Junior Brother Yuan is dead. How can you complain about him in front of me? Do you still want to stay in the sect?"

"Senior Brother Ren, I..." The cultivator surnamed Yu was startled and stammered.

"Alright! Since things have come to this, let's not waste any more words. Junior Brother Yuan's Day Pillar is useless now. The three of us will use our Year Pillar, Month Pillar, and Hour Pillar respectively to form the Three Elements Locking Breath Array. Those demon bats may not be able to detect it."

After saying that, the three of them each summoned a pillar-shaped magical artifact, which rotated around them continuously, emitting a faint white light.

The three of them walked slowly into the depths of the cave.

……

In another part of the cave, an old man at the ninth level of Qi Refining, with a sly smile on his face, was making his way forward, turning left and right.

He showed no sign of life and was playing with a jade-green throwing knife in his hand.

It was the Tian surname cultivator from the Crossing Sea Tower who had competed with Song Chuan for the Fire-Blowing Floss.

……

Five rogue cultivators, dressed in different clothes and with varying levels of cultivation, walked cautiously through the cave.

"Brother Xue, are olm really that amazing?"

"Hehe! A senior rogue cultivator once came here. This item can increase lifespan; just catch one, and you'll be struck gold!"

"Then everyone should pay close attention. The Kongsang adventure is almost over, so we can't miss this opportunity."

……

Outside the cave.

Song Chuan looked at the inconspicuous cave entrance in front of him, then glanced down at the map before stepping inside.

Half an hour later, another person appeared at the cave entrance; it was Chi Ying Shu.

With a hint of mockery on her face, she followed Song Chuan inside without hesitation.
