Gou Zai Wudao Shicheng Dao

The lair of the Xuanhuo Wolves exuded a rich fire elemental power.

Fang Xia held her breath and slipped in sideways.

The cave entrance was scorching hot, and a wave of heat rushed towards us.

The air was so hot it felt like it could ignite his hair, and every breath he took was accompanied by a searing pain.

Crimson crystals clung to the cave walls, emitting a faint red glow that barely illuminated the path ahead.

Fang Xia dared not delay, using his Qi Sensing Technique to lock onto the source of the fire elemental energy and head straight for the depths of the cave.

The passageway inside the cave winds downwards, where the temperature is even higher.

The deeper you go, the stronger the strange medicinal fragrance becomes.

Finally, he reached the deepest part of the cave.

Fang Xia looked around.

In the center of the nest was a pool of scalding lava, about ten feet in size, bubbling with hot gas.

In the center of the lava pool, there grew a strange and precious plant.

The plant was shaped like a lotus flower, entirely crimson, with several lotus leaves unfurled, surrounding a crimson flower bud about to bloom.

The flower bud was surrounded by a crimson aura, radiating a powerful and pure fire elemental energy.

Just by taking a breath, Fang Xia felt his blood and qi begin to boil!

"Mystic Fire Lotus!"

Fang Xia was overjoyed the moment she saw Bao Zhi.

The records in "Illustrated Compendium of Herbal Plants" came to mind.

"The Mysterious Fire Lotus grows where the most yang earth veins meet, nourished by the essence of earth fire."

It takes ten years to grow leaves and thirty years to bloom. Its flower buds contain pure fire element essence, making it an unparalleled treasure for breaking through martial arts barriers!

Especially for martial artists below the Qi Gathering and Meridian Opening Realm, it has the miraculous effect of cleansing the marrow and transforming the body, and can even make up for some of the deficiencies in innate talent!

Its value is immeasurable, enough to make even experts in the Qi Gathering and Meridian Opening Realm envious!

If one could obtain the lotus seeds, their value would be immeasurable! A single mature Mystic Fire Lotus is worth over ten thousand taels of silver!

The flower buds in front of me are full and shimmering with crimson light, clearly nearing maturity!

Fang Xia suppressed his excitement; this was like a pillow delivered to someone who was sleepy!

He was worried about how to break through to the Copper Skin Realm!

With this, your chances of success will greatly increase!

Fang Xia quickly stepped forward and carefully dug up the entire Xuanhuo Lotus, along with the soil covering its roots.

He took out the cold jade box he had prepared beforehand and quickly sealed the entire Xuanhuo Lotus inside.

The dense fire elemental energy was instantly isolated by the cold jade, and the suffocating high temperature inside the cave seemed to decrease slightly.

After collecting the precious lotus, Fang Xia scanned the surroundings of the nest.

As Fang Xia's gaze swept over a sunken stone pit, her pupils contracted slightly, and a hint of joy flashed across her face.

Within the depression, a small pool of milky-white liquid accumulated, radiating a pure and flawless spiritual light, its swirling energy almost condensing into mist.

Although this liquid is not as fiery as the Xuanhuo Lotus, it gives people a feeling of nourishing all things.

"Earth Vein Spirit Milk!"

Fang Xia was shocked again.

This is also a rare treasure!

It is formed from the essence of the earth in a special geological environment, containing the gentlest and purest primordial energy.

Its greatest benefit is nourishing the body, warming the meridians, and repairing hidden injuries.

It can slowly and continuously improve physical condition, and it is an unparalleled treasure for those with poor constitution!

Long-term use can even subtly enhance the potential of one's physical constitution!

Compared to the domineering nature of the Xuanhuo Lotus, the Earth Vein Spirit Milk is gentle and subtle.

But its value is in no way inferior to that of the Mystic Fire Lotus!

"Heaven is on my side!" Fang Xia's eyes gleamed.

These two treasures are practically tailor-made for him!

The Mystic Fire Lotus can help him break through to a higher realm, while the Earth Vein Spirit Milk can make up for his innate talent!

This is a chance to change your destiny!

"If you don't take what Heaven offers, you'll suffer the consequences!"

Fang Xia no longer hesitated for a moment.

He took out a jade bottle from his bosom.

Point the mouth of the jade bottle at the vein of spiritual milk in the depression and collect every last drop.

The jade bottle felt slightly heavy in my hand, and the milky white spiritual liquid inside exuded a warm and vibrant energy.

"Earth Vein Spirit Milk, what a wonderful thing!"

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Fang Xia's eyes, and she felt a slight sense of emotion.

Then it was stuffed into a hidden pocket close to the body and secured with layers of cloth strips.

The Mystic Fire Lotus in the Cold Jade Box was placed into the outermost layer of the bag.

After doing all this, Fang Xia's heart was still pounding, unable to suppress the ecstasy in her heart.

The thought flashed through my mind like lightning.

"Mysterious Fire Lotus..." Fang Xia's mind raced as he quickly weighed the options: "It's a powerful medicine for breaking through realms! It can help me break through to the Bronze Skin Realm, and it's also very useful for breaking through the physical barrier. Furthermore, it can slightly improve my innate constitution..."

But there's only one of it! No matter how potent the medicine, it's gone once used!

"And this earth vein essence milk..."

"Gentle and lingering, nourishing things silently!"

"It can repair hidden dangers in the body and slowly enhance my potential!"

This is the true object that can change one's destiny! Its long-term value far surpasses that of the Mystic Fire Lotus!

With these two treasures in hand, the biggest obstacle to breaking through to the Bronze Skin Realm has been removed!

As thoughts raced through his mind, Fang Xia's eyes became incredibly deep.

"This item must not be leaked in the slightest!"

"Although the Xuanhuo Lotus is precious, it is mainly used for martial artists to break through their cultivation levels. All major forces have some similar reserves to varying degrees."

My innate talent is exceptional, so using that as an excuse is barely acceptable. But this earth vein spiritual milk…

This item is not a disposable consumable; it can even restore innate true essence. For innate masters, it is a trump card to turn the tide in life-or-death battles!

For those in the Qi Gathering and Meridian Opening Realm, it is an unparalleled sacred item for repairing hidden injuries to the meridians! If even a fraction of this information were to leak, it would be a death sentence!

The massacre of the entire Liu family serves as a stark warning.

Thinking of this, a chill ran down Fang Xia's spine.

A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime!

This treasure, powerful enough to bring down even a master of innate abilities, must be completely hidden.

"We cannot linger here!"

A thought flashes through the mind, and the outside world changes in an instant.

Fang Xia glanced at the lava pool in the center of the cave and made a decision.

With the Xuanhuo Lotus being picked, the rich and pure fire elemental power in this place is thinning at a rate that can be seen with the naked eye.

Even the crimson crystals on the cave walls seemed to have dimmed a bit.

"In the valley, whether it's the Xuanhuo Wolf demons or the three Hongyun Hall internal Refinement Heaven Ladder Realm martial artists..."

Either side could easily crush me!

A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime!

The Xuanhuo Lotus and the earth vein spiritual milk on his body are death warrants!

Without the slightest hesitation, Fang Xia moved like a ghost, silently stealthily making her way out.

The Qi Sensing Technique, like invisible tentacles, revealed the intense battle within the valley.

The three members of Hongyuntang, Ye Qianli, Wang Kui, and Zhao Yu, were back to back forming the Three Talents Formation, desperately trying to resist the frenzied attacks of the Xuanhuo Wolf demon.

Both sides had already drawn blood, and the scene was brutal and deadlocked.

Ye Qianli had a deep claw mark on his body, the bone visible, and blood had soaked half of his robe.

Wang Kui's breastplate was torn apart, and Zhao Yu's movements were noticeably sluggish, relying entirely on sheer grit to keep going.

The four Xuanhuo wolf demons have had their ferocity fully unleashed.

Their bodies were also torn in many places by swords and knives, and blood dripped onto the ground.

But this pain only fueled their ferocity.

"clang!"

A piercing sound exploded, and sparks flew everywhere!

Ye Qianli was struck as if by a heavy hammer, staggering backward and spitting out a mouthful of blood mist.

Another black fire wolf seized the opportunity to pounce from the flank, heading straight for Zhao Yu, who had made a mistake.

Zhao Yu was terrified and desperately tried to block with his sword.

"Pfft!"

Although Zhao Yu managed to avoid vital organs with all his might, the wolf's claws still tore open a huge gash.

Blood spurted out instantly, staining a large area of ​​the ground red.

Zhao Yu let out a painful groan, his body almost collapsing.

Wang Kui roared and brandished his sword to rescue Zhao Yu, forcing back the Xuanhuo Wolf demon and saving Zhao Yu's life.
