Mortal: Reborn in Yellow Maple Valley, Awakening the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts

The spiritual rain that had just fallen into the pool completely merged into the bottom of the pool, causing the entire lava pool to tremble violently and emit a thunderous roar!

The scalding lava sank rapidly like a tide, seeping down quickly along the bottom of the pool.

In the blink of an eye, the churning lava pool dried up completely, leaving it empty!

After a few more breaths, the clear spring water gushed forth from the dried-up bottom of the pool, instantly filling the entire pool again.

Chu Zifei sensed the change in the pool. He felt the spiritual energy in the pool was swirling, and the pure spiritual power and the warm aura of the earth fire intertwined and blended together, rushing towards him and permeating his entire body.

Ignoring his chest injury, he struggled to his feet, walked slowly to the edge of the pool, bent down, scooped up a handful of water, and examined it closely.

The water in the palm pool was warm to the touch. Although the spiritual energy it contained was not as concentrated as that of the Spirit Eye Spring, it was far more refined than that of ordinary spirit stones. What was even more remarkable was that it was nurtured by the fire underground, and the speed at which it absorbed spiritual energy and the efficiency of its tempering in the pool were far beyond what ordinary cultivation could achieve.

Overjoyed at the bountiful harvest, Chu Zifei immediately tore off his tattered clothes and tucked himself into the pool.

hot......

It's so hot!

The scalding water instantly engulfed my entire body, and my skin turned red in an instant.

But in an instant, the spiritual energy and the earth's heat intertwined and merged, seeping wildly into the body through every pore.

A moment later, the pain from the external injuries caused by the battle completely disappeared, and even the depleted spiritual energy was rapidly restored.

Chu Zifei took out a Nourishing Essence Pill and swallowed it.

Thanks to the special environment of the Earth Fire Spirit Pool, the medicinal power of the pills was neutralized much faster, flowing through the body with the continuous spiritual energy.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the charred, hardened crust formed on his chest peeled away layer by layer, revealing tender flesh beneath that rapidly regenerating and healing. The wound, which would normally require half a day to recover, was completely healed in moments thanks to the dual effects of the spiritual pool's medicinal power.

Feeling the spiritual energy filling his limbs, his physical injuries were completely healed. Chu Zifei rose from the pool, frowned slightly as he looked at his tattered clothes, and took out a brand new robe to change into. He secretly resolved that he would find a high-quality robe in the future to avoid being dressed in tattered clothes and looking disheveled every time he fought.

This abandoned cave dwelling is exceptionally blessed, nurturing a pool of earth fire spirit water, making it an ideal place for cultivation. He was extremely satisfied with his choice. However, the cave dwelling had been abandoned for a long time and was in dire need of renovation.

The original stone chamber, due to its location near the spiritual pool, had become a natural cultivation chamber and was no longer suitable as a residence. Therefore, Chu Zifei planned to carve out a separate bedroom for his own use.

He raised his hand and formed a hand seal, unleashing a burst of vine magic that shattered the right-side stone wall outside the stone chamber. He then gripped the Mo Yuan Heavy Blade, using the sharpness of this top-tier magical artifact to cleave through the rocks and clear away the wasteland.

After half a day of tireless work, a spacious and well-organized new bedroom is beginning to take shape.

After a short rest, he swung his sword again and carved out a flat stone bed in the bedroom, thus completing his residence.

The old and new layouts complemented each other, providing him with a stable place to live. He then used water bullet and water curtain spells to wash away the black stains left on the stone chamber walls by smoke and fire.

For the rest of the days, Chu Zifei devoted himself to arranging the furnishings of his cave dwelling.

He went out to find wood of uniform thickness and carved it into various living utensils. He also sought out moonstones to inlay on the four walls, so that the clear light shone down and made the entire cave bright and transparent.

After a lot of work, it took several days to complete.

After everything was settled, Chu Zifei took out the Thunder Radiance Extreme Array Jade Slip and began to set up offensive and defensive restrictions for the cave.

Following the instructions recorded in the jade slip, he placed array plates and array flags on the east side outside the cave, and then used several mid-grade spirit stones to set up the basic array base, providing a continuous source of power for the great array.

The entire formation is ready, except for one crucial element: a lightning-attribute magical artifact. The higher the quality of the artifact, the stronger the formation's defensive and offensive power.

After a moment's thought, Chu Zifei had made up his mind. He reached into his storage bag and took out the Wind and Thunder Blade.

Although this superior magic artifact was slightly damaged due to a chipped hole from testing the physical body, it still retains 70% of its power, which is more than enough to guard the array's core and activate the restrictions.

Chu Zifei placed the Wind and Thunder Blade at the core of the array.

Boom!

A sudden clap of thunder, followed by a surge of lightning!

Several bolts of lightning flashed and formed array patterns, and a semi-transparent lightning barrier suddenly opened up, covering an area of ​​several miles around the cave.

The Lightning Radiance Array is fully activated!

Although there is no target to test the power of the formation, with this heavy restriction protecting the cave, the cave dwelling has a barrier, which is enough to allow for peaceful cultivation.

With his mind at peace, Chu Zifei once again stepped into the Earth Fire Spirit Pool to nourish his physical body.

In recent days, under the continuous nourishment of the earth fire, the water temperature of the spirit pool has been rising day by day. Ordinary cultivators who step into it will be scorched by the high temperature and will not be able to stay for long.

However, relying on his Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, he was like a fish in water even when he was in the scalding hot pool.

The high temperature combined with the endless supply of pure spiritual energy tempered his muscles, bones, skin, and flesh, making his physical foundation increasingly powerful in a subtle way.

The cultivation room was filled with steaming water vapor and swirling spiritual energy, resembling a celestial abode.

Chu Zifei calmed himself in the pool, contemplating his future spiritual practice plans.

A storm is brewing in the southern lands. He must improve his abilities before the turmoil fully erupts. Only with sufficient strength can he protect himself in the chaos and even seize opportunities and gain good fortune.

However, the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts have just broken through the bottleneck, and there is no suitable opportunity for further improvement. For the time being, the road ahead is somewhat uncertain.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck me!

I may not have any opportunities right now, but for others, opportunities are everywhere!

Old Demon Han possesses extraordinary luck; wherever he goes, there will be upheaval, and wherever chaos arises, there will be opportunity. Rather than blindly cultivating diligently and waiting for a chance, it is better to follow his lead, borrow his fortune, and reap benefits for yourself.

With this thought in mind, the goal suddenly became clear.

The most recent opportunity is the secret shop auction at the Tianxing Sect Market in Yuanwu Kingdom.

The yellow umbrella, the icy poison needles, and the corpse of the Black Fang Poison Spider that he had seized from Feng Yue were all useless to him, and he could go to the secret shop to exchange them for resources.

Without hesitation, Chu Zifei got up from the pool and returned to his bedroom to sit quietly and ponder.

He wanted to seize the opportunity to participate in the auction on the same day as Han Li, so as to take advantage of the situation.

But after much thought, he still couldn't come up with a perfect solution.

Han Li is extremely cautious and meticulous by nature. Deliberately trying to curry favor with him or taking the initiative to accompany him will easily make him wary. Rashly inquiring about or following him is a big taboo, and the slightest carelessness could lead to more harm than good.

After much deliberation, the only safest approach was to travel to the Tianxing Sect market ahead of time and wait for Han Li to arrive. Once Han Li arrived, Han Li could then smoothly enter the fray without leaving a trace.

With the plan settled, Chu Zifei no longer worried. He lay down on the stone bed, closed his eyes, regulated his breathing, and waited quietly for the time to set off.
