Chapter 107 Exploring the Depths of the Fire Vein (Happy National Day)

Fire Cloud Valley.

As a good place for the Zhang family to practice the "Purple Sun Secret Manual", it has always been a place where the most talented members of the family would come to practice.

Zhang Yuanyao is one of them.

Four years ago, after being brought back to the mountain by Zhang Lingyu, she had been cultivating with the clan's elder. Because her talent was the best in the clan for hundreds of years, she was protected with extra care.

He is currently cultivating in the valley with Zhang Linghao.

His sixteenth uncle had reached the seventh level of Qi Refining. He was originally cultivating in Biyue Town, but Zhang Yuanhua needed to return to the clan, so he sent him here to teach him.

"Sixteenth Uncle, I heard Nineteenth Uncle is coming soon?"

The entire Zhang family had naturally received the news that Zhang Lingyu had achieved Foundation Establishment, and they were overjoyed that the family had gained another Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The happiest person was Zhang Xinghao, who boasted to everyone he met about how well he had taught his students.

The girl's impression of Zhang Lingyu was still from the Spirit Awakening Ceremony years ago. She still felt very close to this uncle who personally brought her up the mountain.

"Yes, I didn't expect Ling Yu to already be at the Foundation Establishment stage, while I'm still stuck at the seventh level of Qi Refining. Yuan Yao, do you think I should go out and gain some experience too?"

He was naturally very happy about his cousin's achievements and also had high hopes for them.

Back when the other party first arrived, they were only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, but now the difference is enormous.

"Yuan Yao doesn't know. Yuan Yao only knows that going out for training requires the clan leader's permission."

Zhang Yuanyao shook her head. Just as she was about to ask Zhang Linghao if he could take her with him when he went out, she noticed that her uncle was looking towards the valley entrance.

She turned her head and saw a young man walking towards them with a big smile on his face.

"It's Uncle Nineteen."

The girl recognized the person at a glance, since a cultivator's appearance wouldn't change much in a short period of time.

"You must be Yuan Yao. You truly are a genius in my family."

Looking at the girl he had brought up the mountain years ago, Zhang Lingyu felt somewhat dazed. She had grown up quite a bit and her cultivation was about to break through to the third level of Qi Refining.

After offering a quiet greeting, she turned to the man beside her and said, "It's been a few years, and your cultivation has improved quite a bit, brother."

"I can't compare to you."

Zhang Linghao laughed and said, "Your Foundation Establishment Ceremony is in a month. Why aren't you staying on Qingya Mountain? What are you doing here?"

Six months later, the Zhang family will be called up to resist the beast tide. At this critical juncture, Zhang Lingyu's breakthrough undoubtedly boosted the morale of the family.

In order to demonstrate their strength, they held a Foundation Building Ceremony and invited various forces from Yingchuan County to participate. It is said that Li Yanshan, the steward of Yuguang Pavilion in Tianyuan Market, will also be there.

The entire Zhang family was extremely busy with this.

"Just wandering around since I have nothing else to do."

Although Zhang Lingyu said that, his real purpose in coming here was to thoroughly explore the situation deep within the fire vein.

He had already gathered information through the intelligence system before coming here.

Deep within the fire vein grows a third-tier spiritual object, the Fiery Golden Lotus, whose pills are of great benefit to him in his current state.

Although there was only one third-tier demonic beast inside, he could easily handle it with his current abilities.

Since I'm free anyway, I might as well just pick it up.

"Brother, I'll go check inside the fire vein."

"Okay, if you find anything good, remember to share some with us."

Zhang Linghao had heard Zhang Lingtai say that Zhang Lingyu had plundered all kinds of spiritual items in Fire Cloud Valley back then.

Looking back now, I wonder why I was so focused on cultivation back then.

Deep within the cave, scorching fiery energy pounded against the rock walls.

Zhang Lingyu, who used to have to hide inside a magical artifact to barely move, was now strolling leisurely.

Along the way, many demonic beasts living in the magma quickly hid themselves after sensing a powerful aura approaching, not daring to show their faces. The young man had no time to pay attention to them, and simply gathered all the spiritual herbs along the way before continuing to fly deeper into the magma.

Before long, a boiling pool of fire came into view, in which a twelve-petaled golden lotus was unfolding in the flames.

It was the third-tier spiritual artifact, the Fiery Golden Lotus.

Zhang Lingyu did not rush forward, but instead sent out two puppets to test the waters first.

As he advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, the original three puppets were no longer of much use to him, so he kept them at home for his own use.

The Zhang family lacked a lineage of puppetry skills. After discussing with Zhang Xingyao and the others, they decided to select a few members of the clan to learn the art of puppet making.

Although the two Foundation Establishment puppets left behind by Tianji Sanren were not of high grade, the spiritual materials used were top-notch. Even a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator could not destroy them in a short time under their full-force attack.

"roar!"

Just as the puppet was about to approach the central fire pool, a third-tier demonic beast suddenly flew out from beneath the magma.

Blazing Centipede.

The monster looked at the intruder who had entered its territory and did not rush forward to attack. It felt an unprecedented sense of crisis from the intruder, and if it dared to go forward, it might perish on the spot in the next second.

So he kept pacing around the fire pit, seemingly trying to scare away the intruders with his roar.

The puppets didn't care about any of that. One quickly stepped forward to grab the slender body of the Blazing Centipede, while the other swiftly raised its fist and smashed it hard in the face.

Unfortunately, this was the opponent's home turf. Not to mention being familiar with the environment, their slippery body made it easy for them to dodge.

The scorching centipede, which had narrowly escaped, was already enraged. Its hundred legs frantically climbed up the rock wall, looking for a suitable opportunity to attack. After a while, its mouthparts suddenly split into four pieces, spewing out viscous "corrosive gold poison fire".

But the target wasn't the puppet, but Zhang Lingyu in the distance.

Those who can cultivate to this level all possess some degree of intelligence.

It also understood that as long as it dealt with the other party, the two puppets would not pose much of a threat to it, and if it successfully devoured the other party's body, it would gain endless benefits.

"He's not too stupid."

Zhang Lingyu chuckled and summoned a small golden sword, slashing fiercely at the demonic wolf.

Having just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, he didn't have any good magical artifacts. The Blazing Pearl on his body wasn't very effective against fire-attribute demonic beasts, since demonic beasts that grew in magma had a strong immunity to fire.

Not to mention the Letter Soul-Chasing Mirror.

The magical artifact in his hand now is the Golden Dragon Sword, one of the four foundation-building magical artifacts of the Zhang family.

Although it's only at the lower level of Foundation Establishment, it's more than enough to deal with monsters that have only recently advanced to the third tier.

The Blazing Centipede did not underestimate the golden light flying towards it. It was about to retreat quickly, but a sudden headache forced it to stop against the wall. By the time it realized what was happening, it was too late.

The sharp Golden Dragon Sword sliced ​​it in half at the waist.

The scorching centipede, having lost its lower body, let out a painful roar and tried to burrow back into the lava, but was forcibly held back by two arriving puppets.

It twisted its body frantically, trying to corrode the opponent's joints with its gold-corroding poisonous fire.

As a cloud of white smoke billowed, the puppet remained unaffected; in fact, its power increased.

The golden dragon sword in mid-air showed no mercy, piercing his head and killing him instantly.

Zhang Lingyu didn't even glance at it before putting it directly into her storage bag. After picking the Fire Fiend Golden Lotus, she led the two puppets around the area.

Only after confirming that no other spiritual creatures were present did they fly towards the exit.

P.S.: Happy National Day everyone!
