Chapter 30 Flame Scale Fruit
Chapter 30 Flame Scale Fruit
Fire Cloud Valley.
The molten lava flowed slowly in the deep underground cavern, its dark red magma churning and occasionally splashing out sparks from the crimson-gold waves.
It's so captivating.
In this environment filled with intense fiery energy, two young men in blue robes sat cross-legged on a rock, cultivating without being affected in any way.
Since Zhang Lingtai was captured and brought back from Huoyun Town, he has spent his days either cultivating or practicing magic with the other party. Although the days are boring and tedious, he has slowly begun to adapt.
After a long while, Zhang Lingtai emerged from his meditation, wiped the sweat from his brow, and looked at Zhang Lingyu, who was still meditating with his eyes closed beside him. He was secretly shocked:
"Nineteenth Brother, you've managed to hold on for so long, that's amazing."
Although the fiery aura here is of great help to the cultivation of the "Purple Sun Secret Manual", the fiery aura is too intense. If a Qi cultivator cultivates here for a long time, a kind of fiery poison will be left in his body.
If it is not removed early, it will cause great harm to the body.
Therefore, when Zhang Linghao was around, he would usually not cultivate here for more than five hours, but his elder brother could always persist for six hours, and even the fire poison in his body did not accumulate too much.
A few days ago, I even spent almost seven hours here.
How could he not admire that?
Zhang Lingtai had been cultivating here for two hours today, and he couldn't hold on any longer, so he asked in a low voice, "Brother Lingyu, I'll go out first."
"Um."
The boy slowly opened his eyes, stretched his limbs, and smiled, "Let's go, let's go out together. I recently found something good in the valley, but it's guarded by a first-tier demon beast. I'll take you with me to train today."
"Okay."
Upon hearing that he could go out for some fresh air, Zhang Lingtai immediately perked up and asked with a smile:
"What good stuff has my brother found this time?"
Two months have passed since Zhang Lingyu arrived here. Every day, besides cultivating, he goes out to fight against demonic beasts without the slightest slackening.
But every time he came back, he would bring back some medicinal herbs, which benefited him greatly.
After all, there is a fiery vein beneath Fire Cloud Valley, so it's not surprising that many spiritual plants grow on the ground.
......
"Purple Sun Fire Rain!"
In a grove of trees in the valley, Zhang Lingtai was covered in sweat, his hands constantly changing hand seals, and he opened his mouth and spat out a large spray of purple fire towards the demon beast in front of him.
However, his skills were not up to par, and he missed his target with the purple fire, allowing the demonic beast to quickly get close.
Seeing that he was about to be disemboweled, and with no intention of helping him, he could only grit his teeth and take out a small shield to block in front of him.
"Bang!"
The moment the magical artifact was unleashed, the demonic beast's forelimbs were already upon it, its sharp claws slamming into the small shield, causing the newly formed spiritual light on the shield to dissipate instantly, sending its master flying backward.
"Ouch, that hurts so much!"
Zhang Lingtai was sent flying nearly five or six meters away. He couldn't help but cry out in pain, rubbed his buttocks, and was about to struggle to get up when he saw that the monster was already less than ten feet away from him.
He felt a chill run down his spine, and in his panic, he lost all strength in his hands and feet.
Just as he was about to be devoured by the monster, the beast suddenly roared to the sky, then collapsed to the ground, its front paws clutching its enormous head as it rolled around on the ground.
He looks like he's in a lot of pain.
Then a sharp sword light arrived in quick succession, instantly killing him.
Having narrowly escaped death, Zhang Lingtai patted his chest and, after calming down, complained to Zhang Lingyu, "Nineteenth Brother, could you be a little faster next time? Your little brother almost died this time."
"Isn't he still alive?"
Zhang Lingyu slowly drew his magic sword and smiled at the boy, "But you've improved this time, you were able to hold out for so long."
"real?"
"real."
After hearing the praise, Zhang Lingtai finally smiled a little. For the past two months, he had been taken along on every monster hunt, and unsurprisingly, he was the one who was rescued each time.
Fortunately, after going through life-or-death trials time and time again, I have finally made some progress.
"It seems the day when I can slay the monsters alone is not far off."
"Heh, it's still early."
The boy had wanted to show off his progress, but was doused with cold water by the other party. Fortunately, he was an optimist and quickly adjusted his mindset, eagerly saying, "Nineteenth Brother, let's go see that spirit fruit."
"it is good."
After carefully storing the demon beast materials into his storage bag, Zhang Lingyu turned to look at a spirit tree not far away.
The spirit tree was entirely crimson, its bark layered like scales, faintly shimmering among the trees.
Six fist-sized spiritual fruits grew on the branch, their surfaces covered with fine flame patterns.
Flame Scale Fruit.
Even among first-tier spiritual items, this is a rare and valuable treasure.
Upon seeing the spirit fruit, Zhang Lingtai's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He couldn't wait to leap forward and pluck two fruits.
He grinned, tossed one to Zhang Lingyu, and then took a big bite.
The fruit pulp melts in your mouth, the scalding juice bursts open, and the rich fire elemental energy instantly surges into your meridians, making your whole body feel warm, and you can't help but let out a comfortable groan.
"It's definitely good stuff!"
He spoke indistinctly, a trace of bright red juice still lingering at the corner of his mouth, looking quite satisfied.
"Slower."
Zhang Lingyu chuckled, then took a bite, slowly refining the pure spiritual energy contained in the fruit pulp into her Qi Sea.
"It tastes really good."
He was somewhat surprised. The spiritual power contained in the Fire Scale Fruit was almost equivalent to half a month of arduous cultivation on earth. If he could take more than twenty of them and supplement them with some pills, breaking through to the sixth level of Qi Refining would not be a big problem.
Zhang Lingyu had just finished eating the first one when Zhang Lingtai had already stuffed the second one into his mouth.
The boy had just finished eating the second one when his face instantly turned bright red. He burped repeatedly and said somewhat helplessly, "Brother Lingyu, I feel like I'm about to break through."
"what?"
"Then let's go back quickly."
Zhang Lingyu was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting this situation to occur. However, upon further reflection, she realized that her younger brother had been stuck at the third level of Qi Refining for nearly two years, and she had been forcing him to cultivate for the past two months.
With the added benefits of these two Flame Scale Fruits, it would be difficult not to break through.
So the two put the remaining spiritual fruits into their storage bags and hurriedly headed back.
After returning to the valley, Zhang Lingtai immediately went into his residence. Zhang Lingyu smiled and shook his head. After returning to his residence, he first cleansed the fire poison in his body.
He then summoned the Soul Refining Banner and refined the soul of the demon beast into it.
Over the past two months, he has killed no fewer than a dozen, and now the number of souls in the banner is increasing daily, so he can finally take them out and make use of them.
