There is a small natural cave in the canyon. After Yang Cheng found this place, he thought it was a good place and planned to meditate and rest here before continuing to look for it later.
However, during the training process, Yang Cheng suddenly felt keenly that this small cave seemed to be filled with an indescribable aura of fire.
Moreover, the concentration of spiritual energy in this cave seems to be a little higher than outside.
So Yang Cheng didn't even bother to rest. He took out the Qingming Sword and started hacking at the cave wall. He immediately discovered that the cave stone was obviously much harder.
Then I discovered that the stone wall of the cave was actually a single circular shape, extending all the way to the innermost part, and finally formed a stone ring that penetrated downward into the ground.
Seeing that this cave was so abnormal, completely different from what Yang Cheng had encountered before, he began to dig underground along the completely blocked hole.
After digging down five or six feet, the smell of fire in the passage became more and more obvious.
And the temperature is gradually rising, as if there is a huge furnace underground.
Seeing this scene, Yang Cheng frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he exited the underground passage and returned to the ground.
Because Yang Cheng didn't know what situation he would encounter next, although this place was sparsely populated, Yang Cheng had to make some preparations in order not to be disturbed.
With a gentle pat on the storage bag, Yang Cheng took out the blue-white array plate, placed it at the entrance of the cave, and added the spiritual stone.
Then he quickly played the spell with both hands, opened the array, and set up a simple restriction that could cover up the fluctuations of spiritual energy.
Seeing the transparent spiritual barrier rising, completely covering the cave, Yang Cheng felt relieved and returned to the underground passage again.
"Pfft..."
Under the full force of the Qingming Sword, the hard stone was shattered layer by layer.
Yang Cheng spent a whole night digging thirty or fifty feet into the ground, and finally the stone ring expanded into a stone wall.
Standing in front of the stone wall, Yang Cheng wiped the sweat from his face, put his hand on it, and immediately let go.
Not only is the temperature of the stone wall extremely high, it is also obviously much harder and thicker than the stone dug previously.
"It can't really be a stove inside!" Seeing this scene, Yang Cheng was also a little unsure.
There was a stove hidden under the ground? Yang Cheng found it incredible when he thought about it. But he was even more surprised.
No matter what is inside the stone wall, it is unlikely that Yang Cheng will return empty-handed. It will be worthy of Yang Cheng's hard work for more than a year.
Before preparing to break through the stone wall, Yang Cheng returned to the ground again and meditated to recover his mana.
After it was over, Yang Cheng came to the stone wall. Under the operation of his magic power, a faint spiritual shield appeared all over his body.
Then he grabbed the Qingming Sword and slashed it hard on the stone wall.
After slashing with seven or eight swords like this, a small opening was finally made in the stone wall. At first glance, it was actually red inside.
"puff......"
Yang Cheng was about to take a closer look, when a stream of extremely high-temperature flames suddenly spurted out from the opened hole.
Yang Cheng was shocked, tiptoed, and ran backwards quickly.
But the speed of the flame jet seemed to be stronger and faster, as if it had been accumulated for countless years.
After returning to the ground completely, Yang Cheng discovered that the spiritual shield on his body had long been damaged, and his face felt hot.
I couldn't even open my eyes for a while, and it hurt like pins and needles.
Surprised, Yang Cheng quickly took out a pill and threw it into his mouth, then sat down to do his exercises and adjust his breathing.
This wait lasted two days and two nights.
During this period, Yang Cheng couldn't stand the smell in the cave, so he had to open the array plate several times to dissipate the smell inside.
However, Yang Cheng also confirmed from this that there was no one else here except him. Otherwise, if such a strong smell had spread out, someone would have come to check.
Wait until the flames ejected from the cave have weakened until they disappear completely.
When Yang Cheng felt that the temperature in the cave had dropped to a level he could bear, he finally got up and entered the underground passage again.
When the hole in the stone wall was expanded, Yang Cheng was shocked and excited by the scenery inside.
It turned out that there was a cave in the shape of an oval extending inward in the stone wall.
The cave wall is like the intestines of a beast, as if it has been compressed by something, forming layers of extremely uniform folds.
Each fold is made up of pieces of stone, just like the bricks used to build houses in the secular world. Only the bricks here are several times larger.
The entire cave was ablaze with red light, glowing like a flame.
The hot breath hit his face, and the entire hole was illuminated by a red light. After looking at Yang Chengcheng for a few times, his eyes stung, and he couldn't stop crying.
Because of the classics I had read and the information I had obtained, this was not the case.
Yang Cheng is not sure if there is an environment where Fire Phoenix Litmus appears.
Or maybe it's some other natural treasure.
Yang Cheng carefully took out a talisman, recited the incantation silently and then patted it gently on his body.
The talisman disappeared instantly and turned into a thicker spiritual barrier.
It wrapped Yang Cheng from head to toe, completely blocking the hot breath, and even his eyes could observe normally.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Yang Cheng walked into the cave.
The cave is not big, so Yang Cheng quickly discovered it after searching deliberately.
At the top of a short stone pillar inside is a piece of jade the size of a child's palm, with red edges and some transparency in the middle.
Inside the jade, there is a faint golden-red liquid flowing slowly, like a phoenix in a painting, dragging its long tail feathers and circling and dancing.
Surprisingly, it was exactly what Yang Cheng was looking for, one of the materials for refining the sword body, the Fire Phoenix Litmus.
"not good!"
Yang Cheng was so mesmerized by the treasures of nature and earth that he forgot the time.
Then I suddenly realized that my body was already covered in sweat.
The aura shield formed by the talisman now only has a thin layer left, and it is still dissolving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It is estimated that it will not be long before Yang Cheng faces the terrifying high temperature in the cave with his real body.
Without thinking, Yang Cheng quickly took out another talisman and stuck it on his body.
Only then did I feel comfortable.
Yang Cheng then quickly took out the Qing Ming Sword and pried the jade from the short stone pillar.
He took out the prepared box from the storage bag, picked up the fire phoenix stone core with the Qingming Sword, and carefully put it into the box.
Affix a talisman on the outside of the box to prevent breath leakage, and then put it into the storage bag.
As soon as Yang Cheng exited the cave, he heard a soft "click" in his ears.
I saw that the spiritual energy shield formed by the second talisman completely collapsed after the spiritual energy was exhausted.
Yang Cheng only bought two such talismans in total, and they will be used up in one go today.
Looking at the belly of the cave with some regret, Yang Cheng didn't even have time to check the innermost part.
Although it cost a lot of money, Yang Cheng was very satisfied considering that he had obtained the last main material for refining the sword tire.
Reluctantly, he looked at the layers of stone bricks in the cave, which seemed to be crawling under the light.
After countless years of calcination, it is extremely pure. If you take it out, you should be able to sell it for a good price!
It's a pity that not only does Yang Cheng have nothing to hold the stone bricks, but he also runs out of talismans.
Sighing, Yang Cheng returned to the ground.
Then the excavated tunnel was completely blocked again.
Maybe many years later, a new Fire Phoenix Litmus will be formed here. This chapter has been completed!
