Volume 1 Lin Yuan Chapter 95: There is a Mountain Named Red Flame
Wang Chen didn't know that he had somehow surpassed Murong Xumu, who had been chasing him, in the Tianji Sect's intelligence system.
He was flying his sword in the sky with an expressionless face.
The numbness in his arms had subsided, but the discomfort in his blood circulation made him constantly ponder a question.
What would happen if that person assassinated me?
The breath-concealing technique in the cultivation world can only hide one's cultivation level and make the breath disappear, as if it does not exist.
But not existing and not existing at all are two different concepts.
Even if the Breath-Concealing Technique can be transformed into a form, it is absolutely impossible to perform it in broad daylight, in places with excellent visibility, so that people cannot see or feel it.
And that terrifying cloak did just that perfectly.
He had only seen similar ancient treasures before, on a tattered straw raincoat covering a corpse in an ancient tomb.
But from today's perspective, the two cannot be compared at all.
"Does the cultivation world really have such a magical weapon?"
Well, even if we exclude the factor of the other party hiding his body.
He struck with all his strength twice, using a sword against a thin and short dagger, but the end result was that he was sent flying far away as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer.
Even if we fight a fair battle with the other party, do we still need to think about what the outcome will be?
Of course he wanted to break the void, but the prerequisite was to stay alive, and a strong enough fist was the basis for his survival.
Sighing slightly, Wang Chen knew that with his current strength, if he faced a master of Vainglory's level, he could at most be considered to have the qualification to escape.
But if you run away too much, it will have a serious impact on your spiritual heart.
Maybe in the future people will give me a nickname like Wang Paopao, how heartbreaking that would be!
He felt that he would need to achieve Nirvana at least nine times and build up the perfect foundation of Taoism as mentioned by the book demon before he could gain a foothold in the world of cultivation.
Thinking about it this way, Wang Chen felt that he was overthinking.
The practice of Nirvana, a way of compressing true energy, becomes more difficult with each additional Nirvana.
I have only experienced nirvana once, so it is better to keep my feet on the ground.
After all, food should be eaten bite by bite.
“It looks like the continuous and towering mountain range in the distance. Does it look like a piece of roasted meat?” Wang Chen raised his eyes and inexplicably felt that the roasted meat looked familiar.
"Red Flame Mountain?" His mind moved and he flew over on his sword.
Before getting close to the Red Flame Mountain, a burning heat came towards me.
From afar, the air in the Chiyan Mountains was steaming, the vision was distorted, and the red soil stretched for thousands of miles, with a deep red color visible in the distance.
He carefully flew his sword closer, and finally flew down from a thousand feet away from the mountain.
Below the mountain is an endless desert.
The strong wind from the low-altitude sword-flying carried the fine sand and gravel high to both sides, turning it into floating smoke and dust.
Not long after, Red Flame Mountain appeared before their eyes.
Looking closely at this majestic mountain range, its highest point pierces the clouds. The entire mountain looks like a red-hot iron block, alternating between red and black. Magma is surging in the cracks in the rocks, making it difficult for ordinary plants to survive here.
However, there is no shortage of cultivators in such a huge mountain range, because this mountain is rich in an extremely hot substance called Fire Lotus.
This spiritual herb is born from the raging fire at the earth's core and contains extremely pure fire energy. It is an indispensable material for refining many kinds of elixirs.
When Wang Chen was reading the "Guangyuan Tongjianlu" that day, he found a record of Chiyan Mountain. It said that outside the Chiyan Mountain there was a suspected uncontrolled formation left over from ancient times, with violent sky fire floating in it. Once you go up the mountain, you cannot fly the sword at will, otherwise even a powerful cultivator above the foundation building stage may be turned into ashes in an instant.
Moreover, there are fire-attributed spiritual beasts roaming on the mountain. They are extremely ferocious. The higher you go up the mountain, the more ferocious the spiritual beasts become.
Some people have seen spirit beasts comparable to those of Foundation Establishment cultivators halfway up the mountain, or heard terrifying roars from very high up that could scare Foundation Establishment cultivators to death.
Some cultivators even speculated that there might be secrets here that ordinary people could not imagine, which was why the heat was so unbearable.
However, Wang Chen was not interested in any secrets. What he wanted was the Fire Lotus.
Absorb the fire energy in it to break through the second nirvana.
As he was looking up at the top of the mountain, Wang Chen's mind suddenly moved, and then his eyes fell on an uneven path.
They were two independent cultivators, one old and one young.
His hair and beard are all white, and at this age he is still stuck at the fifth level of Qi Condensation, with almost no hope of reaching the level of Flying Sky.
The younger one is only thirteen or fourteen years old, but his cultivation has reached the fourth level of Qi Condensation, and his talent for cultivation is considered top-notch among casual cultivators.
The two men hurried down the mountain path, and when they came to a slope, they didn't care about their clothes and image, and slid down diagonally, bringing with them gravel and stones, as if they had encountered something extremely terrible.
Wang Chen glanced at the two of them, then stopped paying attention to them and started walking up the mountain.
"Little brother, don't go up the mountain today."
Although the old man was in a hurry, he saw that Wang Chen was also dressed like a casual cultivator and his aura was similar to that of the young man next to him, so he suddenly advised.
After Nirvana, Wang Chen's breath-concealing technique when he transformed himself was superb, and he could simulate any breath below the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation, which was indistinguishable from the real thing.
"Someone was killed in the mountain." The young man said first, his face a little pale and still in shock.
Wang Chen's face looked a little strange. It was normal to kill a few people in the cultivation world, so why did they scare the two of them like this?
"That villain is too powerful, and his methods are too cruel. In my opinion, he is here to kill people and rob them, not to find treasure. It is not easy for us to cultivate well, so we should choose a day to go up the mountain."
Wang Chen nodded thoughtfully.
"By the way, did you pick the fire lotus?"
He suddenly spoke.
The old man's face froze. This kind of question seemed like it was trying to find out the two people's money and property, and usually carried a dangerous aura.
"I was lucky. I found one. Grandpa said it was fifty years old."
The young cultivator said happily.
The old man was unable to stop him, his face solemn, he put his hand on the shoulder of the young cultivator, protected him behind him, and was on full alert.
"Do I look like a bad guy?!" Wang Chen was devastated.
"Are you selling it?" He casually took out a handful of spirit stones, both mid-grade and low-grade ones, to show his sincerity.
The old man's eyes widened.
A fifty-year-old fire lotus is worth no more than two medium-grade spirit stones.
Moreover, if independent cultivators like them want to sell such spiritual objects, they will most likely be harassed and unable to get a good price.
It is more likely that someone will target you and kill you for your treasure.
If they could be sold directly, two medium-grade spirit stones would be enough to support two people's practice for three years.
But the person in front of him who casually took out a handful of spirit stones of considerable value, is he really a casual cultivator?
The old man hesitated for a moment, then took out a bright red lotus from a somewhat worn storage bag and handed it over.
This fire lotus has five petals, and each petal is as red as a ruby, warm and translucent.
Wang Chen took it and felt the rich fire energy and the vibrant wood energy in it. It was perfect for swallowing and he couldn't help feeling happy.
Then he was slightly stunned.
Because the old man only took one medium-grade spirit stone and several low-grade spirit stones.
"This fire lotus should be worth more than this, right?" Wang Chen asked in surprise.
He had been to the market before, and although he had never seen the Fire Lotus, based on the amount of spiritual power contained in the spiritual object and the number of spiritual patterns, he could roughly infer that the Fire Lotus would require at least two to three medium-grade spirit stones.
"Enough, enough." The old man waved his hands.
"We are all independent cultivators, so just treat it as making friends with the little brother."
Regardless of whether the old man was out of fear or some other reason, Wang Chen, who had seen many intrigues in the cultivation world, still felt a slight movement in his heart, and handed two mid-grade spirit stones to the young cultivator.
Seeing that the young cultivator took it subconsciously, he walked up the mountain.
The old man looked terrified, and seemed to be hesitant to speak, just watching.
"Grandpa, why does this brother want to go up the mountain? What if he encounters evil people?"
The young cultivator looked up and asked.
The old man first carefully put the spirit stone into the storage bag, then shook his head.
"This fellow is not acting according to common sense. I don't understand. But with these three spirit stones, you have a great chance of joining the Sun and Moon Sect."
"Really?" The young cultivator's eyes lit up. The old man looked around and saw that no other cultivators noticed what was happening here. Then he carefully pulled the young cultivator away.
