"This thing should have some origin, but unfortunately it is broken, let's talk about it later. Shi Mu muttered to himself with some pity, carefully folded the green cloak and put it away in the dust, and looked at the corpse again.

This time, his face changed slightly.

There was a cloak just now, he didn't pay attention, but when he looked closely, he saw that the corpse was holding a transparent spar the size of a baby's fist and a dark red body.

Shi Mu made a move with one hand, and the spar flew into his hand.

The hedron is in the shape of a cone, with some strange patterns engraved on it, and several trembling red threads can be seen in the center of the spar, like a few red lightning bolts, which does not look like an ordinary thing.

However, this hedron did not emit any aura or mana fluctuations, just like an ordinary red crystal.

Shi Mu flipped the spar, and after looking at it carefully for a long time, his eyes were slightly condensed.

On the top surface of the cone, an ancient character "three" is inscribed, as if it is numbered.

He frowned slightly, checked it several times, and tried to inject mana true qi, but he didn't find anything else special about this cone crystal.

However, it should be an important thing to hold this object tightly in your hand until you die.

Shi Mu shook his head, didn't think much about it, and simply put away the conical crystal, planning to slowly figure it out when he had time.

Aside from the cloak and crystals, there was nothing else of note on the corpse.

He looked at the corpse and sighed lightly, intending to bury it in the ground, as compensation for taking the two things from it.

With a wave of Shi Mu's sleeve, a red light flew out, enveloping the corpse, and he wanted to hold it up.

However, the corpse only shook slightly, and was not lifted.

Shi Mu showed a hint of surprise on his face, this corpse didn't look very special in appearance, but now it seemed that it weighed almost four or five hundred catties.

He added some more force to lift the body back up.

Shi Mu frowned, re-examined the corpse again, and after a moment, his face became solemn.

His attention had been drawn to the green cloak and dark red hedrons, but he hadn't noticed anything unusual about the corpse!

This corpse, each bone seems to be bone white, but the bone is very delicate when you look closely, with a faint metallic luster.

His fingers tapped lightly on the bones, making a "thump" sound, as if they were striking a steel plate.

Shi Mu's eyes flickered, and with a flick of his fingers, a red light flew out from between his fingers, turning into a blade of light and hitting a thigh bone.

With a muffled "clang", the red blade of light shattered, but the surface of the thigh bone was not damaged at all, and not even a mark was left.

Shi Mu's face changed slightly, although he just hit it casually, but the ordinary iron rod could also cut it, and it couldn't leave a mark on this bone.

He groaned slightly, and immediately moved to put the entire skeleton into the storage ring.

This corpse is so strange that something might be found out of it.

In the following time, Shi Mu walked around in this underground cave, and his eyes gradually lit up.

It is deep underground, and the space is just the right size, making it a suitable place to build a fire chamber.

In the following time, he cleaned up the corpses of the vine demons in the underground cavern a little, and then returned to the surface.

"Stone, why did it take so long to come up, I thought something happened to you down there, and I almost went down to look for you!" As soon as he came out of the house, Cai'er immediately flapped her wings and flew over.

"Oh, aren't you afraid that there are ghosts down there?" Shi Mu said with the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"Well...... I thought about it, no matter how powerful this ghost is, I can't beat it, can't I run...... After all, I have wings to fly, by the way, can ghosts fly?" Cai'er heard the ghost, her expression was slightly flustered, and she was a little incoherent.

Shi Mu smiled, and immediately didn't tease the parrot anymore, and briefly talked about the things he encountered below.

"It turned out that there was a flower demon hiding below, and I thought there was really a ghost, which really scared me to death. Cai'er breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest with one of her wings.

"This place is remote, and generally some people with strength and identity will not come here, but this flower demon has harmed a lot of people, and its strength has improved quite quickly. If no one cares, it is estimated that in another thirty or fifty years, this fang may be able to advance to the prefectural level. Shi Mu said.

"Quack, whoever let it mess with it is not good, it provokes the stone, now it's over!" Cai'er said.

"The environment here is okay, and there are underground caves as fire chambers, so I don't have to worry about being noticed. Shi Mu said.

Cai'er nodded repeatedly.

"Now that the place has been chosen, it's time to purchase fire stones and exchange them for fire spirit stones. Shi Mu said, his eyes crossed the courtyard and looked into the distance.

......

In the next half a month, Shi Mu ran around in Rikang City, buying Huogang stones everywhere, and exchanging other attribute spirit stones on his body for fire attribute spirit stones.

The fire attribute spirit stone is okay, after all, it belongs to one of the five elements spirit stone, it costs a little bit of handling fees, but it is also exchanged for a lot, and the fire stone is not a particularly rare thing, but after all, the amount required is not small, and now the city is relatively closed, it takes a lot of effort to acquire.

In the end, after dealing with Tianwu Baoxuan, he spent thirty percent more spirit stones than the market price, and only then did he get the required number of Huogang stones.

As a result, there were not many tens of thousands of spirit stones left on his body.

......

Outside the city, some demon beasts are still wandering under Ao Kui's instructions, causing people in Rikang City to panic all day long.

Shi Mu naturally didn't bother to pay attention to these, he was now stepping up the arrangement of the Yinghuo Array.

The deepest part of the underground cavern is densely packed with dark red stones on the ground and walls, all of which are fire stones.

These fire stones decorate the entire cave red, vaguely forming a huge cage, enveloping this side of the cave below.

On the surface of these fire stones, there are also circles of red lines carved with them, forming a mysterious pattern.

In the center of the cave, there is a circular magic circle, and in all corners of the magic circle, there are hundreds of fire attribute spirit stones.

Shi Mu sat cross-legged in the center of the formation and placed a medium-grade fire attribute spirit stone on the ground.

Buzzing......

A dazzling red light appeared from the inside and outside of the circle, and it quickly swam along all the lines in the cave before dissipating.

Shi Mu's face showed a hint of joy, and the Yinghuo Array was finally successfully arranged.

"This formation is not difficult, even you, an unpopular formation mage, can complete it by yourself, but this formation is a little rough in design, and it costs so many spirit stones, these spirit stones are enough for me to eat for a long time. Cai'er stood on a large rock next to her and spoke.

"Cai'er, why don't you design a magic circle that saves spirit stones, and the saved spirit stones belong to you, how about it?" Shi Mu said.

"Haha, I'm just talking, don't take the stone seriously!" Cai'er said a little stupidly.

Shi Mu glared at Cai'er angrily, took a deep breath, waved his hand to play a spell, and landed on the ground.

There was a "buzz" sound, and the Yinghuo Circle immediately began to operate.

The fire attribute spirit stones on the ground bloomed with red light, causing the entire underground space to be shrouded in a layer of red light.

The underground space seemed to be instantly transferred to a scorching volcano, and the air was filled with a rich fire-attribute aura.

Compared to the previous natural Fire Spirit Mountain Range, there are still some differences, but they are not too big.

However, the aura in the fire attribute spirit stones on the ground was also slowly weakening, and according to this trend, these spirit stones in the magic circle could only last for four or five days.

Shi Mu smiled bitterly, glanced at the ring on his hand, at this rate, these fire attribute spirit stones prepared by himself are only enough to replace them four or five times, and then he needs to find a way to earn some spirit stones.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes and turned the Red Ape Fire Sutra around.

Bathed in the rich fire attribute vitality, wisps of scorching air continued to pour into his body and seep into the meridians.

Shi Mu took out an ordinary Huoyuan Peach Fruit and swallowed it, and the red light around him converged, and a layer of red clouds gradually covered his body.

Time passed little by little, and more than ten days later.

In the center of the cave array, Shi Mu suddenly opened his eyes, and at this time, the true qi in his body had reached its peak.

He flipped over his hand and took out the Fire Yuan Peach King, pondered for a moment, and swallowed it into his stomach in a few bites.

The peach king was in his stomach, and Shi Mu suddenly felt that the heat wave in the dantian was rolling, and his entire body was quickly covered with a layer of red and purple light.

Streams of true qi began to surge in the meridians with great rapidity, and they became more and more violent, surging in waves like angry waves.

He felt as if the meridians in his body had been cut by a knife, and he felt a sharp pain.

Shi Mu took a deep breath, barely calmed the qi and blood in his body, and according to the method of the ninth layer of the Red Ape Fire Sutra, he urged the qi in his body.

In a moment's effort, Shi Mu felt that the true qi in the dantian was growing rapidly, and streams of abundant true qi poured out of the dantian like a torrent, rushing into the limbs and hundreds of remains.

As time passed, the red light in the Yinghuo array also became indefinite.

Shi Mu sweated like rain, the skin on the surface of his body turned red and purple, and the meridian dantian of his whole body was filled with extremely rich true qi, and he had almost reached a zero realm, as if it would burst open at any time.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and the red and purple light on his body was magnificent, enveloping the whole person.

Half an hour later, Shi Mu's mouth let out a hearty long roar, echoing deep underground.

The surrounding circles seemed to be affected, and the light shone brightly.

Countless red rays of light poured into Shi Mu's body like a sea of Baichuan, and the coercion emanating from Shi Mu's body continued to increase.

Cai'er stood nearby, and a powerful coercion roared, shaking it away, and let out a strange scream.

A layer of black light appeared on the top of the underground cave, blocking the fluctuations of spiritual power emitted by Shi Mu.

......

This process lasted for three days and three nights, and then the red light in the magic circle slowly dimmed, revealing the figure of Shi Mu inside.

At this moment, Shi Mu was drenched as if he had just been scooped up from the water, but his face was full of excitement.

At this point, the Red Ape Fire Sutra has finally broken through the eighth layer and entered the ninth layer realm.

In Shi Mu's body at this moment, the true qi was abundant and dense, almost condensed into liquid, and it was almost twice as powerful as before.

This means that he has officially entered the late innate realm. (To be continued.) )
