Chapter 5: The Maple Forest Fire Vein
Considering that this was the territory of the Unicorn Rock Snake, there should be no other demon beasts or beasts to disturb him again, Ye Xiu quickly entered the cultivation state.
But in less than half an hour, Ye Xiu was interrupted by Xiao Bai's scream, at this time Xiao Bai was meowing, and at the same time he was dragging Ye Xiu's trouser legs with his mouth from time to time, looking at its appearance, Ye Xiu quickly realized that this was what Xiao Bai found on the rock wall, so he hurriedly got up and went to the rock wall under the leadership of Xiao Bai.
The pitch-black rock wall is not very steep, tilting upwards and there is no end in sight in the dark night, Xiao Bai climbed up the rock wall with an easy jump, and climbed a few meters away in a few hurries, seeing that Ye Xiu was still stunned in place, and turned his head and meowed down to remind Ye Xiu to keep up.
Seeing Xiao Bai's serious appearance, Ye Xiu had no choice but to carefully climb the rock wall and follow Xiao Bai to climb up, although Ye Xiu was not good at rock climbing, but fortunately, the body reaction of Dao Tong Realm was very flexible, plus there were some side-growing maple trees protruding from the rock wall, so that Ye Xiu had a lot of places to borrow.
In this way, after climbing up to a position of fifty or sixty zhang, Xiao Bai who led the way in front suddenly disappeared under a huge maple tree, Ye Xiu hurriedly followed, and found that there was a cave more than one person high hidden under the maple tree that grew against the cliff wall, and Xiao Bai was waiting for Ye Xiu at the entrance of the cave with a smile on his face.
After entering the cave, observing that the surrounding cave walls did not have a trace of human development, Ye Xiu concluded that this was a natural cave, and from the few scales left at the entrance of the cave, Ye Xiu guessed that the unicorn snake that he had killed before regarded this place as his own cave.
Ye Xiu casually folded a thick maple branch to make a simple torch, and continued to explore the depths of the cave with Xiao Bai.
Unlike Ye Xiu's imagination, this cave was surprisingly long, winding downward, the wider it was, according to this trend, Ye Xiu was shocked to find that this cave actually led to the center of Qixia Mountain.
And Ye Xiu was surprised to find that the deeper he went, the higher the temperature around him would be, at first he was sheltered by the dust suit, Ye Xiu didn't feel anything, but gradually, about half an hour later, the surrounding temperature had exceeded the thermal insulation range of the dust suit, and Ye Xiu's forehead couldn't help but drip sweat.
At this time, the cave wall has already turned into a huge underground cave with the height of more than one person, and the torch in Ye Xiu's hand has already been extinguished at this time, but fortunately, the surrounding rock wall is full of a fluorescent plant, and the strange fluorescence illuminates the cave into a dark light, as if in a fantasy world.
It was the first time for Ye Xiu to see such a strange scenery, and he couldn't help but sigh, but the temperature around him was too high at this time, so Ye Xiu had no intention of looking at the surrounding scenery anymore.
To Ye Xiu's surprise, even at such a high temperature, Xiao Bai who led the way in front of him seemed to be fine, relaxed, and after careful observation, he found that at this time, Xiao Bai's white fluff was also guilty of a trace of fluorescence, and thinking of the surrounding plants, Ye Xiu suddenly figured out a truth as if he had been enlightened:
"It's the fire aura! The surrounding high temperature is the fire aura that diffuses in the air, whether it is the glowing plants on the cave wall or the little white who leads the way in front of them, the reason why they don't feel hot is that they are actually absorbing these fire aura. ”
After figuring this out, Ye Xiu also began to use the fire system Dao method he had comprehended before to sense the surrounding fire aura, and under this understanding, Ye Xiu found that the fire aura here was more than ten times higher than that of the outside world, and if he cultivated the fire system Dao method here, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiu no longer hesitated, sat down cross-legged and began to meditate, and at this time, Xiao Bai, who was walking in front, felt Ye Xiu stop, looked back at him, and was not in a hurry, he found a clean stone and sat down, staring at Ye Xiu with his eyes unblinking.
The special environment in the cave made people lose the concept of time, and Ye Xiu didn't know how long he had been cultivating, but when he woke up, he felt that his sea of consciousness was full of fire aura, and his perception of the fire system Dao method was also one step closer, as if he had gradually touched the film of the Daoist realm.
If you want to enter the Taoist realm from the Dao Child Realm, you need to continuously absorb the aura of heaven and earth and store it in the sea of consciousness at the center of your eyebrows, and finally the quantitative change will cause the qualitative change to form a Dao heart, and the Dao heart is the origin of the cultivator.
However, Ye Xiu didn't want to condense the Dao heart at this time, because he had heard Li Laodao mention that the process of condensing the Dao heart was equivalent to the process of a cultivator laying a solid foundation, and the Dao heart also had attributes, once the corresponding attribute Dao heart was formed, it would be difficult for the cultivator to feel the Dao method of other attributes, Ye Xiu naturally understood that the firmer the lower the foundation, the higher the possibility that the superstructure would be built, so he was not in a hurry, but wanted to condense the Dao heart after comprehending all the attributes of the five elements.
At this time, after Ye Xiu had a deeper understanding of the fire aura, he naturally didn't feel hot anymore, looked up and looked ahead, just in time to see Xiao Bai sitting on a stone waiting for him, his heart warmed, and he got up and nodded at Xiao Bai.
"I've kept you waiting, let's keep going!"
Xiao Bai meowed happily, and continued to jump in front to lead the way, this time because Ye Xiu was no longer affected by the temperature here, the speed of one person and one cat was obviously much faster.
As the temperature further increased, just when Ye Xiu thought that he would see magma in front of him, Xiao Bai stopped, and Ye Xiu realized that the road at this time had come to an end.
At this time, what caught my eye was a fiery red rock wall, there were rolling heat waves from time to time on the rock wall, it was obvious that this was the source of the fire element in the entire cave, the rock wall was shining with seven or eight points of red light, and if you looked closely, it was inlaid with several round stones, these stones were exactly the same as the spirit stone on Ye Xiu's body except for the different luster color!
Ye Xiu immediately concluded that this was the fire spirit stone he had seen in the previous book, although this kind of fire attribute spirit stone could only be used by cultivators who cultivated fire system dao techniques, but it was indeed more rare than ordinary spirit stones, and the value was naturally greater, the price of a low-grade fire spirit stone was equivalent to ten ordinary low-grade spirit stones.
Seeing that there were as many as seven such fire spirit stones on the rock wall, Ye Xiu couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Xiaobai, you are really my lucky general!"
After speaking, he grabbed Xiaobai on the side and put it on his shoulder and stroked it gently, making Xiaobai meow a few times.
Ye Xiu carefully removed the fire spirit stone on the rock wall, and after pasting a sealing spirit rune, he carefully put it away closely, this spirit seal is a special wooden rune, the only function is that it can be used to seal the aura, this effect looks chicken, but Ye Xiu is very clear about its value, imagine if you hit one of these talismans in the process of fighting against people, the aura of the body is completely sealed, and a body of Taoism can not be used, what a terrible consequence it is.
Ye Xiu's spiritual move happened to use it to seal the aura of the fire spirit stone on his body, so as to prevent his aura from being discovered by others, and Ye Xiu still understood the truth that the husband was innocent and guilty.
As for whether there are other fire spirit stones in the rock wall, Ye Xiu's guess is definitely there, because this should be the center of the entire Qixia Mountain, how can there only be these few spirit stones in the maple forest fire veins bred by such a large Qixia Mountain, but if you continue to excavate, not to mention whether Ye Xiu's current strength can do it, will there be danger, just doing so will definitely destroy the geological structure of the entire Qixia Mountain, so that the strange scenery you saw before will disappear, it is not what Ye Xiu wants to see.
Turning around open-mindedly, without a trace of the maple forest fire veins behind him, Ye Xiu and Xiao Bai left the cave faster than when they came.
When he climbed out of the cave again, it was already dark, and he returned to the place where the fire was lit under the cliff, the fire had already been extinguished, and Ye Xiu judged from the fallen leaves on the fire that he had stayed in the cave for a whole day and two nights. Thinking of this adventure, Ye Xiu was also embarrassed, and he felt a little more about the experience of cultivators in his heart.
I don't know if it's because I ate the meat of the demon beast, or because I have improved my cultivation in the cave, even if I haven't eaten for so long, Ye Xiu didn't feel hungry, but felt full of energy. looked at Xiaobai on his shoulder, but he didn't know when he had curled up in a ball and fell asleep.
After taking out the map and determining the direction, Ye Xiu didn't stay any longer and hurried towards the next destination, Qixia Town......
Four days later, in the afternoon, Ye Xiu finally succeeded in rushing to Qixia Town, along the way, Ye Xiu's speed was much faster than before, and he also encountered several demon beasts on the way, all of which were skillfully avoided by Ye Xiu, only a blue-eyed green wolf was very cunning, with his sensitive nose to chase Ye Xiu, Ye Xiu had no choice but to set a trap and kill it.
Although he wasted a few yellow-level low-grade talismans, he also harvested the eyes of the blue-eyed green wolf, which was also a valuable refining material.
As soon as he stepped into Qixia Town, Ye Xiu was instantly shocked by the liveliness and prosperity here, as the traffic artery of the surrounding mountains, although Qixia Town and Wutong Town are both named after the town, but there is a huge difference, the area alone is more than ten times larger than Wutong Town, not to mention the streets lined with shops here, and the pedestrians shuttling back and forth.
Ye Xiu's greatest concern is naturally the fang market here, he has heard the hunters who came here mentioned that Qixia Town has a fang market that specializes in selling all kinds of cultivators' items, Taoist weapons, spiritual materials, and even pills are all sold, Ye Xiu has long wanted to see it.
After a brief inquiry, Ye Xiu found the entrance of the market, and before the person arrived, he heard the boiling shouting:
"The steel sword of the refining workshop is like a fake!"
"The newly unearthed Seven Star Grass is full of vintage, don't miss it when you pass by!"
"Fu Gong Fu Gong, a must-have when you go out!"
"Freshly baked hemostatic pill, buy two get one free!"
......
At this time, it was already dark, and the market became more lively, and even Xiao Bai, who was originally lying on Ye Xiu's shoulder, pricked up his ears, and the curious Dongzhang looked up.
Walking in the lively market, Ye Xiu will not easily listen to the hawkers' sales, many items as long as the divine sense sweeps, you can easily judge the quality, Ye Xiu found that although there are many items sold in the market here, most of the things here are of poor quality and lack of aura, just like the steel sword in the refining workshop, the Dao pattern engraved on it is simple and not even a yellow-level low-grade Dao weapon!
And the so-called hemostatic pill is not an elixir at all, just a pill made of some hemostatic herbs!
However, Ye Xiu still sensed several cultivators of the Dao Child Realm among these vendors, these people are of different shapes, and they should also be cultivators who came here to practice like Ye Xiu, and there are a few things in front of these people's stalls, including materials for demon beasts, cherished elixirs, and even some talismans that Ye Xiu is extremely familiar with.
There were a few things that caught Ye Xiu's attention, and he wanted to buy them and study them, but the price was above two spirit stones, which made Ye Xiu, who was shy in his pocket, feel distressed.
"It seems that even in the cultivation world, it is difficult to move an inch without money! ”
