Chapter 152: Earthfire Cave
Early the next morning.
As soon as the sky was bright, Ye Tong was woken up by Qiu Mo, washed up briefly, and followed Qiu Mo towards the direction of the back mountain valley.
At the foot of the mountain, the cliff face.
Two middle-aged men and women sat cross-legged on both sides of the bronze door, and there were faint fluctuations of spiritual power on their bodies. They are a Taoist couple, and they are also strong people in the foundation building period, the male is called Gong Chen, and the female is called Bai Sui.
"Meet the two uncles. After Qiu Mo arrived, he showed a respectful look and saluted the two.
"He is a disciple of our seventh peak?" Bai Sui opened his eyes, glanced at Qiu Mo, and his gaze fell on Ye Tong, and asked.
"It's my junior brother. Qiu Mo nodded and said.
"Senior Sister Yu has actually accepted an apprentice again, this kid doesn't even seem to have broken through the innate realm, right?" Bai Sui asked with a look of surprise.
"It's an apprentice, my junior brother is only in the eightfold realm of qi refining now. Qiu Mo said.
"And what are you doing here?" asked Baisui.
"My junior brother is going to enter the Earth Fire Cave to cultivate. Qiu Mo said.
"It's just nonsense, even if your master doesn't like this kid, you can't joke with his life, if you don't break through to the innate realm and enter the earth fire cave to cultivate, it's purely to find death, you take him back! ”
Bai Sui frowned when he heard Qiu Mo's words, and said dissatisfied.
"Uncle Bai, my junior brother has already broken through to the third floor of the Heavenly Tower. Qiu Mo said.
"What?"
"What did ......you say? How could a disciple who had only reached the eightfold realm of Qi refining break through to the third layer of the Ascending Tower?" Hearing Qiu Mo's words, Bai Sui bounced up directly from the ground, his eyes widened and he asked incredulously.
"Uncle Bai, what the disciple said is true, although the cultivation level of the junior disciple is very low, his combat effectiveness is very strong. Qiu Mo said.
"It's a bit interesting, he actually broke the judgment of the predecessors of our Fa Lan Sect for generations, and broke through to the third layer with the eightfold realm of qi refining, a very qualified young man! Since this is the case, then let him in!" Gong Chen, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes, and nodded his head with a little smile flowing in his eyes.
"Since your master is willing to let him enter the Earth Fire Cave, then I have no reason to obstruct him, just let him in!" Bai Sui looked at Gong Chen, and then at Ye Tong, the hesitant look on his face lasted for more than ten seconds, and then he said with a wry smile.
"This is intermittent ointment, after entering the Earth Fire Cave, it may be helpful to you, you remember, when you can't hold on, immediately withdraw, there is no requirement to enter the Earth Fire Cave, once you are seriously injured, exit to heal the injury, and then go in again. Bai Sui took out a jade box from the space bag and handed it to Ye Tong and said.
"Thank you Uncle Bai for your kindness, my master has already given me intermittent ointment, when I cultivate in it, if I can't hold it, I will quit immediately. Ye Tong didn't go to pick up the jade box, but said gratefully.
"Okay, then you be careful, you can't quit right away!"
Bai Sui put away the jade box, and as the seal was smashed into the bronze door, the bronze door slowly opened a foot later, and suddenly, a wave of heat poured out from inside, and the surrounding temperature rose several degrees in the snap of a finger.
Ye Tong did not hesitate, and walked inside.
The wide passage in the mountain, the heat wave is churning, Ye Tong walked forward for hundreds of meters, and saw a step down, the steps made of bluestone, there are thousands of layers, when his eyes suddenly opened up, what he saw was the red underground space illuminated by the firelight, the lava rivers, surging without wind, the burning flame fish, jumping out of the magma in the river in groups, and falling happily, the fire crows with fire shining all over their bodies, flying around, one by one fire snakes or crawling or coiling, scattered everywhere.
"That's ......"
Ye Tong's gaze fell on several converging magma rivers, on the red ground, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, and on the red ground, there was a fire dragon, coiled his body, his head up, swallowing a burning dragon ball.
"Whoa, whoa!"
Nearby, several fire snakes rushed towards Ye Tong, as if turning into flaming arrows, but fortunately, Ye Tong was always vigilant, so he dodged in an instant, and then pulled out a long sword from the scabbard.
"Damn it!"
Ye Tong's face suddenly changed greatly, although he dodged the attacks of those fire snakes, he didn't expect the fire snakes to twist their bodies in mid-air, spewing flames at him, and suddenly, his clothes were burned by the flames and made a few scorched holes.
"Quack Quack ......"
A group of fire crows also rushed towards Ye Tong, and the speed made Ye Tong change color again.
"Kill!"
The vitality in Ye Tong's body was frantically urging, and the ghostly figure kept moving, and when he dodged the attacks of the fire snakes, he also had to resist the attacks of the fire crows, whether it was the fire snakes or the fire crows, they could breathe flames, although those flames did not cause much damage to him, but after being hit, the pain was still unbearable.
Just half a quarter of an hour later, Ye Tong's clothes were already scorched, his skin was already red, and the temperature here was extremely high, so he couldn't hold on a little because he couldn't hold on.
While fighting, retreating.
Gradually, Ye Tong had retreated to the top of the thousand-story steps, and the number of fire snakes and fire crows besieging him not only did not decrease, but increased.
"Die!" The three-grade sword technique "Yanbo Sword Codex" is displayed, and the layers of sword shadows are like a dream, and every time it flickers, it can tear apart the body of the fire crow and cut off the body of the fire snake.
"Poof......
The fire crow suddenly rushed from the left back, and its sharp claws tore a wound in Ye Tong's shoulder.
"Fire poison?"
Ye Tong was keenly aware that the torn wound was hot and stinging, and the burning sensation was spreading towards the flesh and blood in his body.
Back off!
Ye Tong's figure gradually retreated into the mountain passage, the dozens of fire crows did not follow, and more than a dozen fire snakes continued to soar and attack, attacking Ye Tong's body, but in this mountain passage, Ye Tong's sword shadow formed an impermeable sword net, blocking the attacks of the fire snakes, and even constantly cutting off their bodies.
At this time, Ye Tong was surprised to find that the fire snakes that were cut into several pieces by him did not die directly, but all the severed limbs kept bouncing, moving in the direction of the stairs, and then followed the stairs until they reached the bottom.
This phenomenon made Ye Tong full of confusion.
His figure, stepping out of the passage again, fell on the severed bouncing fiery snakes, which bounced to the bottom of the stairs, and then continued to move towards the magma river, and soon jumped into the lava river.
"This place ......"
Ye Tong couldn't figure out what kind of cultivation effect he could play after entering this fire cave, in addition to resisting the scorching heat and fighting with the fire snake and the fire crow.
Improve your real-world experience?
No, you don't!
With the eightfold realm of qi refining, he was able to break through to the third layer of the Heavenly Tower, and he was very powerful in terms of actual combat experience, right?
Ye Tong knew that what he lacked most now was the accumulation of vitality, the number of meridians opened, and the improvement of his cultivation realm.
With that puzzlement, Ye Tong took out the jade box, took out a little intermittent ointment from it, and applied it to the wound on his shoulder, and suddenly felt a cool feeling, suppressing the burning sensation, and the fire poison was also removed by the effect of intermittent ointment.
"Rejuvenation. ”
Ye Tong realized that while fighting with the fire snake and the fire crow here, while resisting the strong high temperature, the vitality in his body was depleted very quickly, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the vitality in his body had already consumed two-thirds.
Outside.
Qiu Mo didn't leave in a hurry, looking at Gong Chen and Bai Sui who were sitting cross-legged again, the worry in her eyes was a little more, she didn't know how long her junior brother Ye Tong could last in the Earth Fire Cave, and she didn't know if his life would be in danger.
"Alas!"
"Since you're so worried, why are you in such a hurry to let him enter the Earthfire Cave?" Baisui's gaze swept over Qiu Mo's face, shaking his head and sighing.
"He himself wants to be stronger. Qiu Mo smiled bitterly.
"Every cultivator wants to become stronger, even if we cultivators still want to keep improving, but the truth of wanting to be quick but not reaching it, I think you should understand that cultivating together is also to do what you can. Baisui said.
"My master said that Senior Brother Ye's potential has not really been stimulated. Qiu Mo shook his head and said.
Baisui was silent.
She has an arrogant personality and rarely admires others, but for Yu Qing, who is obsessed with cultivation, she admires it from the bottom of her heart, after all, she is almost the same age as Yu Qing, but the cultivation realm is far from the same.
"Uncle Bai, the disciple of our seventh mountain is described as a madman by the people of other mountains, and the disciple of our seventh peak is even more described as a madman among madmen, since Senior Brother Ye is willing to take risks, doesn't it mean that he is very crazy? I really miss those seniors of our seventh peak?" Qiu Mo glanced at the bronze gate again, and suddenly said with a smile.
"That's the truth. Bai Sui was stunned for a moment, and then smiled dumbly.
"How long do you think that kid can stay in the Earthfire Cave?" Bai Sui's eyes looked at her husband Gong Chen and asked with a smile.
"With his cultivation realm, being able to stay for five days is already considered the limit. Gong Chen said indifferently.
"Five days?"
"You can't think too highly of him, right? Even if you are a cultivator of the Innate First Realm, it is not easy to stay in it for five days all the time. Bai Sui said with a look of surprise.
"Don't forget, he's made it to the third floor of the Tower. Gong Chen said.
"So what? Being able to break through to the third floor of the Tower of Heaven can only show that his combat effectiveness is very strong. But in the Earth Fire Cave, the speed of Yuan Qi consumption is far faster than the recovery speed, even if he has been staying in the passage to cultivate, he will also perceive the speed of Yuan Qi consumption, plus he entered the Earth Fire Cave for the first time, he didn't understand the situation inside, once he continued to fight with those living creatures, the Yuan Qi consumption rate was faster, I think, he can't even stay for two days. Baisui said.
"Do you want to gamble?" Gong Chen asked with a smile.
"Bet on what?" Baisui said without thinking.
"If I win, in another five years, I will leave the Falan Sect with me and go to the Zhongzhu Continent to make a fuss, if I lose, I will stay in the Falan Sect to accompany you for twenty years. Gong Chen said.
