Chapter Ninety-Six: The Sacred Flame

After Lu Qi listened to the narration of the old man of the Five Elements, he suddenly felt a chill in his back, and he was deeply ashamed of the insidious methods of the Danyang clan, and at the same time worried about his brother, he couldn't help but want to fight at the moment and destroy this Danyang clan, but after thinking about it again, he finally resisted the impulse, if that was the case, it would be very slim to rescue his brother, because at that time, I was afraid that some despicable people would threaten my brother's life, and I was afraid that he would fall into a dilemma.

"For now, let's bear with it, go deep into the interior first, find out my brother's whereabouts, and after I rescue my brother safely, it's not too late to come and bloodied the Danyang clan," Lu Qi thought to himself.

"I'm your overseer, all of them stand in line for me to go!" said one of the young men in strong suits.

After drinking a lot in this life, some monks in the front row stood in two rows very obediently, and Lu Qi also pretended to be sluggish and followed silently.

The young man in the suit silently counted the number of people, and after making sure that there was no omission, he waved his hand to set off, and everyone followed them out slowly, the column was arranged in a neat and orderly manner, Lu Qi followed behind the team, observed the monks on the left and right, and found that they were all expressionless, and there was a confused look in their eyes, as if they had been controlled by someone, which was extremely strange.

"Master, why don't these monks even have an autonomous consciousness, like zombies?" Lu Qi couldn't help but ask in his mind.

"These people have been poisoned, I have heard of people refining this evil sect before, it is said that by injecting a trace of divine thought into the furnace ding, you can absorb the 'qi blood' of the furnace ding and improve your own cultivation, these people should be regarded as the furnace ding," the old man of the five elements said faintly.

"This must be the practice practiced by people within the Danyang clan, it is really vicious, fortunately, the master helped me devour that trace of divine thought, otherwise, I would also be like these people, being slowly exhausted and dying. Lu Qi said happily, still having palpitations when he thought about it at the moment.

"Well, let's try to break into the enemy's interior first, see who did it, and then we can catch them all, and it's also fun!" The old man of the five elements said with some emotion, as if these things were quite easy for him.

Lu Qi listened to it but didn't think so, he felt that this place was like a tiger's den in Longtan, extremely dangerous, and not as easy and natural as the master said.

Lu Qi followed the team and kept marching to the back of the courtyard, although it was winter at this time, and the climate should be cold, but there was no sense of severe cold on the way, but it felt milder and milder, and slowly there was a sense of heat.

Some of the monks already felt the heat, so they simply untied the clothes they were wearing, and some of them had some beads of sweat on their foreheads, which were all seen by Lu Qi, he was also a little hot at this time, so he had to loosen his neckline, and the two young men who led the team did not let them run wildly, but walked slowly on the path like mortals, like a walk.

It may be that the young man who led the team knows that these people have been poisoned, so he doesn't want them to run with their spirits, in order to preserve their strength.

After about a stick of incense, an altar appeared in front of Lu Qi's eyes, and there was a wall in front of the altar, on which a large piece of flame totem was painted on silk, and in the center of the flame totem was a lifelike picture, in which a big bird with red feathers was carved, showing the appearance of taking off;

Lu Qi was extremely shocked by this, could it be that there was still a connection between them? This is Yingyue City, which is thousands of miles away from that Stygian Mountain, so it is impossible to have any connection at all, but what is the Vermilion Bird picture here?

"Wait here for a moment, I'll open the door first," the young man who led the team said, and then took out a token from the storage bag, and after a faint light shone on the picture of the altar, there was a loud rumbling sound at the altar, and a stone door opened, and bluestone steps rose from the stone door, and he walked down the steps.

Lu Qi only looked at the two leading youths at this time, they were all in the foundation building period, and the cultivation of the young man who entered the underground had already reached the great consummation of the foundation building period, and he was at the same level, seeing that his age was only about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and he was also considered a high-level cultivator in the cultivation realm, he couldn't help but pay some attention to the strength of the Danyang clan.

The remaining young man who led the team seemed to be watching them, and a pair of eyes swept the audience, as if he was afraid that someone would escape, but right here, the expression of a middle-aged monk was seen by Lu Qi.

I saw this middle-aged monk, about thirty years old, he was wearing a pale purple ten brocade shirt, a cyan dragon pattern gentry belt tied around his waist, long black hair, with a pair of deep starry eyes, quite a beautiful figure, although he looked sluggish, but he seemed to be pretending to be deliberate, and also looked at Lu Qi, judging theoretically, this person should not be poisoned, but pretended to be in a trance, so as to probe the truth, it is estimated that the purpose should be the same as Lu Qi.

After a while, the young man came out of the steps and waved his hand at them, and the leading young man here understood, and led the procession neatly into the main entrance of the altar.

After Lu Qi followed them up the steps, he suddenly felt a wave of heat hit, and his whole body was unbearable, like a fire, he hurriedly ran the Great Zhou Tiangong, and the aura traveled all over the body, and after a while, the whole person was much more comfortable, and the feeling of heat just now disappeared.

The rest of the people were soaked in the heat wave, their faces were red, and even walking was extremely slow, but the young man who led the team reprimanded: "Bear with me, it's a little hot here, and when you get used to the environment here in the future, you will be much more comfortable, this kind of heat will only make you resist all the time, and it will also be of great benefit to your cultivation." โ€

Most of the people nodded in response, looking extremely obedient, but Lu Qi knew very well in his heart that these people had been temporarily controlled by their souls, and they couldn't lift their spirits at all.

However, the middle-aged monk who was in the same team as Lu Qi looked as usual, not affected by the heat, and his steps were unusually steady, Lu Qi observed this person's demeanor, and was quite curious about him in his heart.

The deeper you go, the hotter it gets, and finally you reach your destination, only to see that the ground is full of spirit grass, spirit fruits, and the skeletons and furs of demon beasts, and more than a dozen Dan furnaces have been erected in front of these materials, and the Dan furnaces are about a zhang apart, but there is a raging fire burning under the furnace, and these Dan furnaces don't know what materials are cast, but they are very resistant to burning, and even the color has not changed, but the Dan furnace is empty.

If this is the case, our lives should be fine, but my brother is not here, is it because his cultivation is too low, and he is divided elsewhere?' Lu Qi looked at the Dan furnaces and alchemy materials all over the ground, and silently guessed in his heart.

The young man in the lead looked at everyone and shouted: "Everyone, this will be your alchemy place in the future, I know that you don't know alchemy at the beginning, but here you don't need to know the tricks of alchemy, but you only need to process these materials into semi-finished products, and it is very simple to cultivate during your foundation building period,"

The other young man had a somewhat arrogant expression and said in a loud voice: "In the future, the two of us will be your overseers, if you are lazy or trying to escape, then don't blame our subordinates for being ruthless!" he said and looked at everyone with a pair of grim eyes.

"Let's get to work, your task is to put these materials in the furnace, bake the city paste, and then take out these semi-finished paste materials and put them in the wooden box at the back, this is the process you have to complete, start now!" said the young overseer.

After everyone heard the arrangement, they were very obedient and walked to the side of the Dan furnace and began to work in an orderly manner according to the arrangement of the overseer.

Lu Qi also found a Dan furnace, and his face was red from a flame, he hurriedly used his aura to protect his body, and at the same time picked up the spiritual grass and spiritual fruit on the ground, and put it into the Dan furnace, after a while, some medicinal herbs and spiritual fruits turned into liquid, with the evaporation of some water, slowly turned into a paste, and its shape was uneven, he originally wanted to use the earth technique to take out these paste-like materials, but in order to conceal his cultivation, he could only grab it by hand, so he used the aura cover to surround the entire palm, quickly took out the paste-like material, and then turned around and put it into the wooden box in the back row, all this was only between the electric light and flintใ€‚

These simple alchemy methods are not difficult for Lu Qi, and they can even enhance the power of the divine soul, he feels that he has benefited a lot, and he is immersed in self-forgetfulness, when the old man of the five elements suddenly wakes up;

"Under this underground, I feel the breath of holy fire, this time we came to the Danyang Clan, it was really worth the trip!" said the Old Man of the Five Elements in his mind.

"What is the Holy Flame?" Lu Qi asked in his mind, puzzled.

"The Holy Flame is a flame that has been naturally formed in this world for thousands of years, and some of them are already quite intelligent, and can also cultivate into human form, but their cultivation is also extremely difficult, and some of them only take hundreds of years to upgrade to a level, which is a world of difference compared to the cultivation speed of our human beings," the Old Man of the Five Elements explained slowly.

"Then is this holy flame powerful?" Lu Qi asked again.

The holy fire must be powerful, they not only have spiritual intelligence, but also have different styles of burning, and there are many different types of holy fires, such as some holy fires specifically burn souls, some holy fires burn the body, some burn magic weapons, some holy fires burn mountains and rivers, some holy fires burn lakes, some burn spiritual energy and spiritual power, and so on...... That's all I know so far.

'This vast world is really full of wonders,' Lu Qi was full of emotion in his heart, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Master, my earth art has been cultivated to the perfection realm, is it time to cultivate other five element attributes?"

"That's right, Master is about to tell you, do you know what attributes to practice next?" The old man of the Five Elements deliberately sold a pass, wanting to test Lu Qi's understanding.

The five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, Lu Qi went through it in his mind, he thought for a moment, and said softly: "Is it fire?"
