In the mountain temple, Li Zhe and Zhang Tianbao sat opposite each other, and there were seventy or eighty lower-grade spirit stones stacked in front of them, a few small porcelain bottles and the corpse talisman. Six empty storage bags were tossed aside.

In addition to the storage bag of the brocade-clothed man, more than fifty lower-grade spirit stones were poured out, and the other five people only had three or five lower-grade spirit stones, and their net worth was very average. Those small porcelain bottles all contained the elixir, and there were only seven or eight grains in total, and the quality was also very poor.

Spirit stone and spirit elixir, Li Zhe is not interested, the only thing he likes is the corpse suppression talisman. He bluntly asked: "Brother Zhang, I'm very interested in this corpse talisman. It's better to do this, I only take the corpse suppression talisman, and the spirit stones and pills are all yours, I don't know what you think?"

"It's useless for me to take the corpse talisman, Brother Li needs to take it. We still have one and a half spirit stones and pills. As he spoke, Zhang Tianbao was ready to divide half of the spirit stone and pill.

"Let's brothers, each take what he needs. To put it mildly, I don't lack spirit stones and pills, Brother Zhang, you can accept it. Li Zhe pressed Zhang Tianbao's hand and said. Speaking of this, Zhang Tianbao was right to think about it, so he was no longer polite, and put away the spirit stone and pill.

Li Zhe got the corpse suppression talisman, and Zhang Tianbao took more than seventy lower-grade spirit stones, which was a huge amount of money for the scattered cultivators, and both parties were very satisfied.

The two of them stepped out of the mountain temple and prepared to go their separate ways.

Before leaving, Li Zhe asked: "I don't know where Brother Zhang's fairy town is? In the future, the younger brother will definitely come to visit." ”

"Our Zhang family lives in the Baixiu Forest on the edge of the Youyue Forest. The Hundred Cultivation Forest is a place where scattered cultivators live, and it is very easy to find at the junction of your Yunmeng Sect and Ten Thousand Beast Village. Brother Li can come to me at any time when he has time. ”

After reluctantly saying goodbye, the two left separately.

A few days later, Li Zhe returned to his long-lost hometown, Lijia Village.

After the tragedy of destroying the village eight years ago, Lijia Village has become a famous murderous place within a radius of 100 miles, and no one dares to set foot in half a step. Uninhabited for a long time, Lijia Village has been completely dilapidated, with broken eaves and broken walls everywhere, which is very different from the hometown in Li Zhe's memory.

Li Zhe had no choice but to go directly to the cemetery in the back mountain. As expected, the cemetery in the back mountain has long been dilapidated, overgrown with weeds and shrubs, making it difficult for people to walk an inch.

Without saying a word, Li Zhe immediately set about cleaning up the grave. By the time the graveyard was cleaned up and the dead were sacrificed, the moon was already hanging high.

Li Zhe sat on the ground in the cemetery, planning to spend the last night with his father and fellow villagers, and set off early tomorrow morning to return to Yunmengzong.

In the middle of the night, Li Zhe, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, vaguely felt a faint fluctuation of the fire element coming from afar.

When I opened my eyes and took a closer look, I saw that in the Phoenix Mountain in front of me, there was a place that emitted a faint red light, which appeared and disappeared from time to time.

If it weren't for the middle of the night and the right perspective, Li Zhe wouldn't be so easy to find.

Li Zhe's curiosity was immediately aroused by this red light, so Yu Feng flew towards this red light.

The mountain of Phoenix Mountain is east-west, high in the east and low in the west, the shape of the whole mountain is like a phoenix bird, the east is the head, the west is the tail, and there are really eight or nine similarities under the careful look.

According to legend, countless years ago, someone saw a phoenix screaming from the sky and lying down here. The huge body turned into the mountain, forming this Phoenix Mountain. Of course, this is just a legend and cannot be taken seriously.

After cultivating in Yunmeng's lower courtyard for many years, Li Zhe has studied a lot of books on cultivation and has an understanding of phoenixes.

The phoenix, also known as the Vermilion Bird, is a fire beast that will have immortal-level mana when it reaches adulthood. It is impossible for them to appear in this realm, and only in the legendary immortal realm will this fire divine beast exist.

The closer you get to the red light, the stronger the fluctuations of the fire element.

Could it be that there is a fire magic weapon to be born, this is my chance, Li Zhe was secretly proud in his heart.

Finding the place where the red light was emitted, Li Zhe discovered that the so-called red light was the light that overflowed from the mountain through a small stone crack. Under the blockage of the mountain, the overflowing red light is quite faint, and it is difficult for ordinary people to notice it if they are not paying attention.

Since you are here, of course, you have to find out the source of the red light.

Li Zhe slammed two punches at the crack in the stone. Under the bombardment of the golden fist, the stones around the stone crevice were shattered, and the stone crevice suddenly expanded, revealing a long and winding cave.

The height of the cave is just enough to accommodate an adult to pass through. Under the effect of the fire, the stone walls on the inside of the cave are bright fiery red.

Li Zhe flashed and burrowed into the stone cave. Along the long and winding cave, Li Zhe slowly advanced. When you encounter a stone blocking, you will directly wave your fists to open the way.

After drilling the cave for nearly half an hour, Li Zhe finally came to a stone room. The shape of this stone chamber is an irregular circle with a diameter of about 20 zhang. Looking at the pitted stone walls of the stone chamber, it is clear that this stone chamber is completely natural.

As soon as he stepped into the stone chamber, Li Zhe obviously felt a wave of heat rushing towards his face, and the temperature in the stone chamber was significantly higher than that in the cave.

After entering the stone chamber, the first thing Li Zhe did was to carefully observe the stone chamber.

Soon, two strange objects caught his eye, the first being an oval red object the size of a wheel. It lay quietly in the middle of the stone chamber in the middle of the stone thicket, emitting a strong red light and bursting out with strong fire elemental fluctuations. The other is that on the edge side of the stone chamber, there is a fist-sized bead. Cyan, white, red, yellow, and black colors flow constantly on the surface of the beads, and the light of the five colors is scattered alternately into the air, which is very beautiful.

Li Zhe walked to the center of the stone chamber, squatted next to the oval object, and observed it carefully. The surface of this object is very smooth, like an eggshell. It seems that this oval-shaped object should be the egg of some kind of monster.

Li Zhe boldly stretched out his right index finger and tapped the eggshell. Unexpectedly, as soon as his fingers touched the eggshell, a puff of green smoke came out, and the sharp pain came back from his finger dust, which made him let out a miserable scream, and quickly withdrew his hand and shook it wildly.

Looking down again, the finger dust of the index finger of his right hand has become charred black. The temperature of the eggshell was too high, and even Li Zhe's tough body couldn't resist it in the slightest. The temperature of the giant egg is so high, Li Zhe can't take it away at all.

So, he decided to ignore the giant egg for the time being, and turned to look at the beautiful multicolored beads.

Unbeknownst to him, as soon as he turned around, a burst of "clattering" sounds came from behind him, as if something had shattered.

He secretly sighed in his heart, and quickly turned around to look. Several cracks appeared on the surface of the dome, and the cracks were still spreading, increasing, and soon as the cracks converged, a large crack appeared.

The fire inside the egg seemed to have found an outlet, and erupted violently from the crack, and the temperature of the stone chamber, which was already very hot, instantly rose several times.

To make matters worse, a terrifying wave of life erupted violently from the cracks.

Seeing this scene, Li Zhe hurriedly retreated, wanting to exit the stone chamber immediately. The situation was extremely unpleasant, and this powerful life fluctuation showed that whatever would come out of this fire egg was not something he could face.

Be careful, or leave first.

Unfortunately, Li Zhe's action was too late. With a loud bang, the fire egg exploded suddenly, and the powerful wave of qi threw Li Zhe up completely, and then smashed it on the stone wall like a sandbag.

Li Zhe felt an irresistible force that pressed his limbs against the stone wall in the air, and the force was so great that he couldn't even move a finger. The powerful flames inside the egg were fully released, and the temperature inside the stone chamber rose to a terrifying level.

At this time, Li Zhe's situation can only be described as miserable. He felt as if he had been pressed against a scorching slab with a boulder. The weight was so heavy that he couldn't move, his bones rattled, the pain went from his whole body back to his brain, and he knew he had suffered severe internal injuries. If it weren't for the physical talent, I am afraid that it would have been crushed into a pile of minced meat.

If Li Zhe can barely endure the heavy pressure, then the high temperature makes him worse than dead. By this time, the clothes on his body had long since turned to ashes. Li Zhe felt as if he was being tied up in a hot oven, his skin was roasted to a "zig, zi" sound, and the air was filled with the aroma of barbecue.

The water in his whole body turned into steam, scrambling to run away from his body, and even the fat in his body turned into hot oil and dripped from his body. If he continues like this, he will become a human being.

If it weren't for the fact that his body was different from ordinary people, and his flesh and blood were extremely tightly combined, so that the fire element could not take advantage of it, otherwise he would have been roasted at this time, which was really the most cruel criminal law in the world.

I had the intention to use the rock armor technique to relieve the pressure, but unfortunately the force that pressed him was too strong, and even the mana was pressed into the dantian, and it was difficult to move a bit.

So far, except to grit his teeth and persevere, Li Zhe has no choice.

A red flame rose from the shattered dome and hovered in the center of the stone chamber. This firelight was like a small sun, radiating an extremely dazzling light, stabbing Li Zhe to open his eyes and not dare to look directly.

In this way, he naturally didn't know what was in the firelight, and could only feel the surging life fluctuations surging in the light cluster, and a light birdsong was heard. The power contained in this firelight is completely beyond Li Zhe's cognitive level, and can only be described as infinitely terrifying.

The dazzling light faded, revealing a fist-sized red bird in the firelight. This red bird is extremely beautiful, with a chicken head, swallow jaw, snake neck, turtle back, fish tail, and three bright long tail feathers, revealing a gorgeous royal temperament. With its head held high, it flapped its wings incessantly, levitating in the air.

Li Zhe almost couldn't believe his eyes, isn't this the legendary phoenix?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Li Zhe immediately overturned his judgment again, it was impossible for the phoenix to appear in this realm. The red bird should be a special demon bird with phoenix blood.

The flame of the talisman slowly dissipated, making the red bird extremely dissatisfied. It flapped its wings twice, and the flames that had been lost regrouped around it, and the light around it shone brightly, but not as much as before.

The good times didn't last long, and the flames that had been regathered were spreading out again. The little bird was not willing to fail, and flapped its wings desperately to gather the flames again.

However, there seemed to be an invisible force competing with the birds for these flames, and the red birds were completely at a disadvantage.

After several repetitions, not only did the flame of the talisman completely dissipate, but even the bird itself was much dimmer, far less bright than when it first appeared.
