Chapter 14: Two Lines of Earth Fire
"Meet the Sect Master."
Zhu Duanmu saluted respectfully.
Li Mo sat down and waved his hand to signal him to get up.
Zhu Duanmu asked: "There are a lot of abandoned houses in Fang City, and my subordinates have chosen this one after several selections, I don't know if it is in line with the sect master's wishes?"
Li Mo smiled: "I don't care, as long as I can shelter from the wind and rain." ā
Su Yan also said: "Why bother so much when you go out, it's good to have such a big house to live in, what do you think?"
Qin Ke'er nodded lightly and said lightly: "Although this house is old, its taste is good, and it is also from the hands of an elder with status." It would be a blessing to be able to breathe it a little more alive in a hundred years. ā
"It's just that there are no formation facilities inside and outside the house, I'll set up a bunch later, and we can sleep well at night." Liu Ningxuan grinned.
"If that's the case, let's stay here. Li Mo smiled and asked Zhu Duanmu, "Uncle Duanmu, have you figured out the situation here?"
"Sect Master, the basic information has been gathered. Zhu Duanmu replied respectfully.
"Then you can tell me. Li Mo nodded his head.
Zhu Duanmu said: "Now there are more than 20,000 people in Fang City, of which there are more than 10,000 fixed populations, most of whom belong to 13 treasure hunting alliances. ā
"Treasure Hunting Alliance?" Su Yan said curiously.
Zhu Duanmu explained: "Since the fall of Miluo Mountain, six large and small markets have been established here, gathering teams from Luzhou, Hengzhou and Dingzhou, all of which have come to hunt for treasures. Although the spiritual veins of Miluo Mountain were broken and in ruins at that time, there were hundreds of thousands of people and horses gathered here at that time. The traces of various sects here overlap and overlap, and there are several or even dozens of relics of sects on a mountain, and everyone is swarming to excavate, and there is naturally no shortage of big fighters, and later someone proposed that yƬ formed various treasure hunting alliances and divided the mountain, so as to avoid conflicts. ā
"Then there's only one market left here now?" asked Li Mo.
Zhu Duanmu replied: "Exactly, thousands of years ago, Miluo Mountain experienced more than a dozen sect wars of more than 500,000 levels, and the last one led to the destruction of the underground spiritual veins, causing everything on this side to decay, so that until now, the concentration of its heaven and earth qi is only comparable to that of the third-tier sect. The various cultivation treasures dried up, coupled with the destruction of the sect's ruins by the battle, the excavation rate of the treasures was extremely low, so the five fang markets were abandoned later, and now even if the floating population is added, it is only more than 20,000 people. ā
"Then what is the strength of these 13 treasure hunting alliances?" Li Mo asked again.
Zhu Duanmu replied: "Among the 13 alliances, the Blood River Valley, the Fierce Ghost Forest, and the Silver Horn Mountain are the most powerful, all of them have a lineup of about 2,000 people, and the other 10 alliances also have about a few hundred to a thousand people, and the overall strength is not strong, and there are very few Xuan Masters above the Heavenly Dome Realm. ā
Li Mo nodded slightly, it seems that as Song Shuyao said, this is really a ruined place.
Even if there is a fang market, the people gathered here are not afraid, although only thirty people are brought in, but it is enough.
"Now that they have divided the mountain, how are we going to dig in Jiyue Peak?" asked Su Yan on the side.
Zhu Duanmu replied: "The Treasure Hunt Alliance will hold an auction of excavation points every three months to sell the excavation rights of the first three months of each of its peaks, and the highest price will be awarded. Jiyue Peak belongs to the Silver Horn Mountain Alliance, and its next auction will be in a month's time. ā
"Is there an excavation point auction? It's really a bit business-minded, so which alliance does Shuanglong Peak belong to?" Li Mo asked with a smile.
Shuanglong Peak is the place where the Wandao Danjing was unearthed, and it is one of the 4 most central peaks of the 72 peaks of Miluo Mountain.
"The situation of Shuanglong Peak is much more complicated, because there have been many treasures unearthed there in recent years, so the Blood River Valley Alliance and the Fierce Ghost Forest Alliance have always wanted to monopolize it, but there has been no result so far, and there will be conflicts from time to time. Zhu Duanmu replied.
Li Mo groaned slightly, the ruins under Shuanglong Peak are not something that anyone can break into, and the sect has a detailed method for entering, so it is not in a hurry.
He said: "Then let's wait for a month's auction first, Uncle Duanmu, you continue to send someone to inquire about the news." ā
"Yes. ā
Zhu Duanmu bowed and retreated.
At this time, Liu Ningxuan stood up and said with a smile: "I'll go to the house to set up a formation." ā
"Then please leave it to Senior Sister Xuan'er. Li Mo nodded slightly.
After she left, she said again: "There is still a month to go, Yan'er, you can refine the pill, Ke'er, how about you cultivate in the soul refining card?"
"It's fine. Qin Ke'er nodded, but she was not polite to Li Mo.
So, Su Yan returned to the house for alchemy, and Li Mo brought Qin Ke'er into the soul refining card.
When Qin Ke'er entered the small world of a sixth-rank elite beast and disappeared, Li Mo's gaze stayed on the four walls of light.
At this time, there were a total of fifteen balls of light emitting luster in the seventh-rank brute beast area, but one of them was very dim.
Li Mofei went up and looked at it when he arrived at the dim ball of light, and less than half of the Inner Dan was left in between.
"Sure enough!"
Li Mo frowned.
Ever since he had cultivated to the Heavenly Dome Realm, he had been able to see the wall of light beyond.
But the number of seventh-level brute beasts seen at that time was actually very small, only fifteen.
The Soul Refining Card is a thing that has been handed down in ancient times, and it took 10,000 years to reach his hands, during which he did not know how many strong people had passed through it, and there was definitely no shortage of people in the Spirit Realm.
With these powerhouses, they can add a considerable number of seventh-rank brute beasts to the soul refining card for cultivation, and it is not surprising to even say that there are eighth-rank brute beasts, so such a small number is very surprising.
The only thing that can explain this is that the claws of the beast sealed in this stone gate have the ability to devour the inner dan.
The beast claw must have been sealed in the soul refining card when the tool was cast, as for the intention of the seal, it is because of the existence of the beast claw that the soul refining card has the power of a small world, or whether the soul refining card itself is cast to seal the beast claw or other reasons, it is unknown.
But it is very likely that the beast claws seem to have been sealed for this long period of 10,000 years, but they have been secretly absorbing the power of Neidan.
Except for the person who cast the Soul Refining Card, the subsequent owner may not know about the existence of the beast's claws, so even if it is discovered that the disappearance of the Inner Dan is discovered, it will be attributed to other reasons.
This absorption naturally came from the high-level inner pill to the low-grade inner pill, when he came in, the fifteen inner pills were all intact, but now, a month later, only half of the fifteenth inner pill was left.
At this time, Li Mo suddenly felt the seriousness of the matter.
His cultivation speed has always increased so fast, in addition to his own spirit bone body and the cultivation pill that he is constantly swallowing, the most important thing is that he has this soul refining card, which can continuously challenge all kinds of elite and even leader-level brute beasts.
But now the appearance of this beast claw is consuming the seventh-rank inner pill at a high speed, which also means that he must constantly replenish the seventh-rank inner pill in order to have a place to cultivate at any time.
Fortunately, he had already considered this possibility and brought a lot of seventh-rank inner pills from the sect.
At this time, he took out these inner pills and put them into the small world one by one.
In this way, the number of Inner Dan in the Seventh-rank Barbarian Beast Zone has increased to 40, which can somewhat cushion the current situation.
But after this is over, you have to go to the forest to hunt the brute beast Neidan.
After doing this, Li Mo was not in a hurry to cultivate the martial arts, but came out with the soul refining card.
He sat down cross-legged in the room, and with a flip of his right hand, there was a bright earth fire in his hand.
Its fire color is like glass, the core and the released flames are clearly layered, and if you listen carefully, there seems to be a faint sound of tiger roaring.
This is the rare earth fire he took from the treasure house of the sect: the fire of the tiger.
This thing is a thing that has been buried in the ground for thousands of years by the elite Inner Dan of the seventh-rank brute beast Burning Tiger, and it is the attribute of extreme fire.
Li Mo carried the blue water and red flame technique, and in an instant, the aura in his body rotated, and the blue water dragon qi and flame true qi were covered layer by layer, spreading from the inside to the outside.
As Li Mo closed his eyes, the blue water dragon qi and the flame true qi gradually separated, gradually forming two rotating air masses.
This seemingly simple process contains extreme danger, and the key to the operation of the Blue Water and Red Flame Technique is to use the power of rotation to counteract the conflict between the true qi of water and fire.
Therefore, the water vapor and the fire vapor are superimposed on each other.
But now Li Mo wants to separate the two true qi in his body to form a pure water qi mass and a fire qi mass.
Once there is a slight difference in the balance of power between the two qi masses, the two true qi will run amok uncontrollably, and there is enough to worry about his life, but Li Mo has a reason to take such a risk.
When two air masses are formed, the dragon qi and earth fire are stored in the center of the two air masses.
At this time, there is a delicate balance between the two air masses, but because of the relationship between dragon qi, earth, fire, and water, this balance relationship is on the verge of collapse at any time.
At this time, Li Mo quickly swallowed the fire in his mouth.
The earth fire entered the body and rushed towards the abdomen.
At this time, the dragon qi earth fire began to slowly drift towards the air mass of the blue water dragon qi, while the fire of the tiger earth moved towards the air mass of the flame true qi.
Accepting the fire in the true qi is definitely a dangerous step.
Earth fire itself is a very restless being, and it takes great force to control it.
Now the two fires are moving towards the center of the air mass with different attributes, and every inch deeper, it will cause a fluctuation of the air mass, and if this fluctuation is not adjusted in the slightest, it may cause a conflict between the two air masses.
Li Mo stood still, forgetting himself about everything, as if he was two air masses and two earth fires.
With superb manipulation, the two Earth Flames successfully entered the center of the air mass, thus forming two air masses centered on the Earth Fire.
The matter has come to this point but it is not over, Li Mo's hands moved slightly, and between the palms of his palms, the two air masses began to slowly intersect again.
At this time, the situation is even more precipitous, and the balance of power is quite difficult to grasp, gathering two kinds of air masses that are stored in the earth.
However, Li Mo relied on his extraordinary courage and in-depth understanding of the Blue Water and Red Flame Technique, and he managed to perfectly integrate the two earth fires into the air mass.
Now in Li Mo's body, the two earth fires are surrounded by each other, and outside, the two qi of water and fire are also superimposed in wisps, forming a huge vortex body.
At this time, Li Mo exhaled lightly and said with satisfaction: "It's finally completed-two series of earth fire!"
