Chapter 239: Crimson Lotus Blaze, Blast Flame Pearl
Chapter 239: Crimson Lotus Blaze, Blast Flame Pearl
Lu Chen focused his attention on the lotus flame, and information about it immediately surfaced.
Crimson Lotus Blaze, a third-grade exotic fire, is a companion flame of the Yang Red Lotus. It can be used for pill refining and artifact crafting, slightly enhancing the quality and success rate of pills and magical artifacts.
"A companion flame of the Yang Red Lotus?" Lu Chen murmured to himself.
"For a companion flame to already be a third-grade exotic fire, one can only wonder what grade the Yang Red Lotus itself is."
Just hearing the name of this spiritual herb made his heart itch with curiosity, and he wondered if he would ever get the chance to try cultivating it.
The ball of light was not important to him; he was more interested in the challenge of cultivating a high-grade spiritual herb.
Lu Chen carefully contained the Crimson Lotus Blaze within a special jade vessel and turned his attention back to the Flaming Fruit spiritual herb, examining its spiritual fruit.
"Hey, I found another one!" Lu Chen chuckled as he spotted the flame-shaped spiritual fruit hiding among the pale red leaves.
He focused his mind, and the faint progress bar below the spiritual fruit filled up completely.
Carefully, he plucked the fruit.
"Good quality, not bad at all."
A thought flashed through his mind.
Flaming Fruit, a second-grade spiritual fruit...
Now that the spiritual fruit had been harvested, the main attraction was the white ball of light that appeared in its original position.
The white ball of light shone brilliantly against the backdrop of the pale red leaves, drawing one's gaze.
"Show yourself, little treasure," Lu Chen said, raising an eyebrow as he reached out and gently touched the surface of the light ball.
The light ball exploded with a boom, turning into countless specks of light that scattered in all directions, only to be drawn back towards Lu Chen's body as if pulled by a magnet. Like a rainbow piercing the sun, the specks of light flowed into his body one after the other.
Harvested one second-grade Flaming Fruit and obtained a third-grade treasure, Blast Flame Pearl.
A chicken egg-sized, crimson stone pearl appeared in Lu Chen's palm. Within the pearl, one could see fiery red lava surging and swirling as if it were a volcano about to erupt, containing an incredibly terrifying power.
Lu Chen focused his mind, and information about the stone pearl instantly appeared in his mind.
"Inferno Pearl, a third-grade treasure, seals a high-level fire-attribute technique, Inferno Technique. When activated, it can explode in a wide range, releasing scorching flames that are extremely lethal."
"A wide-range attack technique, Explosion is Art." Lu Chen carefully stored the third-grade Blast Flame Pearl into his storage bag, afraid that he might accidentally detonate this volatile bomb.
He wasn't worried about hurting himself, but he didn't want to accidentally blow up all the flora and fauna on the mountain peak.
After circling the ten Flaming Fruit spiritual herbs and confirming that there were no other fully ripe spiritual fruits, Lu Chen proceeded to inspect the other spiritual herbs on the peak.
In the Wu Spirit Soil spirit field, more than eighty Water Glow Grasses that he had planted had taken root and sprouted. Their pale blue leaves were adorned with sparkling white lights, creating a dreamlike and ethereal sight.
As a gentle breeze blew, the delicate leaves swayed gently, exuberantly displaying their vibrant vitality.
Lu Chen's spiritual power surged, and he cast a series of precise Spirit Rain Techniques, ensuring that each Water Glow Grass received ample moisture.
"As expected of a special spirit soil, the growth rate of spiritual herbs is significantly faster than usual," Lu Chen remarked, comparing the growth trend of the Water Glow Grass to what he had observed before.
In another plot of Wu Spirit Soil, the four Spirit-Containing Pines immediately sensed Lu Chen's approach and expressed their affection with gentle rustling sounds that resembled soft pine waves. After being nurtured day and night by Lu Chen's spiritual sense, these fourth-grade Spirit-Containing Pines were brimming with spirituality, like immobile toddlers overflowing with joy whenever Lu Chen drew near.
A light gray vine sneaked out from Lu Chen's sleeve and hid behind one of the Spirit-Containing Pines, occasionally standing tall and then lying down next to the small pine tree as if measuring the best way to take a bite.
Lu Chen collected the timid but greedy seedling and made his way to the mouth of the cave, where the earthfire tributary flowed. He leaped into the scorching lava, where the fourth-grade Earthfire Heart Lotus floated, allowing the fiery magma to wash over it.
High above, embedded in the stone wall, lay the charred body of the Phoenix Wood. Its surface was covered in dark golden cracks, extending to its center, forming a pair of phoenix shadows. The wings of these shadows were etched with intricate dark golden patterns, so lifelike that they seemed ready to burst forth from the wood at any moment.
"You must be hungry after a month or two," Lu Chen said. "Today, I'll let you have your fill."
The fire spirit energy from the earthfire tributary was just enough to keep the Phoenix Wood alive. If he wanted to promote its growth, he would need to cultivate it with a third-grade or higher exotic fire.
He took out a rune-sealed jade box from his storage bag and released the Crimson Lotus Blaze within.
As soon as it appeared, the dark golden cracks on the Phoenix Wood lit up, and a powerful suction force drew the Crimson Lotus Blaze closer.
Lu Chen released his grip, and the Crimson Lotus Blaze danced and spun its way to the Phoenix Wood.
The layers of fiery petals ignited, transforming into slender flames that struck the Phoenix Wood.
Fiery light radiated in all directions before merging into the dark golden cracks, flowing towards the center of the wood.
The phoenix shadows were filled with this fiery light, and a crimson lotus blossomed from the wood's center, rapidly growing in size as its petals silently unfurled.
Within the petals, a pair of phoenix shadows, no larger than a thumb, remained. They chirped with a clear and joyful sound, their voices filled with elation.
"Fire Lotus from Charred Wood," Lu Chen murmured, his eyes softening as he gazed at the delicate phoenix shadows.
"Finally, I can give you the proper care you deserve," he added, a hint of emotion in his voice.
With the maturation of the Blazing Fruit, Lu Chen had obtained the third-grade exotic fire, Crimson Lotus Blaze, and the third-grade treasure, Blast Flame Pearl. One had solved his urgent need, and the other would greatly enhance his offensive capabilities.
Thinking of the abundance of Blazing Fruits waiting to be harvested, Lu Chen's mood brightened considerably.
He retrieved a large amount of demon beast meat from his house and evenly divided the Blazing Fruits and Jade Scale Fruits he had obtained. He paired them with the Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice he had prepared earlier.
The aroma of grilled meat, the fragrance of ripe spirit fruits, and the refreshing scent of the spirit juice filled the air.
A light cyan shadow flashed by, and the baby Wind Falcon, with its round belly, skidded to a stop, its eyes fixed on the array of food in the courtyard.
The young Flood Dragon followed closely, its attention mostly on the Blazing Fruits, which shared the same origin as itself.
"Roar..."
The Cloud-Walking Lynx let out a low growl, its eyes flicking with a hint of greed as it circled the courtyard walls, feigning nonchalance.
Four heads emerged from a clearing, their eyes fixed on the spread of food, unblinking.
On the Ghostly Demon Vine seedling, the newly grown tendrils quivered with excitement.
Deep in its memory, eating even a tiny bit of spirit plant or demon beast meat was considered good luck. Going hungry for extended periods was the norm.
For the Ghostly Demon Vine clan, half-imprisoned in this blessed land's herb garden, having something to eat was already a blessing; they didn't dare to be picky about taste or preferences.
But now...
The sizzling sound of grilled demon beast meat filled the air, along with the mouthwatering aroma. The fine-quality spirit fruits and the carefully prepared spirit juice...
This was a feast beyond their wildest dreams!
For a moment, the Ghostly Demon Vine seedling was dazed by the extravagance, and the figure of Lu Chen, busy preparing the feast, loomed larger in its perception.
"Dig in!" Lu Chen announced, and the excitement among the creatures peaked.
