Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Zhang Yuanjing circled the Fire Dragon Hall, examining it thoroughly, but found no place to break through the formation. He tried using Earth Tunneling Technique once more, but the rear hall of the Fire Dragon Hall was constructed with massive rocks on all sides, engraved with formation restrictions, forming a seamless whole, impossible to breach from below. Thus, he reluctantly glanced at the Dragon Severing Stone, retreated from the hall, and flew up the ring-shaped earthen mountain on his sword.

At this time, only dozens of empty stone houses and cave dwellings remained on the ring-shaped mountain range. All the Guo family cultivators guarding the Fire Dragon Abyss had been slaughtered during the surprise attack by Zhang Yuanjing and his companions.

Zhang Yuanjing sat down cross-legged, took out four storage bags, and examined them one by one.

Guo Yuqing's storage bag contained mostly pill formulas, spiritual herbs, and pills. Apart from the unique Fire Dragon Pill and Fiery Flame Pill, he also possessed formulas for Hundred Spirit Pills used during the Qi Refining stage, Foundation Establishment Pills, Spirit Gathering Powder and Bitter Essence Pills used by Foundation Establishment cultivators, Beast King Pills, and even Spirit Fusion Pills commonly used in the early Core Formation stage. He had many spiritual herbs of various kinds, but they were mostly auxiliary ingredients for several pills, lacking the main ingredients.

As for pills, there were mainly Fire Dragon Pills, as many as fifteen bottles with over a hundred pills. However, there were only three bottles of Fiery Flame Pills, totaling twenty-seven pills.

In addition, there was a high-grade spiritual weapon, two middle-grade spiritual weapons, all fire-attribute; five low-grade spiritual talismans, two high-grade fire attack talismans, two middle-grade earth wall talismans, and one low-grade metal attack talisman. There were also dozens of middle-grade spiritual stones and over a thousand low-grade spiritual stones.

Zhang Yuanjing couldn't help but sigh secretly. As the patriarch of a small family, relying on the Fire Dragon Abyss to refine Fire Dragon Pills, his accumulated wealth was quite substantial, far surpassing an ordinary disciple of a large sect like him.

The other three cultivators had mostly miscellaneous items besides pills and spiritual weapons, far less valuable than Guo Yuqing's possessions. The pills were all for Foundation Establishment cultivators, with some middle and low-grade Spirit Gathering Powder, but not much. To his surprise, there were even two bottles of Beast King Pills, which was an unexpected delight.

There was only one bottle of Fire Dragon Pills, and two bottles of Fiery Flame Pills for each person. As for spiritual weapons, the three of them shared one high-grade spiritual weapon, three middle-grade spiritual weapons, and three low-grade spiritual weapons. Together, they had only a dozen middle-grade spiritual stones and over three hundred low-grade spiritual stones.

The most valuable items were of course the pill formulas and pills, but most of them were useless to Zhang Yuanjing now. Unless he could break through to False Core and gain more lifespan, he wouldn't have much time to learn and improve his pill refining skills.

On the contrary, his most direct goal, obtaining the Fiery Flame Pills and hunting Flame Beasts, had been largely successful. A total of nine bottles and eighty-one Fiery Flame Pills were enough for him to hunt many Flame Beasts.

The only concern was that a Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivator had escaped. Whether this person could contact the Core Formation cultivator stationed at the Fire Dragon Abyss, causing him to return sooner, was unknown.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanjing no longer hesitated, took out a bottle of Fiery Flame Pills, swept to the edge of the Fire Abyss, and then scattered all nine pills into the rolling, heat-filled ground fire.

The Fiery Flame Pill was indeed a special pill for luring Flame Beasts. Less than half an hour after it was scattered, the ground fire churned violently, and several powerful auras gradually rose from the bottom of the abyss.

Zhang Yuanjing concealed his aura and watched the top layer of flames intently. Originally, the top layer of the ground fire was deep yellow, but now the color was gradually fading, even turning somewhat white. However, the temperature of the flames rose sharply, soon exceeding twice the original temperature.

"Could it be that a Spirit Awakening Realm Flame Beast has emerged? It has such great power!" He couldn't help but guess, immediately overestimating the Flame Beast.

After a few more breaths, five huge four-legged lizard beasts floated up from the depths of the ground abyss, constantly tumbling in the uppermost layer of the ground fire, greedily drawing in the outside air.

These Flame Beasts were clearly different from the Savage Blood stage Flame Beasts he had seen. Their body length reached about three zhang, their four legs were stronger and more powerful, and especially the three horns on their heads, not only grew longer, but also became harder and sharper.

These Flame Beasts were all in the Spirit Awakening stage, three early stage and two mid-stage.

While uttering low roars of "Ang Ang Ang", they spewed flames, their ugly and ferocious long faces revealing expressions of both pain and enjoyment.

Zhang Yuanjing watched for a while, but felt a little troubled. Fighting Flame Beasts above this ground fire was not impossible, but the key was that once the opponent sank into the abyss, he couldn't pursue them at all. Unless he could kill them with one strike.

He first summoned the Profound Crystal Axe, blocking it in front of him, and then threw out the Yin Wind Blade, directly slashing at the closest early Spirit Awakening stage Flame Beast.

This beast's five senses were very dull, and it didn't notice the approaching Yin Wind Blade at all. It was hit squarely on its short, thick neck, and with a clear "Ding" sound, the Yin Wind Blade was bounced away, while the Flame Beast was unscathed. However, this beast was enraged by this attack, roaring madly and rushing towards Zhang Yuanjing, spewing a fireball about three to four feet in diameter.

The fireball looked fierce, but its speed was limited. Zhang Yuanjing flashed back and dodged it. The fireball smashed into the earth and stone, making a "Boom Boom" explosion, blasting a half-zhang deep hole in the hard ground, which startled Zhang Yuanjing.

The Flame Beast didn't give up, shaking its heavy body and panting as it chased after him, continuously spewing out four fireballs, blasting the ground near the edge of the abyss, sending earth and stones flying and creating a mess. The huge noise also alarmed the other four Flame Beasts, their turbid and fierce eyes looking over together.

Zhang Yuanjing immediately felt his scalp tingle and retreated repeatedly. Seeing this, the other Flame Beasts lost interest in him, and immediately turned their heads to continue tumbling in the fire, enjoying the painful and happy feeling.

Only the Flame Beast attacked by Zhang Yuanjing was still chasing, its huge body swaying as it climbed onto the ground.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuanjing's eyes lit up. If the Flame Beasts were so vindictive and disliked group actions, then there was a possibility of luring and killing them.

However, before he could be happy, the Flame Beast stepped on the ground twice, then turned around and plunged back into the fire.

Zhang Yuanjing quickly cast a spell, manipulating the Yin Wind Blade to slash fiercely at its tail.

The Flame Beast suffered this blow, naturally not even scratching its skin, but its anger suddenly rose a level. It immediately let out a long roar, turning its head and spewing out seven or eight fireballs at Zhang Yuanjing at once, covering an area of more than ten zhang around him.

"Good beast!" Zhang Yuanjing shouted in a low voice, pointing his finger at the Profound Crystal Axe. The axe was activated, crashing into the fireball directly above. The two collided, the fireball exploded, and the giant axe was knocked away by the powerful explosive force.

Zhang Yuanjing dashed out from the edge of the explosion's aftermath in a split second. At this time, the other fireballs smashed into the earth and stone, making huge roars.

The Flame Beast had already shown a smug look, but seeing that Zhang Yuanjing was able to fly out of the black smoke of the explosion without suffering any damage, it became somewhat manic. It opened its mouth and spewed out hundreds of small fire bullets, like rapidly flying bees, enveloping Zhang Yuanjing.

Zhang Yuanjing was horrified and immediately activated the Swift Travel Boots, pouring mana into them like a tide, instantly increasing his speed to twice its original, flashing sideways for more than twenty zhang, barely dodging the sky full of fire bullets. With a "Pitter-patter" burst of roars, black smoke billowed up, spreading in the air.

"Fire Poison!" Zhang Yuanjing was stunned, then retreated again, fanning his sleeves to blow away the black smoke entangling him.

When the black smoke dissipated, he looked at the Flame Beast again. The beast was lying on the ground fire, panting heavily, its eyes no longer as fierce as before, but full of exhaustion.

Zhang Yuanjing was relieved, knowing that such a big move could only be released once in a short time by an early Spirit Awakening stage Flame Beast.

Immediately, his spell changed, and he continued to manipulate the Yin Wind Blade to attack this Flame Beast. The Flame Beast was hit several times, only opening its mouth to roar a few times, but no longer attacked him, obviously losing its vitality and unable to show off its power.

Seeing that he could not break through the Flame Beast's defense on its back and sides, Zhang Yuanjing manipulated the Yin Wind Blade to attack its abdomen from the ground fire. However, he still couldn't hurt the beast. Unlike many reptile demon beasts, the Flame Beast's abdomen was also covered with armor plates, impervious to spiritual weapon attacks.

Now, Zhang Yuanjing was in trouble. He had finally seized so many Fiery Flame Pills, and lured up five Flame Beasts, but he couldn't kill them.

He couldn't help but regret that he should have captured a Guo family cultivator earlier, even a Qi Refining realm one, at least he could have asked for some clues!

After half an hour, the Flame Beast, immersed in the ground fire, recovered some vitality and began to show its power again. This time, it directly rushed to the earth and stone outside the Fire Abyss, spewing fireballs at Zhang Yuanjing.

This beast's strength was far stronger than ordinary demon beasts of the same realm, but its intelligence was lower. Knowing that these simple moves couldn't hurt Zhang Yuanjing, it still used them instinctively.

Zhang Yuanjing had an idea and immediately took out the Dragon Binding Vine exchanged from Wu Jixiong from his storage bag, channeling mana into it, and then threw it towards the Flame Beast.

The Flame Beast didn't know what this was, but since it was thrown by the enemy, it opened its mouth and spewed a thick line of fire, burning towards the Dragon Binding Vine.

The Dragon Binding Vine accelerated on its own in the air, dodging the fire line with a swish, and directly wrapped around the Flame Beast.

The Flame Beast was shocked and angry, letting out a earth-shattering but extremely short roar. The other Flame Beasts hovering over the fire immediately turned their heads and rushed over, swaying from side to side. Obviously, that roar was a warning for help.

"So this beast is afraid of being bound!" Zhang Yuanjing was overjoyed, communicating with the Dragon Binding Vine with his divine sense. The green vine immediately came to life and began to grow wildly. In an instant, it trapped the Flame Beast like a dumpling, not only binding all four legs, but also wrapping its long mouth tightly, no matter how angry the beast was, it could not open even a tiny gap.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuanjing reached out and summoned the Dragon Binding Vine, bringing the Flame Beast back. However, the speed was very slow, and the lifting distance was very low. It was about to be caught up by the nearest Flame Beast.

He quickly kicked the Swift Travel Boots, flying over rapidly, picked up a section of green vine with his hand, and dragged it up into the sky. The green vine felt heavy in his hand, this beast probably weighed tens of thousands of pounds. He quickly circulated his mana, accelerating the ascent.

The two closest Flame Beasts immediately spewed out several fireballs, hitting Zhang Yuanjing, regardless of whether they would accidentally injure their own kind.

Zhang Yuanjing exerted his strength again, rising six or seven zhang in an instant, dodging all the fireballs. At this time, he was more than twenty zhang above the ground, and the four Flame Beasts in the Fire Abyss spewed out more than a dozen fireballs, passing three or four zhang below him, but they couldn't do anything to him.

He didn't know if the Flame Beasts would leave the ground fire and enter the earthen mountain, so he didn't descend to the earthen mountain, but crossed the ring-shaped mountain range and landed in the desert on one side.
