Chapter 529: Chapter 0524: Enhance Blood Crystal Flame

Summoning Flame Realm, the Kunyun Sacred Land stronghold.

Qian Guang, Jiang Boxiong, and another with a Silver Emblem, along with another with a Copper Emblem, gathered in a dimly lit room.

“There’s no news of Chen Yu!”

The Copper Emblem Holy Guard shook his head.

“I haven’t heard anything either,”

said Jiang Boxiong.

“Could it be that the kid knows we’re after him and he went into hiding beforehand?”

Qian Guang’s face was gloomy with doubt as he glanced at Jiang Boxiong.

Jiang Boxiong had a good relationship with Chen Yu before, so there was the possibility of him having tipped off Chen Yu.

“It’s impossible, I feel that Chen Yu must be acting freely on his own, hunting natives alone, searching for the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal,”

Jiang Boxiong guessed what Qian Guang was thinking and immediately spoke up.

In fact, other than someone tipping off Chen Yu or Chen Yu being killed by the natives, there was only this possibility left.

“Mm, this possibility is also very high.”

Qian Guang nodded in agreement, not too suspicious of Jiang Boxiong.

“If I were Chen Yu and exploring freely, I’d likely choose the southern or western regions, with the south being the most probable, since in case of danger, there’s a chance of encountering members of the Sacred Land…”

Qian Guang took out a map, eyes fixed upon it, and spoke slowly.

“We should split up into two teams to search for traces of Chen Yu, and transmit a message immediately upon discovery.”

Qian Guang made a decision.

“Okay!”

The others agreed as well.

In the end, Qian Guang went with the Copper Emblem Holy Guard, and Jiang Boxiong with the Silver Emblem Holy Guard.

Transported from Kunyun Sacred Land to the Summoning Flame Realm, the transmission point wouldn’t be too far from the Sacred Land, so searching wasn’t too difficult.

In addition, the Holy Land Token had a special function, which was to sense the position of other Holy Guards.

However, only a high-level Holy Guard Token could sense lower-level Holy Guard Tokens. For example, a Silver Emblem Holy Guard Token could detect a Copper Emblem Holy Guard Token, while a Golden Emblem Holy Guard Token could detect both Silver and Copper… This also reflected the absolute authority of positions within the Sacred Land, with the subordinates always obeying their superiors.

…

Fire Fog Forest.

Feng Tianhao took out a piece of Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal and began to absorb and refine it.

He had only heard that if one could cultivate a special physique, the Fire Element Body, it could increase the chances of breaking through to the Sky Sea Realm, but he knew nothing of the specific details.

He didn’t believe that Water Practitioners couldn’t cultivate the Fire Element Body, especially considering that the Red Flame King was just a beast-type Spirit Pet.

Feng Tianhao also felt that reaching the Sky Sea Realm was a rather elusive goal for himself, and he did not want to miss this opportunity.

“You’re being stubborn. Besides Fire Cultivators, who have a great likelihood of cultivating the Fire Element Body, it’s extremely difficult for others, and it’s utterly impossible for Water Practitioners.”

The Red Flame King huffed coldly.

“Is that true?”

Chen Yu sent a telepathic message.

If Chen Yu also couldn’t cultivate the Fire Element Body, then the Red Flame King, a Fire Dao Practitioner, would naturally lay claim to the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal.

“Of course, it’s true. Would this king bother deceiving you?” The Red Flame King was clearly displeased.

“The primary function of this crystal stone is that it contains pure fire elemental Qi power, which can communicate with Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.”

“Actually breaking through to the Sky Sea Realm is a process of connecting to Heaven and Earth to strengthen oneself. Hence, cultivating a Fire Element Body can make this process smoother.”

“Imagine what would happen to a Water Practitioner whose body continuously draws in the fire elemental Qi from the surroundings?”

The Red Flame King laid out the essence of both the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal and the Fire Element Body.

It was clear that the Red Flame King knew a great deal about this subject.

“Besides the Fire Element Body, what other uses does this crystal stone have?”

Chen Yu inquired.

“Then it has a wide range of uses. For example, your ‘Blood Crystal Flame’ can devour this crystal stone to enhance its quality. Similarly, it can also be integrated into Spiritual Artifacts, giving Fire Dao Spiritual Artifacts a certain chance of acquiring a ‘devouring’ characteristic, among other things…”

The Red Flame King suddenly shared numerous uses.

In contrast, all of these required a substantial quantity of Primordial Spirit Flame Crystals to be effective, or else the result wouldn’t be significant.

In fact, the same applied to the Fire Element Body. At least one hundred jin of Primordial Spirit Flame Crystals needed to be refined to have a chance of cultivating the Fire Element Body.

“How about it? I’ve told you so much; should you not share some of that Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal with me?”

Towards the end, the Red Flame King finally showed his true intentions.

Although he was now re-cultivating and had the Holy Beast Bloodline, making his chances of breaking through to the Sky Sea Realm fairly high, there was never a guarantee of one hundred percent success, nor would anyone complain about too great a chance of breaking through the Sky Sea Realm.

Moreover, the Fire Element Body could not only increase the probability of breaking through but also boost a Fire Cultivator’s own cultivation and strength.

“I’ll give you five jin,”

Chen Yu offered only five jin of the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal.

Then, he also started to use the crystal stone himself.

Firstly, he used it to enhance the quality of his “Blood Crystal Flame.”

“Blood Crystal Flame” ranked within the top one hundred on the True Fire Spirit Flame List, its rarity within the Summoning Flame Realm was akin to that of a legendary item, and even in the Kunyun Realm, it was considered an exceptional Spirit Flame.

However, the power it exerted in Chen Yu’s hands was not strong because its intrinsic quality was too low.

Even some True Fire Spirit Flames ranked lower than “Blood Crystal Flame,” if of high enough quality, could actually suppress “Blood Crystal Flame” in battle.

Back in Beiyuan, during the Three Kingdoms Auction, Chen Yu bid for a Blood Sun Stone to nourish the “Blood Crystal Flame,” and now the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal served a similar purpose.

Chen Yu first activated the power of the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal.

Instantly, the crystal stone surged with firelight, emitting faint red glowing specks all around.

The fire elemental Qi from the surroundings rapidly gathered.

Now, Chen Yu understood why the Evil Fire Ancestor was so powerful. As a Fire Cultivator, using weapons refined from this crystal stone could amplify the power of combat techniques. That’s why, at the peak of the mid-stage, he could exert strength comparable to a late Guiyuan Realm cultivator.

Roaring whoosh!

The area gathered with dense fire elemental Qi, and the space all around seemed as if it was on fire.

Swish!

The Red Flame King rose and moved several tens of zhang away.

Certainly, when three people use the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal at the same place, its effects are greatly diminished.

Seeing Red Flame King like this, Chen Yu couldn’t help but walk farther away.

When the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal in Chen Yu’s hand had absorbed and gathered enough fire attribute primordial qi,

Whoosh!

Chen Yu’s palm opened, and within it, a lump of glassy blood flame danced.

He directed the Blood Crystal Flame to rush toward the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal, and at the same time, strands of blood-colored flame spread around, absorbing the rich fire attribute primordial qi nearby.

Before long, the primordial qi in the surroundings was completely devoured, and the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal turned into an ordinary red crystal, dull and without luster.

“The quality has indeed improved.”

Chen Yu felt the power of the Blood Crystal Flame and said with joy.

Although the improvement was not substantial, he still had fourteen jin of Primordial Spirit Flame Crystals, plus the ten jin stored in the Light Silver Crystal Space. If it all was absorbed by the Blood Crystal Flame in this way, the effect would be very significant.

At that moment, not far away, Feng Tianhao suddenly let out a loud cry, his body emitting steamy azure smoke.

He suddenly fell down, rolled on the ground a few times, struggled for a moment, and then calmed down somewhat.

“Failed.”

Feng Tianhao murmured with his head down.

He had only absorbed three jin of Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal, and his body was already showing abnormalities. Continuing to absorb forcibly would only lead to more severe consequences.

“It’s earlier than expected, oh, that’s right, he also has water lineage bloodlines, which add more resistance.”

Red Flame King laughed after seeing this scene from a distance.

Feng Tianhao suddenly got up and looked toward Red Flame King, “This ancient beast’s experiences are not ordinary; it knows things even I do not know.”

At this point, Feng Tianhao had full confidence in Red Flame King.

Feng Tianhao walked over slowly, a hint of a smile on his face, “Fire Scale Beast, if Primordial Spirit Flame Crystals can only be absorbed by Fire Cultivators for cultivating the Fire Element Body, then is there also a Water Element Body?”

“Of course,” affirmed Red Flame King.

Originally, Feng Tianhao was just guessing in his heart, making a wild guess; Red Flame King’s answer excited him instantly.

“Really?”

“Don’t believe it then,” Red Flame King replied, indifferent.

“I do, I do, but I just don’t know, how does one cultivate this Water Element Body?”

Feng Tianhao bent over, a fawning smile on his face.

But Red Flame King didn’t give him the time of day.

Somewhat helplessly, Feng Tianhao took out three jin of the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal from his storage bag and handed it over.

“You’re too stingy.”

Red Flame King received the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal and still complained.

“There’s a treasure called ‘Azure Water Glass’, the excellent rare gem for cultivating the Water Element Body. However, this treasure is so rare it’s almost impossible to find…”

…

The night still remained scorching within the Forest of Fire Mist.

Within the hollow of an ancient tree five li away, two figures appeared indistinctly.

“Elder brother, what should we do? Should we go back and have a look?”

A disciple in the early stages of the Guiyuan Realm asked.

“Let’s wait a few more days. Those two people are strong, even our Master couldn’t match them; perhaps they are already dead by their hands.”

Another thin man replied calmly.

These two were the disciples of the Evil Fire Ancestor.

When the Evil Fire Ancestor suddenly attacked Chen Yu, whilst they managed to escape in the chaos, they didn’t flee too far away.

“Should we take revenge for our Master?”

The Guiyuan Realm disciple asked.

“Revenge?”

The thin man shook his head slightly and chuckled.

Right at that moment, he sensed something.

Soon after, a formidable pressure descended, making the area within a hundred zhang oppressively silent, with all sounds ceasing.

“Who’s there?”

The Guiyuan Realm disciple asked in alarmed whispers, his face pale with fear.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Four figures arrived at the scene, each emanating the aura of the Guiyuan Realm. Among them was a white-haired old man whose terrible aura made others dare not approach.

“Welcome Sect Leader Song!”

The thin disciple immediately showed a smile and bowed slightly.

Seeing his senior brother recognizing this person, the other disciple heaved a sigh of relief.

“Let’s go, it’s time to collect your Master’s dog life.”

The white-haired elder’s voice was hoarse and cold, carrying an unmistakable tone of authority.

“Sect Leader Song, something unexpected happened.”

The thin disciple said.

“Unexpected?”

The white-haired elder’s eyes bulged slightly, staring intently, making the thin disciple’s heart pound with fear.

“Sect Leader Song, hear me out, two outsiders suddenly intruded here and started a fierce battle with that old man, the outcome is uncertain…”

The thin disciple quickly explained.

Originally, he had made a deal with the Fire Lion Sect to take action against the Evil Fire Ancestor in the next few days, but something like this had happened unexpectedly.

“Oh?”

The white-haired elder and the others appeared contemplative.

“Elder brother… why did you betray Master?”

Hearing this conversation, the Guiyuan Realm disciple was shaken, staring incredulously at his senior brother, who had betrayed their Master.

“Little brother, you’re still so naive. Did you truly believe our Master came here just for quiet cultivation? Let me tell you, he was hiding Primordial Spirit Flame Crystals underneath his residence. That was his real goal; we were all fooled by him!”

The thin disciple chuckled.
