Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 429: 1 Road to Immortality 20

And in this fleeting moment, when all the Scorpion King's guards rushed to the bottom of the frozen crystal column, their attention was completely diverted -

Yun Chu moved.

Without any fanfare, the green figure teleported, leaving behind a faint trail of ice. Her target was the inverted tip of the giant purple crystal column!

In the information just transmitted by the flying fire ants, she keenly caught a detail: at the place where the energy of this purple crystal column fluctuated most violently, a few feet below its tip, it was not completely solid, but had a natural groove only about a foot square, shaped like a mortar.

At this moment, the "stone mortar" was half full of a viscous liquid that looked like liquid purple chalcedony - it was the crystal marrow spirit milk formed by the condensation and liquefaction of pure crystal marrow spirit essence!

Its preciousness is a hundred times greater than the energy dissipated by the crystal column itself!

It is the essence that can be condensed over countless years!

That is the most essential treasure in the core of this mineral vein!

The moment all the scorpion kings' attention was diverted and they pounced to the bottom of the crystal pillar in an attempt to "break the ice", Yun Chu had already flown silently to the top of the crystal pillar like a light green feather.

The soft light of the Liuyunyi made her almost invisible against the crystal wall background.

With a flip of her hand, a jade bottle carved from a single piece of ice jade and engraved with space-stabilizing runes appeared in her palm. The bottle mouth was aligned with the mortar-like groove.

"receive!"

No hesitation, no dragging your feet.

Yun Chu's movements were smooth and flowing, his mind wrapped around the half tank of sticky crystal marrow milk that was emitting an intoxicating purple-gold glow, like pulling a purple rainbow, and accurately leading it into the jade bottle without leaving a drop!

When the warm yet heavy-as-lead-mercury spiritual milk entered the bottle, Yun Chu immediately felt the precious ice-marrow jade bottle suddenly sink.

The crystal marrow spirit milk leaves the nest!

Roar!

The golden-striped scorpion king seemed to be the first to notice the sudden change in the energy at the top, and let out an even more shrill and violent scream that almost tore the soul apart!

It suddenly turned its huge head, and its eight scarlet compound eyes stared at the figure at the top that looked like a fire thief, and a huge murderous intent and aura of destruction rose into the sky!

However, Yun Chu was about to succeed.

Crack...Boom!

Just as she put away the jade bottle and the black ice rune chain that bound the crystal pillar under her feet broke by itself with a loud noise, the green light of Liuyunyi became brighter!

Taking advantage of the huge energy surge and chaotic airflow when the black ice below collapsed, Yun Chu's figure turned into an extremely fast stream of light. Instead of returning along the same path, she shot at a relatively weak crystal wall crack at the edge of the dome at an unreasonable, almost horizontal angle that she had already observed through the fire ants!

"Bang!" With a crisp sound, the seemingly solid crystal wall was tested by her with the Fire Iron Flying Ants in advance and eroded through a small point with several sharp cold air condensed like needles. At this moment, it was forcibly opened by the power of Liu Yunyi.

The green shadow flashed by and disappeared into the dark crack.

Leaving behind were the furious roars of several Scorpion King guards, the roar of heavy hitting crystal pillars, and the core space that was instantly filled with destructive energy shock waves.

The core crystal palace trembled under the violent power of the Scorpion King.

Having already obtained the Crystal Marrow Spirit Milk, Yun Chu felt that there was no need to fight to the death with these scorpions.

Of course, with her wealth and helpers, these scorpions are doomed to die.

But Yun Chu felt that since he had already taken the treasures from these scorpions, there was no need to take their lives.

Let them continue to guard it, there will be more crystal marrow spirit milk in the future. Maybe the younger disciples of the future Immortal Medicine Sect will also be able to seize the opportunity here.

Hiding in the dark crevice of the crystal forest, Yun Chu did not look back to pay attention to the core crystal palace behind him that was shaking violently due to the loss of the treasure.

After obtaining the Crystal Essence Milk, the heavy and refined power of earth and gold faintly pulsated in the jade bottle, and its value far exceeded expectations.

But now is not the time to refine it. After leaving the secret realm, you can use this thing to break through the foundation.

Passing through a rugged rock path formed by the cooling of ancient lava, the original coldness in the air gradually dissipated, replaced by a dry and hot breath.

The ground beneath my feet began to grow warm, with the occasional pungent smell of sulfur wafting by. The crystal clusters were gradually replaced by hard, black or ochre-red volcanic rocks, with faint dark red light visible flowing between the cracks in the rocks.

Obviously, this intricate secret of mineral veins has begun to lead to an area that is completely different from the previous crystal forest - an active underground volcanic lava zone.

The pale blue halo of the Flowing Cloud Robe still enveloped Yun Chu, shielding him from the gradually rising temperature. Yun Chu activated his fire-based skills and advanced rapidly.

"The fire spiritual energy here is so abundant and rich..." She whispered to herself, and her spiritual sense carefully swept across the fork in the road ahead where heat waves were surging.

The information sent by the Fire Iron Flying Ants was even more intense. These natural fire-attributed monsters were well-suited to such an environment, and their perception became increasingly sharp.

Yun Chu did not deliberately drive the flying ants to lead the way. These little guys had already followed the guidance of the pure fire spiritual power and took the initiative to explore deeper.

After turning a few corners where the rock walls were gleaming from the intense heat, the view suddenly opened up! A massive underground lava lake appeared before my eyes!

The bright red viscous magma slowly flowed and rolled in the huge pit, and from time to time huge bubbles would burst with a "pop" sound, splashing out terrifying lava sparks, and illuminating the huge dome hundreds of feet above with an orange-red color.

The heat wave distorted the air, and even the hard ground seemed to tremble in the baking.

The edge of the lava lake is made up of strange black volcanic rock columns and platforms formed by cooling. There is no grass growing on them, only sulfur crystals precipitated at high temperatures, flashing a strange yellow light.

At the edge of this hellish purgatory, near a relatively safe black rock platform, hundreds of fire iron flying ants appeared extremely excited.

Their target was not the lava in the lake, but a huge rock covered in dark gold and deep red lava crystals on the lava wall behind the platform. On top of that rock, several strange plants were growing tenaciously.

The plant's stems resembled calcined copper, twisted and gnarled. Its leaves, as tiny as needles, shone with a golden-red metallic luster. And at the top of the tallest plant, hung a fruit the size of a baby's fist, its entire body translucent and shimmering like a ruby!

The surface of the fruit was covered with a halo that flowed like liquid flames, and rich, extremely pure fire spirit power emanated from it. Its grade was so high that even the violent energy of the lava lake seemed mixed!

It is like an elf in the lava world, absorbing the essence of the earth's fire, and blooming the brilliance of life and power alone in the land of death!

"Earth Core Fire Lotus Fruit?!" Yun Chu's cold eyes suddenly lit up, "I didn't expect that such a yang spiritual object would be born here!"

The fire spirit essence contained in this fruit is a treasure for cultivators who practice fire-based techniques. It can not only greatly improve their cultivation and temper their fire-based spiritual power, but also stabilize their origin. It is extremely valuable!

Such spiritual creatures naturally have powerful guardian beasts.

call!call!

At the edge of the lava lake, not far from the fire lotus fruit, huge lava waves suddenly surged up from the bottom of the lava pool!

Two huge, blurry-shaped monsters, made entirely of hot magma and hard black lava blocks, slowly emerged from the lake!

They lacked distinct heads or limbs, their bodies more like a conglomerate of lava, constantly flowing and solidifying. Only two blazing white flames, resembling eyes, flickered, emitting an aura of extreme danger. Every movement brought with it a shower of lava and fire.

Earth Fire Essence!

This kind of existence is between elemental life and monsters. It is very powerful and relies on magma to become almost immortal!

What's even more terrifying is that their auras are connected, which has triggered some of the power of the lava lake itself. Its power is no less than that of the Golden Scorpion King who was guarding the Crystal Marrow Spirit Milk before!

Facing such a strange and terrifying existence, it is obviously unwise to attack by force.

Once the entire lava lake is stirred into chaos, the spiritual fruit itself may be harmed.
