Chapter 1644: Refining the Essence of the Blazing Sun
The demon bird has just died. If it is controlled by someone, there will be traces in its body.
As a result, after Ye Chunyang's investigation, he found that there were no marks on the demon bird at all, and it looked as if it had appeared out of thin air.
Ye Chunyang looked surprised.
"How is it? Did Fellow Taoist gain anything? Who ordered them to come?" Lingsu asked.
Ye Chunyang shook his head, "This demon bird has no spiritual memory in its body."
"Aren't they monsters raised by others?" Lingsu was also confused.
Ye Chunyang's eyebrows gathered slightly.
After leaving Lindu City, nothing unusual was found along the way.
Both of these two demon birds are at the third level intermediate level. To be able to control monsters of this level, the other party must have a high level of cultivation. Based on his understanding of the Northern Territory, there should be no such masters.
He hummed softly, raised his hand, and disappeared into thin air.
The mountain forest immediately returned to tranquility, and there was no movement at all.
…
In an unknown place more than 300 miles away, dark clouds gathered, and waves of strange black mist filled the air like a tide, covering half of the sky.
To a mortal, this scene would probably be a precursor to a heavy rainstorm.
However, no one knew that at this time, a figure was floating and looming in the black clouds, and a layer of black air covered his face, making it difficult for people to see his appearance clearly.
He was flying on the clouds, when suddenly his figure froze, and his eyes showed a look of surprise.
"Two demon birds actually died?"
The figure said in surprise.
Then, a cold murderous intention filled the air.
"These two demon birds have reached the third level of intermediate cultivation. They contain the ancient demon spirits that I brought from the spirit world. It is impossible for ordinary monks to kill them easily. It seems that I underestimated that person."
The figure in the black mist had cold eyes, scanning the surroundings, and finally seemed to have determined a certain location, and took steps with a gloomy expression, preparing to fly away in the air.
"Huh?"
At this moment, the black shadow's expression suddenly changed, and a piece of black ancient jade appeared in his hand, showing an expression of half surprise and half surprise.
At this time, the ancient jade was flashing with strange light, as if there were thunder and lightning surrounding it, appearing and disappearing, as if it was showing something.
"There is the aura of people from the spirit world. What's going on? Is it possible that apart from me, there are other spirit world monks in the demon world who have cloned themselves into the lower realm?" The black shadow murmured strangely.
He stopped where he was and stared at the ancient jade carefully. After the light flickered a few times, it quickly dimmed again and finally disappeared.
"This spiritual jade has no great use in the spiritual world, but because of the spiritual energy from the upper world, it can sense the existence of people in the spiritual world. It is so abnormal at the moment. There must be other people in the spiritual world in the demon and god world, but not Do you know if he is a human monk?"
The shadow's eyes were gloomy.
He looked towards the room he had locked for a long time, which was the direction where the two demon birds had fallen. He might be able to find some clues there.
"Hmph! Let me let you live a little longer. After I find out what is going on with the spirit jade induction, I will take care of you!"
The black shadow finally turned around and rode the black mist in another direction.
…
Ye Chunyang didn't see anyone come here after leaving his mark in the mountains and forests for several days.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, it seems that these two monster birds are indeed ownerless. Maybe they lived in seclusion in this mountain forest and were later disturbed by us." Lingsu said.
Ye Chunyang showed up and checked the body of the demon bird for a while. After finding no useful clues, he shook his head expressionlessly and said, "Maybe I'm just worrying too much!"
After that, he took up the divine rainbow and flew towards the distance.
After several days of observation with no results, he was too lazy to continue spending time here.
This time, Ye Chunyang did not deliberately slow down and speeded all the way to the southwest.
That's the direction to the Water Sect.
There are only two large teleportation arrays currently known in the Northern Territory, one is in the Shen family and the other is in the Water Sect.
The former leads to the coast of the South China Sea, and the Shen family was exterminated by Ye Chunyang's magic on Lingshan Island a few years ago, so there is no need to go there.
The water sect's teleportation array connects to Zhongzhou, which is exactly what he needs.
In his early years, Ye Chunyang received news from Xu Feng and others that the Water Sect had a close relationship with the Kunlun Ruins. Gu Qian and Zhang Wuchen came to the Northern Territory twice through the Water Sect to explore the truth. If the teleportation array was available, Ye Chunyang planned to Return to Zhongzhou immediately.
Having determined his target, Ye Chunyang didn't stop and crossed the mountains all the way, arriving at the border of Silver Moon Country within a few days.
"Brother Ye, wait a minute."
On the seventh day, when Ye Chunyang was flying away without any distractions, Lingsu, who was lying on his shoulder, suddenly lit up.
She blinked, looked somewhere, and said, "Seventy miles south!"
Ye Chunyang's mind moved, and without saying a word, he stretched out his Qingyun Wings, tearing apart the clouds like a bolt of lightning, and quickly went in the direction pointed by Lingsu.
With the combination of Qingyun Wing and Shadowless Escape, Ye Chunyang's speed was not as fast as the Sky Crossing in the Cave Heaven Realm.
"This is it!"
Not long after, Lingsu pointed to a mountain range in front and said.
Ye Chunyang looked up and saw that the mountain range was not that big, but it was surrounded by several peaks. The middle was like a pit filled with sky, surrounded by lush greenery, shaded by vegetation, and the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth emanating from it.
But after taking a look, Ye Chunyang became a little surprised.
Although the mountain is full of spiritual energy, the sinkhole in the middle is bare and barren of grass. The surrounding stone walls also look extremely withered and yellow, and there is a smell of death.
"Based on the breath I sensed, there should be some unusual spiritual objects in this tiankeng. Daoist friend, take me over to have a look." Ling Su chuckled, looking extremely greedy.
Ye Chunyang did not hesitate. In the flash of green light, he was already above the tiankeng, then dived down and headed straight down.
His divine sense was unmatched by many people in the world, but in terms of searching for natural treasures, Ling Su was indeed gifted, so when he said that there was the breath of spiritual objects here, Ye Chunyang had no doubt.
The bottom of the tiankeng was an empty plain, but when Ye Chunyang approached, he saw dots of red light shining, and then a hot breath spread over the surface. When he landed on the plain, he suddenly found that this place was a magma pool, with hot steam steaming inside, and strong fire attribute spiritual energy permeated the sky and gathered into clouds.
Seeing this scene, Ye Chunyang couldn't help but be surprised.
Before, when he was outside the mountain range, he didn't feel such a strong fire attribute here, but now he looked at the mountain, which was clearly a dead volcano.
"Look, Fellow Daoist Ye!"
When Ye Chunyang was surprised, Ling Su pointed to the front, and saw a spiritual grass growing at the other end of the magma pool. It looked like bamboo and was as black as ink. Under the scorching fire of the magma pool, it did not wither at all, but instead exuded a stream of cool air.
"Black Flame Bamboo!"
"This is a good spiritual material. It complements the Guanghan grass we got before. After it is refined into a pill, it will be very helpful for forming a pill."
Ye Chunyang showed joy.
He spread his wings and flew over the magma pool, then condensed a sword light in his hand and gently cut towards the root of the black flame bamboo.
This sword light was as thin as a piece of paper, formed by the gathering of spiritual power. After taking down the black flame bamboo, it did not hurt itself.
All spiritual materials of heaven and earth have spirituality, and there is always a way to save them. Ye Chunyang always keeps the roots of spiritual objects when he takes them, which can be regarded as leaving a merit.
After taking the black flame bamboo, Ye Chunyang carefully looked at it for a moment and nodded with satisfaction.
Ling Su couldn't help licking her lips, like a greedy cat, looking at the black flame bamboo in Ye Chunyang's hand eagerly.
Her true body is a medicine spirit, destined to rely on eating heavenly materials and treasures to maintain her true essence, and she has no resistance to these spiritual objects that gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to grow.
Ye Chunyang smiled, took a section of black flame bamboo and threw it to her.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"
Ling Su was stunned at first, but was overjoyed after taking the black flame bamboo. She held it in her hand and bit it with a crunching sound, looking like she was enjoying it.
Ye Chunyang shook his head with a smile.
He was not a selfish person. Ling Su found many heavenly materials and treasures for him, so he would naturally not be mean to her.
After putting the black flame bamboo away, Ye Chunyang returned to his original place.
"By the way, fellow Daoist Ye, aren't you planning to find a place to refine treasures and integrate the essence of the scorching sun into your eighty-one flying swords? I think this place is just right." Ling Su stuffed the black flame bamboo into her mouth and said vaguely.
Along the way, she had heard Ye Chunyang mention the essence of the scorching sun, so Ling Su also knew that Ye Chunyang was planning to upgrade his flying swords.
"That's right, this place has a strong fire attribute aura, and it is indeed an excellent place to refine treasures." Ye Chunyang nodded.
Of course, he wanted to return to Zhongzhou as soon as possible, but now that he happened to encounter such a treasure land, it would be best to integrate the essence of the scorching sun into the Great Thousand Sword Formation first.
And this place not only has several times more fire attribute aura than usual, but also the surrounding aura of various systems is very abundant, and the conditions are just right.
"Why didn't I find such a treasure land in the Silver Moon Country before?" Ye Chunyang touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
When he was in the Northern Region, he had also searched for many spiritual mountain mineral veins, but he had never found this place, so he was a little curious.
However, after the Lingxian Mansion Alchemy Conference, Ye Chunyang was invited by Qingmu to go to Cangyuan Sect, and he had not been able to travel all over the territory of Yinyue Country.
He then sat down cross-legged by the magma pool. Lingsu, who had eaten and drunk enough, patted his stomach with satisfaction and went back to the spirit beast bag to sleep.
Ye Chunyang's mind rolled in the space jade gourd, and a black iron block flew out and hovered above the magma pool.
This thing was the scorching sun essence that Chen Shuo sent that day.
On the outside, it looked like a piece of iron lump, with an unremarkable appearance. As soon as it came into contact with the fire spirit in the magma pool, it immediately burst into wisps of brilliance, which was extraordinary and magical.
Ye Chunyang waved his hand without hesitation, and the fire in his palm was swirling. The Nine Li True Fire turned into a raging flame and wrapped around the scorching sun essence.
What he needs to do now is to remove all the impurities on the surface of the Fiery Sun Essence. It is certainly possible to refine it with the Nine-Separation True Fire alone, but with the blessing of the fire attribute spiritual energy here, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Once the Fiery Sun Essence is refined and pure, Ye Chunyang can use the sword formation to separate the Fiery Sun Essence and merge it with the flying swords.
Speaking of which, Ye Chunyang is also looking forward to it. When all eighty-one flying swords are integrated into this thing, what kind of power will it have?
