Chapter 1192 Earth Fire Lotus
Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng stared at the portal of light before them, their eyes filled with rejection!
They were truly traumatized by it.
Who knows whether what awaits us after crossing this gate of light will be a reward or another perilous situation?
Su Mingyi and Langlang, however, were eager to try, their eyes sparkling.
Then, the two stepped out and disappeared into the portal of light.
Got it!
Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng exchanged a helpless glance and had no choice but to step into the portal.
Inside the light gate.
It is the fiery marrow of the earth's veins, flowing in a winding and meandering manner.
This is the deepest part of the active volcano—Red Flame Volcano.
It is the core of the convergence of spiritual veins in the Southern Wilderness—a mysterious underground world.
Su Xiaoya finally understood why the Taotie was "sealed" here.
Ha ha!
Clearly, it's to protect the ley lines of the Southern Wilderness!
Thus, it is only natural that the ancient divine dragon—the fire dragon—would slumber here.
It's also reasonable to have a bunch of high-level demon kings.
Sure enough, every step they took was quite meaningful!
So, she, or they, are pawns of these top figures on Qingyuan Star?
Or perhaps, hope?
But can she and they really break the deadlock?
Isn't this a bit too hasty?
Crucially, the higher one's cultivation level, the more secrets one comes into contact with, and the more deeply one senses that one's opponents are...
Ugh!
I'm so frustrated I could cry!
Su Xiaoya snapped out of her thoughts and silently looked around.
The core of the Funiu Mountains has now transformed into the core of the immortal veins, but Su Xiaoya has never been to see it.
To be precise, this was Su Xiaoya's first time venturing deep underground and witnessing a different kind of scenery.
I guess you could say it broadened my horizons!
All around were nearly solid, dark red crystalline rock walls, flowing with molten gold and fire comparable to the surface temperature of the sun.
Su Xiaoya is from the entire department.
Without even needing to investigate, one could sense the intense fire element.
This place is not only the source of the essence of earth and fire, but also the manifestation of the fire-based laws of heaven and earth.
Space was thus distorted, gravity became abnormal, and it was filled with scorching fire elemental winds.
Occasionally, elemental life forms are born from flames, such as fire spirits and fire essences...
They guard this place, coexisting with the subterranean fire.
This must be the birthplace of the "Earth Core Fire Lotus".
The ancient 'Earth Core Fire Lotus,' which was given as a reward by the ancient dragon—the Fire Dragon—is now swaying and radiating its brilliance!
The 'Earth Core Fire Lotus' is about three feet tall, leafless, and stands out on its own.
It is carved like the finest red jade, yet it contains a flowing radiance within.
The blooming lotus, with its nine petals unfolding layer by layer, is not static, but rather eternally pulsating with the form of liquid flame. The color of the flower gradually changes from the fiery gold at the edges of the petals to a deep lotus blue towards the center, representing the sublimation of flame from extreme heat to the fundamental law.
The lotus seedpod inside the lotus heart is as translucent as jade, containing nine lotus seeds, each resembling a miniature sun, with mysterious golden patterns slowly rotating inside.
The entire fire lotus exudes a primal, scorching pressure, yet also carries a pure vitality that brings peace to the mind.
Legend has it that the "Earth Core Fire Lotus" can only be harvested within a short three-day period when the fire lotus is fully mature, all nine petals are open, and the lotus seedpod hangs low.
If done too early, the effect is minimal; if done too late, it withers away and returns to the earth.
At this moment, all nine petals are open, and the lotus seedpod hangs low.
Yu Shuheng looked at Su Xiaoya and said slowly, "After the 'Earth Core Fire Lotus' matures, in order to harvest it, one must at least have a protective means that can withstand the lava of the earth's core."
Su Xiaoya looked at Yu Shuheng, waiting for him to continue.
Yu Shuheng smiled, his tears filled with confidence that victory was within his grasp.
After all, who can compare to Su Xiaoya, who possesses a system? There's probably no rare treasure in the world that Su Xiaoya can't obtain. "For example, exotic water, a supreme cold-element treasure, or extremely high fire-element cultivation." Uh!
Langlang looked at Yu Shuheng, his eyes filled with uncertainty. Yu Shuheng was a fire-type ability user! Ninth rank! Max level!
So, is he the most suitable picker?
Su Mingyi was also eager to try.
After all, the three siblings all seemed to possess the five elements of chaotic spiritual roots: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
No, that’s not right either!
My little sister seems to have all ten elemental roots: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice, light, and darkness!
I just don't know if there are any dangers in picking the "Earth Core Fire Lotus"?
If it's too dangerous, you should go and pick the fruit for your little sister yourself!
Su Xiaoya didn't care.
It's not that I look down on it, nor am I being pretentious; it's simply that divine objects possess spirits and have their own source and laws.
However, there must be some care to take in preserving such a precious treasure after it has been harvested.
Certainly, it couldn't have been preserved intact by just the jade box.
After thinking for a moment, Su Xiaoya still asked the system, "Are there any requirements for picking the 'Earth Core Fire Lotus'? Or are there any conditions for storing it?"
"Yes, host!" The system was as reliable as ever. Almost as soon as Su Xiaoya finished speaking, it had already provided a solution: "There are specific techniques for harvesting the 'Earth Core Fire Lotus.' You must use tools made of chalcedony or cold heartwood and cut the lotus stem using a specific method."
"Remember, never use any metal magical artifacts to harvest it. Any contact with a metal magical artifact will cause the essence of the Fire Lotus to explode instantly. Its destructive power is enough to kill an Earth Immortal and even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would be in trouble."
"I understand!" Su Xiaoya hadn't expected that picking a 'Earth Core Fire Lotus' would be so troublesome.
I'm truly speechless.
"Furthermore, one must be extremely careful when storing it. Once removed from the soil, the 'Earth Core Fire Lotus' must be immediately stored in a Void Stone or a Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade Box, otherwise its spiritual energy will dissipate rapidly."
Hearing this, Su Xiaoya dared not entrust the task to anyone else. These series of bizarre actions were really demanding!
Aside from himself, perhaps only Yu Shuheng could have done it!
The key issue is that Yu Shuheng doesn't have a system yet.
If you need to adjust the plan at any time, the "logistics" support can't keep up!
After looking around, who else but me!
Su Xiaoya had no choice but to accept her fate and pick the fruit herself.
