Chapter 57: Flaming Lion
Take out all the herbs needed for the ‘Hanbing Pill’. ‘Niujin Grass’ and ‘Ice Crystal Flower’ are what Wu Zheng has spent countless efforts to obtain. He knows the ups and downs of it!
Put away your emotions and extract the herbs. Wu Zheng is very familiar with this step, just like eating and drinking. There are 4416 kinds of herbs for the ‘Hanbing Pill’. Wu Zheng finished refining the herbs in half a day.
He took a deep breath, and his spiritual sense surrounded the whole Hun Tian Ding. While separating part of his spiritual sense to control the speed of the earth fire, he put the essence of the herbs into the pill furnace.
Fortunately, Wu Zheng has practiced this procedure countless times in his mind, and there is no mistake. After half a day, the pill is about to take shape. A scent of medicine fills the whole cave, with a hint of coldness. Even on the hot fire, it can’t cover up that hint of coldness.
Wu Zheng patted the body of the Hun Tian Ding, and seven round, jade-like, longan-sized pills appeared in the jade bottle that Wu Zheng had prepared long ago.
‘Han Bing Dan’, a second-level top-level pill, seven pills were made, each of which was of top-grade quality. Wu Zheng’s alchemy finally reached the peak of the second level.
Starting from scratch, without the guidance of a famous teacher, without resources, everything is the result of Wu Zheng’s hard work step by step. It is really not easy to get to where he is today.
After putting away the pills, Wu Zheng could no longer stand, and sat on the ground, gasping for breath. His cultivation was still there, and his spiritual consciousness was still sufficient, but he was just tired!
The moment his wish was fulfilled, the whole person was relaxed, and the hard work during this period was not in vain.
Wu Zheng's consciousness also increased rapidly at the moment when Wu Zheng completely relaxed. The consciousness, which was originally equivalent to the great perfection of the Golden Core Stage, changed again. The consciousness did not grow at all, but was several times more condensed than before. If it was a stream before, it is now a river, wide and thick.
The two-year alchemy is finally over!
Wu Zheng slept for three days in a daze. Xiaohua and other spirit beasts had already returned. Xiaohua also steadily broke through the early stage of the fourth stage and is now at the level of the middle stage of the fourth stage. Except for the eighth one who is in the late stage of the third stage, the other nine golden pythons are at the peak of the middle stage of the third stage.
The strength of this one person and ten beasts is comparable to a small sect like Qingyang Sect, and is not much inferior to the Optimist Sect.
One person and ten beasts rested here for several days. The specific location of the "Purple Sun True Flame" had long been discovered by Xiaohua. A few days later, Wu Zheng and his party appeared in the belly of a volcano.
A "Flame Lion" in the middle stage of the fourth stage stopped Wu Zheng and his party.
"Prince Qilin, what are you doing here in my territory?" The fourth-level 'Flame Lion' is already a transformed monster, now transformed into a giant over two meters tall, holding a sword in his hand, which is obviously a good magic weapon.
"My eldest brother needs the 'Purple Sun True Flame' here, please help me, Lion King." Xiaohua said carefully, after all, this is the territory of the 'Flame Lion'. Although it also has fire-related magical powers, it is ultimately no match for the 'Flame Lion's' specialization.
The 'Flame Lion' pointed at Wu Zheng: "Hahahaha, it's really ridiculous, your eldest brother, a cultivator in the foundation-building period?"
"Humph, what do you mean by this?" Xiaohua was furious when he saw the 'Flame Lion' looking down on Wu Zheng.
The 'Flame Lion' waved his sword: "Hmph, it's meaningless. I want to fight with the 'Purple Sun True Flame' first."
The 'Flame Lion' originally planned to absorb it when he broke through the fourth level in the future. When he heard that someone wanted to snatch it from him, he was immediately furious and thought: "You are kidding. You want to subdue the 'Purple Sun True Flame' at the Foundation Establishment stage. You really don't know how to live or die. The Lion has guarded here for countless years and didn't get it. I will give it to you."
Xiaohua transmitted a voice: "Boss, it seems that we have to deal with the 'Flame Lion' first."
Wu Zheng nodded, and the silver spear appeared in his hand. Nine golden pythons were like facing a great enemy, scattered on Wu Zheng's left and right, and were alert.
Xiaohua suddenly jumped forward, his body was still in the air, and his body swelled in the wind, and he had already appeared above the 'Flame Lion'. The 'Flame Lion' was ready. Seeing Xiaohua attacking, he was not panicked. He raised his sword, holding the sword in his right hand and supporting the back of the sword with his left hand.
It had no idea that Xiaohua was so powerful. It retreated with a bang, roared, and swung its sword back, with a blade of light hitting Xiaohua.
Xiaohua's body was still in the air, and with a twist, it barely avoided the blade of light. The moment it landed, its front paws rose up, and a claw shadow with a sharp edge hit the 'Flame Lion'.
Wu Zheng pinched the sword formula with his hands, and two finger swords whizzed away, knocking out two sparks on the body of the 'Flame Lion', but it didn't even break the 'Flame Lion's' defense. This was when the 'Flame Lion' hadn't transformed. It can be imagined how strong the defense of the fourth-level monster is.
Nine golden pythons revealed their true forms one after another, and nine bodies several feet long crawled on the ground. The huge snake mouths spewed out various colors of light, hitting the 'Flame Lion' directly.
When they are around Wu Zheng, their magical powers will be greatly enhanced. The eldest's ice blade, the second's golden light, the third's green airflow, the fourth's black airflow, the fifth's lightning arc, the sixth's water arrow, the seventh's wind blade, the eighth's fire snake, and the ninth's earth spikes, whistling and attacking the 'flame lion'.
The 'flame lion' is really amazing, with a sword that is impenetrable and water cannot get in, blocking all attacks from its body, but after all, it is a long-range attack, the impact is not small, even the 'flame lion' retreats again and again.
With a roar to the sky, the sword disappeared, and a huge lion that was no less powerful than Xiaohua appeared beside Xiaohua, opened its mouth and bit Xiaohua. Xiaohua screamed and turned to pounce on the lion.
Wu Zheng couldn't intervene in the fourth-level battle at all. The attacks of the nine golden pythons were completely ineffective. Xiaohua could only fight with it.
The two beasts moved around, but fortunately the cave was big enough for them to use their skills.
In a short time, Xiaohua had gained an absolute advantage. After all, it had the blood of an ancient sacred beast, and it had a fire attribute spiritual root in its body. Moreover, he had been training near the volcano during this period of time, and gradually took the initiative.
Although the attitude of the 'Flame Lion' was relatively tough, the one he was fighting was an ancient sacred beast after all. He could not ignore the pressure from the blood, not to mention that Xiaohua was at the same level as him.
He became more and more frightened as the battle went on. Xiaohua's body movements were elusive. Often when he thought he was attacking here, Xiaohua would attack there. It was really hard to defend against.
Xiaohua turned and left the battlefield. Not far from the 'Flame Lion', he opened his mouth and a light blade with amazing breath came out of his mouth and headed straight for the 'Flame Lion'.
The 'Flame Lion' knew that success or failure depended on this move, and he also opened his mouth wide, and a flame knife came out of his mouth. The two lights met in the air. Xiaohua's light was fused with several attributes, which was obviously stronger than the 'Flame Lion'.
With a scream, the huge body of the 'Flame Lion' fell to the ground, and a mini lion flew out of the body of the 'Flame Lion' and fled outside as soon as it came out.
I never thought that as soon as I touched Wu Zheng, this cultivator whom he looked down upon, a suction force came out of Wu Zheng's body. No matter how the 'Flame Lion' struggled, he couldn't get rid of it. With a scream, the mini lion disappeared in Wu Zheng's mind, and the Hun Tian Ding trembled violently, obviously digesting the feast just obtained.
Wu Zheng threw the beast pill to Xiaohua, and Xiaohua returned it. It said that the beast pill of the middle stage of the fourth stage had no effect on it at this stage! Let Wu Zheng deal with the beast pill by himself.
Wu Zheng threw the beast pill to Lao Ba, after all, only he could absorb the beast pill of fire attribute.
After collecting the materials from the 'Flame Lion', one person and nine beasts sat down to eat. Lao Ba had already gone into seclusion! He couldn't wait to transform as soon as possible.
After eating and drinking well, Wu Zheng ordered Xiaohua and other spirit beasts to guard here. Wu Zheng did not set up the 'Wind Spirit Formation'. The 'Wind Spirit Formation' can only block the attacks of the foundation-building cultivators. For Wu Zheng now, it seems a bit useless.
Xiaohua and other spirit beasts did not go out for training. They knew the danger of conquering the 'Purple Sun True Flame' this time, and they all stayed in the cave to guard Wu Zheng.
Wu Zheng did not force it, leaving a storage bag with roasted beast meat and several spirit wines. Wu Zheng thought he would come out soon, but he never thought that he would be gone for more than ten years.
