Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 184 - 124: Flame Wood Twin, Qi Refining Perfection
After walking a few more miles in the direction guided by Ling Xiaobai, Chu Ning arrived at the foot of a mountain.
Feeling it carefully for a moment, Chu Ning somewhat curiously asked Ling Xiaobai:
"Xiaobai, the Spiritual Qi here is indeed denser, but not significantly so?"
"Underground!"
After Ling Xiaobai’s telepathy, it directly jumped out from Chu Ning’s sleeve.
Then it led the way on the ground, guiding Chu Ning forward.
Chu Ning followed, first climbing halfway up the mountain to the other side, and then turning towards a path that wasn’t very steep, beginning to walk downwards.
They entered a hidden valley blocked by the mountain.
Once inside the valley, Chu Ning immediately felt a density of Spiritual Qi completely different from outside.
"So, there’s another world between these mountains."
Raising his head, Chu Ning saw that the place was surrounded by high peaks.
Ordinarily, if one could fly, they might have discovered this place from above.
But now, since everyone is only walking, no one would deliberately go to the mountain tops to inspect such a spot.
"Buu!"
At this moment, Ling Xiaobai urged.
Chu Ning continued walking with the little creature, eventually entering the belly of another peak.
After walking a short distance, Chu Ning noticed that the surrounding temperature was noticeably rising.
The further they went, the hotter it became.
Fortunately, the heat was still bearable. Chu Ning circulated the Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique once, and immediately felt refreshed.
At this point, both the person and the beast finally reached a cave.
Black sand, green trees, red fruits — these three colors intertwined before Chu Ning’s eyes.
In this small cave, there was a large area of Spirit Plants, numbering dozens.
Some of these Spirit Plants resembled cacti from Chu Ning’s memory, but they were taller than a person, growing on a patch of black sand.
Each plant bore five or six Spiritual Beads.
The Spirit Fruits were entirely crimson, about the size of goose eggs.
"Is this... Flame Wood Twin Fruit?"
Looking at these Spirit Fruits, Chu Ning was a bit unsure.
He vaguely remembered seeing this type of Spirit Fruit on a Jade Scroll before, but the scroll mentioned that it was almost extinct in nearby Cultivation Mountain Ranges.
So Chu Ning hadn’t paid complete attention back then, and now he wasn’t certain.
Chu Ning walked forward slowly, inspecting carefully.
"It truly is the Flame Wood Twin Fruit!"
Chu Ning murmured softly, with a hint of amazement in his tone.
Legend says that the Flame Wood Twin Fruit can only grow in places with very dense Wood Attribute and Fire Attribute Spiritual Qi.
It contains very pure Wood Attribute and Flame Attribute Spiritual Qi.
What’s even more remarkable is that the two attributes of Spiritual Qi are extremely balanced.
Whether consumed directly or used for Alchemy, they are excellent materials.
However, ordinary cultivators, if not practicing a Wood and Fire Dual Attribute Cultivation Method, cannot consume it.
If one cannot absorb the Dual-Attribute Spiritual Qi simultaneously, the other attribute’s dense Spiritual Qi would interfere, easily causing Magical Power to go out of control.
Nevertheless, this type of Spirit Medicine is a treasure for cultivators with Wood and Fire Dual Spirit Roots.
Wood generates Fire, and these two attributes are inherently interrelated, so disciples with Wood and Fire Dual Spirit Roots often practice such cultivation techniques.
If one can consume this Spirit Fruit, or Pills refined from such Spirit Fruits, their cultivation will advance significantly.
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Chu Ning took out a Jade Box.
Although this Spirit Fruit was useless for him, as he only practiced Wood Attribute Cultivation Technique, having entered the Treasure Mountain, he couldn’t leave empty-handed.
Chu Ning picked all thirty-some Flame Wood Twin Fruits and then turned his gaze to the seedlings beside the Flame Wood Twin Fruit Trees.
These seedlings, perhaps grown from fallen Spirit Fruits, numbered thirty or forty.
"Although the Flame Wood Twin Fruit demands high conditions for absorbing dual attributes of Wood and Fire Spiritual Qi, there might still be suitable places outside.
Taking them out, even if they can’t be planted, should have considerable value."
With this in mind, Chu Ning squatted down, intending to dig up the seedlings. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
But as he crouched, his expression suddenly changed.
In the next moment, Chu Ning straightened up, and using the Thunder Shock Step, swiftly dodged to the side.
Almost simultaneously, two dark pincers emerged from the black sand, snapping at where Chu Ning had just stood.
Then, a crab demon beast, primarily scarlet but with a colorful belly, emerged from the black sand.
It leapt forward, attacking Chu Ning.
"Red Fire Double-headed Scorpion?"
Instinctively holding his breath, Chu Ning quickly retrieved the Intermediate Magical Artifact, Cyan Light Bead, from his Storage Bag.
The next moment, one head of the Red Fire Double-headed Scorpion spat out a scarlet mist.
However, as the mist approached Chu Ning, it was immediately blocked by an invisible barrier.
At the same time, Chu Ning, using the Thunder Shock Step to dodge once again, swiftly pulled several Clear Wind Talismans and Beast Trapping Talismans from his Storage Bag.
Upon activating the Clear Wind Talisman, the scarlet mist dissipated.
Meanwhile, Chu Ning activated another Beast Trapping Talisman.
A white Spiritual Power tether fell on the Red Fire Double-headed Scorpion.
But in just a moment, the fire scorpion broke free.
At the same time, the scorpion’s body swelled, growing to the size of a calf.
