The closer Lu Chen got to the spirit liquid pool, the more concentrated the spiritual energy became. When he reached the edge of the pool, he saw that it was constantly bubbling.
Just like boiling water.
These bubbles burst open, releasing a rich, misty aura of spiritual energy.
At this moment, Lu Chen's pores were wide open, as if he were a bottomless pit, and he began to frantically absorb spiritual energy.
The same applies to the Lion King of Qingyan.
The enormous crimson python was slightly displeased, but after glancing at Lu Chen without saying anything, it obediently stayed to the side and remained silent.
After all, the owner didn't say anything, so it was even less likely that the pet could say anything.
"That's far from enough!"
Lu Chen leaped directly into the spirit pool. The three-zhang square pool splashed water, and then all the spiritual liquid, as if finding an outlet, rushed madly towards Lu Chen's body.
It actually formed a vortex.
The Azure Rock Lion King absorbed the energy for only a short while before collapsing to the ground, its entire body radiating a ferocious aura as it began to expand and change.
Its entire body of blue skin was as hard as rock, but at this moment it was all cracking bit by bit, and its body was constantly changing, as if there was an invisible protective shield around it.
Although Lu Chen was frantically absorbing the energy in the spiritual liquid, he also noticed the changes that had occurred in the Azure Rock Lion King.
"Oh? It broke through?"
The Azure Rock Lion King had already reached the fourth level limit, and now it had absorbed a large amount of spiritual liquid, so it was normal for it to break through.
Lu Chen had never seen it before and looked at it with great interest.
The Azure Rock Lion King's size increased dramatically, its muscles looked terrifying, and its green skin turned snow-white, making it appear even more majestic, yet with a touch of elegance.
"Not bad!"
Lu Chen found it fascinating.
The Azure Rock Lion King broke through quickly, and after finishing, it was extremely excited. It spun around a few times, very confident in its current strength. Now, it was no longer powerless against the Crimson Flame Python.
It would be a shame to miss this opportunity.
The Azure Rock Lion King continued to frantically absorb the spiritual liquid energy.
Lu Chen was in the same boat; the spirit pool was being consumed at a visible rate.
The Crimson Serpent felt a pang of heartache; this was the wealth it had accumulated over countless years, and now it feared it would be completely drained.
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light emanated from Lu Chen's entire body, and a golden dragon spiraled up from his body, illuminating the entire underground cave. The golden dragon-shaped phantom disappeared above his head.
Lu Chen was unfazed, but the Azure Rock Lion King and the Crimson Flame Python were both stunned.
In particular, the Crimson Python sensed the aura of a divine beast on Lu Chen from the very beginning, but after becoming Lu Chen's pet, it discovered that he was not.
But now, seeing the golden dragon shadow that suddenly appeared out of nowhere on Lu Chen's body, he felt a few more doubts.
"That feels so good!"
Lu Chen smiled.
This is just the beginning.
Although Lu Chen's cultivation method was different from others, he could sense that he had been able to barely deal with the Crimson Python, a level-five demonic beast, before.
Now, we can say we are full of confidence.
"A level five demonic beast is equivalent to a Heavenly Realm cultivator. My current strength should be slightly stronger than a Heavenly Realm cultivator, and I'm probably not much weaker than Jian Xue! Continue!"
They cultivated in the Crimson Serpent's Cave for three whole days.
Lu Chen found it boring to continue cultivating, and during this period, his strength experienced a breakthrough.
The spiritual liquid in the spiritual pool had been completely absorbed by Lu Chen.
"Huh? This spirit pool is quite magical; bubbles are still constantly rising from it. Could there still be treasures underground?"
Lu Chen scanned the area with his spiritual sense and discovered that the underground spiritual pool actually led to a deeper part of the earth.
Moreover, some spiritual liquid also flowed out of this spiritual pool along the underground cracks and into the pool where the Crimson Blood Water Python was encountered before. Further down, it led to the mysterious depths of the underground.
"Shall we go take a look?"
With a thought, Lu Chen immediately manipulated the top-grade spirit sword to clear a path ahead, constantly rotating and twisting, leading all the way down into the depths of the underground, proceeding downwards along the direction from which the spiritual liquid gushed out.
This time, Lu Chen acted alone.
The Azure Rock Lion King and the Crimson Flame Python continued to guard the cave.
Lu Chen continued downwards, breaking through the entire underground passage, and then suddenly changed direction, starting to move upwards.
After digging for an unknown amount of time in the darkness, Lu Chen's top-grade spirit sword was suddenly blocked.
"Huh?"
Lu Chen was astonished. These were just rocks, yet a top-grade spiritual sword could cut them like tofu.
Unexpectedly, there was something so hard that it could not be penetrated.
Lu Chen immediately stepped forward and saw that the tip of the top-grade spirit sword was stuck in a huge jade slab. However, the jade slab seemed to have an invisible restriction that resisted all attacks.
"Huh? This is an array or restriction!"
Lu Chen was startled.
However, he finally felt relieved. He thought he wouldn't be able to find anything, but unexpectedly, there was such a mysterious place deep in the Crimson Flame Mountain.
It seems that this is the source of the spiritual liquid.
Lu Chen examined it carefully; the jade slab was quite large.
Moreover, this jade slab seems to be only a part of it; the rest is still buried in the soil.
Lu Chen manipulated the top-grade spiritual weapon, frantically cutting and clearing away part of the area around the jade slab, finally revealing the entire wall.
