Chapter 39 Chasing the Wind, Gold, and Fire
As soon as she entered the Guizang Forbidden Land, an irresistible force pushed Luo Xuanyi straight into the depths of black and white. Countless stars flickered in the sky and on the earth, growing and shrinking as the black and white shone, but not a single one could be seen clearly. Luo Xuanyi tried to focus, but was surprised to find that these stars were completely devoid of spiritual energy and spheres, even with her eyesight, she could not see through them.
The Guizang Forbidden Land seemed like a boundless abyss. Luo Xuanyi could only continue to slide deeper and deeper. From time to time, thick black or pure white mist drifted past her, and it seemed as if a gaze was projected through the mist, but it quickly disappeared. The Zang Yao Sect had been established for thousands of years, and its deep roots were evident everywhere. After an unknown amount of time, Luo Xuanyi finally felt her body return to her control and stopped.
Thick black fog rose up, transforming into a vague human figure sitting cross-legged on the clouds, overlooking Luo Xuanyi. Perhaps he was the one guarding the forbidden area? Luo Xuanyi tried to greet him, but he didn't react, simply staring at her, as if trying to see through her heart.
The mist extended, and he stretched out his hand. Immediately, a tiny star floated from the distance and landed on his hand, fiercely emitting a strange color that imprinted itself on Luo Xuanyi's eye mask! Luo Xuanyi's first reaction was to avoid it, but the light still dominated her vision. She was surprised to find that wherever she looked, flames of various shapes and colors were floating one after another.
Luo Xuanyi tried to approach the nearest Dan Fire. The flames flared wildly, golden sparks erupting momentarily, yet she felt no fluctuations in spiritual energy, nor the slightest warmth. She boldly reached out her hand, but only penetrated nothingness. When she withdrew her hand, information about this Dan Fire suddenly surfaced in her mind.
"Throwing Spiritual Golden Fire, a fourth-grade elixir fire, a spiritual fire born from the ancient elixir furnace..."
Having roughly understood that this was a choice for her, Luo Xuanyi quickly looked at all the Dan Fires and slowly began to think.
There are several ways that elixir fire is born, each of which essentially determines its maximum quality. The lowest-grade soul fire is formed from the souls of the deceased. Due to its heavy resentment, it can only be used to refine witchcraft pills and strange elixirs, and is at most third-grade. Better spirit fire is born in various secret realms, nurtured by magical tools and materials with abundant spiritual energy for decades or even centuries. This is the most common elixir fire, often imbued with the power of the five elements, and the highest quality can reach sixth-grade. The highest is the self-generated celestial fire of heaven and earth, which possesses spiritual intelligence and some even self-cultivation. This type of celestial fire is born at seventh-grade, equivalent to the level of a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage. It contains the great Dao of heaven and earth, and possesses immense benefits.
However, Heavenly Fire is hard to find. Only one top-tier Heavenly Fire exists in the classics. Currently, only one eighth-grade Heavenly Fire exists in the world: the Soul-Devouring Glazed Nine-Transformation Fire wielded by Taoist Hua Shen. Those who die under his control accumulate within this fire, enhancing its power. This is the only Heavenly Fire in the world that can be born and strengthened by absorbing souls and resentment. Of the other seven-grade Heavenly Fires, only three have ever appeared, and many have remained hidden.
However, as for spiritual fire, while fifth- and sixth-grade fires were expensive, they were plentiful and plentiful. Given the size of the Zang Yao Sect, it wasn't likely that they were solely devoted to fourth-grade fire. Yet, Luo Xuanyi was confronted with only a handful of fifth-grade fires, and no sixth-grade fires at all. This was clearly Jiao Xing's subtle intentions. If an outer sect cultivator, barely versed in reading, had come in, they wouldn't have noticed the purposeful concealment of the best. But Luo Xuanyi hadn't read so much in vain. She found it amusing, but she hadn't intended to force herself to possess sixth-grade fire. In reality, with her current cultivation level, she could only barely control the weaker fifth-grade fire.
After careful consideration, Luo Xuanyi approached a fourth-grade Dan Fire. This Dan Fire, called the Wind-Chasing Golden Fire, was a spiritual fire born from a magical instrument called the Wind Eye in a secret realm. That instrument, the Wind Eye, spawned countless fierce winds that ravaged the secret realm, and this fire was born to chase the wind. Chasing the wind, chasing the wind. As long as this fire was behind, a fierce wind would naturally arise in front. It could be used to refine the elixir and also as a magical instrument to save her life and escape—exactly what she needed most.
Luo Xuanyi didn't know how to confirm it. She thought for a moment and said to the cloud, "I want to chase the wind, gold, and fire."
The figure in the mist nodded slightly, then clenched his palm, extinguishing the starlight. Luo Xuanyi's eyes vanished of all the dan fire except for the Wind-Chasing Golden Fire. The Wind-Chasing Golden Fire before her instantly expanded, emitting a slightly cooler temperature. A faint breeze blew around her. Luo Xuanyi immediately formed a seal and branded the Wind-Chasing Golden Fire within her.
Yunwu summoned another star, which was a huge red sphere. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was formed by five small spheres emitting red light at the same time. Just when Luo Xuanyi was puzzled, Yunwu suddenly spoke.
"Formation, weapon?"
Luo Xuanyi was stunned for a moment and replied, "Instrument."
One of the stars popped out from the cloud and flew in front of Luo Xuanyi, then asked, "Attack, defend?"
After taking stock of her own skills, Luo Xuanyi still wanted to use her attacking magic weapon: "Attack."
Another star was ejected, colliding with the previous one, emitting a dazzling purple light. When the light faded, Luo Xuanyi saw, as before, a vast array of magical instruments scattered throughout the heavens and earth. Unlike the elixir fire, these instruments, even if only of the fifth rank, were still astonishingly numerous. It seemed as if they had instantly filled the entire world as far as the eye could see.
There was no way she could look at this staggering number of items one by one like before, and she couldn't tell the time here. She had to get back to Ruoyu Peak before dark. Luo Xuanyi could only roughly picture the type she wanted in her mind before searching.
After silently complaining about the many little tricks of Feiyan Pavilion, Luo Xuanyi pondered and finally figured out what kind of magic weapon he needed.
