Immortality begins by swallowing the stars

Chapter 16

In the valley.

Ying Muyu walked lightly to a hidden crack, with a hint of joy on his face.

"It is indeed here!"

Then he took out a porcelain bottle only the size of a thumb from his clothes with a solemn expression. The mouth of the bottle was blocked by a large, rounded ink-colored jade ball.

"Oh, luckily I brought this with me when I escaped." Ying Muyu looked at the porcelain bottle with some pity.

The red-scaled beast is the companion spirit beast of the black fire spiritual root. It will not leave the vicinity of the black fire spiritual root except for looking for food. There are not many ways to lure the red-scaled beast away from the spiritual root on the Kyushu continent.

But Ying Mu Yu had just such a method.

He was originally a direct disciple of Qinwangcheng, the top sect in Kyushu. Qinwangcheng was known as one of the eight sects in Kyushu. The sect had accumulated countless magical secrets and treasures for thousands of years.

There are many ways to conquer monsters.

The porcelain bottle in Ying Muyu's hand contained a treasure specially designed to attract and conquer innate monsters, called Yanglaixiang.

It is extracted from the bone marrow of a demonic beast called the Dragon Whale in the East China Sea.

It has an irresistible attraction to monsters. Feeding three to five drops has a chance of subduing an innate primary monster that is originally resistant.

Ying Muyu only had three drops in his hand.

However, spirit beasts with spiritual roots like the Red Scale Beast are extremely difficult to tame. Even if they haven't taken the Black Fire Spirit Fruit, they can't be tamed by just three drops of Yanglaixiang before they mature.

What's more, this kind of treasure that can easily subdue the innate monster, Ying Muyu is not willing to feed it to a red-scaled beast that has not yet entered the innate world and will not be able to enter the innate state in the future.

Ying Muyu planned to use Yanglaixiang to lure the red-scaled beast out, lead it to other places, and slowly cook it, so that the cheap disciples he trained could take advantage of this opportunity to steal the beast.

"If I hadn't been seriously injured and couldn't recover, why bother?"

Ying Muyu's eyes showed a trace of impatience, and he took away the jade beads without hesitation, and then an indescribable strange smell floated out from the mouth of the porcelain bottle and spread rapidly downward along the cracks.

After a while, a dull roar came from the crack.

"coming!"

Lu Jing, who was lying in the grass above the valley, was shocked. This must be the roar of the red lin beast.

Then there was a loud bang!

A huge creature covered with black scales rushed out of the crack. Its huge body, which was four to five feet long, crushed countless rocks. Its pupils were filled with endless desire, and it rushed towards a man in black holding a small porcelain bottle in his hand.

Ying Muyu laughed and said, "Well done!"

The figure floated back like a willow leaf, swaying from side to side, easily dodging the attacks of the red-scaled beast's huge mouth, claws and terrifying tail that was more than two feet long.

However, Ying Muyu did not dare to take the red-scaled beast's eager attack, each of which had a force of nearly 100,000 kilograms.

But Ying Mu Yu's speed was faster than that of the red-scaled beast, and when he found the opportunity, he fled to the rear.

Under normal circumstances, the red-scaled beast would definitely stop and return to its lair to continue guarding the black fire root and not pursue the enemy.

But at this moment, this huge ferocious beast seemed to have lost its mind, and even its true nature was temporarily suppressed. Without any hesitation, it chased after Ying Muyu.

Lu Jing and others above the valley watched helplessly as the red-scaled beast disappeared from sight, but no one made any move.

It wasn't until half a stick of incense had passed that Liang Hong stood up first.

"The Chilin Beast should have gone far away. Master's instructions cannot be ignored. Let's go down." Liang Hong's voice was still trembling slightly.

Even though he had been mentally prepared for it, he had seen with his own eyes the power of the terrifying beast that shattered rocks and shattered the ground. How could he not be afraid of entering the lair of such a giant beast and snatching its food from the tiger's mouth?

Lu Jing didn't feel any fear at all, only full of excitement.

Without saying a word, he grabbed the tree vine and descended into the valley.

Seeing this, Liang Hong stared at Lu Jing's back with evil eyes. The master only wanted the Black Fire Spirit Fruit and the Black Fire Spirit Root would be given to his direct disciples. He was the son of the village elder and had always been prestigious among the disciples. He had long been The Black Fire Spiritual Root has been regarded as private.

Looking at all the fellow disciples, only Liang Ah Qi has always been unruly and has a very fast cultivation speed, which is almost comparable to him.

He was lucky enough to survive last time, but he didn't believe he could escape this time!

Lu Jing and others soon arrived at the large crack in the valley.

From the deep cracks, traces of water mist floated out, indicating that there was a heat source underground.

Everyone has practiced internal strength secrets. Although their strength is mediocre, they are not ordinary people. They followed the deep passage and came to a wide cave.

Underneath the cave is a hot magma flow, with a raised island in the center of the lava flow.

"Black Fire Spirit Fruit!" someone shouted in shock.

A translucent black fruit grew on the black basalt of the island. It was the black fire spirit fruit that Ying Muyu had described to them, and the black fire spirit roots were rooted in the rock.

Is there lava here too?

Lu Jing remembered that the black fire spiritual root in "Jiuding Ji" grew in the magma in the Flame Mountain.

Did the black fire spiritual root attract the fire aura and evolve into a magma pool, or was it because the magma gushes out from deep underground, giving birth to the black fire spiritual root?

Lu Jing had no intention of getting to the bottom of it. Only then did he feel relieved and completely relieved.

Without any further hesitation, he activated the mysterious door in his mind, and then a huge amount of pure vitality poured out from behind the door and poured into his body.

That is the power that comes from the body.

He did not use the inner energy secret book given to him by the man in black to convert the pure vitality into inner energy, nor did he penetrate the meridians of the whole body as he had planned when he had just traveled through.

Instead, let the vitality flow into the physical body, every muscle, every bone, and every cell.

Directly improve body strength!

Once the internal energy is exhausted, the strength will be greatly reduced, and the physical body's own power will be more durable.

<divclass="contentadv"> Lu Jing deliberately fell behind the team. In addition, it did not increase his inner strength, nor did he need to draw in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It only happened inside the body, so this huge change in the body did not alarm anyone.

"Not enough! It's still not enough!" Lu Jing shook his head slightly as he realized his sharply improved physical fitness. With a fierce move, more vitality poured in from behind the door.

In just the blink of an eye, Lu Jing's physical body was lifted to an incredible level by the pure vitality.

Lu Jing clenched his fists and made a rough estimate: "It should have the strength of almost ten thousand catties, mainly because it took some of the body's strength to heal the injuries of this body before."

This time it almost drained the power of the main body.

The main body in the world of Devouring Starry Sky should be almost only skin and bones at this moment.

But Lu Jing didn't care. Seeing that the Black Fire Spiritual Root was close at hand, this time's time travel was considered to have completed the mission. He didn't need to stay in the world of Jiudingji for much longer. Even if his body couldn't support it for a long time, it wouldn't hinder him. .

A body of ten thousand kilograms of strength!

No one could have imagined that in just a short period of time, a mountain man who could only be considered a third-rate warrior after just developing his inner strength would become a first-rate warrior who could compete with the peak acquired the day after tomorrow!

"If the Black Fire Spirit Fruit is mature, it will rot if not picked in time. It must be placed in a jade box to ensure that it does not rot."

Liang Hong looked at the spiritual fruit on the small island in the center of the magma pool in the distance. His voice seemed to be hoarse due to excitement: "Someone must go over to see if it is mature. If it is not mature, we will deal with the red-scaled fruit before Master." Guard here until the beast comes back, and if it matures, you must put the spiritual fruit into the jade box immediately."

"Who wants to go take a look at the island?" Liang Hong's voice became gloomy, a smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes fell across the crowd on Lu Jing, who was walking towards the end.

Lu Jing retracted his greedy gaze at the Black Fire Spirit Fruit, glanced at the brothers in front, and said calmly: "Master has long described the appearance of the Black Fire Spirit Fruit when it matures. The fruit will change from black to red. There will also be red flames burning, which is enough to distinguish clearly here."

Liang Hong smiled doubtfully: "Really? Why don't I remember Master said that the mature Black Fire Spirit Fruit is red and will ignite red flames?"

"Do you remember?" Liang Hong glanced at everyone.

"do not remember."

"How could Master ever say such a thing?"

"Third senior brother has a better memory than me. Third senior brother has never heard of it, which means the master must have never said this. Liang, Ah Qi, how dare you slander the master!"

Others echoed Liang Hong one after another, or looked puzzled, or looked at Lu Jing with a cruel look on their faces, as if Liang Hong was going to step forward to teach this lying boy a lesson.

Lu Jing looked at the island in the center of the magma pool, which was nearly five or six feet away from the surrounding land.

For those of them who have cultivated their inner strength, it is not a problem to use their inner strength, set up their posture, and jump over this distance.

But if the person is in the air, even if someone throws a stone, the person can easily fall into the magma pool, leaving no bones behind.

Lu Jing knew what Liang Hong's purpose was with just a moment's thought.

Liang Hong was originally the son of the village elder and had always had great prestige. Seeing that they were determined to kill him, the other brothers and sisters also chose to help him. Maybe they had even discussed it in private, and they immediately attacked when they saw the opportunity.

"Everyone agrees to let you, junior brother, go check it out. It just so happens that you are the most suitable candidate regardless of your Qinggong skills. This is a major matter for Master. Anyone who dares to be negligent will not be let off by me, Liang Hong and all the other senior brothers. he!"

Liang Hong could hardly hide his pride. Although he was confident that his master would choose him as his true disciple, he would not let it go even if there was a slight possibility of missing out. This Liang Ah Qi was the only one who could cultivate inner strength. Those who threaten him must be removed.

And it just happened to drag the other brothers into the water. Even if the master comes back, no one will dare to betray him.

Lu Jing chuckled: "There are so many stupid people in the world!"

Lu Jing didn't feel hateful when he saw someone who couldn't see the doomed situation and still harbored illusions, or even calculated all the traps for it. He even felt that the person in front of him was a little pathetic.

"Master? When your master completes his great work, it will be your death. If I were you, I would run away now. Oh, I forgot, the poison on your body has not been cured yet."

"How dare you insult Master?!" Liang Hong's expression changed and he sneered again and again.

"There is no need for Third Senior Brother to take action. Let me clear the door for Master!"

A man with a scar on his face smiled ferociously, and before he finished speaking, he suddenly took action, as if he wanted to kick Lu Jing into the lava pool.

"Easy words can't persuade the damn ghost..." Lu Jing faced the kick and flicked his finger.

A shrill scream sounded.

The scarred man fell to the ground, clutching his twisted and fractured right leg and kept screaming.

"you--"

Lu Jing tiptoed, and the scarred man flew into the magma pool, and the screams stopped abruptly.

chi chi~~

The entire body was completely melted in the fire.

The tragic scene makes people feel cold all over.

The incident happened in a flash of lightning, and the others looked at Lu Jing as if he was a ferocious beast that loves people.

"How dare you kill..." Liang Hong was horrified and speechless: "No, how could you be so strong?"

Lu Jing glanced at the unripe Black Fire Spirit Fruit in the center of the island, and a trace of compassion appeared on his face: "You have been planted with the Heavenly Marrow Poison long ago. Your life and death are in the hands of the Master. You will die sooner or later. Why don't I do it now?" It is better to give you a ride than to have master and disciple fight against each other in the future..."

"Come together! Kill him!" Liang Hong roared loudly.

Lu Jing didn't move his body. He just reached out and grabbed the heads of the people who came up to him out of the hole. Then he lifted up his toes and cleared them one by one into the magma pool.

"Don't come here! Please...please let me go..." Liang Hong, who was hiding at the back, begged, turned around and jumped, crossing a distance of more than six feet and flying into the central island where the spiritual root was.

Lu Jing kicked his toes, and a stone hit Liang Hong's body in mid-air, causing him to scream and fall into the lava.

Then he stepped lightly, crossed the magma pool, and landed next to the Black Fire Spirit Fruit.

Lu Jing immediately sat cross-legged, his mind spinning.

"Once the unripe Black Fire Spirit Fruit is picked, it will turn into pus and have no effect. It would be best if this Black Fire Spirit Fruit can mature before my cheap master comes back. If it cannot mature, the only option is to swallow the Black Fire Spirit Fruit. Rooted."
