Chapter 116: Shenguang Island 5 Lines Territory 2

Passing through the woods, there is a wasteland with no grass growing.

Sand and gravel were everywhere, covering an area thirty feet wide, like a barrier between trees. Beyond the wasteland lay the fiery red rocky terrain.

Walking out of the woods and onto the wasteland, Shi Chen immediately felt the drastic change in temperature.

In this wasteland, the heat felt by the skin was nearly fifty degrees.

Continuing forward, we entered the red rock area, where the temperature soared to over 100 degrees.

Shi Chen could withstand this temperature thanks to his physical training.

Walking in the red rock, the temperature continued to rise. After walking a few miles, he felt that the temperature outside his body was already two or three hundred degrees.

If it were a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, he would probably have had to retreat and leave long ago. After all, such a continuously rising high temperature is really hard to withstand, otherwise he would have been roasted into jerky.

After walking a mile and climbing over a small hill, Shi Chen saw a pool of lava in front of him.

At the foot of the hill, the red rock land and the shiny black magma land are clearly separated, with the boundaries clearly discernible.

Walking down the hillside and standing on the edge of the red rock land, Shi Chen began to observe the situation of the magma land.

There is no smell of sulfur in the air, which indicates that the magma pool is not connected to the underground magma, but should be formed through formations or special means.

At a glance, you can see with the naked eye that the air above the magma pool is distorted, which shows how high the temperature is.

The magma pool is about ten feet in radius, and the red magma inside is bubbling from time to time.

Each lava pool contained a vine, each in a different shape, seemingly climbing through the air. Many vines were covered in blooming flame flowers, and some even bore crimson, egg-sized fruits.

This is the Blazing Blood Vine, and its fruit is the Blazing Fruit.

It was mentioned in the Spiritual Medicine Book that this spiritual fruit was extremely rare, usually only found in underground magma. The Blazing Flame Fruit could be used to refine a kind of elixir - the Fire Spirit Pill.

The book on alchemy describes that if a person with a fire spiritual root takes ten fire spiritual pills, the quality of the fire spiritual root will be improved, and the degree of improvement is related to the quality of the pill.

Eating it directly can also improve the quality of the fire spirit root, but the effect is not as good as refining it into a fire spirit pill. Ten blazing flame fruits are equivalent to the effect of one fire spirit pill.

The temperature of the Blazing Flame Fruit after ingestion is also a major challenge, reaching over a thousand degrees Celsius. Few cultivators can consume it directly. Only those who have cultivated their body-refining skills to the level of compatibility between water and fire can consume it directly.

The temperature above the magma pool is estimated to be over a thousand degrees, and such high temperature is enough to cause harm to Shi Chen.

A fire knife is needed to pick the Blazing Flame Fruit, and it must be sealed with ice magic within ten breaths after picking it, otherwise the medicinal properties of the Blazing Flame Fruit will disappear over time, and at most all the medicinal properties will be lost within a month.

However, the extraction method in the spiritual medicine texts does not explain how to withstand the high temperature above the magma.

For cultivators who can reach the underground magma, their cultivation level is at least above the Nascent Soul stage, so it is no problem for them to withstand temperatures of one or two thousand degrees.

Shi Chen was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, so if he wanted to obtain the Blazing Flame Fruit, he had to find another way.

This place is filled with rich fire-attributed spiritual energy. If you use the spiritual energy to condense a flaming knife, pick the blazing fruit, put it in a jade box and seal it with frost to ensure that the medicinal effect will remain for a hundred years.

If the thousand-year-old black ice is used as a container and a frost seal is attached, it may be able to be preserved for a thousand years.

Never use water-attribute spells in magma to resist the high temperature. The conflict between the two elements will cause a violent explosion, which will not only destroy the Blazing Blood Vine, but also the Blazing Fruit.

For Shi Chen, picking the Blazing Flame Fruit was extremely difficult.

He first tested the temperature of the magma field, and it was over 1,500 degrees, far exceeding what he could bear.

The best way to cool down is water cooling. Standing at the edge of the red rock, a water ball is formed. As soon as the water ball appears, it starts to bubble and steam surrounds it.

Throwing it towards the lava field, with a "boom" sound, the boiling water ball instantly vaporized, and the rising steam caused the fire spirit to explode instantly, and the scorching flames instantly burned a three-meter radius.

Not only was the water-based spell ineffective in cooling the body, it also caused the fire spirit to become violent.

The normal cooling method fails and another method must be replaced.

Try using Wood spells to counter the heat of Fire.

"Bang"!

The Thorn Spell, a wood-attribute spell, actually triggered an explosion of fire-attribute spiritual energy. The flames instantly enveloped the hands of the caster, the temperature instantly soared, and the skin instantly became charred.

He quickly set up an isolation array to isolate the fire-attributed spiritual energy. The flames were extinguished, and then he performed a rejuvenation spell. His hands recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. The charred skin on the surface began to fall off. After a quarter of an hour, his hands were back to normal.

Wood-attribute spells help to ignite fire aura, while earth-attribute spells can probably suppress fire aura.

Earth Wall Technique!

"Boom!" A half-meter-long earthen wall instantly rose from the scorching red rock in front of him. Using his spiritual sense, he observed that the earthen wall's temperature slowly rose, reaching the same temperature as the red rock after ten breaths. The temperature continued to rise until, thirty breaths later, it was melted by the burning fire spiritual energy.

"Bang!" After three breaths of melting, the earth wall collapsed and turned into earth-attribute spiritual energy. It was dispelled by the fire-attribute spiritual energy and disappeared without a trace.

It is feasible. Even the lowest-level earth-based spell, Earth Wall Technique, can last for thirty breaths to operate. The temperature it can withstand is below one thousand degrees, so it is estimated that it can operate on the earth wall for fifteen breaths.

It takes half a breath to cast a wall of earth. Three walls of earth can reach the lava pool where the blazing fruit is. It takes one breath to pick the blazing fruit.

From casting the Earth Wall Spell to picking the Blazing Fruit and then returning to the red rock ground, it takes a total of five breaths, which is enough.

Fifty or sixty feet before he stepped into the magma area, the temperature had already reached over a thousand degrees. At this time, his body could no longer withstand such high temperatures, so he could only cast earth shield techniques on his body surface and wrap his entire body in the earth shield.

Every ten breaths, the spell must be cast again, replacing the previous earth shield with a new one to keep the body below the tolerable temperature range.

Walking to the edge of a magma pool with Blazing Flame Fruit, Shi Chen was no longer able to sense the surrounding temperature. When he was thirty feet away from the magma pools, his released spiritual sense began to be burned by the surrounding scorching fire spirit energy, and he had to retract his spiritual sense.

He still underestimated the temperature of the magma pool. At this time, he was standing ten feet away from the magma pool, and he had to cast the earth shield technique again to cover his body surface every eight breaths.

An isolation array was set up and activated, isolating the fire spirit within a ten-foot radius.

The induction isolation array, whose base material is made of ordinary spiritual objects, can only last for a quarter of an hour before the base is melted by the high temperature and the isolation array becomes ineffective.

He still had thirteen pieces of materials for setting up isolation arrays, leaving three pieces as reserves. With ten isolation arrays, he could pick fifty Blazing Fruits.

He cast the Earth Wall Spell from the black land beside the lava, and cast three Earth Wall Spells, connecting them together, just enough to reach the side of the Blazing Fruit. In less than six breaths, "Bang"!

The first earth wall connected to Hongyan collapsed, followed by the second earth wall connected to the first one, and the third earth wall collapsed right after the second one.

The temperature above the magma pool is even higher. On the black magma land, the earth wall that collapsed in thirty breaths took less than six breaths here.

Calculating the time, the three earth wall spells took one and a half breaths, one breath to reach the Blazing Fruit, one breath to pick it, and another breath to come back, so there was enough time.
