The Azure Spirit Volcano
Ling Penglin pondered for a long time, and then used her Divine Sense to explore the origin of the blue flames that were gushing out from the depths of the earth.
Upon closer inspection, the aura of the blue flames that remained undying in the water and surged from the riverbed of the Underground River was somewhat similar to the aura of the fire vein deep within the cave.
And only after the flames at the core of the blue flames' origin gathered together and gradually coalesced into a fist-sized, humanoid flame figure did she understand everything.
A look of surprise immediately appeared on her face, and a gleam of light appeared on her cheeks.
"Deep Blue Spirit Fire!"
"The Flame Sprite Embryo!"
"This is... Spirit Volcano!"
"Hahaha, I never expected that the Fire Spirit Vein here would have two rare companion spirit objects: a Earth Fire Cave and a Spirit Volcano."
The Deep Blue Spirit Fire is an extremely powerful spirit flame. When it attacks, it is silent and extremely fast, and its aura is very weak, like a ghost. It is a spirit flame that is extremely good at fighting.
In addition, the temperature of this spiritual fire is extremely high, even stronger than earth fire of the same level, and no weaker than spiritual fire of the same level. It can also be used to refine spiritual items.
Spirit Volcano is a rare find. This volcano, like the Earth Fire Cave, can produce flames, but Spirit Volcano is several times stronger than Earth Fire Cave.
This is because the spiritual fire nurtured by the Spirit Volcano is not only several times hotter than the earth fire nurtured by the Earth Fire Cave, but it can also give birth to "Flame Sprite".
Flame Sprite can only be born in the Spirit Volcano. They are formed from Flame Sprite spiritual fire within the Spirit Volcano and are entirely made of flames.
Currently, the Flame Sprite within this Azure Spirit Volcano is still in its nascent stage. It needs a long time to absorb enough Deep Blue Spirit Fire before it can enter the Qi Refinement Realm and awaken.
At the same time, the Flame Sprite can also improve its cultivation by relying on the spiritual fire within the Spirit Volcano. The higher the volcano's grade, the stronger the spirit's cultivation.
The demon spirits possess extremely powerful strength; if they are in their respective volcanoes, they may even be able to fight enemies of higher levels.
In addition, it is worth mentioning the Golden Core Initial Stage Flame Sprite nurtured by the Third Rank Low Grade Black Flame Spirit Volcano that accompanies the third-grade fire vein at the Hundred Spirits Sect's base.
Decades ago, when the Thunder Roc clan attacked the Hundred Spirits Sect's stronghold, they swiftly killed a Pseudo-Core Realm Thunder Roc whose strength was no weaker than that of an ordinary Golden Core Third Layer cultivator, demonstrating their terrifying power.
That Black Flame Fire Phoenix, at the Golden Core Initial Stage, is also the guardian spirit Spirit Beast of the Hundred Spirits Sect. With that Black Flame Fire Phoenix around, even Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator leading troops would find it difficult to conquer the Hundred Spirits Sect in a short time.
However, both the Black Flame Sprite from the Hundred Spirits Sect and the other Flame Sprite have a very obvious weakness.
That is, once the Flame Sprite stray far from the Spirit Volcano, with the continuous and unbroken flames within the Spirit Volcano aiding them, their combat power cannot be sustained for long. Each time they use an attack, they must consume the spiritual fire within their own bodies.
If they do not replenish the consumed spiritual fire in time, their cultivation level will also decline.
Ling Penglin, who was initially overjoyed, lost some of her smile because of this incident.
"Unfortunately, this Spirit Volcano is not located near the clan's territory, but rather on the edge of the Muddy Swamp Territory occupied by our clan. It is difficult for it to serve as a guardian for the Lineage, unlike the Flame Sprite in the Black Flame Volcano of the Hundred Spirits Sect."
"My array formation skills are not yet at the third rank, making it difficult for me to set up Migration Grand Array to move this volcano to the vicinity of the Lineage."
"The demon spirits born from this volcano in the future will only be able to guard the Fire Essence Spirit Pool that produces spiritual water."
Ling Penglin muttered to herself with a hint of helplessness.
The Migration Grand Array is an extremely profound array. Like the rare Teleportation Array, its lowest grade is third rank.
The effects of this Migration Grand Array are remarkable. It can not only relocate Spirit Volcano, but also Spirit Vein, Earth Fire Cave, and so on to other places.
However, without the assistance of a large number of spiritual objects during the migration process, the migrating Spirit Vein and Spirit Volcano will lose a lot of their original power, resulting in a decline in their grade.
It took Ling Penglin quite a while to come to her senses.
Meanwhile, in the cave not far away, the fire vein that had just advanced to the second rank began to replenish its spiritual power to the accompanying First Rank High Grade Fire Essence Spirit Pool and the Spirit Volcano that had just been born deep in the riverbed, whose rank was only at the First Rank Low Grade.
With the help of immense spiritual power, the aura of the Fire Essence Spirit Pool and the Spirit Volcano continued to rise.
On the other hand, the aura of the Fire Spirit Vein that had just entered the second stage was gradually weakening, and there were even signs of instability in its realm and a decline in its grade.
Upon seeing this, Ling Penglin frowned.
She hurriedly returned to the cave on the cliff face of the Underground River Mainstream. Ignoring the depletion of the Fire Spirit Vein's essence, she forcibly relied on the Spirit Vein Enhancement Grand Array to quickly refine the remaining two thousand Spirit Stone for the ascension into Spiritual Qi and transfer it into the Fire Spirit Vein that was nourishing it.
With the help of abundant Spiritual Qi, the Fire Spirit Vein, which had been weakening, gradually recovered.
About half an hour later, the accompanying First Rank High Grade Fire Essence Spirit Pool also successfully advanced to the second grade under the feedback of the Fire Spirit Vein.
With the help of the Spiritual Qi fed back by the Fire Spirit Vein, the walls of the spirit pool slowly seeped out wisps of Fire Essence Spirit Liquid.
In just a short while, a large amount of Fire Essence Spirit Liquid Fire Essence Spirit Liquid appeared in the spirit pool, filling most of it.
Furthermore, the Fire Essence Spirit Liquid within that spirit pool possessed an aura of the second rank, indicating it had been there for a hundred years.
Ling Penglin scanned the pool with her Divine Sense and carefully counted the hundred-year-old Fire Essence Spirit Liquid within it.
When she discovered that there were as many as twenty-five mouthfuls of Fire Essence Spirit Liquid within the Spirit Pool, her face lit up with joy.
"With these twenty-five doses of Fire Essence Spirit Liquid, equivalent to Second Rank Low Grade Demon Spirit Gathering Pill of the same level, the Lineage members who mainly cultivate Fire Element Cultivation Method are truly blessed."
However, after saying this, she thought of something.
This place was discovered by Yan Siyi, and Yan Siyi did not directly state whether she wanted to hand over this spiritual pool to the clan.
Ling Pengyun had only sent her here to set up the formation.
For the time being, the ownership of this sacred pool temporarily belongs to Yan Siyi's family.
With this in mind, Ling Penglin, a member of the Ling Clan clan, also understood the ownership of those Fire Essence Spirit Liquid.
"Sister-in-law Si Yi is also family. Her cultivation has now broken through to the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer, and she is only one step away from the Foundation Establishment Completion. With the help of these hundred-year-old Fire Essence Spirit Liquid, Sister-in-law Si Yi's cultivation can also advance further."
Then, Ling Penglin took out an empty Glass Bottle containing spirit liquid from her Storage Bag and collected all twenty-five mouthfuls of Fire Essence Spirit Liquid produced by the breakthrough of the spirit pool.
After a while, the newly born First Rank Low Grade Spirit Volcano deep outside the cave, nourished by the Spiritual Qi produced by the Fire Spirit Vein, broke through to First Rank Middle Grade.
The nascent Flame Sprite Embryo it was nurtured, with the help of the sparse spiritual fire within the Spirit Volcano, grew to the Qi Training Middle Stage in a short period of time.
The Qi Training Middle Stage Flame Sprite also awakened, transforming into a streak of fire that burst forth from the Spirit Volcano, reached the Underground River Mainstream, and then swiftly entered the cave where Ling Penglin Ling Penglin, rushing to her side.
These actions startled Ling Penglin, who quickly took out a second-tier magic shield and erected Dao Techniques shield light screen to protect herself.
Then, he summoned the array flags of the Second Grade Middle Rank natal array artifact, "Yellow Sand Erosion Grand Array".
Just as Ling Penglin was about to unleash the array flags, she noticed that the Qi Training Middle Stage Flame Sprite, whose entire body was made of flames and was right next to her, was not attacking her, but was curiously observing her.
A hint of doubt appeared between Ling Penglin's brows, and at that moment she suddenly realized that there was a faint connection between herself and the Flame Sprite.
This connection cannot command the Flame Sprite; rather, there seems to be a special bond between them.
"Could the special bond between me and the Flame Sprite be because I used the Spirit Ascension Array to upgrade the Fire Spirit Vein, which was originally at the First-Tier Superior-Grade level, to the second-tier level, thus causing the Flame Sprite's mother nest, the Spirit Volcano, to be born?"
Ling Penglin, being completely baffled, simply accepted this as the nature of the entanglement.
