Fire Burning Water Splashing Method

Fire Burning Water Splashing Method

After Anvil Wood's roots had grown for a while, they became tangled together, making the framework exceptionally sturdy. Li Xuan no longer had to worry about the tunnel collapsing.

After returning to the surface, Li Xuan exchanged for a boxed meal and a bottle of mineral water in the System Mall, then sat in the thatched hut and began eating.

After working all morning, Li Xuan was exhausted and starving.

So he lay in the pile of straw to rest for a while. Only then did Li Xuan climb back out of it and begin tidying the courtyard.

Li Xuan was also worried that rashly using the Silver Thunder Walnut would cause tremors and draw suspicion toward himself.

However, Li Xuan had not expected the Silver Thunder Walnut exploding against the mountainside to cause such a huge disturbance.

Under normal circumstances, tremors of this scale caused by the Silver Thunder Walnut would not attract much attention. After all, tremors happened from time to time.

But Li Xuan still feared that some idle steward might come over to investigate the cause of the tremors.

After eating and drinking his fill and resting for a while, Li Xuan finally walked out of the thatched hut.

Li Xuan first went to the area above the tunnel and carefully inspected the soil overhead.

He was worried that the recent tremors had caused the ground to cave in, which would make the tunnel far too easy to expose.

Fortunately, the ground had not collapsed, saving Li Xuan the trouble of staging the scene.

Relieved, Li Xuan returned to the thatched hut, lay in the straw, ate bread and drank water, and relaxed comfortably.

Just like that, Li Xuan waited until the sun set.

"Looks like no one really took today's tremors to heart." Li Xuan smiled and shook his head before heading out into the courtyard.

He took out more than a dozen Clay Pots from the corner, filled them with clean water, and placed them in the Void Pearl.

Once he had finished, Li Xuan returned to the basement.

Then, Li Xuan skillfully entered the tunnel.

When he reached the mountainside, he took all the water-filled Clay Pots out of the Void Pearl and placed them inside the tunnel.

"I hope this method works." Li Xuan shrugged and slowly raised his hands.

As Soul Power rapidly circulated, it transformed into Burning Heart Clarifying Spirit Flame above Li Xuan's palms.

The golden-red flames struck the rock wall, and a wave of heat swept toward him.

If Li Xuan had not possessed the fire-attribute Martial Soul, the Nine Hearts Nine Flames Lotus, he would not have been able to withstand such scorching temperatures.

In just a few minutes, the rock had been heated until it was searing hot.

Feeling that it had been heated enough, Li Xuan picked up a water-filled Clay Pot and poured its contents over the blazing-hot mountainside.

"Sizzle..."

As steam spread through the tunnel, Li Xuan stepped back and waved his hand.

Several breaths later, the steam dispersed, revealing a rock wall covered in cracks.

A trace of delight flashed through Li Xuan's eyes as he looked at the cracked rock wall. Then he reached out and struck it hard.

Chunks of broken stone fell from the wall, and the already recessed section of the mountainside deepened by several more inches.

Li Xuan thought for a moment, then took out his tools, cleaned up the broken stones on the ground, and stored them in the Void Pearl.

Although he had not carved out much stone this time, it proved that his idea of using fire to break rock was feasible. It was just a little slow.

Li Xuan was young, strong, and stubborn. He poured out Burning Heart Clarifying Spirit Flame as though it cost nothing, desperately scorching the rock wall.

Half an hour later.

While releasing the flames, Li Xuan suddenly went limp and sat on the ground with a pale face. The Burning Heart Clarifying Spirit Flame also vanished into nothingness.

He looked as though someone had hollowed him out.

"Hah... hah... This consumes way too much Soul Power..." Li Xuan leaned against the tunnel wall, picked up a Clay Pot, and gulped down the water without caring whether it was clean.

Fortunately, Li Xuan's talent was exceptional, and he recovered Soul Power quickly.

Half an hour later, all the Soul Power in Li Xuan's body had recovered.

Once his Soul Power returned, Li Xuan began working desperately again, scorching the rock wall with flames while dousing it with water.

Li Xuan spent the entire night repeatedly working away in the tunnel.

It was not until early the next morning that Li Xuan emerged from the tunnel, sporting two dark circles under his eyes.

The moment he returned to the surface, Li Xuan happened to run into Bai Wen, who had come looking for him.

"Xuan Ge'er, are you home today?" Bai Wen stood outside the courtyard and called to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan sighed helplessly and pinched his thigh to wake himself up a little before walking out of the courtyard.

"I'm home, Brother Bai Wen. What is it? Do you need something?" Li Xuan opened the door, welcomed Bai Wen inside, and asked with a smile.

"Hehe, Xuan Ge'er, is there anything else you need me to do? I... I'm a little hungry..." Bai Wen said somewhat sheepishly.

"Haha, so that's it. Brother Bai Wen, I'll get you some more bread. There probably won't be much work lately, but if you're hungry, come find me anytime. I've got plenty of bread here." Li Xuan smiled at Bai Wen.

"Th-then I'd feel too embarrassed." Bai Wen rubbed the back of his head awkwardly and gave Li Xuan an honest smile.

"Wait here, Brother Bai Wen." After saying that, Li Xuan returned to the thatched hut. He took out a large sack, filled it with bread, and carried it into the courtyard.

Bai Wen hesitated for a moment, then repeatedly thanked Li Xuan. Finally, he shouldered the sack of bread and left Li Xuan's courtyard.

Li Xuan watched Bai Wen's departing figure and shook his head. Bai Wen was an honest man, and Li Xuan was currently digging a tunnel underground. It was far too dangerous, and he did not want to drag Bai Wen into it.

After sighing, Li Xuan returned to the thatched hut, lay down on the straw, tilted his head, and fell asleep.

After repeatedly using Soul Power throughout the night, Li Xuan had already exhausted himself completely.

As the sun set and the evening breeze turned cool, Li Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

After sleeping soundly while utterly exhausted, he felt incredibly refreshed when he woke up.

Li Xuan climbed out of the straw, stretched his stiff joints, touched his growling stomach, and helplessly bought a boxed meal and another bottle of mineral water from the System Mall before eating and drinking.

After finishing the boxed meal, Li Xuan returned to the basement. Time was tight and the task was urgent, so he needed to work twice as hard to dig through the tunnel.

After entering the tunnel, Li Xuan took out a stick and checked the depth of the stone passage he had excavated.

After making a simple measurement, Li Xuan discovered that he had carved out a stone passage ten meters deep in a single night!

That morning, Li Xuan had been too sleepy to care how deep he had dug and had gone straight to sleep.

Excavating ten meters in one night was already incredibly fast!

At this rate, Li Xuan should be able to carve a tunnel through the rock wall leading to the outside before Chrysanthemum Douluo came to inspect the place.

Half a month had already passed since the day the seeds were distributed, and in another half month, Chrysanthemum Douluo would personally come to the Flower Sea to inspect the flower seeds.

With fifteen days left, Li Xuan could excavate a tunnel one hundred and fifty meters long. The mountainside was only a little over one hundred and twenty meters thick, so as long as he worked overtime, he could carve out an escape route before Chrysanthemum Douluo arrived.

If he could not dig through the tunnel before Chrysanthemum Douluo arrived, Li Xuan would be in danger.

Li Xuan had already exposed the fact that he was skilled at Cultivation, but he could not withstand scrutiny.

In less than ten days, he had cultivated more than a thousand flowers and plants.

That would certainly attract Chrysanthemum Douluo's attention. By then, it would be too late for him to try to escape!

Dear readers, today is Friday, and tomorrow is the happy weekend. Wishing all dear readers a happy weekend.
