The Vein's Secret, Crimson Pill Fire

Swish!!

Such provocative words echoed in all directions.

Instantly, over a dozen figures rushed out from the Blazing Fire Sect's outpost.

Mystic Profound Realm fifth level!

Mystic Profound Realm seventh level!

Mystic Profound Realm ninth level!

All of them were exclusively Mystic Profound Realm cultivators!

The middle-aged man leading them, his expression filled with rage, exuded a powerful aura.

His cultivation had already reached the ninth level of the Mystic Profound Realm.

"Damn brat, how dare you run rampant in our sect's outpost!"

"Furthermore, you dare to kill people, you're truly seeking death!"

The dozen or so Mystic Profound Realm martial artists all berated him, their voices laced with anger.

They didn't attack immediately, but instead carefully sensed their surroundings, checking for any hidden powerhouses.

They knew that since Su Yun dared to be so presumptuous, he must have some backing.

Therefore, they all speculated that Su Yun might have brought some reinforcements from the Mystic Blade Sect.

However, after sensing the area, they found nothing.

Moreover, after they appeared, Su Yun merely glanced at them indifferently.

It was as if he didn't take them seriously at all.

"Brat, die!"

Being stared at like that, the middle-aged man leading them immediately his gaze turned cold.

His aura erupted, and his body moved like a furious beast, charging towards Su Yun.

"What a terrifying aura! Third Young Master, be careful!"

At this moment, Chen Ying was also affected by the middle-aged man's aura.

He felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, his expression horrified as he quickly shouted a warning.

However, Su Yun paid no attention to these Mystic Profound Realm martial artists at all.

His gaze was fixed on the core area of this outpost.

There, he sensed a faint, yet quite powerful, aura.

Clearly, this person was the true guardian here!

"Still not coming out?"

The next moment, Su Yun withdrew his gaze.

Then, he unleashed a saber strike!

A dazzling blood-red saber light, like a blood-red sun falling from the sky, erupted with an extremely brilliant radiance.

For a time, the blood-red light engulfed everyone's vision.

"How is this possible!"

"This saber strike..."

The middle-aged man charging at Su Yun's face turned ashen with shock!

He struggled to stop his movement, his body trembling.

He couldn't block this saber strike.

He would die!

"Elder, hurry and act!"

At the brink of death.

The middle-aged man exerted all his strength and roared towards the sky!

He held a not insignificant position within the Blazing Fire Sect; even an elder wouldn't just watch him die.

Therefore, as long as the elder stationed here made a move, he had a chance to survive!

Boom!

Indeed, in an instant, a white-browed old man broke through the air and appeared before him.

Then, he unleashed a powerful palm technique, his hands engulfed in crimson flames.

He struck the incoming blood-red saber light with his palm!

Crack!

The next moment, saber and palm met, and harsh cracking sounds continuously echoed, shaking the surroundings.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man behind the old man let out a sigh of relief.

He knew clearly that this must be the sound of the blade radiance shattering!

Sure enough, a moment later, that streak of blood-colored blade light vanished without a trace.

However, the white-browed old man was now coughing up blood, his face deathly pale.

He stared fixedly at Su Yun, his expression deeply shaken.

"Good lad! You actually have some strength!"

The old man lowered his blood-stained palm, hiding it behind his back, and spoke in a cold tone.

But the middle-aged man behind him felt his pupils constrict.

Because at this moment, the old man's palm was a mangled mess of flesh and blood, with the finger bones shattered.

It was trembling!

Yet, what terrified him even more were Su Yun's next words.

"To be able to take a casual strike from me, you're not bad either."

At this moment, Su Yun glanced at the white-browed old man and spoke slowly.

The white-browed old man before him should be at the Qi Sea Realm, but his strength was inferior to the Demon Sect elder he had encountered previously.

Su Yun guessed that this person must have broken through to the Qi Sea Realm by luck, and his cultivation was only at the first level of the Qi Sea Realm.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so heavily injured just by taking a casual strike.

"You junior, you truly have a sharp tongue!"

Hearing Su Yun's words, the old man's face turned gloomy.

He took a deep breath, preparing to unleash his full strength.

Su Yun had already swung his blade!

This time, he held nothing back, directly unleashing his Great Accomplishment Blade Intent!

BOOM!

The terrifying aura of the blade intent instantly suppressed all directions, like surging waves, drowning the white-browed old man's mind.

"Impossible! This kind of blade intent..."

The white-browed old man was greatly alarmed and immediately erupted with his full power, unleashing his strongest attack.

"Great Blazing Palm!"

He let out a roar, striking out three crimson palm prints, each dozens of feet wide, in rapid succession.

However, it was all in vain.

CRACK!

Accompanied by a shattering sound.

The three crimson palm prints were completely obliterated by the blood-colored blade light Su Yun had slashed out!

Following that, the blade light lost none of its momentum.

In the old man's eyes, filled with extreme terror, it pierced through his body at lightning speed!

In an instant, a rain of blood scattered.

"You... you..."

The white-browed old man, his face twisted in agony, muttered a word before falling to the ground in despair.

Gradually, he lost all breath.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man was completely dumbfounded.

A Mystic Profound Realm cultivator.

Actually killed a first-level Qi Sea Realm cultivator in one strike!

Was the person before him human or ghost?

SWISH!

Before he could react, Su Yun's gaze had already slowly shifted toward him.

The middle-aged man was greatly alarmed and hurriedly spoke, "Don't... don't kill me."

"I still have value; I can tell you the true secret contained within this Fire Origin Mine!"

He felt a bit nervous as he said this.

He hoped Su Yun would spare him.

"No need."

However, Su Yun couldn't be bothered to listen any further.

He swept a casual glance over the crowd, then slashed out with his blade, annihilating the Blazing Fire Sect martial artists present.

Next, as was his custom, he began to search the bodies of these martial artists for resources.

In the Spatial Ring of the white-browed elder, Su Yun found a batch of Fire Origin Ore, weighing over a thousand catties, which was quite valuable.

There were also some resources that weren't of much use.

After collecting them, he placed them with the Fire Origin Ore and handed them over to Chen Ying.

Then, he opened his mouth and instructed.

"Chen Ying, take this batch of resources back first. I still have something to deal with."

"Yes, Third Young Master, don't worry!"

Chen Ying took the Spatial Ring and quickly gave his assurance.

After that, he immediately returned the way he came.

At this moment, Su Yun's gaze turned to the Fire Origin Mine outpost before him.

"The secret hidden within the Fire Origin Mine?"

He recalled the words of the middle-aged man in his mind, then his body moved, and he flashed into the core area of the Fire Origin Mine.

Soon, he arrived deep within the Fire Origin Mine.

Here, he could clearly sense that the air had become much hotter.

A gust of wind blew, and waves of heat rolled in!

"Something's not right."

Su Yun frowned.

He had some understanding of Fire Origin Mines.

These mines were merely refining materials born after being infused with fire-attribute spiritual energy and evolving over time.

There were no such anomalies.

Thus, with this doubt, Su Yun continued deeper.

He quickened his pace, bypassing a dense red forest.

In a short while, he reached the central location of the Fire Origin Mine.

The area was a deep red, and the air was unusually dry.

Not far in front of Su Yun.

A pile of crimson ore was stacked here.

In the center of the ore, a palm-sized flame was burning fiercely.

This flame had a peculiar appearance.

It was like a burning crimson cauldron!

And beneath the flame, pools of magma were constantly erupting, splashing out scorching flames.

Seeing this scene, Su Yun pondered in his heart.

Soon, he thought of something and said with a look of pleasant surprise.

"Could this be the legendary Pill Fire?"

Pill Fire!

This was one of the spiritual fires naturally born between heaven and earth, possessing miraculous alchemy effects.

If an alchemist were to refine it, it would greatly increase their alchemy efficiency and success rate.

It could be said that this was a peerless treasure that every alchemist wished to obtain!

"No wonder the Blazing Fire Sect was determined to obtain this place and even dispatched an elder from the Qi Sea Realm to guard it."

At this moment, Su Yun suddenly understood.

A treasure like Pill Fire was indeed worth the price the Blazing Fire Sect was willing to pay.

It was a pity that they seemed unable to take this Pill Fire and could only guard it here, waiting for a strong individual from the sect to come and collect it.

Now, this opportunity had fallen into Su Yun's lap.

Returning to his senses, Su Yun looked at the Pill Fire.

Then, he unleashed the Great Sun Profound Heaven Technique, his entire body radiating golden light, his palm also covered in golden light, greatly increasing his defense.

Next, he extended his right hand, intending to collect the Pill Fire.

Boom!

At this moment, the Pill Fire sensed danger and erupted completely, unleashing a terrifying crimson flame!

Even an expert in the Qi Sea Realm would not dare to touch it casually.

Su Yun stopped his actions and frowned in thought.

"I can try using my blade intent!"

Suddenly, his mind stirred, and he unleashed a powerful blade aura, pressing down upon the Pill Fire like a crushing mountain.

In an instant, the Pill Fire began to tremble violently.

The crimson flames rising from its body gradually flickered and died out.

Seeing the flames extinguished, a smile appeared on Su Yun's face.

"Come here!"

The next moment, he extended a massive golden hand.

He successfully and swiftly gathered the Pill Fire into his grasp!
