This is a huge natural underground cave with a high-hanging dome that is dozens of feet tall.
The rock walls of the cave are covered with dark red lines, like traces left by years of being burned by flames.
The ground is dotted with large and small geothermal springs, which are steaming. The spring water is milky white and glows with a faint amber luster under the firelight of the rock wall.
The entire cave was shrouded in a hazy mist, like walking into a huge underground steam room.
"So beautiful..."
Lu Pingping widened his eyes and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Her eyes swept across the cave and suddenly settled on the deepest part of the cave.
There is a small naturally formed stone platform there. In the center of the stone platform, a plant about two feet tall is growing in the rock crevice.
The plant is all red, and its surface is covered with a layer of fine golden lines, as if the leaves are inlaid with gold threads.
And on the top of the plant, there were three longan-sized fruits.
The fruit was as red as fire and crystal clear, like a red agate bead.
There is a faint layer of fire flowing on the surface of the fruit, flickering in and out of the mist, breathing in and out of red shimmer rhythmically.
"Scarlet Flame Vermilion Fruit!"
Lu Pingping's pupils shrank suddenly, and there was disbelief in his voice.
Jiang Fa looked at her with some confusion. "Do you know this thing?"
"It is recorded in Dark Robe Guards's elixir spectrum."
Lu Pingping walked forward quickly, squatted in front of the plant, and carefully identified it for a moment. The look of shock on his face became more and more intense.
"Scarlet Flame Vermilion Fruit, an elixir that was born and raised in the earth, it takes at least a hundred years to bloom and bear fruit. When mature, the fruit will be as red as agate, with firelight flowing on the surface, flickering on and off like breathing."
She said slowly, "Once this thing is mature, it must be used within ten days, otherwise it will wither on its own and lose all its potency."
She turned her head and looked at Jiang Fa: "These three fruits should have matured in recent days."
Jiang Fa squatted down and looked at the few Scarlet Flame Vermilion Fruit carefully.
From an arm's length away, he could feel the hot breath emitting from the fruit, as if he was close to a ball of fire.
The scorching heat penetrated along the skin of his face and into the pores, causing the blood all over his body to faintly stir.
"What's the use of this thing?" he asked curiously.
"Quenching body."
She explained, "Scarlet Flame Vermilion Fruit is a natural body-tempering elixir. It is said that after taking it, the medicine will temper the body from the inside out. The effect is hundreds of times stronger than the ordinary Body Tempering Pill. It can be called a miracle medicine."
Jiang Fa was a little shocked. He didn't expect that the thing in front of him was so complicated.
Lu Pingping glanced at him and continued:
"Although Scarlet Flame Vermilion Fruit is powerful, ordinary people cannot take it directly."
She stood up and explained, "The energy of earth fire contained in this object is extremely overbearing. The essence of earth fire sealed in one fruit is enough to burn the flesh and blood of ordinary warriors to ashes. Even some masters who are accomplished in body refining do not dare to swallow it hastily."
Jiang Fa raised his eyebrows slightly. "Then you just said that this thing is a body-tempering magic medicine."
"It's true that it's a miracle medicine, but you have to live to take the miracle medicine."
Lu Pingping rolled his eyes at him. "Scarlet Flame Vermilion Fruit's medicine is too powerful. After an ordinary warrior takes it, the earthly fire energy will pour into the limbs and bones from the Dantian, burning the meridians, bones, flesh and blood, and even the internal organs. This process is extremely painful. If you are not careful, your meridians will be severed and all your internal organs will be burned. The risk is extremely high."
Jiang Fa was a little confused. "According to what you say, isn't this thing something you can only look at but not eat?"
Lu Pingping shook his head. "Of course not. If you want to take Scarlet Flame Vermilion Fruit, there are actually two ways. The first is to use cold elixir to neutralize its fire poison, and then refine it into an elixir. This This method is the safest way, which can effectively prevent the user from being injured by the fire poison. The only regret is that if this is done, the potency of Scarlet Flame Vermilion Fruit will be greatly lost. If you don't save one out of ten, it is a gain and a loss."
Jiang Fa was stunned and then asked, "What about the second method?"
"The second method..." Lu Pingping glanced at him, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The second method is more direct and more difficult than the first. If successful, Scarlet Flame Vermilion Fruit's medicinal power can be completely absorbed, but this method is simply impossible for ordinary people to do..."
Jiang Fa looked at her, waiting for her to continue.
She glanced at him. "You'd better not ask, it won't be of any use to you if you know."
Jiang Fa refused to give up, staring at her with burning eyes. "How do you know it's useless to me if you don't tell me? What if it does?"
Lu Pingping felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at it. He turned away and continued reluctantly, "The second method is that the person who takes it can suppress the Scarlet Flame Vermilion Fruit fire poison by practicing the method, so that the body of the person who takes it can withstand the pain of being burned by the earth fire. Only then can he have the opportunity to completely absorb the substance."
Lu Pingping sighed.
"But how can ordinary people possess that kind of cultivation method? Because of this, although this substance is precious, very few people dare to take it directly. Most of them use it to refine elixirs and use other mild medicinal materials to neutralize its fire poison and minimize the risk."
Jiang Fa After listening, my heart skipped a beat.
"What kind of cultivation method are you talking about?"
Lu Pingping glanced at him and said helplessly, "It is said that if a warrior wants to take this thing directly, he must at least be equipped with Heaven Rank's body training method. If it is an ordinary method, it will have no effect at all against this kind of heaven and earth spiritual thing."
After hearing her answer,
Jiang Fa's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but cast his gaze on the three Scarlet Flame Vermilion Fruit.
If you observe carefully, you will find that
His eyes at this time were full of greed.
Lu Pingping Seeing his appearance, I had no idea what he was thinking, "Don't mess around, this thing is really not a joke."
Jiang Fa ignored her.
Thoughts swirled in my mind.
Isn't my Seven-Colored Glazed Glass Art the Heaven Rank technique?
It is still the Heaven Rank, Upper Grade method, which can be called the master of the Heaven Rank method.
According to Lu Pingping, there shouldn't be much risk in taking the three gadgets in front of you.
The progress of Seven-Colored Glazed Glass Art's second level is only in the early 600s. According to the normal speed, it will definitely not be possible to break through the third level in a short time.
If I can completely absorb the three Scarlet Flame Vermilion Fruits in front of me, my Seven-Colored Glazed Glass Art progress will definitely increase a lot, and I might even be able to directly break through to the third level.
By then, if he meets an opponent like Shi Chongshan again, he will definitely not be as helpless as last time.
Thinking of this, he looked at Lu Pingping: "You just said that taking Scarlet Flame Vermilion Fruit can make the physical strength skyrocket, right?"
Lu Pingping nodded. "Yes, Scarlet Flame Vermilion Fruit's energy of earth and fire is extremely pure and extremely domineering. If you can handle it, the benefits will be endless. If you cannot handle it, your meridians will be destroyed at best, or burned to ashes at worst."
She paused, her eyes fell on Jiang Fa, and she hesitated to speak.
Jiang Fa Seeing her expression, he raised his eyebrows slightly. "What?"
Lu Pingping said in a serious tone, "Your physical body is indeed much stronger than that of warriors of the same level, but Scarlet Flame Vermilion Fruit's earth-fire energy is definitely not something that ordinary body-refining warriors can withstand, so you'd better give up on that."
Jiang Fa did not refute.
I definitely can't tell her about my Heaven Rank practice Seven-Colored Glazed Glass Art.
But after taking it herself, she would definitely be able to see some clues.
Jiang Fa After thinking about it, I found that it was inevitable.
No matter what, as long as she doesn't admit it, what can she do?
"I want to try."
Having made up his mind, Jiang Fa looked at her again and said seriously.
Lu Pingping stared wide-eyed. "Are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy. How will you know if you don't try?"
Jiang Fa didn't explain any more. He walked directly to the Scarlet Flame Vermilion Fruit plant and squatted down.
He stretched out his right hand and the moment his fingertips touched the surface of the fruit, a burning sensation came instantly.
"The temperature of this thing... is comparable to that of fire."
He whispered secretly in his heart.
Lu Pingping saw that he was really about to reach out and pick it off, so he grabbed his wrist.
"Did you hear what I said?"
There was a hint of urgency in her voice. "This thing is really deadly. I'm not kidding you."
Jiang Fa knows that she is caring about him.
"I know."
"You know..." Lu Pingping was angry and didn't know what to say for a moment.
This man obviously listened to it, but his expression of indifference showed that he was determined to give it a try.
"Why are you so stubborn?" She let go of his wrist, but did not move away. She stood between him and the Scarlet Flame Vermilion Fruit plant, her eyes filled with annoyance.
But after she finished speaking, she suddenly paused.
Because Jiang Fa was looking at her without blinking.
Lu Pingping was inexplicably panicked by what he saw, and said angrily, "What do you think I'm doing?"
"Are you worried about me?" Jiang Fa looked at her in surprise.
Lu Pingping's ears were burning.
"Who is worried about you?"
She turned her face away. "I'm just afraid that if you die, how can I go out alone."
