Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Chapter 39: Searching for Fire at Changfen Ridge

There is a mountain range called Hengyang Mountain Range in the northeast of Hengyang Prefecture, running from east to west. The area north of the mountain range is on the shady side of the mountain range and is rarely exposed to sunlight all year round. In addition, the towering hemlock forest blocks the sunlight, making this place even darker and more eerie.

It is said that a large-scale war took place here in ancient times, and many monks who died in the war were buried here, so this place was called Changfenling by later generations.

Lu Chen drove a flying boat to escort Elder Hong Fu to Hengyang Prefecture to find Ye Rushuang. During the trip, after Elder Hong Fu learned the reason why Lu Chen went to Hengyang Prefecture, she suggested that Lu Chen take her to Changfen Ridge to collect Yin Fire first. Maybe she could provide some help, which was a disguised way of expressing gratitude to Lu Chen.

Elder Hong Fu is willing to help, so of course why wouldn't Lu Chen want to? Yin Fire is the most common spiritual fire in the world of cultivation, and it is also the easiest to obtain. When a person dies and his body decays, a special substance will form, which will condense into fire under certain circumstances.

The cultivator only needs to absorb this fire element and store it in his Dantian, and then nourish it with spiritual power to use this fire for his own purposes.

The higher the level of the fire, the more efficient one will be in the process of refining medicine or equipment. Therefore, the pursuit of a high-level fire has become the lifelong pursuit of alchemists and equipment refiners.

"This should be it!" Lu Chen said on the flying boat, looking at the vast hemlock forest below.

"Yes! It's almost here." Elder Hongfu nodded.

Then Lu Chen landed the flying boat, and the light around him gradually dimmed. It was still broad daylight, but the hemlock forest was dark. The small mounds and tombstones that could be seen everywhere were accompanied by bursts of death, giving people a gloomy and terrifying feeling.

"Lu... Lu Chen!" Elder Hong Fu's face turned pale at the moment because she was unable to use her true energy. She was surrounded by black death energy and could not stand steadily. She had no choice but to ask for help.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen glanced sideways and saw that Elder Hong Fu looked shaky. He quickly sent a stream of spiritual power to Elder Hong Fu. As soon as the spiritual power entered her body, the deathly aura around her dissipated instantly and her complexion gradually improved.

"I'm sorry, Elder. I didn't notice your feelings." Lu Chen retracted his spiritual power.

"It doesn't matter. However, your spiritual power is so strong that I guess cultivators below the middle stage of foundation building are not your match. It seems that you also have some extraordinary experiences." Elder Hong Fu said in shock.

"Thank you for the praise, Elder!" Lu Chen and Elder Hong Fu walked towards the depths of Changfen Ridge.

"I am no longer an elder of Xuantian Sect. Moreover, it is inappropriate to call me elder now that I have lost all my cultivation. My real name is Zhou Hongfu, and you can call me Senior Sister Zhou." Elder Hongfu said.

"Okay!" Lu Chen agreed. In order to avoid embarrassment, the two chatted about some irrelevant topics. During the conversation, Lu Chen once again transferred spiritual power to Senior Sister Zhou so that she could resist the death energy around her.

"Wait a minute!" Senior Sister Zhou suddenly stopped Lu Chen.

"What's wrong?" Lu Chen thought that Senior Sister Zhou had discovered something, so he quickly extended his spiritual sense vigilantly. After checking, he didn't find anything unusual, and then looked at Zhou Hongfu in confusion.

"Use your spiritual sense to look over there, there should be a formation." Zhou Hong Fuyu pointed at a seemingly ordinary grave. Although she was temporarily unable to use her true energy, she still had the eyesight of a Jindan stage master and could tell at a glance that something was unusual.

After hearing this, Lu Chen focused his spiritual consciousness on the grave that Zhou Hongfu pointed to.

Sure enough, the seemingly ordinary grave had a subtle fluctuation of spiritual power. If it were not for a cultivator who had some knowledge of formations, an ordinary cultivator would definitely not be able to detect it.

"There are indeed fluctuations of spiritual power. It should be an advanced concealment formation, but how do we break it?" Lu Chen said happily. The formation that appeared in this place must be to cover up something from being discovered. Maybe there is some treasure. Lu Chen was glad that he brought Senior Sister Zhou with him, otherwise he would definitely not be able to find it.

"Try to attack with all your strength first." Zhou Hongfu said with a smile.

"Yeah!" Lu Chen nodded, and with a thought, the "Little Dragon Spear" appeared in his hand. Spiritual power was poured into it, and suddenly a green light appeared. Five dragon shadows suddenly appeared in the air, rushing towards the grave with fangs and claws with terrifying momentum.

"Buzz..." The grave made a buzzing sound after being attacked, and a transparent light curtain appeared. When the light curtain disappeared, the grave returned to its original appearance. There was no sign of damage to the surrounding grass and trees, as if nothing had happened.

"Okay! This is indeed an advanced formation, and the method of setting up the formation is extremely sophisticated. The cultivation level of such a cultivator is probably not inferior to mine." Zhou Hongfu frowned.

"What should we do? Should we just give up like this?" Lu Chen said unwillingly.

"If I were in my prime and could still attack forcefully for a few days, maybe I could break this formation, but now I can't do anything." Zhou Hongfu said helplessly.

After hearing what she said, Lu Chen wanted to open the formation even more to see what was hidden inside. It was probably impossible to break the formation by force, and he didn't understand formations. It was really a case of not having learned enough when you need it. It seemed that he had to take some time to learn formations in the future.

"It's useless. With your spiritual power, it's impossible to force open this formation. You might as well go look for the Yin Fire." Zhou Hongfu understood Lu Chen's thoughts and kindly reminded him not to waste his time.

Lu Chen paced around the grave, thinking about how to break the formation. Suddenly, an idea came to him. He remembered that the saliva of the gold-eating toad was corrosive. He wondered if it would be useful for this formation. With the mentality of giving it a try, Lu Chen released the gold-eating toad.

"Quack...quack..." At Lu Chen's instruction, the gold-eating toad sprayed a mouthful of brown liquid towards the grave.

"Sizzle..." The brown liquid made a sizzling sound when it touched the light curtain on the grave.

Lu Chen had been using his spiritual sense to pay attention to the changes in the formation. Seeing the liquid gradually seeping into the formation's light curtain, he was very excited. It seemed that it was indeed effective.

So Lu Chen continued to drive the gold-eating toad to continuously spray brown liquid onto the grave.

"When did the Gold-Eating Toad develop this function?" Zhou Hongfu was attracted by the noise here and was surprised to see this scene. The Gold-Eating Toad was originally an ordinary second-level monster. He had never heard that the saliva of the Gold-Eating Toad could corrode the formation, otherwise the Gold-Eating Toad would definitely be famous.

"Haha... Actually, I don't know why. Let's just break the formation first." Lu Chen said happily. He really didn't know the reason.

As a large amount of brown liquid sprayed onto the light curtain of the formation, the energy on the light curtain gradually weakened.

An hour later, the gold-eating toad started to strike. Its two bowl-sized eyes looked at Lu Chen pleadingly. It really couldn't spit out any saliva.

"Pop..." At this time, a sound breaking through the air was heard. Lu Chen and Zhou Hongfu stared at the grave nervously, not daring to breathe. They saw the transparent light curtain gradually fade and then disappear, and the scene inside slowly appeared.
