Sister, I don't want to be a furnace anymore. I'm about to become an immortal.

Chapter 94: Absorbing the Fairy Core Crystal

After tasting the sweetness, Xiao Yichen was even more reluctant to let go. Regardless of the other party's roots growing again and hitting his back fiercely, he bit them one bite at a time. While being beaten, he used the newly acquired wood element to repair himself, just like using a belt dipped in iodine to disinfect while beating.

"Haha, I want to see whether you kill me first or I swallow you first." Xiao Yichen muttered to himself, and his mouth movements did not stop at all. In the end, his dantian was about to burst, and he only bit off one tenth of the opponent's volume.

"No... I'm almost overdoing it." Feeling the wood element constantly leaking out of his body, Xiao Yichen felt so heartbroken. Why didn't he think of this before?

Another blow hit his back, and Xiao Yichen fell back to the ground in pain. He began to think of how to deal with it. When he thought of the fragment of the fairy core crystal in the center of his heart, he felt itchy. He couldn't just leave like this. After all, after he left this time, what if he came back later and found that this place was occupied by other sects?

"Let's fight. Even if I can't swallow it now, I have to take it away."

Looking at it again, in just a few moments, the heart had returned to its original state without any scars left.

He dodged the roots that were hitting him and quickly rushed to the heart. He punched it, and it became transparent again, with the fragment in the center appearing. After hitting it several times in a row, Xiao Yichen discovered that every time the heart became transparent, it would completely disappear for a short period of time, leaving only the fragment. What he had to do was to take advantage of this gap to grab the fragment and take it away.

The severe pain in his back continued to come, and he completely let down his defense, just to observe the existence of that gap. When the fragment appeared again, Xiao Yichen suddenly stretched out his right hand towards his heart, but before he touched the fragment, his heart had recovered and squeezed his hand out.

The next step is to keep trying, getting beaten, and when the power of the natural tribulation in the body is exhausted, pick it up and take a few bites, and then repeat the previous operation.

He fought like this for a full hour, and finally he seized the opportunity. The moment the heart disappeared again, Xiao Yichen stretched out his hand towards the center of the heart in advance according to the previous frequency. The moment his fingers touched the fragments, he felt like he was electrocuted. He could not move his whole body and was enveloped by an extremely large wood element.

The heart never reappeared, and along with it, the roots around it, as if they had lost their support, fell down one after another. Then the roots on the surrounding walls began to slowly wither.

A loud "bang" sound reached Xiao Yichen's ears, and soil began to fall from the top of the cave. It was obvious that the place was about to collapse because it had lost the support of these roots.

"Damn, how could this happen? Now I can't even move. I hope I'm not buried alive here." Xiao Yichen was extremely anxious. If he was buried alive, he might not be able to get out. After all, he was sure that this place was deep underground, and it was unknown how far away from the ground.

However, as if God had heard his inner monologue, another dull roar was heard, the cave began to shake violently, and the rocks above fell faster and faster.

Seeing that the place was about to collapse completely, Xiao Yichen was finally able to move. He clenched his palms tightly and grabbed the fragment floating in the air. Ignoring the strong repulsion emanating from inside, he gritted his teeth and flew out of the cave, but his speed was not very fast.

Before he could fly far, the passage completely collapsed as it lost its support. Rumbling sounds continued to be heard behind him, and the roads were already narrow, so he couldn't increase his speed at all.

Finally, the last straw that broke the camel's back turned into a pile of mud, completely blocking the road ahead. He slapped the buried area, intending to open up the mud, but this palm instead completely collapsed the space here. In just a moment, he was buried in it.

If the barrier around him had not been open all the time, he would have probably eaten a pile of dirt by now.

"It's over. I still can't get out."

At this moment, Xiao Yichen was extremely anxious. If he couldn't find a way, he would probably be trapped here and die. Even if Liu Qingqing would come to rescue him, the cave was buried deep underground and the passage would be completely covered by mud in no time. By then, she wouldn't even be able to find where Xiao Yichen was buried, let alone save him.

After taking a look at the crystal in his hand, his frown relaxed a little.

"Huh... Fortunately, I got the fragments of the Fairy Core Crystal. I shouldn't die anytime soon."

He tried to push away the surrounding soil, but found that he could not do it at all. He then sent a force of heavenly tribulation around, and the soil instantly turned into ashes. This gave him some hope. As long as there was enough force of heavenly tribulation in his body, he could dig it out by slowly digging upwards.

After he no longer had any worries, he expanded the space around him a little bit. Otherwise, it would be uncomfortable to lie like this all the time. He supported the empty space with a barrier to prevent it from collapsing again.

After finishing everything, he carefully looked at the fragment in his hand. He didn't see it clearly during the battle before, but now when he held it in his hand and played with it, he found that this fragment was so exquisite, more beautiful than any gem he had seen before.

The whole body is light green and emits bright light. In this dark environment, it saves the consumption of lights. The light seems to have life, constantly dancing, making people love it.

The only drawback was that the fragments were emitting a large amount of wood element scent all the time, which made Xiao Yichen feel extremely uncomfortable when he was close to it. It was like a person who liked to drink water but sank into the deep sea and couldn't breathe. The feeling was too depressing.

"Hiss... What should I do? If I take him out like this, I don't believe he won't be hunted down."

Looking at the green crystal in his hand, Xiao Yichen was in a dilemma for a moment. If he swallowed it directly, he was afraid that his body would really explode and die. After all, just holding it in his hand was a bit too much for him to bear, let alone absorbing it directly.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. Xiao Yichen slapped his forehead, thinking that the heart that had just been transformed from the fragments did not continue to emit the breath of wood element like it did now.

"How stupid! Can't you just stop it from emitting steam?"

Thinking of this, he began to mobilize the power of the heavenly tribulation to completely wrap the fragment in his hand. As he thought, he really sealed it. However, relying on his current strength, he could not fully control it. At this moment, the ball formed by the power of the heavenly tribulation in his hand was constantly expanding. It would not be long before it would be blown up.

"Forget it, let's break through first. Maybe when I break through to the peak of the Body Tempering Realm, I'll be able to control it. Then I can absorb it into my Dantian."

The power of the heavenly tribulation that had enveloped the fragments dissipated, and the breath of the wood element once again filled the place. Xiao Yichen sat down cross-legged and began to continuously refine these elements around him. After converting them into the power of the heavenly tribulation, he immediately began to use them to temper his body.

Currently, he has almost unlimited energy, so he doesn't have to worry about the power of the heavenly tribulation running out. Slowly, after he has exhausted the power of the heavenly tribulation to temper his body again and again, his physical strength is increasing at a terrifying speed. It won't be long before he can break through.

Wait for that day to come.
