I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

As soon as you step into the Burning Heaven Secret Realm, it’s as if you’ve passed through an invisible warm barrier, and the scene before you suddenly changes dramatically.

Jizhou only felt that an indescribable and powerful spiritual energy instantly enveloped him.

This spiritual energy was not gentle, but rather carried a burning activity, like countless tiny life spirits scrambling to penetrate into his limbs and bones.

Every breath was like swallowing a mouthful of boiling hot yet extremely comfortable spiritual liquid. The Qi sea in the Dantian spontaneously accelerated its rotation, greedily absorbing this energy that was dozens of times more concentrated than the outside world!

He could even clearly hear the subtle vibrations in his meridians, almost like a sound of joy, caused by the sudden influx of a large amount of pure spiritual energy.

He subconsciously took a deep breath. The air was filled with a faint smell of sulfur and a strange fragrance, which was a mixture of rich fire spiritual energy and the unique spiritual plants in the secret realm.

Looking up, the sky is eternally red, as if dyed by the sunset glow, but there is no sun. The light comes from the spiritual light that permeates the secret realm itself.

The earth was a dark ochre red, hard and warm to the touch. In the distance, a red-gold lava river flowed slowly through its winding gullies, emitting a low gurgling sound...

Further away, you can vaguely see some red plants with strange shapes swaying in the breeze, emitting a little spiritual light.

"Is this... the secret realm?"

Even with Jizhou's calm demeanor, he couldn't hide the shock in his eyes at this moment, and his voice had a barely noticeable dryness.

Compared with the thin and peaceful spiritual energy in the human world, this place is simply a paradise for practitioners!

Mingchuan looked at the surprise in his eyes, smiled slightly, and did not rush to go deeper. Instead, he slowed down his pace, walked side by side with him, and explained.

"Indeed, this is the Burning Heaven Secret Realm, one of the foundations of the Qingcheng Yufa Sect. The fire spirit energy here has been condensed over thousands of years and is almost tangible. It has unimaginable benefits for practicing fire-based techniques, especially the Burning Heaven Art."

He casually pointed to a plant nearby that looked like red coral with tiny sparks jumping between its branches.

"Look at that fire coral. In the outside world, it's a rare auxiliary medicine for refining fire elixirs, but here it's just an ordinary thing."

Jizhou looked in the direction he was looking, and felt even more awed.

Although his knowledge was not as broad as Mingchuan's, he also knew the value of such spiritual creatures in the human world.

"Brother Ming, this precious land must be considered as a forbidden treasure by the sect. We are here..."

Jizhou was a little hesitant, as he was worried that this move would bring trouble to Mingchuan.

Mingchuan understood his concerns and said calmly, "That's fine. This secret realm was opened by me, holding the ancient jade. Since Su Hongzhen has given me this authority, I have the right to decide who can enter and practice."

Hearing Mingchuan say this, Jizhou felt a little relieved, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

Mingchuan treated him with real sincerity!

Even he himself did not expect that he would be the first person brought to the world of cultivation by Mingchuan!

"The most urgent task is to lay a solid foundation for you and improve your strength as quickly as possible."

Mingchuan changed the subject and glanced at the depths of the secret realm. "Although this place is rich in spiritual energy, if you want to make a big breakthrough in a short period of time, you still need the help of some special external force."

He led Jizhou along a seemingly random path that actually avoided several obscure energy turbulences, and continued, "Deep within the secret realm, there are several unique spiritual plants. Their medicinal properties can transform even low-level cultivators. One of them is called the Earth Fire Red Lotus. It grows in extremely fiery lands, absorbing the fire marrow of the earth's veins. Its petals are as red as blood, and the lotus core is imbued with a hint of golden light. This plant's medicinal properties are extremely powerful, but if used properly, it can cleanse the meridians, strengthen the foundation of the Tao, and even help Foundation Establishment cultivators directly break through the bottleneck of the Core Formation stage."

Jizhou listened carefully and memorized the characteristics of the Earth Fire Red Lotus firmly in his mind.

He understood that Mingchuan was paving the way for him, and every step was carefully considered.

The two of them were not moving fast. Mingchuan seemed to be trying to help Jizhou adapt to the environment of the secret realm, and at the same time he seemed to be searching for something.

Along the way, they saw several peculiar fire-type spiritual plants and minerals. Mingchuan would casually explain their characteristics and uses, which opened Jizhou's eyes.

The deeper you go, the higher the surrounding temperature becomes, and the more violent the fire spirit becomes. There are even free, golden sparks jumping like elves starting to appear in the air!

Jizhou had to use his spiritual power to protect his body in order to resist the burning heat.

Finally, after passing through a stone forest composed of strange rocks burning with faint blue flames, the scene in front of us changed again.

Ahead is a relatively open depression. In the center of the depression is a small magma lake. The surface of the lake is not completely boiling, but instead has a viscous texture like ruby ​​solution, emitting a heart-pounding high temperature.

And in the center of the lava lake, on several protruding black reefs, there were several plants with strange shapes growing!

They are shaped like lotus flowers, with a deep crimson color all over, as if carved from the purest ruby. The petals are layered, and a faint red glow lingers when they unfold.

The most peculiar thing is that, surrounded by the crimson petals, the lotus pod is not a lotus seed, but a point of light that slowly beats like a living thing and emits pure golden light!

It was exactly what Mingchuan had just mentioned - the Earth Fire Red Lotus!

And judging from its color and the brightness of the golden light of the lotus heart, it is obviously of a high age!

"Found it." Mingchuan stopped and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. "With these few Earth Fire Red Lotuses, plus the power of the secret realm's origin and the elixir I prepared, it's enough to transform you into a new person in a short period of time."

He looked at Jizhou with a serious expression, "However, you must be extremely careful when picking and refining this item. The essence of the earth fire contained within is extremely violent. From now on, you must strictly follow my instructions and not make any mistakes."

Jizhou looked at the red lotus of earth fire that was quietly blooming in the magma, which was beautiful but exuded a dangerous aura, and nodded heavily. There was no fear in his eyes, only determination and trust.

"Brother Ming, I understand. I'll do as you say!"

Mingchuan nodded slightly and his gaze once again turned to the red lotus of earth fire in the center of the magma lake.

He did not pick them immediately, but waved his sleeves, and several streams of light shot out, landing on the edge of the lava lake, turning into several small formation flags, and disappearing into the void.

"The fire spirits here are agitated. Picking red lotus will inevitably stir up the fire in the earth veins. We need to first set up a formation to isolate the aura and stabilize the surrounding spiritual energy."

As Mingchuan explained, he formed seals with his hands and performed a series of spiritual spells.

As he moved, slight ripples appeared in the space around the magma lake, and an invisible barrier quietly formed, slightly suppressing the hot and violent aura!

Jizhou watched Mingchuan's actions and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Mingchuan used to be a mountain that many people could not climb.

And now, he is like a giant dragon standing on top of the world...

Scary and reliable!
