Oh no, I accidentally cultivated three spiritual roots and became an empress!

Zhong Lingxin arrived late, so she kept walking forward.

The ground beside the lava pool was already dark red, and even wearing ice skates, she could feel the soles of her feet being scalded.

The scorching wind burned my face.

Here, there are the last three Flame Fruit Trees. Under each tree, only two or three people stand, all looking up at the dark red fruit on the tree.

The Flame Fruit is ripe when it turns a bright red color.

Someone glanced at the newly arrived female cultivator and exclaimed "Eh!"

This exclamation of "Eh!" drew the attention of all the cultivators.

Those who enter here are at least at the late Golden Core stage.

Who would have thought that a mere Foundation Establishment stage female cultivator could make it this far?

However, everyone was only slightly shocked before turning their attention back to the Flame Fruit on the tree.

The Flame Fruit has begun to brighten and is slowly becoming translucent.

The flame fruit tree is so delicate and tender, they were thinking of picking a couple more.

They didn't have time to care how that little nun walked in.

Zhong Lingxin looked at her skin, which was about to blister, then at the innermost tree, circulated her spiritual energy, and rushed towards the tree.

Under that tree, a male cultivator in a blue robe was already standing.

Zhong Lingxin silently stood on the other side of the tree, right next to the lava pool.

Occasionally, the lava in the lava pool would surge, and a few drops of lava would fall onto Zhong Lingxin's ice wind boots.

The ice boots sizzled as they burned in the lava.

Zhong Lingxin felt that blisters had formed on her feet.

It was burned by the lava through the ice-wind boots, and also by the ground beneath their feet.

Fortunately, the Flame Fruits shimmered very quickly, illuminating the entire edge of the lava pool like little red lanterns, making the whole area bright red.

All the cultivators were busy picking the fruit, and no one had time to say much.

Zhong Lingxin held jade scissors in her right hand and a jade box in her left. She cut one jade scissor at a time and quickly put it into the box.

The cultivator opposite was equally quick, holding scissors in one hand and a box in the other, constantly picking flame fruits.

Soon, the cultivators outside finished picking the fruit and all rushed inside.

Zhong Lingxin stopped picking Flame Fruits and, before the crowd could rush in, crushed a teleportation talisman and left.

She knew perfectly well that once the Flame Fruit was harvested, the Flame Fruit tree would die.

The great battle between the cultivators is about to begin.

She should probably slip away beforehand.

Fortunately, the cultivators were somewhat wary of a Foundation Establishment stage female cultivator being able to enter the innermost part of the Fire Lava Pool, so no one dared to stop her, and she teleported away smoothly.

Behind Zhong Lingxin, as the bright red lanterns disappeared, various spiritual energies began to intertwine.

Zhong Lingxin no longer cared about any of these things.

She still needed to find flint.

Flint is a type of stone that originates from fire veins and contains abundant flames, making it an excellent material for setting up a fiery array.

Since she started learning formations, she has used up all the firestones in her inventory. This time, when she came to Luofeng Mountain Range, she took on a sect collection mission and collected some for herself.

Following the map, Zhong Lingxin headed towards the area where the flint was produced.

The further in you go, the more cultivators gather.

One by one, they all held quarry shovels and dug on the hot, steaming lava ground, while being careful not to let the lava from the ground spurt out and hit them when they dug.

Zhong Lingxin walked to a less crowded spot, released her fire elemental power, and sensed the changes in the fire elemental energy underground.

Of course, this kind of sensing is not very accurate, because flint and underground magma both have fire elemental energy.

But being able to sense something is better than not sensing it at all.

Zhong Lingxin dared not probe her fire elemental power too deeply, for fear that the magma would burn her.

After examining the area for a while, she sighed and continued probing forward.

There's a reason why cultivators don't mine here; the ground is completely still and undisturbed.

Zhong Lingxin walked for a whole day but still couldn't find a single flint.

There are far fewer people around her now mining flint.

She looked around and continued walking.

She keenly sensed that the divine senses of several cultivators were constantly enveloping her.

These are yet another few cultivators who want to gain something for nothing.

Two more cultivators, seeing Zhong Lingxin going deeper and deeper, boldly followed behind her.

Zhong Lingxin sneered, thinking it would be a good opportunity to test the formation she had just learned.

She stretched out her palm once more, and red fire elemental energy appeared in her hand as she probed into the ground.

Under the cover of fire elemental power, she secretly buried a few spirit stones.

After a while, she pretended to sigh, withdrew her fire elemental power, and continued walking forward.

The two cultivators following behind her saw Zhong Lingxin walk forward and followed without hesitation.

Just as they stepped into the formation, Zhong Lingxin activated the formation with a thought.

Flames suddenly shot up.

The two cultivators didn't take it seriously; since they dared to follow Zhong Lingxin, they had already taken precautions.

Within this fiery vein, many cultivators use the flames to bury array plates.

They are Golden Core cultivators, after all; they have the insight to detect the array plates buried by a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The two cultivators remained calm and quickly looked around.

Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, they couldn't find any trace of the array plate.

How can this be?

Could it be that when they stepped on it, the ground collapsed and lava burst forth?

But they soon realized that wasn't the case.

Because they cannot escape this sea of ​​fire.

What appeared to be a tiny patch of flame from the outside seemed to the two cultivators to be growing larger and larger, until it stretched as far as the eye could see.

Zhong Lingxin stood not far away, watching the two Golden Core cultivators struggle in the raging fire array with an open and honest attitude, while several divine senses surrounding her watched her.

She was looking at the results of her formation.

In her opinion, she was still far from meeting her master's requirements, and she couldn't help but sigh heavily.

Judging from the divine senses that landed on her, this young female cultivator was dissatisfied with the effect of her array plate, as it hadn't burned two Golden Core cultivators to death after so long.

This is a complete misunderstanding.

Zhong Lingxin set up a third-grade Flame Array. However, with the guidance of her perfectionist master, the effect of the array looked like that of a fourth-grade Flame Array Plate.

No cultivator expected that this was a Grade 3 Blazing Flame Array set up by Zhong Lingxin on the spot.

Because the time allotted for setting up the formation was too short.

In the minds of cultivators, setting up a fourth-grade Flame Array, even with the best materials, would take at least half an hour.

However, the time Zhong Lingxin spent using her fire elemental power to investigate was less than half an incense stick's time, which was not enough to set up a fourth-grade blazing flame array. Therefore, she had to use an array plate instead.

At the same time, they were dismissive of the two Golden Core cultivators. They couldn't even break a fourth-tier array plate; they should have been able to blast it open with an explosive talisman.

What they didn't know was that Zhong Lingxin's Fiery Array had incorporated an Illusion Array.

This is what Venerable Qingyang told Zhong Lingxin: all the great formations are the result of one small formation after another being superimposed.

Once you understand the principles of formations, you can stack them however you want.
