An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

"Hmph! Don't you look down on Suzaku? Why do you have the nerve to care about Suzaku's skills?" Ma Yueming glanced at Xu Fu and snorted coldly.

When Xu Fu heard this, he knew that he had thought wrong before. He thought that only Yu Mei, a small-minded guide, would care about him not choosing Suzaku after the competition. However, he did not expect that the dean was not a tolerant person either. host.

"You haven't seen Suzaku's mysterious skills before! If I had known that I could learn fire escape and other magical skills, I would definitely choose Suzaku to death!" Xu Fu quickly flattered him. He also knew that the more petty he is, the more he is cautious. Younger people love to hear compliments.

"You're a smart kid!"

As expected, Ma Yueming's face became more cheerful. He raised his hand and threw a jade slip to Xu Fu, saying, "Write it down quickly and return it to me after a stick of incense."

After that, Ma Yueming walked out of the door, leaving Xu Fu alone in the hall.

Xu Fu looked at the jade slip curiously and marveled at it. This kind of jade slip for teaching martial arts was a rare thing. He had only read about it in books.

The entire jade slip is green, only the size of a finger, without edges and corners, but has many fine lines carved on it, like a small magic circle.

It is said that this jade slip is extremely complicated to make and the method has been lost. Therefore, it is extremely precious and has no market price. Each sect will only use jade slips to record the most important things.

Compared with other recording methods such as books or bamboo slips, jade slips are not only easy to carry, but also can be kept for a long time. It is said that as long as the jade slips are not damaged, even if they are left for tens of millions of years, the contents recorded inside will not be lost. In addition, another important feature of jade slips is that they can be kept secret. Jade slips can be marked with spiritual power. Unless the owner erases them, even those with extraordinary abilities will not be able to spy on the contents of the jade slips. If one relies on cultivation to forcefully erase the marks on the jade slips, then the contents inside will be lost. The content will also disappear together. Because of this, those sects with a long tradition are willing to hide the most important skills or secrets in jade slips, which can only be opened by those who leave spiritual marks on them.

After sighing at the wonder of this fire escape technique, Xu Fu couldn't wait to pour a bit of spiritual power into the jade slip. He felt that his eyes suddenly flashed, and a piece of text appeared in front of him.

The text is not obscure, and there are not too many twists and turns. This fire escape technique only has a few hundred words, and the difficulty is much simpler than Xu Fu imagined.

There are two keys to performing this fire escape technique. One is to use fire. Whether it is ordinary fire or spiritual fire, as long as it is fire, it cannot be performed without fire. The second point is that you can only escape to a place where there is fire, so the perception of the caster is extremely high. Only by sensing the location of the fire first can you escape there.

Feeling that he had learned the fire escape technique, Xu Fu couldn't wait to start practicing. First call out the red beard fire and place it in the palm of your hand, then calm down and sense the fire nearby.

As his spiritual sense slowly spread, Xu Fu suddenly had a thought in his mind and really sensed a spiritual fire.

Xu Fu was overjoyed and immediately used the fire escape technique he had just learned. He kneaded a few spells with his left hand and used the red beard fire with his right hand to create a burst of fire, and then the whole person disappeared in place.

Xu Fu felt his eyes go dark. When he opened his eyes again, he was standing on a stone platform. From here, he could see the entire Suzaku Spiritual Academy at a glance.

Xu Fu looked at the still burning spirit fire fold on the ground and knew that this was what he was sensing, and the spirit fire fold would naturally not appear here for no reason.

Xu Fu turned his head and saw Ma Yueming standing there quietly on the edge of the stone platform. He didn't know what he was looking at, but he was looking at it intently.

"Dean?" Xu Fu called softly.

"You're here." Ma Yueming turned around, with a smile on his face full of relief, "How do you feel?"

Xu Fu patted his chest and felt the sudden decrease in spiritual power in his body. He said a little embarrassedly: "The loss of spiritual power is a bit big, and besides, I feel a little flustered."

"Use it a few times and you'll get used to it. As for the wear and tear, this Fire Release does have very high requirements for cultivation, so in Suzaku, only people above the eighth level are qualified to practice." Ma Yueming looked at Xu Fu with a complicated expression. She originally thought that with Xu Fu's cultivation level, a single use of fire escape would consume all his spiritual power. But now, although the young man said that the loss was great, it was obviously not to the extent that his meridians were empty. It seemed that, as Hu Wangshuo said, this boy Extraordinary indeed.

"It's a pity that my heart is not in Suzaku!"

Ma Yueming sighed in his heart. He finally persuaded the academicians of Zhuque Shanling Academy to agree to recruit male students, but he was still a step too late and Qinglong snatched them away.

"If I had known better, I would have found someone better-looking to be the escort."

When Ma Yueming heard about Xu Fu's remarks about "love at first sight", he originally just "hated iron for not being able to become steel". But now, he regretted that he didn't expect this and actually sent Yu Mei, who was plain-looking and had a bad temper, to pick up the newcomer. .

Naturally, Xu Fu didn't know what Ma Yueming was thinking. He saw that her expression kept changing, and she thought she was thinking about something important.

"Dean, return the jade slip to you." Xu Fu returned the jade slip with both hands, interrupting Ma Yueming's thoughts.

Ma Yueming took the jade slip, touched it with his thumb, and put it into his sleeve pocket.

"You said before that you had two requirements. What is the other one?" Ma Yueming turned back to his usual indifferent face as he spoke.

"I would like to borrow the Fire Spirit Treasure for use." Xu Fu replied quickly.

"Didn't I tell you? I was thrown into the sea of ​​fire."

"Really? How can you give up such a treasure?"

Seeing Ma Yueming's serious expression without any hint of joking, Xu Fu was puzzled.

"I will give up everything for Suzaku!"

Ma Yueming's voice was cold, but it also revealed a sense of determination.

Xu Fu was in awe when he heard this, and understood that the current situation Suzaku was in was really extremely critical.

"Since you are going to the sea of ​​​​fire, I will explain something to you first." Ma Yueming looked up at the smoke and dust rising from the top of Pengyun Mountain, and said very solemnly: "The sea of ​​​​fire is divided into three levels. The first level is for cultivation. The perfect place for fire technique, the fire is strong, but ordinary monks can resist it. The second level is filled with fire poison, and those with weaker cultivation will die if they enter. Suzaku only allows monks of seventh grade and above to enter. As for the third level , is the heart of the sea of ​​fire, even if you have cultivated to the ninth level, you can't stand the scorching heat..."

"Has no one ever been to the third floor?" Xu Fu was shocked. When he heard that it was so dangerous, he was also very nervous.

"With the help of fire-avoiding pills, I can last a few breaths."

"Fire-avoiding elixir? How many breaths?" Xu Fu frowned slightly. This is a seventh-grade elixir. According to the elixir book, after taking this elixir, you will not be hurt by fire. The most important thing is that this is a high-grade elixir, but it can only make the ninth-grade supreme master who practices the fire technique unable to stay any longer. How scorching it is!

"To be honest, I'm not sure whether the fire-avoiding body can withstand the scorching heat, so if you can't handle it, just use fire escape to escape. I will light this spiritual fire at the entrance to the third floor, and at the same time The Suzaku Seven-Star Array has been deployed to suppress the fire poison on the third level, and the magic weapon and elixir are ready..."

After Ma Yueming finished speaking, he walked to Xu Fu, looked at the young face again, and showed a slightly bitter smile. Then he put his hand on Xu Fu's shoulder, and with a flash of fire in his left hand, the two of them disappeared without a trace.

When Xu Fu opened his eyes again, he was already standing in a dark cave, and a wave of heat came instantly. Ma Yueming's face remained as usual, but Xu Fu frowned. It felt like he was in a furnace.

Seeing a bright light coming from above the cave, Xu Fu looked up and saw a huge circular cavity above, with a smoke column coming straight out of the cavity.

"Is this inside Pengyun Mountain?"

Xu Fu looked at the smoke column and suddenly understood where he was. He didn't expect that there was such a place in Pengyun Mountain.

Looking at the rising smoke column, Xu Fu was curious as to why the smoke was so straight and did not spread out at all.

"The smoke cave is surrounded by a downwind array. The smoke is poisonous. A few puffs of it can kill an ordinary monk." Ma Yueming simply introduced Xu Fu to him before he could ask.

"Then why are you here?" Xu Fu looked around. The fire spirit power here was several times stronger than outside. Many students were practicing here.

"This is the first level of the sea of ​​fire. Let you feel it first." Ma Yueming said with a slight smile.

"This...how does it look like the sea?" Xu Fu looked around carefully again. Except for rocks, they were just rocks. Where did it look like the sea?

"The sea is below." After Ma Yueming finished speaking, he put his hand on Xu Fu's shoulder and used the fire escape technique again.

We arrived at a new place, much darker than before, but there were dots of firelight on the ground, and we could see clearly where we were staying.

"This is the second floor." Ma Yueming said, but his eyes were fixed on Xu Fu. He turned his face when he saw that Xu Fu was fine.

"It's too stuffy here!" Xu Fu frowned and said in disgust. The heat here is so thick that it takes a lot of effort to breathe.

This place is a bit hotter than the first floor. It feels like being locked in an alchemy furnace, as if it will be refined into elixirs if you stay there for a long time.

This second floor is much larger than the first floor, but there are only a few people here, and it doesn't look like they are practicing. They all sit on the ground with expressionless faces, making hand seals, as if they are forming an array to cast spells.

"Suzaku Qisu, except for me, the other six people are here day and night to maintain the Six Yang Formation." Ma Yueming's voice came from the side, her tone was extremely calm, but her helplessness could also be heard.

These world-renowned strong men can only be trapped here. Xu Fu felt uncomfortable looking at them. Looking at the six people forming a circle, it was hard to imagine that they were as famous as the "Qinglong Qisu". At this time, these six people closed their eyes tightly and seemed not to notice the arrival of the two.

In addition, Xu Fu also clearly felt that the smoke and dust around him were constantly gathering towards the center, and finally gathered into a column of smoke, floating upward along the hollow in the center.

"You should bring these things with you, they should come in handy."

Ma Yueming did not introduce Xu Fu more, but led Xu Fu to a stone and asked Xu Fu to put away the things on it.

A dagger shining with cold light, a small yellow gourd, and a jade bottle with a fire-avoiding elixir in it.

"Light the spiritual fire here. If you can't do anything, come back quickly." Ma Yueming lit the spiritual fire, inserted it into the crack of the stone, and warned again.

"Where did you invest the Fire Spirit Treasure?" Xu Fu was grateful for Ma Yueming's concern, but he still wanted to ask clearly about the most important thing.

"Don't worry, there is a spiritual fire on the third floor, and the spiritual treasure is near the spiritual fire." Ma Yueming looked at Xu Fu's firm face, with a bitter smile on his face, but the smile disappeared fleetingly, and then said: "Take the medicine to avoid the fire." Fire Pill, sense the spiritual fire below, and then use fire to escape."

Xu Fu did as he was told, and sure enough he felt a spiritual fire burning directly below him. After saying goodbye to Dean Ma, he took a deep breath, the red beard fire flashed in the palm of his hand, and the fire escape technique was launched.

Seeing Xu Fu's disappearing figure, Ma Yueming gently closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he picked up the spiritual fire stick inserted in the crack of the stone without expression and extinguished it with his hand.

"It's so hot!"

Before Xu Fu opened his eyes, he felt that he was stepping on a hot stone, and the clothes on his body suddenly burned. Xu Fu immediately became a man on fire. Although there was no severe pain from being burned, the feeling of being on fire all over his body made him very uncomfortable. Feeling comfortable, Xu Fu quickly tore a few times and tore off all the clothes.

The clothes were gone and all the things he carried fell to the ground. Xu Fu hurriedly knelt down and fumbled to pick them up. That was all. The Wooden Lingbao must not be thrown away, and he still expected it to save his life! He had been carrying it with him for the past two days, hoping to find the Fire Spirit Treasure, but unfortunately there was no movement at all.

Thinking of this, Xu Fu hurriedly touched his chest. The Immortality Tablet and the Alchemy Furnace were both there. The thin ropes threaded through them were made of unknown materials, but they kept burning. The only thing left was Qianliyi on the back. It was burned at this time and actually retracted directly into Xu Fu's body. It was not known whether it was damaged by the roast.

Xu Fu reluctantly opened his eyes and found that in front of him was a hill made of countless huge rocks. In a very hidden gap at the foot, a small spiritual fire flickered.

The scorching heat behind him was unbearable. When Xu Fu turned around, he discovered that there was actually a piece of red magma that was constantly surging. He could not see the end of it under the ground, and he couldn't tell how big it was.

"So this is where the sea of ​​fire comes from!" Xu Fu finally understood why this place was called the sea of ​​fire.

"Find the Fire Spirit Treasure quickly!" Xu Fu didn't dare to delay. Even with the help of the fire-avoiding pill, he felt like he was about to be roasted. It was hard to say whether he would be able to withstand it after the potion wore off. This fire-avoiding body seems not as powerful as imagined.

There was no response from the Mu Xing Lingbao. Xu Fu didn't know where to go, so he had to explore the surroundings with all his strength. Unfortunately, the fire spiritual power here was too strong. Xu Fu's spiritual consciousness could not spread at all, and he could only barely perceive the abnormal spiritual power of one foot around. .

Even so, Xu Fu still sensed a few subtle spiritual powers, and when he turned around, he saw several reddish-brown "worms" emerging from a crack in the stone not far away and crawling towards Xu Fu.

"Centipede?"

Xu Fu looked at the "worm" and he didn't know how many legs it had grown. It was almost similar to a centipede, but it was very small. In a place like this, he didn't know what it could eat to survive.

Xu Fu picked up the dagger and stabbed it into the nearest centipede.

Xu Fu couldn't feel any obstruction. After the dagger passed through the body of the "centipede", it was inserted straight into the stone. The "centipede" broke in response. It seemed that the body of this "centipede" was not as good as the common centipede.

I thought that the insect would be solved like this, but I never thought that one half of the "centipede" turned into two and continued to crawl towards Xu Fu's feet.

Seeing this strange situation, Xu Fu was also shocked and quickly took a few steps back. Fortunately, although this "centipede" has many legs, it crawls a little slowly. Even if it is close at hand, Xu Fu can easily avoid it.

To deal with these uninformed insects, Xu Fu thought for a while and called out the red beard fire again. I was originally worried that the "centipedes" near the sea of ​​​​fire were not afraid of spiritual fire, but I didn't expect that as soon as the red-bearded fire came out, those "centipedes" immediately retreated, while the red-bearded fire stopped listening to Xu Fu's orders and headed towards the fire like a joy. Several "centipedes" rushed over.

Several tentacles struck three times, five divided by two, and the "centipedes" in front of them had been stuffed into the "mouth", and then got into the cracks in the rocks on the side...
