Chapter 79 Fire Calamity Fruit
"This spirit seed should be called Nirvana Fire, a high-grade flame used for forging magical tools. I think those blacksmiths would be very willing to pay a high price to buy it!" Lingling said with a smile on her face.
"To be honest, I still can't quite believe it's real. This is a spirit seed, a spirit seed that's priceless..." Zhang Xiaohou said, looking dazed.
"I think we shouldn't just focus on the spirit seeds. Although the Scorching Plains is known for its flames, there are actually some extremely special natural treasures that require the flames to reach a certain level before they can bloom and bear fruit. So the appearance of the Fire Tribulation can be said to have given them a thorough irrigation..." Zhao Chenying was clearly not very interested in the Nirvana Fire, but instead seemed to be in a hurry to find other treasures.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Zhao Chenying. Could it be that she was in such a hurry because she had some ulterior motive?
"Since we're all on the same team, you might as well speak up if you know anything. Otherwise, by keeping things to yourself, we don't really trust you," Lu Jie said.
"I...I...what could I possibly know? I just...I just think we should aim higher...it's that simple." Chen Ying was clearly not good at lying, and she panicked before anyone even questioned her.
How could her appearance not arouse suspicion, especially from Zhao Manyan, who brought her along? They were family, and Zhao Manyan only allowed her to come because of absolute trust.
Zhao Manyan looked at Chen Ying and felt that Chen Ying really shouldn't hide anything from the people here, so he said to Chen Ying seriously, "I told you before we came that they are all people who can be completely trusted."
We can all see that your understanding of Zhuoyuan seems to exceed that of those of us who were prepared long ago... and you're also specifically guiding us to find something.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhao Chenying finally revealed the reason.
She first apologized to everyone, and then told them what she knew about Kitakata Shohara.
Everyone listened attentively, as this likely involved treasures even more valuable than the spirit seed, and no mage would be unmoved.
"Well, I have a relative..."
After a long explanation, everyone finally understood why Zhao Chenying knew so much about Zhuoyuan Beijiao.
Her mother was burned by the fire calamity and she needs to use the Fire Calamity Fruit to heal her.
"So, as long as the Fire Calamity Fruit is found, your mother can be saved?" Zhao Manyan said.
Zhao Chenying nodded and then said, "My calculations were very accurate, but I didn't expect the power of this fiery tribulation to be so great."
I was wrong to hide it from you before, and I'm really sorry.
I just hope you can help me find the Fire Calamity Fruit, which is extremely valuable.
If we can find it, I only need one of the Fire Calamity Fruits as medicine to heal my mother; the rest you can distribute as you wish. Also, I've heard my mother mention a creature called the Flame Princess; she seems to be the guardian deity of the Fire Calamity Fruit, so…”
"Does this mean that finding the Fire Calamity Fruit will lead to finding Flame Princess?" Mo Fan's eyes lit up.
Wasn't his purpose in coming here to find Yan Ji?
"Yes, that's why I don't want you to waste too much time on spirit seeds, because I know the approximate location of the Fire Calamity Fruit... I suppose it won't be long before those major powers send people to the Scorching Plains." Zhao Chenying nodded.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go in quickly, or there won't be anything left," Mo Fan said hurriedly.
Having four magic systems, he was more short of money than anyone else, and cultivating each magic system required a lot of resources.
Since this is a golden opportunity, we absolutely cannot miss it!
"Actually, those powerful forces can't get in for a short time. After the fire calamity, the Sand River rioted, and they can no longer break in simply by relying on mind magic and their strong strength..." Ye Xinxia said.
Although everyone nodded in agreement, they did not linger and plundered all the resources they encountered along the way.
Based on Zhao Chenying's recollection of her mother's description of the terrain, the group finally arrived at the foot of a flat-topped mountain that rose abruptly from the ground.
"This towering flat-topped mountain is so abrupt! We've been walking for so long and all we've seen is the flat terrain of the northern corner of Zhuoyuan, without even a trace of mountains. But this mountain suddenly appears on this flat land." Zhang Xiaohou looked up at the flat-topped mountain along the vertical cliff.
It actually looks more like a volcano. Unlike most volcanoes that are wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, it looks more like a straight volcanic column that pierces into the blue sky. If you can't fly, you can't climb it at all.
"Are you sure the Fire Calamity Fruit is right here?" Mo Fan asked Zhao Chenying.
"Yes. My mother said it's hollow inside, and you can get in by finding a crack in the mountain wall," Zhao Chenying said.
Just as Zhao Chenying had said, as they circled around Fire Pillar Mountain, they found a crack leading into the interior of the mountain.
As you walk along the crack, you can feel that it is winding upwards. The rocks inside are semi-crystal and semi-rocky, and very smooth.
Continuing onward, they collected some more fragments of spirit seeds along the way. It seemed that this cave was also a good place for tempering. If they searched carefully, they would surely be able to find one or two more spirit seeds.
"Clang! Clang!"
Suddenly, a series of dull and grating sounds, like metal being struck, came from inside the cave.
The feeling was like rubbing fingernails hard on a blackboard, which made people's hearts tremble.
Soon, they arrived at a red carpet made of molten lava. The firelight illuminated the stone walls, and Zhao Manyan and Lu Jie no longer needed to maintain the light for illumination.
"Haha, Zhuoyuan isn't so unapproachable after all. Look at the lava streams around us, they're practically streetlights and a red carpet to welcome us!" Zhang Xiaohou walked in front, looking somewhat smug.
Lu Jie remained silent. The lava was spreading wider and wider, filling the low-lying areas and then engulfing their group.
He and Mo Fan exchanged a glance, then he said, "Quick, let's get out of here immediately!"
"What's going on?" Zhao Manyan and Zhang Xiaohou asked, puzzled.
Although puzzled, they listened to Lu Jie's words and ran downhill as fast as they could.
"Holy crap, when did this lava fill up so much??"
Suddenly, a bright red carpet of flames appeared in front of them, seemingly blocking their way back.
