Chapter 2128 - 2129: Underground Flame Cavern! (1st Update)

Ling Feng did not know that the demon snake he encountered was actually a Red Flame Demon Snake.

This is a type of demon beast that only appears in environments like Burning Heart Valley, favoring the high temperatures of magma and consuming Desert Fire Stone Milk to increase its strength.

The crimson flames it had spewed out earlier were a terrifying power of flames transformed after consuming a large amount of Desert Fire Stone Milk.

After a fierce battle.

Ling Feng killed the Red Flame Demon Snake and acquired a Demon Core.

This single Demon Core might be equivalent to hundreds of Desolate Fire Stone Qi.

"A great find!"

After safely storing the Demon Core, Ling Feng began searching nearby.

Given that Desolate Fire Stone Qi appeared here, it likely means there is Desert Fire Stone Milk as well.

Shortly after, Ling Feng found around a dozen Desolate Fire Stone Qi, far more than what he had collected earlier near the magma lake.

Moreover, without the "burden" of other teammates, he didn’t need to expend more Divine Power to maintain the Abnormal Fire Outer Layer for them.

...

Continuing onward.

After some time, Ling Feng discovered a cave deep underground.

The cave was filled with toxic magma fumes.

Ling Feng had no Elemental Power to protect himself and could only hold his breath. Fortunately, with his robust physique, a single breath could sustain him for several hours without needing to breathe again.

Proceeding deeper, Ling Feng finally saw a delightful surprise.

Heart Burning Emperor Lotus!

It was a cluster of Heart Burning Emperor Lotus!

And, at a rough glance, there were at least ten blooms!

"Who would have thought there would be so many Heart Burning Lotus here? That must imply there’s a large quantity of Desert Fire Stone Milk in this cave!"

Ling Feng’s eyes lit up; he hadn’t expected to be so lucky.

However, Ling Feng did not act recklessly; he attentively watched and listened to every movement around.

After a while, the magma pool remained motionless, except for the bubbling sound of boiling magma, without any unusual activity.

Yet intuition told Ling Feng that this place wasn’t as safe as it seemed.

Step by step, he walked towards the Heart Burning Lotus near the magma pool, and before long, he stood beside them, collecting the Heart Burning Lotus.

The first bloom...

The second bloom...

Soon, Ling Feng harvested all the Heart Burning Lotus in the pool and threw them into the Qiankun Bag.

The space inside the Qiankun Bag was very limited and not suitable for storing Spirit Plants, which troubled Ling Feng.

Unfortunately, he lacked Elemental Power, unable to activate the Spirit Storage Ring, nor the Five Elements Heavenly Palace.

The lack of suitable storage space was indeed a hassle.

Ling Feng furrowed his brow; the Spirit Storage Ring bore his Divine Sense Imprint, requiring Elemental Power with his Divine Sense Imprint to unlock it.

Alternatively, someone could erase the Divine Sense Imprint on it, re-refine the Spirit Storage Ring to activate it.

But doing so would be tantamount to handing the Spirit Storage Ring over to someone else.

Unless the person is extremely trustworthy, martial artists seldom give their Spirit Storage Rings to others, let alone allow them to erase the Divine Sense Imprint.

"Though I possess Divine Thought, Elemental Power is still an issue."

Ling Feng contemplated; wanting to unlock the Spirit Storage Ring without outside help would require the Talisman Refining Technique.

By infusing Elemental Power from Elemental Stones into a Magic Talisman and combining it with his Divine Sense, even if not forming strong Elemental Power, it should be barely sufficient to unlock the Spirit Storage Ring.

However, this exploration must wait until he returns to the Pure Yang Palace, as this place is not safe.

It’s undeniable, this location is very suitable for Heart Burning Lotus to grow. Before long, Ling Feng found a large number of Heart Burning Lotus in the surrounding magma pools.

Altogether, there were nearly forty or fifty blooms!

Typically, acquiring even one Heart Burning Lotus is difficult, yet here they grew in abundance!

Moreover, at the deepest part of the cave, Ling Feng unexpectedly discovered an enormous Red Lotus, over half a person’s height!

This discovery suggested it was at least five thousand years old!
