Chapter 2809 - 2813: Heart of Molten Fire

"Hum, Ling Xiao, do you take me for a fool? You and Mu Qing teaming up are beyond my ability, but remember, I won’t let you off easily!"

From a distance, Yun Lan snorted coldly and then disappeared.

"Oh no, he hasn’t given me the magic crystal stones yet!"

Ling Xiao looked helplessly at Yun Lan as he fled. He couldn’t do anything about it; that guy also knew the Magic Dragon Illusion, and his speed was not slower. If he was determined to escape, there was no way Ling Xiao could catch up.

"Ah!"

Just as Ling Xiao felt helpless, he suddenly heard a scream.

It turned out Yun Lan was blown back after trying to escape.

It was Xiao Jin who had stopped him.

Yun Lan never thought he would be stopped by Xiao Jin. It was truly difficult for him to accept in that moment.

"Get him!"

Ling Xiao shouted, charging forward.

Yun Lan realized at this moment that his only choice was to flee, faced with the fierce golden bird and Ling Xiao whose power seemed to have broken through.

If Mu Qing joined in.

He stood no chance.

But how could he escape?

Suddenly, inspiration struck him, and he took off the storage ring from his hand, tossing it towards the scorching magma.

"Ling Xiao, all my magic crystal stones, spirit stones, and demon beast crystal cores are yours."

Seeing the storage ring, Ling Xiao hurried over. He was naturally more interested in it than Yun Lan’s life.

Yun Lan was already no match for Xiao Jin; even against Ling Xiao, he wouldn’t gain any advantage.

In short, even if he made it outside, Ling Xiao could deal with him whenever he wanted.

But the storage ring was different; typically, once a storage ring lost the protection of inner strength and fell into the blazing magma, it would melt instantly, ruining everything inside.

This idea came to him in a split second. Ling Xiao first confirmed with his Tai Chi Eye that the storage ring was genuine before rushing over.

In that small gap, Yun Lan fled again, evading Xiao Jin, and darted off through an unblocked route.

Yun Lan had never been so embarrassed before, having to desperately flee for his life was a huge disgrace to him.

"Ling Xiao, mark my words! Once outside, I’ll surely settle scores with you, today’s matter is far from over!"

"As if I’m scared of you, idiot!"

Ling Xiao took the storage ring and checked its contents, feeling quite pleased.

It seemed Yun Lan had removed everything else to accommodate more magic crystal stones within.

But even so, the magic crystal stones inside were enough for Ling Xiao to enjoy for a long time.

In essence, magic crystal stones were special stones containing thermal energy, although their energy was singular compared to spirit stones, they were purer, making them ideal for cultivation and array formation.

"Mu Qing, are you alright?"

Turning back, Ling Xiao went to Mu Qing’s side and asked.

"I’m fine, but you made an enemy of Yun Lan to help me, that might be trouble in the future."

Mu Qing said worriedly.

"No need to worry about that. If he doesn’t come for me, I’m going for him. That scumbag kidnapped the Red Demoness and even beat her, if I hadn’t arrived in time, she might’ve been killed."

Ling Xiao said through gritted teeth, "To think he keeps saying he likes you and yet dared to harm you, I’ll never let you act alone because of that."

Hearing Ling Xiao’s words, Mu Qing felt a sweet sensation in her heart, she didn’t regret nearly being killed by Yun Lan to protect the treasure.

"This is for you!"

Mu Qing took a heart-like object from the storage ring.

The object was flowing with scorching magma.

Releasing extreme heat.

"Could it be!"

"Yes, it’s the Heart of Molten Fire!"

Mu Qing nodded, "As you know, there’s a one in ten thousand chance of forming a Heart of Molten Fire in places with constant magma accumulation.

Refining it can change the nature of your inner strength, transforming ordinary inner strength into special inner strength—the Molten Fire Power, which is much stronger than the ordinary.

For martial artists with special physique, it can grant a Molten Fire Martial Spirit, something others can’t do, but I believe you can.

Additionally, the Heart of Molten Fire can enhance the magma attribute of a Beast Spirit, making it stronger. I remember you have a Magma Cerberus Beast Soul.

Of course, there are also cultivation level improvements."

Ling Xiao certainly knew that the greatest use of the Heart of Molten Fire was indeed changing the characteristics of inner strength.

Previously mentioned, there are generally four grades of inner strength.

First: Ordinary inner strength, which is what the vast majority of martial artists have; whether it’s the past’s True Essence or the current Yin-Yang Elemental Force, it’s just different manifestations of inner strength, still considered ordinary.

Second: Special inner strength, infused with Five Elements changes, owned by martial artists with special martial spirits or arts, stronger than ordinary inner strength;

Third: Origin Inner Strength, the core essence, very powerful, though generally not used in battles by martial artists. But in desperation, it’ll surely be used.

Some skilled martial artists can condense all their inner strength into Origin Inner Strength, incredibly powerful;

Fourth: Profound Mysteries Inner Strength, the strongest known type of inner strength, even more terrifying than Origin Inner Strength.

And this is the inner strength Ling Xiao possesses.

This is why Ling Xiao’s inner strength always prevails in clashes with other martial artists.

He must thank the King of People, without his guidance, Ling Xiao’s inner strength would’ve only reached the special inner strength stage.

Of course, despite that, the Heart of Molten Fire isn’t useless to him, it can still transform into Molten Fire Martial Spirit or boost the Magma Cerberus’s level.

But that would be too wasteful.

After thinking, he shook his head, "This treasure you tirelessly acquired, I don’t have the right to own it."

"You don’t want it?"

Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, then directly tossed the Heart of Molten Fire into the magma.

Ling Xiao hurriedly darted over to catch the Heart of Molten Fire, smiling wryly, "I don’t want it; you should use it.

The Molten Fire Power derived from the Heart of Molten Fire is among the best of special inner strengths, nearly twice as strong as ordinary ones.

It’s definitely a great item.

Even if you don’t need it, selling it would fetch at least 100 million low-grade Spirit Stones for this Heart of Molten Fire."

"I said I’m giving it to you, and that’s final!"

Mu Qing’s steadfastness left Ling Xiao rather helpless.

"Alright, alright, I’ll accept, but can I give it away?"

Ling Xiao asked.

If it were used by him, it’d be wasteful, it would be better suited for Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin relies on devouring thermal energy to increase its cultivation level, the Heart of Molten Fire suits it perfectly, especially when it’s ready to break through the Thirteen-Level Hell Cultivation, the Heart of Molten Fire could help it overcome barriers.

"Who are you giving it to?"

Mu Qing’s expression changed again.
