Ling Xiao frowned slightly.
The red clam is a very strange monster that cultivates very slowly. Just like the thousand-year-old red clam in front of you, it is only an early third-order monster.
However, the Red Clam is a treasure-hunting beast that can explore the mountains and rivers of the earth, spiritual stone veins, natural treasures, and ancient tombs. It is very magical, and its speed is extremely fast. A thousand-year-old Red Clam in the early stage of the third stage is difficult to catch even for a strong man at the Grandmaster level.
This Hunyuan Golden Lotus Fire has obviously become food in the stomach of the Thousand-Year Red Clam. The Thousand-Year Red Clam absorbs and spits out the pure energy of the Hunyuan Golden Lotus Fire to practice. If one alerts the enemy and lets the Thousand-Year Red Clam run away, it will be difficult to catch it again.
"It will take some effort to catch this thousand-year-old red clam!"
There was a gleam of light in Ling Xiao's eyes as he slowly retreated out of the valley.
"Soul-fixing grass, dead wood fruit, bewitching flower..."
Ling Xiao easily found several elixirs he needed around the valley.
These kinds of spiritual medicines are the favorites of the Millennium Red Clam, and are also its half-life spiritual medicines. As long as there is a Millennium Red Clam, these kinds of spiritual medicines will exist.
Ling Xiao found a small swamp not far from the valley. He fiddled with it for a while to set a trap, and then restored the swamp to its original state.
Finally, Ling Xiao used a special method to mash those spiritual herbs into medicinal paste, then dried them and made them into several dark golden incense sticks.
"Everything is ready, except for the thousand-year-old red clam to fall into the trap!"
Ling Xiao let out a breath, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
These dark golden incense sticks, called Golden Ambergris, were refined by Ling Xiao using a special technique and have a fatal attraction to Zhu Ha.
If things go well, once the red clam enters the swamp, Ling Xiao will be able to capture it alive.
The swamp was about five miles away from the valley. Ling Xiao buried several golden ambergris evenly along the way and then set them all on fire.
Golden Ambergris emits a faint fragrance that makes people feel refreshed.
Ling Xiao hid beside the swamp, staring at the direction of the golden ambergris.
This time, he not only wants to obtain the Hunyuan Golden Lotus Fire, but also wants to catch the thousand-year-old red clam!
Sure enough, half an incense stick later, there was movement.
In the distance, the thousand-year-old red clam appeared. It was like a flash of red lightning, swallowing the golden dragon's saliva in an instant. Its blood-red eyes actually revealed a hint of human-like intoxication.
Finally, it set its sights on the golden ambergris in the swamp.
The golden ambergris exudes a strange fragrance and sparkles in the sun, as if it has a fatal attraction to the thousand-year-old red clam.
"coming!"
Ling Xiao thought to himself, without blinking.
Swish!
A shadow flashed by, and the Millennium Red Clam instantly rushed to the center of the swamp, then rolled up its long tongue, trying to swallow the golden dragon's saliva.
At this moment, something strange happened.
Boom!
The golden ambergris suddenly exploded, and black mud splashed all over the thousand-year-old red clam.
The Millennium Red Clam shuddered all over and wanted to escape.
But it was too late.
In the mud, there seemed to be many tiny silk threads that tightly wrapped around the thousand-year-old red clam, and the more it struggled, the tighter it got.
boom!
The Millennium Red Clam seemed to be angry, and a golden flame suddenly spurted out of its mouth. The surrounding mud fell down, and the silk threads on its body even showed signs of melting.
"As expected of a thousand-year-old red clam, its innate true fire is truly terrifying!"
Ling Xiao admired in his heart, but was not in a hurry. A black vine net flew out from the swamp and directly covered the red clam.
Boom!
The thousand-year-old red clam went completely berserk, and a golden lotus spewed out from its mouth, burning towards the surrounding vine nets. Although the vine nets were made of an extremely strong fire-proof spiritual wood by Ling Xiao, they began to be broken at a speed visible to the naked eye under the burning of the Hunyuan Golden Lotus Fire.
"Now I wonder where you can escape to!"
Ling Xiao laughed loudly. He only needed one step and the Millennium Red Clam and the Hunyuan Golden Lotus Fire would be in his pocket.
whoosh!
Several more black vine nets rushed out from the mud and bound the thousand-year-old red clam tightly like dumplings.
Ling Xiao came out of nowhere, with a flash of light on his fingers, as if countless runes were flashing, and instantly pulled the Hunyuan Golden Lotus Fire over.
Ling Xiao's move was the treasure-gathering technique from the Heaven-Swallowing Secret Art. He snatched the Hunyuan Golden Lotus Fire from the mouth of the thousand-year-old red clam in an instant.
"Quack..."
When the Millennium Red Clam saw the Hunyuan Golden Lotus Fire fall into Ling Xiao's hands, its eyes were filled with anger. It screamed and stared at Ling Xiao.
But the more it struggled, the tighter it was bound. Without the Hunyuan Golden Lotus Fire, the fire in its mouth alone was not enough to break through the black vines.
"Submit to me obediently, or you will suffer more physical pain!"
Ling Xiao said lightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
The thousand-year-old red clam seemed to understand Ling Xiao's words. The hatred in its eyes became more intense, and it kept croaking.
"Hey, it's actually the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire? This time, I'm going to make a fortune!"
At this moment, a shrill voice suddenly rang out.
Several figures walked out from the dense forest in the distance, led by a proud young man who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, with a handsome face. At this moment, he stared at the Hunyuan Golden Lotus Fire in Ling Xiao's hand with glowing eyes.
"Boy, if you obediently give me the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire in your hand, then kneel down and cut off one of your arms, I will spare your life!"
The young man's gaze stayed on the Hunyuan Golden Lotus Fire for a long time before he reluctantly looked away and spoke coldly to Ling Xiao.
"Who are you? Are you trying to rob people?"
Ling Xiao laughed in anger. He had spent so much effort to obtain the Hunyuan Golden Lotus Fire, but in the blink of an eye, someone blindly bumped into him.
"Boy, our young master is Ma Jun, the son of the seventh elder of the Hehuan Sect. If you know what's best for you, hand him over quickly. Otherwise, if you make our young master unhappy, you will die without a burial place!"
The young men beside the boy also looked at Ling Xiao arrogantly.
They all saw that Ling Xiao was only at the Kaimai Realm, while they were all at the Zhenqi Realm. They were all inner disciples of the Hehuan Sect. Ma Jun had even reached the ninth level of the Zhenqi Realm, making him a genius of the Hehuan Sect. This time he was looking for an opportunity to enter the Hualing Realm.
If Ma Jun could refine this Hunyuan Golden Lotus Fire, he might be able to use it to enter the Spirit Transformation Realm and be promoted to a true disciple!
Thinking of this, the greed on Ma Jun's face became even more intense.
"A disciple of the Hehuan Sect?"
Ling Xiao was slightly stunned. The Hehuan Sect, the Tianmo Palace and the Changsheng Sect were the three major sects within a thousand miles. The Hehuan Sect and the Tianmo Palace had a good relationship. They usually suppressed the Changsheng Sect and killed many of its disciples.
Whenever disciples of the two sects meet, they almost always draw their swords against each other, and this situation has been getting more and more serious in recent years.
However, the Changsheng Sect is the weakest among the three major sects, and many of its disciples have died at the hands of the Hehuan Sect’s disciples.
Seeing Ling Xiao's stunned look, the Hehuan Sect's disciples thought that Ling Xiao was afraid, and the arrogance in their eyes became even stronger.
"Boy, are you scared? Judging from your aura, you shouldn't be from the Heavenly Demon Palace. Could it be from the Longevity Sect? Hehe, Master, if we catch this boy and make him a drug slave like those disciples of the Longevity Sect, the elders will definitely like him!"
Those disciples all smiled with ill intentions.
