The content of the message was not a request for help, but a report to him that a treasure had appeared in the Flaming Mountain.
Xu Baixian and the other two also hired people to collect the immortal stones, and then went to explore the Flame Mountain themselves.
Whether it is the Bone-Eroding Fruit or other fire-attributed treasures, they can be sold for a good price when brought back to the Starry Continent.
There are also the horns of the black magic bull, which are all good things.
Moreover, these items can be put into storage bags and are easy to carry. If you are unable to bring back a large number of fairy stones, you can also make some money by collecting more "specialties".
However, these three people only have the foundation-building cultivation level, and they dare not purchase supplies as ostentatiously as he does. Otherwise, there is no need to take the risk themselves. They can just trade with spirit stones, which are also a scarce resource here.
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin set off for Huoyan Mountain.
According to Xu Baixian, there is a crack in the center of the Flaming Mountain, revealing a small tree that also looks like a bone-eroding tree, but the leaves on it are flames, and there is a fruit on the top that keeps changing its shape, like a living thing.
If what the other party said is true, then the tree must be old enough and has begun to transform into a spirit.
Any natural treasure, as long as it reaches the level of spiritualization, is a peerless treasure. Whether used for alchemy or other purposes, it is infinitely miraculous. He cannot miss such an opportunity.
When he flew to the edge of the mountain range, Chen Lin saw countless figures flying into the mountain, and it was obvious that they had all received the information.
He did not delay any longer and immediately used the Fire Escape Technique, drawing a line of fire above the flames and shooting towards the depths of the mountains.
On the way, two ignorant beasts tried to attack him, but they were killed by the Soul-Destroying Finger.
Chen Lin flew in the direction of the other figures, and soon he saw the small tree that Xu Baixian mentioned from high in the sky.
This thing is really eye-catching.
The location where it was located was originally the highest peak in the mountain range. At this moment, the top of the peak was cracked in the middle, and Xiaoshu was in the crack. The golden light emitted from it could not even cover up the flames.
When he was almost there, Chen Lin used all his eyesight and saw a golden ball growing on the small tree. Its shape changed into a fruit for a moment, and then into a hazy human shape. It seemed that it was not yet fully mature.
He looked around again and saw that no one was approaching the small tree. The few figures he saw were watching from afar, some on the ground, and some floating in the air like him.
The temperature in the sky is higher than that on the ground. Most people cannot resist anger at all. Those who dare to do so are not weak.
Chen Lin's eyes flashed slightly, but he did not act rashly.
He patrolled at a low altitude, found Xu Baixian and the other two according to the direction stated in the communication talisman, and then landed beside them.
"Hello, senior!"
Seeing Chen Lin, the three of them hurriedly greeted him.
"No need to be so polite. What's going on now? Why is no one doing anything?"
The three of them were a little far away from the small tree and were already on the mountain next to it. There were not many people around, so Chen Lin asked directly.
Although the spiritual object has not yet taken shape, its effect is much stronger than that of ordinary bone-eroding fruit. In a situation where one is surrounded by wolves, there must be people who can't help but take action in advance.
Moreover, once a spiritual creature is formed, it will have special abilities, and it may even run away.
"Reporting to the senior, some people did try to pick them before, but they were all burned to ashes by the flames that turned from the leaves."
Xu Baixian answered immediately.
Ever since Chen Lin revealed that he knew Xu Baixian's father and Tan Tai Yunjin, he was the one who dealt with the trio whenever they faced Chen Lin.
"oh?"
Chen Lin showed a look of surprise and turned his gaze towards the small tree again.
Generally speaking, such treasures will attract some monsters. After fighting and elimination, they will be occupied by the strongest one, which is called the guardian beast.
But this small tree emerged from the mountain, and he thought there was no guardian beast, so everyone snatched it wantonly. He didn't expect that the tree itself was aggressive.
In this case, it might be a bit troublesome to pick the spiritual fruit.
"You three can't participate in such an occasion. If you are not careful, you will lose your lives. It is better to return to Lujiao City."
Chen Lin looked for a while and felt that there were many powerful people hidden in the surrounding mountains, so he spoke to the three people.
The three of them had no intention of joining the fight, otherwise they would not have stayed so far away. Upon hearing this, they immediately agreed and headed down the mountain.
Chen Lin looked around, then flew towards the mountain where the small tree was.
"Hey, this brother is from that tribe, he looks unfamiliar!"
Chen Lin landed on an open space without any fire. There were already two people there, both of whom were at the Jindan level.
As soon as he landed, a short-haired man with a circle of animal bones hanging on his neck spoke in a muffled voice.
Another red-faced old man also looked at him with scrutiny.
Chen Lin laughed and said, "I am from the Kaiyuan tribe, which is quite far from here. It is normal that you two have not seen me."
"Kaiyuan Tribe?"
The short-haired man looked puzzled. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of where such a tribe existed. He shook his head and said nothing more.
Although his cultivation had reached the Golden Core Stage, he could not say that he had heard of all the names of the tribes, and he had no idea of Chen Lin's strength, so even though he had doubts in his heart, he did not pursue the matter further.
At this time, the red-faced old man said, "Does this brother also want to fight for this ten thousand year old fruit spirit?"
Chen Lin's eyes flashed, and he said, "Is this thing called the Wannian Fruit Spirit? I just happened to pass by that Lujiao City, and heard that a strange thing appeared here, so I came to take a look."
Then he said, "I am unfamiliar with this thing. You two must be from the local tribe. Can you tell me what this thing is used for and why so many people are fighting for it?"
The reason why he stayed with these two people was that he wanted to get to know them better.
The old man and the short-haired man looked at each other and felt that Chen Lin was a little too self-satisfied.
Everyone came here to snatch the treasure, and they were in competition. They might even fight to the death in a while. But the other party actually asked them for information about the treasure.
After looking at each other, both of them shook their heads, looking as if they didn't know.
Chen Lin still smiled slightly when he saw this, and then suddenly pointed his finger, the target was exactly the red-faced old man.
The old man fell to the ground before he even had time to react!
This action frightened the short-haired man next to him. He wanted to take out his life-saving magic weapon, but he suppressed the thought forcibly.
Then he said dryly, "What do you mean, sir? We have not offended you, nor do we mean to harm you. If you don't like us being an eyesore here, I will leave now."
The old man was stronger than him, but he was knocked down by the other person with just one move. How could he resist? So he simply gave in.
He who knows the times is a hero. He has lived for so long that he understands this truth very well.
"Don't worry, he's not dead yet. I just don't think he's as open as you are. It's hard to ask questions with him around. Now, you should know what the spiritual fruit is and what it does, right?"
Chen Lin waved his hand and grabbed the old man in his hand, first sealing the other's magic power and soul, then looked at the short-haired man.
The short-haired man looked at the old man whose life or death was unknown and completely gave up the idea of resisting.
But he was also very confused. With the other party's strength, he must have practiced for countless years. How could he not know the situation of the fruit spirit
The bone-eating tree is a specialty of this continent and can be found everywhere!
unless.
There was a hint of surprise in the short-haired man's eyes, but it disappeared immediately.
It doesn't matter to him where the other party comes from, so it's better to stay as far away from such an evil star as possible.
"Reporting to the Lord, the age of the Bone-Eroding Tree can be determined by the changes in its internal growth rings. Whether in this mountain or other areas suitable for the growth of this tree, we often see trees that are thousands of years old, and even trees that are more than nine thousand years old can occasionally be seen, but there has never been a tree that is ten thousand years old."
The short-haired man began to explain.
"According to the records in the ancient ruins, this kind of tree has a limited lifespan. It will die naturally when it reaches ten thousand years old, but there is also a very small chance that it will be reborn in Nirvana. Once reborn, it will become a spirit. If it is refined by a cultivator, it can temper the body and become a fire spirit body, gaining wonderful fire-attributed magical powers. I don't know if it has any other magical uses."
He gave a very comprehensive introduction, fearing that Chen Lin would become unhappy and kill him as well.
Chen Lin was a little disappointed when he heard this.
The body of a fire spirit is indeed good, but his major practice is thunder-attributed martial arts. Now that the martial arts has been finalized, it is impossible for him to switch to fire-attributed martial arts. Moreover, he cannot give up martial arts such as the Nine Changes of Heavenly Thunder.
But if it is only used to temper the body and improve the body-refining skills, it would be too wasteful and a sheer dissipation of God's gift.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
He can't use this thing, but Luo Qinglan might be able to use it. The other party's divine phoenix body has a fire attribute talent, and he also practices fire attribute skills, which is a perfect match.
Moreover, he was just thinking about what to give Luo Qinglan as a gift after meeting her. After not seeing each other for so many years, it would be a shame to go back empty-handed. This gift was just the right gift for him.
In this case, this treasure must be obtained!
"Well, since you are still honest, I will let you go today and take him away!"
Chen Lin untied the old man's seal and handed the person over to him.
He was not afraid of the other party's revenge. He did not take a mere Jindan early stage cultivator seriously, and the other party probably did not have the courage to do so.
Moreover, after he got the treasure, he would leave this place and go to the secret place in Qingshan Cliff to take a look.
The short-haired man acted as if he had heard of an amnesty. He hurriedly carried the old man on his back and left in a hurry.
Just as Chen Lin had thought, these two people had no desire for revenge, and they didn't even have the courage to stay nearby. After returning, they took their tribe and moved elsewhere.
The two had just left and Chen Lin was about to find other people to ask about the situation when he saw the leaves of the small tree suddenly burst into flames.
Then the fruit fell off and turned into a beam of fire that shot away into the distance!
