Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 165 Beast Pill

This place is quite large; finding the location where the elixir is sealed will not be an easy task.

Guan Xun tilted his head slightly, sensing everything around him, but he couldn't detect anything at all.

Such a vast expanse of land showed absolutely no energy fluctuations.

Slightly puzzled, she glanced around and walked straight toward the nearest crack.

Stepping onto the edge, she looked down and her eyes lit up with surprise.

They found it so easily?!

At the very center of the crack, at its deepest point, a bluish-gray bronze box was suspended.

It's incredibly old, clearly showing the passage of time; it must be a miraculous elixir, after all.

Guan Xun immediately leaped down the crevice and rushed towards the box.

The suspended box rises and falls, just like it's floating on water, but the movement is so small that it's hard to spot without careful observation.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, examining it with an inquisitive look before tentatively reaching out to support its underside.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong, he grabbed it.

The box felt just like any other box, except that the moment she touched it, a golden light suddenly flashed across its surface.

Immediately afterwards, countless tiny and chaotic spell patterns began to swirl around it.

Guan Xun was secretly alarmed and quickly let go of his hand.

Once the box was no longer touched, it returned to its original state.

Were those patterns the seal?

Thinking about it this way, she realized she had forgotten to ask the clan leader how to break the seal.

Guan Xun stroked his chin, then looked back at the entrance in the distance. Without much thought, he tiptoed back to the edge of the crack and quickly darted towards the entrance.

At this moment, outside the entrance, the crowd stared at the entrance with curiosity and fear, not daring to miss the slightest movement.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive, and no one dared to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the clan leader's mind.

Just then, a hand peeked out from the entrance, and a head popped out.

"Chieftain, how do we break the seal?"

The sudden commotion startled the clan leader, causing his tense mind to waver and the spiritual energy he was channeling to become unstable, with the entrance seemingly about to close.

Fortunately, he recovered in time and took a deep breath to calm himself down: "I forgot about such an important matter. Just take a drop of blood from the heart meridian."

It turned out to be the case.

Guan Xun didn't dare to delay and immediately retreated.

The ten fingers are connected to the heart, and the Heart Meridian happens to connect to the little finger.

Guan Xun approached the box again, his aura instantly surging, and the four attributes around him rose simultaneously, then quickly merged into a glass-like color.

Outside the glassy spiritual power, there was a thin layer of dark flame, which greatly reduced the probability that even the most domineering energy ripples could harm her.

After preparing, Guan Xun held the bottom of the box with her hand, and as the incantation runes swirled out, she immediately dripped her blood onto it.

The moment the blood droplet fell onto the surface of the box, it turned into a small mist of blood, slowly swirling around the incantation patterns. As the speed gradually increased, the box began to shake incessantly.

Guan Xun frowned, quickly released his grip, and stepped back.

These signs are likely to cause an uproar.

The thought had barely crossed my mind when I heard a loud bang.

The explosion echoed in the void for a long time, and the golden light that burst forth illuminated almost the entire earth for several breaths.

The commotion was quite loud, and those outside the entrance naturally heard it all.

They looked at each other, wondering if this was a failure or a success.

The clan leader's face grew increasingly solemn. The method for breaking the seal on the elixir had always been passed down from clan leader to clan leader, and no one had ever tried it, so its authenticity was unknown.

He felt his arms jolted when the explosion happened.

Chi Rong didn't make any big moves. If its master were in trouble, it would sense it immediately. Now everything is fine.

It stared intently at the clan leader, knowing that if the old man couldn't hold on any longer, it would have to immediately prop up the entrance.

Inside the Netherworld Valley.

Guan Xun placed the back of her hand on her brow, her eyes lowered. The dazzling golden light was too blinding, and she didn't dare to look in that direction.

The moment the seal broke, it generated a tremendous force that pushed her backward quite a distance.

The golden light flashed for only a moment, and after it faded, crimson followed, turning the black soil of the earth red.

At the same time, an extremely terrifying high temperature instantly filled the entire space.

The flames that Guan Xun had previously tossed onto the ground for illumination suddenly seemed to have been uprooted and sped rapidly toward the source of the crimson light.

What shocked her even more was that the dark flames protecting her body were also forcibly absorbed uncontrollably, and no matter how hard she tried to control them, it was to no avail.

This is an undying fire!

There's something that can actually affect it?!

Before the shock could subside, a powerful and familiar sense of oppression instantly washed over them.

This is......

Guan Xun's heart pounded. She lowered her hand and looked at the source of the crimson red with her pupils slightly contracted.

A ball of orange-red flame hovered in front, burning fiercely, and within its center was a dark red bead covered with unidentified patterns.

Beast Core!

She was absolutely certain that this was the beast core of an ancient Fiery Phoenix, enveloped in the Undying Flame!

Guan Xun was overjoyed, never expecting that the elixir they were so wary of was the very beast core she had been searching for.

The undying flame enveloping it was even more domineering than the one she devoured; no wonder her own was forcibly absorbed...

Suppressing his excitement, Guan Xun moved closer step by step, going against the energy ripples emitted by the beast core.

It seems that because her body contained essence blood and part of the Undying Flame, the Beast Core and the flame did not excessively reject her; on the contrary, they subtly absorbed her past.

It was as if they wanted to merge her into one with them.

The scorching heat caused a few beads of sweat to appear on Guan Xun's forehead. She took a step forward and finally stood still in front of the Undying Flame.

Immediately afterward, he stretched out his five fingers, and crimson flames surged from his palm, but were forcibly absorbed the moment they appeared.

Guan Xun: ...

This isn't a solution either. Without the protection of the Dark Flame, how could she possibly get through the Undying Flame to obtain the Beast Core?

After pondering for a moment, Guan Xun took a deep breath, his gaze passing through the fiercely burning Undying Flame and landing directly on the beast core in the middle. Seeing the messy patterns covering it, a hint of suspicion appeared in his eyes.

The Undying Flame and her Dark Flame, being from the same source of fire, shouldn't have such a vastly different and oppressive relationship.

If it's not a problem with the flames, then it can only be due to the influence of the beast core.

The more she looked at this beast core, the more she felt something was wrong.

It has many more patterns than ordinary beast pills, and there are also strands of red silk threads floating on the inside.

Guan Xun narrowed his eyes, observed carefully, and then was greatly surprised, a look of horror flashing in his eyes.

The inside was actually blood. Blood that could survive in the Undying Flame could only be the essence blood of the ancient Fiery Phoenix itself.

The entire beast core was filled with essence blood, and the quantity was extremely large and concentrated!

hiss……

Guan Xun couldn't help but gasp. The person who dug up the ancient Fierce Phoenix Beast Core and forcibly fused its essence with it was truly remarkable, managing to mix the three together.

But what's the point of doing this?

She shook her head slightly, clearing her mind of all thoughts. A surge of greed welled up within her, and her spiritual energy instantly increased several times over.

Whatever the reason, this thing is now hers.
