Chapter 114: The Evil Monk's Scheme of Earthly Lung Yin Fire

  "Can you confirm?" Wang Guang furrowed his brow and stared at the evil monk: "How did you determine that?"

  "Haha! Didn't I say so? Everyone has their own destiny, just because you can't get the benefits doesn't mean I won't. My Taoist name is Jintop Ancient Buddha, and this name was obtained from the ancient ruins of the Buddhist sect. You really think I got it casually?

  The evil monk shook his head and smiled strangely: "It's a pity that the opportunity here has been taken by the young master of the Luo family. Otherwise, getting the method of the ancient Qi practitioner would be easy, and condensing the golden elixir would be no problem at all."

  Looking around at the dilapidated bookshelves and the grid on the walls, Wang Guang couldn't help but feel envious of the evil monk and Luo's practitioners. "Infinite Heaven! Opportunity! Opportunity! Why didn't I encounter it? Even if he really obtained the ancient practitioner's method, I would still kill him." The more he thought about it, the more resentful he became, his ferocious face making the other few practitioners somewhat uncomfortable.

  "What are you still dazed about? Hurry up and see if there's anything good left behind, check if there's any hidden compartment or something." The only woman stretched out her hand to recall the compass, and was the first to pounce on the surrounding bookshelves. Wang Guang only reacted now, and casually chose a bookshelf to rush over and examine.

  There were books written on stone tablets, bamboo slips and animal skins on the bookshelves. Most of the bamboo slips and animal skins had turned to dust, while the intact ones turned into flying ash in the blink of an eye after being touched by the Taoist. The few remaining stone tablets also had their inscriptions destroyed by someone. After checking more than a dozen bookshelves, they all ended up like this.

  "What a joke! The Ancient Cultivation Method? Haha! I think only the first person who came in has a chance to get it." Wang Guang saw that he had no gains and suddenly became extremely angry. In his anxious state, he pulled out the Wan Xiu Long Fan and shook it.

  Columns of black smoke rose into the sky, and gusts of dark wind swept across the ground. In an instant, bookshelves collapsed, and stone kiosks shattered. Bookshelves collapsed, sending dust flying everywhere, while stone kiosks shattered, with broken stones splashing out in all directions.

  The evil monks and other practitioners also gained nothing, resenting others for ruining the characters on the stone slab, so they all followed Wang Guang's example. Each of them used their own methods to toss the secret room into a mess that was beyond recognition.

  After a good deal of commotion, the crowd finally calmed down somewhat. With no harvest in sight, everyone's gaze fell upon the bronze tripod at the center of the stone chamber.

  The bronze cauldron continuously spewed out black flames. As the distance drew near, I couldn't feel any heat from the flames. Wang Guang casually picked up a rock and threw it into the flames, but the flames rotated and didn't harm the boulder in the slightest.

  Another piece of metal was grabbed and thrown in, the flames turned again, and a fist-sized piece of metal was vaporized by this black flame in the blink of an eye.

  "The boundless heavenly lord, this is the earthly lung's yin fire." Wang Guang looked at the flames spouting out of the copper cauldron with a joyful expression. "No treasure was obtained, no skills were gained, but being able to gather some earthly lung's yin fire makes this trip not in vain." Thinking about the benefits brought by the earthly lung's yin fire, he couldn't help but laugh.

  "Is it the terrestrial lung's yin fire?" The evil monk beside him saw Wang Guang laugh maniacally without stopping. He carefully observed the flames for a long time before hesitantly asking Wang Guang.

  "Indeed!" The Taoist pointed at the bronze cauldron and said, "I don't even know what metal this thing is made of, yet it can withstand the scorching of the earth's lung fire, making it a treasure."

  "What is terrestrial lung fire?" A female practitioner of Qi Gong next to him looked at Wang Guang with a puzzled expression and asked.

  Wang Guang hesitated for a moment, considering that he was asking the other party to teach him the method of calculation, so he replied: "The earth lung fire is what the ancient practitioners discovered and began to use. As the saying goes, 'let the lungs be free', this land also has lungs. The accumulation of mountains and rocks, the twisting of rock layers, forms the lungs. Those lungs move, and fire energy is born. This fire energy can burn gold and wood, cook sea water and scorch people, but it really can't burn stone. A ball of earth lung fire, even if it leaves the land lung, can still burn in mid-air for thousands of years. If there is fuel added, it can extend the time. It can be said that this thing burns more and more fiercely, and once it gets on your body, it's extremely difficult to escape."

  "Can it be collected with jade stone?" A practitioner of Qi suddenly took out a large pile of bottles and jars from somewhere and placed them in front of him, seemingly having an idea about the earth lung yin fire.

  "Jade is also stone, why can't it? Just use the best one." Wang Guang swallowed his saliva with difficulty. Just now he was watching the flames spouting out of the copper cauldron again, estimating that there were only so many flames, so he thought to take some away first.

  "Everyone, I'm going to use this Flame Refining method to forge a treasure. You can take some first. Don't cut off the roots." Wang Guang spat out red copper sand in front of him and rotated it, preparing to execute his plan.

  Several practitioners responded without complaint, only to use their methods to grab the flames. However, neither Taoist magic nor divine power, nor any other extraordinary skills or special treasures could take away a single spark from the copper cauldron. As a result, the crowd of people surrounded the copper cauldron in a flurry, scratching their ears and cheeks in frustration.

  "Make way, make way, and watch the poor monk's skills." The evil monk jumped to the front of the copper cauldron and displayed his skills. Only to see this big monk sitting cross-legged on the ground reciting Buddhist scriptures, a circle of golden light floated from behind his head, in just seven or eight breaths, the golden light behind his head suddenly expanded to three feet in diameter, with seven or eight golden human shadows inside also reciting Buddhist scriptures.

  "Baby, come back quickly." The evil monk suddenly opened his eyes and shouted. Following his shout, the seven or eight people in the golden light behind him suddenly jumped up, only to see them throw out a golden chain that broke through space and wrapped around a fist-sized flame, pulling it into the golden light in an instant.

  "This place is the earth lung, with countless yin fires. Be extremely careful." The evil monk's face turned ugly as he roared after absorbing that cluster of yin fire into the golden light at the back of his head. It was seen that the golden light behind his head was turbulent, and a virtual shadow jumped into the flames, sitting cross-legged and reciting strange scriptures to suppress the yin fire.

  "What a great ancient qigong master, he actually has the ability to set up a secret room in the earth lung, it's really a big deal." After hearing the evil monk's shout, Wang Guang admired the person who built the secret room.

  The evil monk sat on the ground, moving his Buddhist gate to suppress the yin fire behind his brain. The other practitioners had no way to take away the flames, so he thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "You all wait for a while, I'll refine my treasure first, then use the secret method to extract the flames for you, hoping everyone won't be impatient."

  The other practitioners were delighted when they heard this, and one by one, they nodded their heads wildly on the side without saying a word, afraid of disturbing Wang Guang.

  。

  Seeing these practitioners being self-aware, Wang Guang didn't delay any longer and pointed at the red copper sand with his hand. In an instant, the cluster of red copper sand floated above the ground's Yin fire. The sound of crackling and popping was incessant, as the copper sand transformed into a grinding disc shape, suddenly expanding and then shrinking again. The fist-sized copper sand began to shrink frantically.

  When the Yin fire burned the copper sand, Wang Guang only felt that he was having more and more difficulty controlling the copper sand. However, he wasn't worried and let the Yin fire burn for three to five breaths before using his Fa jue to separate the copper sand from the Yin fire.

  A one-zhang-sized grinding disc rotated non-stop, and every time the copper sand turned a circle, the attached yin fire decreased by a fraction. After rotating hundreds of times, the yin fire completely disappeared without a trace, while the one-zhang-diameter copper sand grinding disc suddenly expanded by three to five circles.

  Copper sand flows and collides, crackling sounds echo continuously. A layer of dark gray flames burns on the copper sand, and everyone feels the heat waves rolling in. If they hadn't each employed their own techniques, the heat alone would have been enough to scorch their hair and clothes.

  "Boundless Heavenly Venerable!" Seeing the increase in his copper sand's power, Wang Guang was overjoyed. This guy didn't rest either, and with one breath, he repeatedly tempered the copper sand dozens of times. Only when the copper sand burned with black flames and no longer emitted any heat did he stop.

  The crowd had long been waiting anxiously on one side, but didn't dare interrupt. Now seeing Wang Guang finish his work, they all rushed over in a swarm.

  "Friend of the Tao, can you help me get some flames to play with?" The woman stepped forward excitedly.

  "You stand by, get the things ready, I'll take them out for you." With that, Wang Guang threw the red copper into the earth lung yin fire again. The copper sand rotated and the earth lung yin fire burned the copper sand at this time. Let the copper sand roll out with seven or eight brain-sized flames.

  The cultivators who were watching all put down the prepared objects and looked at the flame falling into the jade bottle with tense faces, only relaxing after it did.

  "Is everyone satisfied with the boundless heavenly lord?" Wang Guang casually pointed to the unrelenting earth lung fire and said, "If not, I'll prepare some more for you."

  "Satisfied, if there's more, I'll be anxious in my heart. Good things can't be greedy, it's better to avoid mistakes when the time comes." A female practitioner next to him frowned and fiddled with the compass in her hand before quietly refusing Wang Guang's kindness. The other practitioners didn't refuse, they thickened their skin and put all the bottles and jars on them on the ground, letting Wang Guang fill them up.

  "What's the use of having so many things? Just leave some as kindling, and when you want more, just take more. Why bother like this now?" Just then, the evil monk suppressed the fire in his brain, jumped up from the ground, and looked at those cultivators with disdain.

  "Haha! Ancient Buddha, you don't know that we can prepare more of these and when the time comes to fight with others, casually throwing one out will absolutely be beyond everyone's expectations. Moreover, this earth lung fire is so precious, compared to ordinary gold and wood which cannot nourish it, in this way, cultivating the fire seed will take who knows how many days." A cultivator retorted against the evil monk.

  Wang Guang listened quietly with a smile, not saying a word. He accepted the crimson copper sand for two reasons: one was to temper his family's treasure, and the other was because he had seen a type of dark thunder in his sect that required various materials to refine, unlike his own One Qi Dark Thunder which only needed spiritual power to condense. This earth lung yin fire was the most crucial material for refining that dark thunder.

  "It's a good thing there are fellow Taoists around, otherwise we wouldn't be able to collect these evil fires." A female Qi practitioner standing nearby saw the evil monk being refuted and became somewhat annoyed, so she hastily interrupted and asked Wang Guangdao: "This yin fire can burn gold and wood, why can't it burn your treasure? I think your treasure is made of red copper sand, right?"
