In the forest, Cang Yun held his breath and hid behind the ancient tree. He was like an ordinary rock, completely unperturbed.

It was only when the fire snake's figure had disappeared into the distance and was certain that there was no danger, that he carefully walked out …

"Phew, that was too dangerous."

Cang Yun let out a breath, his palms were covered in sweat. The Star Puppet had already run far away, but it was still affected by the Fire Serpent's Qi. If he were to run away by himself, the consequences would be unimaginable. Moreover, if not for the Star Puppet's attraction, he wouldn't be able to hide that far away and would definitely have been discovered by the fire serpents.

At this moment, he finally understood that letting his Star Puppet escape to attract more firepower was the right decision.

"Hey!"

However, just as Cang Yun was about to escape in fright, a gigantic crimson body suddenly attracted his attention.

That was … Firebird!

Cang Yun's eyes flashed as he looked at the Fire Bird's corpse that no longer moved. After pondering for a moment, he slowly walked over.

In the next moment, Cang Yun's heartbeat quickened as he rubbed his chin, "A Fire Bird's corpse, this is a treasure, especially that blood essence. It's priceless and can be used to refine pills, with endless uses …"

Cang Yun was overjoyed. He had picked up a treasure this time.

"Eh, that's not right!"

However, just as Cang Yun was about to put the Fire Bird's corpse into his spatial ring, he was suddenly startled. There was actually a trace of life left on the Fire Bird's body!

Cang Yun retreated into the distance with a swoosh, ready for battle.

If a Spiritual Beast of this level did not die, it would be a fatal threat to him!

However, after half a day, the Fire Bird still did not move at all …

"This... "Could it be …"

Cang Yun's eyes lit up. An indescribable excitement suddenly rose in his heart like a blazing flame.

"This Fire Bird only has one last breath left … I, have picked up a treasure! "

Cang Yun mumbled to himself, and was stunned for a moment. Such a huge pie had completely knocked him out.

Originally, it didn't matter whether the spirit beast died or only had one breath left. But in this space, it was completely different, because... If you kill a living spirit beast, you can obtain the Immortal Yang Sword Token!

And with such a powerful fire bird, how rich would the Immortal Yang Sword Token in its body be!

"Calm down, calm down!"

Cang Yun took a few deep breaths, trying his best to calm his agitated heart. Right now was not the time to be complacent, he had to take advantage of the Fire Bird's last breath and kill it, and the threat of the fire snake was still there. He had to leave this place as soon as possible!

Cang Yun took out his short sword, and with a whistling sound, he stabbed out with all his might!

Puff!

The Fire Bird, who was already at its last breath, was naturally unable to resist. It was directly pierced through by the sword, extinguishing all of its life force.

Weng! *

In that instant, a boundless divine light radiated out as numerous Immortal Yang sword tokens appeared. They were like a resplendent ocean, enveloping the azure clouds within.

The Immortal Yang Sword Medallion that the Fire Bird contained was simply inestimably rich!

It took a full ten breaths of time before all the sword commands transformed into small swords that were as small as silver needles and were carved on Cang Yun's arm.

After doing all of this, Cang Yun didn't have time to examine it carefully. He put the Fire Bird's corpse into his storage ring, and without looking back, he quickly rushed out of the mountain.

He could imagine the wrath these fire serpents had after returning. If they continued to stay in this mountain, they would simply be courting death.

He ran madly all the way and did not stop. He flew out of the mountain and ran for hundreds of kilometers in a single breath. Only when all the Origin Energy in his body was exhausted did he finally stop.

Spreading out his Spirit Energy, Cang Yun sat down on the ground after he confirmed that there was no danger around him.

"After running so far, even if Flame Serpent had the ability to communicate with the world, it would still be impossible to track it …"

Cang Yun let out a long sigh of relief, sat down cross-legged and began to meditate. After half a day, he finally completely recovered, and this was his most crazy attempt. In order to escape, there was not a single trace of Origin Energy left in his body.

However, after such a high intensity consumption, he could clearly feel the increase in his body's Origin Energy, and his cultivation had also increased by a level.

In the next moment, Cang Yun withdrew his mental power and formed a barrier around his body. He then took out the medicine box containing the red lotus from his storage ring.

This medicine box was not ordinary. It was something that Cang Yun had specially prepared for this time's Immortal Yang Secret Realm Trial. Now, it just so happened to be useful.

When he sensed that there was not a single drop of fire lotus medicinal strength flowing around the medicinal box, Cang Yun nodded his head in satisfaction. This treasure was far too valuable.

Cang Yun took a deep breath and opened the medicine box.

A bright red glow instantly emanated from it. It was a dazzling, fiery red.

Cang Yun's mind stirred as he watched. This red lotus quietly lay inside the medicine box. Every lotus petal seemed to be carved from a red crystal. The lines on its surface were clear and had a faint halo of light circulating around it.

Its roots were sparkling and translucent like jade, seemingly complete and without any impurities. This object also contained its medicinal properties, making it extremely valuable.

However, what attracted Cang Yun's attention was at the center of the flower petal, the green lotus pedestal, and the crystal clear lotus seeds that emitted an alluring aura.

These lotus seeds were the essence of the entire fire lotus. They contained a massive amount of pure energy. Whether it was used to refine medicine or directly consumed, it could increase one's cultivation.

There were a total of 18 lotus seeds. Each lotus seed was extremely plump. It was evident that they had matured and contained the greatest amount of energy.

"Now, I can finally raise my strength again …"

Cang Yun gently took a lotus seed from the lotus seat and carefully sealed the entire fire lotus.

Although this fire lotus was a treasure, its roots and petals were of greater medicinal value. If it was used to raise one's cultivation directly, the lotus seed was the most suitable.

In the next moment, Cang Yun put away the medicine box into his storage ring. He did not rush to take the lotus seed, but rather started to circulate the 'True Dragon Tactics of the Heavenly Mantra' first.

The Origin Energy slowly circulated according to the circulation path in his body. Only when his Qi had completely stabilized did everything become prepared.

With a thought, Cang Yun placed the lotus seed into his mouth.

Once the lotus seed entered his mouth, it immediately turned into a wave of pure positive Origin Energy.

This feeling was akin to swallowing a large mouthful of magma. The only difference was that this magma was extremely gentle and there was not the slightest trace of irritation.

Even so, the heat was unbearable!

The surface of Cang Yun's skin suddenly turned red like fire.

His meridians were also bulging due to the huge amount of Origin Energy, and within them, a fiery red light also flickered.

The medicinal strength of this fire lotus was both pure and majestic.

"Buzz buzz …!"

Cang Yun crazily circulated the "True Dragon Tactics of the Heavens", directing the pure yang energy of the lotus seed, and gradually circulated it within his meridians.

At this time, Cang Yun was like a furnace. And within the furnace, the positive force of the lotus seed was like a blazing flame. It blazed fiercely within the furnace, grilling and polishing the furnace's walls.

Originally, Cang Yun only needed to open his pores to greatly reduce the positive energy in his body, like a furnace opening its lid. However, he did not do so because he could feel that after the refinement of the lotus seed energy, his body and meridians were constantly increasing.

Such opportunities like these could only be found but not sought after. If he were to give up, it would simply be a waste of the heaven's treasures. So, no matter how uncomfortable it was, as long as there wasn't too much danger, Cang Yun would not give up.

The burning pain in Cang Yun's meridians made the corner of his mouth twitch. He clenched his fists but did not dare to move. He could only continue to silently circulate his cultivation technique as he endured this pain.

After an unknown amount of time, the scorching energy within his body finally began to calm down. Cang Yun's aura became much stronger and a layer of greasy substance appeared around his body. Clearly, washing his essence and marrow had a certain amount of effect.

However, this was still not enough!

Cang Yun knew that in the process of washing essence and marrow, it was necessary to do it in one go. Once it was exhausted, it would be impossible to get rid of the remaining impurities.

Thus, as Cang Yun controlled the circulation of his cultivation method, he took out the fire lotus medicine box and took out a handful of lotus seeds. There were a total of nine lotus seeds.

Originally, a heavenly material like the fire lotus seed contained a tremendous amount of energy. Even a Nihility God Stage expert would not be able to absorb so much in one go.

However, his current situation was different. The energy of the fire lotus had triggered the changes in his body, and this process was no longer purely a matter of raising his cultivation level.

Cang Yun flicked his finger and another lotus seed appeared in his mouth.

In an instant, the pure energy spread throughout his body, most of it was absorbed by Cang Yun's meridians, blood, flesh, and bones. Only an extremely small amount of it could flow into his dantian.

The process of washing the marrow continued... Cang Yun could clearly feel that his body was still rapidly strengthening, and inside it, he could faintly feel a sense of extreme hunger and thirst.

This feeling caused Cang Yun to pause for a moment. Then, his expression turned serious as he directly swallowed the remaining eight lotus seeds in his hand.

BOOM!

In the blink of an eye, the inexhaustible heat flowed like a flood, madly accumulating within Cang Yun's body. The scorching energy roasted Cang Yun until his entire body turned red.

On the surface of his skin, there were even faint traces of burning flames. In an instant, the green robe on his body was burnt and destroyed. A dense layer of fire could be seen faintly on the surface of his bare skin.

Cang Yun's entire body trembled. Endless heat gushed out from all of his blood orifices and pores, and a faint trace of blood was mixed within. At this moment, Cang Yun's entire body was covered in a layer of blood fog, making him look like a cocoon.

Cang Yun gritted his teeth. He could feel that his consciousness was gradually leaving his body. He could only hold on to the last bit of clarity in his mind and not destroy it.

Thus, time slowly flowed by. It was unknown how long it took until he felt the heat in his body gradually dissipating and a cooling sensation that he hadn't felt in a long time appear in his heart. Only then did his consciousness gradually clear up …
