Chapter 515 The Evolution of Xu Chen and Xu Qiufeng’s Gold Finger

Cold, bone-chilling cold.

This was everyone's first reaction upon entering the Secret Realm.

In the entire Tian Yuan World, there was no place colder than this.

Looking around, all they could see was white, and large snowflakes kept drifting down from the sky.

One must know that they were all Saint Realm powerhouses; for them to feel so cold, it wasn't just about low temperature, but definitely caused by some special existence.

Therefore, people had always suspected that there must be some powerful secret treasure in this Icefire Secret Realm, which was also one of the reasons why many powerhouses entered the Secret Realm.

"Such pure ice-attribute spiritual energy."

Xu Qiufeng directly opened his mouth and inhaled fiercely.

"Whoosh…"

In an instant, all the surrounding spiritual energy surged towards him, actually forming a small vortex.

After only a moment, Xu Qiufeng stopped, still feeling as if he hadn't had enough.

His Golden Finger was Devour and Grow Stronger, and this talent was constantly improving.

At first, he could only consume pills and spiritual herbs like ordinary people, later he could devour demonic beasts and spiritual beasts, and then he could devour heavenly materials and earthly treasures of various attributes.

Now, he could even directly devour spiritual energy in various forms and convert it for his own use.

His efficiency in devouring and absorbing was extremely high; just that one gulp of spiritual energy he absorbed was almost equivalent to cultivating here in meditation for half a month.

This shows how powerful his Golden Finger was.

"Let's go."

Without time to marvel at the wondrous scene before them, Xu Luo and the other two immediately left. If they were even slightly late, they might encounter other powerhouses.

They came here to search for heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and opportunities, not to fight with people, so they avoided such things whenever possible.

After traveling for a million li, Xu Chen said, "There's a large pit ahead."

This large pit had a diameter of at least a hundred li.

They arrived above the large pit and found that near its surroundings, there were basically no snowflakes; instead, they had all melted into water and flowed into the pit.

In the center of the pit, there was an opening about ten li in diameter. The water flowed into the opening, and at the same time, a continuous stream of white mist drifted out from it.

"This opening leads directly underground. Let's go down first."

After Xu Luo finished speaking, he took the lead and flew down. Xu Chen and Xu Qiufeng also followed closely behind.

The biggest characteristic of the Icefire Secret Realm was that the underground temperature was extremely high, while the ground temperature was very low.

As Xu Luo and the other two descended through the opening, they could clearly perceive the surrounding temperature constantly rising.

It went from very cold to cold, then to normal temperature, soon it started to get hot, and finally it became very hot.

At this point, Xu Luo and the others had reached the underground space. The ground was completely covered in flowing lava. With such temperature and environment, it actually gave them the illusion of being inside a volcano.

"If I hadn't experienced it myself, it would be hard to believe that these two environments, despite being so vastly different, are so close to each other," Xu Qiufeng couldn't help but exclaim.

At the same time, Xu Qiufeng didn't forget to open his mouth and fiercely inhale another gulp of this pure fire-attribute spiritual energy.

As for Xu Chen, he had already begun to use his Qi Observation Technique.

His Qi Observation Technique, like Xu Qiufeng's Devour and Grow Stronger, was also constantly strengthening as his cultivation increased and he used it more often.

At first, he could only see the value of an item, later he could see a person's Luck and strength, and even later he could use it to observe feng shui. Now, he could even choose to directly observe directions.

For example, now, he could use his Qi Observation Technique to see which direction had more valuable treasures and which direction they should choose to explore.

It was as powerful as a treasure-hunting mouse.

Xu Chen and Xu Qiufeng each had their strengths, and Xu Luo was not bad either. As a reborn person, he had coincidentally also visited Seven Kings City in his previous life, and he knew the biggest secret of this Icefire Secret Realm, but now was not the time to explain it.

After a moment, Xu Qiufeng finished absorbing, and Xu Chen also determined the direction. They then left again.

For others, it was aimless treasure hunting; for them, it was like following a navigation system to pick up treasures.

However, not every treasure they encountered could be easily taken directly.

Sometimes they needed to face powerful demonic beasts guarding heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and sometimes they needed to face other treasure-hunting powerhouses.

Fortunately, Xu Luo and the other two were not weak. As long as they didn't encounter too many teams of Saint Realm powerhouses, they had the ability to fight.

But soon, they encountered a problem.

This was a reddish-black demonic beast. It was about thirty zhang long, its head was about a third like a dragon's, its tail was exactly the same as a dragon's tail, its limbs were short and thick, and it had rock-like protruding armor on its back, which had extremely strong defense.

This demonic beast was called the Tuo Dragon Flame Beast and possessed the strength of the early Saint King Realm.

Xu Chen found this place through his Qi Observation Technique and discovered that there were some Fire Essence Stones here, but they were occupied by a Tuo Dragon Flame Beast, so he started fighting with it.

Fire Essence Stones could only condense in places with the most abundant fire-attribute spiritual energy and were one of the perfect auxiliary materials for refining saint weapons.

In the outside world, if one was lucky, they might at most encounter one or two pieces in a certain place, but here there were hundreds.

"Bang!!"

Xu Chen's powerful and heavy spear strike landed on the Tuo Dragon Flame Beast's back, emitting a muffled giant sound.

"Ooh…"

The Tuo Dragon Flame Beast let out a painful wail, but it was only a cry; it was actually completely unharmed.

Xu Chen was startled, "This demonic beast has such strong defense!"

"Attack its mouth and lower jaw," Xu Luo reminded.

The Tuo Dragon Flame Beast's protruding rock armor on its back, let alone them, even cultivators several realms higher couldn't break through it.

Xu Chen naturally understood this point, but he just wanted to test how strong this thing's defense was.

Unexpectedly, although he didn't use a Cultivation Technique, with a full-force strike, it was actually completely unharmed.

Xu Qiufeng said, "Let's peel it off and use it as a shield."

"That's exactly what I was thinking," Xu Chen chuckled.

Xu Luo and the other two cooperated tacitly. Although the Tuo Dragon Flame Beast had astonishing defense, it was slightly clumsy and couldn't touch them at all.

In the end, it was actually besieged and killed by the three of them, but the rock armor on its back was still completely intact.

"Ooooh!!!"

Before dying, the Tuo Dragon Flame Beast let out a loud roar of fury. This roar made the three of them's eardrums ache, and some stone pillars were even shaken until they cracked and collapsed.

Xu Luo exclaimed, "Not good! This roar of its is very likely to attract its companions and other people nearby. Let's quickly dig up the Fire Essence Stones and leave this place."

Xu Chen and Xu Qiufeng's expressions darkened, and they quickly sped up their actions of digging up the Fire Essence Stones.
