261: Discover Fire Aura

"Flying Lion King, can't you see I'm just a Human Race child? Where could I have hidden them and those flying machines?" Long Yuan teased the Flame Lion King.

"This... how strange. You, a Human Race child, actually arrived at my territory unscathed. Speak, who are you? Why are you here?" The Flame Flying Lion suddenly became interested in Long Yuan's arrival and asked.

"Didn't I say it just now? I'm also looking for those five people from the Human Race!" Long Yuan laughed.

"Oh? Could it be... they came here for the fire crystal stones in my territory?!" The Flame Flying Lion's expression changed as he spoke suspiciously.

"fire crystal stones? Not bad, not bad. I followed them here after hearing them mention fire crystal stones. I didn't expect their destination to be your territory, Lion King..." Long Yuan said.

"Oh no!!!" The Flame Flying Lion didn't bother talking to Long Yuan anymore. He turned around, flapped his wings, and flew back the way he came!

Seeing this, Long Yuan quickly used Shadow Step to follow closely... The fire crystal stones mentioned by the Lion King were good things; they were actually a type of attribute xuan stone. Such attribute-bearing xuan stones were much more precious than ordinary xuan stones, especially for those whose talent carried that attribute. They were rare treasures that one would never trade away and would definitely use for their own Cultivation.

Thus, hearing the Flame Flying Lion reveal its secret, Long Yuan naturally wouldn't let it go and followed directly.

About half an hour later, Long Yuan saw the Flame Flying Lion slowly land on the peak of a volcano, roaring repeatedly while looking around as if searching for the five people... Just as Long Yuan was about to follow, he heard the Flame Flying Lion roar in rage: "Audacious thieves, how dare you steal my treasures!!!"

Long Yuan was startled but soon realized the Flame Flying Lion wasn't talking to him, as the Lion King had already charged towards the volcano crater!

At that moment, three figures shot up into the sky, jumping out of the crater and running into the distance. Seeing this, the Flame Flying Lion roared repeatedly and chased after them. Soon, both sides disappeared from sight... "Haha, those three actually did me a small favor..." Long Yuan was amused. He figured the Flame Flying Lion hadn't expected him to follow this far, which was why it felt safe chasing those three. He no longer hid himself and rushed to the crater. Looking at where the three had emerged, he found a sloping path and walked down... The further down he went, the more smoke there was and the stronger the pungent smell, but the magma seemed relatively calm. He didn't know if the volcano was dormant or in a pause between eruptions. Long Yuan felt the concentration of Profound Qi here was immense. As the Creation Profound Heaven Skill operated automatically, his body frantically absorbed the Fire Attribute Profound Qi, driving his entire Xuan Power System to automatically increase its circulation intensity.

He even suddenly had a different sensation—amongst this Fire Attribute Xuan Power, there were some higher-quality, more energetically active gas molecules mixed in!

"Eh? These high-energy gas molecules also seem to be Fire Attribute, but their energy is much stronger than Xuan Power molecules. Could it be Fire Spiritual Qi?!" Long Yuan was slightly stunned, thinking to himself.

The concentration of Spiritual Qi in the Heavenly Dao Space was high now, but there wasn't an extreme Fire Attribute Spiritual Qi environment like this volcano, so Long Yuan couldn't distinguish it immediately.

According to the information from the Heavenly Dao Eye, the intermittent outbreaks of Spiritual Qi tides on Blue Star had actually been happening for a long time, possibly for several hundred years. Although several hundred years was nothing to the whole of Blue Star, in places favorable for the accumulation and derivation of Spiritual Qi, its concentration would definitely not be low. Some people might even have unknowingly developed a Spiritual Root and could practice Immortal Cultivation!

In other words, with Blue Star's current conditions, it had already entered the era of Immortal Cultivation!

Long Yuan believed that in an extreme environment like a volcano, the existence of Fire Spiritual Qi was normal, especially since this volcano was quite large, covering nearly fifty square miles. In such an extreme Fire Attribute environment, Fire Spiritual Qi would inevitably gather and derive.

This discovery also made Long Yuan a little confused. Had his Divine Body already finished nurturing? Could he practice Immortal Cultivation now?

Otherwise, how could he explain being able to directly sense Fire Spiritual Qi in the outside world?

But according to the previous information from the Heavenly Dao Eye, if he wanted to practice Immortal Cultivation, it was best to wait until his Profound Skill reached the Heavenly God stage, then naturally transition to the Immortal Cultivation portion of the Creation Profound Heaven Skill. For now, it was best not to actively practice Immortal Cultivation to avoid interrupting the nurturing process of his Divine Body.

He thought for a moment and simply closed his eyes, concentrating fully on sensing the Fire Spiritual Qi molecules in the air. After a short while, he indeed discovered the difference!

Amidst the dense Fire Attribute Profound Qi molecules around him, many lively and active high-energy molecules truly appeared. These high-energy molecules seemed extremely close to him; they appeared almost as soon as he sensed them. Slowly, they gathered more and more, surrounding his body and making him glow slightly... "In that case, let's try introducing them into my body..."

Thinking of this, Long Yuan cautiously tried to guide these high-energy molecules into his body, with the entrance being the Soul Bridge at his Baihui Point. For safety's sake, he didn't dare inhale a large amount but guided them in bit by bit. However, he soon realized it wasn't necessary at all, because these high-energy molecules became very docile once they entered his body. They almost found the Meridians within him on their own, moving slowly along them, and finally all merged into his Dantian!

"No way, could it be that the Spiritual Veins in my body have also been nurtured?!" Long Yuan couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

Spiritual Veins were different from Xuan Veins. From the current situation, the Spiritual Veins in Long Yuan's body were much smaller than his Xuan Veins, clearly having just been born. However, he could feel that the Spiritual Veins were truly much tougher than the Xuan Veins. Even these tiny Spiritual Veins could contain far more energy than Xuan Veins of the same level.

This situation gave Long Yuan a pleasant surprise. Although he hadn't yet come into contact with Immortal Cultivation Techniques, he had read many Immortal Cultivation web novels back on Earth. He knew very well what it meant for Spiritual Qi to enter the body and successfully complete a cycle. At the very least, it showed that his Immortal Cultivation talent was excellent, with no obstacles whatsoever. Moreover, he had only just sensed Fire Spiritual Qi molecules for the first time in the outside world and was able to smoothly guide them into his body and complete a cycle. This kind of Aptitude was unparalleled!

It was very likely that his Immortal Cultivation talent, like his Profound Skill talent, had reached the Divine-Grade...
