The black crystal shattered into pieces.
Then, a dark green bead emerged from it.
This bead was only about half the size of a fingernail.
It didn't seem to have anything special about it.
However, when Li Zongjiu's dark elemental energy surged out and landed on the bead, the bead emitted a ray of light.
Buzz!
As the light surged out, one could feel that the bead was emitting heat.
Li Zongjiu carefully stared at the bead in his hand. Within the bead, there seemed to be some kind of energy that was constantly erupting. Throughout the entire process, he could clearly feel that a life force was being born.
Crack!
Boom!
In less than three seconds, the bead shattered. At the same time, a weak flame appeared in the palm of his hand. This swaying light was just like a strand of hair.
Although it was extremely small, Li Zongjiu could clearly feel the terrifying energy coming from it.
"Such pure energy!"
Li Zongjiu sucked in a breath of cold air. To be able to hold such power in his hand …
If he shook it slightly and it fell onto his body, he wouldn't be able to wash it off even if he jumped into a river.
"This Obsidian Fire must be refined with mental energy!"
Li Zongjiu read the refining method from the memories of the Dark Dragon Soul.
To be honest, when he found out about this method, Li Zongjiu even suspected that the Dark Dragon Soul wanted to kill him behind his back, so it left behind such a method.
After all, once this thing invaded his soul …
It would definitely devour Li Zongjiu's soul.
Mental energy was the soul of a living person.
If Li Zongjiu died, this mental energy would turn into soul power and exist. The premise was that it was strong enough, or there was a special force guiding it.
This strand of flame was as thin as a strand of hair. It seemed weak, but if it touched one's body, it would definitely burn one to ashes in an instant, bathing one's soul in this flame.
If one wasn't careful, one's soul might be burned to ashes by the flames.
"Come."
How could Li Zongjiu retreat at this moment? With the support of the four dragon souls in his body, he didn't believe that he couldn't subdue this wisp of flame!
Immediately, Li Zongjiu released his spiritual power and infused the power into it.
Boom!
When the mind power came into contact with the flame in his hand, the white chess piece formed by the mind power suddenly burned with a raging flame!
Li Zongjiu immediately felt like he was being devoured by the flames.
,
It was as if he had arrived in hell in an instant.
Even so, Li Zongjiu was still concealing his spirit and qi. He sat cross-legged on the bed without moving.
The wisp of blue fire spread throughout his body, causing Li Zongjiu great pain.
Li Zongjiu also knew that if his Mental Energy was completely burned away by this flame, it would mean that he would be dead for sure.
Therefore, Li Zongjiu had to maintain a strong mental strength.
"Since that's the case, let me see how strong your flame is!"
Li Zongjiu snorted coldly in his heart. Since you want to fight with me, I'll fight with you until the end!
Li Zongjiu immediately activated his mental strength.
He had to consume all of this power in order to refine this flame origin.
This way, Li Zongjiu would be able to control this power.
In order to obtain this powerful power, he naturally had to pay a certain price.
This raging flame burned his soul for an entire day and night.
When Li Zongjiu opened his eyes again, there seemed to be a flash of fire in his eyes.
The aura in the distance seemed to have been ignited by Li Zongjiu's eyes. The Obsidian Flame was hidden in his own mental strength.
Li Zongjiu was even more surprised.
After a day and night of torment, it was actually him who had allowed his White God Fu to break through to the second level.
As for his current mental state, it had directly merged with the flame from the white chess piece.
The Obsidian Flame had become the embodiment of Li Zongjiu's mental state.
As he opened his palm, a wisp of flame danced in his palm. Li Zongjiu looked at the flame in his hand, his eyes reflecting the pitch-black flame.
The Obsidian Flame was still weak. Although it had merged with Li Zongjiu's mental strength, it still needed time to slowly nurture it before it could become a powerful force that could be controlled by Li Zongjiu.
"Although it's still in its embryonic form, its power is comparable to the strength of a Sky Origin Ancestor's Yuan Energy."
Li Zongjiu was shocked.
This was only the beginning. If it already possessed such power, it meant that its starting point was very high.
Refining the Obsidian Flame would also help Li Zongjiu break through his mental strength. This was the most surprising part.
"The Obsidian Flame that I spent so much effort refining has only broken through to the second level of the White God Fu. It seems like it will be even more difficult to continue improving!"
If he wanted to improve quickly, the most reliable way besides using elixirs was to find Yuan Stones that could temper his mental strength. This way, his cultivation speed would increase by leaps and bounds.
However, such primordial stones were extremely expensive. It was not something that ordinary people could afford.
"Hmm?
Why am I sitting on the floor? "
Li Zongjiu glanced at the bed. It turned out that the flames that Li Zongjiu had released last night had burned a hole in the bed and caused him to sit on the floor. Just like that, a hole had been burned into the bed.
Knock, knock, knock.
There was a series of knocks on the door.
"Come in."
Li Zongjiu waved his hand and opened the door. The person who came in was the waiter.
"Sir, the Lord of the Sky Rain Pavilion has called for you. He said that the things you wanted have arrived."
Li Zongjiu nodded. Two and a half days had passed and it would be the third day soon. The Sky Rain Pavilion should have finished preparing the things.
"I got it."
Li Zongjiu had never let go of the matter of chasing after Xu Changjiang. This guy would definitely be a disaster if he kept him alive.
His father was unwilling to be so ruthless because of their relationship. However, Li Zongjiu knew how vicious Li Changjiang was. Furthermore, one of his hands had been chopped off. He would definitely hate the Li Family. How could such a person be kept alive?
"Sir, your bed … you have to pay for it …"
The waiter saw that there was a hole in the bed behind Li Zongjiu. At first, he thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him. However, when he took a closer look, he realized that it was indeed burned by Li Zongjiu.
In this inn, there would often be some strange people cultivating here. Then, the room would catch fire from time to time. Usually, there would be some things on the side to put out the fire. This kind of situation was common.
"Keep the change."
Li Zongjiu directly threw out a hundred thousand gold coin banknote.
This was the epitome of wealth.
This bed didn't cost more than a few dozen gold yuan, but Li Zongjiu had actually given a hundred thousand gold yuan. Only Li Zongjiu could do such a thing.
When the waiter received this huge sum of money, he was so scared that he almost knelt on the ground. No one around knew about such a huge sum of money. He could just hide it and pay for the bed. Then, everything would be easy to deal with.
A hundred thousand gold coins was enough to build a house in his hometown. Such a casual action had changed the fate of a waiter in his shop!
Li Zongjiu walked directly to the Tianyu Tavern.
These days, the Tianyu Tavern seemed to be very lively.
There were also many people gathered in front of the Tianyu Tavern in Lower Kang City.
"Look, the Yang Family is also recruiting. Looks like there's going to be a tough battle."
"The Shi Family is paying even more. Also, I heard that the Tiger Gang has already gone over. There are still places available. Shall we go and try?"
Hearing these voices, Li Zongjiu automatically put them behind his ear.
He walked towards the VIP passage.
This time, he didn't have to pay. He walked in directly.
"Damn, how can that kid just walk in?"
"That's the VIP passage. He's the one who spends money."
