Treasures were easy to obtain, but treasures were hard to find!
Su Chen did not expect to encounter a stalk of precious medicine here.
From the looks of it, it should be a Three Suns Soaring Into The Heavens.
This blue and white flower looked ordinary, but its effect was very unusual. It was a top-grade body refining treasure. When refined into the Three Suns Opening Tai Pill, it could open the three Yang Gate Meridians of the human body, stimulating the power of the body's foundation and stimulating the vitality of the bloodline.
Its effect was similar to the Primordial Blood Marrow, but it was thousands of times more powerful!
Su Chen was now a Medicine King level alchemist. If this Three Suns Soaring Into The Heavens were in his hands, it could be refined into a Three Suns Opening Tai Pill. With this Three Suns Opening Tai Pill, Su Chen's physique could be further strengthened. Even his bloodline source could be greatly enhanced.
This would be very helpful to Su Chen's future.
With his current aptitude, it wasn't easy for him to walk step by step to the Reincarnation Realm. But the road ahead would only be more difficult and full of challenges. How difficult would it be to cross the legendary Three Nine Great Tribulations?
Su Chen's innate aptitude was limited, and it was difficult to improve it. But his acquired aptitude could be compensated with pills and treasures. There was still hope to see it improve.
"This is simply what I lack. This Three Suns Soaring Into The Heavens is probably the best strengthening pill I can refine at this stage. I actually saw it here. It's simply like being possessed by a Koi."
Su Chen smiled and patted the Fortune Koi swimming back and forth on his body. Then, he jumped into the magma pit.
Whoosh!
Thunder burst out from under his feet. Su Chen took a step forward and arrived beside the Three Suns Soaring Into The Heavens. He reached out to pick it.
However, at this moment, there was a violent fluctuation in the magma under his feet. A giant python wrapped in flames actually pierced over and bit Su Chen's legs.
An irresistible force tugged at Su Chen. The Blazing Python wanted to drag Su Chen into the lava.
With Su Chen's strength, he might be able to survive if he was immersed in the magma for a short period of time, but he definitely couldn't last too long. Once he entered the magma, it would be the main battlefield of the Blazing Python, which would be very disadvantageous for Su Chen.
Without any hesitation, Su Chen teleported away and returned to the top of the magma pit.
The Blazing Fire Python had bitten the air. It seemed to be a little surprised and puzzled. However, it didn't chase after them. Instead, it sank into the magma.
However, it did not leave. Instead, it circled back and forth nearby.
It seemed to be protecting the Three Suns Exalted Heavens Flower.
"It seems that the medicinal efficacy of the precious medicine attracted this demonic beast. This Raging Fire Python needs to absorb the medicinal efficacy of the precious medicine to improve its cultivation. It will definitely not let anyone take away its treasure."
Su Chen frowned. This wasn't going to be easy.
This Raging Fire Python's strength should be around the 4th level of Reincarnation Realm. In terms of cultivation level, it wasn't considered strong, but the lava was its home ground. Su Chen didn't grasp a powerful fire attribute skill and it was hard for him to contend with this Raging Fire Python.
"Is it possible to steal this precious medicine?"
With a thought, Su Chen stealthily walked to the top of the elixir. He used the divine pattern to form an invisible rope and slowly released it downwards. Not long after, the power of the divine pattern enveloped the elixir.
However, just as Su Chen was about to pluck it, the Raging Fire Python sensed something. It opened its mouth and spat out a stream of hot magma at Su Chen.
"Damn …"
Su Chen could only choose to dodge.
The temperature of the magma spat out by the Raging Fire Python was thousands of degrees higher than normal magma. If touched, at least a layer of skin would be peeled off.
With no other choice, Su Chen could only give up on plucking the medicine and return to Kong Lingxuan's side. He planned to wait for her to recover so that they could deal with the Raging Fire Python together.
Walking to Kong Lingxuan's side and sitting cross-legged, Su Chen took out some demon beast meat from his storage ring and ate it. He also gave some to Kong Lingxuan. Kong Lingxuan nodded gratefully and cut the meat into small pieces. She chewed slowly and swallowed.
In fact, Kong Lingxuan was usually careless and didn't eat like a lady. However, for some reason, she inadvertently wanted to show her feminine side in front of Su Chen. It was as if she didn't want Su Chen to see her manly side.
Su Chen didn't know what Kong Lingxuan was thinking. He picked up the stone plate and looked at it. He found that the ranking on the Slay Demon List had changed quite a bit.
The high and mighty first place was still Xu Canglan. His points had exceeded two thousand.
Li Xuan, on the other hand, had fallen from second place to fifth place.
Now, the person in second place was Xiao Yu!
Su Chen was a little surprised. How did Xiao Yu become so fierce? How could she stand out among so many geniuses?
Could it be because of Coldmoon that her combat strength had increased a lot?
Or did she get some new opportunity in the trial?
In any case, Su Chen was quite pleased to see Xiao Yu's strength.
At first, he was worried that Xiao Yu wouldn't be able to walk smoothly in this fierce competition. Now, it seemed that he worried too much.
As for Su Chen and Kong Lingxuan, their rankings had fallen beyond the top twenty.
"I'm sorry. I dragged you down," Kong Lingxuan said apologetically.
Su Chen shook his head and said, "The ranking doesn't matter. Being able to make a friend like you is the biggest gain of this trip."
Kong Lingxuan smiled and said, "To be able to meet Prince Su, Lingxuan feels that this trip was worth it."
"You can just call me Su Chen. I should be younger than you, so I'll call you Sister Xuan."
"Then I'll call you Brother Chen. I really want a younger brother."
"Okay."
The two called each other brother and sister. They chatted as they healed their wounds. Their relationship improved a lot.
Ten hours later, Kong Lingxuan's injuries were basically seventy to eighty percent healed. She had regained her combat ability. Su Chen immediately took her to the depths of the cave.
"I didn't expect there to be a precious medicine hidden here. Brother Chen, you're really lucky."
"Unfortunately, this medicine is guarded by a demon beast. I tried a few times before, but I couldn't get it."
Kong Lingxuan saw the giant python swimming in the magma and said, "This is a Fire Python. It's born to be immune to fire and heat. It can even survive in the core of the earth. It's very difficult to deal with. Let me try to communicate with it first. If I can persuade it to give up the medicine, then we won't have to fight."
"You can persuade it?" Su Chen was surprised.
Kong Lingxuan smiled and said, "Brother Chen, don't forget that I'm a demon beast too."
"Then I'll have to trouble you to try."
Kong Lingxuan nodded and immediately communicated with the Fire Python through spiritual power. She didn't know what they said, but the Fire Python suddenly became irritable. It opened its mouth and spat out hot magma.
Needless to say, the negotiation must have failed.
Kong Lingxuan said, "This Fire Python has quite a temper. It seems that we can only take it by force."
She looked around and thought for a moment before saying, "Brother Chen, help me distract the Fire Python. I have a way to get the medicine."
"Okay!"
Su Chen nodded. Then, he was shocked to see that Kong Lingxuan had split into two, becoming two Kong Lingxuan!
