The dust gradually dispersed, and at the foot of the collapsed mountain, the figure of the Fire Spirit Rabbit emerged. The rabbit stood with both feet on large chunks of red crystal stone. These crystals were translucent and magnificent, with red light flowing through them, resembling rubies about to ignite. At first glance, they were dazzling to the eyes.
“That’s Red Fire Crystal Stone!” Lin Xiao’s eyes widened. Red Fire Crystal Stone was a type of crystal containing fire attribute energy, primarily used as the main ingredient for refining a type of explosive pill.
This explosive pill, called the Red Fire Explosive Pill, could be refined into a fourth-grade primary explosive pill, fourth-grade intermediate, fourth-grade advanced, or even higher-grade explosive pills, as long as there was sufficient spiritual power.
However, the higher the grade, the more Red Fire Crystal Stone was required.
In front of them, at the collapsed mountain base, there were Red Fire Crystal Stones spanning several zhang in radius. Just on the surface, there were at least tens of thousands of jin!
A few dozen jin of Red Fire Crystal Stone could refine one fourth-grade primary explosive pill. With tens of thousands of jin, hundreds of fourth-grade primary explosive pills could be produced.
The power of hundreds of fourth-grade primary explosive pills was almost unimaginable.
Moreover, this was only the surface layer; it was unknown whether there were more Red Fire Crystal Stones deeper inside.
“What a haul! This Fire Spirit Rabbit can sniff out treasures.” Lin Xiao was overjoyed and led Hu Yue towards the Red Fire Crystal Stones, immediately retracting his Void Sky Phoenix Wings.
At this moment, on the Red Fire Crystal Stones, the Fire Spirit Rabbit was already holding a small piece of Red Fire Crystal Stone and began nibbling on it. After chewing a bit, it swallowed it into its stomach.
“Eating it directly?” A trace of surprise appeared on Hu Yue’s face.
Lin Xiao was also slightly stunned, but since Red Fire Crystal Stone inherently contained immense fire attribute energy, and the Fire Spirit Rabbit was a fire attribute spiritual beast, refining Red Fire Crystal Stone was quite suitable for it. As long as it could expel the impurities, swallowing it directly had no adverse effects.
On the contrary, the Red Fire Crystal Stone was greatly beneficial to it.
In just a short while, the Fire Spirit Rabbit had consumed dozens of jin of Red Fire Crystal Stone. Its belly was bulging, its face showing excited intoxication, and it couldn’t help but lie down to start refining.
“It’s refining the Red Fire Crystal Stone. Let’s collect these Red Fire Crystal Stones first. We won’t have to worry about the Fire Spirit Rabbit not following us later. Plus, these Red Fire Crystal Stones can be used to refine explosive pills, which will be immensely useful when the ultimate battlefield appears.”
With that, Lin Xiao began using his spiritual power to move the Red Fire Crystal Stones piece by piece, storing them in his storage ring. Hu Yue also started collecting, though she didn’t have much use for them. They would serve as the Fire Spirit Rabbit’s future food supply. With the Red Fire Crystal Stones, they wouldn’t have to worry about the rabbit running off.
Seeing Lin Xiao and Hu Yue collecting the Red Fire Crystal Stones, the Fire Spirit Rabbit was somewhat displeased. However, it also knew that with so many Red Fire Crystal Stones, it couldn’t refine them all one by one on the spot.
The two collecting the stones meant they wouldn’t shortchange it later.
In just a short time, Lin Xiao and Hu Yue had collected all the Red Fire Crystal Stones in the area, filling several storage rings. The amount of Red Fire Crystal Stones in Lin Xiao’s hands reached seventy to eighty thousand jin. The quantity of Red Fire Crystal Stones contained in this mountain peak was beyond expectation.
Hu Yue collected less, but still gathered around eighteen thousand jin. This amount of Red Fire Crystal Stone, if used solely to feed the Fire Spirit Rabbit, would be more than sufficient.
“Sizzle! Sizzle!” By this time, the Fire Spirit Rabbit had finished refining the Red Fire Crystal Stone in its belly, exuding a vibrant and spirited aura. Clearly, the Red Fire Crystal Stone had brought it considerable benefits.
Then, it stretched out its paws, starting to ask Lin Xiao and Hu Yue for more Red Fire Crystal Stone.
“This caused quite a commotion. Let’s leave this place first.”
With that, Lin Xiao, Hu Yue, and the Fire Spirit Rabbit flew away from the area, landing at a secluded mountain base. As soon as they landed, Hu Yue took out a piece of Red Fire Crystal Stone and gave it to the Fire Spirit Rabbit, which excitedly began nibbling beside them.
For the foreseeable future, the Fire Spirit Rabbit would likely keep eating Red Fire Crystal Stones. If it ate for a few months, it might even break through another level, reaching the stage of a fourth-tier advanced spiritual beast.
By then, it would undoubtedly be a spiritual beast capable of dominating the Mysterious Domain Battlefield.
“Hu Yue, this is a Glazed Spirit Fruit. It has a high chance of helping you break through one level of cultivation.” After landing, Lin Xiao unhesitatingly took out a Glazed Spirit Fruit and said to Hu Yue.
“What?” Hu Yue was stunned, her small face immediately showing wild joy as she quickly grabbed the Glazed Spirit Fruit.
“Whoosh!” At that moment, the Fire Spirit Rabbit, which was nibbling on Red Fire Crystal Stone, suddenly darted over. Its blue eyes blinked at Lin Xiao, and it stood upright, its two front paws gesturing animatedly, clearly asking Lin Xiao for a Glazed Spirit Fruit.
However, Lin Xiao shook his head and said, “This Glazed Spirit Fruit may taste good, but you just broke through. Besides, with so many Red Fire Crystal Stones, the Glazed Spirit Fruit isn’t that useful to you.”
The Fire Spirit Rabbit adopted an “I don’t care, I want it” attitude, but Lin Xiao still refused. In the end, the Fire Spirit Rabbit gave Lin Xiao a disdainful look before reluctantly giving up, angrily resuming its nibbling on the Red Fire Crystal Stone.
Soon after, Lin Xiao led the group to a more secluded cave. The cave was over ten zhang deep, with lush vegetation at the entrance. Unless someone specifically searched for it, it would be hard to discover.
After entering the cave, Hu Yue immediately sat cross-legged, swallowed the Glazed Spirit Fruit, and began refining it.
For the next three days, Lin Xiao stayed by Hu Yue’s side, not going anywhere. This was a critical moment for Hu Yue’s breakthrough, and no accidents could be allowed.
“Sizzle!” Sure enough, at noon, a powerful aura emanated from Hu Yue, its momentum sweeping in all directions. Even the Fire Spirit Rabbit, which was nibbling on Red Fire Crystal Stone, couldn’t help but look stunned.
“I’ve finally broken through!” With a joyful expression, Hu Yue excitedly laughed at Lin Xiao, “Hehe, now I’ve caught up with you again.”
Lin Xiao couldn’t help but smile. He had to admit that Hu Yue’s breakthrough speed was even faster than his. If it weren’t for a fourth-grade spirit stone, he would have been surpassed by her already.
In the next moment, Lin Xiao sensed an aura rapidly approaching them, causing both him and Hu Yue to frown.
Immediately after, a voice rang out: “Lin Xiao, you rascal, you sure run fast, not caring about us at all. If it weren’t for Master leaving a trace of aura on you, I probably wouldn’t have found you.”
A purple figure instantly appeared at the cave entrance and rushed inside.
It was a woman in her twenties, beautiful as a celestial being, with an extraordinary temperament. The spiritual fluctuations on her body made her purple skirt and long ribbons flutter, giving her an extremely light and ethereal appearance.
“Zi Ling?” Seeing this graceful and beautiful figure, Lin Xiao was stunned. Back then, he had thrown out ten explosive pills, and with Zi Ling and the others’ strength, he wasn’t worried they couldn’t escape. What puzzled him now was that there was an aura left by An Miao on him? And that’s how Zi Ling found him here?
Before entering the Mysterious Domain Battlefield, had An Miao placed a tracking method on him?
Noticing Lin Xiao’s gaze, Zi Ling came to her senses, a trace of embarrassment appearing on her face. She explained, “Uh… Master was worried about you, so she left it to help you in the Mysterious Domain Battlefield.”
“It seems she doesn’t completely trust me!” Lin Xiao couldn’t help but sigh. A sixth-grade Spirit Control Master was indeed extraordinary, planting a tracking method on him without him noticing. It probably wasn’t just to help him in the Mysterious Domain Battlefield but also to prevent him from running off afterward.
Still, considering it involved her father, Lin Xiao could reluctantly understand.
“Master only did it for your own good, don’t overthink it,” Zi Ling added in explanation, then touched her storage ring and took out a pill. “Here, this is a pill Master left for you. As long as you reach the critical point of breaking through to fourth-grade spiritualSystem: *
