Chapter 52: Black Fire Spiritual Root!

  Duan Hou's words attracted many warriors around, and Jing Tao was anxious and dissatisfied in his heart. However, Duan Hou became more and more excited, speaking with flying eyebrows and colorful language.

  "Everyone, do you know that this Black Fire Spirit Fruit has what benefits when eaten?" Duan Hou asked with a pleased smile as he looked around.

  "I know that the Black Fire Spirit Fruit, once eaten by a postnatal peak expert, can become an innate strongman!" A big man shouted, and this sentence immediately caused a commotion among the surrounding crowd. Even Tong Qing Mountain was shocked. Innate strongmen were extremely rare, how could it be possible to eat one spirit fruit and become innate?

  The guy next to him grunted: "Idiot!"

  The big man who was speaking suddenly glared and was about to get angry: "You...!" His companion beside him immediately pulled him back: "That's an expert from the Iron Shirt Sect!"

  "Haha, it's not that simple to reach the level of a pre-heavenly strong person! From post-heaven to pre-heaven, one must rely on oneself! However, everyone knows that our post-heaven is all about 'refining essence and transforming energy', wanting to enter pre-heaven, one must harmonize spirit and energy, only then can one refine energy and transform spirit! This so-called 'spirit' refers to the 'spirit' of essence-energy-spirit, this thing is very mysterious, hard to explain! However, wanting to become pre-heaven has a great connection with 'spirit'. And this 'Black Fire Spirit Fruit' is said to be able to nourish a person's spirit, making the 'spirit' in one's mind stronger. Making it easier to enter pre-heaven!"

  Hong Qingshan nodded silently to himself, this was a transformation of his inner spirit.

  "Duan Xiao Ge, you're saying all this, so it means that if we eat the Hei Huo Ling fruit, there's hope for us to enter the Xian Tian realm?" someone shouted.

  "That's for sure! The hope is greatly enhanced, if you eat the Black Fire Spirit Fruit and still can't reach Innate, then you'll never be able to reach Innate in your lifetime." Duan Hou said with certainty, then chuckled, "However, the Black Fire Spirit Fruit is a treasure, that 'Black Fire Spirit Root' which grows it, although slightly inferior, is also very extraordinary."

  "Black Fire Spirit Root, I've heard that eating it can improve one's physique, strengthen their muscles and bones, and grant them immense power!"

  Duan Hou nodded repeatedly: "Right, that Black Fire Spirit Root, when ingested, an ordinary man can possess the strength of ten thousand kilograms and become a top-notch martial artist in one leap! However... the effect of this Black Fire Spirit Root on postnatal peak experts is far inferior to that of the Black Fire Spirit Fruit!"

  Able to lift a weight of 10,000 jin, that is only the foundation of a first-rate martial artist.

  Which one of Zhuge Yun, Zang Feng, Ji Hong, Yue Song and Meng Tian from "The Grounds" can burst out with tens of thousands of kilograms of strength in an instant?

  Hong Qing Shan's "Wild Ox Strength Technique" had been cultivated to the present day, reaching the ninth level of completion. His internal strength could burst forth with 60,000 jin of massive power in an instant.

  For formidable acquired martial artists, eating 'Black Fire Spirit Root' increases muscle strength by 10,000 catties and slightly enhances their power, which is just icing on the cake. 'Black Fire Spirit Fruit', however, can give them hope to enter the Innate realm, now that's a treasure.

  "Hei Huo Ling Gen!" Teng Qing Shan's heart was moved.

  "This black fire spirit root can give birth to the 'black fire spirit fruit', it must have a very mysterious energy. Eating the black fire spirit root, this energy is absorbed into an ordinary person's body, and it can instantly make an ordinary person possess the strength of ten thousand kilograms!" Teng Qing Shan was an internal martial arts expert, he knew this clearly.

  People want to increase their power, they must constantly develop their potential and improve themselves.

  The human body exists in nature and has its limitations. For example, when a person reaches the strength of 180,000 catties (a unit of weight), it is already at the extreme limit.

  To further improve, 'increasing human potential' is a way!

  How much is it?

  "After eating the Black Fire Spirit Root, one can instantly possess a strength of ten thousand kilograms! The magical energy contained in this Black Fire Spirit Fruit has indeed greatly enhanced human potential! Now my body's potential is already unable to be tapped further, if I eat this Black Fire Spirit Root!" Teng Qing Shan truly looked forward to it.

  In Teng Qing Shan's view, Hei Huo Ling Gen would absolutely not just increase one's strength by 10,000 jin!

  "The potential of the Black Fire Spirit Root is increased, those who cultivate internal energy can't truly tap into it!" Teng Qing Shan thought, "The potential of the Black Fire Spirit Root, once truly tapped, the increase in strength will absolutely not be just 10,000 jin, exactly how much, only after eating it will you know!"

  At this moment, compared with Hei Huo Ling Guo, Teng Qing Shan yearned for Hei Huo Ling Gen even more.

  The physical strength has been unable to improve for a long time, Hei Huo Ling Gen is the hope of Tian Qing Shan's body further strengthening.

  ……

  In the martial arts arena of Jinjiazhuang, the warriors were excitedly discussing among themselves, each and every one of them eager to obtain the Black Fire Spirit Fruit and the Black Fire Spirit Root.

  For ordinary warriors, getting the Black Fire Spirit Root is a direct leap to becoming a top-notch warrior, and it's also a treasure.

  "Hmph." With a cold snort, Jing Tao went to one side to fetch his war horse and left the Jin Family Village that very night.

  "Brother Duan! I still have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave first." Ceng Qing Shan cupped his hands and said.

  "Brother Qin Lang." Duan Hou said with a smile, "For the next few days, you must not leave this Flame Mountain area. Just watch, the Black Fire Spirit Fruit, Black Fire Spirit Root, and Red Scale Beast will attract many, many warriors to come over. It's going to be more lively than ever here!"

  Hong Qingshan smiled and left.

  Looking at the departing back of Tan Qing, Duan Hou laughed even more brightly: "Jing Tao? You don't want me to say it? Hmph, I'll spread it anyway, and have all the masters from Yangzhou and nearby Qingzhou rush over. Haha, a large gathering of masters is what makes things lively." This Duan Hou was afraid that the world would not be chaotic enough.

  Duan Hou was very clear, with Tie Yi Men around, he basically couldn't compete with Tie Yi Men.

  Since we can't win, why not stir up a big storm! Duan Hou was originally someone who liked excitement.

  *******

  Cloud Inn

  Teng Qing Shan immediately summoned Du Hong and Teng Qing Hu after arriving at the guest house.

  "Commander, have you seen that monster?" Du Hong asked with a smile.

  Hong Qing Shan asked again, "Old Du, I'm asking you, a beast with full-body black scales, four hooves, extremely short thorns on its back, and a long, large mouth. Moreover, in urgent situations, it can turn its entire body bright red, greatly increasing its speed and strength. Is that the Red Scale Beast?" This Du Hong had been staying at the Return to Origin Sect for a very long time and knew many things.

  Du Hong was taken aback for a moment, and then he exclaimed with joy: "That's right, it's the Red Scale Beast! However, that's just a young beast. Once it grows up and eats the Black Fire Spirit Fruit, it will shed its skin like a snake, replace its scales, and become even larger. And it can spit fire! You say that demon is the young Red Scale Beast? Ah, if it's really a young beast...” Du Hong went on to talk about the Black Fire Spirit Fruit and the Black Fire Spirit Root.

  Hong Qinghu was also excited.

  "What did you say?" Teng Qing Shan furrowed his brow, "The Black Fire Spirit Fruit must have matured only after the Red Scale Beast grew up?" Duan Hou hadn't mentioned such details before.

  "Right, all right." Du Hong obviously knew more than Duan Hou, "The Red Scale Beast can only be born in places where the Black Fire Spirit Fruit grows! The growth rate of the Red Scale Beast is extremely astonishing, almost changing every day, its body gradually growing larger every day, and its food intake will also increase. It likes to eat meat."

  Heng Qing Shan suddenly understood.

  That red-scaled young beast, from the beginning ate one person a day, then two people, and later three people... The speed of increasing its food intake was indeed swift.

  "But I didn't find any records of it liking to eat humans in the books I've read," said Du Hong. "The Red Scale Beast, I think that after another month, it will be fully mature and grow to over 20 feet tall! If it wants to undergo another transformation, it can only eat the Black Fire Spirit Fruit! What we need to do is seize that Black Fire Spirit Fruit!"

  Hong Qing Shan added a sentence in his heart: "At the same time, also seize the Black Fire Spirit Root!"

  "After the Red Scale Beast matures, it won't be long before the Black Fire Spirit Fruit ripens! When the Black Fire Spirit Fruit ripens, its fruit will change from black to bright red in an instant and will last for 12 hours. If no one picks it within 12 hours, it will rot. This Black Fire Spirit Fruit must be placed in a jade box to ensure that it does not spoil." Du Hong explained in detail.

  Hong Qingshan nodded secretly after hearing this.

  "Are you sure?" Du Hong asked, "This Hei Huo Ling fruit is of great importance to the Guiyuan Sect. Has this matter been reported to the sect?" Du Hong looked at Tan Qing's face.

  "Tomorrow morning, we will rush to the nearby Xu Yang County's Huacheng and inform the Huaicheng people of the return of Yuanzong Ma, passing on the message to the sect." Teng Qing Shan was very clear that after Hou and other warriors spread the news, many people would know about it, and the Iron Clothes Gate would also participate.

  The Tiye Gate's old nest is in Chu County, occupying a geographical advantage and having numerous skilled fighters.

  With the help of a powerful expert from the Guiyuan Sect, it's more likely that you can seize the Black Fire Spirit Root yourself!

  ……

  The next morning, Teng Qing Shan and his group rushed to the nearby Huacheng, where Yuan Zong's forces had a foothold in every city of Yangzhou. Of course, within the control range of Qinghu Island, there were very few people stationed, showing no malice. However, in Xuyang County, which was not controlled by any sects, the stationed personnel were numerous.

  ******

  Jiangning Prefecture City, returned to Yuanzong, in Zhuge Yuansheng's study.

  "Your Lordship!"

  "Master!"

  Ji Hong and Guan Yu both bowed their heads.

  Zhuge Yuanhong threw the secret letter in his hand at Ji Hong: "Second Master, you and Lü'er, take a look at the contents of the secret letter."

  Ji Hong's face lit up with joy at a glance.

  Next to Guan Lu, his icy face melted away, revealing a look of surprise: "Master? In the Flame Mountain on the border of Xuyang and Chu, there is a young Red Scale Beast?"

  "This news was personally reported by Teng Qing Shan, it's absolutely true." Zhuge Yuanhong smiled and said, "This Hei Huo Ling Guo is very beneficial for postnatal peak martial artists. Eating it will greatly increase the hope of reaching Xian Tian! Second Master, our goal this time is the Hei Huo Ling Guo, Hei Huo Ling Gen, and that Chi Lin Beast!"

  "Red Scale Beast?" Ji Hong was taken aback, "Master, Red Scale Beasts can't be tamed."

  In history, no one has ever tamed the Crimson Scaled Beast. Demonic beasts are extremely difficult to tame, of course, there are a few exceptions that have hope of being tamed.

  Zhuge Yuanhong smiled faintly: "The Black Fire Spirit Fruit is extremely important to the Red Scale Beast. Only after eating it can it transform. Therefore, when the time comes, it will also compete with you! If the Red Scale Beast doesn't eat the Black Fire Spirit Fruit, a mature Red Scale Beast, over two zhang tall, although strong, but with Teng Qing Mountain joining forces together, you can still kill that Red Scale Beast. The scales of a mature Red Scale Beast, once worn on the body, are impenetrable to anyone who is not a innate powerful being. It's priceless!"

  The power of the red scale beast's armor is beyond doubt.

  "If the Red Scaled Beast is more powerful than you, it will snatch the Black Fire Spirit Fruit and transform, shedding its past scales and growing red scales. Your mission is to retrieve the black scales that have been shed." Zhuge Yuanhong said, "Second Master, Green Girl, you two select thirty elites from the Black Armor Army, and then select thirty masters from the core disciples of the Return to Origin Sect. You will set out this afternoon and head to Xu Yang County's Huacheng, where you will meet up with Teng Qingshan and the others!"

  "Yes, Master!"

  Ji Hong and Guan Lu bowed their heads.
