Chapter 169: Windfall Gain [First Part]

  Zuo Mo closely followed behind Hei Gou's back, holding the Water Dropping Sword in his hand, his eyes scanning the surroundings from time to time, being extremely vigilant.

  The black beetle ran very fast, and Zuo Mo was also surprised in his heart.

  Xiao Hei ran so happily, the island must have spiritual veins or some kind of heavenly treasure. He originally thought Huangmu Jiao was just a deserted island, but now it seems there's an unexpected surprise.

  This is a dense jungle, and in the jungle there is a black water lake. Xiao Hei seems to be afraid of the black water lake, hastily passing by its side. Zuomo looks at the black water lake with some surprise, it's not big, only tens of acres in size, the lake water is as black as ink, like a dead land. By the side of the black water lake, no grass grows, only large areas of white gravel.

  Bad luck!

  For some reason, the two words naturally appeared in Zuo Mo's mind. Hei Shui Lake was like a lake of dead water, with no signs of any wild beasts around it, and an ominous feeling emanated from it. He remembered that the jade slip given to him by the Heart Lake Sword Sect disciples had warned him that Hei Shui Lake was very dangerous and told him not to approach it.

  At this time, he didn't have a chance to investigate further, he quickened his pace and closely followed Xiao Hei.

  In the jungle, Xiao Hei walked like the wind, like a black shadow. If not for the spiritual connection between Zuo Mo and Xiao Hei, he would have been lost long ago.

  Noticing Xiao Hei's speed had increased again, Zuo Mo hastily sped up as well.

  Xiao Hei suddenly dived into a ground fissure, and Zuo Mo, who was chasing after him, saw the narrow slit that was only two fingers wide and couldn't help but smile wryly. The Water Droplet Sword in his hand transformed into a flowing light that flew up into the air, spinning rapidly as it turned into a blue shadow, before suddenly diving down with a loud crash.

  Boom!

  Gravel splashed, and a hole large enough for Mo to crawl into appeared before him.

  Zuo Mo beckoned with his hand, and the Water Droplet Sword flew back into his grasp. He ducked down and entered the hole. As he entered the cave, his vision suddenly cleared up, and he found himself in a natural rock cavern. Not far away, the Black Armored Beetle waiting for him let out a shrill cry, turned around, and ran off. Zuo Mo quickly withdrew his gaze and followed closely behind.

  Darkness had no effect on Xiao Hei, Luo Mo's divine sense was powerful, and everything around him was reflected in his heart without a single drop of water leaking out.

  As he continued to advance along the cave, Mo felt that he was constantly moving deeper towards the center of the earth. Along the way, he used his flying sword to blast open several rocks, and so far, he had not found any traces of predecessors, which made him even more excited.

  After walking for about half a watch, when he turned a corner, Zuǒ Mò was stunned by the scene in front of him.

  Large, crimson-red magma flows rolled and slowly bubbled. The entire field of vision was a deep red, the whole cave was a red world, as wave after wave of scorching heat distorted and changed, the air was filled with a strong smell of sulfur.

  The rolling lava was like a small lake, about three mu in size. The surrounding rocks occasionally collapsed and fell into the lava, disappearing. But after a while, the lava near the shore cooled down and reformed into rock, repairing the gap that had just collapsed.

  He stared at the black gold worm, and somehow it had crawled onto a red stone and started nibbling on it.

  Zuo Mo's pupils suddenly dilated, revealing an expression of wild joy.

  Red agate!

  He took a step closer, and from the ground picked up a red rock. The red rock was like jade but not jade, presenting an extremely pure and bright red color, scorching to the touch, just like iron that had been heated to red-hot temperatures. If it weren't for the fact that his hand was wrapped in spiritual energy, his palm would have been directly burned into a pile of white bones.

  The stone contains extremely rich and abundant fire-elemental power!

  Four Treasures of the Red Fire Stone!

  At this moment, he wanted to throw his head back and laugh loudly. Who would have thought that this desolate and remote island actually had such a treasure? He looked around and saw that the shores of the lava lake were lined with a ring of rubies.

  These scarlet agate are worth coming to Huangmu Reef!

  Without saying a word, he started frantically collecting rubies, not letting one go. The distribution of rubies is very regular, they almost all grow in the area closest to the magma, forming a ruby belt on the shore. These rubies have been tempered by the magma for countless years, and the impurities in them are gradually eliminated, with extremely pure quality.

  Among the more than 60 pieces of red agate obtained, three products are the most, and four products have as many as six pieces.

  This is an amazing wealth!

  Zuo Mo was over the moon, he was dizzy from this wealth that had fallen from the sky. To reward Xiao Hei, he directly took out a piece of fourth-grade crimson fire stone for it to gnaw on.

  Xiao Hei immediately abandoned the three-product red fire stone that had been gnawed halfway through his mouth, and with a fiery butt, he pounced on the four-product red fire stone in Zuo Mo's hand. This piece of four-red fire stone was not large, slightly larger than a finger bone, and Xiao Hei bit into it like a cookie, crunching away, and in just a few bites, one four-product red fire stone was destroyed by him.

  After eating the Chi Huo Shi, Xiao Hei suddenly turned bright red all over his body, just like being burned to a crisp, and lay there motionless.

  Zuo Mo was suddenly shocked, the connection between him and Xiao Hei had been severed!

  He carefully picked up Xiao Hei, who was now like a piece of hot flint, with an extremely high temperature. After carefully observing him with his spiritual sense, he confirmed that Xiao Hei was not injured and immediately let out a sigh of relief. Having stayed in the array for half a year, when he saw Chui Niao and Xiao Hei again, they were no longer just simple mounts and spirit insects to Zuo Mo, but more like his companions.

  Zuo Mo estimated that Xiao Hei had swallowed too much of the Fire Element's power yesterday, resulting in "indigestion".

  "You glutton!" he muttered to himself, casually tossing Xiao Hei into the ring.

  After scanning the Red Fire Stone, Zuo Mo finally calmed down. He began to re-examine this underground magma lake, and even standing on the shore, he could feel the boundless power of fire flowing through it.

  This place is a treasure land!

  Zuo Mo's mind had already begun to spin with thoughts of how to utilize the lava lake in front of him.

  The divine consciousness swept back and forth in the magma lake several times, but didn't find anything strange.

  He was originally looking for spiritual veins, but unexpectedly found a terrestrial fire magma lake. This is out of plan. However, the magma lake in front of him, although not in his plan, still has a lot to offer.

  Zuo Mo stood still for a moment, thinking, then began to take action.

  He kept producing various materials in his hands. This time, coming to Huangmu Jiao, the warehouse was open to him, and he naturally wouldn't be polite, thoroughly sweeping it clean. Until his master couldn't bear to watch anymore, he finally stopped. The current Wu Kong Jian Men, compared to before, the richness of its resources is simply not on the same level. The various high-grade materials in the warehouse dazzled Zuo Mo's eyes.

  Although Zuo Mo was lazy and idle, when it came to matters related to his fate, he never slackened.

  With a flip of his hand, a pair of bronze tripods with greenish-blue glaze appeared on his hands. The patterns on the body of the tripod were exaggerated and intense, with hints of red, coiled like flames.

  With a gentle toss of his left hand, the bronze cauldron landed steadily on the shore.

  He turned his hand over again, and there was another identical bronze tripod.

  Another throw, and the bronze tripod fell in another place.

  Zuo Mo took a deep breath and threw out seven identical bronze tripods with double-ear designs, scattering them around the edge of the Lava Lake.

  Seven pairs of bronze tripods, all of which were high-quality products among the three-grade tripod furnaces. At that time, Zuo Mo was in the warehouse and with one breath, he swept all seven bronze tripods into his storage ring. The face of the disciple in charge of the warehouse immediately turned green.

  Zuo Mo's eyes gleamed with intensity, his hands unfolding like blooming flowers as he strolled along the shores of the magma lake, one after another, magical artifacts flying out from his grasp.

  An hour later, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and around the lava lake were arranged five-color materials, magnificent!

  He let out a breath, his hands moving swiftly as lightning, the incantation transforming into streams of light that shot into the materials.

  The entire process lasted for a full three hours, and when the last spell was completed, Zuo Mo's whole body felt as if it had been drained of all energy, and he sat down on the ground with a thud, his entire body drenched in sweat as if he had just been pulled out of water.

  He endured his physical exhaustion and sat cross-legged, quickly entering a meditative state.

  After several hours, he opened his eyes and his vital energy had recovered as usual.

  "It's just like this now." Looking at the large array that had just been set up, Zu Mo wasn't very satisfied.

  The lake of magma in front of him, with an extremely rich fire energy, and also contains a hint of earth fire, is an excellent natural furnace. For Zuomo, an excellent furnace is essential for both alchemy and equipment refinement. So he didn't hesitate to use seven sets of three-piece double-ear green bronze tripods to set up a four-turn fire array!

  Its flame will reach an astonishing height, and whether it is alchemy or equipment refinement, it will be twice the result with half the effort!

  The grand array naturally rotated, the seven bronze tripods were like seven whirlpools, desperately extracting the fire-traversing power from the magma lake. After four rotations, it transformed into a scarlet red flame line, flying towards the sky above the magma lake. The seven flame lines converged in the air above the magma lake, and a deep crimson flame bloomed silently like a flower.

  Zuo Mo finally revealed a satisfied expression, although the formation was still imperfect, but the flames in front of him were already quite good.

  He took out a thin copper ring from his ring, and the copper ring was engraved with various symbols.

  He tossed the copper ring into the flames.

  Flames suddenly surged up, enveloping the copper ring. The copper ring hung in the flames, eerily calm.

  Zuo Mo finally stopped after setting up seven or eight layers of restrictions on the edge of the magma lake.

  He glanced at the copper ring floating in the flames, and the originally reddish-yellow body of the ring revealed a thin red color like fine hair. Lu Mo showed a few points of expectation, turned around and left.

  After coming out of the cave entrance, Zuo Mo carefully set up several symbol arrays at the entrance to prevent others from entering.

  The disciples of Wu Kong Jian Men have been building on the desolate island for many days, and finally completed their respective tasks on their jade tablets. Zuo Mo didn't explain much, but everyone still diligently completed their own tasks. This time, Zuo Mo chose some production cultivators who were relatively honest in nature.

  However, everyone was curious about what Shixiong really wanted to do.

  When the senior brother who had been missing for several days appeared, everyone immediately surrounded him and reported their progress.

  Zuo Mo carefully reviewed each person's task, and finally a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

  "Everyone has worked hard!" Zuo Mo clapped his hands: "One bottle of Yuan Qi Dan for each person, take a good rest for a few days."

  Although it is unknown what kind of nonsense Left Shixiong sold, a bottle of Yuanqi Dan was settled, and everyone felt very satisfied, taking the Yuanqi Dan to rest.

  At this moment, a sword light suddenly appeared in the distant sky.

  The sword light was extremely fast, and it seemed that the opponent had discovered Araki Reef, changing direction and flying towards Araki Reef.

  The people on the left suddenly became tense.
