Chapter 155 - Reentry into the Phoenix Nest
Tang Huan once again entered the "Phoenix Lair".
Ever since the time he had chased him out and been discovered by someone on this peak, the "Flamewing Phoenix King" had never returned, nor had he appeared again. It was unknown whether he had quietly left the peak, or whether he was still hiding somewhere on the peak.
In the few days after the end of the Martial Compet.i.tion, Feng Ming Mountain, and especially the surrounding areas of the Phoenix Spirit Valley, would definitely be extremely lively.
Stay here and don"t worry about being found by the Martial Warriors outside.
The only person who could possibly enter was the "Flamewing Phoenix King", but if she had barged in, Tang Huan was not worried, she was already severely injured and had not yet recovered. Previously, in order to kill him, she seemed to have used some kind of secret technique, and the aftermath of the attack had already revealed some traces, maybe even more severe now.
At that time, the "Flamewing Phoenix King" hadn"t succeeded in taking his life, and now, the "Flamewing Phoenix King" definitely wouldn"t be able to kill him.
"Yiya!"
Once Xiao Budian entered the "Phoenix Nest", he happily called out to everyone around him. Then, he quickly slipped down from Tang Huan"s shoulder and swung his legs, happily jumping up and down.
A slight smile emerged on Tang Huan"s face. Perhaps it was because he had taken away the "Nirvana Sacred Fire," but within this "Phoenix Nest", even though it was still roiling with heat, it was much lower than when he had advanced a few days ago. Now, even if Tang Huan did not circulate his cultivation technique, he could still stay here.
Tang Huan was not in a hurry to fuse with the Spiritual Fire. Instead, he was sizing up the decorations of the first floor of the palace as he walked towards the second floor.
The last time he came and went hurriedly, he didn"t have the time to observe, so naturally he couldn"t miss this opportunity.
This "Phoenix Lair" was rumored to be the nest of the ancient Spiritual Beast and phoenix.
Just as Tang Huan had expected, the rumor was very likely to be true. Even if it wasn"t true, it must be extraordinary to be able to serve as a healing ground for the "Flamewing Phoenix King". Last time, when the "Flamewing Phoenix King" left in a hurry, perhaps there were still other precious treasures inside.
Before long, Tang Huan had already entered the second level of palace.
Last time, Tang Huan had noticed the pile of s.h.i.+ning items on both sides of the palace. This time, Tang Huan almost unhesitatingly headed towards the right side of the hall.
"What is this?"
After a while, Tang Huan could not help but frown. On the ground, there were piles of black profound iron ore s, but the difference from the black profound iron ore, was that they all had strands of golden light that exploded outwards, causing these originally dark black objects to appear dazzling.
Tang Huan could not help but grab one piece, but the moment he picked it up, his expression could not help but change slightly.
The heaviness of this object had greatly exceeded Tang Huan"s expectations.
It was only a piece of iron ore the size of a vegetable plate, but its weight was almost half that of the Tyrant Blade in Howling Firmament Wolf King"s hand. Once he held the ore in his hand, Tang Huan could clearly feel that there seemed to be an extremely mysterious power surging inside it.
Tang Huan thought for a bit, and couldn"t help but inject a bit of Genuine Qi into it.
"Hiss!"
In the next moment, Tang Huan could not help but take in a deep breath. It was ridiculously strong. Although the iron ore"s permeability wasn"t the only standard, it still occupied an enormous proportion, because this was related to the"s ability to unleash the Genuine Qi.
"The stronger the iron ore, the more transparent the weapons they forge, and the smaller the obstruction they can cause from the Genuine Qi, so naturally, the stronger the effect of the Genuine Qi would be. The heat iron was stronger than the red iron ore, the red iron ore was stronger than the black iron, and permeability was a very important factor.
As for the iron ore that Tang Huan was currently holding, when Tang Huan imbued it with the Genuine Qi, he actually could not feel any obstruction at all.
If this was already the case even before tempering, then what would happen after tempering?
"What exactly is this iron ore?"
Tang Huan"s mind trembled, he could not help but feel uncertain.
Only Tang Huan had seen these iron ore before, adding on to the ones that Master Ou Xie had introduced in the Artifact Forging Manual, there probably wasn"t a single one that could compare to these iron ore in front of him.
On the left and right sides of the palace were all these iron ore.
If all of them were to be added together, there would be at least a hundred of them. In terms of permeability, if these iron ore were to be taken out, they would probably sell for a sky-high price.
"Yiya!"
After a long while, Tang Huan was awoken by Xiao Budian"s clear cry. In the blink of an eye, he looked over, and saw that at the arch between the second and third levels of palace, Xiao Budian was waving her small claws at him with all her might. Tang Huan took a deep breath, suppressed the astonishment in his chest, and walked towards the third level of palace.
When Tang Huan entered the third level of palace, he was already on the circular platform in the middle of the palace. At this moment, the round platform had already become as white as ice and snow. It no longer possessed the fiery-red color from when they first met.
Suspicion flashed past Tang Huan"s eyes, and he immediately quickened his pace.
Not long later, Tang Huan also went up the stage.
Immediately after, he felt himself wrapped up in an abnormally cool atmosphere, as if he had drank a bowl of ice-cold water in the scorching heat of the night. It was completely cool from head to toe, and from the inside out. Not only that, under the stimulation of this refres.h.i.+ng feeling, he realized that his mind had become clearer than ever. Even his thoughts had sped up.
No wonder Xiao Budian likes it here!
Tang Huan was surprised, although he had been here many times, but he had never realized that there was such a thing hidden within this round platform.
After walking around the circular platform, Tang Huan"s heart was moved.
Could it be that the reason why the "Flamewing Phoenix King" could use the "Nirvana Sacred Fire" to heal his injuries was because of this strange circular platform?
In the Spiritual Fire, the five elements were fire, and he also had the physique of a metal of the five elements. Fire could cure metal, but to him, the difficulty of fusing with the Nirvana Sacred Fire was definitely far more than fusing with a fire attribute Weapon Refiner.
If he could do this, the chances of success would greatly increase.
While thinking, Tang Huan couldn"t help but become excited, and subconsciously he jumped into the hole at the center of the round platform. In the entire round platform, the refres.h.i.+ng feeling was the most intense.
Following that, Tang Huan opened the wooden chest and took out a "phoenix feather".
The energy contained within the phoenix feather and the "Nirvana Sacred Fire" seemed to share the same origin. Before fusing with the Spiritual Fire, he should first refine a bit of the energy crystal contained within the phoenix feather to make it easier for his body to adapt to the power of the "Nirvana Sacred Fire" and reduce the difficulty of fusing with it.
The success rate of fusing with the Spiritual Fire was terrifyingly low. From ancient times till now, the number of Weapon Refiner who succeeded could be counted on one hand.
Tang Huan did not have an immortal body, how could he not be cautious?
Breathing in a light breath, Tang Huan"s mind quickly calmed down and combined the "Phoenix Feather" into his palms. In between his mind instructs (in a second), the "Great Way of the Buddha" had already begun to circulate. Inside the Dantian, the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" and the two stages of the Spiritual Wheel were quickly circulating.
