Chapter 280 Chapter 28: Rebirth From the Fire, Harvest of Red Fruits (First Update)

Chapter 280 Chapter 280: Nirvana in the Fire, Harvest of Vermillion Fruits (First Update)

The nirvana licked the red fruit tree, baking gray smoke that lingered around Li Qing.

This object was not offensive and did not affect Li Qingshi's behavior. After using his true energy to dispel it to no avail, he let nature take its course.

He carefully controlled the flame, following the passages inside the fruit tree, and seeping into other parts bit by bit.

In the blending of fire and trees, Li Qing vaguely felt the fire energy aura unique to Zhu Guo, which fed back into his consciousness as a light fruity fragrance.

"Pap tap tap..." The scorched red fruit leaves withered, and before they could fall to the ground, they were caught by a stream of green wood essence and put into the sapphire bottle.

"Taoist brothers, take over!" Li Qing threw the jade bottle to Zhou Hanguang.

Zhou Hanguang received it with some astonishment: "Fellow Taoist, what are you doing?"

Li Qing controlled the heat and said with a smile: "This vermilion leaf is grown by the millennium vermilion fruit. It contains its essence and is baked by the Nirvana fire. It is also the best for making tea..."

"Ah this..." Zhou and Jiang were speechless. But seeing that Li Qing still had time to pay attention to this, he was slightly relieved.

As the red fruit leaves completely fell off, the only ones hanging on the entire fruit tree were the thousand-year red fruit and the unripe new fruits.

The thousand-year-old red fruit seemed to be touched, the pale golden light flickered slightly, and the essence contained inside began to feed back to the fruit tree.

Jiang Minghe clenched his fists slightly, his heart aching with pain.

He actually wanted to use the Millennium Vermillion Fruit as a guarantee.

But Zhou Hanguang was the one who spoke about this matter. He had a bit of a gambling streak, and finally decided to let Li Qing let go.

When Li Qing saw that the thousand-year-old Zhu Guo was being aroused, his heart trembled, and the Nirvana fire began to burn up.

At the same time, Ah Zao in the Dantian held up the Nirvana Orb, activating the spiritual bond with Li Qing to help him control the fire.

"Beep beep beep..." The Nirvana fire ignited the essence transmitted from the thousand-year-old red fruit, and the thick fruity fragrance suddenly dispersed.

Li Qing only took a slight breath and felt that the real energy in his body was lively and agile, and his cultivation seemed to have improved.

This is of course just an illusion, but the precious and magical effect of the thousand-year-old red fruit can be seen clearly.

Li Qing did not dare to neglect, and together with Ah Zao, controlled the Nirvana Fire, refined the essence of the red fruit, and began to repair the damage to the fruit tree.

Soon, the purple color of the Millennium Vermilion Fruit gradually faded, turning into a bright red, and the glowing golden light gradually dimmed.

This ray of golden light is the symbol of the Zhuguo fire lasting more than a thousand years. If it is destroyed, the grade will be lost.

"Fellow Taoist..." Jiang Minghe couldn't help calling out, but was held back by Zhou Hanguang.

In order not to affect Li Qing, Zhou Hanguang even used magic to set up soundproofing bans.

Jiang Minghe frowned and whispered, "How about giving up before the Thousand-year-old Fruit has degraded?"

Zhou Hanguang shook his head firmly: "Since I have entrusted you to Fellow Daoist Li, I cannot go back on my word. Otherwise, I will offend others in vain."

"What's more, the Millennium Vermillion Fruit is said to increase the chance of forming a pill by 70%, but you and I know our own affairs. Let alone 70%, even if it is 90%, do you dare to try it rashly?"

"Master's lesson is not far away. Although that person was successful, he was basically useless. How could you and I dare to take this step?"

Jiang Minghe couldn't help but be silent.

In fact, the more distinguished monks like them are, the more they are in awe of the heavenly calamity.

Because they have really witnessed their elders going through tribulation. It would be nice if he succeeded, as he would have an example in front of him, which would add a bit of firmness to the Taoism.

But they witnessed with their own eyes that their mentor died under the catastrophe, and most of his soul was annihilated, leaving only a little bit of his true spirit.

Zhou Hanguang paused and then said: "If Fellow Daoist Li succeeds, this thousand-year-old red fruit can still be kept, and there will be inexhaustible red fruit in the future."

"By then, we will be able to cultivate the next generation of disciples. It is not impossible to cultivate a real person who will form the core of Dan. This will fulfill Master's wishes."

Jiang Minghe closed his eyes, and finally waved his hand helplessly: "That's all, you are my senior brother, so I'll just follow you."

Beside the Zhuguoshu, Li Qing had no time to pay attention to the conversation between the two.

He carefully used the thousand-year-old red fruit essence to completely repair the injured area of ​​the fruit tree, barely stopping the leakage of the essence.

But Zhu Guoshu was severely injured, so it was still a bit reluctant.

He looked around, suddenly feeling blessed, and then pointed a finger.

"Pah...pah...pah..."

Under the fruit tree, a series of jade bottles shattered. The essence from the fruit tree itself turns into droplets of water, suspended in mid-air.

Li Qing didn't have time to give too many instructions and activated the spiritual bond between him and Chaoyin: "Ah Qing, please help me!"

When Chaoyin was in danger, he did not hesitate and waved the spiritual water ribbon on his body.

Sweet rain and ointment fall from the sky, sweet spring water gushes out from the ground, and the upper and lower flows merge, blending the essence of the fruit trees into a ball of crystal water.

"Crash..." The aura-filled water ball turned into a streamer and wrapped around the exposed roots of the red fruit tree.

Li Qing used the "dead wood to bloom" spell at the right time, and then another "dead wood to bloom".

The principles of the two are different, but their effects are similar. They quickly awaken the vitality of the red fruit tree.

The spiritual water streamers controlled by Chaoyin provide nourishment, preventing the fruit trees from absorbing the essence of the thousand-year-old red fruit.

"Buzz buzz..." The red fruit tree trembled slightly, its red coral-like branches became increasingly shiny, and there was a faint flash of spiritual light.

"Is it going to be done?" Jiang Minghe was happy at first, and then became a little anxious when he thought of what Li Qing had said before.

Zhou Hanguang shook his head: "According to Daoist Li, this is only a temporary solution. It still needs to be reborn in the fire..."

At this time, the state of the red fruit tree has been adjusted to the best.

Li Qing did not hesitate at all and suddenly triggered the Nirvana: "Nirvana!"

The red flames burned fiercely, covering the entire red fruit tree.

Because of Li Qing's path of combining water and fire, the spiritual water ribbon not only did not annihilate with it, but turned into a faint spiritual mist suspended in the middle.

Like adding fuel to the fire, the Nirvana fire burned even more vigorously!

Li Qing pushed the spiritual contract between himself and Azao to the limit, combined the power of the two, and triggered the mysterious artistic conception of "rebirth in the fire" in the Nirvana fire.

Indistinctly, the image of a one-legged crane-shaped divine bird emerged in the flames, circling and dancing around the red fruit tree.

"Cry——" The clear crane cry sounded in everyone's consciousness.

Then the red fruit tree suddenly burst into flames, absorbing all of Li Qing's Nirvana Fire.

"Did it work?" Jiang Minghe and Zhou Hanguang said at the same time, and then realized that the soundproofing ban had not been lifted.

Li Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the red fruit tree with a stern expression, and turned to the two of them after a long while.

Jiang Minghe couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart: "Daoyou..."

Zhou Hanguang gave him an elbow: "Is it not going well? Man proposes, and man disposes..."

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission!" Li Qing chuckled and bowed to the two of them, "Congratulations to the two Daoists for this third-level top-grade spiritual plant!"

The red fruit is a treasure that can be used by all Jindan Zhenren, and it has the magical effect of helping people to form a pill. It is a top-grade spiritual plant among the third-level spiritual plants.

"Really?!" Zhou Hanguang was even more unbelievable than Jiang Minghe.

Li Qing smiled slightly, flicked his fingers, and the sparks left on the red fruit tree were extinguished.

The whole fruit tree was integrated. The root that was damaged and exposed before was now twisted and entangled, and drilled into the cliff again.

Under the gaze of the three people, the red fruit tree glowed with a faint red light, and then burst out with vigorous vitality.

"Crack, crack..." The coral-like branches cracked, and tender young shoots sprouted from them, and then grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Soon, the red fruit tree became lush again.

Now that the leaf crown is complete, the spirituality of the red fruit tree is stimulated.

The spiritual energy in the secret realm was inspired and began to rush here crazily, pouring into the red fruit tree like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

"Hua La La..." The leaves swayed, and the green red fruit hidden in them began to gradually change from light red to dark red.

Not long after, the dense fruit fragrance came from the tree crown. The heavy fruit swayed slightly, conveying the joy of a good harvest.

"This new crop of red fruit, is it really as Daoist friend said, ripening ahead of time?!" Jiang Minghe was a little excited.

Li Qing smiled slightly and repeated: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission!"
