With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal-Chapter 640 - 556: Cavern, Firebird, Precious Coral!
The two circled around the bottom, following the corner of the embankment, as Liaohai gradually fell behind Meng Chuan in speed.
Meng Chuan glanced back and saw Liaohai was doing okay, just a little slower, so he didn’t worry too much.
He climbed the edge searching, his senses scattered.
He was looking for the hottest spot in this magma pool.
The reason was, during his previous preparation to set up a treasure site,
he had noted down all the heavenly treasures that could serve as the core of this site.
This demon nest volcano was a place where fire-attributed treasures frequently appeared.
Since he was here, he needed to search thoroughly.
The magma was extremely thick, severely impairing visibility.
Even his perception was affected, only reaching a few dozen yards before stopping.
Heavenly treasures aren’t so easily found.
They are either guarded by powerful celestial demons or located in harsh environments.
Thus, Meng Chuan wasn’t in a hurry, especially since he wasn’t afraid of the magma.
He took his time searching, it would take no more than an hour, not causing too much delay.
...
Time passed quickly, and Meng Chuan hadn’t found anything yet, feeling somewhat discouraged.
"How much longer will it take..."
Liaohai felt the time was really slow; he had given himself half an hour’s leeway.
If Meng Chuan didn’t come up soon, he would leave first.
Heavy water was his True Qi, and the spring was drying up quickly...
As Meng Chuan tapped his foot, he came upon another spot.
Seeing nothing, as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed the sensation of stirring the magma felt particularly thick.
"Is there something?"
His spirit was invigorated, his interest piqued.
He drilled deeper, until the sticky sensation in his palm faded, then turned back, confirming the densest spot of the magma.
The surroundings were murky; Meng Chuan gazed in anticipation.
Liaohai approached slowly, looking at him with an inexplicable expression.
"Dig down, slowly, don’t damage the treasure."
Meng Chuan demonstrated, squatting down, his hands glowing red, fiercely digging through the volcanic rock.
Seeing there really was something, Liaohai got excited too.
He rubbed his hands enthusiastically and joined in the dig.
Suddenly, a strange red shimmer flashed deep within.
Meng Chuan noticed, its color was different from the magma; more crystal clear, like fragments of a red star repeatedly refined.
He quickly brushed away the rocky soil, revealing a crystal branch-like coral rooted in the hidden flow.
Its entire surface streamed with deep, ice-cracked veins, and between the branches, unmelted white flame grains congealed, emitting steam-like white mist eerily in the magma.
"Crimson Marrow Coral?"
Liaohai’s expression turned delighted; he had almost given up, not expecting to find such a wonderful thing...
Meng Chuan nodded, gesturing the size with his hand, beaming with joy:
"Indeed, and it’s a large, aged one. Once planted, in a few years it could grow to fourth grade."
The efficacy of Crimson Marrow Coral far surpassed that of Shaolin’s Little Volcano training room.
This coral, planted back at the United University, coupled with other materials to construct the treasure site.
Not to mention the matters of the other four attributes, just the fire attribute fist training could be used all the way until one achieved the rank of Celestial King.
Crucially, this thing is ’alive.’
It has vitality present.
Not only does its ethereal steam facilitate fire attribute cultivation,
but with proper care, it can advance to fourth grade in a few years, supporting them without concern before the Celestial King rank.
It’s truly an extraordinary treasure, its value immeasurable!
"Brother Meng, you keep it. Let’s quickly head up; I can’t hold on much longer..."
Liaohai reminded, implying he wasn’t planning to partake.
If it were a treasure beneficial to the water attribute, he might thick-facedly seek a share.
Though this coral is excellent, aside from selling it for money, it held little purpose for him.
Moreover, he hadn’t exerted any effort finding this thing.
At most, he was just an accessory beside Meng Chuan...
Meng Chuan carefully dug out a large portion of the rocky soil, enveloping the roots of the Crimson Marrow Coral, and stored it in his waist badge.
Standing up again, feeling pleased, he said:
"Whoever sees it, shares in it. Once we’re out, I’ll transfer two hundred million to Master Liaohai."
The price of this coral can’t be measured with money.
Spending two hundred million, it eases the conscience.
Actually, he didn’t have to give anything, since he had found it himself.
But Meng Chuan just wanted to spend some money to seek a clear conscience.
A belief fulfilled.
