A Mortal's Start in the Spirit Beast Mountain

Chapter 311 The Fallen Treasure Coin and the Pure Heart Pendant

Perhaps it was because the Qianlan Ice Flame Fire Spirit had broken free, causing the balance of the ice flames below to be further disrupted; or perhaps it was because the Void Heaven Cauldron had been dragged to the most critical position, triggering some kind of restriction... Two completely different, yet equally awe-inspiring, loud noises came from the bottom of the cave almost simultaneously!

Immediately afterwards, two dazzling beams of light, one gold and one white, radiating astonishing spiritual energy fluctuations, shot out one after the other from the cave entrance that was spewing out residual ice flames, like shooting stars breaking free from their restraints, and soared into the sky!

"Another treasure has been discovered!"

"Rob!"

This time, the reaction of all the Nascent Soul cultivators was even faster and more intense than when they fought for the two-headed giant wolf before!

Clearly, they had all learned a lesson from the struggle they had just witnessed—they needed to act quickly and ruthlessly! They couldn't afford to give others, especially "variables" like Luo Ming, another opportunity to exploit!

"Whoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Boom!"

The various magical artifacts, supernatural powers, and spirit beast attacks were all significantly more powerful and faster than before! They even seemed to be fighting desperately! Clearly, after witnessing the preciousness of the transformed fire spirit, everyone had even higher expectations for these two newly appeared treasures, and their desire to compete for them was even stronger!

Wan Tianming's sword energy surged like a dragon, directly targeting the white light; Tian Wuzi's measuring ruler reappeared, transforming into layers of mountain shadows to suppress it; Mu Tengzi swung his willow branches, countless vines piercing out like spears; the Extreme Yin Ancestor's Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire transformed into a black sea of ​​flames that swept across the land; Qingyi Jushi lightly tapped his finger, and azure light filled the sky...

As for the bearded man, he was even more direct! He even gave up on using any fancy supernatural powers, simply pushing the Heaven-Supporting Demon Art to its limit, causing the golden scales on his body to shine brightly, making him look like a golden war god.

Without dodging or avoiding, he withstood the attacks of Tian Wuzi's condensed ice spike and Mu Tengzi's several sharp vine spears with his bare body. With two loud "booms", he dispersed the two attacks. His figure only swayed slightly, and then he reached out with his large hand, as fast as lightning, and firmly grasped the golden light that was closer to him!

The bearded man took a direct hit from two early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. Even with his mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, it wasn't easy. However, compared to the gains, the effort was worthwhile. He opened his palm and looked at the treasure he had just seized.

The golden light faded, revealing the true form of the treasure—a string of ancient copper coins, simple in design, dark gold in color, with slight rust on the edges and a square hole in the center! On the copper coins, the ancient seal script characters "Luo Bao" (meaning "Falling Treasure") faintly appeared, emanating a strange fluctuation of sealing and suppressing the spiritual power of the magical treasure!

"The Falling Treasure Coin!" Mutengzi exclaimed in surprise, recognizing the origin of the treasure, and her face showed a strong sense of regret.

This is a rare auxiliary ancient treasure that is rumored to be able to restrain and seal the opponent's magic weapon to a certain extent. It is very valuable, but I never expected that I would not be able to obtain it today.

Meanwhile, another white ray of light, amidst the fierce struggle of the crowd, traced a strange arc and flew towards the direction of Wan Tianming, the Yin Ancestor, and Qingyi Jushi.

Wan Tianming's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He suddenly raised his hand, and two purple spheres emitting a terrifying destructive aura appeared in his palm. Countless tiny purple electric snakes were crawling inside them!

"Heavenly Net True Lightning?" Upon seeing this, both the Extreme Yin Ancestor and Qingyi Hermit's expressions changed, a hint of fear and suspicion flashing in their eyes! Heavenly Net True Lightning is the true lightning condensed from the Heavenly Net True Technique, one of the three great divine techniques of the righteous path. Its power is boundless and it has a great restraining effect on their techniques and magic treasures! If struck by this lightning, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would not fare well!

The two men paused for a moment, their movements hesitant.

In that brief moment of hesitation, Wan Tianming's lips curled into a cold smile. The Heavenly Luo True Thunder in his hand vanished instantly. His other hand had already silently reached out, and a gentle yet resilient sword aura transformed into a ribbon. With a "whoosh," it easily rolled back the white light and landed in his palm.

As the white light dissipated, a strange jade pendant was revealed, crystal clear, crescent-shaped, with a surface that constantly shimmered with light, emanating an aura of tranquility and nourishment for the soul.

"The Illusion Moon Purifying Heart Pendant?" Wan Tianming's eyes lit up, clearly recognizing the treasure, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. This pendant has miraculous effects on stabilizing the mind, resisting inner demons, and nurturing the nascent soul. For a cultivator like him who is about to break through to the late stage of the nascent soul, its value is even comparable to some offensive ancient treasures.

"Fake?!" The Extreme Yin Ancestor and Qingyi Hermit also realized that what Wan Tianming had just taken out was not "Heavenly Net True Thunder" at all, but just a fake illusion simulated with pure thunder attribute magic power to fool people! The two of them immediately turned extremely ugly, feeling that they had been tricked by Wan Tianming, and they were both angry and aggrieved.

"Hahaha! Old Taoist Wan, your skill in bluffing has certainly improved!" The bearded man held the treasure-dropping coin in his hand and laughed heartily, his laughter filled with joy and pride.

Wan Tianming glanced coldly at the bearded man, carefully put away the Illusion Moon Heart-Cleansing Pendant, and said nothing more. His gaze returned to the center of the altar.

Seeing the three treasures that flew out of the cave one after another, each a rare and powerful artifact, the crowd became even more eager and anticipatory for the treasures that might emerge from the Void Cauldron next! (The speaker then adds: "Read this book!")

Everyone's breathing quickened involuntarily, their eyes fixed on the giant cauldron floating in the center of the altar, and the opening beneath it that was still slowly spewing out eerie blue flames.

In particular, the legendary miraculous elixir that is said to improve aptitude and extend lifespan—the Heaven-Mending Pill—has yet to appear! This is undoubtedly the biggest piece of meat hanging over everyone's hearts, and also the fuse that will ignite the final life-or-death struggle!

The air was thick with a sense of oppressive tension and restlessness, as if a storm was brewing.

Several Nascent Soul cultivators were already secretly circulating their magic power, preparing their strongest divine abilities, or they had their divine senses firmly locked onto several of the most powerful magic treasures and ancient artifacts, just waiting for the next wave of treasures to flash before they could strike with lightning speed to snatch them!

At this tense moment, when swords were about to be drawn and war seemed imminent—

"boom--!!!"

At the center of the altar, the deep blue opening suddenly trembled violently once more! An astonishingly cold aura, far more violent than ever before, erupted from the bottom of the cave!

Immediately afterwards, a giant pillar of fire, about ten feet in diameter, with a deep, almost black color and an eerie blue light flickering at its center, shot out of the cave entrance with a "whoosh" sound, like a volcano that had been suppressed for ten thousand years!

The pillar of fire did not rise straight up, but exploded the moment it burst out of the cave, turning into a vast, dark blue sea of ​​fire that completely enveloped the area several feet around the altar!

"Oh no! It's the Azure Ice Flame!" Wan Tianming's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in shock.

Having learned from their previous experience with the burst of cold air, everyone reacted much faster and more cautiously this time. However, the power of this wave of cold air far exceeded that of the previous one!

Luo Ming's pupils contracted slightly, and he felt a chill run down his spine. Although he was already some distance from the center of the altar, the biting cold that swept over him still made him feel as if his blood was about to freeze! His skin felt like it was being pricked by needles.

"This cold air is incredible!"

He dared not be negligent and exerted all his strength to activate the wisp of supreme yang spiritual fire within his body, which he had obtained from the fat yang bird and repeatedly nurtured and tempered by his own magical power!

"Buzz—!"

A crimson-gold flame rose from Luo Ming's dantian, instantly flowing through his meridians and limbs! A faint crimson-gold luster appeared on the surface of his skin, resisting the erosion of the cold air.

Secondly, without hesitation, he once again summoned the Fire Pearl he had obtained from the Crimson Fire Old Monster! Under the frenzied infusion of Luo Ming's pure mana, the Fire Pearl hovered above his head, bursting forth with a solid, thick, blood-red fire-attribute shield that firmly protected him within, isolating him from the external cold.

Finally, his own protective aura was also pushed to its limit, overlapping with the previous two layers of protection.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

The terrifying chill struck the crimson shield, producing a violent melting sound. The shield thinned and dimmed at a visible speed, but it ultimately managed to withstand the first and most intense wave of chilling impact!

"Even from this distance, the lingering chill from the Azure Ice Flame is still so astonishing... It truly is a wondrous flame of heaven and earth that even Nascent Soul cultivators are unwilling to easily come into contact with!"

Luo Ming was secretly shocked, gaining a deeper understanding of the power of the Azure Ice Flame.

Compared to Luo Ming's difficult resistance relying on his own methods and treasures, Han Li's situation was relatively "easier".

The moment the chill erupted, Qingyi Jushi, who was nearby, frowned slightly. A soft yet resilient azure spiritual light, like a thin veil, instantly enveloped Han Li, forming a layer of azure protective light shield that directly kept the astonishing chill out.

Judging from the methods used to deal with the cold air, Luo Ming used three different methods, while Qingyi Jushi only relied on his protective spiritual light to protect himself and Han Li. The terrifying difference between a Core Formation stage cultivator and a Nascent Soul stage cultivator is obvious.

However, while some people receive "care," others suffer misfortune.

Wu Chou's reaction was only a fraction slower than Luo Ming's and Han Li's. Perhaps it was because of his previous failure to seize the Jade Ruyi and the resulting mental setback, or perhaps it was because he was overconfident in his own strength, but at the moment the cold energy erupted, he hesitated for a second and did not immediately unleash his strongest defensive measures!

"Ah—!" Wu Chou felt an indescribable chill, like a leech, instantly spreading to his feet! The ghostly aura shield that he had hastily erected on his body was as flimsy as paper in the face of this terrifying cold, and was instantly frozen!

In an instant, the distant Yin Ancestor made his move. A ball of Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire, only the size of a fist and nearly black in color, shot out from his mouth. As if it were alive, it landed precisely on Wu Chou's frozen legs!

"Hiss hiss hiss—!!" The extremely yin and poisonous Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire and the extremely cold and pure Dry Blue Ice Flame collided, intertwined, and annihilated each other! They emitted violent corrosive and scorching sounds, and the black gas and blue light were entangled wildly!

However, the blue light was merely the unintentional cold emanating from the Dry Blue Ice Flame, and it was eventually dispelled by the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire.

"Useless!" The Extreme Yin Ancestor cursed, his face ashen.
