Chapter 477: Chapter 452: Treating Lin Yan
The Cangyan Mysterious Land had its own independent space, and the area was immensely vast, seemingly boundless.
Lu Yan had flown for hundreds of miles, and not to mention Spiritual Medicine, he had hardly seen any plants at all.
"Eh, what is that?"
Suddenly, Lu Yan spotted a flash of red light amidst a pile of chaotic rocks.
Lu Yan’s Spiritual Sense immediately spread out, enveloping the pile of rocks, where he saw a half-meter tall Spiritual Medicine with several quail-egg-sized red fruits, its roots off the ground, constantly hopping and rushing through the rocks.
"Spiritual Medicine."
Lu Yan’s eyes lit up, his mind moved, and the power of heaven and earth surged like countless threads, wrapping around the Spiritual Medicine.
The Spiritual Medicine was greatly startled and tried to escape, but how could it get away from Lu Yan’s Five Finger Mountain?
The power of heaven and earth swept down, entangling the Spiritual Medicine layer by layer.
Lu Yan reached out and caught the Spiritual Medicine in his hand.
"One plant in hand."
Lu Yan smiled, then suddenly a thought struck him.
"Hold on, this Spiritual Medicine has a Fire Attribute and contains a rich essence, perhaps it could help Senior Lin Yan recover."
With this thought, Lu Yan immediately took out a piece of Gold of Fire Magic.
Throughout these years, Lin Yan’s soul fire had been hidden within the Gold of Fire Magic.
Of course, the Gold of Fire Magic would also be consumed. Over the years, Lin Yan had already used up three pieces of Gold of Fire Magic, and this was the fourth piece, but the situation had not improved significantly.
Lu Yan’s Primordial Spirit flew out, and his soul power enveloped the Spiritual Medicine, beginning to refine the medicinal power of the Spiritual Medicine.
Soon, the impurities were removed, leaving only the essence.
With a push of Lu Yan’s Primordial Spirit’s palm, the fiery red essence, like a viscous liquid, entered the Gold of Fire Magic.
"It’s effective."
Lu Yan’s eyes brightened, he could clearly feel that Lin Yan’s soul fire was absorbing the essence of the Spiritual Medicine, and the soul fire gradually became stronger.
Lu Yan was invigorated, and sent all of the Spiritual Medicine’s essence into the Gold of Fire Magic, sealed it inside for Lin Yan’s soul fire to slowly absorb, then put away the Gold of Fire Magic and continued to fly forward, searching for more Spiritual Medicine.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Yan had flown out thousands of miles.
A huge mountain peak came into view.
This mountain peak, occupying a vast area, was different from other places because it was lush with a large number of fiery red Big Tree Phantom Images as well as other exotic plants.
"There might be Spiritual Medicine here."
Lu Yan pondered silently, but as he approached the mountain, he stopped.
Because, he sensed that on the mountain, there was a terrifying aura emanating, giving him an extremely oppressive feeling.
An aura of Immortality.
On the mountain, there resided beings of the Immortal Realm, and not just ordinary immortals, but most likely creatures from the Beast Clan of the Immortal Second Layer.
Lu Yan concealed his aura and took a detour.
In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.
Finally, Lu Yan saw another Spiritual Medicine, this one with three blade-like leaves. As it moved, it actually emitted blade energy, slashing towards Lu Yan.
"It’s actually attacking, that’s unusual, it’s just too weak."
Lu Yan said to himself.
The attack power of this Spiritual Medicine was at most comparable to a being of the Spiritual God of the First Transformation, and it was easily suppressed by Lu Yan.
Taking out the Gold of Fire Magic, he found that the essence of the previous Spiritual Medicine had been almost completely absorbed by Lin Yan’s soul fire, which had obviously grown stronger, the flames leaping as if there was a spiritual consciousness emanating from them, albeit faintly.
"There’s hope now."
Lu Yan showed joy, continued to refine this Spiritual Medicine, preserved its essence, and injected it into the Gold of Fire Magic.
In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.
During these days, Lu Yan had found two more Spiritual Medicines, both refined into essences for Lin Yan to absorb.
"Lu Yan..."
After absorbing the essence of four Spiritual Medicines, Lin Yan’s soul fire was extremely vigorous, and finally, a spiritual consciousness was transmitted.
"Senior, you’re awake, that’s great."
Lu Yan was overjoyed.
"Where is this?"
From within the soul fire, Lin Yan’s spiritual fluctuations were transmitted.
"Overseas, the Desolate Land."
Lu Yan said.
Lin Yan was silent for a while, then said, "Thank you."
"Why do you say that, Senior? If it were not for your self-sacrifice against the enemy back then, I would have perished at the hands of the Immortal Clan. I have always said, as long as I am alive, I will surely find a way to revive you."
Lu Yan said solemnly.
"Haha, I knew I hadn’t misjudged you, by the way, how did you get overseas, what’s the situation in Da Chu now, and the Immortal Clan? Could it be that you were..."
Clearly, Lin Yan suspected that Lu Yan had fled Da Chu after being defeated by the Immortal Clan.
Lu Yan smiled and briefly recounted the events of the past few years, as well as the current situation.
"Yinuo must be saved, but do not act rashly, the Immortal Fourth Layer is far beyond our ability to contend with," Lin Yan advised.
"I understand, Senior. This Cangyan Mysterious Land is indeed a good place; there may be treasures here that could completely restore you. Please rest for now, Senior. I will continue the search."
Lu Yan said.
Afterward, he put away the Gold of Fire Magic and continued searching for Spiritual Medicine.
Regrettably, for three consecutive days, he came up empty-handed.
The Spiritual Medicine here, every single one was invaluable and naturally scarce. Skull Fire Mountain would send people to gather herbs every few years, relying entirely on luck to find any.
"Hmm? A little tiger?"
Suddenly, Lu Yan spotted an unusual small tiger, only about a foot tall with three-colored patterns on its body, and most surprisingly, it had wings on its back, walking elegantly atop a fiery-red big tree.
"No wait, it’s not from the Beast Clan, but a Spiritual Medicine..."
Lu Yan’s eyes were filled with True Vigor, sparkling, as he saw through the little tiger’s True Body.
Its True Body was actually a lotus flower, bizarrely with three layers of petals each of a different color, and atop the petals danced a layer of flame.
The colors of the petals matched the flame’s colors, red as the first layer, yellow the second, and blue the third.
This little tiger was none other than the manifested medicinal power of this Spiritual Medicine.
"Could this be the Tri-colored Flame Lotus? It can even transform into a three-colored tiger form, worth a fortune indeed."
Lu Yan felt a surge of excitement in his heart.
Having spent so much time in the Elixir Workshop, he was, of course, intimately familiar with many Spiritual Medicines. He had read about the Tri-colored Flame Lotus in a book on the subject.
A common Tri-colored Flame Lotus was extremely precious – the Elixirs refined using it as a main ingredient were effective even for those in the Immortal Realm.
Not to mention such a Spiritual Medicine that could transform into a tiger.
To put it plainly, this Spiritual Medicine had become spirit-imbued.
Lu Yan immediately sped towards it, reaching out with his palm mid-air as energy from heaven and earth poured in, covering the Tri-colored Flame Lotus.
In the moment Lu Yan made his move, the Tri-colored Flame Lotus also detected him. Its limbs kicked and with a whoosh, like a streak of red lightning, it dashed out. Its speed was unbelievably fast, managing to evade Lu Yan’s attack and heading straight for the Cangyan Mysterious Land.
A duck that was all but in his grasp, Lu Yan would not let it fly away so easily. He pushed the Starry Sky Step to its limit; with stars twinkling beneath his feet, he pursued the Tri-colored Flame Lotus.
However, the speed of the Tri-colored Flame Lotus was incredibly fast. Its small wings beat so rapidly they hummed, and for a moment, Lu Yan could not catch up.
The two of them, one chasing and the other fleeing, sped off lightning-fast, crossing a thousand miles in the blink of an eye.
Ahead, heat waves rolled and the air grew even hotter.
A Lava Lake appeared in front.
With a splash, the Tri-colored Flame Lotus dove into the Lava Lake.
"You think you can escape by using the Lava Lake? Not so easy."
Protecting himself with the Rule of Fire, Lu Yan activated the Skull Flame Formula and plunged into the Lava Lake, his Spiritual Sense continually locked onto the Tri-colored Flame Lotus.
The Tri-colored Flame Lotus, within the lava, still moved with incredible speed, as if it were in its natural element, swiftly weaving through it.
Of course, Lu Yan wasn’t slow either. He employed the Rule of Fire, and the lava in front of him parted automatically.
All things considered, Lu Yan’s speed was still a tad faster, and he was closing the distance.
Suddenly, the lava surged, and a massive creature charged towards Lu Yan.
It was a giant fish, tens of meters long, with an elongated body and a sharp mouth reminiscent of a sword.
It closely resembled the swordfish he had seen in his previous life.
Lu Yan’s hand turned into a knife, slicing through the air, and with a boom, he repelled the swordfish several miles away, its head even bursting open.
"A being at the level of Transcendance Tribulation Stage."
Lu Yan’s heart stirred. As he prepared to continue the pursuit of the Tri-colored Flame Lotus, figures appeared from all sides, charging at him.
All were swordfish, each dozens of meters in length.
A sweep of Lu Yan’s Spiritual Sense revealed at least a hundred of them.
Furthermore, all of them were at the level of Crossing Tribulation Fusion Tao.
"Kill!"
Lu Yan shouted in a low voice as the Five-Colored Battle Knife appeared. Man and knife became one, forming a five-colored blade light that rushed forward. Everything in its path, be it the swordfish at the Nirvana period or those at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, was cleaved in half.
Lu Yan charged through them and continued after the Tri-colored Flame Lotus.
But the swordfish, to some extent, did delay Lu Yan, allowing the Tri-colored Flame Lotus to escape a distance further, reaching the edge of the Lava Lake.
At the edge of the Lava Lake, there was a passage that was also filled with lava, leading to an unknown destination.
To be precise, the lava of the Lava Lake was flowing from this passage.
The Tri-colored Flame Lotus charged directly into this channel and kept moving forward, with Lu Yan relentlessly pursuing it.
This channel was of indeterminate length, buried deep underground, and Lu Yan followed it for a while before he passed through and entered an even larger expanse of lava.
More precisely, it was a Lava Sea.
Because as Lu Yan sent his Spiritual Sense out, he discovered that he was still underground, and the lava seemed boundless, even his Spiritual Sense couldn’t fathom its end.
Upon reaching this place, the Tri-colored Flame Lotus seemed somewhat excited, as if having seized a lifeline, and fled even more desperately.
"There’s a problem, I can’t let you keep escaping."
Something shifted in Lu Yan’s heart, and his Primordial Spirit surged, sending a Big Tree Phantom Image slamming towards the Tri-colored Flame Lotus.
Having seemingly gained sentience, this Tri-colored Flame Lotus had a soul just like a cultivator, so the Big Tree Phantom Image could be effective.
But if its soul were destroyed, the potency of the medicine would likely be severely reduced, which was why Lu Yan had not used a Soul Attack thus far.
However, something seemed off at this moment, and he couldn’t concern himself with that any longer.
Boom!
The Big Tree Phantom Image caught up to the Tri-colored Flame Lotus in an instant, bearing down upon it.
The three-colored tiger’s body trembled, and its tiger form dissipated, reverting to its original shape – a lotus flower with three different colors.
