733: Chapter 486 733: Chapter 486 It was as if they had been tricked into joining some organization, some were injured, and having experienced the wicked tactics of those bad people, they felt extremely grateful to their rescuers.
As for the children who had yet to be harmed, although they were unscathed, they were rescued from fear and were also very appreciative of their benefactor.
In the past couple of days, the two groups of children got together and chatted, learning that they had escaped from a terrifying organization.
It was their current Master and the Saint Master who had saved them.
The Masters possessed great abilities, and there was the Saint Master, with even more formidable powers than the Masters’ wives.
At this moment, they witnessed the powerful Saint Master go on an adventure, to hunt for treasures.
They saw in the video that their Saint Master entered a volcano as if it were a furnace, as casual as entering a room.
Amidst the molten blaze, not a bit did it mar the Saint Master’s godly appearance; he could fly in the heart of the fire, wherever he went.
It seemed like the fire itself would steer clear of him, not daring to touch his clothes.
The garment worn by the Saint Master appeared to be an invulnerable vestment robe.
The nine beauties knew that Jiang Tang was actually just wearing ordinary brocade garments and hadn’t put on any vestment robe.
He was so formidable entirely because of his own abilities, because his body’s defensive cultivation technique was too strong.
This might be something unique to a Mahayana, something different from their abilities; tasks that they could not accomplish seemed simple in this man’s eyes.
When Jiang Tang entered the hot spot of the volcano, he indeed utilized his Body-Protecting Defense Spell.
Being a Great Power Holder, he casually cast a ring of light, and the external fire couldn’t bother him at all.
Then he also employed a cooling spell within his ring of light, so it felt not the slightest discomfort from the increasingly intense heat deeper in the volcano.
He made it so that his Fire Spirit Root, using the Star-absorbing Spell, converted all the volcanic magma into Fire Spirit Energy, which entered the rings of light he had prepared in advance—using his own space to create one storage ring after another.
Just like how he previously stored those Rainbow Light Spiritual Energy, he stored all this Fire Spirit Energy belonging to fire within his own space.
As for himself, seeing as his Fire Spirit Root had ascended to Great Perfection, he naturally wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to act.
Jiang Tang found that Qianji Fire and Xuanming Spiritual Fire were still squandering resources; despite the abundant Fire Crystal Stones, he saw that the two Fire Spirits’ bellies were swelling from eating.
Still indulging in the extravagance, they kept consuming Fire Crystal Stones, and he did not burst into a rage.
He merely took out his Storage Bag quickly and began to collect Fire Crystal Stones with haste.
Xuanming Spiritual Fire and Qianji Fire Spirit understood their master’s intention.
Privately they thought their boss was stingy, since these were the treasures they had found themselves and should be free for them to consume.
Why such heartache?
The master would rather generously give to others than allow them to eat their fill.
Xuanming Spiritual Fire and Qianji Fire Spirit were somewhat discontent and hence thought of a way to stash away the Crystal Stones.
The two Fire Spirits, previously in joy over the Crystal Stones, were now satiated but unwilling to give up those Fire Spirits.
They wanted to seize those Fire Spirits, turning themselves even more powerful.
Jiang Tang seemed to have noticed their intentions and immediately stopped them; if the Fire Spirit Cave were without Fire Spirits, then his base would lack such powerful resources.
He only allowed them to eat some Fire Spirits and decided to keep two; then thinking of his residence in the Capital City, he allowed them to leave three Fire Spirits behind.
Xuanming Spiritual Fire and Qianji Fire Spirit, after consuming so many Fire Crystal Stones and facing more Fire Spirits, could only agree to their master’s will.
To capture and consume Fire Spirits, even the Fire Spirits within the volcano developed spiritual intelligence.
Noticing that powerful Fire Spirits had entered and were devouring the resources they used for purification and cultivation, these crystals, they didn’t just sit by.
They continuously spewed forth molten, fierce flames to fight.
Unfortunately for them, Xuanming Spiritual Fire and Qianji Fire Spirit were far more formidable than these Fire Spirits, having not only enhanced their abilities but also absorbed Immortal Qi.
Of course, they were no match for those merely born from the Mortal World’s volcanoes.
When Xuanming Spiritual Fire and Qianji Fire Spirit were first taken as pets by Jiang Tang, they already possessed the abilities of a volcanic Fire Spirit.
Over the past few months, the two might have evolved, and how could the Fire Spirits of the volcano be their match.
They could only be suppressed by their opponent, letting them pick off their resources.
And this human intruder, his power was so formidable that he wasn’t even afraid of the fire they spewed.
Jiang Tang kept collecting crystal stones, and the volcano’s fire spirits became anxious.
The enemy aimed to dig out all of their long-stored resources.
The fire spirit energy above had already been absorbed by this person, and if he were to take away all these crystal stones as well,
then their place would become no different from any ordinary volcano, devoid of any remaining value.
The fire spirits, unwilling to relent, thought about ganging up; the moment they entertained the idea of attacking together, two fire spirits sprang into action.
The Xuanming Spiritual Fire and Qianji Fire Spirit, sated from consuming the Fire Crystal Stones, joined forces to deal with them.
“Serve, serve, serve,” the fire spirits shrieked, unwilling to be devoured by their opponent.
Among them, three or four fire spirits were a bit stronger and more intelligent, initially leading the less formidable in combat.
Latterly, they realized that the human had spared a few fire spirits.
Knowing they were no match for either type of spiritual fire, amidst the relentless struggle, and with fire clashing against fire, the enemy’s flames were just too fierce.
Especially the flames emitted by the Qianji Fire Spirit; whether it was other fire spirits or various other fires, they all sensed the slaughter.
The raging fire consumed by the Qianji Fire Spirit was used to encircle those fire spirits.
The Xuanming Spiritual Fire was more temperate, but now it was competing to collect minions and absorb fire spirits to become stronger; it wouldn’t yield to the Qianji Fire Spirit.
Normally, the Xuanming Spiritual Fire, which was used for alchemy, could be gentle or firm.
Facing its rival, the Qianji Fire Spirit, they vied for favor, never giving way in front of their master.
The advantage of Xuanming Spiritual Fire over the Qianji Fire Spirit was in refining pills better.
However, the Qianji Fire Spirit was more potent in slaughter, making it more suitable for dealing with enemies.
Xuanming Spiritual Fire could also be used against enemies.
Jiang Tang liked this type of fire for alchemy.
How could he allow his pill venture to falter?
Jiang Tang watched as the two types of fire spirits joined forces and swiftly obliterated many fire spirits, absorbing the poor creatures into their own forms.
In the end, as he wished, he only left behind three types of fire sources.
Jiang Tang had the two types of fire sources take their minions into the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space.
The Xuanming Spiritual Fire and the Qianji Fire Spirit did not linger; they were too full from feeding and had absorbed fire spirits, so entering the space then was ideal for their next evolution.
At that moment, Jiang Tang did not immediately return to his Flying Artifact.
The volcano had lost its previous heat, and without the control of the fire spirits, it was no longer as formidable.
All the Fire Crystal Stones within the magma had been cleared out.
But Jiang Tang discovered there was another kind of fire marrow—a liquid that could turn into a Fire Crystal Stone.
This liquid was abundant and could be used to refine Magical Treasures—an excellent material.
If he was reluctant to give the Fire Crystal Stones to someone else, this liquid could be given instead.
Just like his current Fire Spirit Root, he could use this liquid for cultivation.
There was so much of this liquid that he couldn’t store it in his Storage Bag, for the temperature of the liquid was scalding.
Jiang Tang could only think of collecting the liquid into his inner space, digging a pond inside that didn’t hold water but would contain the liquid, then shielding it with a rainbow light.
Many things that Jiang Tang took into his space were enveloped by rainbow light.
This ensured that they did not affect other items or the growth of the Demonic Beasts within his space.
The growth of medicinal herbs was uninterrupted, and the water quality within the space remained unchanged.
Jiang Tang refrained from placing certain more important things into the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space.
He kept a card up his sleeve, as this space was a Magical Treasure created by someone else.
Although he found it and formed a contract with it,
should a day come when he ascends to the heavens and encounters the original owner of the Magical Treasure, he would be obliged to return it.
Just like with the Hell Palace Magical Treasure, which could be used to fend off enemies, truly valuable items should not be placed inside it.
The space within his body was truly his own.
He did not know whether his inner space would shatter in the event of certain circumstances, such as his own demise.
Currently, no one was his match.
