Chapter 357 Heaven-Burning Flame Core
As for the fire dragon from before, seeing Zhao Cai burrow into the lava and glancing at Shen Rugo in the distance, it also shook its head and tail and followed suit into the lava.
"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, Laozi, please show your power! You must protect Zhaocai and make sure nothing happens to it!"
Shen Rugo quickly put her hands together and muttered some incantations.
In the blink of an eye, the lava burst open with a "whoosh," and a figure rushed out—none other than Zhao Cai.
Zhao Cai held a fist-sized, crimson-gold crystal in its mouth. The crystal burned like a stellar flame, distorting the surrounding space.
"What kind of treasure is this?"
Shen Rugo was stunned.
"Your Highness, this is a good thing, I think it's called the Heavenly Flame Core!"
"Quickly refine it! It will definitely boost your cultivation level and even raise your fire attribute by one level!"
A lucky charm sounded at just the right moment.
"How am I supposed to refine something this hot?"
Shen Rugo quickly stepped back, fearing that she would be melted if the "Burning Heaven Flame Core" got too close.
"This……"
Zhao Cai was also stunned.
It itself is not afraid of the Heaven-Burning Flame Core, but Shen Rugo is different.
"Zhao Cai, stop with all that nonsense!"
You are a fire-attribute divine beast, so you are best suited for this kind of fire-attribute treasure. Don't leave it for me, just swallow it!
"If you become stronger, it means I become stronger. We're inseparable, master and servant!"
Shen Rugo suddenly said.
Along the way, Zhao Cai had been helping to find the treasure and had put in a lot of effort, but he hadn't gained any benefit from it.
Now that we've finally found something suitable for it, we should naturally give it to it.
"Your Highness, if I use it, won't your cultivation level increase more slowly?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Cai was deeply moved, realizing that its new little master had finally remembered it.
"Anyway, this secret realm is very large, and there are two mirror images of autumn and winter nearby, as well as two treasures. I don't need one more."
Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and refine it!
"I want to see if you can grow a few more hairs after you've been refined. Don't stay so bald all the time; you're embarrassing this princess!"
Shen Rugo continued talking non-stop, with a hint of teasing.
"Well, thank you so much, Your Highness!"
In fact, Zhao Cai had long wanted to devour the Burning Heaven Flame Core.
This crimson-gold crystal is no ordinary object; refining it will definitely greatly increase its strength.
Zhao Cai immediately opened its small mouth, and the fist-sized crystal instantly entered its mouth, becoming the size of a broad bean.
As the Blazing Heaven Core was swallowed by Zhao Cai, Shen Rugo immediately felt the surrounding temperature drop rapidly. The scorching heat disappeared, and even the place where lava had just spewed out no longer produced any more lava.
Could it be that the heat of this mirror image and the magma underground are all caused by the heat of this small crystal?
Shen Rugo was filled with shock, her eyes fixed on Zhao Cai.
She was terrified that Zhao Cai would be melted by the Burning Heaven Flame Core; if that happened, she would have nowhere to turn to cry.
Fortunately, no accident occurred. On the contrary, after swallowing the crystal, Zhao Cai flapped its chubby, bald wings and circled in the air twice, as if it could fly.
But it only circled twice before crashing to the ground with a thud.
"Zhao Cai, you swallowed that thing, why hasn't anything changed?"
Shen Rugo rushed to Zhaocai, grabbed it, and looked it over from head to toe.
"Your Highness, that crystal is still useful to me! Look at my wing, isn't there an extra feather now?"
Zhao Cai suddenly tapped its wings with its beak, its tone full of pride.
Upon closer inspection, Shen Rugo indeed found a tiny downy hair on each of Zhao Cai's chubby left and right wings.
It was just so subtle that she couldn't tell whether it was already there or had just grown out.
"Such a powerful Heaven-Burning Flame Core, and all you grew after swallowing it was two fine hairs? Your strength didn't increase much?"
Shen Rugo still couldn't believe it, and gently tugged at the two downy hairs.
"Your Highness, please have mercy! Don't pull it off! This is something I worked so hard to grow back!"
Zhao Cai cried out in alarm and flapped its wings to get away.
"It can bring wealth, and that Heaven-Burning Flame Core can turn this mirror image into a scorching summer and even stir up underground magma. You just swallowed it like that, and your strength really didn't increase?"
Shen Rugo still looked doubtful.
"It must have improved, right? Or should I try breathing fire?"
Seeing Shen Rugo's unwilling expression, Zhao Cai suddenly opened its mouth and breathed a mouthful of flame at a nearby rock.
The stone instantly turned bright red, and a layer of its surface melted away.
Shen Rugo gasped in shock.
Previously, the fire could at most burn down an ancient tree with a single flame, but now it can even heat a stone until it's red-hot and melt away its surface. The temperature is terrifying!
Such high-temperature flames would burn even a Foundation Establishment cultivator, leaving them with torn skin and blood. They might even kill cultivators in the late or peak stages of Foundation Establishment.
"Your Highness, are you satisfied?"
Zhao Cai was also a little pleased with himself.
Its innate abilities are growing stronger and stronger; the heat of this fire is almost comparable to that of magma.
"Great, Zhao Cai! Next time you have the chance, I'll definitely let you test your skills and burn those Qingyuan Sect disciples until their skin is torn and their flesh is ripped open, so they'll know the consequences of offending our Star Palace!"
Shen Rugo immediately cheered.
"Stop dawdling, Your Highness, let's move on to the next mirror image!"
Neither the person nor the bird dared to delay, and soon they arrived at the adjacent mirror image.
It is autumn here.
The moment Shen Rugo stepped inside, her eyes lit up instantly:
Everywhere you look, there are fruit trees laden with fruit, a scene of abundant harvest.
The fruits were red, yellow, and green, and there were many different kinds, many of which she had never seen before, making her dizzy with excitement.
"Zhao Cai, with so many fruits here, which one is the real treasure?"
As Shen Rugo asked the question, she picked a bright yellow fruit, rubbed it with her hands, and put it in her mouth, crunching it out.
The fruit was crisp and sweet upon tasting, and Shen Rugo couldn't help but exclaim, "So delicious!"
She had never tasted such delicious fruit since she came into this world.
After eating the fruit, a faint spiritual energy flowed through my body, making me feel extremely comfortable.
"Your Highness, now is not the time to eat! Let's hurry and find the treasure! The treasure here must be related to these fruits!"
Zhao Cai started urging again.
"Eat and look for food at the same time, so you can do both without delay."
"Hey Zhaocai, stop being so fussy! Try these fruits, they're much tastier than the ones from our mountain!"
As Shen Rugo spoke, she picked another fruit and threw it at Zhaocai.
Zhao Cai opened its mouth and caught the fruit, which instantly shrank to the size of a soybean and was swallowed whole without even chewing.
"Haha, Zhao Cai, you swallowed it without even chewing it? Aren't you afraid of choking to death?"
Shen Rugo couldn't help but laugh as she watched it eat like that.
No matter what it eats, Zhaocai swallows it whole in one gulp, which is such a waste.
"Your Highness, stop laughing! Don't you have a storage bag? Quickly fill up as many of these fruits as you can, and we'll search for treasures as we go!"
Having tasted the fruit, Zhao Cai's mouth watered, but this time he didn't urge them to hurry on their way.
