Chapter 93

"Are there any other spirit objects?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun's eyes also lit up.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yun immediately released the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow from the Swallowing Heaven Tower.

The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow darted out, opened its mouth, and inhaled, causing the nearby fire essence to converge towards it like a river.

Squawk!

The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow let out a long cry and then dove towards the lake ahead.

Although the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow's physical body had been destroyed, it still retained the form of a bird, with a sharply curved beak.

After it dove into the fire lake, it quickly pecked and swallowed a fire flame fish into its body.

"This guy." Xiao Yun was speechless. He immediately got to work, and his martial soul in his mind sea emitted a green light, enveloping him. Then he also dove into the lake. As soon as he entered, the fire currents immediately retreated.

Xiao Yun's martial soul seemed to have a natural intimidating effect on these fire essence currents.

However, when the fire flame fish sensed the life essence emitted by the green light on Xiao Yun's body, they immediately swam towards him. There were dozens of fire flame fish, each about a foot long, with a bright red body as if they were born from fire.

"I wonder what benefits there are to eating these fire flame fish?" Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes and immediately activated the Swallowing Heaven Technique. A vortex appeared, swallowing the group of fire flame fish into it, then began to refine and extract the fire essence from them.

"Hey, Xiao Yun, you're not being too ruthless, are you?" Seeing Xiao Yun swallow dozens of fire flame fish at once, the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow rolled its eyes and didn't hesitate. With a mental command, its beak suddenly enlarged, and a vortex formed, as if it could swallow heaven and earth.

Whoosh!

The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow opened its mouth and inhaled, causing the entire lake to churn as the fire currents were swallowed into its mouth. Some fire flame fish couldn't escape.

"Awesome!" After a big gulp, the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow couldn't help but let out a long cry. These fire flame fish contained fire essence, which was very rare and highly beneficial to it. Each one refined could restore some of its essence, gradually increasing its strength.

Xiao Yun also benefited greatly. The fire flame fish contained the purest fire essence. After the purple flame martial soul in his mind sea absorbed these fire essences, it showed a significant improvement. However, the limited number of fire flame fish couldn't bring a qualitative improvement to his purple flame martial soul.

"Let's check below, see if there's anything else." The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow continued to dive deeper into the lake.

The lake seemed small, but upon diving in, they found it was bottomless, clearly connected to the underground fire veins, forming this lake. They had to dive hundreds of meters to touch the bottom.

"This is fire crystal coral." Soon, the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow discovered a large area of crystal-clear coral at the bottom of the lake.

Xiao Yun followed closely and saw the bottom of the lake was a bright red, covered with crystal-clear coral.

Whoosh!

Without a word, the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow opened its mouth and started to swallow the coral.

These corals emitted a bright light, containing even more concentrated fire essence than the fire flame fish. Once fully refined, the benefits would be significant.

"Yah!" Just as Xiao Yun was about to act, a strange sound came from the coral pile.

"What is it?" Xiao Yun was taken aback and didn't act rashly. He stared intently ahead.

The coral was varied, some as tall as a foot, some like small trees, about a meter high.

But just as the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow was about to swallow and refine the coral, a small creature jumped out from the coral.

This was a furry, adorable little creature, only about a foot tall, covered in white fur. Its eyes shone like gemstones, and its long eyelashes fluttered, making it look like a porcelain doll.

"Yah!" Seeing the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow open its mouth to swallow the coral, the little creature extended its furry little paw and swiped through the air. Immediately, ripples spread across the lake bottom, and a mysterious wave of energy emanated, a white light shooting towards the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow.

This white light was like a sharp blade, cutting through the void, causing a mysterious wave of energy to ripple, making the vortex the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow had formed tremble and then tear open, sending a heart-stopping wave of energy.

"Such a mysterious wave of energy, it seems to contain the profound meaning of the Dao?" The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow narrowed its eyes, showing a serious expression. The vortex it had formed collapsed, unable to withstand the white light's attack. In a hurry, it quickly retreated, not daring to confront it.

As the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow retreated, a terrifying ripple immediately spread across the lake bottom, the energy wave wreaking havoc, even making Xiao Yun feel a sense of unease. He stared at the furry little creature, amazed, finding it hard to believe that such a small creature could be so powerful.

"Bad luck." The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow flashed to Xiao Yun's side.

"What kind of spirit beast is this?" Xiao Yun asked.

"Currently unknown." The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow looked serious, saying, "But this guy is not simple."

Yah!

In the coral at the lake bottom, the white-furred little creature waved its white, furry paws, continuously calling out to Xiao Yun and the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow, as if warning them that the coral belonged to it and no one else could touch it.

As it spoke, the little creature picked up a piece of fire crystal coral and started to munch on it.

"It seems we have to get past this little guy to obtain these things!" Xiao Yun furrowed his brow, feeling the situation was becoming tricky. The white-furred little creature looked small, its eyelashes fluttering, making it seem harmless and extremely cute.

But recalling how it easily defeated the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow with a single move, Xiao Yun felt a headache.

If they really fought, he might not be a match for this creature.

However, just as Xiao Yun hesitated, his martial soul in his mind sea started to stir.

A green light flashed, and a branch emerged from his forehead, directly heading towards the fire crystal coral.

Yah!

Seeing the green branch move, the white-furred little creature immediately called out, waving its paws, looking very angry.

But just as it was about to attack to teach Xiao Yun a lesson, its gemstone-like eyes suddenly shone brightly, almost drooling, as it stared intently at the green branch.

The aura emitted by the branch made the white-furred little creature's eyes sparkle.

Buzz!

The green branch pierced into the coral, a green light blooming, drawing out the fire essence.

Xiao Yun could feel a more concentrated essence than the fire flame fish flowing into his mind sea, slowly being absorbed by his martial soul. The branch formed from the fire essence became longer and thicker, with firelight swirling around it like mist.

Yah!

Seeing the martial soul pierce into the coral, the white-furred little creature pounced, hugging the branch and opening its mouth to bite into Xiao Yun's martial soul. In its lively eyes, a hint of excitement could be seen.

The little creature's teeth were very sharp. With one bite, the martial soul showed tooth marks, and green sap oozed out.

Gurgling!

The little creature quickly absorbed the sap, its eyes narrowing, looking intoxicated.

"This guy." Xiao Yun frowned, not expecting the white-furred little creature to take this action.

The martial soul in Xiao Yun's mind sea trembled, sensing the danger, and quickly tried to retreat to the mind sea.

But the little creature clung on tightly.

Buzz!

The martial soul glowed, emitting a green light, shaking the white-furred little creature off.

Whoosh!

The green light flashed, and Xiao Yun's martial soul retreated into his mind sea, no longer daring to venture out.

Yah!

Seeing the martial soul disappear, the white-furred little creature blinked its long eyelashes, waving its paws, calling out incessantly, its gemstone-like eyes showing a look of dissatisfaction, as if saying, "Don't go, I'm not full yet."

"This little guy has also set his sights on my martial soul." Xiao Yun frowned, feeling a headache. The green light in his mind sea was currently repairing the branch that had been bitten, with clear tooth marks visible.

"You have a powerful martial soul!" The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow muttered beside him.

Whoosh!

At that moment, the white-furred little creature leaped up, like a snowball, shooting towards Xiao Yun.

"This guy isn't giving up?" Xiao Yun was speechless, quickly using his hands to draw in essence energy, like dragons and snakes emerging, sweeping towards the white-furred little creature, trying to stop it. However, the little creature was quite fierce, and with a wave of its paw, a light bloomed, causing Xiao Yun's attack to collapse, a ripple spreading like a mountain-moving wave, pushing him back several meters in the lake.

"This little creature is so strong." Xiao Yun staggered back, feeling quite surprised. The white-furred little creature's casual attack was stronger than a True Essence Realm cultivator, seemingly containing some profound meaning, giving a sense of being unstoppable.

As Xiao Yun was surprised, a white light flashed, and the white-furred little creature hugged his leg and climbed up.

The little creature was too fast, even catching Xiao Yun off guard.

Yah!

The white-furred little creature climbed onto Xiao Yun's shoulder, waving its paws, chattering incessantly.

Although Xiao Yun didn't understand what the little creature was saying, he knew it was definitely interested in his martial soul.

As it gestured, its eyes were fixed on Xiao Yun's forehead, where the green branch had emerged.

Yah, yah!

The white-furred little creature chattered, and seeing Xiao Yun ignore it, it became anxious. Finally, it pointed to the distant red fire crystal coral and then to Xiao Yun's forehead, gesturing repeatedly, as if offering to trade.

"Xiao Yun, quickly agree with it." The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow also seemed to understand, its eyes glowing with excitement, urging Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun showed a thoughtful expression.

The fire crystal coral was in large quantities. If all were refined, the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow could recover some of its strength.

Yah!

The white-furred little creature blinked its long eyelashes, looking up at Xiao Yun pitifully, its small paws grabbing a strand of his hair, making a coquettish gesture, making it look even more adorable.

"Alright." Xiao Yun was also helpless. The white-furred little creature was too strong, and he found it hard to deal with. Now that it wasn't forcing the issue, he could only agree to the trade. He focused his mind, and a light flashed from his forehead, a dewdrop appearing.

This was a green, glowing dewdrop.

"Such a strong life aura." The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow's eyes narrowed. It had seen Xiao Yun use these dewdrops to refine pills before, which had made the Condensing Essence Pill perfectly successful, significantly increasing Xiao Yuan's strength, clearly bringing great benefits.

Seeing Xiao Yun take out these dewdrops again, it was even more surprised.
