Chapter 6 - b.l.o.o.d.y Broken Cloth

Li Mu turned the broken cloth in his hand over and over again to think over, but other than the bloodstains that were too bright, everything else was normal. In the end, his face darkened, and he directly raised the Zhan Qianqiu in his hand, and stabbed at the broken cloth.

"Rumor has it that experts of the Divine Abilities Realm have unbelievable skills. They are able to refine magical equipment with incredible power. Could it be that this tattered cloth is a magical equipment?"

"But who would have the time to refine such a magical equipment? A piece of torn cloth stained in blood! But to be able to withstand Zhan Qianqiu's attack is not ordinary at all, I placed him close to me, it is a treasure for protection. "

"If only I hadn't been poisoned. Otherwise, if I had relied on this river crossing step's sacred art, it's not impossible for me to leave this place! It's a pity that I can't use my Qi, and can't cultivate this river crossing step! "

Li Mu, who was sitting on the ground, had a long face and his body and mind were completely exhausted. Looking at the fiery-red lotus flower in the lava far away and smelling its aroma, his stomach could not help but growl.

"No!" If this goes on, I must die of thirst. Or did he die of starvation and thirst before the poison appeared? "

Li Mu looked around unwillingly, hoping to find some food, but the reality was cruel, in this hot cave, other than the red vines, there was nothing.

Li Mu who was extremely thirsty suddenly had his pupils constrict, he realized that at the place where he cut the scarlet vine in half, a large amount of scarlet red juice had flowed out.

"Forget it, it's someone who's about to die anyway. I'm even poisoned by the Unholy Pepper, so why should I be afraid of these vines!"

Following Li Mu's crazed inhalation, a somewhat boiling liquid was sucked into his mouth and swallowed into his stomach. The light red colored liquid was not hard to drink, and besides the slight sweetness from the liquid, it took him about ten gulps to stop.

The vines that had been sucked dry had already withered away to a size that was more than half the size of an adult's arm. Now that they had shriveled up, they were no longer as thick as an infant's arm.

"This is great, I didn't expect the red vines to be so watery, the taste is also not bad."

Li Mu licked his lips and revealed a satisfied expression, with so many vines, he would naturally be able to hold on for a long time.

It had to be known that although Li Mu was unable to use the True Essence in his body, his physical strength alone was already a thousand kilograms.

"If that's the case, then it's not impossible to leave this d.a.m.ned place. As long as I collect enough vines …" "Heh heh."

Looking at the dried up vines in his hands, a thought flashed through Li Mu's mind. A rather stupid yet very practical method appeared in a flash, and when he thought of it, Li Mu's tensed face relaxed a little.

But just at that moment, Li Mu's face changed, his entire body suddenly flashed with a scarlet Huaguang, at the same time he felt that his Dantian was ignited with a scarlet flame, it was extremely uncomfortable.

"What's going on? "So hot …"

Li Mu lay on the ground with his fists tightly clenched, the veins on his face bulged, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down. At the same time, his skin had become unusually red, as though it was burnt.

Li Mu's entire body was blazing unbearably hot, he frantically took off all of the clothes on his body, completely naked, but even so, the heat did not seem to have any intention of retreating, rather, it made the hot Li Mu roll around non-stop on the ground.

"AHH!"

At this moment, Li Mu even wanted to jump into the nearby magma pool to save his life, because this kind of pain was truly unbearable.

"I can't take it anymore!"

As Li Mu circulated his True Essence, the poison from the Netherworld Udumbara Flower that was sealed by Li Yuncheng instantly spread throughout his body.

A wave of extremely chilling energy, with Li Mu's dantian as the center, instantly flowed through all the meridians in his body. At the same time, Li Mu's face instantly turned jet black.

After Li Mu closed his eyes, in the entire cave, other than the sounds of lava boiling and bubbling, there were no other sounds.

Suddenly, the blood-stained rag that was stripped off by Li Mu together with his clothes lit up with a piercing blood light, and the blood light flashed and entered Li Mu's unconscious body.

After an unknown period of time, the drowsy Li Mu slowly opened his tightly shut eyes.

Li Mu strangely sat up, he looked around and realised that he was still inside the cave, not far away from the magma pool that was still bubbling.

Once the True Essence was activated, the poison sealed by Li Yuncheng could no longer be controlled. Li Mu thought that he should have died from the poison.

"Hmm? "What's going on?"

"Could it be that this Scarlet Vine has some sort of detoxification ability?" "No, this isn't right. The Netherworld Pepper is a poison that causes extreme Yin to freeze. Although I don't know if this red vine is poisonous or not, it is extremely Yang and just happens to be able to counter our poison."

Li Mu had a rough guess after thinking about it, he was at a loss of whether to laugh or cry. Originally, he wanted to die for the rest of his life, but did not expect that he would benefit from a disaster.

"Where did these vines come from, to have such a magical effect?"

After being overjoyed for a while, Li Mu quickly calmed down and looked at the Scarlet Vines. He felt that it was much more pleasing to the eye, he tried to circulate the True Essence in his body, and discovered that he could now circulate the Essence in his body unimpeded.

"Is this the feeling of the precelestial stage? It's really amazing! "

After circulating the vitality in his body around the meridians in his body for a cycle, Li Mu muttered to himself lightly. He was somewhat depressed, he had long reached the precelestial stage, but it was only now that he experienced the feeling of the precelestial stage.

"Pah!" With an explosive sound, rubble flew everywhere and a shallow palm print landed on the rock wall.

"It really is as different as heaven and earth from the tenth layer of the solid. Although the strength of the tenth layer of the solid state is extraordinary and has tempered the body to the limit of a mortal, it is on a completely different level compared to the strength strengthened by true essence."

"Now I can circulate my true essence. I don't know if I can pluck that lotus flower, but it will definitely grow extraordinary in the magma. If I can obtain it, it might be able to help me greatly advance my cultivation!"

After recovering his strength, Li Mu looked at the fiery-red lotus in the magma pool and licked his lips. Thinking of this, he started to circulate his Heaven and Earth Art, circulating all of the vital energy in his body to the surface of his body, forming a layer of faint milky white light.

Transforming elemental energy into a membrane was a way for Pre-Sky Realm martial artists to utilize their origin energy. Although Pre-Sky Realm martial artists could not channel their origin energy outside their body like Xiantian realm martial artists could, it could still be attached to the surface of their body.

Relying on the protection of his vitality, Li Mu slowly approached the magma pool.

"It seems like this thing is not fated for me. I didn't come for nothing this time. I actually dispelled the so-called unsolvable poison of the Netherworld Pepper and got my life back. It's time to think of a way to leave this place …"

Li Mu did not continue fighting for the fire lotus in the magma pool. It was not because he had lost interest, but because he knew his own limits.

Previously, because Li Mu knew that he did not have much time left, he did not have much interest in the absolute techniques carved on the stone tablets, but now, it was different. After removing the poison from the Netherworld Pepper, he did not have any worries, so his interest in the absolute technique naturally increased.

Amongst the cultivators, who would not wish to obtain an unparalleled secret technique, Li Mu was no exception. Furthermore, the river crossing step was the key to whether or not he could leave this place safely.
