I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 449: Nascent Soul Beast

Once Master Hua confirmed that this was the right place, he quickly took out another treasure from his storage bag. It was round and white, emitting a faint cold aura.

"This item was specially prepared by my master for this trip. It's called the Frosty Disk, made from ten thousand years of cold jade. With this treasure protecting us, we can even venture deep into the lava without any hindrance."

As Master Hua spoke, he cast a spell towards the Frosty Disk, causing the temperature around them to drop suddenly. Lin Qing even felt a slight chill.

Not only that, Lin Qing also noticed that their figures seemed to have become hidden.

Master Hua smiled. "Now we just have to wait for the rabbit to come to the trap. According to my master, the Lava Spirit will come out from below once every month or two. Back then, he accidentally disturbed the Lava Spirit, but it remained hidden all these years. Now that we're hiding, we might be able to catch the Lava Spirit in a month or two."

Upon hearing Master Hua's words, Lin Qing relaxed. It seemed that this wasn't a difficult task after all.

However, Lin Qing was curious about the possible treasures in the magma cave. But from the surroundings, it seemed like there was nothing there. Could it be hidden beneath the lava?

While Lin Qing was thinking, suddenly his expression changed and he immediately transmitted a message to Master Hua.

"What? The alarm formation at the entrance has been triggered?" Master Hua was shocked. When he heard Lin Qing's earlier uneasiness, he thought Lin Qing was overthinking, but he didn't expect the formation he set up to be triggered so quickly.

"Perhaps other cultivators accidentally discovered this place and are using it for cultivation," Master Hua speculated.

At this moment, Lin Qing looked at the magma cave and said, "Regardless, let's go up and see what's happening. If something happens here, it might disturb the Lava Spirit."

"Agreed." Master Hua also thought of this point, so the two of them continued walking along the dried-up riverbed.

After walking for a while, Lin Qing and Master Hua saw a huge figure in the distance. It was long and narrow, with a fast speed, resembling a lizard from afar.

"It's a demonic beast." As soon as he saw it, Master Hua's expression relaxed, and he said, "It's not another cultivator, just a demonic beast."

But just as he finished speaking, his expression became tense again. "This demonic beast can actually conceal its cultivation. I can't quite tell. Fellow Daoist Lin, can you see?"

Upon hearing Master Hua's question, Lin Qing immediately transmitted his voice to Master Hua. With his powerful spiritual sense, he could see at a glance that this was actually a Nascent Soul Beast.

"A Nascent Soul Beast?"

Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, Master Hua became even more nervous.

"Why would a Nascent Soul Beast appear here? According to my master, this place is desolate and rarely inhabited by demonic beasts." Master Hua was puzzled, but he still took out a treasure from his storage bag.

Lin Qing looked and saw two golden and silver brushes, which looked extraordinary.

At this moment, the Nascent Soul stage beast also noticed Lin Qing and Master Hua. It stopped from a distance, and after stopping, it looked at the two of them with some surprise.

This lizard was a mutated demonic beast, proficient in fire-type Divine Abilities, and its cultivation had reached the early stage of Nascent Soul. It had discovered this magma cave ten years ago and had been using it to cultivate its own fire-type Divine Abilities. Today, when it returned, it sensed the aura of human cultivators. Originally, it thought it was just low-level cultivators who had accidentally intruded, and it could easily deal with them. But it didn't expect to encounter two Nascent Soul cultivators whose cultivation was not weaker than its own.

This made him hesitate for a moment.

Meanwhile, the Nascent Soul demonic beast had already regained its consciousness and was almost indistinguishable from an ordinary human cultivator. Lin Qing wanted to deliberate and communicate, hoping to resolve the situation peacefully.

But the cultivator named Hua suddenly transmitted a message to him, saying, "Fellow Daoist Lin, the molten essence is actually on this demonic beast."

"What?" Lin Qing was surprised, and Hua added, "Before my master left, he gave me a treasure that can detect the trace of molten essence. The treasure suddenly reacted just now, indicating that the molten essence is on this demonic beast."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing looked at the demonic beast with a mix of joy and worry. He was glad that they had found the molten essence so quickly, but worried because they had come specifically for it. If it was on this demonic beast, it would be unlikely to resolve the situation peacefully.

After all, this demonic beast was entirely red and seemed to be proficient in fire techniques. The molten essence, being an extremely yang and hot substance, would probably greatly benefit it. It would be impossible to make it surrender.

Hua also realized this and stared at the lizard with an unfriendly expression. When they set out on this journey, he had promised to bring back the molten essence. If they returned empty-handed because of a Nascent Soul demonic beast, it would be a betrayal of his own promise.

Seeing the displeased expressions of Lin Qing and Hua, the lizard demonic beast suddenly extended its forked tongue with a "hiss," attempting to strike first.

At this moment, both Lin Qing and Hua, as well as the lizard, were wary of each other, so they were nearly a hundred zhang apart.

Unexpectedly, after the lizard's tongue extended, it moved at lightning speed and instantly arrived in front of Lin Qing.

Lin Qing was caught off guard, but he immediately released the crystal shield to defend himself. With his cultivation at the Nascent Soul stage, he was extremely quick in controlling the crystal shield, and it defended him like lightning.

"Boom!"

To the surprise of Lin Qing and Hua, the crystal shield didn't even withstand a single attack and was directly pierced by the lizard's tongue, leaving a hole.

Lin Qing was greatly shocked. Although the crystal shield wasn't particularly strong, it was still a decent defensive treasure. It seemed too fragile, or perhaps the lizard's tongue was too hard?

What Lin Qing didn't know was that the lizard's tongue didn't hit him. It only pierced through a shield. The lizard was disappointed. This attack was one of its Divine Abilities after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. Even a slightly harder treasure could be penetrated by it. Its power was astonishing, but it also had limitations. It could only be used once a day.

After the lizard launched the first attack, Lin Qing immediately summoned the Goodwater Pearl. In the blink of an eye, more than fifty water-based treasures of various sizes and shapes formed. Each of these water-based treasures had the power of a magic treasure strike.

This was also a significant improvement for Lin Qing after becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator. With his current spiritual power, it wasn't difficult to activate these treasures.

After the water-based treasures formed, Lin Qing waved his hand, and instantly, more than fifty water-based treasures flew forward like a torrent, each one crackling with lightning, presenting a stunning sight.

Upon seeing the multitude of water-based treasures coming towards him, the lizard immediately opened its mouth, and a surging flame spewed out. A flame wall measuring three zhang in height and one chi in width appeared in front of it.
