Cultivation: I have an omnipotent land

Chapter 12 Planting Spirit Fire

Horned wood beads!

Xiao Ming took out a bright green spirit pearl. As he poured his magic power into it, vines sprouted from the ground and tightly bound the Fire Sun Bird's claws, pulling it downwards with force.

The situation is very favorable right now; it seems that this monstrous bird will be subdued.

However, everyone underestimated this peak third-tier demonic beast. With a sharp screech, the flames on the Fire Sun Bird suddenly surged, and its size seemed to double.

It was utterly enraged.

With a flap of its wide wings, terrifying high temperatures spread outwards along with a scorching wind, instantly evaporating the cloud of highly toxic mist.

Wei Niang and Shi Hu could only hold their magical artifacts in front of them, and the fire-avoiding talismans on their bodies burned rapidly, making it difficult for the two to get close.

Even the winged centipede that Elder Mo raised dared not approach at this moment. After all, although they were both third-tier demonic beasts, there was still a difference in their strength, and the Fire Sun Bird's attributes were also very effective against it.

Under the terrifyingly high temperature, the tree roots and vines that entangled it instantly turned to ashes.

"Xiao Ming, use these seeds." Old Mo took out several black seeds from his storage bag and threw them on the ground.

Xiao Ming immediately activated the Horned Wood Beads again. As soon as the black seeds landed, they sprouted and grew rapidly at a visible speed, transforming into black vines covered in blood thorns that once again entangled the Fire Sun Bird's claws.

These strange vines, which were not exactly plants, managed to withstand the intense heat of the Fire Sun Bird for a short period of time, but that alone was not enough.

"I'll help you!"

Old Mo placed a hand on Xiao Ming's shoulder, transmitting a powerful wood-attribute spiritual energy.

The horned wood bead, receiving the magical power, trembled slightly, and its light instantly more than doubled.

Affected by this, the black vines grew at an accelerated rate, with more vines sprouting and transforming into a large black thorny hand that grabbed the Fire Sun Bird's body.

Seeing that the demonic bird was still struggling, a long black whip appeared in Old Mo's hand.

As spiritual energy was injected into it, the black whip began to dance, seemingly transforming into a black venomous snake that quickly coiled around the Fire Sun Bird's neck.

Old Mo gripped the Black Blood Whip tightly with both hands, trying to suppress his opponent.

"Now." A stack of water arrow talismans appeared in Xiao Ming's hand.

As spiritual energy was injected, all the water arrow talismans were activated instantly. Each talisman could unleash three water arrows, and dozens of water arrows shot out at once.

The Firebird cried out in agony, finally unable to hold on any longer, and with Mo Lao's renewed exertion, it plummeted heavily from the sky.

"What are you all standing there for? If you don't take action now to get rid of this beast, do you want to live in constant fear of being eaten?" Xiao Ming turned around and shouted at the mining cultivators who were watching from a distance.

Upon hearing this, someone finally realized what was happening.

They dared not get too close, but each began to cast spells.

Water Ball, Water Arrow, and even the Little Cloud Rain spell that the Spirit Plant Master used for planting were all thrown at him at once.

Water and fire are incompatible. Even the most basic water-based spells, when used in large quantities, can cause the Fire Sun Bird immense suffering.

The flames covering its entire body were gradually extinguished, revealing its fiery red feathers.

Without the protection of the flames, Elder Mo immediately controlled the winged centipede to fly over and forcefully press down on the Fire Sun Bird's neck.

The venomous fangs pierced the skin, injecting the poison into the Fire Sun Bird's body, and the beast's vitality immediately weakened.

Although it was still struggling, it already had the air of a dying struggle.

Wei Niang, wielding a long spear, plummeted from the sky, piercing the Fire Sun Bird's back and striking its heart.

Shi Hu followed closely behind, roared, gripped his greatsword tightly with both hands, and leaped up to sever the Fire Sun Bird's head.

With the combined efforts of everyone, the peak third-tier monster was successfully killed.

"Dead, that beast is finally dead."

The people at the mine cheered when they saw this.

"We won." Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well done." Old Mo smiled and patted Xiao Ming on the shoulder.

Without Xiao Ming, killing this monster would not have been so easy.

He walked up to the corpse of the Fire Sun Bird and began to dissect it himself. It was a peak third-tier demon beast, and almost every part of it was valuable, so he couldn't let it go to waste.

Xiao Ming walked up to the head of the Fire Sun Bird, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

Logically speaking, this demonic bird should be dead, and all the flames on its body should have been extinguished, but the tuft of feathers on its head is still burning.

"The Fire Sun Bird's innate beast fire is attached to this tuft of feathers, which is why it can still burn for a day or two," Tiger explained from the side.

"But it's not very useful. It can't be preserved by conventional methods and will eventually burn out. In the end, this tuft of feathers will just be ordinary feathers."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming had an idea.

He had already witnessed the beast fire of a peak third-tier demonic beast; if it weren't for the protection of this flame, the Fire Sun Bird would have been killed long ago.

"If this versatile land can grow anything, then can it grow fire?"

Xiao Ming couldn't think of any use for the flames for the time being, but he felt that they would be useful in the future.

"In that case, may I take this feather?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Whatever you want." Old Mo glanced back and then lost interest.

Xiao Ming patted his storage bag, and a beam of green light flew out, transforming into a flying sword that severed the feather.

Then Xiao Ming took out a jade box, carefully put the feather inside, and pasted a few fire-avoiding talismans on the surface of the jade box before he was completely at ease.

Before becoming a mine manager, Old Mo was also a demon hunter, and he was quite skilled at dissecting the corpses of demonic beasts.

During this process, the extra blood from the demonic beasts was all collected by Elder Mo and then handed over to Xiao Ming.

"The demon blood of this Fire Sun Bird is a material for making high-quality fire-attribute talisman ink, which you will need in the future," Elder Mo instructed.

"Thank you, Elder Mo." Xiao Ming accepted the demon blood.

After killing the demonic bird, Xiao Ming naturally wouldn't linger at the mine.

As soon as he got home, he immediately entered the omnipotent space.

The jade box containing the Fire Sun Bird's primordial beast fire was naturally brought in by Xiao Ming as well.

Shi Hu had said that the primordial beast fire would go out in two days, and if he didn't plant it quickly, he would only be able to harvest bird feathers.

Although several fire-avoidance talismans were affixed to the surface of the jade box, it was still slightly hot to the touch.

As he opened the jade box, the suppressed primordial beast fire immediately burst into flames again.

"It really is a good fire." Xiao Ming laughed heartily.

He dug a pit in the ground, put the primordial beast fire in it, and then covered the surface with a layer of mineral spirit sand.

Although he was buried, Xiao Ming could still feel the temperature emanating from the soil.

"Next, it's time to water them."

However, when Xiao Ming picked up the kettle, he was stunned.

Wait, can this thing really be used to water plants?

Xiao Ming was worried that if he poured the water on the flames, he would be grateful if it didn't even extinguish them, let alone sprout.

"It should be able to sprout even without watering," Xiao Ming said thoughtfully.

If it were an ordinary spiritual plant, he would observe it for a day before making a decision, but this beast fire might go out if he waited another day.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.

"If you can't water it with regular water, could you try this?"

Xiao Ming took out a bottle of the Fire Sun Bird's demon blood. The two things originated from the same source, so they shouldn't conflict with each other, right?

Xiao Ming poured out the bottle of demon blood.

The small mound where the seeds were buried immediately emitted a faint light, and the next moment a small flame suddenly shot out.

Immediately afterwards, a delicate and translucent seedling, like a piece of fire jade, sprouted from the soil.

[Name]: Fire Yang Demon Flame

[Growth Status]: Budding stage (1%)

Current Status: Good

Under Xiao Ming's watchful eye, the seedling's growth rate increased at a visible speed.

1%·····2%·····4%

The growth value kept rising until it reached 5%, and then it stopped.

Watered with the blood fire of the Fire Sun Bird, the growth rate of this beast fire spirit plant was completely beyond Xiao Ming's expectations.
