Walking along this branch for about 3000 feet, it was much further than where the so called geocentric fire vein was. In fact, for Junior Leopard, the place was actually not the hub of this fire vein. It was only a spacious underground magma pool formed from a wide passageway.

It was actually a passageway that the underground magma would pass through. And its surrounding branches would lead to deeper places of the entire underground fire vein. Junior Leopard even inferred that each branch in the passageway could lead to the same earth vein evil qi. Only that those passageways were too narrow, so none of the explorers who could reach here wanted to go further to explore the branches.

There were also inevitable reasons why nobody would explore them. In the four smelting families, only a few people's cultivation could reach Level Seven. The Wu Family was an example: only Lyu Yiyue's cultivation was Level Seven. A person of this kind had almost practiced gang qi, and he usually didn't know any good Special Techniques. Hence, the person normally wouldn't care much about things like evil qi. Or it could be put that even if he was interested, it made no difference either. Because the underground fire vein here was evil qi of fire, even though it was an evil qi. In this world, Special Techniques and gang qi that really needed evil qi of fire to be cultivated were in fact very scarce.

For famous techniques that would require evil qi of fire while practising, there was only Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique possessed by the Wu Family and Distant Fire Mysterious Skill studied by the Sect of Flame.

When one's cultivation was over Level Seven, he wouldn't need the evil qi here. While the experts whose cultivation was under Level Seven they wouldn't have the ability to explore the branches here. Therefore, although earth vein evil qi existed in the underground fire vein, people who both had the ability and desire to explore here were few.

And Junior Leopard was one of the minorities. He was also the only person who could make full use of the evil qi here.

Junior Leopard continued to walk forward following the branch. He walked for about 3000 feet, and then reached a corner that led to a deeper place. He then went on slowly. Now, the surrounding fire toxin, which was also called evil qi of fire, was also getting thick. If it was in the past, Junior Leopard would no longer be able to endure it and would have had to exert his internal qi or fist intent to balance out the fire toxins of evil qi here, but things were different this time.

He had been to the underground fire vein a couple of times already, but it was different this time because he had another External Elixir.

Now he had two External Elixirs. One was the bone of Dragon Chimera attached to his ear, which practiced Green Jade Qian Yuan Skill he learned from Snake King. At present, its cultivation was Level Six. The other was the Fiery Eye he newly obtained, which was embedded between his eyebrows.

What was different from other people's External Elixirs was that both of his were practicing automatically. That meant even if Junior Leopard didn't practice them, they would practice day and night in the way he had previously set them up. It was exactly for this reason that his first External Elixir's cultivation could reach Level Six in such a short time.

And why could he do that? The major reason was still the Mysterious Fire in his Dantian that he inherited from Dragon Chimera.

While his first External Elixir was affected by the Mysterious Fire, his second External Elixir, the Fiery Eye, was originally practicing the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique. And within his body the Mysterious Fire in Dantian had already melted into his internal qi, so even if Junior Leopard didn't split the Mysterious Fire out of his Dantian, it had been connected to his internal qi.

It was beyond his expectations but was also within his expectations.

He had noticed this matter when he was practicing in his underground practice field home. In the meantime, it also occurred to him that Xu Yong once told him about the function of External Elixir, which was to store the excessive internal qi that the body couldn't. It was not used to practice another cultivation method like what Snake King did, as one had to start everything from scratch again.

Junior Leopard felt lucky that he had figured it out. He would regret so much if he didn't possess the Plug-in of the Mysterious Fire.

To start everything from scratch would not be that easy.

And now his second External Elixir, the Fiery Eye, was practicing the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique that his body was also practicing. The Fiery Eye could even practice nonstop for 24 hours a day. Only a few days had passed, and Junior Leopard had already felt the internal qi of Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique in his Fiery Eyes had improved dramatically. Compared to his own body's practicing speed, it was even ten times faster. And most important was that the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique in this External Elixir could merge with the internal qi in his body harmoniously. Or it could be said that it was born to be connected to his body. So his External Elixir's cultivation reached Level Nine equaled to his own body's Level Nine cultivation. Junior Leopard was thrilled by merely thinking of how fast his External Elixir could practice.
