The next morning Jayde woke up bright and early, after her morning ablutions, she ate her breakfast, then after packing and cleaning up her small camp, she set off again to find the treasure the old man had written about.
After exiting the small room, Jayde entered another passageway, the passageway was narrower than the previous one, the ceiling was lower just a couple inches above Jayde's head, if she had been any taller she would have had to crawl her way through.
Thankfully Jayde wasn't claustrophobic, or else she would have been in a real dilemma now. The passage started to descend, it pathway winding like a snake, cutting deep into the earth.
The passageway went on for miles, and the deeper Jayde descended the more the heat around her rose. The heat was unbearable, Jayde's skin was flushed, and her mouth was dry, she had already finished off four of the lily pods, having to replenish her energy and alleviate her thirst.
Finally, Jayde could faintly make out a reddish glow in front of her, feeling more motivated now that she could see an end to the dark tunnel that she had been walking in for the past five or six hours, Jayde's sped up, eager to get out on this dark, narrow tunnel.
In a short time, Jayde came to a small doorway, pausing to take out her sword, she entered a huge cavern, as Jayde entered the cavern she was blasted by intense heat. The heat was so intense that Jayde had to activate her fire shield to protect herself.
Lucky for Jayde she was a fire mage, so she had a natural immunity to heat, and she had modified her skin, which had prevented her from receiving third-degree burns when she entered the cavern, but due to the horrific heat, she still suffered some slight burns.
Inside the cavern, there was a large lava lake, the bubbling lava lit up the cavern giving the whole area a bright red glow. Upon seeing the lava lake Jayde thought to herself " well that explains the awful heat"
With her sword in one hand, Jayde carefully explored the whole cavern, but to her disappointment, she found no sign of any treasure, nor any spirit guardian beast. The only entrance into the cavern was the one she had used to enter.
The only thing of value was some fire stones embedded into the wall, which a fire mage could use to enhance their fire abilities, but they were so deeply entrenched, that it would take a lot of time for Jayde to dig out, and she was burning through her qi at an alarming rate due to having her keep up her fire shield.
After putting away her sword, she looked at the fire stones embedded in the cavern walls and was busy calculating whether it was worth using her remaining lily pods to replenish her qi to dig out the fire stones when Isha interrupted her mental calculations.
"Jayde" he yelled out excitedly "I am sensing a fire spirit near you, it is still very young, only five or six thousand years old"
"..."
"Five or six thousand years old is young? Then what does that make her?" Jayde pondered in amazement.
"er...umm okay" Jayde replied, confused why Isha was so excited.
Hearing Jayde unenthusiastic reply, Isha realized that Jayde didn't understand the ramifications of her lucky discovery.
"Jayde with the fire spirit being so young, it means that you can absorb it, once you integrate it into yourself, not only will your fire magic increase exponentially, but you fire will be much purer than normal, giving you a major advantage over other fire mages, in essence, you will be able to battle against stronger opponent, you have no idea just how lucky you, have you any idea just how many fire mages would kill for such a find" he explained to her, his mental voice trembling with excitement.
"Newly formed fire spirits may only occur once every hundred thousand years after a fire spirit reaches maturity they are impossible to absorb, even getting near one could cost an emperor ranked mage their life" he explained further.
Finally understanding why Isha was so excited, Jayde quickly asked how to go about absorbing this fire spirit.
Having running across such an incredible lucky win-fall, Jayde was excited to get started. Thanking the old man in her heart, he really was her lucky star she mused to herself.
