Chapter 169 Fire-Repelling Thong
"Sect Leader Wan, why did you spare that barbarian just now?"
Tianwuzi transmitted his question telepathically, his tone full of confusion.
"Qingyi just told me that the old bastard Jiyin has taken on a disciple, and that disciple possesses the Blood Jade Spider."
They were deliberately causing trouble just now, it was all for show. Their real intention was to form an alliance with us, so we could deal with Ji Yin and his group together once we entered the inner palace.
Wan Tianming said.
"What?! Blood Jade Spiders? Weren't they supposed to have disappeared from the Chaotic Star Sea?"
Tian Wuzi was startled.
"Legend has it that using the Blood Jade Spider to retrieve the cauldron has an 80% success rate. So what do we do? Should we really join forces with Barbarian Beard and his group?"
After a change in expression, Mutengzi asked.
"I plan to agree to their alliance first, and then we'll see how things go once we enter the inner palace."
Wan Tianming said.
"Sect Leader Wan is wise; we both agree."
Tianwuzi and Mutengzi exchanged a glance and agreed with Wan Tianming's plan.
"The Void Heaven Cauldron must not fall into the hands of the demonic path."
Wan Tianming looked towards the entrance of the canyon and said solemnly.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the platform.
Seeing that Wan Tianming was no longer confronting the barbarian, Old Demon Lan withdrew his gaze and continued to discuss the matter of retrieving the cauldron with Ji Yin.
"Ji Yin, you must keep a close eye on your disciple. If he dares to play any tricks once he enters the inner palace..."
A cold glint flashed in Old Demon Blue's eyes.
"Brother Lan, rest assured, my disciple is the most obedient. When it comes time to retrieve the cauldron, I will make him cooperate fully."
Ji Yin smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Han Li stood to the side, his arm entangled by the female demon Lan Lian'er.
"Little guy, when are you going to take that Blood Jade Spider out and let me see it?"
Lan Lian'er teased him by pinching Han Li's hip.
"There are too many people here, senior!"
Han Li's body stiffened, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"Hehe, are you going to take the Mystic Crystal Path or the Lava Path later?"
Lan Lian'er pointed to the two narrow passages at the entrance of the canyon and asked.
At the entrances to those two passages, there is a stone tablet about three or four feet high.
One of them reads "Mystic Crystal Path," and the other reads "Lava Path"—these are some ancient characters.
"Well……"
Han Li hesitated.
"Disciple, which passage do you want to take? Both of these passages will randomly teleport you to a different location."
While I can't personally guide you through the challenge, I can certainly provide you with one or two warm items.
After discussing the matter of retrieving the cauldron with Old Demon Lan, Ji Yin turned to Han Li and spoke with concern.
Keeping warm? So, the extreme Yin must follow the Mystic Crystal Path!
"Master, I just obtained a fire-repelling robe in the Spirit Abyss Land, and I plan to take the Lava Path."
Han Li's eyes flickered, then he cupped his hands and said.
"Hehe, alright, then you can take the lava path. You can keep this magic item."
As Ji Yin spoke, he handed Han Li a white jade token.
"Oh, isn't this Bai Xipei? Fellow Daoist Wu really dotes on his disciple."
Lan Lian'er teased.
"Hehe, I've always been like this. We on Jiyin Island cherish our disciples very much."
He smiled in a very sinister way.
"This kid will be useful later, let's make sure he gets through this first. Sister, give him your magic weapon."
"Old Demon Blue said."
"Alright. Little one, you can borrow this magic weapon of mine for now."
Lan Lian'er took out a pink silk garment resembling a woman's thong and placed it in Han Li's hand.
"Senior... that's not necessary..."
Han Li wanted to refuse, but seeing the change in Lan Lian'er's eyes, he swallowed his words.
At this moment, the time for the Ice and Fire Path to open arrived, and Elder Jia of the Star Palace reappeared.
This is your treasure trove for discovering the best Xianxia (fantasy/martial arts) novels.
After explaining the situation of the two passages, the gate was opened, indicating that those who still wanted to try the challenge could choose freely.
"Kim Kyu didn't come..."
Qingfeng looked away.
To obtain the Void Heaven Cauldron, he needed to stir up trouble and get these Nascent Soul stage monsters moving.
Now, let the Barbarian Beard join forces with the Righteous Path to deal with the Extreme Yin, and then unite with the Star Palace to deal with the Righteous Path. Only in this way can he take advantage of the chaos to seize the cauldron.
"Young Master, Brother Man and I will take the Mystic Crystal Path. You will take the Lava Path, so please be extra careful."
Qingyi knew Qingfeng's strength, but still offered a concerned reminder.
Over the years, through his interactions with Qingfeng, he has come to regard Qingfeng as a true disciple.
Qingfeng possessed exceptional talent, and his comprehension even astonished both himself and Manhuzi.
It's safe to say that advancing to the Nascent Soul stage is a certainty, and given time, he might even reach the late Nascent Soul stage like Qing Sanyang.
Qingyi felt that he had not lived in vain to be able to take such a talented person as his disciple.
"Yes, you two can rest assured, the Lava Path poses no threat to me whatsoever."
Qingfeng said confidently.
At this moment, the gates of both passageways opened.
The Xuanjing Path was filled with a white, icy aura that constantly emanated from it, sending chills down one's spine upon seeing it.
Before even entering the lava tunnel, a scorching wind blew in, making one feel hot and restless.
The cultivators gathered at the entrance hesitated for a moment before choosing their respective paths and entering.
Qingfeng followed the other cultivators into the lava path.
After a brief moment of weightlessness during the teleportation, he arrived inside the lava tunnel.
"call--"
The scorching heat, the crimson rocks, and the yellowish-red earth.
The grass and trees glowed red, the sky was deep red and blurry, everything was the color of fire.
"The fire elemental energy here is so dense, it's awesome!"
Qingfeng took off his clothes and put them away, then stood shirtless, feeling the intense heat of the lava tunnel.
He had tempered his body amidst thunder and fire.
Now, inside the lava tunnel, he felt the long-lost pain of being in a sauna. .
"First, hunt down some Crimson Fire Spirits to obtain some Fire Pearls. Then, subdue that Fire Dragon Spirit, and finally, have the Gold-Slaying Insects eat the Iron Fire Ants."
Qingfeng stretched his body and then spread his divine sense to explore his surroundings.
He quickly found the area where the Crimson Fire Demon Spirits were gathered.
"This temperature is just right, let's warm up first."
He used the "Luoyan Step," a martial art for ordinary people, and with the support of his powerful body, he ran at a speed that was like flying close to the ground.
While Qingfeng began warming up, the other cultivators who entered the Lava Path all had solemn expressions.
Wearing a fire-repelling robe, Han Li erected a spiritual energy shield and slowly moved forward on the scorching earth.
He took a deep breath and looked at the sky, which seemed to be on fire.
The second level, the Ice and Fire Path, prevents all cultivators from flying; they can only advance step by step.
If they try to escape, they will be directly killed by the restrictions here.
"Phew, thankfully the teleportation location wasn't too bad."
If the journey were to take a longer distance, it would likely take several days to reach the end.
Han Li wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He had only walked a short distance, but he was already sweating profusely.
"It seems we still need to use this magic weapon against the scorching heat."
Even with a fire-repelling robe, Han Li still found it a bit too heavy, so he took out the white rhinoceros pendant given to him by Ji Yin, and the silk thong given to him by Lan Lian'er.
Although it was embarrassing to hold it in his hand, the cool sensation still made him feel relieved.
"I wonder where Brother Qing has gone."
Han Li opened his eyes and used his divine sense to survey his surroundings before heading towards the end of the lava path.
