The entrance, which was supposed to close after two hours, disappeared after being swallowed up once, causing some people who came to check it out to miss their chance.

Those people started swearing.

As a result, Hong'an City was once again subjected to verbal and written criticism.

However, Hong'an City did not tolerate these cultivators and the law enforcement team directly suppressed them.

These things made Lu Wu feel a little sad.

For a moment, I didn't know whether my luck was too good or too bad.

With some time to spare before setting up her stall, Lu Wu looked at the stone tablet beside her, thought for a moment, and then reached out to gently touch it.

She did not feel any danger from up there.

The moment they made contact, Lu Wu felt as if he were in a sea of ​​fire, and in that sea of ​​fire, he saw an ancient cave dwelling being burned by flames.

A voice appeared in her mind, asking her if she wanted to enter.

Lu Wu refused.

There didn't seem to be any monsters, but the flames gave Lu Wu a terrifying feeling.

We can't afford to mess with them.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Lu Wu fanned himself and exhaled heavily.

It's so hot.

I was sweating profusely after standing for only a short while.

Lu Wu endured the heat and took out the stall.

The process of making jelly is very simple, so Lu Wu is prepared to make it on the spot.

To help the jelly cool and solidify quickly, she embedded many ice-attribute spirit stones in her stall to lower the temperature.

Now that the spirit stone is activated, the cool air begins to cool down Lu Wu's rosy cheeks.

After enjoying herself for a while, Lu Wu began making her own jelly in this deserted place.

Boil the jelly in a pot, then place it in a mold and wait for it to solidify.

Some of the fruit was also cut up and chilled with spirit stones to ensure it wouldn't spoil.

After she finished all the procedures, she still hadn't seen anyone.

Lu Wu didn't dare to wander around, so she made herself a bowl of mango jelly to cool off while waiting.

The smooth, slippery jelly paired with sweet, soft mango, followed by a sip of milk, made Lu Wu exhale with delight.

I must say, eating a bowl of cold noodles on a hot day is incredibly refreshing.

A faint wisp of icy air circulated through my body, quickly dispelling the persistent heat that clung to me.

My skin feels slightly cool.

The refreshing and invigorating effects of this jelly include...cooling down.

Lu Wu had previously thought this effect was useless, but now she realized that it was a perfect match for this secret realm.

Even ice-attribute spirit stones aren't as effective as jelly.

Moreover, the effects are lasting.

Feeling the changes in her body, Lu Wu left the area covered by the spirit stones and found that the heat in the secret realm had no effect on her.

It took a full half hour for the cooling effect to begin to subside.

One bowl isn't enough, have another one.

Before anyone else arrived, Lu Wu fed herself first.

Rubbing his stomach, Lu Wu took out a stool and sat down by the stall, waiting for someone to come looking for him.

Qin Zhan would contact him every now and then, and it was easy to see his anxiety in his words. Lou Xiaotian was the same.

"I'm fine, I'm safe here."

As long as she doesn't enter the inheritance area within the stone tablet, there's no immediate danger.

What Lu Wu didn't know was that she was the only one safe and sound in the entire secret realm.

Once the others enter the secret realm, they will also have to endure the heat attacks from the natural environment within it.

Some people were prepared and managed to cope, but others rushed in impulsively and found that the temperature here was enough to kill them.

They couldn't find a shady spot to hide.

The entire secret realm, both above and below ground, inside and out, is filled with an environment of extremely high temperatures.

Under the scorching sun, many cultivators were panting and trying to cool themselves down, almost collapsing from the heat.

The physical conditions were so bad, and coupled with the dangers that could appear at any time in the secret realm, they found it very difficult to move around here.

Even those at the Nascent Soul stage wouldn't dare say they had it easy.

"Get out of here."

A snow-white longsword floated behind Qin Zhan. Qin Zhan roared and unleashed a sword strike, cleaving a demonic beast blocking his path in two.

After putting away the demon core from the monster, Qin Zhan didn't have time to search his surroundings. Looking at the distance between himself and Lu Wu, he felt a headache coming on.

He traveled at full speed and it would take him about another day to reach Lu Wu.

He dared not act recklessly in this secret realm.

Along the way, he encountered many places that made him feel threatened, and he avoided them by a great distance.

"Thank goodness you were here."

He touched his sword, feeling slightly relieved.

This sword, named Ruxue, is forged from natural ice and possesses its own chilling aura. After entering this secret realm, he released Ruxue to cool down.

Even so, his clothes were completely soaked.

"Boss Lu, you have to hang in there!"

One man and one sword continued forward.

Meanwhile, Lu Wu, who was being talked about, squatted in front of the stall, feeling utterly bored.

She's been setting up her stall for almost two hours and hasn't had a single customer yet—this is the first time she's ever had one since she started.

This mission is going to be tough.

"Why!"

Life is tough, Lu Wu sighed.

"Chirp chirp!"

A bird call rang out, and the next instant, Lu Wu felt a weight increase on the top of his head.

Something landed on her head.

Lu Wu was startled and quickly knocked the other party down. Before he could even touch it, the thing landed on the stall.

Upon seeing the visitors, Lu Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a small bird, about the size of a palm, with flame-colored feathers, delicate and petite.

Its two round, beady green eyes stared at Lu Wu, its head tilted slightly, and it made a shout as if it were conveying some message.

"Chirp chirp!"

The birdsong was clear and melodious, like silver bells, or like celestial music played on strings.

The adorable little guy dispelled the sorrow on Lu Wu's face.

"You mean you want to eat cold noodles?"

Several bowls of ready-made jelly were displayed on the stall. The little guy stood next to the milk and sour fruit jelly and touched the rim of the bowl with his beak.

Upon hearing Lu Wu's question, the little guy nodded and hopped around a few times in response.

“A bowl of cold noodles…” Lu Wu glanced at the system and said, “One mid-grade spirit stone.”

Um!

When Lu Wu first saw the price, he thought the system was trying to get him to find some fat sheep to fleece.

A bowl of cold noodles costs 100 low-grade spirit stones; this leap in prices made even the stall owner feel ashamed.

However, now that he is in the secret realm, Lu Wu has gained some insight.

The price of jelly is not expensive at all in this secret realm; it costs only one mid-grade spirit stone, considering its great benefits.

Do you know what a spirit stone is?

Lu Wu teased the little bird in front of her, not expecting it to actually pay. Just as she was about to push the jelly over, she saw the little guy glance at her, flap its wings, chirp a few times, and then fly away.

...

Don't go!

Lu Wu really wanted to shout at the top of her lungs.

It's so rare to find a little guy to keep me company here, but I managed to get him away because of me.

Lu Wu was disheartened.

After wiping his face, Lu Wu sat on a stool, propped his chin up, and stared blankly, contemplating life.

I don't know how much time passed, but my head was hit hard again.

"hiss!"

Something hit her on the head, and Lu Wu clutched her head in pain, her face contorted in agony.

He touched it and finally pulled a red stone out of the hair.
