Luo Yan and Shi Liuli had not shown up yet, which made the three dragons a little anxious.

"Forget it." Lao Long suddenly said, "I guess they have figured it out."

He suddenly stretched out a finger, freezing the fire crocodile, then spat out a dragon ball from his mouth and smashed it directly onto the fire crocodile's back.

The fire crocodile's body was covered with hard scales that were invulnerable to swords and spears, but when it was hit by the dragon ball, it immediately collapsed. The pain made the fire crocodile turn around suddenly, flicked its tail to force the old dragon back, and then fled directly into the depths of the lava.

Lao Long did not pursue them, but just said to Shi Yao and Long Xiaoqi:

"To enter the last cave, there is only one weak spot in the space."

"Just stay here, they won't be able to follow us."

As he spoke, the old dragon spat out the dragon ball again, smashed through the space barrier, and then stepped in.

From a distance, Luo Yan looked at Shi Yao and the others who stayed where they were, and suddenly he felt a headache.

This strategy of dividing the troops was not brilliant, but it happened to hit the weak spot of Luo Yan and his men - even if only Shi Yao was brought out, Luo Yan and his wife would not be able to defeat her!

Shi Liuli also reached this point in his divination, and sighed helplessly and said:

"Husband, it seems that we can't go any further on this journey. Why don't we go back?"

"I've finally come this far, and I'm unwilling to give up now!" Luo Yan said with difficulty, gritting his teeth.

"Husband." Shi Liuli had to persuade him politely, "Don't forget that we couldn't take away the treasures and strange beasts we encountered along the way, right? It shows that the difficulty of this secret realm is far beyond our strength."

"Rather than continuing to take risks and gain nothing, it is better to keep this useful body and return to Yuqing Temple to report to the headmaster, and then make plans."

Seeing that Luo Yan was still unmoved, Shi Liuli could only act coquettishly and said:

"Okay, husband, I'll make you something delicious when we get back."

"Well, this is the only way." Luo Yan finally gave in and nodded in agreement.

The two turned around and flew back.

After leaving the Fire Cave Heaven and returning to the Wood Cave Heaven, Shi Liuli suddenly reacted.

Wait, didn’t my husband already make up his mind to use the Red Dust Hundred Worlds Map to steal all the treasures obtained by the demon dragon?

In this case, what difference does it make whether you continue to track in depth or turn around and leave?

Why should I coax him?

She was so depressed that she couldn't help but ask:

"My husband, aren't you planning to use the Red Dust Hundred Worlds Map to take away the old dragon's treasure?"

"Oh!" Luo Yan seemed to have just realized it and nodded, "Wait a little longer, let's talk about it after we get out of this secret realm."

Seeing that his expression did not seem fake, Shi Liuli suddenly became shaken again, wondering if she had misunderstood him.

Just now, he forgot the existence of the Red Dust Hundred Worlds Chart, so he was unwilling to give up, instead of deliberately going against me and asking me to coax him?

Thinking of this, Shi Liuli breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, as long as they don't treat me like a fool, it's fine.

The two of them left this secret place, returned to the Shennongjia Mountains, and then flew towards the East China Sea.

Shi Liuli took out the Red Dust Hundred Worlds Map and asked:

"What is there near Yangjuan at the moment?"

"A small bottle, a scripture, a Taoist robe, pearls, and a piece of wood." Hongchen Baishitu counted them all and said, "Oh, and a small plate was stuffed in as well."

"Small plate?" Luo Yan asked.

"A small yellow plate with a lot of lines drawn on it." described by Hongchen Baishitu.

"It's probably gossip." Shi Liuli reminded.

"What gossip?" asked Hongchen Baishitu.

"Don't worry about it, just tell me what else you have." Luo Yan interrupted him quickly.

Gossip is something that cannot be explained in a few words, so it is better to get down to business.

"It should be gone..." Hongchen Baishitu continued to confirm, and suddenly hummed, "Hmm? Eh? Ah?"

"What happened?" Luo Yan asked hurriedly.

"The big cauldron you mentioned earlier has come in." Hongchen Baishitu replied, "It's just that it's become very broken. It's completely different from what I saw before."

"Is the Shennong Ding damaged?" Luo Yan and Shi Liuli were both shocked.

"Yeah." Hongchen Baishitu nodded and said, "There are a lot more green things."

Oh, it's rusty. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Magical weapons should not rust naturally. The only explanation is that the origin of the magic weapon has been damaged, and it is unable to resist the erosion of the external environment. However, as long as it is replenished with true energy in time, it can eventually recover.

What we are afraid of is irreversible damage. For example, if half of a flying sword is destroyed, it would be a pipe dream to say that it can still be used as a flying sword.

According to Hongchen Baishitu, at least the Shennong Ding does not have serious problems such as missing ears or feet, so it can still be repaired.

"Husband, let's do it." Shi Liuli said in a deep voice.

"Wait a little longer." Luo Yan waved his hand. "What if there are other treasures? If we take the Shennong Ding, the old dragon will definitely find something wrong the next time he puts treasures in, and we won't be able to get the treasures after that."

"But you also have to consider what to do if the old dragon likes the Shennong Ding so much that he can't let it go and refuses to put it back into the storage bag." Shi Liuli insisted, "While the Shennong Ding is still in the storage bag, take it out quickly to prevent any accidents."

Luo Yan thought for a moment and thought that this was indeed the truth.

For example, most of the monks in Penglai Yuqing Temple like to put their flying swords in sword bags and use them when needed, but Luo Yan carries the Huangting Kunwu sword on his back. There is no other reason, he just thinks the sword looks very powerful and wants his fellow monks to take a closer look.

What if the old dragon is also a cocky and show-off character, and takes out the Shennong Ding to play with it? Even if he doesn't play with it, he still has to study it, right?

Thinking of this, Luo Yan hardened his heart and said:

"Get started!"

After receiving the order, Hongchen Baishitu sent the things over.

The first one is a pill bottle, which is made of neither gold nor jade. It is gray and looks like ceramic.

Luo Yan was very cautious and did not open the cork of the bottle. He just put it into a separate storage bag. After the lesson learned from this incident, he did not dare to put everything into the Tiangong Treasure Bag.

My Tiangong treasure bag has much more things in it than that old dragon!

If anything goes wrong, I’m afraid I’ll cry to death in front of my master’s tablet.

Then there was a Buddhist scripture. Luo Yan glanced at the title of the book and saw that it was some kind of mental method to calm the mind and suppress the tendency to go astray.

This thing could be collected by the immortal-level dragon clan, so it must be extraordinary. However, Luo Yan has A Jing's help, so it is impossible for him to go astray, so he just put it away quietly.

The next thing was a Taoist robe. It didn’t look like anything special. I put it away and would have it appraised after returning to Yuqing Temple.

Then, there were the thousand-year-old giant clam beads, the jade tree heartwood, the Bagua plate, the Shennong tripod, and the Yang scroll of the Red Dust World Map.

Although they had heard Lao Long's explanation and knew that these were priceless treasures, Luo Yan and Shi Liuli's eyes were still firmly drawn to the Shennong Ding.
