More and more people are emerging from the cave, and most of them have gained something.
After they came out, these people headed straight for the outer edge of the secret realm, hoping to make some more money. So when the female cultivator Chen Banlian ran up to Lu Wu's stall and ordered a few more bowls of ice jelly, Lu Wu and Qin Zhan both looked at each other.
"You seem..." Qin Zhan wanted to say something, but he saw Chen Banlian's inscrutable expression.
After taking a closer look, I said nothing more.
He had long ago noticed that Chen Banlian was tainted with the aura of death, something that people nearing the end of their lives often experience.
Upon emerging from the cave, the vitality emanating from the other person caught his attention.
Needless to say, the other party had a miraculous encounter.
With so many people around, Qin Zhan had no need to uncover Chen Banlian's secret.
After giving Qin Zhan a grateful look, Chen Banlian thought for a moment and then took out all the spirit stones she had on her.
A total of twenty-three mid-grade spirit stones.
"These will all be used to buy ice jelly."
With a desperate, all-or-nothing courage, Chen Banlian wanted to seize this opportunity with all her might.
If she loses the bet, she will have a very difficult time for a while.
Are there any preference requirements regarding taste?
Lu Wu put away the spirit stones and asked.
"No, just a little bit of everything is fine."
She wasn't sure what White Bone Senior liked, so it was safer to spread her affections evenly.
"Okay, then wait for me for a moment."
There wasn't much ice jelly left, so Lu Wu needed to make it again.
She threw the glass fire into the stove; the almost transparent flame with a hint of gold looked very sacred.
But not everyone is as knowledgeable as Qin Zhan.
The temperature of the Glazed Flame was not high. Chen Banlian was only surprised by how beautiful the flame was before she looked away.
She stood to the side watching Lu Wu's actions.
Some unknown powders, when boiled with water and then cooled, are made into transparent ice jelly.
The ice jelly in the container was smooth and translucent. Lu Wu cut it open with a knife, and it looked very relaxing.
Tiny jelly balls are placed in a transparent bowl, topped with various fruits, and then milk, coconut milk, and brown sugar syrup are added.
The seemingly simple ice jelly made Chen Banlian swallowed hard as she observed it.
She had tasted it, so she knew what the ice jelly tasted like.
She thought she would remember that sweetness for the rest of her life.
"It's done, check it."
Lu Wu served the ice jelly that the other party had requested.
The various colors of ice jelly resemble exquisite works of art, too beautiful to be disturbed.
Chen Banlian suppressed her urge to keep a few bowls, put them all into her storage bag, and walked towards the stone tablet.
Some cultivators remained, hoping to find a way to sneak in again.
After trying, all attempts ended in disappointment.
Therefore, when these people saw Chen Banlian's actions, some of them showed mocking expressions.
But the next second, they were all proven wrong.
Chen Banlian successfully re-entered the cave. Some people, not believing in the supernatural, followed behind Chen Banlian to try, but the stone tablet remained unmoved.
"How could this young woman get in?"
Some people refused to admit defeat and even tried to destroy the stone tablet.
Before the cultivator could even make a move, Huo Huo, who was perched on Lu Wu's shoulder, spewed a mouthful of flames at him.
The blazing flames set people ablaze.
The intense heat emanating from the golden-red flames caused those around to quickly leave, leaving only the wicked cultivator wailing in the flames.
Fortunately, Huo Huo only warned the other party and did not intend to kill him.
Seeing that the person was on the verge of death, Huo Huo opened its mouth and sucked the flames back in.
"Chirp!"
Birds dislike bad people, so they burn them with fire.
Huo Huo has been in this secret realm since birth. She has no memories of her past, but she feels very close to this stone tablet.
I always felt that I should protect this stone tablet.
The bird's strength is truly remarkable.
The cultivator, who had barely escaped with his life, looked at Huo Huo with eyes full of terror.
After taking the medicine to heal his injuries, he hurriedly left.
However, this time, Chen Banlian was not kept inside for long before being sent out.
Suddenly being stared at by so many people, Chen Banlian looked away timidly, her hands gripping her sleeves a little tightly.
She straightened her back and walked to Lu Wu's side.
"Mr. Lu, thank you."
Senior White Bone really liked ice jelly. After she gave all the ice jelly to him, he tossed her a storage bag.
There are many spirit stones and some treasures inside.
Although they weren't rare treasures, these things were within Chen Banlian's means to possess.
A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.
These things are just right.
All of this is thanks to Boss Lu's ice jelly.
If it weren't for these ice jelly desserts, the senior wouldn't have treated her differently.
"This is your own destiny, no need to thank me."
Lu Wu avoided the other party's thanks and said with a smile.
Chen Banlian, who kept this kindness in her heart, bought a few more servings of ice jelly and then took her leave.
She noticed some malicious gazes fixed on her, and knowing that staying here might cause trouble for Boss Lu.
But now, she has the confidence to face these crises.
She will become stronger.
As she watched the other person leave, Lu Wu noticed out of the corner of her eye that some people had followed them.
The resolute look on Chen Banlian's face as she left told Lu Wu that she had a solution.
As the people inside the stone tablet were gradually sent out, the number of cultivators remaining in the same spot dwindled.
Except for Chen Banlian, no one else was able to enter a second time.
Staying here is just a waste of time.
After everyone left, only Qin Zhan and Lou Xiaotian remained to keep Lu Wu company.
I glanced at the time; it was time to pack up and leave.
Now that she no longer needed to guard the stall and all the bodyguards had arrived, Lu Wu wanted to explore the secret realm.
The two strongly supported her idea.
The landscape of the Fiery Secret Realm is quite unique, with towering mountains and undulating waves.
The plants that can survive in the secret realm are all heat-resistant, so they are not very beautiful in appearance.
Because she had to set up a stall the next day, Lu Wu didn't plan to go too far.
"Chirp chirp!"
Humans follow the birds.
Upon discovering that humans were searching for treasure, Huo Huo volunteered to lead the way.
Although she didn't have anything good left, she knew that many of her neighbors did.
Those neighbors must really like her visiting, because every time I go there, they always greet me with a smile.
"Huo Huo, where are we going?"
Lou Xiaotian wiped his sweat and asked.
He still had some ice jelly in his hand, but the outside temperature was still within his tolerance range, so he was a little reluctant to eat it.
Qin Zhan was well-prepared. In front of Lou Xiaotian, he walked along, scooping up some ice jelly and slowly savoring it.
I must say, it really cools you down.
On the other hand, Lu Wu hadn't eaten ice jelly for quite some time because she had discovered that since obtaining the Glazed Fire, the high temperature of the secret realm had no effect on her.
The aloof Huo Huo ignored Lou Xiaotian's question.
However, they are currently climbing the mountain.
The mountains are covered with strangely shaped rocks, and large and small reddish-brown stones are scattered all over the mountains.
The rugged terrain creates a unique spectacle, and the steep slopes make it a bit strenuous to climb up.
