This time, Xue Huan brought Wu Qi along. Since she had already seen through her identity and even got a glimpse of her background, there was no need for her to hide anything from her.
As a spirit ape, Wu Qi felt completely at home in the forest and might even be able to be of some help to her.
The two of them traveled light into the mountains.
As soon as he entered, Wuqi jumped up and down like a wild monkey, climbing to the treetops to pick fruits, and then wandering among the trees with the help of vines, shouting happily, he was so happy.
Xue Huan didn't care about her and let her go.
She was holding a topographic map drawn by the Pawnshop. Because the map was rather abstract, it was not until she arrived near her destination that she realized that she had been to this place before!
Isn’t the destination shown on the map the cave that He Shen accidentally fell into when he was picking herbs before!
The last time she came, the cave was freezing cold, but this time it was as hot as a volcano. Before she even got down, she could feel a wave of heat coming towards her.
This place really meets her requirements.
Xue Huan called Wu Qi down, put a thermostat on her, and put one on herself, and then the two of them went down the cave.
She had made a lot of preparations for this trip, including a large collection of various talismans and medicinal pills. Considering the extreme cold and heat of the terrain, constant-temperature talismans were essential. There were also cold-avoiding talismans and cooling talismans specifically designed to protect against certain extreme climates.
The constant temperature talisman can be used in any climate. After sticking it on, it is equivalent to installing an air conditioner on your body. No matter how strange the outside temperature is, the temperature of the human body is constant, neither cold nor hot.
Of course, this kind of talisman is consumed quickly, and a high-quality one can only last for one hour.
Only a rich man like Xue Huan could be so wasteful.
Even Wuqi, the spiritual beast from the other world, was frightened.
Of course, she enjoyed it too.
A top-grade talisman, something she couldn't even touch before.
The cave was not very big and there was no obstruction, so it was visible at a glance. Xue Huan had seen it the last time she came down, but this time she still carefully explored it again with her spiritual sense, not missing any corners.
Wu Qi was much simpler and more direct. She simply opened her "Heavenly Eye" and took a quick glance. The entire cave had no secrets in her sight.
"There!" Wu Qi pointed to a place.
Xue Huan looked over, but she couldn't see anything wrong either with her eyes or her spiritual sense.
Wu Qi walked straight over and entered the "stone wall" under her gaze. Xue Huan couldn't help but think of the tree where San Baqian lived in the Soul Realm. He also walked into the tree in front of her at that time.
Xue Huan walked over and touched it. The stone wall was real, but when she tried to walk towards it, she could indeed pass through it.
This illusion is truly magical.
This is much more advanced than the illusions she usually performs that can only deceive the eyes.
This can not only deceive the eyes, but also deceive the mind and perception!
But since there is an illusion here, does that mean that someone has discovered this place long before her?
The cave was very narrow at first, only enough for one person to pass through, and that required slender women like her and Wu Qi. If it were a little wider, it would be impossible to pass through.
The passage became wider and wider towards the back, and finally turned into a spacious cave.
A pool of water is located in the center of the cave. The water is very strange. It is divided into two distinct halves like Tai Chi. One half is bright red magma with bubbles bubbling on it, while the other half is blue. The deeper it goes, the darker the color becomes, and it has become an abysmal dark blue.
Unlike the "lively" atmosphere of the other half, this side is eerily quiet, as if frozen in time.
And on the dividing line between the two halves of the pool, there actually stands a plant that looks like a lotus, also half red and half blue. The petals have a crystal glass texture, and the veins on them are clearly visible. It is beautiful like a handicraft.
In the center of the petals is a tender purple lotus pod with three lotus seeds embedded inside, which appear to be not fully ripe yet.
Wu Qi looked at the flower with a misty look in his eyes, and walked towards the pool of water as if he was bewitched.
Although Xue Huan was bewitched for a moment, she regained consciousness in time. Seeing that Wu Qi was almost at the edge of the pool, she quickly reached out to pull her back and stuffed a spirit-clearing pill into her mouth.
Wu Qi came to his senses and remembered how he almost got into trouble, and he felt a surge of fear.
"There's something strange about this pool of water."
Xue Huan shook her head, "No, it's the Fire Ice Lotus."
"Fire Ice Lotus?"
"Well, this is the Yin-Yang Pond, a landform formed under extreme conditions, and the Fire Ice Lotus is a spiritual plant that was nurtured by the two spiritual energies of ice and fire. Originally, the two spiritual energies of ice and fire were incompatible, but it is precisely because of its existence that the ice pond and the fire pond have reached a delicate balance, allowing them to exist."
This is what Xue Huan read from a book called "Strange Records" in the library of Lingyun Temple.
This book records all kinds of mysterious and strange things, including mountains and rivers, rare treasures, magical plants and animals, etc.
"For self-preservation, the fragrance of the Fire Ice Lotus can cause people to enter a state of trance, unknowingly walking into the Yin-Yang Pond, where their bodies and flesh disappear."
They were caught off guard and smelled some of it, and then they got infected.
Xue Huan picked up a stone from the ground and threw it over. However, before the stone even got close to the water, it suddenly turned into powder in mid-air two steps away from the water and fell to the ground. If someone walked in, the consequences would be unimaginable.
This is simply a natural crematorium and freezing pool.
Even though they had put on thermostats, they could still feel the burning heat and severe cold.
This fantasy world obviously cannot be explained by science.
Xue Huan put another temperature-regulating talisman on herself and Wu Qi, and only then did she feel better.
Although the environment here is unscientific, Fire Amber Beads can only be formed in such a place.
Xue Huan tentatively released her spiritual consciousness, but as soon as it left her body, it was attacked by the extremely rich fire and ice spiritual energy in the cave.
She quickly withdrew her consciousness.
Aura is generally not aggressive, but this is obviously not ordinary aura, but two kinds of aura with opposing properties that have been in collision for years. They have barely reached a state of balance. At this time, she, an outsider, suddenly joined in. Wouldn't she become a target for both sides?
If even spiritual consciousness couldn't be used, then magic was even less effective. Because casting spells required the mobilization of spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy of outsiders would definitely disrupt the balance here. At that time, it might become a fuse, causing the entire Yin Yang Pond to riot.
Since I can’t use my spiritual sense, I can only go and see it with my own eyes.
