Taking advantage of Ming Ningzhu's momentary lapse in thought, Longmu...
He grabbed two fiery red beads and hid behind Qin Xin.
"laugh!"
The blazing flames instantly enveloped Ming Ningzhu's entire body. Her cold eyes stared at Long Mu with a murderous gaze that made Qin Xin feel a little scared and dare not meet her eyes.
However, just as the blue Lion Heart Flame was rising from Ming Ningzhu's body, Qin Xin also felt that the beast fire seemed to be stronger than before.
"You bad woman! Here you go!"
Longmu seemed quite wary of the beast fire in Ming Ningzhu's hand, Gangshi Xinyan, and hurriedly threw out a fiery red bead while muttering something under his breath.
With a light tap of her finger, Ming Ningzhu caused the fiery red bead to explode, its pure spiritual energy flowing directly into her body. In that instant, the Lion Heart Flame also became slightly more powerful.
Longmu hid behind Qin Xin, watching the fiery red bead being refined. He pouted as if he had been greatly wronged, and swallowed the fiery red bead in his hand into the air. His mouth kept making popping sounds, which made Qin Xin's scalp tingle.
To prevent his spiritual energy from dissipating, Longmu tried his best to keep his mouth tightly shut, causing his small face to become somewhat distorted.
The pure spiritual energy in the fiery red bead was quickly absorbed by the two of them. Long Mu tugged at Qin Xin's sleeve and whispered, "Qin Xin, this is a bad woman. You'd better stay away from her."
Before Qin Xin could speak...
Seemingly having overheard Long Mu's whisper, Ming Ningzhu walked straight up and said with a smile, "So, you want to spit out all the Fire Toad Spirit Pearls that you secretly swallowed all day?"
As Ming Ningzhu walked, she clenched her small fists. In Long Mu's eyes, she was like a raging lioness.
Seeing the two of them like this, Qin Xin felt somewhat helpless. He knew Long Mu quite well; his only hobby was eating spiritual herbs. To his surprise, Long Mu was also very interested in the fiery red bead.
"If I don't eat more, how can I grow up?" Long Mu muttered a few words, somewhat resentfully, as if he was worried that Ming Ningzhu would harm him.
Now, Longmu has entered the Qi Sea Realm in this inner region due to some opportunities. However, compared with Ming Ningzhu, who has the peak of the third level of the Qi Sea Realm, his strength is still somewhat weaker.
To ease the tense atmosphere, Qin Xin reluctantly spoke up, "Ahem, Miss Ningzhu..."
Before Qin Xin could finish speaking, Ming Ningzhu, who had been walking forward, suddenly slowed down and stood still.
Long Mu, who noticed Ming Ningzhu's unusual behavior, wanted to go forward to investigate, but Qin Xin stopped him directly.
At this moment, where Ming Ningzhu's martial core was located, powerful true energy flowed rapidly, and blue flame ripples appeared around her body, spreading outwards continuously with the surge of true energy.
"We're about to break through."
Qin Xin quickly pulled Long Mu back a few steps to avoid disturbing Ming Ningzhu's breakthrough.
This was the first time Qin Xin had witnessed a Qi Sea Realm martial artist break through, and he was quite curious to inquire about it.
As a blue flame rose, a bright blue light shone from Ming Ningzhu's martial core, and the eye of her dantian within rapidly circulated, causing the true qi vortex to rotate accordingly.
After being continuously flung out, drops of true liquid fell into the dantian.
Ming Ningzhu's aura gradually grew stronger.
As all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth poured into her body was refined, the Qi Sea Eye within Ming Ningzhu's martial core slowly stopped circulating. Her beautiful eyes blinked and suddenly opened, flashing a blue light.
Ming Ningzhu was overjoyed after completing the breakthrough. She hadn't expected that the fiery red bead from the fire toad would help her break through to the fourth level of the Qi Sea Realm.
On the other side, Longmu looked disdainful, but there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes. It seemed that Ming Ningzhu's breakthrough had made it much more difficult for him to obtain more fiery red beads.
"You've broken through." Qin Xin asked as he stepped forward after Ming Ningzhu's true energy subsided.
Ming Ningzhu nodded slightly and then said nothing.
Qin Xin's next task was to find the Earth Fire Thousand Flame Mushroom that he had promised Hua Jin. After entering this inner domain, he discovered that the Earth Fire Thousand Flame Mushroom was not commonly found on the outskirts of this inner domain. To obtain it, he would have to go deeper into the inner domain. However, through his spiritual sense, he knew that the deeper into the inner domain, the more dangerous it would be.
Therefore, Qin Xin decided to part ways with Long Mu and Ming Ningzhu for the time being, and truthfully told them about his search for spiritual herbs.
To Qin Xin's surprise, Long Mu ran directly behind him and said he would follow him until they left this inner region.
Ming Ningzhu, who had just entered the fourth level of the Qi Sea Realm, hesitated for a moment. After all, she had experienced the benefits that the fiery red beads produced after the fire toad strangled her, and she even had the idea that if she could keep hunting, she could even enter the sixth level of the Qi Sea Realm before leaving the inner domain.
However, Ming Ningzhu quickly put aside her distracting thoughts and looked at Long Mu with a smile, saying, "Since you're going to search for spiritual herbs, I'll naturally go with you. I can't let you get away with this."
Seeing Ming Ningzhu targeting him like this, Long Mu immediately became somewhat irritable and said angrily, "You wicked woman! What are you doing following us! With me here, you can forget about making a move on Qin Xin!"
Qin Xin was somewhat at a loss after witnessing the two arguing so fiercely.
"If you keep arguing, then none of you should come along."
Seeing that Qin Xin was getting impatient, the noise between Long Mu and Ming Ningzhu immediately quieted down.
After calming down, Qin Xin surveyed his surroundings and, based on his memories of the inner region, roughly determined his location.
Thinking about the somewhat fragmented locations recorded on the map, Qin Xin steeled his resolve and headed directly into the depths of the inner region.
Within this inner region, the outer perimeter is generally quite safe. Most people who enter here choose to hunt fire toads on the outskirts to improve their strength. Only a small number of stronger martial artists venture deeper into the area.
This is mainly because there are many dangers deep within this inner region. Although some simple records have been made through continuous exploration, these records were obtained at the cost of countless sacrifices.
Even a powerful force like the Eastern Wilderness Academy, the largest power in the Eastern Wilderness, doesn't know much about this somewhat mysterious inner domain. However, it is a perfect place for disciples below the Qi Sea Realm to cultivate and break through. Because of the opening of the inner domain each time, in addition to the Eastern Wilderness Academy, all the major forces in the Eastern Wilderness send their disciples here.
Why did so many families and forces attend the Eastern Wilderness Pill Gathering? Although they wanted to get to know some young alchemists, it would be even better if they could be invited to join their families.
In fact, the main purpose of these forces gathering in Black Dragon City is this inner region.
The three of them traversed the jungle, occasionally hunting down the fire toads around them and collecting the fiery red beads for their cultivation.
Qin Xin naturally collected some as well, and found that after these beads were refined, the concentration of spiritual energy was indeed several times faster than when he absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through his martial spirit, which greatly accelerated his cultivation pace.
As more and more spiritual liquid floated within the martial pill, Qin Xin and the other two continued to venture deeper into the depths.
