The ripples from the explosion directly caused waves of disturbance deep within the inner region.
After the terrifying release of energy subsided, the once lush jungle was now a vast expanse of scorched earth, and countless spatial rifts appeared at the epicenter of the explosion.
Qin Xin and the others, who were shakily sitting up from the ground, looked at the scorched earth in front of them, their eyes filled with shock.
The four were still shaken by the terrifying destructive power of Qin Xin's combined martial arts attacks. Fortunately, they managed to escape quickly, and with Qin Xin's protection, they were not seriously injured. Otherwise, they would have been killed on the spot.
The orange glow on his body and the scattered pieces of the Heavenly Phoenix Armor, damaged by the explosion, has now faded.
"Cough! Cough!"
He coughed lightly twice, which aggravated his injured internal organs, and the intense pain made Qin Xin grimace.
Qin Xin had used this method of combining martial arts attacks many times, but each time he used it, he felt fear.
However, after his strength improved, especially after entering the Spirit Form Realm, Qin Xin could clearly feel that he could control the martial arts attack fusion method at will.
After the fused fire blade was thrown out, injecting spiritual sense into it could even delay the explosion. It was because of this that Qin Xin and the others only suffered some minor injuries in the explosion, unlike in the past when they were in such a sorry state.
After supporting himself, Qin Xin looked at the spatial cracks in the center of the explosion and felt a sense of fear, which made him more wary of this inner region.
Qin Xin was well aware of the destructive power of the fire blade explosion, but in this inner region, it only blew up all the strange trees and bushes, without creating any large craters.
From this, Qin Xin also realized that this inner region was not simple.
After a brief rest, Qin Xin regained a sliver of his inner energy and led the others away from the spot.
Although some martial artists dare not even set foot in the depths of this inner region, this is not absolute. If some martial artists discover that the group is injured, they will inevitably take action.
Just after the five figures disappeared from the scorched earth.
Five figures appeared in the scorched earth. Looking at the devastation around them, the five exchanged glances and then rushed off in all directions, seemingly searching for any traces left after the explosion.
"Second Prince, I have found something."
The woman, with her swaying waist like a water snake, held up a broken hand bone with a spatial ring attached to it.
"Ruan Yuan, go and fetch that spatial ring," the man known as the Second Prince instructed Ruan Yuan, who was standing beside him.
After responding, Ruan Yuan walked up to the woman, took off the spatial ring from her hand bone, casually erased the soul mark on it, and then handed it to the second prince.
Of course, Ruan Yuan's hand didn't forget to gently caress the woman's shapely buttocks, eliciting soft moans.
These three were none other than Xia Qi, the second prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, and Ruan Xiaoman and Ruan Yuan of the Ruan clan.
"Second Prince, judging from your appearance, there must be quite a few good things in this spatial ring!" Two figures approached from a distance as Xia Qi examined the spatial ring with a furrowed brow.
"Yunyi, since we're cooperating, there should be some trust between us, right? Don't forget the purpose of our trip," Ruan Yuan said, stepping forward as the two approached.
Ruan Xiaoman also swayed her body as she stepped forward, saying with a hint of resentment, "It's a pity about Wu Fa. If he had entered the depths of this inner region with us, we would have had a much better chance of obtaining that thing."
"I think you just want Wu Fa to be your free thug. He's the number one in our Kunmen, he's not stupid." Ji Ju, who was protecting Yun Yi, glanced at Ruan Xiaoman with some disdain. He was very wary of the woman in front of him.
Seeing that the group seemed about to clash, Yun Yi immediately raised his hand to stop Ji Ju from arguing with the two people in front of him.
Xia Qi naturally did not want a conflict to break out among them, so he directly stopped Ruan Yuan and Ruan Xiaoman.
"You should take a look at this!" Xia Qi tossed out the spatial ring.
Yun Yi quickly took it, and as he touched the patterns on the spatial ring, his eyes were filled with surprise. He said, "This is the emblem of the Ding Dynasty, and only royalty can use it. Could it be..."
Xia Qi nodded slightly, agreeing with Yun Yi's guess, "It seems that it's best not to touch the things in this spatial ring. That old monster from the Ding Dynasty is not easy to deal with. If we anger him, it may directly cause a war between the two dynasties."
Yun Yi was naturally aware of the implications. After tossing his spatial ring into the spatial rift, he asked, "Who are they? If they're also after that thing?"
Yun Yi scanned the surroundings with some concern. Although the lingering aura from the explosion felt somewhat familiar, he didn't believe it was left by the person he was thinking of, and instead placed his suspicions on a martial artist who had suddenly appeared in the Eastern Wilderness.
"I hope so. I would also like to meet this person. If he could join my Great Xia Dynasty, that would be the best outcome." Xia Qi spoke casually, but his voice carried a chilling undertone.
What angered him was that if Lin Jinglei hadn't died so inexplicably after entering this inner region, they wouldn't have needed to cooperate with Yun Yi.
The five continued their search, but apart from finding a corpse burned to ashes, they found nothing else of value and had no choice but to leave.
On the other side, Qin Xin left the original spot and found a secluded valley to rest.
Along the way, he naturally hunted down some fire toads that came near, collecting their fiery red beads for cultivation. His recovery speed was quite good; Qin Xin's injuries had mostly healed, and the true energy he had consumed was also rapidly recovering.
After the five stopped, Qin Xin's tense mood eased considerably, and he then remembered the Earth Fire Thousand Flame Mushroom in Zhan Qingqi's hand.
"Um, Qingqi, I've been searching for that Earth Fire Thousand Flame Herb, could you..." Qin Xin didn't stand on ceremony; he took Hua Jin's request very seriously, so he spoke directly.
Without any hesitation, Zhan Qingqi took out the Earth Fire Thousand Flame Mushroom from her spatial ring and said calmly, "Here you go!"
Qin Xin was surprised that Zhan Qingqi would be so generous as to give him the Earth Fire Thousand Flame Herb directly, and Zhan Qingyue, who was beside her, did not object at all, as if she also agreed with Zhan Qingqi's actions.
Qin Xin didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it directly. This Earth Fire Thousand Flame Mushroom was exactly the same as the one recorded in the catalog that Hua Jin had given him, and Qin Xin's face was full of joy.
After carefully accepting the Earth Fire Thousand Flame Herb, Qin Xin took out some Five Elements Condensing True Pills and Yellow Dragon Profound True Pills and handed them to the two women. Although these fourth-grade pills were not as expensive as the Earth Fire Thousand Flame Herb, they were still a token of Qin Xin's goodwill.
Zhan Qingqi and Zhan Qingyue seemed to know Qin Xin's thoughts as well, and to avoid making him feel guilty, they accepted all the pills directly.
"By the way, this inner region is quite dangerous. How did you get here?" Qin Xin asked the two women with some confusion.
Zhan Qingqi looked conflicted, but ultimately chose to tell them, "Do you know that there is a spirit pool in this inner region?"
"The Spirit Pool? You actually came all the way to this depths of the inner region for that thing!"
Ming Ningzhu, who had been silent, walked over excitedly after hearing about the spirit pool.
