Chapter 94: Demon Dragon Nan Dazhuang said happily: "Now the only thing left is...
Nan Dazhuang said happily: "Now there is only one last spiritual material left, the fire lotus seeds."
Everyone looked at Nangong Liuchu, who scratched his head. "Hmm... In a sense, Fire Lotus Seeds are spiritual medicines. I've hated information about spiritual medicines since I was a child."
The Medicine Saint patted Nangong Liuchu's shoulder and said, "It's okay. You've already helped a lot. We can't let a group of us put all the pressure on a junior."
Nangong Liuchu hurriedly asked, "Can you take me with you?"
The Medicine Saint smiled and said, "Let's put it this way, even if I go along, I'll be a burden."
Nangong Liuchu let out a disappointed sound.
But the Lord Ling Ye said, "Take him with you."
Medicine Saint:?
Ling Ye Divine Venerable: "I will be responsible for his safety. This young man has a wealth of knowledge about these unconventional monsters. Bringing him along might be useful."
"Thank you, Lord Lingye. I will go and make the preparations and promise not to cause any trouble to you seniors."
After Nangong Liu left, Divine Venerable Ling Ye looked at the others and said, "The Fire Lotus grows in the Flame Heart Pond. The flames of the Flame Heart Pond aren't particularly intense, but the surrounding magma is a hellish fire capable of incinerating everything. The difficulty lies in getting through the magma to the Flame Heart Pond. We'll have to try to find out just how powerful this magma is. Let's first take our best armor and give it a try."
The Divine Master Ling Ye raised his hand and a protective armor was suspended in the air: "This armor is made from the Black Tortoise Armor, you can give it a try."
Nan Dazhuang's eyes sparkled. It turned out to be the Black Tortoise Purple Scale Armor, the only one of its kind in the world. "Who's going to try it out then? It's just one piece of armor, so we can't go all the way."
The Divine Master Ling Ye moved his fingertips slightly, and the armor appeared before the eyes of the Grand Judge Nan. "You seem to like this armor very much, so you can try it on."
"Okay... eh? This... this..."
Ling Ye Divine Master frowned slightly: "Are you afraid of hard work?"
Nan Dazhuang quickly changed his tone, "No, I'm not afraid. It's just that Lord Lingye has entrusted such a treasure to me. If anything were to be damaged, I wouldn't be able to afford the compensation. That's why I hesitated. But since the Lord Lingye has placed such trust in me, I will definitely fulfill my mission."
Ling Ye Divine Venerable: "Why don't you leave?"
"Now?! Um... okay..."
Nan Dazhuang took the armor and left.
Fu Guangjun: "Then I'll go back and prepare."
…
The next day, Nan Dazhuang came back covered in dust, with his hair and eyebrows burned off.
"Lord Lingye, I really tried my best. Let alone the Flame Pool, I didn't even get through one-tenth of the blazing sap. The closer I got to the Flame Pool, the more intense the hellfire became. The armor was completely useless. If I hadn't run so fast, I would have been left there."
Lord Lingye nodded slightly.
"Has the God anticipated this?"
Lord Lingye agreed.
Nan Dazhuang complained silently, saying that it was a wasted trip for him.
Ling Ye Divine Venerable: "You go and recuperate first. We will set off for the East China Sea in three days."
Nan Dazhuang hummed and turned to leave.
Lord Ling Ye frowned. It seemed that relying on the treasure to protect him to reach the Flame Pool would not work. He could only rely on his cultivation. However, there was no need to rush for the time being. He would try again after obtaining the other two items.
He sighed as he thought about it. In the past, Xihe had taken care of all these things. He was only responsible for running errands and doing whatever Xihe said. Now that things have fallen on him, he really feels the burden. Xihe, you should recover your mentality soon. I am never as thorough as you. It seems that the real thing is about to happen. What if I give the wrong instructions and hurt these people... Sigh! The pressure is a bit too much!
…
Three days later, everyone had gathered. They hadn't told Li Youyang about his current condition, but just as they were about to leave, Li Youyang arrived and asked, "You took this risk for me, why didn't you tell me?"
Ling Ye Divine Venerable did not answer but asked, "Are you really at ease leaving your precious Taoist companion here alone?"
Li Youyang subconsciously touched his chest: "He's here."
Ling Ye Divine Venerable was speechless for a moment. Oh my God! Is this still the Xihe Divine Venerable he knew?!
After three days of sailing, the flying boat finally arrived at the East China Sea.
Lord Lingye and the Medicine Sage asked for the elixir specially prepared for the demon dragon and went to the East China Sea.
Half an hour passed, and there was no movement at all. Fu Guangjun couldn't help but feel anxious: "How about I go down and take a look?"
The Medicine Saint stopped him and said, "The calm weather means that Divine Master Ling Ye hasn't encountered the demon dragon yet. Wait patiently."
Another quarter of an hour later, huge waves suddenly rose on the sea, and everyone in the flying boat retreated a little further.
Immediately afterwards, the entire sea was engulfed in strong winds and huge waves, and then a hundred-meter-long dragon followed the God Lingye and rushed out of the sea.
The Medicine Saint looked at Fu Guangjun and was about to speak when Fu Guangjun had already taken action. The two of them could only cooperate for three breaths before the demon dragon was at a disadvantage. Seeing that the situation was not good, the demon dragon wanted to escape back to the sea, but when he turned around, he was cut in half by Li Youyang and the demon pill was taken away.
Everyone was stunned:
"This...when did he go there?"
"Youyang's cultivation is even better than before."
"As expected of a Master, no matter what state of mind you are in, you can always turn the tide at the critical moment."
Fu Guangjun and Ling Ye Shenzun both breathed a sigh of relief. If they let this guy go back, it would not be so easy to trick him back.
At this moment, Nangong Liuchu suddenly exclaimed: "Two seniors, get out of the way!"
Fu Guangjun was the first to react. A teleportation array enveloped the God Lingye, and he returned to the flying boat in an instant. At the same time, Li Youyang's sword fingers moved quickly, and tens of thousands of sword seals rushed towards the golden demon dragon behind the two of them. Then he flew back to the flying boat on the sword. Nan Dazhuang drove the flying boat away quickly, and the golden dragon chased after him relentlessly until they were out of the sea and could no longer catch up.
Nangong Liuchu breathed a sigh of relief. "That was a close call. According to ancient records, the scales of demon dragons are originally cyan, but as their cultivation increases, the color of their scales gradually deepens, eventually turning golden yellow. This demon dragon is probably the leader of all the demon dragons. If we can't defeat it, we'll die. If we defeat it, we'll stir up a hornet's nest and will inevitably get stung a few times."
The Medicine Saint stroked Nangong Liuchu's black hair and said, "If you put all your thoughts into the path of alchemy, you will definitely achieve great things in the future. Do you want to become my disciple?"
Nangong Liuchu shuddered: "Thank you for your love, senior, but I'm really not interested in the way of alchemy. Please spare me!"
Fu Guangjun looked at the Divine Master Ling Ye and asked, "Next, should we go to the extremely cold land or look for the Fire Lotus Seeds?"
Nan Dazhuang silently followed up with a sentence: "Can't you just go back and rest for a while?"
Ling Ye Divine Venerable was too lazy to pay attention: "I haven't figured out a way to get to the Flame Pool yet, let's go to the extremely cold land to look for the Ice Python first."
…
It took the flying boat a full half month to reach the extremely cold place.
Ling Ye Divine Lord gazed into the distance, seeing endless ice before him. "This ice python exists only in legends, and the extremely cold land is so vast. How are we supposed to find it? We can't just search inch by inch. Young friend Nangong, do you have any ideas?"
Nangong Liuchu lowered his eyes in thought, and finally shook his head: "There are too few records about ice pythons in ancient books, and I can't think of a way to search for them."
Nan Dazhuang said casually: "Since it is rare, it is either cunning and hiding, or it is in a place where ordinary people don't go."
Fu Guangjun's eyes lit up: "No matter how cunning he is, he can't be more cunning than the Nine-tailed Fox. If this thing really exists, it must be somewhere that cultivators won't go. There is only one place in the extremely cold land that all cultivators avoid."
"Ice Peak."
Nan Dazhuang was stunned for a moment: "Are we really going over there? I just said it casually, it may not really be there. Maybe this thing is even more cunning than the nine-tailed fox."
Lord Lingye frowned. Mr. Nan worked tirelessly to turn the flying boat around. He was so unlucky to have met this evil star.
It was not until midnight that everyone reached the Jibing Peak.
There is a saying circulating on the Jiuzhou Continent that the Jibing Peak is the connection point between the Jiuzhou Continent and other dimensions. Once you reach the Jibing Peak, you will be pulled into that alien dimension and it will be difficult to get out.
Without hesitation, Divine Master Ling Ye and Lord Fu Guang disembarked from the flying boat and ascended to Jibing Peak. Nangong Liuchu was about to make a move, but Li Youyang said coldly, "The rest of you must stay on the flying boat and not move."
Nan Dazhuang breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to go in the first place, and this was exactly what he wanted.
Half a minute later, a blizzard broke out on the Jibing Peak, and everyone's vision was gradually obscured by the blizzard. When the blizzard dissipated, the figures of Lingye Shenzun and Fuguang Jun were no longer visible.
Nan Dazhuang muttered softly, "I told you I shouldn't have gone."
Li Youyang looked at Ji Bingfeng coldly. It was impossible for a person to really disappear, and it was even less likely that it was some alien space. It was most likely a magic trick.
After a careful search, Li Youyang's eyes darkened slightly. He found it, and then drew a sword seal with his finger. With a loud bang, the illusion array was broken, and everyone saw Fu Guangjun and Ling Ye Shenzun again, the two of them were spinning in place.
Li Youyang's eyes were cold. The person who set up the formation must be very strong to be able to confuse these two people at the same time. He thought about flying down with his sword, and pointed the sword finger at the eyebrows of the two people respectively. The two people woke up in an instant.
"What a powerful technique."
Li Youyang said coldly, "I'm more familiar with the battle of magic. You guys go to the flying boat and wait for me."
Fu Guangjun clenched his fist and said, "I'll stay with you."
Ling Ye Divine Venerable said coldly: "He has confused our minds with just one magic. If you stay, you will only cause trouble for him. It is better to go back and wait. If something unexpected happens, you can help him later."
Fu Guangjun's fingertips were deeply embedded in his palm. He wanted to make up for his previous mistake, but he couldn't help at all when he followed over. In the end, Li Youyang had to charge ahead alone. He was really useless.
Lord Lingye lost his patience and directly dragged Lord Fuguang onto the flying boat on his sword.
After the two left, Li Youyang quickly moved his sword to form a spell, and then found a place to sit and wait.
After about three breaths, a little boy in white came out and tried to break the spell several times without success. "Your spell is quite amazing. Could you teach me?"
Li Youyang looked at the little boy and said, "I need the Ice Python Heart. If you're willing to trade, I'll teach you. Furthermore, I have a collection of my own techniques, which contains over a hundred techniques even more profound than this. If you're willing to trade, I can give it to you as well."
The little boy frowned: "Do you know what I am?"
Li Youyang said coldly, "Ice Python."
