Chapter 417: Ice and Fire Cave, Inner Demon Bewitching
"Strange, could it be that my Eryuan Sect has been robbed?"
"Why are there so many ruins? My beloved Ice and Fire Cave has been ruined beyond recognition."
Let’s talk about the group of people. They have been traveling together since they met when Wanbao Academy collapsed.
Li Changxiao, Zhang Mo and others followed behind the team. They were unfamiliar with each other in the first few days, and they thought Li Changxiao was a demon in their hearts, so they didn't say a few words to each other for a few days. However, their ancestor, in order to show his profound Taoism, often talked to Li Changxiao and even gave Li Changxiao some advice on cultivation. Li Changxiao benefited a lot and asked the ancestor for advice on some of the doubts that had accumulated in his heart.
The ancestor was even more open-minded and did not hide any of the profound principles.
The two of them were in a lively mood, chatting and laughing, and even sat drinking together for several nights. They were very happy and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Under the old ancestor's demonstration, some young flowers gradually became bold enough to communicate with Li Changxiao.
There were all kinds of things to say, some talked about past glory, and some talked about their former Taoist companions.
Especially Wu Changkong, when Li Changxiao asked about his private life, he laughed and admitted that he was indeed a romantic in the past.
In this way, after a few days, they could barely be considered familiar with each other, and at least they were no longer in an awkward situation of being speechless.
The inner demon seemed to have merged into it.
As for Zhang Mo and the other two, they were actually fine. Except for Zhao Qiu who was always timid, Zhang Mo and Wang Huang also treated these seedlings as normal people.
And under the guidance of the old ancestor, Li Changxiao also got to know the completely different Dual Yuan Sect.
Li Changxiao thought that he had explored all the important places in the Eryuan Sect.
There is not much point in continuing to explore. It is just looking at the broken ruins over and over again, that's all.
However, it is not.
He still underestimated the vastness of the Binary Sect.
There are still many secret places that he has never set foot on.
That's it.
The ancestor led everyone through a mountain path and followed a specific path to a hidden cave.
The entrance of the cave was wide open, and inside there was both icy air that had not melted for millions of years, and scorching air that had burned for millions of years.
The two energies meet.
Good fortune is rolling in.
This ice and volcano cave is the place where the magical herbs are nurtured. It was also created by the ancestor himself with a lot of energy and nearly ten thousand years of time.
He is the only one who knows where it is, and he is the only one who can find it.
Even if there were a cultivator in the fusion stage who used his spiritual sense to scan the entire place, he would never be able to find this place.
He was excited about breaking through the shackles of heaven and earth, and at this moment he brought everyone to this cave. He wanted to give the magical herbs, flowers and fruits that he had cultivated to the children who followed him.
"Children, you are in for a treat, so don't lose your composure later."
Before entering the ice and volcano cave, the old ancestor said with a smile.
However, once you enter the cave, you'll see a desolate scene that you've never imagined.
Most of the magical flowers had withered, and a foul stench was emanating from the air. There were also strange-looking flies, centipedes, and poisonous snakes lingering around.
This is not a magical cave at all; it is no exaggeration to say that it is a poisonous cave.
The ancestor was naturally angry, but not extremely angry.
People are always like this. When they think they have something better, they will not feel too angry or regretful about the departure of something slightly inferior.
Can quickly withdraw from it.
In the eyes of the ancestor, he had already broken the shackles, so why ask for too much? Perhaps the withered divine flowers and divine fruits here were the price he had to pay for breaking through the shackles of heaven.
Regardless of the outcome of the plan to create flowers on fire, Li Changxiao really admired this calm demeanor.
Even though the remains of the divine flowers scattered all over the ground had never belonged to him, he still felt extremely distressed.
Fortunately, not all of the magical flowers and herbs in the cave were rotten and infested with insects. After careful searching, everyone found that there were still twenty-one mythical flowers that could barely be eaten.
Soon, each of the flower seedlings got a flower and swallowed it whole.
"Elder, that's not right. After I took this divine flower, although it had an effect, the effect was too weak, as if it didn't exist. Are you sure this is a divine flower?"
"Yes, Elder, what's up with these magical flowers? Their effects are average, not as good as the magical herbs I took before. I was so happy for nothing."
After taking the magical objects, several people frowned and asked, unable to hide their disappointment.
The ancestor also picked a piece of the magical herb, which was still well preserved, and put it into his mouth, feeling the effect of the magical object in his body.
"That's really true."
"How strange, how strange, how strange."
"It shouldn't be like this. This is a cave of ice and fire. The growth of the spiritual plants here does not rely on spiritual energy. Even if this cave is covered by the fire formation, it shouldn't lose so much of its effectiveness."
Li Changxiao hesitated for a moment, then spoke: "The spiritual energy was completely exhausted, all things perished, even these spiritual plants could not escape..."
"No! Shut up!"
The old ancestor's "No" was almost a shout, his expression ferocious, "You, the inner demon, are really thinking about bewitching us all the time!"
"Haha, I tell you, no way! We have even survived the Fire Land, our Taoism is so strong! Do you really think that you can disturb our Taoism with just a few words? Haha."
"Ok?"
Having said this, the old ancestor's originally ferocious expression instantly became peaceful.
He stroked the sparse white beard on his chin and said, "I already know why."
"Have you ever heard of the saying that when adversity reaches its peak, good times will come. When adversity reaches its peak, it will turn into good times. The magic herbs here are exactly the opposite."
"The growth of these magical herbs is too smooth, causing the medicinal properties to fade away faster after they mature."
He sighed, "It's because we have been struggling in the land of fire for too long. These magical herbs have matured long ago. Their medicinal power has reached its peak, but in the end, a reversal occurred and they began to drain away quickly."
"The ancestor is indeed knowledgeable and experienced. Hahaha, after hearing what you said, I immediately understood."
"The ancestor's principles are indeed easy to understand, hahaha."
After hearing this, all the Hua Miao breathed a sigh of relief.
I'll just say it.
How could it be that the spiritual energy has been exhausted and all things have ceased to exist?
There was a hint of caution in their eyes when they looked at Li Changxiao.
It seems that this inner demon cannot be underestimated.
After passing the ice and volcano cave, everyone continued to move forward. However, during the rest of the journey, Li Changxiao could clearly feel that the flower seedlings in the volcanic land were keeping a distance from him.
Even some people who had gotten along well with him before kept their distance from him and didn't dare to get close to him.
The inner demon is the inner demon, and a few words can make people tremble. Until now, the more I think about it, the more scared I am.
Even more than disciples.
Even their ancestor, who had been generous in teaching Li Changxiao the knowledge of cultivation and had a very pleasant conversation with him, was no longer as calm as he was at the beginning when facing Li Changxiao.
Many times, he was even unwilling to pay attention to Li Changxiao.
Faced with this situation, Li Changxiao sighed and said that the complexity of the facts was really difficult to sort out.
By accident, he destroyed the Wanbao Academy, which symbolized the essence of human wisdom.
But it was precisely because of this that these flower seedlings were released so that they would not have to be trapped in the fire for the rest of their lives.
Of course it saved their lives.
But at the same time, it saved their lives.
However, it also caused these flower seedlings to fall into a state of self-madness, thinking that they had violated the laws of heaven and earth, which led to the collapse of Wanbao Academy.
Make them excited, make them crazy.
