Before he was found by Fang Siyuan, Nangong Lie had been killing Flame Demons in this lava field for the sake of obtaining the two Fire Crystals that formed the Flame Demon's eyes. These Fire Crystals contained extremely rich fire Yuan Energy. Even though Nangong Lie was an eighth-level Great Void Stage expert, it was still extremely beneficial to him.
Nangong Lie could not help but feel envious when he saw how effortlessly Lu Xuan obtained so many Fire Crystals. More importantly, he knew that Lu Xuan had probably gathered all the Flame Demons in this lava field. In other words, he would not be able to obtain Fire Crystals anywhere else even if he wanted to.
Lu Xuan smiled when he saw Nangong Lie's reaction. He took out twenty Fire Crystals from his storage ring and handed them to Nangong Lie. "Brother Nangong, these things should be of great benefit to you. In order to celebrate our happy cooperation, this is a small token of my appreciation."
Nangong Lie smiled as he stared at the things that Lu Xuan handed to him. "How can I accept this? These Fire Crystals are very valuable. Brother Lu, you are also proficient in the Law of Fire, so you must be in urgent need of these things."
Lu Xuan shook his head. While these fire crystals were great, he had the Lifire Essence. When it came to the purity of the power of fire, these fire crystals could not compare to the Lifire Essence at all. Instead of absorbing them, he might as well use them to build a deeper relationship.
"Brother Nangong, you don't have to decline. Since we are sincerely cooperating, why should we care about these little things?" Lu Xuan said generously.
"Since Brother Lu is so generous, then I won't say anything more." Nangong Lie gladly accepted the Fire Crystals. He had a higher opinion of Lu Xuan. Not only was Lu Xuan's strength unfathomable, but he was also not stingy. He was indeed a person worth befriending. The hope of the Nangong Clan's rise might really fall on Lu Xuan's shoulders.
Lu Xuan stuffed a flame crystal into Little Tanuki's hand and let it chew on it. He asked, "Brother Nangong, where are you going next?"
Nangong Lie looked around and sighed, "Actually, my main purpose for coming here this time is to search for treasures. I originally wanted to stay in this lava field for three months and slowly collect some Fire Crystal Stones. Now, it seems that there is no need to continue staying here."
"Why don't we travel together?" Lu Xuan suggested. He naturally hoped to have Nangong Lie by his side. After all, the source of his powerful strength was the few great treasures in the seal. Although he had obtained the Fire Essence, his strength would be reduced once he left the lava field. Although he was not completely powerless, he was still not strong enough to challenge an expert of Level Six Grand Void Realm like Dong Ruyi, let alone a true expert of Level Eight Grand Void Realm like Nangong Lie.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Lie did not understand the trace of anticipation in Lu Xuan's tone. Instead, he shook his head cautiously and said, "No, we must keep our relationship a secret. We can't appear together openly. We can only contact each other privately. So, for the sake of safety, we must go our separate ways."
"Uh … okay." Lu Xuan was momentarily speechless. In Nangong Lie's eyes, he was now an expert with unfathomable strength. Naturally, he could not lower himself to beg Nangong Lie to be with him. If he did, his disguise would be exposed. Moreover, even without Nangong Lie, Lu Xuan might not be in too much danger.
Nangong Lie nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly turned around and handed a token to Lu Xuan. "This token is the communication token of my Nangong Family. Those who have the same token can contact each other. If Brother Lu comes across a disciple of the Nangong Family who is in trouble, please help if you can. I thank you in advance."
"No problem. If I can help, I will." Lu Xuan nodded as he fiddled with the token in his hand. He had received the token of the Illusory God Sect and the token of the Octagonal Temple, but he had never received the token of the Jiuhua Alliance. He wondered how his master, Bing 'er, and the others were doing.
When he thought of Zhao Bing 'er and the others, Lu Xuan's heart sank slightly. Although he had only been in the sealed area for less than ten days, he had seen too many things. The strange Soul Race and the malicious humans had already died before his eyes. However, none of these people had died because of the Soul Race. Instead, they had all died at the hands of the humans.
He couldn't help but think of Ye Tian's words. The decline of the human race was due to internal strife. These words were true.
After bidding farewell to Lu Xuan, Nangong Lie and the other members of the Nangong family turned and left. Lu Xuan glanced in the direction that Nangong Lie and the others had left in. He turned and walked in the opposite direction. He didn't know what lay ahead, but he knew that it was the sealed area.
"Huo Li, do you know if there are any Soul Race members hiding in this fiery land?" Lu Xuan asked. Huo Li already knew from his explanation that the Soul Race members were the ones who tore apart his toys many years ago.
"I don't think so. Ever since I burned some of the Soul Race members to death, they fled elsewhere. However, they would occasionally send a few Soul Beasts to take a look. They aren't much of a threat," Huo Li replied.
Lu Xuan nodded lightly. The Soul Race members knew how powerful Huo Li was. After offending him once, they didn't dare to appear again. Since there were no Soul Race members in this fiery land, Lu Xuan had one less worry to worry about. He sped up and rushed towards the other side of the fiery land.
Gradually, the surrounding temperature became more and more normal. The dry heat in the air also began to disappear. All signs indicated that Lu Xuan and the others weren't far from leaving the fiery land.
"I don't know where we're going next. I hope it's a vast forest with dense foliage," Little Tanuki said exaggeratedly. "I don't want to stay in this kind of place anymore. One moment, the sky is filled with yellow sand and it's so dry. The next moment, it's overflowing with lava. It's unbearably hot."
Lu Xuan smiled and patted Little Tanuki's head. "Didn't you manage to endure it in the end? Come, eat another Flame Crystal. Do you feel anything after eating it? "
Little Tanuki stuffed the solid Flame Crystal into her mouth and bit off a piece with her sharp teeth. She said, "I don't feel anything else. It's just a little hot … Hmm, it seems like my bloodline is also boiling. Maybe this thing can help me successfully break through to rank four bloodline!"
"Don't worry, I'll make sure you eat your fill!" Lu Xuan waved his storage room. The Flame Crystals he left behind were all for Little Tanuki's rations.
As they spoke, Lu Xuan led the group over a towering mountain peak. As they looked down, they were instantly stunned.
