"How could this be?" Qin Fen couldn't understand what was happening.
Little Pig said, "Maybe the Snow Spirit Lotus and the Spirit Sunflower Heavenly Fire are incompatible. Master, please put the Spirit Sunflower away first."
Qin Fen didn't need Little Pig's reminder. He had already started to put the Spirit Sunflower Heavenly Fire away, but it was very slow.
Qin Fen heaved a sigh of relief and flipped through the Encyclopedia of Medicinal Pills. Although he had read about the Snow Spirit Lotus before, he had only skimmed through it. After reading the introduction, Qin Fen suddenly realized that it was a spirit herb that could upgrade the 'Yin Fire' attribute.
The Unusual Fires in the Divine Supreme Continent were divided into two types. One was the 'Yang Fire' like the Spirit Sunflower and the Purple Serene Flame, and the other was the 'Yin Fire.' The Yin Fire Seed was very special. Although it was a flame, it had a cold temperature.
The Twin Snow Spirit Lotus was a resource that could upgrade the Yin Fire, but Qin Fen used it to upgrade the Spirit Sunflower Seed. No wonder it had a devouring effect.
"Senior Qin, what's going on?" Fang Shu couldn't understand what was happening.
Qin Fen said simply, "It's nothing. We can't take these Snow Spirit Lotuses with us. Let's go find the entrance to the third layer."
Qin Fen didn't refine the Snow Spirit Pill on the spot because it was useless to him. Plus, the Twin Snow Spirit Lotuses weren't of high quality, so the Snow Spirit Pill he refined was only average.
The two stayed in the second layer for another two days, but they still couldn't find the entrance. Instead, they saw the masked woman in a red dress, Hong Chen Wu.
"Senior Qin, wait for me …"
Qin Fen wanted to leave on his sword, but he stopped in the snow and waited for Hong Chen Wu to catch up. He really wanted to know this woman's intentions.
"What do you want?" Qin Fen's expression was cold.
Hong Chen Wu immediately bowed and cupped her fists, performing the standard martial arts etiquette. When she bent her body slightly, her perfect figure was displayed in front of Qin Fen, making him fantasize.
"Senior Qin, please don't misunderstand. I mean no harm. I want to follow you because I want to go to the higher layer," Hong Chen Wu said.
"Who told you I can find the entrance to the higher layer?" Qin Fen raised his brows.
"A few days ago, when Senior Qin found the entrance to the Second Snow Region, I could tell that you were a Formation Master. I believe that you will definitely be able to find the entrance to the Higher Snow Region," Hongchen Wu said honestly.
Qin Feng looked at her again, thinking that this woman was definitely not simple. Her thoughts were meticulous, and there was a strange aura around her that even Qin Feng could not understand.
"Even if I'm a formation master, we're not related at all. Why should I bring you along?" Qin Feng's attitude was cold. He wasn't a good person and wouldn't cause unnecessary trouble for himself.
Fang Shu was shocked. Only now did he realize that Qin Fen was also a Formation Master.
"Senior Qin, there's something I'd like to discuss with you in private. I'm sure you'll be interested," Hongchen Wu said.
After Fang Shu came back to his senses, he was about to leave when Qin Fen stopped him. "Just say what you want. There are no outsiders here."
Hongchen Wu immediately said, "Senior Qin, you should have heard of the Ice Heart Flame, right?"
Qin Fen's expression changed drastically. Fang Shu cried out in surprise, "The Heavenly Fire Ice Heart Flame that's ranked 20th on the Divine Continent?"
Hongchen Wu nodded and said, "Yes, the Heavenly Fire Ice Heart Flame. As far as I know, the Ice Heart Flame is hidden in the ninth layer of the Nine Heavens Snow Domain."
When Qin Fen found the Twin Snow Spiritual Lotuses, he suspected that there was a Heavenly Fire in the Nine Heavens Snow Domain. Now that Hongchen Wu revealed this secret, his heart began to stir.
Fang Shu had calmed down by now. He showed a doubtful expression. "As a cultivator of Snow Domain City, why haven't I heard of the Ice Heart Flame hidden in the Nine Heavens Snow Domain?"
Qin Fen immediately looked at Hongchen Wu with killing intent in his eyes. If this woman dared to play tricks, he would not show mercy to her.
"Senior Qin, please listen to my explanation. Forget about the cultivators of Snow Domain City, even the Castellan of Snow Domain City doesn't know about this. Otherwise, the Ice Heart Flame would have been taken away by others …" Hongchen Wu said anxiously.
"Then where did you get this information?" Qin Fen raised his brows.
"This is our Black Demon Clan's secret. Only the direct descendants of the clan know about it."
Fang Shu was shocked. "Black Demon Clan? You're a cultivator of Demon City? That's not right. How did you sneak in? "
Qin Fen had a general understanding of the division of the West Sea Continent. There were four regions here, and Demon City was one of them. It was the holy land of the Demon Clan. The Nine Heavens Snow Domain was only open to human cultivators of Snow Domain City. Cultivators of the other three regions were not allowed to enter.
After revealing her identity, Hongchen Wu no longer had any concerns. She quickly said, "I am indeed a disciple of Demon City's Black Demon Clan, and I have the orthodox bloodline. As for how I was able to enter the Nine Heavens Snow Domain, I used some tricks. That's not important. What's important is that there really is the Ice Heart Flame in this secret realm."
After knowing Hongchen Wu's identity, Fang Shu's attitude changed greatly. The doubt on his face disappeared. He looked at Hongchen Wu with slight surprise and said, "Rumor has it that Demon City's Black Demon Clan's Old Demon King tamed an Ice Heart Flame. So it's true."
Hongchen Wu immediately said, "This is absolutely true. However, Old Demon King had a huge battle with a powerful human cultivator in Snow Domain City. In the end, both sides died. Old Demon King's Ice Heart Flame fell on that battlefield, and the battlefield was the Nine Heavens Snow Domain."
Fang Shu murmured, "It's said that Snow Domain City didn't have the Nine Heavens Snow Domain thousands of years ago. Later, for some unknown reason, an even worse Holy Glacial Land appeared. Later, cultivators came to explore, and the Nine Heavens Snow Domain was created …"
Qin Fen heard the deeper meaning in Fang Shu's words. He added, "Are you trying to say that the Nine Heavens Snow Domain's environment is even colder and worse because of the Ice Heart Flame?"
Fang Shu nodded. "Senior Qin, I think it's very likely."
"It's not just likely, it's the truth!" Hongchen Wu had a determined look.
Qin Fen was moved. For pill refiners and alchemists like him, having an Unusual Flame was very important. Plus, the Ice Heart Flame was a yin fire. Qin Fen didn't have this kind of flame yet.
"I can find the entrance to the higher levels of the Snow Domain as soon as possible, but we're facing a huge problem. The higher the level, the colder and worse the environment. I'm afraid we'll freeze to death before we reach the ninth level."
"Senior Qin is right. The Nine Heavens Snow Domain has existed for thousands of years. I heard that only a few people have been able to enter the ninth level. Even many Body Condensation Stage cultivators have stopped at the fifth level. As for the sixth level, who knows how many Body Condensation Stage cultivators and even Disaster Transformation Stage cultivators have frozen to death. With our cultivation, going to the ninth level is a pipe dream."
