There was not much time. The Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise would return in a few moments, so there was no time for the two of them to hesitate.
Plop.
Mo Wen jumped directly into the Xuan Ming Frozen Water. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the surface of the water, quickly diving into the depths.
The Xuan Ming Frozen Water was indeed very cold. The moment he entered the water, he immediately felt a piercing pain. The extreme cold caused a prickling sensation on the skin. If it was an ordinary person, they would most likely have immediately hardened and become an ice sculpture.
However, Mo Wen had the Spiritless Clean Fire to protect him, so he was not afraid. The formless flame circulated in his body, and all the coldness was instantly dispelled. It could no longer hurt Mo Wen.
The Spiritless Clean Fire was an ancient great magical power. It was Ji Wuya's ultimate technique, so it was naturally not simple. Although Mo Wen had not successfully cultivated it, just a little spark was enough to dispel the coldness of the Xuan Ming Frozen Water.
Yin Banshuang was not so lucky. After jumping in with Mo Wen, she immediately shivered from the cold. All the muscles in her body tightened, and the surface of her skin emitted waves of pain that continuously stimulated her brain.
She felt that she was like a piece of water placed in a freezer, slowly stiffening and turning into ice …
Although she had Golden Elixir realm cultivation, in such cold water, she could not be of much use at all.
Both of them knew that they could not stay in the Xuan Ming Frozen Water for long. The coldness of the water was not something they could handle. If the Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise returned and the two of them were still trapped in the Xuan Ming Frozen Water, it would definitely discover them.
Whoosh whoosh!
The two of them swam down frantically. However, not only was the Xuan Ming Frozen Water cold, but it was also very heavy. It was as though they were swimming in mercury, and their speed was greatly affected.
After three minutes, the two of them had yet to swim out of the Xuan Ming Frozen Water area.
"Are you alright?"
Mo Wen suddenly turned his head and realized that Yin Banshuang's speed was getting slower and slower. She was also getting further and further away from him. If this continued, she would not be able to keep up at all.
"I'm alright."
Yin Banshuang gritted her teeth and swam down frantically. However, her current condition was clearly not very good. Not only were her lips pale, but her breathing was also getting weaker. Even from afar, one could see that her body was constantly trembling.
Mo Wen frowned. The Xuan Ming Frozen Water was too cold. This woman might not be able to handle it. With her cultivation, she might be able to charge out of the Xuan Ming Frozen Water Region in the end, but at that time, she would definitely be tormented to the point where she would only have half her life left.
From Yin Banshuang's words, it seemed that obtaining the Origin Qi was not an easy task. It required the two of them to work together. If Yin Banshuang was too heavily affected at this time, then they would undoubtedly lack a powerful helper for the rest of the journey.
Also, she had to swim out of the Xuan Ming Frozen Water before the Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise returned.
After a short while, Mo Wen turned around and quickly swam to Yin Banshuang's side. He grabbed her shoulder and swam down ferociously.
"s," Mo "Ming For Demon," Ming "., Ming, Mo, he,", "Feng of Ming. of, of!!
Ming Yang, the water, "Ming," Of Ming, ", he, he, he Even of Yang of Demon, of of Ming,", Ming Ming Feng of Even, of Ming, even of She of the water, and Yin, Ming., Mo of Mo, he., of Even she couldn't bear the cold, so why didn't this young man seem to be affected?
She could not figure it out. Even an intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner would not be able to swim through the Xuan Ming Frozen Water as easily as him, let alone a beginning stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner. He would not be able to take care of himself, but he certainly would not be able to take care of others.
However, Yin Banshuang was still grateful that Mo Wen had returned to bring her along. At this moment, she indeed needed help.
A warm feeling came from Mo Wen's hand and naturally flowed into Yin Banshuang's body. Her body, which was getting stiffer, began to soften after the warm feeling flowed in.
Although it was still very cold, it was not as cold as before.
"How did you do it?"
Yin Banshuang looked at Mo Wen in surprise. After her body had recovered a lot, she could already speak. She had not expected that Mo Wen would actually be able to help her get rid of the cold. What exactly was that warm feeling? It could actually have an effect in the Xuan Ming Frozen Water.
Even people who cultivated in fire techniques could freeze to death if they were immersed in the Xuan Ming Frozen Water. That was because ordinary flames would not be able to have much effect in the Xuan Ming Frozen Water. Any flame would be suppressed.
Unless it was a rare fire of heaven and earth like the spiritual fire, how could Mo Wen have a spiritual fire?
Mo Wen did not say anything. He only pulled Yin Banshuang along and continued to swim forward. After bringing Yin Banshuang along, it was a little strenuous for him. After all, his Spiritless Clean Fire was just a spark. If he wanted to maintain the circulation of the Spiritless Clean Fire, the consumption of his Inner Qi would be terrifying.
With Mo Wen's help, the two of them were very fast. After a while, they finally passed through the Xuan Ming Frozen Water area. With a splash, they emerged from the water.
…
Mo Wen and Yin Banshuang did not know that they had just jumped into the Xuan Ming Frozen Water when another silhouette appeared silently at the entrance of the catacombs.
It was a woman in blue clothes. She had a graceful figure and a beautiful appearance, and she emanated a fierce heroic and domineering aura.
She was none other than Jin Ying.
Before this, when they had parted, she had walked in the opposite direction from Mo Wen and Yin Banshuang. But now, she had also appeared here.
"That youth and that little girl are acting suspiciously. They must have a motive. I am very curious as to what they are after."
Jin Ying's lips curled up as she looked at the catacombs thoughtfully. There was a Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise guarding this catacombs. There must be some precious treasure inside. With her understanding of treasures, she could guess that there must be something incredible in this catacombs.
She had not expected that Mo Wen and Yin Banshuang would actually be able to find such a place. She recognized the Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise. It had a trace of the bloodline of the ancient mystical beast, the Xuan Ming Tortoise. Even though it only had a trace of the power of the Xuan Ming Tortoise, it was still very frightening.
Although the Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise only had later stage seventh rank cultivation, its combat ability was definitely not weaker than a pinnacle monstrous beast. Even human martial arts grandmasters would most likely not be able to do anything to it.
Mo Wen and Yin Banshuang were willing to provoke such a dangerous thing. It was obvious that there must be something worth taking such a risk for.
"Perhaps we will encounter something good."
Jin Ying looked at the catacombs and muttered to herself for a moment. She first furrowed her brows before relaxing them.
She no longer hesitated. With a splash, she jumped into the Xuan Ming Frozen Water. Even though the Xuan Ming Frozen Water was frightening, with her ability, it should not be a big problem for her to make it through.
On the other side, Mo Wen and Yin Banshuang jumped out of the cold water. The water droplets on their bodies fell to the ground, immediately forming a layer of ice crystals on the ground.
The ice crystals were not thick, but they were harder than steel.
Mo Wen took out a milky-white pill and stuffed it into his mouth. The inner Qi that he had used up a lot immediately recovered rapidly. In just a moment, his inner Qi had recovered a lot.
"Eat this."
Mo Wen threw a pill to Yin Banshuang. Her condition was much worse than his. Even though he had been the one handling the rest of the journey, in order to resist the cold Qi of the Xuan Ming Frozen Water, her inner Qi had been even more depleted.
Yin Banshuang took the pill. Just as she swallowed it, a strange look flashed in her eyes.
Originally, she had thought that it was just an ordinary healing pill. She did not expect that the pill could actually help an ancient martial art practitioner recover their inner Qi. Such a pill was very rare. Even ancient martial art practitioner sects did not have one. Even the Five Beasts Sect did not have many.
It was because even the Medical Sect could not concoct such a pill. It could only be exchanged for in the Huatian Palace.
Mo Wen actually had such a precious pill and was so generous to give her one.
With this pill, her inner Qi immediately recovered ten times faster than normal. In just a short while, she had recovered a lot. If the effects of the pill could last a little longer, even if it was only for half an hour, her inner Qi would be able to recover to its peak.
"Thank you."
Yin Banshuang rarely said thank you to others. However, Mo Wen had helped her once before. Now, he had given her such a precious pill. She had already owed him a favor.
"As long as I can find the Vital Qi, everything is worth it. I hope you did not lie to me," Mo Wen said plainly.
Mo Wen said nonchalantly. Compared to vital Qi, this was nothing. To him, a normal panacea was not even as valuable as ten spiritual stones.
The white pill was a type of supplementary pill that Mo Wen had concocted in the Intentionless Sect. It was called the Qi Gathering Pill. This type of pill had the effect of recovering an ancient martial art practitioner's inner Qi. Normally, immortal cultivators would not use such pills. However, it was very useful for ancient martial art practitioners.
Back then, Mo Wen had learned the method of concocting the Qi Gathering Pill because he was also an ancient martial art practitioner. Otherwise, ordinary immortal cultivators would not have learned how to concoct the Qi Gathering Pill.
The effect of the Qi Gathering Pill was not just to last half an hour. It could last for fifteen minutes. It was more than enough for Yin Banshuang to recover to her peak condition.
Rumble!
The cave shook violently. Large pieces of rocks fell from above, and the ground shook continuously.
"Not good. The Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise should be back. Let's go quickly."
Yin Banshuang's expression changed slightly. She could not care about recovering her inner Qi. With a flash, she flew into the depths of the cave.
When the two of them broke out of the water, there was only one passageway in front of them. The passageway led underground.
Mo Wen immediately followed. At the same time, he observed the surrounding environment.
The cave was very ordinary. He could not see anything special about it. The only sigh was that it was very big. It could accommodate a small mountain. No wonder the Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise could come and go freely inside.
The two of them flew deep into the cave. Very quickly, they appeared at the end of the cave. At the end was a very big and spacious space. There was nothing in the surroundings. There was only a pool in the center.
The pool was not big. It was only 50 feet in diameter. The water inside was very clear, like a transparent pearl.
"Jump in."
Yin Banshuang did not hesitate at all. With a leap, she jumped into the pool.
"Huh?"
Mo Wen looked at the pool in surprise. After Yin Banshuang jumped into the pool, she disappeared in the blink of an eye. She did not sink into the water. Instead, she disappeared directly. That was because there was at least a process of sinking into the water. However, Yin Banshuang did not even have the process of disappearing. (To be continued.)
