Heart of Ice and Fire? That's it?
It sounded very powerful, but no matter how Miao Yi looked at it, it looked like a combination of ice flames and ice spirits. He raised his brows, "That simple?"
"Simple?" Ling Lan smiled faintly, "It looks simple, but it's not as simple as you think. This object was refined by Master using a large amount of ice flames and ice spirits. Its hardness is no less than an artifact forged from red crystals. Of course, if someone with a high cultivation base uses their transcendence energy to drill a hole, it might not be impossible. But if they do so, the object will shatter and not be considered a success. If you burn it with fire for a long time, you can also refine it. However, there are restrictions. It can only be drilled within half an hour. Exceeding that time is considered a failure. Does Esteemed Guest still think it's easy? "
Miao Yi almost laughed out loud. It really was a combination of ice flames and ice spirits. He smiled faintly, "If that's the case, then I really have to try."
Ling Lan didn't say anything else. The Heart of Ice and Fire in her palm slowly floated up to Miao Yi.
Miao Yi swept it into his hand. It was bone-piercingly cold. White frost instantly spread from his fingers to his arms, quickly freezing his entire body. It was so stimulating that even his soul was trembling. He was shocked. He didn't expect such a cold object to exist in this world. The strangest thing was that the terrifying chill could actually be sealed within the bead. If he hadn't touched it, he wouldn't have known that the chill contained within could be so terrifying. He hurriedly used the Fiery Star Technique to resist the chill that could freeze his soul.
The white frost that had spread to his shoulders quickly subsided. His arms could move freely again. He held the bead in his hand and turned it around to look at it.
On the other hand, when Ling Lan saw that he wasn't affected by the Heart of Ice and Fire, a trace of astonishment flashed through her eyes. But when she thought about how he could traverse the Ancient Ice Plains, she calmed down and looked like she was waiting to see.
Miao Yi flipped his palm, and a half-burnt Gold Blaze Resin appeared in his hand. With a hum, it ignited into a suppressed golden flame. The golden flame grew smaller and smaller until it was like an embroidery needle, shining brilliantly.
Under Miao Yi's control, the fire needle, which was concentrated with the power of fire, began to spin rapidly. The tip of the needle pierced through the Heart of Ice and Fire.
At the side, Charcoal swayed its head and watched the commotion. It wanted to interrupt a few times, but Miao Yi glared at it and forced it back down. It could only continue to be an idiot who couldn't speak. Naturally, he widened his eyes in curiosity.
Miao Yi gave it a try, but he was shocked. He used the Golden Blaze Diamond to drill with all his might, but he actually couldn't leave a single mark on the Heart of Ice and Fire. It was indeed extremely hard, but that was only one aspect. What was even more unusual was that the Yin Flame within the Heart of Ice and Fire was actually automatically counteracting the high temperature of the Golden Blaze Diamond. There was a hint of Yin and Yang restraining each other. If one were to use Yin Fire to attack it, it might even merge with it, making it even more impossible to penetrate it.
Therefore, it was impossible to use the power of the golden flames to pierce through it in half a quarter of an hour, unless one used the power of fire to refine it for a long time. Even so, it would take at least a few days to melt the Heart of Ice and Fire.
With a clench of his palm, he extinguished the fire on the Gold Blaze Resin and put it away. Once again, he took out the 'Heart of Ice and Fire' and examined it repeatedly.
Ling Lan seemed to have expected this. She smiled and said, "There isn't much time left. If you can't do it, don't force yourself."
Miao Yi shot a glance at her. How could he say he couldn't do it until the very end? The reason why he didn't use the Heart Flame in the beginning was because he didn't want to carelessly expose his cultivation method. Secondly, he wanted to test if this' Heart of Ice and Fire 'was really as miraculous as the other party said.
At this moment, he pinched the 'Heart of Ice and Fire' bead between his two fingers. Between his index finger and thumb, a Heart Flame Drill Needle secretly appeared on the surface of the 'Heart of Ice and Fire'.
He didn't know if the Heart Flame would have any effect on this thing, so he was just trying it out. In the end, after trying it out a little, even though there wasn't any reaction on his face, he was smiling in his heart.
It worked! His Fiery Star Technique could balance the flames of Yin and Yang at the same time. At this moment, the two Heart Flame Needles had successfully suppressed the Yin Fire within the 'Heart of Ice and Fire'. Almost effortlessly, they drilled into the 'Heart of Ice and Fire'.
Because the 'Heart of Ice and Fire' was transparent, the effects could be seen from the outside. Ling Lan's eyes widened. She watched helplessly as the 'Heart of Ice and Fire' between Miao Yi's two fingers showed signs of being hollow at both ends, and was closing up towards the center. Ling Lan's calm eyes widened even more.
Very quickly, the two elongated bubbles within the 'Heart of Ice and Fire' finally came together, and connected through.
Miao Yi stopped his cultivation, and turned his fingers to another angle to pinch it. He looked at the hole on the 'Heart of Ice and Fire' that had already been connected. After confirming that there were no problems, he tossed it back. "Miss Ling, take a look and see if I've passed."
Ling Lan caught it, and quickly turned it over and over to examine it. Her hands gradually began to tremble. She, who was usually calm and collected, looked at Miao Yi as though she had seen a ghost. There was also an indescribable excitement and agitation.
"Could it be that I punched the hole in the wrong place? Or are you going back on your word? "Miao Yi asked calmly.
Unexpectedly, Ling Lan took two steps back, and without saying a word, she actually knelt down in front of Miao Yi. Her kneeling was resolute and sudden.
This was really too unexpected. It actually startled Miao Yi, and he subconsciously took a step back as well. 'What's going on?'
Charcoal tilted its head as it watched. Its eyes blinked, and its gaze was filled with surprise.
What was even more unexpected was that Ling Lan, who was staring at Miao Yi in a daze, actually began to sob. Tears welled up in her eyes, and turned into droplets that rolled down her cheeks.
The droplets that fell from her eyes were genuine tears. Like pearls falling onto a jade plate, they clanked as they rolled down to the ground. They were all ice beads.
Miao Yi was a little embarrassed by her actions. He had a soft side to him, so he coughed dryly and said, "You can't be blaming me for ruining your treasure, right? You have to understand that you were the one who let me try it out. It has nothing to do with me."
Ling Lan shook her head forcefully, and immediately kowtowed to Miao Yi. She kowtowed, and it was a loud kowtow. She kowtowed three times in a row, and then her forehead touched the ground, unable to get up. Prostrating on the ground, she sobbed, "I've waited. I've finally waited. Master, I've finally waited."
Miao Yi immediately had a suspicious look on his face. "What did you wait for?"
Ling Lan raised her head, and wiped away her tears. With a tearful smile, she said, "Your servant is happy that someone can finally punch a hole in the 'Heart of Ice and Fire' that Master left behind."
'Is this something to be happy about?' Miao Yi still had a suspicious look on his face. "But you don't have to kneel to me, do you?"
Ling Lan said, "That's because your servant has something to ask of you. I sincerely hope that you will agree."
Charcoal tilted his head, and looked at Miao Yi curiously.
"..." Miao Yi was speechless. He didn't know what he could help her with. His eyes darted around, and he had a guess of his own. He probed, "You want me to bring you out? I'm afraid that's not very appropriate. You're a member designated by the Heavenly Court to stay behind. If you run away, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble as well. "
Ling Lan shook her head forcefully. "That's not it. I want to ask Miao Yi to retrieve two items from the depths of the evil source, and then send them to the Dragon Flame Pool in the dragon cave. Please, Miao Yi."
The suspicion on Miao Yi's face was hard to dispel. "Dragon Flame Pool? Send what items to the Dragon Flame Pool? "
Ling Lan pleaded, "Your servant doesn't know either. It's Master's orders. Please agree, Miao Yi."
This put Miao Yi in a difficult position. He indeed wanted to go to the dragon cave. Otherwise, just retrieving the Fire of Righteous Yin wouldn't have much of an effect on his cultivation. But now wasn't the time either. He wanted to stay in the dragon cave and the phoenix nest for five hundred years each. He had just arrived at the phoenix nest, and now he wanted to go to the dragon cave. It went against his intentions. Besides, it was indeed a little dangerous along the way. There were people waiting outside the Ancient Ice Plains, and the Eternal Heaven Valley where the dragon cave was located was most likely there as well.
But if he rejected them, it would be difficult for him to cultivate in this place. Those Ice Flame Phoenixes and Ice Spirits would definitely come to disturb him.
He was in a dilemma for a while, and finally asked, "Why must I send them? Can't you do it yourself?"
Ling Lan shook her head. "I can't leave the basin where the phoenix nest is located. The Heavenly Court has placed a restriction on me. The moment I leave this place, I'll be discovered by the Heavenly Court. Besides, even if I can leave, without the geographical advantage of the Ancient Ice Plains, my strength won't amount to much in the Primordial Era. I can't guarantee that I can reach the Eternal Heaven Valley smoothly. And I can't entrust such an important task to the Evil Spirits outside. If anything goes wrong, I won't be able to bear the consequences. Most importantly, even if someone from the Primordial Era can reach the Eternal Heaven Valley, they won't be able to break through the dragon cave's outer defenses. I can't, and neither can the Evil Spirits. But Mister has the ability to do so. "
Miao Yi could tell that this task must have been hidden from the Heavenly Court. Otherwise, why didn't the dragons and phoenixes return to exterminate the Evil Spirits? Why did they have to do it now? He couldn't help but furrow his brows. "I'm afraid you don't want the Heavenly Court to know about this. Since you don't dare to entrust it to the Evil Spirits, aren't you afraid that I'll leak the secret to the Heavenly Court?"
Ling Lan shook her head again. "Master has told me that the person who can solve the Heart of Ice and Fire will never leak the secret to the Heavenly Court. You can rest assured and entrust this task to him."
'Damn it! Does your master know how to calculate? ' Miao Yi muttered to himself. He was puzzled. He didn't believe that the Phoenix Clan, who were slaves to the Heavenly Court, could guess that he would come here many years ago. After all, his ancestors hadn't even been born back then!
But the key point was that the Phoenix Clan really did predict his arrival. He definitely wouldn't leak the secret to the Heavenly Court.
