"This …" This time, Miao Yi was truly shocked. If this Heart of Ice and Fire really had such a miraculous effect, then it would truly be beneficial to his cultivation in the Ancient Ice Plains. But the key point was, how did the Phoenix clan that had captured him as a slave know of this? Could it be that the Phoenix clan knew that the person who could dispel the Heart of Ice and Fire was someone who cultivated the Fiery Star Technique? Also, what's with the friendship between the previous two generations? Since when did he have any friendship with the Phoenix Clan?
This matter touched upon a matter that he had suspected for many years. Because of this, he had even wanted to re-enter the Boundless Secular World to find the answer back then. In an instant, hundreds and thousands of thoughts ran through his mind, and he immediately asked, "What do you mean by the friendship between the two generations?"
Charcoal's eyes darted around. He looked at the kneeling Ling Lan, then looked at the bewildered Miao Yi.
Ling Lan paused for a moment before replying, "I don't know either. Those were Master's exact words."
Miao Yi's heart was clouded with doubts, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He felt that every time he was about to touch upon the truth, he would never be able to remove that final veil and confirm his own conjecture. If he didn't confirm the answer that made him shudder with fear, he would never dare to believe it.
"Do you really not know, or are you intentionally hiding it?" Miao Yi pressed.
Ling Lan shook her head. "I really don't know."
Miao Yi fell silent. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Get up. I will think about this matter some more."
Ling Lan only knew how to shake her head. "If Mister doesn't agree, then this servant won't get up … I beg Mister to agree, I beg Mister to agree. Ling Lan begs Mister …" After saying that, she kept kowtowing.
Miao Yi never thought that he would encounter such a situation after risking his life to come here. Feeling a little frustrated, he stopped her and said, "Alright, stop kowtowing. It's not that I can't agree to your request, but I have to say something upfront. I won't be leaving immediately. I can make a trip to the dragon's den, but not now. "
Ling Lan's face was filled with joy. She nodded repeatedly and said, "As long as Mister agrees, it's fine. As long as Mister can deliver the items to the Dragon Flame Pond before you leave, that will be enough. I don't dare to set a time limit for you. "
Miao Yi replied, "I'm a guest. You're half the owner of this place. If you keep kneeling like this, how am I supposed to talk to you?"
Ling Lan hurriedly got up. She held the Heart of Ice and Fire in her palms and presented it to Miao Yi, asking him to accept it.
Miao Yi took the Heart of Ice and Fire from her palm and examined it again. He asked in confusion, "This item can command the Phoenix Soul and Ice Spirit of the Ancient Ice Plains?"
Ling Lan said, "At least this thing is in your hands. The phoenix souls and ice spirits of the Ancient Ice Plains won't dare to offend you. If you feel offended, you can inject your magical power into the hole you just made … "
After a series of instructions. Miao Yi understood. He followed the instructions and tried to infuse his transcendence energy into it.
The pearl that was originally dazzling and resplendent suddenly emitted a blue brilliance, and then the brilliance twisted before curling up and spiraling. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a lifelike blue phoenix. Its posture was graceful, lifelike, intelligent, noble, and filled with vigor. Circling around him, spreading its wings and soaring.
Charcoal's eyes widened as he watched. Ling Lan revealed a respectful and solemn expression.
Miao Yi turned his head left and right to observe for a while. He controlled the transcendence energy of the Heart of Ice and Fire and dispelled it. The blue phoenix slowly turned into a wisp of light and entered the hole on the Heart of Ice and Fire. Only the pearl remained in Miao Yi's palm, dazzling.
After a moment of hesitation, Miao Yi fiddled with the pearl and asked, "You're giving it to me now. Aren't you afraid that I'll go back on my words later?"
"You won't." Ling Lan shook her head. "Master said that Miao Yi's lineage is extremely cautious in choosing disciples. It's better to have nothing than to have something shoddy. The disciples are all carefully selected after going through trials. Without going through numerous trials, it's impossible for them to come to the phoenix nest. They won't go back on their word once they've agreed to something of great importance. "
"..." Miao Yi was speechless. Trials? What trials? He only had himself to blame for coming here. It was his own fault. Besides, who was testing him? Why would there be so many tests?
He felt that there might have been a mistake with the phoenix nest. In reality, the doubts in his heart were always the same. He always felt that he had grasped onto something. But in reality, it seemed like there was a mistake as well. He couldn't make up his mind. There were some things that seemed to be very close to him, and he refused to completely lift the veil of mystery.
After being speechless for a while, Miao Yi sighed. "What else did your master say to you? You might as well say it all at once."
Ling Lan shook her head. "Nothing else. That's all."
Miao Yi was speechless. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Since you trust me so much, can you tell me what you want me to send to the Dragon Flame Pool now?"
Ling Lan shook her head gently and quietly. "I really don't know. Master only mentioned that the person who obtained the Heart of Ice and Fire could use it to enter the evil source to find the item. I don't know what it is exactly."
Miao Yi rolled his eyes. "Didn't you say that's all your master said? Why is there a need to use the Heart of Ice and Fire to enter the evil source? How many more things are you hiding? If there is, then tell me quickly. Don't keep telling me everything. "
Ling Lan was a little embarrassed as she said, "Master said that things can only be done step by step. Only the person who obtained the Heart of Ice and Fire can tell him these things. This is really all I know. I really don't know anything else."
"Do you know about the Dragon Flame Pool? What's going on with the Dragon Flame Pool? "
"I don't know. I've never been to the dragon's cave. I'm just passing on Master's words."
"..." Miao Yi stared at her blankly for a while, then asked in disbelief, "You don't even know why you want me to send the item to the Dragon Flame Pool, and you want me to send it? I have to know what you want me to do, right? Otherwise, what do you want me to do with the item? Throw it away or smash it? "
Ling Lan was a little anxious. She could tell that he rarely interacted with others. She quickly waved her hands and said, "I'm not lying to you. I really don't know. Master only told me this. He didn't tell me what to do after sending the item to the Dragon Flame Pool. However, there must be a reason why he didn't tell me. There must be a reason why he made such an arrangement. I'm sure you'll understand once you get there. "
"I've really seen a ghost." Miao Yi chuckled at her. However, when he thought about it, he realized that it might be as she said. Perhaps the owner of the phoenix nest made such an arrangement because it was an important matter, and it was inconvenient to leak the secret before it was accomplished. He then waved his hand and said, "I'd like to see what exactly you want me to send. Come, bring me to the Evil Origin."
"Mister, please follow me." Ling Lan hurriedly led the way. However, after a few steps, she noticed that Charcoal was also following behind them. She couldn't help but stop and asked hesitantly, "Mister, shouldn't you leave your mount outside for now?"
"It's fine." Miao Yi turned around and warned Charcoal, "Don't speak carelessly about what you saw and heard today."
Charcoal immediately promised, "Don't worry. I won't speak carelessly even if you beat me to death."
When Charcoal spoke, Ling Lan was a little flustered. She didn't expect Charcoal to be able to understand and speak. "Mister, Master has instructed me not to reveal this matter to anyone else."
Charcoal sneezed twice, seeming to be in a bad mood.
Miao Yi said, "Don't worry. He won't reveal it to anyone else. Let's go!"
Ling Lan was helpless, but she couldn't force Miao Yi either. She could only continue leading the way, but she couldn't help turning back to look at Charcoal every few steps. She was going against her Master's instructions, and seemed to be very doubtful.
On both sides of the main hall, there was a semi-circular ice staircase, with a large door in the middle. After entering, there was a winding ice staircase, but they didn't go up. Ling Lan waved her sleeves, and the layer of ice on the empty ground beside the ice staircase melted, spreading to both sides, revealing another ice staircase leading downwards. If Ling Lan hadn't led the way, they wouldn't have known that there was another passageway below.
As they walked down the ice staircase, ice flames would occasionally appear on the ice walls, illuminating the path downwards.
After descending for about a thousand zhang, they arrived at the bottom of the icy plains and arrived at a platform. The path ahead was sealed off by an ice wall, and Ling Lan waved her sleeves again to open it.
The light on the ice wall flickered and faded away, revealing the stairs leading upwards. It wasn't very high, and after ascending the stairs for about ten zhang, they found themselves in a vast underground palace.
Not to mention the intricate phoenix carvings on the surrounding walls, there were four massive ice couches with phoenix designs arranged in a circle in the center of the palace. Four-colored demonic aura was emitting from the couches, whistling loudly as it rose up like a tornado, crashing against the dome ceiling that was a thousand zhang tall, and drilling into the numerous holes on the dome ceiling.
Walking up to the ice couches, Miao Yi realized that there was a hole in the middle of the ice couches, and the demonic aura was coming from it.
Charcoal's eyes lit up as he looked at it, and he stuck his tongue out to swipe at the corner of his mouth.
Miao Yi circled around to examine it, but aside from the dense demonic aura, he didn't find anything special. He pointed to the place where the demonic aura was coming from, and asked, "This is the source of the demonic aura?"
"Yes!" Ling Lan nodded.
Miao Yi continued to ask, "Shall we drill down here to retrieve the item?"
"Yes!" Ling Lan nodded again.
Miao Yi furrowed his brows, "He wants me to retrieve two items, but there are four holes here. In other words, the item is only in two of the holes. Do you know which two of the holes are hiding the item?"
Ling Lan shook her head, "I don't know. You'll have to go down and search for it yourself, Miao Yi."
Miao Yi narrowed his eyes, "You want me to go down and search one hole at a time? Are you sure your Master didn't leave you any other instructions? "
Ling Lan was obviously a little embarrassed, and weakly said, "Master said that if we come to the end of the void, we must not proceed any further. Once we step into the void, there is a possibility that we will appear somewhere else in the Primordial Era, and we will have to make another trip …" Before she could finish, she noticed that Miao Yi was looking at her with a strange gaze, so she hurriedly waved her hand and added, "This is really the last instruction. Master said that he would tell you everything step by step. If you are unwilling to help, then there is no need to tell you anything else. I really don't know anything else."
Miao Yi looked at her coldly, as though saying, 'Can your words still be trusted?'
Ling Lan lowered her head, and weakly said, "There really is no other instruction …" Her voice grew softer and softer.
