Ling Lan didn't understand what was going on with Miao Yi either. She watched as Miao Yi ran out of the cave of death aura and went through the other caves one by one. This time, it took him a long time to do so.
When he was done inspecting the four caves again, Miao Yi stared at the four ice couches thoughtfully.
Nothing! Other than the first cave with murderous aura that contained two stone eggs, there was nothing in the other three caves. If he wasn't wrong, the so-called two items should be the two stone eggs in the cave with murderous aura.
Seeing that he was silent, Ling Lan walked up and asked, "Mister, did you find them?"
Miao Yi slowly turned to look at her and asked again, "Are you sure your master said the two items were hidden in the two caves?"
'The same thing again?' Ling Lan was taken aback. She reassured him again, "Mister, Master really said that. Master wouldn't lie to me. Did you find them?"
'It'd be weird if he didn't lie to you!' Miao Yi thought it was funny. He felt like he was being played.
But then again, he couldn't really say that it was a lie. If he wasn't wrong, the person who gave Ling Lan the mission was just trying to cover it up and mislead her. At the very least, it would take them a while to search for it, but at the very least, it was very likely that they would miss it. If they did not receive Ling Lan's precise instructions that there were only two, they might really miss out on the second one.
If he hadn't coincidentally chosen the deep hole with the stone egg the first time and coincidentally ran to the finish line to check the situation, he would have run to other holes to search. Under normal circumstances, he really wouldn't have found the second thing in such a short period of time.
Miao Yi was curious about the two stone eggs. What was so special about them that they were worth so much effort? After a moment of silence, he said, "I found it."
Ling Lan immediately thanked him happily. Miao Yi flipped his hand and took out a black stone egg. "Do you know what this is?"
Ling Lan was confused. "I don't know. Did Mister find it in the cave?"
It was fine if she didn't know. He didn't know if she really didn't know or if she was just pretending. If she was pretending to not know, then she could continue pretending. If she really didn't know, then there was no need for Miao Yi to worry about it since her master was intentionally hiding it from her.
"Mister! What are the stones on the ground used for? "Ling Lan pointed at the pile of stones that had been blown up from the cave.
Miao Yi shook his head. "It's useless. Clean it up. "
It was easy for Ling Lan to clean up. With a flick of her sleeve, ripples appeared on the surface of the ice, and the messy black gravel immediately sank into the water. After disappearing, the ice surface returned to normal.
Miao Yi didn't care. With a wave of his hand, he released Charcoal, then gestured to the Evil Source with his head.
Charcoal let out a loud sneeze, then leaped up and lay flat on one of the evil source's openings. Take a deep breath.
The Forest of Gloom and Hui Da were also released. When they saw the Evil Source, their eyes lit up. The Forest of Shadows said emotionally: "Sir, could this be the source of evil?"
Miao Yi nodded, "That's right. I promised you that I would bring you here. At least I didn't break my promise."
"Thank you, my lord!" You Lin cupped his hands and bowed, his expression excited.
Huan Da was naturally excited. He looked around and said, "This is the Phoenix Nest?"
"The two of them are Evil Spirits?" Ling Lan suddenly shouted, her expression turning stern. "Sir, how could you bring an evil spirit into the Phoenix Nest?"
Seeing the Evil Source, the Forest of Shadows and Hui Da were a little too excited. Only then did they turn their attention to Ling Lan. They were a little bewildered.
Miao Yi suddenly flicked his finger. A Heart Flame Sword shot into Hui Da's back. Hui Da, whose cultivation was restricted, couldn't even react in time.
"You …" Hui Da turned his head, his face full of disbelief. Then, his expression twisted, "Ah …" He let out a shrill scream and rolled on the ground. The smoke emitted from his body was swept away by the whirlwind. The blood-curdling scream reverberated in the underground palace.
Charcoal glanced. He flicked his tail disapprovingly.
Ling Lan, who was questioning him just now, was stunned. She was also a little shocked by Hui Da's miserable state.
The Forest of Shadows was shocked. The words' burn the bridge after crossing the river 'quickly flashed through her mind. She looked at Miao Yi in horror as he slowly retreated.
Miao Yi tilted his head and looked at her. He said indifferently, "I didn't promise him anything. You are different. I promised you that from today onwards, this Evil Source of Resentment will temporarily belong to you. But you have to abide by our promise. If I leave, you have to follow me. The Phoenix Nest is not a place for you to stay for long. "
The Forest of Shadows nodded with lingering fear.
Miao Yi then said to Ling Lan, "Don't worry. She won't stay in the Phoenix Nest forever. When I leave, I will take her with me. This is what I promised her. So, without my permission, you are not allowed to touch her. Otherwise, I might not be able to keep my promise. Let's go. Take me to the Phoenix Nest for a tour. "
Ling Lan frowned. She didn't agree or refuse immediately. She lowered her head and followed Miao Yi.
Hui Da's shrill scream had yet to stop. Forest of Shadows could only watch helplessly. Charcoal closed his eyes and dozed off as if it had nothing to do with him. He breathed comfortably.
From the bottom to the top of the Phoenix Nest, there were many nests scattered around. Each of them had a separate entrance to the outside world. The shape and layout of each nest were different. According to Ling Lan, these nests had maintained the same appearance as the nests of every member of the Phoenix Clan. The only thing they had in common was that evil aura flowed through each nest.
Miao Yi and Ling Lan stood at the top of the Phoenix Nest. Looking at the chimney-like roof that was emitting evil energy, Miao Yi sighed, "This is the source of the Evil Spirits in the Desolate Lands of the Dead."
Ling Lan said, "When the Phoenix Clan was still around, the Phoenix Clan would filter and absorb the evil energy, so the evil energy emitted was very faint. Now that the Phoenix Clan is no longer around, it has become like this, resulting in the Evil Spirits growing in the Desolate Lands of the Dead."
This wasn't something he could control. Miao Yi turned around and surveyed his surroundings, surveying the entire Ice Plains Basin. He took out Xing Ling, Yun Zhiqiu, and the others to report that he was safe.
After contacting Yang Qing, Yang Qing couldn't help but ask about the current situation. Miao Yi still held back, only saying that he had done as Yang Qing said, hiding the truth from him.
Night fell, and the icy flames flowed. The entire Phoenix Nest glowed with a dreamy brilliance.
At the entrance of the Phoenix Nest Grand Hall, Ling Lan summoned the Ice Spirit to speak with her. Then, she floated up and landed at the top of the Phoenix Nest.
Miao Yi stood in the cold wind with his hands behind his back. He hadn't taken off his armor. Ling Lan walked up to him and said, "Mister, I've asked. The person you mentioned isn't dead. He escaped from the Ancient Ice Plains."
'Yu Sha isn't dead? ' Miao Yi frowned. The thing he was most worried about had still happened.
Without saying much, he turned around and descended to the underground palace. He found the Forest of Umbra and asked, "When that Yu Sha appeared, you seemed to be very afraid of him. Is he very famous in the Primordial Wastelands?"
The Forest of Umbra replied respectfully, "Yu Sha is the number one expert among the Evil Spirits after the Primordial Wastelands was sealed off by the Heavenly Court. His methods are cruel, and countless people have died by his hands. He disappeared the first time the Heavenly Court tried to exterminate him. Everyone thought that he had already died at the hands of the Heavenly Court. Who would've thought that he had actually hidden himself until now and is still alive? He actually managed to escape two waves of extermination from the Heavenly Court. When I found out that the person who showed up was him, I was truly shocked."
To the Forest of Umbra, Yu Sha was a legendary figure from a distant era. What she knew about him was only what she had heard. She didn't know anything else.
Yu Sha had managed to escape. This wasn't something Miao Yi could do anything about. He could only hope that they wouldn't meet again. Otherwise, there was no way Yu Sha would let him go. After exiting the underground palace, he left the phoenix nest alone.
In reality, when he arrived at the phoenix nest, he realized that it was very clean. The evil aura wouldn't drift around randomly, and the Yin Fire element wouldn't spread out randomly either. It wasn't beneficial for his cultivation.
Arriving at the edge of the basin, he stepped on the steep cliff as if he was vaulting over the walls. He quickly climbed up the ice cliff and headed towards the depths of the ice valley.
As soon as he appeared, he attracted the attention of a group of Ice Spirits. He took out the Heart of Ice and Fire, and the dazzling blue phoenix circled around his body under the night sky. The Ice Spirits immediately retreated respectfully and quietly hid within the surrounding ice and snow, not daring to disturb him in the slightest.
After testing it out and confirming that the Heart of Ice and Fire was indeed effective, Miao Yi found a hole in the ice and threw a cushion inside. He then sat down cross-legged and started to count the items he had obtained from Yu Sha and the three Lotus Transformation experts. In the end, he smiled knowingly — he was rich!
To other Evil Spirits, things like battle armors might be very rare. However, these four old men had accumulated a lot of them, and who knew how many years they had been accumulating them. Just the various types of Red Crystal Battle Armors alone numbered no less than a hundred thousand. As for Amethyst Battle Armors and Gold Crystal Battle Armors, they were even more numerous. Furthermore, most of them weren't the standard battle armors of the Celestial Court. Miao Yi couldn't even be bothered to count them all.
After entering the Desolate Ancient Dead Lands, he could see fossil-like skeletons everywhere. In addition to these pieces of equipment, Miao Yi could imagine how many cultivators had entered the Desolate Ancient Dead Lands in the long years before it was sealed off by the Celestial Court.
Even when he used his transcendence energy to count the crystal coins he had obtained from the four old men's belongings, he still couldn't count them all. It was an astronomical figure. Just the Red Crystals alone were easily measured in the trillions. It was an unbelievably large sum of money.
'Mm! ' There were also quite a number of spiritual beads of all kinds and grades. There were hundreds of thousands of them.
In short, there were quite a lot of miscellaneous items. This was the most bountiful harvest Miao Yi had ever obtained since he stepped foot into the cultivation realm.
The four old men probably had so much wealth because they had been robbing others for many years. The reason they could accumulate so much was probably because the Evil Spirits were trapped in the Desolate Ancient Dead Lands and had nowhere to spend their wealth. No matter how large their wealth was, it was still nothing.
Speaking of which, Miao Yi had to thank Yu Sha and the other three for being able to escape the Celestial Court's purges for so many years.
However, he also felt that something was amiss. Why wasn't there a single decent transcendent artifact among all these treasures? It couldn't be that the cultivators of the ancient era didn't use transcendent artifacts, right?
Miao Yi couldn't be bothered to think about things that he couldn't figure out for the time being. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to enjoy a few hundred years of peace. It wasn't easy for him to get here, so he should prioritize his cultivation.
After calming himself down, a large amount of Basic Immortal Pills erupted with dense spiritual energy. As he circulated the Fiery Star Technique to absorb the energy, the Yin fire element in his surroundings also surged towards him. He absorbed the spiritual energy into his body and channeled it into his art source.
PS: I'm too tired today and can't open my eyes. I'll leave it at that for now. I'll make up for it tomorrow!
