Meng Qi did not listen to what he said at all.
Anyway, no matter what he said, she treated it as a gust of wind and ran as fast as she could.
The Grand Fire Formation could not hold on for too long. The fierce flames behind her had actually started to dim.
However, Meng Qi had calculated the time. She could definitely rush out of this place covered by the poisonous miasma.
"Eh? Little girl, why are you running? I haven't finished speaking yet. "The voice sounded again.
Meng Qi ignored him. She was dashing forward quickly when her feet suddenly stopped and she stopped abruptly.
On the wooden bridge in front of her, green and lustrous vines drilled out in an instant. They grew almost crazily and formed a wall in the blink of an eye.
If Meng Qi did not stop, she would have been entangled by those vines. She might even be hanging on the wall now.
She exhaled. The strange person who spoke was definitely stronger than her.
She did not know how big the gap between them was. If they fought directly, she might not even be able to block one of his hands.
Meng Qi raised her head and looked at the green and lustrous vine wall.
The color of those vines was a little strange. The leaves were verdant and looked especially strange.
The wind and waves in the swamp were getting stronger and stronger. The sound of bubbles bursting could be heard one after another, forming a strange melody.
At this time, the sky was gloomy. Meng Qi was the only one in the huge swamp. Her slim figure seemed so small, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
There would be no one here to help her.
She must climb that Ten Extremes Mountain.
She must become stronger!
Meng Qi took a deep breath. She raised her hand and threw a handful of spirit herbs into the Five Spirit Cauldron.
She flicked her fingers, and seven to eight Rank-9 spirit stones were stuck on the Five Spirit Cauldron's belly.
Meng Qi held the medicine knife horizontally in her right hand. When the spirit herbs in the Five Spirit Cauldron were churning, she had already bent down and quickly drew a formation on the ground.
"Good!" That person laughed and said, "I want to see what a little girl like you can do."
The vines in front of Meng Qi grew taller and taller. In just a few breaths, it seemed to have grown to the sky.
The green leaves on top of it rustled, and countless small, willow-like things fluttered down.
The catkins fell to the ground and immediately broke out of the ground.
By the time the Meng Qi Array was completed, her surroundings seemed to have been completely invaded by the vines, and the ground was covered in greenery.
If it wasn't for the strange green color, it would have looked more vibrant than before.
Meng Qi took a deep breath and took out a handful of ninth-grade spirit stones from her storage pouch. With a wave of her hand, the spirit stones were embedded in the formation she had drawn.
With a light flick of her right hand, the Five Spirit Cauldron toppled over. The Spirit Herbs that she had thrown in earlier had already turned into Medicinal Qi and poured into the formation.
"Eh?" The strange man spoke again, his tone full of interest. "Little doll, that's a pretty good move."
Meng Qi ignored him.
She had learned the Array very early on, and it was also taught to her by Yun Qingyan. It could increase the medicinal properties of the herbs.
Meng Qi had used it before, but she had no money at that time, so she could only use ordinary spirit stones, and the power of the Array was limited.
Now, it was completely different from before. Once the Array was activated, the light wrapped in medicinal properties rushed towards the vines.
Medical cultivators must know how to use poison as well.
What Meng Qi was using now was to mix a few spirit herbs together and refine a medicine that could make most plants in the world wither quickly.
With the enhancement of the Array's effect, if it was effective …
Meng Qi held the medicine knife horizontally and took out a few more spirit stones with her left hand.
The Medicinal Qi had already rushed towards the vines in front of her. In an instant, the vines, which were still green just now, became withered and yellow where the Medicinal Qi touched them.
Not only did the vines become withered and yellow, but the leaves on them also began to wither and yellow.
The leaves quickly broke away from the vines and fluttered to the ground.
Meng Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Without waiting for the leaves to fall, she held the medicine knife horizontally and rushed forward.
Her medicine knife's attack power was limited, but at this time, the vines were already withered. When the medicine knife touched them, it immediately cut through the vines as if they were rotten wood.
The green figure rushed through the gap that was revealed after the vines were cut. In a moment, she rushed forward for a long distance and left the vines behind her.
The strange man laughed strangely again. "You run quite fast, and your little brain is also very smart. However, your use of the medicine knife is really not good. Little girl, don't go up the Ten Extremes Mountain. Stay and follow me. After ten years, you can go out. I guarantee that you will become a powerhouse who can sweep through a region. "
Meng Qi snorted softly, but her footsteps did not slow down at all.
Ten years?
Not to mention that she did not know who the person was and whether he was trustworthy, even if she could really go out after ten years, it would be too late by then.
She did not want to!
"How about it? Little girl, it's rare that I have the heart to cherish talent. How about you stay? " That person said again, his tone gentler than before, with a hint of coaxing. "If I pass on all my skills to you, you can sweep through a region with ease."
He muttered, and Meng Qi treated it as passing wind.
"Little girl." That person continued. "You are a medical cultivator, and you know formations, so your Five Spirit Cauldron was passed on to little girl Lin Yan, right? I'm not wrong about this, am I? "
When the two words "Lin Yan" entered her ears, Meng Qi slowed down for the first time.
"Heh heh heh." That person laughed proudly. "Lin Yan is a little girl. She has talent, but her temper is very stubborn."
Wait! He called Senior Lin Yan a little girl?
Meng Qi was only slow for a moment, but her footsteps sped up again.
If this person was not lying to her, then was he an ancient cultivator? Otherwise, why would he call Senior Lin Yan a little girl?
"Too stubborn, it's a good thing, but also not a good thing." That person didn't seem to care if Meng Qi was listening, and continued to speak. "Little girl, don't learn from her."
"Why is it not a good thing?" Meng Qi asked.
Seeing that she finally spoke, that person's tone clearly became excited. "Because it's easy to get into a dead end when you encounter a problem, and you might even lose yourself. Little girl, since you are her successor … … aiyo, that's not right! "
That person suddenly exclaimed. "Ten thousand years later, how did you get the inheritance from little girl Lin Yan? You inherited the Five Spirit Cauldron, then aren't you … … aiyo! This is a bit troublesome. "
He made a big fuss.
Meng Qi faintly guessed that this person might be a powerful ancient cultivator. Hearing his exclamation, she became alert again.
"Aiyo, little girl, when you enter Ten Extremes Mountain this time, do you know … … no! I can't say! I definitely can't say this. "
"Oh." Meng Qi casually responded.
After that person said that, he quieted down.
Although the situation in the swamp was still changing, Meng Qi had already passed through the place where the poisonous miasma was the thickest, and her heart calmed down a lot.
That person didn't speak, and she was happy to take the opportunity to run quickly.
"Little girl, aren't you curious? What is it that I can't say? "
"If I'm curious, will you tell me?" Meng Qi asked casually.
"Of course not. This is a big secret, and it's a big secret in Ten Extremes Mountain. I can't tell a little Nascent Soul cultivator like you." That person said.
"Then it's useless for me to be curious. I might as well not be curious." Meng Qi said.
"Little girl, you're quite interesting." He paused, and continued, "I kind of understand why Lin Yan gave you the Five Spirit Cauldron … … If you're in the same generation as her, you should be close friends."
"Thank you for your praise, senior. I don't deserve it." Meng Qi said.
"You called me senior … … Since you're already calling me senior, I can't let you suffer a loss." That person said.
Seeing that Meng Qi was casually chatting with him, she was already about to cross the wooden bridge.
She could even see the land on the other side of the swamp. As long as she stepped on it, she should have already passed a quarter of the test.
Although she didn't know how much time she spent, at least she shouldn't be the slowest.
As that person's voice fell, Meng Qi's eyes flashed. On both sides of the wooden bridge, large green leaves emerged from the surging swamp. Soon, flower buds emerged from the green leaves.
Just as Meng Qi took a breath, all kinds of lotus flowers bloomed.
The swamp that was covered with dark clouds and looked extremely treacherous earlier had already become a garden of lotus leaves.
On the wooden bridge in front of Meng Qi, a golden lotus flower broke through the ground.
The lotus flower was extremely exquisite and emitted a bright golden light.
"Little girl." That person said, "This is the Red Karmic Fire Lotus."
Meng Qi: "???"
She had read many books, including many medical and medicinal books passed down from ancient times. This was the first time she had heard the name "Red Karmic Fire Lotus".
"The Red Karmic Fire Lotus is a flame more powerful than your Li Fire Formation. Not only can it burn everything in the world, but it can also devour your Spiritual Sea and Divine Sense."
Meng Qi looked at the lotus flower quietly and didn't speak.
"If you want to leave here, you can only pick it." That person added, "Karmic Fire is more powerful than Li Fire. If you can pick it, you can integrate it into the Li Fire Formation of your Five Spirit Cauldron. In the future, when you refine pills, you will be even more powerful."
Meng Qi took a deep breath and didn't move.
"Of course, if you can't pick it, you may be directly devoured by it. Even your Divine Sense and Spiritual Sea will dissipate and you will completely die. It will be as if you never existed in this world. Do you dare to try? "That person asked.
Meng Qi looked at the Red Karmic Fire Lotus quietly and suddenly smiled. "Can I choose not to try?"
"Little girl, you have to have some adventurous spirit." That person laughed.
"Must I pick it?" Meng Qi didn't move forward. Although she couldn't feel any burning sensation, just standing nearby made her feel uncomfortable.
"You can also choose to stay and accompany me for ten years. Little girl, don't be ungrateful. If I didn't see that you have the Five Spirit Cauldron and have some relationship with Lin Yan, I wouldn't give you such a good thing. Also … "
He pretended to be mysterious and said, "When you reach the Ten Extremes Mountain, you will know that this Red Karmic Fire Lotus has other magical uses."
"Especially this year's Ten Extremes Mountain." He added.
"Okay." Meng Qi looked at the Red Karmic Fire Lotus quietly.
What was Karmic Fire? She had never heard of it.
Meng Qi took out a Nirvana Pill from her storage bag and held it in her left hand.
"Nirvana Pill … Little girl, you have quite a lot of good things on you." That person's eyes were sharp and saw Meng Qi's pill. "Even Nascent Soul little girls can walk around with Nirvana Pills now? Great Sky Demons can't do it, tsk tsk tsk … "
Meng Qi didn't say anything.
She didn't doubt that this strange cultivator who was talking to her was a powerful person from ancient times. He knew too much.
She just didn't know why he was in this branch of the Ten Extremes Mountain.
Could it be related to this year's opening of the Ten Extremes Mountain for the first ten thousand years?
"Little girl, I'll teach you another lesson. Li Fire burns the body, Karmic Fire burns the heart, and it burns your divine sense first. The stronger your Dao Heart is, the less you need to fear this Karmic Fire. "That person said.
Meng Qi's heart moved. She suddenly remembered that she seemed to have heard of this thing before.
She once read in a book that after a cultivator entered the Mahayana Realm, every time they advanced a small realm, they would need to undergo a tribulation.
It was just that at that time, the tribulation would no longer be tribulation lightning, but would begin to temper the Dao Heart.
Tempering the Dao Heart used this kind of flame called "Karmic Fire". If one's divine sense and Dao Heart could withstand the test, the cultivator's realm would increase.
Otherwise, one could die and disappear. Just like that person said, they would be completely turned into ashes as if they never existed.
Was this Karmic Fire?
She took a step forward, slowly bent down, and reached out towards the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.
Her fingers were already about to touch the small golden lotus. The moment her fingertips touched the light surrounding the golden lotus, a strange burning feeling instantly spread from her fingertips to her entire body.
Meng Qi's body froze.
Her skin didn't feel anything, but her spirit sea seemed to be burning.
Above her spirit sea, a small golden lotus floated there. There was a translucent red flame continuously surging out from the golden lotus.
The spirit qi in her spirit sea seemed to have turned into kerosene. It was ignited by this translucent red flame, and it quickly spread.
In the blink of an eye, her spirit sea was already a sea of fire.
Those flames crazily burned her spirit sea and her neidan. She didn't know when the Five Spirit Cauldron had returned to her body, quietly floating above her spirit sea.
Those flames also burned the Five Spirit Cauldron. In just a moment, the Five Spirit Cauldron turned red.
This was Meng Qi's natal magic weapon, and it was connected to her mind.
Meng Qi screamed, "Ah —"
It was so hot!
She had never felt so hot before. Normal fire could never make her feel so hot. This feeling was as if a flame had emerged from the depths of her soul and was roasting her internal organs.
"It's so hot!" Meng Qi didn't lose her mind. She flicked her fingers and sent a pill into her mouth.
The man laughed again, as if he had seen something very pleasant. "This is Karmic Fire, little girl. Anyway, you will experience it when you reach the Mahayana Realm."
1200ksw.net
He laughed happily for a long time before saying, "Have you forgotten what I just said?"
What Meng Qi had just given herself was a pill that could detoxify fire poison.
When the pill entered her throat, the burning in her body didn't ease at all. Instead, it was a little more uncomfortable than before.
She heard the man's laughter and what he was saying.
Karmic Fire …
Meng Qi was already a little dazed. She couldn't help but reach out and pull the collar of her green robe.
But the heat didn't come from the outside. Loosening the collar didn't have the slightest effect.
So hot …
So hot …
It was not only her spirit sea that was burned, but also her divine sense. After a while, Meng Qi even became a little dazed.
She raised her eyes and looked forward. Her eyes, which had always been clear, became muddled and confused.
Hot …
This was the only thought left in Meng Qi's mind. The flames burning in her spirit sea seemed to follow her meridians and blood and began to sweep through her body, and finally spread to her mind.
So hot …
Meng Qi exhaled with difficulty.
If there was anyone else here, they would only see her standing quietly on the spot and tearing her collar with her right hand.
Nothing else could be seen. There wasn't even a trace of sweat on her forehead.
"Little girl, why don't you choose to stay? Why do you have to make things difficult for yourself? " The man smiled proudly and said, "If you stay, you can learn a lot of skills, and you don't have to suffer the pain of being burned by the hellfire. How great is that!"
"No …" Meng Qi slowly opened her mouth and said hoarsely.
She actually didn't know what she was saying. She only knew that she couldn't compromise like this.
She couldn't, she couldn't!
She still had very important things to do. She had to climb to the top of the Ten Extremes Mountain and become stronger as soon as possible!
She had to …
Why did she have to become stronger?
Meng Qi's vision became blurry.
Why was she in a hurry to become stronger?
"Little girl, stay. I'll teach you a lot of skills. Not only will you not suffer the pain of the hellfire, but you'll also be able to move unhindered after leaving here. Everyone will respect and fear you. "The man softened his voice and continued.
"No …" Meng Qi answered purely by instinct.
She could only feel the flames in her body that were about to burn her entire body to ashes.
Her hair, her eyes, her ears, her heart …
These were all going to be burned.
"Stay. Promise me that you'll stay, and I'll extinguish this fire immediately, okay? You've already done well enough. Be good … "The man said again.
"Have I already done well enough?" Meng Qi opened her mouth. Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
"Yes, you've already done well enough. If you give up now and choose to stay, no one will blame you. So it doesn't matter. You're still young, and you shouldn't have to suffer the pain of being burned by the hellfire. Is there anyone outside that you can't bear to part with? "
Before Meng Qi could say anything, the man continued, "Is it that little friend who became your dao companion? You're afraid that he won't wait for you, right? Don't worry, when you're strong enough in the future, you can get any dao companion you want … "
Dao companion?!
That's right! She and Yun Qingyan were already dao companions.
Yun Qingyan!
Meng Qi's eyes, which were originally cloudy, suddenly became clear.
She wanted to leave this place. She wanted to become stronger!
She would never let Qing Yanzhenjun get hurt because of her again. Because of her, he almost …
"Ahhhhhhh!" Meng Qi suddenly stood up straight, and her thin shoulders straightened.
There was no wind in the swamp.
But at that moment, it was as if a gust of wind blew past, and Meng Qi's long hair fluttered.
Her eyes were even brighter than before.
In her spiritual sea, the Red Lotus of Hellfire spun, and translucent red flames surged out crazily. They were still burning her spiritual sea, her inner core, and her natal dharma treasure.
The first to move was Meng Qi's inner core.
That was the source of a cultivator's cultivation. The small inner core also began to spin.
Then, it was her Five Spirit Cauldron.
The small cauldron spun faster and faster in her spiritual sea, and a small whirlwind formed. The whirlwind seemed to have a huge suction force. More than half of the translucent flames spewing out of the Red Lotus of Hellfire were sucked into the small cauldron.
The Red Lotus of Hellfire also spun faster, and more flames spewed out of it. Although Meng Qi's Five Spirit Cauldron was already desperately absorbing the flames, she was only a Nascent Soul cultivator after all, and her Five Spirit Cauldron had not reached the top level.
Gradually, the Five Spirit Cauldron began to slow down.
As soon as the Five Spirit Cauldron slowed down, the flames in her body increased. The feeling of her internal organs burning gradually began to occupy her mind again.
"Hahaha, little girl, don't struggle. It's already very difficult for you to have such talent. Stay here. How about this, I'll take a step back. I can help you protect your little dao companion. And I promise that the Red Lotus of Hellfire will still be yours after ten years. Then, you can take it then, and it won't be so painful … "
"Hellfire …" Meng Qi gritted her teeth and said word by word, "Isn't it to temper one's Dao Heart?"
Her little face was pale, but at this moment, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she revealed a slight smile.
Meng Qi was actually not the type of beauty that could topple cities, nor was she the kind of peerless beauty that would amaze people at first sight.
But this smile had a kind of soul-stirring beauty.
Even that person had forgotten to speak for a moment.
Meng Qi straightened her back. "I will walk my own path!"
She paused, and her eyes were extremely bright. Then she said, "I will also protect my own people."
