"If I had come here today to obtain the item in the mountain alone, do you think I would have been discovered so easily with my strength? If I wholeheartedly wanted to avoid you, do you think that you would have the slightest chance of discovering me given the concealment methods of my Ghost Temple Sect? "The Old Flame Demon Ghost ignored Yuan Qing's doubts and asked again.
Yuan Qing frowned deeply when he heard that. He lowered his head and pondered the Balrog Ghost's words. The Balrog Ghost was right. With his Ghost Temple Sect's concealment methods, Yuan Qing might not have been able to discover him even if he cultivated for a hundred years if he wanted to. However, what did he mean by that? Did he really purposely let me discover him so that he could lure me out and kill me in a single stroke? Thinking up to this point, Yuan Qing's entire body broke out in cold sweat. His soul power involuntarily spread out to investigate the surrounding auras. However, Yuan Qing was no fool. After a brief investigation, he retracted the powerful soul power he had spread out. He did not allow his thoughts to mess up his mind.
He thought about it from another angle. Since the Balrog Ghost did not bring any guards with him when he came out, and the Balrog Ghost knew that it was impossible for him to kill Yuan Qing alone, it would already be quite good if Yuan Qing did not kill him instead.
Then why exactly did this Old Flame Demon Ghost spend so much effort to lure him out?
Xiao Yan, who was hidden in the white cloud in the sky, shook his head and softly sighed when he saw Yuan Qing's face as he thought bitterly. Everyone says that the older a person is, the wiser they become. Why does Yuan Qing seem so foolish now? Looks like the longer you live, the more reluctant you are to die. You've become afraid of death. You fell for such a simple trick. You've really wasted your life. "
A moment later, Yuan Qing raised his head and looked at the Balrog Ghost. His eyes stared at him without blinking as he said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what do you want from me? Since you have lured me here, it is likely that it is not as simple as having a chat with me, right?"
The Balrog Ghost parted the corner of his mouth that was hidden under the mask. His entire body within the black fog quietly relaxed. Due to the cover of the black fog, Yuan Qing did not notice it. However, Xiao Yan, who was in the clouds, frowned slightly. Immediately, the corner of his mouth was lifted into an icy-cold arc.
The members of the Hun clan were really unable to change their treacherous character no matter where they went. These fellows would first compete with the other party in terms of strength no matter where they went. When they were stronger than the other party, they would torture the other party even more viciously. If they were unable to defeat the other party, they would think of all sorts of methods and use everything around them to attract the other party's attention. On the other hand, they would wait for the right opportunity and viciously bite the other party like an incomparably poisonous snake. After which, they would quietly enjoy that painful feeling, causing them to be incomparably excited.
The Balrog Ghost looked at Yuan Qing, who was standing quietly without moving, and the three avatars behind him. He laughed, "Brother Qing Yuan, there is indeed a natural treasure within the belly of this enormous mountain. However, there is an extremely powerful restriction within this mountain. It is likely that this natural treasure has already been discovered by an almighty person. However, this item might not have matured back then. Hence, this restriction was left behind in order to come and collect it in the future. You should also understand the meaning behind my words now that I have spoken until this point, right? " The Balrog Ghost's face was filled with smiles as he glanced at Yuan Qing. At this moment, even the way he addressed Yuan Qing had become cordial. Yuan Qing frowned upon hearing this. He looked at the Balrog Ghost with some dissatisfaction and said, "You wish for me to join hands with you and break the protective restriction on this mountain? On what basis should we obtain the natural treasure within it? " The Balrog Ghost seemed to have already anticipated that Yuan Qing would ask such a question. Hence, he merely glanced at Yuan Qing before quickly continuing, "After the old me has investigated the treasure within this mountain, if I have guessed correctly, this item should be …" The words in the Balrog Ghost's mouth suddenly paused when he spoke until this point. He raised his eyes to look at Yuan Qing, who was quietly standing in the air with an impatient face. The corner of his mouth under the mask was lifted. After which, he continued, "Icy Fire Vermillion Fruit!"
The entire place became quiet when these words were uttered. Yuan Qing's eyes were widened. His pair of turbid old eyes were filled with excitement and threads of greed that could not be hidden. His entire body involuntarily trembled slightly. The Dou Qi within his body also began to churn at this moment. If it was not because Yuan Qing saw that the Balrog Ghost still had some value, it was likely that he would have been killed by the Balrog Ghost with all his strength the moment those words left his mouth.
The Icy Fire Vermillion Fruit was a kind of natural elixir that had extremely harsh growth conditions. Any place where the Icy Fire Vermillion Fruit grew would definitely be a place where the fire affinity and ice affinity energy of the world intersected.
During its growth stage, the Icy Fire Vermillion Fruit needed to first absorb the ice affinity and fire affinity energy of the world to reach a balance point. After which, it would grow independently for a hundred years. Once it reached a hundred years, it needed to be picked immediately. Otherwise, one could only wait for it to grow to a thousand years and wait for its next evolution to be picked.
This fruit appeared just like a vermillion fruit from its outer appearance. Two tiny lines of fiery-red and icy-blue intertwined with each other, turning it into a dazzling and eye-catching piece of art where red and blue intersected.
Ice and fire conflicted with each other. Originally, they should not have merged into one. However, it was unknown whether it was a strange creation of the heavens or the uniqueness of the fruit itself, but the two types of energy within it did not explode due to the conflicting attributes. Instead, they merged together in an extremely harmonious manner. It was precisely because of this point of the Icy Fire Vermillion Fruit that when a cultivator swallowed it into his body, the balance between ice and fire would be broken. From there, it would release an energy that was dozens of times greater than usual. The cultivator would then use this energy to breakthrough.
Wherever it grew, other than plants, all living beings within a radius of a thousand miles would be intimidated by the strange pressure of Heaven and Earth that it emitted, not daring to lay a finger on it in the slightest. The situation now was exactly the same.
"Looks like it is undoubtedly the Icy Fire Vermillion Fruit!" Yuan Qing calmed his mind. His eyes stared at the Balrog Ghost for a long while before glancing at the huge mountain beside him that had a clear distinction between red and white. Finally, he nodded his head in confirmation.
"Tell me, how do we split it?" Yuan Qing did not say much and directly asked the question that the two of them were most concerned about right now. The Balrog Ghost was not surprised. He knew that Yuan Qing had been stuck at this cultivation level for many years. Now that he finally knew that the thing he had been dreaming of was right in front of him, he was naturally extremely anxious.
"Haha, that's easy. Since the restriction was broken by the two of us together, the thing inside should naturally be split in half. Brother Yuan Qing, do you have any objections to this?"
Yuan Qing hesitated for a moment before the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. He agreed, "Alright, then we'll split it in half."
With that, the two of them approached the huge mountain and prepared to break the restriction on the mountain.
