Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing put away the Broken Moon Flowing Frost, and the few of them landed at the entrance of Chi Yan Valley.

"Good fellow, this place is too hot, isn't it?"

"Fortunately we are cultivators; if it were ordinary people, they absolutely couldn't endure it!"

"Just right, this way no one will disturb us."

The black cat in Miao Huayu's bosom moved, its heterochromatic eyes half-open and half-closed, glanced at the surrounding environment, then yawned again, obviously not yet fully recovered from its drunken state.

The heat here made it uncomfortable, and it instinctively shrank back into Miao Huayu's bosom.

Xu Zhangqing called out, "Let's go."

Everyone proceeded into the valley.

However, after walking only a few steps, they heard a "shasha" sound.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he discovered that the surrounding rock crevices were densely packed with crimson ants.

Each one was larger than an ordinary ant, its shell gleaming with a metallic luster, its abdomen bulging with a small red sac, gnawing at the orange crystals embedded in the rock crevices with its mandibles.

As a Disciple of Ling Beast Valley, Hu Bugui recognized them at a glance: "These are Chi Huo Ants; they mainly eat fire-attribute things and almost never attack people."

Since there was no danger, no one hesitated any longer, and they continued walking inward.

As they went deeper, besides the Chi Huo Ants they had just discovered, another creature living in high temperatures appeared.

It was a lizard that was orange all over.

It had three pale red stripes on its back, and the tip of its tail dragged a small ball of flesh.

At this moment, it was pressing its body against the scorching rock wall, lazily basking in the sun.

Hu Bugui recognized them again: "These are Yan Lizards; they have very high resistance to flames."

"Not only can they be used to make delicious food, but their skin can also be refined into Spirit Tools."

When food was mentioned, everyone subconsciously looked at Xu Zhangqing.

Among those present, he was the only one who cooked well.

It was a pity that they hadn't tasted his cooking for a long time.

How could Xu Zhangqing not understand? He immediately smiled and said, "Alright, I'll cook for you when we go back."

The three of them immediately showed satisfied expressions, and their moods improved greatly.

Along the way, there were many small demons in the valley, but they were all gentle in temperament and didn't hurt people much.

Occasionally, they could see some Huo Ying Insects appearing during the day; their abdomens flashed with warm-colored light, like little lanterns.

After about a quarter of an hour, the surrounding temperature kept rising, and the smell of sulfur in the air grew stronger.

Immediately afterward, the area ahead suddenly opened up.

A magma pool with a diameter of ten zhang suddenly appeared before their eyes.

Crimson magma inside the pool kept bubbling, and the hot mist it sprayed made the air twist.

And in the center of the magma pool, there was a black area, inside which grew three plants three feet high; their mushroom caps were crimson, their surfaces covered with pale gold dragon patterns, glowing faintly with the fluctuations of the magma, surrounded by crimson mist.

Xu Zhangqing and the others' eyes lit up; just as they were about to go over and collect them, his divine sense suddenly perceived someone approaching from the other side, and at quite a fast speed.

Immediately, the four of them looked over warily.

Not long after, four cultivators walked over from the other side.

Leading them was a female cultivator in red tight-fitting clothes, about thirty years old.

She had a fiery figure and a pure appearance.

Behind her followed three male cultivators, one carrying a long spear, one holding a folding fan, and one carrying a medicine basket on his back.

Judging from the fluctuations of their auras, it was one Golden Core with three Foundation Establishment Stage.

The Golden Core female cultivator stepped forward, looking warily at Xu Zhangqing and the others: "Who are you? Why have you appeared here!"

Hu Bugui stepped forward and countered: "Who are you?"

The female cultivator immediately replied: "This Chi Yan Valley has been taken over by our Yanguang Sect, and the Chi Yan Dragon Lingzhi is also our property. Please move aside, don't snatch others' opportunities."

Hu Bugui hesitated slightly and looked back at the three behind him.

Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow and said: "When did you take it over? How come I don't know?"

The female cultivator's mouth corner twitched slightly, and she said somewhat proudly: "Just took it over."

Put plainly, they just arrived one step ahead of Xu Zhangqing and the others.

They had gone deeper into other places earlier, so they hadn't run into them.

If they had come out even a little later, these three Chi Yan Dragon Lingzhi would have been picked.

Hu Bugui was very unconvinced: "What Yanguang Sect? Never heard of it."

The female cultivator didn't speak, but the male cultivator behind her carrying a long spear had a dark expression: "Such a big tone. Who are you people, and which sect do you come from?"

Xu Zhangqing and the four exchanged glances, then spoke at the same time: "Dongting Immortal Sect!"

Upon hearing this, the three men and one woman opposite were instantly stunned.

Even in the Central Region, Yanguang Sect could only be considered a medium sect.

Compared with the Three Great Immortal Sects, they were worlds apart.

Even in the Central Region, Yanguang Sect could only be considered a medium sect.

Compared to the Three Great Immortal Sects, Jian Shi, they were worlds apart.

Initially, the four of them still didn't believe it, but after carefully sizing them up, especially after recognizing the attire of the Dongting Immortal Sect, they had no choice but to believe.

Of course, whether true or false, they had to believe it.

After all, they simply couldn't afford to offend a sect like that.

The only Golden Core female cultivator in the group reacted and said politely, "So you are several seniors of the Dongting Immortal Sect. I am a Disciple of the Yanguang Sect, named Lin Xiaoyan."

"These few are my junior brothers, Zhao Lei, Sun Peng, and Zhou Hang."

Zhao Lei, who was carrying the Long Spear, hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed: "I was just rash. I didn't expect it to be several seniors of the Dongting Immortal Sect."

"Our Yanguang Sect has always respected the Dongting Immortal Sect. I hope you will be generous."

The other two were extremely glad in their hearts that they hadn't spoken just now.

Otherwise, things really wouldn't end well.

First, they couldn't beat the other side.

Second, they couldn't afford to offend the other side.

No matter how they thought about it, they would lose out, so naturally there was no need to stubbornly save face.

Lin Xiaoyan pointed at the Red Divine Ring in the center of the Magma Pool and said ingratiatingly, "Although we discovered this Red Divine Ring first, you seniors obviously need it more."

"Consider it a meeting gift. Please don't disdain it, seniors."

Xu Zhangqing said with a playful expression: "Then, after we harvest the Dragon, we'll give you one stalk?"

Lin Xiaoyan and the four others hurriedly waved their hands: "No need, no need!"

"Our Sect Master has said that when dealing with seniors of great sects, sincerity is most important!"

"This Dragon is useless even if we keep it. Giving it to you seniors isn't a waste!"

"Besides, being able to meet seniors of the Dongting Immortal Sect is a great honor!"

These few people changed faces faster than flipping a book.

However proud they were just now, they were that cautious now.

Xu Zhangqing smiled, then took out a Communication Talisman and handed it over: "I still have some connections in Dongyu. If you encounter any situation, you can use this to contact."

I have nothing else, just many friends and many resources.

When traveling outside, everyone will give some face.

Of course, he almost never goes out.

Lin Xiaoyan treated it like a Supreme Treasure, hurriedly and excitedly taking it, afraid that if she was late by a second the other party would take it back, then excitedly asked: "Thank you, senior. May I ask your name is..."

However, the ones with the biggest reaction were Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue.

Both felt something was wrong and hurriedly covered their ears.

It wasn't that Miao Huayu didn't cover her ears, but rather both hands were holding the cat.

After some struggling, she helplessly revealed a numb expression.

At this moment, Xu Zhangqing's loud voice was heard: "Dongting Immortal Sect, Qingmu Peak, the only Spirit Cultivator at the Spirit Field Core, Xu Zhangqing!"
