Chapter 235: Primordial Fire Spirit Grass

Leaving from the Imperial City, Xu Que didn't have a trace of nostalgia.

Whether it was for Princess Yan Yang or the Empress. Acting cool is like the wind, and it also requires a magnanimous and unrestrained heart.

Before long, Xu Que landed on the shore of Daming Lake, quietly changed his clothes, covered his face, and took advantage of no one noticing to walk out from a hidden spot.

Originally, the fastest way to the Imperial Mausoleum was to continue taking the teleportation array, but the Imperial Palace was burned down, and even the teleportation array was gone. Xu Que had no choice but to enter through the passage on the shore of Daming Lake; after all, this was the safest and most convenient way.

It was just that when he passed by the lake and looked at the villa in the center, he paused slightly.

After pondering for a moment, he quietly sneaked into the villa.

A beautiful figure in the villa, leaning on the railing, was Lady Ya's murmuring voice.

She looked in the direction of the Imperial Palace fire, but her mouth was still muttering to herself: "We are both people who have fallen to the ends of the earth, why do we need to have met before to know each other! Young Master Li, where... will you be now? Will you... still come to find me?"

Regarding the Fire Emperor's life or death!

Regarding the survival of the Fire Kingdom!

Lady Ya never cared much.

She had always just been a so-called talented woman attached to the wind, elegance, and songs, seeking some comfort in her life from poetry and songs.

It wasn't until that world-shocking genius named "Li Bai" appeared that Lady Ya felt she was no longer like a walking corpse. However, the joy was only for a moment, but the longing was so constant...

That person...

Where is he now?

Could he be longing like this too?

"Sigh!"

Seeing Lady Ya in this state, Xu Que couldn't help but feel a bit of pity.

The most pitiful is the beauty, leaning on the building alone, sighing and missing her lover.

But Xu Que couldn't appear. He knew he didn't belong here and couldn't give her anything more, so he quietly walked into Lady Ya's boudoir, looked at the neatly arranged brush, ink, paper, and inkstone next to the desk, picked up the wolf-hair brush, waved his big hand, and left a sentence on the paper: "If you have a bosom friend within the four seas, the ends of the earth are like neighbors."

After leaving the note, Xu Que quietly left Lady Ya's villa.

Immediately after, Xu Que hid his figure, flew into the air, sank his Qi into his dantian, and shouted in a majestic voice toward the entire Imperial City: "The Zha Tian Bang has an order, whoever dares to be disrespectful to Lady Ya, the 108 heroes of the Zha Tian Bang will definitely not let you off, and guarantee that your end will be worse than the Fire Emperor's!"

After speaking, Xu Que flicked his sleeves, without taking away a single cloud, and swept into the entrance of the passage.

Walking dashingly, walking naturally, a romantic wanderer must have this kind of style!

And he said those harsh words naturally to protect Lady Ya.

Now that the Fire Emperor is dead, the Imperial City will definitely face chaos. After all, there are several princes of the Ji family, although they are thousands of miles away, once they receive news of the Fire Emperor's fall, they will definitely lead troops into the city to fight for the throne!

So Xu Que left harsh words in advance to intimidate that group of people.

And when Lady Ya heard this shout, she suddenly came back to her senses, looked out the window, but could only hear the voice and couldn't see anyone's figure.

"Young Master Li! Young Master Li..."

When she was searching the room like a madwoman, she saw a line of words written on a piece of fine rice paper on the desk: "If you have a bosom friend within the four seas, the ends of the earth are like neighbors."

"The ends of the earth are like neighbors? Young Master Li... you... you will always be with my heart, right? Don't worry, I will keep myself pure for you for a lifetime, waiting... waiting for your return..."

Looking at this poem, Lady Ya's teary eyes blurred, but her heart was incredibly satisfied.

Walking on this passage dug by the old beggar again, Xu Que felt refreshed and happy!

He performed the Three Thousand Thunder Movement and returned to the tomb in less than two hours.

Along the way he came, he went straight to the tomb chamber.

As a result, Jin Dapang and the other souls were still sleeping and cultivating.

Xu Que frowned, thought about it, and decided not to take them away.

Anyway, let these guys continue to stay here, it's the same if he comes back to find them to run errands in the future when needed.

Walking out of the tomb chamber, Xu Que hurried to the underground again, going deeper step by step along the passage.

Finally arriving at the edge of the magma pool, he took out the Fire Emperor's bloodline and Lady Ya's tears.

"Boom!"

As soon as the bloodline and tears were taken out, the ground instantly shook.

The entire magma pool began to roll and bubble violently, as if it were boiling liquid, as if something was surging up from below!

Xu Que narrowed his eyes, crossed his arms over his chest, and stood calmly on the side waiting!

"Wow!"

Suddenly, a golden dragon suddenly darted out from the magma. It was only a dragon head, but it was a stone statue, brilliant with golden light, emitting a dazzling halo, like a living creature.

However, this couldn't be considered a Dragon Vein, but the most critical essence of the Dragon Vein.

"Eh, is that... the Primordial Fire Spirit Grass?"

Xu Que widened his eyes, staring at a wisp of flame on top of the dragon head stone statue.

To be precise, it wasn't just a flame, it was just always changing.

Sometimes it transformed into a flame, like a weak candlelight, as if it would go out at any time.

Sometimes it condensed into the shape of a spirit grass, with leaves made of flames, so the changes were very strange.

"Ding! Detected 'Primordial Fire Spirit Grass', whether to consume 500 Acting Cool Points to pick and store it?" The system's prompt sounded right on time.

Xu Que was already used to the profiteering side of the system, and he had previously understood this kind of spirit grass. They gathered all the essence of the entire Dragon Vein and were even more powerful than the magma pool.

But once picked, if they lost the Dragon Vein to continue supplying nutrients, they would instantly die.

So the system's asking price of 500 Acting Cool Points, Xu Que felt it was still worth the money!

"Come on, a mere 500 Acting Cool Points, I don't even look at it, hurry up and pick it and let's go!"

Xu Que waved his big hand and said to the system, saving even the effort of bargaining.

After all, it includes picking, storage, and safety management. In this day and age, there aren't many services with such a three-guarantee service!

Whoosh!

The system immediately shot out a stream of light, swept toward the top of the golden dragon head, instantly enveloped the "Primordial Fire Spirit Grass", as if forming a protective circle, and then pulled it out by the roots!

"Ding! Consumed 500 Acting Cool Points, successfully picked 'Primordial Fire Spirit Grass'!"

The system's prompt sound echoed simultaneously.

However, just as Xu Que was about to turn and leave, the golden dragon head stone statue suddenly collapsed.

"Crack!"

The crisp sound was very loud in this empty cave.

Xu Que was astonished, but the dragon head stone statue continued to collapse, dense cracks covering the entire dragon head!

The next moment, with a "bang" sound, the dragon head stone statue instantly exploded, turning into pieces of gravel and falling into the magma pool!

"Boom!"

The entire magma pool boiled again, and the ground shook violently. Following that, a large amount of magma in the magma pool suddenly seeped deep into the ground and no longer surged out.

"Gulp!"

Finally, in just the blink of an eye, the magma pool that had been like a vast ocean just now had completely dried up!

The entire magma pool became a giant dried-up pit!

Xu Que was amused; this was equivalent to completely cutting off the Dragon Vein of the Fire Origin Kingdom.

Just as he was laughing and preparing to leave, his gaze happened to fall on the bottom of the dried-up magma pool, and he was astonished.

"Wait, at the bottom of this pool... there is something!"
