Chapter 64 Rock Spirit

"Don't fight with Southern Region cultivators. If anyone is injured, return immediately." Ji Wuhen read the content of the note and his brows relaxed. Then he handed the note to Lu Qian and Baili Qing to read one by one.

"I've never heard that Elder Lan is good at predicting fate. How come everything he said came true today." Lu Qian praised in his heart after reading the note.

"I guess the real secret in this space is not as simple as a treasure. No matter what it is, we will return first according to the instructions on this note. Junior Sister Qing'er is seriously injured. It is safer to return to Yudaomen in time to heal her injuries." Ji Wuhen said.

...

In the space outside the gate at the other end of the square.

The whole space is filled with extremely high temperature heat waves. From a distance, a magma lake is located in the depths of the space, reflecting the entire space red. Six huge columns can be seen scattered around the magma lake. Above the magma lake is a spider web-like spirit gathering array, and a red flag is hovering in the center of the array.

"Brother, look, the flag in the magic circle is probably the treasure we want to take." Yu Qingcheng said, pointing with his hand.

"It should be this flag." Ning Tianqi said.

"The fire attribute spiritual power here is so abundant, it is a good place to practice fire attribute skills. If I didn't come to take the treasure, I would like to stay here for a few more days to practice." Guigufeng with red hair said.

"I didn't expect that we were the first to come to the treasure." Bai Shaojie said with a little excitement.

"Wait!" With Guigufeng's exclamation, the four stopped.

"Everyone be careful, I feel that there is a terrifying fire attribute spiritual breath in the magma lake, and its hidden power is not inferior to the old dragon in the sand sea before." Guigufeng said with a serious face.

"With my brother here, why should I be afraid of him?" Yu Qingcheng said disdainfully.

"The master of Guigu Hall practices fire attribute skills and is good at concealment. Most of the time, it will not be wrong. Everyone should be careful."

Ning Tianqi finished speaking and pointed one hand in front of him. A wisp of black wind condensed at the fingertips, and a three-foot-long black falcon spun out in an instant. The falcon's eyes lit up, and it spread its wings and flew to the sky above the magma lake opposite.

The falcon flew over the magma lake and looked down at the ground. The situation below was in full view. The scene the falcon saw was reflected in Ning Tianqi's pupils.

The red treasure flag fluttered in the center of the formation, and a red divine bird pattern about a foot long was painted on the surface. This divine bird has a thin neck and a long tail, sharp claws and a sharp beak, a golden feather crown on its head, and a majestic appearance. However, the eyes of the divine bird seemed empty and lifeless.

Suddenly, there was a violent tumbling in the magma lake below. A dark red rock hand stretched out from the magma lake, and then fiercely grabbed the black falcon in the air. After a red shadow, the black falcon was already grasped in its palm. The remaining magma "pat-pat" slid down from the gap of his palm. When he opened his palm, he saw a wisp of remaining flame gradually extinguished, and the black falcon had completely turned into ashes.

Then the big hand slowly sank into the magma lake, leaving only a string of rolling magma bubbles, as if nothing had happened.

"Sure enough, the Ghost Valley Hall Master said it right. There is indeed a powerful fire-attributed spiritual creature in the magma lake." Bai Shaojie said.

"This rock monster can actually burn the black falcon condensed by spiritual power. I'm afraid that ordinary spell attacks will also be burned by it. And its hidden spiritual pressure is indeed not inferior to the old dragon in the sand sea. We must think of a way." Ning Tianqi said, touched his chin with one hand, and fell into a moment of thought.

Hearing Ning Tianqi talking about the old dragon, Bai Shaojie couldn't help but use the method of internal vision to look at the little golden dragon in his body.

A clear voice like a child came into Bai Shaojie's mind: "If this dragon is in its peak state, how can the stone spirit in the magma lake be compared with me."

"I don't know its strength, but in terms of cunningness, this spirit is definitely not as good as you." Bai Shaojie said half-sarcastically. The little golden dragon smiled awkwardly and said, "I, Xiao Jin, will keep my word and will never let my master down." After that, the little golden dragon turned into a golden egg and floated quietly in Bai Shaojie's purple mansion space. Of course, no one else could hear the conversation between Bai Shaojie and the little golden dragon just now.

After a moment, Ning Tianqi said, "Just now I noticed that there is a red divine bird painted on the red treasure flag. As far as I know, there is indeed a similar Xuantian spiritual treasure in the Yu Dao Sect, called the Suzaku Flag, which must be this thing. However, the divine bird spirit on this flag is no longer there, and the value of this flag has been greatly reduced. At most, it can only be regarded as a top-grade magic weapon. If all this is within the calculation of the Yu Dao Sect, the situation that happened before can be understood. A top-grade magic weapon is not worth the Yu Dao Sect to pay a heavy price and fight with the Southern Region cultivators with all their strength."

"Brother, what you said makes sense. Just now, Ji Wuhen from the Yu Dao Sect easily agreed to let us enter this place first. I think this matter is a bit strange, but since we are here, we can't go back empty-handed." Yu Qingcheng said.

"I think the purpose of Yu Dao Sect to open this space is definitely not as simple as this Vermillion Bird Flag. If we go to take this flag now, I am afraid we will have a fierce battle with the rock spirit in front. Shaojie is still injured. If we continue to consume our fighting power, it will be very disadvantageous for us if the monks of Yu Dao Sect happen to let the four Southern Region monks behind us in to snatch this thing from us. Why don't we wait here for half an hour. If after half an hour, the people of Yu Dao Sect and the Southern Region monks have not entered this place, it means that they are fighting with all their strength. In this way, we don't have to worry about the four Southern Region monks coming here unscathed to snatch this thing from us. If the four Southern Region monks also enter this place within half an hour, it won't be too late for us to make other plans." Ning Tianqi said.

After hearing this, the other three nodded one after another, indicating that they agreed with Ning Tianqi's method.

A moment ago, a weak wave came from the entrance, and then a slender figure appeared, which was Linghu Ying'er who sneaked in first.

Linghu Ying'er made a hand gesture, opened her mouth slightly, and a light white smoke came out of her mouth silently. Gradually, her figure was hidden in a mist. When the mist dissipated, Linghu Ying'er was no longer there.

Linghu Ying'er performed the hiding technique, and then quietly observed the situation inside. She vaguely saw that the Suzaku flag in the method array on the magma lake had not been taken away. Her brows relaxed, and she felt a little comforted.

She held her breath and stared at Ning Tianqi and the other four. From a distance, she could see Ning Tianqi's move to draw out the rock spirit.

Half an hour later, another wave of spiritual power was emitted at the entrance. Mu Di Youfeng, Rong Ming, and Tuoba Shanyue appeared at the entrance.

Linghu Ying'er, who was hiding in the dark, showed up when she saw her companions enter the place safely.

"Brother Mu Di, you are here." As she said, she glanced at the three people and found that Tuoba Shanyue was in a state of pretense.

"Tuoba, you are injured." Linghu Ying'er asked.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Ying'er. I just got a little hurt." Tuoba Shanyue said with a silly smile.

"Still talking nonsense. My nose is so sharp, how can I not smell that your internal breath is disordered? Your Yuanhun is probably seriously injured. I have a bottle of "Spirit Fox Soul-Renewing Pill" for treating soul and body injuries. You can take it." As he said, he threw out a small green porcelain bottle.

Tuoba Shanyue reached out and took the small porcelain bottle, and said incoherently: "Hehe, Miss Ying'er's nose is beautiful."

"Fool, take this pill quickly."

Tuoba Shanyue knew the preciousness and wonderful use of this Spirit Fox Soul-Renewing Pill, and quickly poured out a white jade pill from the green porcelain bottle and put it in his mouth. The pill melted in his mouth, and the fragrant and smooth medicinal power flowed into the meridians. The injured Yuanhun suddenly became active and began to repair rapidly under the irrigation of this medicinal power.

......

"Miss Ying'er, what's the situation here?" Mu Di You Feng asked.

"Brother You Feng, the Vermillion Bird Flag is in the magic circle above the magma lake ahead. But there is a powerful rock spirit in the magma lake. The cultivators of the Heavenly Ghost Sect may be afraid of its strength and did not rashly take the Vermillion Bird Flag." Linghu Ying'er replied.

"The one wearing a purple brocade robe among the people of the Heavenly Ghost Sect is Ning Tianqi, the head of the Wind Ghost Hall. Several years ago, Ning Tianqi made a big fuss in the South Region, and I had a fight with him. You might as well go over and ask him." Rong Ming said. Rong Ming naturally concealed the friendship between him and Ning Tianqi, after all, the South Region and the North Region have always been at odds.

"Ning Tianqi not only made a big fuss in the South Region, but also kidnapped the Saint of the Feiyu League to be a double cultivation partner, which made the Feiyu League lose face. He is also a famous figure. Just now, the four of them did not participate in the attack on us by the cultivators of the Yu Dao Sect. It seems that they will not fight us head-on. It's okay to go over and ask." Mu Di You Feng said.

After saying that, the four of them walked inside.

Ning Tianqi and the others also noticed that the four Southern Region cultivators were approaching them.

"Brother, you are really as good as a god. These four Southern Region cultivators were indeed let in by Ji Wuhen." Yu Qingcheng said, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ning Tianqi's face.

Not long after, Mu Di Youfeng and the other four came closer.

"Fellow Taoists from the Heavenly Ghost Sect, how are you? I am Mu Di Youfeng from the Hundred Beasts Alliance. This must be the Ning Tianqi Hall Master of the Heavenly Ghost Sect." Mu Di Youfeng said with a fist.

"I am Ning Tianqi." Ning Tianqi replied.

"You didn't make things difficult for us before, so I don't think there is any need to do it again now. This Vermillion Bird Flag originally belonged to the Southern Region Feiyu Alliance. It is natural for us to take it back this time." Mu Di Youfeng said.

"This Vermillion Bird Flag is indeed not important to the Heavenly Ghost Sect. Since you have come all the way here to get the treasure, I believe this Vermillion Bird Flag will be of great benefit to you. However, we have gone through a lot of trouble to get here, so we can't just go back empty-handed."

"Fellow Daoist Tianqi, what do you mean?" Mu Di You Feng changed the subject, his tone slightly solemn.

"How about this, there is a rock spirit in the magma lake guarding this flag, why don't we work together to defeat it first and take back this flag. Then we each send one person to compete one-on-one, and the winner will get the Vermillion Bird Flag, how about that?"

"It seems that Master Ning is going to take action personally?"

"That's what Tianqi is thinking."

Mu Di You Feng turned his head and looked at the people on his side.

"This is a good idea. Several years ago, I had a contest with Hall Master Ning, and the two sides ended in a draw. This time, I will learn from Hall Master Ning's high skills." Rong Ming said, looking at Ning Tianqi.

"Tianqi is happy to accompany you." Ning Tianqi said with a smile.

Mu Di You Feng thought for a while, and it was indeed not suitable to fight with the people in front of him at this moment. After both sides were injured, the winning side would be unable to defeat the rock spirits here after the combat power was damaged. Rong Ming's strength is definitely not inferior to his own, and he should be able to fight with Ning Tianqi on the opposite side. Besides, the people of Feiyu League have long ambushed around Piaoyun Peak according to the formulated strategy. Even if Ning Tianqi wins by chance and gets the Suzaku Flag, it will not be too late to take it back when he gets outside.

So Mu Di You Feng replied: "Okay! It's settled, let's work together to defeat the rock spirit in front of us first."
