Atop the lotus platform, Yao Chen, on his side, prepared his defenses and retreated several feet away.
He slowly extended his hand towards the Green Lotus Core Fire floating in the center of the lotus platform.
His soul palm was covered with a thick layer of Bone Spirit Cold Fire. This Bone Spirit Cold Fire was Yao Chen's biggest reliance.
Otherwise, even with his Dou Zong strength, he wouldn't dare to directly collect the Green Lotus Core Fire.
"Boom!"
Just as Yao Chen's palm was about to grasp the green lotus-shaped flame, the originally gentle green lotus flame suddenly became violent. Terrifying energy erupted from within it, instantly transforming into a raging fire.
The surrounding temperature also sharply rose at this moment, causing the distant Chen Feng's face to be illuminated in a green hue.
"Ah…"
As the green fire continued to expand, Yao Chen let out a low roar. The Bone Spirit Cold Fire surged out from within him. The next moment, a huge forest-white flame shield instantly enveloped the expanding green fire.
At this moment, the forest-white flame that originally protected Chen Feng was completely withdrawn.
Chen Feng truly needed to rely on his own strength to resist the scorching magma around him.
Without the protection of Yao Chen's flame shield, Chen Feng also braced himself. The scorching magma quickly fell onto his silver armor.
"Sizzle! Sizzle!"
As soon as the magma touched the Dou Qi armor, there was a sizzling sound on the armor, as if it was about to melt.
However, with Chen Feng's Dou Qi energy madly bolstering it, the speed at which the silver armor was melting was instantly stopped.
"Huff!"
Seeing this situation, Chen Feng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although the surrounding high temperature was not completely isolated, he had the body of a divine elephant, which was different from ordinary people.
The high temperature that penetrated into the armor was not particularly threatening to him.
It was just that constructing the Dou Qi armor consumed his Dou Qi energy too quickly.
The next moment, Chen Feng's gaze looked towards the top of the lotus platform.
There, Yao Chen's Bone Spirit Cold Fire and the Green Lotus Core Fire's confrontation had gained a great advantage.
The raging green fire knew that it was inferior after several collisions and began to shrink in volume.
Yao Chen, on the other hand, took advantage of the victory and also began to shrink the size of the forest-white flame shield.
This full-force control of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire to imprison the Green Lotus Core Fire also consumed a great deal of Yao Chen's soul power.
He gritted his teeth and persisted, finally forcing the Green Lotus Core Fire back to its original size. At this time, the Green Lotus Core Fire finally stopped resisting and shrank to stay in the central position of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire shield.
"Master, I've caught this thing!"
After successfully capturing the Green Lotus Core Fire, Yao Chen immediately reported to Chen Feng and also spared some effort to protect Chen Feng.
"Very good!"
With Yao Chen's protection, Chen Feng's pressure was greatly reduced, and he once again came to the side of the green lotus.
In order to restrict the Green Lotus Core Fire, Chen Feng directly let Yao Chen take the Bone Spirit Cold Fire back to the Soul Banner.
The Soul Banner has its own space, and the energy body similar to the different fire can also be brought into it.
Moreover, the material of the Soul Banner is not afraid of the burning of the Green Lotus Core Fire. Even if the Green Lotus Core Fire makes trouble, it will be of no avail.
After that, Chen Feng's gaze was fixed on the green lotus that was unharmed under the high temperature.
Although the value of this thing is not as good as the different fire, it is also a treasure that can only be formed after a thousand years.
This green lotus platform is formed by the Earth Fire condensing for a thousand years. As long as it is dismantled, ordinary people can sit on it to practice, and the speed of practice can be increased by at least three or four times.
Moreover, when encountering an enemy, as long as you use Dou Qi to start it and release the earth fire hidden in it, you can directly threaten people at the Dou Ling level.
Although Chen Feng can't use these, he can give them to his beloved or relatives for self-defense.
There is also the earth lotus seed in the lotus platform. This thing is called the Earth Fire Lotus Seed, also known as the Essence of Fire Spirit.
It only forms one grain in a hundred years, and the energy is huge. Even for a Dou Huang realm cultivator, it will have a great effect.
These things, every one of them if taken out, will stir up the Jia ma Empire. Since Chen Feng has come here, he naturally cannot waste these treasures.
Chen Feng knew in his heart that this green lotus is a strange thing of heaven and earth, and all iron touches it will melt. If you want to cut it open, you must use pure jade products to prevent it from being defiled.
Therefore, he who was prepared in advance directly took out a slender jade sword from his storage ring, and then gently stroked the part connected to the root stem under the lotus seat. Immediately, the perfect green lotus, like a work of art, fell off.
As the green lotus fell, Chen Feng beckoned and sucked it over. Then, he took out eleven small jade bottles from his storage ring, carefully picked out the eleven Earth Fire Lotus Seeds in the lotus heart with the jade sword, and put them into the jade bottle.
After packing those Earth Fire Lotus Seeds, Chen Feng collected all the things.
At this moment, the remaining root stems of the green lotus are still madly devouring the fire attribute energy in the surrounding magma.
Although these root stems also have some value, Chen Feng did not collect them. After all, this is a spiritual thing that can only be formed in thousands of years. It is best to leave a line, which is considered a good omen for him.
Although Chen Feng took away the green lotus this time, as long as this root stem is given another thousand years, it can grow a new green lotus.
If he also takes away this root stem, then the Green Lotus Core Fire here may be extinct forever. It is extremely difficult to form again.
"It's time to go!"
Chen Feng withdrew his gaze and did not delay in this place. He directly went to the outside of the green light group. After all, every minute he stayed here, Yao Chen's soul power would consume a little more, which was not worth it.
After leaving this green light group, the two-headed Fire Spirit Snake also followed up, following the route when it came, and went towards the magma above.
At this time, Qing Lin, who was hiding at the entrance of the magma above, also received the message from the two-headed Fire Spirit Snake, knowing that Chen Feng was on his way back.
This experience is something that Qing Lin has never had before. Before, she was a person who was hated by people around her as an ominous person and suffered a lot of discrimination.
Now, what she has come into contact with may be something that those who discriminate against her will never come into contact with in their lifetime.
In the future, she still has the opportunity to become very strong, so that those who originally discriminated against her will be full of awe when they look at her again.
And the one who gave her all this was Chen Feng, so she was full of gratitude to Chen Feng in her heart.
"Thump!"
Just as Qing Lin was feeling emotional, the sound of water breaking echoed again in the cave. Qing Lin hurried to the entrance of the passage and cast her gaze into the magma.
She saw that the figure wrapped in white flames quickly rushed out of the magma.
After leaving the magma, Chen Feng did not stay, shaking the Thunder Wings, and flew straight to Qing Lin.
As Chen Feng landed in the passage, Qing Lin smiled and said, "Master Chen Feng, you should have successfully obtained the different fire, right?"
"Well, very smoothly! The different fire and some other treasures are all in hand!"
Chen Feng nodded with a smile.
"It's good if it goes smoothly!"
Seeing Chen Feng happy, Qing Lin also felt the same happiness in her heart.
"Master~"
The Ghost Flame Cat guarding Qing Lin suddenly made a voice that made people feel numb and came to Chen Feng, shaking its black tail.
Hearing the voice from Ling You, Qing Lin was taken aback for a moment. The charm in Ling You's voice, even women would feel a tingling sensation when they heard it.
"This task is done well, I will reward you well next time!"
Chen Feng gently patted Ling You's head, then stowed it away in the small world.
"Master Chen Feng's skills are amazing!"
Watching Yao Chen's figure instantly disappear, leaving no trace, Qing Lin felt extremely shocked.
She had a rough sense of the Ghost Flame Cat's strength, slightly stronger than Chen Feng, but weaker than the illusory Yao Chen Soul.
What surprised her was the Ghost Flame Cat's ability to speak, a type of magical beast she had never encountered before. Moreover, Chen Feng could easily conceal it in his mysterious space without anyone noticing; that was the most remarkable aspect.
"Qing Lin, let's go up!"
After stowing Yao Chen in the small world, Chen Feng reached out and embraced Qing Lin's slender waist, preparing to leave this underground depth with her.
"Wait, Master!"
"Whoosh, whoosh."
At this moment, Qing Lin quickly whistled towards the magma lake. Suddenly, the cyan light on the forehead of the twin-headed Fire Spirit Snake in the magma surged.
After a moment, its massive body rapidly shrank, turning into a strand of cyan light that shot into Qing Lin's sleeve.
Curiously patting the sleeve, Qing Lin's face revealed a slight smile. She whispered, "Don't be naughty, or Master Chen Feng will be angry, and I'll throw you away!"
"Hiss..."
A faint hissing sound, accompanied by a bit of discontent, suggested that the Fire Spirit Snake was somewhat dissatisfied with its master's disdain.
"Hehe!"
Seeing this, Qing Lin covered her mouth and laughed softly, a bit excited and proud.
Now that she had this twin-headed Fire Spirit Snake as her magical beast servant, even without cultivation, she had the power to protect herself.
"Swoosh!"
The next moment, Chen Feng vibrated his silver wings and swiftly flew along the passage towards the surface.
As Chen Feng, Qing Lin, and the twin-headed Fire Spirit Snake left, the vast magma cavern returned to tranquility.
...
In the depths of the desert, within the territory of the Snake People, a red light in the night sky suddenly stopped.
"Weird, the flame's aura was strong just now. Why can't I sense it at all now?"
Within the red light, a surprised female voice sounded. After a moment, the red light moved again, continuing towards the originally sensed direction.
Chen Feng, after bringing Qing Lin back to the surface, casually filled the passage entrance with sand to conceal any traces, making it impossible for ordinary people to discern.
"Master Chen Feng, where are we going next?" Looking at the sealed passage, Qing Lin asked softly.
"Where to... Of course, back to continue sleeping!"
Upon hearing Qing Lin's question, Chen Feng reached out and flicked her upturned nose, casually saying.
Searching for the Strange Fire just took a short time, so the desert was still in the midst of the night, adorned with only a few starlights.
...
The return of Chen Feng and Qing Lin once again alarmed some people in Stone Desert City, especially City Lord Xu Guang.
Initially, Chen Feng's departure had left him with mixed feelings, and now that Chen Feng returned, it made his emotions even more complex.
Up to now, Xu Guang still hadn't figured out Chen Feng's identity and the purpose of his visit to Stone Desert City.
"Lord, the noble guest who returned during the day has asked the servants to prepare hot water for a bath!"
Suddenly, a middle-aged man dressed as a steward approached Xu Guang and reported.
"Hmm..."
Hearing the steward's report, Xu Guang nodded lightly and then instructed,
"Arrange for some servants to take turns on duty day and night. Any requests from that noble guest must be promptly satisfied!"
"Yes, I'll arrange it immediately!"
Upon hearing Xu Guang's words, the steward dressed in servant attire promptly withdrew.
"I hope this noble guest won't cause any major disruptions in Stone Desert City!"
After the person left, Xu Guang sighed lightly. Although he was the City Lord of Stone Desert City, had reached the level of a Da Dao Shi, and had the support of the Imperial Family, it was still challenging to control those top-tier experts, especially unfamiliar ones, in this remote city.
...
In the room, Chen Feng dismissed the other servants from the city lord's mansion, leaving only Qing Lin.
In a certain part of the room, a luxurious large bathtub had been filled with hot water, accompanied by some fruit plates, snacks, and fine wine.
Qing Lin hesitated for a moment when she learned Chen Feng was preparing to bathe.
Eventually, she made a decision and came to Chen Feng, her well-behaved appearance suggesting,
"Master Chen Feng, may I undress you?"
"Sure!"
Chen Feng nodded, then spread his arms.
Qing Lin extended her small hand, and soon, she helped Chen Feng remove all his clothes. This time, it was different from before, and Chen Feng found himself completely undressed by her.
Watching Chen Feng's well-built body, Qing Lin couldn't help but lower her head, unable to look directly at him. A blush appeared on her face. This kind of situation was the first time for her, after all.
During Qing Lin's lowered gaze, Chen Feng's legs, symmetrical and straight, with dense leg hair, began to move and gradually approached the edge of the bathtub.
"Plunk!"
Realizing that Chen Feng had already soaked in the bathtub, Qing Lin slowly raised her head. She first placed Chen Feng's clothes on a rack, then quickly approached the edge of the bathtub.
At this moment, Qing Lin noticed that Chen Feng was soaking in the tub, his eyes closed.
Now that she was relieved of her nervousness, Qing Lin was no longer as tense. Her gaze swept over Chen Feng's handsome face, then moved down until it stopped at the water's surface.
"At times like this, what should I do?"
"Should I bring the master something to eat? Or help the master wash his body? Or..."
The next moment, Qing Lin's mind kept pondering. This kind of situation was her first experience, so she was worried about not serving Chen Feng well.
