Chapter 321: The Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid Hall
Translator: Cinder Translations
Jie Hui raised his hand and recalled the lone skeletal ghost.
He then took out a hand drum.
The drum body was pale white, made from a skull, and the drum skin was thin and black, made from human skin.
He held the drum in one hand and lightly tapped it with the other.
"Boom..."
A deep, distant drum sound echoed.
Just as the Red Fire Lizard was about to spray lava again, it suddenly froze in place.
Afterward, it seemed to have seen something terrifying, its eyes revealing a human-like fear.
It hurriedly flailed its limbs and swished its tail, diving deep into the lava.
Seeing this, Jie Hui sneered.
"Against such a low-intelligence beast, mental attacks are indeed effective immediately."
While Jie Hui was entangled with the Red Fire Lizard, Feng Qi took the opportunity to gather the Fire Lin Wood.
In each of his hands, he shot out a fire chain.
The fire chains quickly extended and wrapped around two mature Fire Lin Wood trees.
Like a spirit snake capturing its prey, the fire chains tightly coiled around the Fire Lin Wood.
Flames burned fiercely on the chains, yet they did not harm the Fire Lin Wood in the slightest.
Feng Qi exerted all his strength, pulling hard on the fire chains.
The two Fire Lin Wood trees were uprooted.
Dragged by the fire chains, they landed in Feng Qi's hands.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
At that moment.
Jie Hui had just forced back the Red Fire Lizard.
He happened to see Feng Qi holding the two Fire Lin Wood trees.
"Feng benefactor, we had just agreed to work together to obtain the Fire Lin Wood, each getting one afterward. You wouldn't go back on your word, would you?"
As he spoke, an ominous aura emerged from Jie Hui, who had a compassionate expression.
The beads in his hand were constantly being manipulated, and a thick ghostly energy was emanating from them.
Intense killing intent and sinister energy surged toward Feng Qi.
Jie Se and Jie Wu, exuding a strong Buddhist aura, gradually approached while fending off the surrounding Molten Flame Fish.
Feng Qi frowned, his expression shifting. In the end, he raised his hand and threw one of the Fire Lin Wood trees to Jie Hui.
After weighing it carefully and confirming that the other party was stronger, Feng Qi suppressed his greed and honored their agreement.
Feng Qi waved to the distant Leng Tianlu and the masked man.
Then, he transformed into a red blur, turning to flee through the tunnel where Lei Yuhua had left.
Seeing this, Leng Tianlu and the masked man also soared into the air, chasing after Feng Qi.
Jie Hui received the tossed Fire Lin Wood and watched as Feng Qi and the others left,
preparing to stop them.
At this moment, Jie Se and Jie Wu approached.
"Jie Hui, are we just going to let him easily take away a Fire Lin Wood?"
Jie Se said, somewhat unwilling.
Jie Hui replied, "This person's fire-based techniques are superb. In this lava cavern, his fire- based techniques have received a significant boost. It's not wise to clash with him here."
"Moreover..."
Jie Hui shifted his tone and continued.
"Our acquisition of the Fire Lin Wood is entrusted to us by Master Hui Ming. Now that we have obtained one, we've completed the task. There's no need to cause unnecessary trouble over something that is of no use to us. We should hurry to the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid Hall and seize the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid."

After speaking, he beckoned Jie Wu and Jie se to follow Feng Qi and the others, disappearing into the lava cavern.
Having hidden in the shadows for a while without gaining anything, Song Wen left the lava
cavern.
He gazed at the twenty or so still-maturing Fire Lin Wood trees on the small island in the center of the cavern for a long time.
In the end, Song Wen did not gather them.
Once the Fire Lin Wood leaves this place, it becomes extremely difficult to plant it and keep it
alive.
Of course, there are no absolutes.
However, the effort and spirit stones required to transplant Fire Lin Wood far exceed its
intrinsic value.
This is also why Feng Qi and the others only took the mature Fire Lin Wood and ignored those
that were still maturing.
This can be considered a customary agreement among major righteous sects.
The still-maturing Fire Lin Wood has little use; depleting resources for oneself is not beneficial, and it's better to leave it for future generations.
Song Wen used the Thunder Escape Technique to traverse the lava cavern, continuing to follow behind Jie Hui and the others toward the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid Hall.
The passage was complex and twisted, yet Jie Hui showed no hesitation at every fork, appearing completely familiar with the underground tunnels.
Following Jie Hui and the others saved Song Wen a considerable amount of time.
Before long, a vast underground cavern appeared before Song Wen.
The cavern was several dozen meters wide, with cliffs surrounding its edges that descended
into darkness.
In the center of the cavern stood a tall stone mountain, rising dramatically, standing alone in
the cavern.
On top of the stone mountain was an imposing grand hall.
The stone doors of the hall were wide open, revealing bright flames within.
Through the firelight, one could vaguely see shadows moving inside the palace.
Song Wen leaped into the air, arriving outside the stone hall.
Standing outside the door, Song Wen felt an ancient, weathered aura rush toward him, mixed
with an extremely pure spiritual energy.
Song Wen stepped into the grand hall.
Inside the grand hall, aside from the pillars supporting the ceiling, there were no furnishings.
On the walls surrounding the hall, several oil lamps were placed.
These oil lamps burned brightly, illuminating the hall with their light.
Surrounding the edges of the hall's floor were ten stone mats, forming a perfect circle.
The mats were spaced about a meter apart.
In front of each mat sat a stone bowl.
Both the stone mats and the stone bowls were firmly connected to the ground, making them
difficult to move.
Within the hall, there were nearly ten cultivators.
They either occupied a mat alone or cooperated to share one.
Among them, many were individuals that Song Wen recognized.
Rong Jingyun sat on one mat, with her companion Heng Cheng quietly standing behind her.
Jie Hui and his companions occupied another mat.
Lei Yuhua was also present, similarly occupying one mat.
Mu Yunxin, whom Song Wen had seen before at the He Huan Spring Night Tower, also
appeared here, occupying a mat by herself.
The six cultivators who had previously robbed Song Wen shared one mat.
To Song Wen's surprise, Ji Ruxue was also here, sitting alone on a mat next to Mu Yunxin.
The last time Song Wen saw her, she was a mid-foundation cultivator; now, she had advanced
to late foundation.
Additionally, four late-foundation cultivators from the Lei family shared a mat on the right
side of Lei Yuhua.
There was also a bearded man occupying a mat, whose attire indicated he was a disciple of the
Profound Heaven Sword Sect; he was a peak foundation cultivator.
All ten mats were occupied, leaving two vacant.
Among the nineteen people in the hall, the lowest cultivation level was late foundation.
Moreover, except for Ji Ruxue, only peak foundation cultivators occupied a mat alone.
Late foundation cultivators shared a mat.
Even if a mat was empty, they still took the liberty of occupying it.
As Song Wen entered the grand hall, he instantly attracted everyone's attention.
This was due to one reason.
Song Wen's displayed cultivation level was only at mid-foundation.
