Chapter 176, Tang Gu

"Master, are we really going down?"

After putting on the polar cold marrow jade, although they were no longer suffering from the burning heat, Xia Yang and Xia Xue were a little hesitant when they saw the bottomless rock valley that looked like an abyss.

You know, if you continue going down, besides being threatened by strange fire, you will also be affected by demonic energy.

Baili Changfeng was actually a little unsure, but the demons had already sneaked into the center of the formation, and he had to stop them. Moreover, there were demon-suppressing guards guarding outside the formation, and they could not withstand the spiritual attacks of the demon-suppressing guards.

With the presence of the Nascent Soul cultivator, plus some magical weapons he carries with him, they should be able to support them in reaching the center of the formation.

Seeing that the two disciples were about to retreat, Hua Changxi's expression was unclear, so Baili Changfeng could only ask: "Do you know where the bottom is?"

Hearing this, Hua Changxi, Xia Yang and Xia Xue looked over at the same time, not understanding why Baili Changfeng asked this.

Xia Yang: "The center of the formation."

Baili Changfeng: "This center of the formation was called Tanggu in ancient times."

Xia Yang and Xia Xue exclaimed at the same time: "Is Tanggu down there?"

The two of them obviously knew Tangu.

Xia Xue suddenly realized, "Yes, isn't Tanggu the place where the sacred Fusang tree grows?"

Xia Yang looked a little excited: "Master, there are records in ancient books that say there is a pre-natal hot spring bath in Tang Valley, which is the place where the sun bathed in the ancient times. Is this true?"

Baili Changfeng: "There is indeed a hot spring bath in the hot spring valley, but I don't know if it is a place for sun bathing. However, the hot spring bath is definitely a blessed place for cultivators with fire spiritual roots. As long as you can withstand the tempering of the hot spring bath, the quality of your spiritual roots will be greatly improved, and you may even be able to shape a fire spiritual body."

Hearing this, Xia Yang and Xia Xue could no longer remain calm.

They are cultivators with fire spiritual roots. Although the quality of their spiritual roots is good, it is definitely not good enough compared to the fire spiritual body.

If they can create a fire spirit body, their cultivation talent will definitely improve greatly.

Looking at the two excited disciples, Baili Changfeng poured a basin of cold water on them: "Since it is said that the hot spring bath is a place where the sun bathes, the temperature inside must be very high. Not everyone can withstand the tempering."

After hearing this, Xia Yang and Xia Xue, who were originally excited, suddenly wilted.

Yes, they can’t even withstand the strange fire, how can they withstand the high temperature in the hot spring bath?

Baili Changfeng looked at Hua Changxi and said, "Senior, you are very powerful. After you get rid of the six monsters, you can try the hot spring bath. It will definitely be beneficial." He said this in order to use the benefits of the hot spring to keep her hanging, so that she would not give up halfway if she encountered danger later.

Hua Changxi had been silent the whole time, silently listening to the conversation between the master and his disciples. When he heard Baili Changfeng say this, he frowned and said, "Daoyou Baili came here specifically to stop Lu Yan. Are you all from the Saint Qi Palace?"

Baili Changfeng paused, not understanding why Hua Changxi suddenly mentioned Lu Yan, but nodded: "Yes, Lu Yan and I are both direct descendants of the Saint Artifact Palace."

Hua Changxi: "The four great holy places are each responsible for suppressing a formation's core, and the Saint Weapon Palace is responsible for suppressing this formation's core."

Baili Changfeng nodded.

Hua Changxi: "Those few demon tribe members were brought here by Lu Yan. In other words, the instability of this formation core came from the turmoil within the Saint Qi Palace. Am I right?"

Baili Changfeng's expression changed, but he nodded again: "What do you want to say, Senior?"

Hua Changxi: "Since the instability of this formation's core is caused by the chaos within your group, then it is your responsibility to deal with those demons. I just ran into you by chance. I can help you because we are both human, but it is not my responsibility to deal with those demons."

Hearing this, Baili Changfeng and the other two changed their expressions. Hua Changxi continued, "The Tang Valley is full of strange fires. Those demon tribe members dared to go down there before, so they must have something to rely on. Daoist Baili, you must be mentally prepared."

"No one knows what's going on below Tang Valley. All I can do is to help you if I have the energy to do so. You have to deal with those monsters on your own. Don't pin your hopes on me."

An unstable core of the formation would threaten the human world. Now that she has encountered it, she will definitely not ignore it, but she still has to distinguish the primary and secondary responsibilities in dealing with the demon followers.

Baili Changfeng was directly exposed by Hua Changxi's thoughts, and his expression was a little embarrassed: "Of course."

Xia Yang looked a little angry: "It is everyone's responsibility to protect the center of the formation. If the evil spirit spreads to the human world, Senior will not be able to escape and will be affected. I thought Senior was a man of high moral character, but I didn't expect that he is a selfish person who only cares about himself."

When Hua Changxi heard him say this, his face turned cold, and he released his spiritual pressure, directly pressing Xia Yang to the ground: "It's not your turn to comment on what kind of person I am."

Baili Changfeng saw this and immediately stood in front of Xia Yang, taking the spiritual pressure for him, and said anxiously: "Senior, my disciple speaks without restraint, you must not take it seriously."

Hua Changxi looked at Baili Changfeng until a thin layer of sweat oozed out of his forehead, then he withdrew his spiritual pressure and sneered, "I have seen many cowards who like to push the responsibility onto others. If I really want to make a fuss, I think it will dirty my hands."

When Xia Yang heard Hua Changxi say that he was a coward, he was very unconvinced. He wanted to defend himself, but his master and junior sister were glaring at him, so he could only shut his mouth in angrily.

Baili Changfeng finally said something for his disciple: "My disciple is just too concerned and confused."

Hua Changxi didn't buy it: "He can care about the world, but he shouldn't pass on the responsibility of caring about the world to others. When others don't meet his expectations, he flatters and belittles them. Does he really think that others are fools?"

Baili Changfeng stopped talking.

Hua Changxi tightly grasped the Floating Light Sword, suppressing its vibrations, and holding the Polar Cold Marrow Jade, he said, "I have no obligation to protect you. I'll be responsible for clearing the way after taking your things, and try to stop the strange fire. As for other dangers, you can take care of yourselves."

Having said that, he walked forward.

Seeing this, Baili Changfeng glared at Xia Yang fiercely, then hurriedly followed with his two disciples.

Without the Nascent Soul cultivators leading the way, they might not be able to reach the bottom of Tang Valley.

Before, when climbing up from outside the crater, the colors of the strange fire were mainly red, orange and yellow. But now, when going from the top of the crater to the inside of the crater, just after passing the flat outer edge and starting to walk down, the first ray of strange fire that appeared was green.

"Red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, blue, and purple?"

When the red, orange and yellow colored strange fire appeared, Hua Changxi thought it might be a coincidence, but now that the green strange fire appeared, she couldn't help but think of the color sequence of natural light.

As soon as the green flame appeared, Hua Changxi felt a sense of closeness in his heart.

Alchemy fire is green. Although this green flame is not alchemy fire, it carries a strong aroma of plants and woods. It can definitely improve the quality of alchemy when used to assist in alchemy. For alchemists, it is undoubtedly a rare treasure.

Just like before, Hua Changxi first subdued a wisp of green flame and incorporated it into his dantian, and then helped the Floating Light Sword absorb the green flame.

Going down all the way, just as Hua Changxi guessed, after the green flame, there was a blue flame, after the blue flame, there was a blue flame, and after the blue flame, there was a purple flame.

Hua Changxi felt a little strenuous when absorbing the blue flame into her dantian, and it took her a lot of effort to subdue the purple flame.

As soon as the purple flame entered the Dantian, the sea of Qi suddenly began to boil, and there were signs of instability. Hua Changxi also clearly felt a stinging pain in the Dantian.

At this time, the Five Finger Mountain Seal that had been hidden in the Qi Sea flew out, and then, a vast mountain-like force radiated out quickly, suppressing the boiling and surging Qi Sea.

The Qi Hai returned to calm, and the pain in Dantian slowly disappeared.
