The three of them were flushed crimson, a clear sign that the power of the Fire God Little Thousand World hadn’t fully dissipated. They felt a great sense of relief upon returning. That damned place had been far too hot; even for them, users of the Five Elents Master Fla, it had been a bit much to handle.
"ngzi, how was it? How was it? Was the Fire God Little Thousand World fun?"
"It was fun, especially if you enjoy roasting your little bird," Wang ng said with a laugh.
"Damn! The fact that you’re still in the mood to tease ans you must have pulled it off!"
Fan Hong chuckled. "Let’s see it, then. I’ve never seen a Thousand Tempered Fire Spirit Stone before!"
Li Tianyi and Mingren had been too far away to see clearly. All they knew was that Wang ng had picked up a few things and seed to have retrieved sothing from the Sea of Fire.
Wang ng took it out of his Qiankun Bag. Instantly, the entire room was bathed in a red glow, filled with a dense Power of Fire.
"Holy crap, it really is a Thousand Tempered Fire Spirit Stone! And top quality, too! How did you guys get it? This is amazing! You can usually only find this quality near the Sea of Fire!"
"I just picked it up on the shore of the Sea of Fire. I guess a wave must have washed it up from inside," Wang ng said.
Instantly, everyone stared at Wang ng. Jiangg Qingqing, who hadn’t had a chance to speak yet, was especially dumbfounded. She had co uninvited, worried sick when she heard Wang ng had gone to the Fire God Little Thousand World.
"...No way. How could you possibly get in there? Normally, people get Thousand Tempered Fire Spirit Stones by hunting the Exotic Beasts that often carry them out," Jiangg Qingqing said, her eyes wide.
Wang ng shrugged helplessly. "Nobody told us."
The others all chid in that they didn’t know either. Jiangg Qingqing was speechless. ’That actually worked?!’
"Haha, that’s what you call fate! Now the second condition is t, with only the last one to go. Senior Sister Jiangg, do you have any pretty junior sisters in the Red Beauty Sect who haven’t joined a faction yet? Why not have them join our Holy Hall Faction? We’re definitely a group with potential, a boundless future!" Fan Hong imdiately seized the opportunity to recruit.
Jiangg Qingqing let out a laugh. "You’ll have to wait until the Holy Hall is firmly established. When a new faction is officially ford, it’s bound to face challenges."
"Tch! Who have we ever been afraid of!"
"Heh, this won’t be like dealing with those grunts from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. By the way, I almost forgot sothing. Wang ng, Sister Yuyue asked to pass a ssage to you. The remnants of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect have all joined the Demon Refining Faction and are now under the protection of the Crimson Refining Demon Monarch, Luo Xian. This man is incredibly arrogant and vindictive. If you want the Holy Hall Faction to be established peacefully, it’s best to hold off on dealing with the Ten Thousand Demons Sect for now," Jiangg Qingqing said.
Hex Zui was taken aback. "Luo Xian? Why would he accept people from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect?"
Jiangg Qingqing smiled. "Why turn away lackeys who deliver themselves to your doorstep? Besides, the Ten Thousand Demons Sect gave Luo Xian a treasure that pleased him greatly. You know as well as I do that Luo Xian is famous for his greed and lust."
"Please thank your friend for us," Hex Zui said. The information was crucial. They hadn’t made any moves in the past few days, but if they had acted rashly, the few of them from the Holy Hall truly wouldn’t have been able to withstand the consequences.
Jiangg Qingqing gave a charming smile and floated away.
"Wang ng, you guys should rest for now. There’s no rush."
Wang ng nodded. Although they hadn’t spent much ti in the Fire God Little Thousand World, the physical strain on the three of them had been imnse.
Wang ng took a few steps, but a sudden wave of weakness washed over him. Ma Tian’Er, who was beside him, quickly caught him. Wang ng rubbed his head. "I’m fine, just a little tired."
"Let help you go rest," Ma Tian’Er said.
"Junior Sister Ma, you’re a Pill Cultivator, so you’re the perfect person to look after Wang ng. Contact us if anything happens. I’m going to scout out the situation with the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. Junior Brother Li, Mingren, are you two alright?"
Li Tianyi shrugged. "We were just watching. We’re fine."
"Wang ng probably got too close to the Sea of Fire. He’s overexerted and needs to rest," Mingren said.
"Alright. Fan Hong, let’s go to the Hundred Battles Pavilion to report in and avoid any complications."
"You got it!"
Ma Tian’Er helped Wang ng into the Quiet Chamber inside. It really was much more convenient now that the Holy Hall had its own place.
He hadn’t felt much before, but suddenly Wang ng felt as if he had just fought a massive battle. Every bone in his body ached.
After the others had gone, he nearly collapsed. He had only been forcing himself to stand strong so they wouldn’t worry.
"Don’t tell the others. Just let rest for a bit, I’ll be fine," Wang ng said groggily.
Ma Tian’Er was no longer the little girl who could only worry. She imdiately placed a hand on Wang ng’s Sea of Heart and began to slowly channel her Elental Power into him. But the mont she made contact, it was like dry tinder eting a raging fire; she instantly snatched her hand back from the searing heat.
Wang ng had communicated with the Sea of Fire Consciousness. While his consciousness was at a high level, his Elental Power was far too weak in comparison. When he had approached the Sea of Fire, despite having taken a Fire-Extinguishing Pill and being protected by a Fire-Resistant Shield, he hadn’t been immune to the Fire Poison.
Ma Tian’Er fed Wang ng a Fire-Extinguishing Pill, but she still couldn’t make contact with her own Elental Power. Her Wood Elent power eting his Fire Elent problem was like adding fuel to the flas.
In the Cultivation Academy, one could only pray for the best in a situation like this. Wang ng’s condition was clearly an invasion of fire poison.
The Fire-Extinguishing Pill wasn’t having much effect. Wang ng’s body was flushed crimson, and his condition seed to be worsening.
His body was burning hot, yet not a single drop of sweat appeared. Ma Tian’Er knew she had to expel the Fire Poison, but her affinity was with the Wood Elent of the Five Elents, not Water.
Torn and seeing the pained look on Wang ng’s face, Ma Tian’Er gritted her teeth, pressed her hands to his chest, and slowly channeled her Elental Power.
As soon as the Fire Poison ca into contact with the Wood Elent Elental Power, it imdiately surged out and began to spread toward Ma Tian’Er’s body.
Ma Tian’Er’s constitution wasn’t strong enough to completely extinguish this kind of Fire Poison, but she could draw it out of him.
At this mont, however, Wang ng was in another state entirely. His exchange with the Sea of Fire Consciousness had caused his recently acquired Fire Jade Technique to instantly reach the Realm of Perfection. The surge of power had been too fierce, however, and his body couldn’t adapt to it all at once. The residual Fire Poison also needed to be expelled bit by bit.
