Good news for collectors

Chapter 22

July and August are the hottest seasons in Nanzhanbuzhou. The cicadas lie on the tree trunks and sing crisply, and a sultry atmosphere rises from the ground, which almost faints passers-by.

"Master, be careful."

Qingfeng stopped in an open space, and lowered his body so that Yin Ning could jump off his back smoothly.

"You fly so fast, you will arrive in half a day." Yin Ning stretched out his hand to touch the thick feathers on his wings, "I want to praise you."

Since he confirmed his plan to come to the Sea of ​​Magma, he went to the Library Pavilion for several days to look through the maps and customs notes, and then he found an excuse to sneak out from the teacher's door.

Fortunately, the breeze flies fast, and it only takes one day to go back and forth, as long as you try not to delay here, maybe the head of the house won't even notice whether he left the mountain or not.

This sea of ​​magma is just on the border of Nanzhan Buzhou. Most ordinary people can't stand the high temperature here all year round. Only some sturdy nomads are not afraid of the scorching heat and make a living by catching wild animals and reselling them.

Surrounding this sea of ​​magma, there will be many beasts with mutated physiques along the way. These beasts are strong, and the nutrition of a piece of meat is several times that of ordinary beasts. It is very nourishing, and the supply in the market has always been in short supply.

This is probably also the invisible influence of the Hellfire Lotus.

Thinking of this, Yin Ning's eyes lit up, subconsciously looking for "Snow Clothes" on the nearby stalls.

"Snow clothing" is a local characteristic clothing. It is a cloak made of heat-insulating material. After wearing it, you can walk freely in the outer area of ​​the magma sea without being affected by the heat of magma. Here it is almost One piece per person.

"Yes." Yin Ning pointed to the front and said, "Let's go and buy some clothes."

Qingfeng calmed down, and walked behind Yin Ning. There are no luxurious shops here, most of them are on-site stalls, and they close the stalls as soon as the goods are sold out. It is very convenient to try on snow clothes. Put a set on your body You know if it fits, and there are children's ones. Yin Ning picked up one, put on the hat, and buckled the lower hat to cover his mouth. Most of his face was hidden in the wide shadow of the hat, leaving only a pair of hats. Blinking and blinking outside, he asked the stall owner, "Is that how you wear it?"

"Yes, yes, children need to be covered tightly so they won't suffer from heat stroke." The stall owner lowered his head and picked out an adult's dress, and showed it to Qingfeng courteously, "This should be just right for you to wear."

"..." Qingfeng frowned in confusion. The clothes were obviously made for normal people, but he still had a pair of wings...

"Just cut two holes at the back." Yin Ning felt that his suggestion was so clever, he was like a fashion designer in the realm of comprehension.

By the way, he helped Qingfeng solve the problem of clothes, and he bought a few water storage beads by the way, put one in his mouth, and stuffed another one for Qingfeng, "Here, here you are, the area where you enter the sea of ​​magma is It's easy to get dehydrated."

"Well……"

The water storage beads slipped into the throat unexpectedly, Qingfeng's throat moved, and the slippery beads were bounced out again, Qingfeng's face was slightly scalded, and he mumbled: "Thank you."

"You're welcome, I'm your master." Yin Ning lay on his back, speaking as if chewing bubble gum, "Boss protects the safety of his subordinates, it's only right and proper."

You're not a boss, you're just a kid.

Qingfeng thought dissatisfiedly in her heart, but suddenly felt her Adam's apple was scratched.

so itchy...

Qingfeng tilted her head uncomfortably, "You... what are you doing?"

"I want to grow this too." Yin Ning looked envious, he still speaks in a childish voice now, it is really too lacking in majesty.

"There will be in the future." Qingfeng lowered his voice and flapped his wings harder, "Where are we going to stop?"

"Let me see……"

Yin Ning looked down at the sea of ​​magma and flames below, his eyes were almost stung by the scorching brilliance.

It's so hot, if you don't wear a snow suit, normal people can't bear this kind of heat at all, it is indeed the place where the god hellfire lotus grows and blooms.

"Just stop there." He pointed to a big rock that was shaking slightly in the hot flow of magma. The breeze nodded, slowed down the flying speed, and slowly fell onto the rock.

"It's hot."

The soles of his feet were hot, and Yin Ning frowned, feeling that the stones were also rising and falling with the flow of magma.

This should be the magma drift described in the original book. These stones will drift circularly around the place where the Hellfire Lotus is located according to a specific trajectory.

And standing on these rocks is not absolutely safe, because under the sea of ​​magma, there is actually an active volcano hidden, which will erupt at any time, so the monks in the qi refining period who cannot fly with the sword, coming here is equivalent to death .

Yin Ning and Qingfeng stood on the boulder and drifted for a long time, when they suddenly felt a violent shaking from the bottom of their feet.

"Be careful!" Qingfeng grabbed Yin Ning's shoulders and flew him out. Turning his head, he saw that the big rock had been sucked into the bottom of the sea by a mysterious force, and it was nowhere to be seen.

"It's really too dangerous." Qingfeng couldn't help but feel a little scared, if his reaction was slower, the two of them might have been roasted long ago.

"Hold me tight." He couldn't help lifting Yin Ning a little higher. This child looked too weak on the surface, making people unconsciously want to protect him.

Just in front of him, there was another place to stay. He flapped his wings and landed on it, but he refused to let him down no matter what.

Not being able to fly in this world is really a birth defect...

Yin Ning burst into tears silently in her heart, hugged Birdman's neck in embarrassment, and at the same time observed the surrounding scene.

The magma in this area seems to be more intense in color.

Hellfire lotus grows in the hottest place, and the current situation shows that they are gradually approaching their destination.

Yin Ning took a deep breath nervously, not even daring to blink his eyes.

The closer you get to the hellfire lotus, the faster the magma will drift, and there will be a mysterious airflow in that place to prevent the flight. If you miss it, you will have to go to the next circular drift.

In the original book, Chu Tianyue and Ji Changhua suffered losses three times because of this reason, and Yin Ning did not want the lessons learned from the past to repeat themselves at all.

"puff--"

The magma underneath was suddenly bubbling like a frying pan, Yin Ning clenched his fists, and the shape of flower petals flashed before his eyes, and he yelled, "Quick, fly!"

A mysterious air flow swept over in an instant, Yin Ning felt as if he was rolling around in a front-loading washing machine, his face was wrinkled into a ball, he hummed uncomfortably, and suddenly felt that the air flow around him was calm up.

"Okay, it's all right." Qingfeng's lips seemed to be sticking to his ear, Yin Ning opened his eyes suddenly, the cap of the snow cloak had been blown away, and the hair that was tied well was messed up , looks like an unruly wild child.

Qingfeng couldn't help suppressing a smile, Yin Ning rolled his eyes, and then his eyes were attracted by the enchanting magic flower not far away.

It's so big, even bigger than the lotus platform that monks sit on.

The color is also different from the general red lotus, it is blazing like fire, and every swaying gesture in the wind reveals a charming and coquettish charm.

"It's so beautiful..." Qingfeng seemed to be bewitched, and walked over there with straight eyes.

"Impossible!" Yin Ning hurriedly grabbed him desperately. The demonic nature of this Hellfire Lotus is very domineering, just like its name, if you are accidentally bewitched by it, you will be burned to death by the demonic fire from hell .

A coquettish bitch among herbs.

Yin Ning bit her lip, restraining her desire to peek over there, took out a few water drops from the bag, and hit them on the petals.

Water overcomes fire. This water storage drop contains a lot of water. Hellfire lotus has never been exposed to so much water since its birth.

Yin Ning regained his composure, walked over slowly, touching the petals with both hands, trying to uproot it and put it into the Qiankun bag.

"Wait a minute..." Hellfire Lotus spoke in his mind, "I have been waiting for my destined master, you are not, so you can't take me away!"

"Oh?" Yin Ning raised his eyebrows, "I have the ability to take you away, I am your master."

"No, this is against the way of heaven." Hellfire Lotus seemed to be about to cry, "Heaven told me to wait at least 100 years to wait for my master, you took me away, I will not be able to wait for the destined person gone."

Could this be the influence of the plot in the dark?

Yin Ning's movements paused, and Hellfire Lotus took the opportunity to say: "You are not a demon cultivator, it is useless to take me away, and I will wither immediately after I leave here, do you know how to breed me?"

Yin Ning was silent for a moment, "... I don't know."

"I can send you out immediately, and I can also give you the lotus seeds on my body." Hellfire Lotus tried to seduce him with benefits, "As long as you let me go, I can also use the petals to make a magic weapon for you."

"You promised so many benefits..." Yin Ning suddenly stretched out his hand, "But as long as your body is in my hands, I can have as many lotus seeds as I want, and I can use as many petals as I want, so why don't I Take you away directly, and I know that your habits are cunning, you are the most deceptive flower, I don't even believe a single punctuation mark in what you say."

"Stupid human being, you will pay for what you did today!" Hellfire Lotus began to threaten him, Yin Ning smiled disdainfully, pulled the flower up by the root, put it into the Qiankun bag, Binding tightly, climbed onto Qingfeng's back, "Okay, let's go back."

……

After successfully returning from the sea of ​​magma, Yin Ning planted the Hellfire Lotus in his garden, and the Hellfire Lotus cried and wanted to go back every day, making Yin Ning look like a bully who robbed someone else's daughter-in-law.

"If you cry again, I'll eat you." Yin Ning peeled off a lotus seed and put it in his mouth, it was sweet and sweet.

"Fortune, I'll give you one." He picked up another lotus seed and threw it in the air, and the little hamster screamed happily.

Although this lotus belongs to fire, it is the body of grass and trees. Yin Ning's wood-type aura has been nourished by lotus seeds recently, and there are faint signs of breakthrough.

This speed is terrible.

"Could it be that my apprentice is really a peerless genius?"

The master was so excited that even his hands trembled, he looked at the jade slips placed on the desk, on which were engraved the progress of the disciples who would regularly report to the main sect of Luofu Mountain every year.

Ning'er's current progress is so fast, even compared to the elite disciples of this sect, as long as he reports this progress, the people of this sect will definitely notice...

For some reason, this time, the head didn't report Yin Ning's progress truthfully.

"that's it?"

The steward who was in charge of receiving them rode a crane, and the head of the sect said courteously: "The progress of this year's disciples has been written in detail on it, Mr. Liu please take a look."

"No need, we are old friends, I can trust you." Mr. Liu nodded friendly to him, and drove the crane back to the main sect of Luofu Mountain, but happened to see a young man, his eyes suddenly lit up, this person was just a while ago Lu Zhen, who came up from a branch, is now a big celebrity in this sect, the only disciple under the name of Master Yuqing.

"Nephew Lu, you came just in time. Can you bring these jade slips to Daoist Yuqing for me?" Mr. Liu stopped him, Lu Zhen was stunned, and took the jade slips, "This is it?"

"This is the progress reported by the branch disciples every year, and it can be regarded as your former fellow disciple."

Was it my former classmate? I still miss it a little...

Holding the jade slip, Lu Zhen suddenly blushed when he passed by a place where no one was around, and said to himself, "I'll take a sneak peek at the progress of my junior brother, just take a look."

He opened the jade slip carefully, and suddenly froze when he found Yin Ning's name.

The second floor of Qi Refining.

Impossible, when he left the branch, Yin Ning had already reached the third level of Qi Refining Stage.

Why did the leader deliberately hide this...

Lu Zhen's eyes drooped, he pondered for a while, and decided to forget about it.

After all, the head of the sect used to be his master, and he was so kind to him, and——

There are too many excellent people here, if the junior brother comes, he may never be seen again.
