Chapter 123: Extreme Cold Nine-colored Spirit Grass

I originally thought this light gate should have some seal or mechanism on it, but when Jiliu Jia’s divine sense scanned it, there was nothing. This was an ordinary light gate. His body suddenly rushed forward and he plunged in.

After entering the light gate, Jiliu Jia stood stunned on the ground. The entire space exuded colorful light. Two figures appeared behind Jiliu Jia, and they were both stunned for a moment. After a while, Mei Jier whispered, “Are those all Extreme Cold Nine-Colored Spirit Grass?”

The three of them were currently in a space devoid of a single drop of water. The space was vast and extremely cold, even more so than the previous azure blue pool water. Not far away was a black cauldron. The black cauldron was not large, less than a meter high. Compared to ordinary medicine cauldrons, the biggest difference was that this black cauldron was filled with azure blue water, exactly the same as the lake water before.

And on the surface of the water in this black cauldron, a cluster of colorful grass was growing. Each blade of grass had a different light emanating from its leaves, and a faint fragrance could be smelled.

In the distance were four platforms, each with a similar black cauldron. However, the cauldrons contained neither water nor the colorful grass. Looking further into the distance, there were two thick stone pillars, and each pillar also had a black cauldron placed on top. Although it was not visible whether there was anything in the cauldrons, Jiliu Jia could feel that magic power was constantly emanating from those two black cauldrons.

Jiliu Jia’s gaze returned to the colorful grass, and a faint smile appeared on his face. “I think that thing should be the Extreme Cold Spirit Grass!” As soon as he finished speaking, a disdainful snort was heard, it was Bing Han Yanyan, “Brat, have you ever seen the real thing? Don’t talk nonsense if you haven’t seen it!”

Jiliu Jia was stunned. “This isn’t it?”

“How would I know? Although I’ve eaten it, I’ve never seen what it looks like before it’s made into a pill!”

Jiliu Jia was speechless. He swept his divine sense, and a smile immediately appeared on his face. “There are a total of nine branches of Extreme Cold Nine-Colored Spirit Grass. We only need to take these nine branches. Nine branches are enough for us to use. The rest can be left here!” In fact, Jiliu Jia needed one branch, Mei Yan’er needed two branches, and Bing Han Yanyan needed two colorful branches. However, since there was nine-colored grass, its effect would naturally be better. So, in total, only five branches were needed. Now that there were nine branches, it meant that the three of them had indeed made a profit this time.

It was just that the three of them didn’t know that the cluster of Extreme Cold Spirit Grass in front of them had been growing for nearly a thousand years. In a thousand years, only nine branches of Extreme Cold Nine-Colored Spirit Grass had grown, averaging one branch in over a hundred years. However, Jiliu Jia clearly didn’t have this awareness. He reached out his hand, and the nine branches of Extreme Cold Nine-Colored Spirit Grass were already stored in his ring.

“Hey, why did you take them all? You can’t possibly use them all!” Bing Han Yanyan was somewhat angry to see Jiliu Jia put all the nine-colored ones into his own ring. If these things were taken outside, they could definitely cause a huge sensation, and then she could exchange them for whatever she wanted.

However, Jiliu Jia was not polite. “I’m helping you detoxify, shouldn’t I charge a fee? Besides, what if the alchemy fails the first time!” Thinking of this, Jiliu Jia’s eyebrows slightly raised. He thought that if the alchemy really failed, it would be troublesome to come back and get more. Therefore, Jiliu Jia also picked three branches of eight-colored and seven-colored grass and put them into his ring.

“Hey, you won’t let us take them, but you took so many yourself! You’re such a scoundrel, I want some too!” Bing Han Yanyan said and went to pick the Extreme Cold Spirit Grass.

In this regard, Mei Jier truly did not have the feeling of finding a treasure. In fact, if she wanted to go home, someone in her clan would naturally treat Mei Yan’er. It was just that Mei Jier did not want to go home. At least she felt that unless Mei Yan’er’s poison was about to act up and had not yet been removed, she would consider returning to the clan.

Mei Jier’s inner thoughts were naturally not told to these two. To put it simply, the three of them were in a cooperative relationship at this moment. Once Mei Yan’er’s poison was cured, it would be time for them to part ways with these two.

However, before Bing Han Yanyan could get her hands on it, they heard rustling sounds coming from the darkness. The three of them were startled and turned their gaze in the direction of the sound.

Jiliu Jia flicked his hand, and a blue flame shot out. Under the illumination of the flames, the three of them saw clearly what the sound was. A large group of colorful eight-legged spiders was rapidly crawling towards them, their numbers absolutely astonishing, stretching as far as the eye could see, densely packed.

“Five-Colored Poisonous Spiders! How did they appear here!” Jiliu Jia naturally recognized these Five-Colored Poisonous Spiders.

While speaking, the Five-Colored Poisonous Spiders had already arrived in front of the three of them. Streams of green liquid were sprayed out. Jiliu Jia was immune to all poisons, but the other two women were not. Their figures rapidly retreated. “We’ve already found the Extreme Cold Nine-Colored Spirit Grass, let’s go out now. I’m not in the mood to fight these damned bugs to the death.”

In fact, Jiliu Jia was thinking the same thing. However, when he turned to look at the light gate, he was dumbfounded. The light gate was gone. He let out a wry smile and shook his head. “If you have the ability to forge light gates, I don’t mind going out with you, but you have to hurry!” As he spoke, Jiliu Jia’s palms suddenly unleashed two balls of green water flames, and he let out a low roar, “Water Demon Burst!”

With a boom, the Water Demon Burst was released, and a large area of Five-Colored Poisonous Spiders perished in the Water Demon Burst. Bing Han Yanyan and Mei Jier both discovered that the light gate had disappeared. If they wanted to get out, the only way was to move forward.

“Brat, are you messing with me? If I had the ability to forge light gates, would I be associating with a brat like you!” He grumbled at Jiliu Jia, but Bing Han Yanyan also started to attack, launching several ice shards.

Although Jiliu Jia’s strength was the weakest, his Water Demon Burst was a group attack skill, taking down a large area at once. The other two, although powerful, also took down a large area at once. However, compared to Jiliu Jia, it was incomparable. Therefore, at this time, Jiliu Jia had become the main force.

What made the three of them’s scalps tingle happened: these Five-Colored Poisonous Spiders were endless. For every wave that died, another wave arrived. If this continued, even the highest experts would eventually run out of magic power.

“We can’t just wait like this, we must find an exit!” Mei Jier said.

This was the only consensus the three had reached without arguing this time. The figures of the three flashed simultaneously, charging into the darkness. However, the two women didn’t notice that as Jiliu Jia passed the two stone pillars, he collected the two black cauldrons on top into his ring.

The further they went, the darker it became, and at the same time, the three could feel the number of Five-Colored Poisonous Spiders increasing, surging towards them like a river. Suddenly, Mei Jier spread her arms, let out a low roar, and a fire dragon rushed out, leaving corpses everywhere it passed.

However, the fire dragon only lasted for a few minutes before it had to be abandoned. It was Jiliu Jia who spoke, “You should recall your fire dragon. If you waste magic power like this, we’ll all be doomed soon!”

Magic power continuously circulated in the dark space. A batch of Five-Colored Poisonous Spiders was killed, but more surged forth. Fortunately, the three did not stop their footsteps and kept moving forward. The path ahead could be described as an unknown world. The three of them didn’t know what was waiting for them ahead, but the instinct for survival told them that if they wanted to get out, they had to move forward.

Jiliu Jia didn’t know how many Five-Colored Poisonous Spiders had been killed in these past half an hour, but he was sure that this was the day he had killed the most living creatures. The three walked very quickly. In half an hour, they had already covered a considerable distance. This pitch blackness seemed to have no end. All they could see in their eyes were swarms of Five-Colored Poisonous Spiders and darkness.

Another half an hour passed. At this time, a light spot suddenly appeared in front of the three. The three were overjoyed and quickened their pace towards the light spot. At the same time, the magic power in their palms did not stop, and waves of Five-Colored Poisonous Spiders fell.

This was a light gate. Sweeping his divine sense, Jiliu Jia discovered that there was a divine sense seal within this light gate. “I say, you two hold on, I’ll open this door!”
