"No rush for now. How much spirit power have you expended?"
"Maintaining this range and temperature doesn't consume much. Even if it does, it's enough to last until we leave this place."
Wang Nan observed the Jade Phosphorous Exotic Flower before him, his gaze taking in the extreme cold and extreme heat coexisting in close proximity.
Large patches of miasma slowly sank behind the Jade Phosphorous Exotic Flower, clearly indicating a valley ahead.
"Let's go a little further."
Outside the Sunset Forest, Immortal Lin'er and Zhang Lexuan had already joined the team blocking Spirit Beasts from escaping, replacing other Spirit Masters whose spirit power was nearly depleted.
A cyan long spear was held in Immortal Lin'er's hand, and hurricanes howled, carrying immense destructive power as they struck the Spirit Beasts on the ground.
Facing lower-ranked Spirit Beasts, Immortal Lin'er still had the energy to glance into the Sunset Forest from time to time. Wang Nan and Ma Xiaotao had been in the forest for half a day, and the poisonous miasma was still slowly spreading outwards. She only hoped that nothing would happen to them.
At this moment, Wang Nan and Ma Xiaotao were in a field of Jade Phosphorous Exotic Flowers.
Golden-red flames enveloped the two of them. As soon as the surrounding leaves, shaped like human palms, approached, they withered in the blink of an eye, curling backward.
The surrounding colorful poisonous clouds permeated the air. Although they didn't touch the two due to the power of the Ultimate Fire, they still completely obscured their vision.
Wang Nan held his rod with one hand, sweeping away the vines that occasionally emerged from the mist.
"Be careful." Wang Nan, walking in front, suddenly stopped. A steep slope appeared before him.
This should be it.
With that thought, Wang Nan looked back. "Expand the range a little. We'll fly down."
"Alright." Ma Xiaotao nodded, and the Ultimate Fire spread out, forming a spherical shield three meters in diameter to protect them both.
The moment the poisonous mist in the air touched the flames, a faint sound was heard, and a strange odor emanated from the mist.
"Let's go."
Wang Nan's mental force surged, extending deeper into the thick mist, then he soared into the air, taking a step forward.
Just as his figure was in mid-air, several dark shadows appeared silently, sweeping toward the two with astonishing speed.
They were deep-blue vines, already stained with a lot of colorful poisonous mist.
The moment he saw these vines, Wang Nan actually thought of Blue Silver Grass. However, although he had never been here, he was very familiar with the situation and had already prepared for it.
He swung his right hand, and as his first spirit ring lit up, the Coiling Dragon Staff arrived first, reaching the direction of the vines' attack ahead of them.
Immediately after, spirit power and mental force flowed into his right hand simultaneously. With a slight tremor in his hand, the Coiling Dragon Staff swept in a circle, and all the vines around Wang Nan were swept away.
Ma Xiaotao, who was beside him, looked at the surrounding vines. Red light glowed in her eyes, and the Ultimate Fire was about to erupt, but Wang Nan pulled her hand, calming her down.
"Your spirit power still needs to counter these poisonous mists. Just leave these vines to me."
As he spoke, their figures flickered continuously, heading down into the valley.
They finally cleared their vision, and the scenery before them unfolded.
The colorful poisonous miasma did not fall into the depths of the valley; instead, it floated above their heads, draping the valley in a splendid cloak of light.
The area inside the valley was not large, but it was covered with various plants, and different colors and intensities of light emanated from these plants.
At the very center of the valley, a lake presented two completely different colors.
One side was fiery red, with high temperatures making the air above the lake slightly distorted. The other side was icy blue, emitting a cold aura.
Wang Nan's body had absorbed the power of life gold, and here, he felt a rich life aura.
Ma Xiaotao, beside him, had already widened her eyes. Even as a Disciple of Shrek Academy, she had never witnessed such a treasure trove.
Wang Nan's gaze lingered on the lake for a moment, then immediately turned to the surrounding plants. There should be more than one plant-type Spirit Beast with a cultivation of over a hundred thousand years here.
"It's been a long time since humans came here. You two are very lucky."
A voice came, and Wang Nan's gaze instantly fell on a light pink flower by the lake.
As the voice sounded, vines extended out from its side, slowly reaching out to the surroundings.
The flower stem gradually straightened, and light pink petals slowly unfurled. The crystal-clear petals trembled slightly, and a cloud of pollen diffused from its side. Even from a distance, Wang Nan still smelled a faint fragrance.
With a slight movement of his left hand, Wang Nan looked to his side and saw that Ma Xiaotao no longer had the intention to look at the surrounding scenery. Instead, she was seriously watching the large flower.
Except for special individuals like the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, those who could speak were undoubtedly hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts. However, Ma Xiaotao, possessing an Ultimate Spirit, even with only an eight-spirit ring cultivation, was confident in fighting a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast.
"Why aren't you two talking? It's been so long since anyone came here, and no one has been here to talk to me."
"You two are from the outside, right? Can you tell me what happened outside? What's it like outside now?"
"Don't look at me like that; I'm actually very easy to talk to. If you talk to me more, maybe I'll even consider giving you some benefits."
"Oh, right, I haven't introduced myself yet. That person called me Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin. You can just call me Youyou. How about it? Isn't that a nice name?"
"And, and, what are you two doing here?"
Wang Nan had known that Youxiang Qiluo was a chatterbox. However, hearing its self-introduction, his expression almost slipped.
"Xianpin" wasn't a name, but rather a rank classification humans made for medicinal herbs, indicating that it was a celestial-grade herb. He hadn't expected Youxiang Qiluo to use it as part of its self-introduction.
Wang Nan released his left hand, gave Ma Xiaotao a reassuring look, and took two steps forward.
He wasn't a bloodthirsty person. Unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want to actively attack Spirit Beasts that had developed sentience. Since Youxiang Qiluo wanted to talk, he didn't mind chatting with it. In fact, sometimes Wang Nan felt that he had a talent for conversation.
"Youyou, your name is very pleasant. Do you know about the Jade Phosphorous Exotic Flower outside?"
"I know, I know. That person left them here to protect us and this treasure trove. That person said this place is a paradise, and bad people absolutely must not know about it, so he set up an obstacle outside."
"Now those flowers are out of control."
