Chapter 776 - 697: Ascend to the Peak 96
Tan Shuangshuang soaked Lu Tianyi into the hot spring in the backyard of the Flying Heaven Palace. Now, Lu Tianyi’s entire meridians were compressed by the extreme cold outside, concentrated in the Spirit Mansion, and he was diligently exercising his Spiritual Power to dispel the cold in his body. The Spiritual Energy in the hot spring is assisting in enhancing the cultivation effect.
Originally, everyone entered the Blood Mist Desert intending to find some Blood Sand Stones and to witness the peculiar scenery of the Blood Mist Desert. Although the scenery in the Blood Mist Desert is monotonous, when there is no strong wind and the weather is good, it’s a clear sky stretching for miles, with an endless desert, such beauty and vastness mingled with breathtaking splendor, making it worth seeing.
Who would have thought that upon entering the Blood Mist Desert, Tan Shuangshuang discovered that the temperature difference between day and night here was suitable for cultivation, instantly diverting the group’s purpose to cultivation. Each one cultivated both day and night, forgetting all about sightseeing and Blood Sand Stones.
So they cultivated, and half a year swiftly passed. Initially, everyone relied on the day-night temperature difference of the Blood Mist Desert to cultivate, but as they delved deeper into the Blood Mist Desert, the peculiar Magic Beasts inside also began to add trials to everyone’s cultivation journey.
No one was afraid, the Magic Beasts that came to sneak attack became everyone’s best opponents in cultivation. Some took it further, transforming into foodies who researched which attacking Magic Beast tasted the best and which was hard to eat.
That day, early in the morning, the Blood Mist Desert had a rare clear sky, with not a trace of sand stirring up. Everyone looked at the now quiet Blood Mist Desert, finally showcasing its peerless beauty, and couldn’t help but marvel at the magnificent scenery.
Amidst such a landscape, contemplating the vastness of heaven and earth, everyone felt great. Tan Shuangshuang decided not to cultivate today; instead, everyone should enjoy the scenery and feast.
Everyone sat in the yard of the Flying Heaven Palace, letting the Flying Heaven Palace fly slowly through the air. They opened the Protective Shield, isolating the extreme heat outside, lit a bonfire, and took out a pile of delicious food to start feasting.
Of course, the highlight of the feast was the unique delicacy of the Blood Mist Desert, a colossal, fully crimson giant scorpion. The scorpion’s body was packed with meat, especially the two giant pincers, filled with translucent, faintly pink meat.
Open the pincers of the giant scorpion, sprinkle various seasonings, and grill it on fire. A strange aroma instantly envelops the air; no matter how many times it’s been eaten, everyone can’t resist the stimulation brought by this scent.
While everyone was feasting and drinking, a flying vessel with its Protective Shield also open appeared beside the Flying Heaven Palace. No one found it strange, as on this journey of cultivation, they had already seen many adventurers driving various Flying Artifacts into the Blood Mist Desert searching for Blood Sand Stones.
Cultivators cannot long adapt to the temperature in the Blood Mist Desert; coupled with the Magic Beasts’ penchant for sneaky attacks, fearlessly unyielding, persistently attacking even during nighttime, despite many deaths they never feared.
Under such circumstances, without a Flying Artifact capable of defense and conveyance, humans simply can’t stay in the Blood Mist Desert for long.
The group on Tan Shuangshuang’s side assumed these people were adventurers treasure hunting in the Blood Mist Desert again without giving them much thought, continuing their feasting, unaware that the flying vessel was slowly getting closer to their Flying Heaven Palace and then maintaining speed alongside it.
Immediately, a seductive woman dressed scantily flew out from the vessel, landing in front of the Flying Heaven Palace.
Her upper body wore only a small moon-white halter top embroidered with a branch of red plum, and her lower body wore a pale pink skirt barely covering her thighs—a skirt somewhat sheer, with its allure veiled yet visible. She draped half-transparent, half-concealing gauze, exposing round shoulders and a slender waist, her fair, delicate skin laid bare.
The woman wore few accessories; her long hair fluttered in the air, adding a hint of charm.
This is a woman exuding feminine allure from head to toe; merely looking at her conjures thoughts of those unparalleled beauties, enchanting views, making one’s blood boil, carrying the decadence of indulgence, akin to the embodiment of tempting desires.
She was a beauty unrivaled by Hua Qingcheng, though Hua Qingcheng’s allure carried a cool, distant grace, unreachable and aloof, attracting many admirers. Were it not for Hua Qingcheng’s own self-destruction, her increasing conduct unworthy, her face would have garnered countless admirers.
On the other hand, this woman’s beauty was permeated with decadence, her gaze transfixing and soul-stirring. Should there be any lecherous man that sees her, it would ignite the innermost desires, willing to indulge in her allure.
At this moment, this peerless beauty stood outside the Flying Heaven Palace, with a heart-captivating smile on her face, "Esteemed elders, I’ve encountered some trouble, losing food and water. I wonder if the elders could find it in their hearts to spare me some sustenance; I’m willing to offer Spirit Stones for purchase."
The woman’s voice carried a unique charm, as it reached the ears, causing the body to involuntarily tingle, desiring to comply with all her requests.
Unfortunately, even though this woman’s allure was innate, everyone inside the Flying Heaven Palace was oblivious to such charms. Tan Shuangshuang, for one, didn’t have peculiar preferences; Fei Hu and Bai Sheng, despite being male, were either unformed babes ignorant of such allure or had normal taste, preferring tigresses.
Tan Feiyu, having seen the brainless behavior of Hua Qingcheng, developed a resistance to beauties, whereas Lu Tianyi, saw every woman except benefactors, whom he deemed perfect, as insignificant.
This woman named Sha Qionghua noticed, after speaking with her flirtatious voice, the scene she anticipated—men clamoring, offering food and water to show favor—didn’t happen; everyone aboard the Flying Heaven Palace merely looked at her calmly, unmoved by her allure.
Sha Qionghua felt a bit embarrassed; forget about the woman, how is it that none of the three men showed any appreciation for her? Although each man was more handsome than the last, especially the one with white hair, whose face almost rivaled her beauty, this cold demeanor seemed abnormal. Could it be her appeal had diminished?
Tan Shuangshuang was the first to respond, taking out a pile of food ingredients and dozens of water bags, handing them to Sha Qionghua, "Just some food and water, it’s nothing, no need to bother with Spirit Stones."
Tan Shuangshuang was honest when she said this, having not only customized Flying Heaven Palace with the Wanyou Trading House before departure but also bartered ten High-level Storage Stones with Yan Xing. Besides sending them back to the Tan Family for her grandfather and second uncle, she distributed some to Fei Hu and Tan Feiyu; the remaining High-level Storage Stones were placed in Tan Shuangshuang’s Storage Necklace. In her storage box was a blooming Utpala Flower, with a High-level Storage Stone embedded in every petal.
