Live Strong in the Wilderness

After entering the tunnel, Xu Yi immediately saw a black Earth Core Blood Lotus.

As he approached, Xu Yi felt an unusual aura.

Xu Yi was certain that this thing could definitely enhance his spiritual power.

It was an unexpected discovery; Xu Yi had never thought that coming to this backward civilization would yield such a harvest.

He felt that the effect of this Emperor Grade Earth Core Blood Lotus might be better than the blood from the Star-devouring Seven-colored Horned Python Emperor.

Cautiously, Xu Yi pulled it out of the ground and saw an Earth Core Blood Lotus smaller than his fist.

Xu Yi did not take this small Earth Core Blood Lotus but left it in the dirt.

Because Xu Yi saw another Emperor Grade Earth Core Blood Lotus not far ahead.

Thus, Xu Yi happily dug up the second Emperor Grade Earth Core Blood Lotus.

Beside this Earth Core Blood Lotus, there were two smaller Earth Core Blood Lotuses.

So, Xu Yi left these three small Earth Core Blood Lotuses and prepared to leave.

At this moment, the little brain suddenly said, "Master, there’s another space behind you; the temperature is very low."

Very low temperature?

Is there actually a place with very low temperature here?

Xu Yi immediately became interested and said, "Open a gap, let’s go and have a look."

"Okay, Master, step back. I’ll find a suitable spot to avoid any accidents." This task was easy for the little brain.

After all, they were deep underground, and if an accident occurred, they could be buried alive.

Although they could eventually leave here, it would require some means.

Wouldn’t it be better to safely open the passage without affecting any structures?

A few minutes later, a passage appeared before Xu Yi.

The temperature was indeed very low, and Xu Yi felt a chilling aura directly hit him.

In an instant, the rock wall was covered with a layer of frost.

"Little brain, use spiritual power to seal the cold air; I’ll go and check," Xu Yi said, and then he passed through the small opening.

Several lights floated up, and Xu Yi checked his surroundings.

This space was quite large, filled with ice everywhere.

However, what attracted Xu Yi was a lake emitting cold air.

On the lake, several ’Ice Lotuses’ were growing.

After approaching, Xu Yi felt a strong aura.

This aura was similar to that of the Emperor Grade Earth Core Blood Lotus.

So Xu Yi directly collected the five Earth Core Ice Lotuses from the lake.

There were two smaller ones in the lake, but Xu Yi didn’t take them.

He thought that perhaps he could return here in the future, so leaving some seeds would be good.

"Little brain, seal this opening so the cold air doesn’t leak out; I’m heading out now," Xu Yi told the little brain and then left directly.

By this time, daylight should have broken, and Gu Qinglian outside must be worried.

Therefore, Xu Yi thought about leaving early.

Since the little brain was faster than Xu Yi, it wouldn’t matter if it left a bit later.

After speaking with the little brain, Xu Yi left at the fastest speed.

As expected by Xu Yi, after flying upwards for over ten minutes, the little brain followed.

Then, they flew for another hour and reached the ground.

"Xu Gongzi," Gu Qinglian called out excitedly, thinking Xu Yi might really have died underground.

After all, it was already past eight the next day.

"Waited long? I’ll give you this Blood Lotus." With that, Xu Yi moved his hand, and a 9-grade Earth Core Snow Lotus flew in front of Gu Qinglian.

Gu Qinglian was stunned looking at the Blood Lotus floating before her.

"Is this... a 9-grade Earth Core Blood Lotus?" Gu Qinglian asked excitedly.

"I think so. I picked hundreds of them," Xu Yi said, glancing at the little brain and then took out an Earth Core Ice Lotus, asking, "Do you recognize this?"

"This should be a variant of the Emperor Grade Earth Core Blood Lotus. I can study its effects; please give me a petal and seed," the little brain said seriously.

"Alright." Xu Yi directly broke off a petal and gave a seed to the little brain.

"Emperor Grade, not Immortal Grade?" Gu Qinglian asked puzzled.

"Above Emperor Grade is Immortal Grade. Alright, let’s head back." Xu Yi glanced at the little brain, which immediately switched to flight mode.

"Xu Gongzi, did you pick an Emperor Grade Earth Core Blood Lotus?" Gu Qinglian carefully asked after storing the 9-grade Earth Core Blood Lotus.

"Take a guess," Xu Yi winked at Gu Qinglian.

Gu Qinglian glanced at Xu Yi and bit her lip.

Having acquired something above the Emperor Grade, the Emperor Grade must also have been obtained.

Gu Qinglian had never thought that an Emperor Grade Earth Core Blood Lotus truly existed.

Of course, what she hadn’t anticipated was something above the Emperor Grade—an Immortal Grade.

If one consumed an Immortal Grade, would they become immortal directly?

Of course, she didn’t ask outright.

Xu Yi had just given a petal and seed to that ’person’ for research. This showed that Xu Gongzi wasn’t clear about the effects of the Immortal Grade Earth Core Blood Lotus.

Throughout the journey, Xu Yi didn’t speak.

Gu Qinglian had vomited the last time, so she kept her eyes closed during the return.

Soon, they returned to Wuxu Palace.
