The Healer Demands Payment!

Chapter 149

The toxic clouds suddenly swirled like a vortex, encircling Meng Qi in the center. In response, her Five Spirits Cauldron spun even faster, and amidst the dense clanging sounds, Meng Qi, who shared a spiritual connection with the cauldron, felt as if something was heavily hammering against the walls of her spiritual sea, causing it to vibrate wildly. In a blink, cold sweat dripped down her forehead, and her back was soaked through completely.

“Little girl, since This Lord is asking you a question, you should answer obediently. Otherwise, you won’t even get past the first part of this ten thousand li journey, and there are two more parts waiting for you. Do you want to be thrown out of the Ten Absolutes Mountain?” The voice chuckled weirdly, speaking in an old-fashioned tone.

Meng Qi had no intention of responding. Who knew who this voice was! Moreover, she was warned to keep the matter of the Five Spirits Cauldron secret not only by Ji Wujiong but also by Yun Qingyan.

Thinking of Yun Qingyan, an idea suddenly popped into her mind. Meng Qi put the sixth-realm artifact back into her storage space and took out another handful of spiritual herbs.

“Eh?” The voice sounded surprised, “You can still make a move.”

With a flick of her hand, Meng Qi tossed the spiritual herbs into the Five Spirits Cauldron. At the same time, her right hand quickly began to move, drawing an array with extreme speed and precision. The belly of her Five Spirits Cauldron was already engraved with the Lihuo Great Fire Array, albeit in a modified form. Miasma and toxic gas, including the poisonous insects of the swamp, all feared fire the most. Moreover, the blaze summoned by the Lihuo array was one of the most domineering and powerful in the world.

“Little girl, what are you doing…” The voice was initially leisurely, as if knowing whatever Meng Qi did would end in futile. As such, the tone of his voice seemed like a spectator watching a show, unhurried and a bit bored. Even as Meng Qi bent over, with her silver medicinal knife swiftly drawing something, the entity didn’t seem to take her seriously.

Meng Qi’s movements were sharp and efficient. It’s worth noting that although her talent in cultivation was not exceptional, her aptitude in arrays was so impressive that Ji Wujiong was astonished at first sight and insisted on taking her as a disciple. In the blink of an eye, the Lihuo array was set up on the narrow wooden plank bridge. The bridge barely accommodated a complete array, though it was a modified version and not the original.

But it was enough! The miasma and toxic gas that had been previously blocked by her medicinal aura could now also be…

With a loud boom, red flames shot up into the sky. The Five Spirits Cauldron abruptly inverted, pouring its content into a freefall. The last batch of herbs Meng Qi had thrown in was the kind that could intensify the flames. Aided by the medicinal aura, the fire instantly doubled in size. The already formidable Lihuo fire burned even more fiercely, illuminating the gloomy sky above the swamp.

The toxic miasma clouds surrounding Meng Qi were dispersed by the Lihuo fire. At the same time, her slender figure flashed through the flames, rushing straight ahead.

“Little girl, not bad!” The voice chuckled weirdly again, “But now, even if you don’t say it, I can guess.”

Meng Qi pursed her lips and ran even faster. She had obtained the Five Spirits Cauldron, which was a legacy of Senior Lin Yan, in the Apricot Forest. She didn’t believe that this unknown entity within the Ten Absolutes Mountain could guess that.
