Is the Green Lotus Core Flame Still There?

"Alright, I'll send you two out first. I need to go down there and take a look." Lin Yu was afraid that once he left, they would not be able to endure the scorching heat without the Heavenly Flames protecting them. Xiao Xun'er would be fine with her strength as a Dou Emperor; Qing Lin was the main concern.

"Brother Lin Yu, you're going down there?" Xiao Xun'er asked doubtfully.

"Yeah. There's something else down there that I need to retrieve. It can increase cultivation speed, and it would be perfect for Qing Lin." As Lin Yu spoke, he affectionately ruffled Qing Lin's hair.

Qing Lin looked at Lin Yu gratefully, thinking, Master is so good to me! He found me a pet and is even risking himself for my cultivation. I don't even know how I could repay him.

"Master, won't it be dangerous?" Touched as she was, Qing Lin still did not want Lin Yu to take such a risk if there was danger involved.

Lin Yu smiled and pressed a hand atop Qing Lin's head. "It's fine. Just wait outside without worrying."

Once he finished speaking, Lin Yu left a Spatial Imprint where he stood, then used Kamui to draw the two girls into the Kamui Space before transferring to Zi Ying's location.

"Alright, I'm going now. I'll be back soon!" Lin Yu gestured for them not to worry.

Xiao Xun'er reminded him, "Mm, be careful..."

"Alright!" As soon as he spoke, a vortex appeared, and Lin Yu vanished before their eyes.

As for why he did not leave them in the Kamui Space, it was because the Kamui Space was far too gloomy. It really was not suitable for two girls.

At that moment, Xiao Xun'er asked Qing Lin, "What was going on with your master's eyes? Why did they give off such an evil aura?"

When Lin Yu used Kamui earlier, Xiao Xun'er had noticed the change in his eyes. That sinister aura had sent a chill down her spine. If it had been anyone other than Lin Yu, she would have attacked without hesitation.

Qing Lin recalled for a moment before saying, "Master said his eyes seem to be called the Sharingan. They have many abilities, and that spatial transfer just now was one of them."

After thinking it over, Xiao Xun'er let it go. Forget it. Brother Lin Yu naturally had his own reasons. But if anyone tried to hurt Brother Lin Yu, I wouldn't mind tearing them into ten thousand pieces!

Meanwhile, Lin Yu had already arrived at the Spatial Imprint. After covering himself in Bone Spirit Cold Flame, he leaped into the magma.

"Damn it! I forgot about that!" Lin Yu smacked his forehead. Only the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake knew where the Green Lotus Core Flame was. In a place this huge, how long would it take to find it? Why the hell did I let that beast go?

"Little snakey, are you there?" Lin Yu called softly, but his voice was wrapped in battle qi, making it clearly audible even from far away.

Upon hearing Lin Yu's voice, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake shuddered and immediately flicked its tail as it fled away from him.

Lin Yu called for quite a while, yet the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake still did not appear. "What's going on? You're not coming out? Are you deliberately hiding from me?"

Lin Yu grew somewhat angry and roared, "You bastard, if you don't come out right now, I'll skin you alive and pull out your tendons when I find you!"

The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake froze mid-escape. After hesitating for a while, it finally decided to head back toward Lin Yu.

Before long, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake appeared before Lin Yu. Lin Yu stepped forward and gave each of its heads a punch.

"Hiss, hiss~"

The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake stuck out its tongues in grievance.

"Let's go. Lead the way!"

Hearing Lin Yu's words, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake did not quite understand. Its two eyes widened as it looked at Lin Yu in confusion.

Lin Yu irritably gave its head another "friendly" greeting.

"Is there anything here worth my coming to find?" Lin Yu asked, suppressing his anger.

The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake felt utterly wronged. You told me to lead the way the moment you showed up. How the hell was I supposed to know what you were looking for?

The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake plunged into the magma and began leading the way, with Lin Yu following close behind.

The farther down they went, the hotter the magma became. Anyone without sufficient cultivation would probably be cooked the instant they touched it.

The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake was a creature born of magma, so this temperature was nothing unusual to it. Lin Yu was wrapped in Bone Spirit Cold Flame and felt no discomfort either. Even if he used only battle qi as protection, he probably would have been fine.

Before long, guided by the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, they descended deeper and deeper. The surrounding magma had begun to take on a bluish-green tint, and the temperature here was no longer comparable to that above.

At that moment, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake stopped. It stared ahead warily, no longer daring to proceed.

Seeing its reaction, Lin Yu was overjoyed. He knew they were almost there.

"You can go back now," Lin Yu said indifferently to the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake.

Hearing Lin Yu's words, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake felt as though a great burden had been lifted. It turned around and raced back the way it had come.

Lin Yu, meanwhile, advanced toward the place the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake had been staring at.

After moving forward for a while longer, a mass of azure light appeared in Lin Yu's vision. Looking closely, he could vaguely make out the outline of a lotus within the glow.

"The Green Lotus Core Flame?" Lin Yu's delighted voice rang out. "Didn't Medusa take it away?" Could this be the butterfly effect? That shouldn't be possible, right?

If he obtained the Green Lotus Core Flame, Lin Yu's strength would rise tremendously again. At that moment, he could no longer suppress his excitement and swiftly dove toward the lotus.

Before him was a massive azure lotus. It had eight petals and was crystal-clear, exceptionally beautiful.

"Damn it! So it isn't the Green Lotus Core Flame!" Lin Yu had never seen the Green Lotus Core Flame before and only knew of it from the book's descriptions. Seeing this lotus, he had assumed it was the flame. It turned out to be nothing more than a lotus!

At the center of the lotus was a small lotus platform covered in holes. Inside them were lotus seeds glowing with azure light—the true purpose of Lin Yu's trip.

These were Fire Lotus Seeds, known as the essence of fire spirits. One formed every hundred years, making them treasures that could only be encountered by chance.

Looking toward the center of the lotus platform, he found a small hole that was completely empty. It seemed the Green Lotus Core Flame had indeed been taken away after all!

Forget it. He would just take this lotus seat and the platform within it. Those had been his purpose in coming here anyway.

Lin Yu severed the section connecting the lotus's roots and flower. That way, another Green Lotus Core Flame would be born in a thousand years.

He counted the Earthfire Lotus Seeds in the platform. There were eleven in total. Lin Yu took out eleven white jade bottles, stored the Earthfire Lotus Seeds inside them, and tossed them into the system space.

Then, holding the lotus platform in one hand, Lin Yu vanished from the spot in a vortex.

"Why hasn't Master come out yet?" Ever since Lin Yu left, Qing Lin had been pacing constantly at the cave entrance, extremely worried.

Although Xiao Xun'er was worried as well, she did not show it as openly as Qing Lin did.

A vortex suddenly appeared, followed by a figure emerging from it. He held the lotus platform in one hand, his black hair unbound and untied behind him. Just then, a breeze swept past, stirring his flowing long hair. Didn't he look a little like Ming Shiyin?

The two girls' eyes lit up.

"Brother Lin Yu!"

"Master!"
