Chapter 1073: Chapter 158: Treasure Basin! (Fifth Update)

"Boss, don’t act recklessly!" Yuanyuan said alertly.

He felt that Mu Qingge’s nickname should be "Mu Daring"! As long as there’s a glimmer of possibility, she wouldn’t let it slip away and would try it out.

However, devouring the Abnormal Fire is not that easy.

A single mistake and not even ashes would remain. Then, where would he find his dear boss?

"Don’t worry, I won’t act recklessly," Mu Qingge promised.

"..." Yuanyuan was silent for a moment and couldn’t help but retort, "Clearly, it’s you who loves acting recklessly the most."

"..." This jab left Mu Qingge speechless.

Seemingly, she couldn’t find the right words to refute Yuanyuan’s statement and prove that she’s not a reckless person. After a while, she finally said, "I wouldn’t call it reckless; it’s called bold thinking, careful verification."

"Boss, it’s not considered careful," Yuanyuan couldn’t help but say.

His boss’s manner was to head straight to danger wherever it was.

Mu Qingge no longer paid attention to Yuanyuan’s complaining. She was merely thinking, if she could devour the Abnormal Fire, strengthen her Fire Spirit Root, or gain more understanding of the Fire Law, what should she do?

"Yuanyuan, how do you devour the Abnormal Fire?" Mu Qingge asked.

Yuanyuan replied irritably, "Just like eating food."

"..." Mu Qingge’s expression changed, and she said helplessly, "Yuanyuan... be serious."

Yuanyuan seriously said, "I am serious! When I devoured other Abnormal Fires before, I treated them as food to devour. Bite by bite, I became stronger and even gained their abilities."

Mu Qingge lifted her head, speechless.

How could she, bite by bite, eat the Abnormal Fire?

"Qingge, what are you thinking?" Yin Chen asked Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge collected her thoughts, shaking her head slowly. She said, "The Abnormal Fire is useful to me. Let’s go faster."

With that, she quickened her pace, heading inside. Previously those who retreated due to the fire now cautiously moved forward, continuing towards the inside.

Tong Teng was stunned and shouted towards Mu Qingge’s swiftly moving figure, "Boss, calm down!"

Although he shouted this, he hurriedly followed. Qian Shui shook his head with a slight smile. Over the past few days, he found himself somewhat envying the interaction between Tong Teng and Mu Qingge.

The path of cultivation is long and boundless. Among fellow disciples, respect and politeness are usually the norm. It’s rare to see someone like Tong Teng, calling "Boss" frequently and following Mu Qingge without seeming overly flattering or relying on her. Some occasional jokes also added some liveliness, and neither side minded much.

Because it’s rare, it’s enviable.

Qian Shui followed behind the two, watching the backs of Mu Qingge and Tong Teng, his lips involuntarily curling upwards. Suddenly, he felt someone watching him and turned his gaze, only to meet Yin Chen’s strikingly beautiful blood-red eyes.

Qian Shui was momentarily surprised. He wasn’t familiar with Yin Chen because, although Yin Chen was always with them, he rarely communicated with anyone other than Mu Qingge.

At present, as he looked over, Qian Shui, after a slight surprise, merely nodded and smiled in greeting.

Yin Chen then shifted his gaze away, moving his eyes lightly.

The four quickened their pace, stepping into the unnamed land. As they climbed over the peak of the mountain and saw the other side, they couldn’t help but halt.

Before them lay a basin.

It truly was a "basin"!

Among the four, only Qian Shui had been here once or twice, so when he saw it again, he wasn’t surprised. However, the other three, upon their first sight of the unnamed land, felt shocked.

"Goodness, is this a Treasure Basin?" Tong Teng mumbled in shock.

Treasure Basin?

Mu Qingge squinted slightly, her heart strongly agreeing with Tong Teng’s description.

Boom—!

Suddenly, a ray of light fell from the sky, directly into the "Treasure Basin," the sound like thunder, also stirring up a layer of dust, attracting the attention of those in the basin.

A group of people rushed towards the fallen location, while those standing on the mountain peak were already dumbfounded.

Tong Teng turned his stiff neck, looking at Qian Shui, asking in a somewhat parched voice, "Brother Qian Shui, you said this place often appears with exotic treasures like this?" Directly falling from the sky!

Having this thought wasn’t surprising.

Because in this huge "basin," there were many... "scraps," and the just-fallen item was among them.

Qian Shui nodded with a smile, "This is the unsolved mystery of tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years. Every so often, something falls from the sky here. Some items are useful, some aren’t, some we’ve never seen before, and some seem familiar."

Mu Qingge pressed her lips without speaking, listening to Qian Shui’s words, her eyes harboring a contemplative look.

"So... so amazing!" Tong Teng said, stunned. Then he muttered, "If I stayed here and collected treasures daily to sell at a high price, wouldn’t I become rich?"

This sentence was heard by Qian Shui, who laughed and said, "Your method is very good, but someone is already doing it."

As he said this, he pointed to the people in the "basin," telling Tong Teng, "Look at those people. They all have the same idea as you. Most of the time, they stay here. Whenever an exotic treasure appears, they immediately rush over."

"Ah~! Really missed an opportunity to get rich!" Tong Teng said regretfully.

"Let’s go." Mu Qingge said, interrupting Tong Teng and Qian Shui’s conversation.

She always found it strange, why would things fall here constantly? And what exactly were these falling items?

Also—

’Yuanyuan, can you sense the direction of that Abnormal Fire?’ Mu Qingge asked in her heart.

Yuanyuan immediately responded, ’That guy is very cunning. After showing its power once, it hid. Now, I can’t sense where it is.’

’Has it hidden?’ Mu Qingge’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, thinking about how to summon the Abnormal Fire again.

’Sorry, boss,’ Yuanyuan suddenly said.

Mu Qingge was slightly stunned and asked in surprise, ’Why apologize?’

’Yuanyuan is useless, can’t find the position of the Abnormal Fire.’ Yuanyuan complained.

Mu Qingge instantly laughed, ’What does that have to do with you? Don’t blame yourself.’

While communicating with Yuanyuan, they had already walked into the "Treasure Basin." What greeted their eyes were piles of "exotic treasures," some already aged with time, others still bearing fresh marks.

Suddenly, as one item came into Mu Qingge’s view, her eyes burst with astonishing radiance...
