There were still other things, namely Liu Chen's storage ring.
However, when they opened it, the contents were all quite ghastly.
For instance, there was the blood-red bell from before, and many pills that looked disgusting, their ingredients unknown.
Beyond that, there were just some bits of scrap metal.
Having been trapped here for seventy thousand years, the spiritual stones within had long been depleted by Liu Chen.
In the final division of spoils, all the evil magical artifacts were handed over to Li Qingyun, as no one else wanted them.
Li Qingyun's [Chaos Divine Lotus], however, accepted all of them without refusal, absorbing them all.
It then exuded wisps of Dao charm, causing Li Qingyun's cultivation to increase by another point.
This [Chaos Divine Lotus] even produced a slight sense of devouring towards Luo Xiaowei's [Candle Dragon Burning Heaven Sword], scaring Luo Xiaowei into retracting his treasured sword and glaring fiercely at Li Qingyun.
This made Li Qingyun feel rather awkward. Although this item was a celestial artifact, he couldn't control it yet.
Furthermore, within Liu Chen's storage ring, they also discovered the formation method for this "Blood Fiend Soul Sacrificing Great Array."
This was indeed an evil formation, but... it depended on who wielded it.
If it were used on the evil race three years later, or on some demonic beasts encountered in subsequent trials, he would feel no guilt whatsoever.
"This, this poor Daoist shall take. You can trust this poor Daoist's integrity; this formation will only be used against enemies."
"Don't worry, don't worry. I'm already your fan, Daoist Bai. I won't reveal any of your scams and trickery from inside!"
Bai Nianchen's old face flushed red: "Young friend Luo, you slander me! This poor Daoist has never engaged in scams or trickery!"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, it was behavioral education! Behavioral education!"
...
This crisis had passed without significant incident.
For Luo Xiaowei, fighting as a team with his brother Qingyun was still comfortable. He could also experience the sensation of Vermilion Bird power entering his body, which was incredibly exhilarating!
The last time he teamed up with Meng Zibin and the others, Chen Xiaohan's incessant passive-aggression had ruined the team's morale!
Due to the activation of the grand formation, everyone had been awakened.
For several days after this, no one dared to enter secluded cultivation.
However, the impact of this incident was largely smoothed over within a month.
This was because Li Qingyun and the others later explained the matter of Liu Chen to others and promised that the entire Lihuo Palace had now become absolutely safe.
But no one admitted to who it was that had destroyed the formation.
They all claimed that their souls had been pulled apart at the time, rendering them completely unable to control their bodies, let alone destroy the formation.
Thus, the battle's...
"This time, I will definitely succeed!"
A strong sense of confidence surged into her heart. At the most perfect moment, she added the last medicinal ingredient. She had repeated this action countless times, but never had it been as perfect as now!
Precisely perfect!
After nearly an hour, that feeling of inspired intuition appeared again!
"It's now! Withdraw the fire!"
With trembling hands, filled with excitement, Xue Qianwei opened the furnace lid.
Suddenly, golden light flashed!
Three pills lay quietly within the furnace. The small pills were adorned with golden patterns, beautiful and mysterious...
"Ah!!! Ah!!! I succeeded! Wuwuwu... Wu wuwuwuwu... One year! Zhang Xiaohu!! I curse your ancestors! Do you know what I've been through this past year, wuwuwu..."
