I Pick up a Lost Godhood

Chapter 324 - 309: Silly Girl

The three of them were flushed crimson, a clear sign that the power of the Fire God Little Thousand World hadn’t fully dissipated. They felt a great sense of relief upon returning. That damned place had been far too hot; even for them, users of the Five Elements Master Flame, it had been a bit much to handle.

"Mengzi, how was it? How was it? Was the Fire God Little Thousand World fun?"

"It was fun, especially if you enjoy roasting your little bird," Wang Meng said with a laugh.

"Damn! The fact that you’re still in the mood to tease me means you must have pulled it off!"

Fan Hong chuckled. "Let’s see it, then. I’ve never seen a Thousand Tempered Fire Spirit Stone before!"

Li Tianyi and Mingren had been too far away to see clearly. All they knew was that Wang Meng had picked up a few things and seemed to have retrieved something from the Sea of Fire.

Wang Meng took it out of his Qiankun Bag. Instantly, the entire room was bathed in a red glow, filled with a dense Power of Fire.

"Holy crap, it really is a Thousand Tempered Fire Spirit Stone! And top quality, too! How did you guys get it? This is amazing! You can usually only find this quality near the Sea of Fire!"

"I just picked it up on the shore of the Sea of Fire. I guess a wave must have washed it up from inside," Wang Meng said.

Instantly, everyone stared at Wang Meng. Jiangg Qingqing, who hadn’t had a chance to speak yet, was especially dumbfounded. She had come uninvited, worried sick when she heard Wang Meng had gone to the Fire God Little Thousand World.

"...No way. How could you possibly get in there? Normally, people get Thousand Tempered Fire Spirit Stones by hunting the Exotic Beasts that often carry them out," Jiangg Qingqing said, her eyes wide.

Wang Meng shrugged helplessly. "Nobody told us."

The others all chimed in that they didn’t know either. Jiangg Qingqing was speechless. ’That actually worked?!’

"Haha, that’s what you call fate! Now the second condition is met, with only the last one to go. Senior Sister Jiangg, do you have any pretty junior sisters in the Red Beauty Sect who haven’t joined a faction yet? Why not have them join our Holy Hall Faction? We’re definitely a group with potential, a boundless future!" Fan Hong immediately seized the opportunity to recruit.

Jiangg Qingqing let out a laugh. "You’ll have to wait until the Holy Hall is firmly established. When a new faction is officially formed, it’s bound to face challenges."

"Tch! Who have we ever been afraid of!"

"Heh, this won’t be like dealing with those grunts from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. By the way, I almost forgot something. Wang Meng, Sister Yuyue asked me to pass a message to you. The remnants of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect have all joined the Demon Refining Faction and are now under the protection of the Crimson Refining Demon Monarch, Luo Xian. This man is incredibly arrogant and vindictive. If you want the Holy Hall Faction to be established peacefully, it’s best to hold off on dealing with the Ten Thousand Demons Sect for now," Jiangg Qingqing said.

Hex Zui was taken aback. "Luo Xian? Why would he accept people from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect?"

Jiangg Qingqing smiled. "Why turn away lackeys who deliver themselves to your doorstep? Besides, the Ten Thousand Demons Sect gave Luo Xian a treasure that pleased him greatly. You know as well as I do that Luo Xian is famous for his greed and lust."

"Please thank your friend for us," Hex Zui said. The information was crucial. They hadn’t made any moves in the past few days, but if they had acted rashly, the few of them from the Holy Hall truly wouldn’t have been able to withstand the consequences.

Jiangg Qingqing gave a charming smile and floated away.

"Wang Meng, you guys should rest for now. There’s no rush."

Wang Meng nodded. Although they hadn’t spent much time in the Fire God Little Thousand World, the physical strain on the three of them had been immense.

Wang Meng took a few steps, but a sudden wave of weakness washed over him. Ma Tian’Er, who was beside him, quickly caught him. Wang Meng rubbed his head. "I’m fine, just a little tired."

"Let me help you go rest," Ma Tian’Er said.

"Junior Sister Ma, you’re a Pill Cultivator, so you’re the perfect person to look after Wang Meng. Contact us if anything happens. I’m going to scout out the situation with the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. Junior Brother Li, Mingren, are you two alright?"

Li Tianyi shrugged. "We were just watching. We’re fine."

"Wang Meng probably got too close to the Sea of Fire. He’s overexerted and needs to rest," Mingren said.

"Alright. Fan Hong, let’s go to the Hundred Battles Pavilion to report in and avoid any complications."

"You got it!"

Ma Tian’Er helped Wang Meng into the Quiet Chamber inside. It really was much more convenient now that the Holy Hall had its own place.

He hadn’t felt much before, but suddenly Wang Meng felt as if he had just fought a massive battle. Every bone in his body ached.

After the others had gone, he nearly collapsed. He had only been forcing himself to stand strong so they wouldn’t worry.

"Don’t tell the others. Just let me rest for a bit, I’ll be fine," Wang Meng said groggily.

Ma Tian’Er was no longer the little girl who could only worry. She immediately placed a hand on Wang Meng’s Sea of Heart and began to slowly channel her Elemental Power into him. But the moment she made contact, it was like dry tinder meeting a raging fire; she instantly snatched her hand back from the searing heat.

Wang Meng had communicated with the Sea of Fire Consciousness. While his consciousness was at a high level, his Elemental Power was far too weak in comparison. When he had approached the Sea of Fire, despite having taken a Fire-Extinguishing Pill and being protected by a Fire-Resistant Shield, he hadn’t been immune to the Fire Poison.

Ma Tian’Er fed Wang Meng a Fire-Extinguishing Pill, but she still couldn’t make contact with her own Elemental Power. Her Wood Element power meeting his Fire Element problem was like adding fuel to the flames.

In the Cultivation Academy, one could only pray for the best in a situation like this. Wang Meng’s condition was clearly an invasion of fire poison.

The Fire-Extinguishing Pill wasn’t having much effect. Wang Meng’s body was flushed crimson, and his condition seemed to be worsening.

His body was burning hot, yet not a single drop of sweat appeared. Ma Tian’Er knew she had to expel the Fire Poison, but her affinity was with the Wood Element of the Five Elements, not Water.

Torn and seeing the pained look on Wang Meng’s face, Ma Tian’Er gritted her teeth, pressed her hands to his chest, and slowly channeled her Elemental Power.

As soon as the Fire Poison came into contact with the Wood Element Elemental Power, it immediately surged out and began to spread toward Ma Tian’Er’s body.

Ma Tian’Er’s constitution wasn’t strong enough to completely extinguish this kind of Fire Poison, but she could draw it out of him.

At this moment, however, Wang Meng was in another state entirely. His exchange with the Sea of Fire Consciousness had caused his recently acquired Fire Jade Technique to instantly reach the Realm of Perfection. The surge of power had been too fierce, however, and his body couldn’t adapt to it all at once. The residual Fire Poison also needed to be expelled bit by bit.
