Chapter 542 - Chapter 542: Chapter 534 Xiao Qings Opportunity (2/2)

Qin Niu drew the Ink Blade and charged towards the entrance to the second layer below.

No sooner had he barged in than an unsurpassable force of resistance pushed him out fiercely. Even when he deployed the Medicine King Sutra and summoned the Alchemy Stove outside his body, it was to no avail.

Keep in mind, he was now an Immortal Master and had the Ink Blade in hand; ordinary defensive formations were simply not worth mentioning in his eyes.

He lifted the sword and struck the entrance to the second layer heavily.

Bang!

The Ink Blade slashed out a black line in the air.

The space itself seemed to warp a little.

With the Critical Chop and Rupture effects of the Slash Martial Skill, combined with the inherent power of the Ink Blade, the strike could not only tear through the heavens and earth but at the very least tear a deep fissure into the ground.

However, this slash upon the entrance to the second layer underground was akin to striking an incredibly hard cover.

All of the slashing force was reflected back.

The Ink Blade in Qin Niu’s hand almost flew out due to the rebound. Had it not been for his attainment in the Immortal Scholar Realm which graced him with nimble reflexes, he narrowly dodged to the side, avoiding dire consequences. He could have easily died by his own attack.

The defensive formation of the Medicine King Tower’s negative second floor was indeed stronger than that of the first floor.

Seeing that a brute force attack was clearly impossible to breach the defense, Qin Niu scratched his head in anxiety.

“Could the Green Demon Bee break through?”

At this time, Qin Niu thought of relying on Summoning Pets to break the formation.

Aside from Green Ox, who was too large to bring along, all his other pets were with him.

The first one that came to mind was the Green Demon Bee.

Because the Green Demon Bee had already advanced to the Ninth Level and was currently striking towards the Tenth Level. Its combat power was incredibly formidable.

It had been the Green Demon Bee that had initially shattered the Mirage Insect’s avatar.

Qin Niu summoned it from within the Hundred Treasures Insect Bag.

The Green Demon Bee had devoured all its offspring to try to advance, but still failed to reach the Tenth Level. It remained a Ninth Level Insect Pet.

For insect creatures, advancing to Tenth Level was exceedingly difficult.

“Go, break the defensive formation ahead, and then I’ll help you break through to Tenth Level.”

Now that Qin Niu had advanced to Tenth Level, he seemed clearly more confident when facing this powerful pet.

For a prolonged period in the past, he was stuck in the awkward predicament where the master was weaker than his pets.

With its high intelligence, upon hearing Qin Niu’s promise, the Green Demon Bee immediately flew excitedly towards the entrance that led to the second underground layer.

However, it received the same treatment as Qin Niu.

Hardly had it flown in when it was harshly bounced out and fell to the ground. Despite its formidable defenses and not being hurt, it flapped its wings and took off again, charging towards the entrance to the second layer underground.

It was still harshly bounced back.

After trying repeatedly, the Green Demon Bee reluctantly gave up.

Seeing that the Green Demon Bee was ineffective, Qin Niu prepared to try the Termites instead.

A multitude of Termites were summoned, rushing toward the entrance to the second underground layer. They too were blocked, then they came together to form the All-Heaven Myriad Insects Formation and launched an attack on the defensive formation.

Unfortunately, all their efforts were in vain.

They were like ants trying to shake a tree, entirely unable to break the defensive formation.

Just as Qin Niu was about to think of other methods, a figure shot out from the second underground layer, it was Xiao Qing.

On her forehead was a striking purple flame totem.

Her face was tear-streaked, as if she had cried in sorrow, her eyes swollen.

“Master!”

Xiao Qing’s voice was somewhat hoarse.

“I was just worried that you might encounter danger down there. I’m glad you came out safe.”

Qin Niu said gently to comfort her.

“I’m sorry for making Master worry. I was observing the entrance to the second underground layer when suddenly, a great force pulled me in. But I didn’t encounter much danger inside. Instead, I gained some significant opportunities. This is the Purple Flame Divine Fire seed that I acquired down there.”

Xiao Qing extended her right hand, opened it, and as her mind moved, a ball of purple flame danced in her palm.

It was identical to the purple fire that filled the first underground layer.

The only difference was that this ball of Purple Flame Divine Fire was produced by Xiao Qing through the seed. As long as her cultivation power was sufficient, she could endlessly display this kind of purple fire.

“It’s wonderful that you could gain such a significant opportunity. Do not let others easily find out about your acquisition of the Purple Flame Divine Fire seed; it will greatly benefit your alchemy in the future.”

Qin Niu instructed her.
