Tianzi Jin was about to step forward and greet Li Mulin, after hearing this, since they both came from Zhongzhou.
Lu Xin, seeing this, transmitted a message, "Just because I didn't smell a problem doesn't mean there isn't one."
His 'problem or no problem' left Tianzi Jin in a daze. He suddenly felt that Lu Xin was a bit unreliable, so he stopped in place and cupped his hands, saying:
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Li. Just now..." He recounted the matter of the Red Lotus Ghost King.
Li Mulin suddenly understood, "Since that's the case, for the sake of safety, let's each go our own way."
She gave Lu Xin a strange look, finally understanding what he meant by "very fragrant." She returned the greeting slightly and then walked into the darkness beside her.
"It seems there's no problem. Let's go too."
Tianzi Jin retracted his gaze and then spoke.
Lu Xin naturally had no objections, and the three continued forward.
This time, they didn't encounter any more ghosts, only a dense wave of Yin Wind Blades once, which they dodged, and then smoothly walked out of the grand formation.
"The next level is the Hell Ghost Fire Formation, filled with icy Ghost Fire. Without fire-avoidance treasures, it's difficult for cultivators in the Composite Spirit Realm to withstand it. I have a Fire-Avoiding Pearl, but it can only protect one person."
After Tianzi Jin introduced the next checkpoint, he looked at Lu Xin.
"Does Fellow Daoist Nalan also have fire-avoidance treasures?" Lu Xin looked at Nalan Zizhu.
Nalan Zizhu nodded, not hiding anything, "I have a Fire-Avoiding Mystic Garment."
Lu Xin understood. It was impossible to wear it together with him. After thinking about it, his physical body was already invulnerable to water and fire, so resisting mere Ghost Fire would definitely be a piece of cake.
However, he didn't want to reveal his identity until a critical moment.
Therefore, he could only use the Divine Flame Cauldron. Although it didn't quite fit his image as the "Three-Nothing True Man," he had no choice.
Tianzi Jin, seeing Lu Xin remain silent for a long time, suddenly thought of his nickname, the "Three-Nothing True Man," and understood. Just then, Li Mulin also walked out of the grand formation.
After seeing her, he said to Lu Xin, "Fellow Daoist Huanglong, please wait a moment," and then approached Li Mulin.
The two whispered for a while. Li Mulin glanced at Lu Xin, hesitated, and finally nodded.
Then, the two walked over. "Fellow Daoist Huanglong, Fellow Daoist Li has a Violet Flame Divine Net, which can protect two people without any problem. She has already agreed to take you through."
"This..."
Lu Xin was moved by Tianzi Jin's actions. To get the other party to agree to take a stranger, he must have given some kind of promise.
It seemed that after this period of interaction, the other party had already recognized him.
"Then thank you both very much."
In the end, Lu Xin didn't refuse, only deciding in his heart that if there was any danger, he would save them, to repay this kindness.
"No need, let's go."
Tianzi Jin waved his hand, and then the four set off together.
After several days of trekking, the four soon arrived at the Hell Ghost Fire Formation.
"As long as you can withstand the gushing Ghost Fire in this formation, you won't encounter any other dangers."
Tianzi Jin introduced, then summoned a red pearl, "Everyone, be prepared."
Nalan Zizhu nodded, and a mystic light lit up on her body, which was the Fire-Avoiding Mystic Garment.
Li Mulin summoned a net with violet cloud patterns. As it spun and unfolded, the cloud patterns immediately transformed into a Violet Flame Divine Light, shrouding her head, looking exceptionally mysterious.
"Come in."
She looked at Lu Xin.
Lu Xin hurriedly stepped in, cupping his hands and saying, "Thank you."
Li Mulin nodded.
"Remember, don't stray too far from each other, so we can take care of each other if something happens."
After Tianzi Jin had everyone prepared, he instructed them and took the lead, heading into the formation.
The three quickly followed.
As soon as he stepped into the formation, Lu Xin didn't feel any heat. Instead, he felt a chill. He understood that this Hell Ghost Fire should be similar in nature to his Netherblue Ice Flame.
Soon, the chill dissipated, and a warmth came from the surface of his body.
It turned out that the Violet Flame Divine Net above his head was spewing out a violet flame, dispelling the chill.
"Stay close and don't walk out of the range of the violet light," Li Mulin reminded, then stepped forward to follow the two ahead.
Lu Xin quickly followed.
Soon, after walking a distance, Lu Xin discovered that this was a narrow valley, only a few dozen zhang wide. He didn't see any obvious flames, so they probably hadn't erupted yet.
Just like that, they walked another distance smoothly. Lu Xin felt that something unexpected should happen soon.
Sure enough, just as the thought arose in his mind, the ground began to shake.
"Rumble!"
Like a mountain torrent, a blue flame torrent suddenly appeared ahead, rushing towards them.
Under the torrent, the earth shook, almost causing them to lose their footing.
"It's coming! We must resist with all our strength!"
Tianzi Jin shouted solemnly, fully activating the Fire-Avoiding Pearl in his hand, and a red light shone brightly.
The other two didn't dare to be negligent either.
Only Lu Xin had nothing to do.
Soon, the torrent engulfed them. Lu Xin could see the violet light shield above his head being constantly compressed, forcing him to get much closer to Li Mulin, almost touching each other.
Feeling the fragrance lingering around his nose, Lu Xin suddenly felt a little awkward and quickly looked up at the sky to divert his attention.
"Fragrant?" Li Mulin suddenly turned her head.
"Huh?"
Lu Xin lowered his head in surprise and met her gaze. Seeing her inquiring eyes, he understood that she still remembered the words from the Yin Wind Formation, and said seriously:
"Very fragrant, but I suggest you don't be so fragrant in the future."
"Oh?" Li Mulin frowned and asked, "Why?"
"It's easy to reveal your whereabouts."
Li Mulin was stunned by this answer. This was really an unimaginable path. Finally, she nodded and said, "That makes sense."
Then, she turned her head.
After a while, the flame torrent finally passed, and the pressure on the three of them was greatly reduced. They continued to move forward.
"Fellow Daoist Huanglong, don't blame me for not reminding you, Fellow Daoist Li doesn't have a Dao Companion yet. If you want to get rid of the 'Three-Nothing True Man' nickname, you must seize the opportunity," Tianzi Jin suddenly transmitted a message.
"Is this teaching me how to be a gigolo?"
Lu Xin was stunned, thinking that he had met a good brother, but unfortunately, he didn't need it. "Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist, but let's just let it be."
He perfunctorily said.
"Suit yourself, but if you're too late, there will be no more opportunities. You should know that Fellow Daoist Li is one of the Ten Beauties of Zhongzhou, and with her precious status, those who want to form a marriage alliance could line up from the Yuanze Holy Land to our Tianji Pavilion," Tianzi Jin transmitted again.
Lu Xin was speechless, "Fellow Daoist Tian, your Tianji Pavilion wouldn't specialize in introducing Dao Companions, would it?"
He originally wanted to say, 'Isn't that being a pimp?' but he was afraid that the other party wouldn't understand, so he changed his wording.
Moreover, there were the Ten Beauties in the East Sea, the Ten Beauties in the West Wilderness, and now he had encountered one of the Ten Beauties of Zhongzhou.
He was wondering if he should also create such a list in the Southern Domain in the future.
"You don't know a good heart when you see one."
Although Lu Xin changed his wording, Tianzi Jin was able to understand what he meant to express.
Then, he stopped replying.
Lu Xin was happy to have some peace and quiet and focused on hurrying on. Who knew that Li Mulin would suddenly transmit a message and ask, "What were you guys talking about just now?"
