Chapter 885: Weeping, Collecting The Sunfire Crystals

From then on, Xuan received another nickname: the Sand Eater. In the future, after she made a name for herself in the Immortal Realm, whenever she took out Xuan to fight those who possessed sand attributes, they would always point at Xuan and roar, "That’s the Sand Devourer!!"

That was a matter for the future. For now, she had no idea how much storm she would cause in the nine realms. Currently, she was grinning happily while her eyes dazzled like moonlight. "Senior, are you willing to give us the Sunfire Crystals now? Then we won’t be polite."

The Glass Lizard Ancestor wanted to scold her but held back, gritting his teeth in anger.

"This old man is too stubborn. If only he had been willing to give them to us when we first bargained, he wouldn’t have to lose face like this," Xiao Yun muttered.

"Right, he’s already old and he dares to underestimate our lovely master. Serves him right, the old lizard man!" Xiao Li and Xiao Qiu snorted.

"Guys, I’m still alive and standing in front of you," the Ancestor said, his lips twitching while other Glass Lizards were about to start another fight over their disrespectful behavior, but were stopped by their ancestor.

"We thought you were old, and your ears don’t work as well as your brain. Obviously, if we had no power, we wouldn’t dare come here to take the Sunfire Crystals from you. You thought we underestimated our own ability, well, now you see!" Xiao Nian played with her long hair while rolling her eyes in a sassy manner. After all, who let this old man and these lizards look down on them first?

The Ancestor almost vomited blood from anger and shame but held it back. He took a deep breath and smiled while gritting his teeth. "Come on, guys, show our ’guests’ the way."

No matter how unwilling they were, they had no power to stop them. Plus, they had more important things to do and didn’t want to delay their big mission.

[Immortal Realm, The Valley of Sunfire Crystals]

The valley blazed like captured sunlight. Every blade of grass, every leaf, shone with crystalline clarity. They soon realized Sunfire Crystals manifested in myriad forms, as flora, trees, even liquid lakes. Their defining trait was the vibrant orange-yellow glow pulsing within their crystalline structures.

The landscape stretched endlessly, countless crystals radiating like embedded stars.

"Of all regions, only in our region do the Sunfire Crystals grow so abundantly. You can’t find a second place like ours," the Glass Lizard Ancestor said, crossing his arms with pride.

"Are you suggesting we need to take more crystals from you?" Xiao Yun rubbed his chin, considering it with an innocent look.

"No!!" Three dark lines appeared on the Glass Lizard Ancestor’s face.

"Even though you have so many Sunfire Crystals, we should still be polite with you. How about this, we’ll only take half of them from here," Zhiyi said, smiling ’warmly’ and ’gently.’

"Y-you, shameless!!" The Glass Lizard Ancestor’s face twitched uncontrollably. How could anyone be so shameless yet act so gentle at the same time?

"You’re an elder, we can’t afford to be rude to you," Shenlian Yinzhu’s voice echoed, agreeing to others.

The Glass Lizard Ancestor’s beard trembled.

"You won’t go back on your word, will you, Senior?" Shenlian Yingyue smiled brightly.

"I-I won’t, of course!" The Glass Lizard Ancestor’s heart was dripping with blood. He had been wrong. He thought they weren’t greedy, but he had been completely wrong!! Bullshit!!

After spending a long time helping each other collect half of the Sunfire Crystals, they took a rest.

The faces of the Glass Lizard Ancestor and the Glass Lizards were extremely sour, as if they were about to cry.

"You mentioned that this region is good for Sunfire Crystals to grow. Soon, more will grow again," Shenlian Yingyue said, squatting down next to the group of lizards in human form who looked ready to weep.

Looking at them closely like this, she realized they were quite unique. Their human forms were strange yet distinctive. They had a pair of glass horns and golden eyes that shone like golden glass. Their skin was dark honey-like and as smooth as fine-quality silk. Their eyes were round and big, like dolls’, while their hair was the color of golden sand. They wore crystal armor and stood barefoot on the sand, with a pair of crystal anklets around their ankles.

Their bodies were already accustomed to the desert’s heat during the day and its coldness at night. Even walking barefoot, nothing could hurt their skin.

"But it will take a long time for them to grow back," they retorted in trembling voices.

"Are there any methods to make them grow back faster?" She looked at them before turning to ask her companions. A plan quickly formed in her mind.

Shenlian Yinzhu and the others pondered as they caught her gaze.

"There is a method," Xiong Zi Ying and Shenlian Sheshan said simultaneously.

Shenlian Sheshan glanced at Xiong Zi Ying. He didn’t seem to want to talk to him and appeared disdainful of competing.

"You have to arrange the Sunlight Gathering Formation. With such a formation, the Sunfire Crystals will absorb solar energy faster," Xiong Zi Ying explained, unfazed by Shenlian Sheshan’s unfriendly demeanor, as he shook his sleeve.

The sunlight shone on his pink hair, making his face look even more fascinating. If not for his broad, masculine shoulders, anyone might have mistaken him for a woman, given his beauty that could make the moon and sun shy.

"These areas are vast," Xie Xie’s neutral voice echoed. Everyone could hear the disagreement in his tone, as if he didn’t want her to work under the hot sun.

"Master, you want to do this?" he asked, holding her wrist. His slender yet strong fingers intertwined with hers as he quietly moved closer.

Everyone turned a blind eye to his intimacy and nodded as they surveyed the vast valley and mountains. How long would it take to arrange such a massive formation? Not to mention that this was an advanced-tier Heaven Array, it would require many formation masters and consume a tremendous amount of spiritual power.

"Forget about it. When are you all going to leave our clan’s territory?" The Glass Lizard Ancestor shook his head and waved his hand dismissively. He didn’t want them staying here at all!
