Refining divine pills, controlling divine beasts, and the useless lady is so cool

Chapter 446 The Locked Chamber

Seeing that the old man didn't pay attention to him, Dongfang Ga, who was the first to follow the old man into the Phoenix Hall, spoke with an attentive face: "Senior, what do we need to do to gain your approval?"

The old man suddenly laughed, turned his head and stared at Dongfang Ga, waved at him, and he immediately walked up to the old man.

"If you want my approval, it's very simple. See that door in front? Walk in. As long as you can walk out safely, you will have my approval."

Dongfang Ga was secretly happy, thinking that he was right to come forward. He looked in the direction the old man pointed and saw an ordinary door in front of him.

As if he was afraid that someone else would get there first, he immediately headed towards the door. The moment he opened the door, a huge heat wave hit him, baking him completely black.

But he just thought it was an ordinary test, and took a step forward with gritted teeth. Unexpectedly, a snake tail stretched out from inside and directly wrapped around his neck.

His eyes widened instantly, and he reached out to grab the snake's tail, trying to move it away from his neck.

"Senior, what is this?"

While struggling, he turned around and looked in the direction of the old man. Until now, he still did not suspect the old man's ulterior motives.

The old man was very satisfied with his attitude: “You, young man, have a sweet mouth, and I think your blood should be sweet too, because you are favored by this beast.

But... I can't help you, so I won't ask you to go in. As long as you can break free from this beast's restraints, you will gain my approval."

Dongfang Ga was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe. He tried hard to use his spiritual energy to attack the snake's tail, but his attack was like a tickle to the snake's tail.

After attacking for a long time, the snake's tail still showed no signs of letting up. He began to panic: "Senior, can I give up? I don't want your approval anymore. Please let this thing let me go."

His voice was a little hoarse. His vocal cords were damaged after being strangled for so long. He almost exhausted all his strength to say just a short sentence.

But Dongfang Ga was not stupid. He immediately took out the pill and swallowed it, so that he could hold on for a while.

The old man did not move forward because of his words. He just sighed and said, "Young man, you can't go back on your decision. I can't control that beast either."

There was a hint of helplessness in his tone. No matter how stupid Dongfang Ga was, he realized that something was wrong. Knowing that asking the old man for help was useless, he immediately turned his attention to the man who came with him.

"Zongjun, save me!"

As soon as Dongfang Ga finished speaking, a burst of fire suddenly came from the door and headed towards Zong Jun.

Zong Jun was startled by the sudden attack. He dodged left and right, but was eventually burned at the corner of his clothes.

He immediately waved his clothes frantically, took them off and stomped on them several times before putting out the fire. Seeing his miserable appearance, everyone hid away from him.

Zong Jun was also a little embarrassed and annoyed. He looked at Dongfang Ga and said in a very bad tone: "I didn't see you call me when there was something good, but now you come to me when you are in trouble? I won't help you!"

Dongfang Ga's face became more and more ugly. Zong Jun turned his head away and stopped looking at him. Everyone watched as Dongfang Ga died under the entanglement of the snake's tail, and his hands gradually dropped down.

And at the moment of his death, the snake's tail swept him into the room, and the door slammed shut again.

Dongfang Ga was a cultivator of the fourth level of Spiritual Emperor, which was considered to be of average strength here. He died in front of everyone, and everyone was somewhat saddened.

Seeing this, the old man showed no sympathy on his face. Instead, he looked at everyone and said helplessly, "He just had bad luck. I'm just an ordinary person and can't interfere with these things. I'm also powerless."

He is still pretending, but everyone is already on guard.

The old man didn't care. He believed that the conditions he offered would make these people surrender.

In order to keep these people going, he had to reveal some of his cards.

"Look, this is the Phoenix. It's at the top of the palace right now, waiting for your arrival. Perhaps it will choose one of you as its master."

The old man showed a picture in front of everyone, and those who had just retreated became eager to take action again after seeing this.

What if? What if they were really chosen by the Phoenix...

Everyone was thinking the same thing, and no one wanted to leave.

The old man could see through their thoughts at a glance, and he sneered at them in his heart, but his face remained as kind as before.

"You're actually willing to step into the Phoenix Palace. Isn't your purpose for the Phoenix? Even without a contract, just catching a glimpse of it is already lucky enough."

However, although the people who stayed behind were somewhat tempted, no one dared to be the first to rush forward like Dongfang Ga. After all, they were also afraid that their fate would be the same as Dongfang Ga's.

Mu Qingli looked at the old man's calm face, and then looked at the door behind him. In addition to that door, there was also a secret room, but the secret room was locked.

Yun Xiao conveyed information in the space, asking Mu Qingli to find the key, which was the correct direction.

Seeing that no one had spoken, Mu Qingli didn't want to wait any longer, so he took a step forward and asked, "Senior, isn't there something in the other sect?"

When Mu Qingchen heard his sister talking, he was startled at first, but he knew his sister well and did not stop her.

When the others heard someone asking questions at this time, they subconsciously looked at Mu Qingli. At the same time, those who were closer to Mu Qingli silently moved their positions, fearing that they would be implicated.

Mu Qingli ignored them and waited quietly for the old man's reply.

The old man glanced at her, his expression seemingly unchanged, but Mu Qingli looked closely and saw a flash of panic in his eyes.

He didn't rush to answer. Instead, he took two steps towards the secret room and showed the lock to everyone: "This is just an abandoned secret room. Many people have died in it. I locked it so as not to scare you."

As he spoke, he glanced at everyone lightly. Seeing that they all lowered their heads subconsciously, the uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated.

Perhaps they were just curious about this secret room.

His hand accidentally swung the lock on the secret room, and a key appeared in his hand. The key pressed against the keyhole, and he stopped and looked in the direction of Mu Qingli:

"It seems you're very curious about this secret room. How about I open it and let you take a look inside?"

His tone was nonchalant, as if he was talking about something funny.
