Chapter 1041 The Key to the Underground Palace
Yunxi put away the array plate, appeared in front of Bingyi and Baihu, and lifted the ice seal on Menglanjun.

Bai Qiao spoke first:

"Congratulations, Fairy Ranxi, on your cultivation level."

Bai Xiao extended his tiger claws and pushed the storage rings, storage bracelets, and storage belts on the ground in front of Yun Xi, saying in a somewhat obsequious tone:
"Congratulations on your recovery, Fairy. This is a gift to celebrate."

Yunxi smiled, pursing her lips. These two really knew how to use someone else's flower to curry favor. But she still smiled and said:

"You can choose some rare and precious materials that will help your cultivation and keep them for yourselves. We'll deal with the rest when we get to the Immortal City."

Bai Xiao shook his tiger whiskers and said:

"My husband and I are not greedy, so we only chose two items, and the fairy will decide the rest."

Yunxi clearly sensed that the two were treating her unusually well. Just as she was about to ask what was going on, Menglanjun, who had been unsealed, turned her neck and walked stiffly to Yunxi's side:

"Ranxi, are you alright? How did I get frozen? What exactly came out of your body? How can it be so domineering?"

Yunxi felt a little guilty, touched her nose, and briefly explained what had happened. She only said that because she lost consciousness and could not control the strange fire, he was frozen for so long. Then she quickly stuffed the wood-attribute natural treasures that she had scavenged from the evil immortal's storage equipment into Menglanjun's arms as compensation.

"Lan Jun, because Dian Dian was attacked while ransacking the Fan family's storeroom, we didn't get many good items. How about we let you choose first after we leave?"

"No problem at all."

Meng Lanjun readily agreed. Although it was an accident, he had also been frozen for over fifty years, so he felt no guilt about accepting this compensation. After all, his temporary partner hadn't abandoned him at the crucial moment. He didn't want to pursue anything more; some things lose their meaning once they're out in the open.

After Menglanjun refined some wood-attribute natural treasures, the two of them and the two tigers began to explore the entire underground palace. This was a stronghold of the evil immortals, and there must be a reason why they set up their stronghold so secretly.

However, after they left the place, they discovered that the reason they had been able to live there peacefully for more than 50 years was because the underground palace had not been fully explored, and the place they had stayed was only the outer perimeter of the underground palace.

Yunxi rubbed her hands together and said:
"This is a good place. I have just broken through and need to gain experience to consolidate my cultivation. It's like a pillow being delivered when I'm sleepy."

Meng Lanjun cultivated through plant cultivation, and all he needed to do was absorb the essence of heaven and earth to cultivate. This time, he successfully broke through to the eighth rank by refining the essence of the Blue Hat Illusionary Fungus. He had tasted the sweetness of success, and the time he spent with Yun Xi was quite enjoyable. He temporarily abandoned his thoughts of splitting up and wanted to train with Yun Xi, so he responded enthusiastically:

"Since this place hasn't been completely occupied by the evil immortals, it proves that the good things in the underground palace have been preserved. We are among the first to explore, so we're sure to gain something."

Yunxi nodded and led the way into a narrow passage. Menglan followed behind her, followed by Bai Qiao and Bai Xiao. Although the group was very cautious, they did not move slowly.

After exiting the passage, they came to an open square. In the center of the square was a black statue of three figures standing back to back, but their faces were hidden under wide hoods, making them difficult to see clearly.

Yunxi carefully took her first step, and the next moment a white mist instantly engulfed the four of them. The instant the white mist appeared, Yunxi threw out a red rope, connecting herself with Menglanjun, while the Ice Tiger couple had already merged into one, swinging their tiger claws to freeze the mist.

A dark shadow flashed before Yunxi's eyes and attacked her. She instinctively dodged away from her previous position and flicked out a ball of purple flame to meet the fleeting shadow. The next second, a shrill scream entered her ears, making her momentarily dazed.

The Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella automatically flew out from the dantian, and the open canopy blocked the dark shadow. Hei Yao roared and flew out of the canopy to entangle the dark shadow. Only then did Yun Xi tilt the Netherworld Dragon Umbrella and look at the dark shadow that was entangled by Hei Yao. Then she was stunned.

Because what attacked her was a black jade tablet with black wings, and at this moment, the opponent's wings were entangled by obsidian. Although it struggled hard, it could not break free and eventually gave up. A slightly slick voice entered Yunxi's ears:

"Madam, please let your black snake release me. You have passed the test and can now enter the underground palace for training."

Yunxi looked at the sentient creature in front of her, her lips twitched, and then she said with some displeasure:
"Who's the eldest sister? This fairy is in her prime. I don't like your title. Change it, or I'll have Black Obsidian shred your wings. Let's see how you fly then. Also, my Black Obsidian is a Nether Dragon!"

Hei Yao understood Yun Xi's intention and quickly tightened his body, aiming to crush the opponent's wings.

"Hey, hey, hey! Beautiful fairy, let's talk this out. Don't be so impulsive. Impulsiveness is the devil. If you ruin me, I won't be able to get the inheritance."

Yunxi then nodded to Heiyao, who relaxed slightly. Yunxi raised an eyebrow and said:

"Come on, introduce yourself so that this fairy can get to know you."

The black jade tablet with a pair of black wings twisted its body, but finding it still unable to break free from Obsidian's control, it resigned itself to its fate and said:
"I am the jade key to the Heavenly Garden Underground Palace. After the underground palace sank into the ground, I have been guarding this place, waiting for the day when the underground palace will see the light of day again."

Yun Xi nodded in understanding. This jade key had definitely developed consciousness, but it had been trapped here because of its duty. Now that someone had finally entered, it couldn't wait to jump out. However, he still asked with some confusion:
"Little Key, a group of people came into the underground palace before, why didn't you show yourself?"

"Don't even mention it. How could those wicked bastards be worthy of entering the underground palace left by our master? The only reason I didn't kill them was because I couldn't leave this place."

The little key was truly furious. In order to enter the underground palace, those evil immortals had actually forcefully broken through the design their master had made on the outside. They were just one passage away from reaching it.

He had already made his plans. As the central figure of the entire underground palace, he was determined to ensure that these guys would never return and would be trapped and die within the palace. Just as he was rubbing his hands together, preparing to trick these people, the wicked fairy who was leading them actually brought back two people.

He didn't know what had happened, but these bad guys were instantly frozen. Even from this distance, he could feel his wings stiffening, so he didn't dare to get close and instead hid deep inside the underground palace.

After that, he would observe the movements over there whenever he had free time. Fifty years passed in this wait. Finally, the two men and two tigers made a move and moved in his direction. He prepared to test them, but he was easily outmaneuvered.

Yunxi looked at the chattering little thing, somewhat speechless, and finally interrupted:

"The one I destroyed was an evil immortal. I indirectly helped you and your master. Now, can you tell me about the origin and purpose of the underground palace?"
