Chapter 1172: Contacting Tenth Seat
Chapter 1172: Contacting Tenth Seat
For a moment, Qiao Sang felt light-headed and dizzy, her eyes clouded with bewilderment and despair.
Suddenly, something clicked in her mind, and her heartbeat quickened again.
No, something’s off!
The Jujiji saw part of Fangy’s journey from life to death. It witnessed Fangy’s Evolution due to the Li Huo Jing, the True Fire Crystal, and the Sun Crystal. Therefore, the Li Huo Jing must still be obtainable!
At this realization, Qiao Sang regained her usual composure.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy suddenly cried out, her voice filled with anguish.
Her Evolution materials!
"Xunxun…"
The Treasure Seeker sighed softly and patted Fangy’s shoulder in consolation.
"Don’t worry", Qiao Sang reassured her. "Remember, the Jujiji only mentioned those three Evolution materials after seeing Fangy’s future Evolution scene."
The Treasure Seeker silently withdrew her claws.
"Fangy…"
Hearing this, Fangy paused, her despair lifting slightly. She sighed and murmured, surprised that Li Ou Yasi had died without them realizing. After all, it had warmth, and could be touched—it seemed alive.
Before Qiao Sang could respond, Migala’s voice drifted over faintly:
"Would someone mind explaining what you were discussing with Li Ou Yasi, and why we were suddenly expelled?"
"What, you don’t know anything?" Qiao Sang looked at her, surprised.
Her expression was painfully obvious. Migala continued flatly, "Meimei and Dragon King didn’t translate for me."
Pengamei pretended not to hear, maintaining her poker face.
"Momo."
Dragon King nonchalantly picked his nose and grunted, indicating she hadn’t said anything earlier.
Migala: "…"
"It’s like this", Qiao Sang began heavily, recounting every detail of Li Ou Yasi’s confession inside the cave.
After listening, Migala fell silent for several seconds.
"I truly didn’t expect…"
She’d assumed Li Ou Yasi was merely old or gravely ill. If she’d known the truth, she’d never have asked so bluntly.
"Neither did I", Qiao Sang sighed, exhausted.
Who could’ve guessed this warm, living creature—capable of illness and healing under the Healing Light—was merely a Spirit Body?
They’d thought finding Li Ou Yasi was a stroke of luck, finally securing the Li Huo Jing. Instead, they were told it was the world’s only Spirit Body of Li Ou Yasi.
It felt like having a treasure vanish from your hands, then being told it was tossed into the ocean without even a map.
The emotional highs and lows had been brutal.
"What now?" Qiao Sang asked.
With an S-Rank Beastmaster escorting them, she’d grown accustomed to leaving strategic thinking to others.
Migala glanced at the barrier-covered cave entrance and said, "Let’s return first."
As the words left her mouth, Pengamei’s eyes flashed blue light.
In the next instant, the two women and their familiars vanished into thin air.
…
Back in the hotel suite, shadowy figures materialized.
"Tingting!"
Tingbao had long grown used to sudden scene changes. Spotting his surroundings, he immediately recognized where he was and let out a loud cry.
The Original Ice Jellyfish in the corner silently emitted her chilling aura.
Migala looked at it and ordered, "Go inside first."
The jellyfish remained still, continuing its chill aura.
"Teacher, it’s hard of hearing", Qiao Sang explained, then raised her voice: "Unit Three, retreat to the inner room!"
"Yuanyuan!"
The jellyfish finally responded, closing the door behind it as it retreated.
The room’s temperature immediately felt stifling.
Tingbao, who’d just settled down to relax, floated into the air, ready to follow.
Lulu glanced at him, her chilling aura suddenly intensifying.
"Tingting!"
Feeling the temperature drop, Tingbao cried out in delight, spinning around to settle back down.
Migala sat on the sofa, her voice heavy:
"Divine Beasts are rare, and encountering another Li Ou Yasi to obtain the Li Huo Jing is nearly impossible. Li Ou Yasi himself confirmed he’s the only Flame Sky Star Li Ou Yasi in existence. Our only option now is to seek out any Li Huo Jing left behind by his original body."
The Li Huo Jing was a secretion from a Divine Beast Li Ou Yasi’s eyes, capable of drastically increasing the heat of a Fire Pet Beast’s energy. If properly absorbed, it could even change the flame’s color—a treasure any owner would hoard.
According to the Spirit Body’s account, Li Ou Yasi’s original body had perished around the same ancient era as Xialala—over a century ago.
Even if someone had obtained the Li Huo Jing in that era, it would’ve been used up long ago…
As these thoughts raced through Qiao Sang’s mind, she abruptly decided, "Let’s ask Tenth Seat!"
She could only pin her hopes on Tenth Seat now.
Initially, she’d planned to request any missing Evolution materials from Tenth Seat upon leaving Flame Sky Star, as promised. But with the true Li Ou Yasi confirmed dead, she needed to act sooner.
If Tenth Seat didn’t have it, she’d have to explore other options before getting stuck here indefinitely. Compared to the Sun Crystal’s vague trail, the Li Huo Jing had no trail at all—it was far more scarce.
Migala pondered briefly and nodded, "Agreed. It’s our only option."
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy’s eyes lit up, hope reigniting. She chirped eagerly, ready to contact Tenth Seat immediately.
"Momo."
Dragon King’s steady voice cut in.
Contacting Tenth Seat couldn’t be so casual.
Before he finished speaking, Qiao Sang pulled out her mobile phone: "I’ll call them now."
Dragon King: "???"
Just like that?!
Stunned, Dragon King hurried to her side, trying to peek at the number. But Qiao Sang had already dialed and lifted the phone to her ear.
Dragon King shifted to straining his ears instead.
"Use the speakerphone", Migala suggested.
Qiao Sang pressed the button without a word.
The familiar "Dudu" dial tone immediately echoed through the room.
For the first time, Dragon King gave Migala a look of genuine approval.
Soon, the call connected. A voice brimming with authority came through the speaker:
"Chuanwei."
