I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

As they got closer and closer to the Fire City, Su Mo thought back to yesterday in the church when Huo Yan tried his best to conceal his eagerness to obtain the Five Elements Spirit Essence. Su Mo could sense what he was thinking clearly.

It was precisely because Huo Yan was secretive that Su Mo became suspicious. That's why Su Mo didn't completely believe what Huo Yan said about the so-called dangers of obtaining the Five Elements Spirit Essence. Even though she believed that what Huo Yan said was true, she didn't believe it was all.

At first she didn't understand why Huo Yan did this. Su Mo could understand that Huo Yan didn't want her to know the importance of the Five Elements Spirit Essence, but since he wanted Su Mo to help him find the spirit essence, he shouldn't be so evasive and not explain things clearly.

If Su Mo failed due to incomplete information, it would not be the result Huo Yan wanted to see, but he still did it, which Su Mo did not quite understand.

It was not until Su Mo found an excuse to leave that he told Xiaota about this.

After Xiaota told Su Mo how precious the Five Elements Spirit Essence was, Su Mo had a new guess. It must be very difficult to get such a treasure. Huo Yan must be afraid that if he made things sound too difficult, he would just give up and not dare to go, right?

Thinking about it this way, Su Mo had to admit that Huo Yan's concerns were indeed correct. If the small tower had not told him that the Five Elements Spirit Essence was a treasure that could help one comprehend the Five Elements Law, Su Mo would definitely not take the risk for the Xuan Ling Stone.

She wanted to exchange the Mysterious Spirit Stones, but she was not stubborn. How could she go head-on when she knew it was dangerous? Besides, she still had the Association as a way out. At worst, she could just let the Association act as a middleman and help her exchange the Mysterious Spirit Stones with the Fire Spirit Tribe. That would be fine.

But now that Su Mo knows how precious the Five Elements Spirit Essence is, she will certainly not give up because of the unknown crisis. The temptation of the top treasure to her is no less than that to others.

Although Su Mo had made the decision on the way back yesterday, returning to the academy was not entirely an excuse. She had to go in search of the Five Elements Spirit Essence and it was impossible to tell how much time it would take. She would also lose contact with Blue Star because of going to another secret realm, so it was necessary to go back and arrange things for the academy.

Su Mo spent a day arranging the recent work directions for various parts of the college, restocked the warehouse with goods, and informed the college's leadership team that she would be on a business trip and her return date was uncertain.

After that, Su Mo couldn't wait to leave. Besides the reason that the treasure was calling her, Su Mo also wanted to know if something unpleasant would happen in the academy if she lost contact with this place.

Country A, the City of Fire.

Seeing that Su Mo really came as promised, Huo Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He actually regretted letting Su Mo leave yesterday. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He should not have let Su Mo leave. But at that time, Huo Yan really didn't dare to act too anxious, as he was worried that Su Mo would get angry and that Su Mo would refuse to go.

As the clan leader, Huo Yan felt that his life was so difficult!

No matter how upset he was, he had already let the person go. Huo Yan could only wait anxiously while comforting himself - as long as Su Mo still wanted the Xuanling Stone, he would have to come back and compromise with him.

Compared to him going alone to compete for the spiritual essence with an opponent of unknown strength next year, Huo Yan certainly hopes that Su Mo will go this year. The clan's fire spirit source crystals have been out of supply for a long time, and it would be best if they could get the supply one day earlier.

Huo Yan knew his own situation. Even if he could successfully form a pill next year, he would have no chance of winning against the elite troops sent by the other four spirit tribes.

While Huo Yan was waiting anxiously, Su Mo arrived and clearly expressed his willingness to find the Five Elements Spirit Essence. Huo Yan suppressed his excitement and agreed without hesitation.

"As long as you can bring back the spiritual essence, you will be a good friend of my Fire Spirit Clan! In the future, the Mysterious Spirit Stones produced by my Fire Spirit Clan will definitely be provided to you first."

Seeing him like this, Su Mo took the opportunity to ask, "It seems that the Five Elements Spiritual Essence is really important to you."

"Yes, it is indeed very important to our Fire Spirit Clan. It is a key resource for our clan's cultivation. It is not that important to others. It is just an ordinary treasure from heaven and earth." Huo Yan gave the answer.

Huo Yan thought that what he said was correct. In fact, Huo Yan only knew that the Fire Spirit Source Crystal needed to be irrigated with the Five Elements Spirit Essence, but he didn't know why or whether the Spirit Essence had other functions.

Like Bai Bai, their inherited memories were also opened at fixed stages. Huo Yan, who hadn't even condensed his golden elixir yet, had only opened a section of inherited memory and didn't know much.

Su Mo: "..."

"Let's go. Since Principal Su has made his decision, please follow me." Huo Yan wanted Su Mo to set off as soon as possible and motioned Su Mo to follow him.

Su Mo also wanted to set off as soon as possible, so she followed silently.

They soon entered the secret realm of the Fire Spirit Clan, whose entrance was located in the back hall of the church. Su Mo followed Huo Yan through the Fire Spirit Clan's territory and came to the highest-standard altar of the Fire Spirit Clan.

Originally, outsiders were not allowed to enter such a place, but Su Mo was the foreign aid that Huo Yan found temporarily. For the sake of the Fire Spirit Source Crystal and the future of the Fire Spirit Clan, it was imperative to break the rules.

Below the long steps of the altar, a five-color halo with a diameter of about one meter emits a soft colorful halo. The colorful halo is very eye-catching and people can't take their eyes off it.

Su Mo was also attracted. As soon as she entered the sacrificial site, she saw the unpredictable soft light ball. She couldn't help but want to see clearly what was inside.

"Principal Su!" Huo Yan's voice rang in Su Mo's ears. He reminded him, "Don't stare at that place. That halo will cause damage to your soul!"

Huo Yan is now counting on Su Mo to do things for him, but he doesn't want Su Mo to get injured before he sets out.

Just when Su Mo's attention was drawn back to Huo Yan's voice, another voice sounded in her space.

"That person is making a fuss out of nothing. The master's sea of ​​consciousness is protected by me, Pang Pang. The master's soul is very safe! I'm not afraid of that." This voice came from Pang Pang with a little bit of arrogance.

Pangpang, the poisonous insect perched on the honey fruit tree, noticed its owner's gaze, so it twisted its body and made a request.

"Master, Master, can Fatty eat the colorful one!?"

Su Mo: "..."

"Don't pay attention to it! If it swallows the halo, the teleportation array will be useless." The characters on the small tower sent a warning.

The monsters such as Pangpang and Baibai who have made a contract with Su Mo cannot sense Xiaota's existence, but Xiaota knows them very well. Worried that Su Mo will be misled by the fat worm, Xiaota has to remind them.

Su Mo glanced at the fat bug in the space that was trembling because of the gaze of the small tower.

"Isn't it enough that you can absorb my spiritual energy every day? Wanting to eat everything will only harm you."

“Wooooooaaaaa~! No, I don’t want to eat it, Fatty doesn’t want that!”

"Okay, stop howling." Su Mo was helpless.

“I know, master…” He answered that he knew, but he was still whimpering softly, and it seemed that he was really frightened by the little tower.

Su Mo sighed secretly. The talent of the nightmare insect she collected was indeed strong enough, but its personality was hard to describe.
