People in Doupo: The beginning of the game intercepts the rich woman Xun'er

When Xun'er heard the words "marriage proposal," she was slightly taken aback. Her beautiful eyes, which were usually full of clear light, seemed to be filled with tiny starlight, and instantly became glistening with a thin layer of crystal.

The tears welling up weren't entirely tears of emotion; they were more the longing and anticipation that had been building up in my heart for so long, like a dormant flower bud finally waiting for its moment to bloom, quietly unfolding in my eyes.

"Brother Xiao Ling..."

Looking at Xiao Ling's serious expression, her fingertips unconsciously tightened, and the warm touch from her palm became increasingly clear.

The next second, the pent-up emotions finally turned into action. Xun'er gently tiptoed and threw herself completely into Xiao Ling's arms.

Her soft body pressed against Xiao Ling's firm chest, and she could clearly feel the steady flow of fighting spirit within him, as well as that unique, reassuring aura that belonged only to him.

Xiao Ling had already opened his arms and held her tightly. His hands gently covered her back, deliberately very lightly, as if he were cherishing a rare treasure.

He could feel the shoulders of the person in his arms trembling slightly, so he held her even tighter, expressing his feelings with silent gestures.

Xiao Xuan, who was not far away, took in the whole scene. A gratified smile appeared on his aged face, and a hint of warmth appeared in his cloudy eyes.

He slowly turned around, his steps extremely light, as if blending into the silent light and shadow of the palace, quietly leaving this warm space, leaving all the time to the two people embracing.

The tenderness in the palace lingered for a moment. Xiao Ling gently patted Xun'er's back, his fingertips slowly caressing her still slightly trembling shoulder line, and whispered a few more words of comfort.

Only when the tears in the eyes of the person in his arms had completely faded, leaving only a faint blush on her cheeks, did he release his arms, but not his hands. His fingertips remained firmly clasped in her palms, with just the right amount of force, steadily transmitting that warmth to her.

The two walked out of the quiet room side by side. As they passed the area where the blood pool had been, Xun'er's gaze unconsciously swept over the pool of water that had returned to its tranquil state, and her fingertips twitched slightly.

Xiao Ling noticed her little movement, turned his head to look at her, a faint smile appeared in his eyes, and silently squeezed her hand, as if responding to her unspoken thoughts.

After passing through several corridors covered with a thin layer of dust but still exuding an ancient charm, the outline of the main hall gradually became clear.

As soon as they stepped into the hall, they saw Xiao Xuan sitting upright on a stone chair in the center of the hall. On the stone table in front of him was a cup of spirit tea that had been warmed up. The steam was slowly rising from the rim of the cup, spreading a faint, bitter fragrance in the air.

He heard footsteps, looked up, and his gaze first fell on the two people's clasped hands, then moved to Xun'er's flushed earlobes. A knowing smile appeared on his aged face, and his withered fingers pointed to the two stone chairs in front of him. His voice was somewhat gentle.

"Please sit down, we'll wait for you in a moment."

Xiao Ling nodded slightly to Xiao Xuan, his gaze sweeping over the still-burning beast fire in the hall, before taking Xun'er's hand and walking towards the stone chair.

He first helped Xun'er sit down on the stone chair on the left, and then sat down next to her, his fingertips never letting go of her hand, the warmth of his palm gently caressing her skin.

Xiao Xuan put down the spiritual tea in his hand, his gaze falling on Xiao Ling. A hint of inquiry appeared in his cloudy eyes, and his voice carried the weight of years: "You have just broken through to the Dou Sheng realm, so you should have already noticed the unusual movement of the new bloodline in your body, right?"

Seeing Xiao Ling's eyes flicker slightly and he nod slightly in acknowledgment, Xiao Xuan continued, "Your special physique is truly remarkable. It allows three top-tier bloodlines to completely break down barriers and transform into a naturally formed new power. Such a perfect fusion is extremely rare even in the entire history of the Dou Qi Continent."

He paused, his fingertips lightly tapping the edge of the stone table, his tone now more resolute.

"This new bloodline will be the most solid foundation for you on your path of cultivation. When you try to reach higher realms in the future, your foundation will be several times more stable than that of an ordinary Dou Sheng, and your advancement speed will be far greater than before."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling nodded slowly, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing his palm. As if sensing something, the newly formed bloodline within him emanated a faint warmth.

He knew better than anyone that this fusion of bloodlines was extraordinary. The domineering power of the Supreme Dragon Emperor's bloodline, the profoundness of the Xiao Clan's bloodline, and the purity of the Ancient Clan's bloodline were not simply superimposed, but rather the original barriers were completely shattered and blended into a completely new bloodline.

This new bloodline is like a hidden spring, constantly nourishing his cultivation foundation. The stagnation he felt when sensing the energy of heaven and earth has completely dissipated. Now, with just a thought, the surrounding battle qi will actively converge like a stream. Even the speed at which the battle qi circulates within his body is nearly 30% faster than before he broke through to the Dou Sheng realm.

This kind of transformation from the very source of one's bloodline is far more terrifying than simply breaking through to the Dou Sheng realm.

Breaking through to the Dou Sheng realm signifies entering a new stage, while the new bloodline reshapes the "root" of cultivation. This benefit is enough to support him to go further on his future path.

He paused slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in Xiao Xuan's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"In all my years, I have never seen such a special constitution as yours, and I cannot fathom the underlying principles. But I am certain that it will only bring you benefits and will not cause you any harm, so you have no need to worry about it."

Xiao Ling nodded slightly in agreement with Xiao Xuan, a relaxed smile on his face. He dodged the question by saying, "I can't figure out this special physique myself, but it has indeed helped me a lot since I started cultivating it. Perhaps it really is a talent I was born with."

His words were half true and half false, but he was perfectly clear in his mind. It wasn't some innate talent at all; it was clearly the Meteor Tear that quietly transformed his physique when it entered his body, giving the three top-tier bloodlines a perfect foundation for fusion.

However, the origin of the Meteor Tear is too special, and the circumstances involved are far beyond what can be explained now. Even if we tell Xiao Xuan the truth, it will probably only increase his doubts. It is better to keep it a secret for the time being.

Hearing this, Xiao Xuan didn't press further, assuming that Xiao Ling was blessed with good fortune and had received divine favor. His aged face beamed with even more joy. "Since it's a natural opportunity, then it's your good fortune. Just make the most of it."

Xiao Ling merely nodded slightly in response, offering no further comment on the topic, his expression conveying a sense of understanding. Then, Xiao Xuan changed the subject, his gaze sweeping over the two people in the hall, his tone becoming more serious.
"You have been in the Heavenly Tomb for two years, and in almost another year, you will be automatically teleported out. During this year, you two need to focus on cultivation and adapt to the surge of power within your bodies as soon as possible. Don't waste the opportunities of the Heavenly Tomb. Xiao Ling, you have just entered the Dou Sheng realm, and there is still much for you to comprehend. However, I will personally guide you and impart some experience to you so that you can better utilize your power."

Hearing Xiao Xuan say this, Xiao Ling's eyes suddenly brightened. He had just entered the Dou Sheng realm and his understanding of this realm was still shallow. Although he had heard Yao Chen explain the various mysteries of the Dou Sheng realm in detail, he only realized that its depth was far beyond what words could describe when he actually broke through.

Xiao Xuan was a genuine nine-star Dou Sheng at the peak during his lifetime, a figure standing at the top of the Dou Qi Continent.

Even though it is now only in the form of a soul energy body, its cultivation experience accumulated over thousands of years has not diminished in the slightest.

With such a powerful figure guiding him, it is undoubtedly the safest shortcut for him to hone his Dou Sheng realm and master new power.

As this thought crossed his mind, Xiao Ling's eyes grew more expectant, and his gaze toward Xiao Xuan became more respectful.

Seeing the expectant gleam in Xiao Ling's eyes, a knowing look appeared in Xiao Xuan's cloudy gaze, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Hehe, there's no rush to teach you. Right now, I have something more important to tell you."

Before he finished speaking, he slightly clenched his withered hand, and an ancient scroll appeared out of thin air in his palm.

The scroll was covered with flowing flame patterns, the red lines seeming to have a life of their own, faintly glowing in the dim palace.

"After observing you for many days, I have realized that you must have been to the Burning Flame Valley before, and even learned one of its most powerful techniques, the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations."

Xiao Xuan lightly tapped the scroll with his fingertips, his voice tinged with reminiscence.

"This secret technique was originally created by me before my death. Back then, a good friend of mine was the founder of Burning Flame Valley. I passed on part of the technique to him, which is why the Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire has been passed down in Burning Flame Valley. I never expected that after so many years, you, a descendant of the Xiao Clan, would learn it. It can be said to be the will of Heaven."

He handed the scroll forward, the flame pattern becoming clearer with each movement.
"This scroll contains the complete version of the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations, and also hides the final key mental technique. The Heavenly Fire Three Transformations is not just a secret technique for bursting out power in a short time. After I personally improved it, it is also the key to the Xiao clan members to condense the clan mark. If you can successfully cultivate it, you will be able to condense the Xiao clan mark. Combined with the power of your newly born bloodline, you will definitely be able to bring out the power of the clan mark to its fullest extent."

Xiao Ling reached out and took the scroll covered with flame patterns. As soon as his fingertips touched the ancient scroll, a warm but not scorching heat spread through his palm, as if tiny flames were gently dancing between his skin.

He was already familiar with the Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire, and the incomplete version he had learned in the Burning Flame Valley had been of great help to him.

Now that we have the complete version, we can not only make up for the shortcomings of the secret technique, but also use it to condense the Xiao clan's runes. The runes can further enhance our combat power, achieving a synergistic effect.

Learning the complete version of the Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire from Xiao Xuan was one of the purposes of his trip to Tianmu.

Thinking this, Xiao Ling unconsciously curled a faint smile at the corner of his mouth: "Thank you for the gift from our ancestors. I will definitely cultivate this technique with all my heart."

Xiao Xuan gazed at the scroll in Xiao Ling's hand, a wistful smile appearing on his aged face, and slowly began to speak.
"Hehe, since you have already cultivated the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations, you should know that the power of this secret technique depends entirely on the quality of the flames you subdue. The higher the grade and the purer the origin of the flames in your hands, the more remarkable the effect will be when you activate the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations."

"Back then, I subdued three different flames by chance. Seeing that they were mutually reinforcing and restraining yet could resonate with each other, I found inspiration from them and eventually created the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Flame."

At this point, Xiao Xuan's tone became more serious, and his gaze fell on Xiao Ling.
"It can be said that as long as a cultivator is compatible with this secret technique and can perfectly integrate their own flames with the technique, the benefits they gain from it are far beyond those of ordinary secret techniques, and may even exceed your imagination. And you are undoubtedly the most suitable candidate to cultivate this Heavenly Fire Three Transformations, even more suitable than your creator, me."

Upon hearing Xiao Xuan's words, Xiao Ling immediately understood. His Burning Technique was based on devouring different flames to advance, and he had already fused multiple different flames within his body, each of which was far from ordinary. If he used these different flames to activate the Three Transformations of Heavenly Flame, the potential of the secret technique would definitely be brought out more thoroughly and significantly than that of others.

An ordinary cultivator might only be able to subdue one type of strange fire in their entire life, and even Xiao Xuan only subdued three types in his lifetime. The quantity and quality of the strange fires within his body far surpassed those of the former.

Even the implication in Xiao Xuan's previous words was vaguely sensed by him. Perhaps in the eyes of this ancestor, the Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire was not so much created for himself and the Xiao clan, but rather as if it were tailor-made for him in the dark.

"Hehe, the cultivation technique you practice is indeed very powerful." Xiao Xuan seemed to see through Xiao Ling's thoughts, and spoke with a smile, his tone somewhat pertinent.

"Although it may not be the highest-grade cultivation technique I have ever seen, its growth potential is terrifyingly astonishing. It relies on devouring different flames to gain power and improve its quality. This path is both walking on the edge of a knife and domineering enough."

"Back then, I controlled those three different flames by forcefully suppressing them with my own strength, and I never thought of devouring or refining them. When I reached the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, I could control even different flames steadily with absolute power."

As he spoke, Xiao Xuan's gaze fell on Xiao Ling, full of expectation.
"But your technique is actually the most compatible with the Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire. After you devoured and refined those strange fires, they have long since become one with you, and you have mastered them to perfection. They will not resist you in the slightest. Even I was unable to achieve this back then. This Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire will definitely be revived and flourish in your hands."

"There is no time to lose. You should stay here and focus on cultivating the Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire."

As Xiao Xuan finished speaking, he gently waved his withered hand, and a faint light seemed to flow in the space beside the stone table, quietly creating a more suitable area for Xiao Ling to cultivate in peace.
"If you have any doubts during your subsequent cultivation, I will personally answer them and provide guidance, so there is no need to worry."

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, then turned to look at Xun'er beside him, a gentle smile curving his lips. After Xun'er nodded in response, he turned and walked towards the isolated cultivation area, sitting down cross-legged with practiced ease.

Holding the edge of the flame scroll between his fingertips, he slowly pressed it against his forehead. His mind instantly focused, and in the next instant, the massive amount of information contained within the scroll flowed into his mind like a rushing stream. The key points of the cultivation techniques, the methods of flame manipulation, and the crucial nodes for the condensation of clan patterns were clearly laid out in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Xiao Ling combed through the information in the scroll, then integrated these new points with his previous experience cultivating the Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire. He reviewed his past cultivation insights in his mind, and in an instant, he had a complete understanding of the two. (End of Chapter)
