Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 125 Water and Fire
All eyes in the private room were attracted.

This kind of "Dharma nature" contest does not have the huge power of spells, nor the proactive response in actual combat, but it is the best way to show the level of cultivation.

Some people couldn't help but secretly make hand gestures, open their Dharma eyes and look carefully, and suddenly, they could see a little fire blooming in the void.

Looking at the light, he actually felt a surge of heat, as if a raging flame was emerging from deep within his body, ready to burst out from his meridians, bones, blood, seven orifices, and every pore, burning his body and soul into a torch.

But when I distracted myself, these things didn't happen. It's just that the fire in my body seemed to be uneven, which made me feel anxious.

But his expression still changed, because he knew that this was not an illusion. The reason why it did not happen was simply because he was not the one who was affected, that's all.

He looked at the sky. It seemed like just a drop of wine was flying slowly by, but in his eyes, it was a raging tide, surging layer by layer...

The waves are rolling and the water is surging.

Practitioners create their own methods by observing the heaven and earth, and thus they have this extremely typical and subtle water technique. People who are proficient in this art, when practicing water techniques, can accumulate more powerful momentum with every inch of progress and every moment of fighting, until they have gathered a tremendous amount of water force that can overwhelm any enemy.

Even if it is not demonstrated through magic, it should be so.

But the fact is, with every inch of wine that goes in, the water becomes weaker.

From beginning to end, Xu Heng just sat in front of the jade table, and even had time to pick up the teacup and take a sip.

However, in the void, there were invisible flames surging around him, and the ultimate "fire nature" bloomed, releasing the smell of burning everything.

Fire means destruction.

Water can conquer fire, but if the flame is strong enough, it can also evaporate all the water.

The surging 'water force', under his 'flame', could not accumulate any strength, it could only burn, evaporate, and disappear. When it reached him, its Dharma nature had been exhausted, and it was just a drop of wine, as ordinary as it looked on the surface.

That's it.

"It's rude to come and not reciprocate."

Xu Heng put down the teacup and flicked his finger lightly on the drop of wine.

Whoosh-!
That drop of wine flew back with unprecedented force.

Nangong Yu's eyes revealed a solemn expression. He suddenly reached out his left hand, took the wine bottle in his hand, and caught the drop of wine in it.

The onlookers only saw a flash before their eyes, and the drop of wine had already fallen into the bottle. They all looked down and found that the bottle contained not wine, but a huge lake, or even an ocean!

"The Taihe Huayuan Sutra, Brother Nangong has really shown his true abilities." Fu Xixuan was sitting next to Nangong Yu, and his heart suddenly moved.

It is rumored that the Taihe Sect's "Taihe Huayuan Sutra" was inherited from a powerful man in the Middle Ages. Even among the major sects in the world, it is a first-class Taoist method. After it is cultivated, the magic power is as deep as the sea.

No matter what it is, once it falls into the deep sea, it will not cause any waves.

Nangong Yu then smiled slightly and put the wine jar back on the jade table, but before his fingertips left the bottom of the jar, he felt a hot sensation penetrating his skin.

Nangong Yu withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted. There was clearly no burn on his fingertips, but he knew clearly that he was burned by the fire.

He looked into the jug again and saw flames burning on the surface of the wine.

The deep sea can swallow everything, but fire can burn the deep sea and boil it.

“Hahahaha!” Fu Xixuan suddenly laughed out loud, clapped his hands and shouted, “Excellent! The water-fire contest between Brother Nangong and Brother Xu Dao is truly wonderful!” As soon as Fu Xixuan spoke, someone immediately responded, “That’s right, that’s right! Anyone who has the good fortune to watch this today will surely gain a great understanding of the principle of the mutual generation and restraint of water and fire!”

Nangong Yu put his left hand into his sleeve, a slight smile appeared on his face, and he said to Xu Heng: "Daoyou's fire method is indeed very advanced. It really opened my eyes."

The lady beside him understood his intention and brought a new wine bottle and filled it up. Nangong Yu then raised it with one hand and gestured to Xu Heng from a distance.

Xu Heng picked up the teacup again and gestured, then took a sip. A visible and invisible contest thus came to an end.

"Junior brother." Ling Lingxiu's eyes sparkled as he said, "You are able to defeat Nangong Yu. Your attainments in fire magic are remarkable even among the Gangsha cultivators."

Xu Heng smiled slightly. He was quite satisfied with the result, not because he was slightly better than Nangong Yu, but because it proved his progress in Taoism.

During the days when his magic power growth was in trouble, he did not give up his practice, but instead focused on his experience and understanding, which now seems to be quite effective.

As for Ling Lingxiu's praise, he did not take it too seriously. It was not that he felt it was too flattering, but he was a direct disciple of Qiao Cheng, and he usually comprehended high-level Taoism and magic. He considered himself to be quite insightful. If he could not even reach this level, it would be totally unacceptable.

Of course, if it involves magic power and cultivation, that is another matter.

……

On the other side, Nangong Yu drank it all in one gulp and put down the wine bottle. He saw Fu Xixuan with a half-smile on his face and teased, "How is it, after the defeat, are you finally convinced?"

Nangong Yu spread his hands and said, "Brother Fu, you practice all five elements, but when it comes to water magic alone, you are better than me."

"You said that Fellow Daoist Xu's attainments in fire magic are similar to yours, so shouldn't he be better than me?"

Fu Xixuan chuckled and thought to himself: That may not be the case.

In terms of water skills alone, is he really better than Nangong Yu? On the surface, it may be so, but he knows very well that Nangong Yu will only use 60% to 70% of his strength unless he is at the end of his rope. However, he has never seen such a desperate situation.

However, Xu Heng's fire skills were actually a little more advanced than he thought.

And he also knew that in Xu Heng's Taoism, 'fire' was just a representation. Of course, Xu Heng must also know that he practiced more than just fire magic.

It is this misty feeling that makes people more interested.

Fu Xixuan suddenly felt that the discussion and debate between him and Xu Heng was not very enjoyable when he recalled it. He really wanted to compete with him like Nangong Yu.

However, I had just brought Xu Heng to the party, and he had to do this again and again. Even if I had no ill intentions in my heart, I was afraid that it would spoil the fun...

When Fu Xixuan was feeling depressed, Nangong Yu flipped through the golden book of Linglong Treasure Boat again and suddenly said, "Hey, I suddenly feel that this treasure will be a little boring."

Fu Xixuan said: "If you are like me, you have some clear goals, otherwise, no matter how rare these treasures are, if they are not beneficial to your own cultivation, what's the point of looking at them?"

"How can it not be useful?" Nangong Yu turned to the last page and pointed, saying with a smile: "Who wouldn't have a use for this great medicine?"

Fu Xixuan laughed and said, "This is something that the island owners, family heads, and sect masters...are competing for with all they have. Unless Brother Nangong gets help from the sect, I'm afraid he won't be able to get involved."

Nangong Yu was not angry, he shrugged and said: "That's true, this Linglong Treasure Fair is really not worth watching, it's better to go back to Taihezhou."

"Going to Taihe Prefecture? That's not bad." Fu Xixuan said lazily, "Then ask them if they had a good time... Yes, since we've invited Fellow Daoist Xu, why not invite him to go too?"

“Haha.” Nangong Yu laughed and said, “Does Junior Brother need to say more about this matter?”
