Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes and decided to test the waters, so he said indifferently: "Oh, it's Senior Sister. I thought it was that bastard who attacked me. Oh, yeah, what's Senior Sister's name?"
"Oh, haha, I didn't understand what you said. If you want to know your name, my name is Xia Nuanqiu, and I learned from Gu Qianfan. What's your name, junior brother? And who is your disciple?" Xia Nuanqiu chuckled with her hands covering her mouth. Her laughter was light and ethereal, making people feel like spring breeze. There was nothing wrong with her reaction.
Lin Xuan thought that the bad guys were all very good at acting, so he didn't let down his guard, so he smiled back and said, "Hello, Senior Sister Xia, I am Junior Brother Lin Xuan, the new disciple of the Palace Master, and I am a true disciple of the late Qi Refining Inner Sect."
"Oh? The Palace Master has accepted a disciple? I guess my junior brother must have some outstanding qualities." Xia Nuanqiu was extremely surprised after hearing about Master Lin Xuan's identity. This was the first time that the Palace Master had accepted a disciple.
"I don't deserve it, I just got lucky. Oh yes, why did Senior Sister Xia appear here? Could it be that Senior Sister Xia also explored here from other areas?" Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes.
In the past two months, I have felt a sense of being watched, and after a warning, I forced you to show up. If you insist on lying again, it will be intriguing. How will you answer me?
Chapter 53: Purple Lotus Spirit Fire; Transaction
"No! Junior brother, you don't know. I, your senior sister, have already discovered you. I met you by chance more than a month ago. I felt that you were only at the Qi Refining stage, and it was really dangerous for you to wander around in this blazing land. I, your senior sister, have always had a chivalrous heart, so I have been secretly protecting you all the way."
"Really? Thank you very much for your protection, senior sister." Lin Xuan blinked. He didn't believe a word Xia Nuanqiu said. He noticed that the feeling of being spied on had lasted for two and a half months. Besides, why didn't you just show up and protect me?
Because you are shy? If you are shy, how can you be brave enough to take the lead and be kind-hearted?
There must be something wrong with Xia Nuanqiu. To be bold, she is the one who attacked me, right? Besides, I didn't accurately sense her cultivation, which was consistent with the strength of the guy who attacked me.
Lin Xuan was smiling on the surface, but in fact, he was very wary of Xia Nuanqiu in private.
"You're welcome. It's my duty to protect you, brother." Xia Nuanqiu waved her hand with a smile, her skirt fluttering and her ribbon swaying leisurely. It must be said that this woman's curves are really eye-catching.
Her dress and clothing styles are bolder than those of many of her fellow sisters and fellow apprentices in Xuannv Palace.
Xia Nuanqiu came to Lin Xuan's side and secretly looked at the lotus platform in the center of the magma lake. Her eyes were bright and she was very interested: "Junior brother is so lucky. He actually found a heavenly and earthly spiritual fire!"
"The Purple Lotus Spirit Fire is ranked within the top 5,000 on the Endless Void Spirit Fire list. If you can tame it, practicing fire techniques, refining pills and controlling fire will be twice as effective with half the effort." Xia Nuanqiu's eyes were so bright that it almost blinded him!
"Sister, you are making fun of me. With my strength, how can I get rid of the creatures in the secret realm that are guarding the Spirit Fire? They are at the level of the middle stage of Yongquan. I am powerless to defeat them and subdue Junior Brother Linghuo. Moreover, Junior Brother's only weapon was destroyed by some bastard, so I can't use my sword skills."
He gnashed his teeth and became angrier the more he thought about it. The chances of getting a bargain by customizing a second magic weapon-level sword were slim. After all, the level was there, and the refiner had to make back the money he had spent on the fairy gold and spiritual ore consumed in forging the sword.
Lin Xuan's face was distorted. The top-grade spiritual sword he was using now would be obsolete in the future. He could make a profit by selling it for spiritual stones or collecting it. Well, it was damaged and all he could do was put it in his personal space and collect dust.
"Since you feel sorry for me, how about I give the Purple Lotus Spiritual Fire to you? You see, you haven't practiced the Fire Dao technique, right? The Purple Lotus Spiritual Fire will be less useful to you, and I happen to be a Fire Dao practitioner, so giving this Spiritual Fire to you will make the best use of it."
"Besides, Junior Brother, you don't have the ability to subdue the Spiritual Fire. When you leave, other disciples will get the upper hand if they see it. Just give it to me in exchange for friendship. To be honest, I am close to the Purple Mansion Stage. I can trade the Purple Lotus Spiritual Fire for the friendship of a Purple Mansion True Person, so you can count it as a good deal. I will remember your kindness."
Xia Nuanqiu came up and held her hand, and persuaded her sincerely. Her hands were soft and fragrant.
The secret realm under the jurisdiction of Xuannv Palace follows the principle of first come, first served. Latecomers are not allowed to snatch the treasures of the discoverer and can only trade with the first discoverer. Otherwise, the higher-level disciples will snatch the lower-level disciples, and if it is excessive, they will force the lower-level disciples to search for treasures for them free of charge, making the lower-level disciples disgusted and refusing to purchase the secret realm again. The rules for entering the secret realm will destroy the credit value of the inner gate points.
Generally speaking, disciples who discover treasures will keep them for themselves so that they can sell them at a higher price. This is only a special case where a treasure is found in a Jedi secret realm but one does not have the ability to obtain it.
Lin Xuan's situation at the moment was very delicate. Emotionally, he was the first to discover the Purple Lotus Spirit Fire. Logically, he did not have the strength to defeat the tough guy in the magma lake. Once he left, other disciples would naturally get there first.
Because there was no violent robbery, the sect usually turned a blind eye to such situations. He silently pulled his hand back from Xia Nuanqiu's palm. This woman was so unrestrained that she made people lose their temper. She had hit the nail on the head. The best thing to do right now was to give it to her.
"You can give it to me, Senior Sister. After all, I haven't practiced the Dao of Fire, so it's quite risky to tame it. But Senior Sister has to exchange it with a treasure, at least one that is close to the value of this spiritual fire! Senior Sister, you don't know that Junior Brother is an alchemist, and this spiritual fire can also be useful to Junior Brother. Senior Sister, do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand. The value of spiritual fire in the eyes of alchemists is almost as great as a treasure." Xia Nuanqiu's eyebrows were curved like the moon, and her delicate features were pleasing to the eye. She felt like she was exchanging glances with Lin Xuan, just because he agreed to give the spiritual fire to her, even in exchange for a treasure of equal value!
"The significance of giving the Purple Lotus Spirit Fire to me is equivalent to an opportunity for enlightenment. Since I gave it to you, I will exchange it with you for a treasure that can build the foundation of my Taoism!" Xia Nuanqiu reached into the inside of her fairy skirt. Her five fingers to her wrist were barely visible. She took out a bottle.
A small emerald green bottle, the body of which was burned red by the treasure inside.
"Heavenly Sun Treasure Marrow Fluid! It's a treasure that I was lucky enough to obtain during my years of chasing after treasures from the Dao of Fire. I, your junior brother, probably have never enjoyed this treasure. Let me keep you in suspense. I will seek the help of the Palace Master. She will definitely help you maximize the use of this Heavenly Sun Treasure Marrow Fluid."
Lin Xuan took the bottle, his soul penetrated the jade bottle, and he saw a large drop of golden and hot spiritual liquid.
"There are three drops in here. I think they will be of great use to my junior brother." Xia Nuanqiu blinked. She had obtained more than ten drops. She absorbed five drops herself, traded two drops, and now traded three drops to Lin Xuan.
The transaction was completed. Lin Xuan did not leave. He stayed where he was and watched Xia Nuanqiu's methods. The latter had no intention of hiding anything. She came to the shore of the lava lake and observed for a while, but was hesitant to take action. Didn't she decide which method to use?
Xia Nuanqiu took a deep breath and put on a magic weapon she rarely used, a pair of pink and white silk gloves.
This pair of gloves looks very soft and smooth. I wanted to touch them, so I put them on her arm joints, making her hands look more slender. The pink and white color combination added a different charm, making her instantly more charming.
Her smooth feet stepped onto the surface of the molten lake, standing two inches above the surface. The heat from the molten lava could not burn her. For a fire cultivator, achieving this was a piece of cake.
At this time, a mysterious creature closer to the shore noticed Xia Nuanqiu and roared. Its main body was that of a cow, with seven long, shell-like legs growing on the sides, and a turtle shell covering the top!
The two were approaching each other within thirty feet, and their speed was so fast that Lin Xuan could only barely catch up with them with his soul. At this time, Xia Nuanqiu cast a wonderful spell, and suddenly there was a sound of terrifying waves in the distance. Three pillars of molten lava rushed up from three directions around the creature in the secret realm, surrounding it.
The next moment, countless chains shot out from the pillars condensed by magic, instantly piercing through the creature in the secret realm. It did not die, but no matter how it struggled, the magic image remained motionless!
The spell locked the creature in the secret realm. The next step was that Xia Nuanqiu walked towards the creature in the secret realm gracefully and at a leisurely pace. Under Lin Xuan's gaze, she used her finger as a knife to split the surging molten lava on the surface of the ox-shaped creature's heart, then pierced into it and crushed its power core. The ox-shaped creature could no longer maintain its shape, and the molten lava could not solidify. It completely became a dead thing and fell back into the molten lava lake.
Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat. This was too clean and neat. His expression became subtle. It was very easy for this woman to deal with him.
Chapter 54: Causes and Consequences
It is already twice the result with half the effort for a Fire Dao monk to deal with molten creatures, not to mention there is a gap of several levels in realm. With the perfect cultivation level of the twelfth level of Yongquan, it is easy for him to take out a few Fire Dao creatures in the middle stage of Yongquan.
I watched her casually extinguish the power cores of those powerful creatures.
The lava lake was three or four miles long and wide, and Xia Nuanqiu reached the central lotus platform without any effort.
"Purple Lotus Spirit Fire! It's time to eradicate my biggest worry! Although my junior brother has a deep misunderstanding of me, as long as I solve the hidden dangers of my technique, all misunderstandings will disappear!"
Xia Nuanqiu did not let Lin Xuan know that her own cultivation method was plagued by hidden dangers. She had been possessed for many years and lost control from time to time. The hidden danger came from the fire method that her master Gu Qianfan had carefully selected for her, the Tianyang Zhenjue!
There was nothing wrong with the Tianyang Zhenjue technique itself, but she was too eager for quick success and took a detour.
This technique is between the heavenly and earthly grades. If one is gifted and talented enough to adapt to it, he or she can unleash the power of the heavenly grade. Unless the practitioner makes a mistake in practicing or is interfered with by external factors, there is no chance of going astray.
It turned out that Xia Nuanqiu was eager for quick success and dared to practice a secret technique recorded in Tianyang Zhenjue without any prerequisites, hoping to prove his truth with the secret technique. As a result, he went astray due to the lack of prerequisites.
Simply put, by refining a lifelike incarnation, and then refining the incarnation as nutrients for the Tao, she can achieve a breakthrough in desperate situations. She practiced this secret technique without subduing the spiritual fire, and as a result, the incarnation was eroded by demonic obstacles and turned into a demon in her heart.
Xia Nuanqiu was tortured to death by her inner demons. Her only hope was to find a spiritual fire. Using the power of the spiritual fire as a starting point, she would use the backup method of Tianyang Zhen Jue to purify the demonic barrier that was accidentally created by her incarnation.
She sat cross-legged on the edge of the lotus pedestal, practicing the method of taming the spiritual fire recorded in the Tianyang Secret Art. Her magic power was transported along a special route, condensing runes. The spiritual fire was instantly absorbed into her body to fight against her own power.
Hmm! With a muffled groan, Xia Nuanqiu's mood was calm, with only a few twists and turns. Although she had never subdued a spiritual fire of heaven and earth, she dared to guarantee that she would win the first time she made a move, even if it was a spiritual fire ranked within the top 5,000.
Purple Lotus Spirit Fire, collect it for this fairy! Xia Nuanqiu's eyes condensed, and the spiritual fire that was absorbed into her body was stably assimilated by the runes of the technique. After five incense sticks of time, the Purple Lotus Spirit Fire was full of her mark.
Xia Nuanqiu let out a long breath, finally completing this step. The next step is to purify the demons in her heart!
To put it nicely, it is purification, but in fact it is to ruthlessly erase it. This inner demon was not born from the obsession of the past. She does not need to overcome the inner demon tribulation. There is no hidden danger in destroying it with thunder and lightning. By then, the incarnation body will still be clean and become a part of her ultimate Taoist foundation.
The demonic barrier had been growing for many years and was extremely powerful. It would take some effort to erase it. Half a day later, Xia Nuanqiu, who was sitting in the center of the lotus platform, suddenly opened his eyes, and the clear and turbid colors in his eyes were silently confronting each other.
It's over, an accident happened, the demonic barrier silently eroded a corner of my body, and the spiritual fire burned me so painfully!
She wanted to tell Lin Xuan to run away quickly, because if she lost control, there would be a high probability of a tragedy. However, she sadly discovered that she was stuck in the vortex of internal confrontation and could not extricate herself, and watched the turbid energy gain the upper hand.
"Ah!" Xia Nuanqiu raised her snow-white neck and let out a long roar. The sound waves made the surface of the molten lava turbulent. The sound waves generated thrust, and Lin Xuan on the shore was blown backwards in a hurry.
What the hell, why did she suddenly go crazy, what the hell is this bitch doing? ! !
His face changed drastically, and in just half a moment, Xia Nuanqiu gave him an extremely fatal sense of crisis.
"This woman must be sick, I have to run away!" Extremely suffocating, Lin Xuan just greased his feet and turned to run away, but he was stunned by an extreme chill on his spine and froze in place.
Crack! In the next breath, Lin Xuan's back was hit hard. The huge force shattered the bones supporting his waist and back. His skeleton seemed to be broken apart. The severe pain made his pupils dilate for a moment.
He turned around woodenly and noticed that Xia Nuanqiu was wearing a pair of pink wristbands with exquisite patterns. It was like a heavy hammer hitting his sea of consciousness, reminding him of the attack two months ago.
So, that time, my top-grade spiritual sword hit her wrist guard and broke it? It was you, a woman, who really did this behind the scenes. Were you instructed by the elders behind you?
Looking up, I saw Xia Nuanqiu's pair of stunningly beautiful eyes were cloudy, manic, crazy, and evil. This completely changed her image. Was she a spy planted by the evildoers?
The severe pain from the serious injury overwhelmed Lin Xuan's thinking. His brain was clouded by chaos and he could only make hasty guesses. At this time, Xia Nuanqiu had a whip in his hand and he faced it. He was suspected of being attacked by the whip last time!
She lashed out, the whip turning into a blade and slashing at his shoulder.
Hiss! It hurts. Something is leaking out. My entire left arm is loose and weak. Has it been torn off?
Snap! Swish! The whip pierced into the flesh. There was no fraternal friendship at all. Xia Nuanqiu whipped Lin Xuan mercilessly a few times, leaving his skin and flesh torn, bones and tendons broken, with several huge cuts that made him bleed profusely.
He was completely in a state of near death and was beaten unconscious. Finally, the whip wrapped around his body and slammed him into a large lake of molten lava. At the critical moment, runes lit up on his body, protecting him from being melted by the molten lava, but he fainted and inevitably sank under the molten lava.
The rune light made Xia Nuanqiu sober for a moment. She stood on the shore, with expressions of regret, pain, and distortion switching back and forth on her face. The purifying power of the Purple Lotus Spirit Fire caused her sanity to degenerate by 70%.
I, I killed my junior brother with my own hands? The cause of my eagerness for quick success and instant benefits many years ago has led to such a bad result today? Xia Nuanqiu, you deserve to die, God should take you away, you are a sinner, you have caused a huge disaster and killed your fellow disciples, you should commit suicide under the devil's barrier!
No, no! Junior Brother should not be dead. I saw some protective skills on him. The devil is affecting my mind!
Protecting... Who is protecting junior brother? The Palace Master, yes, it must be the Palace Master's method. Junior brother said that he would become your disciple, and the Palace Master will definitely protect him.
What should I do now? The turbid air in her beautiful eyes gradually took over, her soul was about to be devoured, and her reason became more and more unstable.
Xia Nuanqiu covered his head with his hands, his expression twisted. He remembered that he had to leave immediately while he was still conscious and go to the center of the blazing red land to avoid hurting others!
So she just transferred in a daze, not even paying attention to her whip magic weapon.
In the 300-mile area at the center of the blazing red land, secret creatures in the Half-Step Purple Mansion realm often appear. Their intelligence does not increase with the improvement of their realm. On the contrary, their aggressiveness becomes higher, and it is extremely dangerous there.
Putting aside the creatures in the secret realm, the energy of the fire path within the 300-mile central realm is countless times more violent than that outside, which greatly increases the danger level of the central realm. It is either deserted or only the strong dare to explore. Finally, after a moment of clarity of consciousness, Xia Nuanqiu chose the best option.
If she met other fellow disciples in the central area, even if her consciousness was completely obscured by the chaos, she would not worry about being beaten by others, because the fellow disciples who dared to explore the central area at least had the strength to escape from her.
Chapter 55 A shortcut?
Inside the inner gate of Xuannv Palace, inside the Palace Master's palace, a beautiful and peerless fairy in her prime was comprehending and practicing Taoism and magical powers. At this moment, a secret wave came in from the outside world and sank into her brows.
Chang He's expression changed. She stopped comprehending her magical powers and used her left and right hands to calculate Lin Xuan's whereabouts. After a while, a look of enlightenment flashed across her pretty face. She shook her head and said, "You stinky boy, you are such a hapless bug. You have been robbed many times in the sect's territory. Have you been affected by the great karma of reincarnation?"
She saw the young man sinking all the way through the restriction, and when he reached the bottom after several dozen feet, she discovered an extremely cold pool at the bottom of the magma. A small pool several feet square was integrated into the bottom of the magma and was not submerged. The magical thing was that the icy power emitted by the pool coexisted perfectly with the scorching power of the magma, forming a peculiar temperature phenomenon.
It was extremely hot and extremely cold at the same time, both of which could burn and freeze any mortal being at the same time. She curled her lips slightly, "You little rascal, I'll give you a chance!"
Chang He immediately made some magic gestures to transmit power to the restriction more than 10,000 miles away to modify it.
In the blazing red land, in a certain mountain range, at the bottom of a large magma lake, Lin Xuan was unconscious. At this time, the runes on his body were flashing alternately, continuously absorbing or releasing the power of fire and ice.
Part of the two diametrically opposed forces quietly merged and were transformed into gentle vital force by complex mechanisms, piercing and repairing his physical injuries, healing torn wounds, and shaping his tendons and bones. The remaining 80% of the force made Lin Xuan's body become a delicate state where extreme cold and extreme heat coexisted.
The runes of the Shengxi Combat Body Skill, Tiangong Sword Art, Nine Revolutions Sacred Art and other skills cheered and appeared in the flesh and blood at the same time, the physical body and magic power resonated with each other, and faintly illuminated the shadow of the soul, forming a spectacular resonance.
"Interesting!" A bright light appeared in Chang He's eyes. Watching this grand symphony ceremony of spirit and energy, it was like a transformation, a transformation in a form she had never heard of before.
If there were sporadic records of Lin Xuan's two previous rebirths from the fruits of the Samsara Flower in the Xuanhe Realm, then the resonance of his magic power, physique, and soul at this moment was unheard of.
Since such a thing can happen, it means that Lin Xuan's transformation at this moment is in accordance with the laws of nature, but it is extremely rare, so rare that no records have been left.
Chang He's mind moved, and she found a special photo stone, intending to record this memory. Since there is a blank in the history of Xuanhe Realm, she will fill it in herself.
After observing for half an incense stick of time, Lin Xuan's physical injuries have healed by 90% with the help of external vitality, and his essence, energy and spirit have also resonated synchronously for half an incense stick of time. It seems that he will continue to transform for a while.
Another two sticks of incense passed, and the stunningly beautiful woman with soft curves and proud figure, who was lying lazily on her side, yawned and shook her head in disappointment, not having seen any earth-shattering breakthrough.
She saw the beginning of Lin Xuan's transformation, which made Lin Xuan's cultivation of essence, energy and spirit become more extremely balanced, and increased his cultivation overall. However, he was still a little short of a breakthrough.
"My goodness, Xuan'er's thirteenth level of realm is harder to break through than the historical records of Xuanhe Realm. The realm barrier is so thick, who was the great man in Xuan'er's previous life?"
Judging from Lin Xuan's performance this time, he would be ranked at the top in the endless void and heavens.
After completing the recording, Chang He severed her connection with the restriction and began to comprehend the magical powers of Taoism again.
In a mountain range in the blazing red land, under the molten lava, the young man's eyelashes trembled twice.
Hiss, so cold! Oh, so hot! Cold, hot, cold... Ouch! How can it be cold and hot at the same time? Woohoo!
Is this what the underworld looks like? Is this how they torture the living souls? Where have they been?
Lin Xuan opened his eyes suddenly, and what he saw was a blue pool of extremely cold water, surrounded by endless heat currents. The coldness did not extinguish the molten lava, and the scorching fire power did not evaporate the cold pool. The two coexisted delicately.
His mind was clear at this moment, and he instantly remembered that he had been thrown into the molten lava.
So this is what the bottom of the magma looks like? The ground at the bottom is uneven, with piles of gravel. More importantly, why is there a cold pond here? How can two extremely opposite forces coexist harmoniously? !
A loud thunderclap pierced through my brain, and in my sea of consciousness I gained some fragmented memories and some enlightenment. Everything has its limits, and that’s you!
"Is it possible that my life was saved by this girl's tricks?" Lin Xuan noticed the blindingly bright rune light on the surface of his body. He didn't have the ability to analyze it, but he could tell that it was a trick left by someone else.
I searched the cold pond from left to right but found no treasure. Perhaps there was not enough time to create a treasure of the ice zodiac.
The heat waves distorted the light and shadow of the molten surface. He carefully poked his head out, and after confirming that there was no danger, he relaxed and swam to the shore, shaking off the droplets of fire waves on his body.
The Taoist robe was not burned, but it had already been torn to pieces by the whip, causing the defense to drop by half a major realm.
"Hmm? The whip is left here. What's the situation with that woman?" Lin Xuan picked up the long whip magic weapon on the ground.
The long whip was dark black in color, with plum blossom dots on the handle. It was light, tough, and reflected cold light. The whip was as sharp as the edge of a sword. No wonder it left him with skin torn and flesh exposed and he almost died.
Because his mind was clear, Lin Xuan was able to think carefully about what happened to Xia Nuanqiu. Why did she abandon her weapon and disappear? Where did she run to? Was she really a spy from another sect?
