Chapter 1301 An Unexpected Blessing

A few days later, Xiao Lin opened his eyes from his meditation, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

After going through a lot of hardships, he finally advanced to the peak of the Refining Void Stage.

After advancing to the peak of the Refining Void Stage, he only needed to stabilize for a few more days before he could start preparing for the advancement to the Fusion Stage.

Suddenly, Xiao Lin's face changed, and then a female voice came from outside.

"Xue Lingshan?" As soon as Xiao Lin heard the voice of the person coming, he knew that the person was Xue Lingshan from Xiaodan Mountain. Xiao Lin counted with his fingers and immediately understood that according to the agreement, it was time for him to fulfill his promise.

With a wave of Xiao Lin's sleeves, the thick fog that had permeated the Wuyin Fairy Valley for hundreds of years gradually dissipated, and all the restrictions were opened.

"Fairy Xue, I haven't seen you for a long time. Please come in and talk."

Xiao Lin's voice spread out, and after a while, a graceful figure walked into Xiao Lin's cave, it was Xue Lingshan.

But at this moment, Xue Lingshan looked a little haggard, with many gray hairs on her temples, and her face looked ten years older than when Xiao Lin saw her hundreds of years ago.

Xiao Lin understood that Xue Lingshan's life span might not be long.

"Huh? Lingshan can't sense Brother Xiao's realm. Could it be that Brother Xiao has already reached the peak of the Void Refining Realm?" After Xue Lingshan sat down, she looked at Xiao Lin and immediately showed a surprised expression, with deep envy in her eyes.

Xiao Lin waved his hand and smiled when he heard this: "It's a coincidence. I just succeeded in breaking through a few days ago. I didn't expect the fairy to come."

"Ah~ Brother Xiao, do you want to stabilize your realm for a while? Lingshan can wait for a while. Anyway, I have waited for hundreds of years, so I don't care about these few days."

"Fairy Xue, you don't need to be polite. After these few days of breathing adjustment, Xiao is no longer a problem. But has the fairy's water spirit flame been cultivated to the great success?"

Xue Lingshan nodded, but there was no joy on her face: "Water Heart Flame, Lingshan has cultivated to the great success. The process was a bit tortuous, so I won't go into details. Fortunately, it has been completed now, so I would like to ask Brother Xiao to help."

Xiao Lin no longer refused when he heard this, but said: "In this case, let's go?"

"Thank you, Brother Xiao."

.......

More than half a month later, Xiao Lin and Xue Lingshan came to Xiaodan Mountain again. Today's Xiaodan Mountain is no different from five hundred years ago, and it is still like a fairyland.

Xiao Lin and Xue Lingshan came again at this moment, but their moods were different. Xiao Lin was naturally calm and composed, while Xue Lingshan was full of sorrow and heavy thoughts.

Xiao Lin understood that even if Xue Lingshan could save her master, she herself would not be able to advance to the peak of the Refining Void in this life.

Although she never told about the twists and turns she encountered in the process of practicing the Water Heart Flame, Xiao Lin was a smart man and could probably guess that Xue Lingshan must have paid a heavy price for this.

Otherwise, she would not be so depressed as she still had hundreds of years to live.

Xiao Lin followed Xue Lingshan, bypassed the surrounding mountains, flew to the back mountain of Xiaodan Mountain, and then shot straight down. At this time, Xiao Lin discovered that there was actually a bottomless valley in the back mountain of Xiaodan Mountain.

There were bursts of cold air coming from the valley, but for Xue Lingshan and Xiao Lin, it was nothing. The two of them passed through the cold air and fell straight down.

After falling a thousand feet, Xiao Lin finally landed on the ground. At this time, he saw a cave not far in front of the two of them, which was emitting cold light green air.

This kind of cold air is more of a Yin evil air. If a cultivator with a lower cultivation level stays here for a long time, it will also cause blockage of meridians, poor mana, and even lead to obsession.

Of course, ordinary people will be frozen in an instant under this kind of cold air.

"Tianhan Cave?" Xiao Lin saw the three vague characters on the cave. He knew that the Five Fire Ancestor was sealed here.

The Five Fire Ancestor, one of the three giants of Xiaodan Mountain, is a top-level cultivator in the early stage of the tribulation. If he had not been obsessed with the Five Fires, he might have advanced to the middle stage of the tribulation.

This kind of existence is already the top existence in the spiritual world. Most of the Mahayana cultivators are busy perfecting their own power of rules and preparing for ascending to the immortal world, so they either practice hard in seclusion all year round or travel to many places where few people go to comprehend the world.

Therefore, in a sect, or even many races, the real power is actually some immortal cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing period. Of course, the Mahayana cultivators who have perfected the power of rules are excluded. However, there are not many such beings who truly stand at the top of the spiritual world. Even if some super races can have one or two, it is already the limit.

Xiao Lin followed Xue Lingshan and walked into the cave. After going several feet deep, the entire cave wall was flashing with green light. Xiao Lin looked closely and found that it was an unknown crystal on the stone wall. There was a faint chill from the crystal.

However, Xiao Lin was sure that the chill he felt outside was not emitted by this unknown crystal, but came from the depths of the cave. After walking more than ten feet deep, the two of them suddenly saw a clear view.

On the surrounding walls, there were dozens of ever-burning lamps, and in the center of the mountain was a cold pool, with pale green mist rising from the water. Xiao Lin understood that the cold air was coming from the cold pool.

Under the rock wall opposite the cold pool, a man was sitting cross-legged. He was disheveled, ragged, and his hair was dragging on the ground. It was unknown how many years it had not been trimmed.

Xiao Lin felt a breath of excitement from this man.

At the same time, Xiao Lin saw that there were five groups of spiritual light flashing on the man's chest. These five groups of spiritual light extended to his limbs and head, and flashed suddenly every few breaths.

Seeing this face of this man, I am afraid no one would have thought that this man was one of the three chief elders of Xiaodan Mountain, a top-level cultivator in the early stage of tribulation, the Five Fire Ancestor.

His limbs and neck were all locked by a thick silver chain, and the other end of the silver chain was embedded in the rock wall.

Xue Lingshan walked slowly to the Five Fires Ancestor, took out a pair of scissors from the Star Ring, and then trimmed the messy hair for the master.

Xiao Lin stood aside with full vigilance, keeping a certain distance. At the moment, the Five Fires Ancestor had gone crazy and lost his mind. If he exploded, his cultivation might not be able to resist.

Fortunately, there was the Soul Locking Chain, which locked his soul and calmed him down.

Of course, Xiao Lin dared to come with Xue Lingshan just because he knew that the Five Fires Ancestor was locked by the Soul Locking Chain.

This Soul Locking Chain is also a famous thing in the world of immortal cultivation. It is a treasure that can lock the immortal soul. Once the immortal soul is locked, it will be impossible to mobilize the mana in the dantian.

In this way, even if the immortal cultivator has great mana, it will be useless.

After a cup of tea, Xue Lingshan had trimmed the messy hair of the Five Fire Ancestor, revealing a face of about forty years old, with fair skin and regular features.

But at this moment, the Five Fire Ancestor's eyes were a little blurry, as if he was in a state of absent-mindedness.

Xiao Lin sighed secretly, a top-level existence in the Tribulation Period had fallen to such a state, which was really sad and lamentable.

The Five Fire Ancestor was also lucky, because he had a disciple like Xue Lingshan who was so affectionate and righteous. In order to restore the master to the original state, he even destroyed his own immortal path and spent a lot of time and energy to practice a water-based spiritual flame magic.

"Master, there may be some pain in the process of extracting the cold flame. Please be patient. As long as the master can be restored to the original state, Lingshan is willing to pay a high price." Xue Lingshan's face was full of decadence with a hint of sadness.

Xiao Lin was also moved by Xue Lingshan's respect for his teacher. He asked himself, if it were him, he would not be able to do the same as Xue Lingshan.

"Brother Xiao, I will trouble you later. Brother Xiao will use the power to extract the Kuihan Yin Fire in Master's body. Once the Kuihan Yin Fire in Master's body weakens, it will inevitably cause the imbalance of the five fires. At this time, Lingshan needs to inject the water spirit flame that he has cultivated into Master's body. In this process, we must always pay attention to the increase and decrease of the five fire powers. We must not let the flame power be unbalanced, otherwise the imbalance will be too severe and will cause Master's instinctive reaction. Once he starts to struggle, we are afraid that we will not be able to do it again."

Xiao Lin nodded and extracted the Kuihan Yin Fire in the body of the Five Fire Ancestor. Xue Lingshan told him several times on the way that he had already memorized it. In fact, the whole casting process is very simple, which is to extract the Kuihan Yin Fire in the body of the Five Fire Ancestor and replace it with the water spirit flame to balance the power of the five fires in his body.

As long as the power of the five fires reaches a balance, when the soul-locking chain is unlocked, the Five Fire Ancestor will be able to take advantage of the balance of the five fires to fuse the five fires in one fell swoop, thereby cultivating the five fires to perfection, and may even enter the middle stage of the tribulation.

However, Xiao Lin also knew that Xue Lingshan was almost dead at this moment. Once the water spirit flame that she had cultivated for hundreds of years was injected into the body of the Five Fire Ancestor, she would inevitably lose her magic power, and even cause the loss of her origin, which would lead to the early arrival of the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man.

But Xiao Lin did not persuade her. Xue Lingshan was determined, and there was no reason to retreat at this point.

Xiao Lin sighed in his heart, and then slowly came to the front of the Five Fire Ancestor.

Xue Lingshan moved the body of the Five Fire Ancestor a little distance, and then the two of them sat cross-legged beside the Five Fire Ancestor, one in front and one behind.

Xiao Lin was in front, and Xue Lingshan was behind. The two of them simultaneously put their palms on the body of the Five Fire Ancestor.

As the power flowed, two groups of azure spiritual light slowly emerged from Xiao Lin's hands, and the spiritual light slowly flowed into the body of the Five Fire Ancestor.

After a meal's worth of time, Xiao Lin's face suddenly froze, and the azure spiritual light on his hands suddenly darkened a lot, turning into dark green. At the same time, an astonishing chill spread throughout the cave.

"Do it."

As Xiao Lin's voice fell, Xue Lingshan behind him took a deep breath, and her palms were immediately covered by a layer of misty azure light, and a soft spiritual power full of life spread out.

I saw that the chest of the Five Fire Ancestor was immediately filled with a green light, and the other four flames seemed to sense it and immediately began to gather towards the middle.

However, Xiao Lin's speed of extracting the Kuihan Yin Fire was not fast, so the other four flames were still unable to cross and attack the sudden uninvited guest.

Xiao Lin was extremely careful at this moment. The imbalance of the five fires was very serious. If it was serious, it might even cause the Five Fire Ancestor to self-destruct. If a cultivator in the early stage of the tribulation self-destructed, Xiaodan Mountain would definitely not be able to escape, and even this Bixin Island would be in danger.

At the same time, Xiao Lin felt the Kuihan Yin Fire flowing slowly into his body along his arms, gathering into his Dantian, and then entangled with the Yugui Ice Flame he cultivated.

A layer of ice crystals gradually emerged on Xiao Lin's body.

Soon, Xiao Lin was surprised to find that in his Dantian, the Yugui Ice Flame he cultivated actually began to actively devour the Kuihan Yin Fire that entered his body.

This Kuihan Yin Fire is also a kind of ice flame, but it seems that its quality is slightly inferior to the Yugui Ice Flame that Xiao Lin cultivated. Therefore, the Yugui Ice Flame began to actively devour the Kuihan Yin Fire, transforming it into pure ice flame, and then merged with the Yugui Ice Flame. The Yugui Ice Flame immediately began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xiao Lin was delighted. He did not expect that swallowing the Kuihan Yin Fire in the body of the Five Fire Ancestor would greatly nourish the Yugui Ice Flame that he cultivated. At this rate, once the Kuihan Yin Fire in the body of the Five Fire Ancestor is completely absorbed, his Yugui Ice Flame will probably directly advance to the Great Perfection Realm.

Xiao Lin originally wanted to swallow the ice flame that entered his body. If it could not be merged with his Yugui Ice Flame, he would have to divide a considerable amount of mana to control the Kuihan Yin Fire. In this way, the Kuihan Yin Fire that he could absorb would be extremely limited.

If this is true, Xiao Lin will stop without hesitation. He will not risk his life to save the Five Fire Ancestor.

What he never expected was that he actually got a chance because of this. Although the Kuihan Yin Fire cultivated by the Five Fire Ancestor was not as good as the Yugui Ice Flame in terms of grade, it was incomparable to Xiao Lin's Yugui Ice Flame in terms of purity.

It was precisely because of this that Xiao Lin's Yugui Ice Flame easily merged with the Kuihan Yin Fire, and the quality and quantity of the Yugui Ice Flame were also rapidly improved.

After sensing this, Xiao Lin began to increase the power of absorption.

Xue Lingshan naturally also sensed that the Kuihan Yin Fire in the body of the Five Fire Ancestor was rapidly draining away, and also began to increase her mana, injecting the hard-cultivated water spirit flame into the body of the Five Fire Ancestor.

After an unknown period of time, Xiao Lin felt that the Kuihan Yin Fire he absorbed was getting less and less, and soon as the last trace of Yin Fire was absorbed into his body, Xiao Lin also opened his eyes.

He saw five balls of spiritual light flashing on the chest of the Five Fire Ancestor, and in the middle of these five balls of spiritual light, there was a faint white light.

"Uh~~"

At this time, a groan suddenly came from behind the Five Fire Ancestor. When Xiao Lin saw Xue Lingshan's appearance, he was shocked.

At this moment, Xue Lingshan's face was covered with fine wrinkles, and her hair turned snow-white. Not only that, even her pair of jade hands were full of wrinkled skin.

Xue Lingshan seemed to have aged dozens of years in an instant, just like an old woman in her sixties or seventies. This was completely the appearance of having experienced the dispersal of power.
