Chapter 291 Zi Yan Retreats and Arrives at the Magma World Again
Xiao Ling noticed the change in Xiao Zi's eyes. He stepped forward, patted Xiao Zi's head gently, and said in an apologetic tone: "Xiao Zi, I'm really sorry. Yao Tianhuo has already troubled you once last time. I don’t want to make things difficult for you this time, but for cultivation, I really need your help. I will prepare some pills to help you recover as soon as possible.”
When Xiao Zi saw Xiao Ling's sincere attitude, the grievance in her eyes gradually dissipated. It nodded to express understanding, and then it began to concentrate on slowly activating the animal fire in its body. A vortex of energy gradually formed around its body, and the beast fire slowly rotated in it. Finally, it was carefully controlled by it and slowly floated towards Xiao Ling.
When the fire of the beast fire separated from Xiao Zi's body, it was obvious that Xiao Zi's aura had weakened, and there was a hint of exhaustion in its eyes.
The fire of the beast fire was floating in the air, and although it still emitted a blazing light, its light seemed a little wavering compared to when it was inside Xiao Zi's body.
Seeing that Xiao Zi successfully separated the beast fire, Xiao Ling showed a happy smile on his face. He held Zi Yan steadily with one hand, and quickly took out an exquisite porcelain bottle with the other hand. He carefully guided the floating animal fire and let it slowly fall into the porcelain vase.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling used a layer of Dou Qi barrier to seal the mouth of the porcelain bottle to ensure the stability of the beast fire. Then with a wave of his hand, the porcelain bottle was wrapped in a white light and put into his Nai Ring.
Qing Lin saw that Xiao Zi looked a little weak, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed in his heart. He reached out and stroked Xiao Zi's head gently, then took out some healing elixirs from his Na Ring and fed them to Xiao Zi carefully.
Xiao Zi felt Qing Lin's care, and its eyes turned to Qing Lin, with a trace of helplessness flashing in her eyes. It thought to itself, just now it asked itself to send beast fire to others, but now it remembered to care about itself, alas.
After swallowing those healing pills, Xiao Zi's condition improved significantly. Although it had not fully returned to its previous energetic appearance, it was not as weak as before.
Xiao Ling saw this and naturally would not stand idly by. He took out a porcelain bottle filled with pills from Najie, handed it to Qinglin, and said: "The pills inside are made from seventh-level fire-attribute medicinal materials, which are of great benefit to Xiao Zi's recovery. You can give them regularly It takes a few pills.”
These pills were originally prepared by Xiao Ling for the little sky-swallowing python, but considering that Xiao Zi is also a fire-attribute monster, these pills are also suitable for it.
After hearing this, Qing Lin showed a happy smile on her face. She took the porcelain bottle, took out two pills and handed them to Xiao Zi. After Xiao Zi took the pill, the fighting energy in her body was quickly replenished, and her body was nourished by the energy of the pill, making her feel very comfortable. She narrowed her eyes comfortably and spat out the snake letter to Xiao Ling to express her feelings. of gratitude.
These pills made from seventh-level medicinal materials are not common to Xiao Zi. Although she can taste them occasionally, they are not something she can enjoy every day. Qing Lin usually gives it pills made from sixth-level medicinal materials. Xiao Zi thought to herself, this Xiao Ling is indeed a generous person.
After exchanging some important matters with his two companions, Xiao Ling handed a scroll recording the cultivation method of Zhen Nong Yan Jue to the Little Medical Fairy and told her to pass it on to Lord Tianhuo. This technique may be of great help to Lord Tianhuo.
After explaining this, Xiao Ling said goodbye to them and took Zi Yan to a training room in the courtyard.
Xiao Ling gently placed Zi Yan on the futon in the center of the training room and let her sit comfortably. Afterwards, Xiao Ling walked to the edge of the training room and began to activate the surrounding formations.
This formation is cleverly designed, not only absorbing the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth for cultivation purposes, but also isolating external interference while ensuring that the movements in the cultivation room are not leaked to the outside.
Following Xiao Ling's gestures and mantras, the formation around the practice room gradually lit up with a faint light, forming a translucent energy shield that isolated the practice room from the outside world.
Breaking through to Douzong is no small matter. This process is often accompanied by huge energy fluctuations. If Zi Yan made a breakthrough in an ordinary room, the force would probably turn the room into ruins.
Therefore, Xiao Ling deliberately chose this training room. Not only was it protected by formations, it also provided a stable environment for Zi Yan to break through.
Xiao Ling knelt down, gently rubbed Zi Yan's little head, and encouraged her with a smile: "The next step is all up to you. I have already set up the formation. You can rest assured to break through."
Zi Yan nodded drowsily, as if she hadn't fully recovered from the fatigue, but soon she closed her heavy eyes and began to concentrate on preparing for a breakthrough.
As Zi Yan's breathing gradually became steady, the purple light on her body began to become more intense, eventually forming a huge cocoon of purple light around her body. This light cocoon not only protects her, but also isolates her from outside interference, allowing her to make breakthroughs with peace of mind.
Xiao Ling stood up straight and stared softly at the light cocoon emitting mysterious purple light. A gratified smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "It seems that this girl has begun her breakthrough journey. The next time we meet again, she should already be a strong Douzong expert."
After saying these words, Xiao Ling shook his head gently, seeming to be pleased with Zi Yan's growth. He turned around and left the training room with firm steps.
Then, his figure swayed slightly in the courtyard, as if integrated with the void, and rushed towards the Tianfen Qi Training Tower.
…
In the inner courtyard, at the bottom of Tianfen Qi Refining Tower.
Xiao Ling stood at the entrance to the magma world. He waved his palm lightly, and countless invisible flames suddenly flew out of the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower. These flames gathered above his palm, eventually condensing into a throbbing invisible flame.
Just when the invisible flame appeared, Xiao Ling suddenly felt an urge to move out of the strange fire in his body, as if he wanted to break free and rush out. He immediately took measures, quickly reassured, and suppressed this impulse.
He looked down at the invisible flame in his hand, with a gentle smile on his face: "Luo Xinyan, I didn't expect that you have grown so much after not seeing each other for two years."
This invisible flame is the infant form of the Fallen Heart Flame that he obtained in the magma world. It has become more powerful and active than when we first met.
Xiao Ling could feel the power contained within the Fallen Heart Flame. It was like a young beast full of energy, constantly eager for growth and breakthroughs.
When Fallen Heart Flame saw Xiao Ling, she jumped happily on Xiao Ling's palm like a lively child, showing her intimacy and dependence on him.
Xiao Ling gently stroked the invisible flame, and then began to slowly inject the fighting energy in his body into it. This energy is a precious nourishment for Fallen Heart Flame, which can enhance its strength.
Feeling Xiao Ling's fighting spirit, Fallen Heart Flame seemed to enjoy it very much. It rotated gently on Xiao Ling's palm, as if to express its pleasure.
However, as Xiao Ling injected more and more fighting spirit, Fallen Xinyan began to feel a little uncomfortable. Although its strength had improved, too much energy made it feel pressured. Finally, under Xiao Ling's gaze, it turned into a stream of light and dissipated in the air.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling could only shake his head helplessly and smiled. He knew that Fallen Heart Flame would still need time to adapt to and absorb the newly acquired energy. This kind and slightly naughty character made Xiao Ling full of love for this flame.
After hearing Xiao Ling's words, Elder Liu, who stood next to Xiao Ling and was mainly responsible for taking care of the fallen heart inflammation, couldn't help but interjected: "That's true. We old guys give it a lot of fire attribute fighting energy every day. This The little guy's growth rate is naturally much faster. However, it is really thanks to your previous help that he is so obedient."
Xiao Ling waved his hand and said modestly: "I didn't do anything special. It was all the result of the elders' careful care." He knew that the reason why Luo Xinyan could be taken care of so well was because of the elders day after day. The result of hard work.
They repeat almost the same thing every day. This kind of boringness is difficult for even Xiao Ling to bear for a long time.
Elder Liu smiled and continued: "The current Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower is much more effective than in the past. I think back then, the mature form of Fallen Heart Flame never obeyed our commands and often attacked the seal. "Impact is really a bad breed. And because this little guy was bred artificially, he won't be too resistant to our instructions."
"Haha, it seems that the elders have a good relationship with this little guy, which is a good thing." Xiao Ling said with a slight smile.
"Well, after all, I have taken care of this fallen Xinyan for decades, and I have deep feelings for it. Now that we see it so well-behaved, we old guys feel warm in our hearts." Elder Liu adjusted his mood and asked Xiao Ling with a smile: " You didn’t come here just to see the little fella Xinyan, right?”
Xiao Ling shook his head and replied easily: "It's just a matter of course to see it. In fact, I just felt signs that I was about to break through, so I plan to go to the underground magma world under the Tianfen Qi Training Tower to retreat for a while."
Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Elder Liu laughed and said, "Haha, I see. The environment down there is harsh, but for you who have the strange fire, it is a good place to practice."
During the conversation, Elder Liu had quickly made several hand seals, unlocking the restriction to the underground magma world.
Then, he turned to Xiao Ling and said, "Although you are very strong, there are many dangers down there, so you still have to be careful."
Xiao Ling nodded seriously, thanked Elder Liu, and then jumped into the dark hole, descending rapidly toward the underground magma world.
Elder Liu stood by the entrance of the cave, watching Xiao Ling's figure gradually move away until he completely disappeared from sight. Then, he made another hand seal to seal the restriction again, and the surroundings returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
…
As Xiao Ling continued to go deeper into the cave entrance, the surrounding air became more and more hot, as if even his breath was filled with the breath of fire. The howling of the wind in my ears seemed to be a warning of the coming fiery world.
At this moment, the golden flames in Xiao Ling's body began to become active. They penetrated from the surface of his skin, forming a thin golden mask. Although this layer of light mask looks inconspicuous, it effectively isolates the high temperature from the outside world and protects Xiao Ling from the scorching atmosphere of the magma world.
After a period of seemingly endless decline, Xiao Ling's vision suddenly broadened. He found that he had arrived in a huge underground space, which was an endless world of magma. Huge bubbles formed in the hot magma and then burst, releasing streams of fiery breath.
As the bubbles burst, white smoke rose from them. These fumes contained fire poison. For ordinary people, inhaling these fumes may cause serious consequences. But for Xiao Ling, who possessed the strange fire, these fire poisons were not a big deal.
Xiao Ling moved his body lightly, and the space under his feet was like the surface of water, rippling. He stood quietly in the void, like a messenger who controlled the fire, coexisting harmoniously with this magma world.
Xiao Ling carefully felt the energy of the heaven and earth around him. It was filled with extremely rich fire energy, which was undoubtedly a paradise for fire practitioners. However, these rich flame energies were also mixed with a strong sense of violence. If they were absorbed without control, they might have a subtle influence on the practitioner's mind.
For ordinary practitioners, they need to use specific medicinal materials to neutralize these violent energies to avoid damage to their mind. But Xiao Ling was different. He already had five kinds of strange fire in his body. These violent flame energies were just a piece of cake for him. He could easily refine these energies, remove the violent elements in them, and then absorb them for his own use.
Turning his sight, Xiao Ling's eyes fell on the vast magma world below. A bold plan suddenly emerged in his mind.
In this hot magma land, there lived a group of fire lizardmen, who could condense a kind of fire beads in their bodies, which contained wild and fierce fire attribute energy.
For ordinary fire attribute practitioners, taking these fire beads directly may bring considerable risks, but Xiao Ling is different. He has a variety of strange fires in his body, which allows him to refine these fire attribute energies first and then absorb them safely.
If he could get a few Dou Zong-level fire beads, it would undoubtedly be a shot in the arm for his cultivation.
Recalling the last time he broke out from the depths of the underground magma with the Skyfire Venerable, Xiao Ling couldn't help but feel a little regretful. At that time, they were attacked by the fire lizardmen. After a fierce battle, although they successfully killed several Dou Zong-level fire lizardmen, due to the urgent situation, they did not have time to collect those precious fire beads, and let them sleep in the magma, which was a great loss.
However, Xiao Ling is no longer the same as before, and his strength has improved by leaps and bounds. As long as he does not go deep into the deepest part of the magma world and does not provoke those terrifying fire lizardmen, he is confident that he can easily deal with it and protect himself.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling no longer hesitated. He lightly unfolded a layer of flame barrier composed of the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame, as if he was wearing a flame battle suit. His figure was particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of the magma, and then he plunged into the hot magma world without hesitation.
...
When Xiao Ling dived into the magma, he immediately felt a scorching temperature and huge pressure coming from all directions, as if to squeeze him to the limit. But with the surge of his powerful fighting spirit, the pressure from the outside world instantly weakened and could not cause him any discomfort.
In this red magma world, everything in sight was red, only the golden fire cover around Xiao Ling, shining alone in this sea of fire like an isolated island, adding a different brilliance to this single color.
In the depths of the magma, there was a dead silence all around, and long-term flight could easily make people feel boring. But Xiao Ling had expectations in his heart, which kept his spirit in a highly concentrated and excited state, full of energy.
Under this magma without a sense of direction, Xiao Ling gave up the cognition of up, down, left and right, and forgot the passage of time. He had only one goal, which was to keep diving towards higher temperatures to find those possible hidden flame lizardmen and the fire beads in their bodies.
Gradually, as Xiao Ling continued to go deeper, the color of the surrounding magma gradually changed from the initial red to a deep black red, and the temperature also climbed to an unimaginable high level.
However, for Xiao Ling, who possessed the strange fire and powerful skills, these extreme environments were not enough to pose a threat. The strange fire in his body seemed to be the master of this sea of fire, not only protecting him from the high temperature, but even the energy consumption was minimal.
In this hot magma, Xiao Ling's soul perception was like an invisible net, slowly unfolding and exploring every corner around him. His mind was highly concentrated, and any slight fluctuation could not escape his perception.
After about twenty minutes of continuous diving, Xiao Ling's perception suddenly captured a trace of unusual fluctuations. In the depths of this originally dead magma, his soul perception suddenly detected the breath of many life forms.
Some of these breaths were weak, and some were strong, forming a peculiar gradient distribution. The weak breath was equivalent to that of Dou Wang and Dou Huang level practitioners, while those powerful breaths could even be comparable to Dou Zong strongmen.
The breaths of these life forms rose and fell in the magma, like flames hidden in the undercurrent, ready to erupt at any time.
An excited smile appeared on Xiao Ling's lips. He whispered to himself, "It seems that the lizardmen guarding the ancient emperor's cave have finally appeared. The highest is only Dou Zong level. For me, these are indeed some good targets. Next, I will start with you guys."
