Despite this, the biggest beneficiary of this incident was Chu Wanqing, who relied on these energies to break through the barrier of the Fighting Saint in one fell swoop. In comparison, Xiao Ling only refined a small part of the pure energy.
After all, most of the toxins were originally concentrated in Chu Wanqing's body, and her body was the main target of the toxins. There are relatively few toxins in Xiao Ling's body, so the benefits he gained from this energy refining are naturally limited.
Moreover, as a low-star Dou Zun, Xiao Ling's speed in absorbing energy is dwarfed by Chu Wanqing, who has reached the advanced semi-saint realm.
Facing such a huge amount of energy, even if Xiao Ling is willing, he is not strong enough. It is simply an impossible task to absorb it all. If you absorb it indiscriminately and exceed the limit that you can bear, you will only be asking for trouble, and your body will explode and die due to the energy.
While absorbing the energy fed back by the cold fire of the Bone Spirit, Xiao Ling could only barely absorb a small part of the pure energy refined by the alien fire, which had reached his endurance limit. If you are greedy for too much, these energies will become a burden, which will do more harm than good to Xiao Ling.
Chu Wanqing's situation is completely different. As a semi-saint-level expert, her energy absorption speed is much faster than Xiao Ling's. I don't know how many times faster.
Moreover, she was at the critical moment of breaking through to the Fighting Saint level, and her energy needs were extremely huge.
Therefore, most of that energy naturally flows to her, where it is efficiently absorbed and refined by her.
The results are self-evident. Chu Wanqing's years of accumulation finally broke out. Not only did her injuries completely recover, but with the help of these energies, her cultivation level achieved a qualitative leap, breaking the bottleneck of being a Half-Saint, and leapfrogging over in one fell swoop. , and became a veritable warrior saint.
As for Xiao Ling, although he failed to make huge gains like Chu Wanqing, his progress in these four months cannot be underestimated. Not only did he successfully devour the Bone Spirit Lenghuo, his cultivation level also improved greatly, and he broke through to the three-star Dou Zun in one fell swoop.
Later, after further absorbing the majestic energy refined by the alien fire, his cultivation level climbed to the level of Four-Star Dou Zun. This kind of improvement speed is undoubtedly quite amazing.
In the end, things did not turn into the worst situation, but brought some unexpected surprises, which already made Xiao Ling quite satisfied.
Therefore, Xiao Ling did not pay too much attention to the fact that Chu Wanqing absorbed most of the energy.
After all, objectively speaking, the source of the energy was originally the toxins in Chu Wanqing's body, and Xiao Ling only played a role in catalyzing the refining.
Besides, the two of them experienced those unforgettable moments together. Even if Xiao Ling felt a little regretful that he could not absorb more energy, this regret was soon submerged in the complex emotional torrent between the two. Can't arouse any feeling of dissatisfaction.
"I really don't understand what that woman was thinking, and I don't know what her attitude is. She took advantage of me and ran away without saying a word. She didn't even say hello. This is so irresponsible. ”
Xiao Ling shook his head and stopped all the thoughts in his mind. He curled his lips slightly and couldn't help but chuckle and complain.
"But having said that, that woman can be regarded as an extremely rare female fighting saint. There are not many such strong people even among those ancient races. Wow, such a strong person today is actually If it falls into my hands, I am not at a loss.”
Xiao Ling muttered to himself, the experience echoed in his mind, and he couldn't help but chuckle. Tsk, I can only say that the taste is worthy of a strong fighting saint, it is really moist...
Immediately, Xiao Ling's eyes glanced lightly and fixed on a certain position in mid-air. There, a blue hosta floated quietly, as if being held up by some invisible force, completely ignoring gravity.
Under the soft light of the luminous pearls in the secret room, the hosta glowed with a warm luster, and a cyan halo spread vaguely, surrounding it like filaments, creating a mysterious and confusing feeling.
Xiao Ling slowly stretched out his hand, exerted a slight force on his palm, and an invisible suction force followed. The green jade hairpin seemed to be pulled by this force, turning into a stream of light and falling lightly into Xiao Ling's palm.
The hosta is warm and moist in the hand, as if it is spiritual, with a hint of warmth. It is about seven inches long and is made entirely of a strange blue jade. The texture of the jade is as delicate as suet, but it also exudes a sense of toughness.
The body of the hairpin is carved with exquisite patterns, which seem to be some kind of ancient and mysterious runes. The runes are winding and circling along the body of the hairpin. These runes are faintly emitting a faint light. Wherever the light reaches, the dust in the air disappears. Open, obviously this hosta has the strange ability to avoid dust.
On the top of the hosta, there is a small word "Qing". The word is integrated into the hosta body, as if it is naturally generated, but it also reveals a carefully crafted charm.
Xiao Ling's eyes were firmly fixed on the writing on the hosta, and her heart could not help but outline the graceful outline of Chu Wanqing. Her figure and the scene of parting that day were replayed in his mind like a slideshow.
"This encounter was just a misunderstanding, and you and I were involved in it by mistake. Thanks to you this time, I was able to get this opportunity. I, Chu Wanqing, have always had a clear distinction between grudges and grudges, so I owe you a favor."< br>
"There is a space mark set by me on this hosta. If you encounter danger in the future and need my help, you can inject fighting energy into the hosta. I will know then and show up to help you. However, this hosta only It can be used three times, and after three times, it will collapse and dissipate on its own. At that time, there will be no relationship between you and me.”
After saying that, Chu Wanqing turned around and left. Her fluttering clothes turned into a ray of green light, swept out of the secret room, and dissipated in a few breaths.
Xiao Ling gently stroked the hosta, feeling mixed emotions in her heart. He didn't know if he would really need to use this hosta to ask Chu Wanqing for help one day, but he probably wouldn't need it.
I don't know if the three opportunities are really exhausted, whether they can really have nothing to do with each other as Chu Wanqing said.
This woman was like a gust of wind, suddenly breaking into his world and leaving in a hurry, but she left an indelible mark in his heart.
After a long time, an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Ling's mouth, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Humph, Chu Wanqing, do you think that with these three agreements, you want to have nothing to do with me anymore? I, Xiao Ling, will not be at your mercy. . Now I am not as good as you, but I I will continue to get stronger. When I have enough strength, I must let you know that you can't do whatever you want. At that time, I will take you home and let you repay the debt of "leaving without saying goodbye" today. .”
"In this Dou Qi Continent, the strong are respected. Now that I have embarked on this road of becoming stronger, I will not stop easily. I will let everyone know that the name Xiao Ling will become a legend, and you, Chu Wan Qing is just an episode on my legendary road. Although it is unforgettable, one day, I will be the one in control of everything, including your relationship."
After talking to himself, Xiao Ling held the green hosta tightly in his palm, with a confident smile on his face. He took a deep breath, seeming to settle the emotions and determination in his heart.
Then, with a gentle wave of his hand, the hosta turned into a ray of green light and was put away properly by him.
In the eyes of others, Dou Sheng's status seems to be that distant star that is difficult to reach. But for Xiao Ling, this is just a stepping stone on the road to growth. As long as you give him enough time, it will only be a matter of time before he crosses the threshold of Dou Sheng.
However, for Xiao Ling now, these ambitious goals are still a little far away. He is currently just a Dou Zun, and when faced with some choices, there are still times when he is powerless.
But Xiao Ling knows that only by constantly working hard to become stronger can he roam freely in this world.
"Kowloon Thunder Ganghuo, it seems it's time for you to play your role. Although I don't expect you to make me reach the sky in one step, you can at least improve my strength a little."
Xiao Ling was thinking in her mind and muttering softly. He raised his finger and gently tapped it between his eyebrows. There was a mark of flame there.
With his touch, a silver flame slowly jumped out of the mark, suspended in the air in front of him, and exuded an extremely hot aura.
This silver flame was the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire Zihuo that Tang Huoer personally handed to him when he left the Burning Flame Valley.
Kowloon Lei Ganghuo's Zihuo has been following Xiao Ling for half a year. During this time, it and Xiao Ling have established a close relationship. With Xiao Ling's current strength, refining this sub-fire can be said to be a piece of cake, without any difficulty.
Before, when Xiao Ling and Chu Wanqing faced those deadly toxins, this sub-fire of the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire also stepped forward and joined forces with several other sub-fires to help refine those dangers.
Now, even the bone spirit cold fire has been successfully devoured and refined by Xiao Ling. Naturally, this Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire Sub-fire has to be obedient and become the material for Xiao Ling to improve his strength.
With Xiao Ling's current state and cultivation, it would not take long to refine such a spark. Anyway, I have been in the secret room for so long, not more than a few days. Xiao Ling stared at the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire quietly, with a glint of expectation flashing in his eyes. He nodded slightly, stretched out his hand calmly, and the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire sub-fire seemed to be pulled by an invisible thread and flew towards him quickly.
Almost in an instant, Kowloon Thunder Gang Fire Zihuo flew in front of him. Xiao Ling opened his mouth calmly, and Zihuo blended into his throat obediently, sliding unimpeded into the depths of his body.
In an instant, flames entered the body, and the hot energy collided wantonly in Xiao Ling's body, as if it was going to burn all his meridians. But Xiao Ling didn't change his expression. He quickly sat down cross-legged, held his breath and concentrated, and began to run the technique route of Fen Jue.
With the operation of the technique, a wonderful cycle gradually formed in his body, and the violent energy of the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire was tamed little by little in this cycle.
And at the moment when Fen Jue was activated, the energy of heaven and earth around Xiao Ling seemed to be boiling, rolling violently. Immediately afterwards, astonishing energy ripples, like visible tides, continuously impacted Xiao Ling's body.
Xiao Ling, who was refining the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire, treated these impurities-filled energy of heaven and earth equally and accepted them all. As these energies and the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire intertwined and circulated in his body, Xiao Ling's strange fire also began to boil.
The impurities in the energy that had sneaked into his body were burned away by the strange fire almost instantly, transformed into invisible substances, and then integrated into his bones and blood, improving Xiao Ling's cultivation bit by bit.
And every time this sub-fire of the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire circulates on the Burning Technique route, the degree of integration with the alien fire in Xiao Ling's body deepens, just like a tacit understanding between the two. Another step forward.
If we compare the present with the past, the flow speed of fighting energy in Xiao Ling's body is like changing from a stream to a rushing river, more than ten times faster.
And this rapid improvement is not only reflected in the speed of fighting spirit. In terms of absorbing energy, refining impurities, and containing power, Xiao Ling's changes have also been earth-shaking.
The reason for all these changes, in the final analysis, is that Xiao Ling is now practicing genuine heaven-level techniques.
After this experience, Xiao Ling's cultivation not only improved significantly, but after completely absorbing the essence of Bone Spirit Cold Fire, he achieved a breakthrough in the Burning Jue technique. It successfully crossed the threshold to the heaven level and was upgraded to a veritable primary level skill.
Xiao Ling had absorbed the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire before, which made the level of Fen Jue's technique barely rise, surpassing the limit of advanced Earth level. But at that time, the technique was far from possessing the power of heaven-level techniques, so it did not cause any changes in the world at that time.
However, after successfully refining the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, the Burning Jue Cultivation Technique finally achieved a real breakthrough and was upgraded to a legitimate Heaven-level Cultivation Technique. The increase in efficiency brought to Xiao Ling by this upgrade can be described as earth-shaking compared to the previous one.
In the center of the secret room, the energy between heaven and earth continued to pour into Xiao Ling's body like a tide. At the same time, the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire was gradually devoured and refined by the operation of the Burning Jue. This violent flame was transformed into essence bit by bit. The pure energy strengthened Xiao Ling's cultivation bit by bit.
On the Qinglian pedestal, Xiao Ling sat quietly cross-legged, his figure as still as a sculpture.
The surrounding flames rose up, wrapping him like a gorgeous curtain of fire. The fire light jumped and made a slight crackling sound. But Xiao Ling's figure was as steady as Mount Tai, sitting still in the sea of fire.
The aura emanating from the whole body becomes thicker and thicker under the tempering of the flames, like a king awakened in the flames, solemn and arrogant.
In the process of cultivation, the passage of time becomes difficult to detect. In this way, Xiao Ling seemed to have fallen into a deep stillness. Unknowingly, more than ten days had slipped away...
……
Zhongzhou Southern Region, Xingyun Pavilion,
In the mist-shrouded mountains, on the mountainside, a loft stands quietly here.
The attic is made of nanmu as its bones, blue bricks as its skin, with cornices and brackets, making it exquisite but not ostentatious. The tile surface is covered with moss, revealing the tranquility of the years.
It is not as luxurious as a palace, but it is extremely exquisite and blends into the landscape without being ostentatious.
The cornices are as light as a swallow's tail, and the carved railings are like stars, integrating seamlessly with the surrounding greenery.
On the balcony, two male figures sat opposite each other, like immortals coming to this world, with quite extraordinary temperaments.
The two of them were concentrating on the chess game. When their fingertips fell lightly, the sound of the chess pieces was like striking jade.
The man in white looks like snow reflecting the morning light, his hands and feet are elegant, and he holds the white zither gently, as if enlightened by an immortal.
The man in green is swaying like a green bamboo, his expression focused, and the sunspots are jumping on his fingertips, but he is slightly hesitant at this time.
The surroundings were silent, except for the whispers of the wind blowing through the leaves, intertwined with the crisp sounds of the chess pieces falling on the board, forming a mysterious picture of both movement and stillness.
During the stalemate in the chess game, a slightly hasty footsteps, like a mountain stream rushing down, from far to near, broke the tranquility around the attic in an instant.
The two of them stopped their movements and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a girl in green walking quickly. Her figure was light but her steps were anxious. The clothes fluttered in the wind, like a blue cloud rushing in the wind.
The girl in green has a beautiful face, and her eyebrows are lively. At this moment, her brows are stretched, and her eyes are full of uncontrollable joy, as if there are bright stars twinkling in them.
A small drop of sweat rolled down from his forehead. Under the sunlight, it was crystal clear, like a clear pearl. It wetted a few strands of hair and stuck to the white cheek, which was quite playful.
Stepping up the steps to the attic, every step seemed light and powerful, as if it had some kind of rhythm.
When her eyes fell directly on the two men sitting opposite each other, especially the man in green, a special look flashed in his eyes.
Mu Qingluan quickly came to the two of them and bowed respectfully to them first. Her movements were elegant and smooth, like a green lotus swaying gently in the breeze.
"Master, Uncle Yaochen."
"Girl Qingluan, what's wrong? You look like you're in a hurry. Do you have something urgent to tell us?" Feng Xian smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and a soft force gently lifted Mu Qingluan up and let him He stood up straight and said, "Look, your arrival has interrupted the chess game between my master and your uncle Yao Chen. I can only put the good game on my side for a while."
< br>
As Feng Xian said this, there was no hesitation in the movements of his hands. He waved his hand casually, and the chess pieces on the chessboard seemed to be pulled by him. They jumped lightly one by one, and finally fell neatly back to the chess pieces on the edge of the chessboard. in the box.
Sitting opposite, Yao Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes at Feng Xian when he saw this scene. But Feng Xian didn't seem to notice it, and didn't respond to Yao Chen's reaction at all.
"Hehe, Master, guess what? When the Tianshan Blood Pool opened this time, Qingluan and I seized the opportunity to break the bottleneck of the Douhuang in one fell swoop and was promoted to the Douzong realm! That Feng Qing'er of Fenglei East Pavilion, She always pretends to be superior, but now she is just a half-step fighting master."
When Mu Qingluan heard Feng Xian's question, the smile on her face bloomed like a spring flower, and she said proudly.
