Chapter 44: Awakening the Constitution, Xiao Yixian's Amazement!

~7 min read 1,385 words

After returning to the restaurant, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin shared a room; although Qing Lin was female and her appearance was quite outstanding.

However, because she was still young, many things had not yet dawned on her.

Xiao Yixian would not be jealous of other women following by Gu Fei's side.

Furthermore, Gu Fei was simply taking on an apprentice, and on top of that, Qing Lin's background was so pitiful.

"Qing Lin, see which one you like, go bathe and change into it!"

In the room, Xiao Yixian took out several new clothes she had just bought on the street that were the right size for Qing Lin.

She muttered to herself; Gu Fei naturally heard it clearly but did not speak, while Xiao Yixian looked at her in confusion instead.

After all, she was still a young girl; she was likely experiencing a short trip like this for the first time.

Early the next morning, Gu Fei took Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin out.

Before long, an entrance to a passage appeared beneath the sand.

Recalling that Gu Fei had previously said Qing Lin was gifted and wanted to take her as his apprentice, Xiao Yixian was suddenly lost in thought.

So he simply couldn't be bothered to make another trip, as it would be a waste of time.

At the end of the passage was an underground magma lake.

She hurried back to the room, but she chatted with Xiao Yixian for a long time and could not fall asleep.

She was unwilling to let them see those cold, bewitchingly green snake pupils clearly.

Especially Gu Fei; although he looked plain at first glance and only had a good appearance, his Dou Qi fluctuations were not very intense.

Moreover, they gradually arrived at the deepest part of the passage.

It was truly great to be able to meet them.

Xiao Yixian trusted Gu Fei unconditionally; since he said he would find a way, she only needed to watch.

And as they approached, his powerful soul strength was able to sense a special aura.

The next day, the three of them—Gu Fei, Xiao Yixian, and Qing Lin—all woke up early and wandered around Shi Mo City.

It was Qing Lin's first time experiencing this kind of Dou Qi barrier, and she looked at it with curiosity for a long time.

But now, Gu Fei had changed his mind.

At night, Gu Fei informed Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin in advance.

Since he had to take Qing Lin there to awaken her talent, he could also take the opportunity to retrieve the Green Lotus Pedestal and Earth Fire Lotus Seed while controlling the two-headed Fire Spirit snake.

Gu Fei smiled indifferently and landed on the ground.

"What's wrong? Qing Lin?"

When mentioning her bloodline, Qing Lin's voice was somewhat hesitant, and she glossed over it vaguely.

She was actually a bit like a truly carefree fourteen-year-old girl.

Yet Qing Lin felt a sense of awe toward him for no reason; she always felt that Gu Fei was the most formidable person she had ever met.

Upon arriving in this desert, Qing Lin's expression was somewhat hesitant.

……

After all, Brother Gu Fei was the most powerful, and he would surely understand what she meant.

"Qing Lin, your intuition is correct; a powerful expert has indeed been here before!"

"In this area, it seems that an extremely powerful aura passed through here half a year ago, and this aura... is somewhat similar to some of the bloodline in my body."

"To think it is this place..."

Seeing Gu Fei find a mysterious passage with such fluid movements, even though she knew Gu Fei was powerful, Qing Lin was still startled by this speed.

She had been bullied before because she had never known the terrifying nature of her own talent.

The air paused for a moment, and the sand there was directly sucked to both sides, continuously spreading outward.

Xiao Yixian was observant and noticed it immediately, finding an opportunity to secretly mention it to Gu Fei.

Qing Lin's eyes turned red, and she whispered a thank you.

They walked for a while and finally saw the end.

Looking at Xiao Yixian's concerned gaze, Qing Lin's lips trembled, and having made up her mind, she turned to look at Gu Fei.

Subsequently, Gu Fei took Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin down and entered the mysterious passage.

The Green Lotus Pedestal and Earth Fire Lotus Seed were of no use to him, but they could allow Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin to accelerate their cultivation speed.

Xiao Yixian talked to her the whole way, telling her to open up and not treat herself as an outsider.

However, occasionally when she met their eyes, a trace of inferiority would flash through Qing Lin's eyes, and she would quickly look away.

Her eyes filled with heartache, and Gu Fei quickly comforted her: "I will think of a way."

Gu Fei and Xiao Yixian both treated her with the attitude of pampering a child, and she soon became familiar with them; the head she always kept lowered slowly lifted, and the smile on her face became a bit brighter.

These Green Snake Three-Flower Pupils were extremely rare, one in ten thousand; if Qing Lin used them well, she would have great prospects in the future.

"For Qing Lin to be this inferior, I fear she was often discriminated against by others before."

【Qing Lin experiences shock, Emotion Value +70】

Because the Exotic Fire in the magma land had already been taken by Medusa, the remaining Green Lotus Pedestal and Earth Fire Lotus Seed were of no use to him.

Originally, before Xiao Yixian brought up this matter, Gu Fei had not intended to go to the magma land deep underground.

Gu Fei nodded after hearing what Qing Lin had to say.

"Thank you, Sister Xiao Yixian!"

In the massive cavern, fire-red magma flowed slowly.

【Qing Lin experiences excitement, Emotion Value +70】

【Qing Lin experiences hesitation, Emotion Value +70】

Qing Lin was a bit reserved at first; after all, the temperament of Gu Fei and Xiao Yixian was different from everyone else in the mercenary group.

Hearing that they were going out, the excitement in Qing Lin's eyes was about to overflow.

Unexpectedly, Qing Lin was able to sense a powerful expert coming here from a distance of several dozen li.

However, protected by Gu Fei's Dou Qi, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin were unharmed.

Qing Lin possesses the powerful constitution of the Green Snake Three-Flower Pupils, which allows her to control certain serpentine creatures and absorb their energy for her own use; her talent can be described as extremely strong.

After keeping Qing Lin by his side, Gu Fei pondered for several days and felt it was time to let her awaken her talent.

The surrounding air seemed to distort due to the excessive heat, and scorching waves of air swept through the entire narrow space.

Xiao Yixian also became curious, her gaze fixed on Qing Lin without stopping, making Qing Lin feel somewhat shy.

"Brother Gu Fei, you sensed this? How truly impressive!"

With his understanding of the original work, he naturally knew the approximate location of that magma region.

Qing Lin spoke up, saying: "Brother Gu Fei, half a year ago, I already sensed the unusual nature of this place."

Deep underground, the fire-attribute energy was extremely dense, and the temperature was naturally very high.

"... And in front of that aura, even the leader of the Desert Mercenary Group is much, much weaker than him," Qing Lin added.

If she understood how powerful those snake eyes, which were discriminated against by others, truly were, perhaps she would also be happy, feeling that she had the power to protect herself and them.

If Qing Lin could fully develop her constitution, who would dare to look down on her then?

Subsequently, he unleashed his Dou Qi, his body flying rapidly toward the sky; he hovered in the air and reached out a palm to grab at a spot in the desert.

Occasionally, huge bubbles emerged from the magma.

But after a moment, with a faint sound, *pop*, it burst open, and scorching magma shot out from within, as brilliant as a fiery red firework.
