Chapter 359: Almost Burned to Death

However, Grandfather analyzed and explained that this was a huge opportunity for Lin Zhangqing, which should not be missed easily.

After all, being able to leave this small place of Qingyun Corner and go to the real cultivation world outside to see the world is better than being stuck here for a lifetime.

And this is also Great-Grandmother's support for the Lin family, so Lin Zhangqing must go, whether for himself or for the family.

Although it was said so, Mother, Aunt, and sister were still very reluctant to part with them.

Especially sister Lin Changling, who shouted directly to go with her brother and sister-in-law, but because she was only at the sixth layer of Qi Refining.

She was at the fifth layer of Qi Refining before, but during the time Lin Zhangqing achieved Foundation Establishment, she advanced another layer, and now she is at the sixth layer of Qi Refining.

However, everyone felt that her cultivation was still too weak, and she was too young, fearing that she wouldn't be able to take care of herself, so no one in the whole family agreed.

This made her run back to her room in a fit of pique.

Only then did everyone understand why Chen Zi Ya would be abrupt and come back directly with the person who went to propose marriage.

And everything was simplified, and a small ceremony was held within the family, and even the most important Joint Registration Ceremony was not held.

Everyone discussed for a long time, all about Lin Zhangqing and the other leaving the Qingyun Corner. After the time was about right, everyone went back to cultivate.

As for Chen Zi Ya, Lin Zhangqing still sent her back to that small courtyard, and after agreeing to meet tomorrow, he returned to his room.

Seeing the family like this, especially Mother and Aunt, he was also very reluctant.

But he had no way to tell them that he could come back at any time, so he could only force this depressed mood down.

He decided to find something to do, so that he wouldn't think about these things first.

So after returning to his room, he directly activated the Illusion Array and entered the inner space.

He prepared to try the efficacy of the other spirit wine in the Xuan Yuan Heavy Water Bottle. However, he was afraid that the movement would be too big, so he decided to try it in the inner space.

With the experience from last time, he didn't dare to swallow it himself, deciding to let his subordinates try the effect first.

After spending some time

Seeing that Lin Zhangqing had noticed her, Xu Meiniang hurriedly stepped forward to pay her respects and greet him, "This subordinate greets the Master! After Sister Liyu finished handing over her duties today, she officially entered closed-door cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhangqing was stunned for a moment. She had only told him yesterday, and she was already in closed-door cultivation today; he hadn't expected her to be so impatient. Didn't she know that haste makes waste?

Being so rushed, Lin Zhangqing even worried whether her first attempt at Foundation Establishment would succeed. He then shook his head and stopped thinking about the issue.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he spoke directly to Xu Meiniang: "Since Zhao Liyu has entered closed-door cultivation for Foundation Establishment, you will have to work a bit harder.

How about this! By chance, I once obtained a type of high-grade spirit wine.

Based on the aroma, I judge it to be a fruit wine or perhaps something like monkey wine.

However, the quantity is very small, and I am reluctant to drink it myself.

I will get a little out for you; consider it a reward for your hard work during this coming period."

Of course, Lin Zhangqing could not say directly to Xu Meiniang, "Come here and test for me whether this spirit wine has any bad effects." That would hurt the feelings of a subordinate too much, so he still had to embellish it appropriately so that his subordinate wouldn't get upset! And when Xu Meiniang heard that Lin Zhangqing wanted to reward her with spirit wine, she immediately thought of the Hundred Flowers Drunken Soul Wine in the Master's possession.

She believed that the high-grade spirit wine the Master spoke of should not be inferior to that; naturally, she was already more than willing in her heart.

Therefore, she happily thanked him, "Many thanks to the Master for bestowing the wine. I will certainly manage the spirit herbs and spirit plants in the space well and not fail the Master's expectations."

Lin Zhangqing chuckled upon hearing this and said nothing more, instead taking out the Xuan Yuan Heavy Water Bottle and extracting a bit of spirit wine directly from it.

Because he did not know exactly what the effects were, and because such an obedient subordinate was rare, he did not want her to easily meet with any accidents.

Therefore, Lin Zhangqing only produced a tiny glob of spirit wine, a small amount about the size of a single Qi Gathering Pill.

However, as soon as this glob of spirit wine emerged and touched the air, a very rich fruity aroma immediately wafted out.

Xu Meiniang smelled it and, unable to resist, immediately stepped forward and swallowed it in one gulp.

Even more exaggeratedly, in just this short moment, all the Three-Colored Deer ran over from the distance.

They circled the two of them, sniffing incessantly, and then began to cry out "You-you!" It took Lin Zhangqing quite a while to shoo these sharp-nosed fellows away.

By this time, Xu Meiniang was already sitting cross-legged on the ground, circulating her cultivation technique to refine the spirit wine.

However, she looked a bit off now; all the visible skin on her body was gradually turning red, and there was even a slight appearance of being bloated.

Her appearance gave Lin Zhangqing a fright, but he knew she was refining the spirit wine with all her might, and in her current state, there was nothing he could do to help.

So he remained silent, trying his best not to make a sound, lest he disturb her refinement.

He also gently backed away a distance, just in case Xu Meiniang were to burst from the pressure and spray him with blood.

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario he had imagined did not occur. After about an hour or so, the red color on Xu Meiniang's body gradually began to fade.

The bloating of her body also gradually disappeared. After another half an hour or so, Xu Meiniang finally opened her eyes.

Seeing that Lin Zhangqing was watching her, she hurriedly stood up and said excitedly, "Many thanks to the Master for the spirit wine bestowed; I feel absolutely wonderful right now."

Lin Zhangqing hurriedly asked, "After you consumed it, what exactly did you feel? Tell me in detail."

Xu Meiniang nodded and said happily, "When I first consumed it, there was a rich fruity fragrance in my mouth.

I had intended to savor it carefully, but I didn't expect that I would soon be unable to pay attention to it.

Because the spirit wine I swallowed turned into a wave of heat that quickly swept through my whole body; it felt as if my body was about to burn up all at once, which scared me to death.

So, I could only desperately circulate my cultivation technique to refine away this heat. Fortunately, it slowly began to have an effect, and my whole body was no longer so swollen.

I don't know how much time passed, but I felt all the heat waves disappear, and my body felt very light and comfortable."
