Chapter 737: The Resurrection of Lingxi
Inside the Spirit God Ring, a ball of light like a small sun hung in the air.
A faint stinging sensation came to Wang Jianqiang's eyes, and he subconsciously shifted his gaze away.
A moment later.
The light gradually dimmed.
The "small sun" also slowly vanished.
Wang Jianqiang turned his gaze back, and immediately saw an exquisitely beautiful figure floating in mid-air.
Her long, pitch-black hair cascaded down like a three-thousand-foot waterfall, and her jade-like skin shimmered with a faint radiance, dazzlingly white.
On a face that looked as if it had been meticulously carved by the Creator, her beautiful eyes were slightly closed, as if she were in a deep slumber.
Suddenly.
Her long eyelashes trembled, and her closed eyes slowly opened.
"Where is this?"
The moment Mu Lingxi opened her eyes, a flash of bewilderment crossed them.
She only remembered that after she had performed the "Forbidden Technique," she had burned through her lifespan and vitality, and after that, she knew nothing.
She wondered if Senior Brother had escaped danger.
Thinking of this.
She instantly came to her senses, a flash of worry crossing her eyes as she looked around.
Following that, when she saw the familiar figure looking at her with excitement, she suddenly froze.
Her pretty face instantly fell, and a look of sorrow appeared on it, "Senior Brother, you died so miserably!"
Wang Jianqiang's expression stalled.
The sincere emotions he had just been brewing in his heart were instantly destroyed, and the heart-wrenching words he had prepared were choked back in his throat, unable to be spoken.
"You silly girl, you're the one who died."
Wang Jianqiang cursed with a dark face.
Mu Lingxi's large, teary eyes blinked, "What do you mean? Senior Brother, you didn't die?"
"Then how did you end up here with me?"
Wang Jianqiang rolled his eyes, "Of course it's because you didn't die either."
"I didn't die?"
Mu Lingxi was stunned, then her figure flickered, appearing before Wang Jianqiang, and she reached out her slender jade fingers to pinch Wang Jianqiang's waist.
Wang Jianqiang was completely bewildered, "What are you doing?"
Mu Lingxi shook her head, "Wait a moment."
Wang Jianqiang:...
Mu Lingxi stared at Wang Jianqiang for a while, her pretty face instantly falling, "Senior Brother, you're lying to me, we're both already dead, aren't we?"
As she spoke, she looked around, her gaze sweeping over the Ice Coffin she had previously lain in and the Ice Coffin where Xiaobai was, then she looked at Xiaobai's soul body standing to the side, staring at her blankly.
With a mournful face, she said, "It's so dark here, there are two coffins, and a corpse and a ghost—could this be hell?"
"It must be. We spent our lives swindling and doing all sorts of evil; how could we not end up in hell?"
"But then again, that corpse is quite pretty. As expected of Senior Brother, even after death, you managed to find such a beautiful ghost mistress."
In the corner.
Xiaobai was dumbfounded.
Originally, she had thought that since Mu Lingxi had just been resurrected, it was a moment for her and Wang Jianqiang to show their true feelings, so she had deliberately hidden in a corner and hadn't made a sound to disturb them.
She hadn't expected Mu Lingxi's Fire Power to be so fierce that even she was dragged into it.
But then again, her assessment of Wang Jianqiang was actually quite accurate.
Thinking of this, a faint, imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Xiaobai's mouth.
Wang Jianqiang did not notice the change in Xiaobai's expression.
He was listening to Mu Lingxi's incessant rambling, speechless for a long time.
Seeing that Mu Lingxi had no intention of stopping, he said somewhat powerlessly, "Lingxi, we really aren't dead, and besides, we are both Cultivators now—why would you still believe in ghosts and gods?"
"Oh, right~"
Mu Lingxi was stunned, "But when I just pinched you, why didn't you feel any pain?"
"Wait, this is a dream, this must be a dream."
Wang Jianqiang was helpless, "Even if it were a dream, you'd have to be alive to have one, right? Besides, have you forgotten that I am a body-refining Cultivator? How could you possibly pinch me hard enough to hurt?"
Hearing this, Mu Lingxi froze, and a look of excitement surged onto her pretty face, "So, we really didn't die?"
"We really didn't die!"
"Yay, that's great!" Mu Lingxi jumped up in excitement, "This is truly wonderful news. Senior Brother, let's celebrate properly."
Wang Jianqiang coughed dryly, "There is someone else here."
Mu Lingxi was startled, turned her head to look at Xiaobai, and a look of surprise flashed across her face, "Senior Brother, why does this beauty look a bit familiar?"
She stared at Xiaobai, a look of astonishment appearing on her face.
Following that, as if she had realized it, her beautiful eyes widened instantly, "I remember now, this is the soul body from Ye Lingyun, Ye Lingyun's master!"
"That's right, it's me, but I have already drawn a line between myself and Ye Lingyun," Xiaobai smiled at Wang Jianqiang.
Hearing Xiaobai's words, Mu Lingxi immediately turned to look at Wang Jianqiang, full of admiration, "Senior Brother is still so impressive; I never expected that even Ye Lingyun's master would fall for your flowery underpants."
Hearing Mu Lingxi's words, Xiaobai's face instantly flushed red, "Fairy Mu, you've misunderstood. Your Senior Brother and I are only in a cooperative relationship."
"He promised to help me be resurrected, and I assist him in his cultivation."
"Oh~~ So it's cultivation~~"
"I understand."
Mu Lingxi cast a "I know, don't worry" look at Xiaobai.
Xiaobai:...
Why do I feel like you still didn't understand what I meant?
"Ahem, Lingxi, Fairy Bai is a senior at the Great Vehicle Stage, and it was the senior who used the power of the Ice Coffin to preserve your physical body and gave me the Pill Formula to resurrect you, so you were able to be successfully resurrected. You must not be rude."
Wang Jianqiang gave a dry cough and scolded her.
She knew all too well how sharp Mu Lingxi's pretty little mouth was.
If she wasn't stopped quickly, she would surely make a scene for him next.
Xiaobai's skin wasn't exactly thick; he shouldn't provoke her.
"Great Vehicle Stage!"
Hearing Wang Jianqiang's reminder, Mu Lingxi's eyes widened, then she blinked at him and secretly gave a thumbs up.
She looked at Xiaobai again, her face full of apology, and said, "Senior, don't worry, I believe you. You and my Senior Brother are definitely innocent."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but cast another look of admiration at Wang Jianqiang.
The Great Vehicle Stage!
This was a legendary powerhouse!
Senior Brother is only at the Nascent Soul Stage...
This gap is even more exaggerated than that between ants and elephants in the mortal world.
Senior Brother is truly valiant.
Xiaobai:...
I don't believe that you believe it!
Xiaobai wanted to sternly Repel Mu Lingxi with a few words, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to be stern.
After all, between her and Wang Jianqiang, it really couldn't be called innocent.
Strictly speaking, what she said wasn't wrong.
She rubbed her brow with some weariness and looked at Wang Jianqiang, "Wang Jian—Daoist Friend Wang, I am a bit tired."
After speaking, she turned into a wisp of light smoke and flew into the Ice Coffin.
Mu Lingxi blinked, snuck up to Wang Jianqiang's ear, and whispered, "Senior Brother, this senior is quite shy."
Wang Jianqiang glared at her, "You dead girl, you'd better worry about yourself. Check your body and see what changes there are compared to before."
Mu Lingxi stuck out her tongue, silently checked her body, and her beautiful eyes widened a fraction.
"My cultivation has reached the Ninth-Order Will Stage."
Wang Jianqiang nodded.
He had already discovered this.
Mu Lingxi's Root Bone had undergone the tempering of the Jade Purification Art, and after this death and resurrection, her cultivation had transformed.
He did not feel surprised at all that she could reach the Ninth-Order Will Stage.
However.
The effect of the perfect Life Creation Pill shouldn't be just this simple, right?
"Are there any other changes?"
Hearing this, Mu Lingxi began to investigate again.
A moment later.
She opened her beautiful eyes, and a look of suspicion appeared in them.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Jianqiang asked hurriedly.
Mu Lingxi said with a strange expression, "My Nascent Soul has changed?"
As she spoke, she moved her intent, and an exquisite Nascent Soul, looking exactly like Mu Lingxi, appeared.
On this Nascent Soul, it was draped in a long dress condensed from black and white colors.
Wang Jianqiang could feel that this long dress was not simply condensed from Spiritual Power, but was transformed from a powerful Will Power.
The intensity of this Will Power had completely surpassed the limit of the Ninth-Order Will Stage.
Moreover, a peculiar and powerful force flowed from this black and white dress.
Wang Jianqiang was no stranger to this force.
That was Intent Power.
It was the Life and Death Artistic Conception, formed by the fusion of Life Intent and Death Intent!
In the eyes of Mu Lingxi's Nascent Soul, two tiny yin-yang fish patterns were reflected.
As the eyes blinked, the Life and Death Artistic Conception permeated the air.
Whether it was Life Intent or Death Intent, taking either one alone was a powerful Intent Power that would make countless Cultivators envious.
The Life and Death Artistic Conception formed by the fusion of the two forces was even more powerful.
Mu Lingxi did not actively trigger the Intent Power, but the mere aura it faintly emitted caused a faint sense of crisis to rise in Wang Jianqiang's heart.
A Nascent Soul mutation, and she had comprehended Intent Power.
And it wasn't just an ordinary Intent.
Could this be the true effect of the perfect Life Creation Pill?
Following that, Wang Jianqiang shook his head secretly.
No~
Comprehending Artistic Conception depends entirely on the individual Cultivator and the Technique they practice; it should have nothing to do with the Perfect Life Creation Pill.
The true effect of the Perfect Life Creation Pill should be that it caused the mutation of Lingxi's Nascent Soul.
At this moment, Wang Jianqiang could not help but recall his own experience after reaching the Ninth-Order Will Stage Consummation.
The experience of Will Power continuing to rise, and after surpassing the limit, condensing into a Will Cocoon.
The true efficacy of the Perfect Life Creation Pill should be to further elevate Mu Lingxi's Root Bone, which had already reached its limit after being tempered by the Jade Purification Art.
Allowing her cultivation to surpass the Ninth-Order Will Stage and reach the realm where Will Power transforms, just as he had before his Blood Rebirth.
It is just that.
Back then, his Will Power had not yet completed its transformation when he encountered a great change.
And Mu Lingxi, at this moment, has clearly completed the transformation.
Potential increased, comprehending Life and Death Artistic Conception.
This tribulation of Lingxi's is a tribulation, but it is also a stroke of fortune sufficient to have a long-term impact on her future cultivation.
"Senior Brother, I feel that my Nascent Soul seems to possess powerful combat strength."
Just then, Mu Lingxi said with some hesitation.
Wang Jianqiang's expression stirred, "Try it out."
"Here?" Mu Lingxi could not help but look around.
"No problem, this space is very sturdy, you can feel free to strike."
Wang Jianqiang smiled.
The Spirit God Ring is, after all, Xiaobai's treasure.
How powerful is the treasure of a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator?
Let alone Lingxi, even a Void Refinement Stage cultivator would be unable to damage it in the slightest.
Hearing Wang Jianqiang's confirmation, Mu Lingxi set her mind at ease, and with a thought.
The petite Nascent Soul before her pointed a finger.
A wisp of black energy broke through the air, and with a bang, exploded in the void.
The destructive power of this attack was not great.
But after seeing this attack, Wang Jianqiang could not help but raise his eyebrows, a look of gravity flashing in his eyes.
Mu Lingxi's strike just now contained Death Intent.
Its destructive power against inanimate objects is indeed not great, but the threat it poses to living things is exaggerated.
Just now he was only watching from the side and was not the target of this attack, yet he still had the illusion that his life force could be extinguished at any moment.
Immediately following, his heart suddenly stirred.
This Death Force and Destruction Power seem somewhat similar.
It is more like a weakened version of Destruction Power.
For targets possessing life, the lethality of the two is about the same; the difference is that death and life are mutually restraining, while Destruction Artistic Conception is pure annihilation.
But for inanimate objects without life, the power of this Death Intent is much weaker; the two differ by more than one grade.
However, compared to the power of Mu Lingxi's strike, what is more important is that Mu Lingxi's Nascent Soul truly possesses combat ability.
Just like his own Nascent Soul, it is not the least bit weaker than the power exerted by the physical body.
"Sure enough, my Nascent Soul possesses combat ability!"
Mu Lingxi was pleasantly surprised, then looked at Wang Jianqiang, stepped forward to hug Wang Jianqiang's arm, and said happily, "Senior Brother, the changes in me must be because of you, right?"
"You are truly too amazing, how did you do it?"
Sensing the curiosity filling Mu Lingxi's big eyes, Wang Jianqiang smiled.
He told Mu Lingxi his guess regarding the efficacy of the Perfect Life Creation Pill.
"So that's how it is."
Mu Lingxi revealed a look of realization, then her expression stirred, "Since the Life Creation Pill is so amazing, then hurry up and refine more, and help Senior Sister Yu Yao and Senior Sister Yutong improve as well."
"That way, our Four Heroes of Hehuan will be invincible in the future."
Wang Jianqiang curled his lips, "It's not that simple. The raw materials for this Life Creation Pill are very rare. If not for entering the Alchemy Emperor Secret Realm this time, I wouldn't know when I would be able to gather a set."
"Alchemy Emperor Secret Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Lingxi revealed a look of confusion.
Wang Jianqiang smiled and explained the process of how they had arrived Outside the Realm, how he had infiltrated the Zhou Family, entered the Beast Taming Sect as a servant, and eventually accompanied Zhou Yun into the Alchemy Emperor Secret Realm.
He told Mu Lingxi in detail.
After listening to Wang Jianqiang's account, Mu Lingxi's eyes suddenly lit up.
"So that means we have already infiltrated the enemy's rear?"
……
Outside.
On the ground.
A light flashed on a Jade White Ring.
Two figures, one male and one female, flashed out.
Wang Jianqiang gestured with his palm, put away the Spirit God Ring, and wore it on his finger.
"Senior Brother, according to what you said, there are countless opportunities in this Alchemy Emperor Secret Realm, but the difficulty of obtaining them is very high."
"Didn't you say that Xuan Che has amazing luck? Why don't we go rob him?"
"That way, it will definitely be much easier."
Hearing Mu Lingxi's words, Wang Jianqiang laughed, "Junior Sister understands me best; Senior Brother has exactly that intention."
