Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing felt scorching heat all over, his skin like a cooked crayfish.

Red and hot.

Where there were holes in his body, steam was now rising outward.

His five senses and seven apertures, even the pores on his body, were all like this.

A normal Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, even with a Fire Spirit Root, could eat at most three in a month.

And Xu Zhangqing, though possessing a mutated Thunder-Fire Spirit Root and stronger resistance, could now handle at most five.

Any more, and his body absolutely could not bear it.

Light damage: all meridians injured.

Heavy damage: spontaneous combustion of the whole body.

Therefore, he immediately opened the Ice Heart Jade Pot Wine in his left hand and gulped down a mouthful.

The icy wine water surged into his mouth, its taste like snow blocks from a snow mountain peak mixed with plum blossom honey, cool and cold with a hint of sweetness.

The next second, an extremely piercing aura erupted.

Xu Zhangqing subconsciously took a deep breath, and as a result his nasal mucosa felt a slight stinging pain.

One could imagine how terrifying this cold qi was.

It felt as if what he swallowed was not wine water, but a piece of thousand-year profound ice held in his mouth.

It quickly replaced the scorched bitterness left by the Red Yang Pill on his tongue tip and in his mouth, like a cold ice blade, from top to bottom, following his throat into his abdomen, slaying the source of the heat.

For a time, dense pinprick sensations began to emerge all over his body.

As if ten thousand needles were stabbing his flesh at the same time, quite uncomfortable.

"Ugh~"

Xu Zhangqing couldn't help but open his mouth and exhale a breath of cold air.

At the same time, he flipped his right wrist, and the sixth Red Yang Pill appeared in his palm.

He had no hesitation at all.

Taking advantage of the coldness remaining in his mouth, he immediately stuffed it in.

Then, with his teeth frozen numb, he chewed it with a crunching sound.

Strangely speaking, he could no longer feel that scorched bitterness at all.

Even after swallowing it, he still didn't feel much.

As if his entire body was already in a state of numbness.

The only thing he could feel was the stinging pain in his flesh and blood.

They not only did not weaken with the passage of time, but even intensified.

The addition of the sixth Red Yang Pill stirred up a bit of scorching heat once more.

But it was soon suppressed by the cold chill of the Ice Heart Jade Pot Wine.

From the current situation, the wine water was even more potent, or higher grade.

This was good news for Xu Zhangqing, so he took out another Red Yang Pill.

Adding this one, it was already the seventh.

According to the system description, there was a 20% chance of producing a Red Yang Mark on the Fire Spirit Root.

Therefore, he had not a bit of hesitation and immediately threw it into his mouth.

Without chewing, he forcibly swallowed it down.

The appearance of the seventh Red Yang Pill was like giving the heat flow within his body a new lease on life.

Originally suppressed by the powerful effect of the Ice Heart Jade Pot Wine, it erupted once more at this moment.

Facing this situation, Xu Zhangqing remained calm and quickly circulated the Nine Flames Mysterious Technique.

But not to refine and absorb the medicinal effect within his body, merely to guide it.

Because he knew well that once the fire weakened, the ice would become even more fierce.

Only by letting them oppose and consume each other would he himself face no danger.

Time quietly passed under these circumstances.

At first, Wangwang and the Pearl Chicken were curious about their master's situation.

But as soon as they approached, they immediately felt a terrifying heat wave.

But it wasn't over; behind it followed a bone-chilling cold wave.

One hot, one cold, one after another, erupting a terrifying aura.

Scared, Wangwang and the Pearl Chicken turned and ran, pulling at least ten meters away before turning back to observe with lingering fear.

They didn't know what was going on.

With their current spiritual intelligence, they still found it hard to understand.

They could only feel that their master was in some pain.

At this moment, the Soul Tree suddenly emitted waves of cool aura.

Leaning against Xu Zhangqing, his originally tense face immediately eased considerably.

Ten minutes later, the heat wave and cold wave dissipated in their mutual opposition.

Instantly, the Attribute Panel changed.

Xu Zhangqing had two spiritual roots.

The first was the Qingmu Spirit Root, belonging to the Mutated Wood Spirit Root.

The source was from cultivating the Green Lotus Creation Art.

The second was the Thunder-Fire Spirit Root, belonging to the Mutated Fire Spirit Root.

The source was from last time when he went deep into Black Dragon Pool to explore and accidentally came into contact with the Wood Fire Spirit Crystal.

Before this, these two mutated spiritual roots each possessed one effect.

Qingmu Spirit Root

Effect 1: Natural Affinity

Thunder-Fire Spirit Root

Effect 1: Thunder-Fire Affinity

But now, after consecutively eating seven Scarlet Yang Pills, even though it was only a 20% chance, it still allowed Xu Zhangqing's Thunder-Fire Spirit Root to add another effect.

Effect 2: Fire Attribute Affinity +10%

Put simply, it increased fire resistance while also increasing the power of fire attribute spells.

A ten percent increase seemed not much.

If stacked with the full-level Qingmu Fire-Drawing Technique and a Scarlet Yang Pill, the power would be quite astonishing.

Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "At least the bitterness wasn't eaten in vain."

"Woof woof!"

Wangwang saw that nothing was wrong, and hurriedly trotted forward, a hint of concern showing in his eyes.

Xu Zhangqing reached out and stroked its head: "Don't worry, your Master here belongs to those who don't eat bitterness in vain; if I didn't have two hundred percent confidence, I couldn't do something this risky."

Although Wangwang couldn't understand, he could sense his Master's emotional change, and immediately grinned with a stupid laugh.

At this moment, vibrations came from the Lightly Vitality Gourd.

Xu Zhangqing shifted a Communication Talisman out.

Because acquaintances were all placed in fixed positions, he knew who it was.

"Senior Brother Li?"

"Junior Brother Xu, Lingbi is back!"

"What? Senior Brother Lingbi is back?"

"Get ready, he wants to see us tomorrow."

"Alright, I understand."

Soon, the two ended their communication.

Xu Zhangqing put away the Communication Talisman, looking quite excited: "After being apart for two years, Senior Brother Lingbi has finally returned from hunting demons in the Central Region; I don't know if he can break through to Earth Grade Golden Core?"

I believe that there are definitely many people who have this thought now.

Li Lingbi is the face of the Li Family, carrying the entire clan single-handedly.

Making people outside the Water Control Pavilion admire him greatly, even fear him.

Such a genius returning will surely cause no small commotion.

Xu Zhangqing pondered: "When I meet Senior Brother Lingbi tomorrow, I must remind him that a fellow named Mo Sha is very likely to cause trouble."

Afterwards he stood up, turned around, and gazed at the tall Yang Tree before him.

Just now, if I didn't feel wrong, it seemed to be releasing cool Wood Spirit Qi.

Precisely because of this, I was able to not suffer so much in the opposition of ice and fire.

Xu Zhangqing swept it with his divine sense and discovered that the Wood Spirit Qi concentration inside the Yang Tree had indeed decreased by one third.

It seems that just now it indeed intervened.

It must be said, this was truly unexpected.

Xu Zhangqing chuckled: "To receive without returning is impolite; I want to see just how much you can grow."

Immediately, he summoned the Companion Green Lotus and casually placed it under the Yang Tree.

In an instant, the Green Lotus Domain spread out.

An even cooler breath surged toward all directions.

Under the support of the powerful effect, the Yang Tree began... to force growth!
