Chapter 748: Curse Fire (Zhuge Linglong Reward Addition 22)

Nothing else. As he slowly pushed the fire out of the Ju Que, the formless flames and deep black flames around him grew increasingly intense, having already roasted the stone walls around him layer by layer, spreading into the earth veins. If he didn't stop, these earth veins would transmute into fire veins, and an erupting volcano would appear on the island.

"No matter how stable this place is, I cannot let Zifu-level flames burn... If it attracts cultivators to watch, I'm afraid I'll boil the ten thousand people on the island to death."

Li Ximing stopped. Fortunately, his cultivation was no longer what it used to be, and having walked between life and death just now, his understanding of Bright Yang and the Grand Void seemed to have deepened.

He immediately took out the 【Mountain-Driving Sea-Crossing Tiger】 and operated his divine ability. The entire earth vein shifted with a rumble, moving a few inches to the left. Only then did he flick his finger, and a ding-dong sound rang out on the wall, gushing out a patch of cold water.

"Sss!"

He connected these earth veins with the water veins, and the surging earth water immediately poured into them. The water veins around him immediately evaporated into countless water vapors, and the evil energy in the earth veins also sank instantly. Dense flames still filled this place, instantly evaporating this earth water.

"This earth water naturally counts for nothing against Zifu divine abilities and magic arts, but it wins by being endless. It can prevent the accumulation of fire evil, affecting the surface, causing anomalies on the island, and attracting the attention of others."

Sure enough, the water vapor turned from the earth water immediately rushed to the ground along the gaps of the earth evil. The remaining earth water filled in, but it could not get close at all, leaving only a place of black raging flames and rolling, endlessly surging water vapor on the surface.

"Now what is surging to the ground is no longer fire evil. The energy condenses into water, turning into a large spiritual spring. This kind of earth vein change is common. The traces are almost non-existent, and it won't hurt the people on the island."

Operations that were almost impossible to complete during Foundation Establishment, Li Ximing could now do by flipping his hand. He used the 【Mountain-Driving Sea-Crossing Tiger】 to slightly reinforce the earth veins, sat cross-legged again, and pinched his fingers to calculate the time. Several months had passed.

"The jade pendant at home hasn't been crushed. Presumably, nothing too urgent has happened."

"What's more, I am overseas... I haven't reached the point of being heavily injured and incurable. I still retain quite a bit of strength, so the family can be preserved. Even if Chang Xiao has a grudge against me, he will mostly not make things difficult for the family..."

"Secondly... this matter was handled by Purple Smoke after all. If I have an accident, it's fine. If I were beaten to death by Chang Xiao in one breath, Ting Lan and Su Mian could pretend nothing happened and stay out of it. But since I haven't died, Ting Lan and Su Mian can't save face. They have to protect my family somewhat."

"Only Zhou Wei... is now in danger. Fortunately, he had already gone into seclusion, cultivating in the lake. I don't know how he is now."

"【Sang Yu Can Jiu Profound Method】... is getting harder and harder to deal with."

Li Ximing had been cursed for a long time. The flames in the Ju Que court had been forced out quite a bit, but his body surface had been roasted by increasingly fierce flames, making the glaze radiance flow, becoming increasingly fragile.

"【Gu Feng Yin Huo】 is not miraculous enough to take others' flames for one's own use. It can only control one's own flames... or ownerless fire. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to suffer this."

Li Ximing was still somewhat distressed, but the relief of escaping from Chang Xiao's hands still gave him some thoughts of finding joy in suffering: "If I, Li Ximing, could take others' flames to use, saying I was the reincarnation of some Fire Virtue True Person... there would still be people who believe it..."

It was not just the bottleneck encountered in removing the flames in his body. The negative effects of the 【Sang Yu Can Jiu Profound Method】 on his magic body itself were also becoming increasingly significant. Currently, he only felt a stinging pain in his forehead. The flames burning both inside and outside his body made his divine ability and magic power feel cold, which was difficult to resolve. The only way was to suppress the flames. The stinging pain in his forehead and the increasing coldness of his magic power were not easily resolved.

"At least 【Ye Tianmen】 drove most of the fire out of the Ju Que court. That counts as a good thing."

Stabilizing the Ju Que court, the magic body would at least not collapse. Although the flames on the body surface were somewhat troublesome to burn, Li Ximing could still move and cast spells while bearing the 【Sang Yu Can Jiu Profound Method】.

"It's just that my state... is not suitable for walking around... I'm also afraid of running into Chang Xiao if I go back."

Having luckily escaped in that torrential rain, Li Ximing guessed that it might have been the dragon kin who intervened, blocking Chang Xiao for him due to some accidents or some chess pieces: "Xiao Chuting is in the North Sea every day. It shouldn't be him. The others have even less heart. Senior Tu Long is in the South Sea... Then it can only be a dragon. It's a pity... I still used the favor Zhou Wei had with the dragon kin. I'm sorry to him."

Li Ximing certainly understood how much help this favor would be to Li Zhouwei after he achieved Zifu. Only after achieving Zifu did he know the majesty of the dragon kin better. He could only sigh silently in guilt.

He tried hard to divert his attention for a long time, sat in place for several days, and repaired the Ju Que court. The flames on his body surface burned more and more vigorously, and his magic body cracked piece by piece. His heart finally became anxious.

"What a vicious magic art! The Earth-Gazing Blood Stone is in the family treasury... but even if it were in my hands, I'm afraid it would be a drop in the bucket for Zifu injuries."

If he wanted to maintain the magic body, he had to suppress the flames on the body surface, which meant he could only give up the position of the Ju Que. Then the suppression of the past few months would be wasted in vain. But if he didn't suppress the flames, the magic body would burn weaker and weaker, also showing signs of collapse.

Li Ximing could also use spiritual objects to fill it, but the 【Sang Yu Can Jiu Profound Method】 was not the True Fire of Ye Huai earlier. These Foundation Establishment things treated the symptoms but not the root cause. It would just be lingering for a few more years, wasting savings in vain.

"If I don't want to sit and wait for death... I can only take the risk to go out and search... but in this state, carrying a large patch of flames, I am like a bright lamp whether in the Grand Void or the real world. Who wouldn't see it?"

He pondered for a long time and silently raised his head.

Li Ximing's gaze quickly crossed layers of reefs and saw the ten thousand savages on the island, this group of barbarians who were even more savage than the Shanyue.

Since being promoted to Zifu, Li Ximing had understood many divine ability mysteries. Like every Zifu who had been promoted earlier, he knew well how to consume blood energy, just as he knew well how to fabricate a body and how to occupy the magic body with Rising Yang—as naturally as eating and drinking.

Not to mention that he, Li Ximing, was an alchemist.

As long as he had a thought, with his alchemy skills, he could easily refine suitable elixirs. The problem before him would be solved. With an elixir to suppress it, combined with his divine ability, he could drive this flame out without taking any risks or paying any price.

Li Ximing stared deeply for a moment, his ears moved slightly, and he finally closed his eyes. He took out a stone box from his sleeve, flicked his finger to open it, revealing the clear, bright spiritual water inside.

He drank two mouthfuls into his lips and went into seclusion to suppress it.
