Chapter Ch227 - Small Transforming Bone Dragon
Yan Tianhen had so lingering fear. When he looked at Lin Xuanzhi again, all the resentnt in his eyes was replaced with worry instead.
“Why does she want to kill us?” Yan Tianhen asked.
“Mainly because she doesn’t want to split the benefits within this Pill Limit Mysterious Land with too many people.”
Duan Yuyang angrily exclaid, “Too hateful, honourable
really wants to kill this vicious woman!”
“If you kill her, no one will be able to obtain those benefits.” Lin Xuanzhi responded mildly.
Duan Yuyang rolled his eyes. “Honourable
is rely saying that.”
“Then what exactly are the so-called benefits?” Yuan Tianwen asked.
“There are quite a lot of benefits. However, I only need a celestial-level pill and the Hepta-Brilliant Sacred Fire.”
Yuan Tianwen and Duan Yuyang both sucked in a cold breath of air at the sa ti. That the Mysterious Land had a celestial-level pill was still considered normal, but it also had the Hepta-Brilliant Sacred Fire that was ranked ninth in the alchemist world?
Yan Tianhen’s eyes lit up. “I heard Daddy ntion this kind of fire before. This is a heavenly fla that alchemists yearn for in their dreams! One can beco a great alchemist, second to none, if one refined that fla!”
Duan Yuyang squinted his eyes and looked at Yan Tianhen with a complicated expression. His gaze ultimately fell on Lin Xuanzhi.
Duan Yuyang spoke to Lin Xuanzhi with profound aning, “The books that my mother left behind also introduced this kind of Hepta-Brilliant Sacred Fire.”
Lin Xuanzhi t his gaze directly and asked lightly, “What did those records say about it?”
“The biggest use of the Hepta-Brilliant Sacred Fire is not to refine pills, but to nourish the soul.”
Yan Tianhen clearly hadn’t heard of this use before, so he asked curiously, “What does ‘nourish the soul’ an?”
Duan Yuyang explained, “Humans have past lives in addition to their present life. If they’re missing a soul in their past life, then their souls will also be incomplete in their current life. If soone wants to be whole, then they must have the entire three Yang souls and seven Yin souls; this Hepta-Brilliant Sacred Fire can take the place of a soul. That person can also take the Hepta-Brilliant Sacred Fire out again after they find their missing soul and refine the fla.”
Lin Xuanzhi gazed at Duan Yuyang, indicating that this was an important matter that should be kept a secret. “It’s the sa as what I know.”
Yuan Tianwen shook his head. “It sounds so miraculous, I’ve never heard of this before.”
Yan Tianhen asked foolishly, “So, who’s missing a soul?”
Duan Yuyang slapped him on the forehead. “Are you a fool? Who else can it be besides you?”
Yan Tianhen was dumbstruck, his appearance quite adorable. With his mouth open in shock, he pointed his finger at the tip of his nose, “?”
In their past life, just before Yan Tianhen died, he told Lin Xuanzhi, “Living is too exhausting. Dage, I don’t want a next life. In the next life...let’s not et again either.”
After saying that, he used demonic arts, attempting to shatter his own three Yang souls and seven Yin souls so that he would never again enter the cycle of reincarnation, but Lin Xuanzhi figured out his intention and exhausted all his Qi to oppose the fate that Yan Tianhen had decided for himself.
However, Lin Xuanzhi only managed to save two Yang souls and six Yin souls.
The remaining one Yang and one Yin soul disintegrated; nobody knew where they had dissipated to.
In this life, Yan Tianhen was missing one Yang and one Yin soul.
Thus, his body’s cold attribute was even more pronounced and extre than his last life’s. The Divine Devil bloodline within his body that hadn’t woken up even until the very end in his previous life now showed signs of awakening in this one.
Missing one Yang and one Yin soul ant that his soul was no longer complete; he would always be haunted by matters from the past life when dreaming.
For the ti being, although this condition didn’t severely affect Yan Tianhen’s body, the consequences brought about by the missing souls would quickly appear with the improvent in Yan Tianhen’s cultivation.
Lin Xuanzhi chased after the Hepta-Brilliant Sacred Fire in his previous life, but Shen Changgeng ultimately obtained it.
In this life, no matter what he needed to give up to exchange for it, he still wouldn’t hesitate.
Duan Yuyang was still imrsed in the sorrowful news of Yan Tianhen pitifully missing a soul, unable to extricate himself, but when he turned to look, Yan Tianhen had already resud applying dicine for Lin Xuanzhi.
Duan Yuyang, “....”
He really wanted to slap the ointnt out of Yan Tianhen’s hands. “You’re missing a soul, how can you not care about such monuntal news?”
Yan Tianhen raised his head and looked at Duan Yuyang with a pair of bright and clean eyes. “I can’t do anything about it even if I do care. Besides, why should I worry when Dage is worrying about it for ? Dage’s condition is the top priority right now.”
Duan Yuyang was imdiately exasperated. “You’re really a model younger brother. Have you forgotten the ti when he made you angry?”
Yan Tianhen blinked as he replied, “Beating is affection, scolding is love, and if you love even more then just kick them with your feet.”
Duan Yuyang was suddenly stupefied. “Where did you hear such nonsense?”
“My Dad said it before.” Yan Tianhen said as he carefully applied dicine to Lin Xuanzhi.
Duan Yuyang, “...”
Wan Linghua’s ointnt worked quite well. Lin Xuanzhi’s injuries stopped bleeding soon after it was applied. Yan Tianhen tore so soft and clean inner garnts and bandaged his wounds.
Duan Yuyang looked at his adept movents and couldn’t help clicking his tongue, “Your work looks quite nice.”
“Of course.” Yan Tianhen said proudly, “Practice makes perfect!”
“You used to get hurt all the ti?” Duan Yuyang’s heart suddenly hurt.
“Yeah.” Yan Tianhen nodded and replied with a bitter expression on his small face, “When I was a child, I especially liked climbing up and down. Once, I went to the top of a tree to dig out a bird’s nest but was found out by the bird. It pecked
and made
fall from the tree, and even the skin on my legs broke from the fall. It hurt a lot!”
Duan Yuyang, “....”
Damn it, I actually felt sorry for you, why don’t you just keep getting hurt!
Lin Xuanzhi changed into a set of clean clothes and directly burned his original ones.
It was very easy to create unnecessary troubles if one left behind items contaminated with one’s internal aura.
All of a sudden, Ah Bai and Hu Po, who had been trying to lower their presence to rock bottom ever since they first entered the cave, simultaneously cried out with “ao wu”. Hu Po even lowered his body as he glared at the silver river that was already floating. He whimpered and swayed nervously, as though he was facing a powerful enemy.
Ah Bai, on the other hand, looked particularly anxious, running around Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen’s legs.
“It’s ti.” Lin Xuanzhi stood up as he gazed at the jade coffin.
Shen Rubing, who was originally ditating to recover her strength, suddenly opened her eyes as well and stood up.
The Small Transforming Bone Dragon arched its back, its river-like form quickly solidifying into a snake-like demonic beast. Its entire body was silver, with only a long red tube extending from the snake’s head to the tail.
The Small Transforming Bone Dragon had no eyes on its head and looked like a bare whip.
The jade coffin began to tremble.
Shen Rubing took advantage of this ti to use up all the Qi that she had accumulated so far and jumped into the air, biting her fingertip, then flicking a drop of blood towards the center of the jade coffin.
In the instant when this drop of blood fell onto the very center of the jade coffin’s lid, red array patterns, with the coffin as the center, crawled out in all four directions, covering the entire mountain chamber. The coffin fell back onto the ground. The Small Transforming Bone Dragon was trapped by the dark blue flas that appeared everywhere and issued a mournful cry.
At this ti, a stone gate that only allowed one person to pass at a ti opened up on the eastern mountain wall, exactly in between Lin Xuanzhi and Shen Rubing.
“Go!” Lin Xuanzhi shouted once as he pulled Yan Tianhen along, running towards that door.
But Yan Tianhen’s foot was tangled by a tentacle that crawled over and coiled around his foot. With an “Ah!”, he fell to the ground.
“Ah Hen!” Lin Xuanzhi stopped at once and drew out a dagger to cut off the tentacle.
This action made them a step too late.
Shen Rubing pinched a talisman in her hand as she quickly flashed to the door. She reached out a hand to press the chanism next to the door, but her arm was batted away by Yuan Tianwen, who was closely following behind her.
The two started fighting in front of the stone door.
The more they fought, the farther away they got from the door. Shen Rubing didn’t want to be entangled with Yuan Tianwen any further and wanted to pass through the stone door, but Yuan Tianwen pulled out his longsword and leveled it at her chest, blocking her way.
Shen Rubing said fiercely, “Get out of my way, or else we’ll die here together!”
Yuan Tianwen replied contemptuously, “Who wants to die together with you in the na of love?”
With that, his sword swung out again.
Thus, the first people to pass through the stone door were actually Wan Linghua and Jin Fangfei, followed closely by Duan Yuyang.
Qi Er also dragged his tattered body and limped towards this side. Ah Bai couldn’t bear to watch any longer and directly gripped the back of Qi Er’s collar in his mouth as he dragged Qi Er forward.
“Ah!” Qiu Lu turned around and saw that a dark green tentacle unexpectedly stretched out from within the dark blue flas and grabbed onto Wu Shiyin’s ankle, throwing her to the ground.
Qiu Lu hurriedly drew her sword to chop at it, but after she cut one, two more ca along.
On Lin Xuanzhi’s side, he threw out a top-grade attack weapon with no hesitation and cut off all those tentacles square in the middle.
Yan Tianhen’s ankle was injured, so Lin Xuanzhi picked him up and rushed towards the stone door, quickly slipping through.
“Shijie!” The more Qiu Lu cut apart, the more those tentacles appeared. She cried out anxiously when she saw that Shen Rubing was actually still fighting with Yuan Tianwen.
The stone door began to descend.
“Yuan Tianwen, what the fuck are you still fighting for, get over here right now!” Duan Yuyang roared. Yuan Tianwen seed as though he’d been struck by lightning. He pulled back his attack and twisted his face, ducking under the stone door.
“Leave her alone! Go!” Shen Rubing called out and hurriedly rushed through the stone door. Qiu Lu gave Wu Shiyin, who was becoming more and more entangled, one last reluctant glance before turning around and running away as well.
Despair appeared on Wu Shiyin’s face.
Behind her, under the dark fire, the Small Transforming Bone Dragon roared angrily and rushed towards the stone gate.
With a bang, the stone door fell down and stopped the Small Transforming Bone Dragon.
However, Wu Shiyin, who was left inside, was crushed by the Small Transforming Bone Dragon, leaving behind only a puddle of watery blood; even her bones couldn’t be seen.
The hair-raising and terrifying mont had passed, the survivors of the calamity leaning against the dark mountain wall, gasping for breath.
Although they escaped a disaster, this was far from enough to achieve Lin Xuanzhi’s ultimate goal.
“Young Sect Master Shen.” Lin Xuanzhi looked straight at the breathless Shen Rubing in the dark and continued, “If you have any more untoward thoughts on the road ahead, I don’t mind switching to another route.”
Shen Rubing felt an abrupt shock and blurted out, “How can you know that there are other routes? Just how much do you know about this Mysterious Land?”
“Naturally less than Young Sect Master Shen.”
Shen Rubing thought for a while, then smiled coldly, “It seems that Craftsman Lin wanted to approach
in the beginning because he wanted
to lead the way!”
“I didn’t approach you, it was the exact opposite. Food can be eaten at random, but words can’t be spoken at random, so as to avoid misunderstandings.”
Shen Rubing’s expression was ashen, but nobody could tell in the dark.
After a while, Shen Rubing sneered, “I’ll acknowledge my misfortune for falling into your hands, however...are you going to take this trash along?”
She pointed to Qi family’s second young master, who was lying on the ground half-dead. Murderous intent burst forth from her eyes, clearly wanting to end his life.
