Clear Peak!
The small courtyard in the valley.
This was the place where the two daughters lived.
Su Qingxue returned to the courtyard and after half a day of cultivation, her face suddenly turned pale.
Zhao Lingzhi was alarmed, “Oh no, miss is having an attack again, it’s all because of that Mr Jin, who ate the Vermilion Phoenix Fruit that miss used to save her life.”
Su Qingxue smiled gently, “Mr Jin is much more serious than me, the Vermilion Phoenix Fruit should be given to him. Besides, with this injury of mine, other elixirs are fine.”
Saying that, a layer of cold air seeped out from Su Qingxue’s body surface, and the surrounding grass and trees instantly withered and froze at the touch of it, seemingly entering the cold winter.
“Miss, quickly take this Second Grade Heart Fire Pill to neutralise the Yin Qi.”Zhao Lingzhi hurriedly took out a jade bottle and poured out a fiery red elixir.
“Good!”
Su Qingxue took the Red Dan.
The elixir entered her stomach and dispersed a fiery qi, which provoked the Yin Underworld Flame in her dantian to rebel, directly spewing out a stream of pure Yin qi that invaded her limbs and bones.
“What ……” Su Qingxue’s delicate body was frozen, shooting shivering, spitting out the airflow, all white cold air, freezing to the heart.
“Not good, the Yin Underworld Flame’s backlash has intensified.”Zhao Lingzhi was as anxious as a hot pot of ants, hurriedly assisting Su Qingxue and sending her to the bed.
“Lingzhi!”Su Qingxue weakly said, “Take the Young Patriarch’s token and go to the Dan Peak, and help me receive a Third Grade Fire Origin Pill.”
“Miss, I understand!”
Zhao Lingzhi took the token and left in a hurry.
After flying all the way, she arrived at a beautiful peak, ancient trees abounded in the sky, pavilions were lined up, and at the very centre, there was a mahogany hall, overflowing with wisps of medicinal fragrance.
This is the Dan Peak Hall.
It was the place where the disciples of the Earth Flame Sect received their pills.
Zhao Lingzhi walked in and saw a green-robed cultivator sitting in the centre of the great hall, old and with a deep aura, thinking that he was an Immortal Zun level elder.
“Elder Dan, this is the Young Patriarch’s token, I would like to take a Fire Elemental Dan.”Zhao Lingzhi respectfully handed out the token.
Elder Dan shook his head, “No, third grade pills are so precious, your authority is too low to exchange for a Fire Origin Pill.”
“How could Young Patriarch’s authority not be enough?”Zhao Lingzhi was surprised.
Elder Dan teased, “Young Patriarch is nothing but a false name, one is not a Patriarch, the other is not an Elder, I used to allow Su Qingxue higher permissions because of Patriarch Su’s face, as for now, it’s completely unnecessary.”
“But, I really need the Fire Elemental Pill, please have mercy on Elder Dan.”Zhao Lingzhi knelt down and begged bitterly.
“Scram!”
Elder Dan slapped out his palm.
A strong wind struck, blowing Zhao Lingzhi as she rolled and crawled, and was directly swept away from the great hall.
“Damnable! Damnable! Damn it!”
Zhao Lingzhi crawled up from the ground in a sorry state, her heart was even more aggrieved, choking with tears, “If Patriarch Su was still alive, how could you guys dare to bully people like this. All of you wait for me, Miss will definitely survive this and become the new Patriarch.”
At this moment!
“Senior Sister Zhao.”
Gu Yanzhi walked over.
Zhao Lingzhi seemed to see hope, and with a wipe of her tears, she pleaded, “Eldest senior brother, please, I have an important matter ……”
“You want the Fire Elemental Pill to ease Su Qingxue’s backlash!”Gu Yanzhi smiled as he handed out an elixir, which was none other than the Third Grade Fire Elemental Pill.
Zhao Lingzhi received the elixir and was suddenly shocked, “How did Eldest Brother know that?”
Gu Yanzhi smiled smugly, “Heaven and Earth’s foreign flames are violent and ferocious, how can they be so easy to refine. Back then, I took a large amount of pills in order to refine the Green Yang Fire before suppressing the backlash. Senior Sister Su’s Yin Underworld Flame is superior to the Green Yang Flame, this one Fire Elemental Pill is just a drop in the bucket, it won’t be able to save her!”
Zhao Lingzhi was so anxious that she was in a state of confusion, asking, “What, the Fire Elemental Pill isn’t even useful, what can we do then, Miss won’t be able to hold on much longer.”
Gu Yanzhi waved his hand, “Don’t panic, I have two methods here that can completely suppress the Yin Underworld Fire’s backlash. The first is to take a fifth grade fire dan, or a rare treasure medicine, such as the Vermilion Phoenix Fruit, and the second ……”
Halfway through his sentence, he didn’t continue.
Zhao Lingzhi was so anxious that she was on fire, “Eldest Senior Brother, why don’t you say something!”
Gu Yanzhi smiled and said, “Secondly, it’s to look for a possessor of the Yang Flame, and by dual cultivating with Senior Sister Su, you will be able to reconcile yin and yang and completely refine the flame.”
“This ……” Zhao Lingzhi was doused with cold water and shocked, “Dual cultivation, could it be that Eldest Senior Brother you want to ……”
“That’s right!”
Gu Yanzhi volunteered, “My Qingyang Fire is a pure yang fire, and Senior Sister Su’s Yin Underworld Fire is a pure yang fire, we’re sort of a match made in heaven.”
“Senior brother, thank you for the Fire Elemental Pill, I’ll take my leave first.”Like a frightened cat, Zhao Lingzhi quickly fled with the pills.
Gu Yanzhi’s voice also came from behind, “Senior sister Zhao, human life is important! If you need it, you can come to Gu Feng to find me.”
Zhao Lingzhi fled in a panic.
Returning to Clear Peak!
She rushed into the valley’s small courtyard.
As soon as she stepped through the door, she felt a chill.
The entire small courtyard was shrouded in a cloudy aura, and the ground was even bonded with thin frost, as if winter had descended, but it was still spring outside.
“No good!”
Zhao Lingzhi rushed into the boudoir.
Su Qingxue was curled up on the bed, shivering, her lips were frozen purple, her originally pretty face was filled with pain.
“Miss, I’ve returned with the Fire Origin Pill.”Zhao Lingzhi hurriedly fed the elixir.
The elixir instantly melted in the mouth.
A warm fire intent wandered out.
Su Qingxue’s brows stretched as her body temperature rose back up, yet the Yin Underworld Flame within her dantian once again rose to power, pouring out Yin Qi as ferociously as waves.
“Cough cough cough!”Su Qingxue suffered a severe backlash and coughed sharply, actually coughing up some ice slag.
His body temperature dropped drastically, and the Yin Qi even seeped out from his pores, combining with the water vapour and transforming into a thin layer of ice, freezing his originally fair skin to a blue and purple patch.
“Miss! You have to hold on ah! You haven’t avenged the Patriarch yet?”Zhao Lingzhi sobbed, her heart like a knife.
“I can’t …… anymore.”
Su Qingxue was so weak that he felt his blood solidifying.
Zhao Lingzhi wiped away her tears, and a ferocity came out of her eyes, “It’s all because of that Mr Jin, who ate Miss’s Vermilion Phoenix Fruit. A seventh grade treasure fruit cannot be easily digested, there must be remnants of the medicinal power in his body, I’m going to kill him and use his hot blood to help Miss get through this ……”
Su Qingxue pulled Zhao Lingzhi’s arm and smiled gently, “If only one of the two of us can live, I want him to live.”
“When Mr Jin saved my life in the mines, I will return his life now. Lingzhi, promise me that if I die, I will return the Yin Underworld Flame to Mr Jin, and tell him that I actually …… Hey, forget it, that’s all!”
Su Qingxue sighed and slowly closed her eyes, waiting for death.
Zhao Lingzhi’s tears fell like rain.
“Miss, I will definitely save you!”
After saying that! Without looking back, Zhao Lingzhi rushed out of the valley’s small courtyard and headed to Gu Feng.
At this moment!
There was a rumble of thunder.
Dark clouds converged and rain began to fall.
The raindrops sprinkled down on the earth and landed in the small courtyard, but than the Yin Qi crumbled and froze into flakes of snow, drifting down and falling, with a lonely and scattered beauty.
“I heard that when I was born, the sky dropped snow, so my father named me Snow. Now that I died in a heavy snowfall, it can be considered a consummation. I wonder if Mr Jin will shed tears for me after knowing about my death?”
Su Qingxue looked at the wind and snowstorm outside the door as her thoughts drifted into the distance.
Rumble!
There was another thunderclap.
The moment of shocking whiteness illuminated a piece of heaven and earth.
It also reflected the two craggy silhouettes at the door, which were Zhao Lingzhi and Gu Yanzhi.
“Gu Yanzhi, how did you get in. The small courtyard is surrounded by a prohibition carved by my father himself, it’s impossible to come in without our permission!”Su Qingxue shrank to the corner of the bed in fear.
Gu Yanzhi laughed, “Of course it was Senior Sister Zhao who let me in.”
Su Qingxue said incredulously, “Lingzhi, you actually betrayed me!”
Zhao Lingzhi had a determined look on her face, “Miss, I did it in order to save you, as long as you and Eldest Senior Brother have dual cultivation, the two flames will mingle, and the yin and yang will be reconciled, it will be able to save your life. I know that this method is unacceptable to Miss, but losing your body is better than dying.”
“You’re confused! I will not let him touch a single hair on my head even if I die.”Su Qingxue got up trembling and drew her accompanying sword, ready to fight to the death.
Gu Yanzhi licked his lips and smiled wickedly, “Senior Sister Su, I’m doing this out of the goodness of my heart, if we dual cultivate and the yin and the yang intermingle, not only will we be able to eliminate your backlash, but we can also collect so that you will be promoted to Immortal Exaltation, and I will be able to go one step further and reach Immortal Exaltation Grade 4!”
“And I’ve heard of a legend that as long as the owner of the Yin Fire and Yang Fire keeps dual-cultivating, it’s possible for the mysterious and unpredictable Yin and Yang Divine Fire to be born. Come to think of it, you and I are truly a match made in heaven!”
