Chapter 391 4 Star Dou Zun

Chapter 391 Four-Star Dou Zun
Despite this, the biggest beneficiary of this incident was Chu Wanqing, who used this energy to break through the Dou Sheng barrier in one fell swoop. In contrast, Xiao Ling only refined a small part of the pure energy.

After all, most of the toxins were originally concentrated in Chu Wanqing's body, and her body was the main target of the toxins. Xiao Ling's body had relatively few toxins, so the benefits he gained from this energy refining were naturally limited.

Moreover, as a low-star Dou Zun, Xiao Ling's speed in absorbing energy is nothing compared to Chu Wanqing, who has already reached the advanced semi-saint realm.

Faced with such a huge amount of energy, Xiao Ling was unable to absorb it all even if he wanted to. If he absorbed it carelessly and exceeded his limit, he would only suffer and die from the energy.

While absorbing the energy fed back by the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, Xiao Ling could only barely absorb a small portion of the pure energy refined by the strange fire, which had already reached his endurance limit. If he was greedy for more, these energies would become a burden, which would do more harm than good to Xiao Ling.

Chu Wanqing's situation was completely different. As a semi-saint level expert, her speed of absorbing energy far exceeded Xiao Ling's, many times faster.

Moreover, she is at the critical moment of breaking through to the Fighting Saint level, and her demand for energy is extremely huge.

Therefore, most of that energy naturally flowed to her and was efficiently absorbed and refined by her.

The result is self-evident. Chu Wanqing's accumulation of many years finally erupted. Not only were her injuries completely healed, but with the help of these energies, her cultivation achieved a qualitative leap, breaking through the bottleneck of semi-saint and crossing over in one fell swoop, becoming a veritable Dou Sheng powerhouse.

Although Xiao Ling did not gain as much as Chu Wanqing, his progress in these four months should not be underestimated. Not only did he successfully devour the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, his cultivation level also improved greatly, breaking through to the three-star Dou Zun level in one fell swoop.

After that, after further absorbing the vast energy refined by the strange fire, his cultivation level climbed to the level of a four-star Dou Zun. This speed of improvement was undoubtedly quite astonishing.

In the end, things did not turn out to be the worst situation, but instead brought some unexpected surprises, which made Xiao Ling quite satisfied.

Therefore, Xiao Ling did not take the fact that Chu Wanqing absorbed most of the energy too seriously.

After all, objectively speaking, the source of those energies was originally the toxins in Chu Wanqing's body, and Xiao Ling only played the role of catalysis and refining.

Besides, the two of them experienced those unforgettable moments together. Even if Xiao Ling felt a little regretful and felt that he had not absorbed more energy, this regret was quickly drowned out by the complex emotional torrent between the two of them and did not arouse any dissatisfaction at all.

"I really don't understand what that woman was thinking, nor do I know what her attitude is. She took advantage of me and then she just ran away without saying anything, without even saying hello. She is so irresponsible."

Xiao Ling shook his head, interrupting the various thoughts in his mind. He curled his lips slightly and couldn't help but chuckle and complain.

“But then again, that woman is considered an extremely rare female Dou Sheng. Even among those ancient races, there are only a few such strong people. Tsk tsk, now such a strong person has fallen into my hands, I am not at a loss this time.”

Xiao Ling muttered to himself, and the experience could not help but reverberate in his mind. He could not help but chuckle. Tsk, I can only say that the taste was worthy of a Dou Sheng, it was really smooth...

Immediately, Xiao Ling's eyes swept lightly and fixed on a certain position in the air. There, a green jade hairpin was floating quietly, as if it was held up by some invisible force, completely ignoring gravity.

Under the soft light of the night pearl in the secret room, the jade hairpin glows with a warm luster, and a green halo diffuses vaguely, surrounding it like a filament, creating a mysterious and hazy feeling.

Xiao Ling slowly stretched out his hand, exerted a little force on his palm, and an invisible suction force was generated. The green jade hairpin seemed to be pulled by this force, turned into a stream of light, and fell lightly into Xiao Ling's palm.

The jade hairpin feels soft to the touch, as if it has spirituality, and even has a hint of warmth. It is about seven inches long, and the whole body is made of a strange green jade. The texture of the jade is as delicate as mutton fat, but it also has a sense of toughness.

The body of the jade hairpin is carved with delicate patterns, which seem to be some ancient and mysterious runes. The runes coil along the body of the hairpin, emitting a faint light. Wherever the light reaches, the dust in the air avoids it. It is obvious that this jade hairpin has the unique ability to avoid dust.

On the top of the hairpin, there is a small Chinese character "Qing". The character is integrated with the hairpin, seemingly naturally formed, yet exudes a sense of carefully crafted charm.

Xiao Ling's eyes were fixed on the words on the jade hairpin, and his mind couldn't help but outline the graceful outline of Chu Wanqing. Her figure and the scene of their parting that day replayed in his mind like a slide show.

"This encounter was nothing more than a misunderstanding, and you and I were involved in it by mistake. This time, thanks to you, I was able to get this opportunity. I, Chu Wanqing, have always been clear about gratitude and grudges, so I owe you a favor."

"There is a space mark I set on this jade hairpin. If you are in danger in the future and need my help, you can inject fighting spirit into the jade hairpin. Then I will know and appear to help you. However, this jade hairpin can only be used three times. After three times, it will collapse and dissipate. At that time, there will be no connection between you and me."

After saying that, Chu Wanqing turned around and left, her clothes fluttering in the wind, transforming into a streak of green light that swept out of the secret room. Within a few breaths, it completely dissipated.

Xiao Ling gently stroked the jade hairpin, feeling mixed emotions. He didn't know if he would ever need to use the hairpin to ask Chu Wanqing for help, but he probably wouldn't need it.

I don’t know if, if the three chances are exhausted, they will really have nothing to do with each other as Chu Wanqing said.

This woman was like a gust of wind, suddenly breaking into his world and leaving in a hurry, but leaving an indelible mark in his heart.

After a long while, Xiao Ling's mouth curled up with an inexplicable smile, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Humph, Chu Wanqing, do you think that you can have nothing to do with me with these three agreements? I, Xiao Ling, will not let you control me. Although I am not as good as you now, I will continue to get stronger. When I have enough strength, I will make you know that you can't do whatever you want. At that time, I will take you home and make you pay for today's 'leaving without saying goodbye'."

"In this Douqi Continent, the strong are respected. Now that I have embarked on this path to becoming stronger, I will not stop easily. I will let everyone know that the name Xiao Ling will become a legend, and you, Chu Wanqing, are just a small episode on my road to becoming a legend. Although it is unforgettable, one day, I will be the one who controls everything, which naturally includes the relationship between you and me."

After talking to himself, Xiao Ling held the green jade hairpin tightly in his hand, with a confident smile on his face. He took a deep breath, as if to calm down the emotions and determination in his heart.

Then, he waved his hand lightly, and the jade hairpin turned into a green light, which he carefully put away.

In the eyes of others, the status of Dou Sheng is like a distant star that is difficult to reach. But for Xiao Ling, it is just a stepping stone on the road to growth. As long as he is given enough time, it is only a matter of time before he crosses the hurdle of Dou Sheng.

However, for Xiao Ling, these grand goals are still a little far away. He is currently only a Dou Zun, and sometimes he is unable to make some decisions.

But Xiao Ling knew very well that only by continuous efforts and making himself stronger could he roam freely in this world.

"Nine-dragon Thunder Fire, it seems that it is time for you to play a role. Although I don't expect you to help me reach the top in one step, at least you can help me improve my strength a little bit."

Xiao Ling was thinking in his mind, muttering softly. He raised his finger and gently touched the center of his brow, where there was a mark of flame.

As he touched it, a silver flame slowly leaped out from the mark, suspended in the air in front of him, emitting an extremely hot aura.

This silver flame was exactly the Nine-Dragon Thunder Fire that Tang Huoer personally handed to him when he left Fenyan Valley.

The seed fire of the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire has been with Xiao Ling for half a year. During this period, it has established a close relationship with Xiao Ling. With Xiao Ling's current strength, refining this seed fire can be said to be easy and there will be no difficulty.

Before, when Xiao Ling and Chu Wanqing faced those deadly poisons, this sub-fire of the Nine Dragon Thunder Fire had stepped forward and joined forces with several other sub-fires to help refine those dangers.

Now, even the Bone Spirit Cold Fire has been successfully swallowed and refined by Xiao Ling. Naturally, this Nine Dragon Thunder Fire must also be obedient and become the nourishment for Xiao Ling to improve his strength.

With Xiao Ling's current state and cultivation, it wouldn't take much time to refine such a seed fire. Anyway, he had been in the secret room for so long, so a few days wouldn't matter. Xiao Ling stared at the Nine Dragons Thunder Fire quietly, with a glimmer of expectation in his eyes. He nodded slightly, stretched out his hand calmly, and the Nine Dragons Thunder Fire seed fire seemed to be pulled by an invisible thread and flew towards him quickly.

Almost in an instant, the Nine Dragons Thunder Fire had flown in front of him. Xiao Ling opened his mouth calmly, and the fire obediently merged into his throat, sliding into the depths of his body without any hindrance.

Instantly, the flames entered his body, and the hot energy rushed into Xiao Ling's body, as if to burn all his meridians. But Xiao Ling did not change his expression, he quickly sat cross-legged, held his breath and concentrated, and began to practice the route of the Burning Technique.

As the technique was practiced, a wonderful cycle gradually formed in his body, and the violent energy of the Nine Dragon Thunder Fire was tamed bit by bit in this cycle.

At the moment when the Burning Decision was activated, the energy of the heaven and earth around Xiao Ling seemed to be boiling and rolled violently. Then, shocking energy waves, like visible tides, continuously rushed towards Xiao Ling's body.

Xiao Ling, who was refining the Nine Dragons Thunder Fire, treated all of these impure energies equally and accepted them all. As these energies and the Nine Dragons Thunder Fire intertwined and circulated in his body, Xiao Ling's strange fire began to boil.

The impurities in the energy that penetrated into his body were almost instantly burned away by the strange fire, transformed into invisible, and then merged into his bones, tendons, and blood, improving Xiao Ling's cultivation bit by bit.

And every time this sub-fire of the Nine Dragon Thunder Fire circulated on the route of the Burning Technique, the degree of fusion with the strange fire in Xiao Ling's body deepened, as if the tacit understanding between the two had been enhanced.

If one compares the present with the past, the speed at which the fighting spirit in Xiao Ling's body flows is like a stream turning into a rushing river, more than ten times faster.

Moreover, this rapid improvement is not only reflected in the speed of Dou Qi. In terms of absorbing energy, refining impurities, and containing power, Xiao Ling's changes are also earth-shaking.

The reason for all these changes, in the final analysis, is that Xiao Ling is now practicing genuine heavenly-level skills.

This experience not only greatly improved Xiao Ling's cultivation, but also made a breakthrough in the Burning Technique after thoroughly absorbing the essence of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire. It successfully crossed the threshold to the Heavenly Rank and upgraded to a veritable Heavenly Rank low-level technique.

Xiao Ling had previously absorbed the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire, which barely raised the grade of his Burning Technique technique to the level of the advanced Earth Rank. But at that time, the technique was far from being able to possess the power of a Heaven Rank technique, so it did not cause any changes in the world.

However, after successfully refining the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, the Burning Technique finally achieved a real breakthrough and was upgraded to a legitimate Heaven-level technique. The efficiency increase brought to Xiao Ling by this upgrade was so great that it could be described as a complete revolution compared to the previous one.

In the center of the secret room, the energy between heaven and earth continued to pour into Xiao Ling's body like a tide. At the same time, the Nine Dragon Thunder Fire was gradually being devoured and refined under the operation of the Burning Technique. This violent flame was transformed into pure energy bit by bit, enhancing Xiao Ling's cultivation bit by bit.

On the green lotus pedestal, Xiao Ling sat cross-legged quietly, his body as still as a sculpture.

The flames rose around him, like a brilliant fire curtain enveloping him, and the flames jumped, making slight crackling sounds. However, Xiao Ling's figure was as steady as a mountain, sitting in the sea of ​​fire without moving.

The aura emanating from his body became stronger under the tempering of the flames, like a king awakening in flames, solemn and domineering.

During the practice, the passage of time became imperceptible. Just like that, Xiao Ling seemed to fall into a deep state of stillness, and before he knew it, more than ten days had quietly slipped away...

……

South of Zhongzhou, Xingyun Pavilion,

In the misty mountains, on the hillside, a loft stands quietly.

The attic is made of nanmu wood, blue bricks, and flying eaves and brackets, which are exquisite but not ostentatious. The tiles are covered with moss, revealing the tranquility of the years.

It is not as luxurious as a palace, but it is extremely exquisite, blending with the landscape without being ostentatious.

The eaves are as light as a swallow's tail, and the carved railings are like stars, blending perfectly with the surrounding greenery.

On the balcony, two men sat opposite each other, looking like immortals, with extraordinary temperament.

The two men concentrated on the chessboard, their fingertips lightly tapping the chess pieces, making sounds like knocking on jade.

The man in white was like snow reflecting the morning light, his every move exuding elegance, and he placed the white pieces lightly, as if enlightened by an immortal.

The man in green swayed like a green bamboo, his expression focused, the black spots jumping on his fingertips, but at this moment he seemed a little hesitant.

The surroundings were quiet and silent, with only the rustling of wind blowing through the leaves, interweaving with the crisp sound of chess pieces falling on the board, forming a mysterious picture of both movement and stillness.

As the chess game was at a stalemate, a hurried sound of footsteps, like a mountain stream rushing down, came from far away and quickly approached, breaking the tranquility around the attic in an instant.

The two stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a girl in green clothes walking towards them quickly. She was graceful but her steps were anxious. Her clothes fluttered in the wind, like a green cloud running in the wind.

The girl in green has a pretty face, with smart eyes. At this moment, her brows are relaxed, and her eyes are full of uncontrollable joy, as if bright stars are twinkling in them.

A tiny bead of sweat rolled down her forehead, and under the sunlight, it was crystal clear like a translucent pearl. It wet a few strands of hair and stuck to her fair cheek, making her look quite playful.

Stepping up the stairs to the attic, each step seemed light and powerful, as if carrying some sense of rhythm.

When her gaze fell directly on the two men sitting opposite her, especially the man in green, a special look flashed in his eyes.

Mu Qingluan quickly approached the two men and bowed respectfully to them. Her movements were graceful and smooth, like a green lotus swaying gently in the breeze.

"Master, Uncle Yao Chen."

"Qingluan girl, what's wrong? You look so anxious. Is there something urgent you want to tell us?" Feng Xian smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and a gentle force lifted Mu Qingluan up, allowing her to stand up straight. "You see, your coming here has interrupted the chess game between your master and your uncle Yao Chen, so I have to put my good game aside for now."

As Feng Xian said this, his hands moved without any hesitation. With a wave of his hand, the chess pieces on the board seemed to be pulled by him. They jumped lightly one by one and finally fell neatly back into the chess box beside the board.

Yao Chen, who was sitting opposite, rolled his eyes at Feng Xian when he saw this. But Feng Xian seemed to be unaware and did not respond to Yao Chen's reaction at all.

"Hehe, Master, guess what? This time when the Tianshan Blood Pool opened, I, Qingluan, seized the opportunity and broke through the bottleneck of Douhuang in one fell swoop, and was promoted to the Douzong realm! That Feng Qing'er from Fenglei East Pavilion always puts on a high and mighty attitude, but she is only a half-step Douzong now."

When Mu Qingluan heard Feng Xian's question, a smile bloomed on her face like a spring flower, and she spoke proudly.
