Chapter 475: Gift of Fire Tribulation Fruit

"Compared to the last time we met, Xun'er has been out for a lot longer this time. For me, I really don't have any bigger extravagant requests."

Xiao Ling laughed softly, then shook his head gently, as if lamenting the passing of time. Then, he took a deep breath and sighed with a hint of helplessness,
"It's a pity that this alchemy meeting took so long that we didn't spend much time together. This is a bit of a pity..."

"Don't worry, Brother Xiao Ling, you are already a five-star Dou Zun. With Xun'er and your talents, I believe that in the near future, we can both reach the Dou Sheng realm. By then, you and I can stay together as long as we want, and there will be no power that can separate us."

Xun'er smiled gently and comforted him in a gentle tone.

Although she also felt reluctant in her heart, she would rather use such words to calm Xiao Ling's mood.

"Xun'er, I will never break the promise I made to you before." Xiao Ling's eyes flashed with determination. He looked at Xun'er gently, his voice low and powerful,
"Believe me, that day will not be too far away. Not only will I break through to become a Dou Sheng, but I will also strive for the pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent and become a powerful person that no one can match. And by then, you will be the most noble woman on this continent."

Xiao Ling's words were full of vision and promise for the future. He looked at Xun'er's trusting face, and a warm current surged in his heart. He slowly stretched out his hand and tightly grasped Xun'er's slender and soft boneless jade hand.

Xun'er looked at Xiao Ling's serious face and couldn't help but stretch out her other free hand and gently stroked Xiao Ling's cheek. "Brother Xiao Ling, Xun'er has said it before. Xun'er believes in you. One day, you will definitely become the strongest person in this continent. And during your growth journey, Xun'er will always stand behind you."

"Brother Xiao Ling, just as Xun Er once said, I firmly believe it. One day, you will stand at the pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent and become the strongest person that no one can match."

Xun'er stared at Xiao Ling's determined and serious face, and couldn't help but stretch out her other free hand. Her fingertips gently slid across Xiao Ling's cheek, bringing a hint of warmth.

"On your journey to seek power, no matter the wind and rain, Xun'er will silently guard behind you and support you forever."

The silver moonlight gently spread over the two of them, as delicate as flowing water, outlining their flawless faces.

On this quiet night, their thoughts and love for each other flowed through the air like electricity, and their eyes were deeply locked, unable to look away.

Their bodies seemed to be pulled by some invisible force, and they involuntarily moved closer and closer until their faces were only a thin line apart.

Finally, under the witness of the moonlight, their lips touched gently. At that moment, time seemed to stand still and the world held its breath.

After a short silence, Xiao Ling and Xun'er's bodies trembled slightly at the same time. Realizing the sudden change at this moment, they stopped kissing and slowly separated from each other.

Xiao Ling gently stroked the corners of his lips, as if savoring the softness and sweetness of the brief contact just now.

However, he did not stay here for long. With a hint of confusion in his eyes, he turned to Xun'er, and there seemed to be something hidden on that pretty face.

Xiao Ling's tone was full of surprise, and he slowly said, "Xun'er, at that moment just now, if I'm not mistaken, your cultivation seemed to have made a breakthrough, right?"

There was inquiry in his eyes, and he was waiting for Xun'er's confirmation.

Xun'er's cheeks were slightly flushed due to the close contact between them just now, just like the reflection of the sunset, which made her extremely charming.

Facing Xiao Ling's question, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but then, her joy was beyond words. She nodded gently, with uncontrollable excitement in her voice.
"Yes, Brother Xiao Ling, the bottleneck in my cultivation that I had not been able to break through before was unexpectedly loosened just now. The moment I subconsciously relaxed my body, my cultivation broke through naturally."

Hearing this, the corners of Xiao Ling's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

A breakthrough from just a kiss? The talent of a divine bloodline is so terrifying! There is really no comparison. There is really no comparison.

Even Xiao Ling, who had been lucky all the way, felt a little envious for some reason.

He shook his head and admired silently in his heart. The power of this divine bloodline was indeed extraordinary.

Xun'er noticed Xiao Ling's expression and could naturally guess what was going on in his heart. She herself was also surprised by this sudden breakthrough in cultivation, but since it had already happened, she was more delighted.

She took Xiao Ling's hand again, smiled and continued, "Brother Xiao Ling also made a great contribution to my breakthrough this time. When I am with you, I always feel at peace, and all my troubles and worries seem to be swept away. It is this tranquility and peace of mind that provides me with the opportunity for a breakthrough."

"Haha, after hearing what you said, it seems that I have inadvertently made a great contribution to your breakthrough this time."

Xiao Ling chuckled and shook his head slightly, his face full of smiles.

Then, a light flashed in his eyes, as if an idea flashed in his mind. He changed the subject and said with a hint of expectation in his tone,
"It just so happens that, Xun'er, you have made a breakthrough in your cultivation and we are about to part ways. I have specially prepared a gift for you."

When the word "gift" came out of Xiao Ling's mouth, Xun'er's eyes flashed with light instantly.

As the eldest daughter of an ancient clan, she had been accustomed to various high-level martial arts and fighting skills resources since she was young, and elixirs were readily available.

Therefore, she did not have too many expectations for material things.

However, since this gift came from Xiao Ling, its meaning was naturally different.

In her opinion, the value of the gift lies not in itself, but in the precious affection it carries from Xiao Ling.

This kind of thought is what really makes her heart beat.

Xiao Ling did not pretend to be mysterious. As soon as he finished speaking, he gently flipped his palm. With a flash of white light, a palm-sized fiery red fruit lay quietly in his palm.

Feeling this sudden change, Xun'er's eyes were involuntarily attracted by the fiery red fruit. She looked closely and saw that the fruit was emitting a red halo, like the luster of lava flowing on the surface.

At the same time, a warm heat slowly spread out from the center of the fruit, immediately dispelling the slight chill brought by the night and bringing a hint of hot breath.

Below the fiery red fruit, eight lotus leaves are quietly supporting it. These lotus leaves are colorful, yellow with a slight red, like the sunset glow.

Starting from the edge of the lotus leaf, eight yellow lines meander upward and spread toward the top of the fruit.

In the center of these golden lines, deep red fine lines are interwoven, crisscrossing each other. Upon closer inspection, these deep red lines are like the vascular network in the human body, adding a rhythm of life to the fruit.

Xun'er observed the fruit in detail, not missing any inch of its texture.

Then, she reviewed all the memories about the flaming red fruit in her mind, but despite this, her brows furrowed involuntarily.

Faced with this fruit, although she tried her best to retrieve relevant information, she still felt confused and had no idea about its identity and origin.

Realizing that she knew nothing about this fruit, Xun'er's interest was aroused.

As the eldest daughter of an ancient clan, she had extensive knowledge, but the fruit in front of her made her feel novel.

This discovery convinced her that this was definitely not an ordinary thing. In front of Xiao Ling, Xun'er didn't need to hide her curiosity. She asked directly: "Brother Xiao Ling, what on earth is this? Xun'er seems to have never seen a description of it in any records. Even the ancient books of the clan have never mentioned such a fruit."

Xiao Ling smiled lightly, with a hint of pride in his eyes. He handed the fiery red fruit in his hand to Xun'er, with a hint of smile in his voice: "Hehe, what I took out is naturally extraordinary. If it is too mediocre, how can I have the nerve to give it to you, Xun'er."

As he spoke, he handed the fruit to Xun'er and introduced it in detail, "This fruit is called the Fire Tribulation Fruit. Even though it is just an ordinary fruit, it has the unique ability to breed a special life form called Yan Ji..."

Then, Xiao Ling described in detail to Xun'er the specific abilities of Yan Ji, a creature like him. However, what he described was not completely true, but a version that he had carefully revised.

In Xiao Ling's narrative, Yan Ji was portrayed as a unique humanoid magical beast, and could even be seen as a creature condensed from pure fire elements.

"Fire Tribulation Fruit, Princess Yan, I see." There was a hint of understanding in Xun'er's voice.

As Xiao Ling's narration came to an end, Xun'er's face showed a hint of enlightenment. She blinked her beautiful eyes, and curiosity flashed in her eyes. She couldn't help but ask,
"Brother Xiao Ling, where did you get this Fire Tribulation Fruit? Not to mention that the Flame Princess it gave birth to has such a strange effect, even I have never heard of this Fire Tribulation Fruit itself, so I guess its origin must be not simple..."

"This Fire Tribulation Fruit naturally has an extraordinary origin. I discovered it from a distant ancient relic." Xiao Ling's tone carried a hint of pride, and his face remained calm, as if he was narrating something unremarkable.

"The owner of the ruins used an extremely special method to preserve this Fire Tribulation Fruit intact until now. As for how many years it has spanned, even I cannot accurately judge, but it must be a relic from ancient times."

Xiao Ling's words seemed to contain infinite reverie about that long history. His eyes looked into the distance, as if he could travel through time and space to see the splendor and mystery of the ancient ruins.

His chuckle echoed in the air, revealing a sense of ease, even though he knew that all this was just a story he made up.

This Fire Tribulation Fruit obviously did not originate from the Douqi Continent, otherwise, with the ancient clan's profound heritage, how could Xun'er, the eldest daughter of the ancient clan, know nothing about it.

As for the origin of the Fire Tribulation Fruit, it was naturally a treasure that Xiao Ling successfully extracted after breaking through to the five-star Dou Zun realm using the precious extraction opportunity he obtained.

The Fire Tribulation Fruit originated from the world of Full-time Mage. It is a unique existence that not only has the magical effect of healing injuries. However, compared to the auxiliary function of healing injuries, the more important thing is its special ability to breed the Flame Princess.

As the Holy Spirit of Fire Element, Yan Ji not only possesses awe-inspiring talents and combat power, but also has a special ability, which is to possess humans.

When Yan Ji possesses a host, she can greatly enhance the host's fire attribute ability, making the original flame power even more violent, and the combat power can be greatly enhanced in a short period of time.

This possession characteristic is undoubtedly a powerful icing on the cake for warriors who practice fire attributes. Once Yan Ji possesses a body, fighting against opponents of higher levels is a piece of cake.

As Xun'er is a cultivator who specializes in fire attributes, she naturally has a high degree of compatibility with Yan Ji. If she can cultivate a Yan Ji by her side, it will undoubtedly be a great help.

As for Xiao Ling himself, he is actually very suitable for raising a Yan Ji, and this thought has flashed through his mind.

But in the end, he chose to give up. For him, raising Yan Ji was not a difficult task, but the improvement in her combat power seemed insignificant.

After all, Xiao Ling holds the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his hand, which contains a large number of powerful soul slaves. If he really encounters an opponent that is difficult to defeat, he can not only rely on the protection of the Fighting Saint Yao Lao, but even if he releases a few soul slaves at will, it will be enough to deal with various crises.

Therefore, the combat power increase that Yan Ji can bring is indeed not an indispensable help to Xiao Ling.

More importantly, judging from Xiao Ling's current situation, he believes that he does not have enough energy to raise Yan Ji, who is like a daughter to him.

His own life was already full of ups and downs, and he had no time to care about other things. In comparison, it seemed more appropriate to leave Yan Ji to Xun Er to raise.

After all, the ancient tribe that Xun'er belongs to has a relatively leisurely pace of life, and she has enough time and energy to take care of a little Yan Ji and treat her as her own daughter.

This will not only add some fun to Xun'er's life, but also allow Yan Ji to grow up in a warm environment, which is killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking in this way, Xiao Ling naturally made a decision in his heart. Letting Xun'er raise Yan Ji was the most appropriate choice.

In addition, Yan Ji can also activate a special flame called "Heaven and Earth Tribulation Flame". This flame is different from ordinary flames. It contains the power of catastrophe between heaven and earth. Once released, if the person activating it is strong enough, it can cause a catastrophe that destroys the world.

Although Xiao Ling had never witnessed the true power of the Heaven and Earth Tribulation Flame with his own eyes, based on his perception of the special energy contained in the Fire Tribulation Fruit, he could make a rough judgement. Once Yan Ji grew to her peak state, the destructive power of the Heaven and Earth Tribulation Flame would definitely not be inferior to any other kind of strange fire.

As for the huge amount of resources needed to train Little Yan Ji after she was born, Xiao Ling didn't care at all. Who is Xun'er? She is the jewel in the crown of the Gu Clan, the precious daughter of Gu Yuan, the peak Dou Sheng.

In this Douqi Continent, Zi Yan has not yet unified the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, and Zhu Kun is still trapped guarding the door of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion. Then Xun'er is undoubtedly the undisputed richest woman in this continent.

Although the ancient tribe has not yet been extravagant enough to use strange fire to nourish Princess Yan, for Xun'er, obtaining various high-level beast fires is just an easy matter.

After all, as a Holy Spirit of Fire, Yan Ji can grow by devouring soul seed fragments in the world of Full-time Mage. So there is no reason why she cannot rely on these beast fires to strengthen herself in the Fighting Qi Continent.

With the nourishment of high-level beast fire, Yan Ji's growth will surely advance by leaps and bounds.

The ancient tribe is rich in resources, and for Xun'er, providing Yan Ji with what she needs for growth is just a piece of cake.

After all, on this continent, the strength and heritage of the ancient clan are beyond the reach of others.

After Xiao Ling finished his narration, Xun'er nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.

Although she felt that Xiao Ling's words seemed to be reserved, since he chose to stop here, Xun'er had no intention of continuing to investigate. She maintained her usual gentleness and calmness, as well as her complete trust in Xiao Ling.

"Since this is a gift from Brother Xiao Ling to Xun'er, I will gladly accept it. Xun'er likes this gift very much."

Xun'er's words were filled with sweetness, and her smile was like the spring sun, warm and bright.

She gently raised her hand, and her fair and tender palm slowly stretched out, gently taking the Fire Tribulation Fruit containing strange energy in her hand.

"As for the little Flame Princess in the fruit, when she comes to the world, I will use all my care and love to help her grow."

Staring at the gentle expression on Xun'er's face, Xiao Ling suddenly felt a maternal glow for no reason. This thought flashed through his mind, and Xiao Ling shook his head gently, laughing at himself. Xun'er was still so young, how could he have the idea that she was about to become a mother? He laughed at himself secretly, thinking too much.

However, Xiao Ling couldn't help but fantasize that if Xun'er really became a mother in the future, she would definitely be an extremely outstanding mother. He secretly planned that in the future, he and Xun'er must have a few more big fat boys to inherit their extremely excellent genes.

"Haha, I've only heard of Lady Yan for the first time. You, little fellow, are really lucky to have encountered such a precious treasure. Moreover, seeing that you are willing to present such a treasure to the young lady, it shows that you are a sincere person. This kind of heart is indeed worthy of the young lady's favor."

Just as Xiao Ling's mind was filled with complicated thoughts, a chuckle that carried the accumulation of years suddenly rang out, breaking the original tranquility.

At the same time, a subtle spatial fluctuation slowly spread out beside the two people, like ripples on the water. Immediately afterwards, the figure of an old man gradually emerged from the rippling spatial fluctuations and walked out with steady steps. (End of this chapter)
