201: Eradicate cold toxins
The qianlan ice flame surged wildly, causing the temperature of the entire space to plummet, and even the air began to freeze.
Lin Feng made an immediate decision, exerting his full strength to circulate the lightning attribute Sword Essence within his body.
Silvery-white lightning erupted from him, covering his entire body. His hair stood on end, and arcs of electricity danced wildly around him as he reached for the third red emperor flowing pearl.
Just as the last red emperor flowing pearl left the altar, the qianlan ice flame erupted completely, transforming into an ice-blue Phoenix that shot straight toward the ceiling.
Fortunately, Lin Feng had already set up a lightning net on the ceiling, and the silvery-white arcs of electricity emitted a piercing hum under the impact of the ice Phoenix.
The Phoenix formed by the qianlan ice flame flapped its wings and shrieked wildly.
Every strike carried a chill that could freeze the Divine Soul, and the lightning net flickered unsteadily amidst the violent fluctuations.
"Remaining in a stalemate like this is not a solution."
Lin Feng's thoughts raced. Although the power of thunder could temporarily block the ice flame, it was difficult to sustain.
Just as he was pondering a countermeasure, a strange movement suddenly came from the heaven-stealing vine in his Sea of Consciousness.
The vine, which had been floating quietly, trembled slightly, extending several spiritual tendrils invisible to the naked eye, which actually passed through the lightning net and gently touched the Phoenix.
Surprisingly, the violent Phoenix suddenly quieted down when touched by the spiritual tendrils, as if soothed by some ancient Aura.
The spiritual tendrils of the heaven-stealing vine slowly wrapped around the Phoenix.
Wherever they passed, the violent Aura of the ice flame gradually receded, eventually transforming into a docile blue flame.
Lin Feng seized the opportunity and guided the heaven-stealing vine to slowly retract the entire mass of ice flame back into his Sea of Consciousness.
When the last trace of blue light sank into his forehead, a cold blue moon appeared in his Sea of Consciousness, suspended alongside the heaven-stealing vine.
"This heaven-stealing vine actually has such a wonderful use."
Lin Feng was secretly surprised. He had originally thought that this mysterious vine could only assist in perception and stealing Cultivate insights; he had not expected it to be able to capture such a heaven and earth spiritual object.
Although he could not fully control the ice flame yet, since it had already settled in his Sea of Consciousness, he could slowly refine it in the future.
Fang Lingyao stood in the distance. After witnessing the whole process, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the lightning light around Lin Feng gradually recede, she couldn't help asking: "That ice flame... was it subdued just like that?"
Lin Feng nodded slightly, feeling the silent blue flame in his Sea of Consciousness.
After a brief silence, the two found a relatively flat corner in the depths of the cave.
Three red emperor flowing pearls rotated slowly in front of Lin Feng, emitting a gentle power of supreme yang.
"These flowing pearls obviously cannot be consumed directly."
Lin Feng suspended the pearls in his palm. "Their power of supreme yang is too overbearing; it needs to be introduced into your Meridians step-by-step, using Spiritual Qi as a medium."
Fang Lingyao sat cross-legged, her face pale, and nodded.
When the first wisp of supreme yang Qi passed through Lin Feng's palm and entered her back, her whole body trembled violently.
It didn't feel warm; instead, it felt like a red-hot branding iron probing into her Meridians, clashing violently with the cold poison inside her body.
Under this impact, she gritted her teeth, her fingernails digging deep into her palms, and cold sweat instantly soaked her clothes.
"Hold on."
Lin Feng's palm was firmly pressed against her back. "Slowly guide this power; do not resist."
After the first day, Fang Lingyao was almost exhausted, but surprisingly, the chill that had entangled her for many years had loosened significantly.
This discovery reignited her hope.
As the treatment progressed, the coordination between the two became increasingly tacit.
By the tenth day, Lin Feng was already able to manipulate all three flowing pearls simultaneously, forming a small Formation around Fang Lingyao's vital acupoints.
Fang Lingyao also gradually adapted to the impact of the supreme yang power, and even began to actively guide the Qi flow to circulate within her Meridians.
However, one late night a month later, the cold poison in Fang Lingyao's body suddenly erupted.
The remnant Divine Soul of the Profound Nether Ice Phoenix seemed to have sensed a crisis and began to counterattack wildly.
Fang Lingyao was covered in frost, her lips purple, and the situation was critical.
Lin Feng made an immediate decision, pulling Fang Lingyao into his arms and using himself as a conductor to channel the supreme yang power of the three flowing pearls directly into her heart Meridians.
Obviously, this action was extremely risky; if they were not careful, both of them would suffer heavy injuries.
In her blurred consciousness, Fang Lingyao only felt a warm embrace wrapping around her, and that reassuring Aura made her instinctively relax.
When she woke up again, she was almost completely nestled in Lin Feng's arms.
To protect her heart Meridians during the recent backlash of cold poison, Lin Feng's entire right arm, up to his shoulder, was covered in a thick layer of deep blue frost.
"Your hand..."
She spoke weakly, her voice filled with guilt and anxiety.
"It is fine, focus."
Lin Feng interrupted her, his voice steady, but the fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead showed that he was under tremendous pressure.
He circulated his Spiritual Qi even faster, using his own cultivation to forcefully resist the cold poison, ensuring her spirit remained clear.
As the treatment deepened, forcing out the cold poison from the depths of her bone marrow was no longer something that could be achieved by transmitting Spiritual Qi through clothes.
After a brief silence, Lin Feng's voice sounded in a low tone: "Forgive me."
Fang Lingyao's cheeks flushed slightly, but she knew this was the only way.
Thus, she turned around, her fingertips trembling slightly as she untied the silk sash at her waist.
Her plain white outer robe slipped off quietly, revealing her smooth back with beautiful lines, with only a piece of undergarment remaining.
Lin Feng composed his mind, but when his warm palm pressed against her vital acupoints on her back, both of them trembled slightly.
Pure and gentle Spiritual Qi, like a warm current, slowly flowed in, traveling along the Meridians, pursuing and strangling the stubborn cold poison.
Fang Lingyao's initially stiff body gradually softened in that reliable warm current.
She could even vaguely perceive the scorching heat radiating from his palm due to long-term exertion, as well as the steady and powerful rhythm of his heartbeat.
Later on, she could very naturally, during the intervals when he was adjusting his breath, wearily rest her forehead on his shoulder.
And when she was exhausted, Lin Feng would continue to channel Spiritual Qi with one hand, while his other hand would gently support her waist to help her maintain balance.
Sixty days passed, and the last trace of the yin cold poison was finally refined by the supreme yang Spiritual Qi.
Spiritual Qi surged around Fang Lingyao, her cultivation Bottleneck was suddenly broken through, her Aura increased sharply, and the cave became as bright as day due to the agitation of the Spiritual Qi.
She slowly opened her bright eyes, and the first thing that came into view was Lin Feng's tired yet relieved smile.
"How do you feel?"
Fang Lingyao's eyes reddened slightly, and she leaned gently into that warm embrace that had given her rebirth and an indescribable sense of security, her voice choked with emotion: "Thank you... for these sixty days and nights of... protection."
Lin Feng was slightly stunned, then patted her back: "It was you yourself who persisted."
Fang Lingyao felt a warmth in her heart, Spiritual Qi surged around her, and the cultivation Bottleneck that had troubled her for many years had actually loosened.
Lin Feng stared at the three colorful red emperor flowing pearls in his palm, the bead bodies emitting a docile hum under the guidance of his Spiritual Qi.
Two months of nourishment with Spiritual Qi had made these supreme treasures completely acknowledge their master, and at this moment, they were resonating subtly with the Fire Attribute Sword Essence within his body.
He had originally planned to refine them immediately to forge his natal sword, but catching a glimpse of Fang Lingyao beside him, he silently suppressed this thought.
Spiritual Qi flowed smoothly around Fang Lingyao, and the cold poison that had once occupied her body had dissipated without a trace.
"It is time to leave."
Lin Feng put away the flowing pearls and stood up.
After nodding, Fang Lingyao lowered her head to tidy her sleeves.
When she looked up, she had already recovered her usual cold and detached expression, only a faint red on her earlobes revealing her inner thoughts.
However, when Lin Feng and Fang Lingyao stepped out of Heaven Burning Valley, the scene outside the valley made both of them stop at the same time.
