Chapter 242: Fire Elemental Spirit, Fire Spirit Color Lotus!
"Brother Lin! This is terrifying! Just one hour, and most of the damage to my meridians has already healed!"
After understanding that Jiang Lin's Burning Technique could only be used for a maximum of one hour continuously, Xiao Yan, full of excitement, spoke to Jiang Lin as soon as he stopped his cultivation.
Yao Chen, standing nearby, also approached to check Xiao Yan's body and was taken aback. He then looked at Jiang Lin, who was slowly opening his eyes, with disbelief.
Jiang Lin smiled faintly and said, "You're lucky. I just happened to refine a wood-type crystal core. Just like how wood-type Dou Qi can activate the life energy in herbs, I was able to use wood-type Dou Qi to activate the life energy in your body. Water-type Dou Qi also happens to carry life energy as well."
"Huh?" Xiao Yan was surprised, pointing at his own nose in disbelief. "Brother Lin, you mean you're refining me like a medicinal pill?"
Yao Chen: "..."
Jiang Lin's eyes flashed with thought, then he smiled. "In a way, yes, it's similar. Anyway, the effect is good, isn't it? My crimson golden Dou Qi can only push you to your limits without damaging your meridians. Then, using your body's natural functions, you can recover on your own. Of course, during this process, my crimson golden Dou Qi also helps in reshaping your meridians."
"I didn't expect that with the cooperation of wood and water-type Dou Qi, the crimson golden Dou Qi would reshape your meridians in the front, and the wood and water-type Dou Qi in the back would activate life energy. Together, it produced such a terrifying result. It seems like the path I'm walking—collecting the five elements—is the right one."
"Mm-hmm!" Xiao Yan nodded earnestly, then tried to activate his cultivation technique. A terrifying and strange fire appeared in his hand. He gazed at the fire with a somewhat entranced expression and said, "Don't worry, Brother Lin! I'll also help you collect the five-element spiritual items! If I do this once more, my meridians should be fully healed. If it weren't for you, Brother Lin, even if I took high-level medicinal pills, I'd need at least two to three months for recovery."
The Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire in Xiao Yan's hand looked terrifying but wasn't completely unstoppable. With Xiao Yan's current cultivation as a four-star Dou Shi, if the Dou Ling didn't resist, he might be able to burn them with the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire at the level of a Dou Shi. However, if it fought back, sorry, before Xiao Yan's Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire could burn through the Dou Ling's Dou Qi armor, the Dou Ling would likely be able to kill Xiao Yan in one strike.
Most of the terrifying power of the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire was sealed in Xiao Yan's Spirit-Nourishing Space, and he could only use the strange fire energy he could currently control at his cultivation level. If he used it recklessly, it would only harm his body in ways that would be difficult to heal.
"Alright, you go ahead and cultivate. With the Burning Technique, you won't be able to absorb energy, but your body should retain a lot of pure energy, which will feed back into your cultivation. This is actually better than the Burning Technique," Jiang Lin said, nodding at Xiao Yan. He realized his role was shifting more and more toward that of a nurturing figure. He felt like an essential piece of equipment—providing energy to someone who was already at full strength, and adding 'body refining' and 'marrow cleansing' effects.
Fortunately, Jiang Lin was still unaware of Xiao Yan's future plans for developing strange fire nukes; otherwise, his role as a "nuclear bomb repairman" might have been a bit too obvious.
"Mm, okay!" Xiao Yan didn't say much, directly sitting down to begin cultivating the Burning Technique. As he cultivated, he quickly realized that the energy in his body was abundant. While he didn't gain any increase in Dou Qi cultivation through the Burning Technique, unlike the Burning Technique, which focused on the body, his technique drew out the pure energy that his body hadn't absorbed yet. With the help of the fire-type crystal core, the mysterious Burning Technique, and the strange fire energy in the Spirit-Nourishing Space, Xiao Yan realized that his cultivation speed had increased several times! What would have taken several months to improve by a single star now could be done in under a month!
"Keep going. This time, I want to try absorbing the strange fire Dou Qi," Jiang Lin said after resting for an unknown amount of time. He then invited Xiao Yan to continue cultivating, and naturally, Xiao Yan didn't refuse. After all, his cultivation speed hadn't slowed, and the only thing that might be consumed was the strange fire energy in his Spirit-Nourishing Space. But Jiang Lin was like an energy extractor, and once he used the Burning Technique to extract it, Xiao Yan found that he was absorbing strange fire energy even faster.
With the accumulation of a thousand years of energy from the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire, it was enough to assist both of them in cultivating to the Dou Huang stage, and Xiao Yan wasn't stingy with it.
Whoosh!
As the crimson golden light connected to Xiao Yan's body again, this time, Xiao Yan had some control over his meridians and Dou Qi. He actively cooperated with Jiang Lin in the Burning Technique. With Xiao Yan's cooperation, the blue strange fire Dou Qi mixed into Jiang Lin's crimson golden Dou Qi, and then the grand Dou Qi cycle fed back into Jiang Lin's body.
The moment Xiao Yan's blue Dou Qi entered Jiang Lin's body, the latter raised an eyebrow slightly because, in his perception, the intensity of the Burning Technique increased, and its speed also improved. His body seemed to be undergoing a rapid adjustment, trying to adapt to the special energy of the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire.
As Jiang Lin's crimson golden Dou Qi continued to enter Xiao Yan's body, Xiao Yan seemed like a dam that had just broken. The strange fire energy in the Spirit-Nourishing Space flowed from the other side, continuously injecting into Jiang Lin's body. The terrifying energy, like a volcanic eruption, caused Jiang Lin's crimson golden Dou Qi to be tinged with a deep blue color, indicating that Jiang Lin's body could not yet fully digest the strange fire Dou Qi.
However, as Jiang Lin's Spirit-Nourishing Space burned with rich gray-white flames and the Blue Lotus inside his abdomen slowly rotated in the collision with the cyan-golden flames, the lotus leaves on the Blue Lotus began to show subtle changes.
Under the burning of the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire and the unnamed fire, the water and wood crystal cores slowly revolved around the Blue Lotus. While absorbing the energy from the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire to revive the lotus, it also absorbed Jiang Lin's unnamed fire for some special refining.
Unconsciously, the edges of the petals on the Blue Lotus seemed to slowly develop a thin golden edge.
Meanwhile, Jiang Lin, brave and bold, swallowed a source crystal and directly used the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire to refine it. Under Xiao Yan's sweaty control, the source crystal melted in the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire into a transparent dewdrop that slowly dripped onto the center of the golden-edged Blue Lotus. At that moment, countless soul patterns appeared, and the simple Blue Lotus seemed to be polished and waxed, gradually becoming translucent.
A month later, a four-colored lotus flower slowly bloomed within Jiang Lin's abdomen.
