Chapter 104: Body Tempering with Ink Fire

“I ask you, do you know where my mother is?”

Xu Lingqing stared at the Violet Ink Qilin, her vermilion lips slightly parted. Her beautiful face was now filled with majesty as she questioned loudly.

“I don’t know. Her strength comes and goes without a trace. It’s impossible for anyone to know where she is!”

Xu Lingqing pursed her lips thoughtfully.

Although his words didn’t reveal her mother’s location, they inadvertently revealed a lot of information about her.

“Then I ask you again, where is the place Zidian mentioned that can make one stronger?”

“That place is off-limits. Once you enter, it’s a nine-in-ten chance of death. If you die inside, I won’t be able to explain it to the master.”

Xu Lingqing’s beautiful eyes narrowed, and she glared at it fiercely, “Are you going to tell me or not?”

“Do you really want to know?”

Zidian coughed dryly, “Old man, just tell her. Only by becoming stronger can she fight against those Divine Realm experts.”

The Violet Ink Qilin’s tone was filled with endless dominance, “So what? A mere Divine Realm in a lower world is not even enough for me to stomp on!”

“Old man, you just know how to brag. Then why don’t you come out of the mountain, solve the master’s current enemies, and let her go find the mistress in peace?”

“Unreasonable, that’s not the same thing at all!”

Zidian pouted and grumbled, “To put it bluntly, you just don’t have the strength. Master, why don’t we just leave!”

“Hmph! You little brat, you’re making me so angry. If you really want to go, then follow me!”

Xu Lingqing straightened her body without fear, “Take me there!”

It turned out that the great hall under the well was far larger than what Xu Lingqing had seen when she entered.

There was a hidden door in the center of the great hall. After opening the hidden door, it was a world of scorching heat.

A high temperature of several dozen degrees permeated the air, burning the body and mind even more than the residual mountain fire outside the Giant Min Canyon.

Xu Lingqing was drenched in sweat after taking just a few steps, her violet-gold long dress soaked with sweat.

The Violet Ink Qilin locked the hidden door from the other side and pointed at the world before them, introducing it with pride.

This is the training ground of our Violet Ink Qilin clan, called the Ink Fire Realm!

Entering the Ink Fire Realm can temper the meridians in the body, strengthen the physique, and has the wonderful effect of dispelling toxins from the body. It is even possible to obtain supreme treasures left behind from ancient times inside.

There are three levels of difficulty in the Ink Fire Realm: the outer area, the inner area, and the core area.

The outer area has a high temperature of one hundred degrees, the inner area is five hundred degrees, and the core area has a high temperature of one thousand degrees.

The Violet Ink Qilin is of the water attribute and has a restraining effect on fire. But for humans, even the outer area is an unbearable torture.

The Violet Ink Qilin looked at Xu Lingqing and asked faintly, “If you’ve decided, then enter the Ink Fire Realm!”

“Old man, I want to go too!”

The Violet Ink Qilin directly ordered in a commanding tone, “Only one person can enter at a time!”

“Wait for me outside!”

Xu Lingqing gave an unconcerned look, put Zidian on the ground, and rushed into the Ink Fire Realm.

It wasn’t that she didn’t know that there was great danger hidden inside, but a strong impulse had arisen in her heart.

That impulse seemed to make her incomplete Extreme Ice Body begin to stir restlessly, freezing the surrounding space filled with flames into layers of imperceptible frost.

However, the moment her feet stepped into the Ink Fire Realm, she had a change of heart.

It was no wonder the Violet Ink Qilin said that only one person could enter this training ground.

Xu Lingqing’s expression was horrified. She watched as all the clothes on her body were melted into ashes by the violet-ink flames, revealing her perfect body.

If there were other people by her side, the shame in her heart would undoubtedly increase the difficulty of the trial.

“What a strange flame, it’s actually comparable to the immortal fire brought down by the Immortal Fire Talisman!”

Xu Lingqing stepped barefoot onto the ground of the Ink Fire Realm. The land here was not as scorched and devastated as she had imagined.

The land in all directions was a lush green, but the branches longer than three inches were all burned to ashes.

She also immediately had a profound feeling, as if the three inches below the ground and the sky above were two different worlds. It was scorching hot above, and even a bit chilly below.

Xu Lingqing pondered all this for a few breaths. Feeling the sweat drenching her body, she couldn’t help but circulate the first form of the Empress’s Heart Sutra.

Violet-Gold Body.

An invisible violet-gold light covered her skin, isolating the high temperature around her with the violet-gold color.

And at this moment, the Extreme Ice Body hidden within Xu Lingqing’s body began to stir restlessly.

The Extreme Ice Body, which was only half complete, suddenly became extremely unstable. A burst of cold air spewed from her dantian, enveloping her body.

She had thought that the Extreme Ice Body was only emitting cold air to protect its master. Unexpectedly, the cold air directly affected the violet-gold barrier around her, intertwining and merging with the surrounding high temperature.

Suddenly, the extreme cold inside Xu Lingqing’s body and the endless heat outside her body pressed down on her from the inside out.

Pfft…

The backlash from the alternating cold and heat made her unable to help but spit out a mouthful of blood. The blood evaporated in mid-air, and the blood that fell to the ground three inches below was frozen into small blood crystals.

Xu Lingqing nodded slightly, the corners of her mouth twitching violently.

She immediately retracted the effect of the Violet-Gold Body and swallowed the half-mouthful of blood back down.

The blood was slightly fishy, but at least it was back in her body.

After the Violet-Gold Body dissipated, the invisible high temperature once again rushed over, pressing down on Xu Lingqing’s body.

“Extreme Ice Body?”

“Are you trying to use this Ink Fire Realm to repair the incomplete half?”

The Extreme Ice Body seemed to understand Xu Lingqing’s words. It gave birth to a trace of spiritual intelligence and transformed the spiritual root into the form of a baby, nurturing it in her abdomen.

Tempering ice with fire, extremes beget their opposites.

Any substance in the world, after reaching its limit, will give birth to the opposite force. Ice and fire are no exception.

The Extreme Ice Body absorbed the high temperature of the Ink Fire Realm, using Xu Lingqing’s body as a medium to intertwine and merge, actually repairing a part of the incomplete portion.

As the Extreme Ice Body was repaired, dozens of spiritual rhymes actually emerged from within Xu Lingqing’s body.

Four hundred spiritual rhymes!

Third-level Pulse Unsealing Realm advanced to the fourth-level Pulse Unsealing Realm!

Xu Lingqing could vaguely feel that if the Extreme Ice Body was completely repaired, her strength would once again undergo a qualitative leap.

Immediately, her eyes lit up. She stood on the spot and accelerated the melting speed of the Extreme Ice Body and the Ink Fire Realm.

At the same time, her body was constantly being ravaged by the two forces of ice and fire, and a violent tremor ran through her body.

Inch by inch, fresh blood was squeezed out from the surface of her skin. In just a few breaths, her body was covered in blood.

In her originally clear eyes, an endless sense of pain suddenly appeared. The pain turned into confusion, and Xu Lingqing’s consciousness gradually became listless.

“Hiss…”

A low roar came from Xu Lingqing’s mouth. She bit the tip of her tongue to prevent herself from fainting.

But at this moment, she was already like a blood person standing on the spot, looking extremely terrifying.

“Hold on, I am Xu Lingqing!”
