The absorption of the 50,000-year Nether Finch Soul Bone took quite some time, but as the Soul Bone with the highest age on Lin Xiao's body, the Soul Power improvement it brought to Lin Xiao was also extremely considerable.
Lin Xiao spent a long time refining it.
At this time, if Ning Fengzhi saw Lin Xiao's absorption process, he would definitely be shocked.
For no other reason than that Lin Xiao was actually using the three types of Fire Phoenix on his body to temper it while absorbing the 50,000-year Nether Finch right leg Soul Bone!
This was why Lin Xiao preferred to have a Soul Bone with the Phoenix Bloodline.
He could use his own three types of Phoenix Fire to purify the Phoenix Bloodline in the Soul Bone, and further improve the quality of the Soul Bone through tempering!
This was unheard of in the Soul Master World.
But for Lin Xiao, it was commonplace.
However, Lin Xiao could only temper the Soul Bone after absorbing it into his body, otherwise, even a 50,000-year Soul Bone could not withstand the ravages of the three terrifying Phoenix Fires.
Saying he was tempering the Soul Bone, he was actually tempering himself.
Only this time, Lin Xiao did not go to Ye Qingxian, but silently tempered himself, enduring the pain alone. He needed to ensure that his body did not forget this feeling.
After all, Aunt Ye was not always by his side.
Feng Yu darted out of Lin Xiao's body. Seeing Lin Xiao's "self-mutilating" behavior, she was not at all distressed, but full of pride.
As expected of the person she had taken a fancy to!
Seeing that Lin Xiao's progress was a bit slow, Feng Yu also thoughtfully came to Lin Xiao's right leg, opened her mouth, and fiercely added fuel to Lin Xiao with Phoenix Fire.
Lin Xiao's tightly furrowed brows, his face slightly distorted at this time, he opened his eyes, looked at Feng Yu who was burning the fire vigorously, and said with a rather affectionate (gritted teeth) expression:
"Good daughter, you are really my father's little padded jacket!"
Feng Yu did not speak, but burned even harder.
While absorbing and tempering the Soul Bone, Lin Xiao's own Soul Power was also rapidly increasing, from level 47 to level 48, then to level 49, and finally to level 49 and a half, only a step away from breaking through to the Soul King.
"Huff—"
Lin Xiao let out a long breath.
His legs trembled, his face was pale, and he was a little dehydrated due to excessive sweating, looking like he had been drained of his Essence Qi by someone practicing Yin replenishment.
The Soul Bone Skill obtained this time was called "Nine Nether Flame Hell", and its effect was very peculiar, because it was not a Soul Skill with strong lethality, but more inclined to tormenting the enemy.
The effect was similar to the "Life and Death Talisman", which could plant a Nether Fire seed in the enemy's body, causing them to fall into the torment of ice and Fire Phoenix, and also had an eroding effect on the spirit.
In general, it was a bit insidious; it didn't seem like a righteous skill, after all, its tormenting effect could really make people wish they were dead, causing mental breakdown.
"No, the gentle village is indeed a hero's tomb."
"Aunt Ye is good, but I can't be addicted."
Lin Xiao muttered to himself, determined that if conditions permitted, he would try to get through it himself first, and then find Ye Qingxian for treatment.
Just then, a snapping sound suddenly came from the door.
Ye Lingling was seen panicking and saying:
"Lin Xiao! You haven't done anything to betray me, have you?"
She arrived at the perfect moment, only hearing the phrase "Aunt Ye is good, but one can't be addicted," especially when paired with Lin Xiao's overworked and energy-depleted appearance.
Ye Lingling's small brain began to conjure up vivid scenarios.
Lin Xiao: "..."
He said in annoyance:
"Aunt Ye isn't here, so you'll do!"
"Lingling-jie, it's your time to shine!"
Ye Lingling's expression changed drastically, feeling that this was truly against moral principles, and she resolutely refused:
"Lin Xiao, you're going too far!"
"One can't be too greedy!"
Lin Xiao retorted angrily:
"Help me heal! I can't even stand properly!"
"Oh, oh."
Ye Lingling stuck out her tongue and trotted forward.
Clearly, Lingling-jie knew exactly what was going on in her heart, and was deliberately teasing Lin Xiao, but seeing that he really was "beyond teasing," she became serious.
Ye Lingling released her Nine Hearted Begonia, and a rain of pinkish-white light enveloped Lin Xiao.
She asked strangely:
"Lin Xiao, did you torture yourself again?"
"Why didn't you wait for my mom this time?"
Lin Xiao sighed, "Aunt Ye can't possibly stay by my side all the time."
"I'm adapting in advance."
Ye Lingling leaned closer, her face very close to Lin Xiao's, and he could smell the elegant orchid fragrance on her body, and see the reflection of the fine hairs on her face in the sunlight.
"Lin Xiao, what about me? Can't I always be by your side?"
Lin Xiao said lazily:
"Lingling-jie, are you taking over?"
"Are you up to it?"
Ye Lingling didn't speak, but let out a soft hum through her nose, put Lin Xiao's head on her lap, and rubbed his head.
After a while, she said somewhat unconvinced:
"It's only a matter of time..."
Obviously, Ye Lingling had been preparing all along, preparing to replace Ye Qingxian's job at any moment.
He can be replaced!
Lin Xiao, enjoying the lap pillow, said thoughtfully:
"However, I think it's almost time."
Ye Lingling's healing ability is certainly not as strong as Ye Qingxian's, but looking at the continent, only Ye Qingxian can surpass her.
Except for the special case of Nirvana, Ye Lingling is more than capable.
Perhaps, it's time to let Ling Ling take on some responsibilities earlier?
Responsibility brings pressure, but also motivation.
Lin Xiao can't always stand in front of Ling Ling, and Ling Ling probably doesn't like it either.
...
The moonlight is soft as water.
Lin Xiao heard the movement in the courtyard and turned over to get out of bed.
Sure enough, he saw the girl tiptoeing over.
Shui Binger's blue hair still had some moisture, obviously she had just taken a bath not long ago. Her face was a little pink, and she said softly:
"Lin Xiao Gege, it's time to cultivate."
Coupled with the girl's shyness, but also her obvious and generous initiative, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
It seemed that what he heard was not 'it's time to cultivate', but 'it's time to rest'.
Lin Xiao patted his face.
He suspected that his current age might be the onset of puberty.
"If the heart is as clear as ice, the sky will not fall in alarm."
Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, Lin Xiao nodded and went to the Room with Shui Binger. After taking off his shoes and socks, they faced each other to cultivate.
The two's Soul Power merged, and after the Yin Energy and Solar Fire Energy were eliminated, they turned into the purest Essence Qi, nourishing each other's bodies and improving their Soul Power.
Crack~
It was as if an eggshell was breaking.
Lin Xiao slowly opened his eyes.
He was level 50.
But he did not stop cultivating, but continued to cultivate the Yin Yang Phoenix Nirvana Profound Chapter with Shui Binger. The route was constantly being improved and gradually became perfect.
...
On the other side, in the Room of two girls.
Dugu Yan whispered:
"Ling Ling, Shui Binger went to Lin Xiao's Room again."
"This is the third time."
This was the third time they had discovered it.
However, the two girls had always pretended not to know.
There's one more chapter, it will be a little later.
