With the speed of a divine dominator, Zhang Tie flashed in the underground tunnel like a lightning bolt. In less than half a minute, Zhang Tie had entered the freezer from the hot karst cave.
The freezer was very large. For the sake of safety, Zhang Tie didn't stop at the edge of the freezer; instead, he flew all the way to the center of the freezer where the temperature was more constant. Closely after that, he suspended the section of glowing lotus root in the air using his ability as a divine dominator so as to accept the baptism of the chilly qi in the freezer.
As a knight, Zhang Tie had a great cold-resistance ability, not to mention that with the blessing of the fruit of redemption, Zhang Tie was much greater than that of common knights.
The temperature in the freezer had already been lowered to minus 100 degrees Celsius. A layer of icy mist appeared on the ground in the center of the freezer, which was slightly rolling and freezing. At this temperature, Zhang Tie only needed to release a thin layer of protective battle qi and he would not feel cold anymore.
Widely opening his eyes, Zhang Tie watched the section of fiery lotus root suspending in the air.
In the freezer, the section of the lotus root which was giving out a brilliant glow was gradually disappearing at a visible speed. Meanwhile, Zhang Tie could even feel that the cold air in the freezer was converging towards that section of the lotus root in a weird way.
It felt like throwing a piece of dry sponge into water. The water in the water would be absorbed by the sponge automatically. It was also like how the energy black hole in Zhang Tie's mind sea and qi sea was devouring the surrounding energy a few days ago. That was really marvelous.
Zhang Tie thought that even his master Zhao Yuan might not have seen such a scene.
As the chilly qi constantly converged towards that section of fiery lotus root, it gradually formed a swirl of icy mist and rotated around that section of fiery lotus root in a clockwise direction. The shape of the swirl of icy mist was very similar to that of Taiji. Zhang Tie was dumbfounded by this scene once again.
As time passed, the red light on the lotus root became fainter and fainter, and the golden lotus root became more and more conspicuous. The entire lotus root was as smooth as polished metal, without any trace of lava. It was clean and translucent.
After over 20 minutes, the glow on the section of the lotus root completely disappeared. Zhang Tie watched it with widely opened eyes. After about 7-8 minutes, the section of the golden lotus root became transparent while a layer of faint hoarfrost gradually formed over it. When the hoarfrost covered the entire section of the lotus root, Zhang Tie stretched out his hand and had the section of the lotus root fly into his hand.
After throwing the last glance at the lotus root, Zhang Tie directly bit it.
Zhang Tie thought that the lotus root would be very hard; unexpectedly, it was very soft, even a bit crisp. After biting it, Zhang Tie's mouth was filled with an icy, soft and fragrant taste. However, before Zhang Tie savored the taste, the fragrance had turned into liquid and entered Zhang Tie's stomach through his throat.
Zhang Tie felt warm and comfortable in his stomach. Meanwhile, a bizarre energy spread over his body like how he felt when he ate leakless fruits. The greater part of the energy finally converged in his qi sea and was absorbed by the hot sun in the form of battle qi in his qi sea. The rest part of the energy entered his bones, meridians, muscles, blood and guts all over.
In this process, Zhang Tie felt like soaking in a sauna pool, which was very comfortable without any discomfort at all.
It took Zhang Tie less than 5 minutes to finish eating this section of lotus root. After that, Zhang Tie licked his lips and savored it for a short while. He felt that his qi sea and body had indeed changed a bit. However, Zhang Tie didn't know whether it was because he had cultivated King Roc Sutra and his body was too strong. Zhang Tie felt that the change was too small. Additionally, the fiery lotus root didn't seem to be able to relieve hunger as the entire section of the lotus root had turned into a mysterious energy. After eating that section of the fiery lotus root, Zhang Tie didn't feel full at all.
Closely after that, Zhang Tie flashed and rushed into the karst cave. In the blink of an eye, he came back with another section of lotus root which was giving out brilliant glow. This time, it was much larger than that of the first one.
When Zhang Tie waited for that section of lotus root to cool down, he sat on the ground with crossed legs and ran his battle qi to completely digest and absorb the energy of that section of lotus root.
About half an hour later, the "quick-frozen lotus root" covered with a layer of hoarfrost had been taken out of the oven. Only after a short while, Zhang Tie had gobbled it up. After that, Zhang Tie rushed towards the karst cave.
Later on, Zhang Tie was so excited that he kept traveling back and forth between the karst cave and the freezer. As he waited for the new fiery lotus root to eat, he absorbed the energy of the previous fiery lotus root. He basically kept the speed of eating and digesting a fiery lotus root in about 40 minutes. He even forgot about the time.
…
There was no sun or moon in the karst cave. After a while, when Zhang Tie hurriedly took out a section of lotus root from the karst cave and flew towards the freezer, he suddenly threw a glance at his hand. Closely after that, he quivered all over and became still in the air.
At this moment, the section of lotus root in his hand was still giving out brilliant glow and extremely high temperature like a steel mold which had just been poured out of the steelmaking furnace. However, Zhang Tie didn't realize that he had already forgotten to set a protective battle qi on his hand. He just tightly held that section of lotus root and flew towards the freezer without feeling anything.
Not until Zhang Tie moved his eyes onto his hand did he feel that the lotus root was a bit hot; however, it was not too hot. It was still within his acceptable range.
Zhang Tie loosened his hand, letting the section of lotus root float in the air. After that, he looked at his hand and found that the skin on his palm was not burned, not even a blister. However, his palm was a bit red like when he ran from the kitchen to the dining table with a bowl of soup when he was young. Additionally, his hand remained unchanged. It didn't turn into a terrifying monster's claw; nor did it grow any extra cuticle or skin. Even the fine hairs on his hand remained as same as before.
Zhang Tie held the section of lotus root by another hand and felt the same. His hand was not burned either; instead, it just felt a bit "hot".
The fiery lotus root had already changed his physique and ability to bear high temperature and flames unconsciously.
…
After about 40 minutes, Zhang Tie came to the bank of the magma lake in the karst cave after eating that section of lotus root. Squatting on the bank of the lake, Zhang Tie directly inserted his left hand into the magma without releasing his protective battle qi. Closely after that, he touched his forehead with his right hand.
His right hand felt warm. Zhang Tie didn't feel cold or uncomfortable. His body temperature was as normal as before, which was 35.5 degrees Celsius.
His left hand stirred the magma like how he stirred warm water before. He didn't feel uncomfortable at all; instead, the magma seemed to have become mild. Meanwhile, Zhang Tie knew that the temperature of the magma in his hand was 968 degrees Celsius.
When his hand was in the high temperature of the magma, a bizarre energy appeared to be activated in a split second in all the cells of his hand. After that, his hand could adapt to the high temperature. After pulling his hand out of the magma, the bizarre energy level in the cells of his hand gradually recovered to normal.
Additionally, the special energy brought by the fiery lotus root was like mercury in a thermometer, which could adjust the energy level of each cell of his body when it sensed the change of external temperature so that his cells could bear it easily.
When the external temperature was high, the bizarre energy level in his cells would rise; when the external temperature was normal, the bizarre energy level in his cells would recover to normal.
'F * ck, it turns out that my body's ability to sense and bear temperature has reached an unimaginable level. It's like a myth!'
Watching his hands, Zhang Tie squatted at the lakeside for a short while. After that, he picked himself up. Meanwhile, he sensed that he could still digest a lot of fiery lotus roots. Therefore, he cut off another section of fiery lotus root from the lakeside and ran towards the freezer at a high speed with it …
