"This fellow Ru Xin really is getting more and more beautiful!"
Han Qiongzhi could not help but sigh. Even though she was not a meticulous person, she could sense the wondrous tacit understanding between the two of them, which made her feel rather jealous. However, Ru Xin was extremely calm. She instead refused to lose her temper, which made her seem petty.
Li Qingshan gazed at the glass bottle in his hand. Although he had never said a single sweet word to this female friend of his, and they had spent most of the time cursing each other, their relationship was extraordinarily deep. As long as she said a single word, he would be willing to go through fire and water for her.
He was originally a man who loved fine alcohol and beautiful women, a man who did not hide his desires. However, when he was with a beauty like her, he rarely felt any lust. He could not help but be described as an anomaly.
Han Qiongzhi said, "What, are you still reluctant to part with me?"
"Forever. What's there to be reluctant about?" Li Qingshan stowed the medicine away carefully and stood up. He laughed aloud. "Just now, you dare to look down on your husband. I'll let you taste your husband's power today!" He carried Han Qiongzhi and made his way into the bamboo loft.
However, Han Qiongzhi broke free from his embrace. "I don't want to. You can deal with it yourself with the techniques of the school of Novels!"
Li Qingshan pushed her onto the bamboo floor and smiled. "That's not up to you!"
Han Qiongzhi looked at him and said, "You better try out the effects of the medicine quickly! I still have missions from the Hawkwolf Guard to complete! "
Li Qingshan was taken aback. Ever since he obtained the medicine, he had been eager to try it out. He wanted to see whether he could break through the final barrier and reach Daemon Commander. This desire was so intense that it definitely surpassed all other desires. However, Han Qiongzhi had come all the way here to see him, so he could not just leave her here. He had to get along with her properly, but he never thought she would actually see through him.
"Just do what you need to do. Do you think I'll be happy just because you've been perfunctory with me? When doing that kind of thing, being half-hearted is the most annoying. Forever and ever. There's no need to rush. Cultivation is more important! "
Han Qiongzhi thought to herself, I may not be able to help you much, but I will never be an obstacle in your path of cultivation.
"Thank you!"
Li Qingshan held her face and kissed her deeply. Then, he smiled and said, "I'll spare your life today. Next time, I'll make you beg for mercy!"
Han Qiongzhi blushed and said, "Don't even think about it!" Her voice turned gentle, "After you finish your cultivation, don't forget to look for me, or else I …"
He watched as Han Qiongzhi disappeared into the horizon. Li Qingshan returned to Qing Xiao's cave, took out the bottle of light red liquid, and stared at it for a while. He felt a little strange.
"Since the legendary Flower of Water and Fire doesn't exist, where did this potion come from?"
Even though Zhang Xuan did not know much about alchemy, regardless of whether it was a pill or a potion, it was not like water without a source or a tree without roots. It was necessary to fuse the medicinal properties of some medicinal herbs together.
No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't come to a conclusion. I'll just ask her the next time I see her.
Li Qingshan opened the bottle and drank it all in one gulp. The taste was vaguely familiar, but before he could taste it carefully, the light red liquid spread throughout his body. After a slight refinement, it immediately turned into a strange medicinal property.
Trying to absorb it into the daemon core, Li Qingshan's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of joy. He held his breath, and all the muscles in his body tensed up.
It really worked!
He saw that the conflict between the two powers that were originally like fire and water, the spirit turtle and phoenix that could not fuse with each other, gradually eased up. Although it was still far from fusion, to him, all that was missing was this final step. That thin membrane was finally pierced through.
As if a small gap had appeared in the cloudy sky, a dazzling ray of light descended from the sky, passing through Li Qingshan's head.
In that moment, the arduous comprehensions he had comprehended over the past year all surged through his head. The problem that had troubled him for so long had been resolved. Li Qingshan riled up with vigor. He closed his eyes and began a new round of cultivation.
Time passed by quickly. When the ice river thawed and the earth returned to spring, deep in the endless earth, amidst the rolling magma, the mirror avatar suddenly turned into a pool of flowing water and evaporated into a cloud of mist in the blazing magma.
This also meant that Li Qingshan needed to focus all of his attention on breaking through. In the Qing Xiao dwelling, he opened his eyes. He was rather exhausted, but most of it was relief and joy. He said quietly, "It's time!"
The Spirit Turtle's Method of Sea Suppression and the Phoenix's Scripture of Nirvāṇa began circulating at the same time.
The two of them could be described as the foundations of the daemon core. Originally, if Li Qingshan wanted to practise either one, he would have to suppress the other. Only Now could he do it. This was the first time he had circulated both of them at the same time, so it would definitely lead to the most intense conflict between the two powers.
The daemon core revolved, shining with azure and scarlet light at the same time. The azure light was vast and vast, containing a sense of peace and tranquility. Although the scarlet light was much smaller, it was endless, as if it would never be extinguished.
Sure enough, the two powers collided violently. The two lights became even more dazzling. They were both so pure that they could not tolerate any other power, let alone the fact that they were polar opposites.
The spirit turtle wanted to suppress the phoenix to the very depths of the ocean instinctively and extinguish the final sliver of its flames. However, the phoenix refused to back down either. It burned fiercely, as if it wanted to boil the ocean dry and burn the spirit turtle to death.
Li Qingshan controlled the two powers carefully. He could not let the spirit turtle defeat the phoenix in a single blow, nor could he let the phoenix gain the upper hand. He did his best to balance the two powers so that it would be difficult to determine who was stronger for a moment.
In the intense clash, the two lights criss-crossed, gradually showing signs of merging. This was the result of a year of arduous cultivation, as well as thanks to Ru Xin's bottle of medicine, which saved him a tremendous amount of time.
Li Qingshan knew that this was the most critical moment. Success or failure depended on this. Suddenly, he released his suppression on the spirit turtle and pushed the first layer of the Phoenix's Scripture of Nirvāṇa to the limit.
There was a great rumble in Li Qingshan's head, causing it to ring. Two different colors filled his heart. Behind him, the phoenix's wings suddenly unfurled to the limit. It let out an extremely beautiful phoenix cry almost subconsciously.
The phoenix broke free from the spirit turtle's suppression and spread its wings. The spirit turtle seemed to recognise this power too, no longer suppressing it.
Li Qingshan returned to his senses and was overjoyed. He withdrew all of the light back into his daemon core. The two powers were no longer as distinct as before. Instead, they were both in each other, like a red and blue taiji ball that constantly revolved.
After going through numerous difficulties and obstacles, only now did he truly complete the first layer of the Phoenix's Scripture of Nirvāṇa. He possessed the right to use the phoenix's ability, but he had yet to fully comprehend what the phoenix's ability was.
His daemon qi almost lost control, surging out violently. If it were not for the suppression of the Eight Gates Formation of Golden Locks, it almost would have reached the clouds.
