Long Feiye was only one step away from succumbing to his inner demons.
He hugged Han Yunxi tightly from behind, wishing that he could embed this woman into his body. They might as well become one, and from now on, bear all the pain together.
He buried his head in Han Yunxi's shoulder, his lips and teeth pressed against her shoulder. He really wanted to bite her, but in the end, he couldn't bear to. In the end, it only turned into a kiss, a kiss that he couldn't bear to let go.
After going through a life and death situation, how could Han Yunxi not yearn for this embrace, yearn for the warmth of his lips and teeth. She was really, really tired. She was so tired that she couldn't care less about the qi and blood in her body flowing backwards. She just wanted to lie in Long Fei Ye's embrace and sleep.
Suddenly, a drop of something wet and warm dripped onto her neck. She casually touched it and saw that it was blood.
At this time, Han Yunxi finally regained her senses. She suddenly turned around and saw that Long Fei Ye's face was pale, and the corner of his mouth was covered in blood.
When the dual cultivation was interrupted, she would at most suffer from the backlash of the Nirvana Inner Art, but Long Fei Ye had to suffer from the backlash of the Lustbite Power.
Han Yunxi was scared out of her wits. Without hesitation, she pulled out Long Fei Ye's sword and placed it in his hand.
"Long Fei Ye, there's no time. Hurry!" She anxiously said.
Long Feiye forced himself to endure the raging blood qi in his body. He reached out a hand to gently wipe away the blood at the corner of her lips, just like how he'd always rub her bangs during their dual cultivation sessions. "Be careful," he said.
He still gave the Profound Frost Sword to Han Yunxi and used the scabbard himself. The two of them worked hard together. On one hand, they focused, stabilized their inner art, and on the other hand, controlled the qi and blood flowing backwards.
When the sharp edge of the Profound Frost Sword collided with the sturdy scabbard and produced a clear sound, the surrounding people finally regained their senses.
Gu's tense nerves immediately relaxed. He looked at Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi dancing with their swords and felt a powerful force swirling around them. His heart, which had been hanging in the air, could finally be at ease.
He knew that there was still time. Their dual cultivation would not be interrupted.
With his heart at ease, Gu finally felt tired. As he watched, his whole body suddenly leaned back and lay on the ground.
As he listened to the sounds of swords clashing from time to time, he recalled the smell of death from before. Gradually, he closed his eyes and fell asleep …
When Gu woke up, it was already noon the next day.
Han Yunxi was curled up in Long Fei Ye's arms, sleeping very quietly. And Long Fei Ye also seemed to have fallen asleep, his brows were filled with fatigue. Even though the two of them were in a sorry state, but snuggling up so quietly was better than any beautiful scene in the world.
When Gu saw Han Yunxi, he couldn't wait to rush over and hug her. But, this scene made him stop abruptly.
The distance between them was more than ten steps. He silently reached out his hand, wanting so much to caress her cheek and feel her existence. He wanted to hug her tightly in his arms, and also wanted to rub her bangs and tell her, "Poison Lass, we made it through. It's okay now."
But, he could only think about it. His hand stopped in mid-air for a while, and finally slowly fell down.
He laughed lightly, three parts self-deprecating, seven parts carefree. He inadvertently turned his head and met the astonished gaze of the Old Man Of Alchemy.
His gentle gaze immediately turned fierce, and he said fiercely, "Go and find some food. I want it hot!"
The Old Man Of Alchemy only felt that when Gu's gaze was gentle, it was especially familiar. Before he could take a good look, he was warned.
He seemed to want to ask something, but in the end, he didn't ask and silently turned to leave.
Although there were no external injuries, Gu's internal injuries were not light. In all his years, this was the first time he had encountered such a thrilling situation. It was really a narrow escape.
With his back facing Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye, he tried to calm his thoughts, sat cross-legged, and began to heal.
When the Old Man Of Alchemy returned, Han Yunxi and the other two had finished healing. They looked at him in unison, as if waiting for him.
The Old Man Of Alchemy saw Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye's dual cultivation last night. After seeing the power of the Lustbite, he could roughly guess what was going on. He knew that he was in big trouble, and his scalp was numb from being stared at by these three people. He really didn't dare to go closer.
It was fine that Long Fei Ye had such a terrifying power of the Lustbite, but he didn't expect that Han Yunxi actually had the power of the Phoenix. These two guys were not to be trifled with, they were not to be trifled with!
Although the Old Man Of Alchemy was afraid, he still sighed in his heart. He was very unwilling. If only he could take Han Yunxi as his disciple. With the power of the Phoenix, not only could she help him refine a lot of Medicinal Pills, she could also help him raise the Celestial Fire Qian Furnace!
The Old Man Of Alchemy took a few steps back. Just as he was about to hide, Long Fei Ye said Coldly, "Stop!"
The Old Man Of Alchemy said with a smile, "Everyone must be hungry. Old Man Of Alchemy will go and prepare food for all of you."
Whether he was really crazy or just pretending to be crazy, he couldn't fool Long Fei Ye.
As soon as he shot a sharp gaze over, the Old Man Of Alchemy didn't dare to move anymore.
"Come here, we have a few questions for you," Han Yunxi said.
The Old Man Of Alchemy didn't dare to get too close. He sat down cross-legged in the open space in front of them. Gu glanced at him, lowered his head, and didn't say a word.
"What's going on with the power of the Phoenix?" Han Yunxi asked seriously.
After she dual cultivated with Long Fei Ye, the blood in her body returned to normal. She could clearly feel a restless power behind her.
However, she was very unfamiliar with that power.
Originally, it would take three days and three nights to be reborn, but she took more than six hours. Now, she also didn't know what was going on with the power of the Phoenix in her body.
If the Old Man Of Alchemy hadn't mentioned it, they wouldn't have known that such a power existed in the world.
The Old Man Of Alchemy looked at Han Yunxi suspiciously. "You … You don't know that you have the power of the Phoenix?"
"What's going on? Are you going to tell us or not?" Han Yunxi was a little anxious.
The Old Man Of Alchemy approached. "Let the Old Man take your pulse first."
Han Yunxi stretched out her hand. The Old Man Of Alchemy took her pulse and was even more certain of his judgment last night.
He said, "The power of the Phoenix is an ancient martial art power. There are no secret martial arts manuals or cultivation methods. From the moment it appeared, it was sealed in the human body and passed down from generation to generation. However, not every generation can summon it. "
As soon as he said this, Han Yunxi and the others all understood.
It seemed that the phoenix birthmark of the Western Qin Royal Family was the symbol of the inheritance of the power of the Phoenix. It was just that no one knew about it.
It seemed that the power of the Phoenix was the same as the power of the Lustbite. They were ancient martial arts powers. The difference was that the power of the Phoenix was sealed in the human body. Only the person who received the inheritance had the chance to obtain it. On the other hand, the power of the Lustbite was clearly a cultivation method and cultivation method. It required enough inner strength and extremely high martial arts talent to be able to cultivate it.
"How do you know?" Long Fei Ye asked.
"Of course the Old Man knows! The power of the Phoenix is fire and can compete with the Heavenly Fire. If you can obtain the power of the Phoenix and the Heavenly Fire to refine pills together, you can succeed quickly. "
The Old Man Of Alchemy stroked his beard and said seriously, "Yesterday, if the power of the Phoenix hadn't suppressed the Heavenly Fire, you would have died without a doubt."
Han Yunxi didn't have time to care about the Heavenly Fire Qian Furnace. She asked seriously, "Then now I …"
She could feel that she had the power of the Phoenix, but she couldn't control it.
The Old Man Of Alchemy glanced at her. After a moment of silence, he actually gave her a thumbs up. "Girl, you're good! You used your life to fight against the heavens, and you're still safe and sound. The Old Man admires you! "
Gu, who had his head lowered, suddenly raised his head and looked over. This was the first time he had heard the old madman say the word "admire" in such a sincere manner.
He had thought that the old madman would always think that he was infallible and would never be convinced by others.
Seeing Gu look over, the Old Man Of Alchemy also looked over. Gu said angrily, "What are you dawdling for? Does the Poison girl have the power of the Phoenix now? "
"The Phoenix bathes in fire and is reborn. Three days and three nights, not only does it bear the pain of nirvana, it is also a necessary process to control the power of the Phoenix. You endured all the pain last night, but lost control of the power of the Phoenix. Now that the power of the Phoenix has been awakened, the Old Man doesn't know how to control it. You have to find someone else. "The Old Man Of Alchemy replied seriously.
Long Fei Ye didn't say anything. He pulled Han Yunxi's hand over and took her pulse again. He discovered that Han Yunxi's current situation was very similar to when he had the Lustbite power in his body.
He didn't ask the Old Man Of Alchemy again. Instead, he left the Medicine Requesting Cave and had Xu Donglin send a messenger hawk to Celestial Mountain to ask his master, Kenshin.
Long Fei Ye used an urgent secret letter. It would take at most seven days to get a reply from Medicine City to Celestial Mountain. However, Long Fei Ye only received a reply ten days later from Old Man Kenzō.
"Why are you so late?" Long Fei Ye asked.
"I heard that the snowstorms on Celestial Mountain have been extremely severe recently. Even the hawks couldn't pass through. I'm afraid they were delayed," Xu Donglin replied truthfully.
Hawks could indeed be delayed for a day or two when encountering a snowstorm, so Long Fei Ye didn't ask any more questions.
In the letter, Old Man Kenzō expressed his shock and also explained the Phoenix power. It wasn't much different from what Long Fei Ye had guessed.
The Phoenix power and the Lustbite power were extremely similar. It was just that the methods of inheritance and cultivation were different. The Lustbite power relied on hard work, and on the foundation of a strong inner force, it was cultivated step by step. The Phoenix power relied on inheritance, as long as one had an excellent physique and a strong enough inner force, once the Phoenix power was summoned, one could completely control it.
Although Han Yunxi had an excellent constitution, her internal energy wasn't strong enough. Thus, this could be considered a blessing in disguise.
If she had really endured for three days and three nights, she wouldn't have been able to endure the Phoenix power with her current level of internal energy. She would have also suffered a backlash. She used several hours to endure all the pain and forcibly suppressed the Phoenix power back into her body, escaping this calamity.
Now that the Phoenix power had been awakened, as long as Han Yunxi's internal energy became stronger and stronger, she could gradually control the Phoenix power like how he controlled the Lustbite power.
After Long Fei Ye finished reading the letter, his hanging heart finally settled down. He believed in Master Kenzō's words.
"So, when we succeed in dual cultivation, I can also control the Phoenix power?" Han Yunxi asked excitedly.
Long Fei Ye nodded and couldn't help but laugh. He thought that this trip wasn't a loss after all.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Poison girl, Qi Brother really won't dare to bully you in the future." Gu joked.
Before Han Yunxi could answer, Long Fei Ye looked at Gu with a penetrating gaze.
Han Yunxi suddenly remembered something. She quickly stood up and walked towards Old Man Yao Hut who was sitting at the side. She asked, "Old man, you said that the Phoenix power can help speed up the process of refining pills. Is this true? "
If it was true, they wouldn't have to stay in the Medicine Hut for so long. Perhaps they could return to the Three-Way Black Market early and spend the new year with Gu Beiyue …
