Chapter 234: A fierce competition! Swallowing the crystal flame, the strength surges
(PS: Last month's monthly ticket extra chapter is here~ Well, I did what I said, and I will make up for it this week!)
After all, he is a legend. Even if he reached the ninth realm by special means, it is still the ninth realm!
Hai Dongpo quickly realized that Lin Fan wanted to get something for nothing.
What made him most depressed was that when he looked at Lin Fan, he found that he was looking expectant, even a little 'cute' and 'well-behaved', staring at him.
Just like this——(*▽*).
"!!!"
You're making it very difficult for me, an old man, to handle this!
He lowered his eyes, forcing himself not to look at Lin Fan's face, and said faintly: "What you said does not seem to be wrong, but the Crystal Flame is ranked first on the Different Flame List, so its value naturally needs no further discussion."
"You want to take it from my Hai family without paying anything, just a promise or an oath. It's a bit too much."
“Eh…eh?!?!”
Xiao Qi was surprised: "What, you didn't pay anything?"
She was a little confused.
Isn’t it true that after saying so much, it takes a lot to pay?
Hai Danping held her forehead with her hand, pulled Xiao Qi behind her, and said in a voice transmission: "You... you should not think about such complicated questions, just listen."
"Forehead!"
Xiao Qi scratched his head, but he wasn't angry.
She stuck out her tongue, covered her mouth and said nothing.
Hai Dongpo didn't even look at him. He seemed to be talking to Lin Fan, but he was staring at Xiao Ling'er. Obviously, he was waiting for Xiao Ling'er to express her opinion.
"Of course not!"
Xiao Linger spoke. She already knew what Lin Fan was thinking, and was having a heated discussion with Medicine Grandma in her sea of consciousness.
Shocked by Lin Fan's "sassy operation"!
As a master and disciple, I have always wondered how I can get the crystal flame from the Hai family, but no matter how I think about it, it seems unlikely.
As a result, Lin Fan's trick almost succeeded in getting something for nothing~!
In other words, they thought Lin Fan was a reborn person and knew the information.
Otherwise, they would never believe it.
Who could be so bold and careful, and be so audacious while trying to obtain information?
He actually wants to get something for nothing!
However, Xiao Linger, who knew Lin Fan's operations and understood Hai Dongpo's thoughts at the moment, could naturally give assists without worrying about saying anything wrong.
"It is never a good thing to say that we, the master and the disciple, would never do that."
"Before coming here, I have already prepared many elixirs needed for the sixth, seventh, and eighth realms, and they are all above the seventh grade. I think even for the Hai family, such high-quality elixirs are quite scarce, right?"
It’s more than just scarce!
Hai Danping's heart skipped a beat and she almost blurted out the answer.
Xiao Ling'er waved her hand, and more than ten jade bottles appeared on the table. She said, "Most of these are the elixirs needed for cultivation. There are seven, eight, and nine grades!"
"These are healing pills. The most precious one is the ninth-grade rejuvenation pill."
"These are realm-breaking elixirs that can help you break through the realm..."
“Although there is no ninth-level elixir, nor any elixir that can help the peak masters of the eighth realm break through, as long as we can obtain the crystal flame, these will not be far away!”
“Just give me the crystal flame, and these will be given to the Hai family.”
"After that, as long as the Hai family collects the required medicinal materials, I will help them refine pills and only charge the most basic fees."
"how?"
Hai Danping's heart beat fast when she heard this.
If this kind of high-quality medicine is supplied without limit, after a period of time, the Hai family...hiss!
Suddenly, she realized, "The elixirs in the Liu family's shop were made by you?"
Since she was being trained as a successor, she would naturally understand these "trivia".
In addition, the relationship between the Liu family and the Lanyue Sect is not a secret, so it is natural to think of this.
"yes."
Xiao Ling'er did not hide it: "The pills they sell are of medium to low quality that I refine."
Upon hearing this, Hai Danping couldn't help but look at Xiao Ling'er deeply, and then held her breath.
Hai Dongpo was naturally aware of the importance of these pills and the benefits this promise could bring to the Hai family, but he discovered another problem and rolled his eyes and said, "It sounds pretty good."
"But I found that this seemed to be part of getting something for nothing."
"Promise..."
Xiao Linger said calmly: "Junior can make a Dao Heart Oath."
"That's all."
Hai Dongpo waved his hand.
"In this case, we both make an agreement and swear a daoist vow."
"Old man..."
"I really want to see if you can do it!"
“This is undoubtedly the right choice.”
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Then, let's discuss it?"
“···”
Then the two sides began to negotiate.
This transaction is divided into two parts.
First of all, Xiao Ling'er just took out these pills, totaling more than 300 pieces, and gave them all to the Hai family.
Secondly, Xiao Ling'er promised that after obtaining the crystal flame, she would refine high-quality pills for the Hai family at a "basic fee". At the same time, when she had the ability, she must refine the ninth-level and eighth-level peak-level Mirror-Breaking Pills for the Hai family as soon as possible until at least one ninth-level person appeared in the Hai family.
At the same time, if the Hai family encounters a crisis within the next thousand years, Xiao Ling'er and Lin Fan must not stand idly by.
This is the first part.
It's completely a transaction.
The second part is related to Lin Fan, and it is also a transaction, but the transaction items are not so "clear".
First, the two sides exchanged their imperial scriptures, one for one~
Secondly, the secret method of inheritance will also be included and given to Lin Fan. If Lin Fan can eliminate its flaws and solve the sequelae within the promised five years, then the Hai family will owe Lin Fan a "great favor of protecting the family"!
This favor is enough for the Hai family to fight to the death to protect each other!
As long as Lin Fan opens his mouth, no matter what the situation of the Hai family is at that time, how many masters they have, or even if the Hai family is facing a war and cannot protect themselves, the Hai family will go all out!
The transaction conditions are extremely harsh.
But Ebi agreed.
Hai Danping had no objection. As for Xiaoqi...she could only watch. These things were beyond her ability to handle or even understand.
"You need to swear a vow to not reveal anything about what happened in the secret room today." Hai Danping even warned.
Xiao Qi nodded.
Although she had little knowledge and was a little confused, she still understood this matter.
He nodded in agreement and swore an oath.
After making a Daoist oath, Hai Dongpo removed the restrictions and barriers he had set up before, and said with a smile: "Although I can make the decision on this matter, I also have to take care of the feelings of the younger generation."
"You two, master and disciple, please wait here for a while. I will go and discuss this with them."
"Of course, please go ahead, Mr. Ebi."
Lin Fan responded with a smile.
Soon, only Master Lin Fan and his disciple were left in the secret room.
"It's done!"
Xiao Ling'er waved her little fists, unable to hide her excitement. Since there were no outsiders around, she didn't need to hide anything, let alone care about her image: "Thank you, Master!"
"I can only say that it's half done. Don't be too happy too soon."
Lin Fan responded like this.
Xiao Ling'er was shocked: "Old Hai has already made a vow, could he go back on his word?"
There was one more thing she didn't say.
That is... I always feel that Hai Dongpo and Hai Bodong are the same. I always think that Hai Dongpo should be trustworthy and can even die for me!
It's just that this feels so weird.
She was really embarrassed to say it.
"Old Hai is not the type to go back on his word. Since he is the one who came forward, and we have shown enough sincerity, I think the current leaders of the Hai family will not refuse."
"After all, over the years, perhaps, what we have provided is the method that is closest to success. Of course, the most important thing is you and Liang Danxia!"
"Dan Emperor, tsk tsk."
Medicine Grandma transmitted the message and said with a wry smile: "Daoyou, please don't make fun of me."
"At first I was really satisfied with this title, even a little complacent, but after the incident I realized that everything external was false and ultimately just a passing cloud."
"I'm not kidding, I'm really surprised."
Lin Fan emphasized: "In short, I am not worried about the resistance from the Hai family, but... I always feel that it is not that simple!"
······
Lin Fan's worries are not without reason.
Hai Dongpo took Hai Danping to talk about this matter with Hai Tianren, Hai Shaofeng and others. Their eyes all lit up and they thought it was feasible.
Upon learning that the ancestor had made a Taoist vow, they all praised Hai Dongpo for his wisdom.
"We can't find any problem with Hai Lao's decision!"
"We have tried everything over the years, but to no avail. Perhaps it is because we are too conservative. It is good to be a little radical occasionally."
"Besides, Xiao Ling'er is the heir of the Dan Emperor?!"
"In fact, I also think this is the best outcome. By handing over the Crystal Flame, my Hai family will be less in danger! And with those high-quality pills, it doesn't matter even if Lin Fan can't improve our clan's secret method."
"As long as we can hold on for a while, I don't believe that with our tribe's human, material and financial resources, plus Xiao Ling'er's alchemy skills to assist, we won't be able to produce even one ninth-level cultivator!"
"That's right. If we still can't produce even one person at the ninth level, then we can't blame others. We can only say that the talents and opportunities of us, the unworthy descendants, are too poor."
"The younger generation lacks the strength to take over. Our clan is in crisis, so I can't blame anyone else."
"As for the crisis that happens once every ten thousand years, hasn't our clan survived it many times in the past? But Hai Lao is likely to face a crisis..."
"No problem."
Hai Lao waved his hand and said, "I have experienced this many times, so why not once more?"
"There's just one more thing."
"Lin Fan and the others requested that the fact that Xiao Ling'er obtained the Crystal Flame should not be exposed, at least for a short period of time."
"Forehead···"
Everyone in the Hai family was stunned, then nodded with a wry smile.
This request was unexpected, but also within expectations.
排名第一的异火自然是好东西，但同时，也是个烫手山芋。
留在海家，尚且会增添一两分风险，落在萧灵儿手中···
那自然更危险了！
尤其是，若其丹帝传人的身份暴露···
嘿！
萧灵儿必将万劫不复。
不知有多少人、多少大势力会不惜代价将萧灵儿镇压，带回去，当做工具人使呢~！
“所以，此事需要保密！”
海老强调。
“如今，我们已然踏上同一条船，理应如此。”海少锋第一个表态。
绝不是因为什么丹药不丹药。
“不错。”
其他海家长老也是纷纷开口，表示赞同。
海老见状，不由微微一笑，点头：“如此，我便放心了。”
“那我这便带他们前往禁地。”
“至于能否成功···”
“便看他们的造化了。”
“也看我族，是否有此机缘。”
“···”
······
“两位，随我来吧，老祖已准备好，带你们前往收服水晶焰。”
海丹萍再现密室。
“好！”
林凡二人起身，跟在其身后前往。
不久后，海家禁地深处。
海老指着前方平平无奇的水潭道：“水晶焰就在其中。”
“但有些事，却需要提前告知。”
“其一，水晶焰早已诞生灵智，且天生傲骨，极难驯服，想要让它臣服，其难度，不亚于击败一尊第九境。”
“且旁人帮不上忙，唯有你亲自将其镇压，它才会臣服。”
“其二，在将它镇压之前，你得先寻到它。”
“？！”
林凡两人一愣。
第一条，很容易理解。
很多凶兽、乃至人不都是如此么？
仰慕强者、臣服强者。
你特么都不如我强，我会臣服你？
但这第二条，却很有意思。
先找到它？！
不等两人询问，海老自顾自道：“无需多问，进去你们便知道了。不过你身负多种异火，相对而言，难度倒是会降低不少，但···恕我直言，我依旧看不到多少成功率。”
“不过你们也莫要太过担心。”
他递来一块玉牌，不过寸许长，但却极为精致。
“若是遇到危险、不敌之时，可捏碎玉牌，我会立刻前往相助，至少，可保你们平安。”
林凡与萧灵儿对视一眼，接过玉牌，随即，纵身一跃，跳入水潭。
哗啦！
水花溅起。
但只是跳入水面的瞬间，两人便感觉天旋地转，随即，便是‘乾坤倒转’。
似乎进入了一个镜像世界一般。
啵···
一声轻响。
两人脚踏实地，只是一眼，皆变了脸色。
“这是···一方小世界？”
“难怪之前没看出任何端倪，那水潭一眼看去也是平平无奇，原来竟是如此！”林凡打量着四周。
萧灵儿也在举目远眺。
甚至连药姥都现身了，飘到空中打量着周遭情况。
这是一个水晶世界！
入目所及，一切都是水晶。
没有植被。
没有水流。
唯有无穷无尽的水晶，一眼看不到尽头。
同时，其内遍布‘水晶焰’。
既身为水晶，却又‘长’成火焰模样的存在。
甚至还在‘跳动’。
数量之多，根本数不过来。
就是用神识去探查，一时间也难以数清。
天穹之上，一颗‘水晶太阳’高悬，洒落璀璨光辉。
而当这太阳光落在诸多‘水晶焰’上，折射出密密麻麻的彩色光芒，绚烂且夺目、美丽异常，让人目不暇接。
“原来如此。”
药姥落下，低语道：“难怪海东坡会说首先得寻到水晶焰。”
“若是我没猜错，水晶焰太强，诞生灵智已然很久了，且它自己，为自己塑造了这样一个‘小世界’。”
“这是它最喜欢的环境，但却也为我们造成了诸多困扰。”
“如这‘密密麻麻’的水晶焰，看似都是真的，但实则，真正的水晶焰只有一个，我们几乎无法分辨谁是真、谁是假。”
“若是无法找出真正的水晶焰。”林凡接过话题：“又何谈镇压、收服？”
砰！
他出手，全力一击，随意轰击在一个‘水晶焰’之上，但却没有任何反应。
那水晶太坚固了。
他甚至都没办法打掉一丁点碎屑。
用巴雷特或许能办到，但太费时费力！
这样一个小世界，满满当当都是‘水晶焰’，用这种办法来找，得找到猴年马月去，找到之后再收服，黄花菜都凉了。
“可有办法？”
林凡看向药姥。
后者点头，随即自信微笑：“若是换了旁人，定然没有法子。”
“但，灵儿不同。”
“她身负五种异火，而异火之间，可以彼此吞噬、成长。”
“水晶焰太强了，但它必然想要变得更强，因此···”
“咱们只需以异火为引，它自会现身。”
“但，此举格外凶险！”
药姥面色逐渐严肃，没有外人，且林凡作为‘重生者’，她也没想着瞒，而后道：“焚炎诀虽然特殊，但要将异火炼化的前提，却也是将其压制。”
“若是连压制都办不到，又谈何炼化？”
“按照海东坡所言，水晶焰在这一方世界之中的战力，已不弱于第九境了，纵然有异火相助，也是极为凶险。”
“灵儿···”
“老师不必担心。”
萧灵儿却是微微一笑，道：“这种事，学生已经历四次了。”
“水晶焰的确前所未有，也必然极其凶险，但学生已有准备，且学生无惧！”
见他们两人聊上了，林凡没吭声。
主要是他不好说。
凶险是必然的，但···这不是正常过剧情吗？
所以，他没有多慌。
属于炎帝的专属副本，难道还能把炎帝给嘎了不成？
但这话他也不能说，一旦说出来，怕是反而容易出现意外。
而萧灵儿的话语，让药姥格外感动，随即，又是一番叮嘱：“疗伤、压制异火以及爆发类、特殊类丹药可准备好了？”
“老师，您呀，是关心则乱。”
萧灵儿拍着胸口道：“弟子有多少丹药，老师您不是心知肚明么？”
“自然是准备妥当了。”
药姥：“···”
她暗暗叹息。
关心则乱？
自己能不关心嘛！
好不容易找到你这样一位人品绝佳的弟子，若是出了意外，自己哭都来不及。
何况，事关我能否成功复活···
但此刻，她也没有多言，点点头，重新融入萧灵儿胸口的吊坠之中。
林凡也随之退出一段距离，等待萧灵儿发挥。
“···”
“我开始了。”
萧灵儿低语，随即调整状态。
接着，屈指一弹。
五种异火接连浮现，分别在其右手五指指尖燃烧、跳跃。
“呼~”
她红唇微微嘟起，轻轻一吹。
轰！
五种异火尽皆迎风暴涨。
只是眨眼间而已，竟已化作五根‘通天火柱’，连接天上地下并熊熊燃烧。
惊人的温度蔓延开来···
但在高温扩散的同时，却又有一股子宛若源自灵魂深处的寒意在向周遭弥漫。
冷热共存！
“再来。”
她轻语。
右手握拳。
轰隆！
宛若惊雷炸响，五道通天火柱竟然在此刻交融，宛若融为一体！
剧烈爆炸之余，彩色火球宛若烈日横空！
惊人的力量在酝酿。
火焰之力更是在此刻到达绝巅。
林凡静静看着、看着。
这手段，他本尊也能办到，甚至更强一些。
但稻草人，却是办不到的。
“那么。”
“水晶焰，你藏在哪儿呢？”
他收回目光，开始全身心关注水晶焰的存在。
与此同时，萧灵儿识海之中，药姥也是不敢有丝毫大意，将神识探出、运转到极限，不愿放过任何细节。
突然！
整个小世界震动。
“嗯？！”
林凡色变。
随即，他便瞧见那些‘水晶焰’一个接一个‘亮起’，一股子霸道之意迅速靠近。
“这？！”
林凡突然明悟：“这些‘水晶焰’，都不是真货！”
“亦或者说，所有‘水晶焰’，都是真货！”
“因为···”
“整个小世界，都是水晶焰！”
它···竟身化一个小世界！
这一刻，不但林凡明悟，萧灵儿与药姥也是明白了这一点，无不为之色变。
“灵儿，动手！”
药姥低喝。
“仙火九变，第五变！”
轰！
瞬开第五变，萧灵儿修为暴涨，同时直接嗑药进一步爆发，避火丹也已吞入腹中，舌下还含着一枚九品回春丹。
刚做完这一切。
水晶焰便突然‘现身’！
那是一朵虚幻的‘水晶花’。
娇艳、美丽，却又好似无比脆弱，给人一种一碰就碎之感。
可它仅仅只是一个现身而已，便落在‘萧灵儿’头顶，随即，垂落诸多水晶‘丝线’。
如同根茎！
它竟是将萧灵儿与五种异火当做养料，探出根茎，要将其尽皆吸收、吞噬。
呼啦啦！
覆在萧灵儿体表，充当异火铠甲的五种异火瞬间开始摇曳、明灭不定，甚至，还开始‘一丝丝’剥离，被其根茎吸收。
不仅如此。
那根茎宛若神鞭、又如同仙矛。
将萧灵儿死死缠绕的同时，从各个角度刺向萧灵儿，像是要将其洞穿，在其体内扎根！
萧灵儿微微色变。
但却并未第一时间反击，她在仔细感受，感受着水晶焰的强度，感受着异火铠甲剥落的速度···
“不愧是可比第九境的存在，哪怕是我有五种异火加持，拥有‘大优势’，都被压制么？”
“不过，想要将我与异火一同吞噬、炼化？”
“巧了。”
“我也要正欲如此啊！”
正愁找不到你。
但此刻，你却自己上门了！
正愁实力不足，没办法将你吞噬，并以自己的肉身为封印，加上异火辅助，再施展焚炎诀将你炼化，你却要反过来吞噬我？
还想将‘根须’刺入我体内，汲取‘养分’？
也好。
虽然与计划有些区别，但却更加直接，或许，效果也会更好。
既如此，还有什么好犹豫的呢？
左右不过是更凶险一些罢了。
“···”
萧灵儿看向林凡，随即甜甜一笑。
而后，她竟然主动撤去一切防御！
异火铠甲瞬间消散，水晶焰明显有那么一瞬间愣神，但很快它便反应过来，那如根茎一般的火焰‘仙矛’猛然刺入萧灵儿体内！
合共九根！
尽皆刺入体内，深入肺腑！
其中一根，甚至刺破了丹田。
同时，九根‘仙矛’同时发威，开始疯狂汲取萧灵儿的一切。
血肉、元气、异火、精气神···
它要将萧灵儿连带人异火一同吞噬，壮大己身！
“！”
林凡头皮一麻。
好在是稳住了。
“她应当不至于自己主动送人头才是。”
他如此安慰自己。
也就是此刻。
萧灵儿露出一抹狞笑。
那漂亮的脸蛋儿之上此刻满是凶狠，甚至带着狰狞之色：“真疼啊。”
她低语，随后，操控所有异火暂且融入不灭吞炎之中，将不灭吞炎的特性发挥到极致！
“但现在，该我了！”
嗡！
异火铠甲再现！
但这一次，却并非为了防御，而是‘封锁’。
异火铠甲之上，甚至长出许多‘异火小手’，将那些‘仙矛’死死抓住。
同时，萧灵儿双手亦是弥漫着不灭吞炎，并死死抓住其中两根‘仙矛’：“不灭吞炎！！！”
她低喝一声，全力催动不灭吞炎：“给我···”
“吞！！！”
嗡！
不灭吞炎开始蔓延。
虽然有另外四种异火加持，但它们终究早就被炼化，且萧灵儿的修为不算太高，因此，哪怕五合一，也并非水晶焰的对手。
但好在不灭吞炎的特性非常逆天。
可吞噬一切，却又几乎‘不灭’。
因此，在近距离接触之下···
水晶焰的确在不断吞噬萧灵儿的一切，但同时，不灭吞炎也开始逐渐蔓延，燃烧并吞噬水晶焰！
这就形成了一个极为奇特的局面。
若是将水晶焰所凝结而出的‘根茎’当做‘水管’来看。
便是水管内部，在疯狂汲取萧灵儿的一切。
但是水管外部，却逐渐被不灭吞炎的紫黑色火焰所弥漫，并逐渐‘融化’，而后被不灭吞炎缓缓吞噬。
你吞我、我吞你！
从内部吸过去，从外部还回来~！
竟然达成了一个诡异的平衡！
林凡：“！！！”
“好家伙。”
“原来打的是这个主意，不得不说，这个法子，的确是最为‘方便’，但前提是，能撑得住。”
“而且，对自己是真狠呐！”
看着那洞穿萧灵儿肉体的九根‘仙矛’，林凡眼皮直跳。
“那么接下来，就看谁能撑到最后了。”
他皱眉。
随即，动用本尊那边推衍到一半的瞳术。
目中顿时星辰环绕，宛若蕴含一整个宇宙。
只是···
到目前为止，还是只能装逼用，没什么特殊效果。
“多用用，多观察，或许便会有些收获。”
“···”
······
“灵儿！”
药姥有些急切：“按照当前情况来看，你很吃亏！”
“嗯！”
萧灵儿点头，道：“我能感觉到。”
“它实力太强，哪怕我有焚炎诀、有五种异火与之对抗，吞噬速度，也比它慢上一倍不止，长此以往，必将被它吞噬干净。”
“但好在，我有丹药可以补充。”
“只是，不知仙火九变状态被迫结束之后，还能坚持多久···”
药姥更为着急了。
仙火九变虽然厉害，但终究是爆发类秘术，有时间限制的！且一旦爆发结束，将陷入虚弱状态，那时，才是真正的风险。
她倒是想帮忙。
奈何对于焚炎诀的了解，她其实并不如萧灵儿。
因为药姥自己并未修炼焚炎诀，要论收服多种异火的经验，也不如萧灵儿。
唯有在一旁加油打气，顺便观察局面。
“不过，老师你也无需太过担忧。”
“焚炎诀终究是堪称逆天的功法，目前我虽然处于吃亏状态，吞噬极慢，但只要能吞噬，便有机会！”
“吞一丝，我便炼一丝。”
“从无到有，从零到一，而后···”
交流之余，第一丝水晶焰已被焚炎诀炼化。
只是太过微弱了，真就只有一丝，对水晶焰本身几乎没有任何影响。
但，这却是一个好的开始。
萧灵儿嗑药疗伤、补充，让水晶焰吞噬自身一切的同时，强撑下来，继续炼化！
一丝、两丝···百丝，再到一缕。
看似萧灵儿越亏越多，实则，她的双眸，却是越来越亮。
她不急的！
水晶焰此刻占大优势，自然也不急。
也正是这个不急，让萧灵儿看到希望。
“等等，再等等，还差一些。”
“待到积累足够，一鼓作气！！！”
很快···
哪怕是有丹药补充，萧灵儿也快撑不住了。
整个人都‘瘦’成了皮包骨。
仙火九变也即将到达极限。
但！！！
与此同时，萧灵儿炼化的水晶焰，已有百缕之多。
“就是现在！”
“是时候了！”
萧灵儿猛然抬头：“焚炎诀，给我···炼！”
焚炎诀全力运转，同时，方才炼化的百缕水晶焰也在此刻发挥至关重要的作用。
百缕而已，其实就算全部加在一起，也不过只是一个小火苗罢了，算不得什么，更无法直接拿来当异火用。
但，焚炎诀太过逆天，尤其是对异火而言，更是‘天克’！
靠着一朵小火苗，愣是让萧灵儿所操控的异火拥有了些许水晶焰的特性，让其对水晶焰的抗性直线提高！
也正因为有这些特性，让不灭吞炎与水晶焰宛若同源，吞噬速度大幅度提升。
同时。
萧灵儿体内也开始发生‘变化’。
那刺入其体内的九根‘仙矛’都开始逐渐‘消散’！
那是焚炎诀的功效。
要从内部开始将水晶焰的攻势瓦解，并开始全面反攻！
水晶焰敏锐察觉到不对。
就想抽身而出。
但却无法抽离。
萧灵儿死死抓住这些‘根茎’、‘仙矛’，让它退无可退。
“！！！”
没人知道水晶焰在想什么。
但，察觉到危险的它，本能选择放弃这些‘根茎’，只是‘本体’，那娇艳欲滴、半开半遮的水晶花飞出很远，想要隐匿。
“休走！”
萧灵儿猛然一口，将被水晶焰放弃的部分尽皆吞入腹中，并以最快速度炼化，同时飞身追上，穷追猛打！
趁它病，要它命！
水晶焰自然不服，开始疯狂反击。
各种攻势，堪称惊人，真有第九境之威！
但···
晚矣！
若是一开始它就这么干，林凡与萧灵儿，外加一个药姥，十有八九都要嘎在这儿，根本没可能将其压制，更不可能将它吞噬。
但···
它一开始便想着将萧灵儿与其异火吞了，直接导致被反吞一部分。
更让它没想到的是，萧灵儿拥有焚炎诀这等逆天功法。
功法克制下，如今，萧灵儿又已拥有水晶焰部分特性，就相当于对水晶焰本身的‘抗性’大幅度提高。
如此一来，它便占不到多少优势了。
毕竟，异火本身最强大的点，便是在其特性。
如水晶焰的特性，便是锋锐、高温，且可针对神魂！
但此刻，萧灵儿抗性大大增强，水晶焰的攻势，则是被大幅度削弱，再大战时，便已占不到什么优势了。
再加上药姥暗中辅助。
萧灵儿逐渐占据上风！
见状，林凡含笑点头。
药姥则是不由惊叹道：“你师尊，还真是料事如神。”
“我越发怀疑，他是重生者了。”
她是真这么认为。
毕竟，方才自己与萧灵儿都觉得妥了，林凡却说没那么简单，让萧灵儿做好准备。
结果，果然如此！
这岂止是要做好准备？简直是凶险万分！
看似并不多么惨烈，但却是天时地利人和缺一不可。
但凡有一丁点儿差池，但凡萧灵儿没那么狠、没那般果断，今天的结局，便大概率要改写。
好在···
没有如果！
小半日后，萧灵儿成功将水晶焰吞噬，并封印在体内！
同时，她面色苍白，豆大的汗珠在滑落，体内如翻江倒海，又有如抽空了骨头，全部换成岩浆！
痛！
深入骨髓的痛。
但她却仍是勉强挤出一个笑容，示意林凡不必担心，这才立刻盘膝坐下，全身心炼化。
吞噬与压制，只是第一步。
炼化异火，同样是极为凶险的过程。
But Lin Fan couldn't help her with this matter.
She can only rely on herself.
He stared at the starry eyes and observed carefully. At the same time, he was also deducing this pupil technique, thinking about how to be more meticulous and see some details, understand the condition of the body and so on.
Sudden···
I had an idea and made some modifications to the pupil technique.
'Synchronizing' with it, the scarecrow clone also began to perform pupil techniques again.
It was at this moment that he suddenly felt his vision blurry.
Then···
Zoom in, zoom in, and zoom in again.
Xiao Ling'er seemed to be very close.
What’s even worse is…
Suddenly, all her clothes seemed to become transparent!
The figure is clearly visible.
Lin Fan: “?!”
He quickly retracted his gaze and removed the half-finished pupil technique. He was so embarrassed that his toes almost dug out a three-bedroom and one-living-room house.
What the hell!
I want to see through everything, to see the current "battle situation" inside her body, not to see through her clothes, okay? Who wants this kind of pupil technique! I'm not a pervert!
He was crazy about himself.
At this moment, Yao Lao said anxiously, "Daoyou, with your pupil technique, can you tell what the current situation is?"
Lin Fan: “…”
"Well, I didn't see anything."
“···”
······
Lu Ming, who was far away in the southwest region, slapped his forehead.
"Awkward!"
"But at least it proves that the idea is correct."
"But the effect is still a little poor. It can only see through clothes, cough."
“Keep improving, keep improving…”
······
Three days later.
Xiao Ling'er is almost exhausted!
She was already just skin and bones, and now her whole body was dry, as if all the water had been sucked out of her, like a corpse.
If it weren't for her weak breathing and the fluctuations of her soul, Lin Fan and the others would almost have thought it was a corpse.
Her expression has become calm.
The trembling in the body also disappeared.
Under the concerned gaze of Lin Fan and the others.
Sudden.
Like a long drought finally ending in rain!
Xiao Ling'er's condition began to improve, her body became fuller, and her skin gradually regained its elasticity...
Seeing this, Lin Fan immediately took out several rejuvenation pills to help him recover.
Another half hour later, Xiao Ling'er opened her eyes and a divine light flashed across them.
“Master!”
"teacher!"
She stood up and returned to her best condition, even better than before!
boom!!!
Her aura began to surge, and her cultivation level soared like a rocket.
However, it only took a moment, and he broke through one after another until he reached the peak of the sixth level before slowly stopping!
In fact, this is not the limit.
If she hadn't deliberately suppressed herself, it wouldn't be impossible for her to reach the seventh level, or even the second or third level of the seventh level.
"Don't choose to break through?"
Lin Fan asked.
"I want to wait a little longer and try to reach the limit before breaking through." Xiao Ling'er smiled sweetly.
Lin Fan nodded and thought it was interesting.
The Yan Emperor template actually didn't attach that much importance to the 'extreme realm', but Xiao Ling'er seemed to be affected by some external factors and became very concerned about it.
This is not a bad thing, and I naturally cannot stop it.
In fact, instead of stopping it, we should also encourage it.
At this moment, Xiao Linger showed a brilliant smile: "Master, teacher, I am fortunate to have fulfilled my mission."
"The crystal flame has been successfully refined!"
Boom!
As soon as the words fell, this small world began to shake violently.
The 'crystal' that came into view was already covered with cracks at some point.
Then, it collapsed suddenly!
The three of them changed color and immediately left this small crystal world.
That is at this moment.
Hai Dongpo's eyes were filled with astonishment. He stared at the returning Lin Fan and his apprentice, then looked at the rippling lake, his face twitching slightly: "Done?"
Xiao Ling'er cupped her hands: "Thank you very much, Senior!"
Hai Dongpo stared at her with a sigh, and after a long, long moment, he said, "Very good."
"The young are to be feared."
"The young...are formidable."
