Chapter 35: Pick up the fragments of Ziwei Tianhuo and kill her if you have the chance
Wait! Nan Si Ning felt like his CPU was about to burn out from the sheer amount of information!
First of all, this bright and dazzling ball of light is actually the legendary sun fire?
Nan Si Ning's mind moved, and a cluster of flames shot out directly from the palm of his hand. Compared with the dreamy red color of the Ziwei Heavenly Fire, the Sun's True Fire appeared whiter and brighter, and more powerful.
However, it was stuffed into Nan Si Ning's fire spirit root, just like Nan Si Ning's natal fire, it did not hurt her at all, but instead made her feel that her abilities had increased a lot.
Luo Qingyao hadn't completely subdued the Ziwei Skyfire yet, but she already dared to kill everyone in the secret realm. She was not afraid at all that she would be hunted down and intercepted by Yaowang City after leaving the secret realm. It was the Ziwei Skyfire that gave her the courage.
Now that Nan Sining has obtained the Sun's True Fire, which is much more powerful than the Ziwei Heavenly Fire, he suddenly feels more confident.
Nan Sining was terrifyingly confident at this moment!
The flames moved with Nan Sining's thoughts. Wherever she thought, the flames of the sun's true fire would go there, just like pointing her arm.
Nan Si Ning was so happy that he couldn't help but hug the little beast and pat it twice. This little thing was so generous! This Sun True Fire, number one on the list of strange fires, was given away without any hesitation!
After Nan Sining pecked the little beast twice, it immediately felt its blood boiling and flowing uncontrollably.
The little beast couldn't help but raise its paws and touch its cheeks. It felt numb and hot on both sides. It was a strange feeling it had never experienced before.
How come she seems to be more powerful than those pills? The little beast thought blankly.
After Nan Si Ning had enough fun, her excitement faded a little. She thought of her second question: How did the little beast get the Sun's True Fire? Could it be its life treasure?
It seems that the reason why the little beast dared to rush forward and knock Luo Qingyao, whose whole body had turned into Ziwei Heavenly Fire, away, was because it was protected by the true fire of the sun.
The Sun's True Fire was so powerful that Nan Si Ning would certainly be happy to possess it, but she couldn't snatch this life-giving treasure away so soon after the little beast had saved her.
The little beast is powerful, but it is obviously simple-minded and has a simple mind. He cannot take advantage of others.
Nan Si Ning calmed down a lot and asked the little beast, "Is this Sun True Fire your natal treasure?"
The little beast tilted its head and thought for a while, then took the initiative to touch Nan Si Ning's hand. Nan Si Ning saw the little beast curled up in a ball and sleeping in a brilliant light.
After blinking, the illusion in front of him disappeared, and Nan Si Ning quickly understood what the little beast meant. The place where it was conceived and born was guarded by a piece of true sun fire. Although the true sun fire was very powerful, it could not be considered a natal treasure or something like that.
Nan Si Ning was very surprised. He didn't expect the birth of the little beast to be so magical. It seemed that it must be a little beast with a complicated origin.
But she was so ignorant that she couldn't recognize it.
However, it is okay as long as the Sun True Fire is not the little beast's natal treasure. Looking at the scene of its gestation and birth, the Sun True Fire can only be regarded as a guardian beast, far from the level of natal treasure. Moreover, the little beast should have more Sun True Fire. Giving yourself a share will not have much effect on it.
After figuring out the connection, Nan Sining accepted the gift with peace of mind.
The little beast watched Nan Si Ning, hands on his hips, laugh a few times towards the sky. His laughter was strange, and for some reason he felt that this was a good thing. He wished that this person could continue to laugh in this strange way, and it would be best if...
The little beast scratched his cheek lightly. Although his face was no longer numb and hot, when he thought about it, he felt his heart was also hot and full, wanting more.
Nan Sining laughed strangely, and Hua Shengqing was woken up by her horrible laughter.
"Junior...Junior sister?!" Hua Shengqing's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his junior sister has gone crazy?
The eldest sister had explained that although the junior sister had regained her intelligence, swallowing the Blazing Heart Soul-Nourishing Fruit raw, as well as upgrading the pills during the competition, were both great tests on her spirit. If she wasn't careful, the junior sister might turn into a fool again, or even worse.
Could it be that the junior sister didn't become a little fool, but instead became a little crazy?
When Hua Shengqing thought about this, he felt numb.
Nan Si Ning turned around and saw Hua Shengqing had woken up. She was even happier: "Seventh Senior Sister, you're awake! Let's check your body to see if there are any hidden injuries that I haven't discovered!"
Hua Shengqing struggled to sit up and said, "Don't talk about me first, let me take a look at you first."
"What's wrong with me?" Nan Si Ning looked puzzled, but when he thought about how he had just woken up and was worried about his senior brothers and sisters, he didn't think much about it.
Hua Shengqing was relieved when she saw that her junior sister's eyes were still lively and vivid, unlike when she was stupid and always staring blankly.
Nan Sining urged Hua Shengqing to look inward and found that she did have a few hidden injuries. She quickly took some medicine and regulated her breathing.
Then she hurried to check on Zhou Lixing's condition.
Nan Si Ning said, "I've already given Third Senior Brother several rounds of Soul Nourishing Pills, and his spirit has stabilized a lot. However, the Ziwei Heavenly Fire is too overbearing, and Luo Qingyao was determined to kill him, so Third Senior Brother needs to be nourished for a while longer."
When Luo Qingyao was mentioned, Hua Shengqing flew into a rage and cursed, "That bitch Luo Qingyao! She's clearly trying to kill us at Cijian Peak! Fourth Senior Brother is like a possessed person, thinking she's a good person. Ugh!"
Speaking of this, Hua Shengqing became particularly angry.
Nan Si Ning didn't try to sugarcoat the situation to comfort Hua Shengqing. Instead, he said, "She has murderous intentions towards us at Cijian Peak. Not only do the three of us know this, but the eldest and second senior brothers are also aware of it. We must be vigilant. When we get the chance in the future, we must kill Luo Qingyao."
Hua Shengqing agreed very much and said, "That's right!"
"Senior Sister, please refrain from speaking ill of Luo Qingyao in front of Fourth Senior Brother. Fourth Senior Brother is just like those male cultivators who have been bewitched by Luo Qingyao. The more you say bad things about Luo Qingyao, the more he will defend her in his heart. The more he defends her, the deeper he will sink."
Hua Shengqing was about to retort, but when she remembered that this was her own junior sister, she forced herself to hold back. Her face looked strange for a while before she said, "Is this why you, junior sister, didn't tell Fourth Senior Brother about Luo Qingyao?"
Nan Si Ning nodded: "Yes, but at the same time I have also made my attitude clear. Luo Qingyao and I are irreconcilable. If Fourth Senior Brother leans towards Luo Qingyao, then I am against him, and I will not treat him well. Fourth Senior Brother should also be mentally prepared. If it comes to a life-or-death situation, I will not save him like I saved you and Third Senior Brother."
Hua Shengqing originally wanted to persuade Nan Si Ning, but when she opened her mouth, she found that she didn't know where to start.
After a moment of silence, Hua Shengqing suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly, "After talking for so long, where is Luo Qingyao? Do you think she is dead?!"
When Hua Shengqing expressed this guess, he couldn't suppress his excitement and joy.
Nan Sining also raised the corner of her mouth. She was looking forward to Luo Qingyao's death as much as Hua Shengqing, but she knew very well that as the protagonist, Luo Qingyao would not die so easily.
"I don't think she is dead." Nan Si Ning said bluntly.
Hua Shengqing visibly drooped. "Why? Can't you just lie to me?"
Nan Sining explained, "Because Senior Brother Hu's Heavenly Oath stated that he would ensure Luo Qingyao's safe exit from the secret realm. If Luo Qingyao dies, it would mean that Senior Brother Hu failed to fulfill his Heavenly Oath, and Heaven would punish him. Think about it, if Senior Brother Hu perishes in this secret realm, the soul lamp he enshrined in Medicine King City will go out, and the life tablet carried by Senior Medicine King will shatter. Wouldn't Senior Medicine King and Senior Brother Shen come to investigate and see what happened to Senior Brother Hu?"
Hua Shengqing looked around the silent yellow sand and felt that what Nan Sining said made sense.
"Is Luo Qingyao some kind of immortal monster? Even such a huge and violent explosion didn't kill her?!" Hua Shengqing kicked the sand hard in anger.
As a result, two or three red flames flew out from the raised sand and rushed directly towards Hua Shengqing's face.
Nan Si Ning didn't think twice and just reached out and grabbed a few flames in his hand, then spread out his hands.
In Nan Si Ning's white palm, a few small flames appeared particularly red, but their arrogance had also subsided a lot, obviously sensing the presence of great power in Nan Si Ning.
"What is this?" Hua Shengqing widened her eyes, feeling that these small and exquisite things looked very familiar.
She stretched out her hand, and the flames became even more fierce, and seemed to be more discerning.
Nan Si Ning said: "This should be a fragment of the Ziwei Heavenly Fire, or you could say it's a fire seed."
"Ziwei Heavenly Fire?! It's broken into pieces like this?!"
Nan Si Ning nodded: "That thing used a lot of force to hit Luo Qingyao, and the power it unleashed caused the entire secret realm to shake. It's normal for Ziwei Tianhuo to be hit like this."
Hua Shengqing felt the power of the Ziwei Skyfire fragments and asked in surprise, "Junior Sister, how come you're fine holding the Ziwei Skyfire like this?"
Nan Si Ning pretended to be profound and said, "Of course it's because I'm gifted!"
Hua Shengqing remained silent. She already knew exactly what kind of background Nan Si Ning was.
Nan Sining thought about it, then rubbed the three pieces of debris together with his hands, and the flame became bigger.
Hua Shengqing was extremely shocked: "This... is this possible?"
"Of course!"
Nan Si Ning looked at the Purple Myrtle Skyfire in his hand, then looked at Hua Shengqing, and asked the little beast, "Can you help me get this Purple Myrtle Skyfire fragment into my senior sister's spiritual root?"
Hua Shengqing has a heavenly grade fire spirit root, which is why Qin Sangyue allowed her to follow him to the Strange Fire Secret Realm.
Hua Shengqing was even more surprised: "Give... give it to me? Then I will be the same as Luo Qingyao?"
Nan Si Ning shook his head. "That's different. Luo Qingyao subdued the powerful original form of the Ziwei Skyfire, and she used evil methods. This is just a fragment of the Ziwei Skyfire. Its power is probably less than one thousandth of the original form. But if you can feed it well and grow with it, by the time you reach the Refining Void Stage and the Great Perfection Stage, its power should be almost the same as the original form."
Hua Shengqing was suddenly a little disappointed.
The little beast stretched out its little paws and took the Ziwei Heavenly Fire handed to it by Nan Si Ning. It seemed to hear that Nan Si Ning was not very satisfied with this tiny Ziwei Heavenly Fire, so it slowly raised the Ziwei Heavenly Fire a little, then opened its arms, as if it was performing a very mysterious spell.
Nan Sining and Hua Shengqing suddenly felt that the surrounding environment had changed greatly.
In this endless yellow sand, countless purple fireflies suddenly rose up, just like the stars in the sky, some bright, some dim. Such a sea of stars is so beautiful that even Nan Si Ning was a little intoxicated by it.
The little beast noticed that Nan Si Ning liked it, so he specially let the fragments of Ziwei Sky Fire stay in the air for a while.
After the surprise and astonishment in Nan Si Ning's expression gradually faded, the little beast waved its hand gently, and all the fragments rushed over here, forming a vortex of spiritual power.
In the vortex, countless fragments devoured each other, gradually forming a red Ziwei sky fireball slightly smaller than an egg yolk.
Hua Shengqing asked anxiously, "So, will the Ziwei Heavenly Fire be restored?"
Nan Si Ning thought for a moment and shook his head, "That shouldn't be the case. The Ziwei Heavenly Fire isn't just the result of the power of the stars, it's also because it has developed intelligence. It's a spiritual creature. The fireball it creates is very different from its original form."
After listening to this, the little beast looked at Nan Si Ning with eyes full of admiration. She is so smart!
Hua Shengqing was immediately disappointed and said, "Junior Sister, you're right. Everything in the world is like this. We cultivators also need to hone our skills day by day, not only to increase our cultivation, but also to refine our character and magic. I think this strange fire is the same. Improving cultivation is only one aspect; the greater part is their understanding of the rules and laws of the world."
As soon as Hua Shengqing finished speaking, Nan Sining felt a surge of spiritual power spreading out.
Hua Shengqing, who felt something in his mind, immediately sat down cross-legged and seized the opportunity of enlightenment.
Sure enough, this opportunity for enlightenment came very suddenly, and Nan Sining hurried to protect Hua Shengqing.
When Hua Shengqing opened her eyes again, Nan Sining felt that her eyes were brighter, and there seemed to be something more in her flowing eyes.
Hua Shengqing said happily, "That's great! This enlightenment went very smoothly! Thank you, Junior Sister!"
Nan Sining spoke modestly.
Nan Si Ning was thinking about the Ziwei Heavenly Fire, so he let the little beast continue. Hua Shengqing hurriedly said, "It's not appropriate for me to enjoy such a large Ziwei Heavenly Fire alone. Junior Sister, please share a piece!"
Nan Sining frowned slightly. How could the tone be so casual, as if he was talking about dividing the cake?
"Seventh Senior Sister, I don't need it. I have a more powerful exotic fire," Nan Si Ning said, showing off his own Sun True Fire. "This Ziwei Heavenly Fire is very suitable for your Heavenly Grade Fire Spiritual Root. It is also powerful enough as your natal fire. Don't refuse it."
Hua Shengqing, however, was determined not to keep it all to herself. After some thought, she said, "Why don't we give some to Third Senior Brother? Although Third Senior Brother has dual spiritual roots of Fire and Earth, he relies more on the Fire spiritual root. The Purple Myrtle Heavenly Fire will also be extremely beneficial to him. Besides, Third Senior Brother was the most seriously injured among us this time. We can't just not give him any of the benefits."
Nan Si Ning asked the little beast, "Third Senior Brother's soul was burned by the Zi Wei Heavenly Fire. Can he accept this Zi Wei Heavenly Fire now?"
The little beast seemed to understand Nan Sining's words seriously before nodding.
Seeing this, Hua Shengqing was also very happy: "Then try to divide it more evenly!"
However, to accept the Ziwei Heavenly Fire, one must be in a sober state.
So the two sisters went through a lot of trouble to wake Zhou Lixing up, and only after he was barely able to stay awake did they complete the process of fusing with the Ziwei Heavenly Fire.
Compared to the original body of the Ziwei Sky Fire that has already developed intelligence, the reshaped Ziwei Sky Fire now seems much more rigid. In addition, there are many fragments scattered elsewhere in the secret realm. The power of the Ziwei Sky Fire obtained by Zhou Lixing and Hua Shengqing is only about 20% of the original.
Despite this, Hua Shengqing still seemed extremely excited, even happier than Nan Sining had just had.
"Junior sister, I feel so happy and refreshed!" Hua Shengqing said with a bright smile.
Nan Si Ning was infected by her happiness and said with a smile: "I can see it!"
"Junior Sister, you don't know, I'm not just happy because I got the powerful Ziwei Heavenly Fire, but also because I snatched this Ziwei Heavenly Fire from Luo Qingyao! Even though it's far less powerful than before, I still feel extremely happy, very relieved, and very proud!"
It seems that Hua Shengqing had suffered too many losses at the hands of Luo Qingyao in the past, so she feels particularly happy when she occasionally wins a game.
This result also made Hua Shengqing suddenly feel that Luo Qingyao's existence was not a mountain she could not overcome, but an opportunity for her to hone her character.
When she figured this out, she suddenly felt her mind become clear, and there was no more resentment and anger in her heart.
Nan Si Ning said: "Seventh Senior Sister, this is the first time you have snatched something from Luo Qingyao, but it won't be the last time. Follow me, Luo Qingyao will be your granary from now on!"
Hua Shengqing thought about how Nan Si Ning had stolen Luo Qingyao's Baohua hairpin on the flying boat, and thought about what his third senior brother had said about how Nan Si Ning had taken him to steal Luo Qingyao and her group's storage rings and mustard seed bags, and how Luo Qingyao and her group had no idea that it was the two of them who did it... These brilliant achievements made Hua Shengqing believe Nan Si Ning's words unconditionally.
"Okay! If there's something good like this in the future, Junior Sister, you must call me!"
"That's for sure!" Nan Sining responded generously.
Nan Si Ning and Hua Shengqing stayed in the secret realm for a while longer, consolidating their relationship with the strange fire. They also took advantage of the abundant fire spiritual power in the secret realm to practice hard. After Hua Shengqing felt that she could no longer suppress her state of advancement, the two of them took the still unconscious Zhou Lixing and the little beast that followed Nan Si Ning closely, and left the secret realm.
The little beast always knew that Nan Si Ning and the others would leave the secret realm, so it refused to leave Nan Si Ning's side for a moment, for fear that if it left for a moment, Nan Si Ning and the other two would leave on their own.
Nan Sining didn't expect that this little beast would be so clingy.
It was not until they left the secret realm that the little beast's body, which had been tense for a long time, finally relaxed, and the whole beast seemed much more relaxed and lively.
Nan Si Ning laughed secretly when he saw this. How come it was like a kitten or puppy that was a little bit narrow-minded, but not too narrow-minded, showing all its thoughts on its face, and thinking it was very smart.
As soon as he came out of the secret realm, Nan Si Ning saw that even his second senior brother, who needed to be taken care of, was waiting there. He suddenly felt a little regretful that he should have come out earlier.
Hua Shengqing was equally surprised. After handing Zhou Lixing over to Qin Sangyue and Liang Xiao, the first thing she asked was Yuan Qingan, "Second Brother, why did you come out? You should have rested well!"
Liang Xiao on the side looked at Hua Shengqing in surprise. According to the habit of the seventh junior sister, shouldn't she be the first to greet him and show concern for him?
Although Second Brother needs more care, Seventh Sister always puts herself first!
Yuan Qing'an smiled gently, his tone quite gentle: "I've been feeling much better recently. Besides, with the news that Seventh Junior Sister and Little Junior Sister are in danger in the secret realm, how can I rest in peace? The sooner I see you three, the sooner I can feel at ease."
Nan Si Ning followed Hua Shengqing and sighed in his heart, only a male cultivator like Second Senior Brother who is so elegant, gentle and polite is worthy of the attention of female cultivators, right?
How could a foolish and naive Fourth Senior Brother like him have such arousing the attention of his Seventh Senior Sister? She was obsessed with him to the point of obsession.
Seeing that Yuan Qing'an had indeed recovered a lot, his face was a little rosy, and he spoke with more energy, Nan Sining nodded secretly. It seemed that Yaowang City was really capable.
Yuan Qing'an's spiritual power chaos is a terminal illness. There is no way to completely solve this problem except to improve his cultivation and constantly improve his control over his body and spiritual power.
This is why, despite being born into a powerful cultivation family and possessing rare spiritual roots, Yuan Qing'an was still abandoned by his family. If he hadn't been lucky enough to meet his master, he would probably have died in some unknown corner due to the violent spiritual power.
Chen Tangyuan personally examined Zhou Lixing and said, "Junior Brother Zhou's soul was indeed damaged. Fortunately, the Soul Nourishing Pills we fed him were of high quality, and we fed him several in time, so his soul has been preserved as much as possible."
After hearing this, everyone looked relieved.
Damage to the soul is a big problem. If you are not careful, it is very likely to leave very serious sequelae.
"Two junior brothers, please send Junior Brother Zhou to Master, so that Master can take a closer look at him and feed him some soul-nourishing pills to help him get better as soon as possible." Shen Tangyuan ordered.
"Yes, senior brother." The two disciples from Yaowang City responded.
Qin Sangyue asked Liang Xiao to go with her to look after her. Liang Xiao really wanted to say a few words to Hua Shengqing. However, after the Seventh Junior Sister came out of the secret realm, she not only didn't say a word to him, but didn't even glance at him, which made Liang Xiao a little nervous.
However, thinking that his third senior brother's matter was more important, he hesitated for a moment and then immediately followed.
After checking Zhou Lixing, Chen Tangyuan gave Hua Shengqing and Nan Sining a thorough checkup, and gave each of them a bottle of top-quality elixir, asking them to rest well.
The two were not seriously injured, and the senior brothers and sisters from Cijian Peak all breathed a sigh of relief.
After putting his heart back in his stomach, Yuan Qing'an pointed the jade flute in his hand at the black beast that followed Nan Si Ning closely and asked, "Junior Sister, what is this?"
Nan Si Ning held the little beast's panicked paw and said, "It's a long story. This time we had a very dangerous experience, but I was able to escape death and save my life thanks to him. I'll tell you all about it in detail when we get back."
"Okay, there's no need to rush this matter."
Hua Shengqing said anxiously, "Oh right, now that we're all out, the others should be out too, right? How's Senior Brother Hu? Is he injured? And where's Luo Qingyao?"
Qin Sangyue and Yuan Qingan looked at each other, and Nan Sining felt that there were probably a lot of things going on here.
It seems like a lot of things happened just because I came out a few days late?
As they walked towards the guest house, Qin Sangyue began to speak, "Most of those who entered the secret realm with us have emerged, though some have sustained injuries. Those who unfortunately died, Senior Brother Hu, also brought out their remains. After he emerged, he told Senior Medicine King what had happened. Senior Medicine King punished him by whipping him with one hundred Scattered Spirit Thorns and imprisoned him in the Repentance Abyss, demanding he not leave until he became a fourth-grade alchemist."
Hua Shengqing said, "It's clear that although Senior Medicine King is angry, he still loves his disciple. Senior Brother Hu has already touched the edge of becoming a fourth-grade alchemist, right? If he calms down and cultivates, he should be able to achieve it soon."
Yuan Qing'an shook his head and said, "Seventh Junior Sister, you're overthinking it. The Siguo Abyss is an underground abyss where spiritual energy is extremely thin and fierce winds blow. It's very difficult to obtain spiritual plants there, let alone hone your alchemy skills and improve your cultivation. However, if Senior Brother Hu can hone his skills, his foundation will be much more solid."
"This also reflects the painstaking efforts of Senior Medicine King as our master," Nan Sining added.
Hua Shengqing asked expectantly, "Brother Hu, you've been talking for so long. What about Luo Qingyao, the culprit? Did Senior Medicine King punish her severely?!"
Qin Sangyue and Yuan Qingan were silent for a moment before Qin Sangyue said, "Luo Qingyao has already found a way to escape from Yaowang City."
