When Ling Yun and his group arrived in Fire Wasteland City, it was snowing.
Snowflakes were falling heavily from the sky, but the cold was nonexistent for cultivators, as their spiritual power could block out most of the severe cold.
The ground was already covered with more than a foot of snow.
Qiongqi, still childlike at heart, took advantage of the Golden Lion's inattention, grabbed a snowflake, rolled it into a snowball, and smashed it over the Lion's head.
"Qiongqi! How old are you? You're still so childish!"
As he spoke, the Golden Lion threw snowballs at Qiongqi.
So everyone started a snowball fight outside the city. It wasn't just Lingyun and his group; many people in Fire Wasteland City were also having a snowball fight.
After playing around for a while, everyone stopped and built twenty-one snowmen before Lingyun and his group entered Fire Wasteland City.
Along the way, they saw that the robes worn by the common people were made of bear skin. When they were outside the city, Ling Yun and his group saw many bears, mostly black bears.
Instead of visiting the Luo family immediately, the group went to the best restaurant in the city first.
After taking their seats in the private room, A Bao said magnanimously:
"One bear paw per person, but one isn't enough, ten!"
The waiter paused for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Sir, each of our bear paws is three feet long. Are you sure you want ten for one person?"
Three feet long?!
Everyone was slightly taken aback. Had they killed the Bear King? Such a huge bear paw.
The waiter explained:
"Our Fire Wasteland City is the only snow city in the Tang Domain. Countless bears migrated here. In addition, the species here are extremely rich. The bears have few natural enemies, so they grow to be large."
We killed beasts, not demons!
Furthermore, if we don't kill more bears, all the other animals around Fire Wasteland City will be eaten by them.
Everyone suddenly realized what was going on, and A Bao said:
"Then let's each have two, we can eat a lot!"
When the bear paw was served, everyone looked at each other in surprise upon seeing how big it was, realizing they had overestimated their appetites.
Anyway, since Abao is here, we'll just give him the leftovers.
Immediately, everyone grabbed the bear paws and started gnawing on them.
After a satisfying meal, the group left the restaurant and headed to the Luo family's residence.
The Luo family is the number one family in Fire Wasteland City, specializing in water-based magical arts.
Just as they arrived at the Luo family's gate, before he could even speak, the butler interrupted:
"Please come back another day, everyone. The Luo family is not receiving guests for the time being!"
At this moment, a series of shrill screams came from the Luo family, and the butler looked heartbroken upon hearing them.
Abao asked:
"Old man, we were introduced by Lord Nangong. We have important business with the head of the family."
The butler shook his head and refused.
"The head of the family is not in the mood to receive guests right now, and it has nothing to do with you all."
Abao asked:
"What happened? We're the best at solving problems."
The butler glanced at Ling Yun and his group, noticing their unfathomable depths, and after a moment's thought, said:
"To be honest, my young master has encountered a problem while practicing water magic and has been poisoned by the guillotine water!"
Thunder, fire, and water are among the most powerful forces in the world.
Water may seem the weakest, but it is actually the most difficult to cultivate, yet its power is immense.
Water-based practices are prone to going wrong, such as developing poisonous water from sluice gates.
The guillotine water poison is a mutation of the essence of water magic within the body, transforming into a water poison shaped like a guillotine. Initially, it will shatter the dantian.
Next comes the meridians, and finally the primordial spirit.
It's safe to say that once you're poisoned by the guillotine-infused water, you're basically doomed.
Judging from the prince's screams, it seems that his meridians have been blocked.
Everyone felt sorry for him. The fact that the prince could cultivate the Gate Blade Water Poison showed that he had amazing talent in water magic. The higher the talent, the easier it was to activate the Gate Blade Water Poison.
The butler sighed:
"Unless there is the Phoenix Essence Fire, otherwise, Your Highness... Alas, where in the Tang Domain can you find a pure-blooded phoenix?"
It's too late to seek help from the Phoenix Clan beyond the realm now.
Pureblood Phoenix!
Abao hurriedly said:
"We have a pure-blooded phoenix!"
"What!" The butler was shocked. As if worried that Abao would run away, he grabbed Abao's arm and walked into the yard.
While walking, he shouted:
"Master has found the phoenix! The young master is saved!"
boom!
The butler's words resounded like thunder in the Luo family home.
The family head, Luo Bin, rushed out of the dojo and stood in front of the steward.
"My lord, this young friend..."
Luo Bin was so excited that he grabbed A Bao's other arm and flew towards the backyard:
"Young friend Phoenix! You've come at just the right time!"
Ah Bao said helplessly:
“Patriarch, I am not a phoenix, my sister-in-law is the phoenix.”
As soon as they finished speaking, the butler and Luo Bin released A Bao's hand and rushed towards Ling Yun and the others.
Before Abao could react, he fell from the sky.
"May I ask which fairy is Lady Phoenix?"
Luo Bin clasped his hands in a salute, his face showing both excitement and anxiety.
He quickly realized he had lost his composure. After calming himself down, he seemed to remember something and asked:
"Fellow Daoists, were you introduced by Lord Nangong to seek the Water Crystal?"
Ling Yun nodded slightly, "Exactly!"
Luo Bin said seriously:
"I will give you all the Water Crystals if you can cure my son's poisoning from the guillotine!"
Ling Yun said:
"Let's not talk about that now, saving lives is the priority!"
Immediately afterwards, Luo Bin led Ling Yun and his group to the backyard where the young master Luo Li's dojo was located.
At this moment, Luo Li was trapped by black iron chains, and her acupoints were sealed to prevent her from taking her own life due to unbearable pain.
"Father, please let me go. I will repay your kindness in the next life. I really can't take it anymore, Father!"
Luo Li's face was ashen, her body trembled uncontrollably from the pain, and despair and resolve were evident in her eyes.
The fact that someone would rather die shows how terrifying the poison from the guillotine is.
I can still faintly hear the sound of the guillotine severing my meridians; the pain is worse than being slowly sliced to death.
Seeing his son's pained expression, Luo Bin couldn't help but shed tears.
"Child, someone can save you!"
Luo Li looked at Ling Yun and his group, and the despair in his eyes turned into hope. He wanted to speak, but he was in too much pain to speak.
A phoenix burst forth from Yan Ruyu's brow and transformed into the appearance of a young girl.
"Using the Phoenix Essence Fire to remove the poison from the guillotine water will be ten thousand times more painful than it is now. At that time, you will feel that death is a relief!"
Because of his water-related practices, the actual suffering he might experience is even more severe than the phoenix described.
"As long as there is hope for my son to live, he can endure any pain!"
Luo Bin said to Luo Li:
"Child, this is a tribulation in your life. As long as you get through it, you will leap over the dragon gate and soar to the sky."
Haven't you always longed to become an immortal and a supreme master of water magic, surpassing all others throughout history?
Now is your chance to prove yourself. Daddy believes you can pull through.
Luo Li's eyes hardened, and she nodded vigorously.
"Good!" Phoenix snapped his fingers, and a ball of phoenix essence fire appeared at his fingertips.
She reduced the temperature of the essence fire by ninety percent and looked at Luo Li:
"Just bear with it and it will pass. Remember to guide the essence fire throughout your body's meridians to clear away the poison from the guillotine water."
If you can't help it, just call yourself the Water Immortal Emperor to give yourself some motivation!
After speaking, Phoenix flicked its finger, and the essence fire entered Luo Li's brow.
Luo Li gritted her teeth and refused to let out a single scream.
Qiongqi patted the Golden Lion on the shoulder and said:
"You stay and help."
