The golden lion nodded slightly and stayed without much thought.
After all, the poison from the guillotine was too potent, and its fusion with the Phoenix Essence Fire would surely cause chaos within Luo Li's body.
The Golden Lion can use its immortal aura to help Luo Li.
However, the Golden Lion soon regretted it. The process of the Phoenix Essence Fire removing the poison from the guillotine water was too explosive, and Luo Li couldn't help but let out a shrill scream.
The cries were so pitiful that even the golden lion began to doubt its own existence.
"Qiongqi is too insidious!" the Golden Lion said through gritted teeth.
After a day and a night, under the protection of the golden lion, the water poison in Luo Li's body was finally cleared.
The golden lion slumped into the chair as if it had just survived a major battle.
At this moment, Luo Li's face was deathly pale, and she lay on the bed extremely weak, while Luo Bin beside her was in tears.
"Child, the poison from the guillotine water has finally been neutralized. From now on, you can practice water magic without any worries!"
The guillotine poisoning is the most toxic of all water poisons; once cured, one will never suffer from any water poisoning again in this lifetime.
This is also a test for water magic geniuses. As long as Luo Li's Dao Heart remains intact, she will surely become a great water magic master.
The golden lion took out a pill.
"Give him this to eat; it can quickly repair his dantian and meridians."
"Thank you, sir!"
Luo Bin quickly stuffed the pill into Luo Li's mouth, and Luo Li soon fell into a deep sleep.
The golden lion dragged its weary body out of the room and came to a secluded courtyard, giving Qiongqi a resentful look.
After listening to screams for a whole day and night, the Golden Lion was truly exhausted, both physically and mentally.
"Haha... Brother Lion, you've worked hard! Come, come, have some tea!"
Qiongqi chuckled and poured a cup of spiritual tea for the Golden Lion.
"Brother Lion, your sacrifice for the Water Crystal is worthwhile. Once the Empress Seed takes root and sprouts into an Empress, I'll have her introduce you to a good woman."
"Hmph!" The Golden Lion rolled its eyes at Qiongqi. "You seem to be quite concerned about my marriage lately."
Qiongqi said solemnly:
"You are the purest golden lion in the world, you must settle down and start a family as soon as possible to continue your bloodline."
I'm doing this for the sake of the Golden Lion clan.
This made Golden Lion realize that he really needed to settle down and start a family soon, otherwise it would be difficult to have offspring once he broke through to the Immortal King realm.
After all, the higher one's cultivation level, the harder it is to have offspring; this is due to the rules of heaven and earth.
At this moment, Luo Bin, the head of the Luo family, walked over, holding an ice crystal box in his hands.
"Thank you all for saving my son. Here are the Water Crystals you requested. I have a total of ten Water Crystals, and I'm giving them all to you."
As he spoke, the Luo family opened the ice crystal box, revealing ten nearly transparent water crystals, each about three inches long.
After glancing at the color of the water crystal, Ling Yun nodded in satisfaction; it was indeed the water crystal with the highest purity.
He took out five pieces, but didn't want the remaining five.
"Patriarch Luo, you're too kind. We only need five pieces. The rest can be used for cultivation by the Luo family."
For the Empress Seed, three Water Crystals are enough to provide sufficient water-based energy. After all, the Empress Seed is essentially still a seed and does not need so many Water Crystals for nourishment; too much of anything is bad.
Furthermore, as a family renowned for its water magic, and with the emergence of Luo Li, a prodigy in water magic, the Luo family needs water crystals more than anyone else.
Luo Bin didn't stand on ceremony. He put away the ice crystal box and bowed deeply to Ling Yun and his group.
"You are all great benefactors of the Luo family. I, Luo Bin, hereby swear that as long as the Luo family is of any use, the Luo family will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Ling Yun helped Luo Bin up and smiled:
"It's enough that you have the intention."
Just as he was about to take his leave, Luo Bin said seriously:
"Today, the Luo family is hosting a banquet for you gentlemen. Would you please stay here for a few days?"
After thinking for a moment, Ling Yun nodded slightly. He needed to refine the energy in the Water Crystal and send it into the spiritual soil, so he wasn't in a hurry to go to the Starry Sky Academy and agreed.
Soon after, Ling Yun and his group settled in at the Luo family's residence.
After Luo Bin left, Ling Yun sealed off the courtyard, and a group of people surrounded the ancient immortal bottle.
Everyone looked inside the ancient immortal bottle and were instantly shocked.
"It...it sprouted?"
Green shoots appeared from the cracks in the Empress's seed.
This truly surprised everyone; the seeds had sprouted in just a few days.
"After all, it is the seed of the Empress, containing the Empress's will, and has an extremely strong desire to live. It can survive as long as there is suitable soil."
This is actually nothing to be surprised about; it simply demonstrates the Empress's power.
The ancient immortal bottle slowly opened its mouth.
Everyone nodded in agreement with the ancient immortal bottle's statement.
"I'm really looking forward to the seed eventually growing into an empress, so that my brother Lion's marriage will be settled."
Qiongqi laughed.
The golden lion rolled its eyes at him and ignored him.
Immediately, Ling Yun took out the Water Extreme Crystal and refined it.
The next moment!
The water-based energy was rapidly absorbed by the seed as soon as it was refined.
Seeing this, everyone was even more shocked by the extraordinary nature of the Empress Seed, which could autonomously absorb water-based energy.
Just as Ling Yun had predicted, after absorbing the energy of the third water crystal, the seed stopped absorbing and lay quietly in the spiritual soil.
After doing all this, everyone was completely relieved. The Empress Seed had survived with the least possible probability.
A hundred or a thousand years later, when this peony seed blooms, it will manifest as a human.
Ling Yun deduced that the ancient immortal bottle must contain the Empress's memories. As long as the peony flower manifests as a human, the Empress will regain her memories and live a second life.
That evening, the Luo family hosted a banquet for Ling Yun and his entourage, while Luo Li was still recuperating.
During the meal, it was learned that the Luo family patriarch had fought fiercely with the Fire Saintess, who was also Xiao Yanran's previous incarnation.
The two fought each other to the death many times, but neither could defeat the other.
Later, when the final battle with the Buddhists began, the Golden-Winged Roc King ambushed the Flame Saintess. The Luo family patriarch discovered this in time, took a blow for the Saintess, and perished.
There is a will of heaven in the dark, and the cycle of cause and effect is truly unpredictable. In her second life, Xiao Yanran's companions saved the most amazing descendant of the Luo family.
This can be considered as repaying the kindness shown to me back then.
When these things were discussed, everyone was struck by the power of cause and effect.
"The conflict between water and fire is inevitable. The Holy Maiden and my master are fighting for their respective lineages, but they both appreciate each other's talents."
That's why he shielded the saintess from an attack when she was in danger.
Luo Bin spoke slowly.
The banquet lasted until late at night. Everyone returned to their lodgings and had just sat down when Nangong Chen arrived.
His face looked very anxious, and his eyes were filled with deep worry.
Ling Yun asked:
"What happened, Fellow Daoist Nangong?"
"Sigh~" Nangong Chen said anxiously:
"Xiao Xi went to the Hengyu region of the Fumo Starfield to try to turn the demons there against the Buddhists, but she was captured by the Buddhists."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Turning the local anti-Buddhist forces in the Demon Subduing Starfield against their will was one of the established strategies.
For the sake of Tang Yu, the Nangong family went so far as to send their most outstanding descendants there.
Ling Yun knew that Nangong Chen wouldn't have asked him to help if he didn't dote on Nangong Xi so much.
"Fellow Daoist Nangong, please don't be hasty. Tell me what happened."
