The two completely different flames now seemed to control each other perfectly, gently licking the cauldron and extracting and fusing the medicinal power of each immortal herb.
Inside the cauldron, a nascent pill the size of a longan was slowly rotating.
Above the elixir, black and white energy circulated, faintly forming a Tai Chi diagram, profound and mysterious.
As Ning Lin unleashed his final hand seal.
"Condense!"
Boom!
High above, the wind and clouds changed color as a purple bolt of lightning tore through the clouds and struck straight down toward the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire!
Ning Lin remained expressionless and flicked his finger.
The Phoenix Undying Flame transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky, easily engulfing the pill lightning.
Buzz—
The medicine cauldron emitted a clear, melodious hum, and its lid soared into the sky.
A perfectly round pill, radiating black and white light, quietly floated out.
A strange, indescribable fragrance instantly spread, enveloping an area of hundreds of miles.
Upon smelling this fragrance, the spirit beasts in the forest, whether they were hundreds or thousands of years old, fell into a strange tranquility, as if their souls had been sublimated.
The Elixir of Harmony Between Heaven and Man!
It's done!
Ning Lin reached out and put the pill into the jade bottle. Without pausing, he turned into a blur and disappeared into the depths of the forest.
...
Wuhun City.
The afterglow of the setting sun bathed this sacred land of soul masters in a golden hue.
The streets were bustling with people and vehicles.
A figure walked unhurriedly down the middle of the street, against the flow of people.
It was Ninglin who had left and then returned.
He appeared calm and composed, making no attempt to conceal his presence, as if he were not there for revenge but rather for sightseeing.
He just swaggered along like that.
suddenly.
As he passed a corner, he paused slightly.
The next instant, a tremendous force came from the back of my head.
Everything went black before Ning Lin's eyes, and he lost consciousness, collapsing limply to the ground.
In the darkness, a hand lifted him up and disappeared silently into the depths of the alley.
...
I don't know how much time passed.
Ning Lin opened his eyes again.
As far as the eye could see, there was only darkness.
The air was filled with a damp, rotten, and faint smell of blood.
The surrounding walls were made of an unknown black metal, covered with runes that prevented soul power from probing them.
A locked room.
He had already been taken to Qian Xunji's secret room.
"You're awake?"
A gentle voice, yet tinged with endless hypocrisy, rang out from ahead.
Ning Lin raised his head.
Not far away, Qian Xunji, dressed in the papal robes, sat on a magnificent chair, looking at him with a smile.
Opposite Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong's pretty face was filled with murderous intent, her soul power surging as she confronted him.
Behind the two, their respective Martial Soul True Forms had quietly emerged.
The sacred and majestic six-winged angel and the ferocious and domineering Death Spider King release a suffocating and terrifying pressure in the small, enclosed room!
A major battle seems imminent.
Ning Lin looked around, feeling no panic, but rather a clear understanding.
Everything is going according to plan.
Qian Xunji, you hypocritical pervert, you certainly haven't disappointed me.
With your twisted possessiveness, you will surely kidnap me and make me watch with my own eyes how you humiliate Bibi Dong.
You want to destroy my will, and you want Bibi Dong to show me her most desperate and pathetic side.
Unfortunately, you don't know.
Every step you take is part of my script.
[Editor's note] History has already paved the way to hell for you.
"Dong'er".
Qian Xunji's gaze shifted from Ning Lin back to Bibi Dong's face, his tone tinged with amusement.
"Look, your lover has arrived."
"Right here, keep a close eye on it."
"Watch how I, your teacher, make you completely and utterly mine."
His words were filled with undisguised desire and malice.
Bibi Dong's delicate body trembled slightly with anger.
Her phoenix eyes widened as she stared intently at Qian Xunji, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between her teeth.
"Chihiro!"
"You beast! You pervert!"
"Even if I die, I will never let you touch me!"
"Yeah?"
Qian Xunji's smile grew increasingly smug.
He stretched out a finger and pointed it at Ning Lin, who was chained to the wall.
"If you don't comply, I'll kill him first."
"Inch by inch, right before your eyes, I will slowly and painstakingly execute him!"
"Let me think, where should I start? The eyes, or the tongue?"
"No, let's sever his tendons first, so he can crawl on the ground like a worm."
"That would be really interesting."
He spoke slowly and deliberately, as if discussing a work of art.
Bibi Dong's face turned deathly pale instantly.
Qian Xunji stood up and slowly approached her, his smile turning fervent.
"Dong'er, stop struggling."
"This is my secret chamber, built with sunken silver from the deep sea, enough to isolate everything."
"Go ahead and scream, no one will come to save you."
"Your struggles, your anger, only excite me more!"
An atmosphere of despair permeated the sealed room.
A resolute glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.
She would rather shatter her own heart than suffer such humiliation!
However.
Just as tensions were running high and a conflict was about to erupt.
"Oh..."
A soft laugh suddenly rang out.
The laughter wasn't loud, but it clearly reached Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong's ears.
The two of them were startled at the same time and looked in the direction of the sound.
Ning Lin, chained up, was looking up at them with a strange smile on his face.
Bibi Dong was stunned.
How could he still laugh at a time like this?
Qian Xunji frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
"why are you laughing?"
Ning Lin ignored Qian Xunji; his gaze pierced through the oppressive air and gently landed on Bibi Dong's face.
"Bibi Dong".
His voice was calm yet full of power.
"I once told you that I have a pill that can help you achieve your title."
Before he could finish speaking...
"Clang!"
With a crisp crack, the specially made iron chain that was strong enough to restrain a Soul Saint was easily broken by him!
Ning Lin slowly stood up and opened his palms.
A pill emitting black and white light lay quietly in his palm.
The rich fragrance of cinnabar instantly filled the entire secret room.
Qian Xunji only took one sniff and felt that the soul power in his body had subtly improved!
His pupils suddenly contracted!
What kind of elixir is this!
Ning Lin gazed at Bibi Dong, a confident smile playing on his lips.
"Now, the pill is complete."
Bibi Dong stared blankly at the pill, at Ning Lin's trusting eyes.
All the worries and despair transformed into ecstasy and emotion at this moment!
She didn't hesitate at all!
With a flash, he arrived in front of Ning Lin, picked up the pill, and swallowed it in one gulp!
