Chapter 1646: Chapter 1645: Scalding Hot Spring Pool!
"Where is Lady Lin?"
Although Qin Feng missed his wife Xu Yunxiao dearly, it was crucial to seize every moment during this critical time.
"She’s in the hot springs."
Xu Yunxiao replied.
Qin Feng immediately rushed over and found that the hot springs were empty. "Isn’t she supposed to be here? Where could she have gone?"
"Oh, a few days ago, Lady Lin said she was studying array formations and opened a hole in the hot spring, supposedly extending underground, and she’s been researching in there ever since."
Xu Yunxiao replied.
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng inspected the hot springs carefully, noticing that they indeed seemed different from before.
The water temperature had become scorching.
Completely different from before.
"Then I will go down for a while."
Qin Feng said.
At this moment, Xiao Long’er, Lan Xin, and Yinuo, three little girls, came and hugged Qin Feng, saying, "Brother Qin Feng, don’t go down there; you’ll be scalded!"
"It’s fine."
Qin Feng comforted them and then turned to Rainbow and others, saying, "Weren’t they supposed to hide at Five Rings Mountain first?"
Rainbow shook her head and said, "They insisted on staying here."
"..."
Qin Feng sighed helplessly, realizing they, like Xu Yunxiao, were constantly worried about him.
Nothing he could do.
He had no choice but to let them be.
Qin Feng reached into the scorching pool and frowned.
He couldn’t use his powers at the moment and couldn’t withstand the heat of the water.
Luo Jinhong, noticing his frustration, stepped forward and said, "You can use the Mandarin Duck Treasure Book, and I’ll help you go down."
"Great!"
Qin Feng nodded.
Luo Jinhong, although occupying Linglong’s body and breaking her Startling Swan Sword Body during the battle against Emperor Wujian in the Kunlun Mist Cloud, still had cultivation above the Immortal Realm.
With her help, there should be no problem.
"But..."
Qin Feng suddenly thought of something and continued, "I’ve used the Mandarin Duck Treasure Book to heal Linglong before, but I haven’t done so with you, have I?"
"The Mandarin Duck Treasure Book is essentially a Yin Yang Circulation technique. As long as you’ve done it with Linglong, and you tell me how the technique works, I can use Linglong’s body to perform it."
Luo Jinhong replied.
"That makes sense. I’ll start reciting the technique’s mantra to you."
Qin Feng said.
At this moment.
He suddenly noticed Xu Yunxiao nearby, and immediately felt as if his hair stood on end.
Although Xu Yunxiao showed no expression, he worried about what she might be thinking and quickly explained with a pained expression, "Wife, you’ve got it wrong! I... I mean..."
Before he finished explaining, Xu Yunxiao smiled and shook her head at him, saying, "It’s okay, I understand."
"..."
Feeling reassured that she didn’t seem angry, Qin Feng finally felt a bit relieved.
Back when he and Xu Yunxiao were at Emperor Villa, he had mentioned the Mandarin Duck Treasure Book, and Xu Yunxiao knew that learning it required that interaction, although it didn’t happen with Luo Jinhong just now, it was evident that he had interacted with Linglong’s body...
This made Qin Feng shiver.
"I really understand, you don’t need to feel pressured. Truly, just focus on your tasks." Seeing Qin Feng still breaking out in cold sweat, Xu Yunxiao reassured him again.
"I-It’s good that there’s no problem..."
Qin Feng weakly sat cross-legged.
Following this.
He started teaching the mantra to Luo Jinhong, who also sat cross-legged, while trying to channel the powers of the Mandarin Duck Treasure Book.
Luo Jinhong had survived for thousands of years.
Her understanding of the technique far surpassed common people, trying to channel the technique with Linglong’s body, it indeed worked, the two could already achieve Consciousness Fusion!
Not only that.
They could also, like a pair normally cultivating the Mandarin Duck Treasure Book, mutually circulate the power within each other’s bodies.
"It’s ready now!"
Qin Feng had a part of Luo Jinhong’s power within him.
Testing the scorching pool water, he found he could withstand the temperature.
"I’ll go down with you two."
Wushuang said.
Qin Feng shook his head and said, "No, while your cultivation can handle the temperature, it’s still a bit lower, so it’d be more prudent for you to stay here."
With that.
Qin Feng and Luo Jinhong jumped into the scorching hot spring pool, gradually vanishing.
Wushuang felt somewhat disappointed.
As Qin Feng’s personal deputy general, multiple times she couldn’t accompany him due to her lower cultivation.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng’s growth was like a rocket.
If this continued, her position as the personal deputy general might be given to someone else.
Just then.
A little girl’s voice suddenly echoed in her mind, "Sister Wushuang, are you thinking about getting stronger?"
"Who is it??"
Wushuang was startled for a moment, then remembered the little girl, Little White, she encountered upon entering the Kunlun Mist Cloud.
Back then, Little White had occupied her body, and as the battle unfolded, she overlooked this matter, while Little White remained in slumber, not following those residual souls into Qin Feng’s Sumeru World.
"How could you exist in the outside world?"
Wushuang asked in surprise.
Normally, the residual souls leaving Kunlun Mist Cloud would not survive outside unless they were in Qin Feng’s Sumeru World.
Luo Jinhong managed it because Qin Feng had experienced Yin Yang Fusion with Linglong, thus his body contained the breath of Dragon Root, allowing Luo Jinhong’s survival.
But what about Little White?
"Because you’ve experienced that kind of relationship with Brother Qin Feng!"
Little White replied.
"Uh..."
Wushuang’s face turned beet red.
Why was she so oblivious, only realizing it when pointed out...
"Sister Wushuang, if you want to get stronger, I have a way." Little White continued.
"How do I break through?" Wushuang asked.
She had long since advanced from Sixth Grade Grandmaster to Ninth Grade Grandmaster, but compared to Qin Feng, her cultivation was still too low.
Thus, she was eager to break through to the Spirit King Realm.
"Here’s how..."
Little White began explaining.
...
In the hot spring pool.
With the assistance of Luo Jinhong’s power, the two swam through the tunnel.
After numerous twists and turns, they finally reached a space within the mountain.
The space was vast.
It’s illuminated by Luminous Pearls hanging on the walls.
Qin Feng recognized these Luminous Pearls that were from Five Rings Mountain’s storage, indicating that they were placed by Lady Lin.
"Let’s search nearby."
The two said.
Around the space, there were four tunnel openings.
The tunnel openings were all flowing downward like a waterfall.
Just then.
With a "splash," a person emitting Demonic Qi stumbled through one of the waterfall tunnels and collapsed onto the ground.
"A demon??"
Luo Jinhong raised her eyebrow upon seeing this, immediately condensing a longsword to strike.
But Qin Feng stopped her.
Qin Feng examined the demon closely, and frowned, "That’s Lady Lin."
"What? Isn’t this a demon?"
Luo Jinhong took another look at the demon, and asked skeptically.
Standing three meters tall, entirely black, in terms of appearance, facial features, and limbs, it was impossible to associate it with a "lady"...
