Chapter 54 The Nine Absolute Flowers of Ten Thousand Years of Azure Phosphorus
For the next two weeks, Lin Feng devoted almost all his attention to alchemy.
Under his increasingly sophisticated control, the extreme cold of the icy spring and the blazing fire of the yang spring were no longer destructive forces, but were transformed into natural fuels for refining medicinal power.
"Freeze!"
He let out a low shout, and the halo of crimson and ice-blue light that was suspended in front of him suddenly contracted.
Several medicinal herbs suspended within quickly melted and merged, eventually condensing into three blue pills the size of longan fruits, their surfaces shimmering with a faint halo.
It then fell into the jade bottle he had prepared beforehand, emitting a refreshing medicinal fragrance.
"It's done again?" Tang Ya, who had been quietly watching over the side, came closer and looked at the jade bottle with curiosity.
In the past two weeks, she watched Lin Feng go from repeatedly failing and burning medicine residue everywhere to now being able to consistently refine spirit-grade pills. His progress was terrifying.
"Hmm, this Soul-Cleansing Pill should effectively suppress the dark power within you. Its medicinal properties are much milder than before." Lin Feng wiped the thin layer of sweat from his forehead, handed her the jade bottle, but his eyes still held a thoughtful expression. "However, I still have no clue about those few truly immortal herbs. Taking them directly seems wasteful; let's search for some advanced medicinal formulas."
"It's alright, our Xiaofeng has already done a great job." Tang Ya took the pill and swallowed it without worry.
During these past two weeks, she hadn't slacked off in her own cultivation. Her Blue Silver Grass martial soul, like the plants in the valley, had benefited from the blessings of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and her cultivation had accelerated considerably.
"Xiao Feng, I have good news for you." Tang Ya looked at Lin Feng and said earnestly, "I just upgraded my soul power to level 50!"
Lin Feng replied in surprise, "So fast?! That Azure Phosphorous Nine Absolute Flower would be a great choice as your spirit ring; it's something that all plant-type spirit masters dream of. But we'll have to ask that senior if he agrees."
The predecessor he was referring to was that 100,000-year-old Jade Phosphorus Nine-fold Flower.
The two arrived at the edge of the Seven Wonders of Azure Phosphorescent Flower Sea, and Lin Feng respectfully expressed his purpose.
After a moment of silence, the aged yet authoritative voice rang out: "The little girl from Blue Silver Grass wants a soul ring—"
"Considering your help in reuniting the dragon soul and purifying the malevolent energy of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, I will grant your request."
"Thank you so much for your kindness, senior! I am grateful for your selfless act of sacrificing your own family!" Lin Feng immediately clasped his hands in thanks.
"Sacrificing family for the greater good?" The voice of the 100,000-year-old Azure Phosphorus Nine Absolute Flower was unreadable, stating calmly, "If we were hunting other soul beasts in the valley, those old guys would definitely not agree. But this sea of flowers has been one with the same origin since the day I broke through to 100,000 years of cultivation. Giving you a branch now is just breaking a leaf, it won't harm the root."
As the words fell, the entire expanse of the Seven Wonders of Azure Phosphorescent Flowers swayed slightly, as if in resonance.
Tang Ya immediately felt a strange connection between herself and one of the Azure Phosphorus Nine Absolute Flowers, which had a cultivation of about 15,000 years.
"Thank you very much, senior." Tang Ya said sincerely.
After taking a deep breath, Tang Ya walked towards the Ten Thousand Year Green Phosphorus Nine Absolute Flower that had resonated with her.
The acquisition process went exceptionally smoothly. The black soul ring slowly merged into her body, and the powerful poison surged forth, but it quickly became tamed under the guidance and soothing influence of the 100,000-year-old Jade Phosphorus Nine Absolute Flower, and began to fuse with the original power of her Blue Silver Grass.
Time passed quietly, and the light of the chosen Azure Phosphorus Nine-fold Flower in the valley gradually faded, eventually withering away.
Just then, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Tang Ya, who was sitting quietly.
Her soul power fluctuated violently before gradually calming down and stabilizing.
Five spirit rings rose up from beneath her feet in succession: one and two yellow, two purple, and a brand new, deep black spirit ring!
Tang Ya opened her eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.
She officially entered the Soul King realm, and her soul power soared to level fifty-two!
"Thank you for your kindness, senior!"
Lin Feng and Tang Ya turned towards the depths of the sea of flowers and solemnly bowed.
A gentle breeze swept through the valley, rustling the emerald green flowers as if in response.
"Unconsciously, I've been here for a month. It's time to go back to the academy," Lin Feng said softly, gazing back in the direction of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
"Yes, the holiday is almost over." Tang Ya stood beside him and nodded gently.
"Let's go!" Lin Feng wrapped his arm around Tang Ya and lifted her up steadily around the waist.
The pair of wings formed from the divine bird's true fire suddenly unfurled behind them. With a flap of their wings, the two soared into the sky, quickly passing over the deadly sea of Azure Phosphorescent Seven Absolute Flowers below.
With the tacit approval of the 100,000-year-old Jade Phosphorus Nine Absolute Flowers, the sea of flowers was calm and the poisonous clouds made way for it.
The wind howled as they flew rapidly. Tang Ya was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke: "Before returning to the academy—"
I want to settle something.
Lin Feng's mind stirred slightly, and he had already guessed a bit: "The Iron Blood Sect?"
"Hmm." Tang Ya's voice lowered, and she said through gritted teeth, "As far as I know, the Iron Blood Sect currently only has one Soul Emperor and two Soul Kings in charge. And they all relied on drugs to force their way up—"
She paused, her soul power fluctuating slightly, and a wisp of extremely faint black energy escaped but was quickly suppressed by her: "The soul ring of the Azure Phosphorus Nine Absolute Flower has caused my Blue Silver Grass to undergo a terrifying evolution—now I am confident that I can face that Soul Emperor."
She raised her head and looked at Lin Feng, her eyes filled with suppressed pain and determination: "This blood feud, every second I wait, the more torment I suffer."
Seeing her increasingly unsteady breathing and the almost tangible hatred in her eyes, Lin Feng understood.
The root of this deeply ingrained dark power lies in that tragedy and blood feud. Without resolving this hatred, her inner demons will remain, let alone eradicating this dark power.
Lin Feng tightened his arms around her, holding her even closer, and said in a steady voice, "I'll go with you."
With their current strength, dealing with those mediocre members of the Iron Blood Sect shouldn't be too much of a problem.
After leaving Sunset Forest, the two traveled at high speed, heading straight for the capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire—Heavenly Dou City.
Tian Dou City, this magnificent imperial capital, is both the birthplace of Tang Ya and the place that holds all her beautiful childhood memories; yet it is also the beginning of all her nightmares.
Five years ago, the Iron Blood Sect bribed the city's defenses and launched a surprise attack on the Tang Clan under cover of night. Fire, screams, blood—overnight, the sect was destroyed, and parents perished.
At only a thousand years old, she was the sole survivor of that massacre.
The Tang Clan, which has stood for millennia, has come to its utter end.
Thinking of this, Tang Ya's vision blurred, and tears rolled down her cheeks silently.
Later, she secretly returned to this place of sorrow several times. With a sliver of hope, she sought out her father's old friends and acquaintances. But when they saw her, they avoided her as if she were a plague, hastily closing their doors, afraid of having any connection with her whatsoever.
In just five short years, the landscape remains the same, but people's hearts have grown cold.
She saw through the coldness and warmth of human relationships and tasted the bitterness of loneliness and helplessness.
Now, she has broken through to the Soul King realm. The enemies she once feared can now be looked at as equals.
She is the only one left in her lineage. The Tang Clan no longer bears the Tang surname, so it's meaningless. As Lin Feng said, the Tang Clan has already fulfilled its historical mission.
Now, she has only one thought in her mind—revenge.
Lin Feng was also filled with emotion.
The Tang Clan's decline to this point is largely due to the actions of that old dog Tang San.
He uttered some blatant words that were against the natural order and human nature, and then destroyed the most powerful part of the Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons, as well as the Poison and Medicine Classics in the Xuan Tian Treasure Record.
It's just to whitewash their past dirty tricks and leave a good impression on future generations.
