Chapter 188 - Sparkling Diamond of Fire (1/2)

“Sorry that I mistook you…” It’s easy to realize the mistake, but Lin feels awkward to apologize to the foxes.

Lin Luoran knows now that she is not always right, and she is embarra.s.sed. The white fox just looks at Lin quietly. The cyan fox is too young to understand why Lin is saying sorry. It is only happy that Lin is here.

Lin looks at the cyan little fox with regret. Humans are strange. To be frank, the cyan fox was wrong for stealing the sealwort even though it tried to help a man. However, when the man it tried to save is Lin’s friend, Lin can’t help feeling thankful.

She squats down and checks on Wen. Lin is worried because he seems to be in a bad condition.

He is burning up!

No wonder he looks lifeless. Covered with mud, his face is burning up like a furnace. He looks pale. Lin touches Wen’s forehead and her hand is almost burned. Wen is a cultivator in the level of Training Qi. There is no way that he just has a favor. The wounds on his body are scary, but most of the wounds have stopped bleeding thanks to the foxes — something must be wrong inside his body!

Lin infuses a stream of Reiki into Wen from his wrist. As soon as the Reiki goes in, Lin is startled by the agitated fire Reiki inside of Wen. How can these fire Reiki be so strong? If Lin weren’t in the level of Laying Foundation, she would be backfired by these fire Reiki!

She has to know how Wen ends up like this before save him. Wen may lose his cultivation if the strong fire Reiki stay too long inside of his body.

“Where did you find him?”

From the wounds on Wen’s body, Lin a.s.sumes that the foxes have been helping him for days. Maybe they were the ones who first found him.

The white fox is short of energy and it lives on the wood Reiki Lin gave to it. Therefore, the cyan fox must be the one to show Lin the way. The two of them walk out of the cave. The inhibition ripples. Lin wonders what the harmless inhibition is able to do.

The cyan fox is familiar with the tunnels. It leads Lin to a place. The fox stops at a distance and doesn’t dare to go ahead. Lin feels the strong fire Reiki — the same as those in Wen’s body.

Lin tells the fox to stay outside and walks into the cave alone.

Out of her expectation, there is no flame. The cave is lighted up and the temperature is extremely high. Lin, who normally doesn’t sweat very much, is soaked. This is a cave that extends downwards. The entire cave is so bright that Lin thinks there must be a big fire at the bottom. She looks into it and only sees a peaceful little flame.

The Bright Sword in Lin’s hand becomes agitated.

The Bright Sword has the nature of water. As a Grade Five magical weapon, it has the ability to grow. It’s normal that the flying sword has spirit. But this is the first time the Bright Sword has ever acted so anxiously.

What on earth is the flame?

The nature of water and fire mutually restrains each other. This little flame gets on the Bright Sword’s nerve…

Out of no reason, the word “Strange Fire” appears in Lin’s mind. The word is mentioned in Weapon Introduction that Strange Fire is the driving force of alchemy furnace… Lin suddenly understands. Just now, she checked the inside of Wen. There were no Reiki in other natures but the restless fire ones. Does Wen have the single Taoist root of fire?

In the back alley of Blue Bird club and during the trip to the secret land, Wen Guanjing only has cast fire spells except for the magic figures. His Taoist root must be pure fire.

No wonder he could reach the later stage of Training Qi in his thirties. He is really a talent in the world of cultivation.

Lin looks around again. The wall is full of stones sharp like spikes. The wounds on Wen’s body must be caused by these stones. What about his internal injuries? Wen Guanjing should be aware of the value of Strange Fire. Maybe something went wrong when he tried to catch the fire?

This is only Lin’s guesses. Clearly, Wen failed to catch it.

Also, he was backfired. Now, she has to calm down the fire Reiki inside of him or take the Strange Fire out.

Suddenly, something comes to Lin’s mind. She raises her right hand and casts a glance at the bead. The bead is doing nothing unusual. Since she laid foundation in the blood pool at the dungeon, the bead has become much more obedient. It used to absorb crazily whenever there is Reiki. It even acted like a starving man when it absorbed the Reiki in Fatty Cui’s jade.
