Chapter 1391 - 1388: Qi of the Five Elements, Mist Shadow Talisman

Crack...

As the blood cocoon’s rotation gradually slowed down, its surface gradually developed countless cracks, and finally shattered completely with a loud crash.

At the moment the blood cocoon shattered, puffs of multicolored mist floated from it, spreading in midair with a faint five-colored mysterious light, full of spiritual energy.

Buzz!

Seeing the multicolored mist about to be blown away by the wind, Luo Feng waved his hand, enveloping it with a shield of Gang Qi, quickly condensing it into a five-color Qi pill the size of a thumb.

The colors inside the Qi pill were constantly changing, like a rainbow in the sky, seemingly dreamlike.

This multicolored mist was the Five Elements Qi within the heart of the Five-Colored Glazed Toad, which was necessary for cultivating the fourth transformation of Divine Dragon Nine Changes, ’Five Elements Transformation’.

A single Qi pill contained too little Five Elements Qi, so Luo Feng didn’t immediately begin cultivating the Five Elements Transformation, but instead, stored the Qi pill in a jade bottle capable of sealing Yuan Qi, planning to cultivate it once prepared thoroughly in the future.

After storing away the jade bottle, Luo Feng said to Xuelian:

"Get ready, today we are leaving Melt Fire City."

"Yes." Xuelian nodded.

After a simple wash, Luo Feng and Xuelian stepped out of the courtyard gate.

In the courtyard plaza, Jiang Fengfeng, Su Zhuyun, and Yue Haitang were already waiting there.

"Good morning."

Seeing the three, Luo Feng greeted them and looked at Jiang Fengfeng, smiling: "Have you recovered from your injuries?"

"I wasn’t injured, just had a depletion of vital energy after using the Sword Heart Qi Fusion Technique."

Jiang Fengfeng pouted, patting the Silver Ling Sword at her waist, her beautiful eyes filled with a challenging flair as she looked at Luo Feng and said, "If you don’t believe it, we can spar. I heard that yesterday you had a confrontation with the top talent Liu Fufeng from the Dali Dynasty on the street, which ended evenly matched, causing a great stir throughout Melt Fire City."

"You all know about it?" Luo Feng said in surprise.

Yue Haitang nodded with a smile: "Yesterday evening, we went for a walk in the city and happened to hear about your confrontation with Liu Fufeng. However, by the time we got there, you had already left."

"I see."

Clang!

Jiang Fengfeng drew her sword and said to Luo Feng: "Luo Feng, let me see what level your strength has reached."

During this period, Luo Feng’s strength had been improving rapidly, causing Jiang Fengfeng to feel a faint sense of crisis in her heart, sensing that she was no longer a match for Luo Feng, thus wanting to verify it.

"Let’s postpone sparring for another time. Let’s leave Melt Fire City first."

Luo Feng shook his head, though he also wanted to see what level his strength had reached.

As a Silver Swordman from the Sword Tomb with cultivation reaching the fifth level pinnacle of the True Yuan Realm, Jiang Fengfeng was undoubtedly an excellent opponent. However, having only recently recovered from a major injury, now wasn’t suitable for combat, as a bout would certainly be cautious, unable to be enjoyed fully.

Jiang Fengfeng noticed Luo Feng’s intention, frowned in dissatisfaction, and was just about to speak in rebuttal when a sound of footsteps suddenly rang out, and Chixiao along with Chi Wei and Chi Yourong entered the courtyard.

"Seeing you all are ready, let’s set off now." Chixiao looked at the group and smiled.

With a flick, Jiang Fengfeng puckered her lips, reluctantly sheathed her sword after looking at Luo Feng.

Upon hearing Chixiao’s words, seemingly intending to accompany them, Luo Feng couldn’t help but be taken aback.

Beside him, Yue Haitang explained: "Luo Feng, Chixiao is heading south as well, coincidentally in the same direction as us, so he decided to travel with us, offering us a lift on the Green Jade Spirit Boat."

"Luo Feng, could it be that you don’t welcome me?" Chixiao approached and said with a faint smile.

Luo Feng shook his head: "Certainly not, I couldn’t wish for better."

Having Chixiao accompanying them was undoubtedly advantageous, with his Green Jade Spirit Boat providing transportation, saving them a lot of time, and allowing them to not worry about Yuan Qi consumption, focusing solely on cultivation, achieving two goals with one effort.

Chixiao laughed heartily, "Then let’s set off."

Speaking, Chixiao took out the Green Jade Spirit Boat from the storage ring, and the next moment, a flying boat more than thirty meters long appeared above the courtyard.

"Big brother, remember to come back and visit us when you have time." Seeing Chixiao about to leave, Chi Wei’s eyes couldn’t help but redden. With Sacred Land cultivation, a year was like a day’s time. The last time they met was already years ago; upon this departure, who knows when they would meet again.

Chixiao gently ruffled Chi Wei’s head and smiled: "Don’t worry, I won’t be gone for long this time. I should be back for the Sacred Land selection."

"Okay."

Nodding slightly, Chi Wei hesitated for a moment and said to Luo Feng, "Luo Feng, Melt Fire City will always welcome you. And... please apologize to her on my behalf."

Luo Feng knew she was referring to Qing Ling and nodded, saying, "I will relay the message."

After speaking, Luo Feng’s figure flickered, and he had already reached the Green Jade Spirit Boat.

A moment later, a streak of thunder light illuminated the sky above the courtyard, and the Green Jade Spirit Boat soared into the sky, disappearing into the clouds in the blink of an eye.

On the Green Jade Spirit Boat, flying steadily above the clouds, Chixiao said to everyone:

"I have business in the War Dragon Dynasty and will take you to the border of Out Cloud Country."

After speaking, Chixiao suddenly turned his gaze and looked at Xuelian, then said to Luo Feng, "Luo Feng, come over here."

Luo Feng realized that what Chixiao wanted to say was related to Xuelian and walked over.

"Luo Feng, Xuelian is a Blood Fiend. Have you ever considered the consequences of keeping her by your side?" Chixiao said directly.

He had seen Xuelian control a Blood Corpse and had long known Xuelian’s true identity.

Luo Feng glanced at Xuelian and nodded, "I know."

"No, you don’t know."

Chixiao shook his head and continued, "Back then, when the Nine Great Sacred Grounds fought against the Demon Sect, countless Blood Demons were born, causing devastation across the entire Hundred Nations territory, with severe casualties for the Nine Great Sacred Grounds. Many worldly Martial Artists and even disciples of the Sacred Grounds hold extreme animosity towards the Blood Demon lineage. If people discover your relationship with her, you will surely be implicated. Moreover, the Blood Demon lineage is incredibly cunning and deceitful. I advise you to sever ties with her, or better yet, make her disappear from this world to eliminate future troubles."

Luo Feng furrowed his brow slightly, thought for a moment, and then shook his head, "The past events have nothing to do with her. She is now my servant girl, and I don’t care whether she is human or a Blood Demon."

He had an agreement with Xuelian, and naturally, he wouldn’t break his promise. Moreover, to cultivate the Five Elements Transformation, he still needed Xuelian to refine the Pure Yin Blood Energy from the heart of the Five-Colored Glazed Toad.

In view of both feelings and principles, he wouldn’t act according to Chixiao’s words. To betray trust due to danger would be the act of a vile person.

Chixiao smiled helplessly, "I guessed you would answer like this. This is the Illusion Sect’s Misty Shadow Talisman; let her carry it on her. As long as she doesn’t actively expose herself, even ordinary Sacred Ground disciples won’t be able to see through her true form. Besides, you need to get her to step into the Blood Demon realm as soon as possible; that’s the only way to be relatively safe."

Speaking, Chixiao took out a jade talisman two fingers long and wide.

The jade talisman was covered with countless intricate patterns, with faint mist on its surface; it seemed both near and far, both real and illusory, extremely mysterious.

Luo Feng took the jade talisman and said seriously, "Chixiao, thank you."

"Haha, no need to thank me. Consider it as a token of gratitude for saving Chi Wei. I was initially planning to arrange a marriage between you two, but it seems you two are destined but not meant to be," Chixiao laughed and shook his head, feeling quite regretful for not being able to facilitate the marriage between Luo Feng and Chi Wei.

Luo Feng smiled wryly, not expecting Chixiao to still think about this matter.

After bidding farewell to Chixiao, Luo Feng found Xuelian in a secluded part of the Spirit Boat.

"Xuelian, this is the Misty Shadow Talisman; it can hide your Blood Demon aura. Wear it," Luo Feng handed the Misty Shadow Talisman to Xuelian.

Xuelian looked at the Misty Shadow Talisman in Luo Feng’s hand, her gaze flickered slightly, then she suddenly knelt down, "Xuelian thanks you, young master."

Luo Feng was taken aback, then instantly said, "You heard it all?"

Xuelian nodded slightly. Her perception was inherently sharp, coupled with her essence blood in Luo Feng’s body, she had clearly heard the conversation between Luo Feng and Chixiao, including Chixiao wanting Luo Feng to kill her to eliminate future troubles, and Luo Feng’s refusal.

"You don’t need to thank me for anything. I need you to help me, which is why I promised to spare your life."

Luo Feng shook his head, waved his hand to help Xuelian up, and said sincerely, "Following me, you’ll also face life and death."

"Xuelian will do her utmost."

Luo Feng nodded, handed the jade talisman to Xuelian, "Inject your Blood Qi into this."

"Yes."

Buzz!

Xuelian injected her Blood Qi into the jade talisman as instructed. The next moment, a strange sight appeared. Dense black fog emerged from the Misty Shadow Talisman, instantly enveloping Xuelian completely.

The black fog came quickly and disappeared just as fast, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye. Xuelian slightly closed her eyes, sensing for a moment before reopening them, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Luo Feng glanced at Xuelian. He could no longer sense any ominous aura, as if she were an ordinary human girl, only detectable with full use of soul power.

"Worthy of being a Sacred Ground item," Luo Feng admired from the bottom of his heart.
