Relying on the "Burning Heaven Art" and "Gengjin Qi", Lin Yan managed to reach a relative balance with Li Huo, each trying to devour the other.
Time passed slowly. For Lin Yan at this moment, he was enduring the torment of the blazing fire all the time, and then his injuries were slowly repaired by the "Deadwood Jue", and he endured this pain repeatedly.
Even with the protection of "Gengjin Qi", the meridians in Lin Yan's body were still twisted and deformed by the burning of Lihuo. The high temperature emanating from the body caused the high-grade armor to begin to melt. , it’s hard to imagine how the human body can support it!
In the following time, Lin Yan's consciousness fell into a trance. He knew that once he completely lost control of his body, he would be burned into a piece of coke and become the nutrient of this Lihuo.
There was a touch of warmth and coolness in the sea of consciousness, which was the effect of "Withered Wood Technique". He forcibly cheered up and faced off with Li Huo.
This is a critical moment. Whoever fails to hold on first will fail and have nothing!
Fortunately, Lin Yan's flame resistance is constantly improving, and the effect of Li Huo on him is also weakening at an imperceptible speed.
Half a month later, in the dark space of the deep well, there was only a faint flash of firelight, outlining a vague figure. He was as motionless as a sculpture at the moment. If it weren't for the faint sound of breathing, anyone would have thought it was a lifeless corpse.
If it were an ordinary person, trapped here for so many days without food or water, he would probably have reported to the Lord of Hell long ago!
Although Lin Yan's Xiantian realm cultivation prevents him from going to a dead end because of this kind of thing, he must always be alert and engage in a high-intensity tug-of-war with Li Huo. At this time, Lin Yan is already about to die. I can't hold on any longer!
Similarly, Li Huo's condition is not very good. Most of its original fire has been refined by Lin Yan. As long as it persists, it is a foregone conclusion that it will be completely refined!
However, Li Huo obviously will not give up resistance. On the contrary, the more desperate it is, the more intense its counterattack will be. It is like a beast forced to a desperate end, and it can only fight to the death!
Lin Yan detected a ray of consciousness and sent out the message: "That's it! If you continue, your intelligence will be completely wiped out."
Lihuo Suzaku's response came: "Even if we both die together, I won't let you, a human being, get what you want!"
The idea it conveyed was particularly radical, leaving no room for negotiation. It was clear that he would fight Lin Yangang to the end.
In fact, it's normal to think about it. After being trapped here for decades, a human suddenly comes in and wants to refine it. Who can accept this!
Lin Yan said: "We don't have to fight to the death, there is a better way!"
Without waiting for Lihuo Suzaku's response, he continued: "As long as you agree to follow me, I will not refine your spiritual intelligence. Moreover, I also promise that as long as I achieve what I want, I will set you free and help you repair your spiritual intelligence." Wisdom, become a real life form!"
Today's Lihuo Suzaku is only a spiritual intelligence generated by a touch of will of the original Suzaku. It is not complete. It is extremely difficult to become a truly independent life form. If it wants to do this, it may take countless time to complete it. !
Therefore, Lin Yan's proposal is still very attractive to it! However, it will not trust human words easily. After all, humans themselves will not easily trust their fellow humans.
Lihuo Zhuque's thoughts came out: "How to believe it?"
Lin Yan knew there was something going on as soon as he heard this, and continued to persuade: "I will let you settle in the Dantian and retain part of your own power. If I don't fulfill my promise, you can burn me out of my body. How about it?"
Lihuo Suzaku paused and seemed to be lost in thought. It felt that what this human said seemed to make sense. Moreover, once the other party regrets it, it still has the power to resist.
If this human being can keep his promise, then he can escape from this ghost place and regain his freedom. At that time, the world is so big, who can trap me?
Finally, it nodded and stopped burning, and after Lin Yan confirmed that Lihuo Suzaku had agreed, he began to continue refining. With the cooperation of Lihuo Suzaku, things went much smoother. After another three days, Lin Yan finally refined two-thirds of Lihuo's power, leaving only one third still in Lihuo Suzaku. within the control.
The Lihuo Suzaku lives on a towering tree above the soil. Although its power is now greatly reduced, it has autonomy. Once he has any evil thoughts and strikes from within, Lin Yan will definitely suffer heavy losses!
This is a big gamble! This move took great risks, but also reaped huge benefits!
Not to mention mastering the rare objects of heaven and earth such as "Nanming Lihuo", just refining two-thirds of the power, and the majestic energy contained in it allowed Lin Yan to jump into the middle stage of the innate realm. If we were to practice normally, we still don’t know how long it will take.
When being scorched by flames, the meridians in Lin Yan's body were widened a lot, allowing more energy from heaven and earth to pass through. This made him mobilize his power several times faster, and his role in battle was particularly crucial!
This painful experience was no less than a cleansing of the menstrual marrow. Many impurities in the body were excreted, and later repaired by the "Deadwood Jue", making his current body even more perfect, shining with a bright white color, and his skin was better than that of a woman. No less impressive!
But there was one thing: his hair was burned away in the flames, and now it turned into a shiny bald head!
"What a sin! How can I see anyone like this?" Lin Yan reached out and touched the bare head of his head, feeling speechless.
"But should I say it, it feels pretty good!" He shook his head and got rid of all the messy thoughts in it.
Now that things have finally come to an end, fortunately, there is no danger, and Li Huo can basically be used by him!
Although there were quite a few hidden dangers, it was harmless. He had no intention of deceiving the mentally retarded little Suzaku anyway.
Qiu Lao nodded happily. He has always been very satisfied with this disciple and has never let him down!
"It's time to go out! Mingya and the others should be worried after being away for so long!" Lin Yan said softly, then jumped up and flew upward...
Feng Lao, who was standing outside, was always paying attention to the movements in the dark space under the deep well. If he could not still feel Lin Yan's breath, he would not be able to help but rush in.
Even so, he couldn't control his emotions several times. After all, Lin Yan had been in for too long. Who can guarantee that nothing will happen?
He has made up his mind. If there is no movement today, he will go in and investigate the situation at all costs!
At this moment, there was sudden movement from below. Feng Lao's expression changed and he thought, "Could it be that Lin Yan failed and Li Huo rushed up?"
Because Feng Lao could clearly feel the familiar hot aura, Li Huo had been sealed here for many years, and he would never mistake this aura!
Just when Feng Lao was gathering his energy and preparing to activate the seal to suppress it, a familiar figure appeared in the six-pillar light cage.
Lin Yan looked at Mr. Feng, who was waiting for him, and touched his nose awkwardly, saying, "Mr. Feng, what are you doing..."
The latter was stunned for a moment, and then asked uncertainly: "Did you succeed?"
Lin Yan said: "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life!"
It took Feng Lao a while to digest the news and said: "You kid, you are really unexpected!"
This Lihuo has been sealed here for many years. No one wants to take advantage of it, but all of them are swallowed up by the flames. No one can accomplish such a feat!
The hexagonal token was pressed on the stone platform, Feng Lao removed the six-pillar light cage, and Lin Yan slowly stepped out of it.
He solemnly raised his hands to Mr. Feng and said: "Old Feng, this time I owe the academy a huge favor. If anything happens to the academy in the future, I will go through fire and water. At the same time, I will give you all the corresponding compensation!"
Feng Lao waved his hand and said: "There is no need to compensate or anything like that. You are a student of my academy, so you are a heretic by saying this!"
"Furthermore, this Lihuo Seal has been here for many years, and no one can surrender it. By taking it away, you have solved a hidden danger in the academy. To be honest, compensation and other things are only for those pedantic old guys. Yes, don’t take it seriously!”
"It's just that if one day the academy is in trouble, I hope you can protect the students of the academy. These seeds are the hope and foundation of my academy!"
Lin Yan nodded solemnly and said, "I'll do whatever it takes!"
Feng Lao smiled and said: "Okay, it's time for us to go!"
The two figures disappeared in a flash, and the place returned to darkness. Perhaps no one would come again for many years!
…
Lin Yan hadn't gone back for so long, Ming Ya and the others were extremely anxious. Fortunately, on this day, that familiar figure appeared in front of her.
The girl didn't care about his improvement in strength. She was worried that Lin Yan would take risks regardless.
The responsibilities on the person in front of her are getting heavier and heavier. The girl sees it in her eyes, but it hurts in her heart.
Lin Yan held the girl in his arms. The latter's eyes were slightly red, and she hugged him tightly, enjoying the tenderness of this moment.
The others wisely stepped away, leaving space for these two people. At this moment, they only have each other!
The girl spoke: "Xiao Yanzi, I have something to tell you."
"When you were in coma during the battle in Chang'an, the dean's clone came to me and wanted to accept me as a closed disciple. I didn't want to leave you at that time, so I hesitated."
"But now, I want to give it a try!"
In fact, the fundamental reason is that the girl feels that there is very little she can do to help Lin Yan now. She wants to gain strength and stand with her beloved.
Lin Yan did not expect that such a situation would still exist at that time. The dean of the academy was extremely mysterious, but there was no doubt about his power. Being able to be accepted as a disciple was what many people dreamed of!
But the dean’s whereabouts are uncertain now, so how can he recruit disciples?
Ming Ya continued: "The dean left a legacy, which is in the academy. I have also greeted Vice Dean Meng before. After I have decided, I can enter the inheritance place. However, once I enter it, I will not pass the test. I just can’t leave!”
Lin Yan gently rubbed her head and said, "Don't force yourself, I support all the decisions you make!"
The girl nodded.
…
Three days later, after watching Lin Yan leave Chang'an, the girl resolutely stepped into the inheritance place...
