Just now, most of the Spiritual Energy was used up, and at this moment, Lingfeng's body had already begun to weaken. Struggling to take a step forward, he picked up the giant bird's inner dan. The inner dan was blood red but only the size of a fingernail.
Lingfeng found it quite strange and sat down on the ground, placing the giant bird's red inner dan in the palm of his hand.
"You strange bird, I thought you were quite old, but I didn't expect your inner dan to be smaller than the Fire Serpent's Inner Dan!" Lingfeng mocked. Then he thought that since it was concentrated, perhaps the giant bird's inner dan was a concentrated essence!
He then imitated what he learned from Xuanji, ate a bit of Ginseng Tendril, and began to sit cross-legged in meditation.
Before long, the Ginseng Tendril started to fuse with Lingfeng's body, gradually replenishing the emptiness within him. Lingfeng felt increasingly comfortable, losing the previous sense of depletion. Feeling lazy, he didn't want to continue moving forward and gradually entered a state of cross-legged sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Lingfeng felt a mysterious warm current flowing through his meridians, eventually returning to his Dantian.
Suddenly, Lingfeng jolted awake. In this desolate place, how could there be a flow of True Qi entering his body? Even if the Ginseng Tendril had been absorbed, it wouldn’t circulate automatically without Lingfeng’s control.
He opened his eyes and saw someone anxiously staring at him. In the darkness, that person blinked without stopping, startling Lingfeng into a scream.
"Ah!" Lingfeng exclaimed in fright.
"Ah," the person also shouted and then angrily said, "What are you screaming for? Did Dahei encounter a ghost?"
Seeing it was Enchanting, Lingfeng naturally felt delighted. Just as he was about to stand up and greet Enchanting warmly, he heard someone behind him say, "Don't move!"
Lingfeng was pleasantly surprised; it turned out that the Qing Sect Leader had arrived and was behind him supplying True Qi.
After a while, the Qing Sect Leader finally let go and muttered in confusion, "There is a strange power within you that seems to be resisting my Spiritual Energy. Moreover, when I touched you just now, a layer of purple protective membrane appeared!"
Lingfeng knew that was the power of Falling Leaf Technique but didn’t dare to break it; his heart raced. He deliberately scratched his head and playfully smiled, "It's nothing; it’s probably just due to the effects of my two inner dans here!" He thought that since he didn’t know what it was anyway, it would be better to mislead him.
However, Lingfeng recalled that the purple aura he and Enchanting had previously came from Azure Vine. If that were true now, Azure Vine would have suspicions of Demon Cultivation; after all, Azure had eaten more salt than Enchanting had rice—how could he possibly deceive him?
However, at that moment, Enchanting felt a bit strange. Just as she was about to speak, she noticed Lingfeng making faces at her, so the words she was about to say got swallowed back down.
Hearing that Lingfeng had obtained two inner elixirs, her eyes brightened, and she quickly said, "Where are your inner elixirs? Let me take a look!"
Upon hearing this, Lingfeng hurriedly took the inner elixirs out from Xuanji.
The two inner elixirs were one bright red and the other blood red. One was the size of a chicken egg, and the other was the size of a thumbnail, both shimmering with radiant colors and abundant Spiritual Energy.
As Qing held the inner elixirs in her hand to admire them, her eyes grew brighter and finally, she excitedly asked, "Lingfeng, where did you get these two inner elixirs?"
"I killed two spirit beasts today and got these two inner elixirs!" Lingfeng replied.
Qing was taken aback for a moment, then laughed skeptically and asked, "You killed spirit beasts?"
Seeing Qing's expression, Lingfeng was unwilling to back down. Pouting her lips high, she snatched the inner elixirs back and argued, "Of course I killed the spirit beasts! Otherwise, how could I have obtained these two inner elixirs?" In fact, it was the Fire Serpent that had been killed by that giant bird.
Qing's eyes darted around as she stroked her beard and said, "This bright red inner elixir is from the Fire Serpent, while that blood red one is from the Lightning Eagle. These two types of spirit beasts are incompatible with each other. From the color and size of these inner elixirs, I can tell that the Lightning Eagle's cultivation level is much higher than that of the Fire Serpent. It seems you benefited from someone else's hard work!" With that, she squinted her eyes and smiled at Lingfeng.
Feeling guilty under Qing's gaze, Lingfeng deliberately turned her eyes elsewhere, her face feeling hot. If it weren't dark outside, it would have been obvious how embarrassed she was.
"By the way, how did you all get here?" Lingfeng seized the opportunity to change the subject.
This time it was Enchanting's turn to speak.
Upon hearing Lingfeng's question, Enchanting grabbed Lingfeng's ear as if she wanted to twist it off and sternly said, "How dare you ask! What did I tell you when you left back then?"
Lingfeng yelped in pain. Hearing Enchanting's question reminded her that she had forgotten to write to her, so she quickly said, "Of course I remember! It was just to write you a letter!"
"How can you even say that?" Enchanting grew angrier and even seemed to sniffle a bit, but her grip on Lingfeng's ear didn't loosen.
Lingfeng saw that Enchanting was really angry and, not daring to be mischievous anymore, gently explained, "My dear, there are too many things happening right now. I really don't have time to write you a letter!" He then clarified everything that had occurred.
Upon hearing Lingfeng's words, Enchanting was half-convinced and hurriedly asked, "Did you really pass by Wisteria Mountain?"
"Yes," Lingfeng answered sincerely.
Enchanting looked at Azure Vine, her eyes revealing a look of confusion.
Not understanding the situation, Lingfeng turned his gaze toward Azure Vine.
Azure Vine sighed and said, "We just passed by Wisteria Mountain and found that it was a Fire Sea. Most of the mountain has been burned away, leaving only one peak!"
A chill ran down Lingfeng's spine as he solemnly asked, "Do you know what exactly happened?"
Azure Vine shook his head in confusion and replied, "I only extinguished the remaining fire, but I didn't see anyone. I did see a cave in a Gorge, but there was no one inside!" After thinking for a moment, Qing You added, "It seems that the people there must have escaped during the fire!"
"That's not right!" Lingfeng felt something was amiss, an inexplicable sense of foreboding creeping in. He said, "Master, take me to Wisteria Mountain, and then you and Enchanting can go back!"
"Don't!" Enchanting blurted out. Although her tone was firm, she was acting coy.
Lingfeng frowned and gently held Enchanting's shoulders, saying softly, "This matter arose because of me; how can I just stand by? Compared to my friends who were captured by that Ziren, I must go back to save them!"
Seeing Lingfeng's resolute attitude, Enchanting stamped her feet anxiously. She turned to Azure Vine and said, "Master, why don't you help Lingfeng out?"
Although Azure Vine had high cultivation, sometimes it wasn't easy for him to lend a hand. While he knew about the matter concerning Ziren, he didn't take it seriously. However, if they were to engage in battle and win, it would inevitably be seen as unfair. Still, if he could secretly assist Lingfeng without letting him get hurt, that was something he could do.
Thus, Azure Vine nodded and said, "Don't worry; I will accompany you. When the time comes for me to act, I will naturally assist you!"
Feeling grateful, Lingfeng nodded in agreement. The three of them then boarded the Flying Sword, heading toward the direction of Wisteria Mountain.
On the road, in the vast darkness of the night, Qing dared not fly too fast. Moreover, the Flying Sword was carrying three people, so it flew at a lower altitude.
Once the direction of the Flying Sword was stabilized, Qing recalled Lingfeng's Phoenix Pearl and asked, "Do you know what the Phoenix Pearl is?"
Naturally, Lingfeng did not know what the Phoenix Pearl was, but speculated, "I guess it might be some kind of spirit beast's egg!"
"Yes!" Qing nodded and said, "In the Cultivation Realm, there is a spirit beast called the Fire Phoenix! This spirit beast undergoes a rebirth every thirty thousand years, transforming into a spirit stone each time, known as the Phoenix Pearl. It can only break free from the stone and transform back into a Fire Phoenix when it encounters someone fated to it!"
Hearing this, Lingfeng was overjoyed. However, since the Phoenix Pearl in his hand only emitted colorful light and did not transform into a Fire Phoenix, he asked in confusion, "But the Phoenix Pearl in my hand hasn't transformed into a Fire Phoenix. Why is that?"
Qing explained, "Because the Fire Phoenix needs to be reborn through fire, and its fated person must possess powerful fire control abilities. Moreover, the place for its rebirth is in the Divine Descendants Sanctuary, where there is a volcano that burns with hellfire all year round. If you want the Fire Phoenix to be reborn, you must go there!"
"Powerful fire control abilities!" Lingfeng was unsure if his fire control abilities were considered strong enough and lost some confidence.
Qing said, "Actually, the Five Elemental Spells of the Demon Suppression Sect are just superficial skills; your fire control ability doesn't even reach that level! So you need to practice diligently if you want to have a chance for the Fire Phoenix to be reborn in the future!"
Lingfeng couldn't help but wonder; if the Five Elemental Spells of the Demon Suppression Sect were merely superficial skills, what would true Five Elemental Spells be like?
Before long, the three had arrived at Wisteria Mountain.
The once serene Wisteria Mountain now had no signs of tranquility; only charred wood covered the mountain, with smoke lingering in the air.
Lingfeng felt anxious and hurried to the cave. However, there were no signs of a struggle inside; everything was still neatly arranged, indicating that Ziren had not found this place.
"It seems they were forced out of the mountain by fire and then captured!" Azure Vine observed thoughtfully upon seeing this situation.
"Forced out of the mountain?" Lingfeng frowned and suddenly noticed a Horn on the table.
Lingfeng picked up the Horn and examined it closely, murmuring, "This Horn has always been with Brother Bear and Tongzi. It seems Ziren and the others really haven't found this place!" With that, he ran outside and blew into the Horn.
After a while, a long bird call suddenly echoed from above, and soon the figure of the Crane Beast appeared, circling in the air.
Lingfeng was overjoyed and shouted, "Crane Beast, I'm here!"
The Crane Beast performed a flip and swooped down with a whoosh, landing on the ground.
Upon seeing Lingfeng, the Crane Beast let out a hissing cry, as if it had found a long-lost relative.
Lingfeng gently stroked the feathers of the Crane Beast, feeling an indescribable sorrow in his heart. He wanted to ask about Bear Brute's whereabouts, but the Crane Beast couldn't speak, so he had to give up.
Azure Insight, knowledgeable and well-informed, recognized the Crane Beast and said, "This Crane Beast is a spiritual beast with intelligence; perhaps it knows where Bear Brute and the others are!"
Lingfeng nodded in agreement and then clasped his fists, saying, "Master, let's go now!"
"Alright!" The Master agreed without hesitation, displaying a chivalrous demeanor.
Thus, Lingfeng rode on the Crane Beast while Qing and Enchanting rode on the Flying Sword, heading towards Bai Family Town.
