Chapter 179 Acquiring the Mysterious Fire Mirror and Fusing It Again
These actions and words were exactly the same as those of the three-tailed spirit fox, which made Ling Feng both amused and exasperated.
He quickly reached out and helped Xiao Liu up, while gently comforting him:
"Please rise quickly, there's no need to be so polite. Saving your life is something I could do, and it just so happens that I know this technique."
Seeing this, Xiao Liu stopped being stubborn and stood up with Ling Feng's help, but still firmly stated:
"Although this matter is as easy and effortless as it is for you, young master, it is an immense favor to me, like that of my second parents! Therefore, I will remember your life-saving grace for the rest of my life!"
His words were sincere and full of gratitude.
Seeing this, Ling Feng naturally refrained from saying anything more. Moreover, the other party was grateful, so obtaining the Xuanhuo Mirror would likely be easier in the future.
After all, they were now acquaintances, and Ling Feng couldn't very well forcibly take it from them.
However, this Xuanhuo Mirror is only one of the fragments, and he will never give it up no matter what.
Therefore, if he could easily acquire it, Ling Feng would be overjoyed.
After expressing his sincere gratitude to Ling Feng, Xiao Liu moved to the side of the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox and the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox and began to tell them about the hardships and suffering he had experienced over the years.
As for Biyao, although she is actually Xiao Liu's cousin, Xiao Liu is unaware of this kinship at the moment. He only thinks that she came with Ling Feng, so he doesn't pay much attention to her.
After the three of them talked for a while, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox gently pulled them along and slowly walked towards Biyao, introducing her to them.
The three-tailed fox was already well aware of their connection, so it didn't show much surprise.
However, Xiao Liu was stunned by the sudden appearance of her cousin, her heart filled with curiosity and doubt.
When Xiao Liu learned that the other party was actually the biological child of his aunt Xiao Chi, the astonishment on his face subsided slightly.
After all, ever since he escaped from Incense Valley in such a sorry state, he had spent almost all his time recuperating in this dark and deep Black Stone Cave.
Since then, he has lost contact with his aunt and has never seen her again.
Hearing that his aunt had given birth to a lovely daughter over the years was not entirely unexpected.
Afterwards, Xiao Liu and the three-tailed fox began to chat happily with their newly acquainted cousin.
Meanwhile, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox silently moved in front of Ling Feng.
She gazed at Ling Feng's resolute and composed face, and solemnly spoke:
"Regardless, I am truly grateful to you for saving Xiao Liu's life. I don't know how to repay your kindness!"
Ling Feng smiled slightly and comforted him:
"Please don't take it to heart. In fact, when I was expelling the fire toxin from his body, I also gained a lot of benefits myself."
Ling Feng's words were indeed true. Putting aside the gratitude he received from them, the tangible benefits he gained were already astonishing.
The fire poison he absorbed, combined with a small amount of Xiao Liu's original power, actually allowed Ling Feng to break through to the peak of the fourth level of the Refining Void and Harmonizing Dao realm in one fell swoop!
However, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was completely unaware of the mysteries and secrets involved.
She naively believed that Ling Feng's words were simply an attempt to ease his own mind.
This thought, on the contrary, made her gratitude towards Ling Feng even stronger.
After a moment of contemplation, she gazed at Ling Feng and asked solemnly:
“Even if what you say is true, we are helpless against the fire poison in Xiao Liu’s body, but you were able to successfully expel it. We will never forget this kindness. Is there anything we can do for you? Please feel free to speak.”
Having said all that, Ling Feng naturally no longer needed to feign humility.
He smiled slightly and said:
"Since you put it that way, then I do have a favor to ask."
"Oh? What is it? We will do our best to help, and we will not refuse."
Upon hearing that Ling Feng had a need, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was not displeased that Ling Feng might be seeking revenge for his kindness.
On the contrary, she looked determined and said she would do everything in her power to help.
Now that the words were out, Ling Feng naturally stopped being coy. He looked directly at the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox with clear eyes and spoke sincerely and directly:
"It's not a particularly difficult matter. It's just a matter of taking what others love. I want to obtain the Xuanhuo Mirror, the treasure of the Burning Incense Valley, which is in your possession. This item is quite useful to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the three-tailed spirit fox standing to the side quickly took out the Mystic Fire Mirror without hesitation and respectfully handed it to Ling Feng.
"If you need anything, please feel free to take it. To be honest, it would be difficult to fully unleash the power of such a divine object if it remained in our hands."
Upon hearing these words, Ling Feng's face showed gratitude, and he quickly thanked them.
"Thank you! This treasure is indeed of great use to me. I would never have taken it if I didn't really need it."
After saying that, Ling Feng reached out without hesitation and steadily took the Xuanhuo Mirror.
Just then, Ling Feng had a sudden thought, and immediately took out a large number of high-quality healing medicines and rare natural treasures from the mysterious system space, and handed them to Xiao Liu one by one.
"Here are some rare and precious herbs, all of which I collected when I traveled through the Hundred Thousand Mountains. They all have miraculous healing effects and are very effective in healing injuries."
Faced with Ling Feng's ability to conjure objects out of thin air as if by magic, the crowd was initially only slightly surprised, but quickly regained their composure and did not show too much astonishment.
After all, this is a mysterious and fantastical world of cultivation!
Virtual storage rings, these wondrous items, do exist here, but they are extremely rare and precious, and not something that ordinary people can possess.
However, when Ling Feng unhesitatingly decided to give him such a precious natural treasure, Xiao Liu resolutely refused, saying:
"I was already at a loss for words to express my gratitude for the extremely troublesome fire poison you cured me before. Now, faced with such a generous gift of rare and precious herbs from you, I really dare not accept it!"
Ling Feng smiled slightly and comforted him:
"You don't need to worry, just accept it. In fact, this Xuan Fire is of extraordinary and crucial significance to me, and the fact that you are willing to part with it is already a great help to me. Besides, I have a lot of such rare and precious materials. When I went deep into the vast and boundless Hundred Thousand Mountains back then, I reaped a great harvest!"
Hearing this, Xiao Liu still seemed somewhat hesitant. After all, Ling Feng had already done him a great favor by solving the fire poison problem, and he really didn't want to incur any more debts of gratitude.
Just then, Biyao, who was standing to the side, also stepped forward and tried to persuade them:
"Sixth cousin, please take this for now. If you really feel bad about it, you can find another opportunity to repay Brother Ling later."
Hearing Biyao say this, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, who had been silent all along, also spoke up:
“Since Lingfeng gave it to you, Xiao Liu, you can keep it for now. We’ll find another opportunity to repay his kindness later.”
The reason why the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox said this was because Xiao Liu really needed this rare and precious treasure. The reason she didn't speak up before was because she was worried that it would affect Bi Yao. Now that she saw that Bi Yao had spoken up, she was no longer worried.
After hearing what the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox and Biyao said, Xiao Liu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said to Ling Feng:
"Alright, I'll accept it for now, and I'll repay you in the future."
After saying that, Xiao Liu took the rare and precious materials from Ling Feng's hand.
Ling Feng didn't take his gratitude to heart, since if he encountered any trouble, it probably wouldn't be something Xiao Liu could handle.
Next, they talked about the news of the extraordinary treasure descending from Liupo Mountain.
Although the Nine-Tailed Celestial Foxes are in this Black Stone Cave, which seems not far from Liupo Mountain, they rarely go out. Especially recently, because of the arrival of the rare treasure, many cultivators have come here, and they dare not go out for fear of being discovered by the cultivators.
Therefore, they didn't know much about the news of the extraordinary treasure descending from Liupo Mountain.
Although Ling Feng knew the reason behind it, he certainly wouldn't say it, since it was simply inexplicable.
However, as the eldest daughter of the Ghost King Sect, Biyao had some knowledge of the news of this extraordinary treasure's descent into the world.
So she gave everyone a general explanation.
However, her knowledge was very limited; she only knew that the extraordinary treasure that had appeared in the world this time must be something extraordinary.
After all, the extraordinary phenomenon of that rare treasure descending to earth could be seen almost throughout the entire Divine Continent.
However, their Ghost King Sect, based on this extraordinary phenomenon that shook the entire Divine Continent and according to calculations from some ancient texts, concluded that:
This creature that has appeared in the world is very likely a rare and divine beast, and its appearance should have occurred within the last few days.
After hearing what she said, everyone was eager to join in the fun.
However, because Xiao Liu's health had not fully recovered, they quickly gave up the idea.
However, even though they weren't going, Ling Feng didn't want to miss this opportunity.
After all, he was also thinking of keeping the Kui Niu as his pet!
After a brief conversation, Ling Feng was the first to rise and take his leave.
He had already achieved his purpose in coming here, and besides, Zhang Xiaofan and the others were still waiting in Xiaochi Town, so Ling Feng was unwilling to stay here any longer.
Since Ling Feng intended to leave, Bi Yao naturally took her leave as well.
After all, whether it was to spend more time with Ling Feng or for the divine beast that was about to appear, she couldn't stay here alone.
However, although she had already said goodbye, she had made a promise with the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox and the others that she would come back to visit after the descent of the extraordinary treasure of Liupo Mountain was over.
Although the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox and her companions wanted to persuade the two to stay, they decided not to force them to remain, considering that the appearance of the extraordinary treasure was a rare and precious sight.
However, they also made a promise with Ling Feng that after the extraordinary treasure of Liupo Mountain was brought to the world, he and Biyao would visit the Black Stone Cave together, and then they would repay Ling Feng properly.
Ling Feng had no objection to this, although he didn't know what their so-called repayment was, but he figured it must be something significant.
Moreover, Ling Feng had always been very curious about the Full Moon Well and wanted to see it for himself, but now that the time had passed, he would have to wait until next time.
Ling Feng and his companion bid farewell to everyone and walked out of the Black Stone Cave together.
They spent a considerable amount of time inside, and when they came out again, it was already broad daylight.
After leaving, Ling Feng didn't rush back to Xiaochi Town, as he still had things to take care of.
After leaving the Black Stone Cave for a while, Ling Feng took out the mysterious sword and the Xuanhuo Mirror. He planned to fuse them together to see what changes would occur.
As soon as Ling Feng took them out, the mysterious sword immediately began to move.
The mysterious sword trembled in Ling Feng's hand for a moment, and then it burst forth with a dazzling light!
The light was dazzling, seemingly containing endless mysterious power, which was truly awe-inspiring.
As the light appeared, the mysterious sword broke free from Ling Feng's control and slowly floated into the air.
At the same time, the Xuanhuo Mirror in Ling Feng's hand seemed to be summoned by some kind of force, breaking free from its restraints and flying towards the sky ahead.
Soon, the Mysterious Fire Mirror flew to the side of the mysterious sword and began to rotate around it.
This rotation is not random, but rather carries a strange rhythm, as if they are performing a mysterious ritual.
As the Xuanhuo Mirror rotated, its size gradually decreased until it was only the size of a baby's palm.
Then, it began to move closer to the mysterious sword, as if it were attracted by something.
The moment the two came into contact, the Xuanhuo Mirror seemed to melt, gradually merging into the mysterious sword.
The process was very slow, but clearly visible and eye-opening.
It took quite a while for the Xuanhuo Mirror to fully integrate into the mysterious sword.
At this moment, the mysterious sword stopped spinning, and the dazzling light on its blade disappeared.
It floated silently in the air, like a peerless divine weapon, exuding a breathtaking aura.
Ling Feng looked up at the mysterious sword floating in the sky, and he had a strange feeling:
Since merging with the Mysterious Fire Mirror, the ancient aura on this mysterious sword has become even stronger, as if it contains endless sedimentation of time;
At the same time, his connection with this mysterious sword also seemed to have been greatly enhanced.
At this moment, Ling Feng could even vaguely sense that the mysterious sword, after merging with the Xuanhuo Mirror, was in a state of pleasure. This feeling was indescribable, but it was real.
Before long, the mysterious sword that had been flying in the sky returned to Ling Feng's hand once again.
At this moment, Ling Feng's senses became clearer. He vaguely felt that he and the mysterious sword in his hand were now in perfect harmony, and that it could react accordingly to his inner thoughts.
To verify this sudden feeling, Ling Feng immediately put it into practice.
The mysterious sword began to perform various movements according to Ling Feng's will.
The whole scene was unusually strange. Ling Feng, like an immortal mastered in swordsmanship, began to ride his flying sword and engage in fierce battle.
Having confirmed his suspicions, Ling Feng once again summoned the mysterious sword back into his hand.
