The Thousand Year Chilled Jade Bed was the size of an ordinary bed. Such a large piece of Chilled Jade Bed was an extremely precious item. Even gold coins wouldn't be able to buy it. Its color was emerald green and it emitted an oppressive cold Qi. It emitted waves of sinister Qi, making it seem extremely mystical.
Li Yang's entire body was as red as a piece of iron, so red that it was purple and black. His veins were bulging like snakes, and he looked like he had gone mad. He roared incessantly and his face was distorted to a frightening degree.
"Not good, the Yang poison has already begun to invade his internal organs. We must save him immediately!" Ling Xiao looked at Li Yang's condition and shouted. He rushed to Li Yang's side.
Ling Xiao bluntly tore the clothes in front of Li Yang's chest, only to see a mass of dark red like a golden sun slowly converging on Li Yang's heart. As long as the Yang poison reached his heart, Li Yang would definitely die.
"Grandpa Li, please protect me. I must save him immediately, or he will die!" Ling Xiao said with a doubtful expression.
"Alright, if you can save Li Yang, I can promise you anything!" Li Yu replied worriedly and left the room, closing the door behind him.
"I don't know what kind of extreme Yang item he took, but it's actually so domineering!" Ling Xiao muttered to himself. He circulated his Innate Yin Wind Evil Qi and slapped it on Li Yang's body.
Before entering the forge, he had already felt that Li Yang was very strange. His entire face was red, and even his hand that was holding the wine was red. Moreover, it was dark, which was why he concluded that Li Yang had been poisoned by the Yang poison.
Everything in the world reinforced and restrained each other. To overcome an extreme Yang item, one must have an extreme Yin item.
Ling Xiao's Innate Yin Wind Evil Qi was an extreme Yin item that could restrain the Yang poison. That was why he dared to promise that he could cure Li Yang of the Yang poison.
The Innate Yin Wind Evil Qi in Ling Xiao's body instantly spread towards Li Yang's body. A cloud of black air instantly enveloped the screaming Li Yang.
Just as the Innate Yin Wind Evil Qi invaded Li Yang's body, the Yang Poison in Li Yang's body seemed to sense the danger of the Yin Wind Evil Qi, so it quickly retreated. As long as the Innate Yin Wind Evil Qi entered, the Yang Poison would completely retreat and hide in Li Yang's dantian.
The Yang poison was suppressed, and Li Yang quickly stopped screaming. Instead, he felt extremely cold, and a grinding sound came out of his mouth. With a pale face, he cried out: "Cold … So cold …"
"What a cunning fellow. I don't know how long it has stayed here. Let me destroy you completely!" Ling Xiao discovered that the Yang Poison had actually hidden itself in Li Yang's Dantian. Thus, ignoring Li Yang's sorrowful cries, he controlled the Innate Yin Wind and slowly pressed it towards Li Yang's Dantian.
Unexpectedly, when the Innate Yin Wind Baleful Qi approached Li Yang's Dantian, a strong Yang poison rushed out and dispersed the Innate Yin Wind Baleful Qi.
"Concentrating your strength to resist my Innate Yin Wind Evil Qi, very good. This young master wants to see how much ability you have!" After Ling Xiao muttered, he increased the speed at which he transferred his Xuan Qi, and the Innate Yin Wind Evil Qi surged over like a tide.
At this time, Li Yang could not stop complaining about the cold. His body wanted to curl up, but he was firmly locked by the iron chains, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable. If it wasn't for his strong willpower, he would have been tortured to death.
Ling Xiao increased the speed at which he transferred his Xuan Qi, and the Innate Yin Wind Evil Qi continued to wear down the Yang poison in Li Yang's Dantian.
After an hour of consumption, the Yang poison in Li Yang's body was finally completely expelled.
Ling Xiao withdrew the Innate Yin Wind Evil Qi, and his face became much paler. His face was dripping with sweat from the excessive consumption.
"It's finally done!" Ling Xiao wiped his sweat and walked towards the door.
Li Yu was pacing back and forth outside the door, looking very anxious. When he saw Ling Xiao come out, he immediately grabbed his hand and asked, "Little guy, how is my Li Yang?"
Ling Xiao revealed a bright smile and said, "Fortunately, I didn't disappoint you!"
"Really, this … please accept this old man's bow!" Li Yu was pleasantly surprised. Then, he actually wanted to thank Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao hurriedly supported Li Yu's body and said, "Grandpa Li, you're too much! If my grandpa finds out about this, he will definitely skin me alive. You should quickly go and release Uncle Li."
"Oh, I forgot, you little guy is waiting for me downstairs. Don't leave!" Li Yu slapped his forehead and said, then immediately rushed into the house.
Ling Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head. In his heart, he felt that the number one artificer in Meteorite City was no different from an ordinary person. He was just an old man who cared for his children.
Not long after Ling Xiao arrived downstairs, he heard an explosion coming from upstairs.
"As the saying goes, one who survives a great disaster is bound to have good fortune later on. This saying is true." Ling Xiao looked at the big hole that was blasted upstairs and did not feel strange at all. Instead, he murmured, as if he had already expected it.
Then, there was a burst of laughter from upstairs. "Haha, I'm fine … I'm finally fine …"
Not long after, the upstairs quieted down, and then Li Yu and Li Yang came down together.
At this moment, Li Yang's original decadent state was swept away, and his whole person was many times more spirited than before. His eyes flashed with a bright light, and his whole body's skin color returned to normal. Moreover, he seemed to have suddenly become ten years younger. His cultivation had also broken through from the original middle-level Mystic Realm to the high-level Mystic Realm. It could be said that it was a blessing in disguise.
The father and son quickly came in front of Ling Xiao, and Li Yang was very serious as he bowed to Ling Xiao and said, "Thank you, benefactor, for saving my life. I, Li Yang, will never forget it. In the future, if you want me to go up a mountain of swords or go down a sea of oil, I will not frown for a moment."
Li Yang and his father were people who could distinguish between kindness and hatred, and immediately made a heavy promise to Ling Xiao.
"Uncle Li, you are treating me like an outsider. In the future, just call me Ling Xiao. I just happened to be at the right time and did not help much," Ling Xiao said modestly, which was rare for him.
The more Li Yu looked at Ling Xiao's behavior, the more satisfied he was. He immediately said, "Well, we father and son will not be polite anymore. In the future, you are my godson. In the future, if you need Grandpa Li's help, just come to me. In the city, your grandfather still has some face."
"In that case, thank you, Grandpa Li!" Ling Xiao immediately responded with joy.
To be able to obtain Li Yu's approval and become his godson was also a matter of face. In the future, it would also be a great help in Meteorite City.
Coming here this time was really not in vain.
His son's Yang poison had been expelled, so Li Yu was in a good mood. He pulled Ling Xiao and insisted that he stay for a few drinks.
Ling Xiao did not refuse, so he stayed and drank a few cups with Li Kong and his son.
While they were drinking, Ling Xiao found out that Li Yang had encountered a mutated Scarlet Phosphorus Snake when he entered the mountain in his early years. Although he had killed the Scarlet Phosphorus Snake, he had been bitten.
The Red Phosphorus Snake was a fire attribute spirit beast, and everyone knew that it was a snake spirit beast that did not have a strong poison.
However, this mutated Red Phosphorus Snake was an exception. It actually contained a small amount of Yang poison. At first, it did not cause any harm to Li Yang, but his body would occasionally heat up.
However, that Yang poison actually slowly grew in Li Yang's body. Every time the poison flared up, Li Yang would be in so much pain that he wanted to die. Recently, the poison flared up more and more frequently, and every time the poison flared up, Li Yang would go around destroying things like a madman, even brutally killing people.
Later, every time before the poison flared up, Li Yu had no choice but to lock Li Yang up.
"Come, come, Xiao, if it wasn't for you today, I would have died, and this old man would not have a successor. Uncle Li offers you three cups." Li Yang was a free and easy person, but he had been tortured by the Yang poison for many years. Now that it was cured, he was in a good mood. He said to Ling Xiao and drank three cups.
"That is because Uncle Li's life is not yet finished," Ling Xiao said as he drank a cup in return.
Then, the three people drank and chatted.
Finally, when Ling Xiao said that he wanted to leave, Li Yu said to him, "Xiao 'er, don't go yet."
Li Yu said sternly, then turned around and went to one of the rooms. Not long after, he came out with a weapon in his hand.
Ling Xiao looked at the weapon and knew that it must be a Xuan weapon that Li Yu had kept for many years.
"This Flaming Cloud Sword is the pinnacle of my life's work, a middle third level sword. Now I give it to you," Li Yu said, and without the slightest hesitation, he directly handed it to Ling Xiao.
"Old man …" Li Yang knew that this sword had a great commemorative value to his father. Now that he was giving it to someone else, his heart was even more touched.
"Don't say anything. How can a mere Xuan weapon compare to your life?" Li Yu said with a wave of his hand.
Ling Xiao took the Flaming Cloud Sword and looked at the scabbard that was faintly suffused with Fire Qi. Without hesitation, he immediately pulled out the sword.
Xiu!
A fire-elemental sword qi flew out, and the sword qi took the shape of a firebird in the air. The fiery qi was threatening, and the sword light flickered. Even if it was a simple sword strike, it would take the life of a mystic warrior expert on the spot.
"It really is worthy of being a Xuan weapon," Ling Xiao praised in his heart.
However, compared to the Soft Tide Sword that Yun Mengqi obtained in the secret realm, this Flaming Cloud Sword was more than two levels lower.
Ling Xiao closed the Flaming Cloud Sword and handed it back to Li Kong, saying: "Grandpa Li, although this sword is good, it is not suitable for me to use. You should take it back."
"Could it be that you don't like grandpa's sword?" Li Kong asked.
"Of course not, Grandpa Li, please take a look," Ling Xiao said, and then circulated his Xuan energy. His entire body was immediately enveloped in a ball of golden light.
Li Yu now understood Ling Xiao's intentions. His Flaming Cloud Sword was a fire-type sword, but Ling Xiao had a metal type martial body. Fire subdued metal, and using a fire-type Xuan weapon would not only not be able to display the weapon's power, but it would also cause one's Xuan energy to decline. The gains did not make up for the losses.
"I forgot that your Ling family is mostly metal-type. It seems that I can only help you forge a metal-type Xuan Weapon, but I don't have a metal-type Beast Core, and as for the Thousand Year Black Profound Iron, it is even more difficult to find," Li Yu said with a sigh. After a pause, he said: "But don't worry, I will find a way to help you get it."
"Grandpa Li, don't worry, let's talk about Xuan Weapons later. You can upgrade this sword for me now, and when I find the materials, I will ask you to help me forge a Xuan Weapon," Ling Xiao said.
He wanted to use the Beast Core and the Thousand Year Black Profound Iron to help him forge a Xuan Weapon.
However, if others knew that he had a spatial ring, he was afraid that it would lead to unnecessary trouble. After thinking about it, he decided to postpone this matter for now.
"Alright, I'll immediately help you upgrade these two swords. However, this is to repay the mountain range's favor, and you've saved my son's life. In the future, when you need our help, we will definitely help you," Li Xu promised.
Subsequently, Ling Xiao handed the Blue Crystal Sword and the Silver Ghost Blood Blade to Li Yu.
