Through the Fire Qilin's explanation, Ling Xiao was finally enlightened.
It turned out that the Fire Qilin had allowed Ling Xiao to attach his spiritual force to its beast core, and it had imprinted Ling Xiao's spiritual force into the beast core. There was a connection between the two, and the Fire Qilin could communicate with Ling Xiao through this connection.
This method of communication was equal between humans and beasts, and there was no distinction between master and servant.
If one day the Fire Qilin wanted to leave Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao would not be able to force it to stay, and the Fire Qilin would not be able to cause any harm to Ling Xiao through its spiritual force.
This method of spiritual communication was called the "Covenant of Equality."
It was only after Ling Xiao obtained the second volume of the "Spirit Controlling Art" that he knew about it.
Ling Xiao jumped onto the Fire Qilin's back and shouted, "Prodigal, let's go out. I'm bored out of my mind."
"Boss, don't worry. Don't you want those fire crystals?
I'll take you to find them. There should be a lot more here, "the Fire Qilin replied.
"Really? That's great. I'll take as many as you have," Ling Xiao exclaimed in surprise.
"But boss, you have to leave some for me in the future. It can help me evolve faster," the Fire Qilin said.
"Don't worry, boss will leave some for you," Ling Xiao said as he patted the Fire Qilin's head. He then asked, "By the way, what rank are you now?"
The Fire Qilin was much stronger than before. Ling Xiao could feel it, but he did not know which rank it had advanced to.
"I'm already at the middle rank of the fourth rank. When I finish digesting the energy of those fire crystals, I should be able to reach the high rank of the fourth rank," the Fire Qilin replied.
"Damn, you jumped two ranks in a row. That's too strong!" Ling Xiao exclaimed.
He had thought that the Fire Qilin had only broken through to the low rank of the fourth rank. He did not expect it to break through two ranks and reach the middle rank of the fourth rank. This was equivalent to the strength of a human warrior at the middle rank of the king rank. With the strength of a spirit beast's body, it could even fight against a high rank king rank warrior.
Moreover, the Fire Qilin was a Divine Beast, so its combat strength was even more astonishing.
"The energy of the fire crystals here is too great. I ate too much and almost exploded from the energy. Fortunately, the environment here is very suitable for me to evolve. I like it here," the Flame Qilin said.
The Fire Qilin was a pure fire attribute spirit beast, so it was very fond of the extreme Yang environment here.
If there was no fire poison in this place, it would be an excellent place for any Martial Artist that cultivated in the fire attribute. After all, the fire attribute Spiritual Energy here was much denser than in other places.
Ling Xiao didn't pursue the matter any further. The stronger the Fire Qilin was, the more advantageous it would be for him. Even if he encountered a King Rank powerhouse in the future, he wouldn't be at the mercy of others.
Now, he wanted to find more Fire Mysterious Crystals, which would be of great use to him in the future.
After wandering for a while, with the help of the Fire Kylin's senses, Ling Xiao harvested 15 pieces of Fire Mysterious Crystals, which almost made him overjoyed.
If he only cultivated in the fire attribute, then merely relying on these 15 Fire Mysterious Crystals would allow him to directly break through to the King Rank without a problem.
"It seems that there aren't many Fire Mysterious Crystals here. Let's go out," Ling Xiao said to the Fire Qilin.
"Boss, I feel like there are many Fire Mysterious Crystals in the deepest part of this place," the Fire Qilin said.
"What? Then why didn't you take me down earlier?" Ling Xiao said in a bad mood.
"But it seems to be very scary and dangerous down there. I don't dare to go near it," the Fire Qilin said timidly.
"Is there such a thing?" Ling Xiao asked doubtfully.
He pondered for a moment and thought, "Could it be that there are some other terrifying spirit beasts down there?"
For a moment, Ling Xiao was caught in a dilemma.
If he didn't go down, then there should be a lot of Fire Mysterious Crystals down there. It would be a great pity if he gave them up. However, if he went down, then there was something down there that even the Fire Qilin was afraid of. If he didn't get any benefits and instead lost his life, then he would be a fool.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ling Xiao clenched his teeth and said to himself, "Riches are found in danger. I'll take this f * cking gamble this once."
Ling Xiao knew that if there was a high return, then there would definitely be a high risk. His intuition told him that in this kind of dangerous place, besides the Fire Mysterious Crystals, there might be other treasures.
Just like in the abyss of the mountain range, there was a Connate Yin Wind Bead in the place of extreme yin.
Ling Xiao made up his mind and let the Fire Qilin fly down.
The further down they went, the thicker the molten lava became, and the heat became more oppressive.
However, as the Fire Qilin said, the further down they went, the more Fire Mysterious Crystals there were.
Just a few hundred meters down, Ling Xiao found more than thirty Fire Mysterious Crystals, which made him almost burst with joy.
However, when he thought that the Fire Qilin would need to absorb more Fire Mysterious Crystals in the future to advance faster, he realized that the Fire Mysterious Crystals he had obtained seemed to be too little.
Following that, the man and the beast continued to sink for another thousand meters. The number of Fire Mysterious Crystals Ling Xiao had already exceeded a hundred.
However, Ling Xiao discovered that the flames in the depths below seemed to be slightly different from the flames above.
The flames here seemed to have a strange light blue color, and the deeper they went, the more brilliant the blue the flames became.
This kind of blue made Ling Xiao's eyes look more and more bewitching, and at the same time, it was filled with even more berserk factors.
The Fire Qilin said, "Boss, we can't go down anymore. My protective divine light can't hold on for much longer."
The Fire Qilin's flames belonged to the category of divine fire, and they belonged to the highest level of fire seeds. However, it now said that its protective fire light couldn't withstand the blue flames here.
This made Ling Xiao even more certain that there was definitely some kind of spiritual object at the bottom of the volcano.
"Prodigal brat, don't go down first. I'll think of a way." Ling Xiao gave the order, then activated the Innate Yin Wind Qi and turned it to the maximum, enveloping himself and the Fire Qilin.
Ling Xiao said again, "Try and see if you can go down."
After saying that, he took out a pill and swallowed two pills in a row.
It was also quite strenuous for him to activate so much Innate Yin Wind Qi all at once.
"I'll try." The Fire Qilin replied, and its body descended once again.
With the help of the Innate Yin Wind Qi, the Fire Qilin advanced another ten meters.
However, at this time, Ling Xiao had no choice but to stop it.
This was because his Innate Yin Wind Qi seemed to have been weakened by the blue flames by a lot. Only a thin layer of Evil Qi was barely able to protect the two of them from being attacked.
"Just what kind of flame is this? It's actually so terrifying!" Ling Xiao thought in confusion.
"Boss, I see what's down there. There are so many Fire Crystals!" The Fire Qilin looked down and swallowed its saliva.
"What!"
Ling Xiao was shocked. He looked down, but could only see balls of demonic blue flames. He didn't find anything at all.
"It's true. Those Fire Crystals are so big. There's even a Fire Pearl there!" The Fire Qilin replied excitedly.
"Fire Pearl?
Is it some kind of Yang treasure? "Ling Xiao's eyes lit up.
He couldn't help but think about the Innate Yin Wind Pearl in his Knowledge Sea. He guessed that the pearl was also a Heaven and Earth Treasure, the Origin Pearl?
"No, I must go down and take a look." Ling Xiao took a deep breath and made his final decision.
Then, he closed his eyes and used his heart to communicate with the Innate Yin Wind Pearl.
Although he couldn't enter his Knowledge Sea, the Innate Yin Wind Pearl in his Knowledge Sea should be able to understand his intentions.
Unexpectedly, the Innate Yin Wind Pearl slowly floated out from Ling Xiao's Knowledge Sea under his Knowledge Sea's command.
Ling Xiao's original intention was to use the Innate Yin Wind Pearl's Evil Qi to restrain the blue flames and let him descend to the deepest part.
However, he didn't expect that the moment the Innate Yin Wind Pearl appeared, it would break free from his control.
With a "xiu" sound, it rushed down.
At the same time, the blue flames also began to change. The flames instantly retracted and wrapped around the Innate Yin Wind Pearl.
"What's going on?" Ling Xiao asked in confusion.
"Boss, I can go down now!" The Fire Qilin cried out in surprise and carried Ling Xiao down.
Who knew that a powerful force would suddenly explode.
Boom!
One man and one beast were shaken by the violent energy explosion.
Ling Xiao focused his eyes and saw two beads fighting not far from him. One of them was his Innate Chilling Wind Bead, and the other was a bead that glowed red and blue with an eerie aura.
Of these two beads, one was exuding a viscous, ink-black color with black mist rippling out from it, while the other was exuding a bewitching blue flame with waves of fire surging ceaselessly.
The two powerful forces were actually intertwining and attacking each other.
This … this was too inconceivable!
Ling Xiao couldn't wrap his head around this. Just what was going on?
"Could it be that these two pearls, one Yin and one Yang, are mortal enemies?" Ling Xiao wondered.
Then, Lu Weng's voice rang out in Ling Xiao's mind. "Correct, they are mortal enemies. Yin and Yang oppose each other. The Innate Yin Wind Pearl is an extreme Yin item, while the Demon Blue Flame Pearl is an extreme Yang item. Both of them are Origin pearls, and if they meet, it will definitely be a disaster. I think you should run. Once they use all their energy, this world will definitely be destroyed."
"Is there … is there no other way?" asked Ling Xiao.
He really didn't know that summoning the Innate Yin Wind Pearl would result in such a situation. He cursed himself for being too greedy. It would have been better if he had just directly left!
He couldn't help but feel regret.
"What else can we do? They won't appear in the same place. Now that they've sensed each other's existence, we'll have to destroy them before they can calm down," sighed Lu Weng.
Rumble!
The two pearls emitted a powerful energy that once again sent Ling Xiao and the Fire Qilin flying far away.
Ling Xiao looked at the Innate Yin Wind Pearl once more and clenched his teeth. "Wastrel, get out of here as fast as you can."
He had suffered a double loss this time!
Giving up on the Innate Yin Wind Pearl was Ling Xiao's greatest loss. Even the one hundred Mysterious Fire Crystals wouldn't be able to make up for one ten thousandth of it.
Ling Xiao's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife and was bleeding!
