Chapter 213 lit up another one.
The two boys did not retract their hands as the magic circle was activated; instead, they each grabbed a white flame and swallowed it.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Two bursts of flame erupted from the two boys' bodies, enveloping them and burning towards the surrounding magic array.
"throat!"
A metallic clanging sound rang out, but the magic array remained as solid as a rock, revealing a five-element array diagram of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. In the fire element position, two children were enveloped in a ball of fire, the flame emitting a faint blue hue that enveloped the crimson flames on their bodies. The blue flames began to gradually devour the crimson flames, assimilating them. Runes flickered on the fire element position, imprinting themselves one after another onto the two children before disappearing into their bodies.
Finally, when the blue flames completely devoured the crimson flames, runes appeared on the foreheads of the two boys, two beautiful flame patterns imprinted on their fair skin, dazzlingly beautiful.
In Ning Xiaoxi's consciousness, two points of light appeared within the Five Elements Array Diagram. The little red fish next door, clinging to the cover, looked on curiously as its companion finally settled in next door.
The two little children, their petite figures far more appealing than the little red fish, held hands and curiously surveyed the space. The flames burning within made them feel quite comfortable. While sunlight was intense, it wasn't flames, and high temperatures didn't necessarily suit them. Here, there were enough flames for them to absorb and fuse with, and even more advanced flames awaited them. Their faces flushed with excitement.
With the two array eyes lit up, the Five Elements Array began to operate slowly, and streams of spiritual energy circulated around the little red fish and Zhu Rong Tong Zi, with water and fire slowly merging together.
Ning Xiaoxi smiled happily, [That's a wrap!]
【Okay, that's a wrap!】
Do you know what "closing work" means? Just shout it along.
Anyway, whatever you say is right.
Ning Xiaoxi shook her head. This unprincipled little dumpling... [We've collected the water and fire, there are still three spots left, we can keep trying!]
[In the Western Trials, there are too many Celestial Masters. Even if there are demons, they would probably avoid this sharp edge. These two boys probably didn't attract the attention of the Celestial Masters because their demonic energy was too weak.]
[How wonderful! A spirit born from divine fire has limitless potential!]
As I strolled out of the alley, the sun was even brighter, and I felt so sleepy!
As dusk fell, Ning Xiaoxi was awakened by the noise outside. She opened the door to her inn room and looked at the growing crowds on the street; the nightlife had begun.
She changed into a white, thin cotton top and trousers, and open-toed cloth shoes. The cuffs of the top were embroidered with butterfly patterns, and the edges of the knee-length top had a simple, matching butterfly pattern. The shoes also had the same butterfly pattern on the cuffs. Ming Luoying wanted to make sure her daughter was comfortable and looked pretty within her means.
After going downstairs, the previously empty lobby was now full of diners, and the aroma of noodles filled the entire space.
Stepping out of the inn, the leaves that had looked listless during the day now seemed to come alive. Without sunlight, candles, lanterns, and bonfires were lit everywhere, filling the air with the aroma of food and the smoky scent of candlelight – this must be what life is all about!
Walking past the food stalls, the main food was flatbread, all kinds of flatbread. The general store had various kinds of dried meat, with different shelf lives depending on the humidity. There was also dried fruit; the abundant sunshine here made the fruit plentiful and sweet, perfect for making dried fruit. Ning Xiaoxi started her shopping spree, replenishing her supplies.
After walking around and replenishing her food and fresh water, Ning Xiaoxi felt something was off. Wasn't the Western Trial supposed to be a big deal? Why wasn't there a single Celestial Master here?
That's fine too; without other Celestial Masters around, she can shop freely. From her encounter with Di Fei last time, she realized that Di Fei had too many secrets, and since they didn't come from legitimate channels, she was different from others in some way. If she talked too much, she'd easily be exposed. While her rank could conceal things, her strength was undeniable, and there would always be ways she slipped up. Lying wasn't her forte, and covering up lies was even harder; it was best to keep a low profile!
As I walked, I left the small town, which could hardly be called a town at all. The Gobi Desert was filled with soil, sand, and stones, with trees ranging from tall to short, and finally, low-lying moss clinging to the ground. I leaped onto a large rock in front of me and looked out over the small town under the night sky.
At night, the small town is brightly lit and bustling with activity. A sky full of twinkling stars, like jewels set against the black canvas of the heavens. The distant desert gleams silver in the moonlight, its lights reflecting off the oasis town, creating a dreamlike scene.
Sitting upright on the rock, emptying her mind, she felt as if she had merged with the heavens and earth, yet could also see clearly below. For a moment, she was unsure whether she had merged with the heavens and earth, or whether the heavens and earth had merged with her.
The spiritual energy within my body surged, seemingly omnipresent yet also completely absent. Like a sieve that lets through nothing, no matter how much I tried to absorb it, it would all leak out, which was very uncomfortable.
Inside the cave, Jiuyu, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them. A flash of light appeared, and he pointed a finger directly at Ning Xiaoxi's chest. Spiritual energy, starting from her chest, began to spread, gradually forming a thin film on her skin, blocking the flow of spiritual energy between her body and the outside world. The trapped spiritual energy returned to Ning Xiaoxi's body. Now that she no longer had spiritual meridians, the spiritual energy had no channels to flow and could only rush downwards, washing over her flesh, internal organs, and bones repeatedly from the outside in.
Having undergone the baptism of maxing out her skills, the muscles, bones, and blood vessels within her body have been strengthened and forged. This time, the enhancement is fundamental, leaving no stone unturned.
The internal circulation of spiritual energy was constantly being modified and strengthened, but because of the thin film of spiritual energy on the surface of her skin, she did not absorb any of the spiritual energy dissipating from the outside space, so the internal modification was carried out silently.
"Brother, look at that rock, isn't it a little girl?" a malicious voice came from behind.
Another hoarse voice responded, "Yes, she's a lovely young lady! Look at her skin, so white and tender, it even glows!"
"Haha, we haven't been able to find a suitable offering this time, and this one has just come to us. Quick, catch her and hand her over to the garrison commander, and our mission will be complete."
Under the cover of night, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared by the rock. They craned their necks to look at Ning Xiaoxi sitting on the rock. The taller one took out a paper packet from his pocket and handed it to the shorter one. "This is medicine that I got directly from Sister Hua. It's very effective. I guarantee she won't be able to resist."
The shorter one took it, held it in its mouth, climbed onto the taller one's shoulder, and slowly approached Ning Xiaoxi by stepping on the taller one.
