Chapter 59 Where are Lao Tzu's spirit stones?
Beneath the Blazing Sun Canyon, in some unnamed region.
I don’t know how long it took.
"Cough...cough cough! Where...where am I?"
"How...how can it be so hot here!"
A weak voice slowly spoke, eyes half-closed.
As his consciousness gradually returned, Lin Que realized that all the bones in his body were broken.
My whole body was in excruciating pain. I had just realized that the temperature around me was terrifyingly hot, as if I were in a world of fire.
The surrounding stone walls were a deep red, the ground was cracked in patches, and even the air felt scorching hot.
The pain, combined with the extreme heat and dryness, made Lin Que's suffering even more unbearable.
Currently, I can barely move my hands and the rest of my body.
Lin Que tried to circulate his spiritual energy, but his dantian was completely empty.
"It seems that the only way to replenish spiritual power is to use high-grade spirit stones."
Without spiritual power in his body, Lin Que could do nothing but this. Although the losses would be great, it was better than dying.
The reason for not using mid-grade spirit stones is that Lin Que had tried it before. Due to the special nature of the Taiqing Chaos Technique, the required spiritual energy consumption was too enormous. Mid-grade spirit stones would be of negligible help to Lin Que.
Just as Lin Que opened his storage ring with his mind, intending to take out the high-grade spirit stone...
"Fuck!"
"Where are my top-grade spirit stones?!"
Lin Que was completely bewildered. The high-grade spirit stones in his storage ring had mysteriously disappeared.
Start searching carefully now!
Lin Que searched his storage ring for a long time before finally finding some spirit stones that had lost their spiritual energy in a corner. There were not only high-grade spirit stones, but also a large number of mid-grade ones.
In the middle of the pile of discarded spirit stones, there was an oval-shaped egg!
Lin Que was instantly dumbfounded! When did an egg appear in his storage ring?
After thinking for a long time, I finally remembered that the shape looked a lot like the oval stone I had obtained in Cangwu City.
But how did the stone suddenly turn into an egg?
Never mind all that, the most important thing right now is...
Mudd!
Spit out my spirit stones!
After Lin Que took out the egg, he was so angry that he almost smashed it. What the hell kind of egg is this? It even steals my spirit stones!
Just as Lin Que was hesitating whether to smash it or roast it.
"Click~"
With a slight cracking sound, a fissure appeared on the egg in my hand.
Lin Que's eyes widened instantly!
As the cracks gradually increased, the egg finally shattered.
Lin Que leaned closer and saw a head with only a few stray hairs on top peeking out!
It was just a scruffy bird!
At this moment, the scruffy bird also opened its eyes, which were the size of mung beans, and stared at Lin Que.
A man and a bird, staring at each other wide-eyed!
The atmosphere instantly became somewhat quiet.
After a while...
"What are you looking at!"
The scruffy bird suddenly called out to Lin Que.
What the hell!
This is a talking bird!
Lin Que's expression revealed shock, and he unconsciously said to the scruffy bird, "What are you looking at!"
"Hey! Look at my temper!"
The scraggly bird immediately became angry and jumped out of its egg to peck at Lin Que.
Lin Que was also annoyed; this guy had stolen his spirit stones.
He instantly threw a punch at the scruffy bird, and the man and the bird started fighting.
"stop!"
A moment later, the scruffy bird suddenly cried out, signaling to stop.
Lin Que actually stopped, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was not right!
"Holy crap! Why should I listen to a scruffy bird like you?!"
The man and the bird started fighting each other again.
Another moment passed.
"Stop! Stop! Stop!"
"This time it's for real, neither of us is going to fight!"
The scruffy bird, its body covered in bruises, cried out loudly. Lin Que was in no better shape; lacking spiritual power, his hands were covered in pecks.
Lin Que roared at the scruffy bird, "Give me back my spirit stones!"
The scruffy bird said matter-of-factly, "Sorry!"
"no!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Que became furious again and wanted to continue his attack.
Seeing this, the scruffy bird quickly flapped its wings and said, "Alright! Alright! What I said is true!"
"Grandpa, where am I supposed to find you spirit stones?!"
Lin Que said, "Then tell me, you scruffy bird, what should we do?"
"I desperately need spirit stones to heal my injuries!"
"I'm too lazy to argue with you about the rest!"
The scruffy bird protested, "I am a phoenix! You dare call me a scruffy bird again!"
Lin Que immediately became interested and said sarcastically, "You call yourself a phoenix? You're just bragging!"
"A scruffy bird with hardly any feathers on its head? I'm supposed to be the Chaos Celestial Venerable!"
The scruffy bird snorted and said, "You just don't understand. I'm only just born, and I'll definitely transform into a phoenix in the future!"
"But then again, it's just that I absorbed a few spirit stones from you, what's the big deal!"
"It's your honor to let me absorb your spirit stones, kid!"
"But you're a real poor bastard!"
"Only this many spirit stones."
Lin Que instantly drew the long sword from his back!
Upon seeing this, the scruffy bird cried out, "Stop!"
"Isn't all you want to do to recover from your injuries?"
"no problem!"
Lin Que asked, "What's your plan?"
The bird with the variegated feathers walked back and forth on the ground a few times, nodding its head from time to time and sniffing something from time to time.
Then he said to Lin Que, "You're really lucky, kid. There's a spiritual fire of heaven and earth here."
"If you can absorb and refine it, it will be equivalent to rebuilding your body."
"Enough to fully heal your injuries."
Upon hearing this, Lin Que asked in shock, "You mean there is a spirit fire of heaven and earth here?"
The scruffy bird said with a look of disdain, "What I say is absolutely true."
"Everyone says I'm a phoenix now."
"The Phoenix Clan has an innate and strong affinity for the fire element."
Lin Que didn't care whether this scruffy bird was a real phoenix or not; just hearing that there was a spiritual fire of heaven and earth here was enough to excite him!
After all, his inner fire tempering also requires the spiritual fire of heaven and earth.
Then he asked the scruffy bird, "Then tell me, where is the spiritual fire of heaven and earth here?"
The scraggly bird said, "Go to the hottest place, and you'll probably see it."
After hearing what the scruffy bird said, Lin Que decided to take action. He sensed an alarmingly high temperature emanating from a certain direction.
Lin Que could only move his hands, so if he didn't want to die here, he had no choice but to crawl over with all his might.
With that in mind, Lin Que no longer hesitated and immediately climbed towards the center where the temperature was higher.
It was unclear why the scruffy bird chose not to leave, but instead followed Lin Que.
An hour later...
As they got closer to the center, the temperature around them rose higher and higher, and the ground was already scorching hot!
Lin Que's hands were already covered in countless layers of broken skin, and his palms were burned raw and bloody.
Despite the extreme pain, Lin Que gritted his teeth and persevered!
He thought of Lian Yue, Xi Yue, and Li Yao, and many unfinished things!
Therefore, we must never give up!
I'd rather die here than die here.
In contrast, the scraggly bird appeared relaxed, as if this were its paradise, showing no sign of discomfort.
As time went by, the scruffy bird's gaze towards Lin Que held a newfound respect!
This kid does have some qualities that I admire.
Just as Lin Que was about to run out of strength.
Suddenly, a ball of dark golden flame appeared before my eyes!
It floated quietly in the air, burning slowly...
It was so intense and mysterious...
