44: Stimulate your physique and marvel at the little medical fairy!
After returning to the inn, Xiao Yi Xian shared a room with Qing Lin. Although Qing Lin was female and quite beautiful, she was still young and completely oblivious to many things.
Xiao Yi Xian was not the type to be jealous of other women following Gu Fei.
Furthermore, Gu Fei was merely taking her as a disciple, and Qing Lin's background was so pitiful.
"Qing Lin, see which one you like, go take a bath, and change into it!"
In the room, Xiao Yi Xian took out several new outfits she had just bought on the street that were the right size for Qing Lin.
"Thank you, Sister Xiao Yi Xian!"
Qing Lin's eyes reddened, and she whispered her thanks. It was truly wonderful to have met them.
...
The next day, the three of them woke up early and wandered around Stone Desert City.
At first, Qing Lin was somewhat reserved; after all, the aura Gu Fei and Xiao Yi Xian possessed was different from everyone else in the Sand Mercenary Group.
Especially Gu Fei—although he looked unremarkable at first glance, possessing only good looks and not particularly strong Qi fluctuations, Qing Lin felt an inexplicable sense of awe toward him.
She always felt that Gu Fei was the most formidable person she had ever met.
Along the way, Xiao Yi Xian kept talking to her, encouraging her to open up and not to treat herself as an outsider.
Both Gu Fei and Xiao Yi Xian treated her with the affection one would show a child, and she quickly became comfortable with them.
The head she usually kept bowed slowly lifted, and a brighter smile graced her face.
She began to resemble a truly carefree fourteen-year-old girl.
However, occasionally when she made eye contact with them, a trace of inferiority would flash in Qing Lin's eyes, and she would quickly look away.
She did not want them to clearly see those cold, bewitching, jade-green snake pupils.
Xiao Yi Xian was observant and noticed it immediately, finding an opportunity to secretly mention it to Gu Fei.
"With Qing Lin being this insecure, I fear she was often discriminated against by others before."
There was heartache in her eyes, and Gu Fei quickly comforted her: "I will think of a way."
Xiao Yi Xian trusted Gu Fei unconditionally; if he said he would think of a way, then she just needed to watch.
After taking Qing Lin by his side, Gu Fei pondered for several days and felt that it was time to let her activate her talent.
She had been bullied before because she never knew the terrifying nature of her talent.
If Qing Lin could fully develop her Physique, who would dare to look down on her?
If she understood how powerful those snake pupils, which others discriminated against, truly were, perhaps she would also be happy, feeling that she had the power to protect herself and them.
Qing Lin possessed the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, such a powerful Physique that could control certain serpentine creatures and absorb their energy for her own use; her talent could be described as extremely strong.
These Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were extremely rare, one in ten thousand; if Qing Lin used them well, she would have great achievements in the future.
Originally, before Xiao Yi Xian brought this matter up, Gu Fei had no intention of going to that deep underground magma region.
Because the Heavenly Flame in the magma region had already been taken by Medusa, the remaining Green Lotus Platform and Earth Fire Lotus Seeds were of no use to him.
Therefore, he simply couldn't be bothered to make another trip, as it would be a waste of time.
But now, Gu Fei had changed his mind.
Since he had to take Qing Lin there to activate her talent and control the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, he could also take the opportunity to retrieve the Green Lotus Platform and the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds.
The Green Lotus Platform and Earth Fire Lotus Seeds were useless to him, but they could speed up the Cultivate of Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin.
At night, Gu Fei informed Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin in advance.
[Qing Lin experiences excitement, emotional points +70]
Upon hearing that they were going out, the excitement in Qing Lin's eyes was about to overflow.
She hurried back to her room, but she and Xiao Yi Xian chatted for a long time and couldn't sleep.
After all, she was still a young girl; a short trip like this was probably her first time.
Early the next morning, Gu Fei took Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin out.
Based on his knowledge of the original work, he naturally knew the approximate location of that magma region.
As they got closer, his powerful Soul strength could sense a special aura.
"To think it's this place..."
[Qing Lin experiences hesitation, emotional points +70]
Arriving at this desert, Qing Lin's expression was somewhat hesitant.
She muttered to herself. Gu Fei naturally heard it clearly but did not speak, while Xiao Yi Xian looked at her in confusion.
"What's wrong? Qing Lin?"
Looking at Xiao Yi Xian's concerned eyes, Qing Lin's lips trembled.
Making up her mind, she turned to look at Gu Fei.
After all, Big Brother Gu Fei was the most powerful, so he would surely understand what she meant.
Qing Lin spoke: "Big Brother Gu Fei, half a year ago, I already sensed that this place was unusual."
"In this area, half a year ago, it seemed that an extremely powerful aura had passed through here. This aura... is somewhat similar to some of the Bloodline within my body."
When mentioning her Bloodline, Qing Lin's voice was somewhat halting, and she glossed over it vaguely.
"... And in front of that aura, even the leader of the Sand Mercenary Group would be much, much weaker than him," Qing Lin added.
Xiao Yi Xian also became curious, staring at Qing Lin incessantly, making Qing Lin feel a bit shy.
She hadn't expected that Qing Lin could sense a powerful expert arriving here from dozens of miles away.
Thinking back to how Gu Fei had previously said that Qing Lin had a gifted talent and wanted to take her as a disciple, Xiao Yi Xian was suddenly lost in thought.
"Qing Lin, your sensing is correct; a powerful expert did indeed come here!"
After hearing Qing Lin's words, Gu Fei nodded.
Subsequently, he unleashed his Dou Qi, his body rapidly flying into the air.
Hovering in the air, he grabbed with one palm toward a patch of desert.
The air paused for a moment, and the sand there was directly sucked to both sides, constantly spreading outward.
Before long, a passageway entrance appeared beneath the sand.
[Qing Lin experiences shock, emotional points +70]
"Big Brother Gu Fei, did you sense this? How amazing!"
Seeing Gu Fei find a mysterious passage with such fluid movements, even though she knew Gu Fei was powerful, she was still taken aback by this speed.
Gu Fei smiled indifferently and landed on the ground.
Subsequently, Gu Fei took Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin down and entered the mysterious passage.
Furthermore, they gradually reached the deepest part of the passage.
Deep underground, the fire-attribute energy was extremely dense, and the temperature was naturally very high.
The surrounding air seemed to be distorted due to the excessive heat, and scorching waves of air swept through the entire narrow space.
However, with Gu Fei's Dou Qi protection, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin were unharmed.
This was Qing Lin's first time experiencing such a Dou Qi barrier, and she looked at it with curiosity for a long time.
They walked for a while and finally saw the end.
At the end of the passage was an underground magma lake.
In the huge cavern, fiery red magma flowed slowly.
Occasionally, huge bubbles would emerge from the magma.
However, after a moment, with a slight sound, 'pop', they would burst, and scorching magma would shoot out, as gorgeous as a fiery red firework.
