Activating Physique, Xiao Yi Xian's Amazement!

Chapter 44: Awakening Her Constitution, Xiao Yi Xian's Astonishment!

After returning to the inn, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin shared a room. Although Qing Lin was a girl and quite pretty, she was still too young and completely ignorant of many things.

Xiao Yi Xian was not jealous of other women being around Gu Fei.

Besides, Gu Fei had merely taken Qing Lin as a disciple, and her 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, all in Qing Lin's size.

"Thank you, Sister Xiao Yi Xian!"

Qing Lin's eyes reddened as she softly thanked her.

Meeting them truly was the best thing that had ever happened to her.

The next day, Gu Fei and the other two rose early without prior arrangement and wandered all around Stone Desert City.

Qing Lin was still somewhat reserved at first. After all, Gu Fei and Xiao Yi Xian had a different aura from the others in the mercenary group.

Especially Gu Fei. At a glance, he seemed entirely ordinary aside from his handsome appearance, and his Dou Qi fluctuations were not particularly strong.

Yet Qing Lin inexplicably felt a sense of awe toward him. She always felt that Gu Fei was the most formidable person she had ever met.

Xiao Yi Xian kept talking to her along the way, encouraging her to relax and not treat herself like an outsider.

Both Gu Fei and Xiao Yi Xian treated her like a child they doted on, and she quickly grew closer to them. Her head, which had always been lowered, slowly lifted, and the smile on her face became brighter.

She finally looked a little like a truly carefree fourteen-year-old girl.

However, whenever their gazes happened to meet, a trace of inferiority would flash through Qing Lin's eyes, and she would quickly look away.

She did not want them to clearly see those cold, bewitching emerald snake eyes.

Xiao Yi Xian was attentive and noticed it immediately. Finding an opportunity, she quietly mentioned it to Gu Fei.

"Qing Lin is so insecure. She must have been discriminated against often before, right?"

There was pity in her eyes. Gu Fei hurriedly comforted her. "I'll think of a way."

Xiao Yi Xian trusted Gu Fei unconditionally. Since he said he would find a way, all she needed to do was watch.

After bringing Qing Lin along, Gu Fei had pondered for several days and decided that it was time to awaken her talent.

She had been bullied before because she had never known how terrifying her talent truly was.

If Qing Lin could fully develop her constitution, who would still dare look down on her?

If she understood just how powerful those snake eyes, which others despised, truly were, perhaps she would be happy as well, knowing she possessed the strength to protect herself and them.

Qing Lin possessed the powerful constitution known as the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. It allowed her to control certain serpent-like creatures and absorb their energy for her own use. Her talent was exceptionally formidable.

The Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were exceedingly rare, one in ten thousand. If Qing Lin used them well, she would surely achieve great things in the future.

Originally, before Xiao Yi Xian brought up this matter, Gu Fei had not intended to go to the underground lava region.

Medusa had already taken the Heavenly Flames from the lava region, while the remaining Azure Lotus Platform and Earth Fire Lotus Seed were of no use to him.

So, he had simply been too lazy to make another trip and waste his time.

But now, Gu Fei changed his mind.

Since he was taking Qing Lin there to awaken her talent anyway, he could also retrieve the Azure Lotus Platform and Earth Fire Lotus Seed while having her control the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake.

The Azure Lotus Platform and Earth Fire Lotus Seed were useless to him, but they could still help Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin cultivate faster.

That night, Gu Fei informed Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin in advance.

Qing Lin felt excitement. Emotion Value +70

Upon hearing that they would be going out, excitement nearly overflowed from Qing Lin's eyes.

She hurried back to her room, yet she chatted with Xiao Yi Xian for a long time and could not fall asleep.

She was still only half-grown. This was probably her first time going on such a short trip for fun.

Early the next morning, Gu Fei took Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin out.

With his knowledge of the original story, he naturally knew the approximate location of that lava region.

And as they drew closer, his powerful soul force was able to sense a peculiar aura.

"So it's this place..."

Qing Lin felt hesitation. Emotion Value +70

Upon arriving at this stretch of desert, Qing Lin's expression became somewhat hesitant.

She murmured to herself. Gu Fei naturally heard her clearly but said nothing, while Xiao Yi Xian looked at her in confusion.

"What's wrong, Qing Lin?"

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's concerned gaze, Qing Lin's lips trembled. After making up her mind, she turned to look at Gu Fei.

After all, Brother Gu Fei was the strongest; he would definitely understand what she meant.

Qing Lin said, "Brother Gu Fei, half a year ago, I sensed that there was something unusual about this place."

"This area seemed to have been visited by an extremely powerful presence half a year ago. That aura... is somewhat similar to certain bloodlines within me."

When she mentioned her bloodline, Qing Lin's voice became slightly halting, and she glossed over it vaguely.

"...And before that presence, even the leader of the Sand Mercenary Group was far, far weaker than him," Qing Lin added.

Xiao Yi Xian grew curious as well. Her gaze remained fixed on Qing Lin, making Qing Lin feel a little shy.

Who would have thought that Qing Lin could sense the arrival of a powerful expert from dozens of li away?

Recalling how Gu Fei had said Qing Lin possessed extraordinary talent and wanted to take her as his disciple, Xiao Yi Xian immediately fell into thought.

"Qing Lin, your senses were right. A powerful expert really did come here before!"

After hearing Qing Lin's words, Gu Fei nodded.

Then, he unleashed his Dou Qi and shot rapidly into the air. Hovering in midair, he reached one hand toward a patch of desert.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment. The sand there was directly drawn to both sides, spreading endlessly into the surroundings.

Before long, an entrance to a passage appeared beneath the sand.

Qing Lin felt shocked, Emotion Value +70

"Brother Gu Fei, did you sense that? You're amazing!"

Watching Gu Fei locate a mysterious passage with such smooth, effortless movements, Qing Lin was startled by his speed despite knowing how powerful he was.

Gu Fei smiled calmly and descended to the ground.

Afterward, Gu Fei led Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin down into the mysterious passage.

They gradually made their way to the deepest part of the tunnel.

Deep underground, fire-attributed energy was extremely dense, and the temperature was naturally terrifyingly high.

The surrounding air seemed warped by the extreme heat, while scorching waves swept through the entire cramped space.

However, protected by Gu Fei's Dou Qi, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin were unharmed.

It was Qing Lin's first time experiencing this kind of Dou Qi barrier, and she stared around curiously for quite some time.

After walking for a while, they finally saw the end.

At the end of the passage lay an underground lake of magma.

Within the vast cavern, crimson magma flowed slowly.

From time to time, enormous bubbles rose from the magma.

Yet moments later, with a faint sound, they burst with a bang, spraying searing magma outward like brilliant crimson fireworks.
