Fire Ancestor Demonic Flower

"The owner of those mysterious bones probably wanted to eat this flower..." Lin Dong stared at the flower, muttering to himself.

The enchanting flower grew alone on this rock, constantly swaying, appearing exceptionally strange and full of temptation.

Xiao Yan paced back and forth beside the rock, occasionally letting out low growls toward the eerie flower above, but never daring to approach.

Lin Changqiang stood silently to the side, not saying a word. Without the help of the Ancestral Stone and Little Sable, he didn't dare recklessly get close to the Fire Ancestor Demonic Flower.

Lin Dong hesitated as he looked at the flower, wavering for a long time before finally gritting his teeth and climbing toward it.

"Sizzle sizzle!"

The moment he touched the rock, a sound like frying skewers came from Lin Dong's palm. He quickly urged his Yin-cold Yuan Power to cover his entire body, preventing himself from being burned.

Lin Dong climbed up the rock with both hands and feet, only to discover that at the top of the rock, there was a hole constantly spewing high-temperature gas.

"So all this Yang Gang Qi is erupting from underground!"

Lin Dong nodded, then looked at the enchanting flower beside the hole.

As if sensing Lin Dong's gaze, the enchanting flower gently swayed, and the red mist surrounding it suddenly drifted out, wrapping around Lin Dong's body!

Lin Dong's mind instantly became dazed, and his body felt extremely tired and weak, as if the life force within him was being continuously drained! At the same time, the strange flower grew even more vivid and alluring.

Just as Lin Changqiang clenched his fists, anxious and uneasy, Lin Dong's right palm suddenly trembled violently. An invisible ripple spread outward, directly scattering the blood-red mist!

Lin Dong finally snapped back to his senses. He looked at the flower in shock and horror, then turned to retreat without a second thought.

But at that moment, his palm erupted with a powerful suction force, pulling the enchanting flower out of the ground and slamming it directly into his right hand!

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."

The moment the flower crashed into Lin Dong's palm, strange rays of light shot out, and the enchanting flower instantly turned into a thick red liquid.

At the same time, the Spiritual Power in Lin Dong's mind churned violently, causing his temples to pulse.

"What's happening?" His heart shook, but before he could figure it out, the red liquid directly drilled into his palm~

"Boom!"

Lin Dong's mind roared. He felt a powerful energy rapidly traveling through his body, finally plunging into his mind!

"Ah!"

A scream rang out. Lin Dong's grip loosened, and he fell directly from the rock into Lin Changqiang's arms.

Lin Dong struggled and convulsed wildly. He felt as if his head was about to explode, the intense pain twisting his face beyond recognition, making him look ferocious, with tears squeezing from the corners of his eyes.

"Lin Dong, quickly circulate the Divine Movement Chapter!" Lin Changqiang held Lin Dong tightly. Whether it would help or not, he desperately urged his Yin Fiend Qi and hastily took out the Ghost Captain from his backpack, clumsily draping it over Lin Dong.

"Spirit divides Yin and Yang, movement of spirit, beginning of life..."

"Spirit divides Yin and Yang, movement of spirit, beginning of life..."

Lin Dong clearly heard Lin Changqiang's shout and began circulating the Divine Movement Chapter. Before long, he stopped struggling, and his breathing gradually steadied.

"Talisman Master Apprentice, twenty-six percent."

"Talisman Master Apprentice, thirty-seven percent."

"Talisman Master Apprentice, forty-eight percent."

Watching his skyrocketing Spiritual Power cultivation, Lin Changqiang frowned deeply, feeling no joy at all.

"This time, I owe you one..."

Lin Changqiang sighed. Although he knew that with the Ancestral Stone and Little Sable around, Lin Dong would surely escape danger, he still felt quite guilty.

A few minutes later, Lin Dong's tightly shut eyes suddenly snapped open. A powerful surge of Spiritual Power erupted from within his Mud Pill Palace!

"Boom!"

An invisible ripple spread outward in all directions with Lin Dong at the center. The broken rocks on the ground were flung away in a ring, slamming heavily into the mountain wall. Lin Changqiang, being closest to Lin Dong, took the brunt of it and let out a muffled groan.

"Phew."

Lin Dong let out a long breath, then raised his head.

"...Had enough of holding?"

Lin Changqiang's body stiffened. He looked down and met Lin Dong's dead-fish eyes.

"...Yeah." The corner of his mouth twitched as he silently let go.

"..."

"..."

"Clatter!"

Just as the two couldn't think of anything to say and the atmosphere grew awkward, the crack leading outside suddenly produced a lifesaving sound, and several figures rushed in hurriedly.

"Dad, Grandpa!" Seeing the arrivals, Lin Dong was startled and quickly called out. Lin Changqiang also breathed a sigh of relief.

The ones charging into the cave were Lin Zhentian, Lin Xiao, and the others.

"Two reckless brats, daring to barge into a place you know nothing about!" Lin Zhentian quickly rushed to their side, his gaze sweeping over them with concern. Only after seeing that both were unharmed did he relax.

Lin Xiao and the others also sighed in relief, then began examining the cave's surroundings. Soon, surprise appeared on their faces.

"The Yang Gang Qi is incredibly rich!"

Lin Xiao and the others were initially delighted, but soon furrowed their brows.

"What a pity. This Yang Gang Qi is too violent to be directly absorbed into the body. Otherwise, this place could have been considered a cultivation treasure."

Lin Zhentian was the most disappointed. The Yang Gang Qi here was far stronger than the most ordinary kind found between heaven and earth. If it could be absorbed directly, his strength, which had stagnated for over a decade, might finally break through.

Lin Zhentian was already at the Late Heavenly Origin Stage. One more step forward, and he could enter the Yuan Dan Stage—a monumental event for the entire Lin Family.

Seeing Lin Zhentian's dejected expression, Lin Xiao and the others felt disheartened as well. If Lin Zhentian could step into the Yuan Dan Stage, the Lin Family would not only have a foothold in Qingyang Town but also carve out a place for themselves in Flame City!

As Lin Zhentian and the others fell into silence, Lin Dong wore a contemplative look. After hesitating for a moment, he silently extended his right hand.

A surge of suction force radiated from his palm, drawing in the surrounding Yang Gang Qi. Of course, Lin Dong didn't absorb it directly into his body. Instead, he channeled it into the Stone Talisman first, refining it.

"Dong'er, what are you doing? You can't absorb this Yang Gang Qi directly!"

The fluctuation nearby caught Lin Zhentian's attention. He turned around and, upon seeing Lin Dong's actions, was greatly alarmed. Lin Xiao and the others snapped out of their thoughts, followed Lin Zhentian's gaze, and their expressions shifted drastically.

"Grandfather, this Yang Gang Qi can be absorbed now."

Under the stunned gazes of Lin Xiao and the others, Lin Dong smiled faintly and raised his right hand. A ball of pale red gas slowly rose from his palm.

"This..."

Lin Xiao and the others were dumbfounded, staring at the scene in disbelief. They could clearly sense that this Yang Gang Qi was no longer violent—it had reached a state suitable for cultivation!
