Ice-Fire Dragon-Whisker Fruit

After putting away the Star Dragon Blade, Lin Ming spread his crystal wings and headed towards the inner courtyard. Just as he was about to reach the inner courtyard, Lin Ming landed at the edge of the forest and walked back.

After returning to the Medicine Gang, Lin Ming placed a large wooden tub in the room, filled it with water, and then took out several Jade Bottle from his Storage Ring. Lin Ming opened the Jade Bottle, and some liquid dripped from the Jade Bottle into the wooden tub.

The liquids contained in the Jade Bottle that Lin Ming took out were medicinal solutions for repairing injuries caused by the power of lightning.

Absorbing the power of lightning inevitably causes some damage to the body. However, most of the major losses are healed during the process of absorbing the power of lightning using the Purple Lightning Radiant Body Technique.

However, some minor injuries cannot be completely treated. These minor injuries may not pose a major problem in the short term, but if they accumulate over time, they will cause harm. Therefore, Lin Ming prepared these medicinal liquids to repair Lei Ting's injuries.

After dripping the medicinal liquid into the clear water in the wooden tub, the color of the originally clear and transparent water changed rapidly. After a while, Lin Ming saw that the water in the wooden tub had turned greenish-blue, and he nodded in satisfaction. Then he took off his clothes, went into the wooden tub, and soaked in the water.

Inside the wooden tub, soaking in water containing medicinal liquid, a cool sensation emanated from Lin Ming's body. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a faint burning sensation spread through some parts of Lin Ming's body.

The slight warmth made Lin Ming feel exceptionally comfortable, so much so that Lin Ming fell asleep inside the wooden tub.

When Lin Ming woke up, it was already close to dusk.

After stretching and seeing that the water in the tub was clear again, Lin Ming stood up from the tub and put on his clothes.

After draining the water from the wooden bucket, senior student Xu Shilin called Lin Ming to have dinner in the lobby. Lin Ming then went to the lobby.

"Junior brother, in less than a day, I feel you've changed quite a bit!" Xu Shilin noticed the significant changes in Lin Ming at a glance and asked with curiosity.

"I practiced a body-refining Dou Technique today and made some progress; my physical body has grown somewhat," Lin Ming replied.

"Oh, to see results from body-refining Dou Technique within a day requires enduring a great deal of pain. With your talent and such hard work, Junior Brother, you'll probably be able to climb the Strong Ranking in no time," Xu Shilin said confidently.

Xu Shilin was also familiar with body-refining Body Refining Fighting Skill Dou Technique, as many of them required a long period of practice to achieve results.

As for those Body Refining Fighting Skills that produce results in a relatively short period of time, they require enduring extreme pain and using some extreme energy from heaven and earth to accelerate the improvement of the body.

When Xu Shilin chatted with Lin Ming last night, Lin Ming's physical body was still normal. Now, less than a day later, when he saw Lin Ming again, Xu Shilin could clearly see that his junior brother Lin Ming's physical body had been strengthened.

The fact that Lin Ming could improve his physical body to a level that could be noticed by outsiders in less than a day shows that his physical improvement was quite significant.

Given such a significant improvement in such a short time, Xu Shilin was certain that Lin Ming had used the second method, employing extreme energy from heaven and earth to enhance his physical body.

Although this method is quick to produce results, the process of body tempering is quite dangerous and accompanied by extreme pain.

So, after finishing his speech, Xu Shilin, as the senior student, patted Lin Ming on the shoulder and said, "Let's eat!"

Lin Ming nodded and sat down with his senior brother to have dinner.

Back in his room at night, Lin Ming cultivated for several hours before falling asleep.

After waking up and having breakfast, Lin Ming went to the Medicine Refinement Hall to help Pill Refining, spending the rest of the day refining medicine.

At night, Lin Ming discovered that the Fire Poison within the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire was almost completely cleared, meaning Lin Ming would be able to enter the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower again to begin his cultivation the next day.

Thinking about the next five days of cultivation, Lin Ming went straight to sleep after returning to his room tonight.

Lin Ming woke up early in the morning. After washing up and having breakfast, Lin Ming headed towards the location of the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower.

After Lin Ming waited outside the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower for a while, the bell rang to open the door, and Lin Ming was once again among the first to enter the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower.

After entering the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, Lin Ming headed towards the second floor. He then selected an empty Cultivation Room from among the best ones on the second floor, went inside, closed the Cultivation Room, and began his cultivation.

When immersed in rapid training, time always flies by.

Lin Ming sensed that he hadn't been in the Cultivation Room for long, but the accumulated Fire Poison within the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire was already full, and the Fire Energy Points on the Fire Crystal Card had decreased by ten.

All of this fully demonstrates that Lin Ming has been cultivating in the Cultivation Room for five days now.

Lin Ming could only accept the fact that time was passing so quickly. After taking the Fire Crystal Card off the stone platform and putting it away, he opened the door to the Cultivation Room and left the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower.

After leaving the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, Lin Ming returned to the Medicine Gang, by which time it was already completely dark.

After returning to his room, Lin Ming washed up and went to sleep to make up for the lack of sleep he had gotten over the previous five days.

In the morning, while Lin Ming was eating breakfast, a Little Girl's clear voice rang out, calling Lin Ming's name.

Upon hearing the voice, Lin Ming knew it was Zi Yan. Lin Ming then called out to Zi Yan.

Not long after Lin Ming finished speaking, Zi Yan, with purple hair, arrived at the place where Lin Ming was eating.

"Zi Yan, have you had breakfast? Would you like to come and have some with us?" Lin Ming said upon seeing Zi Yan.

"Okay, then I'll have some with you, Lin Ming." Zi Yan said, walking to the table and picking up the steamed buns on it, putting them into her mouth one by one. Before long, Zi Yan had put several baskets of steamed buns into her small belly.

Seeing that Zi Yan's stomach didn't change at all after she ate all those baskets of steamed buns, Lin Ming thought to himself, "It seems that Zi Yan, who has transformed from the Ancient Void Dragon, is still more suited to taking Medicinal Pill. Food that ordinary people eat, which doesn't contain much energy, doesn't make a ripple at all when it enters Zi Yan's stomach!"

After finishing his meal, Lin Ming put down his chopsticks and said to Zi Yan, "Come upstairs with me! I'll help you refine it."

"Hehe!" Zi Yan revealed her cute little tiger teeth and skipped upstairs with Lin Ming.

After returning to his room, Lin Ming took out the Crimson Flow Gold Cauldron and placed it inside. He then asked Zi Yan to bring out the medicinal herbs he wanted to refine.

Looking at the Storage Ring in his hand, Lin Ming took out all the medicinal herbs inside. One peculiar herb caught Lin Ming attention.

The fruit of this medicinal herb is about the size of a palm, which is not unusual in itself. However, its color is extremely peculiar, being half deep red and half snow white.

The deep red side radiated intense heat, and even from a distance of two or three feet, Lin Ming could feel the heat emanating from it.

The snow-white fruit, contrasting with its red half, exuded a chilling aura.

Given the fruit's unusual shape, Lin Ming, who had studied medicinal herb books within his family for three years, naturally recognized its name at first glance.

"Ice Fire Dragon Whisker Fruit" is the name of this strange fruit. Lin Ming still remembers the description of the Ice Fire Dragon Whisker Fruit in the classic books.

The Ice Fire Dragon Whisker Fruit is a marvel of nature, combining the power of ice and fire. When the power of ice and fire converges and intertwines, the traces of heaven and earth manifest on the surface of the fruit, leaving behind a shape resembling a dragon's whisker, hence the name Ice Fire Dragon Whisker Fruit.

Among these medicinal herbs, Lin Ming immediately noticed the Ice Fire Dragon Whisker Fruit. Besides the Ice Fire Dragon Whisker Fruit's own uniqueness, Lin Ming also vaguely remembered that in the original Old Yao, the herb that Yao Lao prepared for Xiao Yan to refine the Fallen Heart Flame was this Ice Fire Dragon Whisker Fruit.

Lin Ming also coveted the Fallen Heart Flame, so when Lin Ming saw the Ice Fire Dragon Whisker Fruit, knowing it was a material to aid in absorbing Heavenly Flames pills, Lin Ming certainly wouldn't let Zi Yan refine it into Medicinal Pill and consume it.

In Lin Ming's plan, the auxiliary pill for absorbing the Fallen Heart Flame in the future would be the same kind of pill that Xiao Yan used in the original novel. Lin Ming already had a rough plan in mind on how to get his hands on the pill formula.

Even if we take a step back and don't get hold of the pill's formula, Lin Ming, who already possesses the Ice-Fire Dragon Ice Fire Dragon Whisker Fruit, could still exchange it with Xiao Yan.

The Ice Fire Dragon Whisker Fruit is the only one of its kind in the Jia Nan Academy. In the original novel, Xiao Yan obtained it from the medicinal herb warehouse after entering the Inner Academy, which is how he met Zi Yan.

Because of Lin Ming's presence, Zi Yan obtained delicious Medicinal Pill from Lin Ming in advance. Thus, the unpalatable Ice Fire Dragon Whisker Fruit was taken by Zi Yan ahead of time, which surprised Lin Ming, but also made sense to him.

Lin Ming's appearance has changed some things in the original story. Lin Ming hasn't had much contact with Xiao Yan yet, so the changes aren't significant at the moment. However, as his cultivation level increases, the high-level resources will become more limited. If Lin Ming wants to improve his cultivation, he will inevitably take away some of Xiao Yan's opportunities from the original story.

However, it's too early to talk about high-level resources now. Lin Ming is thinking that even if he can't get the medicine to help refine the Fallen Heart Flame from Xiao Yan, he will still exchange it with Xiao Yan, who has Old Yao by his side, using the Ice Fire Dragon Whisker Fruit.

With Old Yao's collection, it should be able to meet Lin Ming's needs. Therefore, Lin Ming naturally planned to keep this Ice Fire Dragon Whisker Fruit for himself.

Lin Ming then spoke to Zi Yan, saying, "Zi Yan, I have a great use for this Ice Fire Dragon Whisker Fruit, so I've accepted it. I'll refine the rest of the medicinal herbs into Medicinal Pill for you."

"Okay!" Zi Yan nodded generously.
