Both Advance

"Brother Lin Ming, you're out!" Upon seeing Lin Ming emerge, Qing Lin immediately stepped forward, asking with a worried expression.

Lin Ming was unaware that Qing Lin and Elder Hai worried because his prolonged laughter had made them think Lin Ming had suffered some kind of shock.

At first glance, Lin Ming only saw Qing Lin. Seeing the worried look on Qing Lin's face, he assumed that Qing Lin hadn't seen him for a few days and was therefore missing him. So Lin Ming immediately smiled and said to Qing Lin, "Qing Lin, your Brother Lin Ming is just stabilizing his cultivation level. There's no danger, so you don't need to worry. Come on, give your Brother Lin Ming a smile."

Seeing that Brother Lin Ming was acting the same as usual, Qing Lin's worried expression faded, and she fulfilled Lin Ming's request with a smile.

Seeing Qing Lin smile, Lin Ming nodded in satisfaction. However, unnoticed by Lin Ming, Elder Hai also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew! I've reached the Three-Star Dou King level! This feeling of advancement is truly wonderful!" After refining the energy within his body and sensing that his cultivation had reached the Three-Star Dou King, Lin Ming couldn't help but exclaim.

Three months have passed since the first Earth Fire Lotus Seed was refined.

During these three months, Lin Ming refined one Earth Fire Lotus Seed every half month. And today, after refining five more Earth Fire Lotus Seed, Lin Ming's cultivation level directly reached the Three-Star Dou King realm.

However, after raising his cultivation to the Three-Star Dou King, Lin Ming could clearly feel that his control over Dou Qi was not as smooth as before.

At the Jia Nan Academy, with the pure Dou Qi of the Fallen Heart Flame, and his occasional battles with Zi Yan and the Snow Demon Sky Ape in the forest to seize medicinal herbs, Lin Ming could be said to have completely and precisely control over his own Dou Qi.

However, since advancing to the Dou Wang level, Lin Ming has not engaged in any battles. In addition, in just two or three months, he has raised his cultivation level from the newly advanced Dou Wang level to the three-star Dou Wang level. This has caused Lin Ming's originally solid Dou Qi to become unstable, making him clearly feel a bit stiff in his control of Dou Qi.

"Sigh!" After a sigh, Lin Ming said to himself, "It seems I won't be able to use the Earth Fire Lotus Seed for a while!"

While refining the Earth Fire Lotus Seed can rapidly improve one's cultivation, continuing to refine it now would inevitably cause Lin Ming's Earth Fire Lotus Seed Dou Qi to become completely unstable.

In that case, even if one's cultivation level increases, their actual combat strength might actually decrease. After all, how much power can someone who can't even fully control their own Dou Qi actually unleash when facing a powerful enemy?

Another fatal problem with weak Dou Qi is that it is almost impossible to advance to Dou Emperor. In the original work, Xiao Yan was able to advance to Dou Emperor because he refined the Fallen Heart Flame, which constantly helped him refine and solidify his weak Dou Qi.

However, Lin Ming currently lacks the Fallen Heart Flame to strengthen his Dou Qi. Therefore, while everything is still under control, Lin Ming immediately decided that he should refrain from refining Earth Fire Lotus Seed to improve his cultivation for the foreseeable future.

"Right, let's see how much the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire has improved." Suddenly thinking to himself, Lin Ming conjured up the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire in Lin Ming hand with a thought.

At this moment, the color of the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire changed. The proportion of Green Flames had become larger, and only a small portion of the golden flames remained at the bottom. Furthermore, the blue color was more intense than before.

"It seems to be evolving in the direction of the Azure Green Lotus Core Flame." Lin Ming said, observing the change in the color of the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire.

"Let's see how much the power has increased." After saying that, Lin Ming threw the flame in his hand toward the ground.

"This... this is more than double the improvement!" Lin Ming said, quite shocked, looking at the huge, dark crater that had appeared on the ground.

Seeing such power, Lin Ming said to himself again, "Judging from this, the special Flame Berserk Factor in the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire must have reached around fifty to increase its power to such an extent."

After tidying up the room briefly, Lin Ming went outside.

"Brother Lin Ming, look, what changes have you noticed in Qing Lin?" Upon seeing Lin Ming come out, Qing Lin immediately came to Lin Ming side and said with a big smile.

"My Qing Lin is truly amazing; she broke through to the Dou Zhe in such a short time." With Lin Ming's current cultivation level and Soul Power, he immediately noticed that Qing Lin had already reached the Dou Zhe level. So, looking at Qing Lin, Lin Ming praised her.

"Hehe!" Qing Lin laughed immediately upon hearing Lin Ming's praise.

A moment later, Qing Lin immediately asked Lin Ming mysteriously, "Brother Lin Ming, do you know why Qing Lin was able to advance to the Dou Zhe level so quickly?"

Lin Ming, of course, knew why Qing Lin had advanced to the Dou Zhe level so quickly. However, saying it out loud would ruin Qing Lin's mysterious act. So, Lin Ming looked at Qing Lin and said with a smile, "That's because Qing Lin is so smart and cute, so her talent is outstanding, which is why she was able to reach the Dou Zhe so quickly."

"That's not what you're talking about, Brother Lin Ming!" Qing Lin protested softly, her face flushed.

Then, under Lin Ming's smiling gaze, Qing Lin spoke again, "Qing Lin was able to reach Dou Zhe Qing Lin level so quickly thanks to the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake you gave me, Brother Lin Ming. Ever since I signed the contract with the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, Qing Lin's cultivation has been rapidly increasing. And that's how I achieved my current Dou Zhe cultivation."

"Lin Ming, I am extremely surprised that Qing Lin Dou Zhe advanced to the Dou Zhe level. It can only be said that Qing Lin's ability to improve her cultivation by using snake-like Magical Beasts is too heaven-defying!" At this moment, Elder Hai also sighed.

"Indeed!" Lin Ming had to nod in agreement with what Elder Hai had said.

"Elder Hai, Xiao Ming is about to Qing Lin Departs." After a moment, Lin Ming told Elder Hai about his plan to leave.

Upon hearing Lin Ming's words about leaving, Elder Hai showed no surprise. Instead, he agreed, saying, "With your and Qing Lin's talents, it's time for you to go out and gain some experience. So, once you've made your decision, go!"

"Elder Hai, don't worry! I'll definitely find a way to remove the Cultivation Seal your cultivation this time Xiao Ming go out." Looking at Elder Hai's aged face, Lin Ming, who already had a plan, immediately spoke up.

"Haha, then I'll be waiting for your good news, Lin Ming!" Seeing Lin Ming's earnest words, Elder Hai, though not holding high hopes, still replied with a Lin Ming.

"Elder Hai, Qing Lin will also find a way to break the Cultivation Seal your cultivation." At this moment, upon learning that she was about to leave with her Brother Lin Ming, Qing Lin spoke with a touch of sadness.

"Haha, Elder Hai is also waiting for good news from Qing Lin." Elder Hai replied kindly to the adorable Qing Lin.
