Lin Mo was in a miserable fix.
After he swallowed the Fire Lotus Root, his dantian seemed to become a battlefield of ice and fire. Water-element spiritual energy laced with frost aura and fiercely scorching Fire Element spiritual energy began madly fighting over territory.
The other three elements trembled in fear before those two big brothers, hiding in a corner of his dantian without daring to interfere.
As the owner of this battlefield, Lin Mo turned blue one moment and red the next. Frosty white mist streamed from one nostril, while the other seemed to have caught fire, puffing out crimson flames.
"Something smells strange... Oh, my nose hairs are burning..."
Lin Mo sat cross-legged on the ground, one half of his body shivering uncontrollably while the other resembled a cooked prawn. There was even a faint aroma of roasting meat.
When he was little, the elders of Locust Grass Village had teased him, telling him that once he grew up, he had to find a beautiful wife and experience those heavenly layers of ice and fire.
Lin Mo had not understood back then, but as he grew older, he naturally came to understand what they meant.
Now he was caught between ice and fire too, but it was nothing like the wonderful sensation he had imagined. It was torture, and he felt as though his entire body was about to fall apart!
"If this keeps up, I... I'll die..."
Lin Mo clenched his teeth. With his frost-covered right hand trembling, he pulled his Storage Bag from inside his robes, then mustered every ounce of strength to circulate his spiritual energy, forcibly squeezing a strand of wood-element spiritual energy out from between the water and fire elements.
In the five-element cycle, water nurtured wood, and wood fed fire. Big Brother
