Lu Pingping followed his gaze and immediately became alert, with a hint of nervousness in his tone. "You almost died just now, do you know that?"
Jiang Fa looked away and looked at her.
Lu Pingping looked at him for a moment, then turned away and said in a dull tone, "I don't want to care about you, I'm afraid that if you die, I won't be able to get out alone."
Jiang Fa raised the corners of her mouth slightly, but did not expose her.
He slowly stood up from the spring.
After a little movement of his muscles and bones, the joints made a series of crisp popping sounds, the blood and energy in his body surged like a tide, and every inch of his muscles was filled with explosive power.
"How long have I been unconscious?"
Lu Pingping glanced at him, with a hint of helplessness in his tone. "One day and one night."
Jiang Fa's movements suddenly stopped.
"One day and one night?"
He was stunned for a moment,
In his perception, from swallowing Scarlet Flame Vermilion Fruit to waking up, it only took one stick of incense.
But the reality is that in the process of being calcined by earth fire and tempered by glass, his body was completely cut off from the outside world, and even the passage of time became blurred.
He stepped out of the spring, and the tattered green cloth clothes on his body were soaked by the water and completely stuck to his body.
The thin fabric outlines the outline of his body.
Lu Pingping's eyes glanced over unintentionally, and his face suddenly turned away as if he had been burned.
The base of her ears started to feel hot again.
This man's figure... She quickly stopped her thoughts and cursed herself hard in her heart.
Don't look at anything that's inappropriate, don't look at anything that's inappropriate.
Jiang Fa was completely unaware, twisting the water from his clothes, and looked up to see Lu Pingping sitting upright on his side, facing the rock wall, as if there was some beautiful scenery on that rock wall.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Lu Pingping was so nervous that he didn't even dare to look back. "You... you can clean it up yourself. I'll go see if there is any dry firewood over there."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked towards the other side of the cave as if running away.
Jiang Fa looked at her back, lowered his head and looked at himself. He reacted belatedly and twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.
When Lu Pingping came back, he held a small bundle of dry vines in his arms.
She placed these on the edge of the stone platform, lit the fire again, then took out the Rock Lizard meat left over from last time, skewered it with the tip of a sword and roasted it slowly on the fire.
The two sat on the ground, and the firelight reflected the cave wall in varying degrees of light and dark. Occasionally, the sound of bubbling geothermal springs broke the silence.
Lu Pingping ate slowly, his eyes always falling on the fire, occasionally flicking the charcoal with the tip of his sword.
She did not ask Jiang Fa what happened just now, nor what kind of exercises he practiced.
She knows that everyone has secrets and there is no need to find out.
If she didn't ask, there was no need for him to take the initiative to explain.
He knew that it was impossible for Lu Pingping's eyesight not to see the clues in the movements of his body before.
But since she didn't ask, he was happy with it.
The two of them had a tacit understanding.
I finished the pieces of Rock Lizard meat in silence.
Lu Pingping wiped the oil stains on the sword and suddenly said, "What are you going to do with those two Scarlet Flame Vermilion Fruit?"
Jiang Fa was cutting a vine with a ghost head knife, and when he heard this, his hand movements paused slightly.
He was silent for a moment, and his eyes fell on the Scarlet Flame Vermilion Fruit.
Now only two of the three fruits are left, glowing with red light in the mist, like two beating hearts.
"I want to try."
He spoke slowly.
Lu Pingping's brows suddenly wrinkled.
Of course she was not reluctant to part with these fruits.
Scarlet Flame Vermilion Fruit Although it is precious, she is not a body-refining warrior after all, so this thing is of little use to her.
She was just a little worried.
Jiang Fa knew what she was worried about and patiently explained, "After the first fruit passed, my body has gradually adapted to the energy of earth and fire. If I take it again later, the risk will be much smaller than before."
Lu Pingping stared at him for a long time.
I know in my heart that what Jiang Fa said makes some sense.
The truth is this.
But whenever she thought of the scene just now, she still couldn't help but feel palpitations in her heart.
Jiang Fa Looking at her hesitant expression, my heart felt slightly warm.
"It's really okay."
His tone slowed down a bit. "Now my physical body is stronger than before. If I take it again, the pain will be much less and the risk will be much lower."
Lu Pingping stared at him for a few seconds, and finally snorted softly, "It's up to you, your life is your own anyway."
Jiang Fa saw that she no longer objected, and a smile appeared on her face.
"How's your recovery going?"
He suddenly looked at her and asked.
Lu Pingping Hearing this, he raised his head and frowned slightly. "It's a little stronger than yesterday. The power in the meridians can already operate slightly, but it may take two or three days to return to full strength."
Jiang Fa nodded. "That's good. I'll digest those two Scarlet Flame Vermilion Fruit first. You can take advantage of this period to regain your strength. When everything is done, we will find a way to leave here."
Lu Pingping has no objection.
She just held the long black sword and moved to the stone platform to make room for Jiang Fa. Then she turned her face to the other side of the cave, leaving him with a thin back.
Jiang Fa was in no hurry to take action.
He first sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing for about a stick of incense, completely calming down the surging Qi and blood in his body.
Although the medicinal power of the first Scarlet Flame Vermilion Fruit has been completely absorbed, the burning aftertaste of the earthly fire energy remains in the flesh and blood.
Like an iron block that has not been completely cooled after quenching, although the surface temperature has dropped, there is still a layer of hotness inside.
He circulated Seven-Colored Glazed Glass Art and moved the energy and blood through the meridians for three Greater Celestial Circuit. It was not until every trace of flesh and blood returned to normal that he slowly opened his eyes.
"Ready?"
Lu Pingping didn't look back, his voice was muffled.
"Hmm."
Jiang Fa stood up and walked to the Scarlet Flame Vermilion Fruit plant.
The second fruit is no different from the first, and is similar in size.
He took a deep breath and reached out to pick the fruit.
The moment I took it, the familiar burning sensation came from my palm again, but this time, it was far less unbearable than the first time.
His skin was tempered by the first fruit, and its toughness was more than twice as strong as before. Although the temperature of the fruit was still scalding hot, it could no longer cause real harm to him.
He put the fruit into his mouth.
The pulp melted in his mouth, and a familiar earth-fire energy exploded in his belly.
But this time, the situation was completely different.
The energy of earth fire no longer ran rampant and wreaked havoc everywhere as before, but as soon as it entered the abdomen, it was enveloped by the power of glazed energy and blood pouring in from all directions.
The qi and blood in the body are like hunters who have been waiting for a long time, dividing, surrounding and swallowing the earth and fire qi one by one.
The severe pain of the ground fire still existed, but it was no longer the heart-rending, unbearable pain, but a tolerable warmth wrapped in layers.
It was like putting your hand into a slightly scalding hot spring. It was a little uncomfortable at first, but you quickly got used to it.
