The Awakening of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils
"Master, I think I found something strange."
Qing Lin, who had been silent and shy all this time, suddenly spoke up. The events of the day had taken her by surprise, but she had enjoyed spending time with her master and senior sister.
Under the circumstances, she naturally wanted to do something for her master.
And Qing Lin really had found something different.
It seemed a very, very powerful big sister with a tail had been here before.
But Qing Lin did not know much beyond that.
The presence of that snake sister frightened her a little, and she instinctively did not want her master and the others to take the risk.
"Master, that's all. The snake sister who was here before must be very powerful. Could we not go?"
Looking pitiful, Qing Lin instinctively wanted to avoid the danger. After all, her life was already so happy that there was no need to put herself in danger just to find something.
"My Little Qing Lin is so cute."
Xiao Xuan could not help laughing. He really did not seem to have shown this girl how strong he was before, having left everything to Xiao Yi Xian.
This was a good chance to broaden the little girl's horizons in a moment.
The snake sister in this great desert seemed to be Queen Medusa! She was a magical beast at the Peak Sixth Tier, but to Xiao Xuan, she was no different.
A snake-type magical beast looking for Heavenly Flames?
Interesting!
With Xiao Xuan's knowledge, he immediately guessed that she was seeking to evolve.
Not bad, not bad. The little one had a bright future, knowing what she needed.
With the power of a Heavenly Flame, if she really succeeded in evolving, she would have the potential to reach Dou Zun at the very least. If he fed her some heavenly treasures from time to time, reaching the ninth tier would not be difficult either.
The more Xiao Xuan thought about it, the better it sounded. A thousand years ago, the Xiao Clan had also kept several ninth-tier magical beasts. After all, they lived a long time.
But by now, he feared they had long since been stewed into soup.
It was just the right time to replenish their numbers.
As for their past grudges, there would be plenty of chances to settle them. Xiao Xuan concealed the cold gleam in his eyes, then gently hugged Little Qing Lin and comforted her as though soothing a child.
"Don't be afraid! Master will take you to fight a monster."
A snake-type magical beast!
If her evolution failed, he could also give her to Qing Lin for practice.
With the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, the more of these magical beasts Qing Lin absorbed, the faster she could cultivate.
As for whether those magical beasts would cooperate, couldn't he just beat them until they couldn't take care of themselves?
Xiao Xuan had always taken meticulous care of his own people.
"Wait. Before we leave, let's gather up the good things here."
The Earth Flame Green Lotus and the lotus seeds on it!
It seemed that the Heavenly Flame that had appeared here was the Green Lotus Core Flame, ranked nineteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.
Its ranking was a little low, but it could not have been better for laying Little Yanzi's foundation. If the Heavenly Flame were any stronger, it might just burn the boy to ashes.
Not everyone had the same perseverance as he did.
After leaving some of the roots and stems behind, Xiao Xuan was about to leave when he discovered that the beast that had been hiding in the lava beside them had actually attacked.
I was going to spare your life, but since you're so blind, I might as well kill you.
At this "critical" moment, however, Qing Lin's pupils suddenly changed, and the presence around her underwent an even more profound and unfathomable transformation.
Had they awakened?
Xiao Xuan's gaze sharpened. He had originally planned to wait until the girl cultivated to Dou Zhe before personally inducing the awakening of her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.
He had not expected that a little stimulation from an outside threat would make her awaken them on her own.
There were advantages and disadvantages to this method of awakening!
After all, when one was too weak, unleashing too much power could hardly fail to damage one's potential.
But with Xiao Xuan watching over her, nothing could go wrong.
"Breathe steadily. Calm down!"
Xiao Xuan's voice, mixed with soul fluctuations, entered Qing Lin's little ears and reached the depths of her soul. Like a refreshing summer rain, it quickly calmed the changes in her.
Xiao Xuan did not waste the power surging out beside her, either. He condensed it into an essence core and added a little something to it.
She would not need to condense her Dou Qi Vortex herself, either. Xiao Xuan simply pressed the essence core, formed from Qing Lin's own power, into her lower abdomen.
Her subsequent cultivation would follow naturally.
In Xiao Xuan's eyes, going from Dou Qi to Dou Zhe was really no more than a matter of water flowing when the channel was ready.
With a sufficiently powerful and stable external force, one could easily cross that threshold.
Of course, to guarantee that nothing went wrong, that external force had to come from a Dou Sheng at the very least.
"How do you feel, Little Qing Lin?"
Seeing her open her eyes, Xiao Yi Xian asked with great concern. She had thought the trip would be smooth sailing, but the girl had unexpectedly gotten herself into trouble.
Still, the result should be all right.
Xiao Yi Xian suddenly felt that her Woeful Poison Body had lost its appeal. It did not seem as powerful as her junior sister's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils!
Judging by their presence alone, it seemed her poisons really would not do much.
"See if you can subdue this little thing."
At the side, Xiao Xuan casually suppressed the magical beast that had lunged out. It was at the fourth tier, barely acceptable! It probably would not cause the girl Qing Lin to lose control, either.
"I... can I do it?"
Qing Lin still looked rather weak and could not speak very clearly, but there was no fear in her eyes.
Though the sudden surge of power had lasted only an instant, it had given her firm confidence.
Was this what Master meant when he said I had good talent?
"Give it a try!"
Speaking softly, Xiao Xuan left the final choice to her. Either way, it was only a beast. If Qing Lin did not want it, he would simply kill it.
"All right!"
With Xiao Xuan holding her little hand, Qing Lin slowly touched the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's forehead.
The slightly rough texture made Qing Lin uncomfortable, but her master's warm, gentle hand gave her boundless strength.
I can do it.
Sure enough, a jade-green light shone from Qing Lin once more. A mysterious vortex suddenly appeared in her pupils, seemingly connected to a strange space beyond.
Even Xiao Xuan, standing right beside her, could not quite figure out exactly how it worked.
Of course, if he had a few specimens to take apart and study properly, Xiao Xuan was confident that nothing could stump him.
But if he had to use his disciple for his research, it was not so easy to lay hands on her.
Watching the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils display their power again, Xiao Xuan felt a measure of satisfaction.
I raised them all with my own hands!
The fate of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, unable to move, was obvious. Qing Lin easily took it into the mysterious space in her pupils, to serve as a resource for her future cultivation.
That was how the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils worked: they relied on enslaving these snake-type magical beasts to strengthen their owner.
The jade-green light gradually faded, and the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake finally turned into a bracelet around Qing Lin's slender wrist.
"Quite pretty."
Xiao Xuan took her little hand and examined it, very satisfied with the effect of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.
He had made no mistake in taking this disciple.
