Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 47 Water and Fire
Xu Heng guessed that the third layer of the cold pool would be even colder, but he didn't expect it to be so intense, literally growing exponentially.

In just an instant, the fierce cold air invaded his body from every pore, spread to his muscles and bones, and quickly invaded his five internal organs.

Xu Heng was startled and quickly transferred his true energy. Only then did pure heat flow out from the depths of his body, forcing the cold energy back and preventing it from invading his internal organs.

But Xu Heng did not expect that although he could use his true energy to drive away the cold, the cold air from the outside was still seeping in, like a layer of cold clothes that tightly bound him.

No matter what Xu Heng did, the cold air was forced to the surface of his body. Once the cold air was forced out of the body, it flowed back again, but the full effect was never achieved.

And at the same time, Xu Heng's whole body was frozen and he was still falling deeper.

The third floor was already extremely cold. If he fell to the fourth floor, the consequences would be unimaginable. Xu Heng might not be able to resist anymore and would sink to the bottom, becoming a zombie in the depths of the cold pool.

The situation was critical and there was no room for Xu Heng to hesitate any longer. He could only grit his teeth and mobilize his true energy with all his strength. He used both his mind and heart to drive the cold energy in his body to one place, then wrapped it up and suppressed it forcefully, while transporting it to The body surface is firmly isolated from the invasion of cold air.

Despite the dangerous situation, Xu Heng finally saw results. Xu Heng gradually felt that his body had regained some vitality. He hurriedly scooped up the water and floated upward quickly.

In the cold pool, each layer is distinct. The water scooped up from the third layer, when it reaches the second and first floors, it actually condenses and does not disperse, nor is it penetrated or mixed. It jumps out of the water with Xu Heng. , this trip to fetch water was not considered a failure.

But Xu Heng had no time to care. He landed on the ground and immediately sat down cross-legged, trying to use his energy to force out the cold air.

Without external restraints, Xu Heng could successfully force the cold air out of his body, but unexpectedly, the cold air seemed to have condensed and stayed in his body.

Xu Heng continued to move his energy, but he was able to move it completely without any trace. Steam was rising from the top, but a thin layer of frost formed between his brows.

Xu Heng was still waiting to try other methods, but the yellow-faced Taoist boy advised him: "Brother, there is no need to do the exercises. You will have to fan the fire later and bake it for a while, and it will naturally warm up."

"Oh?" Xu Heng's eyebrows twitched slightly before he quit the practice. Seeing that the yellow-faced Taoist boy looked like he was used to it, he said, "Then let's leave now."

The yellow-faced Taoist boy nodded, and led the way back. This time there were no more setbacks, and they quickly returned to the alchemy room. Qiao Cheng had disappeared, and only Ge Hong was still sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

When the two entered the alchemy room, he didn't open his eyes and said calmly: "Tong'er, add water to the alchemy furnace and give him the sunflower fan."

The yellow-faced Taoist boy responded, took the water and put it into the Bagua furnace. He also took down a banana fan that was taller than a person on the wall and handed it to Xu Heng's hand.

Ge Hong had no intention of explaining, so he said, "Why don't you go and fan the fire?"

Xu Heng saw that Qiao Cheng had left him here, obviously at his mercy, and had nothing to say, so he carried the banana fan and came to sit in front of the alchemy furnace.

At this time, Ge Hong's voice suddenly came again, reciting a formula and instructing: "While reciting this formula, fan the fire at the same time, and move quickly."

Xu Heng could only do as he was told, silently reciting the mantra and fanning the alchemy furnace!
Sure enough, there was a huge fire in the furnace, and a burst of hot air instantly hit Xu Heng's face, causing Xu Heng's expression to change.

The coldness in his body could not be driven away, and his whole body felt like he had fallen into an ice cave. The yellow-faced Taoist boy said that if he fanned the fire, he would be warmed, but when he did so, he felt scorching on the outside and cold on the inside.

Just at this moment, Ge Hong urged again: "Why are you being lazy? Keep going!" Xu Heng had no choice but to continue fanning the fire. The fire in the Bagua furnace became more and more intense, as if it would burn Xu Heng's hair and beard. The coldness in Xu Heng's body also increased steadily.

Xu Heng was miserable, but he could only grit his teeth and persist. He fanned himself countless times. As the fire in the furnace reached its peak, Xu Heng suddenly felt that the "hard ice" in his body seemed to have melted a little, turning into a clear stream, gurgling all over his body. Up and down, refreshing into the lungs.

Xu Heng felt that every pore and every acupuncture point was relaxing, and he began to let out the old and absorb the new. At this moment, the cold and heat were cut off, and he could only feel comfortable.

What surprised him even more was that, somehow, there seemed to be a sense of satisfaction that could only be felt when taking Xuanyuan Foundation Building Pill and Qianyang Strengthening Pill, flowing out of his heart.

Xu Heng said that he owed Ji Tingsheng's fate and came here for the sake of cause and effect. He deserved to suffer some hardships. How could he have expected that carrying water and fanning fire would have such an opportunity!

Now I was even more willing to fan the fire, and gradually I found that every nine or eighty-one strokes, the ice in my body would melt a little. After a total of seven or seventy-nine times, it finally completely dissipated.

At this point, fanning a fire has become a simple hard work. However, without the coldness in his body, the slight heat is no longer a torture to Xu Heng. He fanned himself diligently. After an unknown period of time, he finally heard the sound. A voice: "Okay."

Xu Heng stopped and turned around. Ge Hong was still sitting there with his eyes closed. He said calmly, "The fire is already strong enough. Let's stop here for now. Bring water back in seven days and continue to fan the fire."

Xu Heng stood up quickly, and the yellow-faced Taoist boy came closer again, guiding him to hang the banana fan on the wall, and then said: "Brother, I will take you to where you want to stay."

"Thank you, junior brother."

Xu Heng followed the boy, left the alchemy room, and went straight out of the main hall. When he saw that the sun was still rising, he raised his eyebrows and felt a feeling of hunger in his stomach. He couldn't help but ask: "Junior brother , how many days has passed?"

"Senior brother, it's been three days and three nights." The yellow-faced boy replied, "When we get to your residence later, I will bring you some food and a change of clothes."

"But it's a miserable life on the mountain, with only bigu pills and Taoist robes. Senior brother can only make do with it."

Xu Heng was not a person who was greedy for enjoyment, so he responded: "That is the best."

The two walked around a few times and arrived at a monastery. The yellow-faced Taoist boy brought him food and clothing, and used magic to sweep and clean him before he said goodbye.

Xu Heng sent the yellow-faced Taoist boy away and went back to the wing to sit down alone. He remembered that the last time he lived in the same place for a long time, it was in Qiming Courtyard.

Although carrying water and fanning fire here is a rare opportunity, Xu Heng still couldn't help but think: "I don't know how long I have to stay here before I can go to Tianchi Mountain and truly settle down."

After thinking about it, the sun was already near the zenith, and seeing that the 'rising sun' hour was about to pass, Xu Heng put away his thoughts, took the elixir and began to meditate and refine his Qi.

For three days and three nights, Xu Heng did not do any homework, let alone rest his body and mind. Not to mention sailing against the current, he should be a little dull.

But I didn't expect that this refining of Qi would be like chasing the wind and lightning, traveling thousands of miles a day...
