Versatile Mage: Invincible from the Fire of Disaster

Chapter 232 Totem Bifang
The National Team's training continued, but everyone arrived safely in Japan.

Of course, this has little to do with Lin Ming.

After collecting the Yin-Yang fish totem, Lin Ming and his two companions returned to Shanghai.

Lin Ming needed to consolidate his cultivation and attempt to break through to the third level of the advanced stage, while Ding Yumin needed to communicate with the Yin-Yang Fish.

As for Lingling, the original plan was to let her go back to school for a month or two to rest, but the little one insisted on organizing the information for the next totem and refused to go back to school no matter what.

"Sigh~ How much longer is this guy going to last?!"

In the living room of the Qingtian Demon Hunting Office, Lingling had a bitter face, her hands supporting her cheeks as she stared blankly at the laptop in front of her.

Organizing materials?

It was already sorted out a long time ago, otherwise almost a year would have been wasted.

The talk of organizing things now is just a delaying tactic to avoid going to school.

But judging from Grandpa's expression, it seems he'll be sending me back to school in a few days.

"Ah~"

Life is tough, Lingling sighs.

"Kid, stop sighing all the time, it'll make you age faster." A teasing voice came from outside the demon-hunting area.

Lingling suddenly turned around, her eyes lighting up instantly!
Lin Ming slowly walked out of the Qingtian Demon Hunting Station, looked at Lingling, and smiled.

"They're finally here! Let's go! Let's go!"

Lingling jumped off the chair and waved to Lin Ming impatiently.

"Don't rush, don't rush, we need to prepare something!" Lin Ming spread his hands slightly and said, "What's the next target?"

Lingling immediately turned around, ran to the computer, and pulled up the information about totem beasts.

She was well aware that she needed to be fully prepared before setting off, and since she had already waited for more than a month, waiting a little longer wouldn't hurt!
Lin Ming slowly walked forward, observing the information on the laptop.

The first image is of a broken totem.

It looks somewhat like a crane, but the incomplete totem makes it not very clear.

"This totem appears near Mount Tai, and its totem partially overlaps with the three-legged golden crow totem you gave me."

"If there are no surprises, it should be a lower-level totem of the three-legged golden crow."

Lingling stared at the computer screen, her little face extremely serious and focused.

“There is a bird that looks like a crane, with one leg, red markings, blue body and white beak. Its cry is its own. If it is seen, there will be a fire in the town. This is the information I found in ancient records.”

"The gist of it is that there is a bird in the mountains that looks like a crane, has only one leg, has red markings on its blue feathers, and a white beak. When it cries out, it sounds like it is calling its own name. Wherever it appears, there will be large wildfires."

And his name is…

"Bifang!"

Mount Tai is a highly revered mountain range in Chinese history.

Before a certain accident occurred, it had always been a place where emperors from all over the world climbed the mountain to perform sacrifices and establish their achievements!
This was true even in ancient times!
"The Bifang divine bird is said to have the ability to discern the mind and hear the voice of the soul!"

"If I encounter someone with an impure heart, I will burn them to ashes with the fire of my soul!"

"But if they encounter someone with a pure heart, Bifang will reward them!" A mountain villager dressed simply, carrying a large basket on his back, explained to the two tourists with a simple smile on his face.

"However, there are also legends of Bifang descending and bringing drought!"

The two tourists were naturally Lingling and Lin Ming.

Lingling ruthlessly added rumors that were harmful to Bi Fang's reputation.

Ding Yumin was cultivating with the Yin-Yang Fish this time, so she wasn't brought along.

However, the Yin-Yang power of the Yin-Yang fish seems to have a significant effect on Ding Yumin's mental abilities.

Ding Yumin gained even greater control over her abilities in an instant.

"Hmph! It's just some fools framing Lord Bifang!"

The old man from the mountain frowned, snorted coldly, and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Haha, children say the darndest things, children say the darndest things, don't be angry, old man." Lin Ming laughed and smoothed things over, then looked at the old man and asked, "Old man, do the people here all believe in Bifang?"

"Faith? Perhaps. It's really just something passed down from our ancestors. People usually just listen to it as a legend," the old man said, shaking his head.

“However, this legend has always been told to children as a story. Every generation of mountain people has heard it since they were young. The rumor you mentioned will cause misunderstandings among the children!” the old man said solemnly.

Lingling felt a little embarrassed and apologized to the old man from the mountains.

"It's alright, it's alright." The old man chuckled softly, shook his head, and sighed, "Anyway, young people these days are all rushing to big cities. I guess in a few years no one will remember this legend!"

After saying goodbye to the old man, Lin Ming and Lingling went to a small town at the foot of the mountain to rest.

"It seems the Totem Guardian Clan has disappeared!" Lingling said with some regret.

If we could find the totem guardians to guide us, just like finding the yin-yang symbol, it would probably be much easier.

"Time has washed everything away; even the legacy of the totem guardians has been lost," Lin Ming nodded.

If we really want to find totem guardians, perhaps all the mountain people at the foot of Mount Tai are totem inheritors!
Because the totem guardians have completely integrated into the mountain people!

"More importantly, no one has ever seen Bi Fang before," Lingling said somewhat somberly.

Their collection of totems is not only to help Lin Ming improve, but also in the hope that the totems can be resurrected to protect the land of China.

However, not all totems survive like the Yin-Yang fish and the Golden Crow. More often, they give up fighting against the world and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation!

"After all, even the guardians have disappeared, so Bifang has probably become a legend too," Lin Ming said with some regret.

But after shaking his head, he focused his gaze on the magnificent mountain and gently clenched his fist!

"But I will not give up the power of the Bifang totem!"

With the help of the Yin-Yang principle of the Yin-Yang fish, the two realms merge!

Lin Ming's fire element had vaguely touched the barrier of the high-level third stage!
After a month of training, he broke through to the third level of the advanced stage quite easily!
Bifang is now a totem strongly associated with the Three-Legged Golden Crow. If Lin Ming can absorb Bifang's totem power, he has a good chance of breaking through to the Super Rank directly!

As for the bottleneck, it disappears when the flames of life and destruction merge!
After resting for a day, Lin Ming followed Lingling up Mount Tai!
But no one noticed that a figure was emerging from the shadows.

Chaos and darkness intertwined, obscuring all information!
