第三卷 幽州乱 第五百三十八章 心生妙计

Lady Phoenix naturally wasn't one to break her word. And after this unexpected promotion, she was filled with gratitude towards Lin Xuan. However, when she spoke these words, her expression was extremely odd, and her eyes darted around nervously. Lin Xuan noticed the subtle reactions in his heart.

"Then it's a trouble for you, Lady Phoenix."

"Alright... Alright."

A light flush appeared on Lady Phoenix's beautiful face as if a small deer leaped inside her chest. This time, she really had trapped herself.

For a妖修, one's本命灵光 was second only to their妖丹. Removing the restrictions within it wasn't something that could be done easily; it required a set of rituals.

Though not overly complicated, there were many inconveniences due to the nature of such rituals. They involved two people kissing and transferring Lady Phoenix’s妖丹 into Lin Xuan's mouth before using secret methods to remove the restrictions from her灵光.

The ambiguity of this process made Lady Phoenix extremely uncomfortable.

If only she had known it would turn out like this!

But one couldn't say that either. When they first met, there was still a clear adversarial relationship between them. At that time, Lady Phoenix was injured, and although Lin Xuan's cultivation was far inferior to hers, his various supernatural techniques were extraordinary. In the heat of the moment, Lady Phoenix had no choice but to use her本命灵光.

Firstly, at that time, there was no other option; she hadn't thought much about it. Secondly, in the world of cultivation, the law of the jungle applied, and promises were conditional. Despite her pride, Lady Phoenix wasn’t overly rigid. Using some deceitful tactics against an enemy was not excessive.

Back then, she had said all sorts of flattering things but never truly intended to help Lin Xuan remove the restrictions, thus avoiding this awkward and sensual situation...

But who would have thought that the situation would turn out so differently?

Lady Phoenix bit her pearl-like teeth, a mix of shyness and determination in her eyes. Suddenly, she raised her moon-white arm and waved it, forming a hand seal.

She opened her lips slightly, exhaling a fragrant mist. Lin Xuan was taken aback but didn’t have time to dodge as they were only an arm's length apart.

"Lady Phoenix..."

Lin Xuan regretted deeply, feeling both fear and anger. He thought she intended to harm him. The pinkish mist had already enveloped his body, sweet and delightful, but he couldn't move a single finger.

Lin Xuan’s expression was grim. What kind of technique was this? Although he had refined the Green Illusion Mystic Fire, it wasn’t invincible against common poisons, yet this fragrant mist seemed to have dual effects on both physical and spiritual realms.

He was alarmed; despite his unprepared state, Lady Phoenix's strength after her promotion far surpassed what she had been like before.

A single mistake could cost him everything. Would he really fall here?

Lin Xuan thought with a sense of sorrow but wouldn’t give up until the very end. He quickly dismissed such thoughts and looked at the female妖修 in front of him, his mind racing to find an escape plan.

However, this look only confused Lin Xuan further. Lady Phoenix’s face was flushed red; she showed no signs of aggression, instead looking extremely shy.

This left Lin Xuan utterly bewildered, unable to understand what was happening.

In reality, Lady Phoenix’s actions were a last resort. Rather than explaining everything and having Lin Xuan cooperate, she felt it would be less awkward if she took the initiative.

Thus, she acted unexpectedly, temporarily sealing Lin Xuan's movements.

With her decision made, Lady Phoenix didn’t waste any time. She moved gracefully to stand beside Lin Xuan. They were now very close, within half a foot of each other, their breaths mingling.

Although her true form was that of a phoenix, as an advanced-stage transformed being, she had the body structure and charm of a beautiful human woman.

Her eyes were like autumn water, her figure delicate and alluring. Lin Xuan could sense something strange, making his thoughts even more complex.

He had just thought he might be in for some misfortune but now felt he was about to have great fortune. The sudden change from hell to heaven left him disoriented; the twists and turns of life were truly beyond comprehension.

Lady Phoenix looked at Lin Xuan with a gaze that seemed to contain countless words, but her expression was just a fleeting glance before she closed her eyes. She lifted her foot slightly and wrapped her arm around his neck, leaning in for a kiss.

Boom!

Lin Xuan’s mind went blank as if hit by a powerful spell, his thoughts shattered into pieces. The sensation was unprecedented yet exhilarating.

Fragrant Kiss!

One city!

Breathing like a lily, Lin Xuan couldn’t help but think that his first kiss would be in such a compromising situation. He didn't care whether the woman in his arms was a妖修 or human; he just wanted to hold her tightly and savor the pleasure.

However, there was also a strange restriction from the fragrant mist.

Lin Xuan's golden core churned nonstop as pure spiritual energy gathered like peeling threads. Without using Inner Vision, Lin Xuan could see that his golden core soon became enveloped by this spiritual energy, growing into a green cocoon.

But in no time, the cocoon began to change again.

A small black mist flew from somewhere and emitted a sound before separating into countless thin black strands, wrapping around the golden core.

Soon, another layer was added.

The cocoon grew larger, turning pure black. But at this moment, something strange happened. The green spiritual energy came from the Nine Heavens Profound Technique, a purely Daoist method of cultivation.

Meanwhile, these black threads were genuine spiritual energy.

Lin Xuan knew how to convert different types of spiritual energy, but yin and yang were like water and fire; they couldn’t coexist. In other words, he could use the Nine Heavens Profound Technique or the Dark Magic Essence, but not both simultaneously.

But now, something strange was happening. The two opposing energies enveloped his golden core as if competing for dominance.

Inside the black cocoon, green spiritual light continuously seeped out, interweaving with each other in a fierce struggle.

After some time, the colors began to merge, blending yin and yang into an odd shade of green with hints of black.

The balance between yin and yang was restored, and this new energy was absorbed by Lin Xuan's golden core. His dantian felt warm as磅礴 spiritual energy surged through his body, filling him with a sense of well-being.

The process of refining the body and spirit again had taken place in an instant.

In the way of immortals, cultivation was difficult; apart from talent, one needed good fortune. Especially when facing bottlenecks, such as breaking through to condensation stage, there were no set rules.

Some people struggled for a hundred years without progress but then suddenly broke through due to something trivial.

Such trivial matters could be anything—walking, fighting, eating, or even waking up... Anything was possible.

Lin Xuan's situation now was similar, with an unusually thick layer of good fortune. When he had been in the Qian Yin Mountains, he had advanced to condensation stage mid-term and originally needed at least three to five decades to reach the next level, even with Dan Pills as a boost.

But now, Lady Phoenix had removed his restrictions, and in his state of mindless confusion, Lin Xuan just wanted to break free from the fragrant mist's hold and embrace the woman before him.

His thoughts were simple but effective. By focusing on one thing, he suddenly understood the emptiness of his heart, reaching a state where form was essence, a supreme realm.

This allowed him to make rapid progress without causing any strange mutations in his body’s yin and yang energies, advancing directly to condensation stage post.

Misfortune can turn into good fortune. Lin Xuan never expected such an outcome.

The shocking changes within his body left Lin Xuan momentarily unable to comprehend them. But as he struggled against the fragrant mist, he felt a tingling sensation in his fingers gradually fade away.

"Am I able to move again..."
