Chapter 2306 - 2303: Ice Soul Damaged

Chapter 2306: Chapter 2303: Ice Soul Damaged

Xiao Manxuan’s gaze swept around, the old men felt their hair stand on end, sensing an immense pressure and oppressive force. This oppressive force came from a little girl, leaving them both startled and perplexed.

Finally, her gaze fell on Lin Tian’s face, her cold and arrogant eyes wavered slightly. She stepped with steady steps and walked up to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian did not dodge, staring directly into her eyes, even prepared for battle. He didn’t know if he, who had become a second-level Green-eyed Zombie, could subdue the little girl in front of him.

But Xiao Manxuan revealed a playful smile and then pointed at Lin Tian: "You... will be my man from now on."

"Cough, cough..." Lin Tian nearly choked on his own saliva because of the little girl. Is this still the mischievous and gentle Second Miss? Even bolder than Senior Sister Zi Yan.

"You’re not willing?" Xiao Manxuan raised an eyebrow, the wings on her back fluttered slightly, and the flames intensified.

Lin Tian naturally would not compromise, countering: "You can be my woman."

The old men looked at each other, wondering what was happening, but they dared not act recklessly, unsure of how effective the Blood Spirit Pill was.

Xiao Manxuan frowned, about to say something more, when the flames behind her suddenly flickered, her fiery wings became somewhat unstable.

"What did you feed me to suppress me?" Xiao Manxuan’s expression turned cold, clenching her fist, the red flames grew more intense.

With a light pop, countless fine particles exploded in front of Xiao Manxuan, glistening like tiny ice crystals. Lin Tian was shocked to see that the Ice Soul had actually exploded!

The powerful ice crystals had always balanced the alien energy inside her. At this moment, under Xiao Manxuan’s outburst, it finally exceeded the limit of the Ice Soul.

However, strangely, with the Ice Soul’s suppression gone, Xiao Manxuan’s alien energy did not escalate further into a frenzy; instead, it became unstable, like a candle flame in the wind, unsteady and wavering.

"The Blood Spirit Pill is working..." Elder Le Hua called out softly, looking quite serious.

The flames on Xiao Manxuan’s body flickered up and down, bright and dim at times. Her face also had an expression of struggle, as if resisting something. With each change, a red flame erupted, forcing the elders to step back.

Only Lin Tian did not move, igniting purple flames to withstand the little girl’s red flames.

"Master, you’re putting yourself on a spit!" the Sword Spirit loudly warned.

"Right now, only I’m by her side, only I can help her, I won’t leave her to face it alone," Lin Tian said firmly and unwaveringly.

Perhaps hearing Lin Tian’s words, Xiao Manxuan looked up at him, her cold gaze softened a bit, and an involuntary smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Boom...

With another light sound, the fiery wings behind Xiao Manxuan exploded, the flames on her body quickly extinguished. Suddenly, she smiled and then collapsed.

Lin Tian hurriedly retracted the purple flames and caught Xiao Manxuan. The little girl’s body was scaldingly hot, like stepping out of a steam oven, her skin flushed in rose red.

But her pulse was strong and steady, and the scattered energy within her gradually calmed down. This was in the absence of the Ice Soul; the alien energy had subsided on its own—the Blood Spirit Pill seemed effective.

"Xiao Tian, let me take a look." Le Hua rushed over to check Xiao Manxuan’s pulse.

After a long time, Le Hua exhaled lightly: "The alien energy is still there, but strangely it’s not wreaking havoc. It seems this time taking the risk paid off."

Actually, without Le Hua saying, Lin Tian could see the situation inside Xiao Manxuan through supernatural observation. Previously, even super-vision couldn’t detect the alien energy, but now he clearly saw a stream of red energy flowing through Xiao Manxuan’s meridians.

This red energy’s gathering point was not in the Upper Elixir Field, nor in the Lower Elixir Field, but rather in the heart. Each heartbeat propelled energy circulation, extremely miraculous.

It was Lin Tian’s first encounter with such a situation. Whether an ordinary Ancient Martial Artist or a master of the Ancient Hidden Stream, the gathering point of energy was always in the Dantian, but Xiao Manxuan’s was in the heart.

"Great Elder, apart from the three major Elixir Fields—Upper, Middle, and Lower—are there other places where a cultivator’s energy can gather?" Lin Tian wasn’t sure if the little girl’s situation was good or bad, so he sought advice from Elder Le Hua.

Le Hua thought for a moment and said, "It’s not impossible. For example, in Ancient Body Technique Practitioners, the energy isn’t located in the Dantian but throughout the muscles, bones, organs, and even in every cell."

"There are also some unique cultivation techniques that don’t focus on the three major Elixir Fields but on other acupoints. The world is vast and full of wonders. Even Demon Exorcists are cultivators, but they use energy differently from us," Le Hua asserted confidently.

"What if it’s in the heart?" Lin Tian asked deliberately.

"The heart? Are you referring to Xuanxuan?" Le Hua was startled, checking the pulse again.

This pulse-check took some time, and the other elders watched quietly, not disturbing Le Hua.

"Strange indeed, how could it be in the heart?" Le Hua muttered to himself, then added, "There is a situation like that, a natural gift, innately so."

"Xuanxuan has never cultivated before, she was just an ordinary person, and now she has a place similar to the Dantian," Lin Tian was unsure whether to be happy or concerned.

"Regardless, at least she’s okay. Go back, observe and rest more. She’s been battling two different energies, so her mental expenditure must be significant," Le Hua advised.

Lin Tian nodded, then said to Yan Lingling, "Ling’er, please escort the Miss back."

"Okay." Yan Lingling agreed obediently.

Lin Tian picked up Xiao Manxuan. Before leaving, he glanced at the Elixir room, or rather the ruins of it, feeling a bit apologetic.

Yan Shan seemed to notice his thoughts and smiled, "It’s fine as long as she’s alright. The Elixir room can be rebuilt. Don’t forget, the Medicine King Mansion also belongs to you, so there’s no need for guilt."

Lin Tian smiled bitterly inside. The title of Medicine King Mansion’s owner came to him quite unexpectedly.

However, he indeed had no time to dwell on it, carrying Xiao Manxuan and heading back to the dormitory with Yan Lingling.

At this time, there was no one else in the girls’ guest room, so Lin Tian didn’t have to worry about being inappropriate and settled the sisters in the same room.

Lin Tian exhaled gently and said, "Ling’er, thank you for your hard work. You should go back. I’ll stay and take care of them."

Originally, it wouldn’t be appropriate for Lin Tian to stay when surrounded by only females, but Yan Lingling didn’t think too much or say anything extra. Being obedient and sensible, she knew Lin Tian still had many things to attend to, not a time for a conversation.

Lin Tian indeed had work to do. After Yan Lingling left, he activated his super-vision to diagnose the Miss. Earlier, she suffered an internal injury from her sister’s strike.

At her current level and power, she was nowhere near a match for Xiao Manxuan in her rampaging state.

After some effort, utilizing the Golden Needle and Nine Needle Technique to heal the Miss, fortunately, the Miss had an Ice Silkworm Silk Dress and Black Gold Silk Inner Armor for protection, preventing any fatal injuries.
