Chapter Fifty-Three Invitation

  An old man's fishing rod shook, and a golden light burst out, wrapping around the waist of the girl who had fallen into the sea. The old man shouted loudly, and the golden light pulled the girl back to his side. He casually tossed her to Lin Xiao, who was standing beside him, and then pulled Lin Xiao along, shouting: "Let's go! These long worms are not easy to deal with! Hurry up! We've already gotten the best, why bother with these guys?" A purple glow burst out from under their feet, and the old man dragged a loudly protesting Lin Xiao away in an instant.

  Jin Zun burst into loud laughter, slapping his chest: "Little doll, with Wen Xiang Nuan Yu in your arms, isn't it delightful?"

  Bang, Jin Zun was kicked flying by Hua Shen from behind, and he coughed awkwardly several times, rubbing his hands forcefully, and quietly followed Hua Shen to set up a teleportation array and fly away. Xuan Yuan, Xuan Kong, Xuan Luo and other old Taoists once again cast out a series of thunder spells, and the thunder and lightning filled the sky, forcing those Blood Dragons that were charging forward with their Dragon Dan to suddenly stop and hastily turn around to escape in disarray.

  These ancient Blood Dragons, if they were to self-destruct with their Dragon Dan, each one's explosive power would be equivalent to a full-force strike from a Void Realm expert. Only a madman would dare to fight head-on against these frenzied Blood Dragons!

  A group of people hastily escaped, those blood dragons sprayed out dragon dan essence to help the girl condense her primordial spirit and transform, but it greatly damaged their vitality. Now they flew at a speed that was more than twice slower than usual, and could only watch as Lin Xiang and his group set up a teleportation light and escaped far away, making it impossible for them to catch up. These blood dragons let out earth-shaking roars, and with extreme ferocity, they plunged into the Black Reef Abyss, wreaking havoc. In just a short moment, all living creatures within a thousand-mile radius of the sea were slaughtered by them, and large amounts of blood gushed onto the surface of the water, dyeing it a deep crimson.

  Lin Xiao's entire body was trembling as he hugged the naked girl. He was pulled by Gu Yong and ran wildly all the way. Gu Yong's speed of escape was more than a hundred times faster than Lin Xiao's Cloud Soaring Technique, and the strong wind that came face to face made it impossible for Lin Xiao to speak. The girl in his arms had drunk the Drunken Dragon Pill and was acting like a person who was extremely drunk, muttering nonsense and struggling from time to time. The girl's strength was enormous, her height was almost the same as Lin Xiao's, and her figure was even more beautiful than Lin Xiao's. Lin Xiao had to use all his strength to hold her in his arms. As a result, the girl's smooth and delicate skin rubbed against Lin Xiao's body, and the strange fragrance that was born with her constantly flowed into Lin Xiao's nose, making him even more embarrassed. What made Lin Xiao even more embarrassed was that her naked body was almost completely exposed to Lin Xiao! Lin Xiao's face was almost bleeding, his body was stiff and unable to move, he could only instinctively hold the struggling girl tightly in his arms.

  Among all the people, only three female cultivators were present. They followed closely behind Yi Hang, their eyes fixed on him without blinking, completely unaware of Lin Xiao's embarrassment; Xuan Tong looked up at the sky with a hint of a smile on his lips, seemingly oblivious to Lin Xiao's awkward situation. Hua Shen, on the other hand, was circling around Lin Xiao with an evil grin, savoring the sight of Lin Xiao's flushed face and embarrassed expression. Suddenly, Hua Shen burst out laughing and pulled Jin Zun aside, saying: "Look at Lin Xiao! If not for Gu Gong holding him back, I'm afraid he wouldn't even know how to walk! Hehe! With such a beautiful woman in his arms, why is he still looking so gloomy?"

  Jin Zun burst out laughing, his laughter shaking Lin Xiao's eardrums. The group of old Daoists from the Yuan Sect looked at Lin Xiao with strange expressions, not a single one making a sound.

  Lin Xiao glared at the unscrupulous seniors, suddenly shouting loudly: "This is a Blood Dragon with over 100,000 years of cultivation!" The girl in his arms struggled, and a great force was applied, almost throwing her out of Lin Xiao's arms. Lin Xiao hastily used force to hold her firmly in place. The girl seemed uncomfortable, twisting her body violently, her head leaning against Lin Xiao's shoulder. Her two powerful arms wrapped around Lin Xiao's neck, holding him tightly. Her high chest pressed tightly against Lin Xiao's chest, a wave of soft and flexible power surged forth, making Lin Xiao's face redden again, reddening to the point of almost turning black.

  Jin Zun chuckled in a low voice: "Even if it's the Blood Dragon, now it's just a beautiful woman! Little baby doesn't know what's good for her, I want to hold her but haven't had the chance yet."

  "Hmm?" The Flower God let out a cold laugh, and the strange light in his eyes flashed as he glared fiercely at Jin Zun.

  Jin Zun immediately raised his hands and shouted in a stern tone: "I'll only hold one woman in my arms for the rest of my life! No matter how beautiful other women are, even if they're goddesses, I won't give them a second glance!"

  "Hmm!" The Flower God nodded in satisfaction, continuing to tread on the white clouds and rapidly spinning around Lin Xiao. ***** As she spun around Lin Xiao with a dizzying speed, the Flower God let out an eerie laugh: "Lin Xiao, my friend, isn't it pleasant to have the Warm Jade Fragrance in your arms? Hehe, don't blame us for intentionally making things difficult for you - this Blood Dragon has indeed transformed into a powerful being! When she wakes up and finds out that her Heart's Essence was stolen to refine medicine, I'm afraid she'll go on a rampage. At that time, someone will have to take the fall..."

  "What?" Lin Xiao shouted, instinctively throwing the girl in his arms outward, but the girl's two long arms exerted force, and Lin Xiao's neck vertebrae let out a series of frightening creaking sounds. Lin Xiao cried out in alarm as his upper body was pulled forward, bending at the waist, his face buried in the girl's chest. The girl mumbled a few sentences of drunken nonsense, lightly patted Lin Xiao's head with her hand, and continued to sleep soundly.

  The old man burst into a strange laugh: "Alright, Xiaohua, don't scare Lin Xiao's friend anymore. However, what to do with this girl afterwards is indeed a big trouble! What do you think?"

  Huashen, Jinxun and others all fell silent, each bowing their heads in deep thought, trying to come up with a way to deal with the girl. Should they take advantage of her unconscious state and kill her? They couldn't bring themselves to do such a thing; after all, they were righteous cultivators, not evil demonic cultivators. So, when the girl woke up and found out that she had been stabbed in the heart to extract her vital energy to make medicine to save someone, how would she react? Especially after the fierce battle just now. Her own people had joined forces to destroy her dragon body, although it was to help her shed her shell and take human form, but still, they had beaten her into such a miserable state. If she still harbored resentment towards them from earlier... Once she lost control of her emotions, no one in the cultivation world would be able to stop her!

  Headache!

  The flower god looked up and down at Lin Xiao with a strange expression. Suddenly, he transmitted his voice to Gu Weng: "I heard that the dragon clan attaches great importance to women's chastity? If a dragon clan woman has skin contact with a man, does she have to marry him?"

  Gu Weng's face remained calm as he drove the carriage forward at a rapid pace, not letting Lin Xiao notice the subtle change in his expression. Gu Weng transmitted a message to Hua Shen: "Is there such a legend? What about you?"

  The Flower Goddess let out a few strange, muffled laughs, and then suddenly sighed softly: "The beauty of adulthood... This is also a good thing, and a virtuous deed, I suppose?" The Flower Goddess's sigh was very loud, and everyone looked at her in confusion. The Flower Goddess simply smiled enigmatically, with an evil and eerie grin that sent chills down Lin Xiao's spine. As he watched the Flower Goddess's smile, he felt a cold energy surge from his Yongquan acupoint to his Tianlinggai, as if his entire body had turned cold. The girl in his arms began to struggle again, and Lin Xiao could only awkwardly hold her tighter once more.

  This girl is not just a girl, she's also the lifeblood of Qingyi and Qingchu! Yuanzong has great kindness to Lin Xiao. Can't help but make Lin Xiao extremely cautious. However, holding such a fiery person in his arms, Lin Xiao feels his own body burning intensely, feeling extremely uncomfortable all over. His body seems to have countless ants crawling wildly, feeling unbearable.

  Looking down at the girl in his arms, Lin Xiao finally had the chance to clearly see her face. A head of blood-red long hair scattered, with shiny and smooth hair strands, and a hint of lightning flashing between them. Her delicate features were suffocating, with two blood-colored long eyebrows slanting into her temples, adding an air of elegance to her. Her tightly closed eyes occasionally trembled slightly, and although they were closed, a fierce killing aura still seeped out, making Lin Xiao's heart feel cold from time to time. Her high nose bridge looked like a steel knife to Lin Xiao, still filled with a pressing killing intent. Her small mouth was tightly pursed into a line, still sharp as a knife edge.

  This is a beautiful, healthy, but ruthless and tyrannical woman! As soon as he thought that the little girl in his arms was actually a huge blood dragon - the rarest species of the dragon clan - Lin Xiao's body trembled violently, with goosebumps all over. With his palm on the girl's thigh, Lin Xiao suddenly felt his scalp exploding, and he looked at Hua Shen with suspicion, who was flying around him while laughing in a silvery voice. He muttered to himself with some concern: "In the mortal world, when women and strangers have physical contact, they either get married or are forced to commit suicide by their clan to preserve their chastity. What about this dragon woman?"

  As soon as he thought of the year when he heard from the medical seeker at Hui Chun Tang, where there was another big girl who was beaten to death by the clan temple for talking to a stranger, Lin Xiao felt that the girl in his arms was like a piece of hot charcoal, burning him so much that his internal organs seemed to be fried in boiling oil.

  Ahead, a faint seven-colored glow emanated, and the interstellar teleportation array of Dajiao Star had arrived. Gu Weng and his group rushed into the teleportation array, dozens of spirit stones flew out, accurately inlaid into the array eyes, a flash of light traversed the void, and Lin Xiao's group had already disappeared without a trace.

  Yuán Zōng was squatting on the ground outside the moving array, blankly pulling at a few blades of grass, staring intently at the dozens of people coming and going from the moving array. He muttered to himself in a low voice: "Why hasn't Lin Big Brother come back? Why hasn't Lin Big Brother come back? It's all because Qingchu is useless, Qingchu's cultivation is too low, wu wu can't follow Lin Big Brother out!"

  The square where the teleportation array was located was densely packed with Yu Zong's disciples. Just a few days ago, a large group of demonic cultivators suddenly attacked Yu Zong, but were met head-on by Gu Weng and others, and the demonic cultivators were defeated and fled in disarray, already suffering heavy losses. However, now that Gu Weng and others had gone to Da Jiao Xing to meet with Xuan Luo and others, Yu Zong's disciples did not dare to slack off, who knew whether those demonic cultivators would return? Especially since there was also a Blood God Old Ancestor among them, whose cultivation was extremely deep and had already reached the Void Realm.

  Yao Jing, restored to her human form, sat cross-legged beside Qing Chui, contentedly stroking a white mushroom the size of a human head. She chuckled and said, "Why follow him out? Isn't it better to stay here and eat? Hmm, Qing Chui, if you had followed him out, you would have been chopped into thousands of pieces and wouldn't be able to come back to life! Hehe, I'm full. Do you want to eat some more?" After burping several times, Yao Jing looked at the white mushroom in her hand with a bit of distress, looking worried for a while before slowly bringing it to her mouth. She opened her small mouth and took a bite.

  "Alas, these Yuan Zong Dao people are really harming me!" While chewing on the white Yang Gu with big mouthfuls, Yao Jing accused: "I'm almost eating to death. They keep sending me all sorts of spiritual medicine, it's really a headache!" Yao Jing painfully and happily gnawed on the white Yang Gu, a series of satisfied burps continuously erupted from her mouth, a strong spiritual medicine fragrance wafted far away.

  Those cultivators who came to Qiyuan Star through the teleportation array looked at Qingchu and Yaoyue in surprise, and some of them who knew a bit about alchemy couldn't help but envy the basket of medicinal materials placed beside Yaoyue. === However, no one would dare to offend the disciples of Yuanzong on their own turf. Although Qingchu and Yaoyue were wearing the lowest-level servant disciple attire, Qingchu had a high-quality flying sword on his back, and Yaoyue had a basket of at least 100-year-old fire-tempered spiritual medicine beside her, proving that these two little girls, even as servant disciples, were favored ones. Who would dare to provoke them?

  A seven-colored light suddenly burst out from within the Array, and Lin Xiao's figure emerged from the light with a slightly pale face. Qing Yun, who was squatting on the ground, let out a cheer and quickly jumped up, rushing towards Lin Xiao in quick steps. She pounced on Lin Xiao, shouting loudly: "Lin brother, you're back! Did they capture Blood Dragon? Are you injured?" Qing Yun stared blankly at the naked girl in Lin Xiao's arms, blinking rapidly with confusion, unable to understand why Lin Xiao had brought such a beautiful woman back with him.

  Seeing Qingkuo, Lin Xiao let out a loud cry of relief: "Qingkuo, quickly take her over! Ah, heavens, how could I forget to put a Taoist robe on her?" He hastily handed the girl in his arms over to Qingkuo, and then rummaged through his storage ring to pull out a Taoist robe, which he carelessly threw over the girl's body. Qingkuo had also practiced internal energy for several years, and had some strength in his hands, but the girl's body was unusually heavy. Lin Xiao handed her over to Qingkuo, who only managed to hold onto her for a moment before falling to the ground with a thud, unable to get back up.

  She walked over with a piece of lingzhi in her mouth, constantly belching. She stroked her belly and greeted Lin Xiao enthusiastically: "Lin brother, you're back? Hmm, who is this person? What did she drink? Her mouth smells so good!" Yaojing instinctively wrinkled her nose, looked greedily at the sleeping girl, and snatched her from Qingchu's arms. Then, Yaojing's expression changed, and she exclaimed in shock: "She's not human? She's not human?"

  With the intuition of a demon, Yāo Jǐng had known as soon as she touched the girl that she was not human but a being like herself in human form. However, this girl's true body was obviously much stronger than Yāo Jǐng's, and the unconscious girl gave off an aura from deep within her soul that made Yāo Jǐng almost instinctively want to submit to her power. Holding the girl, Yāo Jǐng couldn't help but want to kneel down in front of her, kowtowing to her, and pledge her loyalty.

  A high-ranking demon, Yao Jing's pale blue face turned white, and she casually threw the girl out. Then, she grabbed the green hoe and ran wildly while screaming: "Monster, monster, so scary! Save me!"

  Qing shovel was Barb's turn back and loudly called out: "Lin brother, I brewed a pot of Su Ye Mei for you, warm it up with a thermos, drink it while it's hot! Xiao Qing, where are you taking me?

  Yao Jing was so scared that her face turned white and she shouted loudly: "Monster, save me! Oh, what a terrible monster!" She shouted and shouted, Yao Jing pulled Qing Yun and quickly ran away without knowing where to go.

  Lin Xiao made another lunge and wrapped the girl in his arms again. He stared at Yao Jing, who was fleeing wildly, and exclaimed in shock: "Monster? Yao Jing, aren't you a monster yourself?" Lin Xiao was so angry that his nose was about to crook, and he had just managed to get rid of this burning coal in his arms, only to have it return to his own embrace after a turn.

  Jin Zun looked up at the sky and let out a loud sneeze, then walked over to Lin Xiao's side with a big smile on his face. He patted Lin Xiao's shoulder and laughed loudly: "Little brother, this is fate! This woman, it seems like she was destined to be in your arms! Haha! That little green monster didn't throw her at me, but instead threw her at you, haha! This is indeed fate! Tsk tsk, what a beautiful woman!"

  Bang, the Flower God kicked Jin Zun's butt with a loud thud, sending him tumbling to the ground. With his late-stage Void Realm cultivation, Jin Zun meekly lay on the ground, not even daring to lift his head as he watched the Flower God walk by with an air of elegance. Only then did he scramble to his feet and carefully follow behind the Flower God, attending to him with caution.

  Xuan Yuan and Xuan Tong exchanged a glance, their eyebrows and eyes filled with tender affection.

  He gazed at Jin Zun, his facial muscles twitching violently several times.

  With her eyes fixed on Jin Zun and Hua Shen, a thin layer of mist suddenly appeared in her pupils, and her beautiful face was filled with a gloomy color.

  Xuan Yuan, Xuan Heng's uniform and neat turned around to look at Yi Hang and Yi Xin. Yi Hang's head slowly lowered, while Yi Xin closed his eyes, two crystal tears slowly dripping down, but immediately shattered by a violent surge of true yuan.

  Lin Xiao quietly watched this farce on the side, a sharp pain in her heart, almost spitting out another mouthful of blood.

  He recalled that in the back mountain of Huichun Valley, he and Yaoyao had a passionate kiss between them.

  The old man scolded in a low voice, "What is this thing called love? He***, I've been hitting the streets for a lifetime, and isn't it all right?" With a loud shout, he stamped his foot and said, "Alright, alright! The Blood Dragon is in hand, and all kinds of medicinal materials are ready. Hurry up and start refining the Soul-Returning Pill! In a few more days, Qingyi and Qingchu, those two little Taoist priests, will probably be gone! At that time, your Yuanzong won't have an ancestor to preside over, just watch you little Taoist priests cry yourselves to death!"

  The rest was easy. Lin Xiao used the Golden Needle Heart Technique of the Great Luo Dan Tao secret transmission to extract 13 drops of essence blood from the girl's heart, which he combined with various spiritual medicines to form a dan embryo. Then, by Gu Weng, Jin Zun, Hua Shen, Xuan Yuan, Xuan Tong, and Xuan Luo, six virtual realm masters joined hands, following Lin Xiao's transmission of the alchemy spirit, spent nine days and nine nights of hard work, during which they experienced dozens of dangerous failures that made the dan furnace explode. Only then did they refine the Soul-Returning Dan for Qing Yi and Qing Chu to take.

  Xu Hún Dān perfectly repaired the damaged yuan Shen of Qingyi and Qingchu, replenishing their lost Benming Jingxue. The cultivation realm of Qingyi and Qingchu was restored, and Lin Xiao refined a large batch of Ling Dan to supplement their true yuan cultivation, which the two old Daoists ate like sugar beans. After a month of hard work, Qingyi and Qingchu finally recovered their original cultivation.

  As a token of gratitude for Lin Xiang's contribution of the Revival Dan and the refining technique that saved Qing Yi and Qing Chu, Yuan Zong gave Lin Xiang an extremely generous reward. In addition to various spirit stones, Lin Xiang also received a set of protective robes, a fire-attribute flying sword, and several exquisite defensive treasures, all of which were at least mid-grade precious items, showing that Yuan Zong had indeed invested heavily in them and truly remembered the favor Lin Xiang had done for him this time.

  Dān Fāng was nothing, but the refining technique was a secret that Dà Luó Dān Dào did not pass on. Lín Xiāo's sacrifice this time thoroughly earned Yuán Zōng's respect and gratitude.

  The people who had narrowly escaped death, Qingyi and Qingchu, along with Guweng, Jinzun, Huashen, Xuanyuan, Xuanluo, and Xuankou, gathered together to discuss in secret for a short while. Afterwards, Yi personally went to Lin Xiao's residence and invited him over.
