As the Infant Fire burned on the black ice, the Black Tortoise also tossed the ice into the air. A faint blue spiritual light struck the ice, and the black ice transformed back into a cloud of black ice mist.
The Infant Fire directly burned onto the blue feather. The blue feather seemed to sense something was wrong and once again erupted with a spiritual pressure no weaker than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, accompanied by bursts of bird calls.
The entire feather transformed into a stream of light, like an arrow, rapidly darting through the air, clearly trying to escape.
How could Zhang Ling allow this strange thing to escape? With a thought, the Black Tortoise beside him immediately controlled the black ice mist formed from the Ice Soul Poison, turning it into a black circular mist that trapped the entire feather within it.
As the Infant Fire refined it, the spiritual light on the feather gradually weakened. After a few breaths, the spiritual light on it dissipated by more than half, and the bird calls also weakened considerably.
Seeing this, Zhang Ling sneered. Although this feather was a bit strange, and the spiritual light it emitted was no weaker than the spiritual pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it was likely a Natal Feather of a powerful demonic bird. The giant bird phantom he sensed earlier was probably a remnant soul attached to it.
But no matter how strange it was, without strong spiritual power to support it, this thing was at most just a remnant thought and naturally could not compare to him, a true Nascent Soul cultivator.
The Infant Fire continuously refined the spiritual light on the blue feather. After another quarter of an hour, all the spiritual light on it was worn away. Seeing the Infant Fire burning onto the feather, Zhang Ling also breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, another painful scream entered his ears.
Turning his head, he saw that Ding Ruozhao had awakened and jumped out of the bucket, lunging towards him as if she had lost her mind.
Zhang Ling quickly shot out a Heavy Yuan Profound Light, blocking Ding Ruozhao. But the woman's eyes were blood-red, clearly not awake, and she crashed straight into the spiritual light, instantly being knocked away.
Subsequently, the feather spiritual纹(灵纹: patterns) that had not disappeared on her back suddenly brushed, growing into a pair of strange spiritual light wings, and her mouth also emitted chirping sound similar to bird calls.
This image was very similar to the demon transformation secret technique used by demon refiners, but Zhang Ling's divine sense scan revealed that the woman's spiritual power was chaotic.
Ding Ruozhao's eyes were fixed on the blue feather, her hands flailing, as if trying to grab the feather.
Zhang Ling's expression was ugly, and he immediately realized that this was the blue feather's doing. He shot out another spiritual light, which directly turned into a spiritual power line, binding Ding Ruozhao in mid-air.
However, as the blue feather was continuously refined in the Infant Fire, the woman's condition worsened, and her divine soul was also weakening.
After a while, Zhang Ling gloomily withdrew the Infant Fire. This situation clearly indicated that Ding Ruozhao's divine soul and the feather still had some kind of relationship, or rather, the spiritual纹(灵纹: patterns) on it still had a symbiotic relationship.
Once the feather was refined, the woman's divine soul would probably perish immediately. He could only helplessly stop refining it for now.
Zhang Ling looked at the blue feather, feeling helpless.
In the next few hours, he used several methods, and some secret techniques, but none of them solved the blue feather problem. On the contrary, after the Infant Fire refinement just now, Ding Ruozhao's divine soul was even weaker.
In the end, he could only seal the blue feather with secret method for now. Fortunately, the illusion space in the Soul Refinement Chart was very suitable for sealing this thing.
He didn't know what the feather spiritual纹(灵纹: patterns) were, not only could they connect with the cultivator's divine soul to form a symbiotic relationship, but they could also fuse with the spiritual bone and turn into strange feathers.
But there was also a piece of news that wasn't entirely good. Most of the feather spiritual纹(灵纹: patterns) could indeed be said to have separated from Ding Ruozhao's body. Although Ding Ruozhao's divine soul was still in a coma, it was no longer being devoured by these spiritual纹(灵纹: patterns).
With the assistance of Soul Nourishing Wood and Spirit Enhancing Powder, the woman's divine soul could also slowly recover. As for whether she could wake up, he wasn't sure.
After staying in the stone house for a whole day, Zhang Ling reopened the stone house and told Ye Zimei about the situation.
Ye Zimei was naturally disappointed to see that Ding Ruozhao had not awakened, but after hearing that most of the feather spiritual纹(灵纹: patterns) in her sister's divine soul had been removed, she felt a little relieved. This would at least prevent her sister's divine soul from weakening further.
A few days later, Zhang Ling left Wuling Island with the comatose Ding Ruozhao and Ye Zimei.
For the next period of time, he did not return to his Fire Cloud Island, but took the two women to various immortal cities in the human race area, hoping to find a way to wake Ding Ruozhao.
......
In the blink of an eye, four years had passed.
On this day, above a desolate island near the southernmost part of the Demon Wind Mountains, a escaping light landed on the island, revealing two figures, a man and a woman. Zhang Ling glanced around expressionlessly and suddenly asked.
"Fairy Ye, have you really thought about it, going to the Heavenly Palace with me? It is full of dangers, and there are wandering space cracks. Even if Nascent Soul cultivators like us enter it, we are in danger of our lives."
"You don't need to persuade me anymore. We have searched for so many methods during this period of time, but none of them have awakened my sister. The Soul Awakening Pill may be the only way. This kind of pill can repair divine soul injuries, and now it only lacks the main ingredient, the Pure Spirit Flower. I will not give up." Ye Zimei nodded affirmatively.
"Alas, since you have such determination, it is okay to follow. However, Zhang has said that everything is up to my arrangement. You cannot act without authorization, otherwise I can guarantee to reach the destination." Zhang Ling pondered for a moment and looked at the woman and said.
"That's natural, I won't cause you any trouble. Besides, I have a rare treasure in my hand, which may be helpful for us to enter the Heavenly Palace." Ye Zimei smiled lightly, and a spiritual light flashed in her hand, taking out a gray object.
"Oh, what treasure?" Zhang Ling asked casually, and his eyes fell on the object in the woman's hand.
It was a gray bell, only the size of a thumb, and it was impossible to tell what material it was made of. It was engraved with many small spiritual纹(灵纹: patterns), but the spiritual light it emitted was not strong, it seemed to be just a magic tool.
The style of the bell was very simple, and it was not something refined by the current cultivation world. It looked like a magic tool left by ancient cultivators. Ye Zimei shook the gray bell in her hand, but no sound came out.
However, Zhang Ling's eyes suddenly lit up, because while shaking the bell, he found that although no sound came out, the air around the bell seemed to distort a little.
"Space fluctuation, could this be... Space Responding Bell."
"That's right, this is the ancient cultivator's rare treasure, Space Responding Bell. I didn't expect that your strength is not only much higher than our sisters, but your knowledge is also extraordinary." Ye Zimei didn't seem to expect that he could call out the name of the bell all at once, and was surprised.
"Hehe, I have only seen some introductions about the Space Responding Bell in an ancient book. How do you have this thing? Is this treasure really like what is recorded in the ancient book, can it sense space fluctuation?"
"This Space Responding Bell is not actually mine. It is the treasure of the blood-colored boy who controlled me before, and the original owner also belonged to Tian Chenzi. During the Tianyuan Secret Realm, the blood-colored boy relied on this treasure to pass through several dangerous space cracks areas before reaching the depths of Tianyuan. Since the Heavenly Palace also has space cracks, with the magical power of this treasure to sense space fluctuation, it should be able to avoid a lot of danger."
"By the way, you should also take the Thunder Spirit Shuttle. This is the ancient treasure inherited from the Ding family. It is a top-quality ancient treasure and can perform Thunder escaping magical powers, but to activate this treasure, it consumes a lot of thunder attribute spiritual power. I saw that you can also perform thunder attribute magical powers before, I think you can also use it."
Ye Zimei said hesitantly, and then took out a white shimmering object. On closer inspection, it looked like a small flying boat, but the middle was hollowed out, and you could see dense spiritual light threads wrapped around it.
"So it's this thing, no wonder the escaping speed was so fast before." Zhang Ling smiled strangely.
"What, have you seen the Thunder Spirit Shuttle?"
"Hehe, before, your sister and I were able to escape from the Kunshan Sect ruins thanks to this treasure."
"So that's it, but unfortunately my sister is comatose now, and I don't cultivate thunder attribute spiritual power, this treasure is of no use to me."
Zhang Ling did not refuse, and took the two treasures in one fell swoop.
The Space Responding Bell can sense space fluctuation. It usually doesn't ring. It only issues a warning when it senses space fluctuation.
With this rare treasure, you can sense space fluctuation in advance, so as to avoid danger. This is an extremely special treasure, and the method of refining it has long been lost.
The Thunder Spirit Shuttle, like a spirit boat, is the treasure that he and Ding Ruozhao activated when they escaped before. At that time, they escaped thousands of miles away in a short period of time. It turned out that the magical power of Thunder escaping was used. It was also a top-quality ancient treasure of escaping technique. I didn't expect that it has been worn on this Fairy Ye.
As for why this woman knows that he can perform thunder attribute magical powers, this is not surprising.
In the past few years, they have been to many places for Ding Ruozhao's situation. Inevitably, they will encounter some dangers, and this woman has naturally seen him take action.
Once, on the way of flying escape, the two encountered three ghost cultivators in the Golden Core stage, and Zhang Ling directly used the Thunder Light spell condensed in his body, instantly killing the ghost cultivators.
With these two rare treasures, entering the Heavenly Palace is indeed more secure.
"Now that we have made a decision, let's set off now. But even with the location map of the Pure Spirit Flower, it is not a small risk for the two of us to break into the Heavenly Palace. It may be a little inconvenient to bring you, why don't you enter it for a period of time first, and I will let you out when you enter the Heavenly Palace."
Zhang Ling played with the two treasures in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, a cyan gourd appeared in front of him. The cyan gourd was suspended in mid-air, surrounded by a layer of cyan and white spiritual energy. It was a Two Forms gourd.
Ye Zimei looked at the cyan gourd. She had seen this gourd many times in the past few years. Although Zhang Ling did not explain what this treasure was, there was a space of about one acre inside the gourd, which could store things like a storage bag, and could also store living things.
For several years, they have traveled to major markets, and it is naturally not suitable to bring the comatose sister. She is not at ease to let her sister stay in the temporary cave or inn all the time.
So every time she transferred, she used to let her sister stay in the spirit beast bag temporarily.
The difference between a spirit beast bag and an ordinary storage bag is that it can hold living things. The storage bag is completely closed, but the spirit beast bag has a gap connected to the outside world, so it can naturally hold people.
It just sounds a bit awkward. Of course, there is also a certain risk. Once the spirit beast bag is suddenly destroyed, the cultivators inside will also be killed.
This Fellow Daoist Zhang not only took out a gourd that seemed to be a real space treasure, but also took out a piece of Soul Nourishing Wood and put it on her sister's body to nourish her sister's divine soul.
Ye Zimei glanced at Zhang Ling complexly, and nodded slightly.
Zhang Ling did not hesitate, and a magic formula was cast on the gourd, and a cloud of cyan and white aura emerged and took Ye Zimei into it.
In an instant, Ye Zimei arrived inside the gourd. The space inside was changed to an ice room, with a layer of ice mist floating everywhere. There was also an ice bed several feet wide in front of her, and her comatose sister was lying on it.
There was also a incense table next to it, floating with a layer of purple mist, and inhaling a little mist could make people feel refreshed. This mist was also a thing that nourishes the divine soul, many times more powerful than the Soul Fixing Liquid she used for her sister before.
Ye Zimei came to her sister's side and wiped off some of the frost condensed on Ding Ruozhao's face. She sighed with a complicated mood, and also sat cross-legged next to the ice bed, quietly meditating.
At the same time, she was thinking wildly in her heart, and she had never been able to see through this Fellow Daoist Zhang, who was related to her sister.
However, Zhang Ling has been helping her sister wholeheartedly for the past few years, and she has also developed a lot of goodwill towards this person, and she also has some understanding of this person.
If the person standing in front of her was another Nascent Soul old怪(老怪: monster), she would not have spoken so impolitely just now.
The Zhang Ling outside, at this moment, cast a magic formula on the cyan gourd, and the Two Forms gourd sank into his sleeve robe and was put away by him.
Then he opened his mouth and sprayed out a cloud of clear air, in which a similar cyan gourd was also rotating, but the color of this gourd was much darker than the previous one, and it was deep cyan.
This is his Natal Treasure Two Forms gourd. With a turn of the gourd, a black light shot out from it and turned into a black-faced youth, who was the transformed Black Tortoise.
As for the cyan gourd just now, it was another Two Forms gourd that was re- accelerated growth with the mysterious bead in the past few years.
There is a big difference between the two gourds. Although they are both Two Forms gourds, his Natal Treasure has grown for more than 20,000 years to the limit.
The cyan gourd has only grown for about seven or eight thousand years, and the cyan and white aura contained in it is not much. The space in the gourd is only about one acre in size.
It is roughly equivalent to 30% of the spiritual energy of the Natal Treasure, and it is just a simplified version of the Two Forms gourd. The gourd that was accelerated growth was originally for Ding Ruozhao to use temporarily.
Zhang Ling also had some small discoveries in this. As long as the Two Forms gourd is not refining, the clear and white aura in it will not harm living things. That is to say, the Two Forms gourd can indeed be used as a space treasure.
Now that he is going to the Heavenly Palace, letting Ye Zimei stay in it can also save a lot of trouble.
