Chapter Ninety-Six: Sadness Flows Into a River

After Xu Xin looked at Xu Dan and the others, he raised his head and glared at Yi Tianqi fiercely, angry and annoyed, "You are a bastard!"

Tianqi laughed dumbly at this sudden scolding, but he didn't expect that Xu Xin, who had always been silent, would suddenly become angry after her sister and the others left.

"Miss Xu Xin, what did I do wrong? Why do you scold people casually, even if I do something wrong, I can't be angry."

Xu Xin sighed angrily: "When I was refining the pill just now, if you hadn't been staring at me all the time, there would have been so much trouble."

Tianqi suddenly realized that he was blaming the beautiful woman in front of him for something, but was this a bit of a strong word?

"Miss Xu Xin, you are alchemy in the square, shouldn't I, as an audience, look at you and look at my own toes?"

"Then why are you always staring at me, there are nine people in the square who are also alchemizing?"

Tianqi smiled slightly, and said a little jokingly: "Who made you look so good-looking, and you are so good at alchemy, the water flows to a low place, and people look at a high place, don't you look at other people? If you really want to blame, I'm afraid you will be blamed, I wonder why you turned around and smiled at me at that time, and your laughter ended up implicating me in this trouble."

Xu Xin's cold face was slightly red, and he was out of breath, but he couldn't argue, so he had to point at Tianqi and scold: "You are a complete bastard, hmph, we have nothing to talk about."

Xu Xin wanted to leave after speaking, Tianqi knew that he was joking a little too much, so he immediately grabbed Xu Xin and smiled, "It was just a joke just now, don't mind."

Xu Xin glanced at Tianqi angrily, "What do we have to talk about, you and I are not familiar with each other."

Tianqi didn't seem to hear this at all, glanced at the people passing by, tilted his head to the side, and said, "This is not suitable for conversation, I have some things like asking you, let's talk in another place."

After speaking, Tianqi ignored Xu Xin's answer, and walked to the front to lead the way, Xu Xin saw this, paused, bit his lips lightly, and still followed.

The two of them walked for about a quarter of an hour, and when they arrived in a mangrove forest, Tianqi stopped there was no other sound around except for birds, and Xu Xin also stopped.

Tianqi turned his head, looked at Xu Xin, who was about five meters away from him, and said with a smile: "Now that your sister Xu Dan is not here, we can talk happily, but it's inconvenient for us to talk like this."

Xu Xin's expression returned to his previous coldness, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly", but after Xu Xin's words paused, he added: "If you want to ask me why I don't like to laugh, then let's stop talking."

Tianqi also knows that this woman has a very heavy heart, and she will not say her thoughts lightly, if her words are too intense, it will cause the other party's disgust.

"I'm not interested in knowing other people's secrets, but what I want to ask is what kind of flame you use when you are alchemizing?

Although the two are far apart, but it is quiet here, and the cultivation of the two is not low, even if it is the other party's whispering, it can still be heard clearly, Xu Xin was stunned, and a trace of surprise flashed in some eyes.

Tianqi smiled and said, "You don't care how I see it, I'm just interested in your flame."

Xu Xin thought for a while before he said: "For many alchemy masters, in fact, this is not a very mysterious secret, what I use is indeed not an instinctive fire, but a flame conjured up by a fire attribute technique."

Tianqi was shocked, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Xu Xin's words made some sense, and the flame used by Xu Xin's alchemy was indeed like the fire of skills, as long as he practiced the magic of the fire attribute, he could learn the fire of skills, just like Tianqi learned the "Red Practice Decision" , he can wrap the fist with the fire of skill when he hits the red practice box, so as to hurt the enemy, but the fire of the red practice that Tianqi learned cannot be used for alchemy, because he can't accurately control the fire of red practice, and alchemy needs to be able to accurately control every centimeter of the range of the flame used, so for the use of skill fire to alchemy, the difficulty of controlling it is not something that ordinary people can control.

"Hehe, there is some truth to your statement, but why haven't I heard of it?"

Xu Xin didn't show any sense of contempt for Tianqi because he didn't know this, but thought for a while before saying: "How vast the Heavenly Spirit Continent is, what we see is only the tip of his iceberg, and what we know is only the most basic level, and I only know it by chance when I meet a master to guide me."

Tianqi thought about it carefully: For such an important matter, it is impossible for Xuan Lao not to sue me at that time, but why didn't Xuan Lao sue me? If it is said that there must be a leak in the Hundred Sects of Xuan Lao, but what is missing is definitely a small matter that should be paid attention to in alchemy, and it will never be this kind of thing that is very important to people who make alchemy, unless there are other reasons for this matter.

The more Tianqi thought about it, the more he felt that there was something strange in it, and Xuan Lao would never give him "Ghost Dragon Jue" just to improve his body's resistance to fire.

"Miss Xu Xin, I'm afraid there are still things to pay attention to, otherwise you won't be the only one who will use this skill fire in today's Dan Realm competition."

Xu Xin didn't hide it: "For those of us who are only more than ten years old alchemists, there are indeed very few people who know about this matter, mainly because our place can only be regarded as a small place in the Heavenly Spirit Continent, in the center of those Heavenly Spirit Continents, where spiritual cultivation gathers, this kind of secret method is something that almost everyone knows, it is not a secret method, and if you want to completely cultivate such a secret method, you must go through the nine turns of instinctive fire."

"The Nine Turns of Instinctive Fire Quenching Body", Tianqi had seen it in books before, but he didn't understand what it was at the time, and now he understands that it was like this.

"Presumably, this nine-turn quenching body that has experienced this instinctive fire is very dangerous."

"Indeed, if there is no strong person guarding by your side, if you try the Nine Turns Quenching Body of Instinct Fire alone, the chance of failure has reached ninety percent."

Tianqi didn't expect that this Instinctive Fire's Nine-Turn Quenching Body would be so difficult, "What will happen if you fail?"

"At worst, I can't move in bed for half a month, and I can't move at worst."

Xu Xin was afraid that Tianqi would try it privately, so out of kindness, he added: "I hope you don't practice casually, otherwise don't blame me for your death."

Tianqi listened to Xu Xin's words, and was indeed a little afraid.

"When this instinctive fire nine turns quenching body practice, is it more difficult to turn one turn than another?"

Xu Xin nodded, "Well, indeed, but as you experience more revolutions, then the stronger your ability to control the skill fire, and when the ninth turn passes, you can completely transform the instinct fire into the skill fire."

Tianqi smiled, and he also knew how dangerous it was to take chestnuts from the fire, but how could it not be a way to improve his strength?" "Hehe, congratulations, you have passed the nine turns of the body after the instinct."

However, Xu Xin was not as happy as Tianqi imagined, and his cold face became even more fierce and sad.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you sad when others praise you?" asked Tianqi puzzled.

The corners of Xu Xin's eyes were a little moist, and a trace of reddish blood appeared around her pale blue eyes.

"No, I haven't gone through the Nine Turns of Instinctive Fire."

"What! Didn't you say that you have to go through the Nine Turns of Instinct Fire before you can learn the control of Skill Fire?"

Xu Xin paused, looked at Tianqi and didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something in his heart.

Tianqi stepped forward and said seductively: "Hehe, you don't have to worry, I will forget everything after listening to it, naturally I won't say it, and in fact, you are too tired of life, some things should be said, and holding it in your heart will make you more and more uncomfortable."

Xu Xin pondered for a while, frowned slightly, and sat down on a dead wood trunk next to her, Tianqi also sat down next to her, and did not force her again, Tianqi understood that at this time she should let her think clearly before deciding whether to say it or not.

After a long time, Xu Xin glanced at Tianqi, and under the crescent-like curved eyebrows, like a flood bursting the embankment, pouring down wildly, tears flowed down into a river.

Tianqi took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, Xu Xin took the handkerchief, calmed his churning heart, and then choked up: "Can I borrow your shoulder to lean on?"

Tianqi hummed softly.

Xu Xin leaned his head sideways on Tianqi's shoulder, her red eyes echoed the surrounding mangroves, and Tianqi sat quietly beside her, listening carefully to what she said

"When my mother was young, she was a village girl, and one morning, she suddenly found a young man covered in blood lying in front of my mother's house, and the man said that he met a group of bandit cultivators on the way out to check the business, and only he escaped by luck, begging my mother to save him, my mother was kind-hearted and saved the young man, and then the young man recovered, but he did not leave immediately, because he had feelings for my mother, and my mother was pregnant with me at that time."

Xu Xin sobbed, wiped the tears flowing on his face, and continued: "That young man became my father, and later, my father's people found my father, and my father actually left my mother ruthlessly, hehe, do you know, I was born the day after my father left!"

Anyone who hears this will be furious, blaming that man for being so ruthless and unjust, Tianqi heard this, his eyes were also a little moist, and an incomparable anger rose in his heart, but he suppressed his anger with aura, his demeanor remained the same, and he continued to be a pious listener.

"If it weren't for my mother's side, my mother would have chosen to commit suicide by hanging the beam, and then I and my mother depended on each other, living a poor but still solid life, but when I was five years old, my family suddenly came to a group of people, it turned out that my father felt sorry for my mother, came to pick us up to Xu's house, my mother was unwilling, but thought that I could no longer suffer with her, so I agreed"

Tianqi said lightly: "It seems that your father still has a little bit of humanity."

Xu Xin heard Tianqi's words, and snorted coldly, "For the Xu family, the first family in the Zhudan Empire, do you know what is most important to them? It's not family affection, but reputation! It's reputation! If he had any human nature, he wouldn't have discarded me in the firewood room because my body structure was different, he wouldn't let me call him father, he wouldn't let me appear in front of outsiders, every time he heard outsiders say that the Xu family actually had a daughter of waste wood who couldn't cultivate spiritually, he actually beat me with a whip after he came back."

"What! He's not human, you're his own daughter, how can he do it"!

"Hehe, what else he can't do, when my mother saw me being beaten, she secretly sent me medicine, and was discovered by the eldest mother, who is Xu Dan's own mother, and he told my father that my father actually imprisoned my mother. Later, when I went out to fetch water, I met a teacher, who sympathized with my plight, so he damaged ten years of cultivation and helped me transform the meridians, and after my meridians were changed by him, I could directly use the fire of skills to alchemy without going through the nine-turn quenching body of instinctive fire, and I could even cultivate the spirit, the teacher not only helped me change the meridians, but also taught me alchemy, taught me to cultivate the spirit, but two years later, the teacher had something to leave, and I could only grope for spiritual cultivation alone in the firewood room."

"Yes, the closest thing in the world is not only family affection, sometimes the relationship between teachers and students can be comparable to family affection!" Tianqi sighed in his heart.

"After the teacher left, I stayed alone in the firewood room, acting cautiously every day, I didn't feel at home at all, and my father still beat me often, and once, he actually beat my mother in front of me!"

Speaking of this, Tianqi also felt the murderous gaze in Xu Xin's eyes beside him, and the red dead leaves around him were also lifted up by her strong murderous aura.

Tianqi knew that Xu Xin's mother was her reverse scale, and Xu Xin could bear his father's thousands of whippings to himself, but the dragon's reverse scale, which was angry when touched, Xu Xin naturally couldn't bear it.

"I didn't even think about it at the time to pick up the flat pole that carried water, and smashed it at my father, my father is also a spiritual cultivator, I didn't hit him, my mother fainted in fright, I thought that this time I was dead, who knew that my father did not blame me, but happily picked me up, as if I saw a pile of gold and silver mines, and later I learned that my father found that I could cultivate the soul when I threw the flat pole to him, although I would be so happy."

"Hehe, presumably your life should have been better from then on", Tianqi suppressed his sad and indignant feelings in his heart and said with a wry smile.

Xu Xin raised his head, stared at Tianqi's delicate face with red eyes, nodded, and continued: " Indeed, because I can still use the skill fire alchemy, my father is even more happy, and even thinks of me more than Xu Dan, sends me to the best academy to study, gives me beautiful clothes, and buys me whatever I want to eat, and I don't have to live in a firewood house, and I built a compound for me to live in, I was very obedient at that time, they told me to laugh and laugh, and I did whatever they wanted me to do, because my mother also had the status of the second young grandmother of the Xu family because I could cultivate the spirit and use the skill fire alchemy, but all of these changed overnight”。

Tianqi continued to listen, and from Xu Xin's murderous expression, he also guessed that Xu Xin's life might have completely changed overnight!
