Chapter 235: The Youth in the Yellow Sand!
Wiping the sweat from his forehead with a wave of his hand, Liu Ling was about to turn around and head eastward through the desert when his expression suddenly changed, and he swiftly punched into the yellow sand in front of him.
As his powerful palm strike, accompanied by streaks of flame, penetrated the sand, a piercing scream erupted from within it.
Witnessing this scene, the young Purple Winged Lion King cub behind him stepped forward, extending its huge claws to dig into the sand.
The next moment, a demon beast was grasped in the young Purple Winged Lion King cub's claws and pulled out of the sand.
A pool of deep red blood began to seep into the surface of the yellow sand.
Liu Ling, with an indifferent gaze, glanced at the demon beast that had lost its vitality. This type of demon beast, known as the Magic Scorpion, can only be found in the desert.
These creatures often hide within the sand, waiting for unsuspecting victims to step on them, and then they strike, releasing their venom. Magic Scorpions are incredibly adept at hiding; even those who travel the desert regularly can sometimes fall victim to their attacks.
Therefore, although they are considered less than first-class beasts, they are often viewed by humans as one of the more troublesome creatures in the desert.
However, no matter how skilled the Magic Scorpions are at concealing themselves, in the eyes of Liu Ling, who possesses exceptional soul perception, they are like fireflies in the dark night, shining brightly. Stealth attacks against him are almost impossible.
Crack!
The young Purple Winged Lion King cub, holding the corpse of the Magic Scorpion, directly stuffed it into its mouth, producing a chilling chewing sound.
Liu Ling cast a somewhat strange look at the young Purple Winged Lion King cub.
Doesn't it fear being poisoned?
Many of the demon beasts in this desert contain deadly toxins.
After the young Purple Winged Lion King cub finished its meal, Liu Ling then got up and started walking slowly towards the eastern part of the desert, his steps somewhat heavy.
He couldn't help but think that training in the desert was more monotonous than he had expected.
Moreover, this was Liu Ling's first time leaving home for training. Every night, he would silently gaze at the bright moon in the sky, lost in thought.
When he was training within the Yunlan Sect, he didn’t feel as lonely.
But in this vast desert, where nothing but sandstorms were in sight, the desolate feeling of loneliness was somewhat unbearable, with not even the shadow of a demon beast to be seen.
Half a month of trekking on foot finally brought Liu Ling deep into the Tagore Desert.
At this point, Liu Ling was dressed only in knee-length shorts, his upper body completely bare.
In the depths of the Tagore Desert, where human presence is rare, he didn’t feel embarrassed about his appearance.
Before leaving the sect, Gu He had told him that exposing the skin to the sun would allow for more efficient absorption of the fire attribute energy contained in the air.
Liu Ling always revered his teacher’s words.
Thus, when he arrived deep in the Tagore Desert and found himself alone, he simply shed his clothes.
On the endless golden sands of the desert, a figure in shorts, lying on the scorching yellow sand, biting his teeth, was naturally Liu Ling. Back in the Yunlan Sect, Liu Ling used to temper his body daily with spiritual liquid. Now, lying on the hot sands, he could barely withstand it.
After lying in the sand for a while, Liu Ling took out a small jade bottle filled with a red liquid from his storage ring.
Opening the bottle, he tilted it slightly and poured a few drops of the red liquid onto his somewhat darkened back.
"Hiss…"
After the red liquid, known as "Blood Fire" spirit liquid, touched his back, Liu Ling clenched his teeth tightly, releasing a cool breath. He grasped a handful of yellow sand, not caring whether the sand was scorching hot.
This "Blood Fire" spirit liquid is designed to open all the pores of the body, making the skin more sensitive to the fire attribute energy in the air, thus doubling the effectiveness of cultivation.
"Half a month of cultivation has indeed brought good results. I can already feel the Dou Qi in my body progressing towards the realm of a Seven-Star Dou Grandmaster," Liu Ling said excitedly, feeling the changes within his body as he waved his hand over the sand.
Then, Liu Ling again dripped a few more drops of the "Blood Fire" spirit liquid, spreading it all over his body.
He lay flat, his back towards the scorching sun above, and buried his head in the hot sand pile, covering his face with a layer of Dou Qi film.
In this desert, although every place is filled with robust fire attribute energy, after a day of exposure to the sun, the energy in the yellow sand becomes more refined. Therefore, Liu Ling's peculiar method of cultivation allows his body to absorb the accumulated fire attribute energy from the sand crazily.
After burying his head in the sand, Liu Ling's senses slowly faded away, the raging sound of the wind and sand gradually disappearing. Turning his attention inward, he noticed that the "Blood Fire" liquid applied to his back was rapidly penetrating into his body under the scorching sunlight. Despite the burning pain causing his muscles to twitch uncontrollably, the robust and pure fire attribute energy brought him a sense of satisfaction amidst the suffering.
With the stimulation of the Blood Fire spirit liquid on the skin, the already rich fire attribute energy in the surroundings seemed to find its source, continuously pouring into Liu Ling's body.
As a Six-Star Dou Grandmaster, Liu Ling did not need to exert much effort to properly channel this incoming energy.
Controlling the flow of this fire attribute energy through several meridians and after refinement, the energy was injected into the red cyclone in his lower abdomen.
The cultivation continued slowly in this dull and lonely environment. When the Blood Fire spirit liquid on Liu Ling's back was completely evaporated, a small drop of crimson liquid finally condensed in the red cyclone.
This tiny crimson liquid joyously flowed within the cyclone, lively and nimble like a small fish in a lake.
Gazing at this newly formed crimson droplet, Liu Ling smiled slightly. After some time of exploration, he had roughly calculated that when about thirty droplets accumulated in the cyclone, he would have enough energy to advance to a Seven-Star Dou Grandmaster.
Now, with twenty-eight crimson droplets in the cyclone, it meant that with two more droplets, Liu Ling could advance to a Seven-Star Dou Grandmaster!
"Almost there…"
Murmuring softly, Liu Ling suddenly raised his head, fiercely shaking off the sand from his hair, then leaped up from the sand surface, shouting towards the sky: "Almost there! Seven-Star Dou Grandmaster!"
