The changes within his body completely exceeded Ling Feng's expectations!
Immediately, Ling Feng forcefully suppressed the innate true fire within him.
At the same time, the greatly weakened Crimson Gold Dragon quickly swam out.
Hua Puti and Su Xingyan clearly saw the bulging skin on Ling Feng's arm, watching as the Crimson Gold Dragon crawled out from his wrist once more.
The Crimson Gold Dragon was entirely dark red, emitting a scorched smell. The pungent scent of blood made the entire dragon tremble.
*Whoosh!*
The Crimson Gold Dragon escaped from Ling Feng's body and instantly leaped back into its iron can, even using its claws to cover the lid. It looked as if hiding provided it with a sense of security.
Ling Feng could only offer a wry smile at this sight.
The two people beside him were utterly dumbfounded, especially Su Xingyan, who couldn't comprehend what was happening at all.
How could the majestic Crimson Gold Dragon, which refused to yield even in the face of death, be so terrified?
Three seconds later, Su Xingyan snapped back to reality and immediately let out a vulgar exclamation.
"Holy hell! Ling Feng, what did you do to my Crimson Gold Dragon? Why does it look scorched? Do you think you're making crayfish?"
Hua Puti also looked at Ling Feng with surprise, especially at the wound on his wrist. After a wisp of bloody steam dissipated, it had completely healed.
What a formidable healing ability!
Ling Feng vaguely understood what had just happened and could only shake his head with a wry smile, "It's due to the cultivation technique I practice. My innate true fire is too overbearing, and these蛊 (gu) worms… cannot withstand its tempering!"
"Cannot withstand? Bullshit, my Crimson Gold Dragon…"
Although Su Xingyan didn't know what innate true fire was, he knew it was definitely caused by Ling Feng's true qi. He instinctively cursed.
But after glancing at the still trembling iron can, Su Xingyan couldn't say the rest of his words.
Anything more would be bragging!
The reality was right before him: the Crimson Gold Dragon, highly praised by Su Xingyan, was so scared that it nearly urinated itself and was almost turned into roasted dragon shrimp.
What else could he argue?
Ling Feng felt a slight sense of guilt and said softly, "However, Elder Su, you don't need to worry. After being tempered by the true fire and recuperating for a while, the Crimson Gold Dragon will become even more powerful! This is beneficial for it!"
Su Xingyan looked at Ling Feng with suspicion, clearly not trusting Ling Feng's statement.
Ling Feng had an idea and, disregarding Elder Su's expression, spoke his mind directly, "Elder Su, perhaps, after the Crimson Gold Dragon recovers, I can temper it a few more times, and it will be able to…"
"Forget it! I only have this one Crimson Gold Dragon, and it's rare in the world. If you play it to death again, who will I complain to?"
Su Xingyan interrupted Ling Feng before he could finish.
It was obvious that the Crimson Gold Dragon could not withstand Ling Feng's overbearing true qi.
This made Su Xingyan lose a lot of face!
Ling Feng's mouth was shut, and he could only shake his head helplessly.
"Innate true fire? So, Ling Feng, your true qi should be fire-attribute. The Crimson Gold Dragon is gold. Fire overcomes gold. The five elements are in conflict, so it's also unsuitable!" Hua Puti said slowly, already beginning to study the theory of the five elements' mutual generation and restraint between gu worms and the human body.
Su Xingyan nodded in agreement, then pointed to the wooden box, "Then try the Clear Water Gu. It can keep your mind clear at all times. Although its lethality is not great, the longer the innate gu is raised, the smarter a person becomes! It can even develop abilities that surpass ordinary humans!"
Ling Feng had no choice.
Seeing the pathetic state of the Crimson Gold Dragon, it was already good enough that Su Xingyan allowed him to continue experimenting with gu worms. How could he dare to pick and choose?
He took out the wooden box from the first layer and opened it. Inside was a transparent worm, extremely small, and the entire box was filled with mist.
"Place it in your palm, and it will enter your body on its own!"
"Alright!"
Ling Feng responded and poured it onto his palm.
At that moment, the Clear Water Gu seemed to have completely evaporated. With a burst of water vapor, it completely entered Ling Feng's palm.
Unlike the previous painful sensation, this time, Ling Feng felt a suffocating feeling!
It was as if a piece of wet paper was covering his face, making it difficult to breathe!
Soon, like the Crimson Gold Dragon, the Clear Water Gu appeared in his dantian.
Ling Feng didn't hesitate and activated his true qi.
*Boom!*
A dull thud was heard, and Ling Feng couldn't help but open his mouth.
*Pfft!*
A large amount of water vapor diffused out.
Hua Puti retreated repeatedly, afraid that this thing was poisonous.
Su Xingyan's eyes widened, his eyeballs almost falling out. He stared at Ling Feng and asked sternly, "What's going on? What's happening now?"
Ling Feng looked embarrassed, "It seems… it was directly refined by my true fire."
"This…"
Su Xingyan's face turned extremely red. His proud creation was completely incompatible with Ling Feng's body?
"Impossible! Try the stone box from the third layer again! It contains the Vine Armor Worm. It can make your body as flexible as vines and is extremely poisonous. This thing is wood-attribute, and wood gives birth to fire! I don't believe it still won't suit you!"
Su Xingyan's tone became increasingly anxious, his eyes turning red!
*Pfft!*
The Vine Armor Worm entered his body, and a dull sound came from Ling Feng's nostrils.
It was like a wisp of green smoke.
Su Xingyan's mouth was crooked with anger.
Hua Puti asked Ling Feng, who was looking embarrassed, with a wry smile, "How is it? Burnt up again?"
"It wasn't burnt up… but it seems to be cooked."
Ling Feng gave a wry smile. This time, he had controlled his internal true fire. At the same time, he opened his palm, and a piece of wood that looked like charcoal appeared in his palm.
It was indeed cooked, and it even had a meaty aroma…
Su Xingyan, having just recovered from a serious illness, almost spat blood upon seeing this.
"You… you! I don't believe it, the porcelain jar from the fourth layer…"
*Pfft!*
"Burned up…"
"Damn it, the sixth layer…"
*Squeak squeak…*
"Ah, this one didn't die. It's still alive."
Another gu worm narrowly escaped death and returned to its dwelling, half-crippled, lacking even the strength to move.
Su Xingyan's face turned red and then purple!
"The seventh layer…"
*Slap, slap!*
Hua Puti reached out and patted Su Xingyan's shoulder heavily, interrupting his words.
Su Xingyan was startled, "Hua Puti, what are you doing? Do you look down on my gu worms?"
"It's not looking down on them! But it's very clear that Ling Feng's physique is special, and ordinary gu worms cannot withstand it! How about… we just stop? If you keep trying like this, Old Man Su, you'll lose your coffin money!"
Su Xingyan suddenly came to his senses upon hearing this.
Looking at his pathetic gu worms again, Su Xingyan's eyes… became moist!
