Cold Clouds

Lin Xiaoxiao came to the trial site of the Suzaku clan and sat there as usual waiting for the guardian to come find her.

After sitting for nearly three hours, Lin Xiaoxiao still didn't see anyone.

Bei Qingyun, the slow-looking fellow, should have arrived long ago... Is the guardian of the Suzaku tribe even slower than Bei Qingyun? Or is he dead?

If he is not dead, he is about to ascend to heaven.

At this moment, in a large fiery red cocoon, an old woman slowly opened her eyes and sighed.

Why is someone here now? What a coincidence.

The woman named Nan Xingyou is the guardian of the Phoenix clan's trial ground, but she is very bored because no one has come here for hundreds of years. She thinks that since no one comes anyway, she might as well just sit there and ascend.

It was difficult to ascend with only a soul, so she used the red rocks in the trial ground to piece together a body, and even cultivated it to the point where she could ascend.

A terrifyingly powerful talent.

As for what she would do after leaving this trial realm... it was none of her business? These people couldn't come one by one, so what was the point of keeping them?

Now it can be considered the eve of ascension. We will be able to leave in two days. Nanxing You can already see some of the secrets of heaven.

But she really didn't foresee Lin Xiaoxiao's appearance.

After thinking for a while, Nan Xingyou peeled off the cocoon and walked out.

I hope it can end soon. It would be bad if I missed this opportunity to ascend. I will probably have to wait for several more years.

When Lin Xiaoxiao dug a basket of stones and filled two pots of magma, Nan Xingyou appeared in front of her.

"The rules are..." Nan Xingyou threw the map to Lin Xiaoxiao, and then explained the rules as usual.

Lin Xiaoxiao took the map and glanced at Nanxingyou.

She felt that the old woman's aura was a bit strange. It didn't make people feel uncomfortable, but it had an aura that didn't belong to the underworld.

Forget it, let’s go speedrun first.

Nan Xingyou was shocked when Lin Xiaoxiao came back in just two or three minutes.

Are all humans like this now? If it's so terrifying... why haven't the demons been extinct yet?

Nan Xingyou looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, a little hesitant, but finally decided to speak.

But Lin Xiaoxiao spoke faster than her and had said that sentence three times, so she had already memorized it.

Nan Xingyou was stunned. Lin Xiaoxiao's words brought some small shock to the common sense of this powerful Suzaku clan who had lived for thousands of years.

How can you live well if your body, soul and blood are not matched?

But Lin Xiaoxiao was alive and well, and was still urging Nan Xingyou.

Nan Xingyou always felt that something was wrong. He evolved Lin Xiaoxiao's body, but looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, unable to figure it out.

How did this girl manage to combine Kunpeng, the real dragon and the phoenix into one? According to the legend, the phoenix gave birth to Kunpeng, and Kunpeng feeds on the dragon. How can they exist in one body so harmoniously? Is this reasonable?

Scary.

After finishing Lin Xiaoxiao's business, Nan Xingyou planned to go back. He had to hurry up and prepare for ascension today, as he would have to pass the tribulation in a few days.

"Um, are you going to ascend?" Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly asked. Although she had no basis for her answer, she felt that this should be the case, otherwise it could not explain the aura on Nan Xingyou's body.

"Huh? You figured it out?" Nan Xingyou looked a little surprised and glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao. "You're really a smart guy. You can actually figure it out."

"It seems like you have a lot of opportunities..." Nan Xingyou looked at Lin Xiaoxiao for a while, then waved his hand, "Then don't bother me anymore, let's go."

"I have a way to help you," Lin Xiaoxiao said, "if it's about ascension."

Nan Xingyou was stunned for a moment, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes when he looked at Lin Xiaoxiao.

Really or not, she herself has no good solution. Nan Xingyou thought about it and decided to listen first. After all, Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to have a lot of opportunities, maybe she really has some tricks?

"Tell me about it." Nan Xingyou spoke, and Lin Xiaoxiao smiled slightly at this time and took out a pill.

"I made this pill with Fire Jade Fruit, Sky Flame Vine, and Red Fall Tree leaves as the main ingredients, and added some other auxiliary ingredients," Lin Xiaoxiao handed the pill to Nan Xingyou, "Senior, you are cultivating the fire attribute, this thing will definitely be good for you."

Nan Xingyou took the pill and swallowed his saliva.

The fire spiritual power in this pill is extremely strong. After taking this pill, she will have a much better chance of overcoming the tribulation.

Very tempting.

"What do you want?" Nan Xingyou hesitated for a moment, then retracted his gaze to look at Lin Xiaoxiao.

This girl is so attentive, she must have some ulterior motive.

"What we're asking is... can you give me something that I can't use after I ascend?" Lin Xiaoxiao approached Nan Xingyou, blinked her eyes, and spoke in a tentative tone.

"Things you can't use?" Nan Xingyou thought for a moment and nodded, "Come with me."

Nanxingyou returned to the cottage he hadn't been to for a long time. Behind the cottage was a huge fiery red tree.

This is her favorite ginkgo.

How strange! Wasn't it originally golden? How long had it been since I came back? The fire element had turned it into this state.

To be honest, it's quite nice.

"This tree...can you take it away?" Nanxing walked to the tree, stroked the rough trunk, and said in a faint voice, "I don't want to take too many things."

It’s time to ascend, so it’s better not to be too attached to the lower world.

"Okay, I'll bring it up to you when the time comes." Lin Xiaoxiao didn't think there was anything wrong with it. The ginkgo tree looked quite festive. "It's really big."

This girl is really confident. Nan Xingyou's eyes were filled with unclear emotions, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Hmm... about a thousand years?" Nan Xingyou thought for a moment, withdrew his hand, turned around and walked to the front of the house, pushed open the door, "Come on, come in, I'll give you something."

Lin Xiaoxiao took some miscellaneous things from Nan Xingyou who was about to leave the underworld. There were things like scissors, vases, as well as weapons like awls, meteor hammers, etc., about eight or nine kinds of things.

But she just held on to the pillow and refused to let go.

"I can't sleep without this." Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao seemed a little confused, Nan Xingyou began to explain.

Can't sleep? Why are you still sleeping when you are about to ascend to heaven? Lin Xiaoxiao was still confused, but she suddenly realized that she didn't need to sleep but still slept every day.

Besides, it has nothing to do with her whether other people like to sleep or not.

"That's about it. These things are enough to exchange for this pill." Nan Xingyou drew a magic circle out of thin air and pointed it at Lin Xiaoxiao. "I'll take you out. Remember to tell the people of the Suzaku tribe."

"Let them find another guardian."

Wow, it's worthy of being an ascension. It's fast. Lin Xiaoxiao came out of the trial realm a few minutes later, stood in a volcanic crater, and glanced into the magma lake.

Well, I wish you success.

A few days later, a sharp cry of the Vermillion Bird erupted in the demon clan’s forbidden area, the “Red Blood Lake”.

The first person to ascend in two hundred years belongs to the Suzaku clan.
