Chapter 542: 498 was first established, four

".....So lucky.... So she must not be short of money, right?" Yun Chen said with envy.

Not far away, Li Chengyi also discreetly entered the water, keeping a respectful distance due to the distinction between men and women.

The hot spring water was not much different from ordinary hot water. The temperature was around fifty degrees, which was actually lower than his own body temperature. That’s why he often used his death ability to suppress his surface body temperature here; otherwise, people would have noticed something was off a long time ago.

"Tu Yunyun is a well-known rich lady of the Suyue Sect, so of course she’s not short of money," Kui Ling said lazily, squinting her eyes, showing off her snowy shoulders above the water and leaning against the stone wall.

"Then does her urine really have beautifying and nourishing effects?" Yun Chen asked again.

"Not just that, it can also remove toxins from the body, improve sleep quality, and has many other benefits," replied Kui Ling, her eyes now closed, answering offhandedly.

Splash.

Suddenly, Yun Chen plunged headfirst into the water, completely soaking herself in the hot spring.

"...."

Kui Ling and Li Chengyi stared in shock as she drank several big gulps of water while submerged.

"Is she for real!?"

Li Chengyi couldn’t understand his senior sister’s line of thinking.

The thought of someone’s urine being mixed in the water he was soaking in already made him feel a bit uncomfortable, but he endured it for the sake of enhancing his recovery.

But his senior sister was even more extreme...

"Why are you all the way over there? Come here," Kui Ling said, just now realizing that her godson seemed to be keeping a distance from her, off to one side of the spring.

"I’m good here, no need for everyone to crowd together, thank you, ’Mother’," Li Chengyi responded, with no intention of getting any closer. Despite calling her ’Mother’, he didn’t actually think of Kui Ling as his mother, but more as a friend.

"Are you shy?" Kui Ling exclaimed, suddenly catching on.

She looked down at her figure and a sly smile spread across her face.

"You little rascal, you’re actually shy?"

"After all, the child has grown up and has their own sense of gender," Yun Chen chimed in, emerging above the water. "As they say, ’a daughter should avoid her father, and a son his mother as they grow up’. Master, you should be more careful now."

"Really?" Kui Ling blinked.

"Yes," Yun Chen nodded.

Swish!

Suddenly, Kui Ling reached out and, in an instant, a figure appeared in her arms—it was Li Chengyi, who had just been on the other side!

Using an unknown method, with a flash of blue light, she had transported Li Chengyi across the water to her side.

"Then I’ll just scrub you one last time today! From tomorrow on, I’ll make sure to be more mindful," Kui Ling said with a giggle, as she reached out her evil hands and started pinching Li Chengyi’s face randomly.

"Look, here he goes! His first reaction! Hehehe."

At this moment, Li Chengyi was motionless.

He had just been talking to Kui Ling, and the next moment, darkness engulfed his surroundings.

He seemed to enter a strange and exceptional state.

Initially, the fifty-something degree hot spring, which had felt slightly cool, suddenly started to heat up rapidly.

The temperature soared to ninety degrees, then a hundred, two hundred...

Li Chengyi felt his whole body growing hotter and hotter.

He could sense countless ant-like substances entering his skin, blood, muscles, and bones.

This tingling substance seemed highly effective, even stimulating the five Sublimation imprints of recovery in his body to quiver slightly.

This indicated that the substance was significantly enhancing his body’s recovery capacity.

’Is this the hot spring’s permanent enhancement?’

Li Chengyi felt this enhancement, which was modest and short-lived, lasting only a few minutes before the tingling sensation began to fade.

The surrounding darkness also seemed to gradually brighten and vanish.

’This should be over now.’

According to his estimate, if he soaked like this twenty or thirty more times without any change in the effect, his body’s recovery capacity could go up a notch, achieving a new level of Sublimation. That meant forming a new Imprint related to recovery.

But this would only work if every session was this effective, as the first use of a medicinal bath always had the best effect, with subsequent uses becoming weakened due to the body’s resistance.

Just as Li Chengyi was about to leave this curious state, a thought struck him.

’Wait... what if I use that... right now? What would happen?’

He suddenly had wild idea.

Among his many Flower Language Abilities, one of the most versatile was a special ability he had recently enhanced.

In theory, in any situation, that ability could be useful; its effectiveness would just vary.

Seeing the hot spring’s effects about to fade, Li Chengyi decided to act on the spot and give it a try!

He gently pressed his hand on the Mark of the Evil Flower, slightly concealing the faint glow it released.

’Flower Language Technique: Good Fortune +2.’

He had stacked this Flower Language Ability three times without using it.

This time, he would try it out in the hot spring to see what level of effect the stacked ability could achieve.

This would also give him a reference for the future.

After releasing the Flower Language Technique, Li Chengyi quickly awaited the outcome, anticipating the effects.

One minute....

Two minutes....

Five minutes...

Ten minutes...

There was no change in the surroundings. It was still the same old darkness...

Wait a minute!!

Li Chengyi suddenly froze, wasn’t the effect of the medicine about to wear off? Why hadn’t he exited yet?

Moreover, he felt the itchiness inside his body had become even stronger than before!

It had clearly been subsiding earlier.

Li Chengyi had a vague feeling that this must be the effect of the Flower Language Ability.

He immediately looked at the description of the Flower Language Ability again.

As his hand touched the section belonging to the Ziwei Flower, new Flower Language information immediately flowed into his mind.

’Flower Language: Good Fortune +2 (At the bottom of the hot spring, a mighty Ancient Crimson Phoenix was slumbering, who should have awakened every twenty years to enrich the hot spring with phoenix blood essence, but... a strange bond of fate at this moment affected her, causing her to inexplicably open her eyes and look towards you, who are soaking above in the hot spring...

Although you don’t look or behave like her ancient offspring, regardless, the Crimson Phoenix sensed a trace of her ancient child’s presence from you...’)

Li Chengyi: "....."

The Flower Language description continued.

’(That trace of presence involuntarily made the Crimson Phoenix recall the warm and beautiful times spent with her child. The overlay of emotions and fate naturally caused her to shed tears.

The precious tears of the Phoenix King possess an extremely powerful and everlasting enhancement to recovery abilities, and as if fate was enticing, those two drops of the Phoenix King’s Tears just so happened to merge into the hot spring you were soaking in and, guided by fate, fortuitously penetrated your skin and merged into your body, thus... an adventure led by fate was born...’)

"..."

Li Chengyi was completely at a loss for words.

God damn fate, this Flower Language Ability is simply incredible!

He carefully counted, exactly three times.

Three strokes of fate, consuming all three chances of Good Fortune he had accumulated.

What a coincidence...

’So this is the effect of the ability??’

For the first time, Li Chengyi felt the terror inherent in this Flower Language.

He had successfully comprehended this Flower Language Ability before when it helped save his life from the pursuit of the King of the Death Angels.

And now, it had forcefully created three so-called twists of fate!

’This ability must be leveled up to the peak as soon as possible, its effects are too strong!!’

As this realization hit him, Li Chengyi’s mind flashed with numerous scenarios where he could apply this ability.

Whether it was escaping or encountering adventures, this ability could be used in any scenario, and its covert nature was extremely high.

As long as it’s not as exaggerated as this time, a single use of it would generally be dismissed by everyone as a mere coincidence.

Li Chengyi pondered this in his heart, but soon, he had no more time to think.

A faint silver-white color began to permeate slowly from the darkness beneath his feet.

The silver-white, like a liquid, had transformed the surrounding ground into silver-white the moment it entered the darkness.

By the time Li Chengyi noticed, it was already too late.

An odd chill rapidly climbed up from his legs.

It was cold, bone-chilling, but his body exhibited signs that were the complete opposite.

His skin was red-hot, and his muscles and bones seemed to be steamed like in a bamboo steamer, with a large amount of the silver-white fluid entering his body as if it were being absorbed by a sponge.

The Ancient Crimson Phoenix, according to the records of the Sword Sect he had once seen, was as large as a mountain range, and its tears, needless to say, were indeed massive.

Now, a great deal of the silver-white liquid had completely enveloped Li Chengyi.

Countless mysterious substances began to infiltrate his entire body, enhancing his already sublimated recovery abilities, and even his vitality improved slightly as a result.

It was only because he was already strong that the boost in his life force did not surpass the improvement in his recovery abilities.

Time ticked away by the minute and the second.

In the blink of an eye, over an hour had passed.

Inside Li Chengyi’s chest, a new circular Imprint was faintly trying to coalesce.

The pattern of the Imprint was like a ring with a beautiful phoenix curled up inside, pale red and emanating red light and warmth.

Li Chengyi, who had fallen into silence, abruptly opened his eyes, feeling that the sublimation and qualitative change in his chest were nearly complete, and that after a period of time, a new Imprint would break through naturally.

This was the sixth Imprint related to his recovery abilities! The ninth Imprint overall!

By now, his recovery abilities had reached an unimaginable level, unheard of in both his former sect and the current Faceless Sword Sect, that someone would choose so many Imprints dedicated to enhancing recovery abilities.

’In at most a year, this Imprint will appear naturally... what an unexpected blessing!’ Li Chengyi was in high spirits.

To think that soaking in a hot spring could condense an Imprint, it was like picking it up for free!

Recalling the past, he had to work hard and risk his life just to condense an Imprint.

But now, an Imprint naturally formed as easily as eating and drinking.

The stark contrast between then and now left Li Chengyi momentarily silent.

"What’s up? You awake now?" Kui Ling’s voice rang out beside his ear.

It was only then that Li Chengyi came back to his senses; he had already left the dark space and returned to the hot spring.

And the key point was...

He was now lying in Kui Ling’s arms, in a position that was strikingly similar to being breastfed!!
