Eight Section Brocade and Five Animal Frolics

The next morning.

The morning dew was heavy, and the air carried a bone-chilling cold. The thatched house leaked a bit. Lin Xiao ate something to replenish his strength and then repaired it.

After a bit of activity, Lin Xiao was steaming with heat, his whole body warm.

The Evil Fire had erupted once, and it wouldn't erupt again in the short term.

But the next eruption was destined to be even more fierce than the last. Lin Xiao had long been mentally prepared for this.

The early morning is key to the day.

Although Lin Xiao hadn't yet hunted a Soul Ring, he had already begun trying to exercise. Since the Heart Cleansing Mantra could help suppress the Evil Fire, then the Eight Section Brocade and Five Animal Frolics from his previous life couldn't be without effect.

Lin Xiao tried them one by one.

In the end, he found that the Five Animal Frolics had a better effect. After performing it once, the residual pain left over from the Evil Fire's burning was alleviated.

It seemed as if a warm current flowed through his whole body, running through his limbs and bones, repairing the damage caused by the Evil Fire's eruption, and also extremely weakly strengthening his body.

"Among the Five Animal Frolics, I can perform the Bird Frolic with ease, and its effect is slightly stronger than the Deer, Tiger, Bear, and Ape Frolics."

"The Eight Section Brocade seems to be inferior to the Five Animal Frolics in strengthening muscles and bones and recovering from injuries, but it has a slight advantage in nourishing the five internal organs."

Lin Xiao decided to practice both.

Five Animal Frolics in the morning, Eight Section Brocade in the evening.

Now, he would practice a few more times to recall them.

"I remember the outline of the Eight Section Brocade, it seems to be..."

"The mind follows the movement, spirit and form are combined, relaxation and tension are combined, movement and stillness are combined."

Huff~ He had been practicing for four hours, and it was already noon.

Lin Xiao stopped and rested for a while.

...

He boiled noodles for lunch.

While eating, Lin Xiao thought: The problem with the Evil Fire lies in the Martial Soul's defect, in that the human body cannot bear the Evil Fire. This is similar to Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul.

If Dugu Bo didn't have the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well to help suppress the poison in his body, he would have probably exploded and died long ago. This is the same as how he used the Heart Cleansing Mantra to suppress the Evil Fire.

It shouldn't be difficult to find out the location of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well from Dugu Bo. After all, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan also have Martial Soul defects, which is in line with Lin Xiao's interests.

But there was still a big problem.

Lin Xiao... he didn't understand Immortal Herbs.

If he rashly went in and accidentally touched one or two poisonous herbs, he would die young.

Fortunately, he had the Heart Cleansing Mantra, which could suppress it in the short term.

Lin Xiao still had time to obtain information.

"In the original work, Tang San, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and the Breaking Clan are known to understand Immortal Herbs."

"Tang San didn't teach any martial arts to those close to him until he became a god, nor did he give Dugu Bo, who had helped him, any reward. He took the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well for himself, but didn't even give Dugu Bo a single Immortal Herb, even though Dugu Bo had been so sincere to Tang San and even thought about marrying his granddaughter to him."

"According to Tang San's selfish nature, if I reveal even a little bit of knowledge about his secrets, let alone teach me, he would probably kill me according to the Tang Sect rules."

"Even if I'm not afraid of him, Tang Hao, this great Buddha, is by Tang San's side. Provoking Tang San is not a wise move."

Tang San's path was a pass.

"Then what about Chrysanthemum Douluo? First of all, as an elder of the Spirit Hall, his status is noble and high above. If I want to contact him, I can only join the Spirit Hall, but I don't plan to join any forces right now."

"Moreover, Chrysanthemum Douluo is arrogant and eccentric. If I reveal the secret of the Immortal Herbs, there are so many Titled Douluo in the Spirit Hall, as well as Pope Bibi Dong and the Hall of Enshrinement, would it be my turn?"

"I dare not gamble."

Only after struggling in society will one know that this world is never about more work for more pay, nor does it pay attention to rewarding merit.

Instead, it's about "flexible distribution."

Chrysanthemum Douluo's path is a pass.

"The Breaking Clan, when it comes to their signature skills like alchemy, they've always treated it as a closely guarded secret. Even their direct superior, the Clear Sky Sect, hasn't been privy to it. Even if I were to marry the daughter of their clan leader, I might not be able to access that kind of information."

Worry, worry, turning a young man's head white! Lin Xiao felt a headache coming on. Was this the difference between novels and reality?

In novels, it only takes a brief mention.

But in reality, there's so much more to consider.

Without thorough preparation, that brief mention could be the end of your life!

In his annoyance, Lin Xiao snapped his fingers.

A strange and eerie flame appeared on his palm, and Lin Xiao unconsciously began to play with it.

Speaking of which...

This fire's temperature is so high, could it be the Ultimate Fire?

"Wait!"

Lin Xiao suddenly looked at the flame in his palm with some surprise.

Ultimate Fire?

Fire is the bane of all poisons. In fact, not only Ultimate Ice but also Ultimate Fire are immune to toxins.

In the original story, Tang San's so-called immunity to all poisons and resistance to fire and water was only achieved by using the Fierce Fire Apricot and the Eight Cornered Profound Ice Herb, and training in the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.

But Lin Xiao was born with it! Although the concept of Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire didn't exist in this era, Lin Xiao had Innate Full Soul Power! This was the standard for Ultimate attributes!

Just like Ma Xiaotao in Douluo Dalu II.

On the other hand, Ma Hongjun, although his Martial Soul was powerful, only had level eight Innate Soul Power, which was still some distance from Ultimate Fire. It was only after consuming an Immortal Herb that he evolved into Ultimate Fire.

"I remember the appearance and effects of the Immortal Herbs in the original story."

"Since I'm not afraid of poison, the plan can work!"

Even as a precaution, Lin Xiao could completely isolate himself with his Ultimate Fire before stepping into the depths of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, ensuring he wouldn't be in danger.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but laugh. He looked at the strange flame in his palm, this domineering and evil Evil Fire, which he both loved and hated.

To search far and wide and find nothing; then it comes to you of its own accord! After planning for the future and clearly seeing a glimmer of hope for survival, Lin Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He felt that the noodles in the bowl, although cold,

seemed even more fragrant than before.

"Life goal: first, survive, and then think carefully about how to live a wonderful life!"

...

Afternoon.

Lin Xiao went out.

He went to the homes of the villagers where he had once bummed meals.

Knocking on doors and visiting each household.

"Aunt Wang, I'm planning to leave the day after tomorrow."

"Little Xiao, you're leaving? Where are you going? Auntie will really miss you. You're so well-behaved and smart..."

"Aunt Wang, it's okay. I'm going to become a powerful Soul Master!"

"Oh, then I'm relieved. Little Xiao, you're sure to be successful!"

After saying goodbye to Aunt Wang, he went to Uncle Li's house.

"Little Xiao? Come in, sit down and eat! I'll get you some food!"

"Uncle Li, I've already eaten. I'm planning to go out for training the day after tomorrow."

"Training? As expected of a Soul Master, are you going with your teacher?"

"Yeah, I guess so..."

"..."

By the time he finished greeting everyone, it was completely dark.

Returning to the thatched cottage, the moonlight illuminated the path in front of the door...

What does the future hold?
