Is it a Flaw, or a Necessary Path to Nirvana?

Billowing steam rose into the air.

In the center of the courtyard, a large "iron pot" was conspicuously placed, purely crafted from refined iron. When Ye Qingxian went to the blacksmith to customize it, she was suspected of wanting to eat people.

Eating people was out of the question.

But stewing people was definitely happening.

Lin Xiao looked at the giant bathtub made of refined iron in front of him, like an iron cauldron. He felt that the ancient Blue Star's cruel punishment of "cooking people" might really be carried out on him.

The Northeast has a famous dish called "Iron Pot Stewed Goose". In the future, Douluo Continent will also have a famous dish called "Iron Cauldron Stewed Lin Xiao".

"What are you standing there for? Take off your clothes!"

Ye Qingxian brought over the improved Medicinal Cuisine, placed it on the side chopping board, and shoveled the medicinal materials for the medicinal bath into the iron cauldron with a spatula, while urging Lin Xiao.

Really, why is this little kid so shy?

He's taking forever to take off his clothes. She almost wanted to do it herself.

Troublesome!

Lin Xiao helplessly took off his top, wearing a pair of loose shorts, and walked towards the iron cauldron.

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan looked pale.

The two stood aside, listless like eggplants beaten by frost, looking at the scene in front of them with some trepidation.

"Mom, is Lin Xiao really going to take a bath in there?"

"The water is boiling. Are you sure no one will die?"

Ye Qingxian took a moment from her busy schedule to glance at Ye Lingling and sneered, "Aren't you always thinking about Evil Fire Body Tempering?"

"If you like it, would I mistreat you? Just name a time, and I'll arrange it for you right away!"

Ye Lingling shivered and stammered:

"Mom, I think I'll pass."

"Actually, I think the extreme training method is pretty good."

From now on, Ye Lingling would never complain about being tired again.

So what if she's a little tired?

It's good to be a little tired!

Dugu Yan pointed to the red-hot bottom of the iron cauldron, her voice trembling.

"Aunt Ye, Lin Xiao won't be scalded to death, will he?"

"It's okay, Lin Xiao's Evil Fire is scarier than this."

Ye Qingxian was a little impatient.

These two little girls haven't seen the world, so they're making such a fuss?

When Lin Xiao really starts Evil Fire Body Tempering later, don't be scared to pee when you see that horrific scene.

Ye Qingxian really didn't want Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling to watch.

It's troublesome, gets in the way, and they're so easily startled.

But she was afraid that Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan would do something stupid and try it themselves one day, wouldn't that be a bit of a pointless death? If the King of Hell asked, would she say they were burned to death or died of pain? Ye Qingxian thought they'd die of stupidity!

Besides, it was also to tell the two little girls that everything in the world has its give and take. If you want to get a rich reward, you must bear severe risks or pay a painful price.

The result of becoming stronger is tempting, but have you made full preparations? At this moment.

Amidst the exclamations of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, Lin Xiao had already jumped in. After drinking the Medicinal Cuisine, he silently recited the Heart Cleansing Mantra and practiced the Five Animal Frolics in the iron cauldron.

As usual, aphrodisiac medicinal materials were added to the medicinal bath. Before long, Lin Xiao felt a heat all over his body, and the Evil Fire in his body surged out from the depths of his meridians. His internal organs seemed to be burned by flames, and the severe pain swept through his body like a flood! This inhuman pain was far greater than last time! "*Towel! Bite it!*"

Ye Qingxian threw the towel to Lin Xiao. Learning from the lesson of the towel being torn to shreds last time, this towel was not only a thickened version, but also made of Hundred Year Ice Silkworm Silk, which was more durable and fire-resistant.

At the same time, she immediately summoned the Nine Hearted Begonia, and a series of Soul Skills were superimposed on Lin Xiao, constantly repairing his body as it continued to break down.

Lin Xiao's body was crimson, veins popping on his forehead, his face twisted, losing its original handsome appearance. It seemed every muscle in his body was straining, bulging into large knots, every inch of him in excruciating pain.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were ashen-faced.

Their legs trembled, their bodies weak.

"Yan Yan."

Ye Lingling cried out softly, actually collapsing towards Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan was caught off guard.

She felt all her strength had left her, and after struggling for a long time, she barely managed to support Ye Lingling.

Ye Qingxian glanced at them and sneered, "You can't even handle this? It's not like the Evil Fire is burning you!"

"Lingling, if you're already collapsing just from watching, what would happen if it were you? Lin Xiao would be killed by you!"

"Mom..."

Ye Lingling cried out in sorrow, tears streaming down her face.

She was truly terrified by the scene.

And Ye Qingxian's words struck a chord in her heart.

Ye Qingxian was right. Lin Xiao sought her out because he trusted her, but if she was as timid as she was today, wouldn't she be harming Lin Xiao? A sense of shame welled up within her.

Tears like small pearls fell incessantly.

Dugu Yan assumed Ye Lingling was frightened and gently patted her back, comforting her, "Lingling, don't be afraid, Lin Xiao will be alright."

"Didn't he make it through last time? Look how calm Aunt Ye is."

Ye Lingling wiped away her tears.

"Yan Yan, you don't need to hold me, I'm fine."

She used her hands and feet, exerting force haphazardly, finally managing to stand up.

Then, with unsteady steps, she walked towards the iron cauldron.

Ye Lingling silently summoned her Nine Hearted Begonia Martial Soul, throwing Soul Skills at Lin Xiao as if they were free, causing Ye Qingxian to purse her lips.

With her, a Nine Hearted Begonia Soul Emperor, present, what use was Ye Lingling, a mere Great Soul Master?

It was all the same whether she was there or not! However, a tenderness welled up in Ye Qingxian's heart.

Even she, an eagle-like mature and steady woman, had grown up through countless pains. Ye Lingling was still a little girl, and being able to grow from this event was the best improvement.

Ye Qingxian didn't focus too much attention on Ye Lingling.

She concentrated all her attention on Lin Xiao's condition.

Her cherry lips parted slightly, and she murmured, "To be honest, I sometimes have a sudden thought, is your Evil Fire really a flaw?"

"According to legend, even after a phoenix becomes a phoenix, it will still undergo Nirvana again and again."

"And each phoenix after Nirvana will be stronger and more noble than before, in countless Nirvana cycles, there is never an end, and there is never an ultimate."

"Because there is no ultimate, it can infinitely become stronger, becoming a more powerful self."

So, is this Evil Fire a Martial Soul defect, or is it the necessary path for Phoenix Nirvana? The phoenix soars among the thousand-ren peaks, not inhabiting anything but the parasol tree.

The phoenix with its noble character will not defile itself, not inhabiting anything but the parasol tree, not eating anything but bamboo fruit, not drinking anything but sweet spring, something ordinary birds cannot understand.

Faced with choices, only the phoenix would choose to torment itself, seeking new life in Nirvana, rather than willingly dwelling in a filthy place. Is this perhaps why the phoenix is the phoenix? "Ah!"

Ye Lingling exclaimed.

Ye Qingxian's thoughts were suddenly interrupted.

She saw flames erupting from Lin Xiao's body, flames that were not an eerie red, but a dark and heavy color, gradually transforming into a mysterious black.

A phoenix cry could be faintly heard.
