"Little Tian, what's wrong?"
Ye Wantong cried out in alarm, rushing towards Lin Xiaotian.
Despite the rising temperature as she got closer, Ye Wantong pressed on, enduring the heat to reach Lin Xiaotian's side.
"Quickly, prepare cold water for me to cool down," Lin Xiaotian said with his eyes closed, his consciousness projecting to Ye Wantong.
"Cold water, okay, I'll go prepare it right away," Ye Wantong replied, hurrying to the bathroom to fetch cold water.
Lin Xiaotian's consciousness returned to the flames. He saw his body engulfed by fire, surrounded by a sea of flames that he couldn't suppress with his own power.
These flames were released during the three-cauldron pill refinement process. If Lin Xiaotian had been focused, he could have controlled the flames with his true qi, preventing them from burning him.
However, once disturbed, the flames would wander uncontrollably, rendering his true qi useless.
Splash!
Ye Wantong quickly returned with cold water and poured it over him. The moment the water touched his body, it hissed like it had met a furnace, instantly turning into steam.
"No way? Is Xiaotian's body temperature this high?"
Ye Wantong couldn't believe her eyes. If he could evaporate water, wouldn't it boil instantly? By all rights, he shouldn't be alive.
"Water, I need more water," Lin Xiaotian said with difficulty. Ye Wantong's spirit trembled, and she rushed back to the bathroom to get more cold water.
This time, she was smarter. Based on the previous situation, a basin or two of cold water was like a drop in the ocean, offering no help. It would be better to connect a hose and douse Lin Xiaotian's body directly to cool him down thoroughly.
With this thought, she immediately got to work in the bathroom. Before long, she dragged a long water hose out of the bathroom, aimed it at Lin Xiaotian's body, and poured water with force.
Hiss!
A cloud of white steam rose into the air. Although much of the water evaporated, Lin Xiaotian's body temperature quickly dropped.
After several minutes of continuous dousing, Lin Xiaotian's body could finally tolerate the presence of water. He was soaked, and his hands continued to release true qi, rotating the three cauldrons to refine the pills.
Seeing him gradually recover, Ye Wantong smiled. She dropped the hose and sat on the ground, wiping sweat from her face. "He's finally cooled down. That was too dangerous just now."
"Huh? Why do I feel so hot?"
Ye Wantong turned slightly and saw her bath towel catching fire. Startled, she screamed and immediately rolled on the ground, aiming the hose at herself. A torrent of cold water sprayed her.
Instantly, the flames on her body extinguished, but the bath towel was washed away by the water. Her eyes were blurred by the splashing water, and she fumbled on the ground for the towel, but couldn't find it.
Just then, her hand seemed to touch a soft towel. She became happy, pulled it hard, and draped it over herself.
She controlled the hose and managed to open her eyes. But the moment she opened them, she saw she was wearing a pair of pants, and they weren't hers.
"Ah!"
As her gaze swept over Lin Xiaotian, her face turned crimson!
She realized she had grabbed Lin Xiaotian's clothes instead of her bath towel.
Lin Xiaotian was still refining pills, his consciousness completely immersed in the three cauldrons, unable to extricate himself.
During the refinement process, he unexpectedly discovered a strange energy hidden within the flames of the three cauldrons. Initially, he controlled the flames with his true qi, but later realized that the flames were not controlled by his true qi, but by that mysterious energy.
"Could the secret to refining pills in these cauldrons not be the pills themselves, but the cauldrons?"
Lin Xiaotian closed his eyes, refining pills while sensing the fusion of that mysterious true qi with his own.
As his internal true qi intertwined with it, it felt as if his meridians were being infused with this power, and his overall energy reached an unprecedented level.
Boom!
With a roaring explosion from the three cauldrons, three powerful streams of energy merged into one and surged into Lin Xiaotian's body.
Lin Xiaotian's eyes snapped open, and he raised his head. A third eye suddenly appeared on his forehead, and a beam of tricolored light rapidly pierced through the roof, shooting high into the sky!
This beam of light instantly penetrated the air, soaring thousands of meters to the clouds. Even the clouds in the sky were filled and covered by this multicolored light!
"Tricolored light, the rebirth of the Heavenly Eye? Could it be that Little Tian has succeeded in changing his fate?"
At the peak of a mountain, Xiao Daozi calculated with his fingers. Seeing the tricolored phenomenon in the sky, a look of surprise and joy appeared on his face!
Little Tian had finally taken this step. He was one step closer to discovering his origins.
Thinking of this, tears involuntarily welled up in Xiao Daozi's eyes!
He had waited for this day for twenty years.
That old fellow from the Dark Hunter organization would finally be unable to sit still!
It was a pity that the Dark Hunter organization was no longer what it was twenty years ago. Whether Little Tian could withstand the immense pressure and take down that ambitious old man was still unknown!
"Tricolored light? Defying fate? Investigate immediately and find out where this beam of light originated. You must bring this person back to me."
At the same time, in a mysterious place, the leader in black robes also saw the tricolored light in the sky. His heart trembled, and he sternly ordered.
Several figures in black immediately nodded and left the place.
After they left, a woman in a graceful, colorful dress gradually stepped forward and said expressionlessly, "Master, since he has appeared, why don't I go and eliminate him personally?"
"No rush. I'll have someone test his skills first. The current tricolored destiny is not the same as Lin Wutian's tricolored destiny from before. Lin Wutian is dead, and there can be no second him in this world. No one can threaten me anymore."
The black-robed figure clenched his fist, looking arrogant.
"Yes, Master."
The woman in the colorful dress slowly retreated. With every step she took, a lotus flower bloomed beneath her feet.
Then, the black-robed figure flicked his sleeve, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, and he sneered, "The abandoned son of the Lin family disappeared twenty years ago. I've been searching for him for twenty years. If the person emitting the tricolored light today is truly him, I should actually feel relieved."
"In the past twenty years, I have never met an opponent. I wonder if this kid can make me draw my sword for him."
