Xia City, Political Hall
Upon returning, Xia Hong imdiately released the Cold Ruins Tripod.
Without waiting for a call, Li Xuanling quickly walked to the Cold Ruins Tripod and sat down cross-legged, obediently feeling the situation in her abdon.
"I haven’t ignited it, don’t be in a hurry!"
With a slight movent of his mind, Xia Hong injected system coal resources into the Cold Ruins Tripod, and a great fire instantly rose within, quickly increasing the temperature around them.
Hiss......
At the mont the great fire rose inside the tripod, a faint burning sound was imdiately emitted from Li Xuanling’s body, gradually intensifying and causing a pained expression to slowly appear on her face.
"How is it, can you endure it?"
Seeing the painful expression on Li Xuanling’s face, Xia Hong’s expression imdiately beca tense, ready at any mont to extinguish the Cold Ruins Tripod.
Li Xuanling kept her eyes closed, still looking pained, but managed to speak with effort: "It’s effective; it seems to be... being refined..."
Being refined?
Xia Hong’s brows slightly furrowed as he looked up at the Cold Ruins Tripod, his expression sowhat uneasy.
The suppressive effect of the Cold Ruins Tripod on deceitful monsters was undeniable, but the concern was whether this refining process would affect the fetus in her abdon, which was his greatest worry.
Ultimately, the abdon belonged to Li Xuanling, and whether it had any effects was sothing only she could know. Xia Hong could only quietly wait by her side.
Li Xuanling’s face kept the expression of pain, with large beads of sweat seeping from her forehead, and Xia Hong patiently wiped them dry again and again.
After half an hour, Li Xuanling’s tightly furrowed brow finally relaxed, and she slowly opened her eyes, her face showing both relief and a hint of clear unease, speaking worriedly:
"Just now, when it had consciousness, it kept trying to impact the fetus in my abdon, but I blocked it by mobilizing my qi and blood. This fire of the Cold Ruins Tripod seems to have burned away its remaining consciousness. I can’t expel it from my body, so I can only allow it to be refined."
Xia Hong placed his hand on Li Xuanling’s abdon, sensing for a mont and noticing there was no foreign matter inside anymore, he imdiately asked:
"After being refined, did your body show any abnormal signs?"
Li Xuanling shook her head gently, her expression sowhat confused.
Xia Hong frowned; Li Xuanling had no experience dealing with deceitful monsters, but he had encountered them three tis before, accurately speaking, he had defeated them three tis.
Deceitful monsters being refined was not sothing special, like Xia Chuan’s black blade and transparent silk thread, and the Puppet Inheritance; the Yang Mirror in his left eye; He Yuanhun’s Yin Mirror in his right eye, all were likely results of refining deceitful monsters.
Li Xuanling refining the Jade Dew Stone in her body should have brought benefits as well.
Not showing any abnormal signs was itself an unusual occurrence.
"Is that Jade Dew Stone very important to you, I’m sorry, I..."
"Don’t overthink it, I’m just worried about the two fetuses in your abdon. The Jade Dew Stone, no matter how important, can’t be more important than them, can it?"
Upon hearing Xia Hong’s words, a gentle expression imdiately appeared in Li Xuanling’s eyes, and she then raised her hand to cover her abdon softly, speaking gently: "The consciousness of the Jade Dew Stone has been completely eliminated, rest assured, the fetal movents are still very weak, but I can feel that they haven’t been affected!"
Although the Cold Resistance Level doesn’t have the function of inner vision, it provides a strong ability to perceive all organs and each ridian within the body, which made Li Xuanling affirm this confidently, as the fetus indeed seed to be fine.
Moreover, even if Li Xuanling overlooked sothing, there was always the Cold Ruins Tripod!
As Xia Hong turned to look at the Cold Ruins Tripod, his expression gradually cald down.
Reflecting on past encounters with deceitful monsters, the Cold Ruins Tripod’s performance has never disappointed him, as its suppressive force on deceitful monsters exceeds any other item.
[Cold Ruins Tripod (Level 4): Can significantly raise the temperature within a five-kiloter radius by burning coal, eliminate elentary and interdiate deceitful monsters, intimidate advanced deceitful monsters, strongly attract Cold Beasts, and consu coal resources for forging tal.]
"The White Dew Gu, after all, is only an interdiate deceitful monster, and the Cold Ruins Tripod possesses the power to eliminate it, so there shouldn’t be any problem."
Xia Hong deliberately checked the description of the Level 4 Cold Ruins Tripod, clearly seeing "eliminate elentary and interdiate deceitful monsters," and finally felt completely at ease.
"I will place the Cold Ruins Tripod in the Star-picking Hall... No, I will put it in your bedroom. You shouldn’t wander outside during this period; just stay in Xia City to nurture the fetus and cultivate, waiting until the child is safely born!"
After the recent shock, Li Xuanling naturally had no objections at the mont, and hearing Xia Hong’s commanding tone, two faint blushes rose on her cheeks, she nodded slightly and responded in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s: "Got it."
"Han Yue, escort Madam back to the Star-picking Hall for rest."
Han Yue, who had been waiting outside the hall doors, imdiately walked in upon hearing the command. Evidently having heard the conversation inside the hall, she solemnly assisted Li Xuanling, guiding her around the hall towards the Star-picking Hall.
Xia Hong sat alone in the grand hall, staring at the Cold Ruins Tripod, his brow tightly furrowed.
The White Dew Gu was resolved, but it seed incomplete.
At least, until the two children are normally born, he dared not be careless, constantly monitoring the situation in Li Xuanling’s abdon.
"Cultivation, the higher the cultivation level, the stronger the power, which naturally provides greater protection for the fetuses. Before the children are born, still need to find ways to elevate her cultivation as much as possible! Let her first break through, twenty-seven manes, mid-stage Cold Resistance Cultivation, just five manes short of late stage, and thirty-seven manes short of the peak."
