If they were to forcibly remove it, they would likely suffer severe injuries immediately, and the Six-Tails was already on its last legs, so how could it withstand that?
After pondering for a long time, Li Ling's expression changed, and he suddenly transferred a wisp of cold energy into his body. Immediately, the bone-chilling cold made Li Ling shiver. Then, Li Ling disregarded everything else and immediately sat down to meditate and circulate his internal energy to dispel the wisp of cold energy.
At this moment, Li Ling discovered that as he absorbed spiritual energy, the surrounding fiery aura seemed to be subtly attracted to him, entering his body and merging into his meridians.
In just a short while, the chill that Li Ling had thought would take a lot of effort to remove was completely gone.
"As expected... as predicted, my body possesses the bloodline of Zhu Rong, the ancestral god of fire, so this place is actually extremely advantageous to me."
"No wonder my cultivation speed under the sun is slightly faster in the summer than in the winter; I almost forgot about that!"
Thinking of this, Li Ling couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He looked around and realized that this was a treasure trove that would be extremely beneficial to his cultivation!
"how?"
The six-tailed demon fox looked at Li Ling. He knew that Li Ling had inhaled a trace of cold energy into his body earlier. He did not expect Li Ling to be so bold. Then Li Ling began to meditate. As soon as Li Ling opened his eyes, he asked directly.
“No problem!” Li Ling said, “I can gradually absorb and refine the cold energy in your body. According to my estimate, it will take at most a year for all the cold energy in your body to be removed.”
"However, you will lose all your power at that time. Of course, before that, I need you to give me the Mysterious Fire Mirror!"
“Of course, there’s no problem. The moment you agreed to rescue my mother, this was yours!” Liuwei smiled and took out the Xuanhuo Mirror from his bosom, handing it to Li Ling.
Li Ling took the Xuanhuo Mirror and examined it carefully. He saw that it was about half the size of his palm, round in shape, with a jade ring of emerald green on the outside.
In the center of the jade ring is a small, thin, crimson-colored piece that resembles a mirror, with a crudely carved flame totem in the middle. On both sides of the jade ring, there is a red silk tassel tied to it.
In the days that followed, Li Ling stayed there. Every day, Li Ling would absorb the cold energy from the Nine Cold Ice Spikes within the Six-Tailed Fox's body. As time went by, the cold energy gradually decreased, and the Six-Tailed Fox's condition began to improve.
By the end of the month, the Six-Tails was able to suppress the cold energy with its own power and the surrounding environment, and now it can even remove the cold energy little by little on its own.
Meanwhile, cultivating here, constantly resisting and refining the cold energy, absorbing the surrounding flame energy, and having a treasure like the Xuanhuo Mirror in hand, allowed Li Ling's Zhurong bloodline to be fully utilized, resulting in rapid progress in his cultivation and successive breakthroughs.
In just one year, he broke through two levels in succession and directly entered the eighth level.
When it was time to leave, Li Ling bid farewell to the two: "You two, I have benefited a lot from spending a year together. Now, Liuwei, the cold poison of the Nine Cold Ice Thorns in your body has been removed, but it will take you several decades to recover your cultivation level. You should find a suitable place to cultivate."
"Of course I know that!" The six-tailed fox nodded, holding the three-tailed fox's hand. The reason they were here was to use the yang energy here to suppress the Nine Cold Ice Spikes in their bodies.
In fact, this is not the environment that the fox demons like, so it is natural for them to move to another place to live.
"Alright, I'll be leaving now!" Without further ado, Li Ling's Qiankun Sword appeared, emitting a mysterious light, and carried him straight into the sky.
With Li Ling's current sword-riding speed, three thousand miles is not a long distance. In less than a day, he saw the familiar Qingyun Mountain. After reporting to the disciples on duty, he arrived at Longshou Peak and flew directly to the courtyard where Cangsong was resting!
Upon reaching the door, holding the Qiankun Sword in his hand, Li Ling called out loudly, "Master, your disciple has returned!"
"Oh? Master, it's Junior Brother back. What a coincidence." Qi Hao's voice came from the courtyard. It turned out that Qi Hao was also there at this moment.
The door opened immediately, and upon seeing Li Ling, Cangsong stroked his beard and laughed, "Good! Ling, you've returned just in time! I just discussed with the headmaster that we need to make some changes to the rules of our Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament, and I was just about to have Hao'er go to the other six peaks to inform them one by one!"
"Now that you're back, go with Hao'er. It'll be good for you to show your face in front of the other leaders."
"Yes, Your disciple obeys!"
A smile appeared on Li Ling's lips. He hadn't expected it to be such a coincidence. He also remembered that this seemed to be the first time Qi Hao met Tian Ling'er, and the time when he left a very good impression on her.
With that in mind, Li Ling decided to sabotage the whole thing.
Of all the disciples on Dragon Head Peak, Qi Hao was the one who taught them on behalf of their master. Therefore, he was always the one who had the final say on Dragon Head Peak. However, after Li Ling entered the sect, he was directly taught by Cang Song because Cang Song valued him.
In addition, Li Ling's outstanding talent and extremely fast cultivation speed aroused a great sense of crisis in Qi Hao, who secretly tried to trip Li Ling up, but Li Ling easily defused them.
However, from then on, Li Ling made a note of Qi Hao in his little notebook.
Li Ling wasn't particularly interested in Qi Hao's future position as the leader of Dragon Head Peak, but he was determined to ruin Qi Hao's relationship with Tian Ling'er.
The two visited various peaks together. Along the way, Qi Hao subtly inquired about Li Ling's cultivation progress, his experiences outside over the past year, and how he obtained the Qiankun Sword.
However, Li Ling, being experienced, easily deflected the question. He didn't find out anything, but he did learn that Qi Hao had broken through the seventh level and entered the eighth level.
Having met several senior uncles along the way, Qi Hao was surprised to learn that Li Ling had also reached the eighth level, just like him. This made Qi Hao even more wary of Li Ling.
At the same time, Qi Hao was also extremely annoyed. It was like you'd worked hard for twenty years, finally becoming a department head in your forties or fifties, just when you were feeling triumphant, only to have your new boss turn out to be a young man not even thirty. How could you accept that?

Chapter 336: Stirring up good things
For this reason, Qi Hao didn't speak for the rest of the journey, but instead quickly traveled on his sword. Li Ling was happy to have some peace and quiet and followed behind Qi Hao at a leisurely pace.
Feeling frustrated, Qi Hao subconsciously increased his flying speed, and Li Ling followed closely behind. In less than half an incense stick's time, the two of them had already arrived at the top of Dazhu Peak from Feng Hui Peak!
Before they knew it, the two of them arrived at Dazhu Peak. Qi Hao was urging his flying sword at full speed when he suddenly saw a figure in the air riding a sword towards them.
The other party seemed to have just learned to control a sword. He was startled when he saw Qi Hao suddenly appear. He forgot to dodge and instead took the initiative to meet him in his haste.
Qi Hao was preoccupied with Li Ling's matter and didn't concentrate. He only noticed her when she got close and quickly dodged to the side, but still managed to brush past her and knock her to the ground.
"laugh!"
A crimson ribbon-shaped magical artifact flew out from below, catching the falling person in mid-air and preventing them from falling to the ground and getting injured.
Upon seeing the person who had fallen, Li Ling was startled and quickly sped up to catch up. He landed on the ground and asked with concern, "Xiao Fan, are you alright?"
It turned out that the person who was knocked down was Zhang Xiaofan. He had received Li Ling's pills to help him get through the initial stage, and his aptitude had also improved. In addition, his comprehension was not bad to begin with, so his cultivation would be smooth sailing from then on.
