Chapter 18: Phoenix Flame

Qin Chen affirmed, and just as old dragon was about to lift Qin Chen's bloodline seal, a voice came from Kong Tai's back, "Do you really think that you can cripple him today."

It was an elven girl with typical green hair and eyes. She had a well-defined curve, a perfect pair of peaks not too small and not too large just perfect. She had a mesmerizing smile. She was really beautiful.

Kong Tai's face became black, "Elise don't meddle in my affairs otherwise Humph."

Newcomer was named Elise. She merely giggled and said, "what do you think that now you have entered rebirth realm you can defeat me."

Kong Tai snorted, "humph then let me see "senior sister Elise's power."

Just as Kong Tai was about to attack green vines with oval scale like pattern emerged from ground and bound Kong Tai tightly. Without giving Kong Tai time to react she appeared behind him and kicked him on his butt. Kong Chen flew and disappeared from sight.

Elise snorted and said, "overestimating himself."

Then she turned and asked Qin Chen, "are you alright junior brother."

Qin Chen nodded his head then turned to look at his fainted friends and said, "senior sister they."

Before he could complete his sentence Elise waved his hand and four vines emerged from her feet and slithered toward Zhou Ping and others and wrapped around them. Vines started to shine with green vines. Elise's martial spirit was evergreen silk vine. It contains a large amount of vitality.

Elise said at this moment, "they will be alright after some rest. Lead out the way I will drop them there."

Afterwards Elise dumped them in living room and said, "junior brother now you owe me a favor, be ready to pay in future."

Then she laughed and left.

After Elise left Qin Chen went to his rip and sat on top of jade bed and asked old dragon, "old dragon, is there a way to open eighteen hidden meridians.

Old Dragon hesitated and finally said, "you can't sense those hidden meridians in your body, going by logic you have a purple spiritual root so you shouldn't be lacking in comprehension. So, there is only one reason that your hidden meridians should be too frail to be sensed. If you want to open them up, then you will have to destroy them and made them up from scratch."

Old dragon didn't say anything else and allowed Qin Chen to process this information on his own. After a moment of thought Qin Chen asked, "so do you have a way."

Old dragon sighed and said, "I do have two ways, but I thought you may not be able to endure the pain."

A determined gleamed flashed through Qin Chen's eyes. "I am ready, I need to be ready. If I was strong enough would Kong Tai dared to attack me. My friends would not be hurt."

Old dragon at last told Qin Chen, "First way is to use your bloodline. I can a small part of your bloodline seal. Because bloodline is a part of your body it will destroy your meridians it will not destroy its roots, but you have to control it yourself. And before you ascend it is nearly impossible to control your bloodline."

"Second way is to find a flame or thunder filled with vitality like tribulation thunder, purple emperor flame, chaos flame, phoenix flames or true dragon fire. Tribulation thunder is not going to strike you, at least not at the moment. You can't find purple emperor flame in mortal world as it already has an owner or had. Chaos flame is just a legend, and you can't find a dragon or phoenix if they don't want you to so don't bother. So, you need to find someone with true dragon or fire phoenix martial spirit to help you in this little stunt. If the said person is an alchemist all the better."

Qin Chen suddenly exclaimed with joy, "why didn't you tell me this before. My martial nephew's, means Dean Feng's martial spirit is a fire phoenix."

Old dragon nodded but suddenly realized, "wait! You have a martial nephew."

Before Qin Chen can answer old dragon exclaimed again, "no, no, wait dean Feng is your martial nephew."

Qin Chen haven't told old dragon about dean Feng being Professor Liang's grand disciple. Simply because he forgot.

Qin Chen rolled his eyes and said, "I forgot to tell you about this. I forgot to tell you about this. I'll let you know later but for now let's go to dean Feng."

Qin Chen suddenly asked, "old dragon how much time it will take."

Old dragon said, "If nothing unexpected happened, will take at least three days."

Qin Chen asked suspiciously, "what do you mean by that."

Old dragon said in a serious voice, "of course if you don't die."

Qin Chen suddenly felt like strangling this old dragon to death, but then he remembered that he hasn't even seen old dragon yet.

"So, it will take at least three days, hmm I need to inform master that I'll be going in seclusion to open my meridians, otherwise if I disappeared for three days, she will surely beat me after I left seclusion." Qin Chen thought.

After that he made his way to Professor Liang's residence. Professor Liang was reading a book when Qin Chen arrived. He went in and after greeting stated his purpose of coming. Professor Liang narrowed her eyes asked, "little brat why did you ran all the way here just to tell me this, now tell me the truth."

Qin Chen replied embarrassedly, "Master I want Dean Feng to refine my body a final time with his phoenix flames. So, you see I came here to tell you because I don't want to get beaten up like last time when I was refining my skin."

Professor Liang's eyes bulged, and she nearly yelled, "You bastard you call that skin refinement, you jumped into earth fire used for alchemy. Now you want to use phoenix flames to refine your body, are you mad. Phoenix flames can even burn a whole planet down in a matter of minutes. No absolutely Not. I won't let to try this stunt."

Qin Chen hurriedly said, "But master my martial spirit is special if I don't die in an instant I won't die."

Professor Liang snorted, "humph who do you think you are. With your cultivation just a little spark of phoenix flame and you'll die without even sensing any pain, it'll be that quick."

At this moment old dragon chimed in, "what she says is true."

Qin Chen was really depressed why didn't this bastard of a dragon haven't said this beforehand.

At this moment old dragon said again, "But you don't have to worry, if you protect your body with sun moon energy and Feng Yahui control's his phoenix flames temperature, you'll be alright. It's just that you'll be in unimaginable pain. More than the time when you crushed your bones because phoenix flames will affect your soul. I can prevent your soul from injuring, but you have to endure pain none the less."

After three hours of persuasion professor Liang finally yielded but on one condition that she have to present at that time.
