Qin Zongheng waved head, "No…Of course not! I've asked you to heal Feixiong and I hold confidence in you."
Nodding, Qin Dong turned around and smiled at Qin Feixiong, "Big brother, would you like to have a try?"
Qin Feixiong was courageous, answering loudly, "Sure! You're my younger brother. I trust in you and entrust my life to you!"
Qin Dong laughed, "You're so brave! Fine, let's go inside!"
Qin Feixiong made up his mind and paced into the cave, suffering its coldness. Qin Zongheng worried about his safety and ensued.
The four elders intended to follow them but were prevented by Qin Dong. "Elders, please stay outside the cave and guard us."
"But…" Zhao Qingchuan swallowed his words when seeing Qin Dong's confident and smiling face, albeit his concern.
"Xiao Dong, I wanna go inside!" Aware of the danger in the cave Qin Feiyan begged Qin Dong's approval out of her curiosity.
"No! You cannot bear the chill inside. Stay out of the cave with us!" Zhao Qingchuan replied.
"Xiao Dong, I…" Qin Feiyan flicked an imploring look at Qin Dong and he was unable to refuse the desire in her eyes.
"She will be alright if she stays with me." Qin Dong held her hand and disappeared in the dense icy air.
Upon her arrival at the cave, Qin Feiyan felt like her bones scraped by a frozen steel sabre. As she knitted eyebrows and mustered her spiritual energy to block the air, warmness from Qin Dong's palm rushed into her body through her hand. She was so cozy that she could not help trembling. The coldness vanished at once, as though a formless sun above her head separating her from the icy air.
Stunned, she twisted around to Qin Dong and he was looking at her with tender and smiling eyes. She bathed in happiness though nervous.
"Feixiong, are you OK?" Qin Zongheng's caring question woke her up.
Qin Feixiong kept quivering in the intense freezing air and misery unfolded on his ashen-white face. The chill air permeating in the cave tortured every inch of his flesh.
He struggled to survive, but in vain. Each step consumed much energy, as if his feet infused with lead.
The strong-willed guy insisted, albeit the torment, "Grandpa, I can…can…hold on!"
"Xiao Dong, go to help the first young master!" Qin Feiyan could not bear to see that.
Qin Dong behaved cold-blooded and answered gruffly, "He cannot endure the coldness anymore, but we haven't reached the center of the cave yet. If so, my method doesn't work on him. Big brother, you need to insist, if you want your cultivation base return to the previous level. Climb on the ice bed first. "
"What? Xiao Dong, I'm afraid that Feixiong is unable to bear its frigidity!" Qin Zongheng asked anxiously, face twisting.
The bed was made of ten-thousand-year-old mother ice. Even Qin Zongheng, a martial artist at the peak of the Xiantian stage, could not resist its coldness, let alone Qin Feixiong. Qin Zongheng reckoned that Qin Dong's practice would put Qin Feixiong to death.
Qin Dong beamed, "I know you cannot protect yourself against the chill air. Rebirth stems from death. You need to face death first while seeking revitalization! Big brother, you're not afraid of anything, are you? Now, have a try!"
"It's…so…crazy!" Qin Zongheng believed Qin Dong's capability, but did not expect his madness. He was too eager to know what to do.
Qin Feixiong stepped towards the ice bed without hesitation and drew up all of his left spiritual energy to resist the iciness that froze every drop of his blood.
Qin Dong admired Qin Feixiong's intrepidity and persistence and was sure Clan Qin led by Qin Feixiong would create a new era.
