Chapter 108: Retreat
After taking the ring from Zi Yan, Xiao Ling checked it out. As expected, it was just as Zi Yan said. Most of them were medicinal herbs, as well as a few weapons and some fighting skills.
Taking out a few sweeter medicinal herbs, Xiao Ling handed them to Zi Yan, "These are more suitable for your taste. Just consider them as your reward for collecting medicinal herbs for me."
After taking these medicinal herbs, Zi Yan's smile became even stronger, "Hehe, then I will accept these medicinal herbs reluctantly."
After that, Zi Yan picked up a fruit and put it in her mouth to chew.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling shook his head with some amusement, "Eat slowly, don't choke, no one is competing with you for these medicinal herbs."
The two of them walked and played, and soon walked into the living room.
Seeing Xiao Ling and Zi Yan coming, Yao Ye, who was originally sitting on a chair, brightened up, stood up, walked to Xiao Ling, and spoke first: "Master Xiao Ling, I am the eldest princess of the royal family, Yao Ye, I am a little rude to come to visit you today and disturb your practice."
Waving his hand, Xiao Ling showed a faint smile on his face, "Nothing, I just finished my practice..."
The two chatted for a while, but they got a little familiar with each other.
Through chatting with Yao Ye, Xiao Ling got to know more about the imperial capital, no longer limited to the description in the original book.
After feeling that the time was right, Yao Ye said the purpose of this visit, "Master Xiao Ling, we have prepared three portions of medicinal materials for refining the Pozong Pill. I wonder if you are free now."
Taking out a storage ring, Yao Ye handed it to Xiao Ling. Obviously, the three portions of medicinal materials for refining the Pozong Pill were stored in this storage ring.
Reaching out to take the ring, Xiao Ling checked it and found that it was indeed the medicinal materials for three Po Zong Dan, and there were some extra precious medicinal materials, which should be a gift from the royal family.
After confirming that the number of medicinal materials was sufficient, Xiao Ling put the ring away.
Xiao Ling took out a porcelain bottle containing Po Zong Dan from the ring and handed it to Yao Ye. "It's not necessary to refine it. Now I just happen to have a ready-made Po Zong Dan on hand. I think Jia Lao should be a little impatient. You can take this Po Zong Dan back."
After listening to Xiao Ling's words, Yao Ye was a little unresponsive. Can you still play like this?
After a slight pause, Yao Ye showed a smile and reached out to take the porcelain bottle handed to him by Xiao Ling.
Although he is not an alchemist, Yao Ye has no problem identifying the authenticity of the pill.
After confirming that this is indeed a genuine sixth-grade peak Po Zong Dan, Yao Ye carefully put it into the ring.
"In that case, I won't bother Master Xiao Ling anymore. You can come to the royal family when you have time." After saying hello to Xiao Ling, Yao Ye turned around and left, heading towards the imperial city.
Originally, Yao Ye planned to invite Xiao Ling to the palace to refine pills, which would not only ensure that there would be no accidents in refining pills, but also allow him to communicate more with Xiao Ling and deepen his good impression of the royal family.
However, now that the Pozong Pill is in hand, there is no reason to invite him again, and such a treasure as the Pozong Pill must be handed over to his great grandfather first.
Seeing that Yao Ye had left, Xiao Ling retracted his gaze.
Now that the conditions promised to the royal family have been met, it is time to go into seclusion for a while.
Xiao Ling took out a ring and handed it to Zi Yan, "I will go into seclusion for a while later, which should take about half a year. These are the pills I prepared for you, which are enough for you and Liekongzuo to eat for a year. If you finish them in advance, go to Yao Lao to help you refine them."
Zi Yan and the other two girls already knew Yao Chen and knew that he was a super strong man in his lifetime and now he has become Qing Lin's teacher.
Taking the ring handed to her by Xiao Ling, Zi Yan nodded, "I know. I heard from Yao Lao that swallowing the strange fire is dangerous. You have to be careful and don't get hurt."
Touching Zi Yan's little head, Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't get hurt."
After explaining a few words to Zi Yan, Xiao Ling found Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin again and told them that he was going to retreat.
Xiao Ling gave Zi Yan and the others a few instructions. This retreat to swallow the strange fire took a long time, so the arrangements for Zi Yan and the others had already been made, and now he just emphasized it again.
Before the retreat, Xiao Ling met Yao Chen, "Old Yao, during my retreat, please take care of them for me."
Touching his beard, Yao Chen showed a faint smile on his face, "Leave this to me, I will teach them three to practice well and will not let them waste their talents."
Although he was surprised that Xiao Ling actually found the second strange fire, Yao Chen was still very happy. After absorbing the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, Xiao Ling would have two strange fires. When he absorbed his own Bone Spirit Cold Fire, he would be able to control three strange fires at the same time and use the most advanced body refining method to refine a new body for himself.
"Well, thank you, Old Yao. After I come out of retreat, I will get a Seven Illusion Azure Spirit Saliva to restore your soul." Xiao Ling smiled and nodded, and after leaving a word, he walked into the practice room.
...
As Xiao Ling entered retreat, the three women's lives became peaceful.
In addition to daily practice, they fought each other and practiced practical experience.
Although the days are rather dull and boring, this is the daily situation for practitioners in the Douqi Continent.
Qinglin and Xiaoyixian, the two girls, also made great progress in their cultivation under Yaochen's guidance.
Without opening the evil poison body, Xiaoyixian spent four months using the foundation-building spirit liquid and the Yellow Dragon Pill to improve her cultivation from the fourth stage of Dou Qi to the ninth stage of Dou Qi. After taking a Qi-gathering powder refined by Yaochen, she successfully advanced to Douzhe.
After that, she took the initiative to take poison and opened the evil poison body. By constantly absorbing poison, within two months, her cultivation was improved from Douzhe to the peak of the great Doushi.
Such a promotion speed really shocked Yaochen. The improvement of cultivation by the evil poison body is really terrifying. No wonder I heard that the Glacier Valley Master had refined himself into an acquired evil poison body.
In the past six months, Qinglin's cultivation has also been greatly improved. With the help of the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils, within half a year, he was promoted from the fifth stage of Dou Qi to the peak of Doushi.
Although Qinglin's cultivation level improvement speed is not as fast as that of Xiao Yixian who has activated the evil poison body, with the help of Ziyan and Liekongzuo, he used the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils to subdue three fifth-level snake monsters, namely a fifth-level earth rock snake king, a fifth-level black water snake, and a fifth-level six-winged black snake king. The three snake pets complement each other and can exert their peak strength in most environments. It is not difficult to match some low-level Douhuang.
