Chapter 183 Changes in Qinglin and Xiao Yixian

Xiao Ling stood at the entrance of the courtyard, the sun shone through the treetops, and sprinkled on his body.

He took a deep breath, and the air was still filled with the familiar fragrance of flowers and the faint smell of herbs.

His eyes passed through the fence and fell on the center of the courtyard.

There, under an ancient pine and cypress tree, a woman was pounding medicine like a poem.

She was wearing a lavender Luo gown with delicate orchids embroidered on the collar, swaying gently with the breeze, like soft waves in spring.

Her long hair fell to her waist like a waterfall, soft and shiny, and was gently tied up by a ribbon of the same color. A few strands of hair fluttered in the wind, setting off her fair neck.

The sun shone through the branches and leaves of pine and cypress, and sprinkled on her body, forming a moving picture of light and shadow.

Her fingers were slender and slender, and every time she pounded the herbs, she seemed so light and powerful, as if she was playing a silent melody.

The flowers and plants in the courtyard seemed to sense her presence, leaning towards her, as if paying tribute to this beauty.

Around her, the air was filled with a faint scent of herbs, mixed with the scent of soil and pine needles, forming a tranquil and beautiful picture that is unforgettable and will be remembered forever.

Xiao Yixian seemed to feel Xiao Ling's gaze, she raised her head, and their eyes met in the air.

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then was replaced by an elusive smile. She stood up, gently brushed off the dust on her body, and walked towards Xiao Ling.

"Xiao Ling, you're back." Her voice was soft, with a subtle tremor, as if to cover up the fluctuations in her heart.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, walked into the courtyard, and waved to Xiao Yixian: "Xian'er, long time no see, did you miss me during my absence?"

Xiao Yixian's face flushed, she lowered her eyes, bit the corner of her lips gently, and seemed to be hesitating how to answer.

After a moment, she raised her head, with stars twinkling in her eyes and a playful smile on her lips, as if with a bit of teasing, and whispered: "Xiao Ling, you are asking knowingly, you are really shameless."

Although her voice was reproachful, it could not hide the joy of reunion

A faint smile appeared on Xiao Ling's face, his voice was soft and magnetic, with a hint of subtle ridicule: "Have you ever thought of me, how do I know. But I must admit that I sometimes think of you..."

Seeing Xiao Ling's figure in the courtyard, a bright light flashed in Qinglin's eyes, and her mood instantly became cheerful.

She seemed to be attracted by an invisible force, and ran to Xiao Ling's side with brisk steps, her face filled with unconcealable joy.

"Master Xiao Ling, you are finally back!" Qinglin's voice was crisp and energetic. She almost jumped to Xiao Ling, her eyes twinkling like stars.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, looking at Qinglin's face, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He reached out and patted Qinglin's head gently, his eyes full of kindness and doting.

"Yes, Qinglin, I'm back."

Xiao Ling's eyes stayed on Qinglin for a moment, noticing the changes in her.

The girl in front of him has become more and more graceful. Her long hair falls to her waist like a green waterfall, and every strand of hair seems to sparkle with the luster of life in the sun.

Her eyes are like the clearest lake water in spring, full of green, revealing a purity that is not stained by dust.

She is wearing an elegant dress, the fabric is as soft as clouds, the color is the tender green of willow buds in early spring, and the hem of her skirt sways gently with the breeze, as if she is the fairy who walked out of the painting.

The delicate golden embroidery on the skirt is like the mottled light and shadow of sunlight on green leaves, adding a bit of noble and lively temperament.

Her skin is whiter than snow, like the finest mutton-fat jade, revealing a faint luster. She is tall and well-proportioned, and every movement reveals elegance and naturalness.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the timid girl who was once childish has transformed into a beautiful girl.

The tempering of time not only gives her a graceful figure, but also precipitates a bit of mature light and unswerving faith in her clear eyes.

Qinglin felt the warmth from Xiao Ling's palm, and the warm current went straight to her heart through her hair. She lowered her head shyly, but did not dodge, but gently snuggled into the warmth.

With Xiao Ling's return, the atmosphere in the courtyard became more active. Xiao Yixian and Qinglin sat around Xiao Ling, their eyes full of curiosity.

Xiao Yixian opened her red lips and broke the silence: "Xiao Ling, how do you feel after swallowing the strange fire this time? What changes have you experienced? Are you injured?"

Xiao Ling looked at the two girls in front of him, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and his voice was filled with excitement that was difficult to conceal:

"Not only did I successfully swallow the strange fire, but my cultivation level also made a qualitative leap. Now, I have entered the realm of Dou Zong." Xiao Ling's words revealed pride and determination.

Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin heard the good news, and their eyes suddenly lit up with surprise.

Dou Zong, that is the height that a cultivator aspires to. Even in Zhongzhou, where there are many strong people, one can establish a sect, and in the Northwest Continent, one is one of the strongest people.

Qing Lin couldn't help but get excited and blurted out: "Master Xiao Ling, you are so amazing. You are always so outstanding. I envy you so much." Her tone was full of girlish feelings, with both admiration and joy.

Hearing this, Xiao Ling smiled and looked at the two girls, with encouragement in his tone: "Haha, sooner or later you will be able to reach my current level. Dou Zong is just a starting point for you."

In Xiao Ling's opinion, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin's cultivation has made a significant leap compared to before he stepped into the underground magma world.

Today, Xiao Yixian has been promoted to the Douhuang realm. Thanks to the various poisons provided by Xiao Ling, the sponsor, she can devour and refine them, and her cultivation has increased rapidly like eating and drinking water.

If Xiao Ling and Yao Chen had not intentionally controlled Xiao Yixian's intake of poisons, and the poison resources in the Black Horn Region were limited, Xiao Yixian's cultivation would probably have already broken through to Dou Zong.

As for Qing Lin, with the help of the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils and various elixirs, although her current cultivation level is not as good as that of Xiao Yixian, she has also steadily reached the realm of the initial Dou Wang.

During Xiao Ling's retreat, she even subdued two sixth-level snake monsters. With these snake pets and the strange methods of the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils, she can easily deal with ordinary Dou Zong.

Xiao Ling's eyes slowly swept over the two beautiful girls, and his eyes revealed a deep sense of relief:

"You have worked hard during this period. During the days when I was away, you still insisted on practicing hard. This perseverance and effort are very rare."

The Little Medical Fairy shook her head gently, with a faint smile on her lips, and said: "This is not a hardship. I can make progress, which is inseparable from the valuable resources you provide and the careful guidance of Senior Yao Chen. On the contrary, you have just broken through to the Dou Zong realm and need to consolidate your foundation."

Qing Lin also nodded in agreement: "That's right, Master Xiao Ling. Although the breakthrough is a happy event, you can't let your guard down because of it. Only by consolidating your realm can you go further on the road in the future."

Xiao Ling smiled slightly, "Well, don't worry, I know my limits about cultivation. By the way, where are Senior Sisters Zi Yan and Han Yue? Why can't I see them?"

Not long after entering the courtyard, Xiao Ling used his soul perception to carefully explore, but he did not find any trace of Zi Yan and Han Yue in the courtyard or even the surrounding area.

The Little Medical Fairy smiled, her eyes sparkling with playfulness, and said jokingly, "Zi Yan couldn't hold back when she heard that there was a "Dragon Scale Fragrant Fruit" in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. She was still tinkering with medicinal herbs this morning, and disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"I heard that she got the news from a student, and out of curiosity, she hurried to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to look for treasures."

Qing Lin covered her mouth and chuckled, and continued, "That's right, Senior Sister Han Yue was worried that she would be in danger alone, so she followed her. The two of them, one is impatient and loves adventure, and the other is always worried and always accompanies each other. They are really a good pair."

After hearing this, Xiao Ling smiled knowingly, "Haha, the Dragon Scale Fragrant Fruit is indeed an irresistible temptation for dragon-like magic beasts like Zi Yan. She must be eager to taste it. Since they have been on the road for so long, they must be returning with a full load. .”

Xiao Yixian nodded in agreement, revealing her concern for her two friends: “Indeed, with Senior Sister Han Yue following her, Zi Yan should not do anything too risky. Let’s wait patiently, they may already be on their way back.”

Qinglin also said: “Yes, they will definitely bring back a lot of interesting things when they come back. I am looking forward to it.”

Xiao Ling showed a relieved smile on his face, he nodded gently, and said calmly: “Since they all know the limits, we don’t need to worry too much. Speaking of which, I did encounter some unusual things when I was in seclusion at the bottom of the Tianfen Qi Training Tower. When they come back, I will slowly tell you about it.”

He paused slightly, and then said: “However, I have another senior who I want to introduce to you.”

Hearing these words, Qinglin and Xiao Yixian became interested in an instant, and cast their curious eyes on Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and whispered a few words to the snow-white ring on his finger. Then, a ray of light flashed from the ring in his hand.

As the light dissipated, an old man with a round figure but extraordinary temperament appeared in front of Xiao Ling.

This person is the Skyfire Venerable. Although he is only in the form of a soul, his calm temperament and deep eyes still make people dare not underestimate him.

As soon as Venerable Skyfire appeared, he nodded slightly to Xiao Ling, then looked around and said with some emotion; "After so many years, I finally got out of that damn place."

Xiao Ling smiled and responded in a relaxed tone: "Haha, then congratulations to Senior Venerable Skyfire."

Then, he turned his gaze to Xiao Yixian and Qinglin and continued: "This senior is called Yao Tianhuo, and the world calls him Venerable Skyfire. I met him by chance in the underground magma world and took him out of there. By the way, Senior Venerable Skyfire is the previous owner of the Fallen Heart Flame."

As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, Xiao Yixian and Qinglin's eyes flashed with a trace of awe.

In the Douqi Continent, Douzun strongmen are the existence that countless practitioners look up to, and their names often represent a legend.

Looking at each other, the two women bowed to Lord Tianhuo almost at the same time and shouted respectfully: "Junior has met Senior Tianhuo."

However, although the Little Medical Fairy and Qing Lin were surprised by the strength of Lord Tianhuo during his lifetime, the two women quickly adjusted their mentality.

After all, they already have a person like Yao Chen around them, an eighth-grade peak alchemist whose cultivation has reached the peak of Dou Zun, which is enough for them to maintain a peaceful attitude towards other strong people.

Lord Tianhuo nodded slightly, smiled, and accepted the courtesy from the two of them: "No need to be polite, you are all Xiao Ling's partners, that is, my friends."

Then, he looked around, sizing up the little medical fairy and Qing Lin, then smacked his lips and said with a smile: "Little friend Xiao Ling, you are so lucky. Not only are you gifted, but so are your partners. Unparalleled, he can have such cultivation at such a young age.”

"A green snake with three flower eyes and a poisonous body. Such rare physiques can be seen at the same time. It really opened my eyes!"

When the Little Medical Fairy and Qing Lin heard the praise from Lord Tianhuo, they both showed modest smiles on their faces, but did not take up the topic.

They have long been accustomed to this kind of compliments, and it is hard to make waves in their hearts. What's more, there is an even more extraordinary Xiao Ling beside them. In comparison, they feel that their talents are just ordinary.

Lord Tianhuo smiled and said: "Okay, there is no need to be so humble. Although I am only in a state of soul, I feel very honored to be able to communicate with young people like you. Your potential is extraordinary. It only takes time to reach my past cultivation level." It’s just a problem. It’s even possible to surpass me.”

After saying that, his eyes stayed on the little medical fairy for a moment longer. An inexplicable look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up. Except for Xiao Ling, no one else noticed this subtle change.

Turning around, Lord Tianhuo looked at Xiao Ling, "Little friend Xiao Ling, can we proceed now with regard to the method of restoring my soul power? I have been out again and I am a little tired."

Xiao Ling smiled slightly awkwardly. Since leaving Tianfen Qi Training Tower, he had so many chores to do that he actually forgot to help Lord Tianhuo recover his soul power.

"Haha, don't worry, senior, I will immediately refine a pill for you to restore your soul power. By the way, there is another person I want to introduce to you later. I believe you will be able to have a pleasant conversation."
