Chapter 184 Soul Return Pill

As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, a curious light flashed in Lord Tianhuo's eyes. He raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming to be full of interest in the character Xiao Ling was about to introduce.

However, Xiao Ling did not immediately respond to Lord Tianhuo's questioning look. Instead, he turned around and said to the Little Medical Fairy and Qinglin,

"It may take some time to refine the elixir, so you don't have to wait here. You can walk around or deal with some of your own affairs. After solving the things here, I will find you again."

The little medical fairy nodded slightly and responded understandingly: "Okay, Xiao Ling, you can concentrate on refining the elixir, we won't disturb you."

Qing Lin also smiled and added: "Yes, Master Xiao Ling, we can just prepare some refreshments. When you finish refining, we can taste them while listening to you tell about the adventures of this retreat."

Hearing this, Xiao Ling's eyes flashed with anticipation: "Haha, I've been thinking about Qinglin's snacks."

Then, he turned to Lord Tianhuo and said softly: "Senior, please follow me."

After that, Xiao Ling led Lord Tianhuo towards the depths of the courtyard, passed through patches of green bamboo forest, and came to a well-arranged alchemy room.

In the dim medicine refining room, all kinds of medicine refining tools are available, some precious medicinal materials are hung on the wall, and a faint medicinal fragrance fills the air.

In the corner of the room, a man's soul slowly appeared. His body was transparent and slightly illusory, as if it would be blown away by the wind at any time.

Sitting in front of an old wooden table, the pages in his hands shimmered, while his deep eyes stared intently at the words in the book.

The surrounding light seems to pass through his body and cast a faint shadow, making his presence both mysterious and full of picture, like a ghost reader in a quiet and ancient scroll.

Sensing the movement coming from the room, Yao Chen raised his head from the book, turned his attention, and saw Xiao Ling and Yao Tianhuo.

Because Yao Chen was too focused on reading before, he did not release his soul perception to explore the surrounding environment.

In Canaan Academy, several people would basically not encounter danger, so he did not feel the need to release his soul perception at all times to investigate.

"Well, Xiao Ling, it seems that you have successfully integrated the Fallen Heart Flame, and you have gained a lot." Yao Chen smiled gently, with a hint of approval in his eyes, and then he turned his eyes to Lord Tianhuo, frowning slightly He picked it up, revealing a hint of curiosity, "Who is this friend?"

With Yao Chen's sophisticated gaze, he could roughly discern the depth of the soul body next to Xiao Ling with just a casual glance.

Although the aura of the soul body is now extremely weak, it seems that even the average Dou Wang is unable to match it. It is obvious that the soul power has suffered a serious loss.

However, Yao Chen could still sense that even if this person could not reach the peak of Dou Zun during his lifetime, he was by no means an ordinary person. His strength during his lifetime should be about four or five stars of Dou Zun.

A faint but polite smile appeared on Xiao Ling's face. He first turned to Yao Chen and introduced gently: "Yao Lao, this is Senior Yao Tianhuo. Deep in the Tianfen Qi Training Tower, I have the honor to meet with He met by chance. He was a mighty Dou Zun during his lifetime, and he was also the previous host of Fallen Heart Flame."

After briefly introducing Yao Tianhuo's identity, Xiao Ling turned to Yao Tianhuo and said, "Senior Tianhuo, this is Senior Yaochen. During his lifetime, he was not only a strong man at the peak of Douzun, but also an alchemist at the peak of the eighth grade. His guidance and help are indispensable on my journey of practicing the art of refining medicine.”

An imperceptible surprise flashed across Lord Tianhuo's eyes, and he thought to himself: "It's really unexpected that Xiao Ling has such an outstanding former powerhouse beside him, an eighth-level peak alchemist at the peak of Dou Zun. This status is indeed no small matter. "

He did not stop the movement of his hands, but politely raised his hand to Yaochen and said with a smile: "Brother Yaochen, nice to meet you."

Yao Chen responded with a smile and bowed his hands in the same manner: "Brother Tianhuo, please be polite to each other."

During the exchange of greetings, Yao Chen was silently thinking in his heart: "Xiao Ling was able to meet such a soul during this journey deep into the underground. However, this person's true character requires further observation and understanding. "

However, after all, the two of them were in similar situations, and when their eyes met each other, they couldn't help but reveal a trace of sympathy for each other.

Immediately, they started talking quietly to themselves on the side of the alchemy room.

A trace of vicissitudes of life flashed in Lord Tianhuo's eyes, and he sighed: "In this troubled world, surviving as a soul is indeed a difficult experience."

Yao Chen nodded gently, with a faint smile on his face, expressing his deep agreement: "It is indeed true. If it weren't for Xiao Ling's help, my life today would not be so comfortable."

There was a hint of depth in Lord Tianhuo's eyes, and his voice was filled with the precipitation of the years, and he said slowly: "Xiao Ling, this child, has reached the realm of Dou Zong at the age of only seventeen, and his soul power is even more powerful. His future achievements are bound to be Unlimited.”

Yao Chen nodded slightly, and the smile on his face became more gentle: "Yes, Brother Tianhuo, it is indeed remarkable that Xiao Ling can achieve what he has today. His extraordinary talent, coupled with his own hard work, will bring great success in the future." The achievements are limitless.”

Lord Tianhuo smiled slightly and continued: "Haha, of course, little Xiao Ling can achieve such results without the careful guidance and help of Brother Yao, a former strong man."

Hearing this, Yao Chen gently touched his gray beard, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes, but his tone remained modest: "Everywhere, this is all due to Xiao Ling's own talent and hard work. He did his best to grow up.”

However, deep in Yao Chen's heart, he had other thoughts.

He thought silently in his heart that it was a pity that he could not cultivate Xiao Ling properly when he was still weak.

But Yao Chen firmly believes that now with the assistance of his eighth-grade peak alchemist, Xiao Ling's growth will be even more powerful, and he will be able to soar into the sky in the future.

Yao Chen's heart was full of expectations. He knew that his experience and knowledge would add a great touch to Xiao Ling's cultivation path.

And Xiao Ling's character and conduct convinced him that he had definitely not misjudged the person this time.

The two once-all-powerful men now exist in the world as souls. In their dialogue, there are memories of the glorious past and expectations for the future.

In this medicine refining room, surrounded by the fragrance of medicine, the two old men who only had their souls left seemed to have found a resonance. In this silent communication, their souls found some comfort.

Seeing Yao Tianhuo and Yao Chen chatting happily at the side, a faint smile appeared on Xiao Ling's lips.

He did not come forward to disturb, but walked lightly to the center of the alchemy room.

With a casual wave of his hand, a faint light flowed through his fingertips, and a white light flashed through the ring. Immediately, a simple and mysterious medicine cauldron slowly landed on the ground.

The Cauldron of Ten Thousand Beasts is a treasure collected by Han Feng Lao Tie, ranking thirteenth on the list of Heavenly Cauldrons. It is not only a sacred tool for refining medicine, but also has a legendary indissoluble bond with the Ten Thousand Beasts.

The body of the cauldron is made of an unknown rare metal, and the surface is engraved with lifelike totems of beasts. Each animal statue seems to contain the power of life and is ready to break out of the cauldron at any time.

On top of the cauldron lid, there is a bright spiritual stone inlaid, emitting a faint light, adding a bit of mystery to the entire alchemy room.

At the foot of the tripod, four animal heads are carved, namely the green dragon, the white tiger, the red bird, and the Xuanwu. They are guarded by the four elephants, symbolizing the power of the four directions of heaven and earth.

Whenever medicine is being made, these four animal heads seem to be able to summon the power of the four directions, adding a mysterious power to the process of making medicine.

Since he obtained the Cauldron of Ten Thousand Beasts, Xiao Ling returned Yao Chen's Black Devil Cauldron to him.

After all, the Black Devil Cauldron has been with Yao Chen for many years, and now that Xiao Ling himself has a medicine cauldron that ranks among the heavenly cauldrons for use, it is only reasonable to return the Black Devil Cauldron.

As the Cauldron of Ten Thousand Beasts slowly descended, Xiao Ling's expression became focused.

He took out carefully selected medicinal herbs from the Najie and placed them gently in the corner of the medicine refining room.

There are many kinds of medicinal materials, and each one exudes a faint aura. It is obvious that they are all high-quality materials that have been strictly screened.

Xiao Ling took a deep breath and waved his hands gently, awakening the sleeping strange fire in his body. Sapphire blue flames poured out from his palms and poured into the medicine cauldron through the fire inlet on the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron.

The flame shone brightly, like a pearl in the deep sea, exuding a soft and mysterious light. The surrounding air seemed to be affected by this power, creating layers of invisible ripples.

Xiao Ling put the medicinal herbs into the medicine cauldron one by one, and then concentrated on controlling the strange fire. The sapphire blue flames jumped in the beast cauldron, like agile elves dancing happily.

Under the fierce roasting of strange fire, the medicinal materials slowly release their essence. Xiao Ling carefully extracted every drop of precious essence, and the tiny bits of pure energy rose slowly, intertwined, and gradually condensed into a bright brilliance.

In the end, Xiao Ling cleverly gathered the essence of these medicinal materials into the heart of the tripod.

As time went by, the essence of the medicinal materials began to fuse under the catalysis of the soul, and gradually formed the prototypes of pills. These young pills rotate slowly under the warmth of the flames, exuding a charming luster, as if they contain infinite vitality.

Xiao Ling's face was as calm as ever. Although the movements in his hands were casual, they were very harmonious, and his eyes were always firm and focused.

He fine-tuned the temperature of the flame and carefully raised the young pill to ensure that every ounce of energy could be evenly integrated and every flaw could be perfectly repaired.

Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo watched quietly from the side, their eyes revealing their admiration and expectation for Xiao Ling.

The two souls would talk softly from time to time, always with a slight smile on their faces.

After half a day, finally, after countless times of condensation and warming, the young pill in the Cauldron of Ten Thousand Beasts gradually became more and more rounded.

I saw a round, plump, green, crystal clear elixir like emerald suspended in the Cauldron of Ten Thousand Beasts. There is also a layer of vague mist lingering on the surface of the elixir, as if it is the spirit of a fairy, which makes people salivate.

These elixirs are called "Soul Return to Yuan Dan", which is a sixth-grade elixir carefully developed by Xiao Ling based on various elixir recipes and his own experience in refining medicine.

Their effect is very special, they can significantly restore soul power, and have an excellent repair effect on damaged souls.

After taking it, the soul power will gush out like spring water, nourishing the practitioner's soul and rejuvenating it.

Although the "Soul Returning Pill" is only a sixth-grade elixir, for special people, its effect is no less than that of an ordinary seventh-grade elixir.

Whenever a cultivator's soul is damaged or his soul power is exhausted, he can quickly recover with just one "Soul Return Pill", as if his soul has been reborn.

Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief, with a satisfied smile on his face. He reached out and made a move, and the "Soul Returning Pill" fell into his hand.

Xiao Ling turned around, his eyes flowing between Yaochen and Lord Tianhuo. There was a hint of gentle confidence in his voice, and he said: "Senior Tianhuo, the elixir has been successfully refined. This 'Soul Returning Pill', I I believe it will be beneficial to your soul recovery.”

Xiao Ling flicked his fingers, and the "Soul Returning Pill" emitting green light floated towards Lord Tianhuo. Venerable Tianhuo carefully picked up the elixir in his palm as if he had found a treasure, his eyes full of eagerness.

"Haha, little friend Xiao Ling, I, Tianhuo, will remember this kindness in my heart." Lord Tianhuo said in a deep voice, his tone full of sincerity.

Xiao Ling waved his hand with a smile and said: "Senior Tianhuo, you're welcome. This is what I promised. After you recover your soul power, you can better teach me the "Five Wheels of Fire"."

Yao Chen, who was standing aside, also spoke at this time, with a hint of approval in his tone: "Xiao Ling, it seems that after this retreat, not only did you have a breakthrough in fighting spirit, but you also gained a lot of insights into the art of refining medicine."

Xiao Ling smiled and responded humbly: "Yao Lao is too generous. I just keep learning and practicing."

Yaochen nodded and continued: "Now that your Douzong cultivation has been stable, your medicine refining skills have also improved. I believe that with your current fighting spirit and soul power, refining seventh-grade elixirs is basically no problem. . As long as it settles for a while, you can start learning the knowledge of eighth-grade elixirs.”

When Xiao Ling heard this, an uncontrollable heat surged in his heart.

The eighth-level alchemist is the highest realm that countless alchemists in Dou Qi Continent dream of.

Now that my soul power has already reached the standard of this level, what I lack now is just the training and experience accumulation in practice.

However, he quickly suppressed this eagerness in his heart and calmed down his mind.

Xiao Ling knows very well that improving the art of alchemy is not something that can be achieved in a day. It takes time to continuously hone and accumulate before you can achieve anything.

Just like the famous saying in the previous life, "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." What you need is not only talent and hard work, but also patience and persistence.
