Chapter 219 News From Yunshan
Just then, the door of the reception room slowly opened from the outside to the inside, and a slender figure walked into the room calmly. The person who came was Xiao Ling.
As Xiao Ling entered the room, it seemed to bring a strong aroma of elixir, which made the atmosphere of the entire reception room lively.
When Mu Tie and Mu Chen saw Xiao Ling coming, they immediately stood up from their seats with warm smiles on their faces.
Before Xiao Ling sat down, Mu Tie took the lead and said: "Master Xiao Ling, thank you for your hard work! It seems that you have completed the refining of Douling Pills. That's great, haha."
Xiao Ling nodded slightly and responded with a smile: "You two don't need to be polite. Refining elixirs is my job. How can it be hard?"
His voice was calm and confident, revealing a calm and unhurried master style.
Hearing that his elixir had been refined, Mu Tie could not hold back his excitement and asked anxiously: "Master Xiao Ling, has the Dou Ling Pill been refined successfully? I have been looking forward to that Dou Ling Pill for a long time."
Seeing Mu Tie's somewhat anxious expression, Xiao Ling nodded gently and took out an exquisite jade bottle from his sleeve. The luster of the elixir could be vaguely seen in the jade bottle.
Then, he handed the jade bottle to Mu Tie and said: "Commander Mu Tie, this is the fifth-grade Dou Ling Pill you need. I have refined it according to the agreement. Please check it."
Mu Tie took the jade bottle, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He could feel the powerful energy contained in the jade bottle.
He took a deep breath and said gratefully: "Master Xiao Ling's alchemy skills are indeed well-deserved. We, the Mu family, will remember this kindness in our hearts."
Mu Chen also stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: "Master Xiao Ling, your great kindness will never be forgotten by our Mu family. If there is any need in the future, our Mu family will definitely go all out."
Xiao Ling waved his hand and smiled: "You two are too polite. I just do my best to provide some help to all my friends. Asking me to refine pills is a process of mutual achievement."
Since the first time Xiao Ling returned to the Jia Ma Empire, he has established a good relationship with Mu Tie. This initial contact gradually developed into a deep friendship between the two families, and a bridge of communication and cooperation was built between the Mu family and Xiao Ling.
As time went on, this relationship became stronger on the basis of mutual respect and mutual benefit, bringing long-term benefits and prosperity to both parties.
Since the establishment of a cooperative relationship with the Xiao family, every time Xiao Ling returned to the Jia Ma Empire, if he was free, he would also help the Mu family refine some pills.
When Xiao Ling returned to the Jia Ma Empire for the first time, he carefully refined a fifth-grade Dou Ling Dan for the Mu family.
Thanks to the help of this elixir, the strength of Mu Chen, the head of the Mu family, broke through from Dou Wang four stars to Dou Wang five stars.
The strength of the family has also been steadily increasing, and compared with the Nalan family of the same status in the past, it has significantly opened up the gap.
Three years have passed, and the cooperation between the two families is like a long-lasting stream. Not only do they have exchanges in business and trade, but they also help each other in the exchange of cultivation resources.
The reputation and influence of the Mu family are also rising in the empire, becoming the focus of everyone's attention.
After the three people sat down, the atmosphere in the reception room became more relaxed and pleasant.
The three chatted for a few more sentences. At this time, Mu Tie asked Xiao Ling with a hint of curiosity: "Master Xiao Ling, I heard that you will leave the Jia Ma Empire in three days. Is this true?"
Mu Chen on the side also cast an expectant look. Obviously, they are quite concerned about this news.
Xiao Ling felt the curious and expectant eyes of the two people. He touched his chin and replied with a smile: "Yes, I plan to leave the Gama Empire in three days. I have stayed here for a long time. It's time to deal with some personal affairs."
It has been four days since the end of the Alchemist Conference. There are only three days left before Xiao Ling's plan to leave the Gama Empire in a week.
In the four days, Xiao Ling spent most of his time helping those who asked him to refine pills. Most of them asked for fifth-grade pills, a small number of sixth-grade pills, and most of them were for improving their cultivation.
After all, in the case of uncertainty about when the war will break out, everyone hopes to strengthen their own strength and ensure that they have enough self-protection power.
Hearing Xiao Ling's clear answer, Mu Tie and Mu Chen were a little unsure. Although the top leaders of the Gama Empire have never asked Xiao Ling to stay, deep down, the top leaders of the Gama Empire do hope that this master of alchemy can continue to stay in the Gama Empire.
However, Xiao Ling's contribution to the Gama Empire is well known to everyone, and his efforts and dedication have won the respect of the empire.
Faced with such a master of alchemy, the Mu family and even the entire empire really do not have enough reasons or more benefits to persuade Xiao Ling to stay. After all, with his wealth and status, ordinary temptations are difficult for him to see.
At this time, Mu Chen spoke softly, breaking the silence for a moment: "Master Xiao Ling, I have a recent news that may arouse your interest."
Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a trace of curiosity: "Patriarch Mu, please speak directly, what is it?"
Mu Chen did not beat around the bush and said frankly: "I just returned from the Gama Palace after handling affairs. I learned that Yunshan, the old leader of Yunlan Sect, has come out of retreat and met Jia Lao once. It seems that some agreement has been reached."
Xiao Ling stroked his chin and said thoughtfully: "The old leader of Yunlan Sect has returned to the arena. I have heard some facts about him before. I don't know if I will have the chance to meet him before leaving Jiama Empire."
Mu Chen laughed loudly: "Haha, if nothing unexpected happens, the old ancestor of Yunlan Sect is likely to invite Master Xiao Ling to refine a Breaking Sect Pill. At that time, there will naturally be a chance to meet."
After a slight pause, Mu Chen continued to add: "According to the recent news from the Mu family, Yunlan Sect is already trying its best to collect the materials needed to refine the Breaking Sect Pill. A precious medicinal material hidden in our family was also bought by Yunlan Sect at a high price."
"I guess Yunlan Sect wants to ask you to help refine a Breaking Sect Pill before Master Xiao Ling leaves Jiama Empire, and give it to the old leader of Yunlan Sect to help him break through the Dou Zong realm."
Mu Tie was also "I've heard about this, too. It's said that in order to exchange a cold marrow branch from the Jiama royal family, the Yunlan Sect paid two sixth-grade pills made by the Dan King Gu He in exchange."
"The royal family once gathered the whole country to collect the medicinal materials needed for the refining of the broken sect pill. The Mitel family also went to great lengths to collect them so that their great elder could refine this pill. Now, if it's the Yunlan Sect that's going to collect them, you can imagine how difficult it will be. I really don't know if they can collect all the materials before Master Xiao Ling leaves the Jiama Empire. However, the Yunlan Sect is deeply rooted after all, and the accumulation of thousands of years is not trivial. It is expected that they should be able to gather them together by piecing together."
Xiao Ling has been busy refining pills and rarely stepped out of his courtyard. He doesn't know much about the various dynamics of the outside world in recent days.
He smiled lightly, waved his hand, and said calmly: "Who can predict the outcome of these things?"
Mu Tie and Mu Chen nodded and did not continue the topic.
Mu Chen's eyes inadvertently swept over Mu Tie who was standing beside him, and saw that he was a little anxious, and was obviously concerned about the Douling Pill he had just obtained.
Mu Chen was very insightful about this situation, and he understood clearly in his heart that Mu Tie's mentality was very similar to his own state of mind when he first obtained the Douling Pill three years ago.
Xiao Ling naturally noticed Mu Tie's reaction, and smiled softly, with a hint of playfulness in his tone: "Commander Mu Tie, it seems that you can't wait to try the miraculous effect of the Dou Ling Pill."
Mu Tie was hit on the heart, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, then he smiled heartily and frankly admitted: "Master Xiao Ling is right, I am indeed a little anxious, after all, this pill means a lot to me."
Mu Chen also chuckled and agreed: "Master, please forgive me, Brother Tie's eagerness is also human nature."
Xiao Ling nodded, expressing his understanding: "I naturally understand that the value of the Dou Ling Pill for practitioners is self-evident. If there is nothing else, please go back. I am also busy with my affairs, so I won't keep you two any longer."
Mu Tie and Mu Chen looked at each other, arched their hands to Xiao Ling, and said, "Haha, then I won't continue to disturb Master Xiao Ling's time."
The two thanked Xiao Ling again, then said goodbye, walked out of the reception room, and set off on their way home.
After Mu Tie and Mu Chen left, Xiao Ling was the only one left in the reception room.
He stroked his chin and thought to himself that since Yun Lan Zong started to collect medicinal materials for refining Po Zong Dan, they must have heard the news from Jia Xingtian and negotiated with him. They learned that they could ask him to refine Po Zong Dan.
After all, Yun Lan Zong and Xiao Family had a bad relationship because of Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan's broken engagement. Yun Lan Zong also knew that Xiao Family would not help Yun Lan Zong refine Po Zong Dan.
But now that Xiao Ling has spoken, Yun Lan Zong may take this opportunity to ask Xiao Ling to help refine a Po Zong Dan.
Moreover, the Po Zong Dan collected by Yun Lan Zong was almost 100% prepared for Yun Shan.
After all, Yun Yun, the current leader of Yun Lan Zong, has not yet reached the peak of Dou Huang, and she cannot use Po Zong Dan even if she gets it.
From this, it can be inferred that since the departure of the guardian Wu, Yunshan may not have continued to have any contact with the Soul Palace.
However, Xiao Ling still does not know what the actual situation is, and everything is still unknown.
If Yunshan can abide by the law and just be satisfied with being his powerful old master in the Yunlan Sect, then everything will be fine.
But if Yunshan really colluded with the Soul Palace, or had other ill intentions, Xiao Ling would not hesitate, and he could take action at any time to completely resolve the potential threat.
However, these are still distant things.
Xiao Ling put aside the disturbing thoughts in his mind, then slowly got up and left the reception room.
Xiao Ling, who returned to the courtyard, was infected by the quiet scene in front of him. Zi Yan and Medusa, the two beauties who had just returned from the snake tribe, were sitting in the courtyard, enjoying a leisurely afternoon. Zi Yan's lively figure and Medusa's cold temperament formed a unique landscape.
In the pavilion, Zi Yan and Medusa were leisurely drinking tea and chatting about their experiences.
Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian had already entered the practice room for their own practice, so they were not seen.
Seeing Xiao Ling enter the courtyard, Zi Yan waved happily, with a lively smile on her face, and greeted him.
Medusa also nodded slightly. Although her expression still maintained that unique coldness, the strangeness in her eyes was no longer there.
Xiao Ling walked over to them, rubbed Zi Yan's long, smooth purple hair, and said in a joking tone: "You girl, you are inseparable from your sister Medusa every day. What are you going to do after we leave the Gama Empire?"
After hearing this, Zi Yan frowned slightly, struggled for a moment, and finally answered seriously: "Then I will accompany sister Medusa for the next three days. When we leave the Gama Empire, I will of course go with you."
Hearing Zi Yan's answer, Xiao Ling showed a satisfied smile. It seems that in Zi Yan's heart, he always occupies an important position.
Medusa snorted lightly, with a hint of ridicule: "It seems that the medicinal materials I gave you these days are in vain. At the critical moment, your brother Xiao Ling is the most important."
Zi Yan stuck out her tongue playfully and responded: "Oh, sister Medusa, I will still come back to see you often."
Looking at Zi Yan's lovely appearance, Medusa couldn't help but reveal a faint smile on her face: "Okay, then I won't bother with you."
Medusa was not actually unhappy about this. She knew in her heart that her acquaintance with Zi Yan was not as long as that with Xiao Ling, and her position in Zi Yan's heart was naturally not comparable to Xiao Ling.
As the queen of the snake people, after years of precipitation, her state of mind has long been unshaken by these trivial matters.
Witnessing the intimate interaction between Zi Yan and Medusa, Xiao Ling quietly had a new idea in his heart.
Thinking secretly in his heart, if he could use the secret method to make Medusa transform into the legendary Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, and then awaken another soul in her body, then Xiao Ling would have a great chance to abduct her.
And if it really could develop as he thought, then it would not be a hardship for Zi Yan to accompany Medusa for a long time.
However, Xiao Ling also knew that he could not speak out such things first, and he had to wait for Medusa to realize this and take the initiative to seek his help.
Through some of the content that Zi Yan had shared before, she and Medusa had communicated, Xiao Ling could also see that Medusa did have some expectations for the secret recipe that could stimulate the potential of bloodline reversion.
Xiao Ling had a hunch that once the time was right, Medusa would definitely take the initiative to seek the help of the strange fire that he controlled to perform the secret method of bloodline evolution in order to pursue a higher level of evolution.
