Chapter 223 Qinglin and Xiaoyixian's Cultivation Progress

Under Xiao Ling's careful perception, he found that Qing Lin's cultivation had reached Dou Wang four stars. Although such a speed of improvement is amazing in the eyes of ordinary people, considering Qing Lin's talent of the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils, plus the rare elixir resources provided by Xiao Ling, such progress is within his expectations.

However, Xiao Ling was surprised by Xiao Yixian's progress. Not long ago, he helped her seal the poison in her body. After she absorbed the poisonous gas, her cultivation jumped to Dou Huang five stars. However, after only a short period of time, Xiao Yixian has leaped to the realm of eight-star Dou Huang.

Such a speed of improvement in cultivation made Xiao Ling a little amazed. It is indeed a special physique, and it is really so terrifying.

Xiao Yixian noticed the surprise on Xiao Ling's face. She smiled lightly and said with a hint of playfulness: "Hehe, have you noticed the change in my cultivation?"

"I am really surprised," Xiao Ling smiled back, "Your progress is incredible."

Xiao Yixian's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, and she continued to explain: "The poisons you gave me before are not ordinary poisons. According to the formula in the "Heavenly Poison Codex", they even have the power to kill ordinary Dou Zong. I took some special poisons, which is why my cultivation can be improved so quickly."

Xiao Ling nodded slightly. Although he had expected that Xiao Yixian's cultivation would improve since she inherited Xieyun's legacy. However, the remarkable effect was beyond his expectation.

He stroked his chin and thought to himself: "A Dou Huang of the Wanxie Sect has such a rich resource of poisons. If the entire Wanxie Sect can be wiped out, it will definitely be able to harvest a rich supply of precious poisons. This will undoubtedly bring great benefits to Xiao Yixian's cultivation path."

Thinking of this, Xiao Ling's desire to get rid of the Wanxie Sect became more and more profound.

Xiao Ling put away his thoughts and said to Xiao Yixian seriously: "Swallowing poison is not a joke. Be careful. If you feel uncomfortable, remember to stop immediately."

Then, he continued to ask with a concerned tone: "Since the poison gas in your body was sealed, have you ever felt the poison gas out of control when you practiced?"

Xiao Yixian heard Xiao Ling's concern, and a touch of warmth flashed in her eyes. She knew that Xiao Ling cared more about her physical health than the improvement of her cultivation.

She gently brushed the silver hair behind her ears and replied softly: "Since the poison gas was sealed, it has become much easier for me to practice. The poison gas is no longer running around, and I should be able to completely control it."

The worry in Xiao Ling's heart dissipated. Although he did have some specific purposes when he first made friends with Xiao Yixian, Qinglin and others, as time went by, the warm daily life they experienced together made Xiao Ling regard them as family.

Those original intentions have now become blurred in his heart, replaced by deep emotions and mutual companionship.

Qinglin stood quietly aside, watching the warm conversation between Xiao Yixian and Xiao Ling with soft eyes, and a trace of envy flashed in her eyes.

As if he had noticed Qinglin's gaze, Xiao Ling turned his head and his eyes fell on Qinglin. He stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Qinglin's hair, with praise in his tone: "Qinglin, your cultivation has improved a lot during this period. I believe you must have worked very hard."

Qinglin lowered her head shyly, with a faint blush on her face. She replied softly: "The pills refined by the young master also helped a lot. Without them, I would not have been able to improve my cultivation so quickly."

At this time, Zi Yan walked lightly to Xiao Ling's side, her small lips pouted slightly, and said with a playful look: "Xiao Ling, do you still remember me and Mei Sister Dusha's promise? I'm going to the snake tribe to find her now, I can't break my promise. "

Xiao Ling raised his head, his eyes showed a hint of pampering, he nodded, and responded seriously: "Of course, you go, but remember our promise, we must see you before we leave."

Zi Yan patted her flat chest confidently, and said in a crisp voice: "Don't worry, I am Miss Zi Yan who is punctual, and I will never let you wait for me."

Her big watery eyes flashed with expectation, looking straight at Xiao Ling, making Xiao Ling couldn't help showing a helpless and pampering smile.

Xiao Ling shook his head gently, took out a delicate porcelain bottle from the ring, stuffed it into Zi Yan's hand, and pretended to be angry and said: "You little greedy cat, you always have not enough to eat, don't be greedy again this time."

Zi Yan looked at the porcelain bottle in her hand, which was full of delicious pills carefully prepared by Xiao Ling. Her face bloomed with a brighter smile, and she said happily: "Xiao Ling, you are so thoughtful, I know you understand me the best!"

After carefully putting those bottles and jars into the ring, Zi Yan jumped lightly, like a naughty She hugged Xiao Ling's arm like a naughty little deer, kissed him gently on the cheek, and then spread a pair of purple fighting wings behind her, flew into the air, and said to Xiao Ling playfully: "This is the reward I give you."

Xiao Ling gently brushed his cheek, wiping away the wet traces left by Zi Yan, and said in a tone of pretending to be disgusted: "Haha, you are such a naughty ghost."

Zi Yan did not joke with Xiao Ling anymore, she turned around and waved in the direction of Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin, with a bright smile on her face.

"Okay, I'll be off now. Xian'er, Qinglin, we'll see each other soon." Zi Yan's words were full of expectation and vitality. She waved her hands and flapped the Dou Qi wings behind her lightly, slowly rising into the air.

After reaching a certain height, Zi Yan's figure turned suddenly, and the purple Dou Qi wings, driven by her power, shook vigorously, and the speed increased instantly. She turned into a purple lightning, cutting through the sky, so fast that it was difficult to catch her figure.

As the purple afterimage gradually faded away, Zi Yan's figure finally disappeared from the sight of Xiao Ling and the other two, leaving only her cheerful laughter, which seemed to still echo in the ears of the three.

Xiao Ling looked at the disappearing purple afterimage, smiled helplessly, and said: "At such an old age, Zi Yan still has such a childish personality."

The little medical fairy on the side heard this, and a glimmer of teasing flashed in her eyes. She teased: "Isn't this kind of personality more likable? I think you like it very much.".

Xiao Ling naturally heard the joke hidden in Xiao Yixian's words. A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face. He coughed twice and cleverly avoided the topic. He turned to look into the distance, as if thinking about something, or admiring the tranquility left after Zi Yan left.

Seeing this, Xiao Yixian raised the corners of her mouth slightly. She did not continue to tease Xiao Ling. She felt very comfortable that Xiao Ling could be defeated in such a matter.

At this time, a glimmer flashed in Qinglin's eyes, as if he remembered something important. She turned her eyes to Xiao Ling, and her voice was soft and tender, saying to Xiao Ling: "Master, Master told me before that he had something to tell you."

Hearing this, Xiao Ling cast a curious and expectant look at Qing Lin, and asked: "Dragon Master is looking for me? Qing Lin, do you know what it is?"

Qing Lin shook his head gently, and answered in an ethereal voice: "Master did not reveal the specific details to me, but from his expression, he seemed to be in a very happy mood. I think, maybe there is some good news to share with you."

Qing Lin's words were like a breeze passing over the lake, stirring up ripples in Xiao Ling's heart. His interest was aroused, and his eyes flashed with a light of inquiry. Then he said to Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin: "Since Dragon Master has something to ask me, I will go to see him first."

There was a hint of expectation in his tone, and before the voice completely fell, Xiao Ling's figure had already moved, walking towards where Dragon Master was at a leisurely pace.

…

Walking through the trees in the courtyard that swayed in the wind, Xiao Ling walked steadily across the bluestone floor, making a slight echo. The sun shone through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows, swaying with his movement.

He walked along the winding path, with green grass and flowers on both sides of the path. Occasionally, a few colorful butterflies danced, adding a bit of vitality and agility. With his steps, the outline of the courtyard gradually became clear, as if he had traveled through time and space and came to a paradise.

Soon, Xiao Ling came to two adjacent courtyards. The buildings here were antique and revealed a sense of calmness and tranquility. The courtyards were separated by a low stone wall, and the wall was covered with green vines, adding a bit of vitality to this quaint environment.

The gate of the courtyard was carved from precious mahogany, and the copper ring on the door flashed a soft light under the sunlight.

These two quiet courtyards are the residences that Xiao Ling carefully built for Yao Chen and Tianhuo Zun in the Xiao family.

Qinglin, as a gentle girl, naturally has her own private space. When traveling outside, she may bring Yao Chen with her, but in her room, she will naturally not bring Yao Chen with her to maintain her privacy and peace.

Although Xiao Ling does not mind these two old men, as a vibrant young man, he sometimes needs to communicate and exchange with Xiao Yixian on cultivation. In order to avoid unnecessary embarrassment at these times, the presence of the two people seems a little inappropriate for Xiao Ling's private space.

Therefore, even if the stay in the Jiama Empire will not be too long, Xiao Ling still specially built two independent courtyards for Yao Chen and Tianhuo Zun.

In order to ensure that their tranquility is not broken by the disturbances of the outside world, Xiao Ling deliberately chose a quiet place deep in his family courtyard, but therefore, the area of ​​the two courtyards is not very large. Not only is it far away from the hustle and bustle, but some special instruments are also arranged to isolate the outside world from detection and interference.

Moreover, Xiao Ling specially invited the royal craftsmen to personally design and build the house to cater to the tastes of the two elderly men.

However, the royal craftsmen were indeed amazing. They decorated the courtyard with antique style. Every brick, tile, wood and stone revealed a retro charm after years of precipitation.

Xiao Ling cast his eyes on the two courtyards. He noticed that in the courtyard on the right, the soul of the Skyfire Venerable was lightly floating above the open space of the courtyard.

His hands danced flexibly, as if weaving invisible magic. Under his exquisite control, the five beast fires of different colors seemed to have life. They kept changing their shapes in his palms, like a colorful dance of flames.

The movements of the Skyfire Venerable were full of rhythm and harmony. Every change of gesture seemed so natural and smooth that people could not help but admire it. Under his command, the beast fire was sometimes like a docile pet and sometimes like a wild beast, showing the variability and mystery of fire.

When Venerable Skyfire was alive, he was well-known for his mastery of fire control. The Five-Wheel Fire Separation Method he created was powerful enough to rival the Heaven-level fighting skills, and his control and use of fire naturally reached the realm of perfection.

However, as time passed, the beast fires he had subdued during his lifetime had dissipated, and the Fallen Heart Flame that once belonged to him had now been refined by Xiao Ling.

Therefore, since leaving the underground magma world, Venerable Skyfire began to collect beast fires again to facilitate his better use of the Five-Wheel Fire Separation Method.

In front of him, five beast fires floated quietly, four of which were level six, and only one was level five. The blue beast fire that looked like water waves was the beast fire of the Dark Sea Jiao Beast, the guardian beast of the Jiama royal family, the dry blue water flame. It was what Xiao Ling had asked the royal family for before.

Venerable Skyfire felt Xiao Ling approaching during his practice. He stopped his movements, turned his gaze to Xiao Ling, and a kind smile appeared on his face.

Xiao Ling smiled back, nodded, and greeted the Skyfire Venerable. Then, he gently pointed his finger at the courtyard where Yao Chen was, indicating that he was here to discuss something with Yao Chen.

Seeing this, the Skyfire Venerable's eyes flashed with disappointment. He originally thought that Xiao Ling came to learn the Five-wheel Fire Separation Method from him. This fighting skill is extremely powerful. The Skyfire Venerable has been collecting various beast fires, hoping to teach Xiao Ling the essence and experience of this skill.

However, since Xiao Ling came to find Yao Chen, the Skyfire Venerable did not say much, and continued to focus on the fire in his hand. Since he currently has no physical body, the performance of the Five-wheel Fire Separation Method seems a little unfamiliar. He needs to regain the feeling of controlling the fire freely through continuous practice.

When he arrived in front of another courtyard, Xiao Ling gently pushed open the gate and stepped into the courtyard where Yao Lao was. It was arranged like a small medicine garden, and various rare medicinal materials grew lushly under the careful cultivation of Yao Lao. The fragrance of medicine was overflowing, which made people feel refreshed.

He walked along the stone path, bypassed several small medicinal fields, and finally arrived at Yao Lao's residence. It was a simple wooden house with a few bamboo chairs and a small table in front of it. Some medicinal herbs and books were scattered on the table, which looked peaceful and elegant.
