Chapter 230: First Meeting with Yun Yun

Yun Yun gently brushed away a strand of black hair from her cheek and carefully tucked it behind her ear. She whispered to herself, with a hint of hope: "I hope that Master Xiao Ling is as gentle and amiable as the rumors say."

Just when Yun Yun was deeply involved in the turbulent thoughts in her heart, the door of the living room was slowly pushed open, breaking the tranquility in the room.

Yun Yun, who was originally thinking about how to start a conversation with Xiao Ling, came back from her thoughts and quickly turned her attention to the door.

The first thing that caught Yun Yun's eyes was a middle-aged man wearing the Xiao family's iconic costume. She vaguely remembered that this man was a guard she had met when she first arrived at the Xiao family today.

As the door opened, the middle-aged man gracefully made a gesture to invite in, and then silently stepped aside, like a shadow, blending silently into the background.

Then, a young man with blue hair slowly walked into Yun Yun's sight. He has a handsome figure, a calm pace, and an indescribable temperament, as if he is born with the charm to attract the attention of others.

His figure is tall and tall, wearing a sky-blue robe, the hem of which is delicately inlaid with golden silk threads, shining with a luxurious and unobtrusive light in the dim light. The robe fit his figure perfectly, exuding an elegant and calm temperament.

The hair that was spread over his shoulders was as deep as the blue of the sea, with a faint luster that complemented his blue-gold eyes. Those eyes are deep and bright, as if they contain the secrets of the stars, and every flicker exudes irresistible charm.

He has a handsome face, delicate facial features that seem to have been carefully carved, and fair skin, revealing an unearthly coolness. There was a gentle smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, which looked friendly yet fierce.

When the young man's figure came into view, Yun Yun recognized his identity at a glance. It was Xiao Ling, who was praised countless times by the outside world and was hailed as a peerless genius.

Even Yun Yun, the sect leader who had never favored any man for decades, couldn't help but admire softly in her heart at this moment: "This Xiao Ling is really as handsome as the outside world said, and he can be called a peerless elegance."

Her eyes lingered on Xiao Ling, and she was shocked by the detached temperament, the calm smile, and the blue-gold eyes that seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.

At this moment, subtle ripples quietly rippled deep in Yun Yun's heart. However, her many years of experience as the head of the Yunlan Sect made her have a calm personality. She quickly calmed down her mood, and her face returned to its usual calmness and calmness.

After Xiao Ling stepped into the spacious reception hall, Payne quietly exited the hall and gently closed the carved wooden door, blocking out the hustle and bustle of the outside world, leaving only silence.

As soon as he stepped into the reception hall, Xiao Ling's eyes were quickly attracted by one of the graceful figures. His eyes turned there involuntarily, staring at the sitting woman.

There is a thin belt of the same color gently tied around the waist. The silver metal buckle on the belt is shaped like a blooming flower and shines with a luxurious luster. The hem of the skirt followed her slightly. She wore an exquisite light blue dress. The fabric was soft and elegant, embroidered with delicate silver silk floral patterns, and the edges of the petals shone with shimmer. The V-shaped neckline design elegantly exposes a small area of ​​smooth skin, while the loose sleeves are tightened at the cuffs and decorated with lace that echoes the skirt, adding a bit of agility. The movement gently brushes the ankle, vaguely revealing the light blue gem decoration on the simple high-heeled shoes, which complements the overall outfit.

Her waist-length hair is like a deep black waterfall, draped smoothly and naturally over her shoulders. The ends of her hair are slightly curled. She wears a wreath woven of fresh green leaves and lavender flowers, which perfectly blends with her outfit and adds a natural touch. beauty.

Those eyes were as deep as the morning sky, clear and bright. The face is well-defined, the chin line is soft, and the cheekbones are slightly raised, revealing a gentle and firm temperament. Under the slender eyebrows, there is a pair of eyebrows that reveal intelligence. The bridge of the nose is straight and the tip of the nose is slightly upturned, with a hint of softness that is not easy to detect.

The lips are painted with light pink lipstick, and the lips are plump and smooth. The most eye-catching thing is the green drop-shaped headdress on her forehead, which is composed of countless small and delicate green gems arranged to form a streamlined design. The larger gems inlaid on the top undoubtedly increase its conspicuity, and the overall look is... It gives her a sense of nobility and sophistication, which perfectly sets off her elegant temperament.

His gaze lingered on Yun Yun for a moment, and Xiao Ling couldn't help but admire in his heart that the leader of the Yunlan Sect was indeed as gorgeous as the rumors said. He used beautiful adjectives such as picturesque features and ice-cold muscles to describe the person in front of him. Yun Yun is no exaggeration, and she has a graceful and luxurious temperament about her, which adds a bit of elegance to her.

Soon Xiao Ling withdrew his gaze, feeling calm in his heart. After all, he has seen countless beauties and has long been unmoved by appearance.

Before Xiao Ling could speak, Yun Yun had already stood up lightly, with a gentle and sincere smile on her face, and said softly: "Master Xiao Ling, when I saw you today, you are indeed as magnanimous as the rumors say, Yun Yun is uninvited. I have no choice but to come here. If there is any rudeness, I hope that the situation is urgent and I hope you can understand me."

When Xiao Ling heard Yun Yun greeting him so politely, Xiao Ling did not put on any airs, but responded with an indifferent and gentle smile, and said in a calm tone: "Haha, Sect Master Yun's words are too strong. I saw him today, he is really heroic and can be called a hero among women. As for the matters discussed, we might as well put them aside for the time being. Let’s have tea first and talk about it in detail later.”

Seeing that Xiao Ling's attitude was quite kind, and there was no trace of impatience on his face, Yun Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to herself: "This Xiao Ling is indeed as rumored, and he is not an ordinary genius. If you think so highly of yourself, maybe your next plan won’t be as difficult as you thought.”

Immediately afterwards, Yun Yun opened her red lips and responded in a soft voice: "Since Master Xiao Ling suggested this, then I will just follow your words."

Afterwards, the two sat opposite each other in the living room. Xiao Ling waved his hand gently, and the maid quietly stepped forward and poured tea for them. The aroma of tea lingers, and the atmosphere is peaceful and harmonious, creating a relaxing start for the following conversation.

Xiao Ling took a sip of the fragrant tea, and then placed the tea cup gently on the table. With a hint of unquestionable determination in his voice, he said straight to the point: "Master Yunyun, you came to the humble residence today and came to see me. You must be If you have anything to discuss, just say it directly. I’m about to leave the Jia Ma Empire, and time is precious.”

Yun Yun originally planned to have a few casual conversations with Xiao Ling in order to shorten the distance between them. However, Xiao Ling's direct question made her realize that the situation was urgent and there was no room for beating around the bush.

So, she smiled softly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone, but also seemed frank and sincere: "Since Master Xiao Ling said it so bluntly, I won't beat around the bush anymore. This time, the Yunlan Sect does have something to ask for. We are here. I hope Master Xiao Ling can help us refine two precious sixth-grade peak elixirs, one is the Emperor's Pill and the other is the Poison Pill."

As soon as Yun Yun finished speaking, she saw her gently raising her delicate hands. Following her movements, rows of neatly arranged rare medicinal materials suddenly appeared on the table.

As soon as these medicinal materials appeared, they released a rich aroma that instantly filled the entire room, as if the air in the room was dyed with a light medicinal fragrance, which was refreshing.

Xiao Ling's eyes swept over the medicinal materials. His perception was as delicate and sharp as running water, and every detail of the medicinal materials was clearly reflected in his mind.

The medicinal materials displayed by Yun Yun were obviously carefully prepared. They were divided into three parts for refining Po Zong Dan and three parts for refining Huangji Dan.

Xiao Ling's eyes swept across the table again. In addition to the three medicinal materials for refining the Po Zong Pill and Huangji Pill, he also noticed several medicinal plants placed aside. These were undoubtedly the rewards prepared by the Yunlan Sect for him. Among these precious medicinal herbs, one in particular caught his attention. It was the Qihuan Qingling Saliva, an elixir that he was quite familiar with.

This unexpected discovery made Xiao Ling slightly surprised. He had never thought that he would encounter such a rare Seven Fantasy Green Spirit Saliva again in the Jiama Empire.

Xiao Ling once used the Seven Fantasy Green Spirit Saliva as the main material to successfully refine his first seventh-grade elixir so far.

This achievement not only demonstrated his extraordinary skills in refining medicine, but also made Qi Huan Qing Ling Saliva occupy a special place in his heart.

Now that he saw this medicinal plant of the same variety again, he couldn't help but recall the glorious moment of refining medicine, and felt a sense of emotion in his heart.

Yun Yun noticed Xiao Ling's eyes resting on the Seven Fantasy Green Spirit Saliva and the subtle expression on his face, and she couldn't help but raise a faint smile at the corner of her mouth. He thought to himself: "It seems that Yunlan Sect's preparations have successfully aroused the interest of Master Xiao Ling. I believe that the next negotiation should be much easier."

Immediately, Yun Yun stretched out her slender jade hand, and with a faint smile, introduced to Xiao Ling: "Master Xiao Ling, this Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva is our Yun Lan Sect who has gone through many hardships and spent a lot of money not long ago. I just found it. I heard earlier that the master got a piece of this medicine in exchange for curing Marshal Lionheart. I thought that the master must have a special liking for this medicine, so I brought this medicine this time. "

After listening to Yun Yun's explanation, Xiao Ling already had a somewhat clear idea of ​​the origin of the Seven Fantasy Green Spirit Saliva. It seems that the Yunlan Sect accidentally obtained this Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva in the process of vigorously searching for the medicinal materials of Po Zong Pill and Huangji Pill.

Xiao Ling was not surprised that the Yunlan Sect knew that he had used Qihuan Qingling's saliva as a reward to treat Nalan Jie. After all, Nalan Jie's granddaughter Nalan Yanran is Yun Yun's proud disciple. It was only reasonable for her to tell her master the inside story.

Xiao Ling knew in his heart that if the Yunlan Sect offered these rewards normally, it would be enough for him to refine these two pills. However, the current situation was special, and he wanted to explore the Yunlan Sect's background again to see if they had any more rare treasures as bargaining chips.

After all, Xiao Ling would be quite happy if he could gain more benefits by just talking.

And Xiao Ling knew it well, and he was not worried that his excessive demands would make Yunlan Sect shrink back.

Yun Yun may be hesitant and unwilling to pay a huge price to ask for his help, but if Yun Shan wants to continue his life, breaking through to the Douzong realm is the only way.

If not, he will eventually return to dust and become the dust of history. But if Yunshan, who is now aging, wants to break through, Po Zong Dan is the key. This is his only hope.

For the sake of the former master of the Yunlan Sect, the Yunlan Sect would do whatever it takes to make Xiao Ling refine the vital sect-breaking pill. Xiao Ling knew very well that the Yunlan Sect's decision would be based on the cherishment of life in Yunshan and the consideration of the sect's future.

So before Yun Yun could continue speaking, Xiao Ling took the lead. His voice was calm and direct: "Master Yun Yun, the remuneration proposed by the Yun Lan Sect is indeed very generous. Under normal circumstances, if your sect needs me, I will naturally not shirk my help in refining the elixir."

"But frankly speaking, the situation I am currently facing is really urgent. You should have heard that today is the day when I plan to leave the Gama Empire. Refining the sixth-grade peak elixir is not a day's work, let alone There are two, which will undoubtedly consume a lot of my precious time.”

"I must set off as soon as possible before noon today, otherwise I may miss those irretrievable opportunities. As for the Seven Fantasy Green Spirit Saliva, although it is extremely precious in the eyes of ordinary people, to me, its effectiveness is no longer what it used to be. Please keep it in your hands and wait for the right time to use it yourself."

After Xiao Ling finished speaking, he calmly picked up the teacup on the side and sipped the tea leisurely. His posture seemed calm and unhurried, as if he was helpless and indeed unable to help Yunlan Sect.

Yun Yun has been the head of the Yunlan Sect for many years, so she naturally understands people's hearts well. She knew immediately that there was something in Xiao Ling's words, implying that the reward had not yet reached his expectations, which made her feel a little helpless.

Xiao Ling's silence and tea-sipping actions seemed to silently convey a message: if Yunlan Sect wanted to invite him, the master of alchemy, it might need more sincerity and more attractive bargaining chips.

She knew in her heart that the resources currently on the table were the most precious medicinal materials that the Yunlan Sect could provide. The Yunlan Sect had already spent a lot of money to produce these. If it weren't for the purpose of getting a Sect-Breaking Pill for her master to extend her life, Yun Yun would have been reluctant to take out these things as a reward for Xiao Ling's refining medicine.

As for the elixirs refined by Furukawa, she believed that with Xiao Ling's elixir-refining skills surpassing Furukawa himself, he would not take them seriously.

As for martial arts and fighting skills, the Yunlan Sect did have a lot of earth-level fighting skills and martial arts in its glory days, which might interest Xiao Ling.

However, with the passage of time and the gradual decline of the sect, now all that is left of the sect is some Xuan-level exercises and fighting skills. Yun Yun knew in her heart that these would probably be difficult to arouse the interest of an alchemy master like Xiao Ling.

As thoughts flashed through her mind, Yun Yun couldn't help but cast a glance, and there was a hint of imperceptible resentment in her eyes. She thought to herself: "I originally thought that although Xiao Ling has a prominent position and extraordinary strength, he is still young and should not be too shrewd. Now it seems that he is also a difficult person to deal with. I was actually overwhelmed by his gentleness before. Deceived by his appearance, I was really misled. "

However, this sense of contrast has an unusual appeal for some reason.

Although there were some fluctuations in Yun Yun's heart, her face still maintained its usual calmness and elegance, preventing the subtle changes in her heart from being revealed.

Sighing softly, Yun Yun raised a gentle smile again, although the smile was a bit reluctant. She said to Xiao Ling: "Master Xiao Ling, what you said is absolutely true. Our Yunlan Sect is indeed a little late. It takes up your precious time. All this is because we have spent a lot of energy and time on collecting these medicinal materials, which is really a helpless move."

She paused and continued: "In order to express our sincere apology, Yunlan Sect is willing to provide a more generous reward. I believe, Master Xiao Ling, you will be satisfied with this extra sincerity. We sincerely hope that you can Help us to refine these two elixirs that are crucial to us."

After Yun Yun finished speaking, she felt relieved. She was full of confidence in her chips and believed that these would definitely arouse Xiao Ling's interest. There was a trace of expectation in her eyes, as if she had foreseen Xiao Ling's unexpected reaction to the precious thing that was about to be displayed.

Hearing Yun Yun's words, Xiao Ling's interest was indeed aroused. A hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and then he cast an inquiring look at Yun Yun, with a hint of playfulness in his tone: "Since Sect Master Yun said this, I naturally want to listen attentively to see what kind of treasure it is and what kind of treasure it is. My Xiao Ling’s Dharma Eyes.”

Yun Yun nodded gently, no longer pretending to be mysterious. She raised her hand casually and took out a scroll that exuded an ancient aura from the ring. She gently placed the scroll on the table. The surface of the scroll seemed to contain subtle soul fluctuations, which were faint but clearly perceptible.

From the moment Yun Yun took out the scroll, Xiao Ling's eyes were firmly locked on it. As an alchemist, Xiao Ling almost immediately recognized the origin of this scroll. It was an extremely precious treasure for alchemists, a prescription for elixirs.

Moreover, from the aura of vicissitudes coming from this recipe, one can judge how old this recipe is, and it may even be an ancient recipe that has been lost.

When Yun Yun saw Xiao Ling showing great interest in the scroll, a faint smile involuntarily appeared on her lips. She knew well that for an alchemist like Xiao Ling, a precious elixir recipe would undoubtedly be irresistibly attractive.

Immediately, Yun Yun explained to Xiao Ling in detail: "The master's eyes are like a torch, and he must have seen that this is not just an ordinary pill recipe. Its origin is quite extraordinary. After I broke through the fighting spirit, I experienced it in the secret realm of the Gate of Life and Death." "The treasure inherited from the Yunlan Sect's ancestors was unexpectedly obtained."
