Chapter 296 Ye Family Ye Xinlan

"Okay, let's go down and meet this girl and ask her why she came to me." Xiao Ling said, stood up, took Zi Yan's little hand, and walked towards the square below. .

Just when everyone was still marveling at the success of refining the elixir, there was a sudden space fluctuation on the high platform. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling held Zi Yan's little hand, and their figures suddenly appeared on the stage.

Before the people around him could react, they heard a calm and clear voice: "You are already very skilled in refining medicine. I think the person who taught you the medicine refining technique must be a high-level alchemist. If you If you can work harder on your fire control skills, I believe you will be able to refine a fourth-grade elixir in the near future."

This sudden sound and method surprised everyone present. Their eyes immediately focused on them, curious to find out who these two mysterious visitors were.

The girl who had just finished refining the alchemy, with a hint of curiosity and doubt, cast her eyes on these two uninvited guests who suddenly appeared.

The first thing she saw was a tall, handsome man. The girl couldn't help but admire secretly: "What a handsome man."

However, when she realized that this man was not much older than her, but he evaluated her alchemy skills in a senior tone, she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in her heart.

This feeling of being regarded as a senior by her peers made her feel a little uncomfortable. But the more she looked at this man, the more she felt that he seemed familiar.

Just when the girl was about to say something, her eyes fell on the little girl behind the man, and her words stopped abruptly.

The little girl's features were too obvious, and the girl immediately recognized her identity. One of the elders of the "Supreme Freedom Sect", senior Zi Yan, who was once the number one in the inner court's strongest list and was known as the "King of Brute Force".

It is said that the strength of this senior Zi Yan has already reached the level of Dou Huang. She was very surprised that such a person was following a young man and letting him hold his hand.

But before the girl could recover from her surprise, the students next to her had already started a lively discussion and revealed the answer for her.

"Look, that's Senior Xiao Ling! The little girl next to her is Senior Sister Ziyan, the King of Brute Force."

"Senior Xiao Ling actually came to the Supreme Freedom Sect in person. This is really a rare scene."

"Don't make such a fuss. Senior Xiao Ling is one of the elders of our Supreme Freedom Sect. Isn't it normal to come here?"

"Have you heard? Senior Xiao Ling's alchemy skills have reached the seventh level, which is really impressive."

The female students around him all cast envious glances. They looked at Xiao Ling with admiration shining in their eyes, making no secret of their admiration for him. Some girls even secretly hope to take Zi Yan's place and stand beside Xiao Ling.

As the voices of people around her gradually became clearer, the girl finally understood the identity of the man in front of her, the most dazzling genius student of Canaan Academy, Xiao Ling. This person not only has amazing talent in cultivation and has already reached the Douzong realm, but he is also a seventh-level alchemist who is only eighteen years old.

She quickly came back to her senses, with a trace of respect on her face, she cupped her fist slightly towards Xiao Ling, and said politely: "It turns out to be Senior Xiao Ling, Xin Lan is rude. Thanks to Senior for your advice, I will improve my fire control skills more." Kung fu.”

Hearing Xin Lan's answer, Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, and a glimmer of interest flashed in his eyes. He said gently: "Xin Lan, that's a nice name. I heard from Zi Yan that you have been asking for information about me in Canaan College. Is there anything special you need my help with?"

In fact, when Xiao Ling heard the name "Xinlan", he had already vaguely guessed her identity. She should be the daughter of the Ye family, one of the five major families in Danta, and the granddaughter of Ye Zhong, Ye Xinlan.

Facing Xiao Ling's inquiry, Ye Xinlan quickly calmed down and her expression became serious. She answered seriously: "Xin Lan has indeed been looking for the senior, because there are some things I want to discuss with the senior in private. If it is convenient for the senior, can we find a place where no one will disturb us to talk in detail?"

Hearing Ye Xinlan's words, Xiao Ling's interest was aroused. He probably knew in his heart that Ye Xinlan's search for him was probably related to the assessment of the five major families in Danta.

He smiled slightly and responded in a relaxed tone: "Okay, I happen to be free now. We can find a place to have a good chat."

After saying that, Xiao Ling took Zi Yan's little hand and walked toward the main hall of the Supreme Freedom Gate. There was a room there that he had reserved for himself, perfect for discussing matters.

Seeing that Xiao Ling had started to act, Ye Xinlan quickly came to her senses and quickly followed Xiao Ling's pace. She was already thinking about how to persuade Xiao Ling to help.

In fact, Xiao Ling's guess was indeed accurate. Ye Xinlan wanted to see him to ask him to help participate in the assessment of the younger generation of the five major Danta families.

The Ye family is currently facing the predicament of gradual decline. It has failed to enter the top three in the assessment of the five major families twice in a row.

If they can't achieve good results next time, the Ye family's status among the five major families in Danta will not be guaranteed, which will undoubtedly further decline the Ye family, which is already in decline.

The reason why Ye Xinlan chose to come to Canaan College was actually because she learned that the elders in her family had a relationship with Su Qian, the chief elder of the college.

More importantly, she was very dissatisfied with the marriage contract arranged by her family and the Cao family for her and Cao Dan, the Cao family's daughter.

In order to escape this unwilling marriage, Ye Xinlan insisted on coming to Canaan College alone to further her studies, hoping to keep a distance from Cao Dan and avoid unnecessary contact.

As a result, not long after Ye Xinlan arrived at Canaan College, she heard various stories about Xiao Ling from other students and Elder Su Qianda.

It is said that Xiao Ling is only eighteen years old and is already a strong man at the Douzong level and a seventh-level alchemist. At first, Ye Xinlan couldn't believe it. How could such an outstanding genius appear in such a remote place in the northwest continent?

When she left the Ye family, she still clearly remembered that Cao Ying, the so-called "witch girl" of the Cao family, was already a seventh-level low-level alchemist at the age of eighteen, and Xiao Ling's alchemy talent seemed to be even greater than that of Cao Ying. Nothing less.

If someone like Xiao Ling can be invited to assist the Ye family in participating in the assessment of the five major Danta families, then it will be absolutely easy for the Ye family, which is on a downward trend, to stabilize its position among the five major Danta families.

When Ye Xinlan asked Elder Su Qianda for news about Xiao Ling, she learned that Xiao Ling would go to Zhongzhou once he was released from seclusion. This news made her realize that she must not miss this rare opportunity.

In her opinion, although Xiao Ling was born in the northwest continent, the strongest support behind him was Canaan College. But even if the Ye family was experiencing decline, they should still be able to provide some substantial help when Xiao Ling first arrived in Zhongzhou. .

Ye Xinlan believes that if the Ye family can lend a helping hand and make good friends before Xiao Ling emerges, then the Ye family can also receive corresponding rewards in future cooperation between the two parties. This kind of mutual assistance is undoubtedly a win-win situation for the Ye family and Xiao Ling.

…

As soon as they entered the quiet room, Zi Yan and Xiao Ling found a place to sit down, while Ye Xinlan sat down opposite them.

After a short period of relaxed chat, Ye Xinlan went straight to the topic without taking any detours.

Her voice was filled with respect and eagerness: "Senior Xiao Ling, your talent is truly amazing. You can refine seventh-grade elixirs at such a young age. Such alchemy refining skills are extremely rare even in Zhongzhou."

"Our family is currently facing an important assessment, and we very much hope to get your help, senior. As for the reward, as long as it is what our family can provide, senior, feel free to ask."

After a detailed explanation, Ye Xinlan once again elaborated on his identity, the challenges the Ye family currently faces, and the strict rules and assessment systems among the five major families in Danta.

After a slight pause, Ye Xinlan took out a scroll exuding a faint fiery aura from her ring and placed it gently on the table.

She began to introduce the content of the scroll: "What is recorded in this scroll is a fighting skill called "Spiritual Flame Pill Furnace Technique". Its grade has reached the intermediate level of the earth level. It is a secret fighting skill of our Ye family." 1. The caster can use the power of his own flames to condense an alchemy furnace out of thin air. The size of this alchemy furnace can be controlled according to the user's wishes. In battle, it can be used to trap opponents by surprise. Powerful control effect.”

Ye Xinlan continued: "For the alchemist, the value of this fighting skill is far more than that. When the alchemist does not have an alchemy furnace on hand, he can use this fighting skill to condense the alchemy furnace for elixir refining, which is very convenient. Moreover, The higher the quality of the flames used, the more powerful this fighting skill will be. If it is performed with strange fire, its effect can even be comparable to that of advanced earth-level fighting skills."

"I think this fighting skill will also be helpful to you, senior. Regardless of whether the senior is willing to agree to Xinlan's previous request, please accept this gift and treat it as a gift for our meeting."

After Ye Xinlan finished speaking, her eyes were firmly fixed on Xiao Ling, her eyes full of expectation.

She knew that "Lingyan Dan Furnace Technique" was one of the extremely precious fighting skills of the Ye family, and usually only the elites in the family were qualified to practice it. If she hadn't been the eldest lady of the Ye family, she wouldn't have mastered this fighting skill training secret so easily.

Although she felt a little uneasy about using such a family secret skill, Ye Xinlan felt that this was a necessary step in order to establish a good relationship with Xiao Ling. She believed that even if her grandfather knew about it, he would understand and support her decision.

After all, it is undoubtedly a wise move to establish a good relationship with such a talented alchemist before he shines, and it will only bring benefits and no harm.

If facing such a peerless genius whose talent is visible to the naked eye, Ye Xinlan does not know how to seize the opportunity to establish a good relationship in advance, then the worldly wisdom she has learned in the Ye family for so many years will be in vain.

Facing Ye Xinlan's expectant eyes, Xiao Ling pondered for a moment, and then said easily: "You mentioned before that there is still some time for the assessment, so we don't have to rush to decide now. As for your suggestion of inviting me to stay at Ye's house , I’m grateful, but I already have my own plans.”

"When I travel to Zhongzhou, if I have the opportunity, I will visit the Ye family when I pass through Danyu. Then I can sit down and discuss cooperation in detail. As for the details of cooperation and remuneration, your elders and I can go Let’s discuss it later. I’m also interested in that fighting skill, so thank you for your kindness.”

Xiao Ling has no resistance to helping the Ye family deal with the assessment of the five major families. After all, the Ye family is a family that is a close friend of Elder Su Qian, so it is reasonable for him to help.

Moreover, it doesn't take up much of his time. Anyway, he will definitely go to Shengdan City in advance before participating in the Dan Meeting. Then he will help handle the assessment matters of the five major families, which will not cause him too much trouble.

Ye Xinlan very sincerely presented a high-quality fighting skill as a gift as soon as they met. This sincerity really made Xiao Ling feel a little good.

Xiao Ling knew in her heart that if she turned a blind eye to the Ye family's plight, the Ye family might be forced to let Ye Xinlan fulfill her engagement with Cao Dan in order to maintain her position.

Thinking that such a smart and energetic school girl might fall into a disadvantageous situation and let Cao Dan suffer, Xiao Ling felt really uncomfortable.

Of course, it would be unrealistic for Xiao Ling to promise to fully support the Ye family now. His own reputation has not yet been fully established. Although it seems like a good deal for him to take action in exchange for an intermediate level fighting skill, Xiao Ling is full of confidence in his future.

He believes that when the time comes for him to go to Zhongzhou, he will be able to break into a new world. At that time, the Ye family will definitely provide more attractive conditions in order to get his help.

When the time comes, it will be more than just borrowing the Yanghuo Ancient Altar. If Xiao Ling can fully demonstrate his strength and potential, maybe even the entire Ye family will be willing to join him.

Ye Xinlan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she heard that Xiao Ling didn't give a positive answer immediately. She thought silently in her heart: "To be able to achieve such achievements at such a young age, Senior Xiao Ling is indeed no ordinary person. He has a deep mind and it is indeed not easy to win his promise."

"However, it can be heard from his words that he did not refuse directly, which means that things can still turn around. I have to write to the family to let them know about Senior Xiao Ling's situation. The family should establish a good relationship with him as soon as possible. relation."

Although she felt a little disappointed, Ye Xinlan still had a warm smile on her face. She said in a gentle tone: "It seems that I didn't think carefully. Since you, senior, have your own plan, we shouldn't disturb you." . However, if there is an opportunity in the future, the senior will definitely come to our Ye family, and we will welcome him at any time."

Xiao Ling's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and even the subtle and fleeting changes on Ye Xinlan's face could not escape his attention.

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a hint of playfulness in his tone: "Senior Xinlan, I won't use your fighting skills in vain. This is my alchemist's handbook, which records my experience in refining alchemy over the years. Perhaps It will inspire you. I will leave for Tianya City tomorrow. You might as well learn alchemy with me today. If you don’t understand anything, you can always ask me."

As he spoke, Xiao Ling's fingers gently put the fighting skills scroll that Ye Xinlan had placed on the table into his own ring, and then took out a book with a slightly mottled cover from his own ring.

The pages of this book have some wear at the corners and have obviously been thumbed through frequently. This is Xiao Ling's alchemist's handbook. It not only records his profound insights into the alchemy skills of seventh grade and below, but is also a priceless treasure for any alchemist.

Hearing Xiao Ling's words, the corners of Ye Xinlan's mouth raised unconsciously, and her eyes shone with excitement. Although the Ye family does not lack the handbooks of seventh-grade alchemists, the experience and insights of each alchemist are unique.

Learning from the strengths of others and making up for your own shortcomings is the only way to improve your medicine refining skills. The experience of others is always valuable, especially for a young and promising alchemist like Xiao Ling. His experience may not be as rich as that of the older generation of alchemists, but he definitely has his own uniqueness.

Ye Xinlan secretly thought that Xiao Ling's medicine refining experience might contain some secrets that could inspire her.

With a hint of shyness, Ye Xinlan took the alchemist's note from Xiao Ling. Her smile was filled with gratitude: "Thank you, senior Xiao Ling. I will cherish this gift. Next, please give me more Advice.”

Xiao Ling looked at Ye Xinlan's slightly shy look and couldn't help but stretched out her hand and gently rubbed her head, with a hint of endearment in her tone: "Haha, you don't have to be so polite, we are all Canaan." College students, don’t be so angry, just relax.”

Xiao Ling's sudden intimate movements gave Ye Xinlan a faint blush on her cheeks and the tips of her ears. For a person like her who is usually calm, apart from her father and grandfather, this is the first time she has had such close contact with the opposite sex.

Xiao Ling noticed Ye Xinlan's embarrassment and immediately realized that her actions might be too intimate. He quickly retracted his hand and coughed slightly, trying to break the slightly awkward atmosphere: "Okay, let's not stand here anymore. Follow me to my courtyard, and I will teach you the art of alchemy myself."

Then Xiao Ling turned around and said to Zi Yan: "Zi Yan, please take her with you, it's a little inconvenient for me."

Zi Yan glanced at Ye Xinlan, and although she was reluctant, she nodded slightly and accepted Xiao Ling's request.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling gently opened the door, and with a sway, he quickly disappeared into the room like a gust of wind.

Zi Yan didn't give Ye Xinlan much time to react. She quickly grabbed Ye Xinlan's wrist and chased in the direction Xiao Ling left without hesitation.
