Chapter 297 Medusa Appears

Ever since Xiao Ling showed up at the Supreme Freedom Sect, the news of the end of his retreat spread like wildfire to every corner of the inner courtyard.

In the morning, the sun shone on the stone road, and the elders who had a deep friendship with Xiao Ling came to visit one after another. They greeted Xiao Ling with gentle smiles.

They knew in their hearts that the child they had watched grow up was about to bid farewell to Canaan College and embark on a journey to the vast Zhongzhou.

After chatting with the elders, Xiao Ling strolled around the inner courtyard. During this period, he found the Xiao family members who were still in the academy and revealed to them his plan to leave the northwest continent.

He also deliberately left some resources and gave them to Xiao Yu, asking her to be responsible for distributing them to the clan members. This could be regarded as another contribution to the growth of the family's younger generations before he left.

During Xiao Ling's last moments in the inner courtyard, he deliberately found Xiao Yan.

This young man who made a splash in the recent Inner Academy Strong Ranking Competition not only won the crown, but also won the honor of being forged by the Origin of Fallen Heart Flame.

During this period of time, his cultivation has steadily improved and he has reached the level of Dou Ling Nine Stars, which is only one step away from the realm of Dou Wang.

During the meeting with Xiao Yan, Xiao Ling made a suggestion and asked Xiao Yan if he was willing to go to Zhongzhou with him, and expressed his willingness to arrange a suitable residence for him.

However, Xiao Yan declined Xiao Ling's proposal. He explained that he was not eager to join any forces in Zhongzhou and did not want to be bound by any restrictions. His goal is to go to Zhongzhou, but not to attach himself to a certain force, nor to obtain their cultivation and training resources. What Xiao Yan longs for is to use his own strength to carve out a world in Zhongzhou Continent.

He planned to wait until his strength reached at least Douwang level, or even higher, before heading to Zhongzhou alone. Xiao Yan hopes to set foot on that land full of opportunities and challenges after he has enough strength and preparation.

Although Xiao Ling was a little surprised when she heard Xiao Yan's decision, she soon felt that it was completely in line with Xiao Yan's character.

Xiao Yan will naturally go to Zhongzhou, but with his unruly personality, he prefers to explore freely rather than being bound by any force early on. Xiao Ling's proposal was indeed unattractive to Xiao Yan, who longed to strike out independently.

Xiao Ling didn't say anything more. He understood that everyone has their own path to take. Since Xiao Yan already has his own plan, let him act according to his plan. Xiao Ling even had some expectations that maybe Xiao Yan would encounter some unexpected opportunities and adventures on his journey to Zhongzhou alone.

After bidding farewell to Xiao Yan, Xiao Ling returned to his courtyard. At this time, everyone is busy packing the luggage they will bring. Xiao Ling, on the other hand, was immersed in his alchemy room, repeatedly studying the "Ling Yan Dan Furnace Technique" that Ye Xinlan had just given him.

In the quiet space of the alchemy room, Xiao Ling followed the guidance of the "Ling Yan Dan Furnace Technique" and mobilized the fire-attribute fighting energy flowing in his body.

He gently opened his palm, and a golden flame jumped out like an elf, gradually condensing into an exquisite flame furnace.

The alchemy furnace slowly rotated in his palm. With the precise injection of Xiao Ling's fighting energy, it gradually expanded. Finally, he skillfully controlled it to a size suitable for alchemy and floated in front of him.

Ye Xinlan stood aside, witnessing Xiao Ling's first use of the "Spiritual Flame Pill Furnace Technique" so easily that she couldn't help but cover her mouth with both hands, with incredible surprise in her eyes. She softly exclaimed: "Senior Xiao Ling, you are really a genius. You can use this fighting skill so smoothly for the first time. When I see how good you are, I feel like I should just find a corner and hit myself to death." "

Xiao Ling smiled softly, waved his palm lightly, and the flame pill furnace condensed with golden flames was slowly withdrawn and disappeared into his palm. He said in a calm tone: "Haha, my situation is different from yours. My soul power is stronger, so I naturally learn things faster. When your soul power improves, your learning speed will also speed up, and so will the alchemy skills. Improve accordingly.”

When Ye Xinlan heard Xiao Ling's comfort, she couldn't help curling her lips, feeling a little unconvinced. She complained in her heart that the strength of her soul power was related to her talent. If she could be like the talented Cao Ying of the Cao family and have strong soul power from birth, then her Ye family would not be reduced to this At this point, even the names of the five major Danta families can hardly be saved.

Xiao Ling waved his hand gently, signaling no more chatting, with a hint of seriousness in his smile. "Okay, let's not talk about anything else. Next, I will teach you some of the essence of alchemy. You start to make alchemy first, and I will point out your shortcomings next to you." His voice was gentle but firm.

Ye Xinlan nodded seriously, then quickly placed an exquisite medicine cauldron and started her alchemy process. Her movements were skillful and methodical, and she clearly knew the steps of making alchemy by heart.

Next, Ye Xinlan was refining elixirs, and Xiao Ling was giving guidance.

As Ye Xinlan operated, Xiao Ling's eyes followed closely. He nodded or shook his head slightly from time to time, and occasionally whispered suggestions.

His words are concise and precise, and he can always point out the problem to the point and give ways to improve it.

In the alchemy room, flames jumped and the fragrance of medicine filled the air. Under Xiao Ling's guidance, Ye Xinlan gradually adjusted her alchemy skills.

Every control of the flames and every input of medicinal materials became more precise under Xiao Ling's guidance.

Under Xiao Ling's careful guidance, some minor flaws in Ye Xinlan's medicine refining process were pointed out one by one. With Xiao Ling's patient correction, Ye Xinlan gradually realized many of her shortcomings in medicine refining.

As the communication with Xiao Ling became more and more in-depth, Ye Xinlan felt more and more that Xiao Ling was extraordinary. When she was in the Ye family, although she did not get personal guidance from the seventh-grade alchemist every day, her grandfather, as the most superb alchemist in the Ye family, also taught her the art of medicine refining in person.

However, under Xiao Ling's guidance, Ye Xinlan had a strange feeling in her heart. She vaguely felt that some of Xiao Ling's knowledge and insights in alchemy seemed to be more exquisite than her grandfather's.

This feeling made her feel that Xiao Ling was not like a young alchemist, but more like a senior master who had experienced vicissitudes and refined countless pills.

However, Ye Xinlan quickly put these thoughts behind her. She believed that the reason why she had such an idea was because she did not have a deep enough understanding of medicine refining, which caused some illusions. After all, her grandfather had been refining medicine all his life, and although Xiao Ling was young, how could he have more experience than her grandfather? This idea, in her opinion, was too absurd.

Ye Xinlan's intuition was actually correct, but she didn't know the secret behind Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling inherited the memory of the alchemy technique of the Gui Ling Venerable, and his theoretical knowledge had already reached the level of an eighth-grade alchemist.

Moreover, he was guided by Yao Chen, an eighth-grade peak alchemist, who had been guiding him for many years. This made him have a more comprehensive grasp of the theoretical knowledge of various alchemy techniques than many senior eighth-grade alchemists.

Xiao Ling knew that the alchemy class he gave Ye Xinlan was definitely not less valuable than the guidance of any ordinary eighth-grade alchemist.

He taught not only skills, but also the profound alchemy knowledge he inherited from the Gui Ling Venerable and Yao Chen's unique insights into alchemy. Such teaching was undoubtedly a rare learning opportunity for Ye Xinlan.

Xiao Ling thought that Ye Xinlan used a volume of earth-level intermediate fighting skills in exchange for his half-day alchemy guidance, plus a handbook that could help her reach the seventh-grade alchemist realm. This deal was definitely worth it for her.

Xiao Ling even felt that he might have lost a little.

After finishing teaching Ye Xinlan alchemy, Xiao Ling returned to his room and prepared to take a break.

As soon as he sat down, the seven-colored swallowing sky python that had been wrapped around his arm suddenly became active. It slid off his arm flexibly and then quickly rushed in front of him.

The little swallowing sky python rubbed intimately in Xiao Ling's arms, then stretched out its forked snake core, as if silently asking Xiao Ling for a touch.

Xiao Ling was amused by the little guy's behavior. He gently stretched out his hand and began to stroke the smooth and elastic scales of the little swallowing sky python.

His technique was gentle and rhythmic, and every touch made the little swallowing sky python feel extremely comfortable and satisfied.

It closed its eyes, enjoying the love from Xiao Ling, and the whole room was filled with a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

Due to Xiao Ling's previous closed-door cultivation, the little swallowing sky python had not played well with Xiao Ling for more than half a year.

During this period, whenever the little swallowing sky python felt hungry, it would find medicinal herbs from Xiao Ling's ring to fill its stomach.

Although Xiao Ling's ring was equipped with a soul mark to protect the items inside, whenever the little swallowing sky python wanted to eat, as long as Xiao Ling was not at a critical moment of cultivation, he would relax the restrictions of the soul and let the little swallowing sky python freely go in to pick medicinal herbs to eat.

However, this tolerant approach sometimes brings some unexpected consequences. The little swallowing sky python's exploration in the ring is not always so cautious, and it sometimes "accidentally" bites some precious eighth-level medicinal herbs to taste them.

This makes Xiao Ling feel helpless and funny. Those medicinal herbs that have been "tasted" by the little swallowing sky python can only be refined into pills in the end, becoming the exclusive delicacy of the little guy.

Xiao Ling casually took out an eighth-level Qimeng Immortal Fruit that had been bitten by the little Tiantun Python from his ring. He used the "Spiritual Flame Pill Furnace Technique" to summon a medicine cauldron made of spiritual flames in front of him.

As he moved, the medicine cauldron slowly rotated, emitting a fiery light.

Then, he put the precious medicinal material into the medicine cauldron and began the refining process.

The little Tiantun Python watched from the side. It seemed to realize something and happily turned around Xiao Ling, with a flash of anticipation in its eyes.

It knew that every time Xiao Ling started to refine medicine, it meant that it would have delicious pills to enjoy. The little Tiantun Python's tail swayed gently, as if celebrating the upcoming food.

Xiao Ling looked at the medicine cauldron condensed by flames and couldn't help but sigh, "This Lingyan Danlu Jue is quite convenient, the effect is good, and it is very suitable for alchemists to practice."

After a while, the medicinal materials in the flame medicine cauldron were refined into round pills under Xiao Ling's skillful hands. They rolled gently in the medicine cauldron, emitting an attractive luster.

Afterwards, Xiao Ling waved his hand gently, and the medicine cauldron condensed by flames began to slowly dissipate, and finally turned into wisps of fire, which were sucked into his palm, as if they had never existed.

Then, Xiao Ling casually took out a sheep-fat white jade bottle. The bottle was as warm as jade and exuded a noble atmosphere. He carefully put the refined pills into the bottle and then put them into his storage ring.

He left two pills. With a flick of the ball, the pills were suspended in the air, exuding a faint medicinal fragrance.

As soon as the pill came out, it immediately attracted the attention of the colorful sky-swallowing python. It swam lightly to Xiao Ling's shoulder, swaying its tail slightly, raising its upper body slightly, rubbing Xiao Ling's cheek affectionately, like a puppy coquettishly showing off to its owner.

When Xiao Ling saw this, he couldn't help but chuckle. He flicked his fingers, and the two pills on his fingertips were accurately ejected into the slightly opened mouth of the colorful sky-swallowing python.

As soon as the pill slipped into the throat of the colorful sky-swallowing python, it spun around in circles happily, as if celebrating the delicious food that was about to come. Suddenly, a strong light burst out from its body, as bright as a small sun.

At this moment, a brilliant seven-colored light spurted out from its body. With the surge of light, the seven-colored sky-swallowing python's body began to twist violently. In Xiao Ling's surprised eyes, the light gradually condensed, and finally turned into a naked body, with skin like the purest white jade, soft and perfect curves, slowly appearing in front of Xiao Ling's eyes.

The beauty in front of her is simply a living work of art. Her beauty is the kind that makes people fall in love at first sight and fall in love with her again. She stood there like an ice sculpture of Venus, her skin so fair that it could almost reflect light, and every inch revealed delicacy and perfection.

There was a kind of natural indifference in her eyes, as if she were a high-ranking goddess, disdainful of everything in the world. But it is this kind of coolness that makes people more fascinated, as if it is a challenge, arousing the desire to conquer in men's hearts. Her beauty is not just appearance, but also a kind of temperament, an irresistible charm.

Her existence is like a visual feast that makes people unable to help but take a few more glances, but they dare not look directly for too long, for fear that their greedy eyes will desecrate this purity. She is like a magnet, attracting everyone's attention, but making people afraid to approach easily.

If this beauty can let go of her arrogance and show a little tenderness, her charm will be unmatched. Every smile and every look in her eyes is enough to make people crazy and fall in love with her.

But beauty always has her pride, and her coldness is part of her charm. Her beauty does not need anyone's affirmation. Her existence is the best proof.

As soon as Queen Medusa appeared, she immediately felt something strange on her chest. She looked down and saw that Xiao Ling's palm had touched her towering breasts at some point.

"Have you touched enough?" Her voice was cold, breaking the silence.

Xiao Ling's eyes quickly swept over Medusa's flawless white jade body. He coughed lightly and calmly retracted his hand.

"Ahem, it's not my fault. I didn't expect you to show up so suddenly." Xiao Ling tried to explain, but there was a hint of embarrassment in his tone.

Queen Medusa snorted coldly, obviously not buying Xiao Ling's excuse. She waved her hand gently, and a bright colorful light flashed through, instantly turning into a red dress on her body, perfectly covering her spring beauty. Her slender fingers lightly touched a strand of black hair on her forehead, and then she asked lightly:

"Have you found a way to help me repair my soul?"

Although her voice was still cold, it no longer had the sharpness it had before, replaced by a sense of expectation and anxiety.

Xiao Ling smiled softly and said to Medusa in a relaxed tone: "You also know that I have been in seclusion during this period. I have no time to find a solution to your soul problem. However, I heard it from Yao Lao An idea."

Medusa raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, and a trace of curiosity and interest flashed in her eyes. She asked, "What did the senior say?"

Medusa knew in her heart that Yao Chen was a peak eighth-grade alchemist during his lifetime, and his knowledge and experience were undoubtedly extremely rich. She had thought about asking Yao Chen for help, but because she was not familiar with it, she never asked. Now, if she can get some useful information from Xiao Ling, it will undoubtedly be good news for her.

Xiao Ling scratched his nose lightly and said with an awkward smile: "Yao Lao did give me a prescription for the Spirit Fusion Pill. This pill can not only enhance the power of the soul, but also solve some problems in the soul. , which is perfect for you.”

Now that Medusa has agreed to go with him to adventure in Zhongzhou, there is no need to be secretive about this method.

Medusa looked at Xiao Ling, a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes. She curled her lips, with a hint of joking in her tone: "You have known this method for a long time, right? If you didn't tell me before, you were just thinking about how to do it." I brought him from the snake people?"

Xiao Ling did not refute what Medusa said. He just smiled and did not continue the topic.

Medusa then asked: "Then when are you going to refine the Spirit Melting Pill for me?"

Xiao Ling rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, and then replied: "We plan to leave for Zhongzhou tomorrow. Once we get there, once we settle down, I will start to help you refine it."

After hearing Xiao Ling's words, Medusa secretly murmured in her heart: "Is this guy afraid that I will run away and has to wait until Zhongzhou to refine it for me?"

But she didn't say much, just curled her lips slightly. In her opinion, this was only a matter of a few days, and she had no intention of breaking the contract. It was her own idea to go to Zhongzhou to experience.
