Chapter 329 Miss Cao Ying's Imagination

Chapter 32 Brain Supplement

"If you like something here, put it in this ring first." Mu Lao said, handing Xiao Ling a ring, and Xiao Ling quickly took it. "When you have chosen it, take it out and give it to me. I will estimate the value of the items inside and tell you the price required for the exchange."

"I understand, thank you Mu Lao." Xiao Ling nodded to show his understanding.

The gentle attitude of Mu Lao made Xiao Ling feel very comfortable. After taking the ring, he and Cao Ying exchanged a tacit look, and then stepped into the treasure house of Danta together.

The space inside was open and well-lit. Rows of neat shelves were filled with a dazzling array of rare medicinal materials and elixirs, and high-level magic cores were also everywhere.

The air was filled with the mixed aroma of various medicinal materials. Taking a deep breath seemed to make people feel refreshed.

Cao Ying seemed to be a frequent visitor here. She skillfully led Xiao Ling to shuttle through the treasure house. As she walked, she enthusiastically introduced to Xiao Ling the characteristics of various medicinal herbs and their magical uses in refining medicine.

Xiao Ling listened with great interest. Whenever he heard something particularly interesting, he could not help but nod or exclaim one or two times.

Their footsteps echoed in the quiet treasure house. Cao Ying's voice was crisp and pleasant, and Xiao Ling's response was full of curiosity. The conversation and occasional laughter of the two added a bit of liveliness and warmth to this space full of treasures.

While Xiao Ling was walking in the treasure house, whenever he found some rare medicinal herbs that he had never owned, he would carefully take one of them and plan to use it to enrich his medicinal collection.

He thought in his mind that he would be able to get the same kind of medicinal herbs continuously by using the Palm of Heaven Bottle to ripen these medicinal herbs in the future.

For those high-level magic cores with different attributes, Xiao Ling also carefully selected and collected a lot of them.

Once these magic cores are used up, they are gone. They are not like medicinal herbs that can be regenerated, so Xiao Ling selected them very carefully. He also selected as many magic cores as possible in case of emergency.

Moreover, the treasure house of Danta not only contains various rare materials, but also contains various poisonous things, which opened Xiao Ling's eyes. He naturally would not miss this opportunity and collected some of these poisonous things.

Although he did not know much about these poisonous things, if he gave them to Xiao Yixian, it might be helpful for her cultivation. After all, Xiao Yixian's toxic body naturally accepted all these poisonous things.

Watching Xiao Ling walking along the way, constantly collecting various rare medicinal herbs and high-level magic cores, Cao Ying could not help but be a little surprised. There was no other reason, because Xiao Ling collected too many rare materials, which made her a little stunned.

"These treasures are not cheap," Cao Ying finally couldn't help but speak, "The total value of the things you just took away is probably not even comparable to the wealth of an ordinary eighth-grade alchemist. Are you sure you have enough things to exchange for so many treasures?"

"Don't worry, I'm still rich," Xiao Ling smiled slightly, his tone relaxed, "It should be more than enough to exchange for these things."

Immediately, Xiao Ling waved his hand, and a box placed on a shelf not far away floated up gently, slowly flew towards him, and was finally held steadily in his hand.

Through the transparent lid of the box, you can see a crystal clear ice crystal lotus lying quietly inside. It is the thousand-year-old ice crystal snow lotus that can only grow in extremely cold places. It is a rare material that can be used to refine eighth-grade or even ninth-grade elixirs and is priceless.

And this kind of medicinal material has some effects of improving soul power, which is yearned for and pursued by countless alchemists.

"This ice crystal snow lotus is so beautiful. I think it suits you very well. I'll take it as a gift for you." Xiao Ling said as he took out the ice crystal snow lotus.

He first carefully took a stem from the lotus and put it away, then handed the rest to Cao Ying.

Xiao Ling had noticed before that Cao Ying's eyes would be attracted by this thousand-year-old ice crystal snow lotus from time to time. Every time she looked at it, her eyes showed an unconcealable love.

So, Xiao Ling decided to give it to Cao Ying as a gift, which was also a little reward for Cao Ying's guide for her during this period of time.

Faced with such an emergency, Cao Ying was stunned at first, and then waved her hand a little embarrassedly, wanting to refuse Xiao Ling's kindness.

"How can I be so embarrassed? This is too expensive..." There was a hint of hesitation in her voice.

Xiao Ling did not speak, but silently handed the thousand-year-old ice crystal snow lotus to Cao Ying, obviously not intending to take it back.

In his opinion, since he had decided to give it, there was no need to take it back. This little thing was just a small thing for him, just a little watering.

In the end, under Xiao Ling's insistence, Cao Ying still took the ice crystal snow lotus with a slightly red face. "Thank you..." She whispered, her voice was almost inaudible.

Then, Cao Ying quickly turned her head and walked in front of Xiao Ling, leaving only a graceful back wrapped in a black dress.

And in a place where Xiao Ling couldn't see, Cao Ying was gently holding the thousand-year-old ice crystal snow lotus, putting it to the tip of her nose and sniffing it gently.

The faint fragrance made her mood become extremely happy. I don't know when, her cheeks were already stained with a faint blush, and the shyness and joy were particularly moving in the quietness of the treasure house.

This unexpected gift really made Cao Ying's impression of Xiao Ling soar, and also made her more determined in her inner guess.

He must be interested in me!

Otherwise, who would be so generous as to give such a precious thing to a person whom they have only known for a short time?

Picture what?

Of course it’s for her beauty!

It has to be said that the three major illusions in life are common in any world, especially for a talented and beautiful woman like Cao Ying, who has attracted much attention. She has never been in the minority of suitors.

"Hmph, it's not easy to catch this young lady, but this guy is indeed much better than those young talents in Zhongzhou who claim to be young talents, so he is not a bad choice."

Cao Ying thought this in her heart, looking at Xiao Ling's handsome face, the more she looked at it, the more pleasing it became to her eyes.

This made Xiao Ling who was following behind feel a little confused, "What's wrong with this woman? She's so weird."

He muttered in his mind, but didn't think much about it and continued to focus on selecting various rare medicinal materials.

On the other side, Elder Mu, who was monitoring the situation in the treasure house through special treasures, couldn't help but twitching when he saw Xiao Ling's actions.

"Is this kid so rich? He actually chose so many treasures, even the thousand-year-old ice crystal snow lotus can be given away at will. But if he can't get enough exchange rewards, then he can only work for the Danta. The medicine is gone..."

…

About an hour later, Xiao Ling and Cao Ying walked around the treasure house, selected the materials they were satisfied with, and then returned to the front desk.

It has to be said that the Alchemy Pagoda’s collection of medicinal materials and various rare materials are indeed rich, which is an eye-opener for Xiao Ling.

However, he knew in his heart that these were far from the complete details of Danta. There must be more precious materials that are not accessible to him at this level.

Elder Mu at the front desk saw Xiao Ling and Cao Ying coming out and greeted them with a smile: "Hey, you two young people have finally come out. It seems that you have almost made your choice, right?"

"I just saw that you, young man, took away a lot of rare materials, which made me a little bit greedy. But don't be unable to bring something of equal value in exchange." Elder Mu continued half-jokingly. He said to Xiao Ling, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Haha, don't worry, I can still handle these materials." Xiao Ling smiled easily, with full confidence in his tone.

Are you kidding me? With the Heavenly Palm Bottle in hand, an artifact that can accelerate the ripening of medicinal materials, when has Xiao Ling ever lacked elixir resources?

In exchange for these precious treasures selected from the Danta's treasure house this time, it is definitely more than enough.

Immediately, Xiao Ling nodded to Cao Ying and signaled her to start processing the resource exchange. Then he walked towards Elder Mu and prepared to exchange resources.

The process of resource exchange is actually very simple. Each rare treasure in the treasure house is assigned a value point. If you want to take away these treasures, you must exchange them with the corresponding value points.

Xiao Ling planned to exchange some of the duplicate medicinal materials in his hand for these value points, and then use these value points to exchange for the rare materials he selected in the treasure house.

In Danta, these value points are usually obtained by completing tasks assigned by Danta, turning in rare materials, or contributing martial arts and fighting skills. Such rights and interests can only be enjoyed by formal members of Danta.

Although Xiao Ling has not officially joined the Danta Tower, since Xuan Yi, one of the three giants of the Danta Tower, has spoken, he can naturally make an exception and make such an exchange.

However, Xuan Yi originally thought that Xiao Ling was from the northwest continent and could not even get together the medicinal materials for refining Poria Green Pill. No matter how rich Xiao Ling was, it should not be much richer than an ordinary eighth-grade alchemist. .

In that case, Xiao Ling might just take out some materials he doesn't need in exchange for useful treasures in the Danta's treasure house.

This can be regarded as Danta's care for Xiao Ling.

However, the wealth that Xiao Ling showed this time was not inferior to that of a veteran eighth-level alchemist, which was beyond Xuan Yi's expectation.

However, Xuanyi won't know about this matter in a short time, and even if Xuanyi knows this, she won't care too much.

After all, Danta will not suffer any loss from this. Xiao Ling got what he wanted from Danta, and he would naturally leave a better impression on Danta. This is also a good thing for Danta.

After completing the exchange, Elder Mu looked at Xiao Ling with a strange look. As a veteran eighth-grade alchemy master, his net worth is actually not as good as the young man in front of him who looks to be only about twenty years old. He couldn't help but wonder how on earth this boy accumulated so many precious medicinal materials.

"Hey, you kid, you are so rich that even the old man is a little envious of you. How about we make a deal?" Elder Mu rubbed his hands while sorting out the medicinal materials he received from Xiao Ling. Said to Xiao Ling in a joking tone.

"Oh? Senior, what deal are you going to make with me?" Xiao Ling had gained a lot this time and was in a good mood, so he asked curiously with a smile.

"I got this fighting skill from a relic. It's very precious. I see that you have chosen a lot of poison-type materials before. I wonder if you are interested in fighting skills." Elder Mu said again and again. , while taking out a dark green scroll and handing it to Xiao Ling,

"I don't want anything too precious from you, just two of those everlasting green vines you brought out before. If this fighting skill wasn't suitable for me to practice, I wouldn't trade them with you so cheaply."

Hearing Elder Mu's words, Xiao Ling's interest was piqued. He reached out and took the dark green scroll, then spread it out and looked at it carefully.

""Poison Soul-Breaking Strike" is an earth-level intermediate fighting skill. This skill uses poisonous gas as a blade, pointing directly at the enemy's soul, causing great damage. Its attack is invisible, and its damage is very powerful. It can hear thunder in a silent place, and kill The enemy is invisible.

If the practitioner has a strong soul and strong poisonous energy, and uses this technique, its power will be even greater. It can make the opponent unable to guard against it, destroying the soul with one blow, and its power is unpredictable. "

"This is a rare poison-type soul fighting skill. It's really good." Xiao Ling touched his chin and thought to himself, "If the little medical fairy learns it, it will definitely become one of her trump cards."

He was very satisfied with the deal proposed by Elder Mu.

"How's it going, young man? Is this fighting skill to your liking?" When Elder Mu saw Xiao Ling didn't respond immediately, he rubbed his hands and asked with expectant eyes.

He knew in his heart that such fighting skills might not be suitable for an alchemist like Xiao Ling to practice in person. No matter how powerful the soul power is, if the fighting spirit attributes do not match, the power displayed will be greatly reduced.

"I like this fighting skill very much, and I agree to this deal." Xiao Ling came back to his senses, nodded to Elder Mu, then put the green scroll into his own ring, and then took out two Evergreen Spirit Vine was handed to Elder Mu.

"Haha, you really have good vision." Elder Mu took the Qingling Vine with a satisfied smile on his face.

Being able to exchange a fighting skill that had no effect on him in exchange for the medicinal materials he needed, Elder Mu felt that he had made a profit from this transaction.

After greeting each other for a few words, Xiao Ling and Cao Ying said goodbye to Elder Mu and left.

Walking in the corridor of Dan Pagoda, Cao Ying pulled back a strand of hair and asked Xiao Ling: "Xiao Ling, are you planning to return to your residence in Shengdan City next? My Cao family is in Shengdan City. There are also some mansions in the city that can be loaned to you and your companions if you need them."

"No, thank you for your kindness." Xiao Ling declined with a smile, "I will leave Shengdan City in a while. I won't stay too long, so I won't bother you."

Haha, okay then. "Cao Ying chuckled. Although she heard that Xiao Ling would not stay in Shengdan City for a long time, a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she soon changed to a bright smile.

She moved slightly closer to Xiao Ling, staring straight at his side face with her charming peach blossom eyes, with a hint of playfulness in her tone: "Then while you are in Shengdan City, I can ask you for some advice. Is there a problem with alchemy? If I can learn from you, an eighth-level alchemy master, maybe I can improve my alchemy."

Xiao Ling didn't turn her head, she just stretched out a hand and gently put it in front of her cheek, cleverly keeping Cao Ying's head away.

Then he turned his head and said helplessly: "This matter can be... Let's go! But you don't have to get so close."

"Humph! None of the girls said anything!" Cao Ying protested softly, but a different meaning flashed in her eyes.

Over the years, as she became more and more beautiful, there were more and more eyes around her that disgusted her.

She is not an ordinary person, so she naturally understands what those men have in mind.

She felt disgusted and helpless towards those men who looked the same on the surface but had evil intentions behind their backs, because there were too many such people.

However, she unexpectedly developed a heartfelt affection for Xiao Ling.

Maybe it was because she had been the best among her peers for many years, but suddenly meeting someone who was far beyond her made her feel a little uneasy.

And Xiao Ling's eyes were different from ordinary people's. The way he looked at her did not have the desire and greed of those men, which made her feel a rare sense of comfort and respect.

This unique attitude made her affection for Xiao Ling continue to improve as she got along with Xiao Ling.

"You can come to me, but I have a condition." Xiao Ling suddenly stopped and turned to look at Cao Ying, with a trace of seriousness in his eyes.

Cao Ying was caught off guard by his sudden serious attitude. She blinked and asked curiously: "What are the conditions?"

"I hope that our communication will be limited to the knowledge of alchemy and medicinal materials. I don't want to involve other unnecessary things." Xiao Ling's voice was calm, but there was a tone that could not be refused.

Xiao Ling and Cao Ying got along fairly well, but he was still confused about Cao Ying's thoughts. After all, women like Cao Ying are very shrewd, and you may fall into her trap if you are not careful. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is more appropriate to maintain a certain distance.

Besides, there were two girls at home, and Xiao Ling didn't want to cause any uncontrollable situation due to a moment of carelessness.

Cao Ying was startled for a moment, then showed a nice smile: "I understand, don't worry, I, Cao Ying, am not the kind of person who is ignorant. Since you said so, let's just talk about alchemy."

Xiao Ling nodded, and the two continued walking along the corridor. Although Cao Ying accepted Xiao Ling's conditions on the surface, she was a little unconvinced in her heart.

She has been the center of attention since she was a child and has countless suitors, but no one has ever kept a distance from her like Xiao Ling.

Thoughts surged in her mind like a tide, and Cao Ying fell into her own endless thoughts again.

Could it be that Xiao Ling actually secretly likes me but doesn't dare to say it out loud, so he deliberately acts so coldly, trying to use this kind of playing hard to get tactic?
