Chapter 331 Xun'er Leaves the Clan

In the following days in Shengdan City, Xiao Ling devoted himself to the practice of alchemy, which was basically equivalent to burning money, or, more accurately, burning medicinal materials.

No matter how outstanding the talent of an alchemist is, practical operation is always a crucial link.

And when it comes to practice, a large amount of medicinal materials are naturally indispensable. For an alchemist of Xiao Ling's level, even the medicinal materials used for practice are valuable.

If there is no strong background support, such consumption will indeed be daunting.

This is also one of the reasons why it becomes more difficult for many alchemists to improve after reaching a certain level.

However, for Xiao Ling, who has strong financial resources, this is not a big problem at all.

Whenever thinking of this, Xiao Ling had to sigh again that the practicality of the Palm of Heaven Bottle is really beyond words.

During this period, the sky near the Dan Tower often gathered Dan Lei, and the one who greeted these Dan Lei was the demon puppet with a golden luster all over his body.

At first, not many people knew that the puppet's owner was Xiao Ling, but as time went by, whenever people saw the puppet, most people understood that it was a signal that Xiao Ling was refining medicine.

Some people even came to the door, hoping to use some resources to exchange for a Heavenly Demon Puppet that could absorb thunder power to improve strength from Xiao Ling.

However, Xiao Ling's response to them was always the same. He got this puppet from the ruins and didn't have any extra to trade.

After a long time, no one came to ask Xiao Ling about the puppet.

...

Ancient clan, ancient world.

This is a mysterious world. The sky is always shrouded in layers of clouds and mist, giving people a dreamlike feeling.

The air here seems to be full of magic, and people can feel the flow of energy with every breath. Practicing here is absolutely effective.

Surrounded by rolling mountains, each of which is as steep as a masterpiece of nature.

Occasionally, a few streaks of light would streak across the sky. Those were the patrolling guards of the ancient clan flying by.

The powerful aura they exude would surely cause a lot of exclamation if they were in other places.

Among these peaks, there is a special peak, which is like a huge sword, piercing straight into the clouds.

Looking up, you can only see the layers of clouds and mist, and you can't see where the top of the mountain is at all.

On the top of this misty mountain, there is a round blue stone. On the blue stone, there is a beautiful woman sitting cross-legged and practicing, with her hands forming a seal for practice.

With her breathing, the energy of heaven and earth seemed to have life, circling in front of her nose for a long time.

This picture is like a living landscape painting, which makes people want to join in.

The beautiful figure is wearing a simple blue dress. Although it is not a luxurious dress, the fresh and refined temperament makes people feel happy when they see it.

She had a lavender silk tied around her waist, which made her slender waist look even more attractive.

Looking up, her face was peaceful and beautiful, and no one could find any flaws.

Her eyes carried an ethereal aura, as if she could see through people's hearts, and when people saw her, their worries and anger would unconsciously dissipate.

This woman gave people the feeling of a fairy descending to the earth, or a pure lotus in the world that was not stained by dust. She exuded an extraordinary temperament from head to toe.

She was like the kind of existence that could only be admired from afar and not easily approached. In front of her, many men might feel that they were not good enough, and even had some inferiority complex.

The energy of the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to particularly favor her. They hovered around her, like a group of stars surrounding the moon, and continued to flow into her body slowly with her thoughts...

This scene was like a vivid painting, which made people want to join in and feel the tranquility and harmony.

The time of cultivation always passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, an hour slipped away quietly. The girl's beautiful eyes, which were slightly closed, slowly opened.

As her eyes opened, a cluster of golden flames suddenly flashed, with an unusual sense of coercion, as if even the air around her became heavy because of this force.

Under the influence of this coercion, even the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to become a little hesitant, and a faint sense of uneasiness came from the air.

At this moment, a black figure quickly ran towards the girl. He looked up at the girl and couldn't help but exclaimed in his heart: "Miss Xun'er is really gifted. She has already broken through to the Dou Zun realm at a young age. It seems that in less than ten years, she will be able to step into the Dou Sheng realm at the top of the continent."

Suddenly, the girl on the mountain peak stood up gracefully, and her slender figure looked particularly charming in the sun. She turned her head slightly, glanced behind her, then smiled and said softly: "Old Ling, don't hide, come out."

The smile at that moment was stunningly beautiful, as if it was a beam of light itself, illuminating the surrounding world, adding a touch of bright color to the world here.

As soon as the girl finished speaking, the shadow behind her began to sway gently, and slowly, an old figure emerged from the shadow.

He bowed respectfully to the girl and said with a smile: "Miss, your perception is getting sharper and sharper. I just arrived here and you discovered me."

The girl did not react much to the flattery that could be heard from time to time. She casually fiddled with her scattered black hair and asked, "Mr. Ling, what are you doing here? If not, I don't want you to disturb my practice."

"If there is nothing, how dare I disturb the young lady's practice." The figure raised his head, revealing a face full of traces of time. He was Ling Ying, who had been Xun'er's bodyguard when she was in the Xiao family.

And who else could this girl with extraordinary temperament be if not Xun'er, whom Xiao Ling missed day and night?

"I have no interest in the affairs of the clan." Xun'er said casually, and she raised her jade hand lightly. The surrounding clouds began to gather in her palm, and gradually condensed into a handsome man's face. She stared at this face, and a rare gentle smile appeared on her beautiful face.

Hearing this, Ling Ying smiled, and then said with a hint of joking tone: "I think the lady will definitely be interested in what I am going to say next."

Xun'er's eyes still stayed on the man's face condensed by clouds and mist. After hearing Ling Ying's words, she turned her beautiful eyes slightly to him and said with a smile: "I hope so... Go ahead."

"According to the information I have heard from my subordinates, a super genius has recently emerged in Zhongzhou. He can refine an eighth-grade four-color pill at a young age, and his name is Xiao Ling..."

Ling Ying nodded while telling the news about Xiao Ling that he had spent a lot of effort to find out during this period.

Xun'er listened to Ling Ying's story quietly, her slender eyebrows gradually stretched out, and her eyes revealed a kind of gentleness that she had never shown in front of outsiders.

"I didn't expect that in just over two years, he has reached the peak of Dou Zong and can refine an eighth-grade four-color pill. He is worthy of being Brother Xiao Ling!" Xun'er sighed softly.

"Yes, Master Xiao Ling's talent is definitely the best among his peers. A nine-star Dou Zong at the age of eighteen, I'm afraid no one in the world can do it except you, young lady." Ling Ying said, and a look of emotion appeared on his old face.

"His cultivation speed is probably only matched by the Little Medical Fairy with the Evil Poison Body beside Master Xiao Ling. Even Qinglin with the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils is slightly inferior. However, the advantage of the Evil Poison Body is not infinite. Once you reach the Dou Zun level, the effect of the poison is not so significant. The efficiency of relying on poison to improve cultivation will also decrease. In comparison, Master Xiao Ling's advantage is more prominent."

When mentioning Little Medical Fairy and Qinglin, Xun'er thought of the two girls she met at Canaan College. She narrowed her eyes and her voice unconsciously took on a bit of inexplicable color.

"Little Medical Fairy, Qinglin, have they been with Brother Xiao Ling all the time? I haven't seen them for many years. It's time to meet them."

As soon as the voice fell, Xun'er suddenly turned around, with a rare expectation on her pretty face. She walked straight down the mountain with a firm step, without any hesitation.

"Pass the order, I'm ready to leave the ancient world!"

...

In a quiet courtyard, on both sides of the bluestone path, various exotic flowers and herbs sway gently in the breeze, exuding a faint fragrance, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet space.

In a corner of the courtyard, a simple medicine cauldron is quietly placed, and its existence seems to be integrated with the surrounding natural scenery.

In front of the medicine cauldron, a girl in a gorgeous black dress is directing attentively.

Her hands quickly change complex gestures in front of her chest, concentrating on manipulating the flame in the medicine cauldron.

The flame rises and falls, and becomes stronger and weaker with her guidance, accurately adjusting the temperature required for refining medicine.

The girl's face is thin, with a bit of natural charm, but at this moment her face looks a little pale, and fine beads of sweat quietly seep out of her forehead.

Obviously, this process of refining pills is a huge challenge for her, and it consumes a lot of her energy.

However, such a scene gave her a different kind of delicate beauty, which made people feel pity.

Inside the medicine cauldron, the red flame was jumping lively under the control of the girl, as if it had its own life.

And in the flame, an oval-shaped pill was slowly nurturing. Obviously, it has now reached the most critical stage of refining the pill.

At the critical moment when the embryo pill in the medicine cauldron was about to be refined into a pill, a strong energy fluctuation that almost made people's heartbeats stop suddenly broke out from the inside of the medicine cauldron, as if some mysterious power was about to break out of the shell.

At this critical moment when the tension seemed to freeze even the air, the handsome man standing behind the woman who was concentrating on refining medicine suddenly made a move.

He looked calm, as if he had expected all this. He just raised his hand lightly, as if drawing an invisible circle in the air.

As he moved, an invisible soul power slowly flowed out from his brow like flowing water, with an almost indescribable subtle fluctuation.

Right above the medicine cauldron, this soul power quickly condensed and formed a soul vortex that was invisible to the naked eye.

This vortex rotated silently, as if connected to another unknown dimension, emitting an unsettling energy aura.

If someone used soul power to perceive, they would find that this vortex was full of spiritual energy particles, which seemed to be pulled by some force and were constantly converging towards the pill in the medicine cauldron that was about to take shape.

Facing this sudden scene, the woman in black dress did not show any surprise. Her eyes were particularly focused, staring directly at the elixir in the medicine cauldron, with a strong look of expectation in her eyes.

Obviously, such a scene was discussed by the two in advance.

The unformed elixir in the medicine cauldron, after absorbing the spiritual energy, emitted brighter and brighter light, and the energy fluctuations became more and more intense, as if something was gathering momentum inside. Hair, ready to transform at any time.

At the moment when it reached a critical point, the elixir seemed to pause slightly, and then shook violently.

Although it looks the same on the outside, if you look closely, you will find that it seems to have an indescribable sense of mystery.

This elixir has undergone earth-shaking changes from before.

Just after the elixir completed its transformation, suddenly, an unprecedentedly powerful energy beam burst out from the medicine cauldron.

This wave of fluctuation was like a sharp sword, shooting straight into the sky, and even scattered all the clouds in the sky.

The originally clear sky suddenly turned gloomy, and dark clouds quickly gathered to form a thundercloud, as if the heavens were also moved by the birth of this elixir.

In the thunder clouds, lightning flashed, and several bolts of lightning pierced the sky like the wrath of the gods.

As the thunderclouds continued to roll, two colors of green and red began to appear in the clouds, which were intertwined and looked particularly dazzling.

This is a unique sign for an eighth-grade elixir, which means that this elixir has successfully entered the eighth-grade colored level.

Such a spectacular sight cannot escape the eyes of the residents of Shengdan City. One by one, they stopped what they were doing, looked up at the dark cloudy sky, and couldn't help but marvel.

Some newcomers to Shengdan City were confused by this and didn't know what was going on.

At this time, passers-by would enthusiastically tell them that this was the recently famous number one genius alchemist in Zhongzhou, and Xiao Ling was refining the elixir.

These days, such scenes are common in Shengdan City. The residents thought it was new at first, but as time went by, they gradually became accustomed to such shocking scenes.

In the courtyard, Cao Ying felt exhausted, as if all her energy had been drained away after refining the elixir.

Her body was so weak that she almost fell down, but just when she was about to lose her balance, a warm embrace caught her firmly and prevented her from falling.

She leaned on that solid chest and felt the power behind her. At the same time, a unique smell mixed with the aroma of medicinal herbs and masculinity lingered on the tip of her nose.

This gave Cao Ying a feeling of peace of mind, but she was only stunned for a moment, and her attention was quickly attracted by other things.

Her eyes were intense, staring closely at the elixir in the medicine cauldron and the blue and red thunderclouds in the sky.

Her face was filled with excitement and pride, and she couldn't hide the excitement in her voice as she said, "Gee~ I didn't expect that I actually refined the eighth-grade elixir myself!"

"Congratulations to you. You can refine an eighth-grade elixir at the age of eighteen. This is an achievement worth showing off for a lifetime." Xiao Ling supported Cao Ying and said jokingly with a relaxed smile on her face. .

Cao Ying's mood gradually calmed down. She turned her head and her eyes fell on Xiao Ling's handsome face that could make many women fall in love at first sight.

She raised a smile that was both pure and slightly charming, and replied softly: "Don't laugh at me. If it weren't for the soul-boosting pill you gave me before, and your help, It was difficult for me to refine a seventh-grade elixir before."

"You gave me a satisfactory reward for that pill. This can be regarded as mutual benefit." Xiao Ling shook his head gently and continued, "With your current soul power at the peak of the mortal realm, coupled with your talent, you can be promoted It’s only a matter of time before you reach the spiritual realm. With your medicine refining skills, it will be easy to refine eighth-grade elixirs.”

As Xiao Ling spoke, he waved his hand casually and summoned his Celestial Demon Puppet. This puppet, with its whole body shimmering with golden luster, immediately appeared next to him, looking particularly eye-catching.

"go."

After receiving the order, the Sky Demon Puppet didn't hesitate at all. Its figure instantly turned into a golden light, soaring straight into the sky to meet the pill thunder that struck down from the dark clouds.

The movements of the Heavenly Demon Puppet were swift and precise, and every time he made a move, he intercepted the thunder and lightning at the right time, absorbing them one by one and turning them into his own use.

Under the sky shrouded by dark clouds, thunder and lightning intertwined, and energy spread like a tide, creating a heart-stopping scene. The noise in the sky was so intense that it seemed as if the whole world was trembling.

But under the impact of this wild energy, the two people on the ground seemed extremely calm, as if the raging energy was just a breeze to them.

Apart from their robes being blown by the overflowing air, they were hardly affected in any way.

Leaning in Xiao Ling's warm embrace, Cao Ying quietly looked up at the surging thunderclouds in the sky.

A faint smile unconsciously appeared on her lips, as if she was moved by this spectacular natural scene.

With the breeze blowing, Cao Ying retracted her gaze from the sky, raised her hand, and gently touched the side of Xiao Ling's face.

At this moment, Cao Ying was filled with unprecedented emotions. She didn't quite understand the origin of this emotion, but she knew that the man in front of her had been deeply imprinted in her heart and could not be erased...
