Chapter 370: Burning Flame Valley

Xiao Ling and Qing Lin followed Elder Chihuo and jumped off the giant bird's back. Their eyes quickly swept around. In front of them stood two magnificent red giant mountains, which were tightly attached to each other, as if they were a pair of guardians. A winding stone staircase started from the foot of the mountain, winding up to the top of the mountain.

Not far in front of the stone staircase, there seemed to be a subtle fluctuation in the air. It was a shocking spatial fluctuation, suggesting that there was an unknown secret hidden there.

Elder Chihuo led the way in front, and they walked up the stone staircase step by step. Finally, at the end of the stone staircase, they stopped.

In front of them was a space barrier. Qing Lin gently touched it with his palm. In an instant, a strong reaction force surged out like a tide.

"This space barrier is really hard, much stronger than the star realm of Xingyun Pavilion." Qing Lin shook his numb hands, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Of course, Qing Lin was referring to the previous star realm. Since Yao Chen broke through and became a Dou Sheng and came out of retreat again, he personally strengthened the defense of the star realm. The current star realm is so strong that it is incomparable.

Elder Chihuo laughed and revealed pride in his words: "This space barrier has been personally reinforced by the masters of the Burning Flame Valley in all generations. Its strength is enough to withstand the full force of the Dou Zun strongman. The general Dou Zong can't shake it at all."

Although he is only an elder in the valley, he still has some knowledge of the history of the Burning Flame Valley. It is said that the Burning Flame Valley once gave birth to Dou Sheng strongmen, and the space where this headquarters is located was opened up by those Dou Sheng predecessors.

As for the star realm of Xingyun Pavilion, he has also heard about it. Although it is also a special space, it is far inferior to the space of the Burning Flame Valley opened up by the Dou Sheng himself.

Elder Chihuo said nothing more. He took out a fiery red jade token from the ring and gently pressed it on the space barrier. The jade token was about to explode, and a mysterious wave spread out. The indestructible space barrier slowly opened up...

"Master Xiao Ling, and this lady, please come in!"

The space barrier was already opened, and Elder Chihuo showed a kind smile to Xiao Ling and Qing Lin, then he jumped lightly and stepped into the transparent space barrier almost silently.

The moment he stepped in, his figure became strangely blurred, and then disappeared in front of the two people.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling held Qing Lin's hand, and the two walked forward together. Their steps were unhurried, and they walked straight towards the space crack that was flashing with mysterious light.

Xiao Ling crossed the space crack, and the world in front of him suddenly became as bright as day. He subconsciously squinted his eyes, and then slowly opened them, and the scene in front of him gradually became clear.

Passing through the space barrier, a long bluestone staircase appeared in front of him.

On both sides of the stone staircase, there was unexpectedly a vibrant green shade, and the lush trees were flashing the light of life in the sun.

Looking around, the silhouettes of several buildings can be vaguely seen among the green shades. Occasionally, there are subtle human voices floating from afar, gently echoing in this bottomless valley, adding a bit of human fireworks.

"Look at this Burning Flame Valley, it is simply a world of its own, worthy of being one of the three famous valleys..."

Xiao Ling stood on this unique land of Burning Flame Valley and couldn't help but admire the strange scenery in front of him.

Inside and outside the barrier, it seems to be two completely different worlds, each independent and unique.

"Haha, Master Xiao Ling, you are too kind," Elder Chihuo waved his hand modestly, "All this is the grace left by our ancestors, we are just lucky to inherit it."

Although Burning Flame Valley was once one of the five peak Dou Sheng inheritances and was once prominent. However, today, it is no longer the top group of forces in Zhongzhou.

Xiao Ling and Elder Chihuo were chatting, and suddenly bursts of rapid wind breaking sounds came from the forest beside the stone steps. In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen agile figures flew out of the forest and landed lightly around the stone steps.

As soon as their eyes met Elder Chihuo, the alertness on their faces immediately faded, and then they all bowed to the elder in a respectful manner.

These figures were all dressed in bright red clothes. Although they were young, the fighting spirit emanating from their bodies was extremely strong, at least at the level of high-level fighting spirits.

They were all disciples of the Burning Flame Valley. They were not only talented, but also had solid cultivation. These young faces showed a kind of confidence and perseverance, and they were obviously elite people who had undergone rigorous training.

"Master Xiao Ling, Miss Qinglin, let's go."

Elder Chihuo smiled at Xiao Ling and Qinglin, and then his body swayed slightly, his toes touched the air, and the whole person seemed to be weightless, and flew lightly into the depths of the valley.

Xiao Ling and Qing Lin were not far behind. They stepped into the air easily under the surprised eyes of the disciples of Fenyan Valley and followed closely behind Elder Chihuo.

"Hey, did you see that those two are also Dou Zong? They are so young and have reached this level?"

"I guess they are probably transformed monsters. I heard that some monsters can choose their own appearance after transforming, and they don't age easily."

"You idiots, stop talking nonsense. Didn't you hear Elder Chihuo also call that guy Master Xiao Ling? You don't even know Master Xiao Ling?"

"Wow, it's Master Xiao Ling! I heard that he reached the Douzong realm before he was twenty years old, and he is a genuine eighth-level alchemist. A year has passed, and his cultivation has definitely improved a lot. , maybe much better than some elders."

"This talent is simply unbelievable. If I could have half, no, one-tenth of Master Xiao Ling's talent, I would be able to laugh out of my dreams."

"Look, the girl next to Master Xiao Ling is young, at most seventeen or eighteen years old, younger than our Miss Huo'er. But she is also a Dou Zong, and her talent seems to be even greater than that of Miss Huo'er. It’s more powerful.”

"Well, he must be one of Master Xiao Ling's people. With an eighth-grade alchemist by his side, his cultivation speed is of course very fast. It's really enviable."

Xiao Ling didn't seem to pay attention to the whispers around him, while Qing Lin, although a little shy, behaved quite calmly.

They followed closely behind Elder Chihuo, and after flying for a few minutes, they began to descend slowly, and finally landed smoothly in front of a dazzling red hall.

In the center of the valley, various buildings are scattered in an orderly manner. The busy figures of Fenyan Valley disciples dressed in red can be seen everywhere. Occasionally, there are a few cheers during the competition, which adds a lot of vitality to this peaceful valley.

At this moment, several serious Fenyan Valley disciples were standing outside the door of the Fire Red Hall. Their eyes were sharp and they were constantly scanning the surroundings to ensure that everything was safe.

"Master Xiao Ling, Miss Qinglin, wait a moment," Elder Chihuo said to the two of them with a smile, "I have to inform the Valley Master first, and then come to greet you all."

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Chihuo turned and walked into the heavily guarded hall. Qinglin stood next to Xiao Ling, looking at the surrounding environment curiously, her eyes flashing with novelty and expectation for everything here.

"Haha, Master Xiao Ling is here in person, Tang is really rude, he didn't come out to greet him in advance!

In less than three minutes, with a "creak" sound, the door of the main hall slowly opened, and a middle-aged man with a tall figure, flowing red hair, and gorgeous red-flame clothing came out.

This middle-aged man always has a warm smile on his face, but Xiao Ling and Qing Lin both know that this important figure in Zhongzhou must not be underestimated.

This old man's name is Tang Zhen. He is the current owner of Fenyan Valley, one of the three major valleys in Zhongzhou, and a five-star Dou Zun level expert.

With his unique skills of the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire, it is said that he can briefly compete with Douzong when he is in the Douzong realm.

Now, his cultivation level has reached the level of Five-Star Dou Zun, and his combat power cannot be underestimated. Next to Tang Zhen, in addition to the masters and elders of Burning Flame Valley, there was also a woman in red who stood out. She stood opposite Qing Lin. Their beauty was comparable, but each had its own merits.

The woman in red was wearing a bodysuit with a long dark red whip wrapped around her waist, which outlined her slender and alluring waist. Her appearance is outstanding, her eyebrows reveal a heroic spirit, and her fiery red outfit makes her look heroic and unique.

This woman was none other than Tang Zhen's only daughter, the apple of Fenyan Valley's eye, and Tang Huo'er who had briefly fought against Xiao Ling.

At this time, Tang Huo'er's eyes fell on Xiao Ling opposite, with some complicated emotions intertwined in his eyes.

Xiao Ling seemed to feel Tang Huo'er's gaze, and after looking at her for a moment, he gently looked away.

The owner of the Burning Flame Valley went out to greet him in person and was so humble and polite. Naturally, Xiao Ling would not put on any airs. He clasped his fists slightly and said with a smile: "Haha, Valley Master Tang, I have been honored by my name for a long time, Xiao Ling is polite here. Our Fengxian Pavilion Master of Xingyun Pavilion even specially asked me to say hello to Valley Master Tang!"

"Haha, Master Feng and I haven't seen each other for a long time. If you have a chance, I must have a few drinks with Master Feng." Tang Zhen waved his hand and said enthusiastically.

Afterwards, Tang Zhen walked in front and personally led Xiao Ling and Qing Lin into the hall. As he walked, he said, "Master Xiao Ling, Miss Qing Lin, please come inside. Huo'er's situation happened suddenly this time. I I made a temporary announcement and invited several alchemists to come over. I didn’t expect that Master Xiao Ling would be interested in this matter and come in person.”

Nearly ten people were already sitting in the main hall, most of them wearing alchemist robes. It could be seen from their weathered faces that these people were no longer young people.

Their expressions were calm, and even though they were in the headquarters hall of Burning Flame Valley, they could not see any embarrassment.

On the contrary, they all had a look of pride more or less on their faces, as if they were quite content with their identity and status as alchemists.

But think about it, the reactions of these alchemists are also reasonable. In Dou Qi Continent, alchemists already enjoy a very high status.

These alchemists had been entertained by Tang Zhen personally before. As soon as Elder Chihuo came in, Tang Zhen led a group of elders to personally greet them. This naturally aroused their great interest.

At this moment, many people's eyes turned to the entrance of the hall, curious about what would happen next.

"Look, the Lord of Fenyan Valley is personally leading the way. How proud is this? Who is this prominent person?"

"This guy looks young and doesn't have the badge of an alchemist on his body. Could he be a young man from a big family?"

"You old guy, do you have bad eyesight? You can't even recognize Master Xiao Ling's face? Master Xiao Ling is the youngest eighth-level alchemy master recorded in the Dan Pagoda."

"What? Master Xiao Ling? He actually came here in person!"

"Being able to see Master Xiao Ling with my own eyes makes my trip worthwhile."

…

The dozen or so alchemists in the main hall who were well-known in the Central Territory couldn't help but be surprised when they saw Xiao Ling walking in. The arrogance on their faces seemed to have been blown away by the wind, and disappeared without a trace in an instant. They all became respectful and did not even dare to breathe out.

In front of Xiao Ling, a well-deserved eighth-grade alchemist, these alchemists, who were only at the highest level of seventh-grade, were naturally dwarfed by them and did not dare to show any slights.

Since more than a year ago, Xiao Ling first emerged in the Northern Territory and became famous. Immediately afterwards, he went straight to the Danta headquarters. In that solemn place, witnessed by the three giants of the Danta and a group of elders, Xiao Ling showed off his skills and successfully refined the eighth-grade and four-color elixir.

Amidst the exclamations, President Xuan Kongzi personally put on him the badge of the eighth-grade alchemist, marking his official becoming an eighth-grade alchemist. At the same time, he also set a new record in the Alchemy Pagoda and became the youngest eighth-grade alchemist in history. Grandmaster.

Not long after that, Master Xiao Ling joined Xingyun Pavilion, one of the Sifang Pavilions, for some unknown reason. During this period of time, many powerful men came here, hoping to get elixirs from him.

In every transaction, as long as both parties reach an agreement, the person asking for elixirs will always get what they want and leave with a satisfied smile. After these powerful men returned with satisfactory elixirs, as word of mouth spread among these people, Xiao Ling's reputation as master of alchemy also increased and spread even louder.

After all, turning to an alchemist to refine the elixir not only requires personally collecting medicinal materials and preparing generous rewards, but the probability of successful refining cannot be guaranteed, because even a highly skilled alchemist cannot achieve a 100% success rate.

If the medicinal materials you provide fail to be refined into elixirs in the end, then these losses can only be borne by the person seeking the elixirs themselves. This risk is a reality that every person seeking elixir must face.

However, there has never been a rumor that those powerful people who went to Xingyun Pavilion to look for "Xiao Ling" to refine eighth-grade elixirs returned empty-handed. This point proves from the side that "Xiao Ling" has superb skills in refining medicine and has a high success rate.

In fact, most of them arrived at Burning Flame Valley early, but Valley Master Tang Zhen always said that they had to wait for an important person to arrive before they could start. At first, they complained about this kind of waiting, and they were more or less dissatisfied.

However, when they learned that the person they were waiting for turned out to be this distinguished man, their previous dissatisfaction instantly disappeared and was replaced by respect and admiration.

"Master Xiao Ling, and this young lady, please take a seat!"

Tang Zhen personally invited Xiao Ling and Qing Lin to the position of honored guests, second only to him, the master of the Burning Flame Valley. As an eighth-level medicine refining master, Xiao Ling's status is self-evident, and he is not inferior to Tang Zhen, the Valley Master.

Although Qing Lin is young, he is already at least a master of the Five-Star Dou Sect. He is obviously a young genius and Xiao Ling's companion. Therefore, Tang Zhen gave the two of them the highest courtesy.

"Masters, I, Tang Zhen, have summoned you all here. I believe you all know what I am doing. I am here to refine an elixir. The quality of this elixir is of the seventh grade."

As soon as Tang Zhen finished speaking, the faces of the alchemy masters in the hall could not help but change slightly, some were surprised, some were thoughtful, but Xiao Ling still maintained a calm expression.

The seventh-grade elixir, and the seventh-grade high-level elixir, is undoubtedly a big challenge for most of the sixth-grade alchemists present. Except for Xiao Ling, the two strongest masters could barely refine seventh-grade intermediate elixirs at most. They all know these seventh-grade high-level elixirs, and they know that they are probably powerless to use them.

The two guest elders from the Dan Pagoda exchanged glances with each other, and then the alchemist known as Master Huan said: "Master Tang, please forgive me for being frank, seventh-grade high-level elixirs, such high-level elixirs, Even the two of us are helpless. I am afraid that only Master Xiao Ling can accomplish this task personally. "

As he spoke, Master Huan slightly bowed in the direction of Xiao Ling. Although he was old enough to be Xiao Ling's elder, in the art of refining medicine, he was respected for his strength. Xiao Ling's alchemy skills far surpassed his own, so he naturally treated him with courtesy, and his heart was full of sincere admiration for Xiao Ling, a young genius.

"I came here this time mainly to make sure that nothing goes wrong. My requirements are quite strict, so Valley Master Tang Zhen invited you to try it out to see if you are qualified." Xiao Ling caressed the soft body of the little Diao in his arms. Mao Mao raised his head and glanced at the man lightly, then calmly looked away and said lightly,

"If you cannot meet the standards of Tang Zhen Valley Master, then I will have to take action myself. Of course, if you really get to that point, the things I need may have to be borne by Fenyan Valley."

After everyone listened to Xiao Ling's words, they suddenly realized that they had invited the eighth-grade alchemy master Xiao Ling, and also summoned them, the seventh- and sixth-grade alchemists, because Master Xiao Ling's conditions were too difficult. Tang Zhengu The Lord probably wanted to see if these alchemists, who were not so demanding, could successfully complete the task.

Understanding this, the eyes of these alchemists became complicated, and they all looked at Tang Zhen with a hint of dissatisfaction. It seems that what Fenyan Valley is doing is indeed a bit unacceptable.

Being stared at by so many pairs of strange eyes. Tang Zhen also felt a little embarrassed...
