Chapter 382 Su Li Conversation
On the spot, after Xiao Ling, Qing Lin and others left, the female disciples patrolling Sound Valley suddenly became lively and chattering away.
"That is Master Xiao Ling! I have heard that he is very young before, but I didn't expect that he is actually younger than the rumors, and he is so handsome! He is completely different from those eighth-level alchemists in my impression." A face The round female disciple said with stars in her eyes. As she spoke, she unconsciously clenched the hilt of the sword in her hand.
"Yes, yes!" The female disciple with a bun next to her hurriedly agreed, "I also heard that he broke through to Douzong before he was twenty years old. This talent is simply unbelievable, even better than our Ning Yuxi Senior sister is still powerful!"
"You said that Master Xiao Ling was personally invited by Senior Sister Ning Yuxi. Do they have any special relationship?" Another oval-faced female disciple blinked her big eyes and guessed with curiosity on her face.
When the other female disciples heard this, they all nodded, their eyes flashing with gossip. For a moment, the patrol matters were forgotten by them.
"Why are you all gathering here? Why don't you go on patrol!" Just when the topics of these female disciples were getting further and further, and they seemed to be unable to stop, an old woman appeared out of nowhere.
She frowned, her face full of majesty, her eyes swept across the group of chattering female disciples like lightning, and she shouted harshly, her voice containing powerful coercion, making the surrounding air seem to become solemn.
"Yes!" The female disciples were startled, and immediately became panicked and hurriedly dispersed. In the blink of an eye, the old woman was the only one left, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of the wind blew.
"Sigh, I don't know what Master Xiao Ling's abilities are, and whether he can heal the injuries caused by the Supreme Elder over the years..."
The old woman sighed deeply on the spot. As the sigh dissipated, her figure slowly disappeared into the air and disappeared.
…
In the Sound Valley, the sky is as blue as a wash, and three long rainbows streak across the sky like shooting stars, rushing towards the hinterland of the Sound Valley and the depths of the mountains.
In Changhong, it was Xiao Ling and others, with the patrolling female disciple from Yin Valley leading the way, and the journey was smooth.
In just ten minutes, Xiao Ling saw a palace in the distance that was different from the surrounding ones. The palace is elegant and refined, standing in front, exuding a peaceful and quiet atmosphere.
The surroundings of the temple were heavily guarded, and a group of disciples in uniforms stood neatly, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes. The leader of the guards was wearing a battle armor, with a heroic appearance, and his strong figure was even more capable in the armor. His short hair was neat and his face was stern, exuding an aura that was inviolable.
There are even more pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness, wary of even the slightest movement in all directions, as if no disturbance can escape their eyes.
The woman's delicate body flashed lightly, her flying route suddenly turned, and she rushed down towards the palace below like a bird, with graceful and neat posture.
Xiao Ling and others flashed forward and followed closely behind. They walked through the air, their clothes fluttering, and finally landed lightly on the ground.
Xiao Ling raised his eyes and looked at the palace in front of him. It was not huge in scale and was located here in a decent size.
However, just one glance shows how different it is from other buildings. The appearance of the palace is extremely exquisite, every carving is meticulous, every line is smooth and natural, and its level of exquisiteness far exceeds that of the surrounding buildings.
Even among this gorgeous and extraordinary building complex, it is still as eye-catching as the brightest star in the night sky.
The guards here had obviously received the news in advance. When the female disciple and Xiao Ling fell down, they did not move at all and did not stop them. There was no surprise in their eyes, but a respectful look. .
They separated neatly to both sides and made way for the three of them to pass.
The leading female disciple whispered a few words to a guard. The guard nodded slightly, with a hint of understanding in his eyes. Then, the female disciple greeted Xiao Ling and Qing Lin with a smile and walked towards the palace gate.
When Xiao Ling and the others arrived at the entrance of the hall, the two guards immediately stepped forward with solemn expressions and placed their hands firmly on the two doors.
Accompanied by the slight creaking sound of the door shaft turning, a melodious sound of the piano entered the ears like a flexible silk thread.
The sound of the piano seems to come from the depths of the years. When it is soothing, it is like a stream flowing quietly in the mountains and forests. It is crisp and sweet, ticking the soul; when it is exciting, it is like a horse galloping in the wilderness, with the sound of hoofbeats, but it is not lost. The elegant rhyme strikes the resonance deep in the soul, leading people into an ethereal and distant realm.
At the same time, as the breath circulated inside the hall, a faint fragrance came to the nostrils. The aroma is neither strong nor pungent, but has a faint sandalwood scent, as if it is a flavor accumulated over time. The fragrance and the sound of the piano complement each other perfectly, making people feel like they are in a fairyland far away from the world.
As the door is fully opened, the line of sight gradually becomes clearer, and the scene inside the hall gradually unfolds before your eyes. The main hall does not appear too grand, but every detail reveals exquisiteness and magnificence.
There are exquisite calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, each of which seems to contain profound cultural heritage. The floor is paved with lustrous marble, which is engraved with exquisite patterns, neither too cumbersome nor monotonous.
Xiao Ling looked along the sound of the piano and saw a woman sitting quietly in the center of the hall like a beautiful flower blooming outside the world.
The hands flick the strings, as if they are one with the piano. Her movements are elegant and smooth, and every note seems to flow directly from her fingertips, with an indescribable charm.
This woman looked to be about 25 or 26 years old. Her skin was like snow. Under the soft light of the hall, it glowed like mutton-fat jade, as if she could squeeze out water with just a pinch.
The delicate facial features are like a work of art carefully carved by God, and the eyebrows are like distant daisy, like ink ribbons dancing lightly in the mountains. When they are slightly frowned, they seem to contain endless emotions;
The eyes are like a deep pool, clear and bright with a profound look that has experienced all the world. They are like hiding thousands of flowers, and can attract people's soul deeply with just one glance.
The bridge of the nose is straight and small, like the purest jade peak on the top of the snow-capped mountains; the lips are smooth and red, like delicate roses blooming in spring, and the slightly raised corners of the mouth carry a hint of a smile that makes people feel like they are bathed in the spring breeze.
Her long hair hangs down to her waist like black satin, shimmering with luster, and a few strands of hair are playfully scattered on both sides of her cheeks, adding a bit of laziness and charm to her.
She just sat there quietly, with a graceful figure and elegant curves, like a beautiful sculpture. The lips were slightly raised, and an elegant smile gently bloomed on the face, as if the spring breeze was blowing across the lake, leaving layers of ripples.
The whole body exudes a unique temperament, which has the freshness and refinement of a girl and the charm and charm of a mature woman. These two qualities are perfectly integrated in her, forming a deep and charming attraction that makes people involuntarily attracted, and their eyes seem to be firmly locked and unable to look away.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling couldn't help but sigh. The beauty of this woman was like the most gorgeous treasure in the world, so beautiful that it was breathtaking. He has seen many stunning beauties, but he has never seen anyone like the woman in front of him. She seems to have an invisible force that can deeply pull people's hearts and souls.
After briefly marveling at the woman's peerless beauty, Xiao Ling quickly regained his composure and began to wonder about the woman's depth. Involuntarily, he released his soul perception and wanted to find out more.
Under the influence of the soul perception of Dzogchen in the spiritual realm, Xiao Ling easily detected the woman's cultivation level. She is much stronger than five-star heroes like Tang Zhen and Feng Xian, but compared with Xuan Kongzi, she lacks the majestic feeling. According to Xiao Ling's estimation, this woman is probably a high-level Dou Zun of around seven or eight stars.
What was somewhat beyond Xiao Ling's expectation was that this woman's soul cultivation was also quite solid, and she had at least reached the middle stage of the spiritual realm. Among ordinary practitioners, such soul power is already quite powerful.
As Xiao Ling and others entered, the fingertips of the stunning beauty paused lightly, and the sound of the piano suddenly stopped. She slowly raised her head, her eyes passed through the space of the hall and fell on Xiao Ling. There wasn't too much surprise in her eyes, just a faint look and a little curiosity.
Her movements were extremely graceful, as if even a simple turn of her head had an indescribable rhythm. She gently put down her hands, the trembling of the strings gradually subsided, and the entire hall fell into a kind of silence.
"A distinguished guest is here, and I am welcome from afar. My name is Suli, and I am the current master of the Sound Valley, Master Xiao Ling. I have long admired you." Her voice was like the sound of nature, crisp yet soft, and every word seemed to have been carefully crafted, making her feel like a guest. People feel relaxed and happy when they hear it.
Her eyes swept over Xiao Ling, Qing Lin and others one by one, and finally returned to Xiao Ling. She smiled slightly. The smile was like a flower blooming in spring, warm and dazzling, making people want to get close to him involuntarily.
"Xiao Ling from Xingyun Pavilion was invited by Miss Ning Yuxi to pay a special visit." Xiao Ling said, politely returning the greeting, his tone was steady and calm, neither humble nor arrogant at all, he smiled A compliment.
"Our Pavilion Master has mentioned the name of Master Su Gu before. He is a man of unparalleled splendor. I am lucky enough to see him today. He is really otherworldly and amazing."
Seeing this, Qing Lin on the side also hurriedly followed Xiao Ling's movements, slightly cupped his hands, bowed and bowed.
"When I was young, I traveled around the Zhongzhou Continent, and I was fortunate enough to have an encounter with the Master of Fengxian Pavilion. At that time, he was already the Deputy Pavilion Master of Xingyun Pavilion. In terms of qualifications, he can be regarded as mine. "Elders." Suli recalled with a smile, a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes.
"It's a pity that I wasn't able to catch a glimpse of Senior Yao Zun. Now, Senior Yao Zun's whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are uncertain. It's really disappointing." Speaking of this, Su Li's face couldn't help but reveal a smile. A look of regret.
Not only is it a pity that a generation of heroes has been wiped out, but what is even more regrettable is that if the whereabouts of Lord Yao had not been unknown, Yin Gu could have directly asked him to help refine the elixir.
I think back then, Master Yao was also a person with a bold personality, easy-going and not as arrogant as other alchemists. He was often willing to refine elixirs for others, so Master Yao had many friends in Zhongzhou and had many followers. If Yin Gu came to ask for help, Master Yao would certainly not refuse given his character.
"However, now that Xingyun Pavilion has a peerless genius like Master Xiao Ling who surpasses Master Yao, I believe that in the near future, Xingyun Pavilion will be able to regain its glory and even surpass its past glory." Su Li said, While turning his gaze to Xiao Ling, a trace of expectation flashed in his eyes.
Although he failed to ask Master Yao to help, the young alchemy master in front of him was equally extraordinary. Perhaps he could provide a solution to Yin Gu's current predicament.
After hearing this, both Xiao Ling and Qing Lin felt a little strange, but they did not show too obvious expressions.
The expression on Xiao Ling's face did not change, he smiled slightly, with a humble expression, and said with a cupped hand: "Master Su Gu is so complimentary, although I have some talent, but compared with Senior Yao Zun, I am still far behind.
"Master Xiao Ling is extremely humble, which is truly the behavior of a gentleman. However, the master does not need to be too modest. It is extraordinary to have such achievements at such an age. Su Li nodded slightly, the expectation in her eyes not diminishing.
After the two sides exchanged a few simple polite words, Suli got to the point.
"Now that things have happened, I won't beat around the bush. Ning Yuxi must have told Master Xiao Ling about the general situation before. Our Supreme Elder of Yin Valley is seriously injured and is in critical condition. He is in urgent need of something called Use the elixir of Lingyuan Fuheng Dan to heal your wounds.”
"But the refining of this elixir is extremely complicated. Because it requires the use of strange fire, there are only a handful of alchemists who can refine this elixir. Originally, we had made arrangements and planned to hire Valley Master Tang Zhen of Burning Flame Valley and Several experienced seventh-grade alchemists worked together to refine it."
"Fortunately, Yu Xi accidentally met Master Xiao Ling when he was out. Master Xiao Ling is now famous throughout the continent for his alchemy skills. He has also subdued the strange fire, and the master will refine this key elixir. Medicine is undoubtedly the best choice.”
Xiao Ling nodded solemnly, signaling Su Li to continue speaking, while thinking secretly in her heart. What kind of cultivation level does Supreme Elder Yin Gu have? The Master of Sound Valley is already a high-level Dou Zun, and the Taishang Elder must be at least at the peak level of Dou Zun. If it is such a powerful existence, then the seventh-grade high-grade elixir should have limited effect on it. Is there any hidden secret in it?
Su Li took a deep breath and continued: "Normally speaking, we Yingu should go to Xingyun Pavilion in person to ask for the elixir. This is the etiquette we should have. But this situation is extremely special. In order to successfully activate the spirit The efficacy of the Yuanfu Heng Dan requires the help of the alien fire to refine it, and the Supreme Elder is seriously injured and cannot move at all."
"Therefore, we can only trouble Master Xiao Ling to come to our Sound Valley with a very guilty heart. We at Sound Valley will bear in mind the inconvenience caused to you this time, and we hope that Master will forgive you. ”
As soon as Su Li finished speaking, she slowly stood up with a dignified expression. She walked steadily to Xiao Ling, squatted down lightly, placed her right hand on top of her left hand in front of her, then gently bent down to salute, her movements were neat and clean, showing her feminine gentleness.
Her movements were slow and graceful, and every detail was elegant. A few strands of hair fell from her forehead, adding a touch of softness. "For this matter, please rely on Master Xiao Ling."
Xiao Ling's eyes followed Su Li's movements closely, and he couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart when he saw her gracefully saluting.
At this moment, his fighting energy was running, and a soft and strong energy surged out of his body, holding Suli up steadily.
Then, Xiao Ling waved her hand, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, showed a gentle smile, and said in a calm and relaxed tone: "Master Suli Valley, you are too polite. I have an agreement with Miss Ning Yuxi from Guigu. , since I have agreed, I will never break your promise.”
"Besides, it's really no trouble for me to come to Sound Valley this time. I happened to be dealing with some things in Fenyan Valley before. It's a coincidence that Fenyan Valley and Sound Valley are not far apart. I came all the way here , It can be said that it is a sightseeing tour, which does not consume much energy on my part.”
Seeing Xiao Ling's calm expression and sincere eyes, Su Li felt the tight string in her heart loosen a little. Before, she was really a little worried. After all, in the eyes of the world, alchemists are mostly arrogant people. People always come to ask for elixirs. If they condescend to come to refine them, many people will be dissatisfied.
This stereotype is deeply ingrained in people's minds, and Suli has always been worried that Xiao Ling will be concerned about it, so she is so polite in her words and deeds.
However, at this moment, Xiao Ling's every move, word and deed made her feel relieved. As the rumors say, although Xiao Ling has amazing talent, he does not have the slightest arrogance of ordinary geniuses. It made her good impression of Xiao Ling grow even more.
"Master Xiao Ling, if you are so considerate, everyone in Yingu will remember this kindness." Suli leaned forward again to express her gratitude.
"Valley Master, thank you. Doctors have benevolence. Although I am not a professional doctor, as an alchemist, I should also have the feeling of helping the world and saving people." Xiao Ling said with a serious look and a sincere tone.
After a pause, Xiao Ling frowned slightly and asked with a bit of solemnity: "However, Master Suli Valley, there is something I don't know. Although I don't know the depth of the Taishang Elder's cultivation, seventh-grade elixirs are not suitable for such a strong person. It stands to reason that the effect is limited. I wonder if the Valley Master has an explanation for this?"
Listening to Xiao Ling's inquiry, Su Li nodded slightly and explained with a solemn expression: "Master Xiao Ling, although this Lingyuan Restoration Pill is only a seventh-grade high-level pill, it is extremely special and has the ability to be refined into an eighth-grade nine-color pill. potential.
"If you take the seventh-grade Lingyuan Restoration Pill, the Supreme Elder can rely on his profound cultivation to temporarily suppress the injury with the power of the pill so that it will not worsen within twenty years. But this is only a temporary solution after all. "The plan is like using a dam to block floods. It only provides temporary relief but does not fundamentally solve the problem."
"If it can be refined into an eighth-grade third-turn spiritual source rebalancing elixir, the situation will be completely different. An elixir of this quality has a certain probability of helping the Supreme Elder recover from his injuries. Moreover, the elixir's The better the quality, the better the recovery will be.”
