Chapter 393 Sound Valley Treasure House

"A large amount of poison has accumulated in the body of Taishang Elder Guigu. I used eighth-grade elixirs and strange fires to refine it, and then a large amount of pure energy was produced. You have also seen what happened later. Elder Taishang used the help of These energies successfully broke through to the Dou Sheng realm."

"And I also got a little bit of light, absorbed some of the remaining energy in details, and my cultivation level improved slightly. As for the whereabouts and motives of the Supreme Elder, I really don't know that."

Hearing Su Li's inquiry, Xiao Ling felt a little strange in his heart, but his face remained calm. He narrated it in an understated manner, trying to make things sound as relaxed as possible while skillfully bypassing some sensitive details.

Xiao Ling naturally knew everything about what happened during the treatment, but Xiao Ling was not stupid, so how could he tell such things outside.

As for Chu Wanqing's sudden departure from Sound Valley after breaking through the Dou Sheng, Xiao Ling was a little confused. He really didn't know why Chu Wanqing did this, nor did he understand her real motive for leaving.

After hearing Xiao Ling's words, Su Li felt a trace of disappointment on her face. She sighed softly, knowing in her heart that after all, the relationship between the Supreme Elder and Xiao Ling was not particularly close.

If the Supreme Elder didn't even reveal it to the people from Yingu, then Xiao Ling is unlikely to know the inside story, which is reasonable.

Immediately, Suli quickly calmed down, with a faint smile on her face, and did not ask any more about what happened before. "Master Xiao Ling, thank you for your answer. Since you have helped the Supreme Elder heal his injuries as agreed, you can take your pick of our Sound Valley's treasures."

"Haha, Master Suli Valley is so polite." Xiao Ling nodded lightly, with a smile flashing in his eyes, "It's been a long time since I came out this time. I really should go back to Xingyun Pavilion to have a look, otherwise they will worry about me. "

Su Li smiled warmly and nodded in agreement. Her voice was elegant but also gentle: "It is true. As an eighth-grade alchemy master, Master Xiao Ling's time is precious. Of course we in Yingu will not take it lightly. Delay your time."

Immediately, Suli's eyes slowly moved to the side and fell on the elegant Ning Yuxi. She said calmly: "Ning Yuxi, since you are the one who invited Master Xiao Ling to the Sound Valley, then please lead me. Master Xiao Ling, go to the treasure house. Among the treasures in Sound Valley, Master Xiao Ling can choose at will. Make sure you feel at home."

With such a good thing in front of him, Xiao Ling naturally had no reason to refuse. I remember that when I was in Burning Flame Valley, I was lucky enough to find some treasures. As one of the three valleys, Sound Valley must have many rare treasures hidden in its treasure house, and Xiao Ling was quite looking forward to it.

Xiao Ling slightly cupped her hands to Su Li, smiled in greeting, then turned to look at Ning Yuxi, and said in an easy-going tone:

"Then please, Miss Yuxi, please lead the way. Please guide me to the treasure house."

At this time, Ning Yuxi had taken off the veil she usually wore, revealing her exquisite and almost perfect facial features. Her eyebrows were like green feathers, and her muscles were like white snow. She exuded an ethereal and unearthly aura.

Hearing Xiao Ling's words, she glanced at Su Li lightly, and when she saw her nodding slightly, she responded with a soft voice:

"Master Xiao Ling, please follow me. I will take you to the treasure house, where you can choose the treasure you like."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Yuxi gracefully stretched out her hand in a gesture of invitation, then turned around slightly and walked towards the exit of the hall. Xiao Ling looked back at Qinglin, nodded slightly, and motioned for her to follow him.

Qing Lin understood and said a simple hello to Su Li, then naturally held Xiao Ling's hand and followed him closely. A smile appeared on Xiao Ling's face, and she gently held Qinglin's little hand back. The two of them followed Ning Yuxi's footsteps and left this magnificent palace.

Just as the three figures disappeared around the corner of the hall, another woman's figure slowly stepped out from the shadows of the hall. She looked straight at Su Li and couldn't help but ask:

"Girl Suli, our Yingu treasure house contains countless secrets. Isn't it a bit too casual to let people get involved in it so easily? Those skills and fighting skills have been accumulated by generations of Yingu ancestors. A valuable asset.”

"Even though this Master Xiao Ling relieved Yingu's urgent need and healed his junior sister's injuries, judging from his previous words, didn't he also gain a lot from his junior sister?"

Looking carefully, the woman who was speaking was wearing a luxurious green palace dress. Although her face was a bit cold, she exuded a cold aura.

Her skin is still delicate and smooth, as if time has not left any trace on it. Although her appearance is no longer as gorgeous as it was when she was young, her unique charm is even stronger.

"Great Elder, we have discussed this matter with Master Xiao Ling before. As the Valley Master of Sound Valley, I will naturally not break my promise. If Master Xiao Ling had not come to help, the Supreme Elder would not only have difficulty recovering from his injuries, but also want to Breaking through to the Dou Sheng realm is even more out of reach.”

Su Li responded softly, her words revealing her recognition of Xiao Ling and her consideration for the future.

"Moreover, Master Xiao Ling has already made great achievements at a young age, and his future potential is undoubtedly huge. I think we should take this opportunity to establish friendly relations with him."

After listening to Su Li's words, the great elder nodded slightly and thought for a while. She certainly has good eyesight, and she has already seen through that Xiao Ling's talent is extraordinary. As long as he can grow up safely without setbacks, it is a foreseeable result that he will become a top powerhouse or a top figure in the medicine refining world in the future.

After a brief thought, the elder nodded and said, "You are right. This young man named Xiao Ling is indeed extraordinary. His talent is unrivaled in his generation. It is only a matter of time before he becomes a ninth-grade alchemist. It is a good thing that we in Yin Valley can establish friendship with him."

She paused slightly, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and then said, "You have a proud disciple. She seems to have had dealings with Xiao Ling for a long time. As a master, you can consider bringing them together at the right time."

"If the two of them can get together, our Yin Valley will not only be expected to add a ninth-grade alchemist, but also have a Dou Sheng strongman like my junior sister as a trump card. In this way, the prosperity of Yin Valley in the future will last for hundreds of years."

Su Li heard this and nodded gently, with a thoughtful look in her eyes. She knew that the elder's words were not without reason. Xiao Ling's talent and potential were indeed impressive, and if his relationship with Ning Yuxi could go further, it would undoubtedly be a great help to Yin Valley.

"I will seriously consider the elder's suggestion." Su Li spoke slowly, with a hint of caution in her tone, "Master Xiao Ling is indeed a talent, and his future is limitless. As for Ning Yuxi, she is my proud disciple, and I also hope that she can have a better future."

Seeing Su Li's response, the elder nodded with satisfaction. She knew that Su Li was a far-sighted valley master who had a clear plan for the future of Yin Valley.

"Well, in that case, I won't say any more." The elder said at last, "You have always been cautious in doing things, I believe you will handle it well."

...

"Alas, Senior Sister always values ​​interests so much. Perhaps it is because of this character that she has remained at the level of Nine-Turn Dou Zun all these years."

On the top of a lonely peak in Yin Valley, a woman in white stood elegantly. Her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate many obstacles and look directly at the scene in the main hall, taking in everything that happened there.

"However, Su Li, this girl, actually thought of hastily betrothing the most outstanding young disciple in Yin Valley to that hateful kid. It's really nonsense. It seems that I need to give her a good guide in the future, so that she can understand how to become a qualified valley master. I absolutely cannot accept such a rash decision..."

...

After walking out of the main hall, Ning Yuxi took the lead and walked in front, guiding the direction for Xiao Ling and Qing Lin. Along the way, whenever they met disciples of Yin Valley, they would automatically make way for the three of them, and their eyes showed respect for them.

Since Ning Yuxi's personality tends to be cold, she doesn't often take the initiative to join the conversation. On this road, Qinglin and Xiao Ling's conversations came and went, and Ning Yuxi only occasionally interrupted. Although she didn't say much, she was always polite and decent whenever she spoke, so the atmosphere didn't become awkward.

After walking for about ten minutes, Ning Yuxi led Xiao Ling to a heavily guarded hall. With his keen soul power, Xiao Ling clearly felt that there were at least dozens of hidden eyes, like sharp arrows, tightly locking all the movements here.

If anyone dared to trespass here, they would definitely be hit head-on by these people, but Xiao Ling didn't care. One was his own strength, and the other was that Ning Yuxi had already stepped forward to negotiate.

When everyone saw Ning Yuxi's face clearly, the vigilance in the eyes of those disciples who were conspicuously performing guard duties in front of the hall gradually melted away, and instead showed deep respect. And those prying eyes that were secretly cast here were also retracted one by one.

The three people did not show much surprise at this scene. Then, Ning Yuxi calmly took out half of the jade card from the ring on her finger and bowed gently to the front.

Not long after, the air seemed to be moved by an invisible hand, and a slight wave of fluctuations appeared. An old woman in a white robe appeared in front of everyone silently. She first nodded to Ning Yuxi gently, and then reached out to take out half of the jade card from her bosom.

When the two jade cards touched, they were directly and tightly combined into one, without even a trace of gap.

The old woman in the gray robe kept a calm look in her eyes and was not surprised by the scene in front of her.

Then, she turned her eyes to the direction of Xiao Ling and the other two, and her voice was gentle and kind:

"Everything is fine, Yuxi girl, go in... Master Xiao Ling, thank you for curing the toxins in the body of the Supreme Elder. I hope you can choose something satisfactory."

Xiao Ling nodded gently, thinking to himself that this old woman's qualifications in the Valley of Sound seemed to be extraordinary. She even knew about Chu Wanqing's affairs. I really don't know how many years she has experienced in this Valley of Sound.

With a "creak!" The door of the palace slowly opened in front of the shining jade plate, and Ning Yuxi led the way in.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling took Qinglin and followed closely, and followed Ning Yuxi across the threshold.

As soon as he entered the palace door, Xiao Ling's eyes were immediately attracted by a bottomless passage. The ground and walls on both sides of the passage were inlaid with white stone bricks.

He couldn't help but release his soul power to explore the surroundings, but he didn't expect that these white stone bricks suddenly flashed a soft fluorescence, as if responding to his soul power and swallowing it.

Noticing this movement, Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Ning Yuxi noticed Xiao Ling's reaction, tilted her head slightly, and explained in the same cold tone as before: "These are all soul-melting stones. They have the property of absorbing soul power. This design is to prevent outsiders from deliberately breaking in, so that they can be discovered and take measures in time. After all, this is an important place in Yin Valley, and the security measures must be stricter."

"So these are soul-melting stones. I only heard about them before, but I didn't expect to see them with my own eyes today, and there are so many..." Xiao Ling touched his chin, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Soul-melting stones can not only absorb soul power, but also block perception, and their defense is also quite strong. Looking at the densely packed soul-melting stones in the passage, Xiao Ling estimated in his heart that even an ordinary Dou Zun would have to spend some effort to break the defense here. From this, it can be seen that the family background of Yin Valley is indeed extraordinary.

Ning Yuxi waved her hand lightly, and a burst of energy surged out. The oil lamps on both sides of the passage lit up one after another, and the flames swayed, gradually dispelling the darkness around.

"Master Xiao Ling, this way please," Ning Yuxi's voice was soft and firm. She paused and continued, "After walking through this passage, we will reach the real entrance of the treasure house."

Xiao Ling smiled and nodded, and walked side by side with Qing Lin, following closely behind Ning Yuxi. Their footsteps stepped steadily into the bright passage under the light.

The footsteps echoed in the quiet passage, da da da, like a brisk rhythm, accompanying the steps of the three people.

Ning Yuxi walked in front, Xiao Ling and Qing Lin followed closely behind, their figures stretched out under the light of the passage, reflected on the smooth stone wall.

Time passed quietly, and about five minutes later, at the end of the passage, a huge door suddenly appeared in front of them.

The door was heavy and simple, with complex patterns engraved on it, as if telling the long history of Yin Valley.

The three of them stopped at the same time, and their eyes were attracted by this mysterious door.

"Behind this stone door is the first treasure house of our Sound Valley. All the most precious treasures of Sound Valley for thousands of years are collected here." Ning Yuxi smiled and introduced.

After speaking, she raised her jade hand slightly, and the token with a faint luster appeared in her palm.

She stretched out her arm and pressed the token steadily into a groove in the center of the gate.

The groove was engraved with complex and ancient runes, as if quietly waiting for the arrival of the token. When the token was embedded, it seemed that a glimmer of light flashed between the runes, as if the ancient mechanism was awakened.

As the glimmer of light flashed, a burst of "clicking" mechanism sound suddenly sounded, constantly echoing in the passage. The huge stone door began to tremble slowly, and the dust on the door fell.

The heavy stone door moved to both sides little by little under the action of the mechanism, and every time it moved a little, there was a dull friction sound.

As he was about to step into the depths of the treasure house, Xiao Ling suddenly had an idea and summoned the little mink from the system space. This guy's vision is not to be underestimated. He helped a lot last time. Maybe he can find something rare this time.

The little mink was busy processing the materials for refining weapons. Suddenly, the world spun around and it disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye. This scared it. It looked around and found that it was held in Xiao Ling's arms. It breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

"Xiao Ling, what's wrong with you? You didn't even inform me in advance, and just pulled me out. I was concentrating just now, but now you have interrupted all the thoughts in my mind." The little mink glared at Xiao Ling fiercely and said with a complaining face.

Xiao Ling took out an eighth-grade spiritual fruit from his ring and handed it to Xiao Diao with an apologetic smile on his face, "Okay, don't be angry, I didn't expect you were busy. This spiritual fruit is an apology, to fill your stomach."

Xiao Diao's eyes lit up instantly, staring at the spiritual fruit that exuded a strong spiritual energy, and his dissatisfaction was instantly replaced by a greedy desire.

It quickly took the spiritual fruit, biting it, and said vaguely: "You are sensible, this spiritual fruit tastes good, Master Diao, I will forgive you this time."

Xiao Ling looked at Xiao Diao's satisfied look and couldn't help laughing. He knew that although Xiao Diao complained, he was not really angry.

Xiao Ling gently touched the little mink's head. The fur felt very good. He asked, "Diao, how is the refining of the pure Yuan treasure that you and Yan worked on going? Is it going smoothly?"

When the little mink heard this, he immediately stopped chewing the spiritual fruit, rolled his eyes at Xiao Ling, and said with a pout: "Humph, you say it lightly, the pure Yuan treasure is a rare thing, how can it be so easy to refine? Don't you think about it, this kind of treasure, even if it is placed in those super sects with deep heritage, it is a top treasure that is hard to come by, how can it be so easy to refine, it's still early now."

Its furry little body twisted in Xiao Ling's arms, found a more comfortable position, and continued to chew the spiritual fruit, muttering while chewing: "If it weren't for the fact that you are my brother, I wouldn't take on this hard job, it's too much work."
