Chapter 395 Leaving
Hearing Ning Yuxi's introduction, Xiao Ling came back to his senses, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Miss Ning Yuxi is right. I am indeed very interested in this Fate-Defying Rebirth Lotus. I have only read about it in ancient books before, and this is the first time I have the opportunity to see it with my own eyes. According to common sense, this kind of medicinal material should have been extinct long ago. I didn't expect that Guigu still has a collection. It is worthy of being the Sound Valley. The foundation is really profound."
While Xiao Ling was talking, he took out the special token that Ning Yuxi had given him before, and then raised the token and slapped it towards the thin silver space film outside the jade box. As the token came into contact with the film, the silver space film began to recede, like a tide.
Then, Xiao Ling stretched out his hand and sucked, and the exquisite jade box was pulled into his palm. Xiao Ling flipped his palm and opened the lid of the jade box, revealing the scene inside.
On the soft cloth at the bottom of the jade box, a lotus with two stems lay there quietly, as if sleeping, exuding a mysterious and quiet atmosphere.
It is a rare lotus with two stems, the branches are green and blue, and they are divided from the middle to both sides, each holding a lotus. The white lotus is like snow, pure and clean, and the petals are stretched out layer by layer, exuding a pure breath, like a messenger of life. The black lotus is like ink, mysterious and deep, and the petals are slightly curled, exuding a chilling death.
This thing is not him, it is a lotus that defies fate and rebirth.
At this time, Xiao Diao, who was standing on Xiao Ling's shoulder, stared at the lotus that defies fate and rebirth lying quietly in the jade box with his dark and bright eyes.
Xiao Diao's cultivation had reached the perfection of the realm of death and mystery before his death, and his control of the life and death aura had already reached perfection. Just by observation, Xiao Diao could clearly perceive that the pair of lotus flowers contained a strong life and death aura.
Not only that, Xiao Diao was also surprised to find that on this lotus, the originally opposing life and death auras flowed, confronted each other, and blended with each other, forming a wonderful and indescribable sense of balance.
If Xiaoyou is now in the peak state of possessing a physical body, he is confident that if he directly takes the twin lotuses, not only will there be no side effects, but it will also greatly enhance his control over the power of life and death, and his cultivation will be able to go further, and he may even successfully integrate the energy of life and death, and it is not impossible for his cultivation to break through the Wheel of Reincarnation in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, Xiao Diao couldn't help but feel excited. He hurried to Xiao Ling's ear and whispered: "Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, what is this... Fate-Defying Rebirth Lotus... You must take it away. It's definitely a good treasure!"
"Haven't you been looking for a way to balance the energy of life and death? I think this lotus is definitely the best material for balancing the energy of life and death. If you can get a few more of these Fate-Defying Rebirth Lotuses, after swallowing them, I, Master Diao, have the confidence to condense a physical body directly."
After hearing Xiao Diao's voice transmission, Xiao Ling came back to his senses, raised his eyebrows, and then secretly replied: "I have consulted a lot of information before to find a way to balance the energy of life and death, and I have also read the information about this Fate-Defying Rebirth Lotus. But I heard that it has been extinct before, so I didn't look for it anymore. I didn't expect to encounter one in Yin Valley this time, It was a lucky coincidence."
"A Diao, since you have personally identified it, this Fate-Defying Rebirth Lotus should indeed have the effect of balancing the energy of life and death. When I take this Fate-Defying Rebirth Lotus away and go back to study it carefully, maybe I can make a pill to revive you."
After hearing Xiao Ling's voice transmission, Xiao Diao was very excited and asked hurriedly: "So as long as you take this Fate-Defying Rebirth Lotus and go back to study it, you can refine a pill to revive me?"
"It's not that simple, Xiao Diao. Although this Fate-Defying Rebirth Lotus is the key, it is not that easy to configure a new pill formula. Various factors such as ratios and heat must be considered. But don't worry, since I said it, I will do my best. I will use all my skills to strive to develop a pill that can revive you as soon as possible." Xiao Ling was a little amused and shook his head helplessly, and responded secretly.
After that, Xiao Ling stopped talking to Xiao Diao. He immediately looked at Ning Yuxi, with a gentle smile on his face, and said, "Miss Ning Yuxi, this Fate-Defying Rebirth Lotus is of great use to me. I am lucky to see it today. I will not be polite anymore. I hope to take it away. I hope you will do it."
"Master Xiao Ling is too polite. My master has told me before that if Master Xiao Ling likes something, just take it away. Since Master Xiao Ling likes this Fate-Defying Rebirth Lotus, it is naturally yours, Master Xiao Ling. You can take it away." Ning Yuxi smiled slightly and said very politely.
"Thank you." Xiao Ling smiled slightly and was not polite anymore. He closed the lid of the jade box again, and then stretched out his hand and put the jade box containing the Fate-Defying Rebirth Lotus into the ring.
After receiving the good things, Xiao Ling was also full of joy at this time.
Previously, he had not had high expectations for this treasure hunt in Yin Valley. After all, Yin Valley was different from Fenyan Valley. Fenyan Valley's ancestors had once produced a nine-star Dousheng peak strongman, and its profound heritage can be imagined. In comparison, Yin Valley might not be as good.
However, he never thought that he could find something that would be of great benefit to Xiao Diao's recovery of his body here. This was really a pleasant surprise.
Afterwards, Ning Yuxi took Xiao Ling and Qing Lin to browse the area where medicinal materials were stored. In the process, Xiao Ling found several rare medicinal materials that he had not collected before, and collected them to enrich his inventory.
After taking these herbs, Xiao Ling no longer wanted to stay here, so he asked Ning Yuxi to take him away from the treasure house.
After all, it had been more than half a year since Xiao Ling left Xingyun Pavilion with Qinglin, and it was time to go back.
Moreover, if he wanted to create a pill that could help Xiao Diao recover his body as soon as possible, he needed to discuss it with Yao Chen, which might speed up the progress.
…
The place where the sound valley space barrier was located.
Between the quiet valleys, there was a green grassland, like a flawless jade spread on the earth.
On the grassland, two huge stone pillars stood tall, the pillars were smooth and flawless, and they were engraved with exquisite mysterious patterns, reflecting a fantastic halo in the sun.
Suddenly, the tranquility was broken, and a dazzling space wave flashed between the two stone pillars.
Then, the wave spread rapidly, and the space force in it began to continue to increase.
The spatial fluctuations spun wildly between the stone pillars, and the surrounding air was stirred into chaos, forming a strong airflow.
As the rotation intensified, the fluctuations began to twist and deform, like a huge energy vortex.
The spatial fluctuations spun between the stone pillars, like a huge energy vortex, and the surrounding air was swirling.
As the rotation became more intense, the spatial fluctuations began to twist, forming a space channel flashing with silver light between the stone pillars, which seemed quite mysterious.
As soon as the space channel was opened, four streams of light rushed out from the other end like attracted meteors, cutting through the void, and instantly bloomed into four gorgeous rainbows on the lawn.
As the rainbow slowly dissipated, the figures of Xiao Ling, Qing Lin, Ning Yuxi, and Su Li gradually appeared.
Standing still, Xiao Ling waved his hand casually, and the Sky-Splitting Seat in his sleeves swirled out like a black line, and his figure quickly soared to ten feet long, circling in the air. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling jumped up and stepped steadily on the back of the Sky-Splitting Seat with Qing Lin.
"Palace Master Su Li, Miss Ning Yuxi, let's send you here. We will go on our own for the rest of the journey." Xiao Ling turned around, clasped his fists towards Su Li and Ning Yuxi, and said with a slight smile.
"The Dan Tower's thirty-year alchemy conference is coming soon. I will definitely attend the conference in person. If you two are free, you can come and watch."
Su Li put a strand of black hair behind her ears, smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Since Master Xiao Ling has invited me, I will naturally not refuse. I will definitely come to cheer for Master Xiao Ling on behalf of Yin Valley. With Master Xiao Ling's current level of alchemy, it will be easy for him to win the championship of this alchemy conference. Even if the older generation of alchemists in Zhongzhou participate in this alchemy conference, I am afraid they will not be able to defeat Master Xiao Ling."
Ning Yuxi behind Su Li also nodded slightly, expressing her full agreement with her master's words. After all, if an alchemist who can refine an eighth-grade nine-color elixir cannot win the championship in the alchemy competition, it would be a huge joke.
Hearing this, Xiao Ling's mouth corners slightly raised, his eyebrows showing the publicity and unruliness of a young man, his expression firm and confident, and he said loudly,
"Of course, I, Xiao Ling, am determined to win the championship of this alchemy competition. In the past, our Xingyun Pavilion Medicine Venerable Senior was able to refine an eighth-grade elixir and win the championship of the alchemy competition. It was a legend. As his junior, I should inherit his mantle and continue to write glory, and I will not be inferior to him."
"In this alchemy competition, I will go all out to show what I have learned and spread my name. After the alchemy competition, if the ninth-grade alchemist has not appeared in the world, I, Xiao Ling, will be the first alchemist on this continent."
The young man's figure is slender and upright, like a pine tree standing proudly, standing firmly on the dragon head.
The wind howled and raged around him, as if it was going to sweep everything into it, but what the wind could not blow away was the confident and high-spirited temperament of the boy, which was like substance, spreading in the air.
Behind him, a scorching sun hung high in the sky, continuously shedding endless light. These lights, as if alive, gently wrapped around the boy, just like putting on a dazzling, dreamy golden gauze for him.
Against the backdrop of this gauze, the boy was like a god descending from heaven, emitting a light that could not be ignored, as dazzling as the brightest star in the night sky.
Once all eyes touched him, they would be attracted by a magnet and could never move away.
Beside Xiao Ling, Qing Lin's beautiful eyes, like emeralds, stared at Xiao Ling closely, full of obsession.
A touch of infinite admiration emerged in the depths of her eyes, intertwined with deep love, as if only the person in front of her could enter her heart and be reflected in her eyes.
Even Chu Wanqing and Ning Yuxi, seeing Xiao Ling's high-spirited appearance, could not help but have some strange colors in their eyes, and waves of admiration and appreciation were stirred.
Coming back to her senses, Su Li looked at Xiao Ling with sincere admiration. She looked solemn, and her soft words were full of admiration: "Master Xiao Ling is so bold! At that time, I will definitely look forward to it with Yuxi, and look forward to witnessing the glorious moment when the master shines and wins the crown at the Alchemy Conference. That must be a grand scene that attracts worldwide attention."
"Haha, good! Goodbye, see you later." Xiao Ling smiled brightly, clasped his hands together, and bowed solemnly. Then, his mind moved slightly, and he gave the order to set off to Liekongzuo.
Qinglin's face broke into a brilliant smile, as bright as a blooming flower. She waved vigorously at Ning Yuxi, using this simple and sincere gesture as a farewell.
"Ah~"
The Raquaza raised its head to the sky and let out a low and powerful dragon roar. The sound was like a bell, echoing in the valley for a long time.
Immediately, its slender and strong body twisted violently, like an arrow that had been charging for a long time, and instantly turned into a stream of black light.
This stream of light galloped towards the high sky with an indomitable momentum, and the momentum seemed to break through the clouds.
The slender figure left a domineering black afterimage between the sky and the earth, and then disappeared from the sight of Ning Yuxi and Su Li in the blink of an eye.
After a moment, Rayquaza's figure had disappeared, leaving only the long trail of clouds on the horizon, like a misty ribbon, proving that it had been there.
Slowly retracting her gaze from the horizon, Suli turned her gaze to Ning Yuxi beside her. She couldn't help but think of what the elder said to her not long ago.
Her beautiful autumn eyes rolled around with a bit of a smile, then her red lips opened slightly and she said,
"Yu Xi, what do you think of Master Xiao Ling? You two are similar in age. Besides, you will definitely inherit the position of Master of Sound Valley in the future. In my opinion, you two are a match made in heaven. Xiao Ling The master is talented and graceful, and you are also gentle, virtuous, and talented. Only someone as outstanding as him is a perfect match for you."
Hearing her master's joking words, even Ning Yuxi, who had always had a calm personality, couldn't help but blush a little on her face, and a wave of emotion surged in her eyes.
However, this strangeness was quickly restrained by her, and in a flash, she returned to her usual cold demeanor.
Ning Yuxi lowered her eyes slightly, then raised her head, with a serious and solemn expression on her face. She pursed her lips lightly, as if thinking carefully in her mind, and after a moment, she slowly responded:
"Master Xiao Ling can be called a dragon or a phoenix among people. He has already achieved impressive cultivation and achievements at a young age. His talent is so high that he can be called a leader of the contemporary generation. I believe he will be able to reach the top of the continent in the future. If Master hopes that Yu Xi can Yu Xi is not disgusted by having contact with him."
Hearing her apprentice's somewhat ambiguous answer, Suli raised her eyebrows slightly, with a bit of surprise in her eyes. As a master, she knew very well that her apprentice had always been stoic and indifferent to the love between men and women. Don't ask.
After a short pause, Su Li then asked: "Yu Xi, listening to what you said, do you really have any special feelings for Master Xiao Ling?"
Hearing her master's question again, Ning Yuxi was slightly startled, and then started thinking quickly in her mind. She has no dislike for Xiao Ling, and even has some affection for him, but it's just not to the point of liking him. But if she wanted to date him, she felt there was nothing unacceptable.
If Xiao Ling took the initiative to pursue her, whether it was for the sake of the sect's affection or the slightest hint of goodwill, she would nod and agree. But it is absolutely impossible for her to take the initiative to interact with the other party.
After Ning Yuxi thought carefully in her mind, she originally planned to tell her master her inner thoughts directly without reservation.
However, at this moment, a shout suddenly came from the side, abruptly interrupting the conversation between the two.
"Girl Suli, it is really inappropriate for you to teach your disciples like this. As the current owner of Yingu, you should set an example and maintain the atmosphere of Yingu. If you continue to act like this, the good atmosphere that Yingu has inherited for many years may be destroyed. Once. You need to reflect carefully and pay attention to your behavior. You must not damage Yingu’s reputation due to a single thought.”
After the two women heard the sound, they immediately stopped talking and looked towards the direction where the sound came from.
Behind the two of them, a beautiful figure in white appeared. The graceful figure stood there gracefully, as if she belonged to this place naturally from the beginning, blending perfectly with the surrounding environment without any sense of abruptness.
Seeing the face of this beautiful figure clearly, Suli and Ning Yuxi were stunned at the same time, and then they quickly bowed together and said respectfully: "The Supreme Elder."
Chu Wanqing's face, as white as mutton-fat jade, had no expression at all. It was like a bottomless pool, making it impossible to peek into her inner emotions. She stood quietly like that, exuding an aura as cold as frost.
"This matter ends here, and it won't happen again. If I find you doing this kind of behavior again, I won't let you go leniently."
Her voice was cold, like the biting cold wind in the mountains. Every word echoed in the air, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of Su Li and Ning Yuxi.
After saying this lightly, Chu Wanqing's figure began to gradually become illusory, like a curl of light smoke, slowly dissipating in the breeze. I don't know when, it had completely disappeared from the sight of the two, leaving only Xia Suli and Ning Yuxi were still there, so shocked by her powerful aura that they could not recover for a long time.
There was silence all around, as if time had frozen at this moment. Only the chill brought by Chu Wanqing's departure was still lingering in the air.
The two looked at each other and saw a look of confusion in each other's eyes.
Su Li frowned slightly and whispered to herself with confusion on her face: "What's wrong with the Supreme Elder? For some reason, I seem to hear some resentment from her previous words."
Ning Yuxi said softly: "Perhaps the Supreme Elder thinks there is something wrong with what Master you said before."
"Is that so? But it is true. I shouldn't interfere too much in your emotional affairs." Su Li nodded subconsciously, and suddenly froze for a moment. His face changed, and he said, "No, the Grand Elder is back? This is the most important thing! Let's go back quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Li waved his sleeves, opened a space crack, and took Ning Yuxi to the Sound Valley... (End of this chapter)
