Chapter 474: Three Thousand Flames, Farewell to Xun'er

"Xiao Ling, as the champion of this competition, as promised before, you will receive a scroll of soul cultivation secrets from ancient times."

As soon as Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, he waved his arm gently, and a sheepskin scroll exuding a vicissitudes of life appeared in his palm.

With a light push of his palm, the scroll flew towards Xiao Ling like lightning in a dazzling light.

When Xiao Ling heard this, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly, revealing a faint and subtle smile.

Although he is not short of soul cultivation techniques now, after all, there is the existence of the spirit of the ancestral stone, which is like a portable treasure house of wisdom. He can almost touch any secret method related to spiritual cultivation.

However, the preciousness of soul cultivation techniques is self-evident. Even if it is given to others, it is an inestimable gift of favor.

In addition, Xiao Ling is also full of curiosity in his heart. He wants to know whether this scroll of soul cultivation techniques handed down from ancient times is the Taiyi Soul Art that he once obtained from the system.

This curiosity, like a subtle touch that plucks his heartstrings, makes him full of anticipation for the scroll that is about to be in his hands.

Xiao Ling gently bent his palm, and a soft suction surged from the palm, firmly grasping the flying light. The light gradually dissipated, revealing the ancient sheepskin scroll.

His fingers gently touched it, and a faint sense of strangeness quietly emerged in his heart, as if he had touched the long river of time and felt the ancient heritage.

"Hmm?" Xiao Ling's eyes flashed with surprise. With his rich experience now, even if he didn't make a detailed observation, he could see through the mystery of this technique with just a little perception. "This 'Ancient Soul Forging Technique' is not the 'Taiyi Soul Technique' I learned before. Moreover, judging from the grade of this technique, it seems to be far superior to the 'Taiyi Soul Technique'. After practicing it, the improvement of soul power must be remarkable."

Xiao Ling's mind flashed a trace of doubt, but after a moment of deliberation, he vaguely saw the reason.

After careful consideration, he couldn't help but speculate that the final prize must have been temporarily replaced by the Danta organizer at the last minute.

If this is not the case, even if the prize is not the 'Taiyi Soul Technique' as originally guessed, then the other soul cultivation techniques used to replace it should be of the same grade as the Taiyi Soul Technique, and the gap between them should not be too great.

However, the quality of the "Ancient Soul Forging Technique" currently presented by Danta is obviously even better.

Xiao Ling suddenly understood the reason for this change after a little thought. Undoubtedly, this was because his talent in the competition was too dazzling, and Danta intended to take this opportunity to win him over.

Although Xiao Ling was full of strong curiosity about the specific content of this volume of soul cultivation, he knew that this was not the time to read it carefully. He just flipped his wrist lightly, and under the hot gaze of everyone, he properly put the sheepskin scroll into the ring. The action was clean and neat, without a trace of dragging.

Then, Xiao Ling turned his eyes to Xuan Kongzi, leaned forward slightly, clasped his hands, and saluted Xuan Kongzi slightly.

"Haha, Xiao Ling, with your attainments in alchemy today, it's really too polite to be so polite in front of me." Xuan Kongzi looked at Xiao Ling's actions, waved his hand, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

The thunderous applause around them gradually fell silent, and Xuan Kongzi slowly spoke: "The winner of the competition has emerged. In two days, the gate to the star field will be opened. On that glorious day, the top ten outstanding people in the alchemy meeting will have the honor of stepping into that special space. You will have the opportunity to subdue the Three Thousand Flames, which ranks ninth on the list of strange fires!"

As soon as Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, the atmosphere on the field instantly heated up. Not only Cao Ying and Dan Chen, but also the old man Qinghua, who was a little silent before, and the other top ten contestants who played supporting roles in the competition before, now have the flame of desire in their eyes.

Everyone present is an alchemist, and as an alchemist, who doesn't dream of being able to subdue a strange fire of their own?

They can't help but cast their eyes on Xiao Ling. This young man has achieved remarkable achievements in alchemy with his extraordinary talent and unremitting efforts.

However, behind his achievements, he can't do without the blessing of the strange fire he subdued.

That strange fire not only enhanced his strength, but also became a powerful helper in his journey of refining medicine.

This achievement undoubtedly inspired everyone present to yearn for and pursue strange fire.

In addition, the news that Xiao Ling, the champion of this alchemy competition, already has a strange fire has now been widely circulated and has become a well-known fact.

Obviously, he does not need to give up the precious flame he already has in order to pursue a new strange fire.

With Xiao Ling, the strongest opponent, withdrawing from the competition, other contestants undoubtedly saw a ray of new hope, as if the opportunity to subdue the strange fire was right in front of them.

As we all know, the difficulty of taming the Three Thousand Flames is a truth that has been tested by time. Otherwise, countless strong men have challenged it over the years in Danta, but have failed to successfully subdue it.

Nevertheless, even if the chance of success is very slim, who would be willing to give up this hard-won opportunity?

After all, if the Three Thousand Flames happened to take a fancy to him, it would undoubtedly be a great luck, and it can be said that he has directly stepped onto the pinnacle of success.

Such an opportunity is hard for anyone to give up. Everyone has a sense of luck in their hearts, and they are looking forward to becoming the one favored by the goddess of luck.

However, at this moment, Xiao Yan's demeanor seemed quite calm. His face did not show the excitement and joy of other players who ranked among the top ten, as if he was not too enthusiastic or in awe of the Three Thousand Flames that others yearned for.

According to common sense, Xiao Yan should have enjoyed the honor of conquering the Three Thousand Flames as he ranked among the top ten of the Alchemy Conference.

However, facing the legendary Three Thousand Flames, if Xiao Yan said that his heart was not moved, it would undoubtedly be self-deception.

After all, the reputation and power of that strange fire are enough to make any alchemist excited.

However, deep in his heart, he had already quietly given up the idea of ​​taking it into his pocket.

Although Xiao Yan's contact with Xiao Ling was not very close, it was definitely not a small amount. After years of getting along, he had a deep understanding of Xiao Ling's cultivation path.

In countless observations and exchanges, he gradually realized that the technique practiced by Xiao Ling seemed to have a unique special ability to devour flames, and even powerful alien fires could be devoured and fused by it.

Xiao Yan often witnessed Xiao Ling refining pills, and the precise control of the fire and the clever use of the flames left a deep impression on him.

Recalling the years in the Jia Ma Empire, he was often carefully guided by Xiao Ling, and the experience and skills of refining pills still benefited him a lot.

However, every time he saw Xiao Ling refining pills again after not seeing him for a while, Xiao Yan would always notice that the color and intensity of the flames had changed significantly. This change was so drastic that it was impossible to ignore it.

Although Xiao Ling and the people around him never talked about these subtle changes in detail, Xiao Yan only needed to think about it for a while to outline the general outline.

He knew that these significant changes were undoubtedly closely related to the special technique that Xiao Ling practiced.

Therefore, according to common sense, the Three Thousand Flames of Flame are very likely to have become the next target of his cousin Xiao Ling.

Unless his cousin fails to subdue the Three Thousand Flames of Flame, and the strong men ahead of him also fail, Xiao Yan may have a chance to try to win the recognition of the Three Thousand Flames of Flame.

In such a situation, Xiao Yan knew that his chance of getting the Three Thousand Flames of Flame was almost negligible.

However, in his opinion, such a concept is simply like a fairy tale, and the possibility of it happening is very small, even lower than the chance of winning the first prize in the lottery game he occasionally played in his previous life.

Under this mentality, Xiao Ling is more open-minded. He did not hold too much hope at the beginning, so that even if he failed in the end, he would not be too disappointed.

Driven by this mentality, Xiao Yan seems quite open-minded. He had not placed too high expectations from the beginning, so even if the final result was not satisfactory, he would not be too disappointed.

"I did find some clues related to the strange fire in that ruins before." Xiao Yan gently touched his chin and thought to himself, "When the matter of the Three Thousand Flames is over, I will say goodbye to my cousin Xiao Ling, and then I may go to check it out, maybe I can really get a strange fire."

In Xiao Yan's mind, the future action plan has been outlined more and more clearly, and it will be the day of action when the time is right.

Xiao Ling's heart is naturally full of desire for the famous Three Thousand Flames.

Although becoming the champion of the Alchemy Conference has made him famous in Zhongzhou, this is not his only pursuit.

His real goal in participating in the Alchemy Conference this time has always been to conquer the complete strange fire ranked in the top ten of the strange fire list, and Xiao Ling has never had the experience of swallowing such a strange fire.

"Once I successfully devour the Three Thousand Flames, even if my cultivation is not low now and I cannot get the same great improvement as before, it will no longer be an insurmountable hurdle to be promoted to the high-level Dou Zun."

"Afterwards, if I can collect all the resources in the Dou Sheng Ruins, then all the resources needed for the Dou Zun realm will be in my pocket. With these resources, will the threshold of the Dou Sheng realm still be far away? Once the Dou Sheng realm is within reach, the achievement of the Dou Emperor seems to be just a matter of time."

Xiao Ling thought so in his heart, and his expectation became stronger. He seemed to have seen the bright and brilliant future waving to him.

"Xiao Ling, if you have some free time in your future schedule, you might as well arrange some time to come to Danta to see me. I have some matters here, and I hope to meet with you in person to discuss them in detail."

Just when Xiao Ling was immersed in the beautiful vision of the future, Xuan Kongzi's voice was like a meteor that suddenly appeared in the night sky, breaking through his thoughts and instantly pulling his attention back to reality.

Xiao Ling quickly came to his senses and realized that it was Xuan Kongzi who was communicating with him through soul transmission.

He looked up and saw a half-smile in Xuan Kongzi's eyes, as if hiding a deep meaning.

Xiao Ling silently confirmed his guess in his heart. Xuan Kongzi came to him to discuss something important.

This work was organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Although Xiao Ling was a little curious, he did not intend to ask immediately.

He knew that since Xuan Kongzi mentioned that they would talk later, everything would be revealed at that time.

Therefore, Xiao Ling also responded via soul transmission: "I understand, President Xuan Kongzi. I will go to the Dan Pagoda as scheduled..."

Later, Xuan Kongzi delivered a speech about the successful conclusion of the Dan Club. His words were full of expectations for the future and appreciation for the contestants.

As he finished speaking, Danta's deacons began to get busy. They removed the facilities and equipment of each competition unit in an orderly manner.

The atmosphere at the scene gradually changed from warm and exciting to calm and orderly.

At this time, the few contestants who had not yet left exchanged polite farewells with each other. They either walked towards their companions or walked slowly towards their residence in Shengdan City.

As these contestants left one after another, all other matters on the agenda of this Dan meeting, except for the outcome of the battle for three thousand flames, which was limited to only a few people, had yet to be announced, and the rest of the matters had come to an end. .

However, if you want to witness such a grand gathering again in this vindictive continent, you have to wait patiently for thirty years.

Thirty years have passed by, and personnel have changed. No one can predict whether everything will remain the same as it is today.

In these long thirty years, what kind of wonderful legendary stories will the Dou Qi Continent perform? Only as time passes slowly can we reveal them one by one...

…

"Yao Lao, since the alchemy meeting has come to an end, we might as well return to Xingyun Pavilion first." The little medical fairy opened her red lips lightly, and her voice was ethereal and sweet, like spring water hitting a stone, echoing crisply in the air.

"Girl Xian'er, are you really not planning to meet that boy Xiao Ling? If he mistakenly thinks that you ended the retreat but did not show up to observe the alchemy meeting he participated in, maybe there will be some trouble. Are you disappointed and complaining?" Yao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

"Since we couldn't meet each other at the first moment, there is no need to deliberately arrange to meet each other later. If I suddenly appeared at this moment, I'm afraid it would only cause unnecessary trouble. I'd better not cause any more trouble for him."

The little medical fairy smiled softly, with a gentle and peaceful smile on her lips.

"As for the misunderstanding, Mr. Yao, you don't have to worry. I believe that he has been aware of our existence to some extent, but he is not completely convinced of his speculation yet."

"What you said makes sense. After all, it's not appropriate for me, an old man, to interfere too much in the affairs of you young people. Let's go, let's just wait for the boy's return in Xingyun Pavilion."

Yao Chen smiled indifferently, and as he spoke, his sleeves and robes lifted slightly, as if they plucked an invisible string in the air, and there was a subtle fluctuation in the void.

In this wave of light, the figures of Yao Chen and the Little Medical Fairy gradually became blurred, until they completely blended into the surrounding scenery and disappeared without a trace.

…

In the blink of an eye, the night slowly unfolded like a profound scroll, shrouding Dou Qi Continent in tranquility.

The night sky is vast and boundless, and the stars are like fine diamonds embedded in it, shining with dreamlike brilliance. They seem to come from a mysterious plane outside the Dou Qi Continent, looking at each other from afar on this continent.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the silver brilliance falls like flowing water, covering Shengdan City with a mysterious veil. Under the cover of night, this ancient and glorious city looks more solemn and charming.

Thanks to the lively aftermath of the Day Dan Meeting, the night in Sheng Dan City did not fall into silence.

The streets are brightly lit and filled with pedestrians. Laughter and conversation echoed one after another in the streets and alleys, as if the prosperity of the day still continued.

In front of the shop, various lanterns swayed, illuminating the rare medicinal materials and elixirs on the stalls, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Such a lively and warm scene, if there is a beautiful woman by your side to enjoy and taste together, it will undoubtedly be the icing on the cake, and it is a perfect situation...

On the top of a high tower in Shengdan City, on the roof, a man and a woman were closely linked to each other. They stood side by side, overlooking the bustling night view of the city.

The night wind blew gently, with a touch of coolness, and the hair of the two people was gently raised in the wind, and each other's hair was intertwined to form a romantic picture, warm and touching.

Their eyes passed through the brightly lit streets and past the noisy crowds, seeming to be looking for something, or enjoying this quiet time.

The lights of the city were like dots of stars, contrasting with the starry sky above them, forming a beautiful picture.

Here, time seems to slow down, leaving only each other's heartbeats and the whisper of the evening breeze, together weaving the tranquility and beauty of this night.

"Brother Xiao Ling, you haven't had a good rest for nearly a month since the Alchemy Meeting started."

Xun'er gently held Xiao Ling's arm, her head gently resting on Xiao Ling's solid shoulder, her voice was like a whisper in the night wind, gentle and beautiful.

"If you feel tired, go and have a good rest first. You don't have to stay here with Xun'er..."

"Haha, rest is a trivial matter to me. I don't want to miss Xun'er's precious time with you." Xiao Ling rubbed Xun'er's hair dotingly and said with a smile, "I guess, Xun'er Are you about to leave?"

"Brother Xiao Ling has really discovered it..." Xun'er smiled softly, her delicate body unconsciously pressing closer to Xiao Ling's body.

"Although Xun'er also wants to be by Brother Xiao Ling's side all the time, it has been some time since we left for this drama, and now it's really time to set off and return to the clan." (End of Chapter)
