Chapter 485 External Response

Outside the star field, there were slight ripples in the space, and a space passage slowly opened. Then, more than ten figures headed by Xiang Jinsong jumped out of the space passage.

On this side, due to the movement caused by their appearance, they undoubtedly became the focus, attracting many eyes in an instant. The three giants of Danta sensed this unusual fluctuation and rushed here without hesitation.

Xuan Kongzi's eyes swept over everyone, and there was a trace of exploration in his eyes. Noticing that Xiao Ling was not among the returning crowd, his brows furrowed slightly involuntarily, and an inexplicable suspicion suddenly surged in his heart.

However, he did not immediately reveal his guess. Instead, he quickly turned his attention to Xiang Jinsong, who was standing at the front. With a trace of unquestionable seriousness in his tone, he asked,

"Elder Xiang, what kind of changes have happened? You have just stepped into the Star Territory not long ago, how could you come back in such a hurry? Moreover, I noticed that Xiao Ling did not appear with you. Where is he at this moment?"

Xiang Jinsong first bowed slightly to Xuan Kongzi and the others and saluted. Then, a faint smile gradually appeared on his old face, and his tone revealed an unconcealable feeling of relief.

"Haha, President Xuankong, please don't worry too much. The reason why we returned from the Star Territory so quickly is because Xiao Ling successfully obtained the approval of the Three Thousand Flame Flame when it came into contact with it. . At this moment, Xiao Ling is refining three thousand flames in the depths of the Star Territory. His situation is not in any danger, so you can rest assured that Xuan Kong will grow up."

As soon as Xiang Jinsong finished speaking, Xuan Kongzi and the others were slightly shocked in their hearts.

Even Xuan Kongzi, who had already made some guesses in his mind before, couldn't help but show a bit of surprise when he heard this result now.

There was a hint of surprise in the eyes of the three people. Obviously, Xiao Ling was able to gain Sanqianyanyanhuo's recognition so quickly, which exceeded his expectations.

After a brief shock, the three of them exchanged glances in unison, with a trace of inquiry in each other's eyes.

Finally, Xuan Kongzi broke the silence, with a hint of surprise in his voice, and asked:

"Elder Xiang, is what you just said the truth? Hasn't Xiao Ling already successfully subdued a strange fire? How was he able to gain the favor of Three Thousand Yan Yanhuo again in such a short period of time, and be able to Is it going to be subdued and refined?”

As soon as Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, and before Elder Xiang had time to respond, Cao Ying couldn't wait to step forward and took a few steps. Her voice clearly reached the ears of everyone present:

"Master, according to Xiao Ling, he has mastered a unique secret method. This secret method allows him to conquer many kinds of strange fires at the same time. It is precisely because of this secret method that he can achieve multiple things with one stone and combine different strange fires. Fire subdues and refines.”

Cao Ying's explanation not only provided a reasonable explanation for Xiao Ling's abilities, but also solved a group of doubts in the minds of the three giants of Danta.

"The special secret technique that can conquer multiple kinds of strange fires at the same time, Xiao Ling's opportunity is indeed extraordinary. Even this old man has never heard of such a technique." Tianleizi raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of emotion in his tone. Very surprised, he said slowly.

"Even if such a special secret technique is placed in front of you, you may not be able to control it. Alien fires are rare, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see their true appearance in their lifetime, let alone have the opportunity and strength to conquer multiple kinds of alien fires at the same time. "Yes." Xuan Yi laughed softly from the side, teasing with a hint of joking.

"This special secret method really seems to be tailor-made for Xiao Ling. Those of us lack the same opportunities as him. Even if we are lucky enough to practice this method, we may not be able to achieve any results."

Now that things have developed for the best, Xuan Kongzi's mood was obviously affected. He said with a smile in his tone. "It seems that some things cannot be forced."

Although Xuan Kongzi had previously expected that the potential threat of Three Thousand Yan Yanhuo could be completely eliminated this time, he knew deep down that it was only a slim possibility.

However, to his surprise, this seemingly unattainable goal was now perfectly solved. The abilities Xiao Ling displayed undoubtedly exceeded all of their initial expectations. He was truly a special and amazing person who could create miracles.

At this moment, everyone was generally in a happy mood, but the old man Qinghua seemed out of tune with the cheerful atmosphere around him.

After all, if years of careful planning come to nothing, no matter who it is, they will inevitably feel a little disappointed and cannot recover so quickly.

In such a bad mood, old man Qinghua did not intend to stay here for a long time. Since there was nothing else to do here, he did not want to participate in this joy that did not belong to him.

So, he moved toward the direction where Xuan Kongzi and the others were, bowed slightly with his fists clasped, said "goodbye" lightly, and then his figure turned into a stream of light and flew downwards.

His back, a little lonely and melancholy, gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

"It seems that this time, Old Man Qinghua's work was in vain again. I think back then in the Meteor God Ice Field, he was defeated by Yao Chen, and now that Xiao Ling has obtained the Three Thousand Yan Yanhuo, he still returns empty-handed. "

Xuan Kongzi watched the figure of the old man Qinghua retreating away, smiled softly, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"The strange fire has a spirit, and it chooses its owner to live in. I think this old man Qinghua probably lacks that fate." Xuan Yi frowned slightly, and his tone revealed a bit of frankness, even a hint of frankness. A touch of indifference, "No matter how hard he tries to search, he may not be able to get the favor of the alien fire."

After a short pause, Xuan Yi's eyes fell on the lonely back of the old man Qinghua, and continued: "Moreover, looking at his current expression, he seems to be discouraged. I think he will probably not be interested in subduing the strange fire in the future. I don’t have any extravagant expectations.”

After Xuan Yi's words fell, Tianleizi and Xuan Kongzi looked at each other, and there was a silent understanding in each other's eyes, so they did not continue this topic.

As alchemists, they know very well the desire and persistence for strange fire. They also have a deep understanding of the eager pursuit of the alien fire, but they also lack the opportunity to bond with the alien fire.

Such thoughts lingered in their hearts. When they recalled that Xiao Ling had the ability to subdue multiple kinds of strange fires at the same time, even Tianleizi and Xuankongzi, who had cultivated their minds to be indifferent and calm, felt a trace of envy in their hearts at this moment. feeling.

As the old man Qinghua took the lead on his way home, several other people also said goodbye to Xuan Kongzi and the others, and then left the place one by one.

In the end, only Cao Ying and Dan Chen were left here. They had no intention of leaving in a hurry, but chose to stay where they were.

"What, you two little girls, what are your plans to stay here?" Xuan Yi raised her eyebrows slightly. As someone who has been there, she could naturally see through the concerns of Cao Ying and Dan Chen at a glance.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she said with a hint of ridicule: "Are you secretly worried about the safety of Xiao Ling? I can clearly guess what you are thinking."

When Cao Ying and Dan Chen heard this, their cheeks could not help but blush slightly, and they exchanged guilty glances with each other.

But Cao Ying still couldn't hide her worries. She looked at Xuan Kongzi and said with a hint of sincerity in her tone: "Master, I... I'm still a little worried about Xiao Ling's safety."

"Don't worry, you girl," Xuan Kongzi's eyes fell on Cao Ying's face gently, and he smiled softly, "I will enter the star field and investigate the situation personally, so you don't have to worry about it anymore. Things are worrying."

A hint of joking flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Cao Ying and Dan Chen, "This is the first time I have seen you, Ying'er, plead for other men like this in so many years. Alas, it seems like you are The two girls have indeed grown up, and their thoughts have also flown away. "

Xuan Kongzi chuckled twice and did not continue the topic. He nodded slightly in greeting to Xuan Yi and Tian Lei Zi, and then waved his palm lightly. A crack seemed to be torn in the air, and a space passage leading to the Star Territory slowly opened in front of him.

Then, his figure swayed slightly, and he stepped into the passage without hesitation. In an instant, he disappeared from everyone's eyes, leaving only the space passage slowly closing with slight fluctuations.

At the same time, Cao Ying and Dan Chen, who stayed where they were, couldn't stand the meaningful looks in Xuan Yi and Tian Leizi's eyes, and they didn't stay here too long. The two of them activated the fighting energy in their bodies at the same time, and their figures turned into two streams of light, quickly flew downwards, and disappeared in the buildings of Shengdan City.

"Being able to conquer multiple kinds of strange fires at the same time, and now even including the 3,000-flame fire that ranks ninth on the list of strange fires, this Xiao Ling is really hard to figure out.

"Tianleizi looked far away in the direction of the star field, gently stroking his gray beard, and his tone was full of emotion:

"The elders of the Little Alchemy Pagoda really have a unique vision this time. They can take the initiative to send out invitations. It seems that they have long recognized Xiao Ling's extraordinary potential. Such a move is undoubtedly a wise move..."

"Xiao Ling's success in subduing Three Thousand Yan Yanhuo this time will surely make those old guys pay more attention to him. When Xiao Ling ends his retreat, contact with those elders will be inevitable."

Xuan Yi nodded lightly and analyzed in a calm tone: "It's just that those old guys don't have very good tempers, and they are not easy to get along with. I just hope that nothing unpleasant will happen during Xiao Ling's contact with them... …”

…

In the star field, in the vast void space, a stream of light suddenly flashed across, like a falling meteor, flying straight towards the core of the star field.

After a while, the stream of light traveling through the star field began to slow down slowly, and finally floated and stopped quietly in the void. As the light gradually faded, Xuan Kongzi's figure appeared clearly.

"Has the body of Three Thousand Flames Fire begun to disintegrate? It seems that Xiao Ling has already begun to refine the original fire of Three Thousand Flames Fire. The progress is quite fast. I don't know what the situation is now... …”

Staring at the endless, blazing sea of ​​purple fire in front of him, Xuan Kongzi couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration. He whispered to himself,

"However, these scattered flames are a bit tricky. If they are not properly restrained and lose the control of the original fire of the three thousand alien fire images, they are likely to cause a lot of trouble. I'm afraid even if the vast The star field cannot bear such turbulence."

The three thousand flames accumulated over countless years, and the star flames contained in them, at this moment, have completely gotten rid of their restraints. The only original fire that could control these flames has been absorbed by Xiao Ling.

Without conscious control, these flames become extremely dangerous. They are like wild horses that run wild and may cause disaster at any time.

Fortunately, when the Three Thousand Flames flames dissipated on their own initiative, there was still a trace of reason left, and they managed to subtly control the flames to restrain them slightly.

If not, these vast fires of stars would have raged across the star field, causing unimaginable damage.

Just when Xuan Kongzi's figure lightly approached the purple-black sea of ​​​​fire, intending to explore Xiao Ling's current situation, the originally chaotic flames changed strangely.

Some of the purple-black flames seemed to have sensed something, and they actively surrounded Xiao Ling. Instead of causing any harm to Xiao Ling, they acted like loyal guardians, forming a solid flame barrier that surrounded Xiao Ling. Guard it firmly.

At the same time, another part of the flame condensed into a wave of fire, as if driven by some kind of force, and rushed straight towards Xuan Kongzi with a scorching breath and amazing power.

Faced with this sudden change, Xuan Kongzi had to respond quickly. His figure quickly retreated, canceling his original intention of continuing to move forward.

"Huh? This flame can actually protect the master automatically? In this situation, I really don't need to worry about it anymore." A trace of surprise flashed in Xuan Kongzi's eyes, and then he smiled with relief, "It seems that I can't Don’t get too close to the purple sea of ​​fire, otherwise you may be embarrassed by the blazing flames.”

Observing this scene, Xuan Kongzi was convinced that Xiao Ling had indeed begun to refine the origin of the three thousand flames. Moreover, judging from the situation in front of him, Xiao Ling's refining process seemed to be extremely smooth, so he could feel at ease.

After confirming that Xiao Ling was safe and sound, Xuan Kongzi did not stay here longer. He turned around and flew away along the path he came from.

"I'm actually looking forward to it. What a spectacular sight it will be when you, the little guy, completely conquer these three thousand flames. By then, maybe even I won't be able to take advantage of you. Already..."

…

At the same time, in a corner of Shengdan City, Xiao Ling and his party were resting in the courtyard.

Above the pavilion, Zi Yan suddenly felt something. She raised her head, her gaze penetrated the boundaries of the courtyard and cast it over Shengdan City.

Those eyes as bright as amethysts seemed to be able to easily pass through the invisible space barrier and stare directly at the slender figure sitting quietly in the sea of ​​purple fire.

"Has Xiao Ling started refining the Three Thousand Flame Fire? This progress is a bit too fast. Even a battle between souls should take a lot of time. Could it be that something happened? An unexpected turn of events?"

Zi Yan's brows wrinkled slightly, her tone revealing a bit of surprise and confusion.

"Zi Yan, what happened? Did something unexpected happen to Xiao Ling? Is he facing danger at this moment?" Medusa, who was sitting next to Zi Yan, couldn't help being slightly startled after hearing Zi Yan's words, and her brows were light. Wrinkling slightly, she asked slowly, her voice cold and with a hint of worry.

"Don't worry," Zi Yan retracted her gaze from the distance and turned to look at Medusa, with a faint smile on her lips and explained in a relaxed tone, "I just sensed him through the dragon seal left in Xiao Ling's body. Although it seems to be a little beyond our expectations, his condition is quite stable and he has not encountered any danger."

Medusa's brows relaxed slightly, but there was still a trace of concern in her eyes: "So, what exactly do you mean by unexpected things? His refining speed is so fast, wouldn't there be What are the side effects?”

"I don't quite understand this, but Xiao Ling can always do some unexpected things. He can master the Three Thousand Flames so quickly. Maybe he has some understanding or adopted special methods during the refining process. "

Zi Yan shook her head gently, her expression looking quite casual, "We just need to wait for the change. After Xiao Ling absorbs the three thousand flames, he will naturally come back safe and sound..."

When Medusa heard this, her beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she didn't ask any more questions. She just picked up the tea cup next to her and took a sip. For some reason, there was a hint of imperceptible anxiety in her heart.

I originally thought that by accompanying Xiao Ling to Shengdan City this time, I would have more opportunities to get close to him, so that the relationship between them could further develop and achieve a breakthrough in some sense.

Unexpectedly, since arriving in Shengdan City, Xiao Ling was first busy with many matters of the Danhui, and then devoted himself to the feat of conquering the three thousand flames. There was not much time left between the two of them, here. The times we get together are not even as frequent as when we were in Xingyun Pavilion. This is really a bit emotional...

"If I had known this earlier, I would have been more active when we were in Xingyun Pavilion. This embarrassing situation is really irritating."

Medusa frowned slightly, tapped her forehead lightly, then smiled helplessly, crossed her arms unconsciously on her chest, and shook her head gently, her charming yet noble beauty There was a look of regret and helplessness on his face.

At this moment, Qing Lin walked out of the house holding a plate of exquisite refreshments in his hand. She placed the tray on the coffee table with a light movement, and the snacks on the tray exuded an alluring aroma.

"Hehe, this is a snack made by Qing Lin himself. I haven't tasted such delicious food for a while."

When Zi Yan saw the tea, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She couldn't wait to reach out and pick up a piece of golden egg tart, and quickly put it into her mouth, as if she was enjoying the long-lost sweetness.

"Qing Lin's craftsmanship is indeed very delicious. Even though I have lived among the snake people for so long, I have never had the pleasure to taste such delicious food." Medusa also nodded lightly, elegantly picked up a piece of cake, and gently used a spoon to taste it. Gently scoop up a spoonful, slowly bring it to your lips, and savor it carefully.

"These are just a few unique skills taught to me by the young master. It's great that you like them so much."

Qing Lin looked at the two people's love for the snacks, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes were full of satisfaction.

My young master also likes these snacks very much, but it is a pity that the young master is dealing with other things at the moment and has no chance to taste them.

"Qing Lin, I have observed your recent practice. You seem to be preparing to hit the realm of Dou Zun, right? Are everything ready?" Zi Yan swallowed the egg tart in her mouth, and then reached out and picked up another one. At the same time, his eyes turned to Qinglin and asked lightly.

"It's true. I have reached the level of Nine-Star Douzong now and am not far from the threshold of Douzong." Qinglin nodded lightly, confirming Zi Yan's guess.

"As for the specific timing of the breakthrough, I haven't made up my mind yet. The young master has mentioned before that he plans to go to the Beast Realm after the Dan Meeting. I don't want my retreat to practice to affect the young master's schedule."

"You can continue to accumulate some cultivation for now, and then consider a breakthrough when the time is right. This might not be a bad choice." Medusa gently wiped away the traces of cream on the corners of her lips and suggested gently.

"Moreover, there was news from the Little Medical Fairy earlier that she has returned to Xingyun Pavilion. According to my idea, after Xiao Ling refines the three thousand flames, he will definitely lead us back to Xingyun Pavilion. By then, you Then you can prepare for your breakthrough in Xingyun Pavilion with peace of mind."

"I understand." Qinglin nodded slightly and responded,

"If I spend too long to break through the realm of Dou Zun, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany the young master on his travels. It would be a pity."

"Oh, you don't have to worry about this matter at all. Xiao Ling is busy absorbing three thousand flames at the moment and has no time to care. This period of time is also free. I and Sister Medusa can accompany you to the beast Domain, capture a few eighth-level snake monsters for you to conquer."

Zi Yan stood up as she spoke, with a proud look between her eyebrows.

"You have indeed rarely had the opportunity to conquer high-level snake monsters before, but this time you can add some more. Once you have the power of these high-level monsters, it will not take too long to break through to the realm of Dou Zun."

Zi Yan's suggestion moved Qing Lin's heart, but she was still a little worried and hesitantly said: "But Xiao Diao is now in a critical period of seclusion. If we leave at this time, will anything happen?"

"Don't worry, with Xiong Zhan sitting here, nothing will go wrong." Zi Yan smiled softly, without giving Qing Lin any more chance to speak. She waved her hand lightly, and the power of space came out.

With a gentle ripple of space, the figures of the three people immediately disappeared from the spot, leaving only the unfinished snacks on the table, quietly placed there... (End of this chapter)
