Yao Chen looked intently at the brilliantly burning flame in his hand. The flame leaped and burst into colorful light, illuminating Yao Chen's face.

Seeing that Yao Lao's expression was full of satisfaction, Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

Before this, he had always been vaguely worried. After all, Yao Chen had actually possessed a strange fire before, and the Bone Spirit Cold Fire was ranked very high on the Strange Fire List.

Therefore, Xiao Ling was really afraid that this fake strange fire produced by the elixir would be unsatisfactory.

However, at this moment, although this fake strange fire is not the real strange fire that is born and raised naturally, its quality is not low.

It contains rich characteristics of strange fire, has many wonderful aspects, and has endless uses.

Looking at Yao Chen's expression again, the joy and cherishment in his eyes were clearly visible, and did not seem to be pretended at all. It was obvious that he was extremely satisfied with the newly acquired flame.

A sincere smile bloomed on Xiao Ling's face. He took two steps forward, his eyes gently fell on the brilliant burning flame in Yao Chen's palm, and said softly:

"Master Yao, since you are satisfied, my trip here is not in vain."

"Haha, what are you talking about?" Yao Chen chuckled and shook his head, his eyes full of gentleness.

"If this doesn't satisfy me, then my request is too high. You are really thoughtful. You can consider everything so thoroughly. It's really rare."

When Yao Chen got the flame, he couldn't help but feel itchy and couldn't wait to show off his skills.

Immediately, he took out the Black Demon Cauldron and some medicinal herbs from his storage ring. He directly used the newly acquired flame and prepared to start refining pills to practice his skills.

Yao Chen smiled and said to Xiao Ling: "I will take this opportunity to get familiar with this flame and see what its specific temperament is when refining the elixir."

Xiao Ling didn't know what to do, so he decided to watch from the side.

Of course, Yao Chen did not refine any high-grade elixirs this time, but only a mere sixth-grade one. With his current extraordinary level of alchemy skills, this was simply an easy task.

Yao Chen's movements were very skillful and smooth. The flames danced and leaped under the Black Demon Cauldron. With his exquisite fire-controlling technique, he refined and fused the herbs in the cauldron bit by bit.

But after a moment, a wisp of elixir fragrance drifted away, and a top-grade imperial pill was successfully produced.

Yao Chen looked at the radiant pill in his hand, his eyes full of satisfaction, and said to Xiao Ling with a smile:
"Although I have just started using this fake fire, the effect is better than I expected. Now that I have mastered it with a little control, I can already use it with ease."

If an ordinary person gets a new fire, it will naturally take a lot of time to become thoroughly familiar with it.

But Yao Chen is naturally different. With his current advanced cultivation and powerful mental strength, to master a flame, he only needs a little familiarity, and it is not a big deal.

Moreover, this flame was originally bred by Yao Chen himself through the elixir. It has no intelligence and is like a blank piece of paper. It completely obeys Yao Chen's command. Yao Chen can easily control every change of it, so it is naturally easy to use and master it.

After Yao Chen tried out the new flame to his heart's content, the purpose of their visit was completely achieved, so they naturally no longer had any intention of staying here any longer.

After a while, they first used some methods to improve and arrange the surrounding environment to prevent any hidden dangers or inappropriateness. After everything was ready, there was no more delay.

Then, there were some faint ripples in the surrounding space, and the ripples seemed like a mysterious door that slowly opened.

The next moment, Xiao Ling and Yao Chen's figures seemed to have merged into the void. In the blink of an eye, they completely disappeared from this place, leaving only that space slowly returning to calm, as if they had never been there...

……

In the room decorated in a simple and elegant style, the walls on all sides are made of the finest sandalwood, engraved with exquisite patterns, and the traces of time make those patterns more charming.

In the corner, there is an incense burner with a unique shape. Special incense is burning in the burner. The curling green smoke rises slowly, carrying a faint fragrance, lingering in the room, as if covering this space with a layer of gauze, making people feel peaceful.

On one side of the room is an antique bookshelf filled with all kinds of precious books, and on the other side are several exquisite ornaments that emit a warm luster under the soft light.

At this time, Xiao Ling was sitting cross-legged quietly on the cushion in the middle of the room, his eyes closed, his face calm and focused.

There was a faint sense of fighting spirit lingering around him. As he took long and even breaths, the fighting spirit flowed into his body like flexible silk threads, flowing slowly along his meridians, constantly nourishing his body and strengthening his cultivation.

Xiao Ling immersed himself in cultivation quietly. Time passed quietly. After an unknown amount of time, his eyes, which had been closed, slowly opened, and a clear light flashed in his eyes.

After finishing a day of training as usual, Xiao Ling looked inward and could clearly feel that his cultivation had improved a little bit, and his fighting spirit had become more powerful. He couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction on his face and nodded slightly.

Xiao Ling now has a unique advantage. He is practicing an extremely rare heaven-level technique. You know, this kind of heaven-level technique is something you can only come across by chance in the entire Douqi Continent.

Moreover, Xiao Ling's own mental power is already very strong, and its strength far exceeds the level corresponding to his current cultivation.

This powerful mental force can accurately control the flow of energy during the practice, so that every bit of fighting spirit can be fully utilized and integrated into the meridians without waste, nourishing his body and improving his cultivation.

It is also because of this that Xiao Ling's training efficiency is extraordinary. Compared with others, his advantage is obvious.

If we just talk about the efficiency of cultivation, even if it is those who practice the same heavenly level techniques, Xiao Ling is probably four or five times faster than them.

If others knew about this speed of cultivation, they would probably be shocked and envious.

However, for Xiao Ling, who had already experienced the rapid improvement of his cultivation with the help of various heavenly and earthly wonders, this kind of routine and ordinary cultivation really felt a little lacking in meaning. After all, the feeling of his cultivation level rising rapidly in a short period of time and his strength increasing like a rocket was too fascinating. In comparison, the current conventional cultivation method seemed a little bland.

However, Xiao Ling knew very well in his heart that this kind of practice was the norm in daily life.

Opportunities in the world are something you can only encounter by chance, so how can you always be so lucky as to come across a rare item that can help you improve your cultivation rapidly?

Most of the time, one still has to rely on one's own feet to be down-to-earth, slowly accumulating fighting spirit step by step, and consolidating the foundation, so that one can go more steadily and further on the road of cultivation.

But at this moment, there were several crisp knocks on the tightly closed door of Xiao Ling's training room. The sound was particularly clear in the quiet environment, breaking the tranquility of the room.

At the same time, a voice that was cold yet gentle came from outside the door and entered Xiao Ling's ears.

"Master, Qing'er has something to tell you. I saw that the movement in your training room had stopped, so Qing'er took the liberty to knock on the door and ask if you are free at the moment."

The sound was like a gurgling mountain spring, making people feel comfortable when listening to it, but it also carried a hint of caution, as if afraid of disturbing Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling was slightly stunned at first, then a faint smile appeared on his face again, and he responded softly: "Qing'er, if you have something to say, then come in and tell me. I just finished my training, so there is nothing urgent."

After saying that, Xiao Ling tidied his clothes slightly, then raised his hand and waved it lightly. A stream of fighting spirit surged out from his palm. The fighting spirit was like a flexible silk thread, going straight to the tightly closed door of the training room, and slowly pushed the door open in the blink of an eye.

The door opened, Xiao Ling looked over and saw Feng Qing'er's slim figure outside the door.

Feng Qing'er was wearing an elegant long skirt, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind, making her figure even more graceful.

Her beautiful eyes were looking towards Xiao Ling. When their eyes met, Xiao Ling gave her a faint smile as a greeting.

Seeing this, Feng Qing'er responded with a gentle smile, took light steps, and slowly walked into the training room.

Seeing Feng Qing'er approaching, Xiao Ling pointed to the futon beside him, motioning her to sit down, and then asked, "Qing'er, is there anything I can help you with?"

Feng Qing'er came in front of Xiao Ling, then sat down lightly, looking at Xiao Ling, she pursed her lips slightly, and then slowly said: "I wonder if you know anything about Hua Zong, sir?"

Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this, and after a little thought, he said:

"Of course I know about the Hua Sect. It is one of the two sects in Zhongzhou. It has a profound foundation and can be regarded as an old-established force. It has stood on this Zhongzhou continent for many years and is very famous. Qing'er, you mentioned the Hua Sect today. I believe you know something about it. Why don't you tell me in detail so that I can listen to it."

Xiao Ling naturally knew about Hua Sect. After all, as one of the two major sects in Zhongzhou, its reputation had long been widely known in Zhongzhou, and everyone knew about it.

Besides, Xiao Ling’s close female friends, the sisters Han Yue and Han Xue, joined the Hua Sect.

Out of concern for them, Xiao Ling would occasionally inquire about the news about the Hua Sect, but the Hua Sect was always very low-key and mysterious, so every time he inquired, he didn't get much useful information and usually only knew the basics.

Today, Xiao Ling couldn't help but be interested when Feng Qing'er mentioned the matter about Hua Zong. He was thinking to himself, is there any important news or something happened in Hua Zong? He wondered if it had anything to do with Han Yue and Han Xue.

"You are right, sir. Qing'er came here this time to tell you something about Hua Zong." Feng Qing'er nodded slightly and then said,
"Not long ago, news came out from Hua Sect that the sect has already determined the candidate for the next leader of Hua Sect, and will soon hold the leader's coronation ceremony. This is a major event for Hua Sect. After the spread of the epidemic, many forces in the entire Central Plains are paying attention to it."

Feng Qing'er paused for a moment, then continued, "Moreover, Hua Zong naturally invited our Xingyun Pavilion to attend the ceremony. I thought this matter was related to you, sir, so I hurried to tell you."

"Have you already chosen a candidate for the Hua Sect's leader? The ceremony to replace the leader will be held soon. This is quite a surprising thing." Xiao Ling frowned slightly, his eyes full of thought.

At this time, Xiao Ling was constantly wondering in his heart, what was the situation with the Hua Sect changing its leader?
Moreover, Xiao Ling was still thinking about the sisters Han Yue and Han Xue. He wondered whether they had followed his previous idea and met Grandma Hua who lived in the back mountain of Hua Sect.

If it really happened as they had imagined before, the two sisters could meet Grandma Hua and have the honor of inheriting her legacy, it would really bring them a lot of benefits.

However, Xiao Ling subconsciously thought that if that situation really happened, the two sisters would probably not be able to have a smooth life.

Hua Jin of the Hua Sect is not an easy person to deal with. He has already regarded the position of the next leader of the Hua Sect as something in his pocket. He cannot bear to see others gain any benefit in this regard, and will probably make things difficult for him.

By then, the two sisters would probably suffer, and one of them might rush to Xingyun Pavilion to seek help from themselves, just like Nalan Yanran in the original novel asked for external assistance for Yun Yun.

But now, let alone the two sisters coming to ask for help, Xiao Ling has not even heard any news related to it, which made him unsure of the situation for a moment.

But Xiao Ling did not speculate too much in this regard, and was too lazy to think about it anymore. After all, it would be difficult to guess the reason just by thinking about it out of thin air.

However, no matter what the final result is, he plans to make a trip to Hua Sect.

After all, it has been many years since Xiao Ling last saw the sisters, and he really missed them.

This time, I have to have a good time with them, reminisce about the past and exchange feelings.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ling's face returned to its previous calm and easygoing expression. He raised his eyes to look at Feng Qing'er and said in a calm tone:

"Since Hua Zong has invited me, I will go there on behalf of Xingyun Pavilion. It just so happens that I have heard of the name of Hua Zong for a long time, but I have never been there. This time I can go there to broaden my horizons and take a look at what kind of splendor Hua Zong is like, and also find out what is going on with the change of the sect leader..."
