People in Doupo: The beginning of the game intercepts the rich woman Xun'er

What Xiao Ling said naturally made sense.

Yao Chen is currently in Xingyun Pavilion. He is not involved in any trouble and lives a leisurely and comfortable life, but he has a lot of free time.

If Xiao Ling encounters an unexpected or difficult problem outside, Yao Chen, the three-star Dou Sheng, will be the one who can lend a hand.

Although Yao Chen might not be able to win against the three Fighting Saint Dragon Kings with his own strength, he should be able to protect Zi Yan and ensure her safe departure.

Zhu Li listened to Xiao Ling's somewhat puzzling words, his brows slightly frowned, and a trace of doubt and curiosity arose in his heart.

But when he saw that Xiao Ling looked normal and there was nothing unusual about him, as if what he said was true, he swallowed the question that was about to come out of his mouth and did not ask in the end.

After a moment of hesitation, Zhu Li said calmly:
"In that case, my friend, please come with me to the Princess's retreat. As you said before, we should first set up the aura-isolating formation so that the Princess can practice with greater peace of mind."

Hearing Zhu Li mention this, Xiao Ling nodded in agreement. Thinking that he had nothing important to do at the moment, he said, "That's just what I want. I happen to have some free time, so let's get this resolved first."

After saying that, the two of them did not delay any longer. They stood up from their seats at the same time and walked towards the entrance of the hall side by side.

Pushing open the heavy palace door, they flashed and turned into a stream of light, one red and one purple, and flew swiftly towards the depths of Ancient Dragon Island, where Zi Yan was in seclusion.

……

Suddenly, two swift streaks of light flashed across the horizon, disappearing in a flash like shooting stars.

They did not flee far away, but turned suddenly and shot towards the vast mountains below.

In a flash, two red lights disappeared into the mountains and landed precisely in front of the magnificent hall standing on the top of the mountain.

As soon as Xiao Ling and Zhu Li landed and before they could even straighten their clothes, ripples suddenly spread across the void in front of them, as if a boulder had been thrown into a calm lake, causing circles of dark blue light to ripple outwards.

With a soft "hum" sound, two figures slowly walked out from the ripples, and their figures gradually solidified.

The visitors were none other than the Great Elder Qingshan and the Second Elder Qingmu who were guarding here.

As soon as the two elders appeared, Xiao Ling and Zhu Li stepped forward together, clasped their fists and bowed, saying respectfully, "Greetings, Great Elder and Second Elder."

Qingshan and Qingmu smiled at each other, a warm smile on their faces, and nodded in return. Then, Elder Qingshan's eyes fell on Xiao Ling, and asked with some curiosity:

"Friend Xiao Ling, why are you here today? Just now, we sensed a strange sign of a pill being made. Could it be that all the pills you were refining have already been completed?"

Facing Qingshan's question, Xiao Ling nodded slightly, then shook his head and explained:
"What the elder said is true. The rare medicinal herbs that were taken from the Ancient Dragon Island treasury have indeed been refined. However, I have already handed over all those elixirs to Elder Zhuli for safekeeping, in case of emergency. I believe this will definitely help with the current predicament of Ancient Dragon Island."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Li nodded to confirm.

Hearing this and seeing Zhuli's confirmation, the two elders Qingshan and Qingmu couldn't help but show joy on their faces.

After all, they still remembered clearly that Xiao Ling had refined a series of ninth-grade elixirs some time ago.

Ninth-grade elixirs can be of great help to powerful cultivators like them in consolidating their cultivation, healing wounds and recovering their bodies. They are truly rare treasures.

If this batch of pills can be used properly, it will undoubtedly bring immeasurable help to Ancient Dragon Island.

However, just as the two elders were secretly calculating and preparing to express their gratitude, Xiao Ling suddenly changed the subject and continued, "However, Elder, I didn't come here today specifically for this matter. In fact, I have another important matter to attend to."

Elder Qingmu, who was standing by, saw Xiao Ling's serious expression and raised his eyebrows slightly. He asked, "Oh? Is there something else important? Then tell me, what is it? Do you need our help?"

"I heard from Elder Zhuli that the four dragon islands will soon converge. After much consideration, I decided to set up some aura-isolating formations at Ziyan's training ground."

Xiao Ling did not hide anything and told his plan:

"Firstly, East Dragon Island is about to merge with the other three Dragon Islands. I'm worried that the abnormal behavior displayed by Zi Yan during her training will be noticed by the people from the other Dragon Islands. Secondly, this is also to avoid unnecessary trouble."

After listening to Xiao Ling's explanation, the two elders' eyes met briefly, and then an expression of understanding appeared on their faces.

The two elders had naturally long been aware of the upcoming intersection of East Dragon Island and the other three Dragon Islands, and it could even be said that they had been secretly paying attention to it for a long time.

However, they had given in-depth thought and deduction on how to deal with this potentially unpredictable encounter. However, facing the unknown powerful opponent and the complex situation, it was difficult to come up with any foolproof plan at the moment, and they could only place their greatest hope on Princess Zi Yan.

They prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that Her Royal Highness the Princess could quickly absorb and integrate the energy of the Dragon Emperor Origin Fruit, which contained endless power.

By then, if Zi Yan could fully awaken to the legendary supreme dragon phoenix, then wiping out the three other treacherous, rebellious Dragon Islands and unifying the fading Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan would no longer be a distant dream but a reality within reach. This was undoubtedly their greatest hope at the moment.

However, reality is often harsher than imagined. They understand that while hoping for success is important, they also need to plan ahead, always prepared for unexpected and potentially unfavorable situations. Any negligence could lead to irreversible consequences.

Because of this, Xiao Ling's proposal to set up an aura-isolating formation in the place where Zi Yan was practicing in seclusion seemed particularly reasonable, and could even be said to be a timely relief.

This not only demonstrated his meticulous consideration for Zi Yan's safety, but more importantly, this seemingly simple move could indeed provide Zi Yan with an additional safeguard at a critical moment when the situation was changing and undercurrents were surging, thus avoiding unnecessary trouble caused in advance by the exposure of abnormalities in her practice, and securing a safer and more stable practice environment for the princess.

This far-sightedness made the two elders nod secretly to Xiao Ling.

After listening, Elder Qingshan stroked his beard, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes. He nodded to Xiao Ling and solemnly said, "Young friend's suggestion is indeed excellent. In that case, please proceed." Elder Qingmu chimed in, a gentle smile on his face, "Although our understanding of these formations is not entirely proficient, if you encounter any difficulties in setting up the formation and require manpower or magical assistance, please feel free to ask. We will certainly provide our full support."

"No need for help," Xiao Ling waved his hand with a confident smile on his face, "The arrangement of these formations is not very difficult, leave it to me alone." He just smiled at the kindness of the two elders and did not ask them to provide any help.

After all, having studied the techniques of a talisman master for so long with the Ancestral Stone Spirit, he had already accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experience regarding various array formations, mastering many of their intricacies. Setting up a few arrays capable of isolating auras was a piece of cake for him.

As for the consumption, it only required some energy to drive the formation, and preparing some magic cores was enough. He could prepare these things himself and there was no need to take them from Ancient Dragon Island.

After saying that, Xiao Ling didn't delay any longer. He leaped lightly and flew towards the top of the hall like a wisp of smoke.

Seeing this, Elder Qingshan and Elder Qingmu looked at each other, then called out to Zhuli who was standing next to them. The three of them turned their gazes in the direction where Xiao Ling was leaving, intending to see how he would arrange the formation, with an interested look on their faces.

Xiao Ling's figure slowly floated down, finally standing steadily above the top of the hall, overlooking the magnificent palace below. He scanned the area and accurately locked onto the core position of the formation.

After I determined the position, I officially began to set up the formation.

Xiao Ling raised his right hand, a glimmer of light gathering at his fingertips, which he quickly sketched in the air. As his low incantation rang out, complex and profound runes emerged like living creatures, quickly merging into the ground, the walls, and even the air.

These runes intertwined and seemed to have life, echoing each other, and gradually formed a faint halo with the hall as the center. That was the prototype of the first level of the formation.

Its main function is to provide initial isolation, keeping out most conventional breath detections, as if it were covering the hall with an invisible cloak.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling also raised his left hand, and a green light shot out from his fingertips, interweaving into a denser mesh structure in the air, covering the first layer of halo.

The golden runes gleamed with a sharp luster, with the characteristics of interference and confusion, making anyone who tried to spy on them feel misled and unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.

This is the second level of formation, which adds defense and confusion effects on the basis of isolation.

Finally, Xiao Ling took a deep breath, and a calm and vast aura emanated from his body.

Purple light spread from under his feet, like mercury pouring on the ground, penetrating into the first two layers of the formation and completely enveloping them.

The purple light flowed like the finest silk, gently but firmly separating the hall from the outside world.

This is the third and deepest level of the formation. Its goal is to completely conceal the existence and make all the aura inside the hall fall silent, as if this place had never existed.

There are three levels of formations, each with different effects, but they are all closely centered around the core of "isolating aura."

When the last rune stabilized, blue, gold and purple lights began to flow slowly, creating a wonderful resonance and linkage with each other.

The first level of filtering, the second level of interference, and the third level of concealment complement each other to form a tight and difficult-to-breakthrough protection system, achieving the best results far beyond expectations.

The entire hall, now enveloped by the formation, was like a pearl wrapped in layers of magic, quietly suspended between heaven and earth, devoid of any aura.

The three elders Qingshan, Qingmu and Zhuli who were watching from the side were all stunned when they saw Xiao Ling's smooth operation.

As Xiao Ling's fingertips moved, his soul power was used so exquisitely, as if it had merged with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, activating runes and arranging formations. The ingenuity and agility involved were something they had never seen in their lives.

Although there are some formation books collected on the Ancient Dragon Island, most of them are based on killing and attacking, emphasizing power and dominance. This is the first time they have seen an arrangement like Xiao Ling's, which is delicate, secretive, and layered, and designed to isolate the aura.

Even though they didn't fully understand the specific structure and layout of the formation, they could clearly see the various mysteries contained within it just from the flowing light and changing aura when the three formations were stacked together.

A more intuitive feeling was that when the triple formation was completely stabilized and resonated with each other, the three elders with profound cultivation could no longer feel any fluctuations of breath emanating from the hall covered by the formation, as if there was only an empty space there with nothing.

The effect was obvious and far exceeded expectations. The formation arranged by Xiao Ling was not only ingenious, but also extremely effective!

Xiao Ling stood in the void above the hall, his eyes sweeping over the formation below which had lost its light and returned to calm. A look of satisfaction appeared on his face and he nodded slightly.

Based on his previous observations and experiments, he had already reached a conclusion: barring any special circumstances, this triple-layered formation would be sufficient to completely conceal any being whose aura intensity did not exceed the limit of a four-star Dou Sheng.

Considering Zi Yan's current special situation, such an arrangement should be considered very safe.

Even Xiao Ling, who had personally set up the formation, could hardly detect any signs of activity in the hall when he used all his mental power to investigate.

If he hadn't known that was where the main hall was, he would have probably overlooked it, mistakenly thinking it was empty.

Xiao Ling turned around and looked at the three elders floating across from him with a relaxed smile on his face. "Three elders, the formation has been set up. I'd like to take a look at its effects. What do you think?"

Elder Qingshan smiled upon hearing this and nodded, saying, "Young friend Xiao Ling, your use of soul power is truly eye-opening. The title of high-level alchemy grandmaster is truly well-deserved. Such exquisite soul control is beyond the reach of the rest of us. It seems that simply using 'alchemy grandmaster' to describe young friend Xiao Ling is no longer accurate. I'm afraid that in the art of formations, few can compare with you."

Xiao Ling just smiled faintly at this usual compliment and didn't take it to heart.

Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he changed the subject and said to the three elders, "By the way, I heard before that there is a void thunder pool near this Ancient Dragon Island. I wonder if it is true?"
