After considering this aspect, Yun Yun gradually relaxed. She began to look at the result of this transaction from another perspective. Not only did she avoid a long wait, but she also obtained the elixir personally made by Xiao Ling, the master of alchemy. This in itself had achieved her original goal.

She even began to feel a little fortunate, because if Xiao Ling had not refined these pills in advance, she might have to pay more to really ask Xiao Ling to refine the pills, or he might not even intend to waste time refining pills for the Yunlan Sect and bear more uncertainties.

Now, all the risks and waiting are a thing of the past, and she can immediately use these pills to help Yunlan Sect solve the imminent problem.

Yun Yun exhaled gently to calm the fluctuations in her heart, then cast a gentle look at Xiao Ling across from her and said, "Of course, I have no doubt about the quality of the pills refined by Master Xiao Ling."

Although she said so, Yun Yun's actions revealed her caution as the leader of a sect. She stretched out her hands, gently and quickly opened the two jade boxes, and presented the pills in the boxes to her eyes.

As the jade box was opened, two strong energies escaped from the box. Different from the gentle light of the previous Huangji Pill, the Pozong Pill exuded a deep and mysterious aura.

Yun Yun's gaze lingered on the Pozong Pill for a long time. She could feel the power contained in this pill. It was a magical power that could help people break through the bottleneck of cultivation and reach a new realm.

For Yunshan, this pill is not only a pill that helps to break through the realm, but also a way to prolong life.

She took a deep breath to calm her excitement, then slowly closed the jade box, and then put the two jade boxes into the ring.

After safely putting away the two precious pills, Yun Yun already had the intention of leaving.

She knew that time was running out and she had to return immediately to hand the Pozong Pill to Yunshan personally. This was related to whether her master could break through the bottleneck of cultivation and prolong his life.

Yun Yun slowly stood up, adjusted her skirt gracefully, and then bowed to Xiao Ling, her words full of sincerity: "The Yunlan Sect is grateful for what happened today. Our sect will always remember Master Xiao Ling's help. From now on, no matter when and where Master Xiao Ling needs anything, all he needs is a letter, and the Yunlan Sect will do its best to help."

Xiao Ling also noticed that Yun Yun was about to leave, and did not intend to keep her or continue chatting. Xiao Ling only smiled faintly at Yun Yun's words of gratitude, knowing that most of them were just polite words, and did not take them too seriously.

He did not stand up, but responded calmly: "Master Yun, there is no need to be polite. What happened today is also a matter of fate. I believe that under the leadership of Master Yun, the Yunlan Sect will surely usher in a more glorious future. If we are destined to meet again in the future, we will naturally continue to cooperate."

Yun Yun nodded slightly, indicating her intention to leave. She said softly, "Since everything has been settled, and there are still important matters for me to deal with within the sect, I will not stay for long."

Xiao Ling also responded in a polite tone: "Since Sect Master Yun has something important to attend to, I won't force you to stay. I also have some things to take care of here, so I won't send you to the door."

Yun Yun nodded in greeting, turned around and walked gracefully out of the meeting room. When she arrived at the door, Yun Yun looked back in the direction of Xiao Ling with an inexplicable look in her eyes, but she only saw Xiao Ling carefully looking at the prescription and not paying attention to herself.

Seeing this, the maid from before immediately stepped forward and opened the door for her. Yun Yun noticed the movement, retracted her gaze, and without any further delay, walked directly out of the Xiao family's reception hall.

As soon as she got out of the door, Yun Yun did not delay any longer. She took a deep breath, and the Dou Qi in her body flowed. A pair of blue wings formed by Dou Qi spread out from behind her. The wings emitted a faint light, as if they were real, full of the beauty of power.

She leaped lightly, and with a fierce flap of her fighting spirit wings, she soared into the air, quickly flying towards the back mountain of the Yunlan Sect.

In the sky, Yun Yun's figure was like an elegant flying bird, crossing the sky, leaving a beautiful arc. Her speed was extremely fast, and she disappeared from the Xiao family's sight in a short time, leaving only a faint fluctuation of fighting spirit to prove that she had been there.

As soon as Yun Yun disappeared from sight, the living room was greeted by the light footsteps of three girls.

They were Zi Yan, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin who had packed their belongings. The arrival of the three of them added some liveliness to the quiet hall.

Qing Lin looked around the reception room and after confirming that there was no one else, he asked with a hint of curiosity: "Young Master, has the leader of the Yunlan Sect left?"

The last time Yun Yun brought Nalan Yanran to the Xiao family to cancel the engagement, Zi Yan did meet Yun Yun, but Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin had never seen the face of the only female Dou Huang in the Jia Ma Empire.

In Canaan Academy, except for Zi Yan and Xiao Yixian, all other strong people who have reached the Dou Huang realm are men. Yun Yun, as a rare female Dou Huang among them, naturally aroused the keen interest of Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian.

Xiao Ling nodded gently, stood up, stretched his body, and revealed a sense of relief in his tone: "After the transaction was completed, she said that there seemed to be some urgent matters in the sect, and left in a hurry. But according to what Jia Xingtian told me before, the time of Yunshan, the former leader of Yunlan Sect, should not be long. She was in a hurry to leave this time, perhaps she wanted to give Yunshan the Breaking Sect Pill as soon as possible, so that he could use the Breaking Sect Pill to break through to Douzong and achieve the effect of prolonging his life."

Xiao Ling was still very interested in Yunshan, the previous leader of the Yunlan Sect. After all, in his previous life, Yunshan had a nickname called "Crazy Brother", and his status was on the same level as Hai Bodong.

Zi Yan sniffed the lingering aroma of medicinal herbs in the air in the reception room, then quickly ran to Xiao Ling, hugged his arm intimately, and asked curiously: "Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, did you get a lot of delicious food just now? I can smell the fragrance of several precious medicinal herbs here?"

Xiao Ling rubbed Zi Yan's smooth purple hair lovingly and responded with a smile: "Indeed, I have obtained a lot of good things. When the time comes, I will pick out a few that taste better and help you make them into pills."

Hearing this, Zi Yan's eyes instantly sparkled with excitement, and she said happily: "Okay, I'll wait, and you mustn't break your promise."

"Haha, when have I ever lied to you?" Xiao Ling laughed out loud, and that hearty laughter echoed in the reception room. Then he asked with a hint of curiosity in his tone, "By the way, why don't I see your sister Medusa? Has she left?"

When Zi Yan heard Xiao Ling mention Medusa, a trace of barely perceptible loss flashed across her originally happy eyes, but it only lasted for a moment, and she quickly returned to her previous state.

Before she could speak, Xiao Yixian explained softly, "Queen Medusa had already left before we came to find you."

After learning that Medusa had left, Xiao Ling did not continue to ask. His previous mention of Medusa was just a spur of the moment.

As if he suddenly thought of something, Xiao Ling turned to Qing Lin and said, "Master Yao, I just got a seventh-grade high-level pill recipe. Please check the herbs needed to refine this pill and see if we can collect them all."

As he spoke, Xiao Ling had already taken the seventh-grade recipe for the "Spirit Source Cleansing Marrow Pill" in his hand. It was densely written with the names and proportions of various complex medicinal materials.

Just as Xiao Ling's voice fell, a faint white light flashed on the surface of the bone inflammation ring on Qinglin's finger, and Yao Chen's translucent soul body appeared beside Qinglin.

Yao Chen stroked his beard, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes, and he said with interest: "Oh? You got a seventh-grade high-level pill recipe? It seems that you are really lucky. Come, let me take a good look at what this pill recipe is."

Xiao Ling nodded slightly without saying anything. He raised his arm and floated the prescription to Yao Chen like a falling leaf. Yao Chen reached out to take it, his movements light and accurate.

After receiving the recipe, Yao Chen immediately injected his soul power into it and began to carefully examine every item recorded on the recipe. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was focused, obviously trying to deeply understand the essence of this recipe.

Although each recipe has a limit on the number of times it can be used, this is not a problem for Xiao Ling and Yao Chen. They already have the memory of reading the recipe, and they only need to spend some time to redraw the same recipe based on their memory.

After carefully examining the recipe, Yao Chen raised his head, with a look of approval and contemplation in his eyes, and said to Xiao Ling: "This recipe is indeed extraordinary. The combination of medicinal materials is exquisite. It is a rare elixir that can enhance the potential of cultivators. The refining technique is also quite unique, obviously derived from some lost ancient method. Even I was quite inspired by it."

Chapter 232 Arriving at the Mysterious Valley of Luoyan Empire

After a slight pause, Yao Chen continued, "It's just that we are still short of a few herbs needed to refine this pill. I have a young seedling of the Spiritual Origin Fruit in the main ingredient, and we just need to use the 'Heavenly Bottle' to ripen it. As for the Marrow Cleansing Flower and the Heavenly Spirit Root, although they are not extremely rare seventh-grade herbs, we don't have them in stock at the moment."

Hearing Yao Chen's words, Xiao Ling couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his mindset. After all, he was currently in a relatively barren area like the northwest continent, and the resources he had were indeed limited.

But once they arrive in Zhongzhou and follow Yao Chen to Xingyun Pavilion, their resource situation will improve rapidly. They will also be able to earn resources and improve their alchemy skills by helping others refine pills.

So, Xiao Ling exhaled lightly, smiled and suggested: "In that case, let's get ready to set off. This exploration of the ruins may allow us to gain something and discover some precious treasures."

Hearing Xiao Ling's words, a light of expectation flickered in everyone's eyes.

Zi Yan hugged Xiao Ling's arm tightly, her voice filled with irrepressible excitement: "Great, let's set off soon!" Her tone was full of longing for the upcoming adventure. Obviously, she had extremely high expectations for this exploration of the ruins.

Afterwards, Yao Chen's soul gradually dissipated and returned to the depths of the Bone Flame Ring. Xiao Ling led Zi Yan, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin to his backyard and rode on the Sky Breaking Seat together.

Under Xiao Ling's command, the Splitting Seat twisted its slender body and shook it violently, carrying them into the sky and flying towards the direction of the Luoyan Empire.

As the speed increased, the wind whistled in their ears, and their figures soon became a small black dot on the horizon, eventually disappearing into the vast sky.

……

Luoyan Empire, Lingfeng Town.

Lingfeng Town is located in the south of Luoyan Empire, surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery. It has a pleasant climate, distinct four seasons and abundant products.

Most of the townspeople here are hardworking, kind and hospitable. They make a living by farming and hunting, and also have some small business activities. During festivals, the townspeople will hold grand celebrations, with everyone singing and dancing and sharing delicious food.

There are three major forces in Lingfeng Town. One is the "Monster Hunting Mercenary Group", whose leader is Lin Meng, a seven-star master. The members of the mercenary group often go deep into the Monster Mountain Range to hunt monsters and collect precious monster resources in order to obtain generous rewards.

The second is "Lingcaotang", whose owner is Li You, a seven-star master. Lingcaotang is mainly engaged in the buying and selling of various medicinal materials and has extensive trade relations with surrounding areas.

The last and most powerful is the local government of the Luoyan Empire. The person in charge is named Wang Zheng, a six-star master. He is responsible for maintaining public order in Lingfeng Town, enforcing the relevant laws of the Luoyan Empire, and is also responsible for matters such as taxation.

These three major forces each perform their respective duties in Lingfeng Town, are interdependent and restrain each other, and jointly maintain the stability and prosperity of this remote town in the Luoyan Empire.

On this sunny day, Lingfeng Town was still bustling and busy as usual. There was an endless stream of pedestrians on the streets, most of whom were mercenaries wearing leather armor and carrying weapons. They were either in a hurry or in groups of three or five, adding a bit of ruggedness and vitality to this border town.

The sun was shining on the cobblestone streets of Lingfeng Town. Two mercenaries who had just returned from the Warcraft Mountains were sitting outside the town's tavern, enjoying a leisurely afternoon.

Their clothes were covered in dust, and their leather armor was stained with dirt and grass, showing that they had obviously been through a difficult expedition.

One of the mercenaries, who was tall and strong with a rough face, raised his glass and said with a smile, "We had a good harvest today. We hunted a second-level wind antelope. Its horn is a good material for refining medicine."

Another mercenary, who was a bit thinner and had the frost of time on his face, nodded in agreement, with a hint of pride in his eyes: "Yes, this harvest is enough for us to enjoy for a week."

Just as the two were immersed in the joy of harvest, the sound of footsteps approaching from afar broke the tranquility.

A mercenary of medium build with a sly gleam in his eyes came running over. He was panting and his tone was a little excited: "Have you heard? The leader of the Golden Goose Sect, Yan Luotian, went to capture the Purple Flame Wind Wing Snake again this time. But it seems that he failed again and returned empty-handed. Our leader just released the news that anyone who can provide clues about the Purple Flame Wind Wing Snake will receive a generous reward. You must pay attention when you go to the Warcraft Mountain Range next time."

The burly mercenary frowned slightly, and a hint of disapproval was revealed in his voice: "Sect Master Yan has visited us three times, but each time he came back empty-handed. The Purple Flame Wind Winged Snake is the overlord of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. It just broke through to the seventh-level Magical Beast a few years ago. How can it be subdued so easily?"

The skinny mercenary also shook his head and sighed, "Indeed, the Purple Flame Wind Wing Snake is well-known in the Magic Beast Mountain Range. Although Lord Yan Luotian is famous, it is undoubtedly difficult to tame it. As for tracking the Purple Flame Wind Wing Snake, it is well known that it lives deep in the hinterland of the Magic Beast Mountain Range. For ordinary mercenaries like us, rashly going deep into its territory would be courting death."

The conversation between the three attracted the attention of other mercenaries around them, and everyone joined in the discussion, and the atmosphere outside the tavern suddenly became lively. In this small border town, the movements of some big shots are always the most popular topic.

In a quiet corner of the tavern, four unique travelers were sitting at a table. Their clothes were out of tune with the style of this border town and they were obviously not locals of this remote town.

These four people were Xiao Ling and his group from the Jia Ma Empire. Five days had passed since they set out on their journey to the Luo Yan Empire.

They arrived at this small town closest to the Warcraft Mountains, intending to rest first and then head to the Warcraft Mountains to look for the Dou Zun ruins recorded on the map.

Zi Yan suddenly spoke out of curiosity: "I never thought that there was a seventh-level snake monster hidden in the Monster Mountain Range. But why did that Yan Luotian have to attack that snake monster?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Ling beside her patiently explained: "In the Golden Goose Sect, there is a method for making a flying fighting skill called 'Sky Goose Nine-Line Wings', which involves using the wings of magic beasts. The higher the grade of the wings, the higher the quality of the flying fighting skill produced."

"The Purple Flame Wind Wing Snake is famous for its speed. There are almost no magical beasts of the same level that can match it. Yan Luotian must want to use the wings of the Purple Flame Wind Wing Snake to create a flying fighting skill. However, the Purple Flame Wind Wing Snake is too fast. Even a Dou Zong strongman like Yan Luotian, who is known for his speed, can hardly subdue the Purple Flame Wind Wing Snake easily."

After listening to Xiao Ling's explanation, Zi Yan nodded in sudden enlightenment, with a sly light flashing in her eyes. She suggested, "Since you said that the little snake is so powerful, we might as well catch it and let Qing Lin tame it. Qing Lin's strongest magical beast right now is only the sixth-level Shadow Demon Python. The seventh-level little snake will definitely greatly increase Qing Lin's combat power."

Zi Yan's proposal made Qing Lin curious. She turned her gaze to Xiao Ling, her eyes flashing with interest in the snake-like monster.

Although she was full of expectations, Qinglin knew that everything still needed to be arranged by Xiao Ling. She had full trust in Xiao Ling, and no matter what decision Xiao Ling made, she would follow it without reservation.

Xiao Ling felt everyone's gazes, smiled calmly, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Qing Lin's hair, and said: "Since we already know the news of this seventh-level snake monster, we will naturally not let it go easily. Let's go explore the Dou Zun ruins first, and then search for resources in the Monster Mountain Range after we come back. By the way, help Qing Lin catch a few more snake monsters."

He paused and continued, "In the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy and the Magical Beast Mountain Range of the Gama Empire, most of the magical beasts above level five have already been captured by me and tamed by Qinglin. Now that we've come to the Magical Beast Mountain Range of the Luoyan Empire, it's a good opportunity to continue searching for some powerful snake-like magical beasts to help Qinglin's strength reach a new level."

Xiao Ling's plan was unanimously agreed upon by everyone. Little Medical Immortal then spoke with a hint of anticipation in her voice, "I can also take this opportunity to explore the Magic Beast Mountain Range. It's said that Dream Remnant Grass grows there, which is the key ingredient I need to prepare my new poison."

Zi Yan also nodded excitedly, with a gleam in her eyes of having discovered a treasure: "From my perception, there are indeed many precious treasures hidden in the Magic Beast Mountain Range. When the time comes, we must catch them all."

Qing Lin lowered his eyes meekly and said softly, "I will do whatever the young master arranges."

After gaining everyone's unanimous approval, Xiao Ling did not waste any time and quickly finished the food on the table. Afterwards, he led the three women along the route marked on the map and headed straight to the location marked on the map.

……

In the core area of ​​this Warcraft Mountain Range, there is a ravine sandwiched between two steep peaks. It is called "Juehe Valley" by the mercenaries who have luckily arrived here.

The sun sprinkled sparingly from the towering peaks, casting patches of light on the thick layer of dead leaves. The air was filled with the smell of moist soil and the freshness of plants, and occasionally a subtle smell of wildness could be smelled.

Towering old trees rose from the ground, their crowns tightly intertwined, almost covering the entire sky. The tree trunks were covered with mosses and vines, and some unknown wild flowers quietly bloomed under the shade of the trees, adding a touch of bright color to this dark forest.

In the valley, all kinds of strange plants grow, some with huge leaves like fans, others as thin as needles, in various shapes. Some plants are covered with a layer of fluorescence, providing a light source for creatures in the forest at night. And those vines and shrubs, either entwined and climbed, or grew alone, forming a complex and varied ecosystem.

In this forest, various magical beasts lurk among them. They are the real masters of this primeval forest. Occasionally, you can hear low roars from afar, or rustling sounds in the bushes nearby, which remind every creature that steps into this place that this is their territory.

On the ground, a thick layer of fallen leaves covered the soil, which was soft to step on, but also hid unknown risks. Under the fallen leaves, there might be lurking monsters, traps, or precious medicinal herbs.

The streams in the Juehe Valley are crystal clear, flowing through the rocks and making pleasant gurgling sounds. Occasionally, colorful fish can be seen swimming in the streams, as if they have long been accustomed to the noise from the outside world.

In this core area, everything seems so primitive and mysterious. Every corner here is full of vitality, but also lurking danger.

For explorers who dare to go deep into this place, every step must be taken with caution, because here, the forces of nature and the threat of monsters are everywhere.

However, in this core area of ​​the Monster Mountain Range, which is usually considered to be full of dangers, four unusual visitors arrived today. For Xiao Ling and his three companions, the dangerous environment here did not seem to be a threat.

Zi Yan nibbled on the golden fruit in her hand, the sweet juice flowing down the corners of her mouth. She turned to Xiao Ling who was concentrating on checking the map and asked curiously, "Xiao Ling, how far is it to our destination? We have been in this Monster Mountain Range for two days."

Since they set foot in this magical beast mountain range, Xiao Ling and his companions were not in a hurry to travel. Xiao Ling collected all the rare medicinal herbs he encountered along the way, and the snakes he encountered were easily subdued by Qing Lin using the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils, while the others lost their lives under a few punches from Zi Yan, leaving only a few shiny magic cores that Xiao Ling took away in a big bag.
