People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

Facing the thanks from the Abyss Water Crocodile King, Little Medical Fairy waved her hand and said, "You're welcome. We didn't have much conflict to begin with, and it didn't take me too much effort to treat you."

The Abyss Water Crocodile King's gaze lingered on Xiao Yixian for a moment, complex and profound, and then it glanced at Xiao Ling and the other three. It looked back at the depths of the valley behind the lake again, with an indescribable nostalgia flashing in its eyes.

It turned back and looked at Xiao Yixian again, and said in a low voice: "Human, as proof that you defeated me, I will give you a gift."

The words of the Abyss Water Crocodile King made the four of them curious. Their eyes were full of anticipation, wanting to know what kind of reward he would give out.

Under the curious gaze of Xiao Ling and the other three, the Abyss Water Crocodile King slowly took a few steps back, then raised its head and let out a long roar that shook the earth. As it roared, its entire body began to emit a strong and dazzling blue light, like a blue sun rising in the valley.

The Abyss Water Crocodile King began to guide the power in his body and converge it towards the Deep Turbulence Source Crystal in his body. As the energy flowed, layers of blue ripples appeared on the surface of his body, like rippling water, sparkling, and the entire valley was shrouded in this layer of mysterious blue light.

Witnessing the strange behavior of the Abyss Water Crocodile King, the four of them could not help but feel puzzled. Little Medical Fairy was the first to break the silence. She frowned and asked, "What is the Abyss Water Crocodile King doing?"

Just as the four were puzzled, Yao Lao's voice suddenly sounded, with a hint of amazement: "Tsk tsk, what a rare scene."

After hearing Yao Lao's nonsensical answer, Xiao Ling hurriedly asked, "Yao Lao, what exactly is going on? Please explain it to us."

Yao Chen chuckled, and then answered the four people's doubts: "After the death of the Abyss Water Crocodile King, although the energy in its body will be automatically injected into the Deep Tide Source Crystal, if it has not suffered a fatal blow, they can also choose to actively destroy the Deep Tide Source Crystal in its body, leaving those hunters empty-handed."

"However, there is a special case," Yao Chen continued, "that is when the Abyss Water Crocodile King is in good health and voluntarily injects his own cultivation into the Deep Turbulence Source Crystal. Doing so will cause his cultivation to decline, his physique to weaken, and his cultivation to basically be unable to improve. Even if he dies, he will not be able to inject his energy into the Source Crystal again. I have only seen this kind of situation in books, and have never witnessed it with my own eyes. After all, how could an Abyss Water Crocodile King be willing to sacrifice his own strength to cultivate the next generation in his prime?"

After listening to Yao Chen's explanation, Qing Lin thought for a moment, and then asked: "Master, so this Abyss Water Crocodile King voluntarily injected his cultivation into the Deep Turbulence Source Crystal, and then gave it to Sister Xiao Yixian as a gift as a reward for her victory?"

Yao Chen's voice sounded again, this time with some certainty: "Looking at the situation, it should be correct."

Little Medical Fairy was still a little confused by this. She asked, puzzled, "But why would it do this? Consume its own cultivation to fulfill my wish?"

Xiao Ling smiled easily and said, "This is a simple question. You can just ask it directly after you finish. Anyway, it's a good thing for you and there's no harm in it."

Hearing Xiao Ling's words, the Little Medical Fairy nodded, did not continue asking questions, and continued to look in the direction of the Abyss Water Crocodile King.

As the energy gathered, the breath of the Abyss Water Crocodile King gradually weakened. Its body was no longer as powerful as before, but became a little sluggish, its muscles were no longer tense, and its body seemed to have shrunk a little. On its skin, blue light flowed, as if water was flowing quickly under its skin, and finally gathered into the Deep Turbulence Source Crystal in its body.

This process lasted for a while, the blue light on the Abyss Water Crocodile King became brighter and brighter, while its aura became weaker and weaker. Finally, when all the energy was gathered into the Deep Turbulence Source Crystal, the Abyss Water Crocodile King's body regained its calmness, and its eyes opened again, but there was no longer the previous sharpness in its eyes, but a deep tranquility and peace.

Xiao Ling and his companions watched this scene quietly. They could feel that the power of the Abyss Water Crocodile King was changing. Its body and breath were very different from before.

Only half an hour had passed, and the aura of the Abyss Water Crocodile King had undergone a drastic change. Originally a sixth-level peak magic beast, it now exuded an aura equivalent to that of a human Douling level, which was about fourth level. Although its body was still as huge, it was no longer as strong as before.

Then, the body of the Abyss Water Crocodile King trembled slightly, and it opened its huge mouth. A blue energy flowed out from its body, pouring out like water and gathering in its mouth.

Within this strong blue light, a deep blue ball of light slowly floated out. A mysterious light flowed on its surface, as bright as a star.

The deep blue crystal, like the most precious pearl in the deep sea, exudes a mysterious and deep luster. Its surface, with water-like patterns flickering in the faint light, seems to contain endless life force. As soon as the crystal appeared, it firmly attracted the attention of Xiao Ling and the other three.

Qing Lin stared at the beautiful crystal and couldn't help but blurt out: "How beautiful!"

A trace of reluctance flashed across the eyes of the Abyss Water Crocodile King, but it was quickly replaced by a look of relief.

The source crystal slowly rose from the mouth of the Abyss Water Crocodile King, like a star separated from its mother body. Its existence made the surrounding air fresh and pure.

The gem slowly rotated in the air, emitting a faint light, like the brightest star in the night sky, illuminating the slightly dim space around it.

As the source crystal slowly floated, it finally went towards Xiao Yixian. Xiao Yixian stretched out her hand, palm facing up, to accept the gift from the Abyss Water Crocodile King.

The Deep Wave Source Crystal fell lightly into her hands. She could feel the powerful energy contained within it, which was the essence of the Abyss Water Crocodile King's many years of cultivation.

Little Medical Fairy, full of doubts, cast her inquiring eyes towards the Abyss Water Crocodile King. She was puzzled by the Abyss Water Crocodile King's voluntary surrender of the Deep Turbulence Source Crystal.

The Abyss Crocodile King noticed the confusion in Xiao Yixian's eyes, and seemed to think that she might not know enough about the purpose and value of the Deep Turbulence Crystal. So, it began to explain to Xiao Yixian, detailing the origin and function of the Deep Turbulence Crystal.

Although Xiao Ling and the others had already heard about the relevant information about the Shenlan Source Crystal from Yao Chen, they still patiently listened to the Abyss Water Crocodile King's tale again.

After the Abyss Water Crocodile King finished his story, Little Medical Fairy stared at it and asked the question in her heart bluntly: "Why did you give me such a precious thing? Wouldn't it be a big loss for you to do so?"

Facing Xiao Yixian's question, the Abyss Water Crocodile King was silent for a moment, and then its voice echoed in the valley: "Since you have come here, my mission to protect this place is also completed. After you leave, I will continue to stay here until my life comes to an end, so no matter how high your cultivation is, it will be of no use. Giving this gift to you can also be regarded as helping the master's descendants."

The words of the Abyss Crocodile King revealed an attitude of calmness and acceptance of fate. It seemed that it had found its home and was ready to spend the rest of its life in this peaceful valley.

After listening to his narration, Xiao Ling and the other three couldn't help but feel deeply moved. It was hard to imagine how deep the relationship between Venerable Turtle Spirit and Abyss Water Crocodile King must be to allow them to do this.

Little Medical Fairy didn't act pretentiously and directly put the Deep Turbulence Source Crystal into her ring. She turned to the Abyss Water Crocodile King and said, "Thank you, I will cherish this power."

Seeing that Little Medical Fairy had put away the Deep Turbulence Source Crystal, the Abyss Water Crocodile King nodded with satisfaction, then made way for her, stretched out a claw, pointed to the cliff behind the lake, and said, "Go there with the map. There is a space barrier there. After you show the map, the barrier will automatically open, and you will be able to obtain the inheritance left by my master."

When the Abyss Water Crocodile King finished speaking, everyone suddenly realized the real purpose of their journey, which was to explore the inheritance passed down by the Turtle Spirit Venerable for so long. Thinking of this, a look of anticipation flashed in everyone's eyes.

Xiao Ling's heart was filled with irrepressible excitement. Whether he could obtain the legendary Turtle Spirit Earth Fire depended entirely on the upcoming fortune.

He took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, then turned to his companions behind him and said, "Let's go, hurry up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ling took a light step and his figure rose into the air like a phantom. Then he took a few steps lightly in the air, as if walking on an invisible staircase, and finally landed steadily on the other side of the lake.

Seeing this, Xiao Yixian, Qinglin, and Ziyan exchanged glances and nodded in tacit understanding. They then spread their respective fighting wings, flapped them slightly, and flew quickly in the direction of Xiao Ling.

As the four figures disappeared on the other side of the lake, the Abyss Crocodile King did not stay on the shore. It jumped and landed lightly in the lake, stirring up ripples that slowly spread on the water surface, and then quickly dived into the deep bottom of the lake without attracting the attention of others.

When Qing Lin landed lightly on the shore, the two rings on her fingers suddenly flashed two white lights. Then, two illusory figures appeared beside her, they were Yao Tianhuo and Yao Chen.

As soon as they appeared, they began to carefully look at the steep cliffs blocked by the mountain cliffs, with deep and complex light flashing in their eyes, as if they were looking for some hidden secrets.

Xiao Ling and Zi Yan also stared at the cliff, and it was obvious that they had also noticed some unusual signs. Xiao Ling had refined the Meteoric Divine Weapon, and with Zi Yan's guidance on the power of space from time to time, his insight into the power of space was far beyond that of ordinary people. And Zi Yan, as the original body of the Taixu Ancient Dragon, had an innate keen perception of space.

The space in front of them seemed ordinary, but it exuded an indescribable strange feeling. This feeling was surprisingly similar to the space they experienced when they entered the inner courtyard of Canaan College.

Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian did not have such insight. Although their strength had reached the realm of Dou Wang and Dou Huang respectively, their control of spatial power was far inferior to that of Xiao Ling and Zi Yan. This mysterious method set up by Dou Zun strongmen was still too profound for them.

Yao Chen gently stroked his transparent beard and exclaimed: "This space barrier is quite cleverly designed. If I hadn't been close to it, it would have been difficult to find it with my current strength."

Yao Tianhuo on the side also nodded in agreement, and added: "This method is indeed extraordinary. The strength of this Gui Ling Venerable in his lifetime should be comparable to mine."

Chapter 236: Medicine Garden, Collecting Medicinal Materials

At this time, Xiao Ling's voice came from the side, with a hint of expectation and curiosity, asking Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo: "Old Yao, Senior Tianhuo, with your current strength, can you forcibly break through the space barrier here? Let us enter the interior of this barrier."

Before Yao Chen could answer, Yao Tianhuo burst into laughter. "Haha, I am naturally powerless in my current state. But with Brother Yao's current strength, it should be no problem for him to open this space barrier."

Yao Chen did not object to Yao Tianhuo's answer. Indeed, with his current strength, if he tried his best, it would not be difficult to open a gap in this space barrier.

But he added cautiously, "Although we have the ability to open it, we don't know if the owner of the ruins left any tricks. If it can be opened by a specific method, it would be more appropriate to use the method provided by the Abyss Water Crocodile King. Xiao Ling, follow the method he mentioned before and take out the map to try it out."

After all, it would be easy for a powerful person who had reached the Dou Zun level during his lifetime to leave behind some methods. Maybe there are some hidden tricks among them to prevent outsiders from breaking in violently.

After Yao Chen finished speaking, Xiao Ling nodded slightly, "I understand, Yao Lao." The eyes around him instantly focused on him.

Under the gaze of everyone, he calmly took out the ancient map from the ring. The map recorded the specific location leading to the remains of the Turtle Spirit Master.

As soon as the map appeared, it seemed to have life and broke free from Xiao Ling's hand without his control. It slowly rose up, as if being pulled by some mysterious force, floating in the air, attracting the attention of everyone present.

Everyone's eyes followed the map closely, and they saw it begin to emit a soft blue light in the air, which gradually became brighter, as if awakening a dormant power. The lines on the map seemed to come alive at this moment, flowing with ancient runes and releasing a strange energy.

Then, the light spots on the map began to condense and turned into countless tiny energy particles. They drifted in the air, shining like stars, and slowly drifted towards the void in front of Xiao Ling and others. These particles gathered in the void, forming beams of light that seemed to be drawing some complex patterns.

As the light spots gathered, a magnificent pattern gradually emerged in the air. It was shaped like a giant turtle, with its body covered with sharp fire thorns, and its ferocious mouth was full of knife-like fangs.

The giant turtle was wrapped in a strange brown flame. The flame seemed to have life, beating, flickering, and emitting a hot and powerful breath.

Yao Chen and Skyfire Venerable recognized the strange sight almost at the same time, and they exclaimed in unison: "This is the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire!"

After the pattern of the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire was formed, the void in front of everyone's eyes began to tremble slightly, as if some kind of power was awakening in it.

Then, the void seemed to be pushed open by an invisible giant hand, and the space began to distort, like a door slowly opening, revealing the previously hidden area.

As the door to the void slowly opened, several people looked inside through the door and saw that there was also a valley inside, which was similar to the scenery outside but with a bit of mystery.

A gleam of light flashed in Yao Chen's eyes, and he turned to everyone and said, "Let's not just stand here, let's go in." Then, his figure flashed, and like a wisp of light smoke, he was the first to float into the door.

Under everyone's gaze, Yao Chen's figure disappeared as soon as he entered the door, as if he was swallowed by the world behind the door. However, everyone did not show much surprise about this situation. After all, they had seen similar space locks in the inner courtyard of Canaan College and knew that this was part of the use of space.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, signaling to everyone, and then followed Yao Chen's steps and stepped into the door. His figure seemed to be sucked into another world and disappeared from everyone's sight. Seeing this, the others no longer hesitated and walked into the mysterious door one after another.

As the last person disappeared behind the door, the valley returned to peace again. Only the door to the void was still quietly suspended in the air, as if it was waiting for Xiao Ling and the others to leave before closing.

When Xiao Ling and the others passed through the void door, the scene before them made them feel as if they were in a whole new world. Here, the scenery of the valley was surprisingly similar to that of the outside world, but everything here seemed more mysterious and peaceful.

In the valley, several wooden houses stand quietly. They are simple and natural, bearing traces of time. It is obvious that someone once lived here, leaving traces of life.

As soon as she stepped into this mysterious space, Zi Yan seemed to be touched by some kind of power, and her eyes instantly became excited. She pointed in the direction of the wooden houses and said anxiously: "From my perception, there are many rare medicinal herbs over there. And they feel more precious than the ones in your hand, Xiao Ling."

Xiao Ling's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, but it was soon replaced by curiosity. He turned to Zi Yan and asked, "Really? Your perception has always been very accurate. It seems that the Turtle Spirit Master left behind a lot of good things. We can't miss these possible treasures."

Little Medical Fairy looked around, a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes. She continued Xiao Ling's words and guessed, "It seems that this place might be the last place where the Turtle Spirit Venerable lived."

Xiao Ling nodded, his eyes flashing with thought, and said, "Indeed, it should be like this. Let's go and see what the Turtle Spirit Master left behind." Then, he took the lead and walked towards the direction of the houses.

Everyone followed closely behind, their steps extremely cautious yet full of expectation in this unknown land.

As they approached the wooden houses, they could clearly see a few words engraved on each door plaque, namely "Book Collection Pavilion", "Alchemy Room", "Practice Room", etc. These names revealed the purpose of the house, and people couldn't help but imagine the stories that had happened here.

Behind the house is a wide medicinal field. The medicinal field is covered by a special formation. Through the transparent formation, you can see various rare medicinal herbs growing inside.

Although the scent of the medicinal herbs was blocked by the formation and could not be revealed, just a glance from the outside could tell that the herbs were of extraordinary variety.

In the medicinal field in front of her, various rare medicinal herbs were growing. Zi Yan's eyes were almost glued to those herbs, and a trace of crystal saliva flowed out of the corner of her mouth unconsciously.

She excitedly pulled Xiao Ling's hand, shaking it non-stop, and said excitedly: "Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, let's go pick all the herbs in this medicinal field first. As for other treasures, we can explore after we have collected all these herbs."

Hearing Zi Yan's request, Xiao Ling knew the attraction of those medicinal herbs to Zi Yan, and couldn't help but reveal a doting smile. He shook his head gently, with a hint of helplessness but full of tolerance in his tone: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

Little Medical Fairy stood in front of the crystal-clear barrier, frowning slightly. Her eyes penetrated the barrier and stared at the rare medicinal herbs growing quietly. She turned her head and said to everyone with a hint of doubt and curiosity: "How can we get in through this barrier? Should we just break it open?"

Yao Chen slowly approached and carefully observed the formation in front of him. After a moment, his voice was confident and calm: "This formation is not common, and it is only circulated among a few alchemists. It can be broken by having the strength of a Dou Zong. But don't worry, I know the correct way to break it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Chen tapped his fingers lightly in the air a few times. As he moved, several streams of fighting spirit shot out from his fingertips, accurately hitting several key locations on the barrier.

Those seemingly solid barriers, under the impact of the fighting spirit, seemed to have met their nemesis and began to fluctuate. Eventually, like morning mist meeting sunlight, they turned into particles of light and dissipated in the air.

The moment the barrier disappeared, everyone's vision suddenly became clear, and the medicinal herbs in the medicinal field were displayed in front of them without reservation. Originally, there was a layer of barrier blocking them. Although the appearance of these medicinal herbs was extraordinary, it was always like a hazy veil, making it impossible for people to fully appreciate their charm.

Now that the barriers have dissipated, every leaf and flower of the medicinal herbs appear particularly real. The vitality and medicinal fragrance they exude are more intense, making people feel relaxed and happy.

The energy emanating from the medicinal herbs was like a thin layer of mist, hazy and mysterious, making them even more precious. The sun shone through the thin clouds and sprinkled on the medicinal fields. Crystal dewdrops sparkled on the leaves of the medicinal herbs, as if each one contained the essence of heaven and earth.

When Zi Yan saw this scene, her bright eyes sparkled with excitement. She almost couldn't help but want to rush into the medicine field and eat the herbs directly.

She could clearly feel that the quality of these medicinal herbs was very high. Only the few medicinal herbs she had seen at Yao Chen's place could be compared with the ones here.

Xiao Ling was also deeply attracted by the herbs in front of him. He swept his eyes over the herbs one by one, comparing them with the memories in his mind, and he began to mutter unconsciously: "Spirit Flame Flower, Purple Cloud Vine, Ice Soul Fruit, Blood Spirit Fruit, Green Spirit Vine, Snow Bone Ginseng."

When he read this, Xiao Ling's voice suddenly stopped, because the last three medicinal herbs were the main materials needed to refine the Bone Growing and Blood Melting Pill.

With these three main herbs in hand, combined with some herbs obtained from Yao Chen, Xiao Ling was able to refine a bone-growing and blood-melting pill. Next, as long as he could collect a seventh-level magic beast's blood essence, he could help Skyfire Venerable regain his life.

As for the materials needed to revive Yao Chen, Xiao Ling had already made plans. The eighth-grade peak bone-growing and blood-melting pills he already had, as well as the Dou Sheng body and ninth-grade magic beast blood that he would obtain from the ancient clan in the future, were the best materials that Xiao Ling could get to help Yao Chen revive.

Yao Chen's eyes swept through the medicinal fields one by one, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He was once a well-informed eighth-grade peak alchemist, and all kinds of rare medicinal materials were not unfamiliar to him.
