Then, Xiao Ling added: "In fact, after practicing just now, I found that the Blood Flame Burning Soul Art has three levels. The first level is suitable for practitioners above the Dou Wang level, the second level requires Dou Zong to practice, and the third level requires Dou Zun level strong people to perform."
After hearing this, everyone's curiosity was further aroused.
Yao Tianhuo seemed quite interested. He said, "It seems that the depth of this fighting skill has exceeded our expectations. It is not only beneficial to you now, but even after you reach the Dou Zun level, it can also significantly enhance your combat effectiveness."
Then, he added: "From the extent of your strength improvement, even after Brother Yao and I are resurrected, I believe this fighting skill will be of great help to our combat effectiveness. It can be used as a good trump card."
Yao Chen nodded in agreement with Yao Tianhuo's opinion and said, "Indeed, it seems that the amplification effect of this high-level earth-level fighting skill cannot be underestimated. Xiao Ling, you really picked up a treasure this time. This kind of fighting skill that can enhance combat power is very rare in the Douqi Continent. This effect is only stronger than the "Three Mysterious Changes of Sky Fire" in Fenyan Valley. It's just that the consumption may be greater, but these problems are not a big problem for you."
Little Medical Fairy was more concerned about Xiao Ling's physical condition. She looked at Xiao Ling with concern and asked worriedly, "Xiao Ling, how do you feel? Did your fighting skills consume a lot of energy?"
This reminded everyone present that although this technique was powerful, it was bound to be accompanied by certain side effects, which was also a key point they needed to consider.
Facing the concerned look of Little Medical Immortal, Xiao Ling just smiled lightly and replied calmly: "This fighting skill consumes a lot of energy. However, thanks to my recovery ability, it has little impact on me. At my current state of using the second level of Dou Zong realm, it can last for about half an hour. Using a sixth-grade life-returning pill should be able to replenish the energy consumption and will not cause any sequelae."
"I think the consumption of using the first level should be relatively small, and the fifth-grade healing pills should be able to replenish the consumption of using this secret method," Xiao Ling pondered for a moment and continued, "and if the third level is used, the consumption will definitely be much greater. Maybe I will have to use those seventh-grade or even eighth-grade pills to recover the consumption."
After listening to Xiao Ling's explanation, Xiao Yixian Qinglin and Zi Yan both felt relieved. Although such consumption might be quite high for ordinary people, it was not a problem for Xiao Ling, who was an alchemist with abundant resources.
Afterwards, Xiao Ling quickly formed a few hand seals and finished performing the "Blood Flame Burning Soul Technique". As the fighting skills came to an end, the violent aura on Xiao Ling's body gradually subsided, and finally slowly fell back until it returned to the original Dou Zong three-star level.
Everyone witnessed Xiao Ling's entire training process, from the surge in strength to the final calming down, and some were looking forward to what the effect would be when they performed the same skill themselves.
Xiao Ling looked around and asked everyone, "Have you collected all the skills you need? Have you finished selecting them?"
Little Medical Fairy responded on behalf of everyone else: "We have already collected all those skills. Moreover, we also found a good low-level earth-level body movement fighting skill book before, which is also a good harvest."
Hearing this, Xiao Ling smiled slightly and said, "Yes, it is good to be able to strengthen your body skills. This is also a good improvement for you." Then, he changed his tone and said loudly, "Since everything here has been taken away, let's go to the next place to explore."
As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, the eyes of Xiao Yixian, Qinglin and Ziyan lit up, flashing with irrepressible excitement. They knew that the Guiling Venerable was an eighth-grade alchemist when he was alive. The collection in the alchemy room of an eighth-grade alchemist must be extraordinary, and they might even have witnessed those legendary eighth-grade elixirs with their own eyes.
Yao Tianhuo and Yao Chen seemed relatively calm. After all, they had seen many storms before and had developed a calm mindset. But even so, they were still curious about the precious legacy left by the Gui Ling Master in the alchemy room, and they secretly looked forward to finding out.
Zi Yan rushed to Xiao Ling, hugged his arm affectionately, and said excitedly: "Hey, let's go." She then added, "I can't wait to see those pills." Although she said she wanted to see, the glistening saliva at the corner of Zi Yan's mouth revealed her true thoughts.
Seeing Zi Yan's eagerness, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads and chuckle. Zi Yan always maintained an unconcealable love and persistence for elixirs and medicinal materials. This situation has been going on for a long time, and they have long been accustomed to it.
Chapter 238: Alchemy Room, Spiritual Cauldron
Xiao Ling rubbed Zi Yan's head and smiled to comfort her: "Don't worry, if the harvest is good, your share will not be missing."
After hearing this, Zi Yan's eyes lit up even brighter. She was full of anticipation for the upcoming exploration, as if she could already see those precious elixirs waving at her.
Afterwards, everyone left the library. Xiao Ling gently pushed the door and slowly closed it. The slight click indicated that the door had closed again.
"I don't know if other people will come to this library in the future." Xiao Ling said softly, with a hint of mysterious meaning in his tone.
Zi Yan held Xiao Ling's arm, her face full of excitement for the next exploration: "Don't think too much, let's go to the alchemy room, there must be a lot of treasures waiting for us there!"
Yao Tianhuo and Yao Chen smiled at each other. They found Zi Yan's anxiety amusing, but they also understood her feelings.
With Xiao Ling leading the way, the group walked along the ancient corridor towards the alchemy room. As they chatted, their footsteps echoed on the quiet bluestone path.
On both sides of the path, there are lush green trees, which have experienced countless years of growth and are full of vitality. The sunlight shines through the treetops, projecting mottled shadows on the path, adding a bit of tranquility and mystery to this quaint path.
Zi Yan followed Xiao Ling, hopping around, looking at the surrounding scenery from time to time, her eyes flickering with curiosity about the unknown. Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin were also immersed in this tranquility, feeling the unique charm of this ancient space.
Soon, they arrived at the door of the alchemy room. Compared with the calmness of the library, the appearance of the alchemy room was more imposing. The building was constructed of solid stone, with fine patterns and designs engraved on the surface, revealing a kind of refinement and grandeur. Everyone could clearly feel that this was a place that was carefully built by the Turtle Spirit Venerable.
Yao Chen looked at the alchemy room and commented softly, "Compared to the library, this alchemy room is more magnificent. Just from the appearance, you can tell that its interior is extraordinary."
Xiao Ling also nodded in agreement. He carefully observed the structure of the alchemy room. It was obvious from its appearance that the building was divided into two floors.
He turned around and said to everyone, "It is obvious that Venerable Gui Ling values this alchemy room very much. There must be a lot of precious treasures hidden in here. Let's go in and find out." His words revealed his anticipation and excitement for the treasures that were about to be discovered.
Everyone nodded, and they were full of anticipation for what good things were hidden in the alchemy room that was about to appear before them.
Xiao Ling took the lead and walked forward. He took a deep breath, then pushed hard and slowly opened the door of the alchemy room that had been sealed for many years. As the door opened, the light from outside shone in, illuminating the space inside.
At the same time, a strong aroma of medicine and elixir wafted out. This aroma was deep and complex, containing the essence of countless medicinal materials.
This fragrance lifted Xiao Ling's spirits, as if his body and mind had been sublimated. He felt that every cell in his body was activated by this fragrance, and he was full of desire for the exploration that was about to begin.
Then, Xiao Ling stepped in. Soon, his figure disappeared at the door and he completely stepped into the alchemy room.
Seeing that Xiao Ling had entered, Zi Yan took the lead to follow Xiao Ling's pace. The others looked at each other and followed closely.
As Xiao Ling stepped into the alchemy room, he waved his hand and a burst of energy came out, hitting the closed window accurately. The window opened, and the long-lost sunlight and fresh air poured into the room, illuminating the dark corners of the room.
Everyone followed Xiao Ling's steps and stepped into this mysterious space. As the light became brighter, their vision gradually became clearer, and what came into view was a well-organized alchemy room.
There are various kinds of alchemy instruments placed in the room, each of which exudes refinement and professionalism, showing the rigorous attitude and profound skills of the former owner in alchemy.
On one side of the hall, four medicine cauldrons were arranged in a straight line. Xiao Ling glanced over them and could tell the quality of them at a glance. From left to right, each medicine cauldron looked more refined and advanced than the previous one.
The medicine cauldron on the far left has two furnace mouths. Although its appearance is simple and unadorned, every line and angle reveals solid craftsmanship. There are obvious signs of use on it, but it is surprisingly well preserved without any bumps.
Next to them are four medicine cauldrons, which have a more complex structure. All four can be used for refining at the same time, making them suitable for preparing a variety of medicinal materials. The ingenious design shows that they are obviously designed for refining complex medicines.
The third six-mouthed medicine cauldron was even more ingeniously designed and could be called the best among the six medicine cauldrons. After Xiao Ling's observation, the quality of this medicine cauldron was even better than the "Six-in-one Spiritual Flame Cauldron" that he had given to Xiao Yan not long ago.
However, when Xiao Ling's gaze finally fell on the fourth medicine cauldron, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
The overall color of the tripod is deep bronze, as if it has been baptized by countless years, exuding a simple and heavy atmosphere. The lines of the tripod are smooth and elegant, and every arc is just right, showing a natural beauty.
The surface of the tripod is covered with mysterious lines that appear and disappear. These lines are like miniature medicinal patterns, some are like stretched leaves, some are like coiled roots, and some are like blooming flowers. They are lifelike and seem to grow out of the tripod at any time. When light falls on the tripod, these lines will flicker slightly, as if they contain mysterious power.
The medicine cauldron seemed to be surrounded by a faint halo, which was looming and gave people an ethereal and mysterious feeling. If you sniffed carefully, you could also smell a faint medicinal fragrance.
At different viewing angles, the color of the halo would also change subtly, sometimes showing a light green, as if containing the breath of life; sometimes turning into a warm orange, like a dancing flame. This novel scene was somewhat similar to the color-changing cards that Xiao Ling had seen in his previous life, which were made using the grating optical effect.
If you look closely at the bottom of the cauldron, you will find that there are fine carvings there. These carvings are complex and exquisite, and seem to be telling the ancient story of refining medicine. The whole medicine cauldron gives people a feeling of solemnity and mystery, as if it is a perfect combination of nature and human wisdom, exuding an irresistible charm.
Xiao Ling looked at the medicine cauldron in front of him. Although he could not identify its specific level at a glance, he was sure that this was definitely a rare, top-grade medicine cauldron. Every pattern and every detail on it revealed craftsmanship and beauty that went beyond the ordinary.
When Xiao Ling was carefully looking at the medicine cauldron in front of him, the three little medical fairies behind him also finished observing the surrounding environment and walked to his side one after another.
The three people's attention was also attracted by this medicine cauldron. Obviously, the extraordinary features of this medicine cauldron had aroused their interest and curiosity.
Xiao Yixian has always been interested in things related to alchemy. Seeing Xiao Ling concentrating on observing the strange medicine cauldron on the far right, Xiao Yixian couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Ling, do you recognize this medicine cauldron? I don't think I've ever seen one like this before."
Hearing Little Medical Immortal's question, Xiao Ling shook his head slightly and replied, "This is my first time seeing it too. But one thing is for sure, this medicine cauldron is definitely not ordinary."
The conversation between the two attracted the attention of Yao Tianhuo and Yao Chen. They also floated behind Xiao Ling and looked at the medicine cauldron on the far right with curiosity.
Yao Tianhuo was not an alchemist, so he did not have a deep understanding of medicine cauldrons. Although he could not identify the origin of this medicine cauldron, he could see that it was different from others and was obviously not an ordinary object.
When Yao Chen looked at the medicine cauldron in front of him, it seemed to trigger some forgotten memories in his heart. After some thought, he suddenly had an idea and couldn't help but exclaimed: "I didn't expect it to be this medicine cauldron!"
Yao Chen's exclamation was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples and instantly attracting the attention of everyone present. Everyone's eyes turned to him, with curiosity and expectation flashing in their eyes.
Yao Chen was an alchemist who had reached the peak of the eighth level during his lifetime. He actually reacted like this after seeing this medicine cauldron. From this, it can be seen that the origin of this medicine cauldron must be not simple.
Xiao Ling was no exception. His eyes revealed a strong interest and a hint of urgency. He asked Yao Chen: "Old Yao, what is the origin of this medicine cauldron? Judging from your reaction just now, this medicine cauldron must be extraordinary, right?"
Yao Chen nodded slightly, his eyes fell on the medicine cauldron, with a look of amazement in his eyes. "Xiao Ling, you are really blessed. This cauldron is called Lingcui Ding, and it ranks fourth on the Tianding Ranking. According to ancient records, the production of Lingcui Ding is extremely complex and difficult. First, the most precious materials in the world must be collected. These materials are often hidden in mysterious ancient ruins or extremely dangerous and desperate places. The craftsmen carefully selected and polished the materials. After initially shaping the cauldron, they placed it in an environment full of rare medicinal materials for warming. Countless precious spiritual herbs, exotic flowers and fruits exude rich medicinal power, slowly penetrating the body of the cauldron. After a long time, the Lingcui Ding can absorb the essence of the medicinal materials, and the patterns on the body of the cauldron are as clear as the veins of the medicinal materials."
As he spoke, Yao Chen extended his finger and gently pointed at the exquisite patterns on the Lingcui Ding. Everyone looked in the direction of Yao Chen's finger, and just like Xiao Ling before, they carefully looked at the various patterns of medicinal materials on the cauldron.
After a slight pause, Yao Chen stroked his beard and continued, "This Lingcui Ding has extraordinary effects. It has a unique control over the fire element. It can skillfully attract and integrate the surrounding fire elements and use the power of fire just right. When refining medicine, no matter how difficult the flame is to tame, it will become docile and precise under the effect of Lingcui Ding. It can adjust the temperature and intensity of the flame according to the characteristics of different medicinal materials, allowing various rare medicinal materials to be refined in the most suitable environment."
"It is no exaggeration to say that if this medicine cauldron is used to refine pills, the quality of the resulting pills will definitely be significantly improved to a certain extent, and their efficacy will definitely be more powerful."
When Yao Chen explained the origin of the Spiritual Tripod, everyone was shocked. Although they had expected that this medicine cauldron was extraordinary, they never expected that it was the peerless treasure cauldron ranked fourth on the Heavenly Tripod List.
Xiao Yixian, Qinglin, and Ziyan all had bright smiles on their faces, and their eyes were all cast towards Xiao Ling, with excitement and joy in their eyes. They knew very well that if Xiao Ling had this Lingcui Ding, which ranked fourth on the Tianding Ranking, it would be able to provide greater help for Xiao Ling's future medicine refining.
As Xiao Ling's closest people, they were sincerely happy that Xiao Ling could get such a precious opportunity.
Zi Yan was so excited that she almost jumped up. She couldn't hold back her excitement and said happily, "Xiao Ling, this Lingcui Ding is tailor-made for you! With it, your alchemy skills will definitely be taken to a higher level!"
Xiao Ling looked at the smiles on his friends' faces, feeling a warm feeling in his heart, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised in a happy arc.
After learning the true origin of this medicine cauldron, Xiao Ling was filled with joy beyond words. He had never thought before coming here that he would be able to encounter such a treasure ranked so high on the Tianding Ranking. This unexpected discovery far exceeded his previous expectations.
Although he already had a Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron from his old friend Han Feng, which was also a medicine cauldron on the Tianding List, that cauldron was ranked only last on the Tianding List. Compared with the Lingcui Cauldron in front of him, it was undoubtedly the difference between the bright moon and the firefly.
Then Xiao Ling waved his hand and put the four medicine cauldrons, including the Lingcui Cauldron, into his storage ring. At this moment, Xiao Ling's face showed a smile that was difficult to conceal.
Seeing that Xiao Ling had already put away the Lingcui Ding, Qing Lin, who was standing by, walked forward with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes and said to Xiao Ling: "Master, I found an ancient book on the table over there before. I didn't read the contents carefully. I don't know what secrets it records. Maybe we should go check it out?"
Hearing Qing Lin's words, Xiao Ling's curiosity was aroused. In the alchemy room of such an alchemist, the books left behind must have a very interesting origin. He nodded immediately, with a hint of expectation in his tone: "Of course, we have to check it out. Maybe the book contains something that will be of great benefit to us."
Under Qinglin's guidance, Xiao Ling and the others walked slowly towards the antique table. On the table, there were traces of time, and each mark seemed to tell a story of the past.
On the old table, there is an exquisite inkwell and a brush next to it. Despite the passage of time, the tip of the brush still maintains its flexibility and elasticity, revealing its extraordinary quality. However, the ink in the inkwell has long dried up, leaving only deep ink marks, witnessing the passage of time.
Xiao Ling's eyes swept across the table and were soon attracted by an old book on the corner. The book looked ordinary, without a gorgeous cover or any complicated decorations. The edges of the pages were stained with yellow from the years, and fine wrinkles were all over them, silently telling that the book had been read countless times by its owner.
Seeing the appearance of this book, Xiao Ling also felt a little curious, so he reached out and picked up the book, gently opened it, wanting to find out what was recorded in it.
When Xiao Ling opened the thick book, the words on the first page came into view:
"Youngster, this contains my life-long experience and insights in refining medicine, as well as magical prescriptions collected from various places. I have been obsessed with refining medicine all my life, and every insight and every exploration here is the result of my hard work. You must know that this is the result of my hard work. I hope you can cherish it and make full use of it, and you must not let my inheritance disappear. You must accept my gift and continue my ambition. This is my most earnest hope. Youngster, you must work hard and don't let me down."
Xiao Ling's eyes stayed on these words for a long time, and an inexplicable light flashed across his eyes. He could feel the earnest expectations and persistent pursuit of the Turtle Spirit Reverend behind the words. This inheritance is not only the transmission of knowledge, but also a heavy responsibility.
He gently stroked the pages of the book, as if he was having a silent conversation with the senior. Xiao Ling took a deep breath and silently vowed in his heart: "Since I am fortunate enough to inherit your legacy, I will definitely absorb the precious knowledge you left behind and climb to the peak of alchemy."
Everyone gathered around, their eyes focused on the yellowed pages. The Little Medical Fairy said softly, with a hint of emotion: "This senior's last wish is very respectful. Xiao Ling, you must not disappoint him."
Xiao Ling smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with determination, his voice calm and powerful: "Don't worry, I will engrave every bit of knowledge and every drop of wisdom left by this senior in my heart and live up to his expectations."
As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, he did not stop his movements and continued to turn the pages. As he turned the pages, the densely packed text appeared before his eyes like a treasure. Each page carried a wealth of knowledge on alchemy, experience, and precious prescriptions.
Although now was not the best time to study in depth, Xiao Ling quickly browsed the first few pages of basic knowledge about alchemy. Then, he turned his attention to the precious prescriptions recorded in the book.
Obviously, as an eighth-grade alchemist, Reverend Gui Ling had indeed accumulated a large number of precious pill recipes. The several eighth-grade pill recipes recorded in the book were particularly eye-catching. These pill recipes had never been seen in Yao Chen's collection, which added new valuable resources to Xiao Ling's existing pill recipe library.
Xiao Ling took a deep breath, letting the excitement in his heart gradually subside. He gently closed his hands and slowly closed the ancient book that contained profound knowledge. With a flash of white light in his hands, he put it into the storage ring.
He glanced at his companions, his eyes flashing with a glimmer of exploration: "The exploration of the first floor has come to an end. We have gained a lot of valuable knowledge and resources." He paused, with a hint of excitement in his tone that was difficult to conceal, "Now, it's time to go to the second floor to take a look. I guess the second floor should be where the elixirs are stored."
Chapter 239: Searching for Elixirs, Ancient Bronze Palace
When they heard Xiao Ling's proposal, everyone's faces showed anticipation.
Then, under the leadership of Xiao Ling, everyone slowly walked up the ancient staircase. The staircase made a slight "creaking" sound, as if telling the story of the years. With every step, everyone's curiosity and expectation increased.
When they arrived at the second floor, Xiao Ling pushed open the heavy door, and a strong aroma of medicinal herbs filled everyone's senses instantly. This aroma was mellow and deep, as if it contained the accumulation of years.
Looking inside, what came into view was a spacious and bright room, with ancient murals hanging on the walls, depicting various scenes of refining medicine, vividly. There were rows of neat shelves in the room, and each layer was carefully designed to accommodate containers of different sizes and shapes.
The shelves are filled with all kinds of bottles and jars. Their colors are colorful, ranging from crystal clear to deep blue, from fiery red to calm dark green. Each one exudes a faint glow. It is obvious that the materials used to make the elixir bottles are not simple.
