People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

Some of these containers are filled with powders that sparkle like stars, some are filled with liquids that flow like mercury, and some are sealed, making it impossible to peek into the secrets inside. Each bottle is exquisite to the extreme, and it is obvious that it has been carefully selected and made.

Xiao Ling and his companions were deeply attracted by the scene before them. They involuntarily approached the shelves, their eyes lingering on these exquisite containers. Each bottle was like a work of art, not only carrying the power of the elixir, but also showing the ingenuity of the alchemist.

Zi Yan couldn't hold back her excitement. She walked forward lightly and carefully picked up a jade box, her eyes flashing with curiosity and surprise. She gently opened the lid of the box, and a faint light overflowed from the box, accompanied by a fresh medicinal fragrance.

"Wow! A sixth-grade elixir!" Zi Yan's voice was filled with surprise and excitement. She carefully put down the jade box in her hand, and couldn't wait to pick up another one.

"Sixth grade! There are also sixth grade pills here!"

When she picked up a more exquisite jade bottle, a cunning light flashed in her eyes: "This is the seventh grade, hehe, it can't be hidden even if I want to!" Her laughter was full of pride and joy.

Zi Yan's liveliness was like a spring breeze, blowing away the quaint and quiet atmosphere in the room and making the whole space lively. Her laughter was crisp and pleasant, like the sound of a mountain spring, infecting everyone present.

When Xiao Ling and his companions saw Zi Yan's excitement, they couldn't help but smile, and the atmosphere became more lively.

Zi Yan carefully put the seventh-grade elixir in her hand back into the exquisite jade box, then waved her hand lightly, and the jade box was put into her storage ring.

After putting away the elixir, Zi Yan turned around, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, and looked at Xiao Ling and several other companions. There was a hint of playfulness and teasing in her voice: "Come and look for it too, there are many treasures here, maybe we can find a real eighth-grade elixir!"

Hearing Zi Yan's expectant words, Xiao Ling and his other companions no longer hesitated, and quickly dispersed, each engaging in the action of collecting pills.

After a careful search, Xiao Ling and his companions found a lot of good things.

A total of four eighth-grade pills were found, two of which were of eighth-grade four-color quality, and the other two were of eighth-grade three-color quality, and one of eighth-grade two-color quality. More than thirty seventh-grade pills were also found, and as for sixth-grade pills, there were more than a hundred of them.

Although the names and effects of the pills were not recorded on the pill bottles, Xiao Ling still used the firm function of the system warehouse to find out the effects of the four eighth-grade pills.

The name of the eighth-grade three-color pill is "Ling Yu Tian Dan", and the name of the eighth-grade two-color pill is "Ze Sheng Dan". These two pills are used for healing, but they are not of much help to Xiao Ling. He can trade them with others in the future, or use them as trump cards for his companions.

The other two 8th-grade, four-color pills, one of which is called "Eternal Life Pill", is a pill that can extend life span. It can not only rejuvenate the dying and live hundreds of years longer, but also nourish the body to a certain extent, making it healthier and delaying the decline of body functions, so that the user can be in a better state to comprehend the world and experience life during the extended life span. Such a pill that can extend life span can be considered relatively precious among the 8th-grade pills.

Another eight-grade, four-color pill, named "Huadu Lingji Pill", has the main function of detoxification. It can accurately identify various toxins that invade the body, activate a powerful purification force, and gradually eliminate the poison in a short period of time. Its medicinal power is gentle and powerful. While dissolving the toxins, it also nourishes the injured organs and veins, allowing the poisoned person to quickly get rid of the threat of the poison. As long as the power of the toxin does not exceed that of the Dou Sheng, it can be eliminated by the medicinal power.

With a slight thought, Xiao Ling gently closed the system panel flashing with information about the elixir in front of him. He shook his head slightly, with a helpless look on his face, "It's a pity that there is no elixir here that can directly improve cultivation. If that Turtle Spirit Venerable could get an elixir of the eighth grade, seven colors or higher level and put it here, after a long period of precipitation, maybe when I come here today, I can be lucky enough to encounter a legendary elixir beast."

Xiao Ling shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Being able to get these things was indeed worth the trip.

And judging from the inventory of elixirs here, the Turtle Spirit Venerable probably stored all his elixir savings here before he died, and now they have all belonged to Xiao Ling.

He turned his gaze towards Zi Yan, and saw her gently uncorking a delicate pill bottle, and carefully pouring out a soft, radiant, sixth-grade imperial pill from the bottle. Zi Yan threw the pill into her mouth without hesitation, as if she was enjoying an ordinary candy.

As soon as the pill entered her mouth, the medicinal power quickly spread throughout Zi Yan's body. She showed an extremely satisfied expression on her face, her eyes narrowed into slits in pleasure, and she muttered unconsciously, "Woo woo, this is such a good time~"

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but twitch their lips slightly, and secretly sighed in their hearts: Being able to enjoy precious sixth-grade elixirs as casually as snacks like Zi Yan, I'm afraid only she can do it.

Xiao Ling walked forward, rubbed Zi Yan's hair affectionately, and reminded her with a smile, "I gave you so many sixth-grade pills, don't be greedy, or you will fall asleep halfway through the journey if you eat too much."

Hearing this, Zi Yan showed a playful smile and responded easily, "Don't worry, I know my limits."

After confirming that all the precious elixirs in the alchemy room had been searched, Xiao Ling felt that there was no need to stay here any longer. He immediately led everyone out of the alchemy room filled with the aroma of medicine and prepared to explore other areas.

……

After searching several other places, Xiao Ling did not find any special treasures. Everything was as he expected, and there were no surprises.

After walking out of the last wooden house, he did not gain anything this time. The Little Medical Fairy came forward and said to Xiao Ling with a hint of doubt: "Xiao Ling, is it true that the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire that the Turtle Spirit Venerable controlled during his lifetime was not left here?"

Zi Yan and Qing Lin also cast their concerned eyes. After all, Xiao Ling's biggest goal on this trip was to obtain the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire that the Turtle Spirit Venerable had subdued during his lifetime.

Now, they have turned the place upside down, but have not found any trace of the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire. This makes the three of them wonder, could it be that Xiao Ling will not be able to subdue his fifth strange fire as he wished this time?

Unlike the sadness on the faces of Xiao Yixian and her other two companions, Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo followed at the end of the team. Their expressions seemed unusually calm, and even in their eyes, one could catch a glimpse of imperceptible subtle changes, as if they had made new discoveries or insights into certain things.

Facing the slightly worried gazes of the three women, Xiao Ling smiled lightly and raised his question in a relaxed manner: "Don't you think it's a bit strange? We have been searching here for so long, but we still haven't found the remains of Turtle Spirit Venerable."

Zi Yan didn't think deeply about it and blurted out: "Could it be that the real remains of the Gui Ling Master are not here? Otherwise, how come we can't even find his remains?"

Little Medical Fairy seemed more cautious. She pondered for a moment and said thoughtfully, "Perhaps there are secrets in this place that we haven't explored yet, and the remains of the Turtle Spirit Venerable and the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire may be hidden there."

Xiao Ling nodded to Xiao Yixian and confirmed her thoughts with a smile: "You guessed right, there is indeed something strange here. According to my observation, there seems to be an area cleverly hidden by the magic array. I only discovered this secret not long ago."

Then, he turned to Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo, with a hint of amusement in his eyes: "However, I guess Senior Yao and Senior Tianhuo may have noticed this a long time ago."

Yao Chen smiled lightly, his attitude was calm, and there was a hint of pride in his tone: "Indeed, I vaguely felt that this place was unusual when I first started exploring. This illusion array is very cleverly arranged, and it is difficult for people who are not careful to find it. I only noticed it because Brother Tianhuo reminded me before."

Yao Tianhuo also nodded in agreement, his voice full of praise for Xiao Ling: "Xiao Ling, your insight is really admirable. You were able to see through the existence of the illusion array so quickly. We were discussing it before. If you fail to discover this secret, we will take the initiative to tell you later."

Xiao Ling smiled and responded modestly: "Haha, you two seniors are too kind. I just happened to notice some details."

This formation is similar to the refracting formation created by Yao Tianhuo before, but it is obviously more advanced, a double-layer formation. It can not only change the line of sight, but also conceal the breath. It is also because of the previous research on this kind of formation that Xiao Ling was able to see through its secrets so quickly.

Then he looked at the three bewildered women and continued to explain, "While exploring these houses, I carefully observed all directions and found that there was an area that looked unusual. It was obviously tampered with. According to my observation, the illusion array mainly uses a special method to distort light, thereby creating a visual illusion. Moreover, it has a second layer of array, which uses some special means to hide the aura in the area. Even if we use our perception to explore, we can only feel a blank."

After listening to Xiao Ling's explanation, the three people's eyes suddenly brightened. The fog in their hearts seemed to be blown away by a breeze, and they finally understood the mystery.

After understanding the principle, the three of them looked at the area again and began to notice subtle changes in the light. At first, it seemed ordinary, but when they looked carefully, they could find the abnormal refraction of light. The unnatural bending of light revealed the existence of the illusion array.

Then, Xiao Ling turned his wrist slightly, and a stream of Dou Qi condensed from his fingertips shot out, pointing directly at the seemingly ordinary area. The Dou Qi stream was like a precise arrow, cutting through the air, and with a sound of breaking through the air, it hit the target.

Instantly, there was a slight sound, as if some invisible barrier was broken. A light blue light curtain appeared in the air, and then, like broken glass, it turned into countless tiny blue light spots, slowly dissipating in the surroundings.

As the light curtain disappeared, an ancient bronze palace slowly appeared on the originally empty ground and came into view of everyone.

The exterior design of this bronze hall is simple and magnificent, and its overall shape is simple yet solemn, exuding a calm and dignified atmosphere. The outline of the hall is smooth, without complicated decorations, but with its huge volume and solid texture, it shows a solemnity and power that transcends time.

The years have left mottled marks on its bronze surface, but these marks have not diminished its majesty, but instead given it a sense of historical weight.

Under the sunlight, the luster of bronze is not dazzling, but rather presents a warm and subtle brilliance, as if silently telling of past glory.

Compared with the delicate and gentle ancient buildings around it, the style of this bronze hall is more rugged. It is like a silent guardian, independent of the world, carrying unknown secrets. Although its existence seems lonely, it is particularly eye-catching because of its uniqueness.

When everyone stepped onto the broad stone steps in front of the bronze hall, their eyes were involuntarily attracted by the three large characters on the lintel engraved with the traces of time, "Zunhaitang".

These three characters are written in an ancient font with strong strokes, revealing an inviolable solemnity and sacredness. Obviously, the person who wrote these three characters must have a very profound cultivation.

Standing in front of the door of the hall, everyone felt an inexplicable sense of solemnity. Seeing the three big characters "Zun Hai Tang", everyone knew the purpose of this bronze hall. Just as Xiao Ling had analyzed before, this was the resting place of the Turtle Spirit Venerable, a hall where the Venerable's remains were stored.

Zi Yan raised her question with a hint of doubt: "Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, why did this Turtle Spirit Master set up such an illusion array outside this bronze hall? Doesn't he want his body to be discovered by others?"

Xiao Ling gently patted Zi Yan's shoulder, with a gentle smile in his eyes, and replied: "The illusion array outside tests the observer's carefulness. If the Gui Ling Master really didn't want his body to be discovered, he could have chosen a more secret place to place it. But he left the body here. I think this may be some kind of test he left for those who come after him."

After hearing Xiao Ling's explanation, everyone pondered for a moment, and then nodded in agreement. Xiao Yixian said softly: "Xiao Ling is right, this illusion array is indeed like a test, not just for hiding."

Qing Lin blinked and revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "I see, it seems that our discovery of this place means we have passed the test of that venerable senior."

Zi Yan also put away her doubts and showed an excited smile: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go in and explore, there must be something unexpected waiting for us inside."

Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Okay, let's go in. However, everyone should remain vigilant. After all, this is the resting place of the Turtle Spirit Master, and no one knows if he has left any tricks behind."

After saying this, Xiao Ling gently pushed open the bronze door of the Zunhai Hall. The door slowly opened, making a heavy and ancient creaking sound, as if history was whispering, welcoming their arrival.

An ancient atmosphere gushed out from the door, with a hint of coolness and mystery. Everyone filed in and stepped into this ancient and solemn hall. Their footsteps echoed in the empty hall, adding a bit of solemnity and expectation.

Following Xiao Ling's lead, the group entered the bronze hall. The door slowly closed behind them, blocking out the light from the outside. The interior of the hall seemed slightly dim, with only a few faint rays of light shining through the gaps above, adding a mysterious atmosphere to the hall.

Everyone's sight penetrated the darkness and gradually adapted to the environment inside the hall. The interior of the hall was extremely spacious, with a dome so high that it seemed to touch the clouds. The four walls tilted inwards, supporting this magnificent space. On the walls, faint light and shadows intertwined, reflecting the outline of the interior of the hall.

In the center of the hall, there is a huge bronze statue, which depicts a burly old man with a solemn face and deep eyes, which seems to contain endless wisdom. The old man has a solemn posture, holding a ball of light in one hand, and there seems to be a flame dancing inside the ball of light. Even though it is just a sculpture, you can feel the hot breath it exudes.

As Xiao Ling expected, the statue should be carefully carved based on the image of Venerable Gui Ling. It is lifelike and fully demonstrates the Venerable's majesty and wisdom.

The ball of light in the statue's hand dances like a flame. It is obviously based on the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire controlled by the Turtle Spirit Venerable, and is a clever replica. Although it does not have the power of the real strange fire, it vividly captures its essence.

Chapter 240 Dou Zun Remains, Turtle Spirit Earth Fire

Around the statue, there are stone platforms on which various ancient artifacts are displayed. Each of them is covered with a layer of light dust, and it is obvious that they have experienced a long time. Although these artifacts are simple, their exquisite craftsmanship and ancient charm are still hard to conceal in the dim light.

As their sight slowly moved, Xiao Ling and the others discovered a stone staircase behind the statue, which spiraled upward and disappeared into the darkness at the top of the hall. The stone steps were old and solid, and each step seemed to record the accumulation of years and the whispers of history.

Xiao Ling and his group walked closer with light steps. The stone steps made a slight echo under their feet, leading them to explore higher.

Looking at the end of the stairs, there is a high platform. On the platform, there is a jade bed carved from jadeite. The whole body of the jade bed exudes a faint chill, as if it contains the power of being frozen for thousands of years.

As Xiao Ling got closer to the platform, the four strange fires in his body suddenly produced slight fluctuations.

It feels like there is repulsion between the different fires, but at the same time there is an indescribable mutual attraction.

This unique resonance only occurs when there are multiple strange fires in the same space. Xiao Ling's heart moved, and it was very likely that there was another strange fire hidden nearby, and this strange fire was most likely the one they were looking for, the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire that the Turtle Spirit Venerable had subdued during his lifetime.

Thinking of this, a light flashed in Xiao Ling's eyes, as if he had already glimpsed the secret hidden in this ancient hall.

"It's actually the Ice Soul Cold Prison Jade, and it's such a big piece..." Behind them, Yao Lao's surprised voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence in the hall.

"Teacher, what is the Ice Soul Cold Prison Jade?" Qing Lin asked curiously.

"That is an extremely cold jade, one of the few rare things in the world that can withstand the burning of strange fire." Yao Lao's voice was a little excited. He looked in the direction of Xiao Ling and continued, "If this kind of jade is made into a jade box or a jade jar, it can even store strange fire. And the bone spirit cold fire in my body also reacted just now. Xiao Ling, you should have noticed it too. I think the turtle spirit earth fire is not far ahead."

"Hiss..." Xiao Ling took a breath of cool air and became excited. He walked forward quickly and looked closely at the jade bed that was emitting cold air.

Everyone followed Xiao Ling's footsteps. The closer they got, the more they felt a bone-chilling chill, as if even the air was frozen by the cold.

Although Xiao Ling possesses a strange fire in his body and has a natural resistance to the cold, Xiao Yixian and the other companions are also people with high cultivation and can withstand the cold air emitted by Bingpo Hanyu Yuyi.

But Xiao Ling took everyone's comfort into consideration, and with a thought, he released the Sea Heart Flame in his body with his hands.

The appearance of the Sea Heart Flame was like a warm light in the deep sea, and the ripples like water waves slowly spread out, gradually dispelling the surrounding coldness. This warm current not only neutralized the coldness of the Ice Soul Cold Prison Jade, but also brought a touch of warmth to everyone present, making them feel more comfortable in this cold hall.

As the cold air dissipated, everyone focused more on the jade bed and the body of Master Gui Ling in front of them.

On the platform, the jade bed was crystal clear, emitting a faint blue light, and every line on it was clearly visible, like a masterpiece of nature. The cold air of the jade bed came into contact with the warm air around it, forming layers of thin frost and mist, making the entire platform look like a fairyland.

On the jade bed, a skeleton in a gray robe lay quietly. The skeleton was in a peaceful posture, with its hands folded on its chest, as if it was sleeping peacefully.

The gray robe has weathered, but it still covers the skeleton, maintaining its final dignity. In the dim light, the skeleton is particularly eye-catching, with no burial objects around it, only a sense of tranquility and peace that transcends the world.

Qing Lin stared at the skeleton on the jade bed, with a hint of awe in his tone, and said softly: "This must be the remains of the Turtle Spirit Master."

Her voice echoed throughout the hall, and everyone's eyes were focused on the grey-robed skeleton.

In the dim light, there seemed to be a faint halo surrounding the skeleton. It was a trace left by the passage of time and also the lingering sound of the Venerable's powerful cultivation during his lifetime.

Xiao Ling nodded, his expression solemn and serious: "It should be. The aura emanating from this skeleton is different from that of ordinary people. It must be the Reverend Turtle Spirit."

"Xiao Ling, go ahead and check it out. The Turtle Spirit Earth Fire should be inside that body." Yao Chen said, stroking his beard, with a hint of anticipation in his voice.

Xiao Ling nodded, took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then walked forward slowly. His steps were steady and cautious, and every step was extremely careful, for fear of any unexpected situation.

As Xiao Ling got closer to the body of Turtle Spirit Venerable, an indescribable feeling rose in his heart. He could feel that the special fluctuations that echoed with the strange fire in his body were getting stronger and stronger, as if calling him.

However, at this moment, the body that had been motionless suddenly changed. A dark brown flame burst out from the eyes of the skeleton of Turtle Spirit. The light was deep and mysterious, carrying an ancient and powerful power.

Faced with this sudden change, Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo immediately became alert and quickly stepped forward. Their eyes revealed vigilance, and they were ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.

This kind of sudden situation is often accompanied by unpredictable risks, and they must remain highly vigilant to ensure the safety of Xiao Ling and others.

In the sight of everyone, the body of the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire seemed to be awakened by some mysterious power. It slowly rose from the Ice Soul Cold Prison Jade Bed and floated into the air. Dark brown flames flickered in its empty eye sockets as it quietly stared at Xiao Ling and the others.
