His words revealed a strong confidence, as if to say that even if Xie Biyan was alive, he would not be his opponent, let alone a mere magic poison spot. In Xiao Ling's eyes, this magic poison spot was just another way for him to improve his cultivation.

Seeing Xiao Ling so calm, Hai Bodong and the others gradually relaxed their tension. They realized that Xiao Ling was so powerful that he would not joke about his own safety. Their worries seemed unnecessary.

"Well, since you said so, then we are relieved." Hai Bodong breathed a sigh of relief, with a relieved smile on his face. They had absolute trust in Xiao Ling and knew that he would not do anything without a purpose.

The crowd around them gradually relaxed their tension. They watched Xiao Ling's confident demeanor, their hearts welling with admiration. In years, they had never seen anyone emerge unscathed from the effects of the Devil Poison. Furthermore, Xiao Ling was facing a Devil Poison cast personally by Xie Biyan, a top expert of the Ten Thousand Scorpions Sect. He not only withstood it with such ease, but also appeared to handle it with remarkable ease. This astonished them all; it was truly terrifying.

The powerful men around gathered around, their enthusiasm was even higher than before, vying to express their respect and gratitude to Xiao Ling.

"Haha, Master Xiao Ling is truly a rare genius in our Jia Ma Empire over the years. You are so powerful that even Xie Biyan's magic poison spots can't do anything to you."

"Yes, this time it's thanks to Master Xiao Ling's timely action, otherwise we might be in danger today."

Their praises came one after another, and everyone wanted to express their respect for Xiao Ling. The reason why they were so excited was not only because of Xiao Ling's powerful strength, but also because Xiao Ling's appearance did save many lives. They knew that if it weren't for Xiao Ling, the outcome today might be very different.

In response to the praise from the powerful men of the Gama Empire, Xiao Ling just smiled politely and didn't say much.

Just as everyone was about to continue talking, Jia Xingtian raised his hand in time, signaling everyone to be quiet. His voice was firm and powerful: "Okay, everyone, be quiet. Master Xiao Ling has just experienced a tough battle and now needs to rest. Let's not disturb him and let him go in and rest first."

"Oh, indeed, we were inconsiderate. Master Xiao Ling, please rest inside." Someone in the crowd reacted quickly, with a hint of apology in his tone, and then made way, motioning Xiao Ling to go first.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, and had no intention of staying there. So Xiao Yixian led him to their camp in the Black Mountain Fortress. To Xiao Ling's surprise, Medusa also came with them. She seemed to have something to say, but was hesitant. Seeing this, Xiao Ling did not ask more questions, thinking that if Medusa really had something to ask him, she would take the initiative to speak.

……

The Jia Ma Empire arranged a simple courtyard for Xiao Yixian and his group. Although the courtyard was not luxurious, every stone and every inch of land was cleaned up, showing the Jia Ma Empire's respect and attention to them. After all, among the many strong men participating in this war, most of them could only live in tents.

At the stone table in the courtyard, several people sat together and chatted leisurely. Xiao Ling was curious about what happened during his retreat, so he asked about the situation. Then, he turned to Zi Yan and began to ask, "I asked you to pack up the bodies of the Dou Huang Dou Wang. You haven't forgotten it, right?"

After hearing this, Zi Yan nodded confidently and replied, "Don't worry, I certainly won't neglect such a small matter. They have all been packed up and can be used at any time." There was a hint of pride in her words, and she was obviously happy that she could help Xiao Ling.

As Zi Yan spoke, she took out a bunch of storage rings from her storage space. These were the spoils she had taken from the Dou Wang and Dou Huang in the battle just now. She spread these storage rings casually on the stone table, and they shone with a faint light in the night.

"These rings contain the bodies of those people. I kept them specially for you." Zi Yan explained, "As for the other things in the rings, I didn't touch them. I don't like those messy things."

There was a hint of contempt in her tone, and it was obvious that she was not interested in the ordinary items in the ring.

Xiao Ling took the rings, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he said to Zi Yan: "Not bad, Zi Yan, you did a good job this time, thank you very much."

Zi Yan waved her hand, looking unconcerned, but with a hint of curiosity in her tone: "Hey, this is just a small matter. But, Xiao Ling, why are you collecting these corpses? I've never seen you have this hobby before. Besides, even if you sell the corpses of these strong men, they are not worth much money, so this should not be your purpose."

Xiao Ling saw that Zi Yan's curiosity was aroused. If he didn't give her an explanation, she would probably keep asking questions. So he said lightly: "These corpses are indeed of special use to me, but don't get me wrong, I don't have the quirk of collecting corpses. I just plan to use them to do some experiments in cultivation. This is just an idea that I came up with recently. It's no big deal, and you don't have to take it too seriously."

In fact, Xiao Ling asked Zi Yan to help collect the bodies of these strong men mainly to obtain the soul bodies among them. There were many people on the battlefield, and Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo were also present, so it was inconvenient for him to use the Ten Thousand Souls Banner directly.

These soul bodies are extremely valuable resources and must not be wasted. He planned to spend some time to let the Iron Guardian devour these soul bodies, which would undoubtedly greatly enhance the Iron Guardian's soul power. Afterwards, he planned to use the body of the Turtle Spirit Venerable and combine it with the Iron Guardian's strengthened soul body to refine a Heavenly Demon Puppet.

This idea has been brewing in his mind for a long time. The Heavenly Demon Puppet is a powerful puppet. If it is successfully refined, Xiao Ling will have a powerful bodyguard of Dou Zun level, which will undoubtedly greatly enhance his strength and safety.

After hearing this, Zi Yan was still a little confused, but seeing Xiao Ling said so, she stopped investigating. She knew that Xiao Ling always had his reasons for doing things, and he would not do things without a purpose.

At this time, Medusa saw that Xiao Ling seemed to be about to leave, and spoke hurriedly with a hint of urgency in her tone: "Xiao Ling, I have a request, I hope you can help me, I wonder if you are free now." Her voice was a little hesitant, and she obviously felt a little embarrassed to ask Xiao Ling for help.

Although the two of them had not been together for a long time, due to Zi Yan, Xiao Ling and Medusa had established a friendship. Although they did not communicate much, they already had a certain degree of understanding and trust with each other.

Medusa's attitude seemed a little awkward because she was not someone who was used to asking for help, but this matter was obviously very important to her.

As soon as Medusa finished speaking, Xiao Ling's curiosity was aroused. He turned his gaze to Medusa, his eyes flashing with interest. At the same time, Qing Lin, Xiao Yixian and Zi Yan also cast curious eyes, obviously wanting to know what Medusa's request was.

During the time when Xiao Ling was in seclusion to absorb the turtle spirit earth fire, Xiao Yixian and Qinglin did not leave the Xiao family, but they occasionally went to the territory of the snake people with Zi Yan. As time went by, Qinglin and Xiao Yixian's interactions with Medusa became more frequent, and they gradually became good friends.

They all knew that Medusa was a person with a very strong self-esteem, and she rarely asked for help from others. Therefore, when she took the initiative to ask for help now, it showed that she had indeed encountered something very important to her and needed Xiao Ling's help.

"Oh? Medusa, it seems you have encountered some difficulties." Xiao Ling's tone was relaxed, with a hint of inquiry.

Xiao Ling had an idea in mind, and he could probably guess why Medusa came to him this time. It was very likely that Medusa wanted to use his power to help her evolve her bloodline.

Just as Xiao Ling guessed, Medusa did come here to seek help. She frankly explained her request to Xiao Ling: "Xiao Ling, to be honest, we snake people have a secret method that can stimulate and enhance the power of blood through strange fire. I came here this time to ask for your help. Borrow your strange fire to help me complete this secret method and purify my blood."

Speaking of this, even Medusa, who always maintained a dignified attitude in front of outsiders, sighed softly, and her tone revealed a hint of helplessness that could not be concealed: "In our snake people, each generation of Medusa will take a special elixir before birth to cultivate potential. But when I was born, my mother, the previous Queen Medusa, could only get a mid-level elixir to nourish me because of the scarcity of resources in the tribe. According to common sense, such a talent can only support me to reach the level of Dou Zong at most."

She paused and continued, "In fact, I have reached the Dou Zong realm, but my cultivation has stagnated since then. I can feel my bottleneck, which is like a wall blocking my way forward."

Medusa's eyes flashed with determination. She knew that if she wanted to break this bottleneck, she would need to take some extraordinary measures. She turned to Xiao Ling with a glimmer of hope in her eyes: "Therefore, I hope you can use your strange fire to help me try to break through this limit. I know this may be a little risky, but I am willing to try."

Chapter 262: Refining the Demonic Poison Spots, Sorting Out

In this quiet courtyard, Medusa's words made everyone present feel her firm will and courage. Xiao Ling was no exception, he also felt deep admiration for Medusa's straightforwardness and tenacity.

Although Medusa seemed to be understating it, Xiao Ling knew that the secret method of the snake people, the process of using strange fire to evolve blood, was actually extremely dangerous. It was like burning one's body directly with strange fire, and enduring unimaginable pain.

Xiao Ling knew the power of strange fire better than anyone else. He had swallowed five strange fires before, and the burning pain still made him feel palpitations even when he recalled it now.

Whenever Xiao Ling swallowed the strange fire, in order to control the violent energy and alleviate his pain, he always had to rely on various elixirs and some special spiritual objects to resist the scorching burning of the strange fire.

Not to mention that Medusa intends to use the strange fire to evolve her own bloodline. This is almost an unprotected direct battle with the fire.

In the process of trying to use the strange fire to evolve her bloodline, Medusa will face the ruthless burning of the flames directly. The pain is so severe that it is difficult to describe in words, far exceeding what Xiao Ling endured when he swallowed the strange fire. Moreover, this kind of evolution is accompanied by huge risks. If you are not careful, you may die in the sea of ​​fire and everything will become nothingness.

Despite this, for the future of the snake people and to break her own limits, Medusa is still willing to bravely meet this challenge. Her courage and determination are undoubtedly one of her many shining points, which makes people can't help but be moved.

Medusa's expectant eyes were fixed on Xiao Ling, making him feel helpless. He shook his head slightly, and then said to Medusa: "Since you have made up your mind, I am willing to lend you a hand. However, I still have some matters to deal with. I have to stay in seclusion for a few days, and then I have to go out to get some necessary things."

"After I have dealt with all these matters, come back to me. If you still have the same plan, I will lend you the strange fire to help you evolve your bloodline. I will also help you control the intensity of the strange fire, thereby increasing your success rate in using the secret method. Even if something unexpected happens, I will take action in time to ensure your safety so that you don't lose your life."

After receiving Xiao Ling's affirmative answer, Medusa felt much more relaxed. A glimmer of gratitude flashed in her eyes, and a smile appeared unconsciously at the corner of her mouth. She said to Xiao Ling: "Thank you, Xiao Ling. You will always be a friend of the snake people."

Medusa had already made up her mind to use the secret method to purify her blood. Even if she had to wait for Xiao Ling for a while, she would not change her decision.

This determination comes from her deep expectations for the future of the snake people and her unlimited pursuit of her own potential.

Medusa was determined to surpass the limitations of her talent. She didn't want to stay at the Dou Zong level anymore. She recalled her sister Zi Yan. When they first met, Zi Yan was only a fifth-level monster. Now she was about to break through to the seventh level and might even surpass her. This made the always proud Medusa feel pressured.

She longed to improve her strength, not only for her own growth, but also for the future of the Snake People. Although the Snake People had found a foothold in the Gama Empire, it was still far from what Medusa expected.

She has her sights set further. The ultimate goal of every Medusa Queen is to lead the snake people back to their homeland, the Beast Realm of Zhongzhou.

In order to achieve this goal, Medusa knew she needed a stronger force. Only by becoming stronger could she lead her people to prosperity and freedom.

"Haha, we have always been friends, haven't we?" Xiao Ling responded with a slight smile.

Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Medusa felt an inexplicable joy in her heart, but she did not show it. She stood up and said calmly: "The snake people still have a lot of things waiting for me to deal with. The war is over, and the people should return to their own places of residence."

After saying this, Medusa left the courtyard without stopping for long. Her figure gradually disappeared outside the door, her steps firm and powerful.

Watching Medusa leave, Xiao Ling retracted his gaze, turned to Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin, and said to them: "I have to deal with the matter of the demon poison spot first, which should take a day or two."

He went on to say, "After I finish, I plan to go to Mulan Valley, Jinyan Sect, and Wanxie Sect. Their defenses are not as strong as before, so it's a good time for me to act. I plan to take away all the resources they have collected over the years without anyone noticing. They dared to attack the Gama Empire, so they have to pay a price."

When Zi Yan heard Xiao Ling's plan, her eyes lit up immediately. She was very excited about this kind of sneaking into the treasure house and plundering it. She jumped up excitedly and said to Xiao Ling eagerly: "I want to go too, I want to go too! Xiao Ling, take me with you next time you go, it sounds so exciting!"

Xiao Ling shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "I plan to act alone this time and will not be away for too long. You can go to Medusa and wait for me. After I finish dealing with these things, I will come to you."

He then turned to Xiao Yixian, with a hint of seriousness in his tone: "Xian'er, please inform the others for me later. I want to use this place for retreat, and I don't want to be disturbed by anyone during this period."

After hearing Xiao Ling's instructions, Xiao Yixian and Qinglin both nodded in agreement, while Zi Yan lowered her head in a somewhat disappointed mood. However, he did not refute Xiao Ling's proposal. She was also very happy to play with Medusa, and soon regained her smile.

Xiao Yixian nodded and responded firmly: "Okay, I will go and inform them. We will go to the snake people's territory to wait for you, don't keep us waiting too long." There was a hint of playfulness in her words. She hadn't seen Xiao Ling for so long, and she missed him a little.

"Don't worry, Xian'er, I will be back as soon as possible. When I finish these things, we will have a good reunion." Xiao Ling assured Xiao Yixian with a smile, his eyes full of warmth and expectation.

Immediately, Xiao Ling waved to Xiao Yixian and the others, turned around and walked into a temporary practice room. His figure quickly disappeared behind the door, and he began his next closed-door practice.

Seeing that Xiao Ling had left, Xiao Yixian, Qinglin and Ziyan did not stay in the courtyard for long. They acted quickly, conveyed Xiao Ling's instructions to the officers stationed in the fortress, and then headed in the direction of Medusa.

……

As soon as he entered the training room, Xiao Ling immediately started to deal with the problem of the demon poison spots. If he wanted to turn this poison into a boost to his cultivation, he would need to use some means.

Xiao Ling unbuttoned his shirt and took it off, revealing a black spot on his chest. This was the mark caused by the poisonous spot of the Scorpion Rock.

Xiao Ling stared at the black spot on his chest. It seemed to have its own will and was trying to spread its poison around. But every time the poison tried to spread, it was firmly blocked by an invisible barrier and could not move forward. Despite this, the poison spot continued to struggle, seemingly unwilling to give up.

In the past, in an emergency, Xiao Ling simply sealed the toxin to prevent it from spreading. But now, he needs to solve this problem thoroughly.

Driven by Xiao Ling's thoughts, the strange fire in his body flowed slowly toward his chest like a docile snake. When it touched the black spot, it made a subtle "chi chi" sound, as if ice melted when it met fire. At the same time, a strand of black poison line rose from the spot, like evaporated poison gas, and a stream of pure fighting spirit flowed into his body along his meridians.

Xiao Ling immediately felt the flow of this Dou Qi, and he did not hesitate to activate his Burning Technique technique and began to absorb this pure power. A satisfied smile appeared on his face. This Dou Qi absorbed directly from a Dou Zong master, its purity and effect, was incomparable to any panacea.

"As expected of a four-star Dou Zong, this gift really surprises me." Xiao Ling secretly admired in his heart. He could feel the huge energy contained in this magic poison spot. "Haha, Xie Bi Yan, I would like to call you the strongest experience gift package after my old friend Han Feng."

As Xiao Ling absorbed the pure Dou Qi energy, he began to concentrate on activating the strange fire in his body to refine the poisonous spots on his chest. His eyes were slightly closed, and a focused expression appeared on his face. The air around him seemed to feel this power and fluctuated slightly.

As Xiao Ling exerted all his strength, the strange fire in his body seemed to be given life, and its strength was several times greater than before. The strange fire turned into a huge fire net, tightly wrapping the black magic poison spot. Every thread of the fire net emitted a blazing light, and they intertwined and entangled around the magic poison spot, forming an airtight cage.

The demonic poison spot felt an unprecedented threat and began to struggle frantically, trying to escape the strange fire. Thin, long, black poisonous threads continuously emerged from the black spot. These poisonous threads were filled with toxicity and attempted to corrode the fire net formed by the strange fire, looking for a chance to escape.

However, how could the power of the strange fire be countered by mere demonic poison? Whenever the black poisonous thread touched the fire net, it would be mercilessly evaporated and turned into nothingness. Not only was the fire net not corroded, but it became even hotter and stronger as the demonic poison spots struggled.

A look of concentration appeared on Xiao Ling's face, his eyes were closed tightly, and he was concentrating on controlling the strange fire.

As time passed, the struggle of the demon poison spot gradually weakened, and finally stopped completely. Under the continuous refining of the strange fire, it finally turned into a ball of extremely pure energy, emitting a faint light, quietly suspended in Xiao Ling's chest.

Xiao Ling slowly opened his eyes, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. This ball of energy contained Xie Biyan's lifelong cultivation, which was undoubtedly a huge fortune.

But he was not in a hurry to refine it. Instead, he carefully sealed it in his body, preparing to absorb it gradually in the days to come, so as not to burden his body by absorbing too much at one time.

As the last trace of the strange fire in the training room dissipated, Xiao Ling slowly opened his eyes, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He stood up, tidied his clothes quickly, and then reached out from his waist to take out two storage rings, which were the spoils obtained from Mulan Sanlao and Yan Luotian. As for Xie Biyan's storage ring, it had been given to Xiao Yixian and was not in his hands at the moment.

Xiao Ling frowned slightly, and a wisp of almost invisible soul power slowly seeped out from his forehead, like a thin thread, quietly penetrating into the storage ring of the three elders of Mulan. The three elders had already fallen, and the soul imprints they left on the storage rings naturally became fragile and could not block Xiao Ling's soul power.

Xiao Ling's soul perception was like a deft hand, easily penetrating the defense of the ring and quickly searching inside. His perception wandered in the space inside the ring, and every item could not escape his detection.

After a while, he flipped his palm lightly, and three scrolls made of white animal bones appeared in his hand. On the surface of these scrolls, there were several blood-red characters engraved, and they seemed to be condensed from blood, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

"Three Beasts Savage Art." Xiao Ling's eyes swept across the scroll and whispered the name. This was exactly the unique skill of the three elders of Mulan, and now it became his trophy.

Xiao Ling casually unfolded the three scrolls and found that the contents of each volume were different. The "Three Beasts Savage Art" is divided into three volumes, upper, middle and lower, which are treasured by the three elders of Mulan Valley. The handwriting on the scroll is simple and mysterious, and every stroke seems to contain a trace of time.

However, Xiao Ling only glanced at it roughly and did not study it in depth.

Although the three "Three Beasts Savage Art" techniques are extremely powerful and can gather the power of three people to enhance their strength, there is an unacceptable side effect during the practice. The practitioner will temporarily turn into a half-beast, which is undoubtedly unacceptable to Xiao Ling and his companions who pay attention to their image.

The skills that Xiao Ling and his companions have are enough for them, and they don't need these so-called "Three Beasts Savage Art" to improve their strength. In the eyes of outsiders, these scrolls may be priceless treasures, but in Xiao Ling's opinion, they are not very useful, and it is a pity to eat them and throw them away.

Xiao Ling planned to leave these three scrolls in the library of Canaan College after returning to the college. Although these scrolls were not suitable for him, there might be others in the college who could benefit from them, or the elders of the college could research a more suitable method for cultivation.

Xiao Ling shook his head gently, no longer hesitating, and put the three scrolls containing the Three Beasts Savage Secret into his ring properly.

Then, he stretched out his hand, and Yan Luotian's storage ring fell steadily into his palm.

Then, Xiao Ling closed his eyes, and his soul force slowly penetrated into the interior of the ring like a gentle breeze. His spirit wandered in the space of the ring, feeling the breath of each item.

As Xiao Ling's fingers moved slightly, a golden scroll was gently pulled out by his soul power.
