People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

"The effect is quite amazing. Xian'er can now control the toxins in her body freely, and her cultivation has broken through to the peak of the four-star Dou Zun. I believe that after she absorbs the Netherworld Poison Fire, she should be able to reach the level of a five-star Dou Zun." Xiao Ling nodded and responded with a smile.

"Hi~!"

Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Venerable Tianhuo and Yao Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath, their eyes widening as if they were about to pop out of their heads.

Of course, they didn't think Xiao Ling was joking, but such a speed of cultivation really shocked them.

The two exchanged glances, and an inexplicable emotion surged in their hearts.

“Tsk tsk, I practiced for hundreds of years and relied on the help of the Fallen Heart Flame to barely reach the Five-Star Dou Zun. I didn’t expect that girl to almost reach this level in just a few years.” Skyfire Venerable stroked his beard and sighed, “It seems that her future achievements will definitely surpass mine. The cultivation speed of this evil poison body is really unbelievable.”

“If my good friend who possesses the poisonous body could control his physique like this girl, not only would he not have encountered such a tragedy, he would probably have already become one of the top strongest men in this continent.” When he said this, there was a hint of regret in the tone of Skyfire Venerable.

Yao Chen was quite open-minded. He felt that although Xiao Yixian and Xiao Ling had not formally become his disciples, they were still half his disciples. Seeing their growth, he naturally felt very gratified.

“When we have time in the future, we can let Xian’er look for the method of the poison seal. When she masters the poison seal, that is when her poison body will be truly perfected. By then, her cultivation will be even more amazing, and the gap with me at my peak will not be too big.” Yao Chen touched his transparent beard, with a hint of anticipation in his tone.

Then, he changed the subject, looked at Xiao Ling, and said half-jokingly: "By that time, you will be far behind Little Medical Fairy. You have to work harder, at least break through to the Dou Zun realm."

"Hehe, once things here are settled, I'll return to Xingyun Pavilion and will definitely find an opportunity to go into seclusion and strive to break through to the Dou Zun level." Xiao Ling responded easily while scratching his head.

After hearing what Yao Chen said, Xiao Ling did feel a little pressure in his heart. During these days in Zhongzhou, he never relaxed his cultivation, but it was not easy to break through to Dou Zun.

Take the Qianbaier Elders who guarded the treasure house of Canaan College for example. They have been practicing in seclusion for many years but still have not been able to break through to the Dou Zun realm. This is enough to show that it is very difficult to cross this hurdle.

Since they entered the Dou Zun realm, it took them only more than ten years to climb to the high-level Dou Zun. This is enough to show that crossing the threshold of a major realm is much more difficult than advancing a small stage.

Although Xiao Ling showed a good talent for cultivation since he was a child, it was only relatively good. But he did not have a special physique, so if he did not encounter any special opportunities, even if he could break through to Dou Zun, it would probably take him one or two years.

Fortunately, Xiao Ling still had some pure fighting spirit given by Xie Biyan in his body, as well as the fire beads obtained from the underground magma world. As long as he found a suitable time to practice in seclusion, these resources should be able to help him shorten the time required for breakthrough.

Once he successfully breaks through to the Dou Zun level, Xiao Ling will be able to strive for those great opportunities that were out of reach when he was not strong enough.

Then, Xiao Ling chatted with Skyfire Venerable and Yao Chen for a while. After chatting for a while, he planned to go to the Ye family to borrow some alchemist books to enrich his knowledge base.

As for Venerable Skyfire, he will stay here to look after Little Medical Fairy, so that he can provide timely assistance in case of any emergency.

Just when Xiao Ling was about to leave, the three of them suddenly stopped what they were doing at the same time, frowned slightly, and looked up at the sky almost at the same time.

In their sight, a tiny space crack appeared in the sky. The crack was not noticeable at first, but soon it began to expand gradually, as if the sky was torn open.

The crack continued to extend, and eventually expanded to a length of a hundred feet, like a huge spatial scar, stretching across the sky.

Such unusual movements naturally attracted the attention of the residents of Yecheng. They stopped what they were doing and looked up at the space crack, their eyes full of confusion and doubt, and they inevitably felt a little uneasy.

"What happened? Why did such a big crack suddenly appear in the sky?" someone said in surprise.

"Could it be that some Dou Zun-level expert is performing some powerful fighting skills?" another person guessed with a hint of awe in his tone.

"Did someone in Yecheng offend such a strong man?" Someone whispered, frowning, as if thinking about the possible reasons.

People in the city began to whisper, discussing the secrets that might be hidden behind this sudden space crack.

For them, such a phenomenon is undoubtedly rare and disturbing, and everyone is guessing what will happen next.

Under the puzzled gazes of the residents of Yecheng, the dark space crack stopped expanding, and then, figures in black robes slowly emerged from the crack.

There were more than ten figures in total, and they were quietly floating in the sky above Yecheng.

With the appearance of the last figure, the huge black space crack began to close slowly and finally disappeared into the air, as if it had never appeared.

When all these men in black robes appeared, the sky above Yecheng seemed to be shrouded in a shadow, and an eerie atmosphere began to spread in the air.

The sunlight seemed to be obscured by this ominous atmosphere, and the people in the city felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

"What is...what is going on?" someone muttered in a low voice with a slight tremor in his voice.

"Who are they? Why did so many people suddenly appear?" Another person stared at the sky, his eyes full of vigilance.

"Looking at them, they don't look like good people." Someone whispered, feeling uneasy.

The residents in Yecheng began to feel nervous. They didn't know what these suddenly appearing men in black robes would bring, but their intuition told them that this was definitely not a good thing. The atmosphere in the whole city became tense and solemn.

On Xiao Ling's side, when the three saw the figures of those people appearing, they immediately recognized the identities of these people.

"Soul Palace! These rats in the sewers are really haunting us." Yao Chen stared at the people in the sky, his tone full of disgust and anger. Yao Chen naturally hated the Soul Palace that had once harmed him and reduced him to the status of a wandering ghost.

"The people from the Soul Palace have always been secretive about their whereabouts. Why did they appear in Yecheng so blatantly this time? Could it be related to us?" Venerable Skyfire touched his chin, with a hint of doubt and vigilance in his tone.

At this moment, someone among the people from the Soul Palace seemed to sense the gazes of Xiao Ling and the others, and then two sharp eyes swept towards the Ye family.

Chapter 336: Qinghai Reverend, Qin Tian Reverend

When the two turned their eyes to this side, Yao Chen had already nimbly slipped into the Bone Flame Ring. His current appearance was not suitable for him to hang around under the eyes of the Soul Palace.

He thought to himself that it would not be too late to go to the Soul Palace to settle the score after he recovered his physical body. At that time, he would definitely teach them a lesson.

Venerable Tianhuo and Xiao Ling had no intention of hiding anything. Since the other party had come to their door, they were sure that the other party had clear information and confirmed that they were here.

As soon as the two people from the Soul Palace saw the person they were looking for, they exchanged glances and a sly smile appeared on the corners of their mouths at the same time.

Then, they appeared above the Ye family as if they were walking on air. Behind them, more than a dozen Soul Palace guardians followed closely behind them. This scene was quite spectacular.

“Hehehe, we are doing business in the Soul Palace, and unrelated people had better get out of the way quickly. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude. We came here this time specifically to invite Master Xiao Ling to join our Soul Palace. I wonder if Master Xiao Ling could show up to see us.” One of the leading men in black robes said in a sinister tone.

As his voice fell, a majestic momentum quickly enveloped the Ye family like a dark cloud. The sky seemed to feel the pressure as well and instantly became much gloomier.

At the same time, the Soul Palace guardians following behind him also began to take action.

Suddenly, black chains appeared in their hands. Black mist spread in the sky. The chains collided with each other and made rattling sounds one after another, creating an extremely eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

Seeing this scene, everyone present could tell that these people came here with obvious ill intentions.

At this time, the atmosphere in the front yard of the Ye family was extremely tense. The members of the Ye family were in a mess. The overwhelming aura just now clearly revealed that the opponent's strength was far beyond what the Ye family could contend with.

What is even more frightening is that the power behind these visitors, Soul Palace, is the top power in Zhongzhou, and even Danta is wary of it.

Among this group of people, except for the two old men in the lead who were obviously at the Dou Zun level, the others were at least high-star Dou Zong, and none of them was lower than the eight-star Dou Zong level.

You know, the Ye family now only has a few Dou Zong-level elders in the family, and there is not even a Dou Zun-level strongman. How can they resist such a situation?

The members of the Ye family could only stare at the people in the Soul Palace in the sky in amazement. The strange, cold and majestic aura emanating from those people made it almost impossible for the weaker people to breathe.

"These...are these all people from the Soul Palace?"

"Are they here to look for Master Xiao Ling? Do they want to invite Master Xiao Ling to join the Soul Palace?"

"Is there something wrong with your eyes? These people are obviously here with ill intentions. If Xiao Ling really goes to the Soul Palace, will there be any good consequences?"

"Then what should we do with the Ye family? Xiao Ling is here with us now, what should we do?"

Just as the Ye family was in chaos and panic, suddenly, two dazzling rays of light shot out from the depths of the Ye family manor and rushed straight into the sky. Then, the two rays of light stopped steadily opposite the people in the Soul Palace.

When the light faded, two figures were revealed. They were Xiao Ling and Skyfire Reverend. As soon as they appeared, their powerful aura surged out like a tide, colliding head-on with the oppressive feeling emitted by the people in the Soul Palace, and actually completely offsetting the opponent's aura.

Everyone in the Ye family couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw this scene. The appearance of Xiao Ling and Skyfire Venerable should not affect the Ye family now.

Xiao Ling and Venerable Tianhuo stood side by side. Their eyes were calm and they did not show any fear towards the strong men from the Soul Palace.

There was a relaxed smile on Xiao Ling's lips, as if those people from the Soul Palace who were feared by the outside world were not taken seriously by him at all.

"You have come to see me in such a high profile, shouldn't you introduce yourselves first?" Xiao Ling casually glanced at the people in the Soul Palace in front of him, smiled slightly, and said in a flat tone.

In his perception, one of the two Soul Palace leaders was about three-star Dou Zun, and the other was two-star Dou Zun. With the presence of two five-star Dou Zun-level masters, Tianhuo Zun and Tianyao Kui, Xiao Ling was not panicked at all.

When the two leading Soul Hall people heard Xiao Ling's words, they couldn't help but exchange surprised glances, as if they were puzzled by Xiao Ling's calmness. They thought, does this guy really think that they brought so many people here just to chat with him?

The aura of the Skyfire Venerable had been completely restrained, and he was standing next to Xiao Ling. With Xiao Ling's efforts to conceal his aura, the two people from the Soul Palace could not see his cultivation level at all, and naturally did not regard him as a threat.

“Hehehe, I am Qinghai, the respected elder of the Soul Palace, and this is my colleague Qin Tian. Our Palace Master thinks highly of you, and this time we came here to invite you to join the Soul Palace. With the support of the Soul Palace, your talent will be better utilized, and it will not be difficult to become the top alchemist in the Douqi Continent in the future.”

The elder Qinghai first introduced himself and Qin Tian's identities, and then directly extended an invitation to Xiao Ling.

"I advise you not to be ungrateful. Soul Palace is one of the most powerful forces in Zhongzhou. If you refuse, we can only use strong means to bring you back to Soul Palace."

Qin Tianzun also chimed in, his tone carrying a hint of threat and coldness.

These two people, one played the good guy and the other played the bad guy, which made Xiao Ling stunned.

"I'm flattered to be valued so much by the Soul Palace, but unfortunately, I have no interest in joining the Soul Palace. So, you guys should just stay where you want." Xiao Ling spread his hands casually, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Although Xiao Ling couldn't figure out why the Soul Palace was suddenly interested in him, if he went to the Soul Palace, wouldn't that be like courting death? As a descendant of the Xiao clan, let alone the Soul Palace, even the Soul Clan, the Soul Palace's immediate superior, had an irreconcilable feud with him.

Now that the people from the Soul Palace came to him, Xiao Ling felt that he had indeed been a bit too ostentatious before. In Zhongzhou, there were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers. How could a small Dou Zong like him just act wildly? It seemed that he had to keep a low profile in the future. It was best to develop in secret.

Moreover, they have to speed up the process of helping Yao Chen rebuild his body. Once he recovers his body, he will be able to reach the level of a Fighting Saint. With such a powerful backer like him, even the Soul Palace will have to think twice.

I don't know when Xun'er will come to find me. Logically speaking, the ancient clan's information network is so developed that she should have known about my coming to Zhongzhou a long time ago, otherwise the plan to restore Yao Chen's body would be ruined.

"Hmph, since you are so ungrateful, then this Venerable can only take you back to the Soul Palace by force." Venerable Qinghai was angered by Xiao Ling's straightforward refusal. He snorted coldly, stretched out his dry palm, and slapped it hard.

As he moved, a blood-colored giant hand appeared out of thin air, and rushed towards Xiao Ling with amazing momentum. The space around the giant hand seemed unable to withstand this force, and cracks appeared faintly, which showed the power of this move.

Moreover, this attack was not only aimed at Xiao Ling, but also at the Ye family. If Xiao Ling chose to dodge, the Ye family would suffer a devastating disaster. Although this was just a casual attack by the Qinghai Venerable, it was an unbearable blow to the Ye family.

After launching this attack, a sneer appeared on the face of Qinghai Reverend. He seemed to have seen the scene of Xiao Ling being forced to submit, and a hint of pride was revealed in his indifferent eyes.

However, Xiao Ling's face did not show the panic that Reverend Qinghai expected.

Before Lord Skyfire could make a move, Xiao Ling had already taken a step forward and stood firmly in the air. His hands began to quickly form complex hand seals.

As the handprints continued to change, the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth began to stir, as if attracted by some kind of force. These energies gradually condensed into a golden half-figure with a height of 100 feet behind Xiao Ling.

Although the figure's face could not be seen clearly, there was a golden light flickering in his eyes, and a majestic aura emanated from him. There seemed to be some kind of spirituality contained in those eyes.

"Have you ever seen a palm technique that falls from the sky?" Xiao Ling's lips curled up into a confident smile. As he spoke, the handprints in his hands suddenly stopped changing.

Then, he swung his right hand violently, pointing directly at the menacing blood-red handprint, and shouted, "Great Wilderness Prisoner Heaven Hand!"

"Fall!" As Xiao Ling's palm pressed down suddenly, the huge golden figure behind him seemed to be in telepathic communication with him and made an ancient and deep voice.

His movements were exactly the same as Xiao Ling's. He stretched out a giant golden palm and slapped the bloody giant hand hard.

The golden and bloody forces collided violently in mid-air, like two torrents converging in the void, erupting with an earth-shaking roar.

The golden palm brought with it an irresistible pressure, firmly suppressing the attack of the bloody giant hand.

Under the impact of this force, the surrounding space began to twist and deform, as if it could break at any time.

The golden giant palm and the bloody palm confronted each other in mid-air for a brief moment. Then, the bloody palm shattered like fragile glass under the pressure of the golden palm, turning into countless bloody energy particles and drifting away with the wind.

The attack of the golden giant palm did not stop because of this. It continued to strike down towards the location of Qinghai Venerable with the force of thunder.

This scene shocked the spectators around. They did not expect that Xiao Ling could actually confront a Dou Zun-level strong man head-on, and it seemed that he had the upper hand.

Qinghai Zunzhi was also surprised. He had not used his full strength at first, fearing that he might accidentally kill Xiao Ling, so he intentionally restrained some of his strength.
