There are only a handful of strong men above the level of Half Saint in the Soul Palace. Their current strategy is to keep a low profile and not easily disrupt the balance of Zhongzhou. Therefore, Xiao Ling's safety will not be threatened too much.
Anyway, Xiao Ling would definitely carry Yao Chen's space jade slip with him when he went out in the future. If he really encountered any difficult troubles or unsolvable crises, he would directly summon Yao Chen to help.
At that time, there is no need to think too much, just kill as many enemies as possible. After all, safety comes first, and everything else is secondary.
"Let's go. The scenery of the Starfall Pavilion is really nice. Do you remember? When we were in Shengdan City, you promised me that you would accompany me to watch the stars in the Starfall Pavilion."
The little medical fairy smiled gently, then waved her slender fingers, and a dark space passage appeared in front of her.
"Haha, don't worry, Xian'er, how could I forget? Wait until tonight, I will accompany you to see it enough." Xiao Ling responded with a smile. While speaking, he took the hands of Xiao Yixian and Qinglin, and the three of them walked into the space passage together.
……
In the center of Xingyun Pavilion, there is a spacious martial arts training ground where many disciples of Xingyun Pavilion gather. They are busy with their daily training.
Among this group of people, a girl in green clothes was particularly eye-catching. She had her hands behind her back, her posture was straight, and although her face was a little immature, her eyes revealed an unquestionable seriousness.
Mu Qingluan's eyes slowly swept across the martial arts training ground. When she found that no one was slacking off, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile.
However, in her heart, a small complaint was quietly spreading: "Master is really something. He hasn't shown up for more than a month. He left all the affairs of Xingyun Pavilion to me, and I don't know where he went. This responsibility is too heavy. It really makes people love and hate him."
"Senior Sister Qingluan, I heard that a master named Xiao Ling recently joined our Xingyun Pavilion. How come we haven't even seen his shadow? Is this really true?" At this time, a disciple behind Mu Qingluan asked curiously.
"Yes, yes," another disciple echoed, "Even Elder Tianhuo who joined with Master Xiao Ling has shown up a few times, but Master Xiao Ling seems to have evaporated from the face of the earth and has never appeared in Xingyun Pavilion."
"I have asked the chief elder of the Dan Hall before, and he said that even he has never seen Master Xiao Ling. Several other elders also said that they have never seen him. Isn't this a bit strange?" Another disciple joined the discussion.
Mu Qingluan came back to her senses when she heard the faint sound coming from behind her. She turned around and saw that the people who had just spoken were all young disciples who were quite famous in Xingyun Pavilion.
She then shook her fist gently and said with a hint of joking threat: "Are you doubting what I said? I'm not talking nonsense. I have indeed seen Master Xiao Ling with my own eyes. As for why you can't find him now, it's only because he is busy dealing with some personal matters."
However, Mu Qingluan's words were obviously not believed by the disciples of Xingyun Pavilion.
In their opinion, it is a great honor for Xingyun Pavilion to welcome a Dou Zun powerful person to join.
Although Master Xiao Ling is only a Dou Zong-level warrior, his identity as an eighth-grade alchemist is enough to make his status in any major force surpass that of many ordinary Dou Zuns.
Such a person cannot be won over easily.
Moreover, there are rumors that the three giants of Danta have personally extended an olive branch to Master Xiao Ling, and the conditions they offered are extremely tempting. But surprisingly, Master Xiao Ling actually rejected such an invitation.
As one of the four pavilions, Xingyun Pavilion is also a well-known and powerful force in Zhongzhou. But since the mysterious disappearance of Medicine Master Yao Chen, the reputation of Xingyun Pavilion has slowly gone downhill.
Compared with the Dan Tower in Shengdan City, which is currently in the limelight, the gap is not small.
Think about it, such a big shot, who could even refuse Danta’s invitation, how could he easily succumb to a small Xingyun Pavilion?
"Hehe, Senior Sister Qingluan, they don't believe you, but I do! I heard that Master Xiao Ling is not only incredibly talented, but also extremely handsome. Senior Sister, since you have seen him, are the rumors true? How does he compare to those portraits?"
At this time, a girl wearing light pink clothes and with a somewhat childish face, hugged Mu Qingluan's arm affectionately and asked curiously.
Mu Qingluan turned around and saw the person who was talking. A gentle smile immediately appeared on her face. She responded softly, "Haha, Junior Sister Youquan, you are very curious about Master Xiao Ling. Could it be that you are interested in Master Xiao Ling? But you are still young, don't put all your thoughts on this. Fortunately, cultivation is your primary goal at the moment."
Although Mu Qingluan is the eldest senior sister, she did not put on airs in front of Youquan. Instead, her attitude was so gentle that it made people feel warm.
It was because this girl named Youquan was a new disciple of Xingyun Pavilion. Her cultivation talent was amazing, and she had already become a great fighting master at the age of just over ten.
Such qualifications, coupled with her likable personality, make everyone willing to treat her kindly.
Mu Qingluan's teasing made Youquan's cheeks blush lightly. She quickly waved her hand, with a hint of excuse in her voice: "Oh, Senior Sister, you think too much. I really don't mean that. I'm just a little curious."
After all, Youquan had been called a genius since she was a child. She was naturally curious about people whose talents far surpassed hers and wanted to find out more. Even she herself was unsure whether she could reach the Dou Zong realm at the age of 20 like Xiao Ling.
Moreover, as a young girl, she was naturally curious about all beautiful things. So, when she heard the exaggerated description of Master Xiao Ling's appearance, she naturally wanted to know more.
When the female disciples around heard the conversation between Youquan and Mu Qingluan, they all cast curious glances at them. It was obvious that they were also full of expectations for Mu Qingluan's evaluation.
Mu Qingluan did not continue to tease Youquan, but nodded gently, as if recalling something, and then smiled and said: "Although I have not met Master Xiao Ling many times, his appearance is indeed very outstanding. It can be said that he is one of the most handsome men I have seen in these years. Even a handsome man like my master can hardly compare with him."
As she spoke, Mu Qingluan casually flipped a scroll from her sleeve, gently unfolded it, showed it to the disciples around her, and then asked, "Look, the man in the painting is Master Xiao Ling. What do you think of this painting? Is this appearance good-looking?"
On the scroll, the portrait of Master Xiao Ling is lifelike. His handsome face and deep eyes seem to be able to penetrate the scroll and directly into everyone's heart.
The female disciples gathered in front of the portrait, whispering to each other. Their faces were full of surprise and admiration, and they were obviously impressed by the demeanor of the person in the painting. Exclamations such as "too handsome" and "this is so beautiful" were heard from time to time among the female disciples.
Even a small number of male disciples could not help but quietly swallow their saliva when they saw this portrait. This scene made the male disciples around them take a step back and keep a distance from these people, as if they were afraid of being infected with this special habit.
Mu Qingluan looked at the disciples' enthusiastic reaction to the portrait and felt inexplicably proud in her heart. This was her senior brother.
Then he added: "Let me tell you, Master Xiao Ling in real life is many times more handsome than in this portrait..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Qingluan suddenly felt a warm touch on her head, and then a burst of laughter sounded in her ears.
"Haha, Junior Sister, I'm so happy that you praised me so much. Just tell me what kind of elixir you want, and I'll make it for you..."
Chapter 362: The Starry Sky of Xingyun Pavilion
The moment that magnetic voice was heard, the lively discussion came to an abrupt end, and everyone's eyes turned to the source of the sound like iron filings attracted by a magnet.
Behind Mu Qingluan, the void rippled slightly, and three figures, a man and two women, suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The man in the lead had a face as white as jade, a dignified look between his brows, and blue hair that shone in the sun. It was tied into a ponytail with a simple leather rope, swaying gently with his movements.
The bangs on his forehead fluttered gently in the wind, making his handsome face look smart and approachable.
He was wearing a blue and gold robe. The exquisite embroidery on the robe showed extraordinary craftsmanship. The hem fluttered gently in the wind, outlining his slender and upright figure, adding a sense of nobility to him.
Behind him, there was a woman standing on each side, like twin flowers, each with her own unique charm.
The woman on the left is dressed in a snow-white dress, with a veil lightly covering her face, revealing only a pair of eyes as clear as a lake.
Although her face was hidden behind the veil, the vague outline and the cool temperament emanating from her body were enough to make people imagine her peerless beauty.
Her existence is like a snow lotus blooming on the top of a snowy mountain, elegant and inviolable.
The woman on the right gives people a more lively feeling. She looks a little younger and is wearing a green dress. The hem of the dress sways gently with her steps, like willow branches swaying in spring.
She had several colorful bracelets on her wrists, which gently collided with her movements, but did not make the expected crisp sound.
She exudes a temperament like an orchid in a valley, fresh and unworldly, especially her green eyes, which seem to hide the stars and the sea, smart and full of spirit. Just one glance is enough to make people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
When the Xingyun Pavilion disciples around saw the demeanor of these three people, they couldn't help but give a heartfelt admiration.
Although they have seen many good-looking people in the past, it is the first time for many people to see three such dazzling people.
Their appearance seemed to brighten up the entire scene, making people unable to help but take a few more glances and sigh in their hearts.
Mu Qingluan turned around and saw the figures of Xiao Ling and the other two. She immediately recognized them and blurted out excitedly, "Senior Brother Xiao Ling, Senior Sister Xiao Yixian, Senior Sister Qinglin."
Xiao Ling smiled lightly and took back the hand that had just patted Mu Qingluan on the head. There was a hint of laughter in his tone: "Haha, Junior Sister Qingluan, I seemed to hear you talking about me just now."
"Hey, these people are just particularly interested in your affairs, Senior Brother Xiao Ling. They kept asking this and that before, which was really troublesome." After hearing what Xiao Ling said, Mu Qingluan nodded involuntarily and explained a little helplessly.
Then, Mu Qingluan looked at the Xingyun Pavilion disciples who were discussing something just now. She said to them with a little boast: "Look, this is the Master Xiao Ling you were discussing just now. What do you think? I didn't lie to you before, did I?"
"Moreover, Master Xiao Ling's elders are old friends of my master, which is why Master Xiao Ling joined the Xingyun Pavilion. So in terms of seniority, he is my senior brother."
After listening to Mu Qingluan's introduction, the Xingyun Pavilion disciples around them all looked back and forth between Xiao Ling himself and the face in the portrait. After confirming that they were correct, they were sure that the person in front of them was the Master Xiao Ling who had recently become famous.
In an instant, all the disciples of Xingyun Pavilion turned into excited little fans. They started talking and scrambling to get close to Xiao Ling, just like enthusiastic fans at a fan meeting.
"Master Xiao Ling, you have reached the Dou Zong level at such a young age. Can you share your cultivation secrets?" A young disciple raised his hand excitedly and asked, his eyes full of admiration.
"Master Xiao Ling, I heard that you have tamed a strange fire. Can you show it to us to broaden our horizons?" The voice of another disciple was full of anticipation, and his excitement was evident in his words.
The third-grade alchemist badge on his chest sparkled in the sun, indicating that he was also an alchemist. For an alchemist, the desire for strange fire is a persistent pursuit rooted in the soul.
“Master Xiao Ling, are you still single? My sister and I are twins, and we promise to satisfy you.”
Among these disciples who came one after another, two girls who looked similar blushed and bravely expressed their feelings to Xiao Ling.
As soon as these words came out, the female disciples around them cast jealous and competitive glances at them.
Xiao Ling's handsome appearance, coupled with his title of an eighth-grade alchemist, has already made him the prince charming and ideal partner in the hearts of countless girls in Zhongzhou.
Even if she couldn't become his principal wife, being his partner, even as a concubine, would be enough to make one's heart beat fast.
Upon seeing this, Mu Qingluan immediately stretched out her arms, and her fighting spirit spread out silently, forming an invisible barrier that kept those overly enthusiastic Xingyun Pavilion disciples out.
Her movements were skillful and natural, like a kitten guarding its food, and she kept these slightly over-excited disciples three feet away.
After separating those enthusiastic disciples, Mu Qingluan immediately assumed the posture of the eldest senior sister of Xingyun Pavilion. There was a hint of unquestionable majesty in her voice.
"Alright, behave yourself. Don't be so disrespectful. Senior Brother Xiao Ling is now an elder of our Xingyun Pavilion. You have to be polite when you see an elder, okay? You were so noisy just now, how could you be polite? If I see anyone dare to do that again, don't blame me for being rude."
As the eldest sister of Xingyun Pavilion and the direct disciple of the Pavilion Master, Mu Qingluan's prestige among the disciples of Xingyun Pavilion is not to be underestimated.
After she said this, the disciples restrained their behavior and became well-behaved. Despite this, their eyes still unconsciously drifted towards Xiao Ling, and they could not hide their excitement and admiration.
When Xiao Ling saw this scene, he couldn't help but shook his head helplessly. This lively scene reminded him of the time when he went out for training and returned to Canaan College.
However, his reputation now far exceeds that of that time, and these disciples of Xingyun Pavilion are much more enthusiastic than the younger students of Canaan College.
"Haha, I was just wandering around Xingyun Pavilion today. I'm sorry that I disturbed your practice." Xiao Ling chuckled and shook his head, looking casual. "I'm in a good mood today. These pills are just compensation for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ling waved his hand lightly, as if he was scattering a handful of bright stars in the air.
Dozens of jade bottles containing fourth- and fifth-grade medicinal pills flew lightly towards the disciples of Xingyun Pavilion as if guided by an invisible hand.
For the disciples of Xingyun Pavilion, these pills are undoubtedly rare treasures. They can help them improve their cultivation and even save their lives at critical moments.
However, to Xiao Ling, these were just little gadgets he made in his spare time, all of which were used to give as gifts or as tips. Even though he gave so many pills to the disciples of Xingyun Pavilion, he did not take it seriously.
Anyway, in Xiao Ling's opinion, these disciples of Xingyun Pavilion will become his subordinates in the future, so it is reasonable to take care of them in advance. Doing so can not only win their favor, but also leave a good reputation for himself.
When the disciples saw the pill flying over, they all reached out to catch it excitedly. When they got the jade bottle and opened it, the pill inside made them smile from ear to ear.
He secretly sighed in his heart, thinking that he was worthy of being an eighth-grade master alchemist. He was so generous that he gave away the fifth-grade elixir as soon as he said so. He was really generous.
Then, Xiao Ling reached out and gently rubbed Mu Qingluan's hair, smiling and saying, "Junior sister, what kind of elixir do you want? I've said before that I will make whatever you want for you. I haven't prepared a gift for you yet, so let's make it up to you this time."
Hearing that Xiao Ling was willing to personally help her refine the elixir, Mu Qingluan felt an irrepressible surge of excitement. She thought to herself, having an eighth-grade alchemist refine elixirs for her was a privilege that even her ancestors might not have had.
She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, how lucky she was to have met such a powerful senior brother. Indeed, it was such a blessing to have such a powerful senior brother.
"Since you said so, senior brother, can you help me refine a transformation pill?" After thinking for a while, Mu Qingluan made her request cautiously.
When Xiao Ling heard this, his eyebrows slightly raised, revealing a hint of curiosity, "What do you want the Transformation Pill for? I remember that you have taken the Transformation Pill before, and it seems that your current human form is quite stable."
Mu Qingluan scratched her head a little embarrassedly, with a bit of embarrassment in her smile, "Well, it's like this, I have a few cousins at home, and they haven't had the chance to take the Transformation Pill yet. If one of them can take a Transformation Pill in advance, it will definitely be of great benefit to their cultivation."
She paused, a blush on her face, and continued, "I know this is a bit unfair. After all, you were planning to give me a gift, but I wanted to use this gift to help them. But, brother, you also know that in the family, we have to take care of each other."
As she spoke, Mu Qingluan secretly glanced at Xiao Ling again, as if she was worried that he would be unhappy.
Xiao Ling couldn't help but chuckle at Mu Qingluan's shy look. He had never thought that Mu Qingluan would use this opportunity to help the family. He thought she would ask him to help refine an eighth-grade elixir.
