Xiao Ling's eyes flickered with surprise after hearing this. According to Su Li, anyone who reached the high-level Grand Fighter could perform this technique in a misty environment. Doesn't that mean Grand Fighters could, under certain conditions, soar into the sky and gain the ability to fly? This would undoubtedly be an extremely practical fighting skill in the early stages of cultivation.

"This is indeed interesting." Xiao Ling responded with a smile, a hint of appreciation in his tone.

"In this case, Master Xiao Ling might as well study the training method of this fighting skill when choosing a fighting skill." Su Li gently suggested, "It shouldn't be too difficult for you to master it."

"Will do."

Xiao Ling nodded slightly and responded softly.

This miraculous method of riding the clouds may not be very practical for Xiao Ling now, but its elegant and otherworldly spirit is truly exciting.

Xiao Ling paused for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked curiously, "By the way, why is Miss Ning Yuxi not here? Is she out on a sect mission again? I heard the female disciples call her Big Sister before, so her status in Yin Valley must be quite high."

"Yuxi is the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation in Yin Valley, and she is also my disciple. When I was traveling around the continent, I found that she had a very high talent and was particularly suitable for practicing our Yin Valley's skills. So I brought her back to Yin Valley and trained her personally since she was a child. Now she is in seclusion for training, but she should be able to come out soon."

Hearing Xiao Ling's question, Su Litan opened her mouth slightly and patiently explained to Xiao Ling. From her words, one could hear a hint of pride.

After hearing this, Xiao Ling nodded, and the doubts in his heart disappeared, and he stopped asking questions. The three of them continued to walk towards the depths of the Sound Valley on the clouds.

……

This was an extremely open square, like a vast expanse of flat land. Xiao Ling was in the center of the square, sitting cross-legged on a cushion with a calm expression, and a spirit quenching cauldron was placed in front of him.

At this moment, a shocking scene appeared in the sky. Thousands of medicinal herbs were densely suspended above his head, flashing with colorful light under the sunlight. The scene was quite spectacular, as if it was a gorgeous starry sky formed by the gathering of medicinal herbs.

Many pretty elders and disciples of Yin Valley stood around the square. Their chirping and whispering were like the sound of birds singing in the wind, all because of Xiao Ling's arrival.

"It's actually Master Xiao Ling. Judging from the situation, he should be starting to refine pills." An elder said softly, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Looking at the quantity of these herbs, it must be at least an eighth-grade elixir. This is the first time I've witnessed the refining of an eighth-grade elixir!" A young female disciple whispered excitedly, staring at Xiao Ling in the center of the square without blinking, her face full of curiosity.

"Master Xiao Ling is indeed as handsome and elegant as the rumors say. He has an extraordinary demeanor. I really want to have a spontaneous love affair with Master Xiao Ling." Another female disciple said with a blushing face, a hint of shyness and admiration in her eyes.

……

Xiao Ling sat cross-legged on the futon, the noise around him seemed to have nothing to do with him. He carefully reviewed every step of refining the medicine, and his face gradually became serious.

He flicked his fingers lightly, and flames immediately rose into the air from the Spirit Tempering Cauldron. With a puff, the Five Spirit Flames instantly transformed into a fire dragon, tumbling and circling in the medicine cauldron. It was a spectacular scene.

When the temperature reached the ideal state, Xiao Ling stretched out his hand and gently stroked the air, and the endless stream of medicinal herbs separated, and bundles of medicinal herbs fell accurately into his grasp. Then, these medicinal herbs were quickly thrown into the medicine cauldron and swallowed by the fire dragon circling inside.

In the sky, the medicinal materials were as dense as a meteor shower. Under Xiao Ling's precise control, they seemed to be strung into a constantly flowing chain, continuously injected into the medicine cauldron. Every move he made seemed calm and unhurried, and his every move revealed a demeanor that only a master of alchemy could possess.

In just a few minutes, an astonishing energy wave burst out from the medicine cauldron, spreading in all directions like water ripples, causing the surrounding space to begin to tremble slightly.

"Valley Master, can this Master Xiao Ling really refine the Three-Line Spiritual Source Fuheng Pill? After all, this is already at the level of an eighth-grade peak pill? If he fails to refine it the first time, shouldn't we let him try to refine an ordinary Spiritual Source Fuheng Pill first? When his skills are more mature, it won't be too late for us to ask him to refine a difficult pill like the Three-Line Spiritual Source Fuheng Pill."

On one side of the square, an old woman with wrinkles on her face looked at the center of the square with worry. The herbs collected for refining Lingyuan Fuheng Dan were the three sets they had collected after traveling all over Zhongzhou. If they were all lost, their ancestors would face great difficulties.

Su Li stood at the head of the group. After hearing the elder's words, she could understand the elder's worries. After all, they were going to refine the legendary nine-color elixir, and Xiao Ling was only in his twenties.

Although his talent and strength have been recognized by everyone, his young appearance always makes people feel a little doubtful.

"I heard that Xingyun Pavilion has never failed in any of the alchemy commissions it has accepted. I think this young man must have some skills..." Before Su Li could open her mouth, an old woman next to her spoke.

This old woman is in charge of managing Yin Gu's affairs outside. Naturally, she knows Xiao Ling better than others, so she has more confidence in Xiao Ling's abilities.

"Don't worry, since the young master said it's not a big problem, then there must be no problem." Qing Lin, who was not far away, heard the doubts of the people around her about her young master, frowned, wrinkled her delicate nose slightly, and twisted her eyebrows slightly. In her heart, her young master was omnipotent and would not allow others to have the slightest doubt.

"This valley master believes in Master Xiao Ling's ability. If he plans to ask Master Xiao Ling to refine an ordinary seventh-grade Lingyuan Fuheng Pill after he fails because he is worried about failure, this would be a great disrespect to the alchemist. This behavior is definitely not a wise move."

Su Li glanced at the old women and spoke in a firm tone, revealing unquestionable majesty.

Hearing the Valley Master's firm words, several old ladies looked at each other, a hint of hesitation flashed in their eyes, and finally they all fell silent.

Now that things have come to this, what else can they do? Now they can only choose to believe Xiao Ling. After all, the Valley Master trusts him so much, maybe a miracle will really happen.

……

Refining elixirs, especially high-level elixirs, often takes a long time and cannot be completed in a day or two.

Just like the eighth-grade high-level elixir that Xiao Ling is currently refining, the refining process usually takes ten days to half a month, which is the norm for refining this type of elixir.

This time, Xiao Ling did not deliberately speed up the process of refining the eighth-grade nine-color elixir, but focused on every step and strived for perfection. For him, every step was crucial, and he devoted all his life's learning to the refining process.

In the square, the disciples of Yin Valley watched with great interest at first, but alchemy was a long process after all, and when their initial curiosity wore off, most of the disciples left the square one after another.

For a moment, the number of people in the square gradually dwindled, leaving only a few elders and Su Li still waiting patiently there.

On the other side of the square, Qing Lin, wearing a green dress, stood there quietly.

At this time, a woman with a veil on her face appeared beside her. The two stood side by side, each with their own unique appearance.

The breeze blew gently, and the tulle fluttered gently, revealing the woman's beautiful and flawless face.

She has a graceful figure and elegant temperament, like a fairy flower blooming in the clouds. Even if she stands there motionless, she exudes a fascinating charm, blending in with the surrounding environment, yet seeming to be detached from this world.

Chapter 384 Eighth Grade and Nine Colors

Time passed slowly, and Xiao Ling immersed himself in alchemy. With his careful refining, the first refining process went surprisingly smoothly.

Relying on the state of great perfection in the spiritual realm, Xiao Ling handled every step just right, and the injection of every bit of spiritual power was accurate and correct, and there were no accidents in the process of refining the pill.

Without anyone noticing, seven days passed by in the blink of an eye.

In an instant, the tranquility was suddenly broken, and a low and loud noise suddenly exploded between heaven and earth. The sound was like a dull thunder that echoed in the valley, deafening and making people's hearts suddenly tighten.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely strong energy wave, like a surging tsunami, suddenly erupted from the place where the alchemy was being refined, and spread out in all directions with an overwhelming force.

Immediately, the sky was filled with clouds. The clear sky was instantly covered by dark clouds. The clouds seemed to be summoned by a mysterious force and quickly gathered together at lightning speed.

"Look! This is the thunder tribulation caused by the upcoming release of a high-level elixir. The elixir is about to be refined!"

Seeing this shocking scene, someone in the crowd suddenly widened his eyes and shouted out in shock. The voice trembled slightly with excitement and spread in all directions in the whistling wind.

When the people around heard the shout, they all looked up at the sky with a look of shock on their faces.

"It's only been seven days and the elixir is about to be produced. Could it be that he directly refined a seventh-grade Lingyuan Fuheng Pill instead of an eighth-grade three-pattern Lingyuan Fuheng Pill?"

The old woman who had first questioned Xiao Ling frowned slightly and muttered to herself in confusion.

After all, the time Xiao Ling took to refine this time was too abnormal. It would take a normal eighth-grade alchemist longer to refine a seventh-grade pill, but this was much faster than the normal time to refine an eighth-grade pill, so it was understandable that he was misunderstood as refining a seventh-grade pill.

When the people around heard the old woman's whispers, they couldn't help but fall into deep thought, their eyes fixed on the calamity clouds that were constantly gathering in the sky, and they were all guessing the quality of the elixir in their hearts.

"No, the pill refined this time is definitely an eighth-grade pill. A seventh-grade pill would not emit such a strong energy fluctuation."

At this time, a middle-aged woman next to him started to explain. She was the alchemy elder of Yin Valley. Although she was only a low-level sixth-grade alchemist, she had accumulated a lot of experience when she went out to participate in alchemy conferences.

She knew very well that there was a significant difference in the energy fluctuations when the seventh-grade elixir and the eighth-grade elixir were born, just like a stream versus a river, and they could be distinguished at a glance.

Therefore, she was certain that this was a sign that the eighth-grade elixir was about to be born. The strong energy fluctuations were like a unique mark, leaving her with no doubt at all.

Before everyone had time to continue the discussion, they saw Xiao Ling, who was originally sitting quietly, making a new move.

Under those gazes, Xiao Ling slowly stood up, his figure tall and slender. The long hours of alchemy did not seem to have caused any damage to him.

The corners of Xiao Ling's mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident and calm smile, and his eyes looked towards the rolling thunderclouds in the sky.

At this time, the thunderclouds in the sky seemed to have life. After several violent tumblings, several wonderful changes occurred in succession.

The originally dark clouds gradually showed nine colors, each color was bright and dazzling, like a dream painting slowly unfolding in the sky.

These colors intertwined and merged with each other, and brilliant light flickered in the clouds, as if the entire sky was lit up, releasing a mysterious and powerful aura that shocked everyone on the ground.

"It is actually an eighth-grade colored pill thunder, and it is the highest grade nine-colored pill thunder!"

In an instant, the sky and the earth were illuminated by these gorgeous colors. The nine-colored thunder was like nine majestic dragons, rolling and roaring in the clouds, shining with awe-inspiring light.

Seeing this, Su Li's face, which was originally as calm as a deep pool of still water, suddenly showed an uncontrollable excitement. Her clear eyes were full of shock and surprise, as if she had seen the most incredible scene in the world.

The elders around also gasped and exclaimed one after another.

Qing Lin, who was not far away, stared at the dreamy nine-colored thunder in the sky with a proud smile on his face.

In her heart, her young master was omnipotent and could always create amazing miracles.

In today's world, how many alchemists can make nine-color elixirs? They are simply rare!

Many old monsters who have immersed themselves in alchemy for many years cannot make it in their entire lives.

Back then, even a peerless genius like Yao Chen had to go through countless attempts and accumulate years of experience in alchemy before he was able to refine an eighth-grade, nine-color elixir.

But what about Xiao Ling? He is only twenty years old, but he has already achieved such amazing results!

If this matter were to get out, it would definitely cause a huge storm in the outside world, and the entire continent would be shocked!

Xiao Ling looked up at the gorgeous nine-colored thundercloud in the sky, and a sense of complacency surged in his heart. This thundercloud was like a monument, announcing his achievements and strength.

You know, for countless alchemists, refining an eighth-grade nine-color pill is something they dare not even think about. It is like the stars hanging high in the sky, which can only be looked up but not touched. But Xiao Ling did it.

However, this time Xiao Ling was not able to refine an eighth-grade nine-color elixir all at once.

Although Xiao Ling's soul power has reached the Great Perfection of the Spirit Realm, he still lacks experience in alchemy. After breaking through to Dou Zun, he did not spend much time learning alchemy from Yao Chen before leaving Xingyun Pavilion. Moreover, he only refined a Fire Bodhisattva Pill in Fenyan Valley and did not practice alchemy well.

This time, Xiao Ling was more proficient in refining the pill, and with the assistance of three different strange fires and the ability to multitask, the steps of nourishing the pill were relatively easy.

Even so, at the beginning Xiao Ling could only refine an eighth-grade seven-color pill. In the end, he relied on the spiritual improvement method taught by Yao Chen to improve the quality of the pill, and successfully upgraded the grade of this pill to an eighth-grade nine-color pill.

"Oh no! The power of the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning cannot be underestimated. We cannot easily resist it! Elders, listen to my order and quickly activate the sect protection formation!"

Coming back to her senses from her joy, Su Li suddenly shouted, her brows knitted tightly together, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. The excitement on her face just now was fading away quickly.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling remained silent and did not speak out to stop it. He knew very well that the power of the Nine-Colored Pill Thunder was no joke, and it would be extremely difficult to catch it.

He also had no intention of letting the Heavenly Demon Puppet take it head-on. After all, before refining the elixir, he had already negotiated with Yin Gu on how to deal with the elixir thunder. In this situation, the employer had to find a way to solve it himself.

Around the square, the elders of Yin Valley had already been on high alert. They looked solemn, nodded one after another, and quickly formed hand seals at the same time.

In an instant, powerful fighting spirit spurted out from their hands, and these fighting spirits were like dazzling arrows of light, shooting into the air.

They intertwined and entangled in the air, like a pair of invisible hands carefully weaving a gorgeous and huge light net. As the fighting spirit continued to merge and change, an extremely large formation gradually took shape.

This formation was magnificent, like an inverted giant bowl, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura. It shone with colorful light, which was like layers of flowing light curtains, reflecting each other and dazzling.

The formation expanded rapidly, and soon covered an area of ​​several hundred feet in radius, as if it had created an independent world in this area, giving people an incomparably solid sense of security.

Just as the formation was taking shape, the Dan Lei in the sky seemed to have accumulated all its energy and finally began to attack.

The nine-colored pill lightning was like a peerless heavenly sword, carrying the momentum to destroy the world, and it slashed fiercely towards the bottom.

In an instant, the space became like fragile glass, with cracks appearing one after another. These cracks spread rapidly, as if they were going to tear the entire world apart.

Wherever Dan Lei passed, the air was compressed sharply, forming circles of shock waves visible to the naked eye, which spread wildly in all directions, making a deafening roar that seemed to shatter people's eardrums.

Everything around was trembling under this terrifying power, as if it would be completely destroyed by the pill thunder in the next second.
