"Junior Xingyun Pavilion Qinglin, greetings to the senior."
Qing Lin also bowed slightly to Chu Wanqing. Facing a senior who had reached the level of Dou Sheng, Qing Lin still knew that he needed to observe some etiquette.
Chapter 390 Shared Perception
Chu Wanqing nodded slightly, her expression indifferent, and said softly: "This breakthrough is really an unexpected surprise."
She looked at Su Li and Ning Yuxi with a gentle look in her eyes, "The change in Yin Valley today is also due to chance. I also know what happened. It is related to you two. I have to thank you for this."
After hearing what the Grand Elder said, Ning Yuxi and Su Li thought that the Grand Elder was referring to the fact that they had invited Master Xiao Ling to heal their injuries.
It was precisely because of their actions that, with the help of Master Xiao Ling, the Grand Elder's injuries were recovered and he even achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation.
The two looked at each other, and a proud smile appeared on their faces. They both believed that they had a significant role in this matter, and they were more or less happy in their hearts.
Chu Wanqing stopped paying attention to the two girls and looked at Qinglin again, "My friend from Xingyun Pavilion, there is no need to be polite. Today's incident was all thanks to your young master."
However, when Chu Wanqing turned her gaze to Qinglin, she immediately noticed that Qinglin was unusual. And when Chu Wanqing's eyes fell on Qinglin's emerald green eyes, she couldn't help but reveal a smile of surprise and interest on her face.
Qing Lin was confused by Chu Wanqing's reaction and took a few steps back. She felt relieved until she was sure that Chu Wanqing had no intention of taking any action against her.
Qing Lin bowed slightly to Chu Wanqing, and then asked with a hint of concern: "Senior, I want to know how my young master is doing now, why haven't I seen him show up?"
When Chu Wanqing heard Qing Lin's question, she looked away from Qing Lin's eyes, and then looked at Qing Lin's wrist, then she withdrew her gaze and replied:
"Xiao Ling? He is still in cultivation. You don't need to worry too much. He will probably be out of retreat in a while. If you miss him, just wait here for a while."
As Chu Wanqing finished speaking, she gently stretched out her hand and waved it, and a gentle force surged out from her palm. The area below that was originally covered by the mysterious force was like a layer of fog that was slowly being cleared away, and it became clear again.
In that area, the flowers, plants and trees were still full of vitality after experiencing the previous turmoil. Although some of the surrounding buildings were damaged, there was still no damage overall.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to the newly clear area, and they soon saw the secret room. The secret room was severely damaged in the previous turmoil, but Chu Wanqing repaired it after the breakthrough. Now the secret room is intact and no different from before.
The secret room was surrounded by a faint energy halo, and as the halo circulated, it seemed that a mysterious force was surging in it. This was a restriction that Chu Wanqing had specially arranged for Xiao Ling to isolate all external interference and ensure that Xiao Ling would not be disturbed during his practice.
At this moment, if you sense towards the secret room, you can sense an extremely hot breath in it, which is obviously emitted by Xiao Ling.
After feeling that Xiao Ling was fine, Qing Lin breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she had also felt something before, but hearing Chu Wanqing's confirmation in person made her feel more at ease.
"Thank you very much, senior. I think the young master's current level of cultivation is closely related to you." Then, Qinglin expressed his gratitude to Chu Wanqing again.
She could clearly feel that Xiao Ling's aura was much stronger than before. Considering the current situation, Xiao Ling should have gained an opportunity while treating the Supreme Elder of Yin Valley.
Hearing Qinglin's words, Chu Wanqing was slightly stunned at first, then nodded gently to Qinglin, and said calmly: "That is his own good fortune, he deserves it."
After saying this, she slowly raised her head and looked at the sky which had regained its azure blue color. The sky was like a piece of clear blue silk, pure without a trace of impurities.
A complex and incomprehensible look flashed across Chu Wanqing's eyes, as if a stone was thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. For a moment, her mind was filled with thousands of thoughts, all of which came to her mind one after another.
She thought that she had experienced many vicissitudes of life, and her state of mind had long been as solid as a rock, and would not be easily affected by the outside world. But now, why was her heart so disturbed?
After a brief pause, she seemed to be pulled by some force, and slowly turned her head, her eyes falling on the secret room. The halo around the secret room was still flowing, but she could clearly see the slender figure sitting cross-legged on a green lotus.
A soft sigh escaped from Chu Wanqing's mouth. The sigh spread slowly in the air, carrying a trace of barely perceptible melancholy, and gradually blended into the breeze between the vast world, disappearing...
Her heart was in turmoil, and all this was because of that young man.
Ever since she started practicing, her heart had been as still as still water, and had never experienced such fluctuations. This change made her a little confused, not knowing whether it was good or bad for her.
"Now, the matter here is over, and I have successfully broken through to the realm of Dou Sheng. I still have some old grudges to deal with, so I can't stay here for long." Chu Wanqing looked at Su Li and Ning Yuxi, and said casually,
"All matters concerning Yin Valley will be handed over to you two to take care of. You must prepare the reward that you promised to Xiao Ling carefully and do not neglect it in the slightest."
After she finished speaking, Chu Wanqing looked at the two women, nodded slightly, and without waiting for their response, she moved.
I saw her jade feet lightly stepping on the void. Every step she took was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, causing circles of ripples in the space that slowly spread around.
The breeze blew, blowing her white robe, making her look like a fairy descending to earth. The robe danced in the wind, outlining her charming body to the fullest, with her curvy figure looming.
In the blink of an eye, her figure turned into a green light and streaked across the sky like a meteor, leaving only a gradually dissipating light trace, and then disappeared from the sight of the three people, leaving only silence.
Ning Yuxi and Su Li stood there, looking at each other, with a hint of confusion in their eyes.
The breakthrough of the Douluo is a great joyous event for any sect, but the Grand Elder was so low-key that he did not even meet with the top leaders of Yin Valley and left in such a hurry.
"Master, what is this, the Grand Elder..." Ning Yuxi frowned, with a hint of confusion in her words.
Su Li shook her head slightly and continued, "Perhaps, as we thought, the Grand Elder has her own plans. She has recovered from her injuries and has made a breakthrough in her cultivation. She may be eager to resolve the grievances in the outside world and does not want to stay here any longer."
"Since the Grand Elder has given the order, let's just act according to her wishes." Su Li gathered his thoughts, turned to Ning Yuxi, and spoke calmly.
Qing Lin looked at the direction where Chu Wanqing left, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. This Supreme Elder of Yin Valley acted decisively and left as soon as he said he would, which was indeed surprising.
Moreover, her expression before gave me a strange feeling, as if she was worried about something.
However, Qinglin quickly came to her senses. For her, the condition of her own young master was the top priority.
Then, Qinglin leaped and floated lightly out of the secret room.
As he approached the secret room, Qing Lin could feel the hot breath more clearly. The intensity of this breath was not much different from before, but Qing Lin was born with strange pupils and was extremely sensitive. As soon as he approached, he easily noticed something strange.
In the extremely hot flame, there was a hint of cold air, the two blended together without any sense of abruptness, but instead there was a strange harmony. Not only that, there seemed to be the power of thunder hidden in it, but compared with the previous two, the power of thunder was much weaker.
"This extremely cold aura must be caused by Master's Bone Spirit Cold Fire. But what's with the extra thunder power? It's somewhat similar to the Nine Dragon Thunder Fire I've seen before, but its power is far less than that of the one used by the master of Burning Flame Valley. What is the origin of this thunder power? Forget it, I'll ask him after the young master comes out of retreat. As long as the young master is safe, nothing else matters."
Qinglin murmured softly to himself, his brows slightly furrowed, a hint of worry and doubt flashed in his eyes, but then slowly relaxed.
Qinglin carefully explored the area around the secret room again, and after confirming that Xiao Ling's breathing was stable and there was nothing abnormal, he did not stay there any longer.
Afterwards, Qinglin made a request to Suli and Ning Yuxi, hoping to arrange a room around the secret room in the palace as a resting place.
Su Li and Ning Yuxi naturally understood Qing Lin's concern for Xiao Ling, so they immediately agreed and personally selected a suitable room for Qing Lin.
There are indeed many rooms in this palace, and there are several near the secret room. Qinglin chose a relatively close room, so that if Xiao Ling makes any movement, she can be aware of it at the first time.
Although the room was not big, it was clean and tidy, and the decoration was quite elegant. A simple bed, a desk, a few chairs and a set of tea sets were provided, and the basic necessities of life were all ready.
Outside the window is a lush bamboo forest. When the wind blows, the bamboo leaves rustle, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Qinglin walked around the room, her eyes quickly scanning every corner, then she sat cross-legged on the bed, closed her eyes, and began to regulate her breathing and relax her mind.
The worries and anxieties of these days were like an invisible weight that made it hard for her to breathe, and fatigue spread to every corner of her body.
"Young Master's cultivation has improved again, and Sister Xiao Yixian has also gone out to look for her own opportunity," Qing Lin thought silently in his heart, "I can't fall behind either. I have to work harder and not let Young Master and the others leave me too far behind."
With such determination, Qinglin cheered himself up and prepared to start practicing.
However, her body had already been overloaded in these days. Not long after she started practicing, her eyelids began to twitch and her body seemed to be pulled by invisible ropes, slowly losing balance.
Finally, she could not resist the invasion of fatigue, her weak body fell limply on the bed, and she fell into a deep sleep.
The room was quiet, with only the sound of Qinglin's even breathing and the rustling of bamboo leaves swaying in the wind outside the window. Qinglin's cheeks were stained with a faint blush, and her brows were wrinkled from time to time in her dream, and then gradually relaxed, as if she was experiencing a wonderful dream.
Suddenly, several tiny snake-like monsters poked their heads out from Qinglin's cuffs and swam around flexibly.
These little guys seemed to sense their master's tiredness and started to get busy, dragging the quilt with their small bodies, covering Qinglin's body bit by bit.
Beside him, Rayquaza was lying on the bedside, staring blankly at Qinglin, his eyes flashing with a different and deeper light than usual. His usually indifferent eyes now revealed a rare tenderness.
Rayquaza just stared at Qinglin quietly, with a fleeting tenderness in his eyes. Suddenly, his body trembled slightly, and the deep light quickly dissipated, and his eyes returned to their usual state.
Rayquaza shook his head in confusion, not understanding how his big brother could share perception with him. However, he didn't mind this strange connection.
Rayquaza didn't think much about it. He curled up his body and began to rest, ready to relax.
Although Rayquaza could learn through telepathy that Xiao Ling was in very good condition, it was still a little worried these days and had not had a good rest.
In addition, it and Xiao Ling had shared perception for some reason, which had consumed a lot of its energy. Now it had to take a good rest.
……
At the same time, in the secret room where Xiao Ling was practicing in seclusion, the temperature had risen to an incredible height.
This completely sealed space was like a huge steam furnace, with surging heat waves and the air seemed to be boiling. In this scorching environment, even the space could not withstand it and was torn into deep black cracks. The scene was extremely horrifying.
In this secret room, even the cast iron floor began to melt and drip like wax. The molten iron flowed slowly in the quiet room, occasionally bubbling and bursting silently with a faint puffing sound.
In the center of the secret room, a green lotus platform is leisurely suspended, as if not bound by gravity, emitting star-like green light, adding a touch of mystery and wonder to this enclosed space.
On the pedestal, a man with a naked upper body sat in the middle. He was sitting cross-legged, and although his long hair was a little messy, it did not reduce his calm temperament at all.
His breathing was steady and powerful, and he seemed to be unconcerned about the heat that could instantly turn an ordinary person into ashes. The heat was like two tamed dragons of air, flowing easily into his body through his nostrils without encountering any resistance.
At this moment, Xiao Ling, who was sitting quietly on the Green Lotus Pedestal, slowly opened his eyes, sighed softly, and whispered to himself,
"It seems that this sudden loss of contact must have made those who care about me too worried. After I finish my retreat, I have to find some time to accompany Qinglin and make up for the blankness of this period. As for the matter of the ancient sky snake soul, it's time to deal with it, otherwise Qinglin will start to have wild thoughts again."
"However, the harvest this time is indeed very good, but the process is really too confusing."
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling's mind involuntarily emerged with the previous experience and the perfect figure closely connected with himself. The corners of his mouth curled up into a bitter smile and he shook his head slightly.
The scene was still vivid in his mind, as if it was right in front of him, making him feel both emotional and helpless.
At that time, Xiao Ling did not understand what kind of change Chu Wanqing had encountered. She suddenly became a completely different person. When Xiao Ling tried to get closer to her and figure out what was going on, he was also caught in the trap. As a result, the two of them had those unexpected things happen in this confused situation.
At that time, Xiao Ling's consciousness and reason were gradually weakening, and unexpected changes occurred in his body. The toxins that were originally sealed in his strange fire suddenly rebelled when they felt the call of the same energy emanating from Chu Wanqing's body. These toxins broke free from Xiao Ling's control and successfully escaped from his restraints while his consciousness was blurred.
Afterwards, these escaped toxins met with the energy of the same origin in Chu Wanqing's body and quickly merged. This fused energy caused the toxins to expand instantly, greatly increasing their power. While Xiao Ling and Chu Wanqing were both unconscious, these rapidly increasing toxins began to mercilessly invade their bodies.
If the poison was allowed to continue to wreak havoc, Xiao Ling might be able to save his life with his strong recovery ability. When he regained consciousness, it would not be impossible to recover to his original state by using some special means or even asking Yao Chen for help. But this process would undoubtedly cause him a lot of pain and torture.
However, Chu Wanqing's situation was very different. The toxins had already taken a dominant position in her body. If these toxins continued to invade her body while she was losing her mind, it would not take long for her to be completely corroded. The consequences of that were simply unimaginable.
Fortunately, at the most critical moment, the bone spirit cold fire given by Yao Chen, which lived deep in Xiao Ling's brow, suddenly moved. It seemed to sense Xiao Ling's crisis and appeared automatically, actively helping Xiao Ling and Chu Wanqing refine the toxins in their bodies, effectively alleviating their predicament.
At the same time, while Xiao Ling was unconscious, the Bone Spirit Cold Fire took the initiative to merge with the Five Spirit Flames in Xiao Ling's body. Driven by his subconscious, Xiao Ling unconsciously activated the Burning Technique and began to refine the power of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire.
During this process, the massive amount of toxins in Xiao Ling and Chu Wanqing's bodies, as well as the powerful medicinal power of the eighth-grade nine-color pill, were transformed into the purest energy under the joint refining of the Five Spirit Flame Sky Flame and the Bone Spirit Cold Fire. These energies were eventually absorbed by the two, greatly improving their cultivation.
Chapter 391 Four-Star Dou Zun
Despite this, the biggest beneficiary of this incident was Chu Wanqing, who used this energy to break through the Dou Sheng barrier in one fell swoop. In contrast, Xiao Ling only refined a small part of the pure energy.
After all, most of the toxins were originally concentrated in Chu Wanqing's body, and her body was the main target of the toxins. Xiao Ling's body had relatively few toxins, so the benefits he gained from this energy refining were naturally limited.
Moreover, as a low-star Dou Zun, Xiao Ling's speed in absorbing energy is nothing compared to Chu Wanqing, who has already reached the advanced semi-saint realm.
Faced with such a huge amount of energy, Xiao Ling was unable to absorb it all even if he wanted to. If he absorbed it carelessly and exceeded his limit, he would only suffer and die from the energy.
While absorbing the energy fed back by the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, Xiao Ling could only barely absorb a small portion of the pure energy refined by the strange fire, which had already reached his endurance limit. If he was greedy for more, these energies would become a burden, which would do more harm than good to Xiao Ling.
Chu Wanqing's situation was completely different. As a semi-saint level expert, her speed of absorbing energy far exceeded Xiao Ling's, many times faster.
Moreover, she is at the critical moment of breaking through to the Fighting Saint level, and her demand for energy is extremely huge.
