People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

Since Xiao Ling did not deliberately hide his figure, he just stood there.

Mu Qingluan on the martial arts square below seemed to have noticed the gaze that had been falling on her. She stopped what she was doing, slowly lowered the sword in her hand, tilted her head slightly, and looked in the direction of Xiao Ling.

You know, Mu Qingluan's true form is a celestial phoenix, so her eyesight is naturally excellent. After she saw Xiao Ling's face clearly, she was slightly stunned at first.

But this daze was only fleeting, and then, a brilliant smile bloomed on her beautiful face, like a blooming flower. She also waved vigorously at Xiao Ling, and her cheerful look was like a happy little bird.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly towards Mu Qingluan and waved gently as a greeting to her.

At this moment, the crisp "tapping" sound of high heels stepping on the ground came into Xiao Ling's ears, and the sound seemed to knock on his mind.

Xiao Ling came back to his senses, turned slightly to look back, and saw a graceful figure in red clothes walking slowly towards him not far away.

Her long, white and slender legs under the red skirt were faintly visible as she walked. Every step seemed to be stepping on people's hearts, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Master Xiao Ling, you are in such a good mood. You are standing here so early in the morning. Are you enjoying the scenery?" Medusa walked gracefully to Xiao Ling, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, showing an intoxicating smile, and asked softly.

Chapter 401 Medusa's inner thoughts

"That's true. Relaxing occasionally is a good way to adjust your cultivation." Xiao Ling nodded slightly and continued in a casual tone.

After a slight pause, he changed the subject, "Also, don't always call me 'Master' or 'Master'. Just call me by my name like before. You're so polite that it makes me feel like there's a gap between us."

Medusa nodded without comment, her face still as calm as water, but her slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed her. It seemed as if there was a ripple in her heart, with a hint of joy, but no one noticed.

Xiao Ling did not continue to dwell on this topic. He turned his gaze to Medusa with some concern in his eyes and asked, "Looking at your current state, you have already broken through the eighth level. I guess your life on Donglong Island should be pretty good, right?"

"Thanks to Zi Yan, I am indeed better taken care of in the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. Without the resources and help they provided, I would not be able to break through to the eighth level of cultivation now." Medusa nodded, her expression calm, and said without comment. Although there was indifference in her words, one could also hear her gratitude for this help.

"However, although this is a rare opportunity for me, you can't let go of your previous 'negligence' towards me so easily." Medusa then changed the subject, a faint arc appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she spoke with a somewhat teasing expression, her eyes revealing a little bit of complaint mixed with a different kind of intimacy.

"Okay, don't mention that anymore. I promise that I will prepare the twenty transformation pills as soon as possible." Xiao Ling sighed softly, rubbed his brows helplessly, then smiled and said.

He paused, a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes, "If I'm not mistaken, you are in a hurry to get these transformation pills for the members of the snake tribe, right?"

"You are right, that is indeed the case. After all, I am the queen of the snake people and I shoulder the fate of the entire snake people. I must consider more things for the development of the snake people. This is my responsibility and my mission." Medusa nodded solemnly, agreeing with Xiao Ling's idea.

"The Snake People are so lucky to have a leader like you. Unlike me, as for the Xiao family of the Gama Empire, I have no interest in worrying about it." Xiao Ling smiled lightly, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness, but also a bit of smile.

At this point, Xiao Ling's mind also came up with the Xiao family. He couldn't help but wonder secretly, I wonder how the Xiao family is doing now?

However, with the help he had given before, the family should be doing well. But Xiao Ling didn't want to worry about those things anymore. He had already left a lot of benefits to the Xiao family, and he had done his best for them.

Medusa shook her head and did not answer Xiao Ling's question. She knew in her heart that Xiao Ling's situation was completely different from hers.

She also learned a lot of information from Zi Yan. Along the way, the Xiao family basically did not give Xiao Ling much help. On the contrary, after Xiao Ling grew up, the Xiao family was able to develop rapidly because of him.

As for Medusa herself, she grew up in the Snake Tribe and became the real Queen Medusa under the careful training of the Snake Tribe. This feeling made her always put the development of the Snake Tribe first, which was completely different from the relationship between Xiao Ling and the Xiao family.

Medusa immediately changed the subject and asked, "Do you plan to return to the Gama Empire in the future? I have been away from the Serpent People for a long time, and I plan to go back in a while and leave some resources for the Serpent People."

Although Xiao Ling did not fulfill the agreement between them before, no matter what, now that they are together, it is appropriate to ask Xiao Ling what he thinks.

"Return to the Jia Ma Empire?" Xiao Ling gently stroked his chin, a trace of contemplation flashed in his eyes. After a moment, he slowly said: "I plan to go to the Beast Territory to look for some opportunities after the Alchemy Conference. After that, I will take Zi Yan back to the Northwest Continent to deal with some things. By then, you can also go back to the Snake Tribe to take a look."

Seriously speaking, Xiao Ling really had no plans to return to the Gama Empire, as he didn't have any emotional ties there.

However, after attending the Alchemy Conference, Xiao Ling already had a clear plan. He planned to go to the Beast Territory, first to help Qing Lin get the inheritance of the ancient sky snake, and then go to the Skeleton Mountain Range to explore the Dou Sheng ruins that had not yet been opened.

The Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit in the Fighting Saint Ruins is a great opportunity for Zi Yan, and Xiao Ling must help Zi Yan get it.

As for waiting for the Dou Sheng ruins to open automatically, Xiao Ling had no such plan. How could Xiao Ling be willing to share it with others if he could eat it all by himself? Anyway, with Yao Chen, a three-star Dou Sheng, opening a space that the Dou Sheng had created during his lifetime was not an easy task.

After that, Xiao Ling planned to take Zi Yan back to the northwest continent to meet Zhu Kun in the underground magma world. Zhu Kun had lived for tens of thousands of years and had a wide range of knowledge, so he might know a lot of valuable information.

Perhaps, Zhu Kun also knew some information about the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. If Zi Yan could get Zhu Kun's guidance, the process of absorbing the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit would definitely be smoother and avoid major setbacks.

"I had planned to go back to the snake tribe when I have time. I am now an eighth-level monster, so a round trip is not a difficult thing for me, and it won't take too much time."

"However, since you said you want to take Zi Yan back to the Northwest Continent, I may have to change my plan. Zi Yan can't live without a reliable person to take care of her, so I'd better stay with her. I won't go back for now, and when the time comes, I'll go with you guys."

Medusa spoke with a relaxed tone in her voice, but her eyes glanced at Xiao Ling inadvertently, and her fingers gently fiddled with the corner of her clothes.

The tips of her ears turned slightly red, which seemed to inadvertently reveal her little thoughts. She said it was for Zi Yan, but in fact she just wanted to find a reason to stay with Xiao Ling.

However, Xiao Ling seemed to be unaware of Medusa's subtle actions. He simply nodded calmly and said with a smile: "Since you have this plan, let's go together. We are companions, and it is only natural for us to travel together and take care of each other."

"Companions..." Medusa murmured to herself, with a very strange feeling surging in her heart.

"Hey, Xiao Ling, Sister Medusa, I think I heard my name just now. Were you two talking about me behind my back?"

At this moment, a cute girl's voice, as clear as a silver bell, suddenly came from behind. The voice was a little doubtful and a little playful.

Xiao Ling and Medusa were chatting, and when they heard the voice, their conversation came to an abrupt halt. They stopped what they were doing at the same time, and then in tacit understanding, they slowly looked back, trying to find the source of the voice.

But the void was rippled slightly, just like a small stone was thrown into a calm lake. Then, Zi Yan's petite figure jumped out from the void.

She was like a young swallow returning to its nest, with a face full of joy and intimacy, and instantly threw herself into Xiao Ling's arms.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling showed a helpless smile on his face. He stretched out his arms and hugged Zi Yan firmly.

"Tsk tsk, isn't this Miss Zi Yan? The sun is rising from the west today? You are such a lazy bug, why are you up at this time? Normally, you would still be sleeping soundly in bed, dreaming sweet dreams."

Seeing Zi Yan's silly look, Xiao Ling couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, and joked with a bit of joking. As he spoke, he gently scratched Zi Yan's nose in a doting manner.

"Don't underestimate me. I'm already an eighth-rank magical beast and my strength has greatly increased. How could I still be as sleepy as before? Humph, I'm very diligent!" Zi Yan slapped Xiao Ling's big hand that was playing tricks on her face away in annoyance. She said with a snort, her cheeks slightly puffed up.

It looked exactly like an annoyed little female dragon, and its ferocious look revealed a bit of cuteness and playfulness.

Immediately, Zi Yan twisted her body in Xiao Ling's arms and asked coquettishly, "Hey, you guys haven't answered my question just now, are you talking about me secretly? I heard you mention my name."

Seeing Zi Yan twisting restlessly in his arms, feeling the soft touch, Xiao Ling shook his head helplessly, secretly criticizing in his heart: This little girl really has no sense of propriety. If Zi Yan wasn't still so young, Xiao Ling would have lost control long ago.

"It's nothing serious. I just wanted to take you to the Beast Territory after the Alchemy Conference. I'll find some good food for you and make sure you enjoy it. It will definitely be of great benefit to you." Xiao Ling didn't care about Zi Yan's little actions anymore and answered casually.

"Hey, what's so fun about the Beast Territory? What's the point of going there? I don't want to go! You, why don't you take me somewhere else later? I came straight to you this time. I haven't had a good time in Zhongzhou yet..."

When Zi Yan heard that Xiao Ling was going to take her to the Beast Domain, she pouted her lips immediately, full of displeasure. She had just escaped from the Beast Domain not long ago, and she was not very interested in that place. When she thought about going back again, her head shook like a rattle.

Hearing Zi Yan's low muttering and seeing her unhappy expression, Medusa beside her couldn't help but smile slightly.

However, when her eyes fell on the intimate appearance of Zi Yan and Xiao Ling, she inexplicably felt a trace of displeasure in her heart, as if there was a wisp of smoke lingering in her heart, which brought out a bit of discomfort.

After noticing this subtle emotion, Medusa sighed helplessly, and a hint of bitterness quietly spread in her heart.

"Alas, it's all because the senior from the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan used too blunt and direct methods when fusing the souls, which left such a difficult sequelae. It's really troubling."

"I'm not going to the Beast Territory to hang out and have fun, I have serious business to attend to. You, little girl, are only thinking about playing. I'm really afraid that one day you'll play so hard that you won't even realize it." Xiao Ling complained with a smile, raised his hand and rubbed Zi Yan's purple hair, his face full of helplessness.

"Hehe, since you, Xiao Ling, are determined to go, then I will be merciful and reluctantly accompany you on this trip." Zi Yan raised her chin slightly and said with a pout.

Seeing Zi Yan's pretentious look, Xiao Ling secretly complained in his heart, I'm going to find a great opportunity for you, why are you still acting so reluctantly? Oh, forget it, this is my little female dragon, I'll just spoil her.

"Okay, I have to go see the Pavilion Master to discuss some matters, and then I need to go out for a while. You guys just focus on your own things." Xiao Ling said as he gently put Zi Yan down from his arms, reached out and pinched her pink face, and then looked at Medusa and Zi Yan and said.

Xiao Ling later planned to give the ancient immortal essence seed he extracted last night to Feng Xian and Yao Chen for careful cultivation.

With this ancient Xianyuan seed, and the fact that the Palm of Heaven Bottle is now in Yao Chen's hands, with the help of the Palm of Heaven Bottle's ripening ability, an Xianyuan fruit tree will surely be born soon.

When the fruit trees grow up and produce some ancient immortal fruits, the Dou Zong-level backbone forces in Xingyun Pavilion will be able to quickly improve their cultivation, and the overall strength of Xingyun Pavilion will also be taken to a higher level.

After dealing with the matter of the ancient immortal seeds, Xiao Ling planned to go to the depths of the Tianxin Mountains, where he would release the afterimage left by the Azure Dragon King and try to see if he could learn the cultivation method of "Blue Sky Transformation into Dragon Art". This was the most critical and important thing at the moment.

"Oh, why are you going out again? You just returned to Xingyun Pavilion not long ago! You must take me with you when you go out, and you are not allowed to leave me in Xingyun Pavilion!" When Zi Yan heard that Xiao Ling was leaving, her mouth immediately pouted, and she hurriedly grabbed Xiao Ling's hand and shook it.

Medusa next to him also looked at Xiao Ling with a puzzled look on her face. She was wondering why he wanted to go out again just after he came back.

"What are you thinking about in your little head? I'm not going on a long trip again. I'm just going to the depths of the Tianxing Mountains to deal with some things. I'll be back soon. You finally came to see me, how can I not accompany you?"

Xiao Ling raised the corner of his mouth, gently squeezed the smooth little hand in his hand, and gently rubbed Zi Yan's little head, saying with full doting.

"So that's how it is. Humph, you still have some conscience." Zi Yan felt happy when she heard Xiao Ling say that he would always be with her, but she still pretended to be indifferent.

Xiao Ling ignored Zi Yan, the little tsundere, and instead nodded slightly to Medusa. Then he flashed and disappeared in an instant.

……

After separating from Zi Yan and the others, Xiao Ling did not delay at all. He immediately flashed and arrived at the top floor of the Xingyun Pavilion's main hall in the blink of an eye.

Looking up, Yao Chen and Feng Xian were sitting opposite each other calmly, playing chess pieces, looking very relaxed and at ease. Seeing this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but laugh and cry, secretly complaining in his heart, have these two already started the retirement mode?

Seeing Xiao Ling coming suddenly, Yao Chen stopped what he was doing, and asked with a bit of curiosity in his eyes: "Xiao Ling, what is the matter with you coming to see me? Could it be that you want to study alchemy? But isn't it a little early at this time?"

Feng Xian, who was standing by, heard this and cast an inquiring look.

Xiao Ling did not waste any time and immediately told them everything about the ancient Xianyuan species.

When talking about the origin of this ancient species, Xiao Ling just vaguely said that it was an accidental opportunity obtained during this trip, but did not reveal more details.

Yao Chen and Feng Xian naturally understood what he meant and did not ask any more questions about the origin of the seeds. Their eyes were immediately attracted by what Xiao Ling took out.

I saw a strange seed emitting a green halo floating above Xiao Ling's palm. Strands of vitality were continuously emanating from the seed, and there seemed to be a spiritual charm flowing through it, making people know at a glance that this thing was definitely not an ordinary item.

"Xiao Ling, are you serious? Can a fruit tree grown from such an inconspicuous little seed really have such magical effects?" Feng Xian said as he pointed at the ancient fairy seed, his face full of doubt, and turned to ask Xiao Ling.

"This seed is indeed quite mysterious. I can sense that even though it is still a seed, it has already begun to absorb the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth. Maybe it really has the effect that Xiao Ling said before."

Yao Chen himself is very powerful, and as a senior alchemist, his perception is naturally far superior to Feng Xian, so he could see some clues at a glance.

Immediately, Yao Chen gently raised his hand, and the ancient seed of immortal essence slowly fell into his palm, and then he steadily put it into the ring.

Yao Chen then calmly said, "I will carefully cultivate this seed. When it grows up, we will know its efficacy after a try."

"In that case, I won't disturb your leisure time, Mr. Yao." Seeing that everything had been explained, Xiao Ling planned to leave.

However, Yao Chen kept Xiao Ling at this time and said, "Since you are here, you don't have to make another trip later. It's a good opportunity for you to learn alchemy from me. Such a long time has passed, and I don't know if you have made any progress in alchemy."

After hearing this, Xiao Ling thought that this proposal was feasible. After all, the afterimage of the Azure Dragon King was in his hands, and he could meet him anytime. It would be better to learn the alchemy technique first, and then go to see him after learning it, and there would be no delay.

Afterwards, Yao Chen no longer cared about Feng Xian who was still there, and took Xiao Ling away directly, preparing to teach Xiao Ling some knowledge and experience of alchemy.

After all, Yao Chen was a great master of alchemy who was able to refine ninth-grade elixirs. Even though Xiao Ling's alchemy skills had now reached the level of being able to refine eighth-grade, seven-color elixirs, he still absorbed many valuable points of knowledge from Yao Chen's careful teaching, and he really benefited a lot.

Yao Chen was also extremely pleased with Xiao Ling's progress in alchemy. Xiao Ling had even managed to refine an eighth-grade, seven-color elixir, and with the Spirit Ascension technique, he could even refine an eighth-grade, nine-color elixir. This proved that Yao Chen's careful instruction had not been in vain. This truly filled Yao Chen with joy, as he felt he had a successor.

Chapter 402 Aokiji Appears

In the core area of ​​Tianxing Mountain Range, there is an empty valley. The surrounding rocks are steep and cold, like silent giant beasts. In the valley, there are jagged rocks, some lying and some standing, all of which are traces of thousands of years of wind and rain erosion.

There is not a single sound of life here, no birds circling, no animals running, and even no insects chirping.

When the wind blows, the only sound is the slight rustling of sand and stones, like a faint sigh from the valley.

The atmosphere of loneliness permeates like thick fog; the sunshine pours down, but it cannot dispel the silence that penetrates deep into the bone marrow. Time seems to have frozen here, leaving only endless emptiness and desolation. The moment one steps in, one is enveloped by the deep loneliness.
