"Hehe, it is my honor to receive personal guidance from you, an eighth-grade top alchemist. Such an opportunity is something many people dream of but cannot obtain." Cao Ying laughed like a silver bell, her voice charming and soft. As she spoke, she unconsciously moved closer to Xiao Ling, almost leaning into his arms, the intimacy and dependence were self-evident.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no one around at the moment, if this scene was seen by Cao Ying's many secret admirers, they would probably be so shocked that their jaws would drop and their eyes would pop out of jealousy.
Xiao Ling witnessed all this and could only helplessly curl up the corners of his mouth and reveal a bitter smile. Facing Cao Ying's actions, how could he not understand the little calculations in her mind.
However, Xiao Ling had just experienced a fierce duel with a Dou Sheng last night, and he still had to deal with the Three Thousand Flames. Xiao Ling also hadn't had time to obtain Zi Yan's dragon seal. At this moment, he really didn't have too much thought in this regard.
He thought to himself that he would use some tricks to deal with Cao Ying and collect some "interest". As for the final "luxury package", he decided to wait for a more appropriate time to consider enjoying it.
Cao Ying gently held Xiao Ling's hand, gave Dan Chen a polite farewell look, and then led Xiao Ling through the corridor towards their destination. Her steps were light, as if every step was full of anticipation.
Although Dan Chen longed to build a closer relationship with Xiao Ling, she also knew that this was not the right time. So, she could only stand there quietly, bidding farewell to the two of them with her eyes until they disappeared from her sight.
Xiao Ling and Cao Ying walked along the winding corridors, passed through the well-arranged buildings in the Dan Tower, and finally came to the door of a rather hidden room.
This room was the private place where Cao Ying and Xiao Ling had an in-depth communication last time in Dan Tower.
The door opened slightly, as if it was a portal to another world, ushering the two into a peaceful space that only they knew.
As soon as the door was closed, Cao Ying threw herself into Xiao Ling's arms like a bird returning to its nest.
She buried her pretty face in Xiao Ling's chest and took a deep breath, as if she wanted to inhale all of Xiao Ling's reassuring breath into her lungs.
"After such a long time, I can finally be alone with you." Cao Ying raised her face slightly, her eyes full of joy and attachment, "I didn't get enough rest last night."
Her voice was soft, with a hint of coquettishness, as if she was telling Xiao Ling how much she missed him.
Xiao Ling gently stretched out one hand and wrapped it around Cao Ying's slender waist, while the other hand gently wandered through her hair that fell like a waterfall, his fingertips seemed to be touching the softest silk.
The corners of his mouth curled up into a helpless smile, and his voice was filled with a bit of pampering and teasing: "Now you see it, don't you? You little devil, do you have any other intentions? Do you want to do something to me?"
"Since you have compared me to a fairy, then of course I will suck away all your essence." Cao Ying's voice was as soft as orchid, and every word seemed to carry a breath of temptation, slowly flowing out from her small cherry lips.
Her eyes were as bright as autumn water, and her look was charming. She met Xiao Ling's gaze without any hesitation, as if she wanted to absorb everything about him in that affectionate gaze.
Then, Cao Ying's body moved closer to Xiao Ling. Her movements were bold and seductive. She raised her head slightly, tilted her head slightly, and slowly approached Xiao Ling's face.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling also responded to the intimacy, gently lowered his head, and tenderly captured the tempting softness between those lips.
This was not the first time that the two had been so close, their cooperation was impeccable, and they were both extremely devoted to each other. Cao Ying released all the pain of longing that had accumulated over the past few days, as if she wanted to integrate her entire existence into Xiao Ling's arms, and that desire almost swallowed her up.
"Okay, now you should adjust yourself." Xiao Ling sat on the couch, his arms gently wrapped around Cao Ying's beautiful waist, his fingers gently stroking the delicate skin under his palms, his tone full of concern and tenderness, "Your body has not fully recovered yet, I can't bear to let you overwork now."
Cao Ying sat on Xiao Ling's legs, staring into his sincere eyes, and asked with concern: "Are you really not uncomfortable? In fact, I'm fine now."
"Haha, how could I bear to torture you like this for those trivial matters." Xiao Ling chuckled and kissed Cao Ying lightly on her smooth forehead.
Then, he put his lips close to her ear and gently bit her earlobe, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "But don't be impatient, when I subdue the Three Thousand Flames, I will naturally 'reward' your patience. When the time comes, you must wash off your makeup and wait for this young master's favor."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ling's hand gently pinched Cao Ying's waist. Then, his eyes focused, his mind concentrated, and he instantly activated the power of space.
In a subtle spatial fluctuation, his figure flickered like a phantom, and in a flash, he disappeared from the room without a trace.
Cao Ying was left alone, sitting powerlessly on the soft bed, her eyes filled with astonishment and helplessness.
At this moment, the room was silent, with only her soft breathing echoing softly, and the warm atmosphere they had just felt still lingering in the air.
Cao Ying gently stroked her hot cheeks, the blush was as gorgeous as the sunset.
She could feel Xiao Ling's touch still on her body, and those subtle traces seemed to remind her of the tenderness just now.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. She murmured, a hint of coquettishness and attachment in her voice, "This bad guy just left without a word. It really makes me angry and hateful. But, he was willing to endure the discomfort himself just to save me from any grievance. Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, I really love you so much that I can't help myself..."
Chapter 480 Dragon Seal
After a short run, it didn't take much time for Xiao Ling to return to the residence where he was staying in Shengdan City.
At this moment, the courtyard was empty and silent. Qing Lin was secluded in his room, concentrating on his cultivation.
As for the aura of Medusa and Zi Yan, it did not permeate the courtyard. Xiao Ling thought about it for a moment and guessed that they must have taken advantage of their free time to stroll in the streets of Shengdan City.
After all, the holding of the Dan Conference has brought unprecedented popularity to Shengdan City, making this already prosperous and bustling city once again full of greater vitality.
Although the Dan Conference has ended, the crowds have not completely dispersed. While the heat is still lingering, countless business opportunities have naturally emerged in Shengdan City.
Many people are ambitious and eager to catch the last wave of wealth at the end of this feast.
Usually, various trade fairs will spring up like mushrooms after a rain in the period just after the Dan Fair ends.
Every corner of Shengdan City is full of business opportunities. Strong men at the Dou Zong and Dou Zun levels have gathered here. They have taken out treasures they have collected for many years, hoping to exchange them for items that can help them.
During this period, even the Alchemy Association itself will lead a series of auctions in Shengdan City. The scale of these auctions is far beyond the auction in Black Seal City in the Black Horn Region.
At these auctions, many rare natural treasures from the outside world will naturally be on display. Even eighth-grade elixirs that are usually hard to find may appear here.
Xiao Ling was quite interested in this kind of auction. If he had some free time later, he could go there and take a look. Perhaps he would come across some rare items unexpectedly.
Then, Xiao Ling gathered his mind and slowly moved his gaze towards the secret room where he had been in seclusion before. In it, a powerful energy wave was quietly spreading, as if it contained endless power.
However, this wave was firmly blocked by a carefully arranged formation, preventing it from causing any significant interference to the surrounding environment.
The clever use of the formation made it so that although the energy fluctuations were strong, they were always under control, just like a dragon trapped in a dense net.
"Tsk tsk, it seems that Ah Diao has already taken the Reincarnation Soul-Shaping Pill. I wonder how he is doing now." Xiao Ling touched his chin lightly, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and he chuckled.
Then, without any hesitation, he took firm steps and walked towards the room full of energy fluctuations.
Passing through the carefully constructed array of defenses, Xiao Ling stepped lightly into the room. He pushed the door lightly, and it opened. His eyes swept across the wide space inside.
Instantly, his sight was involuntarily fixed on the strange scene in the center of the hall. There, a black and white energy light cocoon was floating quietly in the air, emitting an eye-catching brilliance, as if it was the most dazzling pearl in the room.
On the light cocoon, there were densely crisscrossed lines, just like the blood vessels in the human body, both complex and orderly. These lines intertwined to form a mysterious pattern on the surface of the light cocoon, and each line seemed to contain an indescribable power.
The light cocoon changes between light and dark, and as it flickers, it seems as if it is breathing, engaging in a silent communication with the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth.
With each flicker of the light cocoon, the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to be attracted by a mysterious force and gathered towards the light cocoon. This influx of energy was like a river flowing into the sea, making the light cocoon exude a more vast and majestic aura, and its presence was so strong that it could not be ignored.
During this process, one can clearly feel that the slowly recovering breath is exactly the transformation that the little mink is going through.
Every pulse of the light cocoon seems to announce a new life. The constantly influx of energy not only enhances the brilliance of the light cocoon, but also subtly reshapes the vitality inside.
The accumulation and change of this power undoubtedly indicates that Xiao Diao is about to embark on a new path of growth.
After careful sensing, the aura of life and death intertwined and flowed above the black and white light cocoon, as if interpreting the mystery of reincarnation and rebirth of life. This aura was both mysterious and profound, and one could not help but feel sincere awe for the powerful force and mysterious changes contained in it.
"This commotion is so big. If he can really be resurrected directly, not to mention breaking through to the Wheel-Turning Realm in one fell swoop, he should at least recover to his peak state, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of my precious eighth-grade nine-color elixir?" Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, with an expectant gleam in his eyes. He whispered to himself, and his words revealed his deep expectation for the result.
At this moment, the figure of the Ancestral Stone Spirit slowly floated out from the Ancestral Stone next to the light cocoon. Its eyes swept lightly over Xiao Ling, and then it slowly spoke with a hint of appreciation in its tone:
"You are right. The effect of the elixir you refined this time is indeed extraordinary. Its efficacy has surpassed the so-called Wheel of Life and Death elixir. This eighth-grade nine-color elixir not only contains magnificent pure energy, but also contains amazing efficacy."
"Perhaps, this Heavenly Demon Marten will take this opportunity to successfully break through the constraints of the Wheel-turning Realm. However, given the rules between heaven and earth and the special nature of the elixir energy, he should be able to directly break through to the Semi-Saint Realm above your Dou Qi Continent."
"Tsk tsk, the semi-saint realm. Originally, under the cultivation method of Tianxuan Continent, he already had a unique grasp of the energy of life and death. Now that he has broken through to the semi-saint realm, his control over the power of space will naturally be more in-depth and comprehensive." Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he chuckled and said, "This guy is really lucky this time. With these methods, he will probably be hard to find an opponent even in a battle of the same level."
"The art of refining medicine is indeed an outstanding skill in your continent. Its mystery and profoundness are far beyond the comparison of the elixirs on the Profound Sky Continent."
The spirit of the ancestral stone nodded slightly and spoke in a calm tone. Between his words, he revealed his high praise for Xiao Ling's alchemy skills, and also his deep respect for the unique technology of the Douqi Continent.
It knows very well that this kind of medicine refining technique is not only the ultimate expression of the extraction of medicinal materials, but also the crystallization of the wisdom and efforts of countless practitioners on this continent over a long period of time. Such an achievement is undoubtedly admirable.
"Haha, everyone has their own strengths. In this vast world, there are all kinds of things, and everyone's skills are naturally different." Xiao Ling smiled softly, revealing a kind of humility and calmness in his tone. Then he changed the subject with a hint of concern in his tone.
"Yan, please look after this guy. I want to know how long it will take for Xiao Diao to fully recover from his current condition. I don't plan to stay in Shengdan City for long. If it takes a year or two, it will probably cause me a lot of inconvenience."
"Don't worry, he is in excellent condition now and is expected to be fully resurrected within two months. Aren't you planning to subdue the Three Thousand Flames next? There shouldn't be any delay during this period of time." The Spirit of the Ancestral Stone responded calmly.
"Moreover, the destiny talisman that I carefully prepared for you is now nearing completion. Soon, you will be able to officially embark on the path of a talisman master and explore the deeper and more advanced ways of using your spiritual power."
"Is it finally about to be accomplished? I have been looking forward to this natal talisman for a long time." Xiao Ling's eyes flashed with a light, and his tone could not hide his excitement, he said excitedly.
"If the Destiny Talisman I prepared for you this time had not been so special, and I had to focus on recovering from my own injuries, I wouldn't have wasted these days. But compared to the rewards you will receive, all this waiting is worth it."
The spirit of the ancestral stone shook its head gently and said in a calm tone, "Okay, now you can go and handle your own affairs. As for the situation of the Heavenly Demon Marten, I will continue to keep an eye on it for you."
"I understand, Yan. I'll leave the matters here to you." Xiao Ling nodded slightly, a smile on his lips. Then, without staying here for long, he turned around and walked out of the secret room.
As Xiao Ling's figure disappeared at the door of the secret room, the spirit of the ancestral stone slowly floated back to the depths of the ancestral stone, and the secret room returned to deep tranquility again.
At this moment, the only sound was the subtle flickering of the black and white light cocoon in the center, which seemed to be silently telling of the upcoming transformation, and the entire space was immersed in this expectation and mysterious ending...
……
Back in his room, Xiao Ling's exhausted body seemed to have found a home, and he collapsed directly on the soft mattress. He looked up at the ceiling, took a deep breath, and felt the rise and fall of his chest.
In his mind, every detail of the past few days replayed like a movie. Those unexpected events made him curl his lips slightly and whisper to himself, "During this period of time, many unexpected things have indeed happened. This trip was worthwhile."
He closed his eyes, letting his thoughts drift away, and continued to mutter: "However, this trip to Shengdan City will be a perfect ending once the last three thousand flames are subdued."
At this moment, Xiao Ling twitched his nostrils slightly, and a faint and elegant fragrance came to his nose.
His eyes involuntarily followed the direction of the fragrance and finally landed on the table and chairs beside him.
There, a piece of clothing was carefully folded and neatly placed. At the waist of the clothing, a delicate scent sachet was gently hanging, and the fragrance wafting from it made people happy and intoxicated.
The fragrance that Xiao Ling smelled before also came from this very small sachet.
"When did you buy this piece of clothing? I don't remember having such a piece of clothing." Xiao Ling sat up slowly and muttered to himself, revealing a bit of confusion in his words. As he spoke, he slowly paced to the wooden table.
Xiao Ling walked to the mirror, reached out and gently lifted the collar, spreading out the clothes completely.
This is a fiery red dress. The red is like a burning flame, hot and dazzling. The main body of the dress presents a deep fiery red tone, dotted with some black fabric, adding a touch of calmness to this warm color.
The golden lines are like flowing flames, perfectly interwoven on the slight wrinkles of the clothes, exuding a sense of dignity that is difficult to ignore.
When putting on this piece of clothing, Xiao Ling could feel a faint warmth emanating from the fabric, as if this piece of clothing had its own life and was resonating with the breath in his body.
At the same time, the fire energy between heaven and earth seemed to be attracted by this piece of clothing and slowly gathered inside it, making the fire energy in Xiao Ling's body slightly more active.
Xiao Ling reached into the pocket of the clothes and took out a sealed envelope. He looked up and saw the words "Tang Huo'er" clearly written on the envelope. It was obvious who prepared the clothes.
"Tsk tsk, this little girl is really thoughtful." Xiao Ling's fingers gently slid across the texture of the clothes, and every inch of the fabric seemed to be telling of the care from afar. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head slightly and muttered to himself.
This dress is not just a piece of cloth, it is a symbol of emotion, a symbol of Tang Huoer's concern and longing for him. A warm current surged in Xiao Ling's heart, and he knew very well how precious this friendship was.
Although she had some exchanges with Tang Huoer before, the girl seemed quite shy and did not stay in Shengdan City for long.
As soon as the alchemy meeting ended, after having dinner with Xiao Ling and others, she hurriedly returned to Fen Yan Valley with several elders of Fen Yan Valley, leaving only some deacons of Fen Yan Valley in Shengdan City to continue to be responsible for the collection of resources.
Xiao couldn't help but think to himself that it seemed that in the near future, he would need to find a suitable opportunity to set out on the journey to Fenyan Valley again to draw a conclusion to the relationship between the two.
……
“Hehe, Xiao Ling, if you want to subdue the Three Thousand Flames, you will have to rely on my help.
In the pavilion in the courtyard, Zi Yan sat leisurely on the swing, swinging gently.
