Chapter 360: Picking the Stars: Xiao Ling, You Really Deserve to Die!
"Yao Lao, hold on!"
Xiao Ling's face was solemn. He looked at the slowly moving flesh and blood on the body and suddenly shouted in a low voice. With his voice, the gorgeous flames wrapped around the skeleton immediately became hotter and fiercer.
Under the burning of this flame, the newly formed flesh and blood were burned to ashes in the blink of an eye. This speed was much faster than before.
But every time the ashes dispersed, a strange energy would spread again, and the growth rate of flesh and blood was getting faster and faster.
In the end, only the granulation could be seen wriggling rapidly, and a bloody human figure quickly took shape.
The burning and growth process lasted for nearly a week. The flame was like a careful craftsman, and finally carved the skin tissue on the flesh and blood perfectly.
As the skin grew little by little, the skeleton that was originally lying on the stone platform was now lifelike and completely turned into the shape of a person. Next, it was time to wait for Yao Lao to merge perfectly with this body.
Once completed, the Medicine Master who had left countless legends on the Douqi Continent will truly realize his...
Rebirth from the ashes, breaking the venerable to become a saint!
That moment will surely shock the entire continent.
…
At the same time, in a deep valley in Zhongzhou, a huge black palace lies quietly there, like a sleeping ancient beast, emitting terrifying energy fluctuations that make people palpitate.
Walking into this huge black palace, you can see black stone pillars towering into the sky, adding a touch of weird atmosphere to the entire space.
These stone pillars are wrapped with countless chains, and the end of each chain is connected to a light ball. If you look closely, those light balls actually seal a soul body with closed eyes!
These black chains are tightly wrapped around the necks of the soul bodies, as if absorbing their soul essence.
Faintly, it seems that some invisible energy slowly flows out from the inside of the soul body along the chains and is absorbed by some power in the palace.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew by, as if it was some kind of omen, and then a black figure appeared silently in the hall.
As soon as his figure appeared, he quickly knelt on one knee in front of a black stone pillar standing in the center of the hall, and reported in a low and hurried voice:
"Report to the Heavenly Venerable, according to our latest news, Xiao Ling has left Yecheng. The last area he appeared was outside the Tianxing Mountains in the southern region of Zhongzhou, and then he disappeared without a trace."
His voice echoed in the empty hall, with a hint of imperceptible tension.
As this voice echoed in the hall, an old man in a black robe on the black stone pillar suddenly opened his eyes, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.
He snorted, with obvious disdain in his tone: "What a bunch of useless things! It's so difficult for you to follow a person, and now you even lost the person. This is simply a shame for the Soul Palace."
Zhaixing Old Ghost never thought that the simple task originally assigned by his superiors has not been completed until now. He felt helpless. This matter should have been easily resolved, but it was delayed until now, which made him lose face.
Qin Tian and Qing Hai were really something. It would have been fine if they failed, but none of them could escape. I really don’t know how they got to the position of Zun Lao, but he was severely reprimanded by the people above.
“Xiao Ling, you really deserve to die!”
Thinking of this, Zhaixing Old Ghost’s eyes became sharper. The powerful aura in his body began to spread unconsciously, as if even the surrounding air was affected by this power and became a little sticky, as if you only needed to take a light breath to feel the oppression of this power.
Zhaixing Old Ghost’s momentum was like a violent storm, causing the Soul Hall guardian who was half-kneeling below to tremble under his momentum. His dissatisfaction with Zhaixing Tianzun had reached the extreme, and he wanted to curse loudly.
"This old man, Xiao Ling is not a good person to begin with. He has a four-star Dou Zun strongman protecting him. Why don't you catch him yourself?"
"If you had dealt with Xiao Ling in person, there wouldn't have been so many troubles?"
As for tracking Xiao Ling, it is even more of a technical job. Xiao Ling is a genuine eighth-grade alchemist. If he is not careful, how can he not be discovered?
If it weren't for the fact that the Soul Palace's guardians have always been cautious and always waited until Xiao Ling left a city before inquiring about him, they would have been discovered by Xiao Ling long ago.
Although Xiao Ling himself has not reached the Dou Zun realm, with the help of secret methods, he can compete with Dou Zun strongmen for a short time.
He also has a Dou Zun-level bodyguard. The last time the two elders went to catch him, they not only failed to catch him, but also got themselves involved.
It is simply a foolish dream to catch Xiao Ling without the help of a Tianzun-level big man.
As for the Soul Palace's guardians, they are still only Dou Zong-level. If Xiao Ling finds their traces, it will be a big trouble.
The grudge between Soul Palace and Xiao Ling cannot be explained in one or two sentences. If they are really discovered by Xiao Ling, they may not even know how they died.
The momentum of the old ghost Zhaixing came and went quickly, and soon it dissipated like the receding tide. His old and steady voice echoed in the hall again:
"Continue to monitor Xiao Ling's every move, and report to me immediately if you find him leaving. Next time, I will take action myself."
"Yes!"
The Soul Palace Protector answered quickly and respectfully, and then his body swayed and disappeared into the shadow of the hall like a puff of smoke.
"Jie Jie, in the southern region of Zhongzhou, in the Tianxing Mountains, I would like to know what is the connection between Xiao Ling and the Xingyun Pavilion established by Yao Chen. However, Xiao Ling, Yao Chen, you guys will fall into the trap sooner or later. The palm of our soul palace..."
…
In the dim light of the secret room, Xiao Ling stared at the white-haired figure with eyes closed in the flames. When everything was calm and nothing unusual occurred, his tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
Now that the body has been successfully refined, Xiao Ling's participation is no longer needed in the next work. As long as Yao Lao can successfully integrate with this new body, he can truly be reborn.
Xiao Ling wiped the sweat from his forehead. The continuous refining work these days was a huge challenge for him, and he was under great pressure both physically and mentally.
Fortunately, what Xiao Ling didn't lack most was the elixir to restore his fighting spirit. His endurance was quite amazing, which allowed him to persevere until the end.
After stretching, Xiao Ling stood up and said softly, "Yao Lao, the rest is all up to you..."
"Um……"
Immediately, Xiao Ling stood up and walked softly towards the exit of the secret room. It would take a long time for Yao Lao to be truly resurrected. Then it was time for him to start retreating to break through Douzun...
…
When Xiao Ling pushed open the stone door of the secret room, a breath of fresh air hit his face, and he immediately realized that he was standing in a hidden valley.
The entrance to the secret room is cleverly hidden in the cave and is difficult to find without looking carefully.
His gaze naturally extended forward, and he saw Lord Feng sitting by the clear stream, as if he was integrated with the surrounding nature, immersed in his practice.
At this moment, Lord Feng seemed to sense Xiao Ling's appearance. His eyes that were originally closed suddenly opened, his eyes were like lightning, and he quickly locked onto the source of the movement.
When Master Feng saw clearly that it was Xiao Ling, his tense expression gradually relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Haha, Xiao Ling, you're finally out! I've been guarding the secret room for more than a month, but I'm so worried." There was a trace of relaxation in Feng Zunzong's voice, and his figure was like a gentle breeze. Feng appeared silently in front of Xiao Ling. Before Xiao Ling could react, Master Feng couldn't wait to ask a series of questions: "How is the medicine dust? Was the refining successful? Is everything going well? Did you encounter any trouble?"
Xiao Ling had been activating the strange fire for the past month, and he was very tired mentally. Before he had time to relax, he was confused by the barrage of questions from Master Feng.
Finally, Xiao Ling came to his senses, smiled helplessly, and then told Master Feng the good news.
"Feng Lao, don't worry, don't worry. Yao Lao is in very good condition now, and the refining of the new body is also going smoothly. When Yao Lao and that body are completely integrated, he can be resurrected. By then, he can He is no longer the Yao Chen, the Master of Medicine, but the Yao Chen of the Holy Medicine.”
When Master Feng heard the good news, the joy on his face was beyond words. He laughed loudly and said excitedly: "It's great, that old guy can finally be resurrected. Xiao Ling, it's all thanks to you."
The joy of Lord Feng could not be described in words. Xiao Ling even felt that Lord Feng would even feel that the joy of breaking through the Dou Sheng was not as good as his mood at this moment.
Silently feeling sorry for the deep friendship between these two good friends, Xiao Ling waved his hand gently and said in a calm tone: "Mr. Feng, Mr. Yao and I have an agreement for a long time. His kindness to me is my responsibility." Keep it in mind, these are my duties.”
Xiao Ling didn't want to continue to struggle with this topic, so he cleverly changed the topic and said: "By the way, Mr. Feng, can you help me find a suitable place to practice? After resting for a while, I plan to retreat for a while. , strive to break through to the realm of Dou Zun.”
When Master Feng heard this, he was slightly startled, and then showed an approving look: "I heard that old guy Yao Chen say before that you only turned nineteen more than four months ago, so you are so young. Starting to hit the realm of Dou Zun is really impressive.”
After sighing with emotion, Master Feng immediately responded: "Since you have such determination, then come with me. I will arrange a place for you to practice, and arrange it near your two companions, so that you can cultivate each other. They can also take care of each other and communicate more easily. ”
As he said this, Master Feng waved his hand gently, and a gap seemed to be torn in the air, and a dark space passage slowly opened in front of him. He turned to Xiao Ling and smiled, motioning for him to follow him in.
The two of them stepped into this deep passage one after the other. The surrounding space seemed to be distorted at this moment, and countless stars and light passed quickly around them, as if they were traveling through the gaps in the universe.
After a moment, the scene in front of them suddenly changed, the space channel disappeared, and they were already standing on a towering mountain peak. The air here is fresh, with a faint medicinal fragrance, which makes people refreshed.
Looking around, there are some exquisite buildings scattered in an orderly manner on the mountain peaks. These buildings are not luxurious, but they reveal a kind of simplicity and elegance, blending harmoniously with the surrounding natural environment.
The roof is covered with verdant glazed tiles, which shimmer faintly under the sunlight. The walls are covered with vines, adding a touch of vitality to these buildings.
Between these buildings, there are winding stone paths, with various exotic flowers and plants planted on both sides, exuding a faint fragrance.
Occasionally, some practitioners can be seen strolling on the paths, or sitting in meditation in the courtyard. The whole mountain is filled with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
Feng Zun smiled, pointed to the scattered buildings with his fingers, and said to Xiao Ling: "These are the residences carefully selected by the two girls. There are only two of them living on this mountain. I think the atmosphere here should also be suitable for you."
Xiao Ling looked around and nodded. The tranquility and elegance here are indeed in line with the tastes of Xiao Yixian and Qinglin.
Just as they were talking, a gap suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, as if the space was gently torn open.
Then, a figure in white clothes slowly walked out of the crack, and her figure looked particularly elegant under the sunlight.
Looking closely, it was none other than Xiao Yixian.
Her eyes turned to Feng Zun and Xiao Ling, and a surprised smile appeared on her face.
"Xiao Ling, you finally came out. I didn't see you before, and I was worried that you had encountered trouble when helping Yao Lao refine a new body, so you were delayed."
Xiao Yixian walked lightly in front of Xiao Ling, looked him up and down, and saw that he was not surprised, so she was relieved and continued,
"Just now I felt that there was a fluctuation in the space, so I rushed over immediately. It turned out that Feng Lao brought you here."
"Yes, the situation this time is more complicated, so it took a little longer than expected. But the refining process is still quite smooth, and Yao Lao's resurrection is just around the corner." Xiao Ling smiled and explained to Xiao Yixian, with a smile in his eyes.
After hearing this, Xiao Yixian nodded gently, with a relieved smile on her face. "That's good. Yao Lao can be resurrected. This is really good news..."
"Okay, okay, I see you two are chatting enthusiastically, so I won't disturb you. I still have to go check on Yao Chen, so I'll leave first." Feng Zun looked at Xiao Ling and Xiao Yixian chatting, and couldn't help but reveal a playful smile. He waved his hand gently and prepared to leave.
"If you need help with anything, go find Qingluan, she can handle it." Feng Zun added, and then waved his hand gently, and a space crack immediately appeared in the air.
His figure flashed and disappeared into the crack, leaving Xiao Ling and Xiao Yixian in place.
"Feng Lao seems to be in a good mood now. It seems that he and Yao Lao have a very deep relationship." Xiao Yixian retracted her gaze, smiled gently, and commented.
"Yes, they met in the most difficult time, and they have experienced so many ups and downs together for so many years, so they naturally established a deep emotional bond." Xiao Ling nodded in agreement.
Such a close friend, in Xiao Ling's current situation, is probably hard to meet. I can only make more acquaintances to comfort my lonely heart.
"Speaking of which, I heard from Venerable Tianhuo that it didn't take you much time to help him refine his body, but it took a lot of time to help Yao Lao refine a new body this time. Is there any difference between the two?"
Xiao Yixian took Xiao Ling's hand and took him to those exquisite houses, asking curiously.
"Actually, there is nothing special. The main reason is that the materials used this time are more precious, so it is naturally more time-consuming to refine." Xiao Ling explained with a smile, "However, when Yao Lao comes out of retreat, he will at least be a Dou Sheng strongman."
"Dou Sheng!" Xiao Yixian repeated in surprise, with a flash of excitement in her eyes, "I didn't expect Yao Lao to break through to Dou Sheng, it's amazing. But how did you get those precious materials?"
"Hehe, this is a secret," Xiao Ling smiled mysteriously, "When the time comes, you will naturally know..."
Following the guidance of Xiao Yixian, Xiao Ling came to a courtyard on the top of the mountain.
This is obviously the place where Xiao Yixian and Qinglin practice. The environment is quiet and full of tranquility and harmony.
The courtyard is surrounded by lush trees with luxuriant branches and leaves, and the sun shines through the gaps to cast mottled light and shadows.
The path in the courtyard is paved with fine stones, and walking on it makes a rustling sound.
On both sides of the path, various flowers compete for beauty and fragrance, attracting bees and butterflies to shuttle among the flowers.
There is a small pavilion in the center of the courtyard, with a set of stone tables and stone chairs in the pavilion, which looks like a good place to rest in leisure time.
Next to the pavilion, a clear stream gurgles, the stream water is clear to the bottom, and occasionally you can see a few small fish swimming in the water.
The architectural style of the house in the courtyard is simple but elegant, and the walls are made of logs, exuding a faint wood fragrance.
The roof is covered with thick thatch, giving people a warm feeling. There were several wind chimes hanging under the eaves, and the breeze blew through them, making crisp ding-dong sounds.
"Master!"
In the courtyard, when Qinglin saw Xiao Ling and Xiao Yixian, he excitedly turned into a green light and quickly flew over.
Xiao Ling smiled lightly, opened his arms, and steadily caught Qinglin who jumped into his arms.
Her arms tightly embraced Xiao Ling's neck, her long legs tightly wrapped around his waist, and she clung to him like a koala, and said in a sweet voice: "Master, you finally came out, Qinglin missed you so much."
The little doctor fairy standing by witnessed this scene, her eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a smile of interest... (End of this chapter)
