Chapter 398: Azure Dragon King Aokiji
After a daily tour of Xiao Ling's medicine garden, Medusa and Zi Yan came to the pavilion in the courtyard to rest.
Medusa leaned against the pavilion pillar, closed her eyes slightly, and the breeze blew gently. Her waterfall-like hair fluttered in the wind, and a few strands of hair gently touched her cheeks, adding a bit of charm. She looked relaxed, as if she was savoring the fragrance in the medicine garden just now.
Zi Yan was lying on the stone table without any image, one hand was still playing with a leaf just picked from the medicine garden, mumbling about the aftertaste of those spiritual fruits, and sighing with satisfaction from time to time, her two legs dangling in the air, showing a playful state.
At this moment, Zi Yan seemed to suddenly realize something, her delicate body trembled slightly, a trace of surprise flashed in her smart eyes, and then she quickly sat up and looked towards the distance with a torch-like gaze.
Medusa on the opposite side noticed Zi Yan's strange reaction and came back to her senses instantly. Her deep and charming eyes looked in the direction of Zi Yan's gaze, with a bit of doubt and alertness in her eyes.
As a slight ripple appeared in the void, it was as if the calm lake was gently blown by the breeze. Then, two figures gradually emerged and suddenly broke into the sight of Medusa and Zi Yan.
The people who came were a man and a woman, and they were Xiao Ling and Qing Lin who had just left Yao Chen and returned to Lingyue Peak.
When Zi Yan saw Xiao Ling's face clearly, she was stunned for a moment, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, as if she couldn't believe that the person she was looking forward to appeared in front of her.
"Xiao Ling, you are finally back!" Immediately, her face immediately bloomed with a gorgeous look of joy like peach blossoms, and she shouted happily, and the voice was full of uncontrollable joy, echoing in the air.
Before the cheerful voice completely faded, Zi Yan's small purple figure suddenly rushed towards Xiao Ling like a flash of lightning.
Her speed was so fast that even the void was rippled wherever she passed. Then, like a meteor, she directly stabbed into Xiao Ling's arms with a "rocket head hammer", hugged tightly, and was unwilling to let go.
Xiao Ling had just seen the faces of Zi Yan and Medusa clearly, and before he had time to come to his senses, he was suddenly hit by Zi Yan's sudden impact. His body was uncontrollably retreated several steps directly, and the ground under his feet was scratched with shallow marks. It was not easy to stabilize his body.
Xiao Ling came back to his senses and looked at the energetic purple-haired little loli in his arms. Although his chest was still stuffy, he couldn't help but curl up a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
He shook his head helplessly, then stretched out his hands, gently supported Zi Yan's hips, and held her steadily in his arms.
"Zi Yan, long time no see." Xiao Ling looked down at the purple-haired Lolita in his arms, with a doting smile on his lips and tenderness in his eyes. He shook her gently and said softly.
"Hehe, I took great pains to escape from Donglong Island, just to come to you. Do you feel particularly honored?"
Zi Yan arched her back mischievously in Xiao Ling's arms, and then raised her cute little head, facing Xiao Ling with a smug look on her face, as if she had done something extremely great.
"Haha, you are really Zi Yan. You did something that others could not do easily. Even a Dousheng-level warrior would not be able to escape from Donglong Island as unnoticed as you did. You are really amazing!"
Xiao Ling looked at Zi Yan's little look of asking for praise, nodded helplessly and amusedly, with a look of approval on his face, and praised her well according to her wishes.
Xiao Ling knew clearly that if the elders of Donglong Island had not deliberately indulged Zi Yan and allowed her to sneak away from Donglong Island, it would be a fantasy and impossible for Zi Yan to escape from Donglong Island without being noticed by anyone, given her current eighth-level cultivation.
After all, Zi Yan has the pure blood of the Dragon King, and her status in Donglong Island is extremely noble. How could the elders let her sneak out alone without any protection?
If Xiao Ling guessed correctly, the third elder of Donglong Island, Zhu Li, might be quietly following Zi Yan and protecting her in secret.
Although Xiao Ling had released his soul power that was comparable to the Great Perfection of the Spirit Realm and conducted a detailed investigation around him, he did not find any clues.
It can only be said that the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan's talent in space is really powerful. If they want to hide, there is really no trace.
An adult Taixu Ancient Dragon, with strength comparable to that of a high-level semi-saint of a human, basically no one can stop him with the spatial talent of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan without the Dou Sheng. With such a strong man as a bodyguard, Zi Yan is really born with blessings but does not know how to appreciate it.
At this time, a crisp sound of high heels stepping on the ground came. Xiao Ling raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw Medusa walking slowly with her slender and white legs, lightly and gracefully. Each step seemed to have a unique rhythm and exuded charming charm.
"Medusa, long time no see, how are you?" Xiao Ling stared at Medusa's exquisite and beautiful face, with a guilty look in his eyes, but he still said hello with an unchanged expression.
"It was you who deceived me from the Snake Tribe, but when you arrived in Zhongzhou, you left me to be taken care of by Zi Yan, while you went to Zhongzhou to live happily. Tsk tsk, the youngest eighth-grade alchemist recorded in the Danta Tower, The reputation of Master Xiao Ling, the number one genius of the younger generation in Zhongzhou, is now known to everyone in Zhongzhou. "
Medusa narrowed her eyes slightly, a red light seemed to flash in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised a charming arc. There were complex emotions hidden in that smile, including anger, ridicule, and a trace of imperceptible longing.
When Xiao Ling heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face, and his smile seemed a little stiff.
"The situation was really special at that time, and I didn't expect it to be like this later. You followed Zi Yan in a daze. When I came back to my senses and tried to look for you, I couldn't find any trace of you. I did something wrong and I broke my promise. I apologize to you."
Xiao Ling himself felt that what he did in that incident was a bit unethical. I think back then, after all, I was the one who brought them out of that remote corner of the Northwest Continent.
I had already made an agreement with someone, but in the end I failed to keep my promise. In the final analysis, I was still too careless, which led to this result.
If it weren't for the fact that the little sky-swallowing python was following one of his own, Zi Yan, but for some other reason, the consequences would be really unimaginable.
Medusa snorted lightly, but the resentment in her eyes did not diminish a little. She turned her head slightly and did not meet Xiao Ling's gaze, but she still said in an unquestionable tone,
"Hmph, seeing that your attitude is quite sincere, I won't argue too much with you. However, you have to prepare twenty Transformation Pills as an apology. Only in this way, I will take this matter as an apology. It’s never happened. Don’t even think about doing it casually. If you lose one, I won’t let you go.”
In fact, Medusa was not really particularly angry. After all, after following Zi Yan to Donglong Island, her life was quite comfortable.
She has a close relationship with Zi Yan, and she feels like a fish in water on Donglong Island. She has benefited a lot from the rich resources there. She has the opportunity to come into contact with all kinds of rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures and secret cultivation methods that she has never seen before.
It is precisely because of this that she has been able to advance rapidly on the road of cultivation, and now she has successfully broken through the eighth-level monster. This was a blessing in disguise for her.
However, if the matter was revealed so easily, it would not be in line with Medusa's character. She was not the kind of master who would suffer easily, so she had to get some benefits from Xiao Ling.
After all, she was "lost" by him inexplicably in the first place. Although she gained something, she couldn't just let it go. Xiao Ling had to pay a price to balance her heart.
Anyway, the condition she proposed is just a piece of cake for Xiao Ling now and can be easily accomplished. What Medusa really wants is an attitude from Xiao Ling, an attitude that values her and takes responsibility for past mistakes.
This would allow her to confirm that she had a certain weight in Xiao Ling's heart instead of being treated casually by him. As long as Xiao Ling is willing to make amends, the relationship between them can continue to be maintained or even go further.
After merging with the soul of the little sky-swallowing python, Medusa found that her feelings for Xiao Ling had changed a lot.
Although Medusa did not like Xiao Ling before, the slightest affection did exist. However, after merging with the soul of the little sky-swallowing python, the feeling was like a ignited flame, spreading and amplifying rapidly and uncontrollably.
During her days on Donglong Island, Xiao Ling's figure always broke into her mind from time to time. Whenever this happens, she will think of the scenes when the two got along, including her own memories and the warm memories of the little sky-swallowing python and Xiao Ling.
Especially when he thought of the scene where he was naked and exposed in front of Xiao Ling's eyes, a blush crept onto his cheeks unconsciously, and his heartbeat accelerated.
At first, after Medusa noticed the growth of this emotion, she tried to suppress it with her strong will. She didn't want to be affected by this sudden emotion and tried to keep herself calm as before.
But who knows, this emotion is like a life. The more suppressed it becomes, the stronger it becomes. Like a raging tide, it hits her defenses one after another.
In the end, she had no choice but to give up resistance and allowed this emotion to develop unchecked in her heart. Even Medusa herself couldn't figure out how far it had reached.
Xiao Ling showed a relieved smile and nodded quickly: "No problem, it's just twenty Transformation Pills. Don't worry, I will definitely prepare them for you."
Xiao Ling thought for a moment and was able to figure out Medusa's intention of asking for these twenty Transformation Pills. There is no doubt that it must be planned by the snake people.
With these twenty Transformation Pills, the Snake Tribe's future development will definitely be much smoother, and the clan's strength will also be raised to a higher level.
Anyway, there were only twenty Transformation Pills, which was a piece of cake for Xiao Ling. He has no shortage of medicinal materials and the like. After all, these are only seventh-grade elixirs, and Xiao Ling has a lot of eighth-grade and ninth-grade medicinal materials.
Besides, with his current soul power strength, it is easy to refine several transformation pills at the same time, and it doesn't take much energy at all.
After reuniting with Zi Yan and Medusa, Xiao Ling did not plan to go about his own business alone, but took the two of them to visit the Starfall Pavilion.
After the two came to Xingyun Pavilion, they had not been able to stroll around properly. They had spent most of their time eating herbs and practicing in Xiao Ling's residence. Moreover, they were not familiar with the people in Xingyun Pavilion, so they had never visited the pavilion before, and had no intention of doing so.
Taking this opportunity, Xiao Ling specially visited several guest elders of Xingyun Pavilion who had never met before. Each of these guest elders was at least a Dou Zun level strongman.
However, in front of Xiao Ling, a genuine eighth-grade alchemist, none of them put on airs and their attitudes were extremely polite.
Afterwards, Xiao Ling took Zi Yan and Medusa to the main pavilion of Xingyun Pavilion to meet Feng Xian. Under Xiao Ling's arrangement, Medusa and Zi Yan were successfully appointed to Xingyun Pavilion.
Since then, the two of them have also become guest elders of Xingyun Pavilion. Their identities and status are very different from before, and they can be regarded as Xingyun Pavilion's own people.
Taking advantage of Xiao Ling's initiative to find him, Feng Xian also took the opportunity to propose that Xiao Ling take his place and lead Mu Qingluan to attend the Sifang Pavilion Conference to be held soon.
However, he proposed this matter in his own name and did not tell Xiao Ling that this was Yao Chen's idea.
Xiao Ling originally felt puzzled, thinking why should he go to such a thing by himself? But before he had time to speak, Zi Yan accepted this request for him.
Seeing that Zi Yan showed great interest in this matter, Xiao Ling did not have any aversion in his heart. In this case, he simply nodded and agreed to this matter.
Xiao Ling took Zi Yan and Medusa to stroll leisurely in Xingyun Pavilion. They walked through pavilion after pavilion and saw scene after scene.
Unconsciously, the afterglow of the sunset gradually faded, and the sky seemed to be slowly covered by a huge black curtain and gradually darkened.
Seeing that the sky had gradually darkened, Xiao Ling took Zi Yan and Medusa to the residence.
Along the way, Zi Yan was still chattering about the interesting things she saw today, and Medusa was listening with a smile.
After returning to the residence, Xiao Ling carefully arranged a room for the two of them to live in. He decorated the room warmly and comfortably, and also thoughtfully prepared some daily necessities.
Before, the two had always lived in Xiao Ling's room, but now that Xiao Ling was back, they naturally couldn't continue to live there, and had to find another place to live.
When everything was almost arranged, Xiao Ling also greeted Qing Lin on purpose, and then walked to his room alone.
This time out, he really encountered a lot of things. Now he just wanted to lie down on the bed quickly, relax well, and let his body and mind rest.
Xiao Ling closed the door lightly, walked slowly into the bedroom, yawned, and there was still a trace of fatigue and attachment in his eyes.
When he came to the bed, he lay down gently like a fallen leaf, and the soft bedding and sheets quickly surrounded him tenderly.
Xiao Ling exhaled slowly, and the breath was light and comfortable as if relieved of a heavy burden. Every pore was relaxed in this comfortable touch, and the muscles of the whole body gradually relaxed. The whole person seemed to melt in this endless comfort, as if all the fatigue in the world disappeared at this moment.
Xiao Ling turned over and reached out to embrace the soft pillow on the bed. At the same time, a thought involuntarily emerged in his mind that he still had three draw opportunities that had not been used.
Thinking about this, Xiao Ling already had an idea in his mind. It was just right to be free at this moment, so he might as well use up the three draw opportunities.
He muttered to himself: "System, use the remaining three draw opportunities."
[Ding, using the draw opportunity for the host....]
[Ding... Congratulations to the host for drawing, the ancient species of Xianyuan. ]
[Ding... Congratulations to the host for drawing, "Taiqing Youtianbu"]
[Ding... Congratulations to the host for drawing, a residual image of the Azure Dragon King Qingzhi. 】
As the system's extraction results were revealed, Xiao Ling's mind immediately emerged with detailed information about the three items extracted this time.
[Ancient Immortal Seed: This is a magical seed that can cultivate the Ancient Immortal Tree. This ancient tree has the ability to automatically absorb the energy of heaven and earth, and then condense the Ancient Immortal Fruit. Eating this fruit can quickly improve the cultivation of the Nirvana Realm strongman. 】
["Taiqing Youtianbu": This is a body movement martial arts of the creation level, which is one of the secret and unique skills of the Jiutian Taiqing Palace. 】
[A residual image of the Azure Dragon King Qingzhi: This is a residual image left by the Azure Dragon King Qingzhi in the Azure Dragon Hall of the ancient battlefield, which contains the spiritual will of the Azure Dragon King Qingzhi. The strength of this residual image is equivalent to the small success stage of the Death Profound Realm. 】
With a thought, Xiao Ling was filled with joy after checking the introduction of the three items extracted in his mind this time.
Let's not talk about how useful these items are to me. The fact that I didn't miss any of the three draws is enough to prove that my luck in the draw is pretty good.
Moreover, the three items drawn this time all look pretty good.
Xiao Ling knows very well that the Immortal Yuan Ancient Seed is a treasure in Martial Universe. One Immortal Yuan Ancient Seed can be used to cultivate an Immortal Yuan Ancient Tree. In this way, a faction has the potential for rapid development.
Although Xiao Ling can't use this thing now, it can be used to enhance the foundation of Xingyun Pavilion.
Xiao Ling plans to give the Immortal Yuan Ancient Seed to Feng Xian and Yao Chen later, so that they can cultivate an Immortal Yuan Ancient Tree in Xingyun Pavilion.
With the Immortal Yuan Ancient Fruits produced continuously by the Immortal Yuan Ancient Tree, the Dou Zong-level elders and disciples of Xingyun Pavilion can be cultivated quickly.
Xiao Ling was not very interested in the "Tai Qing You Tian Bu". After all, he already possessed the advanced earth-level body fighting skill "Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body". In comparison, the "Tai Qing You Tian Bu" of the creation level seemed a bit insignificant.
