Chapter 366 Ancestral Stone

Although this incident did not turn into the worst situation in the end, and Mu Qingluan was not substantially harmed, it undoubtedly left a deep shadow in her heart.

Whenever she recalled the huge figure of the giant dragon and its eyes that almost swallowed her up, Mu Qingluan couldn't help but feel an unspeakable fear in her heart.

Xiao Ling quickly noticed something strange about Mu Qingluan. He asked with a hint of confusion: "Junior sister, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"It's nothing, senior brother, I'm fine..." Mu Qingluan shook her head quickly, trying to hide her uneasiness, but the slight chattering of her teeth when she spoke betrayed her, and it was obvious that what she said was untrue.

Seeing Mu Qingluan's frightened look, Qinglin couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. She immediately leaned into Xiao Ling's ear and began to explain to him the ins and outs of the matter in a low voice.

After listening to Qinglin's narration, Xiao Ling was also a little bit dumbfounded. He thought to himself that he had indeed been a little too indulgent towards Rayquaza in the past, and it seemed that he would have to discipline this big guy in the future.

"Junior sister, I'm really sorry, I didn't take care of that guy before." Xiao Ling patted Mu Qingluan's little head gently, with an apology in his tone, but a gentle smile on his face, "Don't worry, Qinglin has already told Rayquaza that it will not scare you again. Moreover, it seems to have remembered your appearance and there will be no more misunderstandings."

Mu Qingluan nodded, but silently complained in her heart, "That's not a threat. It almost killed me."

However, she did not say what was in her heart, she just sighed softly, hoping that she would never encounter such a "surprise" again in the future.

"By the way, what did Yao Lao tell me about Burning Flame Valley before? Junior sister, please explain to me." Withdrawing his palm, Xiao Ling remembered what Yao Chen said before, so he asked.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagrecre recently." Mu Qingluan came back to her senses and began to talk to Xiao Ling, "We at Xingyun Pavilion learned through some channels that it turned out that There is something wrong with Tang Huo'er, the eldest lady of Fenyan Valley. She has some hidden dangers in her body and needs the help of an alchemist to refine a seventh-grade high-grade elixir. After learning this news, Uncle Yao Chen agreed in your name. Got this..."

After listening to Mu Qingluan's detailed explanation, Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and had a clear understanding of the entire situation. Yao Chen obviously wanted to use this opportunity to help refine the elixir to make Fenyan Valley owe a favor in exchange for the complete secret book of the Three Mysterious Transformations of Sky Fire.

"Understood, I will naturally participate in this matter." Xiao Ling smiled slightly, with a hint of expectation in his tone, "I have been salivating for a long time since the Fire Three Mysteries changed that day."

For an alchemist like Xiao Ling who has contained many kinds of strange fires in his body, he is undoubtedly the best candidate to practice the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire. What's more, the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire is not only a powerful technique, it is also a key secret technique for cultivating the Xiao clan's clan pattern.

Although the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire circulated in Burning Flame Valley are incomplete and cannot be truly cultivated to produce clan patterns, even so, being able to master the Three Mysterious Transformations of Skyfire in advance will be of great benefit to accumulating experience when condensing clan patterns in the future.

After Mu Qingluan explained the situation in Fenyan Valley in detail, Xiao Ling asked her curiously about the major events that had happened in Zhongzhou in the past year. However, there seemed to be no news that particularly interested him.

After chatting with Mu Qingluan for a few more words, Xiao Ling led the Little Medical Fairy and Qing Lin on the return journey to the mountain peak where they lived.

After being in seclusion for nearly a year, Xiao Ling is finally out of seclusion. It's time to relax and enjoy some leisurely time.

…

After breaking through the realm of Dou Zun, Xiao Ling did not rush to do anything big, nor did he continue to work hard, but began to slowly relax himself. He accompanied the little medical fairy to refine the elixir, and from time to time gave her some tips and insights on how to refine the elixir.

In the alchemy room, the fire illuminated their focused faces. Xiao Ling patiently explained every detail of refining the elixir, while the little medical fairy listened attentively and nodded from time to time to express understanding. The air is filled with the aroma of herbs and the unique fragrance of the elixir being made.

This kind of time is both relaxing and enjoyable for Xiao Ling. He enjoyed imparting knowledge and enjoying the quiet time spent with the little medical fairy.

After a year of practice and occasional guidance from Yao Chen, a quasi-ninth-grade alchemist, the little medical fairy has made considerable progress in refining medicine. With the assistance of her spiritual soul and strange fire, it is no longer difficult for her to refine sixth-grade elixirs. However, she still felt a little powerless when facing the seventh-grade elixir, and her success rate was barely over half.

The little medical fairy's fighting spirit attribute is indeed not suitable for refining elixirs. Her fighting spirit has the poison attribute, which has nothing to do with the fire and wood attributes required for refining medicine. She was able to refine elixirs entirely due to the high temperature of the Nether Poison Fire triggered by controlling the toxins, which made it much more difficult for her to refine elixirs than Tang Zhen, who had the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire.

After all, the Tang Zhen Valley Master at least possesses the fire attribute Dou Qi, and his control over flames is naturally easier than other practitioners with the Dou Qi attribute. As for the Little Medical Fairy, she could only rely on her powerful soul power to finely control the flames. If she hadn't had an innocent heart dedicated to refining medicine, others might have given up long ago.

Nowadays, being able to refine a sixth-grade elixir under such conditions is already a big achievement for the little medical fairy. She is quite satisfied with her current performance.

Looking back, when she dreamed of becoming an alchemist, she never dared to hope how high she could reach. In the eyes of Xiao Yixian at that time, the sixth-grade alchemist seemed unattainable.

With the enrichment of experience, Xiao Yixian gradually discovered that those things that she once thought were extremely precious now seemed to be just so-so.

Whenever Xiao Yixian recalled her changes from the past to the present, she always felt a sense of inexplicable emotion. The gap between those past dreams and current achievements made her cherish every moment in front of her more, and also strengthened her motivation to practice step by step.

Xiao Yixian turned her gaze to the person next to her, the one who made her life change dramatically. Looking at him, Xiao Yixian's eyes gradually became soft and blurred.

"Xian'er, what's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Xiao Ling noticed that Xiao Yixian's eyes had been on him, and couldn't help asking curiously.

Xiao Yixian did not answer, but just shook her head gently, and then, she suddenly seemed to be driven by some emotion and threw herself into Xiao Ling's arms.

The netherworld poisonous fire in the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron, after losing the support of Xiao Yixian's fighting spirit, made a slight "puff", then fell silent, and the flames went out.

Those sixth-grade medicinal materials that were invaluable to other alchemists, because of the sudden interruption of the medicine-making process, were all turned into fine powder in the explosion and scattered around the furnace.

But at this moment, Xiao Ling and Xiao Yixian ignored this sudden change. In their world, only each other existed.

Xiao Ling did not speak again. One of his hands gently hugged Xiao Yixian's back, and the other hand gently stroked her white hair that cascaded like a waterfall. Every movement was full of tenderness and warmth.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yixian slowly raised her face, and her cheek gradually moved closer to Xiao Ling until her lips gently touched his soft lips.

Xiao Ling was a little stunned at first, but soon, he closed his eyes gently, threw himself into the kiss, and responded.

Their lips touched, the temperature was exchanging, and the emotions were flowing. Xiao Yixian's lips slightly opened, and the tip of her tongue gently extended, meeting Xiao Ling's tongue tip, interweaving an ambiguous melody. Their breaths blended between each other's lips, and the atmosphere gradually heated up, filled with strong tenderness.

As the clothes fell off piece by piece, the temperature in the room seemed to be gradually rising, as if even the air became lingering and warm.

Xiao Ling's fingers gently stroked Xiao Yixian's skin, and every inch of touch was like a spring breeze, warm and delicate.

Xiao Yixian's heartbeat was accelerating, and her cheeks were stained with a faint blush, like a newly blooming peach blossom.

In this quiet space, time seemed to slow down, and only the breathing and heartbeats of the two were intertwined, playing a silent love song.

Xiao Ling's kiss slid from her lips, along the curve of her neck, gently exploring. Xiao Yixian trembled slightly, her fingers inserted into Xiao Ling's hair, feeling his warmth and strength. Xiao Yixian's breathing became rapid, and her heartbeat was like a string of a harp being moved by the spring breeze, making a subtle and pleasant tremolo.

The bodies and souls of the two were communicating silently, and every movement and every breath was an unspoken understanding between them.

Their love was like a pill slowly burning in the fire, which became more precious and pure after being tempered by time.

When the fire gradually went out and the room returned to peace, the two still hugged each other tightly, unwilling to break the tranquility.

After a long time, Xiao Ling gently rubbed Xiao Yixian's head, with a hint of tenderness and expectation in his tone, and said: "Tomorrow I will set off for the Burning Flame Valley, Xian'er, will you go with me?"

Hearing Xiao Ling's question, Xiao Yixian leaned on Xiao Ling's arm and was slightly silent for a while. Her eyes seemed to travel through time and space and fell on a distant place.

Immediately, Xiao Yixian's voice sounded softly, with a hint of apology: "Xiao Ling, I'm really sorry that I can't be with you this time. I found that the effect of swallowing poison to enhance my cultivation has been getting weaker and weaker recently, and I have been stagnant at the level of Seven Star Dou Zun for quite some time."

She lowered her head slightly, as if thinking about something, and then raised her head again, with a firm light in her eyes, and continued: "Yao Lao told me the approximate location of an ancient tomb. The owner there was also the owner of the Evil Poison Body like me. In the last moments of her life, she found a way to control the Evil Poison Body. Although she did not succeed in the end, that place might be an opportunity for me to improve my cultivation, so I decided to go there and take a look."

Xiao Ling smiled softly, with a glimmer of understanding in his eyes. He knew in his heart that the ancient tomb mentioned by Xiao Yixian was most likely the place where she obtained the Poison Seal in the original book. It was indeed an opportunity for Xiao Yixian. Since Xiao Yixian already had her own plan, Xiao Ling would naturally not stop her.

"I understand, Xian'er. Just go with peace of mind, I will take good care of myself. There's actually nothing to worry about when we go to Fenyan Valley this time. I'm already a Dou Zun-level warrior, and I have the Heavenly Demon Puppet to assist me. No one in Zhongzhou can touch a hair on my head." Xiao Ling said as he gently stroked the little medical fairy's soft white hair, his tone relaxed.

The little medical fairy nodded slightly, with a touch of tenderness in his eyes, but still reminded with concern: "Although you have broken through to Dou Zun, you still have to be more careful. After all, you have some issues with the Soul Palace now, and those who are hiding in the stinking ditch The rats in there might secretly attack you at some point."

"Don't worry, Xian'er. Before I leave Xingyun Pavilion, I will ask Yao Lao for a space jade slip. If I really encounter any difficult enemies, I will ask Yao Lao to take action personally and deal with them all. . With Yao Lao’s current strength, in this land of Zhongzhou, as long as the master of the Soul Palace, Hun Mie Sheng, doesn’t come forward in person, Yao Lao can keep me safe.”

Xiao Ling smiled slightly, with a bit of complacency in his tone. He spent so much effort to get Dou Sheng's body and help Yao Chen resurrect, wasn't it just to give himself a backup plan? Now that Yao Chen has a strong backer, Xiao Ling will have more confidence to venture out in the future.

After listening to Xiao Ling's words, the little medical fairy felt a little less worried. She also knew in her heart that with the backing of a strong man like Yao Lao, Xiao Ling's safety could indeed be guaranteed.

The little medical fairy gently held Xiao Ling's hand and felt the warmth and firmness coming from his palm. "Then I'm relieved, Xiao Ling. You must be careful outside. When I finish handling the matter, I will come back as soon as possible." Come back to find you."

"Okay, I understand. But just to be on the safe side, you should also go to Yao Lao and get a space jade slip for an extra layer of protection." Xiao Ling nodded and said easily.

"Okay, I get it..."

…

Having made plans to travel, the little medical fairy did not delay further. At noon the next day, when the sun was shining, she said a brief farewell to Xiao Ling and the others, stepped out of the gate of Xingyun Pavilion, and embarked on a journey to the ancient tomb alone.

Before leaving, she specifically remembered Xiao Ling's instructions and took a space jade slip from Yao Chen, just in case.

Watching the figure of the little medical fairy gradually go away, until she disappeared from the end of the line of sight, Xiao Ling slowly withdrew his gaze.

Although he and the little medical fairy didn't get along for a long time after being released from isolation this time, they had expressed their thoughts about each other vividly in the past few days.

Therefore, although Xiao Ling felt a little reluctant to give up, he did not feel that heart-wrenching feeling.

"Alright, Qinglin, let's go call that Rayquaza guy back. We're going to set off in two days to go to the Burning Flame Valley. We haven't been there yet, so we need to see it carefully this time." As Xiao Ling spoke, he patted Qinglin's little head gently, with an expectant smile on his face.

Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Qinglin's eyes lit up and he nodded obediently, his eyes full of excitement. I feel excited just thinking about being able to go out alone with the young master. She was already looking forward to the adventure to come.

Although, since Xiao Ling came out of seclusion, he would often accompany her, and would even take the initiative to talk to her about cultivation at night, and practice some strange fighting skills, which made her feel particularly happy and satisfied.

But compared to being able to go out and play alone with the young master, these little things are nothing. Qinglin felt happy just thinking about being able to travel with the young master.

…

The sky is as blue as a wash, without a single cloud. It is vast and vast, like a huge blue crystal, clear and translucent...

"Hiss~"

Suddenly, a sharp neighing pierced the tranquility, a white figure cut through the sky like lightning, and the wind howled. The speed was so fast that people could hardly see its appearance.

When the white shadow got closer, it was clear that it was a huge white snake, covered in snow-white, with eight broad wings spread out on its back.

On the back of the giant snake, two figures sat cross-legged steadily, it was Xiao Ling and Qing Lin. They set off from Xingyun Pavilion and were heading towards the Burning Flame Valley in the distance.

At this time, some time had passed since Xiao Ling and Qing Lin left Xingyun Pavilion and embarked on the journey to Burning Flame Valley.

The sun shines through the sparse clouds and shines on Xiao Ling's body. He plays with the map that Yao Chen gave him before leaving, and murmurs in a low voice: "It's not far from the Burning Flame Valley. We have to go through two more Through the space wormhole, you can enter the Blazing Mountains in the southwest of the Central Region of Zhongzhou.”

He gently rolled up the map in his hand and inserted it into the ring between his fingers. Then, Xiao Ling turned around and glanced at Qing Lin, who was still concentrating on practicing. Seeing that she was immersed in her own world, she smiled softly and looked away.

Thinking that after he broke through Douzun, he still had one unused chance to draw, Xiao Ling felt a little itchy at this moment. He thought, now that he had nothing to do, he might as well take advantage of this opportunity. He was a little excited just thinking about it.

Just thinking about it, Xiao Ling felt a surge of expectation in his heart. He closed his eyes gently and said silently in his mind: "System, I want to use up the extraction opportunity I got after breaking through Douzun."

[Hey, the extraction opportunity is being used for the host, please wait...]

[Dip... Congratulations to the host for extracting the ancestral stone. 】

As the results of the system extraction were revealed, detailed information about the item extracted this time, the ancestral stone, immediately emerged in Xiao Ling's mind.

[Ancestral Stone: Originated from Tianxuan Continent, created by Fu Zu, a powerful generation from the world, and ranked among the nine super divine objects. Ranked second on the list of ancient divine objects in the Tianxuan Continent, it is refined from the divine objects that gather together from heaven and earth.
