Chapter 384 Eighth Grade Nine Colors
Time passed slowly, and Xiao Ling was immersed in elixir refining. Under his careful refining, the first refining process went surprisingly smoothly.
Xiao Ling relied on the spiritual realm of Dzogchen. Every step was handled just right, every trace of spiritual power was injected accurately, and there were no accidents in the alchemy process.
Without everyone noticing, the seven days slipped away quietly like a fleeting moment.
In an instant, the calm was suddenly broken, and a low and loud sound suddenly exploded between the sky and the earth. The sound was like dull thunder reverberating in the valley, deafening and making people's hearts tighten.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely strong energy wave, like a surging tsunami, suddenly erupted from the alchemy place and spread out in all directions with overwhelming force.
Immediately, the wind and clouds in the sky changed, and the originally clear sky was instantly shrouded in dark clouds. The clouds seemed to be summoned by a mysterious force and quickly condensed together at lightning speed.
"Look! This is the thunder catastrophe caused by the upcoming release of the high-level elixir. The elixir is about to be refined!"
Seeing this shocking scene, some people in the crowd suddenly widened their eyes and shouted in shock. The voice trembled slightly with excitement and spread in all directions in the howling wind.
When the people around heard the shouting, they all looked to the sky, with a look of shock on their faces.
"The elixir will be released in just seven days. Could it be that he directly refined the seventh-grade Spiritual Source Restoration Pill instead of the eighth-grade three-pattern Spiritual Source Restoration Pill?"
The old woman who was the first to question Xiao Ling frowned slightly and murmured to herself with confusion on her face.
After all, Xiao Ling's refining time was too abnormal. It usually takes an eighth-level alchemist to refine a seventh-level elixir for a longer time than this, but this is much faster than the normal time for refining an eighth-level elixir, so it was misunderstood that he was refining a seventh-level elixir. , which is also excusable.
When the people around heard the old woman's whisper, they couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Their eyes were fixed on the gathering clouds of calamity in the sky, and they were all guessing at the grade of the elixir.
"No, the elixir refined this time is definitely an eighth-grade elixir. A seventh-grade elixir will not produce such strong energy fluctuations at all."
At this time, a middle-aged woman next to her opened her mouth to explain. She is the alchemist elder of Yin Valley. Although she is only a sixth-level low-level alchemist, she has accumulated a lot of knowledge when she went out to attend alchemy meetings.
She knew very well that there was a very significant difference in the energy fluctuations between the seventh-grade elixir and the eighth-grade elixir when they were born, just like the difference between a stream and a river, which could be distinguished at a glance.
Therefore, she was sure that this was a sign that the eighth-grade elixir was about to be released. The strong energy fluctuations, like a unique mark, left her without any doubt.
Before everyone could continue the discussion, they saw Xiao Ling, who had been sitting quietly cross-legged, make a new move.
Under the gazes of those eyes, Xiao Ling stood up slowly, with a tall and slender figure. The long period of alchemy consumption did not seem to have caused any damage to him.
Xiao Ling raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident and calm smile, and looked at the rolling thunderclouds in the sky.
At this time, the thunderclouds in the sky seemed to be alive. After several violent tossings, they underwent several wonderful changes.
The originally dark clouds gradually emerged with nine colors, each of which was bright and dazzling, like a dreamy scroll slowly unfolding in the sky.
These colors intertwined and merged with each other, and the gorgeous light flickered in the clouds, as if the entire sky was lit up, releasing a mysterious and powerful aura that shocked everyone on the ground.
"It's actually an eighth-grade colored elixir, and it's also the highest-level nine-color elixir!"
In an instant, the sky and the earth were illuminated by this gorgeous color, and the nine-color Danlei was like nine majestic dragons, rolling and roaring in the clouds, shining with awe-inspiring light.
Seeing this, Su Li's face, which was originally as calm as a deep pool of still water, suddenly showed an uncontrollable expression of excitement. Her clear eyes were full of shock and surprise, as if she had seen the most incredible sight in the world.
The elders around him also took a deep breath and exclaimed one after another.
Not far away, Qing Lin stared straight at the dreamlike nine-color Dan Lei in the sky, with a proud smile on his face.
In her mind, her young master is so omnipotent and can always create breathtaking miracles.
How many alchemists are there today who can refine nine-color elixirs? That is simply rare!
Many old monsters who have been immersed in alchemy for many years cannot refine it in their entire lives.
I think back then, a peerless genius like Yao Chen was able to refine the eighth-grade and nine-color elixir after countless attempts and years of experience in refining medicine.
But what about Xiao Ling? He is only twenty years old and has already achieved such amazing achievements!
If this matter spreads out, it will definitely set off a storm in the outside world, and the entire continent will be shaken by it!
Xiao Ling raised his head and looked at the brilliant nine-color thundercloud in the sky, and couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction in his heart. This thunder cloud is like a monument, announcing his achievements and strength.
You know, refining an eighth-grade nine-color elixir is something that countless alchemists dare not even think about. It is like the stars hanging high in the sky, which can only be looked up at but cannot be touched, and he Xiao Ling did it.
However, when Xiao Ling refined the elixir this time, he did not refine the eighth-grade and nine-color elixir all at once.
Although Xiao Ling's soul power has reached the great perfection of the spiritual realm, he still lacks experience in refining medicine. After breaking through Dou Zun, he did not spend much time learning the art of refining medicine from Yao Chen, and left Xingyun Pavilion. Later, he only refined a fire bodhi pill in Fenyan Valley, and did not practice the art of refining medicine.
This time, Xiao Ling was good at refining the pill, and he was assisted by three different strange fires and the ability to do many things at the same time, so the steps of nourishing the pill were relatively easy.
Even so, Xiao Ling only refined an eighth-grade seven-color pill at the beginning. In the end, he relied on the method of raising the spirit taught by Yao Chen to improve the quality of the pill, and successfully upgraded the grade of this pill to the eighth-grade nine-color.
"Oh no! The power of the nine-color pill thunder cannot be underestimated. It is not something we can easily resist! Elders, listen to my order and quickly activate the sect protection formation!"
Su Li suddenly shouted after coming back to her senses from joy, her brows tightly furrowed, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. The excitement on his face just now was fading away rapidly.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling remained silent and did not speak to stop it. He knew very well that the power of the Nine-Colored Pill Thunder was no joke, and it would be extremely difficult to catch it.
He did not intend to let the Heavenly Demon Puppet take it hard. After all, before refining the pill, he had already negotiated with Yin Gu about how to deal with the pill thunder. In this case, the employer had to find a way to solve it himself.
Around the square, the elders of Yin Gu had already been on guard. They looked solemn, nodded one after another, and quickly formed hand seals at the same time.
In an instant, a series of powerful fighting spirits spurted out from their hands, and these fighting spirits were like dazzling arrows of light, shooting into the air.
They intertwined and entangled in the air, as if a pair of invisible hands were carefully weaving a gorgeous and huge light net. As the fighting spirit continued to merge and change, an extremely large formation gradually took shape.
This formation was magnificent, like an inverted giant bowl, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura. It shone with colorful light, which was like layers of flowing light curtains, shining against each other and dazzling.
The formation expanded rapidly, and soon covered the area of hundreds of feet in radius, as if it had supported an independent world in this area, giving people an extremely solid sense of security.
Just as the formation was just formed, the Dan Lei in the sky seemed to have accumulated all its energy and finally began to attack.
The nine-color Dan Lei was like a peerless heavenly sword, carrying the momentum of destroying the world, and slashed fiercely towards the bottom.
In an instant, the space was like fragile glass, with cracks appearing one after another. These cracks spread rapidly, as if to tear the whole world apart.
Wherever the Dan Lei passed, the air was compressed sharply, forming circles of shock waves visible to the naked eye, spreading wildly around, making a deafening roar, as if to shatter people's eardrums.
Everything around was trembling under this terrifying power, as if it would be completely destroyed by the Dan Lei in the next second.
Fortunately, the Sound Valley has a long history, profound heritage, and extraordinary heritage. In addition, sufficient preparations had been made before the alchemy, so the process of dealing with the Dan Lei seemed orderly and well-organized.
During this process, Xiao Ling also released several Heavenly Demon Puppets. Under the cover of the formation, these Heavenly Demon Puppets rushed towards the Dan Lei and began to absorb the energy of the Dan Lei.
With the protection of the formation, there is no need to worry that the power of the Dan Lei is too strong, causing the Heavenly Demon Puppets to be unable to withstand and be scrapped. On the contrary, after absorbing the energy of the Dan Lei, the Heavenly Demon Puppets seemed to have been nourished, and their quality has been greatly improved, and the light on their bodies has become brighter.
With a rolling sound of thunder like thousands of troops galloping past, the powerful Nine-Colored Dan Lei was finally successfully taken over.
At this moment, there is still some violent energy between heaven and earth, which shuttles freely in the air. Fortunately, no one actively violates these energies, and they will gradually dissipate without causing any substantial damage. Everything around is still safe and sound.
Xiao Ling looked up at the sky, watching the pill thunder gradually dissipate. He suddenly stretched out his hand and clenched it, and the powerful soul power surged out like a surging wave, instantly trapping the pill that turned into a stream of light and tried to escape. Then, he pulled hard, and the pill returned to his side obediently.
Xiao Ling quickly sealed the pill in the jade bottle, and then turned to look at Su Li and others who were walking towards him with joy.
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission, Master Su Li, come and check this pill."
Xiao Ling said solemnly, and handed the jade bottle containing the pill to Su Li.
Su Li took the jade bottle, first gently rubbed it with her hand, then carefully took out the pill, put it in her palm and carefully examined it.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the pill, Su Li breathed a sigh of relief, put the pill back into the jade bottle, carefully put it away, and handed it to Xiao Ling again.
"You will be needed to cooperate with the Grand Elder later, so you should keep this elixir." Su Li said to Xiao Ling with a relieved smile on her face.
Xiao Ling took the jade bottle and carefully put it away. He looked at Su Li and nodded slightly: "Since I have the trust of Valley Master Su Li, I will not let you down."
At this time, Qing Lin came to Xiao Ling with light lotus steps, like a gentle breeze, and then naturally took one of his arms, looking intimate and cute. She tilted her head slightly, looking at Xiao Ling with eyes full of admiration and dependence.
Xiao Ling smiled fondly, and reached out to gently rub Qing Lin's silky hair.
Then, his eyes passed Qing Lin and looked at the figure in white clothes following behind Qing Lin.
"Miss Yuxi, I haven't seen you for more than a year. You have improved a lot in your cultivation." Xiao Ling said with a smile, and that smile was like the warm spring sun, warm and gentle.
"Master Xiao Ling, please don't tease me."
Ning Yuxi bowed slightly and saluted. She was graceful, like a blooming white lotus.
Her tone was ethereal, but with a hint of helpless emotion, "Compared to you, my improvement is not worth mentioning."
She raised her head and looked at Xiao Ling with a complicated look in her eyes.
When she first met Xiao Ling, Ning Yuxi felt that he was definitely not an ordinary person. At that time, Xiao Ling was already an extremely evil person in her eyes.
But she didn't expect that when they met again today, Xiao Ling could actually refine an eighth-grade nine-color elixir. Even she herself had lived for more than 20 years, and it was the first time that she could see an eighth-grade nine-color elixir with her own eyes.
Facing this peer, Ning Yuxi felt like a frog in a well looking up at the moon, or a mayfly looking up at the sky. The insurmountable gap made her feel ashamed.
Seeing Ning Yuxi like this, Xiao Ling smiled helplessly. In fact, Xiao Ling could more or less guess what Ning Yuxi was thinking, but he couldn't say anything.
Then, he cast his eyes on Su Li on the side, and his expression became serious: "Master Su Li, time is running out, please take me to the residence of the Supreme Elder now."
Su Li nodded solemnly, but did not leave immediately. She first walked towards the elders of the surrounding Sound Valley and whispered something.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling turned to Qinglin and whispered to her, asking her to wait for him here and ask Liekongzuo to follow Qinglin.
Immediately, Xiao Ling took Qinglin's hand and walked to Ning Yuxi, saying sincerely: "Yuxi, Qinglin is in your hands. You are from Yin Valley and are familiar with this place. I believe you can take good care of her."
"Master Xiao Ling, don't worry, I will take good care of Qinglin." Ning Yuxi smiled and responded. Qinglin saved her life, and their relationship has always been good. Even if Xiao Ling didn't give any special instructions, she would do her best to entertain Qinglin when Qinglin arrived in Yin Valley.
After the two of them had explained everything, Su Li gestured to Xiao Ling, and then took the lead to walk towards the deepest part of Yin Valley.
Xiao Ling took a deep breath and quickly followed. The figures of the two gradually disappeared on the slightly mysterious road in the depths of Yin Valley, leaving only the eyes of the people around them with expectation and worry.
…
As he went deeper into the Sound Valley, Xiao Ling was keenly aware that the number of disciples patrolling was gradually increasing. These disciples were dressed in uniform, with alert eyes and vigorous steps, and they patrolled their respective areas in an orderly manner.
But when the patrolling female disciples saw that it was the Valley Master Su Li who led the way, they immediately flashed awe in their eyes, and they all saluted respectfully, without any intention of stopping them, and let the two people fly by quickly.
Not long after, Su Li brought Xiao Ling to a solitary peak. The two of them descended and slowly landed on the top of the solitary peak. This solitary peak towered into the clouds, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
On the top of the peak, a magnificent palace stood quietly.
The walls of the palace were made of huge white jade stones, reflecting a soft and mysterious light under the sunlight, as if each piece of jade contained endless spiritual power.
The eaves of the palace were raised, like a crane spreading its wings to fly, and the wind chimes hanging on the eaves swayed gently in the breeze, making clear and pleasant sounds, like fairy music.
Just by looking at it from a distance, Xiao Ling keenly noticed that there were multiple restrictions around this palace.
Those restrictions were like invisible nets, intertwined and superimposed, exuding a dangerous atmosphere.
If someone tried to force their way in, even a high-level Dou Zun would be trapped in it, and there would be no way to escape in a short time.
As expected, this magnificent palace in front of us should be the residence of the Supreme Elder of Yin Valley.
After the two of them landed lightly, Su Li stepped forward, and Xiao Ling followed closely behind, walking towards the towering palace not far ahead.
The ground under his feet was a smooth stone slab. With every step he took, he could feel a faint energy fluctuation coming from under the stone slab, as if this lonely peak had its own pulse.
The surrounding clouds and mists floated slowly around them like a veil, occasionally a few strands of them playfully wrapped around their ankles and quickly dissipated.
The two strolled for a while and came to the front of the palace door. The two palace doors were majestic and solemn, and looked to be seven or eight feet high.
Su Li stopped in front of the palace door and took out a token with her slender fingers. The token emitted a soft light, and she gently injected Dou Qi into it.
Suddenly, the light on the token became stronger, and a bright beam of light shot out of the token like an arrow, accurately shooting at a groove in the center of the palace door.
The moment the beam hit the palace door, it immediately triggered a series of reactions. The light patterns on the palace door spread outward from the center at a visible speed. These light patterns seemed to have their own life and began to interweave and entangle.
As the light patterns spread and intertwined, the palace door made several low and powerful sounds. Then, the two huge palace doors slowly opened inward... (End of this chapter)
