Chapter 108 Retreat
After taking the storage ring handed over by Zi Yan, Xiao Ling examined it carefully and found that it was just as Zi Yan said, mostly containing some medicinal herbs, as well as a few weapons and some martial arts skills.
Xiao Ling took out a few sweet-tasting herbs and handed them to Zi Yan, "These are more suitable for your taste. Consider them as your reward for collecting herbs for me."
After taking these herbs, Zi Yan's smile deepened. "Hehe, then I will accept these herbs with reluctance."
After saying that, Zi Yan picked up a fruit, put it in her mouth and started chewing.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling shook his head with amusement, "Eat slowly, don't choke, no one is competing with you for these herbs."
The two of them played and joked as they walked, and soon walked into the living room.
Seeing Xiao Ling and Zi Yan coming, Yao Ye, who was originally sitting on a chair, brightened up. She stood up, walked in front of Xiao Ling, and spoke first: "Master Xiao Ling, I am the eldest princess of the royal family. Yao Ye, I am sorry to have disturbed your practice by coming to visit you today. I am a little rude."
Waving his hands, Xiao Ling showed a faint smile on his face, "Nothing, I just finished my training..."
The two chatted for a while and became a little familiar with each other.
Through chatting with Yao Ye, Xiao Ling gained a better understanding of the Imperial Capital, no longer limited to the description in the original novel.
After feeling that the time was right, Yao Ye stated the purpose of his visit, "Master Xiao Ling, we have prepared three batches of medicinal materials for refining the Po Zong Dan. I wonder if you are free now."
Yao Ye took out a storage ring and handed it to Xiao Ling. Apparently, the three medicinal materials for refining the Pozong Pill were stored in this storage ring.
Reaching out to take the ring, Xiao Ling checked it and found that it indeed contained the medicinal materials for three portions of Pozong Pills, and there were also some extra precious medicinal materials. It should be a gift from the royal family.
After making sure that there was enough medicinal materials, Xiao Ling put the ring away.
Xiao Ling took out a porcelain bottle containing the Po Zong Dan from his ring and handed it to Yao Ye. "You don't have to refine it. I have a ready-made Po Zong Dan on hand. I think Jia Lao can't wait any longer. You can take this Po Zong Dan back with you."
After hearing Xiao Ling's words, Yao Ye was a little unresponsive. Is it still possible to play like this?
After a slight pause, Yao Ye smiled and reached out to take the porcelain bottle that Xiao Ling handed to him.
Although he is not an alchemist, Yao Ye has no problem identifying the authenticity of elixirs.
After confirming that this was indeed a genuine sixth-grade peak sect-breaking pill, Yao Ye carefully put it into his ring.
"In that case, I won't disturb Master Xiao Ling. You can come to the royal family when you are free." After greeting Xiao Ling, Yao Ye turned and left, heading towards the imperial city.
Originally, Yao Ye planned to invite Xiao Ling to the palace to refine pills. This would not only ensure that there would be no accidents in the refining of the pills, but also allow him to communicate more with Xiao Ling and deepen his favor towards the royal family.
However, now that he had obtained the Po Zong Dan, there was no reason to invite the other party again. Besides, a treasure like the Po Zong Dan had to be handed over to his great-grandfather first.
Seeing that Yao Ye had left, Xiao Ling withdrew his gaze.
Now that the conditions promised to the royal family have been met, it is time to go into seclusion for a while. Xiao Ling took out a ring and handed it to Zi Yan, "I will go into seclusion for a while, which should take about half a year. These are the pills I prepared for you, enough for you and Rayquaza to eat for a year. If you finish them early, go find Yao Lao to help you refine them."
Zi Yan and the other two girls already knew Yao Chen and knew that he was a super powerful man in his lifetime and that he was now Qing Lin's teacher.
Zi Yan took the storage ring that Xiao Ling handed to her and nodded, "I understand. I heard from old man Yao that swallowing strange fire is very dangerous. You have to be careful and don't get hurt."
Touching Zi Yan's little head, Xiao Ling said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't get hurt."
After talking to Zi Yan for a few words, Xiao Ling found Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin and told them that he was going to go into seclusion.
Xiao Ling gave a few instructions to Zi Yan and the others. This retreat to devour the strange fire would take a long time, so arrangements for Zi Yan and the others had already been made, and now he just emphasized it again.
Before the retreat, Xiao Ling met with Yao Chen and said, "Old Yao, during my retreat, please take care of them for me."
Yao Chen stroked his beard and a faint smile appeared on his face. "Leave this matter to me. I will teach the three of them how to practice and will not let them waste their talents."
Although he was surprised that Xiao Ling had found a second strange fire, Yao Chen was still very happy. After absorbing the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire, Xiao Ling would have two strange fires. When he absorbed his own Bone Spirit Cold Fire, he would be able to control three strange fires at the same time and use the most advanced body refining method to refine a new body for himself.
"Well, thank you very much, Master Yao. After I come out of seclusion, I will get a Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva to restore your soul." After nodding with a smile and leaving a word, Xiao Ling walked into the training room.
……
As Xiao Ling entered seclusion, the lives of the three women became peaceful.
In addition to daily training, they fight against each other and practice practical experience.
Although the days are rather dull and boring, this is the daily situation for practitioners in the Douqi Continent.
Qinglin and Xiao Yixian also made great progress in their cultivation under the guidance of Yao Chen.
Without activating the evil poison body, Xiao Yixian spent four months using the foundation-building spirit liquid and the Yellow Dragon Pill to improve her cultivation from the fourth stage of Dou Qi to the ninth stage of Dou Qi. After taking a Qi-gathering powder made by Yao Chen, she successfully advanced to the level of Douzhe.
After that, he took the poison on his own initiative and activated his poisonous body. By continuously absorbing the poison, within two months, his cultivation level was raised from a fighter to the peak of a great fighter.
Such a speed of advancement really shocked Yao Chen. The improvement of the cultivation level of the Evil Poison Body was truly terrifying. No wonder he had heard before that the Lord of the Glacier Valley had refined himself into an acquired Evil Poison Body.
During these six months, Qing Lin's cultivation has also greatly improved. With the help of the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils, he has advanced from the fifth stage of fighting spirit to the peak of fighting master within half a year.
Although Qinglin's cultivation level improvement speed is not as fast as that of Xiao Yixian who has activated the evil poison body, with the help of Ziyan and Liekongzuo, he used the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils to subdue three fifth-level snake monsters, namely a fifth-level earth rock snake king, a fifth-level black water snake, and a fifth-level six-winged black snake king. The three snake pets complement each other and can exert their peak strength in most environments. It is not difficult to match some low-level Douhuang.
