Chapter 185 Zi Yan's inexplicable feeling
Reverend Tianhuo tightly grasped the "Soul Returning Pill", feeling the surging soul power contained within it, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
This pill is undoubtedly a timely help to him now.
Under the gazes of Xiao Ling and Yao Chen, Venerable Skyfire slowly put the pill into his mouth.
The pill melted in his mouth, turning into a warm energy that quickly spread throughout his body.
The soul body, which was originally a little illusory, seemed to gradually become solid under the nourishment of this energy.
Yao Chen and Xiao Ling could both feel the changes in Skyfire Reverend's soul power, and their eyes were filled with anticipation.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and only the faint sound of breathing remained in the entire alchemy room.
After a moment, an expression of surprise appeared on Lord Skyfire's face.
Not only did his soul body become more solid, it even emitted a faint light, and he looked much more energetic.
"Friend Xiao Ling, this 'Soul Guiding Pill' is indeed magical. My soul power has been restored a lot!" Venerable Skyfire said excitedly, with a gleam of gratitude in his eyes.
Xiao Ling raised his lips slightly and answered gently: "The formula of this 'Soul Guiding Pill' was carefully developed by Yao Lao and I after much discussion. Its efficacy is naturally extraordinary."
Upon hearing this, Skyfire Venerable turned to Yao Chen and bowed, "Haha, you are worthy of being Brother Yao Chen. Your contribution to the refining of this elixir cannot be ignored."
Yao Chen waved his hands aside and said modestly, "No, no, I just provided some of my own insights into pharmacological knowledge and shared some unique experiences as a soul body. The real credit lies in Xiao Ling's own innovation and practice."
At this moment, a slightly childish but eager and joyful shout came from outside the house: "Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling!"
The voice was like a gentle breeze, with a barely perceptible tremor, revealing the anticipation and excitement in the heart of the caller.
Xiao Ling was slightly stunned, then closed his eyes and slowly extended his soul perception to the outside of the alchemy room.
The soul's perception is like an invisible net, capturing every subtle fluctuation in the outside world.
Soon, he spotted the familiar figure, it was none other than Zi Yan.
Zi Yan's figure looked particularly vivid under the sunlight. Her purple hair seemed to be given life by the sunlight, swaying gently as she ran, sparkling with a charming luster.
The purple gemstone-like eyes are bright and smart, and look very lively.
Her fair face has a healthy glow, making her look vibrant and full of energy.
She was wearing a lavender long skirt with light blue patterns on the hem. It swayed gently with Zi Yan's light steps, like a blooming violet, swaying gracefully in the wind.
As the childish shouts outside the house got closer and closer, the door of the alchemy room was suddenly knocked open by a considerable force. Zi Yan's figure was like a flash of purple lightning, instantly breaking the tranquility of the room.
Her steps were light and eager, her long purple hair drew a graceful arc in the air, and she fell directly into Xiao Ling's arms.
Zi Yan's arms were tightly wrapped around Xiao Ling's waist, her cheek pressed against his chest, and her skirt fluttered in the air like waves. The whole picture was full of movement and warmth.
Zi Yan rubbed Xiao Ling's chest gently with her cheek, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath, as if savoring the familiar fragrance of medicinal herbs.
"Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling!" Her voice was filled with a hint of coquetry and a hint of complaint, "You've been in seclusion for so long, I almost miss you to death." She pouted and continued, "I always feel like something is missing when I can't eat the pills you made yourself. The pills made by others don't have the special taste that you make.
Xiao Ling was a little caught off guard by Zi Yan's sudden affectionate behavior, but he soon showed a doting smile and patted her back gently: "Okay, okay, I will make you some pills later, and I guarantee you will have enough to eat."
After getting Xiao Ling's promise, Zi Yan showed a happy smile on her face, "Hey, you said it yourself, you are not allowed to regret it."
After finishing her words, Zi Yan let go of Xiao Ling, turned around and saw Yao Chen. She waved her hand carelessly: "Old Yao, long time no see, you are still so energetic!"
Yao Chen was already used to Zi Yan's straightforward personality. He smiled and shook his head: "Girl Zi Yan, when will you change your temper? You make such a big noise every time you appear. Learn more from Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian. Girls should be more quiet."
Zi Yan stuck out her tongue and made a face: "I can't change it, I was born like this."
Immediately, she turned her gaze to the Skyfire Venerable beside Yao Chen, with curiosity in her eyes: "Who is this? Xiao Ling, why don't you introduce him to me?"
Xiao Ling introduced with a smile: "Zi Yan, this is Senior Yao Tianhuo..."
Afterwards, Xiao Ling told Zi Yan the general circumstances of his encounter with Lord Skyfire.
After listening to Xiao Ling's narration, Zi Yan felt a slight ripple in her heart, but she did not show too much emotion.
She smiled at the Skyfire Venerable and asked in a relaxed tone, "Senior Yao Tianhuo, I am quite curious about the underground magma world. Can you tell me more about the situation there?"
Zi Yan vaguely felt that beneath the magma world beneath Canaan College, there seemed to be a subtle connection with herself.
Hearing Zi Yan's question, Skyfire Venerable smiled slightly. He could feel Zi Yan's curiosity, but at the same time he also knew the dangers of the underground magma world.
He stroked his beard and spoke slowly, with a hint of reminiscence in his tone: "The underground magma world is a place full of dangers and unknowns. It was because I sensed the breath of the Fallen Heart Flame that I decided to explore deeper. But in fact, I did not reach the deepest part of the magma world."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Zi Yan's eyes, but was soon replaced by curiosity: "So what did you encounter in the magma world? Did you find any special clues or secrets?"
Skyfire Venerable shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his expression: "I was attacked by a group of fire lizardmen there, including some Dou Zun-level warriors. They were powerful and numerous. Although I managed to escape, only my soul was left. As for the deeper secrets, I think that is beyond our reach at the moment."
"So many years have passed, and I have spent most of my time muddled through in the space I created. It was not until recently that Xiao Ling brought me out of that magma world. I don't know much about that place."
After listening to the narration of Lord Skyfire, Zi Yan felt a little disappointed, but she did not pay too much attention to the matter.
Then he showed Xiao Ling an expectant smile: "Hey, Xiao Ling, can you help me refine a pill now?
Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Of course, what do you want to eat?" Zi Yan mysteriously took out a strange fruit that was emitting a faint light from the storage ring and handed it to Xiao Ling:
"This is the Dragon Scale Fragrance Fruit that I just got from the Monster Mountain Range not long ago. I snatched it from a pair of evil-eyed white tigers who had reached the sixth level of strength. It took me a lot of effort."
Xiao Ling took the dragon scale fragrant fruit, felt the powerful vitality contained in the fruit and a trace of the unique breath of the dragon clan, and smiled, "It seems that Xian'er is right. You went out to find the trace of the dragon scale fragrant fruit. It seems that you are lucky and succeeded."
"Although the Dragon Scale Fragrant Fruit is not of high quality, it is very rare. What kind of elixir do you want me to make?"
Zi Yan's eyes flashed with cunning: "I want you to use this dragon scale fragrant fruit to refine the dragon scale body tempering pill."
Dragon Scale Body Tempering Pill is a fifth-grade high-level pill that is carefully refined with dragon scale fragrant fruit as the main ingredient and a variety of rare herbs.
Its effects are mainly in three aspects: first, it significantly improves the physical quality of Warcraft, including strength, speed, endurance and defense;
The second is that it can give the monster a trace of dragon blood power, but the stronger the monster's original dragon blood is, the weaker the effect of the elixir;
Third, this elixir has almost no effect on humans, because the physiques of humans and monsters are very different, and they are unable to effectively absorb and utilize the special ingredients in it.
Xiao Ling nodded slightly: "In that case, I will prepare to refine it now. However, the refining of the Dragon Scale Body Tempering Pill will take some time, so you have to wait patiently."
Zi Yan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she couldn't wait to say, "Hey, that's great, let's get started!"
Shaking his head helplessly, Xiao Ling walked lightly to the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron, which still retained some warmth, and began to help Zi Yan refine the Dragon Scale Body Tempering Pills she needed.
Zi Yan stood aside, watching Xiao Ling's every move intently, her eyes flashing with anticipation for the upcoming elixir.
Xiao Ling poured the strange fire into the ancient Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron with ease. The flames leaped up in an instant, illuminating his focused face.
Then, he gently placed the dragon scale fragrant fruit into the cauldron, and its dragon scale-like luster gleamed in the firelight.
Afterwards, he took out several auxiliary medicinal herbs from the ring and skillfully began the process of refining the pill.
Xiao Ling's movements were smooth and each gesture seemed so confident and skillful.
The strange fire rolled and surged in the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron, like a living spirit, lively and full of spirituality.
As time passed, the aroma emanating from the cauldron became stronger and stronger, and the entire alchemy room was filled with a refreshing atmosphere.
In less than half an hour, Xiao Ling completed the refining.
He waved his hand gently, and a strong energy accompanied by the fragrance of pills gushed out. Round pills lay quietly in the cauldron, emitting a faint light.
Seeing this, Zi Yan couldn't help but cheer. She quickly stepped forward and took the pill from Xiao Ling, her face filled with unconcealable joy: "Xiao Ling, you are awesome!"
Excited, Zi Yan couldn't help but kiss Xiao Ling on the cheek to show her gratitude.
Xiao Ling was slightly stunned, then smiled and shook his head. He was already accustomed to Zi Yan's intimate behavior. "If it's not enough, I will make you some more pills later."
“Hehe, not now. After I finish eating this pill, you can help me refine some pills.”
After the voice fell, Zi Yan seemed to suddenly remember something. She was slightly stunned, scratched her head, and said a little embarrassedly:
"By the way, Xiao Ling, Senior Sister Han Yue went back to Canaan College with me not long ago. She is now staying with Qing Lin, Xiao Yixian and the others. She told me that she wanted to talk to you about something, but I forgot to tell her because I was so happy just now."
Xiao Ling was a little speechless about Zi Yan forgetting things, but he couldn't help but feel curious: "Han Yue is looking for me? Is there something important?"
He thought to himself that perhaps because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Han Yue was finding the loneliness unbearable.
Shaking his head and not thinking any more, Xiao Ling gestured to Venerable Tianhuo and Yao Chen and returned Venerable Tianhuo's storage ring to him, leaving the two old men to continue communicating in the alchemy room.
Afterwards, he and Zi Yan left the alchemy room and walked towards the courtyard.
……
In the courtyard, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin were talking in low voices. Both of them had gentle smiles on their faces, and bursts of silver bell-like laughter could be heard from time to time.
Seeing Xiao Ling and Zi Yan coming, their conversation came to an abrupt halt and they all turned their eyes to the two of them.
Xiao Ling smiled at the two women, then took Zi Yan to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard.
Qinglin smiled and served them some refreshments. Xiao Ling took a bite and praised it highly: "Qinglin, this cake is really well made. You have great skills."
After hearing this, Qing Lin smiled shyly: "Thank you for the compliment, Master. You are overly flattering. These are some new snacks I have learned to make recently. I hope you like them."
Zi Yan also picked up a piece of dessert and took a bite. Her eyes lit up: "It's delicious. Qing Lin, your cooking skills are really good..."
As several people chatted, the atmosphere gradually became relaxed and pleasant.
After tasting the delicious food, Xiao Ling suddenly remembered that Zi Yan had mentioned that Han Yue wanted to see him for something, so he asked Xiao Yixian, "By the way, Xian'er, didn't Senior Han Yue want to see me for something? Where is she? Why didn't I see her?"
Zi Yan blinked and interrupted, "Yeah, why didn't I see Han Yue? She was so mysterious before and refused to tell me what was going on."
The Little Medical Fairy sighed softly and replied, "Senior Sister Han Yue did wait for you here for a while, but since you didn't come, she thought you might be busy, so she left first. Not long after she left, you guys came out."
Xiao Ling was a little surprised. He didn't expect to miss it. He shook his head helplessly, "Something happened just now, which delayed me for a while."
After hearing this, Zi Yan blinked and said to Xiao Ling: "Xiao Ling, since Han Yue wants to see you about something, why don't you go find her? Maybe she is in her own yard now."
Xiao Ling nodded, thinking that what Zi Yan said made sense: "Okay, I'll go find her now, you guys can chat first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ling stood up and walked out of the courtyard, preparing to go to Han Yue's yard to see if he could find her and find out what Han Yue wanted to see him about.
Zi Yan stayed in the courtyard, continuing to drink tea and chat with Qing Lin Little Medical Fairy, enjoying the peaceful afternoon.
