Chapter 262: Refining the Demonic Poison Spots, Sorting Out
In this quiet courtyard, Medusa's words made everyone present feel her firm will and courage. Xiao Ling was no exception, he also felt deep admiration for Medusa's straightforwardness and tenacity.
Although Medusa seemed to be understating it, Xiao Ling knew that the secret method of the snake people, the process of using strange fire to evolve blood, was actually extremely dangerous. It was like burning one's body directly with strange fire, and enduring unimaginable pain.
Xiao Ling knew the power of strange fire better than anyone else. He had swallowed five strange fires before, and the burning pain still made him feel palpitations even when he recalled it now.
Whenever Xiao Ling swallowed the strange fire, in order to control the violent energy and alleviate his pain, he always had to rely on various elixirs and some special spiritual objects to resist the scorching burning of the strange fire.
Not to mention that Medusa intends to use the strange fire to evolve her own bloodline. This is almost an unprotected direct battle with the fire.
In the process of trying to use the strange fire to evolve her bloodline, Medusa will face the ruthless burning of the flames directly. The pain is so severe that it is difficult to describe in words, far exceeding what Xiao Ling endured when he swallowed the strange fire. Moreover, this kind of evolution is accompanied by huge risks. If you are not careful, you may die in the sea of fire and everything will become nothingness.
Despite this, for the future of the snake people and to break her own limits, Medusa is still willing to bravely meet this challenge. Her courage and determination are undoubtedly one of her many shining points, which makes people can't help but be moved.
Medusa's expectant eyes were fixed on Xiao Ling, making him feel helpless. He shook his head slightly, and then said to Medusa: "Since you have made up your mind, I am willing to lend you a hand. However, I still have some matters to deal with. I have to stay in seclusion for a few days, and then I have to go out to get some necessary things."
"After I have dealt with all these matters, come back to me. If you still have the same plan, I will lend you the strange fire to help you evolve your bloodline. I will also help you control the intensity of the strange fire, thereby increasing your success rate in using the secret method. Even if something unexpected happens, I will take action in time to ensure your safety so that you don't lose your life."
After receiving Xiao Ling's affirmative answer, Medusa felt much more relaxed. A glimmer of gratitude flashed in her eyes, and a smile appeared unconsciously at the corner of her mouth. She said to Xiao Ling: "Thank you, Xiao Ling. You will always be a friend of the snake people."
Medusa had already made up her mind to use the secret method to purify her blood. Even if she had to wait for Xiao Ling for a while, she would not change her decision.
This determination comes from her deep expectations for the future of the snake people and her unlimited pursuit of her own potential.
Medusa was determined to surpass the limitations of her talent. She didn't want to stay at the Dou Zong level anymore. She recalled her sister Zi Yan. When they first met, Zi Yan was only a fifth-level monster. Now she was about to break through to the seventh level and might even surpass her. This made the always proud Medusa feel pressured.
She longed to improve her strength, not only for her own growth, but also for the future of the Snake People. Although the Snake People had found a foothold in the Gama Empire, it was still far from what Medusa expected.
She has her sights set further. The ultimate goal of every Medusa Queen is to lead the snake people back to their homeland, the Beast Realm of Zhongzhou.
In order to achieve this goal, Medusa knew she needed a stronger force. Only by becoming stronger could she lead her people to prosperity and freedom.
"Haha, we have always been friends, haven't we?" Xiao Ling responded with a slight smile.
Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Medusa felt an inexplicable joy in her heart, but she did not show it. She stood up and said calmly: "The snake people still have a lot of things waiting for me to deal with. The war is over, and the people should return to their own places of residence."
After saying this, Medusa left the courtyard without stopping for long. Her figure gradually disappeared outside the door, her steps firm and powerful.
Watching Medusa leave, Xiao Ling retracted his gaze, turned to Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin, and said to them: "I have to deal with the matter of the demon poison spot first, which should take a day or two."
He went on to say, "After I finish, I plan to go to Mulan Valley, Jinyan Sect, and Wanxie Sect. Their defenses are not as strong as before, so it's a good time for me to act. I plan to take away all the resources they have collected over the years without anyone noticing. They dared to attack the Gama Empire, so they have to pay a price."
When Zi Yan heard Xiao Ling's plan, her eyes lit up immediately. She was very excited about this kind of sneaking into the treasure house and plundering it. She jumped up excitedly and said to Xiao Ling eagerly: "I want to go too, I want to go too! Xiao Ling, take me with you next time you go, it sounds so exciting!"
Xiao Ling shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "I plan to act alone this time and will not be away for too long. You can go to Medusa and wait for me. After I finish dealing with these things, I will come to you."
He then turned to Xiao Yixian, with a hint of seriousness in his tone: "Xian'er, please inform the others for me later. I want to use this place for retreat, and I don't want to be disturbed by anyone during this period."
After hearing Xiao Ling's instructions, Xiao Yixian and Qinglin both nodded in agreement, while Zi Yan lowered her head in a somewhat disappointed mood. However, he did not refute Xiao Ling's proposal. She was also very happy to play with Medusa, and soon regained her smile.
Xiao Yixian nodded and responded firmly: "Okay, I will go and inform them. We will go to the snake people's territory to wait for you, don't keep us waiting too long." There was a hint of playfulness in her words. She hadn't seen Xiao Ling for so long, and she missed him a little.
"Don't worry, Xian'er, I will be back as soon as possible. When I finish these things, we will have a good reunion." Xiao Ling assured Xiao Yixian with a smile, his eyes full of warmth and expectation.
Immediately, Xiao Ling waved to Xiao Yixian and the others, turned around and walked into a temporary practice room. His figure quickly disappeared behind the door, and he began his next closed-door practice.
Seeing that Xiao Ling had left, Xiao Yixian, Qinglin and Ziyan did not stay in the courtyard for long. They acted quickly, conveyed Xiao Ling's instructions to the officers stationed in the fortress, and then headed in the direction of Medusa.
……
As soon as he entered the training room, Xiao Ling immediately started to deal with the problem of the demon poison spots. If he wanted to turn this poison into a boost to his cultivation, he would need to use some means.
Xiao Ling unbuttoned his shirt and took it off, revealing a black spot on his chest. This was the mark caused by the poisonous spot of the Scorpion Rock.
Xiao Ling stared at the black spot on his chest. It seemed to have its own will and was trying to spread its poison around. But every time the poison tried to spread, it was firmly blocked by an invisible barrier and could not move forward. Despite this, the poison spot continued to struggle, seemingly unwilling to give up.
In the past, in an emergency, Xiao Ling simply sealed the toxin to prevent it from spreading. But now, he needs to solve this problem thoroughly.
Driven by Xiao Ling's thoughts, the strange fire in his body flowed slowly toward his chest like a docile snake. When it touched the black spot, it made a subtle "chi chi" sound, as if ice melted when it met fire. At the same time, a strand of black poison line rose from the spot, like evaporated poison gas, and a stream of pure fighting spirit flowed into his body along his meridians.
Xiao Ling immediately felt the flow of this Dou Qi, and he did not hesitate to activate his Burning Technique technique and began to absorb this pure power. A satisfied smile appeared on his face. This Dou Qi absorbed directly from a Dou Zong master, its purity and effect, was incomparable to any panacea.
"As expected of a four-star Dou Zong, this gift really surprises me." Xiao Ling secretly admired in his heart. He could feel the huge energy contained in this magic poison spot. "Haha, Xie Bi Yan, I would like to call you the strongest experience gift package after my old friend Han Feng."
As Xiao Ling absorbed the pure Dou Qi energy, he began to concentrate on activating the strange fire in his body to refine the poisonous spots on his chest. His eyes were slightly closed, and a focused expression appeared on his face. The air around him seemed to feel this power and fluctuated slightly.
As Xiao Ling exerted all his strength, the strange fire in his body seemed to be given life, and its strength was several times greater than before. The strange fire turned into a huge fire net, tightly wrapping the black magic poison spot. Every thread of the fire net emitted a blazing light, and they intertwined and entangled around the magic poison spot, forming an airtight cage.
The demon poison spot felt an unprecedented threat, and it began to struggle frantically, trying to escape the restraints of the strange fire. From the black spot, thin black poisonous lines continued to emerge. These poisonous lines were full of toxicity, and they tried to corrode the fire net formed by the strange fire, looking for a chance to escape. However, the power of the strange fire was not something that the demon poison could contend with? Whenever the black poisonous lines touched the fire net, they would be ruthlessly evaporated and turned into nothingness. Not only was the fire net not corroded, but it became hotter and stronger during the struggle of the demon poison spot.
A look of concentration appeared on Xiao Ling's face, his eyes were closed tightly, and he was concentrating on controlling the strange fire.
As time passed, the struggle of the demon poison spot gradually weakened, and finally stopped completely. Under the continuous refining of the strange fire, it finally turned into a ball of extremely pure energy, emitting a faint light, quietly suspended in Xiao Ling's chest.
Xiao Ling slowly opened his eyes, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. This ball of energy contained Xie Biyan's lifelong cultivation, which was undoubtedly a huge fortune.
But he was not in a hurry to refine it. Instead, he carefully sealed it in his body, preparing to absorb it gradually in the days to come, so as not to burden his body by absorbing too much at one time.
As the last trace of the strange fire in the training room dissipated, Xiao Ling slowly opened his eyes, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
He stood up, tidied his clothes quickly, and then reached out from his waist to take out two storage rings, which were the spoils obtained from Mulan Sanlao and Yan Luotian. As for Xie Biyan's storage ring, it had been given to Xiao Yixian and was not in his hands at the moment.
Xiao Ling frowned slightly, and a wisp of almost invisible soul power slowly seeped out from his forehead, like a thin thread, quietly penetrating into the storage ring of the three elders of Mulan. The three elders had already fallen, and the soul imprints they left on the storage rings naturally became fragile and could not block Xiao Ling's soul power.
Xiao Ling's soul perception was like a deft hand, easily penetrating the defense of the ring and quickly searching inside. His perception wandered in the space inside the ring, and every item could not escape his detection.
After a while, he flipped his palm lightly, and three scrolls made of white animal bones appeared in his hand. On the surface of these scrolls, there were several blood-red characters engraved, and they seemed to be condensed from blood, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
"Three Beasts Savage Art." Xiao Ling's eyes swept across the scroll and whispered the name. This was exactly the unique skill of the three elders of Mulan, and now it became his trophy.
Xiao Ling casually unfolded the three scrolls and found that the contents of each volume were different. The "Three Beasts Savage Art" is divided into three volumes, upper, middle and lower, which are treasured by the three elders of Mulan Valley. The handwriting on the scroll is simple and mysterious, and every stroke seems to contain a trace of time.
However, Xiao Ling only glanced at it roughly and did not study it in depth.
Although the three "Three Beasts Savage Art" techniques are extremely powerful and can gather the power of three people to enhance their strength, there is an unacceptable side effect during the practice. The practitioner will temporarily turn into a half-beast, which is undoubtedly unacceptable to Xiao Ling and his companions who pay attention to their image.
The skills that Xiao Ling and his companions have are enough for them, and they don't need these so-called "Three Beasts Savage Art" to improve their strength. In the eyes of outsiders, these scrolls may be priceless treasures, but in Xiao Ling's opinion, they are not very useful, and it is a pity to eat them and throw them away.
Xiao Ling planned to leave these three scrolls in the library of Canaan College after returning to the college. Although these scrolls were not suitable for him, there might be others in the college who could benefit from them, or the elders of the college could research a more suitable method for cultivation.
Xiao Ling shook his head gently, no longer hesitating, and put the three scrolls containing the Three Beasts Savage Secret into his ring properly.
Then, he stretched out his hand, and Yan Luotian's storage ring fell steadily into his palm.
Then, Xiao Ling closed his eyes, and his soul force slowly penetrated into the interior of the ring like a gentle breeze. His spirit wandered in the space of the ring, feeling the breath of each item.
As Xiao Ling's fingers moved slightly, a golden scroll was gently pulled out by his soul power.
This scroll is made of carefully selected animal skins, with a layer of fine texture on the surface, revealing a primitive and simple beauty. The golden carving pattern painted on the scroll is lifelike, and the soaring posture of the wings seems to be able to break free from the constraints and soar into the sky at any time.
Especially the pair of wings, every feather is depicted in great detail, and the golden lines sparkle brightly under the light, as if you can really feel their lightness dancing in the wind.
As Xiao Ling's mind moved, he gently spread out the scroll in his hand, and a few large golden characters jumped into his eyes. They were like gems inlaid on the scroll, emitting an alluring light.
"Nine-winged geese".
He whispered these five words, with a hint of curiosity and anticipation in his voice, and then he began to read the contents of the scroll attentively.
As described in the original book, this "Nine-line Wings of the Sky Goose" is a unique secret manual for making flying fighting skills. The scroll describes in detail how to skillfully combine various rare materials, especially using the wings of monsters as the core material, to create a fighting skill that allows people to fly freely in the air.
The article emphasizes that the higher the quality of the Warcraft wings used to make fighting skills, the better the performance of the final flying fighting skills will be.
However, this secret method of creating flying fighting skills can prove the extraordinary value of "Nine Wings of the Sky Goose". After all, the method of refining flying fighting skills has long been lost. Although it is not ruled out that other people also possess this method, it is definitely very rare.
Xiao Ling's eyes quickly swept across the scroll, and his mood became more and more cheerful as he read more. He remembered that in the Black Emperor Sect's treasure house, there was the body of a Sky Demon Phoenix that was about to break through to the eighth level, and the pair of wings of the Sky Demon Phoenix were the perfect material for refining flying fighting skills.
He secretly planned in his heart that he would definitely go to the Black Emperor Sect the next time he returned to the Black Horn Region. There was not only the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva that Xiao Yixian needed, but also the body of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, all of which were treasures that he was determined to obtain.
Xiao Ling first put away the scroll of "Nine Wings of the Heavenly Goose", then took out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner from the system space and placed it aside.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling flipped his palm, and a ball of black light as deep as the night appeared in his hand. It was suspended quietly, as if containing a miniature universe.
This ball of black light was obtained from the Iron Protector, and countless souls were imprisoned in it. Their number was astonishing, at least several thousand, and among them there were many powerful ones who had reached the level of Dou Wang or Dou Huang in their lifetime.
He gently lifted up the ball of light, and then began to use a special technique to screen out those stronger souls one by one.
Xiao Ling's fingers drew mysterious tracks in the air, and each stroke was accompanied by a slight tremor of the soul body, as if responding to his call.
As time went by, those soul bodies above the Dou Wang level were gradually separated and Xiao Ling carefully stored them in a special container for future use.
