Chapter 294 Nine Star Dou Zong
When these words came out, Xiao Yixian and Qinglin showed surprised expressions. Although they had heard Yao Chen occasionally mention the Taixu Ancient Dragon, their understanding of this race was very limited.
Everyone only knows that the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan is extremely mysterious, but relevant information is extremely scarce. They only vaguely know that the strength of this clan must be very strong.
Yao Chen continued, "The Taixu Ancient Dragon is not only powerful, but also has the ability to travel through space. It is one of the most noble beings among all magical beasts. Zi Yan, you have such a body, and your future potential is limitless."
After hearing Yao Chen's explanation, everyone around him showed surprised expressions, but Zi Yan was surprisingly calm. For her, how powerful the Warcraft race she belonged to was not her main concern. What really confused her was why such a powerful race would abandon her.
A trace of confusion flashed in Zi Yan's eyes, and she whispered to herself: "Taixu Ancient Dragon, so this is my race. It is indeed amazing to hear you, Old Man Yao, but if you are so powerful, why did you leave me here?"
Yao Chen spread his hands helplessly, with a hint of thought and uncertainty in his tone: "I can't say for sure about such things. Maybe you encountered some unexpected events. The habitat of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan is extremely secretive. I only know that they may be in some corner of Zhongzhou. Maybe your people encountered some accidents and had to leave you in the northwest continent."
"After all, a noble demon beast race like the Taixu Ancient Dragon attaches great importance to the purity of their bloodline. They will not easily let the bloodline of their own people flow elsewhere." Yao Chen pondered and continued, "Moreover, if someone really dares to harm the members of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, the strong men in the clan will never stand idly by."
Xiao Yixian and Qinglin also whispered in agreement, trying to comfort Zi Yan. They all knew that family had always been a thorn in Zi Yan's heart.
"Yes, Sister Zi Yan, there must be some unavoidable reason. You are definitely not abandoned." Qing Lin's voice was gentle and firm.
"Don't worry, Zi Yan. After Xiao Ling comes out of seclusion, we can go to Zhongzhou together. Since the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan lives there, we will go together to help you find your family." Xiao Yixiang's words were full of encouragement and support.
Hearing everyone's comfort and support, Zi Yan's mood recovered from her depression, and her tone was a little playful and firm: "You are right, as soon as Xiao Ling comes out of seclusion, we will immediately set off for Zhongzhou. I have to find my people. If my father is still alive, I will settle accounts with him."
Zi Yan's words, which were tinged with joking and confidence, made everyone present burst into laughter.
Sure enough, this is Zi Yan's true character, the girl who will never be easily discouraged no matter what difficulties she encounters and always faces everything with an optimistic attitude.
Zi Yan circled leisurely in the sky for a few circles, and then her voice was filled with a hint of playful dissatisfaction: "I'm really not used to this monster form. I feel more comfortable turning back into a human."
Before she finished speaking, she had already begun to mobilize the energy in her body, preparing to transform. As a brilliant purple light streaked across the sky, her huge dragon body began to gradually shrink, and the scales and dragon wings gradually blurred, and finally condensed into a human form that Zi Yan was familiar with.
However, the change this time is different from the previous time she came out of confinement. She is no longer the mature and elegant lady, but has returned to her original little girl appearance. She has a petite figure, a tender face, and a smart and energetic look in her eyes.
Zi Yan landed lightly on the ground. She looked at her human form and smiled with satisfaction. But soon, she noticed something was wrong and thought to herself, "Why does this feeling feel the same as before? That childish feeling is back."
She looked down and found that she could actually see directly to her toes. The majestic resources that once blocked her vision were gone.
At this glance, Zi Yan immediately realized that she had returned to the little girl she was before her retreat. Her mouth opened into a lovely "O" shape, and then she let out an exaggerated sigh, with a few crystal tears flashing in the corners of her eyes.
"Oh, why did I turn into a child again?" Zi Yan pouted, looking annoyed. "If I had known, I would not have turned into a monster. I wanted to charm Xiao Ling with my mature appearance, but now my plan has gone to waste."
When Xiao Yixian and the others saw this scene, they looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh out loud. A world where only Zi Yan was hurt was achieved.
……
In that magma world filled with hot breath, the space seemed to be trembling slightly. Waves of mottled energy from heaven and earth quickly gathered together, and then poured into the body of the young man sitting in the cave like a waterfall.
Faced with this endless infusion of energy, his body was like a bottomless pit. No matter how much energy poured in, there was no sign of saturation.
Since Xiao Ling broke through to the eight-star Dou Zong and took the Zongji Pill, he has maintained this state for three consecutive days. During these three days, his body was as stable as a mountain and motionless.
The only sound in the cave came from the swirling energy vortex above his head, which made a low and continuous whistling sound.
In Xiao Ling's body, the enormous medicinal power contained in the Zong Ji Dan was refined by the strange fire and transformed into surging fighting spirit, flowing through the meridians like a tide.
At the same time, the violent fire energy from the outside world was also constantly pouring in. After being refined by the strange fire, it turned into pure fighting spirit and joined this torrent.
Although after refining these violent fire energies, the amount of pure fighting spirit that Xiao Ling can absorb is not much, but over time, such accumulation can also reach an astonishing level.
Most practitioners accumulate Dou Qi bit by bit in this way and steadily improve their strength. Although relying on pills to improve strength is a quick method, it is not a long-term solution. Over-reliance will be counterproductive.
As Xiao Ling continued to absorb the surrounding fire energy, the Dou Qi in his body gradually became surging and powerful. Every time the Dou Qi circulated, it brought endless power to his body. This feeling of fullness of power made him feel an irresistible urge in his heart, wanting to roar to the sky and release this exciting power.
However, Xiao Ling finally suppressed this impulse. He knew that if he really let out a long roar, all the hard work of the past three days of training might be wasted.
He must remain calm and continue to focus on his training, allowing this power to settle and condense in his body until it reaches a new level.
After eight days of such training, Xiao Ling finally saw a change. The swirling energy vortex above his head trembled slightly and then slowly dissipated, and the originally fluctuating space around him gradually returned to calm.
Not long after the energy vortex dissipated, Xiao Ling's eyelids trembled slightly, and then his eyes slowly opened. His eyes showed a deep blue color, and looked calm, as if he had just woken up from a deep sleep, without the slightest excitement or fatigue, only a sense of tranquility and depth.
As the seal of cultivation gradually dissipated, Xiao Ling slowly raised his head and spread his palms flat. With a thought, the surging fighting spirit in his body immediately rushed out of his meridians like a wild horse, and finally merged into his flesh and blood.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful fighting spirit burst out from his body uncontrollably, and the force was so fierce that a large area of the cliff where he was was directly shattered, and the rocks turned into dust, which was blown everywhere by the majestic aura emitted by Xiao Ling.
This scene was like a small natural disaster. Xiao Ling's power was fully revealed at this moment. His aura was powerful and overbearing, as if it could shake the entire world.
Xiao Ling was still sitting cross-legged on the green lotus pedestal floating in the air. The pedestal emitted a faint green light, making him look like a god descending from heaven, solemn and mysterious.
He stood up slowly and calmly, and put the blue lotus pedestal into his storage ring. Then, he stepped into the air, as if he was taking a leisurely walk in his own courtyard.
Xiao Ling stretched unconsciously, and as his body stretched, his bones made a few crisp crackling sounds. The sound made him feel extremely comfortable, as if every cell in his body was completely activated and extremely transparent.
Xiao Ling felt that his body was full of strength at this moment, and the fighting spirit flowing through his meridians was like the rolling Yangtze River, surging. He knew that this training had taken his cultivation to a higher level, and every part of his body was filled with explosive power. He just wanted to stretch his muscles and bones and release the energy in his body.
Xiao Ling waved his hand gently, and the space in front of him immediately split open, forming a dark space crack. As he waved his hand again, the crack slowly closed and returned to its original state. This is the power of the Nine Star Dou Zong, it is really powerful. "Xiao Ling felt the surging power in his body and said to himself, with an unconcealable excitement and satisfaction in his tone, "Now, it should not be difficult to use the space channel to shuttle. "
His words revealed his confidence and expectation for the new power. The strength of the Nine-Star Dou Zong allowed him to reach a new level of control over space. This increase in power would undoubtedly bring him a huge advantage in future adventures and battles.
During this retreat, Xiao Ling first devoured the Life-Transforming Fire, and then refined two Dou Zong-level fire beads and more than a dozen Dou Huang-level fire beads. In addition, he also absorbed half of the Dou Qi contained in the Demonic Poison Spot. After this series of training, Xiao Ling finally succeeded in breaking through to the Nine-Star Dou Zong realm.
Although this process took a lot of time, Xiao Ling felt very satisfied to see that his cultivation had improved so significantly.
With a thought, Xiao Ling called out the system panel and prepared to check his status.
"System, open my personal panel." His voice echoed in the empty training room, with a hint of determination and expectation.
As he finished speaking, a light curtain slowly unfolded in front of him, listing his personal information and current status in detail.

Number of draws: 3
Seeing the three extra chances to draw this time, Xiao Ling felt a little excited and said to himself, "System, use the remaining three chances."
[Beep, extracting opportunities for the host, please wait...]
[Ding... Congratulations to the host for drawing 10 million gold coins]
[Ding... Congratulations to the host for drawing 10 million gold coins]
[Ding... Congratulations to the host for drawing the Netherworld Poison Fire Map]
Xiao Ling glanced at the system's results and found that he only won one item out of three chances. He couldn't help but shake his head and complained half-jokingly: "This winning rate is really, I'm too lazy to say anything. It's good enough to draw something. I hope that one day I can get a surprise, a peerless magic weapon or magic medicine or something, even a trace of source energy."
Although he said so, Xiao Ling was actually quite open-minded. He knew that being able to draw something was already considered luck. Moreover, this time he drew something related to the strange fire, which in his opinion was already a pretty good harvest.
Xiao Ling put the 20 million gold coins into the ring, then waved his hand lightly and took out the map of the Netherworld Poison Fire from the system space.
A white light flashed, and a scroll made of green animal skin appeared in his palm. This map had obviously gone through a long time, but it was still well preserved, thanks to the excellent material of the animal skin.
As soon as he got the map, information about the Netherworld Poison Fire Map immediately emerged in Xiao Ling's mind.
[Netherworld Poison Fire Map: A map that records the location of the Netherworld Poison Fire in detail, with notes and instructions from the map maker. Please refer to the map for specific details.]
Seeing the introduction given by the system, Xiao Ling couldn't help but curl up a smile. He shook his head helplessly and said to himself: "It's really simple and crude."
Although Xiao Ling found the system's straightforward style funny, he didn't dwell on it too much. He picked up the map of the Netherworld Poison Fire and began to examine it carefully.
This map is different from the previous map of the Dou Zun ruins. It does not have any complicated restrictions attached. The information on the map is clear at a glance and can be viewed directly.
The front of the map depicts an area in detail, with some key information marked on it. Although there is not much information, it is enough for Xiao Ling to determine the location of the Netherworld Poison Fire. It is located in a place called the Poison Mist Valley in the northern region of Zhongzhou. He just needs to find this place.
Most of the map is a detailed outline of the Poison Mist Valley environment, including a clear path. This path is likely to be the key to finding the mysterious Netherworld Poison Fire after entering the Poison Mist Valley.
Xiao Ling stroked his chin and said to himself, "This Netherworld Poison Fire is a good choice for Xian'er. If she can refine this Netherworld Poison Fire and absorb the poisonous energy in it, her cultivation will definitely improve. Moreover, once she condenses the poison pill, she will be able to perfectly control the toxins in her body and manipulate the toxins in the Netherworld Poison Fire at will. Maybe, that girl can also use only the high temperature of the strange fire itself, without the toxins, to refine some pills."
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling's mouth curled up unconsciously. Xiao Yixian's original dream was to become a pharmacist, but due to the limitation of her talent, she finally chose to become a doctor. Later, she awakened the evil poison body and her main identity became a poison master. However, over the years, she has never stopped studying medicine.
"If Xian'er can become an alchemist, she will be very happy." Xiao Ling thought to himself, "It seems that I have to get this Netherworld Poison Fire no matter what."
Xiao Ling then turned over the map and looked at the text on the back, which recorded the map maker's notes.
"I am Mo Yun, a poison cultivator who has devoted my life to studying the ultimate poison skills. I have long heard that there is a mysterious place in the northern region of Zhongzhou, called the Poison Mist Valley. It is rumored that the valley is filled with poison and it is difficult for ordinary people to approach. However, for poison cultivators like us, it seems to have endless attraction. I know very well that if I can find a rare item in the Poison Mist Valley, it will surely take my poison skills to a higher level.
Many years ago, I accidentally heard that there was a Netherworld Poison Fire hidden in the valley. This fire is a treasure for poison cultivators. If I can obtain it and refine it, my poison skills will surely improve by leaps and bounds. I yearned for it, so I resolutely went to the Poison Mist Valley...
After many hardships, I finally arrived at the Poison Mist Valley. The density of the poisonous fog was far beyond my imagination. Even though I had many ways to detoxify, I dared not take it lightly. Going deeper into the valley, I was shocked to find that there was a powerful monster entrenched here.
It was a seventh-level Netherworld Poison Dragon Scorpion, huge in size, emitting a terrifying poisonous aura. I had originally wanted to subdue the legendary Netherworld Poison Fire, but I had never thought that this fire would be guarded by such a powerful monster. I fought with it and only then did I know how powerful it was. The Netherworld Poison Dragon Scorpion attacked fiercely, and the poisonous fog filled the sky. Although I fought hard, I gradually felt exhausted.
After a hard battle, I knew that it was difficult to defeat this demon beast with my own strength, so I had no choice but to return home in defeat. However, I was unwilling to give up, so I drew this map, hoping that someone with a predestined relationship could obtain this Netherworld Poison Fire, which would make my adventure worthwhile. If anyone gets this map, remember to be careful of the Netherworld Poison Dragon Scorpion, which is extremely powerful and should not be underestimated. That’s all I have to say, I wish you good luck. ”
