Chapter 353 Ancient Sky Serpent Relics
Easily erasing the soul mark on the ring, Xiao Ling's soul power penetrated into it unimpeded. After a brief search, a blood-red scroll flashed on his palm.
"Blood evil power."
Xiao Ling's eyes swept across the scroll, and then stopped at the three blood-red characters on the scroll. A strong smell of blood immediately filled the air.
He carefully unrolled the scroll and glanced at the introduction of the technique in the scroll. His brows slightly furrowed. After a moment, he whispered, "Sure enough, this technique is too evil, but also too cruel. It devours human blood and flesh and absorbs the opponent's fighting spirit. This method is really cruel."
This so-called Blood Evil Art, even in the Tianming Sect, is considered a top-level art. This can be seen from the fact that Mo Ji relied on it to reach Dou Zong Seven Stars in his thirties. Although this was also due to his excellent talent, it was more due to the strange power of this Blood Evil Art.
"However, this method of increasing strength by absorbing other people's fighting spirit is not the best after all. If you absorb too much fighting spirit, it will make it difficult for your fighting spirit to be pure. After reaching a certain level, it will be difficult to make any further progress. At that time, unless you disperse your power and start over, otherwise, you will gradually be counterattacked by the fighting spirit mixed with impurities."
After reading about this so-called Blood Evil Technique, Xiao Ling also saw some drawbacks of this technique. This thing can make people learn quickly, but the sequelae are too great, and the process is extremely cruel and bloody. People who are not naturally cold-hearted may not be able to practice this technique.
"It's a pity that the training requirements and side effects are a bit harsh, otherwise it could be left to Canaan College."
Xiao Ling shook his head and put the Blood Evil Skill into his storage ring. In any case, this is considered a high-level earth-level skill and still has some value.
Even if you take it out to exchange with others, you can get some good stuff in exchange, and by the way, you can also disgust the Tianming Sect.
After carefully putting away the Blood Evil Skill, Xiao Ling continued to search in the ring. His eyes stopped on an inconspicuous gray scroll, from which he could feel a faint murderous aura quietly overflowing.
"This breath..."
Xiao Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, this murderous aura made him feel a little familiar. After a little thought, he remembered the powerful fighting skill that Mo Ji had used at the end, which contained this kind of fierce murderous aura that could capture people's minds.
He stretched out his hand and a gray scroll appeared in his palm. Xiao Ling flicked it lightly, and the scroll slowly unfolded, revealing a few words that looked ordinary but exuded endless murderous intent.
"Earth-level high-level fighting skill, Tianming Shura Hand..." Xiao Ling read softly. He read the contents of the scroll carefully and roughly understood the principle of practicing this fighting skill. It requires the practitioner to have a strong killing spirit.
"People like the ancient monster from the ancient clan, who have a strong murderous aura, are particularly suitable for this kind of fighting skills. If you have nothing to do one day, you can try to practice it."
However, since he already had "Great Wilderness Prisoner Heaven Hand" and "Emperor Seal Art", Xiao Ling was not very interested in "Heavenly Dark Shura Hand". He felt that although this fighting skill was powerful, it did not seem to have much novelty compared to his existing skills.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling waved his hand and put the scroll into his storage ring. The value of this fighting skill should not be underestimated. Whether it is practiced by oneself or used for exchange, it can bring considerable benefits.
Xiao Ling then searched through the ring, which was filled with all kinds of gold coins, elixirs, techniques and fighting skills. What surprised Xiao Ling even more was that it contained not only the techniques and fighting skills of the Tianming Sect, but also the secret techniques and fighting skills of other sects.
This is enough to show that Mo Ji had indeed killed many outstanding disciples from other sects during his lifetime. It seems that Mo Ji was also an old hand at killing and robbing.
"Tsk tsk, this guy is quite capable to have accumulated so many treasures. Now, all of these belong to me."
As Xiao Ling spoke, he was playing with a book of intermediate earth-level fighting skills with thunder attributes in his hand. There were more than a dozen earth-level fighting skills scattered around him, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Ling couldn't help but sigh. Taking resources directly from others was indeed the fastest way. Even alchemists couldn't catch up with this speed of making money.
However, if you want to earn resources in this way, you must have sufficient strength to support it, otherwise, it would be like giving others a surprise gift package.
Xiao Ling waved his hand and put the treasures back into the ring. Although each of these items was priceless, except for the medicinal herbs, the others were not very attractive to him.
Just when Xiao Ling was about to end this exploration and thought there was nothing new to discover, an inconspicuous animal skin scroll in Mo Ji's ring suddenly caught his attention.
With a thought in his mind, he took out the scroll and examined it carefully in his palm. This scroll looked ordinary, but Xiao Ling's intuition told him that the origin of this scroll was definitely not simple, and it was very likely to be an item related to the ruins that Mo Ji had mentioned before.
When you unfold the scroll, the first thing that catches your eye is a line of small words.
"My descendants:
Seeing you in person is like seeing you in person. I am your ancestor. My name is unknown, and everyone in my clan calls me Xuanying. I am leaving this letter in the ancestral hall today because I have something to tell you.
During an unexpected expedition, I came across a secret relic that was closely related to the legend of the Ancient Sky Snake. The Ancient Sky Snake is the ancestor of our snake-like monsters. Its power is as vast as the sea, enough to shake the world. Therefore, I decided to explore this relic myself.
I leave this letter in the clan's ancestral hall as a testimony of my actions. If I can return safely, I will take this scroll away, and you will not be able to see it. If I cannot return, my descendants, if you find this scroll one day, it means that I may have met with an accident.
On this scroll, I have left a clue to the ancient serpent ruins. If you see this scroll, you can follow this clue to find the ancient serpent ruins. But remember, exploring the ruins is not easy. My power has reached the peak of the seventh level. If I still fail, those who have not reached the eighth level should not try rashly. Remember, insufficient power will only increase the danger.
I hope that you will forge ahead on the path of cultivation. If you have the opportunity to uncover the mystery of the ruins, perhaps you will be able to bring supreme glory to our race.
Sincerely, Xuanying leaves a note. "
Looking at the small words on the scroll, Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows.
"I really didn't expect that this is news related to the ancient sky snake. This is really interesting." Touching his chin, Xiao Ling said to himself.
The person who left this scroll obviously wanted to go to the ruins of the ancient sky snake alone in order to obtain the inheritance that the ancient sky snake might have left behind.
However, it seems that the scroll still exists, which means that the person who left it did not succeed. As for whether his descendants succeeded, judging from the well-preserved appearance of the scroll, it is highly unlikely.
Xiao Ling couldn't help but wonder where Mo Ji got such a treasure. However, he didn't care too much about these details. The important thing now was that this scroll was a bargain for him.
I just don't know if the news of this ruins has reached other people. If someone knows about it, they should hurry up and take a look, so as not to let others get there first.
If the news hadn't leaked out, Xiao Ling could wait until he broke through to Dou Zun before going. After all, even the person who left the scroll at the peak of the seventh level never came back, so it was obvious that the ruins must be full of dangers. If he went there before breaking through to Dou Zun, there might be some accidents.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling already had a plan in mind. After converting Mo Zhi into a banner slave, he would ask him for some information.
Xiao Ling flipped the scroll casually, revealing the back of it, which contained detailed maps and information clues leading to the ruins.
He swept his eyes across the map, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. The Ancient Sky Snake was the top existence among snake-like monsters, much stronger than the Nine Nether Earth Python. If this was really the tomb that Qing Lin found in the original book, then it would be a big profit.
If the soul of the ancient sky snake can be found in the ruins and Qinglin can refine it, her strength may improve by leaps and bounds like the little medical fairy did after condensing the poison pill, or even reach a higher level. If the soul of the ancient sky snake is strong enough, it may directly allow Qinglin to reach the realm of Dou Zun.
Moreover, Xiao Ling still remembered that the soul of the ancient sky snake that Qing Lin subdued in the original novel was a mutated species, an ancient nine-headed sky snake, which was much more powerful than an ordinary ancient sky snake.
"Hasn't Qinglin always felt that his cultivation speed was too slow and was always unhappy? When I tell that girl this good news, I'm sure he will be very happy." The figure of Qinglin appeared in Xiao Ling's mind, and his heart warmed. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and he muttered to himself.
Xiao Ling shook his head gently and carefully put the scroll into his ring. He leaned against the head of the bed, stretched himself, and felt relaxed.
With a slight "creaky" sound, the bathroom door was pushed open.
Xun'er walked out of the bathroom. Her figure appeared at the door, and she had changed into a new set of pajamas.
With a slender figure and long, straight legs, she looked elegant and confident with every step she took. Xiao Ling's eyes were involuntarily attracted to her. No matter how many times he saw her, he always felt that Xun'er's beauty was so moving that he could never get enough of it.
Xun'er felt Xiao Ling's gaze, and a faint blush appeared on her face. Despite this, she still pretended to be fierce, waved her little fist at Xiao Ling, and walked towards the bed.
Seeing Xun'er coming, Xiao Ling stretched out his arms and made a hugging gesture. Xun'er smiled softly and fell into Xiao Ling's arms.
They hugged each other and fell on the soft bed together. Their foreheads touched and their noses touched. Xiao Ling looked into Xun'er's eyes that were as bright as stars and felt that everything was so beautiful that it was unreal.
Then, they smiled at each other, without words, their faces naturally moved closer, and finally their lips touched each other, gently and briefly. After they separated, they said good night to each other, and Xun'er snuggled in Xiao Ling's arms, and they fell asleep together.
The room was filled with Xun'er's faint fragrance and Xiao Ling's warm breath, interweaving together to form a unique tranquility. Under the moonlight, the two figures were tightly attached to each other, as if the whole world had stopped turning for them.
The silver moonlight covered them like a soft veil, making the night more peaceful and tranquil. In this quiet night, the two found each other's support in mind and body, enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth together.
……
On an empty lawn in the courtyard, Xiao Ling was sitting cross-legged in front of the Spirit Tempering Cauldron. The seals of his hands kept changing, and along with his movements, the brilliant golden flame in the cauldron also danced as if it had life.
His eyes were fixed on the inside of the alchemy furnace, where the prototype of an elixir was lying quietly in the flames, being slowly tempered by the scorching and pure flames, and impurities were being removed bit by bit.
Around this pill, two dragon-shaped phantoms were circling and dancing. Under the scorching flames, they gradually gathered towards the pill and gradually merged into it. The dragon shadows formed two lifelike dragon patterns on the surface of the pill, making the whole pill look extraordinary.
Ordinary people can tell from this that the elixir Xiao Ling is currently refining is by no means an ordinary thing.
The origin of this pill was also unusual. It was the seventh-grade pill that Xiao Ling was preparing to refine for Xun'er, the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill.
To refine the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, the materials needed are not easy to find. It requires the magic cores of two dragon-like monsters that have been dead for no more than seven days, and the magic cores must be at least level six.
Although Xiao Ling had some high-quality dragon magic cores on hand, they could not be used because they exceeded the time limit.
Interestingly, the two sixth-rank dragon magic cores now used to refine the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill were obtained by chance when Xun'er and Xiao Ling were playing in the surrounding Monster Mountains.
It was because of this unexpected gain that Xiao Ling came up with the idea of refining a Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill for Xun'er.
Although he also hoped that Xun'er would never need to use this pill to activate its effect, it was always good to have it as a guarantee and it would not do any harm.
Not far from Xiao Ling, Xun'er stood quietly, with her hands folded in front of her belly, looking gentle and peaceful. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Xiao Ling's figure, as if he was the only one left in her world, nothing else.
Time slipped away unknowingly, and perhaps two incense sticks of time had passed.
Xiao Ling, who had been sitting quietly in front of the medicine cauldron, suddenly stood up. His hand gestures began to speed up, getting faster and faster, and finally suddenly stopped.
"Done!" Xiao Ling let out a breath and said with a faint smile on his face.
Before he finished his words, a dazzling beam of energy broke out from the Spirit Tempering Cauldron in front of Xiao Ling and shot straight into the sky, as if it was going to pierce the sky.
As the beam of light shot up into the sky, two deafening dragon roars were heard from the cauldron, and two dragon-shaped phantoms flew up with it. They circled around the beam of light, their dragon scales shining in the sunlight, looking lifelike.
This beam of light directly broke a big hole in the clouds, allowing the sunlight that was originally blocked by the clouds to pour down, forming a column of light, bathing the lawn in golden color.
However, the sunshine did not last long. Suddenly, layers of thunderclouds gathered in the sky, and the sky pierced by the beam quickly became overcast, with thunder rumbling and lightning flashing, indicating that a storm was coming.
Such a spectacular scene naturally attracted the attention of countless people in Xinlian City. Thunderclouds that could cause such a big commotion were at least a sign of the emergence of a seventh-grade elixir. Such a situation was extremely rare even outside the Dan Domain and in the entire Zhongzhou.
The people in the city were all whispering, speculating which alchemy master had made such a high-quality elixir. However, no matter how much they discussed, they could not come to a definite conclusion.
When the thunder in the sky condensed to its peak, a huge pill thunder fell from the sky like a pillar of heaven, and rushed straight to the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill that had just been refined below.
Xiao Ling stood there, facing this terrifying blow from the power of heaven, without a trace of panic in his eyes. He waved his hand lightly, and a demon puppet emitting a brilliant silver luster appeared beside him.
This Earth Demon Leader puppet was carefully made by Xiao Ling after he read Mo Qi's memory and used Mo Qi's memory and body to make a Heaven Demon Leader puppet. Due to the use of high-quality materials, the quality of this Earth Demon Leader puppet was very good, and it had the strength of a Six Heart Dou Zong as soon as it was made.
Following Xiao Ling's gesture, the Earth Demon Chief Puppet, which had been ready to attack, suddenly squatted down, and then rushed towards the pill thunder like a silver lightning.
The violent thunder that seemed to be able to destroy everything struck the Earth Demon Leader Puppet, but did not cause much damage. It only knocked it back a distance.
The energy of Dan Lei began to gradually transform into pure power, which merged into the body of the Earth Demon King Puppet and was absorbed by it. As the energy was absorbed, the aura of the Earth Demon King Puppet became stronger and stronger.
Time passed quietly, and after half an incense stick of time, the thunder in the sky seemed to finally realize that it could not shake the indestructible earth demon leader, and began to dissipate unwillingly.
The originally gloomy sky seemed to have been washed, and the bright sunshine appeared again.
As the threat of the pill thunder disappeared, the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill in the medicine cauldron seemed to sense the breath of freedom. It couldn't wait to jump out of the cauldron, as if it wanted to take this opportunity to escape from the scene.
But how could Xiao Ling let it do what it wanted? He snorted contemptuously, and the soul power between his eyebrows gushed out like a spring, instantly condensing into an invisible big hand. This big hand easily grabbed the pill that tried to escape and held it firmly in the palm of his hand.
Then, Xiao Ling waved his hand lightly, and the captured Yin Yang Xuanlong Pill floated lightly in front of him. He took out an exquisite jade bottle from his ring, carefully put the pill into the bottle, and carefully sealed the bottle cap.
