"You are the Pavilion Master of Xingyun Pavilion, how could I embarrass you..." Venerable Feng smiled and waved his hand, then turned to Mu Qingluan with a hint of ridicule in his eyes: "Qingluan, you and your fellow junior brothers and sisters will be blessed to have Venerable Yao here from now on."
After hearing this, Mu Qingluan's eyes lit up. With Yao Chen, the great alchemy master, their Xingyun Pavilion would never be short of elixirs again.
Yao Chen smiled and waved his hands, saying modestly: "In my current state, I can't help you much. You should still count on Xiao Ling. His alchemy skills are not much worse than mine back then. It won't be long before he can catch up with my level back then."
As he spoke, Yao Chen gently pointed at Xiao Ling, with a hint of amusement in his tone.
After hearing Yao Chen's words, Venerable Feng realized that Xiao Ling, a young 8th-rank alchemist, was also present. He couldn't help but feel a little confused, and then he asked:
"Old man, could Xiao Ling be your new disciple? If you were personally guiding him, then he would be able to refine an eighth-grade elixir at such a young age. Although it is a little unbelievable, it is not impossible."
In Master Feng's opinion, since Yao Chen was brought back to Xingyun Pavilion by Xiao Ling and the others, and they seemed to have a very close relationship, he might really be Yao Chen's new disciple from outside.
In this way, it would not be so surprising that Xiao Ling could achieve such an achievement at such a young age if he had the personal guidance of Yao Chen, an eighth-grade peak alchemist.
As Venerable Feng thought about it, he turned his gaze to Xiao Ling, with a flash of excitement in his eyes. If this is true, then according to seniority, wouldn't Xiao Ling have to call him Uncle Master? This thought made him feel a little proud.
Yao Chen couldn't help laughing when he heard what Venerable Feng said. He waved his hand and said self-deprecatingly, "I'm not that lucky. When Xiao Ling was still young, I was still asleep and didn't discover him. When we met again, he was already a sixth-rank alchemist. Since then, I have been by his side and witnessed his growth."
Xiao Ling was able to achieve advanced alchemy skills at such a young age, thanks to his own efforts and the opportunities along the way. Yao Chen himself felt that his relationship was not particularly important.
Hearing what Yao Chen said, a flash of surprise flashed across Venerable Feng's face, and then he felt a little pity. He shook his head and sighed: "Alas, what a pity. If Xiao Ling could have met you earlier, maybe his achievements would be even higher now."
Xiao Ling smiled softly and took over the conversation with gratitude in his tone: "My achievements in alchemy today are indeed inseparable from those opportunities, but Yao Lao's guidance and help are also indispensable. Although we don't have a formal master-disciple relationship, in my heart, Yao Lao has long been my master."
As he spoke, Xiao Ling stood up and bowed solemnly to Yao Chen.
This gift is not only a respect for Yao Chen, but also a gratitude for Yao Chen's silent support and guidance over the years.
The reason why Xiao Ling did not take Yao Chen as his master was because he had too many secrets. He was worried that once he became Yao Chen's apprentice, his every move would be noticed by Yao Chen. In that case, it would be difficult to explain the props extracted from the system.
Moreover, with Yao Chen's wisdom and rich life experience, if he follows Xiao Ling for a long time, he will most likely find that Xiao Ling can always do things that seem to predict the future, and thus he may be able to roughly infer Xiao Ling's secrets and unusualness.
However, Xiao Ling still admired Yao Chen from the bottom of his heart, and regarded him as one of the closest people to him in the Douqi Continent.
Witnessing Xiao Ling's actions, Little Medical Fairy quickly stood up, walked to Yao Chen, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Xiao Ling. Then they bowed to Yao Chen together. Her voice was elegant and firm.
"Not only did Yao Lao guide me along the way, he also taught me the method of poison pill, which allowed me to control my poisonous body. In Xian'er's heart, Yao Lao is also the person I respect the most."
Yao Chen was stunned at first when faced with Xiao Ling and Xiao Yixian's sudden formal greetings, and then he burst into laughter.
Yao Chen has always had a small regret in his heart, that is, he did not discover Xiao Ling when he was still a blank slate, and he did not have the opportunity to personally carve this peerless uncut jade from an early age.
But now, hearing Xiao Ling's solemn words, his previous regrets also dissipated.
"Okay, okay, I appreciate your kindness. As for the master-disciple relationship, it's actually not that important. I'm a lonely ghost in the remote northwest continent of Jia Ma Empire. It's my great luck to meet young people like you who are so talented and witness your growth."
Yao Chen said with a smile as he stretched out his somewhat illusory hands, tightly grasped Xiao Ling and Xiao Yixian's shoulders, and slowly helped them up.
Feng Zun and Mu Qingluan stood aside and witnessed this heartwarming scene, their hearts filled with waves.
As Yao Chen's true disciple, Qing Lin was a little confused at this moment. She didn't know what to do for a moment. She looked at Yao Chen, then at Xiao Ling and Xiao Yixian, feeling mixed emotions.
What's going on? Why are they all so affectionate? This kind of atmosphere makes her, a true disciple, feel very embarrassed~_~……
Noticing that Qing Lin seemed a little uncomfortable, Yao Chen scratched his head awkwardly. Then, his figure turned into a wisp of green smoke and floated gently behind Qing Lin. He rubbed her head affectionately and introduced her to Feng Zunzun with a smile:
"Qinglin is my true disciple. Don't underestimate her young age. She is already a Dou Zong master with considerable strength. She possesses the legendary Green Snake Three-Flower Pupil, which is known as the most amazing pupil in the Dou Qi Continent. She has the amazing potential to become a Dou Sheng."
After hearing what Yao Chen said, Feng Zun and Mu Qingluan turned their gazes to the slightly shy girl, and then to Qinglin's emerald green eyes. A closer look revealed that three green petal-like patterns were faintly visible in the depths of those emerald green eyes.
When they tried to observe the three petals more closely, they felt dizzy and their minds were in a brief trance, so they quickly looked away.
The two of them couldn't help but marvel in their hearts, the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils were indeed worthy of their reputation, and were worthy of being called the number one pupil in the Douqi Continent, so terrifying!
Mu Qingluan looked at Qinglin again, then retracted her gaze and said thoughtfully: "So you have the Green Snake Tri-Flower Pupil. I did sense some magical beast aura from you before. I thought you were a transformed magical beast like me. Now it seems that the aura of those magical beasts should be emitted by the snake magical beasts you subdued."
When Master Feng heard what Mu Qingluan said, he couldn't help but interrupt her, with a hint of envy and ridicule in his tone: "I didn't expect that you, an old fellow, are so lucky to have a disciple with the Green Snake Triple Flower Pupil. This is also the first time I have seen this legendary pupil. Why didn't you let me encounter such a good thing?"
As he spoke, Venerable Feng deliberately curled his lips, looking sour.
When Mu Qingluan heard what Master Feng said, she felt a little uncomfortable. She rolled her eyes quietly and silently complained about her master in her heart.
Yao Chen laughed loudly, with a smug look on his face. He said with a smile: "This kind of luck is not something you can expect just by wishing for it."
Then, he gradually stopped smiling and his tone became serious, "However, although the Green Snake Triple Flower Pupil is great, Qinglin is not fully grown up after all. Before she has the top strength on the continent, it is better not to leak the news that she has the Green Snake Triple Flower Pupil. I also hope that you can keep this secret and not mention it to outsiders."
He paused for a moment and continued, "After all, if those snake-like monster families knew that Qinglin possessed the Green Snake Tricolor Pupil, they would definitely do whatever it takes to secretly attack him and try to eliminate this potential threat in advance."
"There are quite a few snake-like monster families with eighth-level monsters, especially the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan, one of the three major monster races in the Beast Realm. There are even Dou Sheng-level strongmen in the clan. These forces are not something we can easily provoke at the moment."
After hearing what Yao Chen said, Feng Zun and Mu Qingluan nodded solemnly, indicating that they would never leak the news.
They could naturally understand what Yao Chen said, especially Mu Qingluan, who came from the Qingluan clan in the Beast Realm, who had a deeper understanding of the cruel rules of the Warcraft world.
If those snake monster families knew that Qinglin possessed the Green Snake Three-Flower Pupil, they would definitely eliminate this potential threat in advance at all costs.
After chatting for a while, Venerable Feng asked, "What are your plans for the future? You came to Xingyun Pavilion this time with the intention of settling here for a long time."
Yao Chen nodded seriously, then smiled and said, "Indeed, we came to Xingyun Pavilion this time to settle down here. Xiao Ling, Xiao Yixian, Qinglin, and Yao Tianhuo will all join Xingyun Pavilion. Old man, you can arrange the positions of elders for Xiao Ling and Yao Tianhuo later. As for Xiao Yixian and Qinglin, I will personally guide their cultivation." Yao Tianhuo stood up with a warm smile on his face, clasped his fists easily, and said with some expectation: "Pavilion Master Feng Xian, from now on, I will also be considered a member of Xingyun Pavilion. I hope you will take care of me in the future."
Upon hearing this, Venerable Feng laughed loudly and politely clasped his fists in return: "Brother Tianhuo is so modest. With a strong man like you joining us, Xingyun Pavilion has truly found a treasure."
Feng Zun was naturally very happy. He was very happy that Yao Tianhuo, a powerful five-star Dou Zun, was willing to join Xingyun Pavilion. Yao Tianhuo's joining would undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of Xingyun Pavilion.
After discussing with Venerable Hefeng about their stay at Xingyun Pavilion, Xiao Ling started talking about business: "By the way, since we have arrived at Xingyun Pavilion and there is nothing urgent to deal with, now is the time to help Yao Lao refine a new body."
"Senior Feng Zun, could you please prepare a secret room for us? The process of refining a new body is very important and cannot be disturbed by any outside interference."
When Venerable Feng heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then asked with some doubt: "Have you prepared all the materials needed to revive this old guy?"
When he saw Yao Chen appearing in the form of a soul before, Venerable Feng thought that the reason Yao Chen had not recovered his physical body was because Xiao Ling and the others had not yet collected all the materials needed to refine a new body.
Xiao Ling smiled slightly and explained, "The materials were just gathered not long ago. As soon as we got the materials, we immediately set off for Xingyun Pavilion, and we didn't have time to refine a new body for Yao Lao."
"In that case, we must hurry. I will take you to a secret room and ensure that you will not be disturbed by anyone there."
Venerable Feng nodded, with a hint of joy in his tone. If all the materials are ready, Yao Chen will be able to recover his body soon, which is naturally a good thing.
Then, Venerable Feng turned to Mu Qingluan and said in a gentle tone: "Qingluan, take Xiao Yixian and Qinglin to choose a courtyard to live in. Be sure to arrange the best residences in Xingyun Pavilion for your two senior sisters."
Mu Qingluan nodded and answered obediently: "Don't worry, Master, Qingluan will take care of this matter."
Although she was a little surprised by the sudden appearance of two more senior sisters, Mu Qingluan didn't mind it. She was a little excited when she thought that she would have someone to back her up with two powerful senior sisters. Especially when she thought that she could ask her senior sister to teach Feng Qing'er, the annoying guy, a lesson, she felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation.
Afterwards, Mu Qingluan took Xiao Yixian and Qinglin to arrange accommodation. Xiao Yixian and Qinglin said hello to Xiao Ling and the others, and left with Mu Qingluan.
They talked as they walked. Mu Qingluan enthusiastically introduced the various buildings and areas of Xingyun Pavilion. Xiao Yixian and Qinglin listened curiously and asked questions from time to time. The laughter and conversation of the three gradually faded away.
After the three women left, Venerable Feng turned to Xiao Ling and Yao Chen, and said with a somewhat impatient tone: "Xiao Ling, Yao Chen, come with me, I will take you to the secret room." He knew that for Yao Chen, resurrection was urgent.
Xiao Ling and Yao Chen exchanged glances and then nodded, indicating that they understood Master Feng's arrangements.
Then, Venerable Feng turned his gaze to Yao Tianhuo and said, "Brother Tianhuo, please wait here for a moment. I will take Yao Chen and Xiao Ling to make arrangements first, and then I will come back to find you and personally arrange a place for you to practice."
Yao Tianhuo smiled lightly and replied in a relaxed tone: "Haha, no problem, I'll wait here for a while. You guys should focus on the resurrection first, that is the most urgent matter."
As he spoke, Yao Tianhuo took off the bone inflammation ring on his finger and handed it to Yao Chen. The ring flickered with a faint light on Yao Tianhuo's fingertips, and then fell steadily into Yao Chen's hand.
Venerable Feng nodded slightly, and then he could not wait to open a space crack in front of him, turned to Xiao Ling and Yao Chen and said: "Let's go, through this space passage is the secret room."
Xiao Ling nodded to show his understanding, and then he stepped into the temporarily opened space passage. Yao Chen was not willing to be left behind, and his figure flashed like a light smoke, following Xiao Ling's steps.
After both of them entered the space channel, Master Feng nodded to Yao Tianhuo, then with a flash of his body, he also stepped into the space channel.
As the three of them entered the space crack, without the support of Master Feng's fighting spirit and spatial force, the space channel began to slowly close until it completely disappeared into the air.
……
As Master Feng's space channel gradually closed, Xiao Ling, Yao Chen and Master Feng appeared in a secret room one after another.
There is not a trace of light here, and the surroundings are shrouded in deep darkness, but this is not a problem for these practitioners with high levels of cultivation.
Venerable Feng waved his hand lightly, and a gentle fighting spirit flowed out from his hand. The candles in the secret room were immediately lit, and the jumping flames illuminated the entire space.
There are complex runes carved on the walls of the secret room. These runes emit a faint glow under the light of the fire, adding a touch of mystery to the secret room.
The interior of the secret room is spacious, and in the center is a refining table made of obsidian. The surface of the table is as smooth as a mirror, and it has obviously been carefully polished.
There are some shelves in the corners, with various tools and materials displayed on them. I don’t know what they are used for.
Venerable Feng looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Xiao Ling and Yao Chen: "This secret room is the most confidential place in Xingyun Pavilion. I am the only one who knows it. It should meet your requirements."
Xiao Ling looked around the secret room carefully and nodded slightly, feeling barely satisfied with the environment here.
After all, helping Yao Chen to refine his body again this time might allow Yao Chen to directly break through to the Douluo Saint realm.
In such a situation, there would definitely be a lot of noise, so they had to make sure that this place would not be noticed by others.
In order to ensure that there were no mistakes, Xiao Ling decided to set up several more complex formations in this secret room to conceal the aura. He didn't want any accidents to happen at the critical moment, so it was always good to make more preparations.
As Xiao Ling moved, some complex energy patterns began to appear in the secret room. These patterns gradually lit up and formed formations one after another.
These formations are intertwined to form a powerful energy barrier, wrapping the entire secret room tightly.
Seeing Xiao Ling being so cautious, Yao Chen couldn't help but ask curiously: "Xiao Ling, you are so cautious, is there any special consideration?"
Facing the doubtful looks from Yao Chen and Feng Zunzun, Xiao Ling just smiled lightly and did not directly explain. Then he waved his sleeves and a stone coffin fell to the ground. Then, a terrifying pressure that made people's heart palpitate slowly spread out from the stone coffin... (End of this chapter)
