Chapter 271 Refining
Although the snake people feel sad to see Queen Medusa leave, they also understand that this is for the future of the entire tribe.
Xiao Ling waved her hand gently, and her tone was calm and indifferent with a hint of determination: "Okay, that's it for now. I'll go back and prepare to refine the puppet. You guys wait for my good news."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but then he remembered something, stopped, and turned his eyes to Queen Medusa. His voice was gentle and relaxed: "Medusa, do you have anything to say to the snake people? Before I come back from refining the puppet, you can use this time to explain it to them."
Queen Medusa nodded slightly, with a hint of gratitude in her tone: "Okay, I understand. Xiao Ling, thank you very much for the puppet thing."
Xiao Ling just waved his hand and said easily: "It's a small matter, you're welcome. I won't stay here any longer."
After saying that, he turned around and walked along yesterday's road towards the yard where he had rested before.
Upon seeing this, Qing Lin and the Little Medical Fairy decided not to stay any longer. Their relationship with the Snake Tribe is not as close as Zi Yan's, and they feel it is inappropriate to stay here longer. So, they said a brief goodbye to Medusa and Zi Yan, and quickly followed Xiao Ling.
As Xiao Ling and others left, Queen Medusa did not waste time. She began to explain various matters after her departure to the elders of the Snake Tribe. After all, this separation may take several years, and as the leader of the pack, she needs to make sure everything is in order.
Queen Medusa knew she needed some time to rest and recover. Her soul had experienced huge consumption during the evolution process, and it was also difficult for her to control her new body. Fortunately, there was no pressure to fight at the moment, which gave her some breathing space. She was secretly glad that the little sky-swallowing python had eaten enough just now, otherwise, she might not be able to hold on for too long.
……
Xiao Ling, Qing Lin and the Little Fairy Doctor walked slowly towards the small courtyard while chatting easily. They passed through several ornately decorated buildings and soon reached their destination.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, the little medical fairy suddenly thought that the room had not been tidied up last night. How embarrassing it would be if Qing Lin saw that messy scene. Her heart tightened, and she quickly glanced at Xiao Ling resentfully, then quickened her pace and returned to the bedroom first.
"You guys sit down for a while, I'll go and sort it out." The little medical fairy's voice came from the bedroom, with a hint of urgency.
Xiao Ling felt a little baffled by the sudden glare from the little medical fairy, but he didn't take it to heart.
He rubbed Qinglin's head and said in a relaxed tone: "I'm going to refine the puppet first. After I finish refining the puppet, we have to leave the snake people. This is not far from Stone Desert City. You ride Xiao Zi It will take more than ten minutes to get there. You haven't been back to the Motie Mercenary Group for so many years. You might as well go back and take a look. After all, that's where we met. You lived there for a while and you didn't know about it when we left. When can I come back?”
After listening to Xiao Ling's words, Qing Lin's eyes flashed with nostalgia. She nodded and agreed: "Master, you are right. It's time to go back and take a look. I haven't seen Sister Xuelan for a long time. I don't know how the Motie Mercenary Group is developing now."
Qing Lin does have a special affection for the Motie Mercenary Group. After all, they were the ones who helped Qing Lin during his most difficult moment. Although she was only working as a maid at that time and her life was not luxurious, she already felt very satisfied. More importantly, it was at that place that she met Xiao Ling, and that's how she became who she is today.
Although Qinglin's life with Xiao Ling has been stable over the years, she occasionally thinks of her past time in the Motie Mercenary Group. She remembered that Xiao Ding and Xiao Li had come back to the Xiao family several times and met them once. However, what she misses most is Xue Lan, the person who cared for her so much when she was in the Motie Mercenary Group. She hasn't seen her for many years.
Xiao Ling smiled slightly and said in a relaxed tone: "I heard Xiao Li mention before that the Motie Mercenary Group is developing quite smoothly now. If you go back, you might as well bring them something useful, which can be considered a token of your kindness. ”
After speaking, Xiao Ling shook his head slightly, as if he didn't want to continue this topic. He turned to Qinglin and waved goodbye: "Okay, I have to go to work, see you later."
As he finished speaking, Xiao Ling waved to Qing Lin in a friendly manner, then turned around and walked briskly towards the direction of the training room. His back gradually disappeared around the corner of the corridor, while Qing Lin stood there, looking at the direction Xiao Ling left, with a faint smile on his face.
……
Entering the training room, Xiao Ling first used the unique skills he learned from Yao Tianhuo and arranged an exquisite formation. This formation can isolate the inside and outside breath for a long time, providing a platform for his upcoming refining work. The perfect secluded space.
After setting up the formation, he walked to the center of the training room with ease, took a deep breath, and waved his arm gently. Following his movements, the three bodies seemed to be pulled by invisible forces and landed lightly on the floor, ready to be refined by him.
If you observe carefully, you may notice that although these three bodies are generally well preserved, the two bodies on the left seem to have been slightly deteriorated compared to the body on the right, and there are also some irregularities on them. Few blemishes.
The reason is actually quite simple. The reason why the two bodies on the left look a little deteriorated is because they were dug out by Xiao Ling from the graveyards of the Jin Yan Sect's previous masters.
According to the records on those tombstones, the original owners of these two bodies had the strength of a junior Dou Zong before they were alive. Therefore, after so many years, some changes are inevitable.
However, Xiao Ling doesn't mind this. He believes that even the body of a junior Douzong can glow with new vitality after his refining.
To be honest, Xiao Ling went to "visit" the cemeteries of the three major sects a few days ago. This was also the first time for him. He made a lot of noise at that time. Looking back now, the experience was really exciting.
The puppet on the far right is the puppet of Lord Turtle Spirit that was previously obtained from the ruins of Dou Zun. Although it has gone through many years, because it is a Dou Zun-level puppet, it still maintains its original appearance without any damage. Its surface exudes a faint silver light, which looks quite strange.
Xiao Ling took out three puppets this time and planned to refine them all at once. He planned to keep two of them in the snake people as a protective force for the clan.
As for the third puppet, Xiao Ling plans to use the body of the Venerable Turtle Spirit to carefully refine it. Xiao Ling plans to use it as his personal guard. It can not only help him absorb the pill thunder when refining medicine, but also act as a guard when necessary. Bodyguard, ensure safety.
Since Xiao Ling practiced "Dayan Jue", he can easily focus on multi-tasking, which is no longer difficult for him. Therefore, refining three puppets at the same time will not slow down the progress for him. Of course, if he tried to refine more than three at a time, he might run into some trouble.
He plans to refine three puppets at once, which is just the right number. This arrangement will not only allow him to give full play to the multi-purpose ability of "Dayan Jue", ensure the high efficiency of the refining, but also avoid the problem of being distracted. Excessive quantity will affect the precision of refining, ensuring that the quality of each puppet reaches its optimal state.
Then, Xiao Ling took out the Ten Thousand Soul Banner from the system space with ease. He waved lightly, and three soul bodies emerged from the flag, as if three wisps of light smoke had condensed into shape. As soon as these souls appeared, they knelt down on one knee in unison, lowered their heads, and showed respect to Xiao Ling.
Among these three soul bodies, the most powerful one is the one based on the soul of the Iron Protector and carefully cultivated by Xiao Ling. It first swallowed the souls of Yan Luotian and Xie Biyan, and then absorbed the souls of several Dou Huang-level experts, barely raising its strength to Dou Zun level. Even so, Xiao Ling still let it continue to devour other soul bodies in order to further strengthen it.
However, since the Iron Guardian's soul body climbed to the realm of Dou Zun, if he tried to strengthen himself by devouring other soul bodies, the effect would not be that significant. Just like after eating a full buffet, no matter how much you stuff it, you can't eat much, Xiao Ling also realized this. After this experiment, Xiao Ling realized that each soul body has its own growth limit, and it is not possible to continuously enhance your cultivation by devouring other soul bodies endlessly.
"However, I am quite satisfied to be able to cultivate a soul body that is barely comparable to the Dou Zun level." Xiao Ling touched his chin and said relaxedly. "From this point of view, it should not hold back the body of Lord Turtle Spirit. It should be easy to refine a heaven-level puppet at the level of Dou Zun."
The other two soul bodies are also the result of Xiao Ling's careful cultivation. They were originally Dou Huang level experts. Under Xiao Ling's guidance, they devoured the souls of several Dou Huangs and Dou Wangs. After some hard work, their strength finally rose to Dou Zong level. Although it was only the elementary level, it was enough to refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet. The minimum requirement.
And Xiao Ling was planning to combine the two soul bodies with the two primary Douzong bodies to refine the Celestial Demon Puppet. Although this configuration can only create the most basic Earth Demon Leader level puppets, in remote areas like the Northwest Continent, as long as the snake people do not take the initiative to cause trouble, these two Dou Zong level puppets are enough to provide the tribe with enough resources. Protect.
Then, Xiao Ling flicked her fingers lightly and touched the Na ring on his finger. A soft white light flashed by, and three shimmering magic cores appeared silently in front of him, suspended in mid-air.
In front of Xiao Ling, there were two ordinary seventh-level magic cores floating quietly, which he had obtained earlier. There is an eighth-level magic core next to it, which exudes more intense energy fluctuations. This is the treasure Xiao Ling discovered from the Na Ring worn by the Venerable Turtle Spirit when he was exploring the ruins of the Venerable Turtle Spirit. Xiao Ling had a total of three such high-level magic cores on hand. After using this one, he still had two left.
Holding the eighth-level magic core that exudes a faint golden light, Xiao Ling whispered to himself, with a hint of expectation in his tone: "Don't let me down, this is the eighth-level magic core, and it is equipped with a Dou Zun-level body. And the soul body, this time I want to refine a Dou Zun-level puppet. I hope I can succeed in one fell swoop.”
After preparing all the main materials, Xiao Ling took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. This action seemed to take away all the distracting thoughts in his heart and made his state of mind peaceful.
When he opened his eyes again, only the light of concentration remained in his shining blue pupils.
Then, Xiao Ling waved his hand gently, and the three bodies seemed to be pulled by invisible threads, slowly rising into the air and floating quietly.
Then, Xiao Ling stretched out his finger, and three colorful flames appeared out of thin air above his body. Their colors were as brilliant as a rainbow, and then they burned violently. This is Xiao Ling multi-tasking, mobilizing the strange fire in his body to finely temper these three bodies.
Following the activation of Xiao Ling's hand seals, three flames jumped in the air, and the temperature emitted increased sharply. The air in the entire training room seemed to tremble under the high temperature. The light of the flames illuminated the room brightly, as if time had frozen at this moment.
The two Douzong-level bodies shriveled up quickly under the heat of the flames, as if the water was evaporated in an instant. A faint sheen began to appear on their surfaces. This was the process in which the bodies gradually solidified under high temperatures and impurities were removed.
As for the Dou Zun-level body, although it also gradually shrank in the flames, the speed of change was obviously much slower. The luster on its surface is deeper, as if it contains more powerful power. Every inch of this body became tougher under the baptism of flames, and a little bit of black corpse aura gradually floated out and dissipated in the air.
As Xiao Ling began to refine the puppet, the subtle sounds in the training room gradually fell silent, leaving only the slight crackling sound of the flame burning, adding a touch of rhythm to the quiet space.
The air in the room seemed to be enlivened by the dance of the flames, and every jump of the flames carried a mysterious rhythm.
In this space illuminated by the light of the flame, time seems to become slow and deep, every breath is synchronized with the beating of the flame, and every heartbeat echoes the rhythm of refining. Xiao Ling's figure looked particularly focused under the firelight. Every movement he made was smooth and smooth, giving people a sense of calmness and smoothness.
At this moment, the training room turned into a mysterious realm independent of the world, with only flames, light, and Xiao Ling's firm and calm presence.
Here, the hustle and bustle of the outside world has gone away, leaving only the pure creative process of refining the puppet, and the endless pursuit of perfection that dances with the flames.
……
In the pavilion in the courtyard, the Little Medical Fairy, Qing Lin and Zi Yan were sitting together, chatting easily.
Zi Yan was playing with a colorful little snake in her hands. Her fingers were dexterously caressing the snake, and the little snake was docilely entangled between her slender fingers, occasionally spitting out tiny snake messages, as if enjoying the purple Yan's touch.
Around the pavilion, flowers are in bloom and green leaves are green, adding a bit of vitality to this leisurely afternoon. The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves and onto the stone table, forming mottled light and shadow. In the pond nearby, several koi carps were swimming leisurely, occasionally jumping out of the water and making ripples.
Qing Lin picked up a cup of tea, blew it gently to let the tea fragrance overflow, and then tasted it with a small sip, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes. The little medical fairy was leaning on the pillar of the pavilion, holding an old book in his hand, flipping through it from time to time, occasionally raising his head to participate in the conversation between the two, with a faint smile on his face.
Zi Yan was completely immersed in the interaction with the little snake. Her laughter was clear and sweet, bringing a lively atmosphere to this peaceful courtyard. The colorful little snake seemed to feel her happiness, and the color of its body became more vivid as her emotions changed.
This picture is like a harmonious and warm picture. Everyone is enjoying the tranquility and joy, as if time has stopped at this moment and all worries have gone with the wind.
Zi Yan took out a few pills from her sleeves and gently handed them to the colorful little snake. These pills exude a faint aroma, and you can tell at a glance that they are not made from ordinary medicinal materials.
As soon as the colorful little snake saw the pill, its purple gem-like eyes immediately narrowed into a slit. It stuck out its tongue excitedly, rubbed Zi Yan's palm affectionately, and then quickly swallowed all the pills into its mouth. . Its movements are agile and elegant, revealing a natural nobility.
After swallowing the pill, the little snake burped with satisfaction, with a satisfied expression on its face, as if to express its satisfaction. Then, its body twisted gently in Zi Yan's hand, He seemed to be expressing his gratitude.
Zi Yan looked at the little snake's satisfied look and couldn't help laughing. She gently stroked the smooth scales of the little snake, with a hint of endearment in her tone: "Do you like these pills? Do they feel particularly delicious?" She continued, with a hint of mischief flashing in her eyes, "This is that guy Xiao Ling It was specially made for me, using the precious eighth-level medicinal material Yuxiang Sacred Fruit. I can’t bear to eat more of it myself, but for the sake of Sister Medusa, I’m specifically allowing you to taste it.”
The little snake seemed to understand Zi Yan's words, its eyes shone with gratitude, and its body wrapped more intimately around Zi Yan's fingers, as if to express its gratitude.
Zi Yan's smile became even brighter. She knew that these pills were of great benefit to the growth of the little snake, and she was very happy to see that the little sky-swallowing python liked them so much.
Since Queen Medusa completed the evolution of purifying her bloodline, she only briefly returned to human form and had an explanation with the elders of the snake people. After the explanation, she returned to her sleeping state and handed over control of her body to the little sky-swallowing python again.
