On the spot, after Xiao Ling, Qing Lin and others left, the patrolling female disciples in Sound Valley suddenly became lively and chattering away.
"That is Master Xiao Ling! I heard that he is very young before, but I didn't expect that he is actually younger than the rumors, and he is so handsome! He is completely different from those eighth-grade alchemists in my impression. It's the same." A round-faced female disciple said with stars in her eyes, unconsciously clenching the hilt of the sword in her hand.
“Yes, yes!” The female disciple with a bun next to her hurriedly agreed, “I also heard that he broke through to Douzong before he was twenty years old. This talent is simply unbelievable. Even more powerful than our senior sister Ning Yuxi! "
"You said that Master Xiao Ling was personally invited by Senior Sister Ning Yuxi. Do they have any special relationship?" Another oval-faced female disciple blinked her eyes. He guessed with curiosity on his face.
When the other female disciples heard this, they all nodded, their eyes flashing with gossip. For a moment, the patrol matters were forgotten by them.
"Why are you all gathering here? Why don't you go on patrol!" Just when the topics of these female disciples were getting further and further, and they seemed to be unable to stop, an old woman appeared out of nowhere.
She frowned, her face full of majesty, her eyes swept across the group of chirping female disciples like lightning, and she shouted harshly, her voice containing powerful coercion, making the surrounding air seem to become... Become solemn.
“Yes!” The female disciples were startled, and immediately became panicked and hurriedly dispersed. In the blink of an eye, the old woman was the only one left, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of the wind blew.
“Alas, I don’t know what the abilities of Master Xiao Ling are, and whether he can heal the injuries caused by the Supreme Elder for so many years...”
The old woman was deep in the same place. Sighing, as the sigh dissipated, her figure slowly disappeared into the air and disappeared.
...
In the Sound Valley, the sky is as blue as a wash, and three long rainbows streak across the sky like shooting stars, rushing towards the hinterland of the Sound Valley and the depths of the mountains.
In Changhong, it was Xiao Ling and others, with the patrolling female disciple from Yin Valley leading the way, and they were traveling smoothly.
In just ten minutes, Xiao Ling saw a palace in the distance that was different from the surrounding ones. The palace is elegant and refined, standing in front, exuding a peaceful and quiet atmosphere.
The temple was heavily guarded, and a group of disciples in uniforms stood neatly, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes. The leader of the guards was wearing a battle armor, with a heroic appearance, and his strong figure was even more capable in the armor. His short hair was neat and his face was stern, exuding an aura that was inviolable.
There are even more pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness, alert to even the slightest movement in all directions, as if no disturbance can escape their eyes.
The woman's delicate body flashed lightly, her flying route suddenly turned, and she rushed down towards the palace below like a bird, with graceful and neat posture.
Xiao Ling and others flashed forward and followed closely behind. They walked through the air, their clothes fluttering, and finally landed lightly on the ground.
Xiao Ling raised his eyes and looked at the palace in front of him. It was not huge in scale and was located here in a regular manner.
However, just by looking at it, you can see that it is very different from other buildings. The appearance of the palace is extremely exquisite, every carving is meticulous, every line is smooth and natural, and its exquisiteness far exceeds that of the surrounding buildings.
Even among this gorgeous and extraordinary building complex, it is still as eye-catching as the brightest star in the night sky.
The guards here had obviously received the news in advance. When the female disciple brought Xiao Ling and the two down, they remained motionless and did not stop them. There was no surprise in their eyes, but a look of surprise in their eyes. With a respectful look.
They separated neatly to both sides and made way for three people to pass.
The leading female disciple whispered a few words to a guard. The guard nodded slightly, with a flash of understanding in his eyes. Then, the female disciple greeted Xiao Ling and Qing Lin with a smile and walked towards the palace gate.
When Xiao Ling and the others arrived at the entrance of the hall, the two guards immediately stepped forward with solemn expressions and placed their hands firmly on the two doors.
Accompanied by the slight creaking sound of the door shaft turning, a melodious sound of the piano came into the ears like a flexible silk thread.
The sound of the piano seems to come from the depths of the years. When it is soothing, it is like a quiet stream flowing in the mountains and forests. It is crisp and sweet, ticking the soul; when it is exciting, it is like a horse galloping in the wilderness, with the sound of hoofbeats. Formation, but without losing the elegant charm, tapping the resonance deep in the soul, leading people into an ethereal and distant realm.
At the same time, as the breath circulated inside the hall, a faint fragrance hit my nostrils. The aroma is neither strong nor pungent, but has a faint sandalwood scent, as if it is a flavor accumulated over time. The fragrance and the sound of the piano complement each other perfectly, making people feel like they are in a fairyland far away from the world.
As the door is fully opened, the line of sight gradually becomes clearer, and the scene inside the hall gradually unfolds before our eyes. The main hall does not appear to be too grand, but every detail reveals delicacy and magnificence.
Exquisite calligraphy and paintings hang on the walls, each of which seems to contain profound cultural heritage. The floor is paved with lustrous marble, which is engraved with exquisite patterns, neither too cumbersome nor monotonous.
Xiao Ling looked along the sound of the piano and saw a woman sitting quietly in the center of the hall like a beautiful flower blooming outside the world.
Both hands flick the strings, as if they are integrated with the piano. Her movements are elegant and smooth, and every note seems to flow directly from her fingertips, with an indescribable charm.
This woman looks to be about 25 or 26 years old. Her skin is like snow. Under the soft light of the hall, it glows like mutton-fat jade, as if she can squeeze out water with just a pinch. .
The exquisite facial features are like a work of art carefully carved by God, and the eyebrows are like distant daisy, like ink ribbons dancing lightly in the mountains. When they are slightly frowned, they seem to contain endless emotions;
The eyes are like a deep pool, clear and bright, revealing a profound look that has experienced all things in the world. They are like hiding thousands of flowers, and can attract people's soul deeply with just one glance.
The bridge of the nose is straight and small, like the purest jade peak on the top of the snow-capped mountains; the lips are smooth and red, like delicate roses blooming in spring, and the slightly raised corners of the mouth carry a hint of a smile that makes people feel like they are bathed in the spring breeze.
The long hair hangs down to her waist like black satin, shimmering with luster, and a few strands of hair are playfully scattered on both sides of her cheeks, adding a bit of laziness and charm to her.
She just sat there quietly, with a graceful figure and elegant curves, like a beautiful sculpture. The lips were slightly raised, and an elegant smile gently bloomed on the face, as if the spring breeze was blowing across the lake, leaving layers of ripples.
The whole body exudes a unique temperament, which has the freshness and refinement of a girl and the charm and charm of a mature woman. These two qualities are perfectly integrated in her, forming a deep and charming attraction that makes people involuntarily attracted, and their eyes seem to be firmly locked and unable to look away.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling had to sigh with emotion. The beauty of this woman was like the most gorgeous treasure in the world, so beautiful that it was breathtaking. He has seen many stunning beauties, but he has never seen anyone like the woman in front of him. She seems to have an invisible force that can deeply pull people's hearts and souls.
After briefly marveling at the woman's peerless beauty, Xiao Ling quickly regained his composure and began to wonder about the woman's depth. Involuntarily, he released his soul perception and wanted to find out more.
Under the influence of the soul perception of Dzogchen in the spiritual realm, Xiao Ling easily detected the woman's cultivation. She is much stronger than five-star heroes like Tang Zhen and Feng Xian, but compared with Xuan Kongzi, she lacks the sense of majesty. According to Xiao Ling's estimation, this woman is probably a high-level Dou Zun of around seven or eight stars.
Somewhat to Xiao Ling's expectation, this woman's soul cultivation is also quite solid, at least she has reached the middle stage of the spiritual realm. Among ordinary practitioners, such soul power is already quite powerful. As Xiao Ling and others entered, the fingertips of the stunning beauty paused lightly, and the sound of the piano suddenly stopped. She slowly raised her head, her eyes passed through the space of the hall and fell on Xiao Ling. There wasn't too much surprise in her eyes, just a faint look and a little curiosity.
Her movements were extremely elegant, as if even a simple turn of her head had an indescribable rhythm. She gently put down her hands, the trembling of the strings gradually subsided, and the entire hall fell into a kind of silence.
"A distinguished guest is here, and I am welcome from afar. My name is Suli, and I am the current master of the Sound Valley, Master Xiao Ling. I have long admired you." Her voice was like the sound of nature, crisp yet soft, and every word seemed to have been carefully crafted, making her feel like a guest. People feel relaxed and happy when they hear it.
Her eyes swept over Xiao Ling, Qing Lin and others one by one, and finally returned to Xiao Ling. She smiled slightly. The smile was like a flower blooming in spring, warm and dazzling, making people unable to help themselves. The earth wants to be close.
"Xiao Ling from Xingyun Pavilion was invited by Miss Ning Yuxi to pay a special visit." Xiao Ling said and politely returned the gift. His tone was steady and calm, neither humble nor humble. Without any arrogance, he smiled and complimented.
“Our Pavilion Master has mentioned the name of Master Sugu before. He is a man of unparalleled splendor. I am lucky enough to see him today. It is really otherworldly and amazing.”
Qing Qing on the side Seeing this, Ling hurriedly followed Xiao Ling's movements, slightly cupped his hands, bowed and bowed.
"When I was young, I traveled around the Zhongzhou Continent, and I was fortunate enough to have an encounter with the Master of Fengxian Pavilion. At that time, he was already the Deputy Pavilion Master of Xingyun Pavilion. In terms of qualifications, he can be regarded as mine. "Elders." Suli recalled with a smile, a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes.
"Unfortunately, I was not able to catch a glimpse of Senior Yao Zun. Nowadays, Senior Yao Zun's whereabouts are unknown and his life and death are uncertain. It is really disappointing." Speaking of this, Su Li There was a look of regret on his face.
Not only is it a pity that a generation of heroes has been wiped out, but what is even more regrettable is that if Master Yao had not been missing, Yin Gu could have directly asked him to help refine the elixir.
I think back then, Master Yao was also a person with a bold personality, easy-going and not as arrogant as other alchemists. He was often willing to refine elixirs for others, so Master Yao had many friends in Zhongzhou and had many followers. If Yin Gu came to ask for help, Master Yao would definitely not refuse given his character.
“However, now that Xingyun Pavilion has a peerless genius like you, Master Xiao Ling, who surpasses Master Yao, I believe that in the near future, Xingyun Pavilion will be able to regain its glory and even surpass its past glory.” As Su Li said this, she turned her gaze to Xiao Ling, with a hint of expectation flashing in her eyes.
Although he failed to ask Master Yao to help, the young alchemy master in front of him was equally extraordinary. Perhaps he could provide a solution to Yin Gu's current predicament.
After hearing this, Xiao Ling and Qing Lin felt a little strange, but they did not show too obvious expressions.
The expression on Xiao Ling's face did not change, he smiled slightly, with a humble expression, and said with cupped hands: "Master Su Gu is so complimentary. Although I have some talent, I am still far behind Senior Yao Zun.
"Master Xiao Ling is very humble and truly behaves like a gentleman. However, the master does not need to be too humble. It is extraordinary to have such achievements at such an age. Su Li nodded slightly, the expectation in her eyes not diminishing.
After the two sides exchanged a few simple polite words, Suli got to the point.
"Now that things have happened, I won't beat around the bush. Ning Yuxi must have told Master Xiao Ling about the general situation before. Our Supreme Elder of Yin Valley is seriously injured and is in critical condition. He is in urgent need of something called Use the elixir of Lingyuan Fuheng Dan to heal the wound."
"But the refining of this elixir is extremely complicated, as it requires the use of strange fire, and there are only a handful of alchemists who can refine this elixir. We have made arrangements and plan to hire Valley Master Tang Zhen of Burning Flame Valley and several experienced seventh-level alchemists to refine it together at all costs."
"Fortunately, I met Yu Xi by chance when he was out. When it comes to Master Xiao Ling, Master Xiao Ling is now famous throughout the continent for his alchemy skills, and he has also conquered the strange fire. It is undoubtedly the most ideal choice for the master to refine this key elixir. "
Xiao Ling nodded solemnly, signaling Su Li to continue speaking, while thinking secretly in her heart. What kind of cultivation level does Supreme Elder Yin Gu have? The Master of Sound Valley is already a high-level Dou Zun, and the Taishang Elder must be at least at the peak level of Dou Zun. If it is such a powerful existence, then the seventh-grade high-grade elixir should have limited effect on it. Is there any hidden secret in it?
Su Li took a deep breath and continued: "Normally speaking, we Yin Gu should go to Xingyun Pavilion in person to ask for the elixir. This is the etiquette we should have. But this situation is extremely special. In order to successfully activate the effect of the Spiritual Source Replenishing Pill, there must be a strange fire nearby to assist in refining it. However, the Supreme Elder is seriously injured and cannot move at all."
"Therefore, we can only trouble Master Xiao Ling to come to our Sound Valley with a very guilty heart. We at Sound Valley will bear in mind the inconvenience caused to you this time, and we hope that Master will forgive you. "
As soon as Su Li finished speaking, she stood up slowly, her expression dignified. She walked steadily to Xiao Ling, squatted down lightly, placed her right hand on top of her left hand in front of her, then gently bent down to salute, her movements were neat and clean, showing her feminine gentleness.
Her movements were slow and graceful, and every detail was elegant. A few strands of hair fell from her forehead, adding a bit of softness. "For this matter, please rely on Master Xiao Ling."
Xiao Ling's eyes followed Su Li's movements, and when he saw her gracefully saluting, he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart.
At the moment, Dou Qi was running, and a soft and strong energy surged out of his body, holding Suli up steadily.
Then, Xiao Ling waved her hand, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, showed a gentle smile, and said in a calm and relaxed tone: "Master Suli Valley, you are so polite. I have an agreement with Miss Ning Yuxi from Guigu. , since I have agreed, I will never break my promise to others.”
“Furthermore, coming to Yingu this time is very important to me. As far as I'm concerned, there's really no trouble. I happened to be dealing with some things in the Burning Flame Valley. Luckily, the distance between the Burning Flame Valley and the Sound Valley is not far away. It's like traveling all the way, but it didn't cost me much. How much energy."
Seeing Xiao Ling's calm expression and sincere eyes, Su Li felt the tight string in her heart loosen a little. Before, she was really a little worried. After all, in the eyes of the world, alchemists are mostly arrogant people. People always come to ask for elixirs. If they condescend to come to refine them, many people will be dissatisfied.
This stereotype is deeply ingrained in people's minds, and Su Li has always been worried that Xiao Ling will be concerned about it, so she is so polite in her words and deeds.
However, at this moment, Xiao Ling's every move, word and deed made her feel relieved. As the rumors say, although Xiao Ling has amazing talent, he does not have the slightest arrogance of ordinary geniuses. It made her good impression of Xiao Ling increase even more.
"Master Xiao Ling, if you are so considerate, everyone in Yingu will remember this kindness." Suli leaned forward again to express her gratitude.
"Valley Master, thank you for the award. Doctors have benevolence. Although I am not a professional doctor, as an alchemist, I should also have the feeling of helping the world and saving people." Xiao Ling said with a serious look and a sincere tone.
After a short pause, Xiao Ling frowned slightly and asked with a bit of solemnity: "However, Master Suli Valley, there is something I don't know. Although I don't know the depth of Taishang Elder's cultivation, but the seventh-grade elixir It stands to reason that medicine has limited effect on such a strong person. I wonder if the Valley Master has an explanation for this?”
Listening to Xiao Ling’s inquiry, Su Li nodded slightly and explained solemnly: “Xiao Ling” Master, although this Spiritual Source Restoration Pill is only a seventh-grade high-grade elixir, it is extremely special and has the potential to be refined into an eighth-grade nine-color pill.
"If you take the seventh-grade Spiritual Source Restoration Pill. , the Supreme Elder relied on his profound cultivation to temporarily suppress the injury with the power of the elixir, preventing it from worsening within twenty years. But this is ultimately just a stop-gap measure, just like using a dam to block floods. It only provides temporary relief, but does not fundamentally solve the problem. ”
"If it can be refined into an eighth-grade third-turn spiritual source rebalancing elixir, the situation will be completely different. An elixir of this quality has a certain probability of helping the Supreme Elder recover from his injuries. Moreover, the elixir's The better the quality, the better the recovery effect will be.”
