"That's true. Relaxing and relaxing once in a while is also a good refreshment for your cultivation journey." Xiao Ling nodded lightly and continued in an easy-going tone,
After a slight pause, the topic changed immediately, " Also, don't always call me 'Master' or 'Master'. Just call me directly like before. You are so polite, but it makes me feel that we are alienated."
Medusa nodded noncommittally, her face still as calm as water, but her slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed her. There seemed to be a wave of excitement in my heart, a little bit of joy, but no one noticed it.
Xiao Ling did not continue to struggle with this topic. He turned to Medusa, with some concern in his eyes, and asked: "Looking at your current state, you have already broken through the eighth level. Come to think of it. Your life on Donglong Island should be pretty good, right?"
"With Zi? Yan's relationship, I am indeed relatively well taken care of by the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. Without the resources and help they provide, I would not be able to break through to the eighth level of cultivation now." Medusa nodded, looking calm and noncommittal. He said, although his words were indifferent, he could also hear his gratitude for this help.
"However, although this is a rare opportunity for me, your previous 'dereliction of duty' towards me cannot be revealed so easily." Immediately, Medusa changed the topic and raised a smile at the corner of her mouth. He spoke with a vague arc and a somewhat teasing expression. There was a little complaint in his eyes mixed with a different kind of intimacy.
"Okay, don't mention that matter again. I promise, I will prepare the twenty Transformation Pills as soon as possible." Xiao Ling sighed softly and rubbed his brow helplessly. , then showed a smile and said.
He paused, and a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes, "If I guessed correctly, you are anxious to get these transformation pills for the sake of the snake people, right?"
" You're right, it is, after all. But the queen of the snake people is responsible for the fate of the entire snake people. She must consider more things for the development of the snake people. This is my responsibility and my mission." Medusa nodded solemnly and said to Xiao Ling. Thoughts indicate agreement.
"The snake people are really lucky to have a leader like you. Unlike me, as for the Xiao family of the Jiama Empire, I have no interest in worrying about it." Xiao Ling smiled softly, There was a hint of helplessness in his tone, but also a hint of smile.
Speaking of this, the Xiao family's affairs also appeared in Xiao Ling's mind. He couldn't help but think to himself, wondering how the Xiao family is developing now?
However, with the help I gave before, it should be developing pretty well. But Xiao Ling no longer wants to worry about those things. He has left a lot of benefits to the Xiao family, and he has done his best to the Xiao family.
Medusa shook her head and did not answer Xiao Ling's topic. She knew in her heart that Xiao Ling's situation was completely different from hers.
She also learned a lot of news from Zi Yan. Along the way, Xiao Ling’s family didn’t give him much help. On the contrary, after Xiao Ling grew up, the Xiao family took advantage of him. was able to develop rapidly.
As for Medusa herself, she grew up among the snake people. It was under the careful training of the snake people that she became the real queen of Medusa. This relationship makes her always put the development of the snake people first, which is completely different from the relationship between Xiao Ling and the Xiao family.
Immediately, Medusa changed the topic and asked instead: "Do you have any plans to return to the Jiama Empire in the future? I have been away from the Snake People for a long time, and I plan to go back after a while to leave some resources for the Snake People. . ”
Although Xiao Ling did not fulfill the agreement between the two, no matter what, now that the two of them are getting along together, it is appropriate to ask Xiao Ling what he thinks.
"Return to the Jia Ma Empire?" Xiao Ling gently rubbed his chin, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes. After a moment, he slowly spoke: "I plan to go to the Beast Realm to look for some opportunities after the Dan Meeting. After that, I will take Zi Yan back to the Northwest Continent to deal with some things. By then, you can too I went back to the Snake Tribe to have a look. "
Seriously speaking, Xiao Ling really has no plans to return to the Jia Ma Empire, and he has no emotional ties left there.
However, after participating in the alchemy meeting, Xiao Ling already had a clear plan. He planned to go to the Beast Realm, first help Qing Lin get the inheritance of the ancient Heavenly Serpent, and then go to the Skeleton Mountains to explore the unopened Dou Sheng ruins there.
The Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit in the Dou Sheng Ruins is a big opportunity for Zi Yan, and Xiao Ling must help Zi Yan get it.
As for waiting for the Dou Sheng ruins to open automatically, Xiao Ling had no plans. How could Xiao Ling be willing to share it with others if he could eat alone? Anyway, Yao Chen, a three-star Dou Sheng, opened a space that Dou Sheng opened during his lifetime. Not something to do lightly.
After that, Xiao Ling planned to take Zi Yan back to the northwest continent to meet Zhu Kun in the underground magma world. Zhu Kun has lived for tens of thousands of years, has extremely broad knowledge, and may know a lot of valuable information.
Perhaps, Zhu Kun also knows some news about the dragon and phoenix origin fruit. If she can get Zhu Kun's guidance, Zi Yan's subsequent process of absorbing the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit will definitely be smoother and major twists and turns can be avoided.
“I had planned to go back to the snake people when I had time. I am now an eighth-level monster, and it is not difficult for me to go back and forth. Taking too much time.”
"However, since you said that you will take Zi Yan back to the Northwest Continent in the future, then my plan may have to change. Zi Yan, that girl, can't do it without a reliable person to take care of her, so I feel more at ease accompanying her. I just I won’t go back now. When the time comes, I’ll go with you.”
Medusa said with a relaxed tone, but her eyes glanced at Xiao Ling inadvertently, her fingers light. Fidgeting with the hem of his clothes.
The tips of her ears were slightly red, which seemed to reveal her little thoughts unintentionally. He said it was for Zi Yan, but actually he just wanted to find a reason to stay with Xiao Ling.
However, Xiao Ling seemed not to notice such a subtle move by Medusa. He just nodded calmly and said with a smile: "Since you have this plan, let's set off together then. We are companions. It is natural for us to stay together and take care of each other."
"Companion..." Medusa murmured to herself, feeling a strange feeling welling up in her heart.
"Hey, Xiao Ling, Sister Medusa, I seemed to have heard my name just now. Were you two talking about me behind my back just now?"
At this moment, a line of silver light appeared. The voice of a pretty girl, as clear as a bell, suddenly came from behind. The voice was a little confused and a little playful.
Xiao Ling and Medusa were chatting. When they heard this voice, their conversation suddenly stopped. They stopped their movements at the same time, and then slowly looked back with tacit understanding, trying to Find the source of the sound.
But I saw slight ripples in the void, as if a small stone had been thrown into the calm lake. Immediately afterwards, Zi Yan's petite figure jumped out of the void.
Like a baby swallow returning to its nest, with a face full of joy and intimacy, she instantly threw herself into Xiao Ling's arms.
When Xiao Ling saw this, a helpless smile appeared on his face, he stretched out his arms and hugged Zi Yan firmly.
"Tsk tsk, isn't this Miss Zi Yan? The sun is rising in the west today? Why are you a lazy little guy like you getting up at this time? As usual, you don't Still in bed Are you sleeping soundly and having sweet dreams?”
Seeing Zi Yan’s innocent look, Xiao Ling couldn’t help but raise the corners of her mouth, joking with a bit of joking, and said softly. He lightly scratched Zi Yan's nose.
"Don't underestimate me. I am now an eighth-level monster and my strength has greatly increased. How can I still be as lazy as before? Hum, I am very diligent!" Zi Yan didn't. He angrily slapped away Xiao Ling's big hand that was making trouble on his face, puffed up his cheeks slightly, and said angrily.
It looked just like an annoyed little female dragon, with a bit of cuteness and playfulness in its feigned ferocity.
Immediately, Zi Yan twisted in Xiao Ling's arms and asked coquettishly: "Hey, you didn't answer my question just now. Are you secretly talking about me? I heard it all. You mentioned my name.”
Seeing Zi Yan twist restlessly in his arms, and the soft touch came, Xiao Ling shook his head helplessly, secretly cursing in his heart: This little girl really has no sense of propriety, if it weren't for Zi Yan now She was still young, so Xiao Ling had already lost control.
“It’s not a big deal. I just want to take you to the beast realm after attending the alchemy meeting. Then I will find some good things for you and keep them for you to eat happily. It will definitely be great for you. It's good." Xiao Ling didn't care about Zi Yan's little actions and replied casually. "Oh, what fun is there in the Beast Realm? What are you doing there? I don't want it! You, why don't you take me to other places in the future? I will come to you directly this time. I haven't seen you yet. I had a lot of fun in Zhongzhou..."
When Zi Yan heard that Xiao Ling was going to take her to the beast realm, she immediately pouted, feeling unhappy. She had just escaped from the Beast Realm, and she had nothing new about that place. The thought of going back made her head shake like a rattle.
Hearing Zi Yan's whisper and looking at her unhappy look, Medusa on the side couldn't help but smile slightly.
However, when her eyes touched the way Zi Yan and Xiao Ling cuddled up together, she felt an inexplicable displeasure in her heart, as if there was a wisp of light smoke lingering in her heart, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. .
After noticing this subtle emotion, Medusa sighed helplessly, and a touch of bitterness quietly spread in her heart.
“Well, it’s all my fault that when the soul was fused, the senior Taixu Dragon Clan’s method was too blunt and direct, leaving such troublesome sequelae, which is really troubling.”
“It’s not right for me to go to the Beast Realm later. You just want to go hang out and play, but you have serious things to do. You little girl, all you want to do is play. I'm really afraid that you'll lose your mind while playing and not realize it." Xiao Ling complained with a smile. He raised his hand and rubbed Zi Yan's purple hair, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Hmph, since Xiao Ling is determined to go, I will show mercy and reluctantly accompany you this time." Zi Yan raised her chin slightly and said with a curl of her mouth.
Looking at Zi Yan's pretentious appearance, Xiao Ling secretly cursed in her heart, I'm going to find a big opportunity for you, how can you, a little girl, still put on a reluctant look. Alas, that's all, who wants this to be his own little female dragon, just pamper her.
"Okay, I have to go to the pavilion master to discuss some matters, and then I need to go out. You can just do your own thing in peace." Xiao Ling said, taking Zi Yan out of his arms Putting it down gently, he reached out and pinched her pink face, then looked at Medusa and Zi Yan and said.
Xiao Ling later planned to hand over the ancient Immortal Element Seed extracted last night to Feng Xian and He Yaochen for careful cultivation.
With this ancient Xianyuan seed, and the Palm Sky Vase now being stored in Yao Chen’s hands, with the help of the Palm Sky Vase’s ripening ability, a Xianyuan Fruit Tree will be born soon.
When the fruit trees grow up and produce some immortal ancient fruits, the backbones of the Dou Zong level in Xingyun Pavilion will be able to quickly improve their cultivation, and the overall strength of Xingyun Pavilion will also reach a higher level.
After the matter of the Immortal Ancient Seed is settled, Xiao Ling plans to go to the depths of the Tianxin Mountains, where he will release the afterimage left by the Qinglong King and try to Whether or not to learn the cultivation method of "Blue Sky Dragon Transformation Technique" is the most critical and urgent matter at the moment.
"Oh, why are you going out again? You just returned to Xingyun Pavilion not long ago! You have to take me with you when you go out, don't leave me in Xingyun Pavilion!" Zi Yan heard that Xiao Ling was leaving , his mouth immediately pursed, and he hurriedly took Xiao Ling's hand and shook it.
Medusa next to her also looked at Xiao Ling with a puzzled expression, muttering in her heart, wondering why he had to go out again just after he came back.
"What are you thinking about in your little head? I'm not going away again. I'm just going to the depths of the Tianxing Mountains to deal with some things. I'll be back soon. You girl, it's hard to get here. Come to me, how can I not stay with you? ”
Xiao Ling raised the corners of her mouth, gently squeezed the smooth little hand in her hand, and then gently rubbed Zi Yan's little head, and said lovingly.
"So that's it. Humph, you have some conscience." When Xiao Ling said that she would always be with her, Zi Yan felt happy in her heart, but she still pretended to be He said nonchalantly.
Xiao Ling ignored Zi Yan, a little tsundere, and turned to Medusa with a slight nod, and then disappeared from here in a flash.
......
After separating from Zi Yan, Xiao Ling did not waste any time. He immediately flashed and reached the top floor of the main hall of Xingyun Pavilion in the blink of an eye. .
Looking up, at this moment, Yao Chen and Feng Xian were sitting peacefully opposite each other, with the chess pieces rising and falling, in a leisurely and leisurely manner. When Xiao Ling saw this, he couldn't help but couldn't help but laugh or cry, and secretly cursed in his heart. Could it be that these two people have already started the pension mode?
Seeing Xiao Ling coming suddenly, Yao Chen stopped what he was doing, with a bit of curiosity in his eyes, and asked: "Xiao Ling, why did you come to me? Could it be that you want to study the art of alchemy? ? Isn’t it too early at this time?”
When Feng Xian heard this, he also cast an inquiring look.
Xiao Ling did not waste any time and immediately told them everything about the ancient Immortal Origin Seed.
When talking about the origin of this ancient species, Xiao Ling just vaguely excused it by saying that it was an opportunity he got by chance during this outing, but did not reveal any more details.
Yao Chen and Feng Xian naturally understood it and did not ask any more questions about the origin of the seeds. Their eyes were immediately attracted by what Xiao Ling took out.
I saw a strange seed with a green halo floating above Xiao Ling's palm. Wisps of vitality were continuously emanating from the seed, as if there was a spiritual charm in it. It flows, and one can tell at a glance that this thing is absolutely extraordinary.
"Xiao Ling, are you serious? Can a fruit tree grown from such an inconspicuous little seed really have such magical effects?" Feng Xian said while pointing to the fairy. Gu Zhong, with a face full of doubt, turned to Xiao Lin and asked.
"This seed is indeed quite mysterious. I can detect that even though it is still a seed, it has begun to absorb the energy of the surrounding world on its own. Maybe it really has the effect that Xiao Ling said before. ”
Yao Chen himself is very powerful, and as a senior alchemist, his perception is naturally far better than Feng Xian, so he can see some clues at a glance.
Immediately, Yao Chen raised his hand gently, and the Immortal Ancient Seed slowly fell into the palm of his hand, and was then firmly put into the ring by him.
Yao Chen then calmly said: "I will cultivate this seed carefully. When it grows, I will know how effective it is when it is grown."
"Since If so, I won’t disturb you two’s leisure time, Mr. Yao.” Seeing that the matter had been explained, Xiao Ling planned to leave.
However, Yao Chen kept Xiao Ling at this time and said: "You guys are here already, so you don't have to make another trip later, just in time to learn alchemy skills from me. After such a long time, I don’t know if you have made any progress in refining medicine.”
After hearing this, Xiao Ling felt that this proposal was feasible. Anyway, the afterimage of the Azure Dragon King is in his hands, and he can meet him anytime. Why not learn the alchemy technique first, and then go see him after that, and there won't be any delay.
Afterwards, Yao Chen no longer cared about Feng Xian who was still there, and took Xiao Ling away directly, preparing to teach Xiao Ling some knowledge and experience in refining medicine.
After all, Yaochen is a master of alchemy who can refine ninth-grade elixirs. Even though Xiao Ling’s alchemy skills have now reached the level of being able to refine eighth-grade and seven-color elixirs, he still relies on Yaochen. I have learned a lot of valuable knowledge points from his careful teaching, which has really benefited me a lot.
And Yao Chen is extremely satisfied with Xiao Ling's current progress in refining medicine. Xiao Ling was actually able to refine eight-grade seven-color elixirs. With the method of ascending spirits, he could even refine eight-grade nine-color elixirs. This shows that Yao Chen's careful teachings were not in vain. This really made Yao Chen happy. My heart is full of joy, I really have a successor. (End of this chapter)
