Chapter 132 Goodbye Hai Bodong

After leaving the Monster Mountain Range, Xiao Ling flew back to the Xiao family at lightning speed like a bright stream of light.

In Xiao Ling's courtyard, Zi Yan was sitting leisurely in the pavilion, her legs swinging, one hand holding a brightly colored fruit, chewing it with big mouthfuls, juice flowing down the corners of her mouth.

The Little Medical Fairy was sitting on the soft grass with various bottles and jars placed in front of her. She was concentrating on preparing poison with a focused and serious expression.

Qinglin was squatting aside, holding food in his hands, carefully feeding a group of colorful snake pets, muttering something softly.

Suddenly, the sound of Xiao Ling landing was heard.

Zi Yan suddenly raised her head, with the fruit still in her mouth, and shouted incoherently: "Xiao Ling, you're finally back!" Then she swallowed the uneaten fruit in her hand in one gulp and ran quickly towards Xiao Ling.

When Xiao Yixian heard the voice, she stopped what she was doing, stood up and patted the grass debris on her skirt, and smiled at Xiao Ling, "It seems that it took a little less time than expected. Did things go smoothly?"

Qinglin also quickly put down the food in her hand, and the snake pets scattered. She trotted over, her face filled with joy: "Master Xiao Ling, you are back."

Xiao Ling greeted the three women warmly, his face looking a little tired but still with a gentle smile.

His eyes first fell on the Little Medical Immortal, and Xiao Ling replied, "The pill refining went smoothly." He paused, frowned slightly, and continued, "Just some minor accidents occurred along the way."

At this point, Xiao Ling unconsciously clenched his fists, "But fortunately, Yao Lao and I worked together to solve all those troubles."

"The noise coming from the Monster Mountain Range just now should be caused by you. It seems to be quite loud. Did you encounter someone attacking you?" Zi Yan's eyes rolled around, her face full of curiosity. She asked impatiently with her hands folded in front of her chest.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, his face calm as water, "It's just a Soul Palace guardian who came, and his soul has been sealed by me."

As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, Yao Chen also floated out slowly from the Bone Inflammation Ring. With a warm smile on his face, he greeted the three women and Xiao Ling.

Then, Yao Chen said to the four people with a slightly tired look: "The previous incident consumed a lot of energy, I have to go into seclusion to recover."

When Qinglin heard this, his face was full of concern. He hurried forward and asked with worry in his eyes: "Teacher, are you hurt?"

Yao Chen waved his hands, smiled kindly at Qing Lin, and comforted her: "Silly girl, after all, the teacher was also a Dou Zun before, and a mere Soul Palace guardian can't hurt me. After I refine the evil soul I just obtained, and then take the Seven Illusion Soul Purifying Pill that Xiao Ling just refined, my soul power can be greatly restored."

After chatting with a few people for a while, Yao Chen took the Bone Inflammation Ring from Xiao Ling and took away the jade bottle containing the Seven Illusions Soul-Clearing Pills.

He nodded slightly to everyone, then turned and walked towards the training room. Yao Chen's back gradually went away, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight. I believe that after this retreat, Yao Chen's strength should be able to be greatly improved.

……

Two months passed in a flash. Since Yao Chen's retreat, Xiao Ling's life has returned to normal.

A fixed period of time is spent every day to practice fighting spirit.

In his spare time, Xiao Ling would accompany Zi Yan, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin to stroll on the bustling streets of Jia Ma Holy City.

He chatted with the three girls in a relaxed manner, stopped to look at interesting things when he saw them, and bought delicious snacks to share with them when he came across them.

Xiao Ling also did not forget Xiao Yan, and from time to time he taught Xiao Yan the knowledge of alchemy, explaining everything in great detail, from the identification of medicinal materials to the control of the fire.

With Xiao Yan's outstanding talent in alchemy and his substantial wealth, under Xiao Ling's guidance, Xiao Yan has now become a second-grade alchemist.

In addition, Xiao Ling would also refine elixirs of grade five or above upon request from others. He would be fully focused and skilled when refining the elixirs. Every time he refined the elixirs, he would hone his skills, and the successfully refined elixirs would also make those who requested the elixirs very happy.

Not only did he gain a lot of benefits and obtain a lot of treasures, but it also allowed the Xiao family to make friends with many forces in the Holy City of Gama.

……

In the spacious and elegant reception room of the Mittel family, Xiao Ling and Hai Bodong were sitting opposite each other.

The maid beside them walked to the table gracefully and gently poured a cup of fragrant tea for each of them.

Xiao Ling picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked across at Hai Bodong, saying slowly, "Looking at Mr. Hai's aura, I think he must have made a breakthrough in his cultivation."

According to Xiao Ling's investigation, Hai Bodong's cultivation has not only recovered, but his realm has also made a breakthrough. He is now a six-star Dou Huang.

After hearing Xiao Ling's words, Hai Bodong's face instantly broke into a brilliant smile, "Haha, after taking the Soul-Restoring Purple Pill refined by Master Xiao Ling, my cultivation successfully recovered to the level of a five-star Dou Huang. Perhaps it was because of my profound accumulation over the years, after practicing for more than two months, my cultivation level broke through to the level of a six-star Dou Huang."

After listening to Hai Bodong's explanation, Xiao Ling nodded slightly, with a look of emotion and thought, and said in a calm tone: "If Senior Hai Bodong had not been beaten into a Dou Ling by Queen Medusa, and had not wasted decades in Mo City, and had maintained his cultivation, even if he did not break through to the Dou Zong level, he would at least be able to reach the peak of the Dou Huang level."

Hearing this, Hai Bodong also sighed, with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes, and said slowly: "That's all in the past, let it go."

The two chatted casually for a while, and Hai Bodong asked Xiao Ling with a puzzled look on his face: "Master Xiao Ling, how come you have time to come to my Mitel family today? Is there anything important? If there is anything I can help with, I, Hai Bodong, will definitely accompany you."

Xiao Ling smiled faintly and turned his gaze towards Hai Bodong. "Hai Lao guessed correctly. I came to the Mitel family today because I really need your help. Soon, I will leave the Jia Ma Empire and go back to Canaan Academy. I will not return to the Jia Ma Empire in the short term."

After a slight pause, Xiao Ling added, "Although the Xiao family has now established a firm foothold in Jiamadi Capital with my help, after I leave, the Xiao family will no longer have a top expert in charge, and it will inevitably be secretly calculated by some forces that covet the Xiao family's industries and resources. Moreover, if there are some unexpected crises, they may fall into trouble due to lack of sufficient strength to deal with them. Therefore, I hope that you, Hai Lao, can take care of them during my absence."
