Chapter 221 Dou Zong Remains, Treatment

Chapter 221 Dou Zong Remains, Treatment

Then, Xiao Ling walked to the coffin and gently opened the lid. What came into view was a well-preserved body, lying quietly in the coffin, obviously benefiting from the protection of this special coffin.

Carefully feeling the almost undetectable faint aura remaining on the Dou Zong's body, Xiao Ling felt delighted.

Before, he could only roughly sense that this body belonged to the Dou Zong level, but now after observing it closely, Xiao Ling could be sure that the owner of this body was definitely a top-notch existence among the Dou Zong in his life, and his strength was at least above the Seven-Star Dou Zong.

Xiao Ling touched his chin and thought to himself: "It seems that coming to the royal treasury this time is indeed the right decision."

Zi Yan also came over curiously, and looking at Xiao Ling's focused expression, she asked softly: "Xiao Ling, is this remains useful to you?"

Xiao Ling turned his head and gave Zi Yan a gentle smile, saying, "It is indeed very useful. This Dou Zong's remains, combined with other materials, will enable me to refine a new Heavenly Demon Puppet. Do you remember the one you saw last time?"

Zi Yan's eyes flashed with light, and she recalled: "Heavenly Demon Puppet? Oh, I remember, it's the iron lump you refined for Han Yue at Canaan College. That thing is really powerful." Then, Zi Yan continued to ask: "So, if you use this remains to refine a Heavenly Demon Puppet, which one will be more powerful, it or the one you refined for Han Yue before?"

Xiao Ling shook his head slightly and explained patiently: "If I use this remains to refine, its strength will naturally not be as good as the one I refined for Han Yue before. After all, the quality of this remains itself is inferior to the materials used last time. Moreover, the precious materials used in the last refining are no longer in my hands..."

Yao Ye listened to the conversation quietly. Although she was curious about the Heavenly Demon Puppet mentioned by Xiao Ling, she maintained her reserve and politeness and did not interrupt rashly. She knew that asking too many questions might seem rude, so she chose to maintain an elegant posture and wait quietly for Xiao Ling and Zi Yan to finish their conversation.

Xiao Ling ended his conversation with Zi Yan. He waved his hand lightly, and with a flash of light, the coffin and Dou Zong's remains disappeared, and he safely put them into the storage ring.

Then, Xiao Ling turned to Yao Ye with a gentle smile on his face, and said politely and casually: "Princess, could you please take us to the herb storehouse? You know, those herbs have an irresistible attraction to us alchemists."

Yao Ye nodded gracefully with the demeanor of a royal family member and responded, "Of course, Master Xiao Ling, please follow me." She turned lightly and led Xiao Ling and Zi Yan through the treasure house towards the medicine warehouse.

Under Yao Ye's guidance, they soon arrived at the medicinal materials area. Unlike other areas of the treasure house, the air here was filled with the fresh aroma of various medicinal materials, and various rare prescriptions were neatly placed on the shelves, from rare medicinal materials to precious elixir materials, each of which was extremely well preserved.

The moment Zi Yan stepped into the medicinal materials storage area, she was surrounded by the fragrant aroma of medicinal materials. She took a deep breath and felt as if her body and mind had received a pure baptism, and she seemed to be floating in the fragrance.

She gently released Xiao Ling's hand and walked lightly towards the shelf where the medicinal herbs were placed. Zi Yan began to use her innate ability to carefully select those rare medicinal herbs.

Although every medicinal herb here made her excited and she wanted to take them all away, she remembered that Xiao Ling had reminded her before that these were treasures of the Gama royal family.

Although Yaoye gave them the freedom to choose, Ziyan understood that one must know the limits and make money in a proper way. And sometimes, things without a price tag are the most expensive.

However, since she couldn't take them all away, she decided to select some of the best quality herbs, which would not only meet her own needs but also avoid embarrassment for both parties.

At the same time, Xiao Ling stood quietly by the side, with his arms folded, observing Zi Yan's process of selecting herbs. He had already quickly browsed through these herbs before. Although a few of them were indeed precious, they were not very attractive to him. Instead of choosing by himself, it would be better to let Zi Yan decide. After all, being able to obtain the remains of a Dou Zong this time has greatly exceeded his previous expectations.

Princess Yaoye felt a little helpless as she watched Zi Yan picking herbs. She actually hoped that Zi Yan could take more because she thought that this might deepen Xiao Ling's relationship with the royal family. Although it might be difficult to establish contact with Xiao Ling directly, it would be an effective way to get closer to him through his companions.

Zi Yan carefully selected the herbs in the medicinal area. Finally, she came to Xiao Ling with a dozen selected herbs in her arms, smiling, with satisfaction and pride in her eyes: "Xiao Ling, I've chosen!"

Xiao Ling stepped forward and glanced at the herbs in Zi Yan's arms. He could feel the pure energy contained in these herbs. It was obvious that Zi Yan's selection was very good. The herbs she chose were all the most precious and delicious types.

He smiled and nodded, his tone doting: "As long as you are satisfied, these herbs should be enough for you to eat for a while."

Zi Yan smiled even brighter when she heard Xiao Ling's affirmation. She knew that these herbs would be of great benefit to her cultivation, and could also provide Xiao Ling with some materials for refining medicine. Although Xiao Ling had said before that she could choose whatever she wanted, Zi Yan would still give Xiao Ling some herbs.

Then, Xiao Ling turned to Yao Ye and said with a smile, "Your Highness, we have finished our selection and can leave now."

Yao Ye nodded gracefully and responded, "Master Xiao Ling, there are still many rare treasures in the treasury. Why don't you consider picking something else?"

Xiao Ling shook her head lightly and said calmly, "No, Princess. We have already selected the treasures we need, so we won't stay here any longer."

Seeing Xiao Ling's firm attitude, Yao Ye stopped insisting and smiled gently, saying, "In that case, Master Xiao Ling, please follow me. I will take you out."

Xiao Ling and Zi Yan followed closely behind and walked out of the medicinal materials area together.

The three of them returned along the same route, passed through the corridor of the treasury, and passed by the gold, silver, jewelry and precious items, but Xiao Ling and Zi Yan didn't even take a second look at them.

When Xiao Ling and Zi Yan appeared outside the treasure house again, they unexpectedly found Jia Xingtian waiting outside the door. Seeing Xiao Ling, Jia Xingtian smiled and asked with a little curiosity: "Master Xiao Ling, how did you gain from this trip? Are you satisfied?"

Xiao Ling nodded slightly and replied, "I have gained a lot. This trip is worthwhile."

After hearing this, Jia Xingtian smiled even brighter: "Haha, as long as Master Xiao Ling is satisfied."

Xiao Ling's eyes swept across the sky, noticing that it was still early, and thinking of the precious reward he had just received, he suggested: "The place where the guardian beast is located is not far from here, let's go and heal it now."

Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he nodded seriously: "That's great, I'll have to trouble Master Xiao Ling." As soon as he finished speaking, the group, led by Jia Xingtian, set out on the journey to the location of the guardian beast.

……

Under the guidance of Jia Xingtian, Xiao Ling and Zi Yan quickly passed through the mountains and forests outside the imperial city. They passed through a quiet bamboo forest, and suddenly the view in front of them opened up to a wide lake, with water vapor lingering on the lake, like a fairyland on earth.

Xiao Ling was not unfamiliar with this place, as he had visited here before when he checked the physical condition of the Youhai Jiao Beast. Zi Yan was here for the first time, and she looked around curiously, her eyes flickering with desire for the unknown.

As they approached the lake, a mysterious monster with dark blue scales, a huge body and a spiral horn on its head came into view amidst the mist. It was lazily lying in the lake, enjoying the sun. It was the guardian beast of the Jiama royal family, the Youhai Jiao beast.

The Youhai Jiao Beast sensed the presence of the newcomer and slowly opened its eyes. Its gaze first fell on Jia Xingtian: "Old Jia, you came to visit me today. Could it be that you have already made the Hunyuan Shaping Bone Pill?"

Jia Xingtian stood by the lake, raised his head and smiled at the Youhai Jiao Beast. He did not answer directly, but said: "Old friend, I have invited Master Xiao Ling to come here today, naturally to completely cure your injuries."

After hearing what Jia Xingtian said, the Youhai Jiao Beast noticed Xiao Ling, Zi Yan and Yao Ye behind him. Yao Ye and Xiao Ling were of course familiar to it, as the former was Jia Xingtian's great-granddaughter, and the latter was the alchemist who had examined it before. Zi Yan behind them was a new face.

Immediately, the dark sea dragon's torch-like gaze was directed straight towards Zi Yan.

However, when the Youhai Jiao Beast's eyes met Zi Yan's, it suddenly felt a sense of oppression from the depths of its soul. A flash of purple light flashed in Zi Yan's eyes, a kind of pressure from the depths of its blood, which made the Youhai Jiao Beast feel an inexplicable fear.

Shock and horror appeared in the eyes of the dark sea dragon beast, and its huge body suddenly sank into the lake, leaving only a low and submissive roar of a dragon echoing on the lake.

Yao Ye and Jia Xingtian were stunned when they saw this scene. Their unruly royal guardian beast, which always looked disdainful even when facing other Dou Huang masters, actually took the initiative to retreat today!
The two of them turned their gazes to Zi Yan at the same time, with curiosity in their eyes. Although they knew that Zi Yan was a Dou Huang-level warrior with extraordinary strength, they had never thought that she could frighten the Youhai Jiao Beast with just a glance.

Jia Xingtian secretly guessed in his heart, "This girl named Zi Yan, it seems that her origin is not simple."

In the lake, the Youhai Jiao beast thought silently: "The aura emitted by that girl is too terrifying. Does she have ancient blood? Don't provoke her, don't provoke her..."

Xiao Ling gently rubbed Zi Yan's hair, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, and said: "Zi Yan, restrain your breath a little."

Zi Yan snorted lightly, with a hint of playfulness and dissatisfaction, and retorted: "That dark sea dragon beast looked at me with that kind of eyes, so of course I have to teach it a lesson."

Xiao Ling shook his head slightly and did not continue talking about this topic. Instead, he shifted his attention and looked at Jia Xingtian. He gave him a knowing look, indicating that it was time for the Youhai dragon beast to show up.

Jia Xingtian understood what he meant. He moved his body, condensed his fighting spirit into wings, flapped his wings and flew up to the sky above the lake. He looked down at the Youhai Jiao Beast in the lake and said a few words. The general meaning was to let it come out quickly.

Jia Xingtian's words echoed on the lake, and before the sound faded, ripples appeared in the center of the lake. Not long after, the giant of the Youhai Jiao beast slowly rose from the water, but this time, its eyes deliberately avoided Zi Yan, as if the previous confrontation made it a little afraid of this mysterious girl.

Seeing the Youhai Jiao Beast breaking out of the water, Jia Xingtian took the lead and said, "Be honest, the most urgent thing is to help you heal your old injuries first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Xingtian waved his hand and took out the jade bottle containing the Hunyuan Bone Shaping Pill from his storage ring. He threw it gently, and the jade bottle drew an elegant arc in the air and flew towards the Youhai Jiao Beast. Then it broke softly, releasing the Hunyuan Bone Shaping Pill. This pill was quietly suspended in the air, like the brightest star in the night sky, emitting a soft and mysterious light.

The aroma of the Hunyuan Bone Shaping Pill was rich and deep, and it spread rapidly at an almost visible speed, covering the entire lake in a sea of ​​fragrance. This fragrance was not only refreshing, but also made the air itself tinged with an indescribable freshness and purity.

The Nether Sea Flood Beast was stunned for a moment when it smelled the fragrance, and then it showed an expression of ecstasy, and its voice rang out like thunder: "Hunyuan Bone Shaping Pill? You really did bring pills with you, hahahaha."

The deafening laughter made the leaves on the shore tremble. As the laughter died down, the Youhai Jiao Beast turned to Xiao Ling and said with gratitude: "Thank you so much this time, sir!"

Xiao Ling was not arrogant, he just waved his hand calmly: "It's just a deal, no need to be polite."

Jia Xingtian joked, "Old man, don't get too excited. It won't be too late to celebrate after your injury is healed." Then he turned to Xiao Ling and said with a smile, "Master Xiao Ling, I'll leave it to you from now on..."

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, with no intention of revealing his true current cultivation level. A pair of flaming wings appeared out of thin air behind him. With a flap of the wings, his figure slowly rose into the air and finally stopped above the huge head of the Dark Sea Dragon.

Knowing that Xiao Ling would use special methods to heal itself, the Dark Sea Dragon Beast did not panic, but looked at Xiao Ling with anticipation.

Xiao Ling waved his hand, and the Hunyuan Bone Shaping Pill on the lake surface floated in front of him. He glanced at the Youhai Jiao Beast and whispered, "Are you ready? It might be painful later."

"I'm ready and can start at any time." The dark sea dragon responded firmly.

After getting the response, Xiao Ling nodded, his mind moved slightly, and a wisp of invisible and colorless flame wrapped the Hunyuan Bone Shaping Pill. With a light flick, the flame and the pill flew towards the head of the Youhai Dragon Beast.

As the elixir was wrapped in flames, after a moment, Xiao Ling quickly formed seals with his hands, and the flame of the Fallen Heart Flame suddenly expanded, fully stimulating the effect of the elixir.
