Chapter 243 Leaving and Looking for the Purple Flame Wind Wing Snake

Chapter 243 Leaving and Looking for the Purple Flame Wind Wing Snake
After listening to Yao Chen's explanation, everyone suddenly realized the true purpose of this ball of light.

However, Xiao Ling still had some concerns in his heart, so he asked Yao Chen for confirmation: "Master Yao, if I absorb something that involves the soul, will there be any side effects?"

Yao Chen smiled gently, stroked his beard, and comforted him: "Don't worry, I have carefully checked it. This ball of light is very pure and has no other tricks. It is just a projection of a memory. As for whether you want to explore the contents, it is entirely up to you to decide. There will be no coercion."

After listening to Yao Chen's explanation, Xiao Ling's worries were relieved a lot. Since Yao Chen said so, there shouldn't be any risks.

Before Xiao Ling could reply, Yao Chen added: "However, it is troublesome to preserve this thing. I advise you to absorb it as soon as possible."

After listening to Yao Chen's supplement, Xiao Ling decided to absorb it here without much hesitation: "Okay, then I will absorb this soul light ball here, you wait for me for a while."

As the words fell, Xiao Ling chose a relatively clean area in the bronze hall that had not been affected by the previous battle, sat down cross-legged calmly, and began to adjust his state, preparing to refine the soul light ball.

Witnessing this scene, Xiao Yixiang exchanged a knowing look with the others, then silently stepped aside, providing a quiet space for Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling took a deep breath, slowly suppressed all the distracting thoughts in his mind, and made his heart peaceful. He gently stretched out his palm and gently brought the ball of light emitting soul fluctuations close to his forehead.

With the guidance of the soul power, the blue light in the light ball gradually became more and more dazzling, and its light painted a dreamlike light and shadow in the hall. The light ball seemed to have life, and began to flow towards Xiao Ling's eyebrows, the light flowed, and finally all merged into Xiao Ling's mind.

Sensing a soul power entering his mind, Xiao Ling quickly closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and began to control his soul power. Under Xiao Ling's guidance, the energy in the light ball seemed to have found its home, slowly merging with his consciousness, like a trickle of water flowing into the sea.

As the soul energy in the ball of light continued to flow into Xiao Ling's mind, pictures emerged like a tide.

These images recorded every detail of "Reverend Turtle Spirit"'s alchemy skills during his lifetime, from pharmacological knowledge to alchemy techniques, to fire control skills, the use of soul perception, material identification, and the secrets of pill formulas... A huge amount of the alchemist's memories quickly unfolded in Xiao Ling's mind.

These memories were like vivid slides, coming one after another and filling Xiao Ling's mind.

However, Xiao Ling's soul power was already strong, and he had already cultivated to the middle stage of the spiritual realm. Facing the torrent of the "Turtle Spirit Venerable"'s memory, he did not feel overwhelmed. His mind was like a vast ocean, and even if the waves were turbulent, he could calmly absorb them without letting a drop of seawater overflow.

However, if a cultivator whose soul cultivation has not reached the peak of the mortal realm were to face such a vast amount of information, rashly absorbing it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. The huge impact of memory is enough to cause severe damage to an unprepared mind, and may even cause the collapse of the soul, leading to an irreversible disaster.

After Xiao Ling absorbed the soul light ball, he finally understood why "Turtle Spirit Venerable" set such a harsh restriction on the ruins map. It turned out that the soul power threshold required for this inheritance was very high. If the soul cultivation had not reached the peak of the mortal realm, there was no qualification to inherit this complete memory.

Due to the huge amount of information, Xiao Ling clearly realized that it would take a long time to fully absorb and digest this knowledge. He just quickly browsed through the general part and had a general understanding of this inheritance, and then properly stored these memories deep in his consciousness.

Xiao Ling planned to wait until the right time to carefully explore and absorb every detail of these memories.

After processing this memory, Xiao Ling slowly opened his eyes. His expression was calm, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Seeing Xiao Ling wake up, Xiao Yixian quickly stepped forward and asked with some concern: "Xiao Ling, how do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Xiao Ling smiled lightly and replied in a relaxed tone: "I'm fine, don't worry."

Yao Chen approached lightly, with a hint of curiosity on his face, and asked Xiao Ling: "Xiao Ling, you have absorbed the soul light ball, can you tell us what is recorded in it?"

Xiao Ling's mouth curled up slightly, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he replied: "Just as you said before, Yao Lao, this soul light ball is indeed a memory. It covers all kinds of knowledge and experience of 'Turtle Spirit Venerable' in alchemy throughout his life. These memories of alchemy will undoubtedly provide great help for me to improve my alchemy skills in the future. Moreover, by absorbing this memory, my soul power has also increased to a certain extent. Although the increase is not huge, it is comparable to my two months of soul power training."

After hearing Xiao Ling's answer, Xiao Yixian and the others were delighted that Xiao Ling was able to get this opportunity.

Yao Chen stroked his beard lightly, smiling, and was obviously not surprised by the result. He said calmly, "I had guessed that this would happen. Absorbing these experiences in alchemy will be of great benefit to your future improvement of skills."

"However, you are really lucky, not only did you get a precious turtle spirit earth fire, but you also got the memory inheritance of an eighth-grade alchemist." Yao Chen's tone was a little envious, and he continued, "I don't need to say much about the value of the strange fire, and it is rare to make a soul memory light ball. As far as I know, it requires extremely strong soul power to make it. After all, only a few people know the production method. Usually, only those strong people who sense that they don't have much time will choose to make such a memory light ball before they die."

"Thinking back to when I was wandering around, if I had your good luck, maybe I wouldn't have ended up in this situation. I would have become a world-famous 'Medicine Saint'." Yao Chen sighed half-jokingly, with a hint of self-mockery in his tone.

Xiao Ling heard the joke in Yao Chen's words, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. He smiled meaningfully and replied: "Luck is something that no one can predict. However, Yao Lao, I believe in you. After you are resurrected, it will not be difficult for you to become the 'Medicine Saint'."

Yao Chen waved his hands and said indifferently: "Don't make fun of me, kid. The title of 'Medicine Saint' is not something that can be obtained casually." He just thought that Xiao Ling was teasing him and did not take it seriously.

But Yao Chen's curiosity did not diminish. He changed the subject and asked, "However, if you want to absorb all of that huge memory, it must take a long time. You just practiced for only ten minutes. Could it be that you have absorbed it all so quickly? Did something unexpected happen?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ling smiled and shook his head: "Master Yao, you worry too much. These memories are indeed huge, but I just browsed them and stored them, and did not absorb them all at once. When I have free time, I will dig deeper into the essence of these memories. After all, this place is not a good place to absorb these memories."

After hearing this, Yao Chen nodded to show his understanding: "I see, I knew you wouldn't be so aggressive. It's better to take it slow, and only by doing it slowly and steadily can you master all this knowledge."

Zi Yan walked lightly to Xiao Ling's side, her eyes flashing with curiosity and expectation, and asked softly: "Xiao Ling, from what you just said, should we leave here now?"

Xiao Ling turned around and faced Zi Yan, nodded seriously, and replied: "That's right, Zi Yan. We have explored all the resources that can be explored here. It's just a waste of time to stay here. It's time to go back. After that, I have to retreat to the Xiao family for a while and absorb the turtle spirit earth fire."

"So what are our plans next? Are we going back to the Gama Empire directly?" Zi Yan asked curiously. She hadn't seen Medusa for so long that she missed her a little.

Xiao Ling smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and flicked Zi Yan's forehead with a hint of teasing: "You girl, your memory is so bad, didn't we agree on this a long time ago? Have you forgotten the seventh-level purple flame wind-winged snake in the World of Warcraft Mountains? We have to catch it first." Zi Yan rubbed her forehead which was red from being flicked, stuck out her tongue, and showed a playful smile: "Oh, I forgot for a moment." Her attitude was relaxed, and she was obviously not unhappy about being corrected. Instead, she seemed a little naughty and cute.

Xiao Ling continued, "After we get out, our first task is to find and catch the Purple Flame Wind Wing Snake. Qinglin, when the time comes, you will use the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils to subdue it. Subduing a seventh-level magical beast should be of great help to your cultivation."

Qing Lin nodded slightly, with a determined light in his eyes: "Master, don't worry, after practicing the two soul skills you gave me before, with my current soul power, I can already control a seventh-level snake monster."

Xiao Ling nodded. He was not too worried about whether Qing Lin could control the seventh-level monster. After all, Qing Lin's Green Snake Three Flower Pupils were not to be underestimated. In the original book, even without any cultivation, he could easily control the two-headed fire spirit snake.

Now, after practicing the "Taiyi Soul Art" and "Dayan Art", although Qinglin's soul power has not broken through the spiritual realm, it has reached the peak of the mortal realm, and his cultivation has reached the Douwang level. Therefore, controlling a seventh-level snake monster should be easy for Qinglin.

Zi Yan also walked to Qing Lin's side and affectionately hugged one of Qing Lin's arms, who was now half a head taller than her. She patted her chest with her other hand and said confidently: "Don't worry, Qing Lin, when we get out, the first thing we will do is to catch that seventh-level monster. When the time comes, I will help you subdue the little snake, and you just need to watch from the side."

Facing Zi Yan's enthusiastic words, Qing Lin smiled slightly and replied gently: "Then thank you, Sister Zi Yan."

As time went by, although Qinglin's height had quietly surpassed Ziyan's, Qinglin's respect for her had never changed, and he still regarded her as his sister. Thinking back to when he first followed Xiao Ling, Qinglin seemed immature and fragile at that time.

Zi Yan was always caring. Not only did she give spiritual support, she also personally helped Qing Lin capture and subdue the snake monster. Every bit of those days, every bit of Zi Yan's care, was deeply engraved in Qing Lin's memory.

Xiao Ling looked at the heartwarming scene in front of him, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart. As time passed, everyone had changed a lot. The most important thing was that the feelings between them became closer and closer with the passage of time.

"Okay, everyone." Xiao Ling's voice broke the brief warm moment, "We have wasted quite a bit of time here, it's time to head to the Magic Beast Mountain Range. The Purple Flame Wind Winged Snake won't come to us on its own, we need to be prepared, and we have to go out and look for it.

After hearing what Xiao Ling said, everyone nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Yao Tianhuo and Yao Chen knew that they did not need to participate for the time being, so they turned into two streams of light and returned to their respective host rings.

Xiao Ling first took away the body of "Turtle Spirit Venerable" and the jade bed, and then led the team, stepped out of the solemn gate of the bronze hall, and embarked on the road leading to the crack in the space barrier.

Their steps were relaxed and rhythmic. Along the way, everyone talked and laughed, sharing their own interesting stories and experiences. The atmosphere was relaxed and happy. Time seemed to pass quietly in this joyful atmosphere, and soon they arrived at their destination.

The four of them stopped in front of the silver space door that was still standing. Little Medical Fairy stared at the mysterious door in front of her, with curiosity flashing in her eyes. She couldn't help but ask, "Will this space door always be open?"

Xiao Ling shook his head slightly, a trace of thought flashed across his eyes, and replied: "I don't know much about this. The setting and operation principle of this door are all the means of the "Turtle Spirit Venerable". We are not strong enough now, and it is difficult to figure out this situation. However, whether it will always be open or not has nothing to do with the purpose of our trip. Let's leave here quickly, there are still many things to deal with next."

As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, he took a step without hesitation and stepped into the space door that was shining with silver light. His figure was surrounded by the light in the door, gradually becoming blurred, until he completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

After seeing Xiao Ling's figure disappear into the space gate, Zi Yan, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin no longer hesitated. They looked at each other, and then, they followed Xiao Ling's footsteps and stepped into the mysterious silver door one after another.

As the three entered, the silver space gate gradually flashed a brighter light, as if bidding farewell to their departure. The light in the portal flowed, engulfing their figures one by one, until the last trace of light disappeared.

Finally, when Qing Lin's figure appeared in the light of the space gate, she took a firm step and stepped onto the land where everyone was. As the four people left, the light of the space gate began to slowly fade, as if it had completed its mission.

Everyone turned around and looked towards the mysterious door again. The silver light began to spin, forming a vortex, which slowly shrank until it turned into a tiny point of light, and then completely dissipated into the air without leaving any trace.

Zi Yan and Xiao Ling looked at each other, and a trace of vigilance flashed in their eyes. The two could sense that the world behind the space door was experiencing violent turmoil at the moment, as if some powerful force was stirring it.

Xiao Ling stared at the place where the space door disappeared, with a hint of contemplation in his tone: "It seems that the space has activated the self-destruction mechanism. I'm afraid the buildings inside no longer exist." There was a hint of regret in his words.

Zi Yan nodded slightly. Her spatial perception ability was far superior to that of ordinary people. She could clearly feel the disorder of the spatial fluctuations. "That's true," she said softly, with a trace of relief in her eyes. "Perhaps it was the moment we left that triggered some unknown mechanism, causing the collapse of the space. It seems that the space also hides dangers that we don't know about."

The tranquility of the lake was broken by a subtle wave, and the Abyss Crocodile King who was originally sleeping underwater felt this unusual vibration.

Its huge body slowly emerged from the water, stirring up ripples, and then it climbed steadily onto the shore. The Abyss Water Crocodile King's gaze penetrated the mist on the water surface and fell on Xiao Ling and the others. Its sight turned to the place where the space gate once existed, and a complex light flashed in its eyes.

When several people saw the Abyss Water Crocodile King appear, they all gestured to it in a friendly manner with kind smiles on their faces.

The Abyss Water Crocodile King stared at Xiao Ling, its voice was low and powerful, "Human, it seems that you have obtained the inheritance of that adult. Now, are you planning to leave this place?"

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, his voice clear and firm: "It is indeed as you said, we are preparing to leave here now."

After hearing Xiao Ling's words, the Abyss Water Crocodile King just nodded its huge head lightly without saying much, as if silently approving of their decision.

At this time, Little Medical Fairy spoke softly and asked the Abyss Water Crocodile King a question: "Crocodile King, you have lived in the Magic Beast Mountain Range for a long time. Have you ever seen any traces of the Purple Flame Wind Winged Snake?"

Her question attracted the attention of others, and Xiao Ling, Zi Yan and Qing Lin also turned their eyes to the Abyss Water Crocodile King with curiosity. They realized that this old resident who had lived in the Magic Beast Mountain Range for an unknown period of time might really have information about the Purple Flame Wind Wing Snake.

Little Medical Fairy's question caused a hint of thought to flash across the eyes of the Abyss Water Crocodile King. Its huge body moved slightly, as if it was recalling something.
