Chapter 355 Returning to the Ye Family, Daily Life

Xiao Yixian's soul power has already reached the spiritual realm, enough to easily explore the entire Ye family. As soon as she came out of seclusion, she immediately began to look for Xiao Ling.

After searching for a while, she couldn't find any trace of him. Qinglin was concentrating on his cultivation, so she didn't want to disturb him, so she came to ask Yaochen and Yaotianhuo, two seniors who seemed more leisurely.

After hearing Little Medical Immortal's question, Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo exchanged glances.

Yao Chen immediately smiled and answered, "We are not very clear about the specific situation, but Qinglin did mention it to us before. Xiao Ling went out, but Qinglin also said she didn't know what he was doing and why he suddenly went out."

Yao Tianhuo also nodded, and then said: "Yes, Xiao Ling has been out for almost a week. Qinglin said that Xiao Ling should be back within a week, maybe he will be back today."

After hearing what Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo said, Xiao Yixian's brows unconsciously frowned, and the anxiety in her heart did not completely dissipate.

According to Qinglin, Xiao Ling should be back within a week, but now the time has come and he still hasn't shown up, which made her worried. Could it be that he encountered some trouble on the way?
Yao Chen noticed the worry on Xiao Yixian's face, and comforted her gently: "Don't worry too much, Xiao Ling is no pushover. He has a Heavenly Demon Puppet that can rival a six-star Dou Zun, and a Sky-Splitting Seat that can temporarily fight against a Dou Zun. That kid has many tricks up his sleeve, even those old guys in Zhongzhou are no match for him, and there shouldn't be any problems he can't solve."

After hearing what Yao Chen said, Xiao Yixian's expression eased a little. She nodded gently, but there was still some worry in her eyes: "Okay, I know the situation, but if Xiao Ling doesn't come back within three days, I plan to go out to find him. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, I won't be able to find him in time."

Yao Tianhuo laughed when he heard this and said jokingly, "Of course, I will go all out to find him when the time comes. That kid didn't even take me with him. Does he think that my strength as a five-star Dou Zun is not good enough?"

There was a hint of joking in his words, but the concern in his eyes was genuine.

The Little Medical Fairy was amused by Yao Tianhuo's humorous words and the tension in her heart was slightly relieved.

She knew that whether it was Yao Chen or Yao Tianhuo, they would help Xiao Ling without hesitation when he needed it.

She herself had already made preparations. Once Xiao Ling really encountered any difficulties, she would go looking for him without hesitation. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, she was willing to pay any price as long as she could be with Xiao Ling.

However, Xiao Yixian never expected that Xiao Ling, whom she had always been thinking about, was previously enjoying a sweet relationship with his childhood sweetheart, and now, he had just started his journey back to the Ye family.

"Okay, Xian'er, don't think about that kid for now. Haven't you already refined the Netherworld Poison Fire? Can you control the poison in the fire now? If you can, then you can start refining the pills."

Yao Chen cleverly changed the subject, trying to divert Little Medical Fairy's attention away from Xiao Ling.

Hearing this, a look of joy indeed appeared on Little Medical Fairy's face.

Little Medical Fairy nodded and said excitedly, "Old Yao is right. Because of the condensed poison pill, I can indeed barely control the toxins in the Netherworld Poison Fire. Although it is still a bit difficult, it will be no problem to control it for a period of time."

"That's all, as long as you can refine the elixir. As for the problem of the poison, I will help you find the method to remove the poison seal later, and then it will naturally not be a problem." Yao Chen stroked his gray beard and said with a smile...

"Come, Xian'er girl, I will first teach you a third-grade pill recipe, the Purple Flame Pill. This is a pill recipe that I created myself. With this pill, I won the championship in the clan school competition when I was young..."

……

After a day and night of flying, Xiao Ling finally returned to Yecheng. As soon as he appeared at the city gate, he immediately attracted the attention of the people around him.

However, he did not stay for long, but walked quickly towards the Ye family's mansion.

The guards of the Ye family were naturally very familiar with Xiao Ling, this influential figure, so as soon as they saw Xiao Ling, they immediately let him pass respectfully without any obstruction.

After Xiao Ling successfully entered the Ye family, he returned to the quiet courtyard that Ye Chong had prepared for him.

The courtyard still looks the same as when he left, and the antique buildings reveal a sense of tranquility and elegance. The bluestone-paved path winds forward, with carefully trimmed flowers and trees on both sides, and a few colorful spots occasionally appear among the green leaves, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet environment.

Xiao Ling walked into the courtyard along the bluestone path, passed through the front yard, and came to the backyard. The environment here was more spacious, and a neatly trimmed lawn came into view. In the center of the lawn was an ancient alchemy cauldron, and next to the cauldron, a figure in white was sitting cross-legged. It was the Little Medical Fairy.

Little Medical Fairy was concentrating on refining the elixir. Her hands kept changing complex hand seals in front of her chest. Rays of soul power flowed out from her fingertips, accurately controlling every change in the cauldron.

Although her expression was very focused, the beads of sweat on her forehead and the occasional panic in her eyes revealed that the process of refining the pill was not as smooth as it seemed.

Xiao Ling stood quietly not far away, without making any noise to disturb him. He knew that refining medicine required extremely high concentration, and any external interference could lead to failure.

Looking at Xiao Yixiang's focused profile with gentle eyes, Xiao Ling couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, but at the same time he was happy for her.

Xiao Ling muttered silently in his heart: "It seems that Xian'er can really become an alchemist in the future. Although her talent may not be top-notch, it is worth celebrating that she can realize her childhood dream."

The sunlight shines through the treetops and onto Little Medical Fairy, giving her white clothes a faint golden edge.

The surrounding air is filled with the aroma of medicinal herbs and a hint of grass, creating a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Suddenly, the situation changed. The essences of the medicinal materials that were about to merge suddenly began to violently repel each other, as if an invisible force was stirring in the medicine cauldron, and violent energy fluctuations spread. This was clearly a precursor to the failure of the medicine refining, and the crisis of the furnace exploding was imminent.

Sitting in front of the medicine cauldron, Xiao Yixian was nervous about the sudden change. But she did not stop her movements, but instead accelerated the speed of changing her hand seals. The soul power in her brow surged out like a tide, trying to calm the conflict between the essences of the medicinal materials.

However, her somewhat panicked and forced intervention did not achieve the desired effect. Instead, it seemed to add fuel to the fire, making the conflict between the essences of the medicinal materials more intense and the violent energy fluctuations more severe.

As the situation continued to deteriorate, Xiao Yixian's movements became flustered. Her usual calmness and indifference were long gone, replaced by a look of helplessness.

Seeing the violent aura of the medicinal essence becoming stronger and stronger, as if it would explode the medicine cauldron in the next moment. At this critical moment, a soul force suddenly emerged and quietly poured into the medicine cauldron from behind the Little Medical Immortal.

Before Xiao Yixian had time to figure out what was going on, she felt that the soul power was like a gentle hand, calming the violent essence of the medicinal materials in the medicine cauldron. Under its guidance, the originally irritable essence of the medicinal materials gradually calmed down and began to show signs of fusion.

When she came back to her senses from the shock, Xiao Yixian quickly turned her head to look behind her. At this moment, a familiar figure that had been haunting her came into her sight.

The figure was tall and slender, exuding a friendly aura. It was none other than Xiao Ling, who had returned to the Ye family not long ago.

Seeing Xiao Yixian's gaze, Xiao Ling nodded slightly and gave her a warm smile. Xiao Yixian also smiled knowingly, and then she couldn't help but fly into Xiao Ling's arms.

Xiao Ling smiled gently, and hugged the little medical fairy's slender waist helplessly but lovingly, holding her graceful body tightly in his arms.

Xiao Yixian leaned against Xiao Ling's chest, feeling his body temperature and heartbeat, and the tension and uneasiness in her heart instantly disappeared. The surrounding environment seemed to be affected by this scene, and the sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, shining on the two of them, coating their figures with a layer of golden halo.

The flowers and plants in the courtyard swayed in the wind, emitting a faint fragrance, as if they were rejoicing at the reunion of the two.

"Okay, okay, we are already so old, and we haven't seen each other for just a few days, but you are so clingy, just like a little child." Xiao Ling teased while rubbing the back of Little Medical Fairy's head affectionately, his smile full of pampering.

"Hmph, you are more than a year younger than me, you are the little brat." The little medical fairy was not willing to be outdone, and gently nudged Xiao Ling's shoulder with her head, with a hint of playfulness in her tone.

The tense atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed after the two of them made such a fuss. Xiao Ling pecked Xiao Yixian lightly on her lips, and then the two reluctantly separated.

Xiao Ling took Xiao Yixian's delicate hand, and the two walked to the magnificent and simple medicine cauldron. With a slight wave of his hand, a pill flew lightly into his palm.

This pill is a deep purple, gorgeous and mysterious. It exudes fiery energy fluctuations, like a dancing flame, and people can recognize at a glance that this is a pill specially prepared for fire attribute practitioners.

In the sunlight, the luster on the surface of the pill flows, as if there is a powerful energy hidden in it.

"Xian'er, what kind of elixir are you refining this time? This is the first time I've seen it." Xiao Ling looked at the purple elixir in his hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with a hint of curiosity.

As Xiao Ling spoke, he gently handed the pill to the Little Medical Fairy.

"This elixir is called Purple Flame Pill. It was improved upon by Yao Lao when he was young based on the Green Flame Pill. It is a third-grade elixir." Little Medical Fairy took the elixir and explained patiently, "After taking it, it can increase the fire energy in the cultivator's body several times in a short period of time, which helps to comprehend a higher level of cultivation in advance and is of great benefit to breaking through the realm. However, it will naturally have no effect on you."

After hearing Xiao Yixian's explanation, Xiao Ling suddenly realized that the method of refining this kind of elixir was indeed recorded in Yao Chen's alchemist's notes. However, at that time, his alchemy skills had reached the sixth level, so he did not pay too much attention to this third-level elixir.

"So that's how it is. It seems you've learned a lot from Yao Lao." Xiao Ling smiled and nodded, praising Xiao Yixian's alchemy skills. "Although this Purple Flame Pill is not very useful to me, it is definitely a treasure for other practitioners. Xian'er, you are now a true alchemist. You're amazing."

"Hehe, of course, don't underestimate me. With my previous research on alchemy and my powerful soul power, refining pills below the third grade is a piece of cake for me. I have successfully refined third-grade pills, but I have not been able to successfully refine the more difficult third-grade pills like the Purple Flame Pill. Tell me, is it because my compatibility with alchemy is too poor and I don't have a very high talent as an alchemist?"

When Xiao Yixian heard Xiao Ling's praise, a hint of pride flashed in her eyes, but then a hint of helplessness appeared.

After all, he has now reached the spiritual realm soul and possesses the strange fire that alchemists dream of, and he is also personally guided by an eighth-grade alchemist. However, the results he has demonstrated now are very mediocre and have not met the expectations that the Little Medical Fairy had for himself.

Xiao Ling could sense the helplessness in Little Medical Immortal's heart, and he gently comforted her: "Xian'er, alchemy is a process that requires constant practice and accumulation. It's amazing that you can refine a third-grade elixir in such a short time."

"As long as you continue to practice, with your spiritual power, your alchemy skills will surely improve rapidly. I believe that in the future, your alchemy skills will definitely not be worse than that of Tang Zhen, the Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley. After your strength and spiritual power gradually improve, it is not impossible for you to refine a seventh-grade pill on your own."

After hearing what Xiao Ling said, the spark of confidence was rekindled in Xiao Yixian's eyes.

"I understand. I will work harder. However, you have to guide me in refining medicine more often in the future."

The Little Medical Fairy took a deep breath, nodded, and spoke to Xiao Ling in an unquestionable tone.

"Of course, I will naturally teach my Xian'er well." Xiao Ling smiled slightly, his eyes full of pampering.

"Haha, you're finally back. I didn't see you when Xian'er came out of seclusion before, so I was very worried and almost ran out to look for you."

Following the sound of footsteps, an old voice with a smile came into the ears of Xiao Ling and the others.

The two turned around and saw Yao Tianhuo walking towards them with a smile on his face, wearing his iconic red robe.

When Xiao Ling heard Yao Tianhuo's words, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Yixiang in surprise.

The little medical fairy felt Xiao Ling's gaze, but just rolled her eyes lightly, and then looked away, as if to say "I'm not worried about you."

"I'm glad you're back. We really don't know why you suddenly went out this time. Did you gain anything?"

Yao Chen's soul also floated out of the Bone Inflammation Ring and asked with a gentle smile.

As soon as these words came out, the three people present all cast their curious eyes towards Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling's sudden and mysterious trip out, the reason behind it and the gains naturally aroused their strong interest.

However, Xiao Ling did not intend to reveal anything about Xun'er. Her identity was too sensitive, and even if he knew about her identity, it would not necessarily be a good thing.

So Xiao Ling simply replied casually: "Yes, I did encounter some opportunities during my trip, and the harvest was pretty good."

After hearing Xiao Ling's brief response, Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo did not continue to ask. They knew Xiao Ling. If there were things he didn't want to say, he must have his reasons. They believed in Xiao Ling's judgment and respected his decision.

Seeing that they didn't continue to ask questions, Xiao Ling was relieved. It was indeed easy to get along with such a sensible partner.

Then, Xiao Ling turned to Yao Chen and said with a smile: "Also, I have good news. I have found the materials to help you, Yao Lao, refine a new body. I guarantee that you will be satisfied."

Yao Chen raised his eyebrows, and said in a joking tone: "Could it be that you met a Dou Zun strongman on the road this time, and then had a conflict with him, and solved him, and planned to use his body to refine a new body for me? For you to be satisfied, it must be at least the body of a high-level Dou Zun. You didn't really solve a high-level Dou Zun, did you?"

In Yao Chen's opinion, it seemed that this was the only reasonable possibility that Xiao Ling could find the so-called suitable materials so quickly.

"Master Yao, you flatter me too much. I don't have the ability to deal with high-level Dou Zun. When we arrive at Xingyun Pavilion, I will naturally help you refine the body myself. You will know what the material is when the time comes. I keep my word. I will definitely satisfy you with the materials for refining the body." Xiao Ling smiled slightly, deliberately keeping the secret, and said.

Xiao Ling had no intention of revealing the news of the Dou Sheng's body right now. In his opinion, if Yao Tianhuo knew that he actually had two Dou Sheng's bodies in his hands, he might regret it and beat his chest and stamp his feet, and might even really want to die again. Therefore, he thought it would be better to keep the matter of the Dou Sheng's body a secret.

"Haha, since you don't plan to tell me in advance, I won't ask any more questions." Yao Chen smiled slightly, revealing a hint of ease in his tone, "As long as this material is better than that old guy Yao Tianhuo, I will be satisfied."

Yao Chen was naturally full of expectations for the materials mentioned by Xiao Ling that would make him absolutely satisfied.

After all, these materials will be directly related to his level of strength after resurrection, so he naturally attaches great importance to it. Xiao Ling said it so confidently, maybe it will be a big surprise.
