Chapter 375: Finally Obtained the Heavenly Fire 3 Mysterious Changes

The Sky Demon Puppet landed steadily on the ground. At this moment, its aura had already risen to the second star of Dou Zun. Xiao Ling waved his hand casually and put it into the storage ring.

Turning his eyes to the Mountain-Ronging Cauldron, he saw the crimson elixir inside spinning, jumping, and moving. It was round and full, with mysterious and gorgeous patterns engraved on its surface, and exuding an enticing medicinal fragrance.

Spiritual energy swirled around the elixir, vaguely forming the image of a ferocious giant turtle.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling waved his hand gently, and a suction force instantly surged from his palm. The Fire Bodhi Pill flew out along the fire mouth and fell directly into Xiao Ling's palm.

As the pill was in hand, the rich fragrance of the pill gradually dissipated in the air, as if it had never appeared.

This scene made the onlookers around feel a little regretful. They knew that they might never have the chance to take such an eighth-grade elixir in their lifetime, but being able to smell the faint fragrance of the elixir was also a kind of enjoyment.

At this moment, Tang Zhen led Tang Huoer and a group of alchemists and flew over from a distance, heading straight for the center of the square where Xiao Ling was.

When Xiao Ling saw them approaching, he casually took out a mutton-fat jade bottle from his storage ring and carefully put the Fire Bodhi Pill into the bottle.

Then, he threw it gently, and the jade bottle drew an arc in the air and landed steadily on the flying Tang Zhen. Xiao Ling stretched himself leisurely and relaxed his body.

Seeing Xiao Ling throw away the eighth-grade elixir so casually, the people around him couldn't help but feel nervous. If they had the eighth-grade elixir in their hands, they would definitely keep it carefully for fear of any mishap. They wouldn't be as careless as Xiao Ling.

But on second thought, Xiao Ling is a true eighth-grade alchemist. To him, eighth-grade elixirs may be like commonplace. His casualness is indeed speechless.

"Valley Master Tang, come and take a look at the quality of this pill." Xiao Ling watched Tang Zhen take the pill steadily, smiled and took the little mink on his shoulder back into his arms, and said softly.

Although Tang Zhen's main occupation was not refining medicine, with the power of the Nine Dragon Thunder Fire, he also had the strength of a sixth-grade alchemist, and his eyesight in appreciating elixirs was naturally not bad. He first took a deep breath of the fragrance of the elixir, and then carefully observed the luster of the elixir, and then couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahaha, Master Xiao Ling, you really deserve to be the youngest master of alchemy! You can upgrade a seventh-grade elixir to the eighth-grade realm. This kind of method is something I, Tang Zhen, have never seen in my life! Your alchemy skills are indeed unique!"

The alchemists behind Tang Zhen nodded their heads one by one, and every word they said was filled with admiration for Xiao Ling, and the respect almost overflowed from their eyes.

"Yes, yes, this is a stroke of genius."

"Master Xiao Ling, your skills are simply amazing, and your medicine refining level is really convincing."

"I think Master Xiao Ling has great potential. He is definitely on his way to becoming a ninth-grade alchemy master. His future achievements are limitless."

Xiao Ling just smiled lightly at these compliments, seeming quite indifferent. Over the years, he had heard so many similar compliments that his ears were almost calloused.

Then, Xiao Ling turned his gaze to Tang Zhen and said with a smile: "Valley Master Tang Zhen, do you still keep your promise? Can you let me see the unique skills of Burning Flame Valley, the practice method of the Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire?"

As Xiao Ling spoke, he waved his hand casually, and the Mountain Melting Cauldron was obediently stored in the storage ring given by Xun'er. Obviously, he took Tang Zhen's words before refining the medicine seriously.

Tang Zhen saw this scene, and his face did not show any unhappy expression. This was one of his plans, to establish friendship with Xiao Ling. Now that Xiao Ling accepted the Shan Rong Ding, he felt relieved instead.

After all, for an alchemist, the closest companions are the medicine cauldron and the fire of alchemy. If Xiao Ling often uses the Mountain Melting Cauldron when refining pills, he will naturally think of the kindness of Burning Flame Valley from time to time.

Then, Tang Zhen bowed slightly to Xiao Ling and said with a smile: "Master Xiao Ling, your elixir was so successful, we at Fenyan Valley must fulfill our promise. Please come with me..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Zhen turned around and had a brief exchange with the alchemists around him, and then signaled several disciples of Fenyan Valley to arrange the rest of the matters.

Afterwards, Tang Zhen politely extended his hand and made a "please" gesture, then walked in front to lead Xiao Ling.

When Xiao Ling saw this, he stood up and followed. Tang Huoer, who was standing next to him, seemed to have been waiting for a while. When she saw Xiao Ling move, she also walked lightly to his side.

As she approached, a faint fragrance wafted away, and Xiao Ling couldn't help but turn his head to take a look.

Tang Huoer was wearing a fiery red long skirt, the cut of which perfectly outlined her graceful figure and swayed gently with her steps, like a dancing flame.

Her soft red hair was as smooth as silk and fell to her waist, each strand shining in the sun. Her fair face was as delicate as if it was carefully carved, and her eyebrows and eyes revealed a beauty that was hard to ignore.

Her bright eyes and straight nose add a touch of heroic spirit to her, making her look feminine yet strong.

At this moment, Tang Huoer had an obvious look of relief on his face, probably because his life was guaranteed and he could finally put down the stone in his heart.

"Master Xiao Ling, I, Huo'er, am really grateful to you for your help this time. I may have been a little rude if I didn't recognize you when we were in Tianhuang City. I would like to apologize to you here." Tang Huo'er walked to Xiao Ling and spoke proactively.

Her eyes fell on Xiao Ling's face which was so close to her. Somehow, Tang Huoer's cheeks flushed slightly and her heart was a little confused.

"After not seeing him for a year, this guy seems to be even more handsome." She thought to herself, her heart beating faster unconsciously.

"Haha, Miss Huo'er, we just had a small exchange at that time. It's no big deal at all. You don't need to take it too seriously." Xiao Ling responded with a chuckle, his tone revealing a casualness. Indeed, he didn't care much about that matter.

After hearing what Xiao Ling said, Tang Huo'er obviously relaxed. She was secretly worried that her previous reckless behavior would leave a bad impression on Xiao Ling. After all, that kind of start was not what she expected.

Xiao Ling's tolerance made Tang Huoer feel much brighter. She smiled, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

"Master Xiao Ling, I heard that you were already a Dou Zong-level expert a year ago. After this year, what level of cultivation have you reached?"

Tang Huoer asked curiously. She had recently accepted the inheritance of the Burning Flame Valley. Although she had not yet completely succeeded in subduing the Nine Dragons Thunder Flame, her cultivation had indeed improved significantly and she had already broken through to Dou Zong. Naturally, she also wanted to know the gap between herself and Xiao Ling.

"For more than a year, I have focused my main energy on alchemy, so my progress in cultivation is not that great. I have only advanced one level, which is naturally incomparable to your improvement."

Xiao Ling replied with a smile, responding casually. This is true, from the Nine-Star Dou Zong to the Dou Zun, for him, it is indeed just an improvement in realm.

"Master Xiao Ling, you have done a great job. It would take a few years for most people to advance from Dou Zong to one star. Moreover, you have to take care of alchemy at the same time. You are busy with both, so your energy is naturally limited."

Tang Huoer misunderstood Xiao Ling's meaning, thinking that he had only improved a small stage of Dou Zong, so she said this.

Generally speaking, if a Dou Zong-level cultivator can improve one star in a year, it is already a pretty good speed. But for a peerless demon like Xiao Ling, this seems a bit inconsistent with his level.

Tang Huo'er guessed that he might be devoted to alchemy. After all, over the past year or so, there was an endless stream of people coming to Xingyun Pavilion to ask for eighth-grade elixirs. Xiao Ling must have spent a lot of effort on alchemy.

As for today, when an eighth-grade elixir was refined in just over a day, Tang Huoer knew that Xiao Ling must have used some unique secret technique to improve the grade of the elixir. Obviously, this method cannot be used every time and cannot be regarded as a regular method of refining elixir.

Regarding this topic, Xiao Ling just smiled faintly and did not continue speaking.

Tang Zhen, who was walking in front, glanced back inadvertently and saw Xiao Ling and Tang Huoer talking and laughing. His expression couldn't help but become a little subtle.

As a father, he knew his daughter's personality very well. She rarely acted so relaxed and friendly in front of men other than him.

It seems that things are very clear. Although my daughter did not fall in love at first sight and was madly in love with him, she did have some special feelings for Master Xiao Ling.

In fact, Tang Zhen had no complaints about Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling was able to refine an eighth-grade elixir at such a young age. This talent was obvious to all, and his future achievements would surely be limitless.

Although his daughter was also excellent, she was still a little behind Xiao Ling. If the two of them could go hand in hand, it would undoubtedly be a very happy ending for Fenyan Valley.

But in the final analysis, as a father, seeing his precious daughter being so close to another man, it is inevitable that he will have some complicated emotions in his heart. This feeling is difficult for any father to avoid.

Tang Zhen sighed softly in his heart and decided not to pay too much attention to the interaction between the two people behind him. Sometimes, turning a blind eye is also a way to make himself feel at ease.

At this moment, Qing Lin, who was originally sitting in the guest seat, also came over and naturally took Xiao Ling's arm. She looked in the direction of Tang Huo'er with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Tang Huoer noticed this scene, but she didn't take it too seriously. She had heard the girl address Xiao Ling before, and guessed that this was probably a little maid that Xiao Ling had taken in. She was indeed pretty and charming. In her opinion, such a little girl couldn't be her competitor.

As for why his cultivation level improved so quickly, with the help of Xiao Ling, an eighth-grade alchemist, it was natural for his cultivation level to improve.

Xiao Ling didn't take the subtle tension between the two women too seriously. As he walked, he gently stroked the soft fur of the mink in his arms, and occasionally interrupted them to respond to the occasional chat between the two women.

As they chatted leisurely along the way, the gravel path under their feet seemed to become shorter. Xiao Ling noticed that Tang Zhen in front of him suddenly stopped, and then he looked up.

At the end of the path, there is a building hidden among the lush trees. The three words "Fighting Skills Pavilion" can be vaguely seen on the door of the building.

"This is the Fighting Skills Pavilion of our Burning Flame Valley," Tang Huoer introduced softly beside Xiao Ling, "Usually this place is not open to the public..."

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, his eyes quickly scanning the surrounding woods. He could sense several hidden auras lurking here. Needless to say, they must be the guardians of the Fighting Skills Pavilion.

"Follow me," Tang Zhen waved to Xiao Ling and said, "The Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire is the top secret technique of our Burning Flame Valley. Only here can it be taught in the most complete way."

As he said this, he took the lead and walked towards the magnificent building. Xiao Ling hurriedly followed, with a hint of urgency in his steps. After all, he had spent a lot of effort to get this opportunity.

At the moment when the four people stopped in front of the Fighting Skills Pavilion, three figures descended from the top of the pavilion like flying birds. After landing, three old men in red robes were revealed. After revealing their figures, they bowed respectfully to Tang Zhen.

"Three elders, please open the fighting skills pavilion." Tang Zhen waved his hand casually and said calmly.

Hearing Tang Zhen's words, the three elders who exuded a powerful aura glanced at Xiao Ling and Qing Lin, then nodded in agreement.

They gestured at the same time, forming complex and mysterious seals, and beams of fiery red light immediately shot out from their palms and headed straight for the tightly closed door of the pavilion.

The moment the red light hit the door, ripples like water waves appeared on the door. Then with a creaking sound, the door slowly opened, revealing a hidden passage behind the door.

As the door slowly opened, Tang Zhen took the lead and walked into the depths of the pavilion first, followed by Xiao Ling and Tang Huo'er.

As Qinglin was not a member of Fenyan Valley and did not have the qualifications like Xiao Ling to enter and check out the fighting skills, she found a place to sit in the rest area near the entrance and waited quietly for them to come back.

As soon as he passed through the door, the light around him suddenly dimmed. In front of him were rows of neatly arranged tall bookshelves, which were filled with various colorful scrolls. Tang Zhen did not stay here for long, but went straight upstairs.

This pavilion has three floors. Xiao Ling and the others followed Tang Zhen and walked all the way to the top third floor before stopping.

The third floor of the Fighting Skills Pavilion was not actually too big. At first glance, it felt a bit empty. In the four corners, the light was dense, as if forming a small light domain. Outside of these lights, the air seemed to be a bit distorted, and people could clearly feel that everything on this floor was under special protection.

"Don't touch the items here casually, otherwise you might get into unnecessary trouble." Tang Zhen reminded Xiao Ling softly, and then walked towards the central area of ​​this floor.

There, a ball of red light slowly rotated in the air. Tang Zhen walked forward and quickly tapped the red light several times with his ten fingers. As he moved, the red light gradually dissipated, and finally a fist-sized red crystal ball was revealed.

The crystal ball was suspended in the air, red and transparent. At first glance, it seemed that the sphere contained thousands of mysterious runes, each of which flashed an alluring light. The whole scene looked mysterious and charming.

“This is the inheritance crystal of our Fenyan Valley. It not only contains the most complete practice method of the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire, but also records the improvements and insights of predecessors on this practice…” Tang Zhen said with a faint smile on his face.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly. He was not unfamiliar with the inheritance crystal, so he did not show too much surprise. He asked calmly: "Then when do we start?"

"Okay, you just need to connect your soul power to this inheritance crystal, and you will receive the complete inheritance of the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire." Tang Zhen explained, and then added, "After all, this is the forbidden area of ​​​​Fenyan Valley. I will always guard it here."

Xiao Ling nodded in understanding. The Fighting Skills Pavilion is the core of any sect, so Tang Zhen's protection is inevitable. Xiao Ling thought to himself that even if Tang Zhen wanted to stop him, he might not be able to stop him, but he didn't have any other thoughts.

"Let's get started." Xiao Ling said, ready to accept the inheritance.

Xiao Ling walked forward steadily, placing his hands lightly on the fiery red and clear crystal ball. Then his eyelids slowly fell, and the power of his soul slowly flowed out from his palms and merged into the crystal ball.

At the moment when the soul power touched the crystal ball, a subtle buzzing sounded in Xiao Ling's mind. Then, a large amount of information poured into his mind like a flood, one after another, without any pause.

With Xiao Ling's current soul power, absorbing this information is a piece of cake for him.

The moment he closed his eyes, he did not notice that when his soul power was injected into the crystal ball, a dazzling red light suddenly burst out from inside the crystal ball, and that red light instantly illuminated the entire space.

The intensity of the light made the entire Fighting Skills Pavilion seem to be on fire. The walls and pillars reflected a faint fiery red light, and the entire space seemed to be warm.

Tang Zhen and Tang Huoer, who were standing next to Xiao Ling, were so shocked by this sudden change that they opened their mouths wide and were speechless for a while. After a while, the two looked at each other and gasped at the same time, obviously deeply shocked by the scene before them.

This so-called inheritance crystal ball is not just a simple way to pass on secrets, it also has an additional function to test the talent of the practitioner. If someone has a high talent for this secret, the crystal ball will light up, and the higher the talent, the brighter the light.

The commotion caused by Xiao Ling was naturally the main reason why Tang Zhen and the others were so shocked... (End of this chapter)
