Chapter 384 8 products and 9 colors

Time passed slowly, and Xiao Ling immersed himself in alchemy. With his careful refining, the first refining process went surprisingly smoothly.

Relying on the state of great perfection in the spiritual realm, Xiao Ling handled every step just right, and the injection of every bit of spiritual power was accurate and correct, and there were no accidents in the process of refining the pill.

Without anyone noticing, seven days passed by in the blink of an eye.

In an instant, the tranquility was suddenly broken, and a low and loud noise suddenly exploded between heaven and earth. The sound was like a dull thunder that echoed in the valley, deafening and making people's hearts suddenly tighten.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely strong energy wave, like a surging tsunami, suddenly erupted from the place where the alchemy was being refined, and spread out in all directions with an overwhelming force.

Immediately, the sky was filled with clouds. The clear sky was instantly covered by dark clouds. The clouds seemed to be summoned by a mysterious force and quickly gathered together at lightning speed.

"Look! This is the thunder tribulation caused by the upcoming release of a high-level elixir. The elixir is about to be refined!"

Seeing this shocking scene, someone in the crowd suddenly widened his eyes and shouted out in shock. The voice trembled slightly with excitement and spread in all directions in the whistling wind.

When the people around heard the shout, they all looked up at the sky with a look of shock on their faces.

"It's only been seven days and the elixir is about to be produced. Could it be that he directly refined a seventh-grade Lingyuan Fuheng Pill instead of an eighth-grade three-pattern Lingyuan Fuheng Pill?"

The old woman who had first questioned Xiao Ling frowned slightly and muttered to herself in confusion.

After all, the time Xiao Ling took to refine this time was too abnormal. It would take a normal eighth-grade alchemist longer to refine a seventh-grade pill, but this was much faster than the normal time to refine an eighth-grade pill, so it was understandable that he was misunderstood as refining a seventh-grade pill.

When the people around heard the old woman's whispers, they couldn't help but fall into deep thought, their eyes fixed on the calamity clouds that were constantly gathering in the sky, and they were all guessing the quality of the elixir in their hearts.

"No, the pill refined this time is definitely an eighth-grade pill. A seventh-grade pill would not emit such a strong energy fluctuation."

At this time, a middle-aged woman next to him started to explain. She was the alchemy elder of Yin Valley. Although she was only a low-level sixth-grade alchemist, she had accumulated a lot of experience when she went out to participate in alchemy conferences.

She knew very well that there was a significant difference in the energy fluctuations when the seventh-grade elixir and the eighth-grade elixir were born, just like a stream versus a river, and they could be distinguished at a glance.

Therefore, she was certain that this was a sign that the eighth-grade elixir was about to be born. The strong energy fluctuations were like a unique mark, leaving her with no doubt at all.

Before everyone had time to continue the discussion, they saw Xiao Ling, who was originally sitting quietly, making a new move.

Under those gazes, Xiao Ling slowly stood up, his figure tall and slender. The long hours of alchemy did not seem to have caused any damage to him.

The corners of Xiao Ling's mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident and calm smile, and his eyes looked towards the rolling thunderclouds in the sky.

At this time, the thunderclouds in the sky seemed to have life. After several violent tumblings, several wonderful changes occurred in succession.

The originally dark clouds gradually showed nine colors, each color was bright and dazzling, like a dream painting slowly unfolding in the sky.

These colors intertwined and merged with each other, and brilliant light flickered in the clouds, as if the entire sky was lit up, releasing a mysterious and powerful aura that shocked everyone on the ground.

"It is actually an eighth-grade colored pill thunder, and it is the highest grade nine-colored pill thunder!"

In an instant, the sky and the earth were illuminated by these gorgeous colors. The nine-colored thunder was like nine majestic dragons, rolling and roaring in the clouds, shining with awe-inspiring light.

Seeing this, Su Li's face, which was originally as calm as a deep pool of still water, suddenly showed an uncontrollable excitement. Her clear eyes were full of shock and surprise, as if she had seen the most incredible scene in the world.

The elders around also gasped and exclaimed one after another.

Qing Lin, who was not far away, stared at the dreamy nine-colored thunder in the sky with a proud smile on his face.

In her heart, her young master was omnipotent and could always create amazing miracles.

In today's world, how many alchemists can make nine-color elixirs? They are simply rare!

Many old monsters who have immersed themselves in alchemy for many years cannot make it in their entire lives.

Back then, even a peerless genius like Yao Chen had to go through countless attempts and accumulate years of experience in alchemy before he was able to refine an eighth-grade, nine-color elixir.

But what about Xiao Ling? He is only twenty years old, but he has already achieved such amazing results!
If this matter were to get out, it would definitely cause a huge storm in the outside world, and the entire continent would be shocked!

Xiao Ling looked up at the gorgeous nine-colored thundercloud in the sky, and a sense of complacency surged in his heart. This thundercloud was like a monument, announcing his achievements and strength.

You know, for countless alchemists, refining an eighth-grade nine-color pill is something they dare not even think about. It is like the stars hanging high in the sky, which can only be looked up but not touched. But Xiao Ling did it.

However, this time Xiao Ling was not able to refine an eighth-grade nine-color elixir all at once.

Although Xiao Ling's soul power has reached the Great Perfection of the Spirit Realm, he still lacks experience in alchemy. After breaking through to Dou Zun, he did not spend much time learning alchemy from Yao Chen before leaving Xingyun Pavilion. Moreover, he only refined a Fire Bodhisattva Pill in Fenyan Valley and did not practice alchemy well.

This time, Xiao Ling was more proficient in refining the pill, and with the assistance of three different strange fires and the ability to multitask, the steps of nourishing the pill were relatively easy.

Even so, at the beginning Xiao Ling could only refine an eighth-grade seven-color pill. In the end, he relied on the spiritual improvement method taught by Yao Chen to improve the quality of the pill, and successfully upgraded the grade of this pill to an eighth-grade nine-color pill.

"Oh no! The power of the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning cannot be underestimated. We cannot easily resist it! Elders, listen to my order and quickly activate the sect protection formation!"

Coming back to her senses from her joy, Su Li suddenly shouted, her brows knitted tightly together, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. The excitement on her face just now was fading away quickly.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling remained silent and did not speak out to stop it. He knew very well that the power of the Nine-Colored Pill Thunder was no joke, and it would be extremely difficult to catch it.

He also had no intention of letting the Heavenly Demon Puppet take it head-on. After all, before refining the elixir, he had already negotiated with Yin Gu on how to deal with the elixir thunder. In this situation, the employer had to find a way to solve it himself.

Around the square, the elders of Yin Valley had already been on high alert. They looked solemn, nodded one after another, and quickly formed hand seals at the same time.

In an instant, powerful fighting spirit spurted out from their hands, and these fighting spirits were like dazzling arrows of light, shooting into the air.

They intertwined and entangled in the air, like a pair of invisible hands carefully weaving a gorgeous and huge light net. As the fighting spirit continued to merge and change, an extremely large formation gradually took shape.

This formation was magnificent, like an inverted giant bowl, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura. It shone with colorful light, which was like layers of flowing light curtains, reflecting each other and dazzling.

The formation expanded rapidly, and soon covered an area of ​​several hundred feet in radius, as if it had created an independent world in this area, giving people an incomparably solid sense of security.

Just as the formation was taking shape, the Dan Lei in the sky seemed to have accumulated all its energy and finally began to attack.

The nine-colored pill lightning was like a peerless heavenly sword, carrying the momentum to destroy the world, and it slashed fiercely towards the bottom.

In an instant, the space became like fragile glass, with cracks appearing one after another. These cracks spread rapidly, as if they were going to tear the entire world apart.

Wherever Dan Lei passed, the air was compressed sharply, forming circles of shock waves visible to the naked eye, which spread wildly in all directions, making a deafening roar that seemed to shatter people's eardrums.

Everything around was trembling under this terrifying force, and it seemed that it would be completely destroyed by the Dan Lei in the next second. Fortunately, Yin Valley has a long history, profound heritage, and extraordinary heritage. It has made sufficient preparations before refining the elixir, so the process of dealing with the Dan Lei seems to be orderly and well-organized.

During this process, Xiao Ling also released several Heavenly Demon Puppets. Under the cover of the formation, these Heavenly Demon Puppets rushed towards the Pill Thunder and began to absorb the energy of the Pill Thunder.

With the protection of the formation, there was no need to worry about the Dan Lei being too powerful, causing the Heavenly Demon Puppet to be unable to withstand it and become scrapped. On the contrary, after absorbing the Dan Lei energy, the Heavenly Demon Puppet seemed to have been nourished, its quality had improved a lot, and the light on its body had become brighter.

With a rumbling sound of thunder like thousands of troops galloping past, the astonishingly powerful nine-colored pill thunder was finally successfully taken on.

At this moment, there was still some violent energy between heaven and earth, moving freely in the air. Fortunately, no one took the initiative to offend these energies, and they would gradually dissipate without causing any substantial damage. Everything around was still safe and sound.

Xiao Ling looked up at the sky, watching the pill thunder gradually dissipate. He suddenly stretched out his hand and clenched it, and the powerful soul power surged out like a surging wave, instantly trapping the pill that turned into a stream of light and tried to escape. Then, he pulled hard, and the pill returned to his side obediently.

Xiao Ling quickly sealed the pill in the jade bottle, then turned to look at Su Li and others who were walking towards him quickly with joy on their faces.

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. Master Suli, please come and check this pill."

Xiao Ling said this solemnly while handing the jade bottle containing the elixir to Su Li.

Su Li took the jade bottle, rubbed it gently with her hand, then carefully took out the pill, placed it in her palm and examined it carefully.

After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the pill, Su Li breathed a sigh of relief, put the pill back into the jade bottle, put it away carefully, and handed it to Xiao Ling again.

"We will need your cooperation with the Grand Elder later, so you should keep this medicine." Su Li said to Xiao Ling with a relieved smile on her face.

Xiao Ling took the jade bottle and carefully put it away. He looked at Su Li and nodded slightly: "Since I have the trust of Valley Master Su Li, I will not let you down."

At this time, Qinglin came to Xiao Ling with light lotus steps, like a gentle breeze, and then naturally took one of his arms, looking intimate and cute. She tilted her head slightly, looking at Xiao Ling with eyes full of admiration and dependence.

A doting smile appeared on Xiao Ling's lips, and he reached out and gently rubbed Qing Lin's silky hair.

Then, his gaze passed Qinglin and looked at the graceful figure in white who was walking behind Qinglin.

"Miss Yuxi, I haven't seen you for more than a year. You have improved a lot in your cultivation." Xiao Ling said with a smile. That smile was like the spring sun, warm and gentle.

"Master Xiao Ling, please stop teasing me."

Ning Yuxi bowed slightly and saluted. Her figure was graceful, like a blooming white lotus.

Her tone was ethereal, yet it carried a hint of helplessness, "Compared to you, my improvement is nothing."

She raised her head and looked at Xiao Ling with a complicated look in her eyes.

When she first met Xiao Ling, Ning Yuxi felt that he was no ordinary person. At that time, Xiao Ling was already an extremely evil being in her eyes.

But she didn't expect that when they met again today, Xiao Ling could actually refine an eighth-grade nine-color elixir. Even she herself had lived for more than 20 years, and it was the first time she could see an eighth-grade nine-color elixir with her own eyes.

Facing this peer, Ning Yuxi felt like a frog in a well looking up at the moon, or a mayfly looking up at the sky. The insurmountable gap between them made her feel ashamed.

Seeing Ning Yuxi like this, Xiao Ling smiled helplessly. In fact, Xiao Ling could more or less guess what Ning Yuxi was thinking, but he didn't know what to say.

Then, he turned his gaze to Su Li who was standing beside him, and his expression became serious: "Valley Master Su Li, time is running out, please take me to the residence of the Grand Elder now."

Su Li nodded solemnly, but did not leave immediately. She first walked towards the elders of the surrounding Sound Valley and whispered something to them.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Ling turned to Qing Lin and whispered some words to her, asking her to wait here for him to come back. After giving her the instructions, he also asked Liekongzuo to follow Qing Lin and do some other things.

Immediately, Xiao Ling took Qinglin's hand, walked to Ning Yuxi, and said sincerely: "Yuxi, Qinglin is left to you. You are from Yin Valley and are familiar with this place. I believe you can take good care of her."

"Master Xiao Ling, don't worry, I will take good care of Sister Qinglin." Ning Yuxi replied with a smile. Qinglin saved her life, and their relationship has always been good. Even if Xiao Ling didn't give any special instructions, she would still be a good host and entertain Qinglin well when she arrived in Yin Valley.

After both of them had explained everything, Su Li gestured to Xiao Ling, and then took the lead to walk towards the deepest part of the Sound Valley.

Xiao Ling took a deep breath and quickly followed. The two of them gradually disappeared on the slightly mysterious road deep in the Sound Valley, leaving only the expectant and worried eyes of the people around them.

……

As he went deeper into the Sound Valley, Xiao Ling keenly noticed that the number of disciples patrolling was gradually increasing. These disciples were dressed in uniform, with alert eyes and vigorous steps, and they patrolled their respective areas in an orderly manner.

But when the patrolling female disciples saw that it was Valley Master Su Li who was leading the way, awe immediately flashed in their eyes, and they all saluted respectfully, without any intention of stopping them, allowing the two to fly past quickly.

Soon, Su Li brought Xiao Ling to a solitary peak. The two of them descended and slowly landed on the top of the solitary peak. The solitary peak was towering into the clouds, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

On the top of the peak, a magnificent palace stands quietly.

The walls of the palace are made of huge white jade stones, which reflect a soft and mysterious light under the sunlight, as if every piece of jade contains endless spiritual power.

The eaves of the palace are upturned like a crane spreading its wings to fly. The wind chimes hanging on the eaves sway gently in the breeze, making clear and pleasant sounds, like heavenly music.

Just by taking a glance from a distance, Xiao Ling keenly noticed that there were multiple restrictions around this palace.

Those prohibitions were like invisible nets, intertwining and overlapping each other, emitting a dangerous aura.

If someone tries to force their way in, even a high-level Dou Zun will be trapped and will not be able to escape in a short period of time.

If things go as expected, this magnificent palace in front of us should be the residence of the Supreme Elder Yin Gu.

After the two of them landed lightly, Su Li walked forward gracefully, and Xiao Ling followed closely behind, walking towards the towering palace not far ahead.

The ground beneath my feet is made of smooth stone slabs. With every step I take, I can feel a faint energy fluctuation coming from under the stone slabs, as if this solitary peak has its own pulse.

The surrounding clouds and mist floated slowly around them like a veil, occasionally a few strands would playfully wrap around their ankles before quickly dispersing.

After walking for a while, they arrived in front of the palace gate. The two palace doors were majestic and solemn, and seemed to be seven or eight feet high.

Su Li stopped in front of the palace gate and took out a token with her slender fingers. The token emitted a soft light, and she gently injected her fighting spirit into it.

Suddenly, the light on the token became stronger, and a bright beam of light shot out from the token like an arrow, accurately hitting a groove in the center of the temple door.

The moment the beam hit the palace door, it immediately triggered a series of reactions. The light patterns on the palace door spread outward from the center at a visible speed. These light patterns seemed to have their own life and began to intertwine and entangle.

As the light patterns spread and intertwined, the palace door made several deep and powerful sounds. Then, the two huge palace doors slowly opened inwards... (End of this chapter)
