Chapter 405: The 4-square Pavilion Conference is about to begin

Then, Xiao Ling turned to the two monsters and said, "I'm sorry, both of you. This was done by my friends. They sometimes act impulsively. For my sake, let's just let it go this time. These things are my compensation to you."

After saying that, Xiao Ling waved his hand, and several eighth-level medicinal herbs with a strong medicinal fragrance appeared on the ground. He did not linger here for too long, and after slightly signaling to Liekongzuo, his figure flashed and rushed straight towards the direction of Xingyun Pavilion.

……

When Xiao Ling's figure returned to Xingyun Pavilion again, the afterglow of the setting sun had gradually disappeared behind the western hills. The night was like a huge piece of black silk, slowly spreading from the edge of the sky, covering the entire Douqi Continent bit by bit.

The Xingyun Pavilion, however, was like a dazzling night pearl, not affected by the deepening dusk at all, and was still a bustling scene.

In the starry sky, on the towering mountains, there are many attic buildings scattered in an orderly manner. At this moment, in the window frames, there are bright lights flickering and swaying, just like stars falling into the earth and inlaid between the mountain pavilions.

The disciples and elders in the pavilion used their own methods to travel freely between the star realms of the Falling Star Pavilion.

Some of them spread their fighting wings with a nimble posture, and under the light, the wings sparkled with colorful light, like dreamy wings, which brought up a soft airflow with a gentle flap; others stepped into the air calmly, and with every step they took, circles of invisible ripples seemed to appear under their feet.

Their figures streaked across the night sky, leaving behind dazzling rainbows of light, like meteors flying across the sky, crisscrossing and weaving a magnificent picture full of movement and vitality. People can't help but indulge in the unique splendor of the Star Meteoric Pavilion, as if they were in a fairyland, like a dream, fascinating.

At the entrance to the star realm, the void was like a mysterious lake with ripples on it, and subtle spatial fluctuations were quietly spreading.

After a while, a dazzling white light appeared like a silver snake, and Xiao Ling's figure slowly emerged.

Xiao Ling's figure paused in the air for a moment, and his eyes casually swept around, taking in the surrounding situation in an instant.

Then, he lightly tapped the air with his toes, causing a small area of ​​space to tremble slightly, as if a small stone was thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

At this moment, he turned into a dazzling stream of light and flew rapidly towards Ling Yuefeng. He disappeared from here in the blink of an eye, leaving only the space ripples that had not yet completely dissipated.

Those disciples who were performing patrol missions within the star realm were concentrating on their respective duties. Suddenly, Xiao Ling's figure flashed in their sight like a stunning flash of light.

The disciples were stunned at first, but when he came closer and they saw clearly that it was Xiao Ling's face, they all stopped what they were doing, their expressions instantly became extremely respectful, and they saluted and greeted Xiao Ling in unison.

Xiao Ling noticed their movements and immediately slowed down his speed slightly. With a hint of gentleness on his face, he nodded lightly to the patrolling disciples as a response, and then sped away again, leaving a group of disciples looking at the direction he was going, their hearts full of awe and respect.

After Xiao Ling's figure turned into a gradually blurred streak of light in the sky and flew away completely, these patrolling disciples suddenly seemed to have been released from some kind of restriction. They immediately gathered together and started talking at once.

"Master Xiao Ling is really a very kind person. Look, he even slowed down to greet us. How kind he is."

.

"Yes, yes. They are not like the elders in the pavilion who always have a cold face. When they pass by us, their eyes seem to be up to the sky. They don't take us seriously at all."

"Hey, have you heard that the Pavilion Master seems to be planning to let Master Xiao Ling take Master Mu Qingluan with him to attend the Sifang Pavilion Conference this time?"

"Really? But Master Xiao Ling was only at the Dou Zong level before. If he takes the senior sister with him, what if he encounters a powerful character? Isn't it a bit risky? The heads of the other three pavilions are not all at the Dou Zun level. Will Master Xiao Ling be at a disadvantage?"

"Hey, you are so uninformed. There was news earlier that Master Xiao Ling had already been promoted to the Dou Zun realm. Moreover, he is an eighth-grade alchemist. With this status, everyone has to be polite to him. Who dares to provoke him easily?"

"Hiss, it's true. I didn't expect that Master Xiao Ling could break through the Dou Zun realm at such a young age, in his twenties, and his alchemist level has also reached the eighth level. This talent is simply God's will. His future achievements are definitely beyond our imagination."

……

Not long after, Xiao Ling flew over Lingyue Peak like a stream of light. He turned gracefully, like a light feather, slowly falling downwards, and finally settled steadily in the courtyard.

There was no one in the courtyard at this moment, and Qinglin and the others probably went back to their rooms. However, there were lights on in several rooms, which meant that they were not asleep yet.

However, the slight movement caused by Xiao Ling's return was obviously captured by them keenly.

At this moment, Xiao Ling suddenly felt ripples in the void in front of him. In an instant, a petite figure in purple clothes stepped out from the void and threw himself into Xiao Ling's arms.

"Xiao Ling, where have you been all day? I'm almost bored to death!" Zi Yan put her arms around Xiao Ling's neck, rubbed her little face against his chest, and complained coquettishly.

Xiao Ling gently lifted up Zi Yan's body, rubbed her little head lovingly, with a smile on his face, and said softly: "I went out to deal with some things today, and happened to get some opportunities, so I was delayed for a while."

Zi Yan did not respond to Xiao Ling's words immediately, but tilted her head slightly, with confusion written all over her face.

Then, she came forward and sniffed Xiao Ling gently like a curious kitten, then quickly pulled back, staring at Xiao Ling with her eyes, her tone full of surprise and inquiry, and said,
"Xiao Ling, this is strange. How come I can smell the breath of the dragon clan from you? Although this breath is not strong, it is definitely unmistakable. Have you been to a place where real dragons roam, or have you had any intersection with the dragon clan? You must tell me in detail."

Zi Yan paused for a moment, then continued, "Also, this is the first time I've sensed this dragon aura. This shouldn't be the dragon aura associated with the Taixu Ancient Dragon. But this dragon aura of unknown origin, um... how can I describe it? I feel that the impression it gives me is in no way inferior to that of the Taixu Ancient Dragon. In some ways, they are even equally powerful."

"There's nothing to hide about this. Not long ago, when I was traveling, I was fortunate enough to obtain a body-building martial art created by an elder of the dragon clan, called "Blue Sky Transformation into Dragon Art."

Facing Zi Yan's eyes that were full of curiosity and sparkling like purple gemstones, Xiao Ling raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said frankly,

"I went to the Tianxing Mountains specifically to practice this unique body-refining martial art. As for the slight dragon aura on my body, it is actually the effect of practicing this martial art. When I become more proficient in the practice in the future, the aura will naturally not be so easily exposed."

"Hey, the dragon race's body-refining technique, this is quite interesting. And judging from this, the grade must be quite high. It is quite suitable for you to practice such a technique. Otherwise, as an alchemist, you always look so weak that you will fall down with just two punches from others."

Zi Yan stretched out her fair little hand and tapped her chin, nodded slightly, then stretched out her little fist and waved it in front of Xiao Ling, saying with a giggle.

Seeing Zi Yan like this, Xiao Ling smiled, shook his head helplessly, stretched out his finger and tapped her forehead, and said jokingly with a bit of pampering: "Although I am an alchemist, I am not as weak as you say. Girl, don't underestimate me. You may not be my opponent now."

While Xiao Ling and Zi Yan were laughing and playing, Qing Lin and Medusa also slowly walked out of the room, moving with light lotus steps, and immediately gathered around them.

Xiao Ling gently put Zi Yan down from his arms, then greeted Qing Lin and Medusa with a smile.

"Young Master, I feel that the temperament you exude seems to have changed from before. However, it is more attractive than before." Qing Lin was born with unusual pupils, and her observation ability was extremely strong. In addition, she had spent the longest time with Xiao Ling, so she was able to keenly notice the unusual changes in Xiao Ling. She tilted her head slightly, with a hint of curiosity and exploration in her eyes, and said softly.

"Haha, I had an adventure before, so there have been some changes. Don't worry too much..." Xiao Ling rubbed Qinglin's head, explained casually, and also briefly told the story about "Qingtian Hualong Jue".

After hearing the news, Medusa and Qing Lin, who knew about this, were also sincerely happy for Xiao Ling. Just thinking about the physical training martial arts that is comparable to the level of heavenly fighting skills, you can know that its value is absolutely extraordinary.

It is definitely a great opportunity for Xiao Ling to obtain such high-quality body-building martial arts. If he can practice to a high level in the future, he will definitely gain many benefits and his strength will be greatly improved.

Xiao Ling was talking to the two people when he suddenly felt his sleeve being gently tugged.

He subconsciously looked back and saw Zi Yan staring at him with her big eyes, a very bright smile on her face. At the same time, she held a storage ring high in her hand and handed it to him, saying,
"Xiao Ling, I have already eaten all the pills you prepared for me. You have to make some more pills for me later. Make more this time, or they will be finished soon."

"Okay, I'll refine it for you later. I went out to take care of some things today, and really forgot about you, a little foodie. Don't worry, this time I will make enough for you to eat for a while, and I won't let my Zi Yan go hungry." Xiao Ling smiled and stretched out his hand to take the storage ring handed to him by Zi Yan, nodding his head with a doting face.

Immediately, Xiao Ling turned his gaze towards the direction of Medusa and said with a gentle smile: "Didn't I promise you before that I would refine twenty Transformation Pills for you? I will start refining them together later. If you are interested, you can come over and take a look."

Medusa just nodded slightly, without showing any obvious change in expression, still looking calm.

But in fact, after hearing these words, she felt a little happy in her heart, but her self-esteem made her unwilling to show it easily.

Xiao Ling did not intend to waste too much time. Since he had already agreed, he naturally had to take action quickly. After finding a relatively open space on the mountain, he immediately began to refine the pill.

Zi Yan, Qing Lin and Medusa who were standing by didn't feel bored at all. The three of them sat around Xiao Ling's alchemy position, observing his every move while chatting with interest.

……

In the following days, Xiao Ling's pace of life gradually slowed down.

Every day, he would devote himself to the study of alchemy. With the guidance of Yao Chen, a quasi-ninth-grade alchemist, as time slowly passed, his attainments in alchemy gradually improved and gradually complemented his own spiritual realm.

At the same time, Xiao Ling never forgot Qingzhi's original instructions, and spent a lot of time practicing "Qingtian Hualong Jue" every day.

Thanks to the various elixirs that Yao Chen carefully refined according to his condition to help strengthen his body, and with the continuous addition of various rare resources, Xiao Ling's practice of this technique has achieved remarkable results.

Now, Xiao Ling's physical strength has far surpassed that of ordinary magical beasts of the same level. Although he cannot compare with top magical beasts such as the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan by physical strength alone, the leap-forward improvement is enough to be amazing. The effect of Tianwuxue can only be described as terrifying!
During his spare time of cultivation, Xiao Ling would always stay with Qinglin, Ziyan and Medusa.

There is no need to explain the friendship between Qinglin, Ziyan and Xiao Ling. After being together for a long time, they have already developed a deep affection for each other.

Xiao Ling and Medusa also spent more time together during this peaceful period. After all, unlike Qing Lin and Zi Yan, Medusa had lived with Xiao Ling for a long time and had already established a deep emotional foundation. At first, the two were a little reserved, but slowly, in their daily interactions, they began to get familiar with each other's preferences and habits.

Or they share an interesting story while strolling in the garden together, or exchange some insights while meditating in the afternoon. Unconsciously, a different kind of tacit understanding quietly grows in the two people's hearts, and the relationship becomes closer and closer, as if a trace of warmth is gently wrapped around each other.

However, there seemed to be a subtle veil between the two of them. Although they were getting along better, neither of them revealed their true feelings to the other.

There is still room between the words, as if afraid of disturbing the friendship that is slowly growing in the quiet time. The perfect distance is maintained in the silence, neither distant nor too intimate.

They are just quietly accompanying each other, waiting for an opportunity to break this vague barrier.

Time flies by like a white horse, quietly slipping away between fingers. In the calm and quiet, the date for the Sifang Pavilion Conference has come...

……

As its name suggests, the Four-sided Pavilion Conference is jointly held by the four major pavilions in Zhongzhou. Although the real protagonists in the conference are the people from these four pavilions, every convening of the Four-sided Pavilion Conference will become a major event in Zhongzhou.

Although it is slightly smaller in scale and influence than the world-famous Dan Conference in Dantana, it is also one of the rare and highly anticipated events in the Central Plains.

The focus of the Sifang Pavilion Conference is not the successful and powerful people of the older generation, but the leaders of the younger generation.

The young people who are able to represent Sifang Pavilion and step onto the arena of this conference are undoubtedly the elites among the younger generation in all parties.

They are like the rising sun, containing infinite potential and hope, and are the key to the continuation and development of every force.

Therefore, Sifang Pavilion has devoted great efforts to the cultivation of the younger generation, sparing no effort to tap their talents and hone their skills, just to demonstrate their own foundation and strength in this conference and let the power of youth shine most brilliantly in this event.

With Sifang Pavilion's unremitting efforts in training, there are many talented people among the younger generation, including many brilliant and extraordinary people.

Feng Qing'er from Fenglei Pavilion, Tang Ying from Wanjian Pavilion, Wang Chen from Huangquan Pavilion, Mu Qingluan from Xingyun Pavilion, and Xiao Yan, who has recently become famous in the Northern Territory, etc...

Even though these young talents are in the land of Zhongzhou where there are many powerful people, they have gained a reputation that cannot be underestimated due to their outstanding talents and have become the focus of everyone's attention.

Of course, Zhongzhou is full of hidden talents, and no one knows where a dark horse will suddenly emerge. But even so, every Sifang Pavilion conference will attract many forces and countless young people who think they are strong.

Although the main players of this conference are generally the Sifang Pavilion, other contestants are not rejected. However, in order to improve the quality, necessary screening will naturally be required, and it is said to be quite strict, which will also eliminate some unqualified people.

Among the many competitions held by the younger generation, the Sifang Pavilion Conference is of considerable value. Its standards are so high that even some of the older generation of strong men may find it difficult to reach such a height.

The venue of the Four-sided Pavilion Conference has always been determined by the party to which the final winner of the previous conference belongs. The glory of the previous conference went to Fenglei Pavilion, so the venue of this grand event was decided to be Fenglei East Pavilion.

As the Four-Sided Pavilion Competition approaches, this place has already become a busy scene. Heroes from all sides are about to gather, and a grand gathering will begin in a few days...
