Chapter 443 7-color rough stone

After briefly explaining to Zi Yan, Xiao Ling controlled the fire knife and carefully and cautiously dug out the jade pit containing the essence of the earth's core.

Afterwards, he adapted to local conditions and used the surrounding Earth's Core Jade materials to carefully carve out an exquisite jade box. He then carefully transferred the Earth's Core Soul Essence into the jade box to ensure its safe and proper storage.

"After this alchemy meeting is over and we return to Xingyun Pavilion, I will hand over this Earth Soul Essence to Yao Lao. With his superb alchemy skills and the careful blending of some high-quality medicinal materials, I believe he will be able to develop a soul-refining liquid with excellent efficacy."

After Xiao Ling properly packed the Earth's Soul Essence, he couldn't help but smile expectantly. Then, a white light flashed in his hand, and the jade box containing the Earth's Soul Essence was put into his ring.

Afterwards, Xiao Ling gently rubbed Zi Yan's little head and said with a smile: "This time, we were able to discover the Earth's Soul Marrow, thanks to your keen perception. When the medicine is successfully prepared, I will also give you a portion so that your soul power can be further improved."

"Uh-huh."

Zi Yan nodded obediently. Since Xiao Ling said so, this thing must be a good treasure that will be useful to her. Then she will just wait to use it later. Xiao Ling will not harm her anyway.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, then his eyes fell on the Earth Core Jade Mother in front of him, which was still about half a foot high. He waved his hand lightly and put it into the ring.

Although he has such a precious treasure as the Earth's Soul Marrow in front of him, the Earth's Jade Mother is also a rare treasure, so Xiao Ling naturally would not despise it.

After putting away all the things, Xiao Ling gently took Zi Yan's soft little hand. He touched the bottom of the pit with his toes, and then he rushed out with Zi Yan, and then landed steadily on the edge of the cave.

Then he waved his hand casually, and the surrounding soil flew up, eventually completely covering the deep pit.

After doing all this, Xiao Ling gently patted the dust off his body, and then very gently wiped off the dust stuck on Zi Yan's pink little face.

Then, he slowly looked around and released his soul to explore.

Afterwards, Xiao Ling slowly looked around and released his soul to explore.

Sure enough, in a void not far away, Xiao Ling noticed a figure secretly spying on him and Zi Yan.

Judging from the aura he exudes, this person's cultivation should have reached the Seven-Star Dou Zong realm.

When the man realized that his concealment had been discovered and the moment he recognized Xiao Ling's identity, his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, and a hint of shock that was difficult to conceal flashed in his eyes.

Not long ago, he happened to pass by this desert area and caught a slight sound coming from a deep pit.

He was curious and wanted to go down the pit to find out what was going on. However, the smell in the deep pit made him feel cold, so he decided to wait by the pit and observe the situation.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, he actually waited for the existence that he dared not to provoke.

What frightened him even more was that his actions seemed to have been seen clearly by the other party, and the shadow of life and death instantly loomed over his heart.

Ever since Xiao Ling emerged in the northern region of Zhongzhou, he has been famous for quite some time. Even if no one has seen him in person, his portrait has long been circulated.

Almost all the alchemists who were able to attend this alchemy meeting knew Xiao Ling's face.

No matter what kind of extraordinary treasures Xiao Ling obtained from the deep pit, they were not something that a mere Seven-Star Dou Zong like him could covet.

Although according to rumors, Master Xiao Ling is generally regarded as elegant, gentle, and kind to others, deep down Huang Yi does not dare to simply regard Xiao Ling and Zi Yan as good men and women.

If I really make the other party unhappy, then getting rid of me will not be much more difficult than crushing an ant.

He also knew that he could no longer hide his figure, so he stepped out of the void and revealed his figure.

He faced Xiao Ling and Zi Yan, bowed deeply, and his tone was full of respect and courtesy.
"My name is Huang Yi, and I am here to pay my respects to Master Xiao Ling. I was just passing by here, and stopped because I was curious about the movement under the deep pit. I didn't expect that I accidentally spied on your whereabouts. I am really sorry, and I hope you will forgive me."

"Here, Huang Yi expresses his deepest apologies to you. I hope that Master will forgive me and not take my unintentional mistake seriously."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Yi skillfully took off the storage ring containing all his treasures from his finger, held it carefully in his palm, and bent over to hand it in the direction of Xiao Ling.

His movements seemed somewhat humble, and his eyes revealed sincerity and expectation.

This ring was obviously a gift from him to compensate for his previous inappropriate behavior. He hoped to gain Xiao Ling's forgiveness and let him be safe.

Looking at the respectful attitude of the old man in front of him, Xiao Ling couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and a smile of interest appeared at the corner of his mouth.

This guy is quite sensible. Xiao Ling originally planned to punish him, but gave up the idea at this moment.

He was not a bloodthirsty and murderous person. Since the other party showed such a sincere attitude, Xiao Ling was too lazy to get entangled with him any more.

Xiao Ling waved his hand lightly, and the exquisite storage ring in Huang Yi's hand seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand and flew lightly into Xiao Ling's palm.

He did not investigate further, but handed the ring to Zi Yan beside him, as if it was just a small toy he was giving away.

After all, these were treasures collected by an alchemist throughout his life, and they were worthy of being given to Zi Yan as snacks.

He looked at Huang Yi again, and his tone was full of unquestionable majesty: "Well, considering that you have cultivated to this point, it is not easy. And your attitude of admitting your mistakes is sincere, so I will not pursue it. But remember, this will not happen again. Now, you can go."

Huang Yi felt relieved after hearing this, and his tense nerves relaxed instantly. He couldn't help but look back at the exquisite ring in Zi Yan's hand, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.

The ring contained all the precious resources he had collected over the years, but now they were gone in one day. However, after a little thought, compared with his precious life, all these seemed insignificant.

He saluted Xiao Ling again and bowed deeply to show his gratitude and respect. Huang Yi did not say much. He knew that the most important thing he should do at this moment was to leave.

Then, he flashed and turned into a streak of light, quickly disappearing into the sky, leaving only a faint stream of light...

Xiao Ling watched Huang Yi's figure gradually disappear into the sky. Without giving it any more thought, he withdrew his gaze and prepared to leave with Zi Yan.

However, at this moment, Zi Yan's clear voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Xiao Ling's next action.

"Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, come and take a look at this thing," Zi Yan called out eagerly, her voice revealing a hint of excitement of discovering a great secret, "I can feel that the origin of this thing is definitely not ordinary. Moreover, the aura permeating this stone makes me vaguely feel an inexplicable feeling similar to that in Sister Medusa's bloodline."

As she spoke, Zi Yan gently raised her hand and handed the stone emitting a strange aura directly to Xiao Ling.

Hearing Zi Yan's words, Xiao Ling couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then his gaze slowly moved to Zi Yan's open palm.

In those pink little hands, there lay quietly a stone only the size of a thumb.

Upon closer inspection, one can see seven extremely clear lines carved on the surface of the stone. Faintly, one can feel a mysterious energy slowly dissipating from these lines, permeating the air, giving people an indescribable feeling.

"Hey, could this be... a colorful raw stone?" Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, and the moment his eyes fell on the object, a flash of enlightenment suddenly came into his mind, and he recognized what kind of object it was.

This so-called seven-colored raw stone is actually a special mutated spiritual stone, which has an intricate relationship with the seven-colored Sky-Swallowing Python.

It is said that only in the place where the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python fell, there is a slight possibility that this kind of seven-colored raw stone will appear. Once this seven-colored raw stone absorbs the blood of the Sky-Swallowing Python, it will breed a very unique energy. For the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, this energy is undoubtedly a real tonic. It is not difficult to understand why Zi Yan said that the breath emanating from this stone is so similar to the breath of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python bloodline in Medusa's body.

"Is the colorful raw stone very precious? Is there any relationship between this stone and Sister Medusa's original body, the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python?" Zi Yan blinked her big eyes like purple gems and asked Xiao Ling.

Zi Yan had never been interested in learning knowledge. She either slept, ate, drank and played every day. She only knew about the information related to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. And this seven-color raw stone was the first time she had heard of it.

"This colorful raw stone is indeed a rare treasure, but its value depends on the person. For you and me, it is not of much use..."

Xiao Ling took the colorful raw stone from Zi Yan's hand lightly, turned it gently with his fingertips, and examined it carefully. Then he briefly explained some relevant information about the colorful raw stone to Zi Yan.

"In short, this piece of seven-colored raw stone is definitely a great tonic for your sister Medusa. I believe that with this seven-colored raw stone, it should be able to play a significant role in her cultivation..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a white light flashed in Xiao Ling's hand, and he put the colorful raw stone into the ring.

Just now, Xiao Ling had carefully observed the seven-colored raw stone for a while, but he himself did not have the blood of the seven-colored Sky-Swallowing Python clan, so he could not see any deeper clues.

As to whether this is a higher-level eight-color raw stone, or a rarer nine-color raw stone, I'm afraid I can only take it back and let Medusa taste it personally to know the answer.

"I understand. Then we will give this colorful raw stone to Sister Medusa later." Zi Yan nodded slightly and said as if she had suddenly realized something.

"That's natural. After all, looking at the entire Douqi Continent, there is only one seven-colored sky-swallowing python, Medusa, and only she is suitable to use this seven-colored raw stone."

Xiao Ling nodded gently and rubbed Zi Yan's little head. Then he took Zi Yan's pink little hand and said,
"Let's go. Let's not waste any more time here. This place is not far from the Wanyao Mountain Range. We can go there. The medicinal materials there are the most abundant in the Dan World. We should be able to gain a lot by then."

"Yes, let's go!" Zi Yan nodded excitedly, holding Xiao Ling's hand tightly with her little hand, and said with anticipation on her face.

Xiao Ling smiled faintly and said nothing more. He just tapped the air with his foot and the two figures dissipated like water waves and disappeared from here in an instant.

……

Xiao Ling and Zi Yan were extremely fast and it took them less than a few hours to reach the area where the Wanyao Mountains were located.

Wanyao Mountains, just from the name, you can tell the extraordinary nature of this mountain range.

The energy contained in this mountain range is the most concentrated in this Dan world.

However, the energy is too violent and it is not suitable for human practitioners to practice here for a long time.

Only magical beasts with strong physiques can practice and survive in such an environment.

However, precisely because of the influence of these energies, the sanity of most of the magical beasts in the Wanyao Mountains is often in a very worrying state.

Xiao Ling brought Zi Yan and slowly landed on a mountaintop. He looked up and saw the mountain range winding like a giant dragon, with thick fog filling the air in the middle of the mountain range.

And these mists are not ordinary natural mists, but are condensed from the rich energy.

The terrain of the mountains is dangerous, and there are constant and undulating roars of beasts, and those roars are full of violent aura.

The soul's perception ability slightly explored the mountains and immediately discovered the high-level monsters whose strength should not be underestimated.

From this, it can be clearly seen that although the medicinal materials here are extremely rich, the degree of danger contained therein is far beyond the reach of other areas in the Alchemy Realm.

"Xiao Ling, look over there, there are so many people! Also, the girl named Cao Ying is among that group of people." At this time, Zi Yan beside him seemed to have noticed something, pointed her finger in a certain direction deep in the mountains, and spoke to Xiao Ling.

Hearing this, Xiao Ling also looked in the direction that Zi Yan had pointed earlier.

Through the thick fog formed by the energy of heaven and earth in the mountains, one can vaguely see that on the outskirts of the Wanyao Mountains, on a small hill, there are actually quite a few tents standing, and among them there are also quite a few Taoist figures looming.

Xiao Ling had noticed the whereabouts of this group of people before. After a little thought, he was able to infer that these people should be the girl Cao Ying, who had gathered some contestants to participate in this alchemy meeting.

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Xiao Ling turned his gaze and his eyes stopped on a bluestone in the crowd.

There, Cao Ying, in a black dress, was sitting peacefully, with an enchanting, slender figure. Her delicate hands were gently playing with a strand of black hair. Her lazy expression attracted the fiery glances from those around her.

It has to be said that no matter where this woman goes, she is the kind of person who can bring disaster to the world.

Seeing that Cao Ying was safe and sound, Xiao Ling stopped paying attention. He retracted his gaze from the distance, looked at Zi Yan, and said, "Don't worry about them, we just need to do our own thing."

"Deep in the Wanyao Mountains, I can sense an extremely powerful aura of a demon beast. According to my guess, it should have reached the eighth level. This must be the rumored overlord of the Wanyao Mountains."

"This demon beast has been entrenched in the Wanyao Mountains for many years. It must have collected a lot of rare medicinal herbs. Let's go and meet it."

"Yeah, I can also sense some of that guy's aura. Moreover, in that guy's cave, I also sensed many, many rare medicinal herbs. If we can take all those herbs away, it will be much easier than searching for them in this mountain range." Xiao Ziyan nodded and said with great interest.

Seeing Zi Yan's heartless words, Xiao Ling couldn't help but twitch his lips. He mourned for the ancient dragon bear for three seconds in his heart.

However, if the ancient dragon bear could seize this opportunity and become Zi Yan's younger brother, it would indeed be an opportunity for it.

On the one hand, it can successfully leave this Danjie space with Zi Yan's help. On the other hand, it can also get the opportunity to go to Donglong Island to practice.

From this perspective, compared to its long-term occupation of the Wanyao Mountains in the Dan Realm, its future path as a mountain king will undoubtedly be much brighter.

……

Without further delay, Xiao Ling and Zi Yan immediately flew up. In just a few minutes, they reached the highest peak of the Wanyao Mountain Range.

The two of them landed on the ground and looked around. On the top of the mountain stood a huge stone palace. The stone palace was imposing and gave people a sense of majesty.

At the entrance of the stone palace, there were two ferocious monsters lying prone. Their eyes were fierce and people dared not approach them easily.

When the two fierce beasts saw the unfamiliar faces of Zi Yan and Xiao Ling, they stood up instantly. Their fierce eyes shot straight at the two of them like sharp swords, and low roars and roars resounded in an instant.

Immediately, without giving the two a chance to speak, the two huge monsters, each dozens of feet long, kicked off the ground and pounced towards Xiao Ling and Zi Yan like an arrow.

The surging momentum that spread out seemed to swallow up the two of them in an instant.

In the eyes of the magic beasts in the Dan Realm, all humans who enter the Dan Realm are people who rob them of resources, and they have a natural antagonistic relationship with these local magic beasts. Therefore, once they see humans, they will never show mercy.
