Chapter 470 The Growth of Little Doctor

At the moment when Xiao Ling's eighth-grade nine-colored pill thunder shocked the world, the old man Qinghua not far away also completed his alchemy, and the grade of the pill reached the eighth grade, and it also attracted three-colored thunderclouds.

Under normal circumstances, such elixirs are undoubtedly rare and eye-catching treasures, and their value is enough to attract many people.

However, under the shining light of Xiao Ling's dazzling eighth-grade nine-color elixir, the old man Qinghua's three-color eighth-grade elixir seemed to have become a little dim.

The old man from Qinghua looked up at the three-colored thunder above him, then turned to look at the nine-colored thunder that covered the sky above Xiao Ling's head.

A bitter smile appeared on his face, which was covered with traces of time. Endless emotion seemed to flow between the deep wrinkles.

The figure, which was already somewhat aged, seemed even more hunched at this moment, as if under the brilliant illumination of the Nine-Colored Pill Thunder, his energy and spirit had been invisibly weakened. A sense of loneliness and helplessness permeated the air.

Xiao Ling withdrew his attention from the exclamations and discussions around him. His gaze penetrated the crowd and looked straight at the nine-colored thunder that was gradually gathering in the sky. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident and calm smile.

He gently reached out his hand and rubbed the little mink's head tenderly.
Xiao Ling's laughter echoed in the air, filling his chest, sounding particularly hearty: "A Diao, look, I've finally done what I promised you. Tell me, am I a very reliable big brother?"

The little mink seemed extremely excited at this moment. Its small body almost jumped up, and its two front paws were waving in the air, as if expressing its inner ecstasy.

Its voice was full of excitement, almost screaming: "You are so competent! Xiao Ling, you are my real big brother! From now on, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west. I will do whatever you tell me to do. I will listen to you in everything."

"Haha, your words make me feel that refining this pill is worth it."

Xiao Ling's laughter echoed in the air, revealing a sense of ease and satisfaction.

He raised his finger and gently pointed at the nine-colored pill thunder that was ready to be launched in the sky, with a hint of anticipation in his smile.
"Look, the pill thunder is about to come. You have witnessed the power of the nine-colored pill thunder before. After the consumption of the previous pill refining, my energy is limited. Therefore, the responsibility of resisting the nine-colored pill thunder can only be borne by you personally."

"Don't worry, the formation I set up earlier will definitely be able to deal with this nine-colored pill thunder with ease. This is a critical moment that determines whether Master Diao can be resurrected. How can I let any accidents happen?"

The little mink smiled softly, his tone full of unquestionable confidence. A hint of determination flashed in his eyes, as if he had seen the dawn of success.

This elixir is not only its hope for rebirth, but also the result of Xiao Ling's hard work during this period.

In any case, at such a crucial moment, it would never allow the pill that was about to take shape to be destroyed by the bombardment of pill thunder.

……

Just as Xiao Ling was talking to Xiao Diao, the nine-colored thunderclouds above the sky gradually condensed into a huge energy vortex like iron filings attracted by a magnet.

Cao Ying, Dan Chen, and even the eighth-grade Dan Lei triggered by the old man Qinghua, were all merged into it under the powerful suction of the nine-colored Dan Lei.

Those originally independent pill thunders seemed to have found a home. The huge energy contained in them was absorbed one by one, making the power of the nine-colored pill thunder even more terrifying and unpredictable in the process.

The scene in the sky was extremely spectacular, with nine-colored thunderclouds rolling and interweaving like a living painting, and every flash of lightning was heart-stirring.

Those eighth-grade Danlei that were absorbed into the Nine-Colored Danlei were like small rivers flowing into the sea, disappearing into the boundless vastness.

And in the center of the Nine-Colored Pill Thunder, it seemed as if a devastating storm was brewing, ready to erupt at any time.

As time slowly passed, the nine-colored thunder continued to condense in the sky, and its shape became clearer and clearer, like a series of intertwined lightning dragons, baring their fangs and claws, wanting to tear the sky and the earth apart.

Each bolt of lightning contained the power of destruction. They shuttled through the clouds, making a deafening roar. The sound was like the roar of an ancient beast, making people uneasy.

In the center of the thundercloud, a destructive aura quietly spread out, just like the anger of this world. The oppressive feeling rushed over everyone's head, making people shudder.

The originally bustling square gradually became quieter. Everyone stared at the nine-colored lightning in the sky, and they all felt a little nervous and worried.

Everyone's heartbeat quickened and they held their breath in anticipation. They knew clearly in their minds how precious this eighth-grade, nine-colored elixir was. Even for those strong men at the semi-saint level, it was an extremely tempting existence.

However, the degree of danger of the nine-colored pill thunder caused by the refining process is also proportional to the value of the pill. It is a kind of power of heaven and earth that is terrifying enough to intimidate people.

In the face of this force, even a Dou Zun powerhouse at the peak of his powers would have to use all his strength to contend with it. Any slight mistake would lead to him being unable to cope with it.

Although Xiao Ling is a true Dou Zun warrior, facing the rare nine-colored Dan Lei in this world, can he really resist its terrifying power?
This question stirred up waves in everyone's hearts. Their eyes were filled with expectations for Xiao Ling and deep fear of the shocking pill thunder.

At this moment, the entire square was shrouded in a heavy and tense atmosphere. The atmosphere was so tense that even the sound of breathing seemed redundant. The air seemed to solidify at this moment, waiting for the upcoming judgment of fate.

Even Xuan Kongzi and the other two on the high platform couldn't help but have subtle changes in their expressions at this moment. Their expressions fluctuated between cloudy and bright, revealing their inner fluctuations and uneasiness.

A trace of worry flashed in Xuan Yi's eyes, and her magnetic voice revealed her inner anxiety: "Xuan Kongzi, the power of this eighth-grade nine-color pill thunder is extraordinary. Although Xiao Ling has reached the Dou Zun realm, with his current ability, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to resist this terrifying pill thunder."

"If I just watch helplessly as such a high-quality eighth-grade nine-color elixir is destroyed by the ravages of the elixir thunder, I really can't suppress the impulse in my heart. Xuankongzi, if I intervene directly and lend a hand to that little guy, you should not stop me because of the rules of the Dan Tower, right?"

Tian Lei Zi's face was as heavy as leaden clouds, his tone was low and powerful, and every word revealed his inner determination and unquestionableness.

Hearing this, Xuan Kongzi frowned slightly, and showed hesitation. The rules of Danta are like iron laws, which cannot be easily violated.

According to tradition, during alchemy competitions, outsiders are not allowed to interfere without authorization. This is to maintain the fairness and justice of alchemy, and has been Danta's firm belief for many years.

However, seeing that this eighth-grade nine-colored elixir was about to be destroyed by the ravages of the elixir thunder, the regret of losing the treasure was unbearable.

Xuan Kongzi understood clearly that Tian Lei Zi and Xuan Yi were anxious and concerned at the moment. He himself was also full of expectations, hoping that this pill could survive the disaster safely, be successfully released to the market, and demonstrate its supreme value.

After a period of silent thinking, Xuan Kongzi's eyes gradually focused, and he seemed to have made a decision in his heart. His voice was steady and firm, breaking the silence on the field.

"Tian Lei Zi, Xuan Yi, you don't have to be too anxious. The rules of Danta are important and cannot be violated at will, but the rules are dead and people are alive. This eighth-grade nine-color elixir in front of me is extraordinary, and I can't bear to see it destroyed."

"If it really comes to a critical moment, I will intervene personally. Before that, the two of you don't need to take action. If any criticism arises from this, I will bear it alone."

Tianleizi and Xuanyi were about to respond, but Xuankongzi waved his hand gently, stopping them from speaking.

His expression changed from serious to slightly relaxed, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his tone revealed a sense of ease and confidence.

"Don't worry. Xiao Ling is an outstanding talent that even the seniors of Xiaodan Tower have high hopes for. Even if I break the rules, they won't blame me."

"My move will not cause any accidents. On the contrary, it may deepen the relationship between Xiao Ling and him and make him feel closer to our Danta."

"As for the minor criticisms from the outside world, they are nothing but insignificant dust in comparison and are not worth our attention."

After Xuan Kongzi's logically rigorous and well-organized explanation, Xuan Yi and Tian Lei Zi looked at each other, and relief was revealed in each other's eyes.

Then, they all nodded at the same time, and the worries in their hearts seemed to dissipate. They said no more, and their silence contained their approval of Xuan Kongzi's point of view.

"Tsk tsk, it seems that Danta really thinks highly of Xiao Ling." In the void, Yao Chen looked at the scene below and listened to the conversation between the three presidents of Danta who were concerned about Xiao Ling. He couldn't help but smile.
He muttered to himself, "I originally thought that I would need to come forward and say a few words, but now it seems that there is no need. These old friends of mine are actually quite reliable."

Next to Yao Chen, Xiao Yixian, who was wearing a pale white dress, fluttered in the breeze like a blooming lily. She frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Old Yao, from what you said, do you want Xiao Ling to join Danta? What is the situation of the Little Danta that the three presidents mentioned earlier?"

At this time, Xiao Yixian successfully inherited the legacy of the previous generation of the owner of the evil poison body, and mastered the poison seal method. In her body, the once terrifying toxins have now been completely controlled.

For example, before, her hair turned completely white due to the invasion of toxins. Now, Xiao Yixian, with her perfect control over the toxins in her body, can easily restore her hair color to the color when she first met Xiao Ling.

Naturally, she knew Xiao Ling's preferences very well.

So even though she had the ability to restore her hair to its original color, she still chose to keep the gray hair.

In addition to the precise control of the toxins in her body, Xiao Yixiang's cultivation has also made a significant leap. She has now broken through the Nine-Star Dou Zun and reached a key threshold of cultivation, the compression of Dou Qi.

As long as Xiao Yixiang completely tames the Dou Qi that has grown rapidly over the years due to swallowing poison, she will be able to cross this threshold, compress her Dou Qi independently, and step into the realm of peak Dou Zun.

For the vast majority of practitioners, compressing Dou Qi is a difficult task that is time-consuming, laborious, and requires careful polishing.

But for the little medical fairy who possesses a poisonous body, this process seems relatively easy.

As long as there is an adequate supply of the poison, for her, this is just a small challenge on the path of cultivation, and is far from being an insurmountable obstacle in the eyes of others.

As for why Xiao Yixian and Yao Chen are in Shengdan City at this moment, the reason is naturally to witness this grand alchemy meeting in which Xiao Ling participates.

After all, for Xiao Ling, such a grand event might only happen once in his lifetime.

As Xiao Ling's closest friends, they would naturally not miss such a rare opportunity if conditions permit.

It was not long ago that Xiao Yixiang received the inheritance from the remains of the previous generation owner of the poisonous body and ended her retreat.

After Xiao Yixiang came out of seclusion, she immediately went to the nearest city to inquire about the news.

Upon learning that the alchemy conference had already entered its second half, Xiao Yixiang felt a little nervous, fearing that she would miss it.

Time was running out, so she did not choose to travel on her own. Instead, she directly crushed the space jade slip left for her by Yao Chen and asked Yao Chen for help.

Although Yao Chen had not said much verbally before, and before the Alchemy Conference began, he directly asked Xiao Ling to go to Shengdan City alone to participate in this grand Alchemy Conference.

However, this does not mean that he is indifferent to Xiao Ling's performance. On the contrary, he has his own plans in mind.

Naturally, he also hoped to witness with his own eyes how Xiao Ling, the disciple who inherited his alchemy skills, would demonstrate his alchemy skills at the alchemy conference and stand out.

Just as Yao Chen was about to leave, he sensed something unusual happening with Little Medical Immortal, so he decided to take Little Medical Immortal with him to Shengdan City.

With Yao Chen, a powerful Dou Sheng, leading the way personally, there was no reason for them to be too late. When the curtain was raised on the last round of alchemy competition at the Danhui, the two arrived at their destination in time.

In this way, not only did they not miss Xiao Ling's outstanding performance in the final round of the competition, but they were able to be there in person and witness Xiao Ling's most exciting moment.

"Haha, Danta's heritage is much deeper than you think." Yao Chen smiled softly, and his tone unconsciously revealed a little nostalgia. "Although I have now reached the realm of three-star Dousheng, and Xingyun Pavilion has also absorbed many masters, we are still slightly inferior to Danta."

He paused, his eyes seemed to penetrate the long river of time, and then Yao Chen began to tell Xiao Yixiang all the secrets of Danta.

He talked about the general situation of Xiao Danta and some of the hidden cards Danta had.

He shared everything he could without reservation, allowing Xiao Yixian to gain a deeper understanding of Danta's power and mystery.

At that time, Yao Chen was already a disciple of Danta. During his time at Danta, he devoted himself to learning the art of alchemy and met an important figure there who influenced his life.

If it weren't for the accident decades ago, he might have already become a respected elder in Xiaodan Tower.

Whenever Yao Chen recalled the past, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. The world is unpredictable and the trajectory of life is hard to predict.

With a light laugh, Yao Chen shook his head slightly, his movements showing a carefree attitude that came from having experienced many vicissitudes of life.

Then, he slowly extended his finger and pointed in the direction of Xun'er and the others, with a teasing look on his face. He smiled lightly and said jokingly,

"Forget it, Xian'er, let's not talk about those old things. Why don't you go meet your old friends? In my opinion, those girls have a special relationship with Xiao Ling."

"Qinglin often mentions you to me. If she sees Sister Xian'er whom she thinks about day and night, she will surely be overjoyed."

How could the Little Medical Fairy not understand the joking meaning hidden in Yao Chen's tone as she listened to his words?
Although Yao Chen is a respected senior in their hearts, he has a calm personality and is reliable, and is respected by everyone.

However, he would occasionally show a kind of "disrespectful for the elderly" playfulness, making a few jokes from time to time, or occasionally doing some actions that were not quite consistent with his status, which made people feel a sense of closeness and interest in addition to respect.

Such behavior makes the relationship between everyone and Yao Chen far from the serious and rigid relationship between traditional younger and older generations, but instead incorporates a bit of warm human touch.

However, when the ridicule is directed at oneself, the feeling is no longer lighthearted and joyful, but rather carries with it a certain indescribable helplessness.

Little Medical Fairy had naturally long been aware of the situation with Xun'er and the others. However, for some reason, she felt inexplicably embarrassed at the moment.

Although these people were old acquaintances of hers, for some inexplicable reasons, she was hesitant for a moment about whether to meet them.

Gazing at Xun'er's chiseled profile, Little Medical Fairy couldn't help but feel a surge of inferiority in her heart.

She sighed softly, and that sigh was like fallen leaves in autumn, silently falling on the silent lake.

Then, her gaze slowly moved away and fell on the stone platform again. There, Xiao Ling was facing the raging Dan Lei without fear, with a face full of high spirits.

Little Medical Fairy's eyes unconsciously revealed the love that came from the bottom of her heart, but there was also a hint of resentment, as if she was silently telling of the complex emotions in her heart.

"Xiao Ling does seem a little too greedy at times. However, it is undeniable that his feelings for you are genuine, and this sincerity cannot be faked no matter what."

Yao Chen gently patted Xiao Yixian's shoulder, with a gentle smile on his face, and slowly spoke:
"I have watched you grow up and witnessed every bit of your relationship. I do not intend to interfere too much in the dispute between you."

"But I sincerely hope that you can reach an ending that satisfies both of you. Don't be like me back then. I missed out on so much and lost so much. Even now, I still regret the decision I made back then."

The corners of Little Medical Fairy's lips slightly lifted up, revealing a faint smile, and her tone revealed a bit of ease and comfort: "Master Yao, I understand what you said. Having met him in this life, I have completely fallen into his hands. But if he wants to continue such a good thing, he must show enough strength, otherwise, I will never be soft-hearted and will definitely let him deeply experience the spur of love."

"It's relatively easy for me to deal with him here, but if he doesn't show his true strength, facing the test of Miss Xun'er, it will be even more difficult for him to easily win her approval."

"Haha, an old man like me won't be able to interfere too much in the troubles of you young people." Yao Chen laughed loudly, "But when you teach him a lesson, remember to show mercy and don't let that kid get too seriously hurt. With your current strength, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold out for even a few rounds in front of you..." (End of this chapter)
