Chapter 516: Ocean of Medicinal Materials

After Xiao Ling implanted his own soul imprint into the bodies of these puppets, these originally cold and lifeless puppets seemed to have established a secret connection with Xiao Ling in an instant, and were completely under Xiao Ling's control from then on.

Now, as long as Xiao Ling has a thought, they can attack or defend according to his will, and move freely, and can be completely controlled by Xiao Ling at will.

After Xiao Ling planted the soul imprint to control these ten puppets, he unexpectedly learned a rather wonderful method of combined attack from them.

This combined attack method is very unique. It can gather all the power contained in these ten puppets, and then concentrate it into one of the puppets.

In this way, the puppet that carries all the power will instantly possess extremely powerful and explosive energy, and its strength will be greatly improved within a short period of time.

Xiao Ling was quite interested in this formation, and he thought to himself that he would try to perform it when he found a suitable opportunity in the future.

After all, he has a large number of Heavenly Demon Puppets in his hands. If he can use this secret method freely, it will definitely play a significant role at the critical moment. It may even serve as one of his trump cards.

"Eh, he was controlled so easily?"

Zi Yan looked at the ten puppets nonchalantly, her tone full of surprise. She curled her lips and continued,

"It seems that the means left by the Dou Sheng master in this Dou Sheng relic are just like this. It was cracked so easily."

"Haha, it's not as simple as you think." Xiao Ling chuckled at Zi Yan and then explained.

"It's just that too much time has passed, causing most of the soul marks in the puppet's body to be erased. In addition, my own soul power is quite strong, which is why I can successfully erase the remaining soul marks, so I can control them so easily."

"Otherwise, based on the strength of these puppets, ordinary people, even those who have just entered the Dou Zun level, are unlikely to gain any advantage under their control."

As soon as the voice fell, with Xiao Ling's mind moving, the ten puppets instantly turned into several streams of light and flew straight in front of Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling gently waved his sleeves and put them into the storage ring one by one. His movements were smooth and seamless.

"Squeak..."

Shortly after Xiao Ling put the ten puppets into the ring, a series of teeth-grinding creaking sounds suddenly came from the originally tightly closed stone door.

Then, the extremely heavy stone door slowly opened a crack.

As the stone door slowly opened, an aura of desolation and antiquity slowly floated out like a veil, lingering around the crowd, as if telling the long-forgotten past.

After noticing the movement coming from the stone gate, everyone stopped talking and turned their eyes in the direction of the opening of the gate, their eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.

"It seems that the real good stuff is in here. Let's go in quickly." Xiao Ling smiled softly, took the first step, and strode towards the gate of the stone hall with an upright posture.

Seeing this, Zi Yan and the other girls behind him looked at each other and hurriedly followed, closely following Xiao Ling's steps.

For a moment, the sound of footsteps continued to echo in the square, and the figures of several people gradually walked away, and finally completely disappeared in the already open door.

After passing through the stone door, a huge palace that looked like a behemoth suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Ling and the others. Standing in this magnificent palace, everyone felt that they were extremely small, like a speck of dust in the world.

Everyone looked around curiously and saw that there were many extremely deep corridors around the hall. Those corridors were deep and long, as if there was no end, and it was impossible to tell where they extended to.

"Young Master, what should we do next?" Seeing this situation, everyone stopped for a moment. Qing Lin blinked his emerald eyes and asked first. There was a hint of confusion and expectation in his words, and he was waiting for Xiao Ling to come up with a decision.

Xiao Ling pondered for a moment, looked around slowly, and then said:
"Let's stay together. After all, this is a relic left by a Dou Sheng master. Who knows what kind of danger may be hidden here. If we stay together, we can take care of each other. Judging from the strength of the puppets in front of the hall, if we really encounter any danger in the future, I'm afraid it will not be easy for us to deal with it."

Although the efficiency of searching for treasures would surely be higher if everyone acted separately, Xiao Ling knew in his heart that his knowledge of the situation in this relic was very limited, and how could the Dou Sheng be a kind-hearted philanthropist? No one could predict how many dangers were hidden in this relic.

For safety reasons, it would be more appropriate for everyone to act together. In this way, even if there is any emergency, Xiao Ling can take action personally to protect the safety of the women.

After hearing Xiao Ling's instructions, everyone nodded in agreement and had no objection to Xiao Ling's arrangements.

And after Xiao Ling's reminder, everyone's previous casual expressions gradually faded away, and were replaced by a more vigilant look.

Previously, they were all thinking about coming here to search for treasures, but as Xiao Ling said, this is a place where opportunities and crises coexist. If one is not careful, the original opportunity may instantly turn into danger and involve everyone.

"In that case, let's go find the medicine garden first, and then search each palace one by one. If you find anything useful to you, just keep it for yourself."

Xiao Ling paused slightly, his eyes fell on Zi Yan, and he said with a smile,

"Zi Yan, try to sense the location of the medicine garden. Those medicinal herbs have gone through countless thousands of years and have survived to this day. I think they will suit your taste."

Even if he put everything else out of his mind, Xiao Ling would never forget that the greatest opportunity in this Fighting Saint ruins was the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit that belonged to Zi Yan.

Once Zi Yan takes the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, she will be able to evolve her bloodline and transform into a true supreme demon beast, the Supreme Dragon Phoenix. Moreover, her cultivation level will be rapidly improved in a short period of time.

It can be said that in Xiao Ling's eyes, even if all other opportunities in this Fighting Saint relic were gathered together, its value could not be compared with the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit that had an extraordinary effect on Zi Yan.

No matter what, in order to avoid any unexpected situation, the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit must be obtained as soon as possible. Only in this way can Xiao Ling be completely relieved. "Hehe, let's find medicinal herbs first, which is exactly what I want!" When Zi Yan heard that there were medicinal herbs with a long history, her big eyes instantly curved into a crescent shape, her face full of joy, she nodded vigorously, and then gently closed her eyes, relying on the unique talent of the Taixu Ancient Dragon, she began to sense the location and approximate type of the treasure.

Soon, Zi Yan slowly opened her eyes, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She excitedly shouted to Xiao Ling, "I've found the location with the most medicinal herbs. Come with me."

As soon as the voice fell, Zi Yan swung her ponytail in a chic manner, and her figure was as fast as lightning, rushing towards a passage first. Xiao Ling and others looked at each other, and then hurriedly followed Zi Yan's figure, and the group quickly ran towards the unknown place.

The passage of the huge palace was extremely wide. Xiao Ling and his companions flew through it as freely as a few light birds.

Along the way, there would occasionally be some attics standing there quietly, but at the moment everyone was focused on finding the medicine garden first, so they didn't bother to pay much attention, and their pace did not slow down at all.

After a moment, Zi Yan stopped first, and Xiao Ling and others instantly looked forward.

There stood a stone door that looked extremely old. On the stone door, there was a lot of moss climbing up. The moss was tinged with a faint green color, as if silently telling the passage of time. At a glance, one could truly feel the traces left by the long time...

"The smell of medicinal herbs is the strongest here. I guess this is where the herbs are stored."

Zi Yan stood steadily, raised her jade hand gently, and pointed at the stone door that exuded an ancient atmosphere. Her words were full of uncontrollable anticipation, and all kinds of rare medicinal herbs seemed to have appeared in her bright eyes.

"Just in case, let the Heavenly Demon Puppet explore the way. The rest of you should hide behind me first."

As Xiao Ling spoke, he took a few steps forward and gently stroked the storage ring with his slender fingers. A flash of light appeared, and a celestial demon puppet emitting a golden color appeared in front of everyone, standing there majestically.

Then, under the control of Xiao Ling's mind, the Heavenly Demon Puppet slowly moved its feet and walked step by step towards the moss-covered stone door in front of everyone.

Then, the Heavenly Demon Puppet stood firmly in front of the stone door. It slowly raised its palms and then pressed them firmly on the ancient stone door. It then began to mobilize its own strength, gradually exerting force with its arms, trying to push the stone door slowly inwards.

The heavy stone door immediately moved under the push of the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

"Boom!"

With a low and dull sound, the heavy stone door covered with moss was slowly and completely pushed open by the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

In an instant, a thick fog that had been hidden for countless years, carrying a strong medicinal aroma, surged out like a tide that broke through a dam. The rich medicinal aroma instantly filled the air around everyone, lifting their spirits.

"Wow, it smells so good! The medicinal herbs here are probably much richer than those cultivated in the medicine garden on Lingyue Peak!"

Zi Yan couldn't help but scream out in surprise. To her, there was probably nothing in the world that could make her happier than these rich medicinal herbs.

As the door was completely opened, the light gradually dissipated, and a vast primeval forest composed entirely of various medicinal herbs was presented to everyone without reservation. The emerald green and colorful scene seemed like a beautiful painting carefully painted by nature, which made people feel shocked at a glance.

What Zi Yan said was indeed true. Although Xiao Ling possessed the Palm of Heaven Bottle, which could ripen elixirs indefinitely, the daily output was always limited.

But the entire space for nurturing medicinal herbs in front of us is different. It has been developing silently for ten thousand years without being disturbed by anyone.

During this long period of time, the variety of extremely rare materials that have been produced are naturally incalculable in quantity. It is probably a collection of countless amazing treasures from heaven and earth.

Seeing such a shocking scene before their eyes, even people like Medusa and Xiao Yixiang, who were usually calm and composed, could not help but show shock on their faces.

"Haha, that's great. It's totally worth coming to the Beast Territory this time!" Zi Yan looked at the dreamlike scene before her, how could she contain the joy in her heart? After cheering, she couldn't wait to run towards the medicinal herb forest behind the gate. Her cheerful figure was like a lively little bird, eager to throw itself into the embrace of this treasure land.

Even though Xiao Ling was prepared in advance, he still couldn't help but be shocked when he witnessed this scene.

After all, this is an entire forest made up of ancient medicinal herbs!

If Danta knew that there was such a magical forest hidden in this ancient ruins, I'm afraid even the old guys in the small Danta would have to come here in person to explore for opportunities.

And at this moment, this extremely precious forest allows them to pick as much as they want without reservation. It is so exciting and thrilling.

"Let's go, let's not just stand here and watch!" Xiao Ling greeted with a smile, then he took a step forward, quickly following Zi Yan, and walked towards the tempting medicinal forest behind the gate.

As soon as she entered the medicinal forest, Zi Yan was as excited as a monkey that had entered a cornfield. In a short while, her arms were already full of medicinal herbs, and she was holding an attractive spiritual fruit in her mouth.

I saw her eyes rolling around, her gaze fixed on the higher-level medicinal herbs. She walked along, picking them up non-stop. All the herbs she picked up were high-level herbs that are rarely seen in normal times.

If these herbs fell into Xiao Ling's hands, they would be more than enough to refine some seventh-grade or even eighth-grade pills. However, since Zi Yan liked it so much, Xiao Ling just let her do it and just watched from the side with a doting smile on his face.

There was no need for Xiao Ling to say anything more, as Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin could not wait to start digging for medicinal herbs.

Even Medusa, who was usually aloof and calm, could not suppress her excitement at this moment. She slowly bent down and personally joined the ranks of picking herbs. (End of this chapter)
