Chapter 573 Yun Yun's Visit

After that grand and warm wedding, life seemed to return to calm and slowly entered a dull period.

Xiao Ling spends every day with his three beloved women, Medusa, Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin, and lives a leisurely and contented life.

In the Xiao family mansion, Xiao Ling's courtyard in the holy city of Jiama, in the silence, Xiao Ling looked focused, the rhythmic spells between his hands kept changing, and streams of fighting spirit flowed out from his fingertips, winding around the medicine cauldron in front of him like flexible silk threads.

The medicine cauldron was placed steadily on the stone platform, and the cauldron exuded an ancient and hot atmosphere.

And in the medicine cauldron, a raging strange fire was burning violently, and the blazing flame seemed to be about to break through the cauldron wall. Red, blue, purple and other colored lights intertwined and flickered, illuminating the entire yard with mottled light and shadow.

As the strange fire jumped, it made a "whoosh" sound, as if responding to the changes in the rhyme formula in Xiao Ling's hand. As his rhyme formula became more exquisite and complex, the strange fire burned more and more violently. The medicinal liquid refined in the cauldron also gradually condensed into shape under the fusion of high temperature and spiritual power, faintly emitting a strange medicinal fragrance, slowly drifting in the surrounding air.

Beside Xiao Ling, Yao Chen stood quietly in a white robe.

He crossed his arms across his chest, looking relaxed and contented, his eyes always fixed on Xiao Ling, who was concentrating on refining the elixir. His eyes were full of satisfaction, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose slightly, revealing a faint smile from the heart that he could not conceal.

What Xiao Ling is refining now is the kind of medicinal liquid that he and Yao Chen have discussed repeatedly in the past few days. Its effect is similar to the golden spirit liquid that Xiao Ling used when he practiced the Great Heaven Creation Palm before. It is a special medicinal liquid specially used for tempering the hands.

Because this medicine has special effects, if one wants to use it to temper one's palms to a strength sufficient to activate heavenly-level fighting skills, then the requirements for its quality are naturally quite extraordinary.

Because of this, the raw materials needed for refining are all extremely rare medicinal materials. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to get them all.

Fortunately, Xiao Ling was wealthy, so the expenses for these medicinal materials were just a drop in the bucket for him and naturally not a problem.

And because of the huge quantity of medicinal materials for Yao Chen and Xiao Ling to research and prepare, the progress of preparing the medicine was very smooth and did not take up too much time and energy.

Of course, collecting medicinal materials is not a difficult task, but refining this medicinal liquid is by no means a simple matter. Many factors are intertwined, making the refining difficulty naturally much higher. And the final grade of this medicinal liquid has reached the level of an eighth-grade elixir.

Fortunately, with Xiao Ling's current strong mental strength and superb and skilled alchemy skills, refining the medicine has become an easy task.

He looked calm and was multitasking as he controlled the refining process in the medicine cauldron and produced a sufficient dose for ten people at one time.

Xiao Ling's approach was also thoughtful. After all, this medicinal liquid was extremely effective and difficult to refine. If he prepared more of it, he would be able to prepare for any emergency in the future. Whether it was needed for his own subsequent cultivation or for someone around him who needed it, it would come in handy in time.

Then this refining process continued for another day. Under Xiao Ling's careful refining, the medicine liquid in the medicine cauldron became closer to perfection.

At this moment, the sky above the Xiao family mansion suddenly changed. The originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. The layers of dark clouds quickly gathered together like a surging wave.

And in the depths of the dark clouds, there were faint flashes of lightning, accompanied by low, dull rumbling sounds, and various colored pill thunders appeared one after another.

Such a sudden movement naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the Holy City of Gama in an instant. Countless people looked up at the sky, all with horror on their faces, shock and confusion in their eyes, and they whispered to each other, guessing what had happened.

However, when they saw that the thunderclouds were gathering in the sky above the Xiao family residence, they suddenly realized something, looked at each other, and nodded.

It's clear without even thinking about it that it must be Master Xiao Ling who is refining the elixir again.

After all, in the Holy City of Gama, the only one who could cause such strange celestial phenomena and repeatedly cause such shocking movements due to alchemy was Master Xiao Ling.

However, just as the thunderclouds in the sky had not yet completely gathered and formed, something strange happened. The thunderclouds that were originally surging and rolling, with various colors of lightning flashing and interweaving, suddenly shook violently as if they were suddenly repelled by some powerful force.

Immediately afterwards, invisible forces swept towards the thunderclouds like a surging wave, instantly breaking up the thunderclouds that were still gathering.

The Dan Lei, which was originally gorgeous and exuded a strong sense of oppression, now seemed like fragile bubbles. After a few "crackling" sounds, it dissipated into nothingness. The dark clouds also quickly retreated, and the sky gradually returned to its former calm, as if the shocking scene just now had never happened.

This sudden change made everyone in the Holy City of Gama look shocked. They looked at each other in confusion, wondering what the reason was that caused the thunderclouds that were about to gather and form to be dispersed like this.

And right below the place where the thunderclouds gathered earlier, Xiao Ling, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the medicine cauldron, slowly stood up. He nodded slightly to Yao Chen beside him, then chuckled and said, "Thank you very much, Yao Lao, for your help. It also saved me some trouble."

Yao Chen just smiled faintly and said indifferently: "Haha, with my current cultivation level, it's just a matter of convenience. Anyway, this quality of Dan Lei will not be of much use to you. If you let it continue to develop and make too much noise, it will inevitably attract attention and cause unnecessary trouble."

Xiao Ling did not say anything more about this. Indeed, the lightning caused by this eighth-grade elixir did not bring much improvement to Xiao Ling, who was already very powerful. He did not need to spend as much effort as before to utilize the energy of the lightning.

Then, Xiao Ling stretched out his hand, and the strange fire that was originally swirling and burning in the medicine cauldron was absorbed into his body.

Then, he waved his hands again, and under the control of his powerful mental power, ten portions of medicinal liquid floated out from the medicine cauldron one after another and hovered steadily in front of Xiao Ling.

The entire medicine liquid was a brilliant golden color, as if it had been coated with a layer of brilliance by the sun, shining brightly. However, within this dazzling golden color, there was a faint purple halo flowing, and it was obvious at a glance that it was an extraordinary substance.

The reason why this medicine has such a unique appearance is that in order to enhance the strength of his palm, Xiao Ling specially asked Zi Yan for some scales of the ancient Taixu dragon as auxiliary materials for the refining of the medicine. You know, the scales of the ancient Taixu dragon are extremely precious to ordinary people.

After all, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan is almost impossible to see in Zhongzhou, and everything related to the Taixu Ancient Dragon is shrouded in mystery. Ordinary people cannot even get a glimpse of it, let alone obtain its scales.

However, for Zi Yan, the princess of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, it was a piece of cake. She had quite a few of them, and after hearing about Xiao Ling's need, she took them out without hesitation and gave them to Xiao Ling to use.

Anyway, scales are plentiful for the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

If Xiao Ling had a sudden whim one day and wanted to use the Dou Sheng-level scales to refine some more powerful treasure, he only needed to ask Miss Zi Yan for a favor. With Zi Yan's straightforward personality, she probably wouldn't mind going to Ancient Dragon Island and trying to pick a few pieces from the two elders who were in seclusion.

Xiao Ling's eyes fell on the refined medicine in front of him. After examining it carefully, he nodded with satisfaction.

After some investigation, Xiao Ling secretly estimated that the effect of this medicine seemed to be even better than the Golden Scale Liquid he had used before.

However, Xiao Ling has always acted cautiously. Even though he was very convinced of the effect of this medicine, he would not rashly give it to Xiao Yixiang and the others.

After all, this medicine is to help them practice the Great Heaven Creation Palm. It is extremely important and cannot be taken lightly.

Therefore, Xiao Ling planned to test the effect of the medicine himself first. Only after he tried it himself and confirmed that it could indeed work normally and there would be no unexpected situations, would he feel at ease to hand the medicine to Xiao Yixiang and the others, so that they could use the effectiveness of the medicine to successfully practice the Great Heaven Creation Palm.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ling skillfully took out ten jade bottles with a warm texture and a soft luster. Then he controlled his mental power to draw the ten portions of medicine liquid one by one and slowly put them into the corresponding jade bottles.

Just as Xiao Ling put the jade bottle away properly, ripples suddenly appeared in the surrounding void, as if a stone was thrown into a calm lake.

Immediately afterwards, a purple figure jumped out from it and came to Xiao Ling's side in the blink of an eye. It was Zi Yan.

As soon as Zi Yan appeared, her lively big eyes blinked, her eyeballs rolled around, and a playful smile instantly appeared on her face.

Then, she took a step forward, put her arm around Xiao Ling, and said in a tender voice:

"Xiao Ling, what good stuff did you just make? I smelled the medicinal fragrance a long time ago. I saw that you had already finished refining it, so I hurried over to join in the fun. Tell me quickly, what good treasure is it?"

Seeing Zi Yan's attitude, Xiao Ling smiled helplessly and dotingly, then stretched out his free hand and gently rubbed Zi Yan's little head, then explained with a smile:
"This is a spiritual liquid specially used to refine the palms, not to be eaten. Don't think about what you can do with it now. I will test the effect myself later. If I am sure it is ok, I will naturally prepare a portion for you. In addition, the scales of the ancient Taixu dragon that I asked you for before are related to the refining of these spiritual liquids."

After saying that, Xiao Ling smiled slightly, then reached out and took out one of the ten bottles of medicine that he had collected earlier, and shook it gently in front of Zi Yan's eyes.

Zi Yan was slightly stunned when she heard Xiao Ling's explanation. Her bright eyes were filled with realization. Then she curled her lips, loosened her arms around Xiao Ling's arm, crossed her arms, and said with regret, "So you asked me for scales to refine this thing. I was wondering what weird things you were going to do with those scales."

As she spoke, she moved closer and stared at the jade bottle containing the spiritual liquid, her eyes showing a bit of curiosity and reluctance, and then she muttered, "Humph, it's a pity that we can't eat it."

"Girl, all you think about all day is eating and sleeping. Besides eating and sleeping, the only thing you think about is how to have fun. You have never tasted any good food, yet you still think about it."

At this time, Yao Chen on the side also spoke with a smile and teasing. His face was full of smiles, with a hint of amusement in his eyes. He put his hands behind his back and walked over slowly.

"Hehe, old man Yao, I'm not just good at eating, I'm very capable, okay?" Zi Yan pouted unconvinced, put her hands on her hips, and said angrily,
"And this is just my training method. I don't eat for free. I eat those natural treasures in order to improve my strength faster. Don't underestimate me. When my strength exceeds yours one day, I'll see if you dare to tease me like this."

After saying that, she raised her chin with a proud look on her face. She looked so cute and arrogant that people couldn't help but laugh.

Yao Chen laughed at Zi Yan's words and said nonchalantly, "Then I'll wait for that day."

When he said this, his face was full of ease and ridicule, and he obviously took Zi Yan's words as a joke.

He is a dignified Douluo Saint, and a three-star Douluo Saint at that. His profound cultivation was achieved through countless hardships and coincidences.

On the other hand, Zi Yan is only at the eighth level of cultivation. Although she has excellent talent, it is simply a fantasy for her to surpass him in a short period of time.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but twitch his lips. Zi Yan has already obtained the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. She only needs to find a suitable opportunity to absorb it. Her strength will surely make a qualitative leap. By then, it is not impossible for her to surpass Yao Chen in cultivation.

However, Xiao Ling had not mentioned this matter to Yao Chen before. After all, Zi Yan's acquisition of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit by chance was quite secret. Xiao Ling thought it would not be too late to tell Yao Chen when Zi Yan was ready to start absorbing it.

If Yao Chen had known about this situation earlier, he would definitely not be so relaxed, joking, and nonchalant at this moment.

At this time, Zi Yan played with Yao Chen for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something. She stopped, looked at Xiao Ling again, blinked her big eyes and said:
"By the way, Xiao Ling, I saw the leader of the Yunlan Sect come to visit you again. But you were refining some medicinal liquid at that time, so you were stopped by the Xiao family. Now, she is still waiting there."

"Yun Yun?" Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Then he said, "Forget it. I have nothing to do. Let's go meet her." (End of this chapter)
