Chapter 63: Refining the Douling Pill

Hearing Jia Xingtian's instructions, Yaoyue nodded and replied, "Don't worry, great grandfather, I will take care of the medicinal materials."

After arranging the preparation of medicinal materials, Jia Xingtian said again: "As for the escort of the Xiao family members, arrange a high-level Dou Ling to lead some soldiers to pick them up at the Xiao family. In the Jia Ma Empire, no one should dare to attack the royal guards."

As if remembering something, he added, "Yue'er doesn't have anything important to do recently, so let her go with the escort team to the Xiao family in Wutan City. This will also show the importance the royal family attaches to this matter and bring the relationship with the Xiao family closer."

After finishing his words, he drank the tea in the cup, and without waiting for Yao Ye's answer, he spread his fighting wings and left.

Looking at the direction where Jia Xingtian left, Yao Ye's eyes were inexplicable. He stopped for a moment, then turned around to arrange the things he was told to do.

……

As Rayquaza flew at a leisurely pace, half a day passed in a flash.

The setting sun slowly sets, illuminating an orange-red sky.

In the distant sky, a slender black figure rushed past, leaving an afterimage in the air.

On top of the dragon head, Xiao Ling was sitting cross-legged, staring intently at the medicine cauldron in front of him.

Inside the medicine cauldron, a young pill with some bumps on its surface was being continuously roasted by the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame.

Under Xiao Ling's exquisite control, the flame warmed the embryonic pill at just the right temperature, and the irregular areas on its surface became more and more rounded.

As time passed, the energy fluctuations emitted by the pill in the medicine cauldron became stronger and stronger. At a certain moment, a pill fragrance diffused out from the medicine cauldron, and at the same time, a wave of energy fluctuations spread out from the pill. However, after being blocked by the medicine cauldron, it was easily dispersed by Xiao Ling.

Zi Yan and Yue Mei, who were sitting behind Xiao Ling, noticed the movement around them and turned their eyes over.

At this time, Xiao Ling was sucking the pill into his palm and looking at it carefully.

After taking a look at the Douling Pill in front of him, Xiao Ling said to himself, "The quality of this pill is quite good. There are no mistakes due to the hasty refining time."

Sensing the gazes of Zi Yan and Yue Mei coming from behind, Xiao Ling turned around and saw Zi Yan wiping the saliva from the corners of her mouth with her palm. Her wide-open eyes seemed to be able to speak, as if saying, "I want it!"

Xiao Ling stepped forward and touched Zi Yan's little head, then said with a smile: "This is not for you to eat. I will make a few more pills for you later."

Hearing that Xiao Ling would make pills for her later, Zi Yan calmed down a little. She took Xiao Ling's hand and shook it, saying, "Then hurry up and make pills for me."

He shook his head and looked in the direction of Yue Mei. Seeing that she was looking at him with expectant eyes, he knew that she couldn't wait to get the pill.

With a wave of his hand, the Douling Pill floated in front of Yue Mei. Holding it in her hand, Yue Mei looked at it curiously.

Based on his perception as a Dou Wang, the quality of this pill is definitely among the best.

At first, I thought the refining time was too short, and I was a little worried that the quality of the pill might be average. I even thought it would fail and waste a batch of medicinal materials.

After seeing this excellent quality pill, all those worries disappeared. He took out a porcelain bottle, put the pill into it, and put it into the ring.

Yue Mei said in amazement: "Master Xiao Ling's alchemy is truly extraordinary. He can refine a fifth-grade elixir that would take ordinary people many days to refine in just half a day, and the quality is so excellent. Such skills are truly admirable."

Facing Yue Mei's praise, Xiao Ling waved his hand and replied: "Practice makes perfect. Without the guidance of my elders, I would not be able to reach this point."

Taking the map out of the ring, Xiao Ling lowered his head and looked at it for a while. He pointed his right hand at the location marked by the Mei Snake Tribe and said to Yue Mei beside him: "Commander Yue Mei, we are about to reach your Mei Snake Tribe. Let's say goodbye now."

Yue Mei nodded and looked forward. With her Dou Wang flying speed, it would only take about ten minutes to reach the Mei Snake Tribe.

Before leaving, Yue Mei blinked her charming eyes and smiled at Xiao Ling: "Master Xiao Ling, next time you come to the Mei Snake Tribe, I will personally entertain you."

After leaving these words, Yue Mei spread her fighting spirit wings and flew towards the Mei Snake Tribe.

After seeing Yue Mei had left for a distance, Xiao Ling stood on the top of the Split Sky Seat, pointed in the direction of the map shop in Haibodong, and said, "Akong, fly in that direction with all your strength."

After hearing Xiao Ling's order, Rayquaza raised its head, let out a long roar, and floated slowly for a long time. Finally, it could speed up and sprint. It twisted its body, and its speed suddenly increased. After a while, it disappeared into the sky!
……

Wu Tan City, Xiao Family.

On the bed, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his hands making strange hand seals in front of him. His chest rose and fell slightly, and a perfect cycle formed with each breath. During the circulation of breath, a faint white airflow flowed through his mouth and nose, penetrated into his body, and warmed his bones and flesh.

When the young man closed his eyes to practice, the black ancient ring on his finger suddenly lit up with an extremely faint and strange light, which disappeared in the blink of an eye without attracting anyone's attention...

"Hu..." Xiao Yan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and suddenly opened his eyes. A faint white light flashed in his dark eyes. It was the fighting spirit that had just been absorbed but not completely refined.

"The fighting spirit that I cultivated with great difficulty is disappearing again... I, damn it!" After carefully sensing his body, Xiao Yan's face suddenly became angry and he cursed in a sharp voice.

Two and a half years have passed since Xiao Yan's Dou Qi disappeared for no reason for the first time. During this period, Xiao Yan was ridiculed in the Xiao family, and those who flattered him in the past have now disappeared.

After Xiao Yan's cultivation level regressed, Xiao Zhan spent a lot of family resources in order to restore Xiao Yan's talent for cultivation. He also used a pill recipe that Xiao Ling sent back from Canaan College and invited Mitchell, the vice president of the Gama Empire Alchemist Union, to examine Xiao Yan.

However, no matter how many resources Xiao Yan used, his cultivation talent could not be restored. The doctors and alchemists who examined Xiao Yan's physical condition found that there was no problem.

Because Xiao Yan wasted a lot of Xiao family's resources and still couldn't recover his cultivation, some people blamed Xiao Zhan and his son for this matter.

It would be fine if the talents were restored and the resources were used, but after spending so much money and not finding any problems at all, who wouldn't be dissatisfied?

Half a year later, it would be time for the younger generation of the family to take the test. If I were still at the third stage of fighting spirit by then, I would definitely be laughed at by those members of the family.

He clenched his fists tightly together. After a while, Xiao Yan shook his head with a wry smile, climbed down from the bed exhausted, and stretched his numb ankles and thighs. With only the third level of fighting spirit, he was unable to ignore all kinds of fatigue.
