Chapter 195 Obtaining the fragments

At the same time, Xiao Ling had already led his companions into the guild hall.

This place is in sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle of the outside world. The air is filled with the aroma of medicinal herbs and the smell of books, making it appear peaceful and solemn.

Beside the hall, tall bookshelves are arranged in an orderly manner, filled with various precious medicine refining classics and manuscripts. On the walls are exquisite diagrams of medicinal materials and pictures of medicine refining tools. Every detail reveals the art of medicine refining. Deep foundation.

Xiao Ling and his companions walked slowly through the bookshelves, their eyes lingering on the ancient books and maps, as if they were looking for something.

The little medical fairy's fingers gently slid across the spine of the book, Qing Lin showed a keen interest in the medicine refining tools, and Zi Yan curiously observed everything around her and asked questions from time to time.

Xiao Ling wore a calm smile. His eyes swept over these classics and found that the bookshelf contained some basic knowledge about pharmacology.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the tranquility of the hall, and an old man in luxurious robes walked quickly, accompanied by several attendants.

His eyes were full of expectation and joy. He was the president of the Alchemist Guild, Fa Ma.

The wrinkles on President Fa Ma's face were deepened by his warm smile. He walked quickly and greeted Xiao Ling warmly, with a hint of kindness and surprise in his voice: "Master Xiao Ling, why don't you come to the Alchemist Guild?" We should have been informed in advance so that we could be prepared to come here in a hurry, but it would be disrespectful for us to do so.”

Xiao Ling waved her hand gently, with an imperceptible smile, and replied: "President, there is no need to be polite. I just returned to the imperial capital and wanted to stroll around and feel the excitement of the city. Unexpectedly, I came here. here."

After hearing this, President Fa Ma immediately started chatting with Xiao Ling: "Haha, Master Xiao Ling, during your absence, many young alchemists in the Jia Ma Empire also showed amazing talents..."

During the chat between the two, President Fa Ma lost no time in sending an invitation: "Master Xiao Ling, it is inconvenient to be in this hall, please come with me, and we will go to the living room to discuss in detail."

Xiao Ling nodded and did not refuse the proposal. This visit was not just for shopping.

Immediately, Xiao Ling turned to the Little Medical Fairy, Qing Lin and Zi Yan and said, "I will discuss some matters with President Fa Ma first. You can roam freely in the imperial capital, or you can go back to Xiao's house to rest first."

After Xiao Ling finished speaking, he handed over the two Na rings containing the soul bodies of Lord Tianhuo and Yao Chen to Qing Lin for safekeeping.

While Xiao Ling was communicating with his companions, President Fa Ma was silently observing, his eyes gradually showing surprise.

Although the three girls around Xiao Ling are not well-known to the outside world, they have also collected some information among the high-level forces of the Gama Empire.

As the president of the Alchemist Guild, Fa Mam naturally has very keen soul perception. In addition, he has reached the peak of Douhuang's cultivation. Although he cannot easily detect the specific cultivation of the three people, he can still distinguish the general level of strength.

Zi Yan, this girl with purple hair and eyes of the same color, always gives people a mysterious yet playful feeling.

Her talent is already extraordinary, and with the fact that she was already a strong person at the peak of Dou Wang before, her cultivation to the level of Dou Wang is amazing, but it is also reasonable.

In contrast, the progress of Little Medical Fairy and Qinglin made President Fa Ma feel incredible.

The Little Medical Fairy and Qing Lin had also come to the Alchemist Guild before, and because they were with Xiao Ling, Fa Ma had paid a little attention to them. At that time, their strength was no more than a fighter or a fighter.

Time flies, and two years pass by in a blink of an eye, but in these short years, the two people's realms have experienced earth-shaking transformations.

The little medical fairy's strength was like emerging from a cocoon and turning into a butterfly, astonishingly rising to the realm of fighting emperors.

For most people, such a speed of promotion is nothing short of a fantasy, almost an unattainable miracle.

Not to mention seeing it before, Fa Ma had never even heard of it. Even if Xiao Ling was compared to him back then, his talent in cultivation was far inferior.

Qinglin's improvement is equally impressive. Although she did not directly jump to the realm of Dou Wang like the Little Medical Fairy, her achievements as a powerful Dou Wang were equally extraordinary.

Looking at her childish face, she can reach the realm of Dou Wang at only fourteen or fifteen years old. Compared with Xiao Ling at the same age, her cultivation talent can be said to be no less than that of Xiao Ling, even because of her cultivation time. Shorter, even better.

President Fa Ma thought secretly in his heart, Xiao Ling himself is extremely talented, and his talent in refining medicine and cultivation is far beyond ordinary people, and the talents of his companions are also so amazing, this is really unbelievable .

However, when President Fa Ma concentrated his mind and tried to explore Xiao Ling's cultivation through his soul perception, he unexpectedly found that he could not see through the young man in front of him at all.

This made him feel unbelievable and suspicious. With his cultivation at the peak of Douhuang, he should be able to vaguely sense some signs even for powerful people in higher realms.

President Fa Ma's heart was filled with waves: "What's going on? Is there something wrong with my perception? Or is it that Xiao Ling's cultivation has reached a level that is beyond my reach?"

An idea that even he found ridiculous flashed through his mind. Xiao Ling might have broken through from Dou Huang to Dou Zong in just two years.

But soon, he drove this thought out of his mind. Dou Zong, what a high realm, how could it be reached in such a short time?

Fa Ma adjusted his thoughts and thought to himself: "Master Xiao Ling's soul power must be extremely powerful, far beyond mine, so I can't sense it. Yes, it must be like this."

At this time, Xiao Ling also finished explaining to Xiao Yixian and others, and turned his gaze to look at President Fa Ma. There was a hint of indifference in his eyes, as if he had already seen through President Fa Ma's previous hidden exploration.

Xiao Ling noticed Fa Ma's temptation from the beginning, but he did not show any dissatisfaction or vigilance, but seemed quite calm.

Xiao Ling chuckled and broke the brief silence, saying calmly, "Let's go, President Fa Ma, let's go to the reception room to continue our topic."

Fa Ma came back to his senses from his thoughts, he nodded, and a smile of embarrassment and admiration appeared on his face, "Haha, Master Xiao Ling, please follow me." He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, leading Xiao Ling to the reception room.

As the two walked, they passed through several corridors decorated with exquisite murals, and finally came to a spacious and bright reception room.

The decoration here is more exquisite, and every piece of furniture reveals classicism and elegance. The paintings and sculptures hanging on the wall are all from famous artists, showing the profound heritage of the Alchemist Guild.

At a conference table carved from fine sandalwood, Fa Ma invited Xiao Ling to sit down. Fresh fruits and exquisite snacks, as well as two cups of fragrant tea, were already placed on the table, which was obviously carefully prepared to welcome Xiao Ling.

The two sat down in the reception room. The quiet and exquisite surroundings added a solemnity to their conversation.

Xiao Ling was the first to break the silence. His voice was calm and full of expectation: "President Fa Ma, do you remember what I asked the Alchemist Guild to help me find before?"

Fa Ma originally wanted to discuss some alchemy skills with Xiao Ling. Hearing Xiao Ling's question, he was slightly stunned, but soon came back to his senses, and quickly recalled what Xiao Ling was referring to in his mind, "Haha, of course I remember. Master Xiao Ling, wait a moment, I'll get it now."

Two years ago, Xiao Ling had not left the Jia Ma Empire at that time, and he had commissioned the Alchemist Guild to find a special porcelain piece.

Although Fa Ma didn't know much about Xiao Ling's intention, since it was Xiao Ling's commission, he immediately ordered his men to carefully collect those seemingly old porcelain pieces.

Fa Ma then whispered a few words to the maid who was waiting on the side.

Not long after, Mitchell, the vice president of the Alchemist Guild, walked into the reception room and bowed respectfully to Xiao Ling and Fa Ma, "Master Xiao Ling, President Fa Ma."

President Fa Ma smiled and said, "Mitchell, are the items that Master Xiao Ling entrusted us to collect ready? Now is the time."

Hearing this, Vice President Mitchell nodded seriously, "I will naturally do my best for Master Xiao Ling's commission."

As he spoke, he took out a storage ring from his arms and gently placed it on the conference table, "This storage ring contains a porcelain piece that meets the characteristics described by Master Xiao Ling. According to the investigation of the president and I, one of the porcelain pieces seems to record a mysterious fighting skill. Master Xiao Ling, please take a look and see if there is a treasure you need."

Xiao Ling praised Vice President Mitchell's efficiency and thoughtfulness, and said with a smile: "Vice President Mitchell, thank you very much, I will definitely repay you later."

Then, he waved his fingers lightly, and the storage ring fell lightly into his palm. Xiao Ling's soul power was like a gentle breeze, reaching into the ring, gently taking out all the porcelain pieces and piling them on the ground.

The porcelain pieces were piled up to more than one meter high, which not only showed the importance of the Alchemist Guild to Xiao Ling's commission, but also reflected their respect for Xiao Ling.

Witnessing this scene, Xiao Ling nodded slightly, and his favorability towards the Alchemist Guild in his heart could not help but quietly improve.

Xiao Ling first attracted the porcelain piece that recorded the Xuan-level fighting skills to his hand and carefully examined it.

It recorded a Xuan-level low-level fighting skill called Thunder Fist. Xiao Ling's eyes only lightly passed over it, and he had already seen through its essence, and then put the porcelain piece aside and no longer paid more attention to it.

Then, he released his soul perception and began to carefully explore the pile of porcelain pieces.

Now Xiao Ling's soul power has reached the middle stage of the spiritual realm. In addition, he has practiced the "Da Yan Jue", and now he can do a hundred things with one mind, and the efficiency of exploration is extremely amazing.

His eyes slowly moved over the pieces of porcelain, like the brightest star in the night sky, and finally fixed on an inconspicuous black broken jade piece in the corner.

This piece of jade was the real goal of Xiao Ling's trip.

Xiao Ling casually held the jade piece in his hand. Its surface was not smooth, but covered with tiny particles, giving people a rough feeling.

There were also tiny cracks on the jade piece, and the gaps were stained with sand, which looked a little old.

However, when Xiao Ling stared at the broken jade piece in his hand, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and he whispered to himself in his heart: "The first change of the three mysterious changes of the sky fire is finally in hand."

When Fa Ma and Vice President Mitchell saw Xiao Ling's satisfied expression, they knew in their hearts that Xiao Ling had found what he needed.

Fa Ma smiled and said: "Haha, Master Xiao Ling, is this what you are looking for? Congratulations to Master Xiao Ling for your harvest."

Xiao Ling smiled slightly, put the jade piece recording the first change of the Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire into his arms, and smiled at Fa Ma: "Indeed, I have found what I need. This time it was so smooth, thanks to the help of the Alchemist Guild."

Fa Ma waved his hand and said modestly: "No, no, Master Xiao Ling, you are the honorary elder of the guild, and finding something is just a piece of cake. It is our honor for our Alchemist Guild to serve you."

Vice President Mitchell also echoed: "Yes, Master Xiao Ling, your needs are naturally for us to do our best to complete."

Xiao Ling smiled slightly. He had insight into people's hearts and naturally understood the intention of the two presidents to win over, but he did not show any displeasure about this.

Afterwards, Xiao Ling waved his hand lightly, took out an ancient prescription from the ring, and handed it to President Fa Ma.

"This is my gift. Just treat it as the reward for this commission. President Fa Ma, please don't refuse it."

The prescription records a fifth-grade Lingqiao Yunhun Pill.

Its refining requires the collection of the essence of the soul flower stamens, the aura of the purple soul leaves, the dream power of the dream crystal marrow, and the pure medicinal power of the ethereal roots. All four main medicines are rare among the fifth-grade medicinal materials.

This pill can gradually improve the soul potential if taken for a long time, but because the required medicinal materials are relatively rare and the effect is not significant, it needs to be taken for a long time to show a more obvious effect. Therefore, for Xiao Ling, it is not so precious. The soul power improved by taking the pill is not as easy as practicing soul skills.

At the moment when Xiao Ling handed the recipe of the fifth-grade Lingqiao Yunhun Pill to President Fa Ma, Fa Ma hesitated in his heart. He originally did not intend to accept any revenge from Xiao Ling, but the temptation of this pill was too great for him, and he did not want to miss it.

Fa Ma took the prescription, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He knew that the value of this recipe was immeasurable. Although the resources spent were very huge, there was a chance to help him break through the threshold of the sixth-grade alchemist. Even if the chance was very slim, he planned to collect medicinal materials with all his strength and strive to refine more of this kind of medicine.

With a flash of white light in his hand, he put the prescription into the ring. Fa Ma took a deep breath and said to Xiao Ling with a smile: "Haha, thank you Master Xiao Ling, this prescription is of great help to me, so I accepted it shamelessly."

Xiao Ling smiled lightly, revealing a calm and generous tone: "You're welcome, President Fa Ma, this is what I should do. The value of that porcelain piece to me is equally important, and we are taking what we need."

Xiao Ling gave this recipe to Fa Ma, not only because the porcelain piece recording the first change of the three mysterious changes of the sky fire was of extraordinary value to him, but also because after he left the Jia Ma Empire, the Xiao family received a lot of help and support from the Alchemist Guild in the Jia Ma Holy City.

As the president of the guild, Fa Ma has always been very friendly to Xiao Ling and has taken good care of the development of the Xiao family in the imperial capital. This recipe is also a way for Xiao Ling to repay this favor.

After a friendly exchange, the atmosphere in the reception room became more harmonious.

In such an atmosphere, Xiao Ling, Fa Ma and Mitchell began to discuss their experience in alchemy.

Most of the time, it was Fa Ma and Mitchell who were humbly asking for advice. The questions he raised involved all aspects of alchemy, from the selection of medicinal materials to the techniques of refining, and every detail was not missed.

Xiao Ling was particularly happy because he got what he wanted. He shared his knowledge and experience without reservation for the advice of Vice Presidents Fa Ma and Mitchell.

His answers were not only detailed, but also easy to understand, making even the complex principles of alchemy easy to understand.

The many confusions about alchemy in the hearts of the two people were like clouds and mists dissipated, and suddenly became clear.

During the in-depth discussion with Xiao Ling, Fa Ma could not help but find that even Xiao Ling, who was already amazing two years ago, has now reached a new height in his attainments in alchemy.

His unique insights, mastery and innovation of alchemy skills all show extraordinary talent and deep understanding.

During the communication with Xiao Ling, Fa Ma couldn't help but whisper to himself: "Master Xiao Ling is indeed worthy of his reputation. His talent in alchemy is amazing. I believe that after more than ten years of precipitation, he will surely become the first seventh-grade alchemist in the history of the Jia Ma Empire."

As the discussion was getting better, Fa Ma took the opportunity to make an invitation: "Master Xiao Ling, I wonder if you can attend the Alchemist Conference in a month as a judge? As far as I know, Xiao Yan, the third young master of the Xiao family, will also attend this conference. I believe your participation will add a lot of color to this Alchemist Conference."

Xiao Ling heard Fa Ma's invitation and did not directly refuse, but replied in a calm tone: "If then I will be there when I am free to provide some advice to the younger generation of alchemists. "

Looking at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, Xiao Ling also felt that he should say goodbye. He stood up and said with a smile: "It's getting late. I just returned to the Jiama Empire and haven't been back to the family yet. It's time to go back."

President Fa Ma and Vice President Mitchell nodded in understanding. Fa Ma smiled and said: "Haha, then don't waste Master Xiao Ling's precious time. I'll see you off..."

So, the two presidents personally accompanied Xiao Ling out of the gate of the Alchemist Guild, and only returned to the guild with satisfaction and joy until they saw his figure gradually disappear into the distance.

After this exchange with Xiao Ling, both President Fa Ma and Vice President Mitchell clearly felt that Xiao Ling's attitude towards the Alchemist Guild had changed significantly and was obviously much friendlier than it was two years ago. A lot.

…

After leaving the Alchemist Guild, Xiao Ling embarked on the journey back to his family.

Since the news of Xiao Ling's return to the Gama Empire had already spread in the Holy City, the Xiao family naturally got the news and sent a guard to greet him at the door of the family mansion early.

Seeing Xiao Ling's figure appearing at the door, the guards all showed respectful expressions and greeted him in unison: "Master Xiao Ling."

Xiao Ling also nodded lightly to them, and then walked into the door of the Xiao family.

After the family elders learned that Xiao Ling had returned to the Xiao family, they also came to greet him.

As early as the news that Xiao Ling had returned to the imperial capital, the Xiao family had already begun preparations. They had set up a banquet in the family, waiting for the moment Xiao Ling returned.

The first person to greet him was Xiao Zhan, the patriarch of the Xiao family, and closely followed was Xiao Yan, who had not seen Xiao Ling for more than a year.

Xiao Yan has now established a very high prestige in the Xiao family, and the clan members no longer mention various matters in the past. When Xiao Zhan no longer serves as the clan leader, Xiao Yan will naturally become the next clan leader of the Xiao family.

Xiao Ling released a little bit of soul power for induction, and he had an insight into Xiao Yan's current cultivation level. He is a six-star great fighter. Judging from his momentum, he is expected to break through to a high-level great fighter soon.

Under the dedicated training of Elder Huo, a sixth-grade alchemist, Xiao Yan not only improved significantly in his cultivation, but also improved his alchemy skills. Compared with the original work at the same time, it was much better.

…

The atmosphere in the Xiao family meeting hall was solemn and warm.

Xiao Ling listened to Xiao Zhan's description of the family's development in recent years, while taking a sip from the teacup.

After listening to the report, Xiao Ling put down the teacup with a bit of surprise in his tone: "The development of the family in these years is really beyond my expectation."

Xiao Zhan laughed loudly and said: "This is also thanks to Xiao Lingqian's huge contribution to the family. Without you, our development would not be so rapid."

The eldest elder on the side also stroked his beard and smiled: "Indeed, the biggest credit for the rapid development of the Xiao family belongs to Xiao Ling."

"If it weren't for your relationship with the Miter family and the Alchemist Guild, the good exchanges between us and other families might not be so smooth. Other families in the imperial capital would not dare to offend the Xiao family easily. This is why the Xiao family The key to rapid development.”

Xiao Ling shook his head gently and responded humbly: "I just did my part. The prosperity of the family is the result of everyone's joint efforts."

Xiao Ling has always maintained a free-range attitude towards the Xiao family. The Xiao family has a large number of people with varying talents. Although Xiao Ling wants to help, he also knows that he cannot cover everything.

He just paid special attention to Xiao Yan and gave him some precious skills and fighting skills, hoping that he could work hard on his own and bring glory to the family.

If a family wants long-term peace and stability, it is not enough to rely on the efforts of one person alone. Only when family members unite as one and work together can they make steady progress.

After discussing some family affairs and having dinner with members of the Xiao family, Xiao Ling said goodbye to them and returned to his courtyard. Xiao Ling has already been impatient for the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire...
