Chapter 217 Plan

In the depths of Xiao Ling's courtyard, there is an exquisite pavilion standing in the center, surrounded by lush flowers and trees, exuding a faint fragrance.

Xiao Yixian and Qinglin were sitting in the pavilion, their conversation was low and warm, accompanied by the breeze, making people feel relaxed and happy.

And beside the pavilion, an illusory soul body floated quietly, with a kind face. It was Yao Chen's soul. Although his existence was invisible, his warm temperament made people feel an inexplicable sense of security.

Zi Yan's figure was not in the courtyard. She had already embarked on a journey to the snake tribe with Medusa, so the courtyard seemed a little empty.

At this time, Qinglin's eyes passed through the railings of the pavilion and cast on the ethereal soul body. Her voice was filled with concern as she asked, "Master, the Dou Qi fluctuations coming from outside the imperial capital just now seemed to come from the direction where the young master left. Could it be that the young master had a fight with someone? Why didn't you let us go and help?"

Hearing this, the Little Medical Immortal couldn't help but cast her eyes towards Yao Chen who was not far away, with a gleam of curiosity in her eyes, and she echoed softly, "Yes, Yao Lao, I just felt the auras of three Dou Huangs rapidly converging over there. I think it was Jia Xingtian, Hai Bodong, and Fa Ma."

Facing the two people's questions, Yao Chen gently stroked his The illusory beard showed a faint smile on his face, and his voice was calm and confident: "The energy fluctuations I sensed are just the level of a high-level Douhuang. For Xiao Ling, it's just a piece of cake. He can easily deal with it, and we don't need to intervene too much."

As soon as the voice fell, Yao Chen's expression suddenly froze, as if he had caught some subtle omen, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Hehe, it seems that the kid will return triumphantly soon."

As soon as Yao Chen's voice fell, a slight fluctuation sounded in the courtyard. Then, a slender figure quietly appeared in the breeze. It was Xiao Ling who had just returned from outside the city.

Xiao Ling stepped into the courtyard and swept his eyes over the three people in the pavilion. He first smiled at Yao Chen, waved his hand, and said softly: "Old Yao, long time no see."

Seeing Xiao Ling greeted him, Yao Chen smiled slightly and nodded gently in response.

Then, Xiao Ling turned his gaze to Xiao Yixian and Qinglin, with a hint of relaxed teasing in his tone: "Xian'er, Qinglin, it seems that you did not go shopping, but chose to return directly to the Xiao family."

Xiao Yixian nodded gently, her voice soft and clear: "Because of the Alchemist Conference, there are too many people around the Royal Plaza, so we decided to return first."

Then, she changed the subject, with a hint of curiosity and concern: "Xiao Ling, there was such a big commotion outside the imperial capital just now, what happened? Can you tell us?"

Qinglin on the side also cast a curious look , his voice was filled with expectation: "Master, what happened outside the imperial capital? We wanted to go and help you, but Master said you could handle it easily, so we didn't go and waited for you here."

Hearing Xiao Yixian and Qinglin's questions, Xiao Ling smiled lightly, a glimmer of relief flashed in his eyes, and his voice was calm and calm: "Actually, it's nothing big, it's just a little mouse sneaking into the Gama Empire."

Then, Xiao Ling began to tell the story of his experience of following Yanli and his party, and the scene of his unexpected encounter with the scorpion cloud outside the city.

There was no excessive exaggeration in his words, but he vividly described the unexpected encounter and the series of events that followed. Of course, he chose to hide the secret of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and did not reveal it to anyone present.

After listening to Xiao Ling's narration, Xiao Yixian and Qinglin's eyes flashed with surprise. They didn't expect that the three countries would secretly unite to deal with the Gama Empire.

Although they didn't have much affection for the Gama Empire, after all, they had lived here for a while, and naturally hoped that this land would be safe and sound.

Yao Chen spoke softly, with a hint of appreciation in his tone: "Although Xiao Ling cannot stay in the Jia Ma Empire for a long time, the elixir he refined during this period will undoubtedly quickly improve the strength of the empire, which is also an effective response strategy."

Xiao Ling nodded in agreement, and his voice revealed a hint of determination: "After we go to Luoyan Empire this time and explore the Dou Zun ruins, if we don't find the strange fire, I will take care of some high-level people in the Three Kingdoms Alliance. As far as I know, their alliance may be related to the Soul Palace. It is also a good thing for the Jia Ma Empire to deal with it early."

He paused and continued: "If I am lucky enough to encounter the strange fire, I will bring it back to the Jia Ma Empire and absorb it in seclusion at the Xiao family. After I absorb the strange fire and stabilize my cultivation, I will take action directly to completely solve those potential threats."

Although Xiao Ling's words are apparently for the benefit of the Jia Ma Empire, in fact, he has another plan in mind.

He plans to take this opportunity to find an excuse to pick up a few Dou Zong corpses and plunder the resources of those overlord forces.

After all, after settling the affairs here, Xiao Ling would probably not return to the Northwest Continent for a long time.

Before leaving, being able to obtain a large amount of resources was undoubtedly a great temptation for him. He believed that those great forces with a long history must have a lot of treasures in their collections.

Not to mention anything else, Xiao Ling is particularly interested in the secret ground-level flying fighting skill "Nine Wings of the Sky Goose" of the Luoyan Empire. This kind of flying fighting skill has long been lost in the Douqi Continent, and it is extremely rare even in Zhongzhou.

In addition, there is the magic poison spot used by Xie Biyan, which can transfer his whole body Douqi to Xiao Ling. In the original work, Xiao Yan used the magic poison spot to break through several stars of cultivation in the realm of Douhuang and Douzong. Xiao Ling is also full of strong interest in this.

Since breaking through to Douzong, Xiao Ling has also deeply felt the difficulty of improving his cultivation. Although his cultivation talent is indeed very strong, it is also limited. He does not have the ability to quickly improve his cultivation through special physiques like Xiao Yixian and Qinglin, nor does he have the Doudi bloodline like the ancient seven clans that can be directly activated to quickly improve his cultivation.

Although you can improve your cultivation through your own hard work, it takes a long time. After a year of hard practice, you may only be able to improve one or two stars. It takes a lot of time to break through the bottleneck of Douzun.

Xiao Ling knew that if he wanted to maintain the previous speed of cultivation improvement, he had to carefully grasp every opportunity that came. Only in this way can his strength continue to grow and steadily climb to a new peak.

As his strength increases, he will get more chips to pursue more magnificent opportunities and realize greater ambitions in his heart. Every step of accumulation is to be able to stand at a higher starting point and overlook the whole world one day in the future.

After listening to Xiao Ling's plan, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin nodded silently, and they affirmed Xiao Ling's decision. Since those people have ill intentions and intend to harm the Jia Ma Empire, they naturally become Xiao Ling's enemies. What's more, colluding with the forces of the Soul Palace who are secretly working, the character of these people can be imagined, and they are definitely not good people.

Yao Chen has lived for so many years and is experienced. Naturally, he can guess some of Xiao Ling's thoughts, but he also agrees with Xiao Ling's plan in his heart.

He is still clear about Xiao Ling's character. He is generous and righteous to his companions and merciless to his enemies.

Yao Chen's mouth curled up into a gentle smile, and his voice was full of affirmation and praise for Xiao Ling's plan: "Your plan is indeed thorough, and you have always been lucky. When you explore the so-called "Turtle Spirit Venerable" ruins, you will definitely gain something. Perhaps, you will get your fifth kind of strange fire there."

Originally, Yao Chen and Xiao Ling had an agreement that when Xiao Ling reached the Douhuang realm, Yao Chen would give him the sub-fire of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire; and when Xiao Ling was promoted to the Douzong realm, Yao Chen would pass the entire Bone Spirit Cold Fire to him. According to this plan, the Bone Spirit Cold Fire would become Xiao Ling's fifth kind of strange fire.

However, Xiao Ling's cultivation speed far exceeded expectations, and when he reached the Douhuang realm, neither of them mentioned this matter.

Although Xiao Ling had collected three kinds of strange fire later, Yao Chen still decided to fulfill his promise. After Xiao Ling broke through to the Douzong realm, Yao Chen mentioned to him the matter of passing the Bone Spirit Cold Fire to him.

But Xiao Ling declined this proposal. He considered that Yao Chen still existed in the form of a soul body. If the Bone Spirit Cold Fire was separated at this time, it would undoubtedly cause damage to Yao Chen. After all, the Bone Spirit Cold Fire would not disappear. It would not be too late to separate it and give it to Yao Chen after he obtained a new body.

Moreover, Xiao Ling would not take Yao Chen's things for nothing. Xiao Ling still saw Yao Chen's kindness to him. The ninth-level magic beast essence blood and Dou Sheng body exchanged with the ancient clan were a surprise prepared by Xiao Ling for Yao Chen.

Hearing Yao Chen's joke, Xiao Ling showed an unnatural smile on his face. He responded: "Haha, then I will borrow your good words, Yao Lao."

In fact, Xiao Ling was not 100% sure whether he could meet the legendary Turtle Spirit Earth Fire. He thought to himself that if the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire really had spirituality and escaped on its own, he could only accept this helpless result.

After all, so much time had passed, and what the strange fire did was beyond human control.

Then, Xiao Ling reached into his arms, touched it lightly, and took out a black ring. This was exactly the spoils he got from Xieyun.

Seeing Xiao Ling's sudden action, Xiao Yixian, Qinglin and Yaochen all cast curious eyes at the same time.

Xiao Ling handed the ring to Xiao Yixian and said with a smile: "Xian'er, this ring originally belonged to the Douhuang from the Chuyun Empire. After he was defeated by me, the ring naturally belonged to me. According to Jia Xingtian and others, this person was born in the Wanxie Sect. I just checked it out. There are indeed many rare poisons collected in the ring. I think it will be of great benefit to your cultivation."

After listening to Xiao Ling's introduction, Xiao Yixian's eyes immediately flashed with a touch of surprise. She stretched out her hand and gently took the black ring from Xiao Ling's hand, and then said to Xiao Ling with gratitude: "Thank you, Xiao Ling, I like this gift very much."

Then, Xiao Yixian held the ring tightly in her hand, released a trace of soul power, and began to explore the inside of the ring.

Soon, she discovered a mountain of poisons, some of which she had only read in the "Heavenly Poison Codex" and had never seen in person.

The Little Medical Immortal, who possessed the "Heavenly Poison Codex", naturally had a wealth of theoretical knowledge of various poisons. However, since neither the Gama Empire nor the Black Horn Region was a rich source of poisons, poison resources were relatively scarce.

The Izumo Empire, due to its unique geographical environment and climatic conditions, had many natural poisons, and the practitioners also focused on poison skills, making the poisons grown there more abundant.

The little medical fairy said to herself: "There are indeed a lot of poisons in this. If I can absorb all these poisons, it will be of great help to my improvement of cultivation."

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling also showed a faint smile on his face and said: "Haha, I hope I can help you."

The reason why Xiao Ling wanted to deal with the three empires was, on the one hand, for the safety of the Gama Empire, and on the other hand, he also wanted to collect training resources for the little medical fairy.

With the poison collected by the entire force of the Ten Thousand Scorpions Sect as an aid, the Little Medical Immortal will no longer have to worry about cultivation resources for a long time due to the ability of the Ernan Poison Body to absorb poison.

At this time, in Xiao Ling's perception, a familiar breath quietly passed across the boundary of the courtyard, and it was undoubtedly Xiao Yan.

Yao Chen also noticed this aura. He smiled slightly, with a hint of playfulness in his tone: "It seems that a guest is about to arrive, so I will retreat first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Chen's figure gradually dissipated in a soft white light, turning into tiny white particles, which were finally hidden within the ancient flame ring on Qing Lin's finger.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling, the Little Medical Fairy and Qing Lin turned their eyes to the entrance of the courtyard.

There, Xiao Yan's figure came into view. He was wearing a black outfit and walked into the courtyard with a steady and calm pace.

Xiao Ling cast his gaze at Xiao Yan, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. He asked softly: "Xiao Yan, do you come to me specifically for something important?"

After all, Xiao Yan had just won the championship in the Alchemist Conference not long ago, Xiao Ling had heard about it, and Xiao Zhan had already prepared a celebration banquet for him. If there were no important matters at hand, Xiao Yan would be immersed in the joy of victory at this time.

When Xiao Yan heard Xiao Ling's inquiry, he first greeted Xiao Ling politely: "Cousin." Then he went straight to the point: "There is indeed something important. Just now, the royal family sent someone to the Xiao family and delivered A Nai Ring, designated to be given to you. My father said that this must be something important, so he asked me to come and hand over this Nai Ring to you. "

As Xiao Yan finished speaking, he took out a Na ring from his arms and handed it to Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling gently waved his hand and took the Najie. Then he released his soul perception, like an invisible tentacle, and penetrated the inside of the Najie.

His perception was delicate and sharp, and he penetrated the space of Najie and found that there were three medicinal materials needed to refine Po Zong Dan, as well as some other rare medicinal materials and various precious materials neatly placed inside.

A satisfied smile appeared on Xiao Ling's lips, and she thought to herself: "The efficiency of the royal family is truly amazing. They prepared the required medicinal materials so quickly."

Then, Xiao Ling carefully put Najie into her arms, raised her head and showed a grateful smile to Xiao Yan, and said, "Okay, I understand the matter clearly. Thank you for making the trip."
