Chapter 309 Fei Tian
Xiao Ling keenly noticed the state of Skyfire Venerable, and his heart was filled with joy. Then he thought about it and stretched out his hand lightly. The three kinds of strange fire that wrapped around Skyfire Venerable were like obedient pets and were obediently retracted into his body.
Yao Chen's soul body floating nearby also felt the majestic aura at this moment. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "It seems that this old guy should have truly been resurrected."
Yao Chen looked at the scene in front of him with mixed feelings. A few days ago, the Skyfire Venerable was just a soul like him, but now he has regained his physical body and is radiating new vitality. Although Yao Chen didn't say it, there was a hint of envy in his eyes.
Sensing Yao Chen's reaction, Xiao Ling said with a hint of joking, "Haha, Yao Lao, you don't have to envy Senior Tianhuo. I will definitely collect materials for refining a body for you later. By then, maybe I can get a Dou Sheng body and the essence of a ninth-level monster for you to use for resurrection. In that case, it is not impossible for you to break through to the Dou Sheng level after resurrection."
"You kid, stop teasing me. How can the body of a Dou Sheng be so easy to get? I think it's pretty good to be able to get a body of a five-star Dou Zun or above." Hearing Xiao Ling's teasing, Yao Chen said unhappily.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling did not say much. He secretly thought in his heart, I really don't know what Yao Chen's reaction will be when he sees the real Dou Sheng body and the ninth-level magic beast's blood. Imagining Yao Chen's surprised look, Xiao Ling unconsciously looked forward to it.
"Senior Yao Chen, don't worry. I, Xiao Ling, will definitely do what I promised." Xiao Ling's tone was firm, "Although the body of a Dou Sheng is rare, it is not impossible. Our goal is to create a miracle."
Yao Chen looked at Xiao Ling's confident look, and his expectations increased a bit. This young man always brings surprises to people. Maybe, he can really do it?
While Xiao Ling and Yao Chen were chatting, the corpse's eyes suddenly blinked, and the vitality contained in them quickly became stronger. Then, with a slight sound, the figure of Skyfire Venerable fell straight to the ground steadily.
Noticing the movement, Xiao Ling and Yao Chen's conversation came to an abrupt halt, and their eyes turned in the direction of Skyfire Venerable at the same time.
Seeing that Venerable Skyfire had completed the miracle of resurrection, Xiao Ling smiled and congratulated him easily, "Haha, congratulations to Senior Skyfire for being reborn from the ashes."
Yao Chen was also standing by and said in a teasing tone, "Haha, congratulations, old man."
The Skyfire Venerable gently twisted his arms, feeling the body that had just merged with his soul. This body was both familiar and strange to him.
Familiar, because it was originally his own; strange, because it had been away from him for too long, some of the feelings he once had had had long been forgotten with the passage of time. However, the feeling of being able to possess the body again now was truly indescribably wonderful.
He looked up at Xiao Ling and Yao Chen who were approaching, his face filled with a happy smile, and laughed out loud: "Hahaha, I have to thank you, Xiao Ling! Without you, an old man like me would have been reduced to ashes long ago, let alone resurrected."
Then, he turned his gaze to the soul body of Yao Chen beside him, and said in a soothing voice, "Haha, brother Yao Chen, you don't have to worry. When I get used to this new body, I will also help you find a suitable body so that you can be reborn like me."
After hearing this, Yao Chen felt a warm feeling in his heart. He knew that Venerable Tianhuo was sincere in what he said, so he smiled and nodded.
At this time, Xiao Ling asked with a hint of curiosity: "Senior Tianhuo, you should still be adapting to this body, right?"
Skyfire Venerable nodded slightly. Although he now had a body, he had not yet been able to fully exert his full strength. He must first become familiar with this body before he can truly be considered a Dou Zun.
"I've been in my soul form for too long, I almost forgot what it feels like to have a physical body." Skyfire Venerable said with emotion, "However, my soul and this body have merged perfectly, and I don't feel any discomfort. Give me seven days to adapt, and I will be able to recover to the peak strength of Dou Zun three stars. Although it's still a little far from my peak Dou Zun five stars, it's still pretty good."
After hearing this, Xiao Ling's eyes flashed with surprise: "It's not bad to be able to recover to the peak of Dou Zun three stars in seven days."
Yao Chen also praised: "Indeed, Tianhuo, your recovery speed is much faster than I expected."
Skyfire Venerable smiled and said confidently, "Of course, I am Skyfire Venerable and I am not just called that for nothing. When I have completely adapted to this body, with my previous understanding of the five-star Dou Zun, it will be no problem for me to deal with ordinary four-star Dou Zun."
The strength of the Skyfire Venerable is indeed eye-catching and exceeds everyone's expectations. Looking back at the original timeline, the Skyfire Venerable's recovery to the Dou Zun level is already a good achievement.
Back then, the body Xiao Yan prepared for Skyfire Venerable was only Yunshan's, and the elixir he used was only a seventh-grade intermediate Yin-Yang Soul Pill, so it was reasonable that Skyfire Venerable could only reach the Dou Zun level at that time.
But now the situation is very different. The body that Xiao Ling prepared for Skyfire Venerable was carefully cultivated from his original bones, and the elixir used was also upgraded to an eight-grade, four-color high-end product. Under such circumstances, it was both reasonable and unexpected that Skyfire Venerable could recover to the peak of Dou Zun three stars.
"Three Star Dou Zun Peak? If you take another Fuling Green Pill, you should be able to recover to the peak state and reach the Five Star Dou Zun realm." Yao Chen suggested, "After you adapt to your new cultivation level, let Xiao Ling refine a Fuling Green Pill for you. However, we are still short of a few medicinal herbs for refining Fuling Green Pill, so we have to find a chance to collect them."
With the strength of a five-star Dou Zun, he is rarely rivaled in the relatively peaceful Zhongzhou.
"Five-star Dou Zun? Haha, if it's really possible, that would be great." Upon hearing Yao Chen's words, Skyfire Zun showed a look of desire on his face. If he could directly recover to the peak, it would save him several years of hard training.
"I thought so too. After we solve the problem of the Netherworld Poison Fire, we can go to the Dan Domain. There are abundant medicinal materials there, and it shouldn't be too difficult to collect the medicinal materials for refining Fuling Qingdan." Xiao Ling also nodded in agreement and said
"By the way, my bone flame ring will be handed over to you for safekeeping from now on, Tianhuo." Yao Chen said as he easily controlled the bone flame ring to float slowly towards Venerable Tianhuo. Venerable Tianhuo reached out to take it and gently put the ring on his finger.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling also handed over the storage ring that previously belonged to Lord Skyfire.
"Haha, Xiao Ling, I plan to go into seclusion first and get familiar with this new body." Skyfire Venerable had a smile on his face, "If you need my help, just come find me."
"Okay, Senior Tianhuo, then you should have a good rest. I won't disturb you." Xiao Ling nodded politely, then quietly retreated, leaving Senior Tianhuo a quiet space.
……
Deep inside the Han family manor.
Xiao Ling sat quietly in the yard. In front of him was an ancient medicine cauldron with flames dancing inside. He was obviously refining medicine. Beside him sat three women, some mature and some young. They talked quietly, but their eyes fell on Xiao Ling from time to time.
Time passed quietly in silence, Xiao Ling's gesture suddenly changed, and a subtle energy fluctuation came from the medicine cauldron. The moment these fluctuations touched the medicine cauldron, they were completely absorbed by the medicine cauldron, without leaking out a single bit.
Then, Xiao Ling waved his hand gently, and a shiny, round purple pill seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand and landed lightly in his palm. He carefully took out a jade box and stored the pill away properly.
This pill was the Soul-Melting Pill that he had promised to Queen Medusa. Xiao Ling planned to personally hand this pill to Medusa after she woke up to help her merge her soul.
In the yard, the breeze blew gently, bringing a faint medicinal fragrance as well as a hint of tranquility and peace.
"Brother Xiao Ling, you've been refining the elixir for so long, do you feel tired?" Han Xue asked softly as she saw Xiao Ling finished refining the elixir. Han Yue carefully wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief.
Zi Yan rolled her eyes and found that she seemed to have no skills in taking care of people, so she could only cross her legs and chew pills, looking quite playful.
"It's just refining a sixth-grade pill. It's a piece of cake for me. It's no big deal." As he spoke, Xiao Ling took the tea handed to him by Han Xue and drank it all. He enjoyed Han Yue's careful care, squinted his eyes, and his tone was full of satisfaction and relaxation.
"Brother Xiao Ling, you are so awesome..." Han Xue's eyes were shining with admiration, as if she had been completely conquered by Xiao Ling's charm.
"Come on, stop praising me like that. I'm going to blush if you praise me any more." Xiao Ling said with a smile, while reaching out to gently rub Han Xue's two pigtails, making her cheeks flush, but she still obediently didn't avoid it. Han Yue saw this scene and could only shake her head helplessly. She knew that her sister was already in deep trouble and there was no hope. In the past few nights, when she and Xiao Ling had in-depth exchanges, she hinted at it intentionally or unintentionally, and it was also obvious that Xiao Ling also had that idea in his mind.
Thinking of this, Han Yue looked at Xiao Ling with a hint of resentment in her eyes unconsciously.
As if he had noticed Han Yue's somewhat resentful look, Xiao Ling turned his head and pecked Han Yue lightly on the face, then said confidently, "Yue'er, don't worry, I only treat Xue'er as my sister, don't think too much."
As he spoke, Xiao Ling's hand unconsciously wanted to feel the softness.
Han Yue was quick to slap Xiao Ling's mischievous hand away and said helplessly, "Haha, I think you think Xue'er is your lover."
Seeing her sister flirting with Xiao Ling, Han Xue couldn't help but feel a little envious. She only learned about her sister and Xiao Ling's relationship not long ago, and she felt a little disappointed at the time.
The person she liked turned out to be her brother-in-law, which made her feel a little at a loss. However, when she heard her sister say that Xiao Ling was not the only woman in her heart, the haze in her heart suddenly dissipated. If this is true, then does she have a chance too?
She also heard from her aunt that men like sisters the most. Thinking of this, Han Xue unconsciously leaned towards Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling noticed Han Xue's little move. He turned his head and looked at Han Xue's slightly shy face. He suddenly hugged Han Xue into his arms and said, "Xue'er, are you interested in your sister's proposal?"
"Sister, you... Brother Xiao Ling, you are so bad..." Han Xue was stunned by Xiao Ling's hug. When Xiao Ling asked, she almost agreed in a daze. But then she suddenly came to her senses, her face was as red as a ripe apple, she covered her face, and ran away after saying half a sentence.
Looking at Han Xue's running back, Xiao Ling shook his head helplessly, "This girl, she talks big, but she doesn't have the courage to take action."
Han Yue watched this scene from the side and couldn't help laughing, "Xiao Ling, stop teasing her. Look, you scared Xue'er away."
Xiao Ling smiled, released the empty space in his arms, looked at Han Yue and said, "Okay, I won't tease her anymore. But seriously, Yue'er, do you really not mind?"
Han Yue leaned gently on Xiao Ling's shoulder and said softly, "Silly boy, why would I mind? As long as you don't abandon me, nothing else matters."
The two of them leaned close together, and the air around them seemed to become sweet, which made Zi Yan beside them frown slightly.
Suddenly, Xiao Ling's brows slightly frowned. In his perception, from outside Tianbei City, there suddenly came the aura of an eight-star Dou Zong. Such a strong man is not a common figure in Tianbei City.
Noticing Xiao Ling's abnormality, Han Yue raised her head with a hint of confusion in her eyes, "Xiao Ling, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Xiao Ling gently patted the back of Han Yue's hand and comforted her, "It's nothing serious, it's just that a powerful person came to Tianbei City. I'll go see what's going on."
"Who is it? I hope you won't be in any danger." Han Yue's tone revealed a hint of worry.
"Don't worry, I have a Dou Zun-level Heavenly Demon Puppet as my bodyguard. No one can hurt me easily. That person doesn't have the strength to do that." Xiao Ling smiled and continued, "I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Xiao Ling's figure flashed, and in a few flashes, he left the Han family mansion.
Han Yue looked at the direction where Xiao Ling left, and her worries gradually subsided. She knew that Xiao Ling was not a reckless person, and he would definitely act carefully. Moreover, as he said, with the protection of the Heavenly Demon Puppet, his safety should not be a problem.
……
Hong family, in the reception room.
The atmosphere in the gorgeous reception room was solemn and peaceful. There were three people sitting in the room, two old men and a young man.
Two of the old men were talking in low voices. One was the helmsman of the Hong family, Hong Tianxiao, and the other was the leader of Fenglei North Pavilion, Fei Tian.
"Hong Xiaotian, have you found out the news about the eighth-grade alchemist who appeared in Tianbei City recently?" Fei Tian tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers. With his other hand, he held up a cup of tea and sipped it slowly. His eyes were not directly directed at Hong Tianxiao, revealing the composure of a superior.
Hong Tianxiao was a little unhappy when he saw this, but considering that the other party was a veteran Dou Zong master and an important figure in Fenglei Pavilion, he had to suppress his dissatisfaction and said slowly, "Pavilion Master Fei, I have already found out the news about the eighth-grade alchemist. As far as I know, this person is named Xiao Ling, from Canaan College, he is very young, about twenty years old, and is a classmate of Han Yue, the eldest daughter of the Han family. This time when he came to Zhongzhou, he visited the Han family. As for the reason for refining the eighth-grade elixir that day, it is said that there was some friction with the chief alchemist of the Han family."
Since Xiao Ling wanted to make a name for himself in Zhongzhou, he did not ask the Han family to block any news about him. For those who came to inquire about his background, Xiao Ling instructed the Han family to be honest and answer their questions truthfully.
Hearing this, Fei Tian, who was originally sipping tea leisurely, trembled and the hot tea splashed on his hands, but he was completely unaware. "A twenty-year-old eighth-grade alchemist? And from the Northwest Continent? How is this possible?" He originally thought that it was an old alchemist who had been reclusive, but the facts were beyond his expectations.
"Hong Tianxiao, are you sure the information is correct?" There was a hint of urgency in Fei Tian's voice.
"Master Fei, all of this was stated by that person himself. If it's not false, it should be true." Hong Tianxiao answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Fei Tian pondered for a moment, thinking to himself, if this young man really came from the Northwest Continent and had just arrived in Zhongzhou, then he should not have been involved with other forces. If he could be brought to Fenglei Pavilion at this time, or at least establish a good relationship with him, it would undoubtedly be a hundred harms and no benefits for Fenglei Pavilion.
Thinking of this, Fei Tian turned to Hong Chen and said, "Hong Chen, you did a good job on this matter. When I return to Fenglei North Pavilion, I will promote you to a core disciple and give you the qualification to practice my Fenglei Pavilion's unique skills."
Hong Chen was sitting quietly at the side. When he heard Fei Tian's promise, he immediately showed joy on his face. He quickly stood up and saluted respectfully, "Thank you, Pavilion Master!"
……
While these people were chatting leisurely, they were unaware that a figure was lurking silently on the roof of the living room and had heard their conversation clearly.
The figure standing on the roof was none other than Xiao Ling, who had followed the scent before.
At that time, he sensed the aura of this eight-star Dou Zong lingering in the Hong family, and he began to guess about the identity of this person.
Now that Hong Tianxiao called that person "Pavilion Master Fei", that person's identity was self-evident. He was the Pavilion Master of Fenglei North Pavilion, Fei Tian.
"Originally, I was still thinking about how to get the upper level of Three Thousand Thunder Movements and the cultivation method of Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body," Xiao Ling thought to himself, "Now Fei Tian has come all the way to Tianbei City in order to get information about me. It's really like looking for something without any effort."
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth into a meaningful smile.
