Chapter 38 - Zi Yan

Riding Rayquaza back to the freshman dormitory area. When he arrived at the gate of his own courtyard, Xiao Ling jumped off the ground, touched Rayquaza's head, and said with a smile: "Go play with your sister Xun'er. Ask her for more pills. Her family doesn't have many mouths to feed."

Rayquaza nodded, rubbed Xiao Ling's face with his head, and flew towards Xiao Xun'er's yard, probably planning to have a good meal.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling shook his head and smiled, pushed open the gate and walked into the yard.

As soon as he opened the gate, he felt the aftermath of the battle. He casually slapped away a wave of energy flying towards him and looked into the yard.

All I saw was Lin Yan and Liu Qing fighting fiercely in the open space in the yard.

Lin Xiuya, who was standing by, saw Xiao Ling coming back and nodded and greeted him.

Xiao Ling walked up to them and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with these two people? Why are they fighting here?"

Lin Xiuya smiled and shook his head, and said helplessly: "Lin Yan took the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill that you made before, and his cultivation has caught up with Liu Qing, so Lin Yan found Liu Qing, and the two of them started to spar. In your opinion, who will win between the two?"

Xiao Ling looked at it for a while and replied, "Lin Yan definitely cannot beat Liu Qing. He has just broken through and his realm is not stable yet. He cannot perfectly control his own strength.Moreover, he is younger than Liu Qing. But Liu Qing just hasn't taken the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill yet. There is still a certain gap between the two in terms of cultivation."

Without further ado, Xiao Ling inquired about the "Supreme Freedom Sect" and said, "How is the formation of the faction going? Have you recruited new members?"

Lin Xiuya touched his chin and replied, "I have already submitted an application to the elders of the academy, and they have agreed. We have not yet recruited any members, and we are now preparing to make the faction uniforms and badges."

Xiao Ling was quite satisfied with the situation. After all, it was only the second day since he entered the inner courtyard, and the progress was already very good. After thinking for a while, Xiao Ling said, "Don't recruit those who like to cause trouble into our faction, and don't recruit those who are too weak, so that they won't come to trouble us when they cause trouble or are bullied. I'm not the kind of person who likes to clean up other people's messes. We just need to treat the people in our faction better."

After hearing this, Lin Xiuya nodded in agreement and replied, "Don't worry, I will pay attention to these things." In the Douqi Continent, strength is respected, and only those who are strong enough can get the respect of others.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, thinking of the matter at the Tianfen Qi Training Tower, and told Lin Xiuya about what happened today. …

"Get some more Qingxin Pill ingredients, and I'll help you refine them into pills. That way, you won't have to worry about training in the Tianfen Qi Training Tower."

"Don't worry, I'll take this matter to heart."

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Ling decided to practice alchemy. He said goodbye to Lin Xiuya and walked towards his room.

After returning to his room, Xiao Ling took out the medicine cauldron, injected beast flame into it, and began to refine the Qingxin Pill. This kind of pill could be used many times in the future, so he could refine more.

After arriving at the inner courtyard, Xiao Ling's daily life began to become regular. He went to the Tianfen Qi Training Tower to practice Dou Qi every day, practiced alchemy in his own courtyard, and helped some students or elders refine pills. Sometimes he went to the arena in the academy to compete with others, improve his practical experience, and earn some fire energy. When he was bored, he would accompany Han Yue or Xiao Xun'er to take a walk in the academy. His life was very leisurely.

....

In the quiet courtyard, Xiao Ling was sitting cross-legged on the grass with a medicine cauldron placed in front of him. The seals in his hands kept changing, controlling the flames to warm a milky white pill.

As Xiao Ling's hand seals changed rapidly, the flame inside the medicine cauldron began to shrink rapidly, and a pill appeared in Xiao Ling's sight. It was a Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill.

Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill, a fourth-grade peak pill, it can increase a Da Dou Shi's strength by one star, and will not have too much resistance. In other words, if a Da Dou Shi can collect two Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pills, he can steadily increase his strength by two stars.  

In the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy, the vast majority of students are at the Dou Ling and Da Dou Shi realms, so the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill is the pill that most people pursue.

When Xiao Ling has time, he will refine a few of them and give them to Lin Xiuya, who will then sell them through the "Supreme Freedom Sect" to earn some fire energy.

Only when you manage a household do you know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. After coming to the inner courtyard, if he wants to practice Dou Qi at the bottom of the Tianfen Qi Training Tower, the fire energy required is not a small amount. Moreover, he does not intend to let Xiao Xun'er and Han Yue waste time to earn fire energy, so it is a good choice to practice alchemy while refining some of these marketable pills.

He took out a porcelain bottle, slightly activated the vacuum palm, and the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill fell into the bottle.

Just as Xiao Ling was about to put it into the ring, he suddenly felt a ripple in the space. A white little hand suddenly appeared in his sight and took the porcelain bottle from Xiao Ling's hand before he could react.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling was also shocked. Even though he had not focused on sensing the surroundings just now, he still paid attention to some of the surrounding situations. If the person coming was going to harm him, it might be very dangerous.

Xiao Ling quickly distanced himself from his previous position and focused his soul perception on the previous location.

But he saw a little girl in white clothes squatting quietly beside the medicine cauldron, and stretched out her delicate little hand to hold the porcelain bottle he was about to put away. She opened the bottle stopper, stared at the pill inside with curious eyes, then put the bottle mouth to her mouth, swallowed the freshly refined Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill into her stomach, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling's eyes flickered. He had almost guessed the identity of this person: Zi Yan, the brute force king who was number one on the inner courtyard's strongest list, the daughter of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Old Dragon Emperor.

With the answer in mind, the tension on his face also eased a little. So he spoke in a calm tone: "Student, it is against the rules to enter other people's dormitories casually, not to mention that you stole the pills I just made. According to the rules of the academy, you will be punished."

Hearing this, the little girl opposite did not change her expression, and muttered: "Old man Su will not punish me, I am not under his control."

The girl rolled her eyes, staring at Xiao Ling with some expectation, and asked excitedly: "Are you a Alchemist? Can you make the kind of pill I just ate for me?"

Knowing the other party's identity, Xiao Ling didn't care about the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill anymore. He smiled and said, "Of course I am an alchemist. As long as there are enough medicinal materials, I can still refine the pills within my ability."

Hearing this, Zi Yan rushed to Xiao Ling in one step and asked excitedly, "Can you help me refine some pills? I'm very strong. I'm the number one on that list. If you help me refine some pills, I'll protect you in school. If you get bullied in the future, you can come to me for help and I'll teach you a lesson."

Xiao Ling took a few steps back and asked curiously, "There are so many alchemists in the inner courtyard, and the elders can also make medicine, why did you come to me?"

Zi Yan thought for a while, and said angrily: "Those students are afraid of me when they see me, and they want to stay away from me. Those old guys always want to take my herbs away, so I can only eat them raw." After saying this, Zi Yan closed the distance a little and asked expectantly: "Can you help me refine pills to eat?"

After the doubts in his heart were resolved. Xiao Ling also knew that Zi Yan's medicinal materials were not difficult to handle, so he said, "I can help you refine them, but you have to prepare the herbs yourself."

Xiao Ling's original intention of coming to the inner courtyard was to deal with the daughter of the Dragon Emperor.

As long as the relationship with Zi Yan is handled well, it will be of great help to me on my future path to becoming an emperor.
