Ever since Xiao Ling broke through to the four-star Dou Huang level, the news that Xiao Ling had broken through to the Dou Huang level was inadvertently spread.
Many people wanted to come and visit, but Xiao Ling only met with Hai Bodong once, told him about the Spiritual Recovery Purple Pill, and asked him to prepare the medicinal materials and remuneration for refining the pill himself.
After finishing his retreat, Xiao Ling's life became more leisurely.
Most of the time, he followed Yao Chen to learn about alchemy, and occasionally took Qing Lin and a few others to go shopping and play in the Jia Ma Imperial City.
The streets of the Jia Ma Imperial City are prosperous and bustling, with people coming and going and shouting one after another.
Xiao Ling used the "camouflage" skill to reduce his presence, and moved among the crowd with Qing Lin and others, his face filled with relaxation and joy.
Zi Yan looked at the various stalls on the street with curiosity, stopping from time to time to pick out some novel little gadgets.
Qing Lin's innocent smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, warming people's hearts; and the other two girls were also charming, attracting the attention of passers-by.
As the saying goes, an old man in the family is like a treasure. Having old man Yao Chen has indeed brought a lot of convenience to Xiao Ling's life.
Yao Chen's profound knowledge and rich experience are like an endless treasure house.
No matter whether it was the bottleneck encountered during cultivation, or the doubts about practicing fighting skills, or even the subtle techniques in alchemy, as long as Xiao Ling and the three women had something they didn't understand, Yao Chen would be able to answer their questions and resolve their confusion.
Under Yao Chen's guidance, Xiao Ling's understanding of alchemy became increasingly profound.
Unfortunately, Xiao Ling has not yet gathered all the medicinal materials for the seventh-grade pill, so he cannot refine it himself.
Talking about it on paper is not as good as personal experience. If you want to quickly improve your alchemy skills, it will not be possible without the help of a lot of resources.
There were not many medicinal herbs left in Yao Chen's storage ring. Most of the precious materials he had during his lifetime were taken away by Han Feng.
Xiao Ling also mentioned Han Feng's matter to Yao Chen. When he becomes strong enough, Xiao Ling will definitely open Han Feng's experience package.
Yao Chen was very surprised to learn that Han Feng had escaped from Zhongzhou to the Black Corner Region. Yao Chen only made one request, hoping that Xiao Ling would hand Han Feng over to him.
Xiao Ling naturally agreed to this matter. Although Han Feng's soul was very good, this little benefit could not be compared with the help Yao Chen gave to Xiao Ling.
During these leisurely and fulfilling days, Xiao Ling's relationship with his friends became deeper and deeper. Every bit of their experience together has become the most precious memory in their lives.
Xiao Ling knows very well that such time is a rare moment of tranquility and beauty. He cherishes it immensely and looks forward to more wonderful things waiting for them to explore in the future.
…
In Xiao Ling's courtyard, Xiao Ling was instructing Xiao Yan on the knowledge of alchemy.
Now, two months have passed since Xiao Ling came out of seclusion. During this period, Xiao Yan would come to Xiao Ling from time to time to ask for advice on alchemy in order to improve his alchemy skills.
Looking at the green and gold Heavenly Flame in Xiao Ling's hand, Xiao Yan looked at the sixth-level dark sea dragon beast flame in his own hand, feeling a little envious.
This sixth-level dark sea dragon beast flame was naturally obtained by Xiao Yan from the royal family through Yao Yue's relationship. Looking at the beast flame in Xiao Yan's hand, Xiao Ling raised a curve at the corner of his mouth and said jokingly: "It seems that you have a good relationship with the little princess of the royal family. She even got you a beast flamee of the royal guardian beast."
Xiao Yan scratched his head and turned his head unconsciously. Now everyone in the capital knew that the third young master of the Xiao family and Nalan Yanran had broken off their engagement.
Because the true story was not spread out, according to folk rumors, Nalan Yanran broke off her engagement with the Xiao family because Xiao Yan and the royal princess Yao Yue were too close.
Seeing Xiao Yan's look, Xiao Ling shook his head. Xiao Ling had also met the little royal princesses Yao Yue several times. Both sides should have some ideas. If the Xiao family and the royal family could become relatives, it would definitely be of great benefit to the development of both sides.
At this time, a maid walked into Xiao Ling's courtyard and bowed to the two of them, "Master Xiao Ling, Master Xiao Yan, Marshal Lionheart is here to visit you."
Raising his eyebrows, Xiao Ling was a little surprised. He originally thought that after what happened with Nalan Yanran, Nalan Jie would not be too embarrassed to come and seek his help.
In a few days, Xiao Ling would be leaving the imperial capital. He had originally planned to go directly to the Nalan family one night to take away the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva, and then leave some pills as compensation.
Xiao Ling really didn't have any good feelings towards Nalan Jie. In the original novel, he always said that he would definitely help Xiao Yan if he had any problems. However, Xiao Yan was invited to have tea by the three Dou Kings of the Yunlan Sect, and Nalan Jie sat aside and didn't dare to say a word.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan, who was standing by, cast a curious look at the maid, because Nalan Yanran had made the decision to break off the engagement on her own, and Xiao Yan had not really gone to her house to divorce her. Although the relationship between the Nalan and Xiao families had become somewhat awkward, with the Nalan family's intention to make peace, the relationship between the two families was quite good.
Seeing that Xiao Ling did not reply, the maid thought that she had disturbed the two of them, and asked cautiously: "Marshal Lionheart has arrived at the Xiao family's reception room. Do you want to invite him over?"
Nodding slightly, Xiao Ling said calmly: "In that case, let him come over."
"Yes." After receiving Xiao Ling's instructions, the maid bowed and left.
After the maid left, Xiao Yan also stood up and said, "Since my cousin has something to deal with, I will take my leave first."
"Well, remember to take stock of what you have learned today."
Not long after Xiao Yan left, a skinny old man with white hair and beard walked into the courtyard.
"Hahahaha, Master Xiao Ling, please forgive me for disturbing you this time!"
Along with the footsteps came Nalan Jie's heroic words.
"Mr. Nalan, you are too polite. I happen to be free now, so please don't disturb me." Xiao Ling looked at Nalan Jie and said lightly.
When Nalan Jie entered the room, he saw that Xiao Ling did not show any obvious displeasure, and his uneasy mood eased a little.
He clasped his fists towards Xiao Ling and said, "In fact, the Nalan family and the Xiao family used to be good friends, and I and your Xiao family's old patriarch Xiao Lin are even more of a life-long friend. However, my grandson Yanran previously trespassed into your mansion and damaged the friendship between the two families. I would like to apologize to you here. Alas, this is all my fault. I did not teach Yanran well. I hope Master Xiao Ling will forgive me..."
Waving his hands, Xiao Ling's face remained calm, "Since this matter has passed and both parties have received a satisfactory answer, let's not mention it again."
