Seeing that Qinglin had already subdued the sand python, Ziyan asked curiously, "Qinglin, how do you feel now? Can you continue to subdue some snake beasts?"
Hearing Ziyan's question, Qinglin also withdrew his attention from the matter of subduing the sand python, and looked at Ziyan. He smiled and said, "It feels pretty good. At the beginning, my physical strength and soul power were a little consumed, but with the help of the pills to restore fighting spirit, it's okay now. If I can continue to subdue snake pets, I feel that absorbing a few more will not be a big problem."
Hearing this, Ziyan smacked her lips, and replied with some envy, "You have just practiced fighting spirit for a short time, and now you can control snake beasts that are several realms stronger than you. I heard from Xiao Ling that you can also absorb the energy in the bodies of the subdued snake beasts. "I'll use your Dou Qi to improve your cultivation. If you catch more snake monsters in the future, your cultivation will skyrocket."
Shaking her head, Zi Yan adopted a mature tone, leaning on her slender waist, and spoke, "However, your original body's strength is still too weak. If you have any questions about cultivation in the future, you can come and ask me."
Qing Lin nodded, not feeling that Zi Yan had said anything wrong. After all, Zi Yan was indeed very powerful, and she longed for such strength. She said, "Then I'll ask for your guidance from now on, Sister Zi Yan."
Satisfied with the answer, Zi Yan nodded happily and said, "Let's go. It should take Xiao Ling a day or two to refine the elixir. I'll catch a few more snake monsters for you."
With that, Zi Yan spread her Dou Qi wings and, leading Qing Lin, continued to search for snake monsters...
...
Inside the secret room, Xiao Ling sat cross-legged, staring intently at the icy blue embryonic elixir in his former medicine cauldron, nourished by the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame.
Xiao Ling nodded in satisfaction as he watched the bumps on the pill gradually become smooth and lustrous. This
was his first time refining this sixth-grade, pinnacle elixir, the Frost Soul Pill. Luckily, with his soul perception far exceeding his own alchemy skills, he managed to refine the pill without a single mistake, despite some clumsy practice. Now, he had entered the stage of nurturing the embryonic pill, and the pill was about to be refined.
As time slowly passed, the bumpy embryonic pill gradually transformed into a round, flawless one.
As the tempering by the strange fire completed, a thumb-sized, ice-blue pill, emitting an icy aura even amidst the strange fire, swirled within the cauldron and appeared within Xiao Ling's sight.
The energy ripples emanating from the pill's refining were easily dispelled by Xiao Ling. He then extended his hand, and the icy pill fell into his palm.
Picking up the sixth-grade, peak-level Cold Soul Pill, Xiao Ling examined it carefully, nodding in satisfaction.
Touching his chin, Xiao Ling muttered to himself, "It's a shame this Cold Soul Pill hasn't developed any danwen. According to the recipe, to refine the highest-quality Cold Soul Pill, one must use a flame with an icy attribute. Otherwise, the pill's quality wouldn't be optimal, and the difficulty would be greatly increased. If it weren't for my powerful soul perception, I wouldn't have been able to refine it. I believe Yao Chen's Bone Spirit Cold Fire is well-suited for refining this kind of icy pill."
Xiao Ling shook his head, clearing his mind of all thoughts. He pulled out a jade bottle of exceptional quality from his storage ring and placed the Cold Soul Pill inside. A flash of white light flashed in his hand, and the porcelain bottle containing the Cold Soul Pill slipped into the ring. Xiao
Ling then took out a pill that restored his Dou Qi and popped it into his mouth. Over the past two and a half days, he'd been constantly refining pills, and the Dou Qi he'd depleted had been largely restored.
Xiao Ling stretched, then stood up, stretching his aching muscles.
His spiritual perception radiated from his brows, and most of Mo City appeared in his mind.
After a careful search, he found no trace of Zi Yan and Qing Lin within Stone Desert City. Xiao Ling shook his head and muttered, "It seems those two little girls haven't returned yet. But it's been two and a half days. Qing Lin must have successfully contracted her first snake pet and awakened her Green Snake Tri-Flower Pupil."
He returned the medicine cauldron to his ring and scanned the room. Seeing nothing was missing, Xiao Ling left the secret alchemy room.
After winding through the corridors, Xiao Ling found a resting room, presumably one of Hai Bodong's guest rooms within the shop.
Entering, Xiao Ling lay down on the soft bed, feeling a sense of relaxation throughout his body and a remarkable sense of peace in his mind.
With some free time, Xiao Ling felt an itch to play the lottery a few times, or else he'd feel a surge of anxiety.
Xiao Ling's mind moved, and he summoned the system panel.
"System, open my personal panel."
