Over the next few days, Xiao Ling devoted himself to the practice of the illusion-based fighting technique, Dream Spirit Shadow.
Inside the courtyard, Xiao Yixian gazed at a kitten before her, a look of astonishment on her face. She tentatively reached out to touch the kitten, but her palm simply passed through its surface.
Retracting her hand, Xiao Yixian's eyes, filled with curiosity, fixed their gaze on Xiao Ling. "Your illusion fighting technique is truly remarkable. If I hadn't touched it myself, I wouldn't have been able to tell this kitten was created by illusion."
Watching Xiao Ling perform such a miraculous illusion, Xiao Yixian's heart surged with emotion. She secretly marveled at Xiao Ling's exceptional talent and tireless effort, which had enabled him to master such a profound fighting technique so quickly.
Yao Chen, standing not far away, gently stroked his beard, his eyes equally filled with astonishment. "This illusion-based fighting technique is truly exceptional. I hadn't heard much about it during my time in Zhongzhou. It bears a striking resemblance to the legendary 'Nightmare Sky Mist.' Qing'er's Green Snake Triple Flower Pupil has a similar effect."
Xiao Ling smiled faintly and waved his hand. "This fighting technique differs from 'Nightmare Sky Mist.' It can't control a large area of enemies; its primary purpose is to control a single target."
Legend has it that the Pure Lotus Demon Sage used 'Nightmare Sky Mist,' causing millions of people in a city to experience a centuries-long illusion. When the mist dissipated, they realized the centuries had been but a fleeting dream. This speaks volumes about the terrifying effects of this technique.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
As the group chatted, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
Xiao Ling released a subtle burst of soul power, recognizing the visitor's identity. He raised his eyebrows slightly, then flicked his sleeve, and the courtyard door slowly swung open.
Noticing someone approaching, Yao Chen gave Xiao Ling a slight nod and then drifted into Qing Lin's training room.
"Master Xiao Ling, Miss Little Medical Immortal, Ya Fei has come uninvited. Please forgive me."
A soft, gentle whisper reached Xiao Ling's ears, accompanied by the crisp sound of high heels on the bluestone path.
Turning his gaze in the direction of the voice, a woman appeared within his sight.
Her pretty face, with a faint smile, held a hint of allure. She wore a vibrant, tight-fitting red brocade robe, exquisitely crafted, perfectly framing her graceful curves. A glimpse of
dazzling, snow-white legs peeked from beneath, stirring a fiery passion within him. A silver belt cinched her slender waist, perfectly accentuated. Her narrow, peach-shaped eyes radiated a constant allure and allure.
The visitor was none other than Mitel Yafei. In the original novel, she was one of Xiao Yan's angel investors.
Xiao Ling had previously casually mentioned Yafei to Hai Bodong, who had transferred her from Wutan City back to the Imperial Capital, appointing her as the Chief Auctioneer and Manager of the Mitel Auction House.
She frequently interacted with members of the Xiao family and was considered a friend of Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling admired Yafei greatly, but lamented that she had been born in the Dou Qi Continent, a world where strength reigns supreme, and instead focused her talents on business.
Had Yafei been born on Earth, with her intelligence, tact, and penetrating abilities, she would likely have excelled in the business world.
A faint smile appeared on Xiao Ling's face, and he cast a questioning look at Ya Fei. "Haha, I'm free right now, so you didn't disturb me. Miss Ya Fei, what brings you to see me today?"
Hearing Xiao Ling's question, Ya Fei's expression remained unchanged. "Ya Fei, I'm here to ask Master Xiao Ling to go to the Mitel Family. The Supreme Elder has already prepared the medicinal materials for three Rejuvenating Purple Pills. As for the reward, you will need to choose it yourself."

Looking at the young man who had changed the course of her life, Ya Fei's heart was filled with gratitude.
If it weren't for Master Xiao Ling's kind words, she might have become a tool for her family's marriage, unwillingly marrying Mu Zhan of the Mu family.
Hearing Ya Fei's story, Xiao Ling raised an eyebrow slightly. "The ingredients for the Soul-Restoring Purple Pill are extremely difficult to find. How did Mr. Hai gather them so quickly?"
"Haha, the Mitel family expended a great deal of manpower to search for the ingredients for the Soul-Restoring Purple Pill. Even the Grand Elder personally went out and just returned not long ago." Ya Fei chuckled softly, her voice like the gurgling of a stream, soft and charming.
After hearing Yafei's explanation, Xiao Ling nodded slightly. "No wonder he left the imperial capital earlier. It turned out he was planning to go out in search of medicine."
Xiao Ling turned to look at the Little Medical Fairy and asked, "Xian'er, would you like to join me for a tour of the Mitel Clan?"
The Little Medical Fairy paused for a moment, then nodded. "I'm free right now, and I've never been inside the Mitel Clan before. This time, I'll accompany you to broaden your horizons."
Upon hearing the Little Medical Fairy's response, Xiao Ling immediately rose from his seat. "Without further delay, Miss Yafei, we'll set off for the Mitel Clan now."
With that, Xiao Ling took off without hesitation, slowly and leisurely walking out of the courtyard. Seeing this, the Little Medical Fairy followed Xiao Ling with graceful steps.
As Xiao Ling stood up, Yafei hurriedly said, "Master Xiao Ling, I've prepared the carriage. Please follow me."
Xiao Ling and the Little Medical Fairy boarded the carriage, guided by Yafei. The carriage's interior was exquisitely appointed and comfortable, its soft cushions soothing.
As the carriage slowly moved forward, Yafei, smiling, engaged in conversation with Xiao Ling and Xiao Yixian.
Yafei's eyes flickered, her gaze shifting to Xiao Ling. "Besides the matter of refining the Soul-Restoring Purple Pill, the alchemists in the family have also been eager to see Master Xiao Ling in action." Xiao Ling
raised an eyebrow. "If you want to see, go ahead. I'm not bothered."
Soon, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the Mitel family's main gate. Xiao Ling and the others disembarked, only to be greeted by a magnificent building, a testament to the Mitel family's majesty and profound heritage.
Yafei led the way, with Xiao Ling and Xiao Yixian following closely behind. Entering the main hall, a white-haired, yet vigorous, elder sat at the head of the table. This man was none other than the Mitel family's Grand Elder.
"Master Xiao Ling, we've finally got you here." Hai Bodong stood up from his seat and said with a hearty laugh upon seeing Xiao Ling and the others arrive.
Xiao Ling also smiled kindly, "Master Hai has been out looking for herbs lately, and it seems he's had quite a good harvest."
"Haha, I did come across some good herbs. Master Xiao Ling will choose them."
After a few pleasantries, Xiao Ling began preparing for the alchemy. Meanwhile, Xiao Yixian, accompanied by Ya Fei, toured the Miter family's various locations...
