After hearing Ning Yuxi's introduction, Xiao Ling came back to his senses, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Miss Ning Yuxi is right, I am indeed very interested in this Fate-Defying Rebirth Lotus. I have only read about it in ancient books before, and this is the first time I have the opportunity to see it with my own eyes. According to common sense, this kind of medicinal material should have been extinct long ago, but I didn't expect that Guigu still has a collection of it. It is worthy of being the Sound Valley, and its heritage is indeed profound."

As Xiao Ling spoke, he took out the special token Ning Yuxi had given him, and then raised the token and slapped it towards the thin silver space film outside the jade box. As the token came into contact with the film, the silver space film began to recede, like the tide gradually receding.

Then, Xiao Ling stretched out his hand and sucked, and the exquisite jade box was pulled into his palm. Xiao Ling flipped his palm and opened the lid of the jade box, revealing the scene inside.

On the soft cloth at the bottom of the jade box, a pair of lotus flowers lay there quietly, as if sleeping, exuding a mysterious and tranquil aura.

It is a rare lotus with two stems, the branches are green and blue, and they are divided from the middle to the two sides, each holding a lotus. The white lotus is as pure as snow, and its petals are spread out layer by layer, exuding a pure breath, like a messenger of life. The black lotus is like ink, mysterious and deep, and its petals are slightly curled, exuding a chilling deathly aura.

This thing is none other than a lotus that defies fate and leads to rebirth.

At this time, the little mink standing on Xiao Ling's shoulder was staring at the fate-defying lotus lying quietly in the jade box with his pair of dark and bright eyes.

Xiao Diao had already reached the perfection of the Death Mysterious Realm during his lifetime, and his control over the energy of life and death had already reached perfection. Just by observation, Xiao Diao could clearly sense that the pair of lotus flowers contained a strong energy of life and death.

Not only that, Xiao Diao was also surprised to find that on this lotus, the originally opposing energies of life and death were flowing between each other, confronting each other and blending with each other, forming a sense of balance that was so wonderful that it was difficult to describe.

If the little mink is now in the peak state of possessing a physical body, it is confident that if it directly takes the twin lotuses together, not only will there be no side effects, but it will also greatly enhance its control over the power of life and death, and its cultivation will be able to be further improved. It may even successfully integrate the energy of life and death, and it is not impossible for its cultivation to break through the Chakra state in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, the little mink couldn't help but feel excited. It quickly leaned close to Xiao Ling's ear and whispered anxiously, "Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, what is this... Fate-Defying Rebirth Lotus... You must take it. This is definitely a great treasure!"

"Haven't you been looking for a way to balance the energy of life and death? I think this lotus is definitely the best material to balance the energy of life and death. If you can get a few more of these fate-defying lotuses, after swallowing them, I, Master Diao, have the confidence that I can condense a physical body on my own."

After hearing Xiao Diao's voice transmission, Xiao Ling came back to his senses, raised his eyebrows, and then secretly transmitted his voice, "I have read a lot of information before in order to find a way to balance the energy of life and death. I have also read the information about this Fate-Defying Rebirth Lotus. But I have always heard that it has become extinct, so I didn't look for it anymore. I didn't expect to encounter one in the Sound Valley this time. It can be considered a blessing in disguise."

"A Diao, since you have personally identified it, this Fate-Defying Rebirth Lotus should indeed have the effect of balancing the energy of life and death. Wait for me to take this Fate-Defying Rebirth Lotus away and go back to study it carefully. Maybe I can make a pill to revive you."

After hearing what Xiao Ling said, Xiao Diao was so excited that he asked hurriedly, "So if you take this Fate-Defying Rebirth Lotus and go back to study it, you can refine a pill that can bring me back to life?"

"It's not that simple, Xiao Diao. Although the Fate-Defying Rebirth Lotus is the key, it is not so easy to prepare a new pill formula. We have to consider various factors such as proportions and temperature. But don't worry, since I said it, I will do my best. I will use all my skills and strive to develop a pill that can revive you as soon as possible." Xiao Ling was a little amused and shook his head helplessly, and responded secretly.

After finishing speaking, Xiao Ling stopped talking to Xiao Diao. He immediately looked at Ning Yuxi who was standing beside him, with a gentle smile on his face, and said, "Miss Ning Yuxi, this Fate-Defying Rebirth Lotus is of great use to me. I am lucky to see it today. I will not be polite anymore and hope to take it away. I hope you will agree to this."

"Master Xiao Ling, you are too polite. My master has told me before that if Master Xiao Ling likes something, he can just take it. Since Master Xiao Ling likes this Fate-Defying Rebirth Lotus, it naturally belongs to you, Master Xiao Ling, so you can just take it." Ning Yuxi smiled slightly and said very politely.

"Thank you." Xiao Ling smiled slightly and didn't say anything more polite. He closed the lid of the jade box again, then stretched out his hand and put the jade box containing the Fate-Defying Rebirth Lotus into the ring.

After receiving the good things, Xiao Ling's heart was filled with joy.

Previously, he did not have high expectations for this treasure hunt in Yin Valley. After all, Yin Valley was different from Fenyan Valley. The ancestors of Fenyan Valley had produced a nine-star Dou Sheng peak powerhouse, so one could imagine how profound its foundation was. In comparison, Yin Valley might be inferior.

However, I never expected that I could find something here that would be of great benefit to the little mink's recovery. This was truly a pleasant surprise.

Afterwards, Ning Yuxi took Xiao Ling and Qing Lin to browse the area where the medicinal herbs were stored. During this process, Xiao Ling found several rare medicinal herbs that he had not collected before, so he collected them to enrich his inventory.

After taking these medicinal herbs, Xiao Ling no longer had any intention of staying here any longer, so he asked Ning Yuxi to take him away from this treasure house.

After all, more than half a year has passed since Xiao Ling took Qinglin away from Xingyun Pavilion, and it is time to go back.

Moreover, if he wants to create a pill that can help Xiao Diao recover his body as soon as possible, he needs to discuss it with Yao Chen. This may speed up the progress.

……

The place where the Sound Valley space barrier is located.

In the quiet valley, there is a green meadow, like a flawless emerald spread on the earth.

Two huge stone pillars stand tall on the grass. The pillars are smooth without any flaws, and are engraved with exquisite mysterious patterns, reflecting a magical halo in the sunlight.

Suddenly, the silence was broken, and a dazzling space wave flashed between the two stone pillars.

Immediately afterwards, the fluctuations spread rapidly, and the force of space within them began to increase continuously.

The spatial fluctuations spun wildly between the stone pillars, stirring the surrounding air into chaos and forming a strong airflow.

As the rotation intensified, the waves began to twist and deform, like a huge energy vortex.

Spatial fluctuations swirled between the stone pillars like a gigantic energy vortex, and the surrounding air was whistling as it was swept away.

As the rotation became more intense, the spatial fluctuations began to distort, forming a spatial channel flashing with silver light between the stone pillars, which looked quite mysterious.

As soon as the space channel was opened, four streams of light rushed out from the other end like attracted meteors, cutting through the void and instantly blooming into four gorgeous rainbows of light on the lawn.

As the rainbow of light slowly dissipated, the figures of Xiao Ling, Qing Lin, Ning Yuxi and Su Li gradually appeared.

Standing still, Xiao Ling waved his hand casually, and the Sky-Splitting Seat in his sleeves swirled out like a black line, and his body quickly grew to ten feet long, circling in the air. Then, Xiao Ling jumped up, and stepped steadily on the back of the Sky-Splitting Seat with Qing Lin.

"Palace Master Su Li, Miss Ning Yuxi, just send them here. We will go on our own for the rest of the journey." Xiao Ling turned around, clasped his fists towards Su Li and Ning Yuxi, and said with a slight smile.

"The Dan Tower's thirty-year Dan Conference is coming soon. I will definitely attend the conference in person. If you two are free, you can come and watch."

Su Li tucked a strand of black hair behind her ear, smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Since Master Xiao Ling has asked me to come, I will naturally not refuse. I will definitely come to support Master Xiao Ling on behalf of Yin Valley. With Master Xiao Ling's current level of alchemy, it will be easy for him to win the championship of this alchemy competition. Even if the older generation of alchemists in Zhongzhou participate in this alchemy competition, I am afraid they will not be able to defeat Master Xiao Ling."

Ning Yuxi behind Su Li also nodded slightly, expressing her agreement with her master's words. After all, it would be a huge joke if an alchemist who could refine an eighth-grade nine-color elixir could not win the championship in the alchemy competition.

Hearing this, Xiao Ling's mouth corners slightly raised, his eyebrows showing the boldness and unruliness of a young man, his expression firm and confident, he said loudly,
"Of course. I, Xiao Ling, am determined to win the championship of this Alchemy Contest. In the past, our Xingyun Pavilion Medicine Master was able to refine an eighth-grade elixir and won the Alchemy Contest championship. He was a legend. As his junior, I should inherit his legacy and continue his glory. I will not be inferior to him."

“In this alchemy conference, I will go all out to display what I have learned and spread my name. After the conference, if a ninth-grade alchemist has not appeared in the world, I, Xiao Ling, will undoubtedly be the number one alchemist in this continent.” The young man had a slender and upright figure, standing proudly like a pine tree, firmly standing on the dragon head.

The strong wind howled and raged around him, as if it wanted to sweep everything up in it, but what the strong wind could not blow away was the young man's confident and high-spirited temperament, which was like substance, permeating in the air.

Behind him, a blazing sun hung high in the sky, continuously shedding endless light. The light seemed to have life, gently wrapping around the young man, as if he was covered with a dazzling, dreamy golden gauze.

Against the backdrop of this gauze dress, the young man looked like a god descending from heaven, radiating a light that could not be ignored, as dazzling as the brightest star in the night sky.

Once all eyes fall on him, they will be attracted like a magnet and can never be moved away.

Beside Xiao Ling, Qing Lin's beautiful eyes like emeralds were staring at Xiao Ling closely, her eyes full of obsession.

A feeling of infinite admiration emerged in the depths of her eyes, intertwined with strong love, as if the person in front of her was the only one in the world who could enter her heart and be reflected in her eyes.

Even Chu Wanqing and Ning Yuxi couldn't help but have a glimmer of wonder in their eyes when they saw Xiao Ling's high-spirited young man, and waves of admiration and appreciation spread out.

Coming back to her senses, Su Li looked at Xiao Ling with sincere admiration in her eyes. She looked solemn and spoke softly but with admiration: "Master Xiao Ling is so courageous! By then, I and Yu Xi will certainly look forward to witnessing the glorious moment when the master shines at the Alchemy Conference and wins the crown. That will surely be a grand scene that will attract worldwide attention."

"Haha, good! Goodbye, see you later." Xiao Ling smiled, clasped his hands together, and bowed solemnly. Then, he moved his mind slightly and gave the order to Liekongzu to set off.

A brilliant smile broke out on Qinglin's face, as bright as a blooming flower. She waved vigorously at Ning Yuxi, using this simple and sincere gesture as a farewell.

"Ow~"

Liekongzuo looked up to the sky and let out a deep and powerful dragon roar. The sound was like the sound of a huge bell, echoing in the valley for a long time.

Immediately, its slender and agile body twisted violently, like an arrow that had been accumulating energy for a long time, and instantly turned into a black stream of light.

The stream of light rushed towards the sky with an unstoppable momentum, and it seemed as if it was going to break through the clouds.

The slender figure left an extremely domineering black afterimage between heaven and earth, and then disappeared from the sight of Ning Yuxi and Su Li in the blink of an eye.

A moment later, Rayquaza's figure had disappeared, leaving only a long trail of cloud on the horizon, like a misty ribbon, proving that it had been there.

Slowly withdrawing her gaze from the edge of the sky, Su Li turned her eyes to Ning Yuxi beside her, and the words that the Great Elder had said to her not long ago emerged in her mind.

Her beautiful eyes rolled around with a hint of smile, and then she opened her red lips and said,

"Yuxi, what do you think of Master Xiao Ling? You two are of similar age, and you will definitely inherit the position of the Lord of Yin Valley in the future. In my opinion, you two are a match made in heaven. Master Xiao Ling is talented and magnanimous, and you are gentle, virtuous, and talented. Only someone as outstanding as him can be a good match for you."

Hearing her master's joking words, even Ning Yuxi, who usually had a calm personality, couldn't help but blush a little, and her eyes were filled with a trace of ripples.

However, she quickly suppressed this strange look, and it disappeared in a flash before she returned to her usual cold and aloof demeanor.

Ning Yuxi lowered her eyes slightly, then raised her head, with a serious and solemn expression on her face. She pursed her lips slightly, as if thinking carefully in her mind, and after a moment, she slowly responded:
"Master Xiao Ling is truly a rare talent. At such a young age, he has already achieved remarkable accomplishments and accomplishments. His talent is so high that he can be considered a leader in our time. I believe he will reach the top of the continent in the future. If Master hopes that Yu Xi can have some contact with him, Yu Xi would not mind."

Hearing the ambiguous answer from her disciple, Su Li raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. As a master, she knew very well that her disciple had always been pure and indifferent to love between men and women.

After a short pause, Su Li continued to ask: "Yuxi, from what you said, do you really have any special feelings for Master Xiao Ling?"

Ning Yuxi was slightly startled when she heard her master's question again, and then she thought quickly in her mind. She had no aversion to Xiao Ling, and even had some good feelings for him, but she had not yet reached the level of liking him. However, if she wanted to date him, she felt that there was nothing she could not accept.

If Xiao Ling took the initiative to pursue her, she would nod and agree, whether for the sake of the sect or the slight affection she had for him. But for her to take the initiative to date him, that was absolutely impossible.

After Ning Yuxi thought about it seriously in her mind, she originally planned to tell her master her inner thoughts directly without reservation.

However, at this moment, a sharp shout suddenly came from the side, abruptly interrupting their conversation.

"Su Li girl, it is inappropriate for you to teach your apprentice in this way. As the current master of Yin Valley, you should set an example and maintain the atmosphere of Yin Valley. If you continue to act like this, the good atmosphere that Yin Valley has inherited for many years may be destroyed. You need to reflect on yourself and pay attention to your behavior. Don't damage the reputation of Yin Valley because of a momentary thought."

When the two women heard the voice, they immediately stopped talking and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

Behind the two of them, a beautiful figure in white appeared. She stood there gracefully, as if she belonged to this place naturally from the beginning, blending perfectly with the surrounding environment without any sense of abruptness.

Seeing the face of this beautiful figure clearly, Su Li and Ning Yuxi were both stunned at the same time, and then they hurriedly bowed together and said respectfully, "Grand Elder."

Chu Wanqing's face, as white as mutton-fat jade, had no expression at all, like a deep and bottomless pool, making it impossible to peek into her inner emotions. She just stood there quietly, emitting a frosty aura.

"This matter ends here, and it will not happen again. If I find you doing this again, I will not let you off easily."

Her voice was cold, like the biting chill wind in the mountains. Every word echoed in the air, and every word was like a heavy hammer, striking Su Li and Ning Yuxi's hearts.

After saying this lightly, Chu Wanqing's figure began to gradually become illusory, like wisps of smoke, slowly dissipating in the breeze. At some point, she had completely disappeared from the sight of the two, leaving only Su Li and Ning Yuxi still there, stunned by her powerful aura and unable to recover for a long time.

There was silence all around, as if time had stopped at this moment. Only the chill brought by Chu Wanqing when she left was still lingering in the air.

The two looked at each other and saw a hint of confusion in each other's eyes.

Su Li frowned slightly, and whispered to herself with a puzzled look on her face: "What's wrong with the Grand Elder? I don't know why, but I seem to have heard some resentment in her previous words."

Ning Yuxi said softly: "Perhaps the Grand Elder thinks that what you said before was a little inappropriate."

"Is that so? But it is true. I shouldn't interfere too much in your emotional affairs." Su Li nodded subconsciously, and suddenly froze for a moment. Her face changed and she said, "No, the Grand Elder is back? This is the most important thing! Let's go back quickly."

Soon after, Su Li waved her sleeves, opened a space crack, and rushed towards the Sound Valley with Ning Yuxi... (End of this chapter)
