People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

"Congratulations, you can refine an eighth-grade elixir at the age of 18. This is an achievement worth bragging about for the rest of your life." Xiao Ling supported Cao Ying and said jokingly with a relaxed smile on his face.

Cao Ying's mood gradually calmed down. She turned her head and her eyes fell on Xiao Ling's handsome face that was enough to make many women fall in love at first sight.

She raised a pure and charming smile and replied softly, "Don't laugh at me. If it weren't for the soul-enhancing pill you gave me and your help, I would have struggled to refine a seventh-grade pill."

"You gave me a satisfactory reward, that pill, so this can be considered mutually beneficial," Xiao Ling shook his head slightly, and continued, "With your current peak mortal realm soul power, coupled with your talent, it is only a matter of time before you are promoted to the spiritual realm. When you reach that stage, with your medicine refining skills, refining an eighth-grade pill will definitely be a piece of cake."

As Xiao Ling spoke, he casually waved his hand and summoned his Heavenly Demon Puppet. This puppet, which was gleaming with a brilliant golden luster, immediately appeared beside him, appearing particularly eye-catching.

"go."

Upon receiving the order, the Sky Demon Puppet did not hesitate at all. Its figure instantly turned into a golden light and rushed straight into the sky, heading towards the pill thunders that struck down from the dark clouds.

The Heavenly Demon Puppet's movements were swift and accurate. Every time it attacked, it intercepted the lightning just right, absorbing them one by one and using them for its own benefit.

Under the dark cloud-covered sky, thunder and lightning intertwined, and energy spread like a tide, forming a scene that made people palpitate. The clamor in the sky was so intense that it seemed as if the whole world was shaking.

But under this wild energy impact, the two people on the ground seemed unusually calm, as if the raging energy was just a breeze to them.

Apart from the rustling of their robes caused by the overflowing air currents, they were hardly affected at all.

Leaning in Xiao Ling's warm embrace, Cao Ying quietly looked up at the thunderclouds rolling in the sky.

A faint smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth, as if she was moved by this spectacular natural scene.

As the breeze blew gently, Cao Ying withdrew her gaze from the sky, raised her hand, and gently stroked Xiao Ling's cheek.

At this moment, Cao Ying's heart was filled with an unprecedented emotion. She didn't quite understand the origin of this emotion, but she knew that the man in front of her had been deeply imprinted in her heart and could not be erased...

Chapter 332 Arrival at Yecheng

Xiao Ling was concentrating on observing every move of the Heavenly Demon Puppet, but suddenly he felt a gentle touch on his face, which made him a little confused.

He lowered his head, trying to figure out this sudden feeling, but at that moment, a thin and somewhat charming face appeared in his sight.

Then, Xiao Ling felt something soft covering his lips, and at the same time, a faint scent of a girl's body lingered around his nose.

It all happened too fast and too suddenly. Xiao Ling didn't pay any attention to Cao Ying at all, so even Xiao Ling was caught off guard.

When he was stunned for a moment, he came to his senses and their lips had already gently parted.

Before Xiao Ling could speak first, Cao Ying had already stood up from his arms lightly. She stood in front of Xiao Ling, stretched out a slender finger and gently pressed it against his lips.

"Don't get me wrong," Cao Ying looked at Xiao Ling's slightly confused eyes and tried to make her voice sound calm, even though she was not as calm as she appeared.

"You helped me refine an eighth-grade elixir. That kiss is my reward to you. It has no other meaning." She said as she looked away, with an imperceptible tremor in her voice.

She was always so calm and confident in front of others, but at this moment, that calmness seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

"Well, thank you very much. I like this reward very much." Xiao Ling did not want to embarrass Cao Ying anymore and continued with what she said.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle, and both of them fell silent for a while, not knowing what to say.

At this moment, the Sky Demon Puppet successfully dealt with the two-colored Dan Lei in the sky. Its figure flashed a golden light in the air and landed steadily beside Xiao Ling.

The commotion caused by this just broke the awkwardness between the two of them.

Upon seeing this, Cao Ying quickly regained his composure and realized that the eighth-grade elixir he had just concentrated on refining was still floating in the air.

Then, Cao Ying waved her hand lightly, and the eighth-grade pill that had just been refined was summoned in front of her.

The elixir was quietly suspended, emitting a strong elixir fragrance, surrounded by a faint spiritual mist, almost condensing into substance.

Although the seventh-grade and eighth-grade elixirs are similar in appearance, even people who know nothing about alchemy can see the significant difference between them at a glance. This difference lies in the spirituality of the elixir.

Although the seventh-grade elixir is full of energy, it lacks vitality, just like a lifeless stone. The eighth-grade elixir is completely different. It already has its own unique spirituality, as if it has been given life. Such elixir can be called a living elixir, or a magical elixir.

In front of Cao Ying, the faint spiritual mist around the eighth-grade elixir slowly swirled. Surprisingly, the mist gradually condensed into the image of a fox.

Looking at the little fox that was transformed from the elixir in front of her, Cao Ying's eyes were full of surprise and love. She stretched out her fair hand and gently stroked the little fox's head.

The little fox seemed to feel Cao Ying's kindness, or knew that it was refined by Cao Ying, so it did not dodge. Instead, it felt very comfortable under her touch and squinted its eyes, as if enjoying the tenderness of the moment.

After looking at the little fox for a while, Cao Ying put it away. Then, she turned her head and looked at Xiao Ling who had been looking at her, and a blush appeared on her face.

But soon, she regained her usual calmness, although it might have seemed a little forced.

"I'm leaving first. Refining an eighth-grade elixir is a big deal for me. I have to report to my teacher." Cao Ying said with a hint of excitement in her tone.

"Okay, go ahead. Your teacher will definitely be pleased to hear that you have refined an eighth-grade elixir." Xiao Ling responded with a smile.

Cao Ying nodded and said nothing more. She was so excited about refining the eighth-grade elixir that her brain was a little short-circuited, so her actions just now were a little impulsive, and she actually took the initiative to kiss Xiao Ling.

Thinking back to her behavior just now, Cao Ying felt that she was really ridiculous. Thinking of this, would Xiao Ling think that she was too casual? If she wanted to kiss, it should be Xiao Ling who took the initiative to kiss her.

The more Cao Ying thought about this matter, the more she felt that her actions just now were a bit reckless.

She decided not to hesitate any more, so she hurriedly said hello to Xiao Ling and left quickly. In a flash, she disappeared from Xiao Ling's sight.

Watching Cao Ying leave in a hurry, Xiao Ling couldn't help but stroke his lips, as if he was still savoring the tenderness of the kiss just now. He whispered to himself with a hint of playful smile:

"This little devil, he talks so powerfully, but I didn't expect that he would be so shy at the critical moment..."

At this moment, a strong smell of heat suddenly surged out of a room in the courtyard, like the heat wave before a volcanic eruption, but soon the smell was cleverly restrained.

Xiao Ling noticed this scene and thought to himself: "It seems that Venerable Skyfire has completed his training. This aura may have recovered to the realm of five-star Dou Zun. It's time to go to the Ye family and condense a poison pill for Xian'er." His eyes were cast towards the room where the aura came from. That was the place where Venerable Skyfire practiced.

Just as Xiao Ling expected, a moment later, the door slowly opened and a man in a red robe walked out with a happy look on his face.

Apparently, Skyfire Venerable also felt Xiao Ling's gaze. He turned his head and his eyes met Xiao Ling's. Then, he moved, and the air around him twisted slightly. The next moment, he appeared beside Xiao Ling, and the smile on his face could not hide his inner excitement.

"Haha, Senior Tianhuo, it seems that you have recovered to your peak condition. Congratulations." Xiao Ling said with a smile.

"Haha, that Fuling Qingdan is indeed magical. It has restored my cultivation to the peak state of a five-star Dou Zun. I have to thank you very much." Skyfire Venerable was in a good mood, and his tone was generous. "What are your plans next? I will follow your arrangements from now on."

"Since Senior Tianhuo has come out of retreat, we will not stay in Shengdan City any longer. Xian'er should also be coming out soon. After she finishes her training, we will go directly to the Ye family to help Xian'er condense the poison pill." Xiao Ling nodded, with a hint of anticipation in his tone.

It has been more than a year since the last time the poison in Xiao Yixian's body erupted. Now it is time to solve the side effects of her poisonous body as soon as possible...

……

Two days later, Xiao Yixian finally ended her retreat.

After taking the rare poison that Xiao Ling had carefully prepared for her, her cultivation surged like a spring, and she eventually successfully broke through to the Nine-Star Dou Zong realm.

Although she could have continued to practice with the help of those poisons, breaking through to the Dou Zun level was only a matter of time, but at the moment, condensing the poison pill was obviously more urgent.

Therefore, Xiao Yixian did not choose to continue her retreat, but instead prepared to eat the poison pill condensed for herself.

Immediately, Xiao Ling summoned Xiao Yixian and other companions, and the group set foot directly on the space wormhole heading towards Yecheng.

……

During Xiao Ling's journey to Yecheng, his name quietly appeared on the kill list of some people in the Soul Palace.

It was a huge, pitch-black palace, its size was intimidating, and the overall black and gray tones exuded a depressing atmosphere.

Inside the hall, there stood many black stone pillars more than ten feet high. Each pillar was engraved with strange runes. These runes occasionally flickered in the dim light, as if countless eyes were peeping in the dark, giving people a gloomy and solemn feeling.

There were many chains wrapped around these stone pillars, and at the end of each chain was a ball of light. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the balls of light contained souls with their eyes closed.

The chains tightly bound the necks of these souls, and it seemed that some kind of power was being extracted from their bodies along the chains. The whole scene was filled with a mysterious and terrifying atmosphere.

The space suddenly fluctuated, and three figures appeared silently on the three stone pillars.

"Hehehe, Star-Picking Lord, what can you do for us?" asked a figure in a black robe.

The old man in the lead was wearing grey and white clothes. He waved his hand and two pieces of paper flew towards the other two.

The two took the piece of paper and saw a picture of an extremely handsome man on it, with two big words written next to it - Xiao Ling.

"His whereabouts and information are all on the back. The mission is to bring him back to the Soul Palace, regardless of life or death if necessary." The old ghost Zhaixing's voice was without a trace of emotion.

One of them looked at the information on the back and frowned slightly: "According to what is written here, this kid named Xiao Ling is only a Dou Zong, right? Although he has outstanding talent, it shouldn't be enough for the two of us elders to take action, right?"

The people of the Soul Palace were no strangers to the strong bullying the weak and the majority bullying the minority, but to deal with a young man at the Dou Zong level, it seemed unnecessary to directly send out two elders.

After all, each of them has his own tasks and affairs to deal with. In their opinion, sending out an elder is more than enough to deal with such a young man who has not yet broken through the Dou Zun level.

"Hmph! This is an order from above. In order to ensure that everything goes well, this is the safest plan. If I didn't have other important matters to attend to, I would go there in person. Stop talking nonsense. You know the consequences if you fail to complete the mission!" The old man who picked the stars snorted coldly, his tone firm.

The two exchanged glances, then put away their previous carelessness and nodded seriously.

"Hehe, it's quite fun to be able to deal with such a peerless genius." There was a hint of sinisterness in the laughter of one of them.

"The soul body of an eighth-grade alchemist is a considerable gain." Another person echoed.

The two men looked very confident, as if they had already regarded the upcoming task as an easy task.

……

Here is a broad stone platform, which is made of snow-white rocks, giving people a solemn and extraordinary feeling.

The space here is completely different from other places and seems extremely chaotic.

On this stone platform, the space was severely distorted, as if being pulled by some invisible force. In some places, one could even see dark cracks spreading, revealing a mysterious and dangerous atmosphere.

Xiao Ling and others landed on the stone platform. They exchanged glances with each other and then looked towards the distant horizon together.

There, a huge city loomed on the horizon, covered with a layer of dark green vegetation, like a green behemoth sleeping on the earth.

"This should be Yecheng, it looks quite grand. Although it is not as good as Shengdan City, it looks much more prosperous than other cities in Zhongzhou." The Little Medical Fairy looked at the city in front of her with a hint of anticipation in her tone.

Even the Little Medical Fairy couldn't help feeling a little excited when she thought about completely solving the side effects of the evil poison body.

"After all, the Ye family is one of the five major families in Danta. Although it has gradually declined over the years, the family's prestige is still there. Ye City, which is managed by the Ye family, naturally has its own unique features."

Xiao Ling smiled slightly, with a hint of smile in his voice.

After a few casual chats, Xiao Ling and his companions did not stay here for long and flew towards Yecheng.

The departure of the four people naturally caused exclamations from everyone near the space wormhole.

Except for the Venerable Skyfire, everyone else looks young, especially Xiao Ling, Qing Lin and Little Medical Fairy. They have reached the realm of Dou Zong at a young age and have unlimited potential in the future.

Xiao Ling and the others were not affected by the discussions around them, but just concentrated on moving towards Yecheng.

Yecheng is located on an open plain, surrounded by lush forests.

Wide roads extend from the forest like veins, stretching to the end of the sight.

The ruler of this city is the Ye family, which was once famous in the Dan domain.

Although the Ye family is not as glorious as it used to be, as the saying goes, "a lean camel is bigger than a horse", there is still no force in Yecheng that dares to challenge the authority of the Ye family.

The Ye family is entrenched in the most central area of ​​the city, and all of their manors are within a kilometer radius.
