"Hmm? This guy is quite interesting. Even I can't quite figure him out."

The old man was slightly stunned, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. As a Dou Sheng, he had his perception blocked. This was the first time in history.

But he didn't care much about it. He just guessed that some powerful person might have done something to this kid.

He smiled softly and withdrew his probing gaze. "Sure enough, possessing a sub-fire of the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame, this kid's background is not simple."

After all, the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame is a rare fire inherited by that force. Although the origin of this seed fire is not much, less than one percent of the original fire, but being able to possess it means that this kid has a close relationship with that force.

However, the old man did not take this matter too seriously. In his opinion, these young people have not yet reached the level of Dou Sheng, and they are just making small moves after all.

At the same time, Xiao Ling's brows frowned involuntarily. He keenly caught a subtle hint of prying, and this feeling made him feel a little uneasy.

"Xiao Ling, someone was secretly observing you just now, but I stopped him in time."

The voice of the Ancestral Stone Spirit rang out in Xiao Ling's mind, still so calm, without a single ripple.

"According to my perception, the strength of the person investigating is roughly equivalent to the Dou Sheng level of your Dou Qi Continent, and is on par with the strong men in our Tianxuan Continent who have just entered the Samsara Realm. But don't worry, he doesn't seem to have any ill will towards you, and has stopped now."

The words of the Ancestral Stone Spirit made Xiao Ling relax a little, and he roughly understood the situation. It seemed that the noise he made was too loud, and he accidentally alerted the Fire Cloud Ancestor deep in the Burning Flame Valley.

Xiao Ling thought that he had no connection with Fenyan Valley and he even helped them this time. Logically, Patriarch Huoyun would not have any ill will towards him, so he did not need to worry too much.

"Don't worry, I can guess who that person is. He won't have any bad intentions towards us." Xiao Ling nodded slightly and murmured to himself. Then, he changed the subject and asked with concern: "Yan, how is your injury now? Are those pills helpful to you?"

"Well, those pills do have some effect on me, thank you." The voice of the Ancestral Stone Spirit was filled with a barely perceptible joy, "Give me a little more time, I should be able to help you prepare your destiny talisman. By then, I will be able to guide you on the path of a true talisman master and become the number one talisman master in the Douqi Continent."

"No problem, you just focus on healing first. I still have some small things to take care of here. There's no rush for the natal talisman, let's take our time." Xiao Ling said as he nodded, and after a few brief words to the spirit of the ancestral stone, he ended the conversation.

Because, at this moment, in the sky above his head, thunder was gathering, and the rumbling thunder seemed to be foreshadowing the coming of a thunder disaster.

Xiao Ling didn't want to be struck by thunder at this time, so he had to be prepared quickly, otherwise being struck by lightning would be no joke.

Sure enough, after a few seconds, the thunderclouds in the sky began to surge, and a thick lightning bolt, like an angry python, gathered towards the center little by little, as if accumulating strength. It was about to strike suddenly, releasing the thunder that was ready to strike.

Seeing this, the alchemists around were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. They were even more nervous than Xiao Ling, the master. Some alchemists were so anxious that they jumped up and down, shouting loudly: "Quick, quick, Master Tang, please take action! This is an eighth-grade pill, we can't let it be destroyed by the pill thunder!"

Without anyone reminding him, Tang Zhen was already ready to go. He flashed and turned into a dazzling red light, heading straight for the pill thunder that was about to fall.

His laughter was like thunder, extremely heroic: "Haha, Master Xiao Ling, let me deal with this pill thunder! You have worked hard to refine the pill, now you can take a break."

Tang Zhen was full of confidence. In his opinion, the previous pause was because Xiao Ling was going to use some means, so there shouldn't be any mistakes this time.

Besides, this eighth-grade pill thunder was as powerful as the attack of a Dou Zun strongman. Apart from him, a five-star Dou Zun, no one else present could deal with it easily.

Tang Zhen's eyes were determined at this moment, and the aura of a Dou Zun strong man was displayed to the fullest, and he was ready to meet the challenge of this thunder tribulation.

"Master Tang, don't take action. These pill thunders are good for me."

Just as Tang Zhen was about to show off his skills, Xiao Ling's voice came from below. His words were like an invisible force that instantly stopped Tang Zhen's movements in mid-air.

This is the pill thunder caused by an eighth-grade elixir. Wouldn't it be a pity if Tang Zhen were to solve it like this?

Before Xiao Ling went into seclusion to practice, he had already refined several Heavenly Demon Puppets. These puppets still have a lot of potential to be explored, and if they want to grow into more powerful beings, the lightning energy they need is not a small amount. This Dan Lei is just a great gift for them.

I remember that in Xingyun Pavilion, the lightning produced by Yao Chen when refining the elixir was blocked by the Heavenly Demon Puppet made by Xiao Ling. The lightning energy was not wasted at all, and was absorbed by the puppets. Now Xingyun Pavilion has cultivated several Heavenly Demon Puppets that have reached the high-level Dou Zun level.

Xiao Ling waved his hand lightly and released a golden puppet. This Heavenly Demon Puppet was one of the weaker puppets, roughly equivalent to the peak of a one-star Dou Zun. This was the least impressive of the several Heavenly Demon Puppet that Xiao Ling brought out when he left Xingyun Pavilion.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a deafening thunder erupted in the sky. A silver-white lightning circled in the sky and swooped down directly above the medicine cauldron in an instant.

Xiao Ling's eyes condensed, and his mind quickly conveyed the order. A sharp cold light flashed in the empty eyes of the demon puppet. Then, it stepped hard on the ground, and the whole person suddenly soared into the sky like a cannonball, heading straight for the thunder.

Under the gaze of the crowd, the dazzling golden figure was like a rising meteor, fearlessly facing the silver-white thunder that was circling down like a giant python.

"Bang! Boom! Boom!"

The fists kept swinging out, leaving afterimages, easily smashing the falling thunder. The golden figure was like a god of war descending to the earth, fighting against the sky. The thunderclouds seemed to feel the provocation and began to pour down thunder crazily.

The roars came one after another, like explosions in the ears. Everyone stared at the falling lightning, the atmosphere was so tense that people couldn't help but hold their breath and their heartbeats accelerated.

The golden figure seemed to be unaware of fatigue and pain. He stood on the void and looked up at the sky, as if declaring his supreme dominance to the heaven and earth.

Just like that, thunders came one after another and were shattered one by one. They fell and were destroyed again. This not only did not destroy the golden figure, but it seemed to be baptized by thunder, making it even more dazzling.

Tang Zhen, who had been watching the situation quietly and waiting for an opportunity to act, now stared at the demon puppet with wide eyes in surprise. Not only was the puppet indestructible and powerful, it could also absorb the power of thunder and improve its quality step by step.

For an alchemist, this is like getting a divine weapon. The most feared thing for a senior alchemist is that the elixir he has worked so hard to make will be destroyed by the bombardment of heavenly thunder. But with this Heavenly Demon Puppet, he no longer has to worry about the elixir he has worked so hard to make being destroyed by the thunder.

"It seems that the title of the eighth-grade alchemy master is not given in vain. He must have a life-saving treasure in his hand. Otherwise, how dare Xingyun Pavilion let him run around alone." Tang Zhen came back to his senses and couldn't help but smile at himself, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

He tried to attack twice in a row but was stopped each time. This made Tang Zhen feel like he was hanging in mid-air, neither going up nor down, which was extremely uncomfortable.

He thought that he had to find a place to vent his anger, so he decided to go to the Scorching Fire Mountains and kill a few monsters to release the depression in his heart.

At the edge of the square, the alchemists stared at Xiao Ling's Heavenly Demon Puppet with wide eyes, full of envy. But they knew in their hearts that they dared not even think about it. After all, no one wanted to die.

After about ten minutes, the thunder in the sky finally stopped, and the two clouds of disaster, interwoven with gold and silver colors, seemed to slowly disperse unwillingly.

At the same time, a strong fragrance of elixir spread out, which made people feel relaxed and happy, as if they were floating in the air.

Chapter 375: Finally Obtained the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire

The Sky Demon Puppet landed steadily on the ground. At this moment, its aura had already risen to the second star of Dou Zun. Xiao Ling waved his hand casually and put it into the storage ring.

Turning his eyes to the Mountain-Ronging Cauldron, he saw the crimson elixir inside spinning, jumping, and moving. It was round and full, with mysterious and gorgeous patterns engraved on its surface, and exuding an enticing medicinal fragrance.

Spiritual energy swirled around the elixir, vaguely forming the image of a ferocious giant turtle.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling waved his hand gently, and a suction force instantly surged from his palm. The Fire Bodhi Pill flew out along the fire mouth and fell directly into Xiao Ling's palm.

As the pill was in hand, the rich fragrance of the pill gradually dissipated in the air, as if it had never appeared.

This scene made the onlookers around feel a little regretful. They knew that they might never have the chance to take such an eighth-grade elixir in their lifetime, but being able to smell the faint fragrance of the elixir was also a kind of enjoyment.

At this moment, Tang Zhen led Tang Huoer and a group of alchemists and flew over from a distance, heading straight for the center of the square where Xiao Ling was.

When Xiao Ling saw them approaching, he casually took out a mutton-fat jade bottle from his storage ring and carefully put the Fire Bodhi Pill into the bottle.

Then, he threw it gently, and the jade bottle drew an arc in the air and landed steadily on the flying Tang Zhen. Xiao Ling stretched himself leisurely and relaxed his body.

Seeing Xiao Ling throw away the eighth-grade elixir so casually, the people around him couldn't help but feel nervous. If they had the eighth-grade elixir in their hands, they would definitely keep it carefully for fear of any mishap. They wouldn't be as careless as Xiao Ling.

But on second thought, Xiao Ling is a true eighth-grade alchemist. To him, eighth-grade elixirs may be like commonplace. His casualness is indeed speechless.

"Valley Master Tang, come and take a look at the quality of this pill." Xiao Ling watched Tang Zhen take the pill steadily, smiled and took the little mink on his shoulder back into his arms, and said softly.

Although Tang Zhen's main occupation was not refining medicine, with the power of the Nine Dragon Thunder Fire, he also had the strength of a sixth-grade alchemist, and his eyesight in appreciating elixirs was naturally not bad. He first took a deep breath of the fragrance of the elixir, and then carefully observed the luster of the elixir, and then couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahaha, Master Xiao Ling, you really deserve to be the youngest master of alchemy! You can upgrade a seventh-grade elixir to the eighth-grade realm. This kind of method is something I, Tang Zhen, have never seen in my life! Your alchemy skills are indeed unique!"

The alchemists behind Tang Zhen nodded their heads one by one, and every word they said was filled with admiration for Xiao Ling, and the respect almost overflowed from their eyes.

"Yes, yes, this is a stroke of genius."

"Master Xiao Ling, your skills are simply amazing, and your medicine refining level is really convincing."

"I think Master Xiao Ling has great potential. He is definitely on his way to becoming a ninth-grade alchemy master. His future achievements are limitless."

Xiao Ling just smiled lightly at these compliments, seeming quite indifferent. Over the years, he had heard so many similar compliments that his ears were almost calloused.

Then, Xiao Ling turned his gaze to Tang Zhen and said with a smile: "Valley Master Tang Zhen, do you still keep your promise? Can you let me see the unique skills of Burning Flame Valley, the practice method of the Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire?"

As Xiao Ling spoke, he waved his hand casually, and the Mountain Melting Cauldron was obediently stored in the storage ring given by Xun'er. Obviously, he took Tang Zhen's words before refining the medicine seriously.

Tang Zhen saw this scene, and his face did not show any unhappy expression. This was one of his plans, to establish friendship with Xiao Ling. Now that Xiao Ling accepted the Shan Rong Ding, he felt relieved instead.

After all, for an alchemist, the closest companions are the medicine cauldron and the fire of alchemy. If Xiao Ling often uses the Mountain Melting Cauldron when refining pills, he will naturally think of the kindness of Burning Flame Valley from time to time.

Then, Tang Zhen bowed slightly to Xiao Ling and said with a smile: "Master Xiao Ling, your elixir was so successful, we at Fenyan Valley must fulfill our promise. Please come with me..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Zhen turned around and had a brief exchange with the alchemists around him, and then signaled several disciples of Fenyan Valley to arrange the rest of the matters.

Afterwards, Tang Zhen politely extended his hand and made a "please" gesture, then walked in front to lead Xiao Ling.

When Xiao Ling saw this, he stood up and followed. Tang Huoer, who was standing next to him, seemed to have been waiting for a while. When she saw Xiao Ling move, she also walked lightly to his side.

As she approached, a faint fragrance wafted away, and Xiao Ling couldn't help but turn his head to take a look.

Tang Huoer was wearing a fiery red long skirt, the cut of which perfectly outlined her graceful figure and swayed gently with her steps, like a dancing flame.

Her soft red hair was as smooth as silk and fell to her waist, each strand shining in the sun. Her fair face was as delicate as if it was carefully carved, and her eyebrows and eyes revealed a beauty that was hard to ignore.

Her bright eyes and straight nose add a touch of heroic spirit to her, making her look feminine yet strong.

At this moment, Tang Huoer had an obvious look of relief on his face, probably because his life was guaranteed and he could finally put down the stone in his heart.

"Master Xiao Ling, I, Huo'er, am really grateful to you for your help this time. I may have been a little rude if I didn't recognize you when we were in Tianhuang City. I would like to apologize to you here." Tang Huo'er walked to Xiao Ling and spoke proactively.

Her eyes fell on Xiao Ling's face which was so close to her. Somehow, Tang Huoer's cheeks flushed slightly and her heart was a little confused.

"After not seeing him for a year, this guy seems to be even more handsome." She thought to herself, her heart beating faster unconsciously.

"Haha, Miss Huo'er, we just had a small exchange at that time. It's no big deal at all. You don't need to take it too seriously." Xiao Ling responded with a chuckle, his tone revealing a casualness. Indeed, he didn't care much about that matter.

After hearing what Xiao Ling said, Tang Huo'er obviously relaxed. She was secretly worried that her previous reckless behavior would leave a bad impression on Xiao Ling. After all, that kind of start was not what she expected.

Xiao Ling's tolerance made Tang Huoer feel much brighter. She smiled, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

"Master Xiao Ling, I heard that you were already a Dou Zong-level expert a year ago. After this year, what level of cultivation have you reached?"

Tang Huoer asked curiously. She had recently accepted the inheritance of the Burning Flame Valley. Although she had not yet completely succeeded in subduing the Nine Dragons Thunder Flame, her cultivation had indeed improved significantly and she had already broken through to Dou Zong. Naturally, she also wanted to know the gap between herself and Xiao Ling.

"For more than a year, I have focused my main energy on alchemy, so my progress in cultivation is not that great. I have only advanced one level, which is naturally incomparable to your improvement."

Xiao Ling replied with a smile, responding casually. This is true, from the Nine-Star Dou Zong to the Dou Zun, for him, it is indeed just an improvement in realm.

"Master Xiao Ling, you have done a great job. It would take a few years for most people to advance from Dou Zong to one star. Moreover, you have to take care of alchemy at the same time. You are busy with both, so your energy is naturally limited."

Tang Huoer misunderstood Xiao Ling's meaning, thinking that he had only improved a small stage of Dou Zong, so she said this.

Generally speaking, if a Dou Zong-level cultivator can improve one star in a year, it is already a pretty good speed. But for a peerless demon like Xiao Ling, this seems a bit inconsistent with his level.

Tang Huo'er guessed that he might be devoted to alchemy. After all, over the past year or so, there was an endless stream of people coming to Xingyun Pavilion to ask for eighth-grade elixirs. Xiao Ling must have spent a lot of effort on alchemy.

As for the fact that an eighth-grade elixir was refined in just over a day like today, Tang Huoer knew in her heart that Xiao Ling must have used some unique secret technique to improve the quality of the elixir.

Obviously, this method cannot be used every time and cannot be regarded as a regular method of alchemy.

Regarding this topic, Xiao Ling just smiled faintly and did not continue speaking.

Tang Zhen, who was walking in front, glanced back inadvertently and saw Xiao Ling and Tang Huoer talking and laughing. His expression couldn't help but become a little subtle.

As a father, he knew his daughter's personality very well. She rarely acted so relaxed and friendly in front of men other than him.
