People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

This magic core with lightning attribute has blue and white arcs flowing on its surface, emitting heart-pounding energy fluctuations.

It came from the treasure house of Canaan College, and was acquired by Xiao Ling through the relationship with Elder Su Qian.

The quality of this seventh-level magic core is top-notch among its peers. It is of higher quality than the two seventh-level magic cores that Xiao Ling had obtained from the Dou Zun ruins before. It is an indispensable core part in the process of refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

As for the choice of soul, Xiao Ling had already made a decision. That was the guardian Wu who was living in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Over the years, all the soul bodies that Xiao Ling collected one after another were swallowed and integrated by the Guardian Wu, which made his strength continue to rise. Now he has reached the realm of Seven-Star Dou Zong.

Although Xiao Ling has never had the opportunity to let Guardian Wu demonstrate his strength in battle, the powerful soul of Guardian Wu can come in handy when he is refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

These three materials are undoubtedly the best options Xiao Ling currently has.

He took a deep breath, calmed his inner fluctuations one by one, then slowly sat down and began to adjust his breathing to ensure that his condition was perfect.

After the breathing adjustment, Xiao Ling suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were shining and full of energy.

The process of refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet is extremely difficult. It not only tests the refiner's mental concentration, but also requires precise control of every detail.

Xiao Ling knew this very well, so he focused all his attention and devoted all his energy, determined to make a concerted effort and strive for success in one go.

Xiao Ling clenched his palms tightly, and a sapphire blue flame emerged. He flicked his fingertips, and the flames, like a nimble dancer, lightly wrapped around the body of Dou Zun.

Under the scorching heat, the surface of the corpse quickly turned fiery red, as if it was injected with new vitality.

However, as the flames continued to burn, wisps of faint black gas escaped from the corpse. That was the corpse gas containing the subtle thoughts of the corpse's owner, and it turned into nothingness in the green flames.

If this corpse qi is not expelled, it will hinder the complete fusion of soul and body.

The refining of the Heavenly Demon Puppet requires the perfect fusion of the body, magic core, and soul. Therefore, the expulsion of corpse qi is crucial.

Xiao Ling skillfully controlled the temperature of the flame, forcing out the corpse qi without damaging the corpse. This process took him two and a half hours, until the last trace of corpse qi was completely purified.

When the last trace of corpse qi dissipated, Xiao Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief. He flicked his fingers and two powerful fighting qi shot out, creating fist-sized holes in the chest and forehead of the corpse.

No blood flowed out of the cave because all the blood had been evaporated in the previous tempering. This was a small step in refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

At this moment, Dou Zun's body has shrunk, and his skin has become a cold grayish-white color, tightly attached to the dry muscles. His palms have become slender and pointed, like sharp daggers.

Xiao Ling further tempered the corpse according to the records in the scroll. Then, he stretched out his hand and the seventh-level thunder attribute magic core came out and slowly fell into the small hole in the chest of the corpse, embedding perfectly.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling took out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner from the system space.

As soon as the Ten Thousand Souls Banner appeared, it exuded an eerie feeling, causing the temperature of the originally hot secret room to drop sharply.

Xiao Ling's mind moved, and a pitch-black soul body emerged from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and hovered in the air with a dull look in its eyes. It was the protector Wu.

Although the Ten Thousand Souls Banner had wiped out the mind of the Guardian Wu and met the requirements for refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet, in order to ensure that the refining of the Heavenly Demon Puppet was foolproof, Xiao Ling still used the strange fire to temper the soul of the Guardian Wu according to the method recorded on the bamboo slips.

During the entire tempering process, the soul of the Guardian Wu completely obeyed Xiao Ling's command without any reaction, which made Xiao Ling silently praise the effect of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his heart.

After refining the soul of the Iron Guardian, Xiao Ling glanced at the black mist on his palm, and then threw it lightly. The black mist turned into a black dragon and drilled into the hole on the forehead of the corpse like lightning. As the soul was injected, the eyes of the corpse suddenly opened, and there was no light in the dark pupils.

Xiao Ling was not surprised by this. He flicked his ten fingers, and a series of metal objects with strange luster flew out of the ring and floated in front of him. He nodded slightly, and a royal blue flame gushed out like a pillar of fire, and a suction force sucked the metal into it.

Under the high temperature of the strange fire, these metals began to melt, although it would take some time before they were completely melted.

Xiao Lingxin was doing two things at once, tempering the corpse at a constant temperature, and refining the metal at an extremely high temperature. This exquisite control of fire was a piece of cake for him who had practiced the "Dayan Jue".

He knew that this was not a task that could be completed in a short time, so he sat cross-legged on the cushion, closed his eyes, and quietly waited for the perfect moment.

……

In the heart of Canaan College, a lonely cabin is hidden in a lush forest. Far away from the hustle and bustle of the college, it is the perfect place to seek quiet practice.

The little medical fairy sat in the cabin, with the fragrance of herbs floating around her. The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows, adding a bit of peace to her tranquil temperament.

In this tranquility, her mind was not at peace.

As his cultivation improved, the poisonous energy in his body began to show signs of being difficult to control.

Little Medical Fairy felt that the poisonous gas in her body began to become slightly restless. It seemed to be testing the boundaries of its restraints, but was firmly suppressed by her cultivation.

She sighed softly and said to herself, "Ever since I broke through to the Dou Queen level, the poison in my body seems to be getting more and more difficult to control." Her brows were slightly furrowed, and a trace of worry flashed across her eyes.

In order to prevent the poison in her body from affecting others, Xiao Yixiang chose to leave Xiao Ling's courtyard and come to this quiet cabin to practice alone.

At Canaan College, Xiao Yixian seldom went out for a stroll, in order to prevent the poisonous gas in her body from suddenly getting out of control and leaking out.

For elders with higher cultivation, these poisonous gases may not be enough to cause a serious threat, but if ordinary students in the inner courtyard accidentally come into contact with them, the consequences will definitely be very serious.

After all, the poison gas released by the Evil Poison Body, even if it is not used intentionally to attack, is still incredibly powerful and far beyond what ordinary people can withstand.

She took a deep breath, slowly adjusted her practice rhythm, and tried to bring the restless poisonous energy back under control.

Time passed minute by minute, and Xiao Yixian's efforts were finally rewarded. The poison gradually subsided, and her mood also calmed down.

She breathed a sigh of relief, knowing in her heart that she would need to be more cautious in her future cultivation. Perhaps she needed to find a way to allow this power to coexist harmoniously with herself.

In between training sessions, Xiao Ling's figure could not help but appear in Little Medical Fairy's mind. Thinking of him, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on her face, which was half covered by a veil.

"Now that Xiao Ling has reached the Dou Zong realm, I can't fall behind." She encouraged herself silently in her heart, with a determined light flashing in her eyes, "I must become stronger. Only when I become strong enough can I fight alongside him and no longer be the me who always needs his protection."

……

Five days passed quietly, and the metal was finally refined into a dark golden liquid, releasing a mysterious luster as it flowed.

However, the perfect harmony of body, soul, and magic core has yet to come.

Xiao Ling was not impatient. He knew that impatience would only make the fleeting perfect moment slip away and lead to failure in refining.

Two and a half days later, Xiao Ling suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashed across his eyes, and he finally captured that perfect moment.

In the secret room, Xiao Ling quickly formed a strange seal, and with a low shout, the corpse trembled, and the soul in the brain was shattered by an invisible force, turning into countless tiny points of light and scattered to every part of the body.

At the same time, the magic core in the chest began to hum, and violent energy surged out and flowed along the meridians.

As the soul and magic core changed, the gray-white color on the surface of the corpse became darker, the size slowly shrank, and a majestic aura emanated from it.

Xiao Ling felt this momentum, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he moved his hand, pouring the dark golden solution onto the corpse.

The high-temperature metal solution came into contact with the corpse, and white mist burst out, but it did not cause any damage. After refining, the puppet's body strength has become extremely strong. Xiao Ling knew that the refining of this Heavenly Demon Puppet was almost complete.

Chapter 191 Refining

The soul power swept over the puppet's body like water waves, and the dark golden solution was slowly applied to every part of its body. For a moment, the smelly white mist continued to diffuse from the puppet's body. The hissing sound caused by the high temperature contacting the skin was quite creepy.

When all the solution was applied to the puppet's body, the cold gray-white color was replaced by a dark golden color. The golden light flickered, giving people a strange and extremely solid feeling.

Glancing at the puppet covered in the solution, Xiao Ling let out a breath, then waved his sleeves, and the strange fire surged out again, then completely wrapped the puppet, and the terrifying high temperature slowly seeped out...

As the high temperature continued to burn, the dark golden solution began to slowly erode into the puppet's skin. As the erosion intensified, the color of the puppet's body gradually began to change to silver, with a delicate luster, like flowing moonlight. It looked like it was made of pure silver.

Looking at the puppet that had changed color to silver, Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and muttered to himself: "Silver? An earth-level demon puppet, not bad."

According to the records in the bamboo slips, the celestial demon puppets are divided into three categories: heaven, earth, and man. The best way to distinguish these three categories is to look at their skin color. Heaven is gold, earth is silver, and man is copper. The color displayed by this puppet now is obviously the second of the three categories.

Xiao Ling had actually anticipated that the body of this Dou Zun powerful warrior could not be directly refined into a Heavenly Demon Puppet, so he did not feel too disappointed.

The scorching flames did not stop, and the terrifying high temperature continued to seep out, turning the dark golden solution into the puppet's skin and dry muscles slowly.

The method of refining this so-called "Heavenly Demon Puppet" is to use these metal materials to transform the strength of a person's body. If it were a living person, he would probably explode and die on the spot after being tortured like this. However, this puppet, without any pain or feeling, can ignore this incomparable pain. Therefore, if the refining is successful.

Although the puppet does not understand the art of fighting, its body alone is the perfect killing weapon.

As the dark gold solution was gradually absorbed by the puppet, its skin, which originally had a silvery luster, suddenly began to glow with golden light.

The silver and golden light interweave, like the brightest stars in the night sky, appearing extremely mysterious and gorgeous.

Xiao Ling's eyes were fixed on the puppet. He noticed that subtle golden lines were gradually emerging beneath the silver skin.

The appearance of these golden lines not only adds a mysterious charm to the puppet, but also indicates that it is gradually approaching the highest realm of the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

As the dark golden solution was slowly and completely absorbed by the puppet, a powerful aura suddenly burst out from its body.

Xiao Ling took back the strange fire, and he reacted quickly by releasing a layer of soul power barrier to cover up the powerful aura and prevent it from spreading.

……

In Xiao Ling's courtyard, the night deepened and the stars dotted the sky. Han Yue, Xiao Yixian, Zi Yan, and Qing Lin sat in the pavilion, laughing and chatting happily.

The moonlight was like water, shining through the gaps in the pavilion and onto them, bringing a hint of coolness, but also adding a bit of tranquility and peace. The fragrance of the flowers around them was even more subtle in the night breeze, accompanied by the chirping of insects, creating a different atmosphere.

Although everyone had heard about Han Yue's impending departure, the atmosphere in the courtyard remained relaxed and lively, without much sadness or parting. They believed that this separation was only temporary, and that they would be together again one day in the future.

Zi Yan swallowed a pill and asked casually, "Why hasn't Xiao Ling come out yet? More than a week has passed. What gift is he preparing?" There was a hint of curiosity and confusion in her voice.

Qing Lin guessed, his eyes flashing with admiration for Xiao Ling's skills: "I think it might be a pill. After all, the young master is best at refining medicine. He spent so much time, so the pill he prepared for Sister Han Yue must be of high quality."

Xiao Yixiang shook her head, with a gleam of wisdom in her eyes: "You may have guessed wrong. Before Xiao Ling entered the secret room, he went to the Demon Flame Valley. The gift he prepared should be related to that place." Her voice was low and full of mystery, which made people look forward to Xiao Ling's gift.

The three girls' eyes involuntarily turned to Han Yue, their curiosity was evident. Qing Lin couldn't help but ask, "Sister Han Yue, did the young master tell you what the gift is?"

Han Yue shook her head helplessly and said with a smile, "I know nothing either. Xiao Ling always likes to give people surprises, and this time is probably no exception." Her words revealed her trust and expectations for Xiao Ling, as well as a hint of sweet shyness.

Seeing Han Yue's expression, Zi Yan suddenly asked out of the blue, "Han Yue, what is your relationship with Xiao Ling?" Her question made the originally relaxed atmosphere instantly become a little subtle, and the air in the pavilion seemed to freeze.

Han Yue's smile froze slightly, and her expression was a little unnatural. She avoided Zi Yan's gaze and gently stroked the edge of the teacup with her fingers. She did not answer, but this tacit attitude and the complex emotions that flashed in her eyes were enough to make Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian realize the unusual relationship between her and Xiao Ling.

Qinglin looked at Han Yue's complicated expression, and envy welled up in her heart. She imagined how happy she would be if she could also get Xiao Ling's favor. She bit her lips lightly, a trace of desire flashed in her eyes, but then she smiled and shook her head, hiding the envy deep in her heart.

Zi Yan touched her arm uncomfortably. She felt that compared with Han Yue, her figure was too petite and inconspicuous. She did not have the charm that Han Yue had to attract Xiao Ling.

She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart and sighed secretly. She made up her mind that from now on, she would work harder to take medicinal herbs and strive to recover her adult body as soon as possible.

Xiao Yixian sat quietly aside, but was secretly calculating in her heart. She knew that the relationship between her and Xiao Ling was still in an unclear state, but she had her own plans and ambitions.

Xiao Yixian had already started to plot in her mind. She made up her mind that the next time the right opportunity came, she would try to completely capture Xiao Ling.

A barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and a determined light flashed in her eyes.

Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, the sound of footsteps approaching from afar broke the silence in the pavilion.

Everyone looked over and saw Xiao Ling's figure slowly appearing at the entrance of the pavilion with a gentle smile on his face.

Chapter 192 The Eve of Parting

Xiao Ling's footsteps sounded softly outside the pavilion, and his figure walked into the courtyard slowly.

His arrival seemed to bring a breath of fresh air, instantly easing the awkward atmosphere in the pavilion.

"Haha, it looks like you're having a great chat." Xiao Ling's voice was gentle and magnetic. His eyes swept across everyone's faces, finally stopping on Han Yue's face, and he gave her a warm smile.

Zi Yan, Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian all smiled a little embarrassedly. They knew that Xiao Ling had heard the previous conversation, but Xiao Ling did not mention that aspect. Instead, he changed the subject.
