Xiao Ling took the ancient prescription that Hai Bodong handed over reluctantly with a smile. He glanced at it and the smile on his face suddenly became brighter.

"Po'erdan", three light black characters, slightly blurred, drawn on the ancient parchment, faintly revealing a hint of ancient breath.

With a smile in his eyes, Xiao Ling slowly swept his gaze across the parchment. When his eyes swept over the effects of the elixir recorded on the parchment, the smile on his face became even more intense.

"The sixth-grade elixir has the miraculous effect of breaking most seals. After taking it, it can also form a resistance to this kind of seal in the body. In the future, if you encounter this kind of seal again, you can have a small chance of breaking it. exemption."

Tsk tsk, this is really good stuff…” Glancing back and forth at the ancient parchment, Xiao Ling couldn't help smacking his lips. He didn't expect that this thing could not only break the seal, but also make the sealed body more resistant to the previous seals. This alone made it worthy of the name of a sixth-grade elixir.

Of course it’s true. The price I paid to get this prescription makes me feel heartbroken when I think about it now…” Looking at Xiao Ling eagerly, Hai Bodong smiled bitterly.

"Haha, no matter what the price is, it's nothing compared to being able to restore your Dou Huang strength." Xiao Ling comforted him, and then in front of Hai Bodong, he unceremoniously put the ancient prescription into his ring.

In the world of medicine refining, there are some unwritten rules. If anyone wants to ask a pharmacist to help refine some folk elixirs, he not only needs to prepare his own prescriptions, but also must prepare his own materials. Moreover, these prescriptions must also You have to let the alchemist do whatever he wants. Even if the other party wants to take it as his own, that is normal.

Generally speaking, the normal charging standard is to prepare three sets of medicinal materials, plus the reward for refining the pill. After all, ordinary alchemists do not have the soul power that far exceeds Xiao Ling's alchemy skills, and the success rate of alchemy cannot be guaranteed. Generally, a 50% probability of refining a pill is considered good.

In the world of alchemy, making a prescription is not as simple as one might imagine by simply picking up a pen to record it. When making a prescription, the alchemist must use his own soul power as ink, and then use the pen as a guide, in order to successfully make a qualified prescription.

When using a prescription, the alchemist needs to use the power of his soul to invade the prescription in order to obtain some essential data and information hidden in the prescription, such as the amount of medicinal materials needed, the mildness of the fire, etc. These things are all things that need to be paid attention to when refining pills. Without these data, no matter how outstanding an alchemist's alchemy skills are, he must go through many experiments before he can finally refine the pill recorded in the prescription. However... in the process of this experiment, many rare medicinal materials will probably be damaged, which is a huge loss.

Therefore, the fourth-grade prescription that Xiao Ling had sent to Xiao Zhan before was able to hire Mitchell, the vice president of the Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Guild, to travel thousands of miles from the imperial capital to the remote Wutan City to examine Xiao Yan.

Therefore, although Hai Bodong had obtained this prescription for some time, he still had no way to copy it. When he saw Xiao Ling's actions, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch. After a while, he could only shake his head in frustration and let this guy take away what he had worked so hard to get for free.

Xiao Ling smiled and put the recipe for refining the "Evil-Breaking Pill" into his ring. He then extended his hand to Hai Bodong and asked in an expectant tone, "Since I have the recipe, what about the herbs for refining the Evil-Breaking Pill?"

Hai Bodong shook his head helplessly, stretched out his old arm, pointed in the direction of the map shop behind him, and replied to Xiao Ling: "I have stored the medicinal materials for refining the Evil Breaking Pill in the warehouse at the map point. I will take you to get them now."

Chapter 77 Collecting Medicinal Materials

After Hai Bodong said this, he walked into the map shop first without caring whether Xiao Ling followed him or not.

Seeing Hai Bodong walk into the shop first, Xiao Ling waved to Qing Lin and Zi Yan who were chatting behind him, and said, "Don't bask in the sun outside, come into the map shop and rest for a while." After he finished speaking, Xiao Ling walked towards the map shop.

Zi Yan and Qing Lin looked at each other, nodded, and followed Xiao Ling's steps.

After following Hai Bodong in the map shop for a few minutes, Xiao Ling and his companions came to a wall and stopped.

Several people stopped, and before Hai Bodong could respond, Zi Yan asked curiously, "Old Hai, why did you bring us to this wall? Do we need to break down this wall to find a secret passage? I can help you."

Hearing Zi Yan's violent words, Hai Bodong couldn't help but twitch his mouth, and replied helplessly: "Little girl, this is not a wall that needs to be opened, it's just a hidden stone door. I will go forward and open this stone door, and then I can directly enter my treasure house."

Under the curious gazes of the three people, Hai Bodong walked to the wall, stretched out his hand and tapped several places on it, then took a few steps back.

"Rumble..."

As the wall began to shake, the wall that blocked the progress of these people also split in the middle, revealing a passage inlaid with moonstones.

As the mechanism was opened, Hai Bodong walked in first. Seeing this, Xiao Ling and others followed closely behind him.

Walking in this passage, because it was illuminated by the moonstone, Xiao Ling looked towards the end of the passage in the moonlight.

All I saw was a secret room with some shelves lined up inside and some items placed on them.

On the shelves from left to right are placed pills, medicinal materials, martial arts skills, and refining materials.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling muttered in his heart: "This layout is quite neat. Hai Bodong is indeed a particular person."

After reaching the secret room, Hai Bodong said to Xiao Ling: "Master Xiao Ling, please wait here for a moment. I will get the herbs for you to refine the Evil Breaking Pill."

After that, Hai Bodong walked towards the shelf where the medicinal herbs were stored. Xiao Ling took Qing Lin and Zi Yan to sit at the table and chairs nearby and started chatting.

After a while, Hai Bodong walked to the table and chairs, waved his hand, and a pile of medicinal herbs fell in front of Xiao Ling.

Seeing that Hai Bodong had brought the herbs, Xiao Ling set his eyes on the pile of herbs on the table. These herbs could all be considered rare items. Some of them, if put in an auction, could even be sold for a high price of no less than 500,000 gold coins. However, even so, there was no demand for them. After all, anyone who knew the value of the herbs would not put these rare herbs up for auction, because who knows if they would meet an alchemist who needed these herbs one day, and that would be a very satisfactory transaction.

After carefully checking all the medicinal materials and finding nothing missing, Xiao Ling nodded slightly, looked up at Hai Bodong who was staring at him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Hai, I think you should also know that there is a failure rate in refining pills. Before refining, let me say something unpleasant... I have some confidence in refining this sixth-grade pill, but I dare not guarantee it. So, if the refining fails in the end due to some reasons, the responsibility..."

I know, I'm not responsible, right... All of you alchemists are like this. If you fail, can I still force you to stay? "Briefly, Hai Bodong waved his hand and smiled bitterly.

Xiao Ling nodded and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Hai can understand, this is naturally the best."

As if remembering something, Hai Bodong said with a smile: "When I first met you, I didn't know your identity very well. I have been asking around these days. It would have been a big deal if I hadn't asked, but I was shocked when I did. "The first genius of the Jia Ma Empire", he cultivated Dou Qi at the age of four, became a Dou Zhe at the age of eight, and then joined Canaan Academy. There has been no news about him since then. Until recently, he returned to the Jia Ma Empire with the cultivation level of Dou Wang and the identity of a sixth-grade alchemist."

Hai Bodong smacked his lips and said with some emotion: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe that the Jia Ma Empire actually produced a genius like you."

Walking up to Xiao Ling, Hai Bodong patted Xiao Ling on the shoulder and said with a smile: "As long as you don't want to hurt me on purpose, with your level of alchemy skills, I think you should succeed in one go."

"This old man is flattering me before I even start refining the medicine. He's trying to blackmail me morally. If I fail, you can only blame me for not refining it seriously." Xiao Ling thought to himself after hearing what Hai Bodong said.

"Well, anyway, I have no plan to cheat this old man. I will have to let this Ice Emperor work for me in the future. The position of Xiao family's butler is specially prepared for Hai Bodong." Thinking of this, Xiao Ling no longer thought about these trivial things. The key now is to concentrate on refining the pill.

After putting the pile of herbs on the table into his storage ring, Xiao Ling nodded slightly to Hai Bodong and said calmly: "Don't worry, Mr. Hai, I will do my best to help you refine this evil-breaking pill. It won't be long before you can recover your Douhuang cultivation."

After looking around, Xiao Ling found that there was no good place in the secret room to make medicine. He asked Hai Bodong, "Can you prepare a quiet room for me? No one can disturb me while I am here, including Mr. Hai himself."

"Come with me." Nodding, Hai Bodong walked towards a side door, and Xiao Ling followed closely behind him.

Entering the side door, a corridor appeared. The light in the corridor was slightly dim. I followed Hai Bodong for a distance and then stopped outside a door at the bottom of the corridor.

Pushing open the door, a dim light shone out. The room looked quite tidy, perhaps because it was cleaned frequently. It was not bad to use it as a temporary residence while refining medicine.

After telling Qinglin to practice well, Xiao Ling walked towards the room.

Walking into the room, Xiao Ling looked around, smiled and nodded.

"Master Xiao Ling, is this place okay?" Hai Bodong asked with a smile. After seeing Xiao Ling nod, he continued, "In that case, Master Xiao Ling, please refine the elixir here. I will be guarding outside the corridor. During this time, you will get the quiet atmosphere you need, and no one will disturb you."

Chapter 78 Refining PoEdan

"It's very good, thank you." Xiao Ling nodded with a smile.

"Then I'll leave first. It's up to you to do the rest." After leaving a word, Hai Bodong left the room.

When he was the only one left in the place, Xiao Ling walked to the table and chairs in the center of the room.

His fingers lightly brushed across the storage ring, and suddenly, the medicinal herbs that Hai Bodong had given to Xiao Ling earlier appeared on the table.

He stretched out his hand again, and a medicine cauldron appeared beside the table and chairs. Although this medicine cauldron was not one of the ones on the Tianding list, it was enough for Xiao Ling now.

Holding the prescription that recorded the method of refining the "Evil-Breaking Pill" in his hand, Xiao Ling began to read the refining method recorded therein.

In the original novel, even Yao Chen, the continent's number one alchemist, made a mistake while refining the Evil-Breaking Pill and wasted some medicinal materials.

Although it was only in the state of soul, and its strength was not as good as it was in life, but with Yao Chen's rich experience in refining medicine, he failed once, which also showed that the refining method of this Po Evil Pill was quite complicated.

After memorizing the contents of the prescription, Xiao Ling took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

Walking to the medicine cauldron, Xiao Ling raised his arm and pressed it on the fire outlet of the cauldron.

With a thought, the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame in his body emerged from the Dou Crystal, followed the tendons in his body, and jumped into the medicine cauldron.

When the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame appeared, a scorching temperature filled the room.

After using the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame to burn the medicine cauldron, Xiao Ling stretched out his hand and waved it rapidly on the table beside him. He held priceless herbs in his hand and then put them into the medicine cauldron.

After all the herbs were put into the cauldron, Xiao Ling took his hand away from the cauldron. His face was calm, and his fair palm suddenly waved rapidly, as if picking flowers and leaves. As his fingertips flicked, the hot golden flames inside the cauldron obediently turned into several tiny flames, which wrapped up the herbs that had been thrown in.

In order to be able to refine the Evil-Breaking Pill in one go, Xiao Ling put in his utmost effort and demanded perfection in every step.

Inside the quiet room, golden flames danced between the medicine cauldrons, and a faint medicinal fragrance filled the air.

……

Jia Ma Empire, Utan City.

A carriage with the royal emblem of the Gama Empire drove into Wutan City from the city gate.

Behind the carriage followed more than fifty royal guards wearing light armor. The murderous aura emanating from each soldier showed that these people were all experienced fighters on the battlefield.

Yaoyue, who was sitting in the carriage, stretched out a sharp wrist, opened a corner of the curtain, and looked at the buildings of Wutan City with great interest.

"Is this the place where Xiao Ling, the 'first genius of the Gama Empire', lived when he was a child? I wonder if I will encounter some interesting things here." Yaoyue muttered to herself.

At that time, he was still studying alchemy with Vice President Mitchell in the Alchemist Guild. As a result, his sister came to him and wanted him to go to Wutan City.

Originally, Yaoyue was planning to refuse. Wutan City was a remote small city that she had never heard of.

However, he heard from his sister that this was the birthplace of Xiao Ling, the "first genius of the Jia Ma Empire", and that this trip was to escort Xiao Ling's fellow tribesmen to live in the imperial capital.

As the little princess of the Jiama Empire, Yaoyue naturally knew about Xiao Ling's news, so she was also somewhat interested in the place where he was born.

Moreover, Xiao Yan, who his teacher mentioned from time to time, seemed to be from the Xiao family in Wutan City. When the time comes, he could go and see what kind of strange person he is that even his teacher could not see any problems with him.

Under the awed gazes of the residents of Wutan City, the royal guard arrived at the Xiao family's courtyard and stopped.

The middle-aged officer in the lead waved to his subordinate, who then dismounted and came to the Xiao family's guard and said, "Hello, we are the royal guards, here to take the Xiao family members to the imperial capital."

The captain of the Xiao family's security guard had already received information from within the clan, claiming that the Gama Empire's guard team would arrive in the next few days.

The captain of the guards replied to the soldier: "I will go and inform the clan leader first. Everyone, please go to the reception hall and rest. The clan leader will be here soon."

After he finished speaking, he muttered a few words to a guard beside him and walked towards the patriarch's office.

The guard led the royal guards to the Xiao family's reception hall.

After the captain of the guards reported, clan leader Xiao Zhan immediately brought several elders to solemnly welcome the royal guards.

The two sides decided on an itinerary, and tomorrow morning everyone would set off for the imperial capital.

On the last night before leaving Wutan City, Xiao Zhan also invited the leaders of all the big and small forces in Wutan City to come to the Xiao family to hold a dinner party.

The patriarchs of the other two major families in Wutan City, Galebi, the patriarch of the Gale family, and Obapa, the patriarch of the Oba family, naturally also received Xiao Zhan's invitation.

The patriarchs of the three major families, who were originally somewhat hostile to each other, now started drinking at the dinner because the Xiao family was about to leave Wutan City.

……

While the dinner was going on, Xiao Yan was wandering around the Xiao family alone. As the third young master of the Xiao family, he was naturally qualified to attend the banquet, but he felt it was boring to sit in the hall after dinner alone, so Xiao Yan left the banquet early.

Xiao Yan pinched off a dogtail grass on the roadside and held it in his mouth, tasting the slight bitterness it exuded. He walked to the pond in the Xiao family's backyard, lay on the grass, and enjoyed the cool evening breeze.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps approaching from afar reached Xiao Yan's ears.

Xiao Yan looked in the direction where the sound came from and saw a young girl walking along a bluestone path towards the pond.

The person who appeared was wearing a purple dress with silver patterns. She had an exquisite appearance. Under the influence of the royal family, she exuded an innate noble temperament. Her slender waist was tied with a purple belt, which showed off her slender waist to the fullest. She didn't seem to be very old, and looked about the same age as Xiao Yan today. She had a smile on her pretty face, which made her look elegant and peaceful. However, every time she glanced around, Xiao Yan found that this seemingly ladylike girl had some quirky smiles in her watery eyes. Obviously, she was not a quiet person as she seemed.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 79: The Moon

This girl is none other than the little princess of the royal family, Yaoyue.

As a royal princess, Yaoyue would naturally not lower herself to attend the dinner party hosted by these small leaders of Wutan City.

The main purpose of this visit is to show the royal family's attention to the Xiao family and to win over Xiao Ling, the young sixth-grade alchemist.

So Yaoyue did not attend the dinner, but instead sent the Douling-level army commander to get close to Xiao Zhan.

He wandered around the Xiao family alone, intending to take a look at the place where Xiao Ling lived when he was a child.

Just now, the guard who was secretly protecting Yaoyue told her that beside the pond not far in front of Yaoyue, there was a young man with a cultivation level of only the third level of Dou Qi lying on the grass.

When Yaoyue heard the guard mention the young man with the third level of Dou Qi, her eyes lit up. Wasn't that Xiao Yan that her teacher mentioned?

He started practicing Dou Qi at the age of four and was promoted to a fighter at the age of eleven. Although he was not as monstrous as Xiao Ling, he was also the youngest fighter in the Jia Ma Empire besides Xiao Ling, and he was also the fiancé of Nalan Yanran, the eldest daughter of the Nalan family.

This incident was also talked about with great relish by the powerful people in the Jia Ma Empire. The Xiao family relied on the talents of Xiao Ling and Xiao Yan. When the two grew up, they would surely lead the Xiao family to glory.

As a result, when Xiao Yan was twelve years old, his Dou Qi dropped to the third level of Dou Qi, and his cultivation could no longer be improved. He became a useless cultivator, which shocked everyone.

Afterwards, the Xiao family used a prescription and hired Mitchell, the vice president of the Alchemist Guild, to examine Xiao Yan.

As a result, Mitchell traveled all the way to Wutan City, but was unable to find out what was wrong with Xiao Yan's body.

Thinking of the strange physique that even her teacher could not solve, Yaoyue decided to see it for herself, so she took the initiative to go in the direction of Xiao Yan.

Seeing the girl walking towards him, Xiao Yan quickly stood up from the grass, clasped his fists and bowed, then said to Yao Yue: "Princess, is there anything you want to talk to me about? If you want to visit the Xiao family, I can lead the way for you. I am very familiar with the Xiao family."

When the royal guard entered the Xiao family before, Xiao Zhan also brought Xiao Yan to greet them, and naturally saw Yaoyue.

However, Xiao Zhan and the elders were also surprised. They did not expect that the royal princess would come in person. This also made everyone more aware of the value of Xiao Ling, a young Dou Wang strongman and sixth-grade alchemist.

Yaoyue did not answer Xiao Yan's question, but looked Xiao Yan up and down with some curiosity.

Seeing that the little royal princess was staring at him, Xiao Yan, who was now mature, felt a little embarrassed.
