"Oh? What school or sect's martial arts is that? My Demon Flame Valley has also done a lot of research on the cultivation methods of fire attributes. Perhaps we can exchange a few things." Fang Yan continued to ask.

A sly look flashed in Xiao Ling's eyes. He knew that the other party was testing him, so he said without thinking, "I learned the Tang Sect's unique skill, "Xuantian Baolu". This is an extremely advanced skill that cannot be taught to anyone other than the core disciples of the Tang Sect."

"Tang Sect?" Fang Yan pondered, with a hint of doubt in his voice, "In my impression, there doesn't seem to be such a force. Mr. Tang San, can you explain in detail the origin of your Tang Sect?"

Xiao Ling smiled slightly, as if he had expected the other party to ask this question. He knew that the "Tang Sect" he made up did not exist in this world, but in order to hide his true identity, coupled with some bad taste in his heart, Xiao Ling did not avoid this topic.

"Elder Fang Yan, although the Tang Sect is not well known to the outside world, it has a very high reputation in certain specific fields." Xiao Ling answered calmly, trying to make his tone sound natural and confident. "Our Tang Sect is good at refining medicine and making hidden weapons. We don't often show up in the outside world, so it's normal that we are not known to the public."

"I see. I am ignorant." Fang Yan smiled slightly to hide his embarrassment. "Sir Xiao Ling, please wait a moment. I will go and inform the Valley Master and arrange your meeting."

Xiao Ling nodded to show his understanding.

Fang Yan stood up, gestured to Xiao Ling, then turned and left the reception room, preparing to go to the old demon's training room to report the situation.

Xiao Ling sat quietly in the reception room, sipping tea, waiting for a meeting with the Lord of the Demon Flame Valley.

Chapter 189 The Old Demon

Half an hour later, the figure of the old demon appeared at the door of the reception room.

His appearance was like a giant mountain slowly approaching, his imposing aura making people breathless. "All of you stay outside. Do not act without my order."

When the guards heard that it was the order from the old demon, they quickly retreated to the sides and made way for a path.

These years, in order to concentrate on cultivation and strive to break through to the Dou Zun level before his life span is up, the old demon has rarely come forward to deal with matters in the valley. Most of the affairs are left to the three elders to handle.

But as the founder of the Demon Flame Valley and the only Dou Zong expert in the valley, even though he rarely shows up, he still has absolute prestige in the valley.

After a while, Xiao Ling met the old demon who was famous in the Black Horn Region.

The old demon was wearing a yellow skull robe, with a thin face, almost skin and bones, like a skull. His deep-set eyes were shining with a faint light, like a ghost fire, revealing a bit of weirdness and gloom.

Although Xiao Ling had anticipated the image of the old demon, he still felt a little surprised when he actually saw him.

He knew that this old man's strength was unfathomable and his methods were ruthless. Although he had many cards up his sleeve, he still had to deal with them with caution.

The old demon's gaze swept over Xiao Ling. Those eyes, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, made Xiao Ling feel a little uncomfortable.

But Xiao Ling did not retreat. He met the gaze of the old demon. Their eyes collided in the air. Although there was no substantial confrontation, the tense atmosphere in the air suddenly increased.

"Are you the Tang San mentioned in the dialect? From the so-called Bashu Tang Sect?" The old demon's voice was hoarse and low, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat, carrying a chilling power.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly and responded in a deep voice: "It is me. I know that the Valley Master is very busy. I am here to visit you today because I want to discuss a deal that will benefit both parties."

The old demon's mouth curled up with a hint of playful smile. He looked at Xiao Ling, as if evaluating the true intentions of this young Dou Zong: "Trade? My Demon Flame Valley is rich in resources and rarely needs things from the outside world. What bargaining chips do you have that can impress my Demon Flame Valley?"

Xiao Ling smiled slightly, knowing that at the critical moment, whether he could arouse the interest of the old demon depended on whether his chips were attractive enough.

A white light flashed in his hand, and a pill floated in Xiao Ling's palm.

"This is a Sect Breaking Pill. For any strong man at the peak of the Douhuang level, its value is self-evident. I am willing to exchange this pill for Guigu's method of refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet." Xiao Ling's voice echoed in the reception room with a hint of unquestionable firmness.

When Fang Yan, who was standing aside, saw the Po Zong Dan that Xiao Ling took out, a golden light flashed in his eyes. He knew that this pill meant a lot to him. If he could get it, perhaps he could realize his wish of many years.

However, there was not much emotion in the eyes of the old demon. Regarding the information about "Heavenly Demon Puppet", only a few senior people in the entire Demon Flame Valley knew about it. Now, people outside the Demon Flame Valley had got the news. This made the old demon wonder whether there was a traitor in the Demon Flame Valley.

His voice suddenly became cold, and the aura around him gradually became icy, and the temperature in the reception hall suddenly dropped by dozens of degrees in an instant.

"Tang San, how did you know that my Demon Flame Valley has a Heavenly Demon Puppet? This is a secret of my Demon Flame Valley."

As soon as the old demon finished speaking, the atmosphere became more tense in an instant, as if even the air had frozen.

“Haha, this is naturally the news that my Tang Sect got from outside. As for whether there was a traitor in the Devil Flame Valley who leaked the news, I don’t know.”

Xiao Ling answered neither humbly nor arrogantly, while secretly accumulating strength to prepare for any conflict that might occur.

If this old demon really wanted to attack him, Xiao Ling would have no choice but to accept the body of this Dou Zong Seven-Star.

A hint of doubt flashed across the eyes of the old demon, and then it was replaced by gloom. He was silent for a moment, as if he was weighing something, and finally, an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Haha, I remember now. A few years ago, there was indeed a traitor in my Demon Flame Valley who escaped from the Valley secretly. However, not long after, I killed him personally. I guess the news about the Heavenly Demon Puppet was spread by him when he escaped."

As to whether this was true or not, Xiao Ling had no way of knowing.

“But Tang San, although the Sect Breaking Pill is precious, it is still not enough if you want to exchange it for the method of refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet.” The old Earth Demon said slowly.

When Xiao Ling heard this, his brows slightly frowned. He knew very well that the old demon was just trying to deliberately drive up the price.

However, he also clearly realized that if he wanted to successfully complete the transaction, he had to show more sincerity.

In his opinion, the resources currently invested in obtaining the secret method of refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet are simply insignificant compared to the benefits that can be brought by refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet in the future.

Taking a deep breath, he calmly took out an exquisite jade box from the ring and gently opened the lid. A touch of lush green light came into his eyes. It was the Qingming Shoudan.

"In addition to the Pozong Pill, I am willing to add this Qingming Shoudan as a condition for exchange." Xiao Ling's tone was calm, although he felt a little reluctant about this sudden extra effort. "Such a generous condition should be enough to exchange for the method of refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet."

In a moment, he remembered the origin of the Qingming Shoudan.

At that time, in order to improve his alchemy skills, Xiao Yan exchanged the pill he got from Yun Yun with Xiao Ling in exchange for many rare medicinal materials. Now, this pill has become an important bargaining chip for his transaction with the Demon Flame Valley.

The old demon looked at the Qingming Shoudan and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He was very clear about the value of this pill. A pill that could prolong life was a priceless treasure for any cultivator, even a Dou Zong powerhouse like him was no exception.

What's more, my life span is running out now, so I am naturally more eager for such elixir.

The atmosphere in the reception room became more tense. Xiao Ling and the old demon ghost met each other's eyes again, and both sides were trying to find out the other's bottom line.

The old demon was silent for a long time, as if he was weighing the value of the two pills and the method of refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet in his mind.

Finally, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips, and his voice was filled with a hint of pride: "Tang San, I feel your sincerity. I can give you the method of refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet, but you must remember that if this method is spread out, my Demon Flame Valley will definitely pursue it to the end."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old demon raised his hand lightly, and an invisible suction force gently sucked up the two pills in front of Xiao Ling, and then steadily put them into the storage ring between his fingers.

Then, the old demon took out an old bamboo slip from his sleeve, which was engraved with dense patterns.

Although the bamboo slips are old, they exude an indescribable luster and appear quite extraordinary.

He casually threw the jade slip to Xiao Ling, who swiftly grabbed it in his palm. The heavy weight in his heart finally fell to the ground. The goal of coming to the Demon Flame Valley this time was finally achieved.

After Xiao Ling took the bamboo slips, he glanced at the three large blood-red characters "Heavenly Demon Puppet" on it, and slowly spread out the bamboo slips in his hand. Those fine blood-red characters that exuded a bloodthirsty taste suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

"The Heavenly Demon Puppet, this method is neither a Kung Fu method nor an ordinary fighting skill, but a puppet technique passed down from ancient times.

To refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet, three things must be gathered together: the body, the soul, and the magic core.

Using the body as a tool, the soul as a guide, the magic core as the heart, and many other materials, it will eventually become a demon puppet. The demon puppets are divided into three categories: heaven, earth, and man. The difference in levels depends on the refining materials and the refining fire.

The demon puppet is extremely powerful and has no joy or sadness, no pain or injury. It is actually a killing weapon...

Xiao Ling took a rough look at the method of refining "Heavenly Demon Puppet" and confirmed that the old demon had not tampered with it. Then he nodded with satisfaction and put away the bamboo slips in his hand.

A faint smile appeared on his face, and he nodded slightly. Xiao Ling said confidently: "Don't worry, I, Tang San, have always been an upright person, and I will naturally not spread the content of this transaction."

As for Tang San's guarantee, whether it has anything to do with Xiao Ling, that's hard to say.

After getting what he wanted, Xiao Ling did not waste too much time and left the Demon Flame Valley directly.

The old demon stood at the door of the reception room, watching Xiao Ling leave. His eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about something.

His intuition over the years told him that it was definitely not a wise move to attack Xiao Ling. This young man had an indescribable temperament that made him feel deeply fearful.

Chapter 190 Heavenly Demon Puppet

After leaving the Demon Flame Valley, Xiao Ling rushed towards Canaan College without stopping.

Along the way, Xiao Ling's mood was quite complicated, and he was also a little annoyed.

Xiao Ling was a little surprised that the old demon didn't chase him out to attack him. If he fought outside the Demon Flame Valley, without the various restrictions and interferences in the valley, it would definitely be easier for him to deal with the old demon.

Not long after, Xiao Ling returned to Canaan College.

He first found Elder Su Qian and briefly explained his experience of the trip to the Demon Flame Valley.

Afterwards, he hurried into a secret room, intending to start refining a "Heavenly Demon Puppet" for Han Yue.

Xiao Ling walked into the secret room alone. It was quiet and secretive, and was the best place to carry out high-difficulty refining.

He first took out the remains of Dou Zun obtained from the Demon Beast Mountain Range from the storage ring. Although the remains had lost their breath of life, they still emitted powerful energy fluctuations and were the perfect material for refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

The former owner of this corpse was a famous Dou Zun. Although after being refined into a Heavenly Demon Puppet, it may not be possible to fully restore its peak strength in life and return to the realm of Dou Zun.

However, even if it is impossible to directly refine it into a Heavenly Demon Puppet, it is not a problem to ensure that it has the strength of a high-level Dou Zong.

In this way, even if Han Yue is not by his side, with the trump card of Heavenly Demon Puppet in his hand, Xiao Ling no longer has to worry about her safety.

Even if Fei Tian, ​​the leader of Fenglei North Pavilion, came, he would only be beaten.

Then, Xiao Ling flipped his palm lightly, and a magic core flashing with electric light appeared in his palm.

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.
