In the lower reaches of the Towering River, at the edge of the Chaotic Ridge, there was an unknown village.
There weren't many people in this village, only about a hundred or so. However, all of them were quite simple and kind. They didn't forget to clean the roads and didn't close their doors.
They worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, giving off a feeling of being aloof from worldly affairs.
A young man was lying on a small hill with a blade of grass in his mouth. His eyes were looking at the clouds in the sky, and he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort and ease.
This young man had sharp features and a face as sharp as a knife. He was a rarely seen handsome man.
Ling Xiao had been in this village for seven days.
In these seven days, he had used the Soul Controlling Art to repair his divine soul, but the effect was very little, which made him very anxious.
After meditating just now, he lay there gloomily, thinking about how to solve the problem in front of him.
"The Ancient Emperor Divine Technique can only repair the body, not the divine soul. I thought the Soul Controlling Art could repair the divine soul, but it is missing the last scroll, and the chant is not complete, so it can't repair the divine soul that has already become flesh and blood!"
Ling Xiao thought in his heart. After a pause, he thought again, "Unless there is a ninth-stage divine herb or elixir that can repair the divine soul, I don't know when I can get better!"
The Soul Controlling Art was divided into three stages, and the Healing Art was also divided into three stages. Ling Xiao had already achieved divine soul, so the chant for the first two stages could not be repaired at all, which was what made Ling Xiao helpless.
Now that he had lost his cultivation, he was like a cripple, unable to fly and fight. Fortunately, he had a body equivalent to a semi-divine weapon, so he had the ability to protect himself.
There were only two or three ninth-stage divine herbs in his medicine cauldron, which were auctioned in the black market.
However, these divine herbs were not very useful for the divine soul, and the highest level of his medicine cauldron could only be opened at the God King Realm. Otherwise, he could exchange for divine herbs that could repair the divine soul.
Now, he had no other choice.
Unless he returned to the Blazing Flame Merchants, he would not be able to get this divine herb.
Just as Ling Xiao was lost in his thoughts, a voice that sounded like the cry of a lark was heard from a short distance away. "Brother Ling Xiao, why have you come all the way here? Spirit beasts often appear here and you can't use your martial arts. It's very dangerous!"
Not far away, a woman in plain clothes ran over. Her face was carved, and there was a childlike innocent smile on her face, giving off a feeling of innocence and flawlessness.
This girl was called Xiao Ling. She was the one who had saved Ling Xiao's life.
Ling Xiao had heard her mention that she had found Ling Xiao in the Towering Sky River.
Ling Xiao was swept away by the waves. Xiao Ling was curious, so she asked her grandfather to fish up Ling Xiao.
According to Xiao Ling, Ling Xiao's body was already festering. If it was an ordinary person, they would not be able to survive, but he was still breathing.
Because of this, Xiao Ling fed Ling Xiao some healing spring water, which saved his life.
Ling Xiao was grateful to Xiao Ling from the bottom of his heart. Through these two days of contact, he realized that Xiao Ling was the most pure and kind of woman he had met.
She didn't know how to scheme, nor did she know how to hide her thoughts. She was like a child, always so innocent and straightforward.
This feeling made Ling Xiao feel very comfortable. He also had a very good impression of her. It was a pure good impression, not the kind of possessive desire to push her down.
He had never had the slightest bit of profanity towards her.
"Since I have nothing to do, I came out here to get some fresh air!" Ling Xiao looked at Xiao Ling and said with a smile.
"Well, this is also good. Anyway, your body is recovering fast, and your body is stronger than that of the village's idiots. Grandfather said that you have a tough life. I am just worried that a spirit beast will come out, so I came to take a look. But don't worry, Ling Er can help Brother Ling Xiao drive away the spirit beast," Xiao Ling said happily to Ling Xiao.
"Hehe, Sister Ling Er is really amazing. No wonder the people in the village like you so much!" Ling Xiao joked.
"Well, Brother Ling Xiao, do you like Ling Er?" Xiao Ling stared at Ling Xiao with her big eyes and asked.
Ling Xiao would not think in other directions. He immediately touched her head and said, "Of course I like her. Who asked Ling Er to be so beautiful and lovely, and also my benefactor!"
"Stop touching my head," Xiao Ling tilted her head and said. Then she said, "I also like Brother Ling Xiao. You look so good when you smile!"
"Ahem, don't praise me like that. I will blush!" Ling Xiao coughed slightly and said.
"Of course not, I have never seen you blush.
On the contrary, you look a little pale, "Xiao Ling said seriously. Then she said," But don't worry, Brother. Grandfather will go to the mountains to collect herbs these two days. He said he has a way to make you better. "
"Really?" Ling Xiao said softly.
"Of course, Grandfather has never lied to Ling Er!" Xiao Ling said.
"Well, thank you very much, Ling Er and Grandfather!" Ling Xiao bounced up from the ground and responded.
Ling Xiao could not see Grandfather Xiao Ling's face clearly, but she was sure that he was definitely an extraordinary existence. It should be known that Xiao Ling's strength was now at the Saint Realm, and she was only in her twenties. This was definitely an existence more monstrous than Ling Xiao.
To be able to cultivate such an outstanding junior, one could imagine the strength of her grandfather.
After chatting with Xiao Ling for a long time, Ling Xiao and her returned to the village.
The people in the village were not very strong, but they all had the strength of Earthly Sovereign or Heavenly Venerable. The village chief was even at the Mystic Thearch level.
These people all knew that Ling Xiao was saved by Xiao Ling, and his appearance was Dignified, but his face was a little pale. They knew that his cultivation was crippled, so they sympathized with him and did not look down on him.
Ling Xiao smiled and greeted the villagers, then entered a bamboo house.
This was the place where Xiao Ling and her grandfather lived.
There were all kinds of strange flowers and plants around, and it was surrounded by mountains and rivers. The environment was very beautiful, and it was indeed a good place to hide from the world.
However, Ling Xiao did not have the mood to enjoy this peaceful life. He was always thinking about recovering his strength, so that Feng Qingyuan and Xuan Yao, who were far away in Blazing Flame City, would not worry.
Originally, with his current situation, it was not that he did not have a way to go back. There were still three spirit beasts in the medicine cauldron, and Yurou Fei and Sha Tian were also there.
However, when she heard Xiao Ling say that her grandfather went out to find medicine for him, she could not bear to say goodbye, so she temporarily waited for him to come back before making any plans.
However, this wait lasted for a whole month.
This made Ling Xiao extremely anxious.
"Ninth level spirit herbs are protected by terrifying holy beasts, could it be that something has happened to Grandpa Xiao?" Ling Xiao thought worriedly.
On the other hand, Xiao Ling was not anxious at all, and would come and chat with Ling Xiao every day. She liked to talk to Ling Xiao about the outside world.
She had never left her grandfather in her life, and the furthest she had gone was to go on a boat on a river, and she had only been to two or three cities.
Ling Xiao patiently told her many interesting things, such as strange flowers and plants, different kinds of spirit beasts, and the customs of different places …
He would never talk about those fighting and killing worlds, for fear of polluting Xiao Ling's pure heart.
Sometimes, he thought that it would be best if Xiao Ling could only live in this kind of place where she stood aloof from worldly affairs forever.
At the same time, Ling Xiao discovered that Xiao Ling's cultivation speed was really fast, it could be said that it was not slower than the speed at which he absorbed the three foreign objects at the same time.
Under curiosity, Ling Xiao asked Xiao Ling about the doubts in his heart, "Ling Er, it's really good for you to cultivate Tenbin. I feel like you're improving every day."
Xiao Ling held Xiangsi and said, "Is it very fast?
Why don't I feel that I'm far from Grandpa? "She paused for a moment, then said," My martial arts were all taught by Grandpa. He said that I can use it to bully bad people, but Brother Ling Xiao, you're not a bad person, Ling Er won't hurt you. "
"Hehe, Ling Er is really good, but if there are bad people who want to bully Ling Er, Brother Ling Xiao won't let them hurt you even if I have to risk my life!" Ling Xiao said seriously.
Such an innocent and beautiful girl, anyone would want to protect her.
Xiao Ling was moved and said, "Thank you, Brother Ling Xiao, you're just as good to me as Grandpa." She paused for a moment, then said, "Right, I think Brother Ling Xiao should also be a very powerful person. I heard from Grandpa that you're very dangerous, but I don't think Brother Ling Xiao is dangerous at all. Grandpa sometimes also lies to Ling Er, how annoying!"
As Xiao Ling spoke, her big eyes kept blinking, and her sexy little lips slightly pouted, looking very beautiful and cute.
"If this girl goes out, I wonder how many people will fight for her." Ling Xiao looked at Xiao Ling and sighed in his heart.
"Right, didn't Brother Ling Xiao just ask me why my cultivation is so fast? I heard Grandpa say that I have an Ethereal Body, or something like that, maybe it has something to do with that!" Xiao Ling thought of something and said as she clasped her hands together.
"Ethereal Body …" Ling Xiao looked at Xiao Ling, his expression became incomparably shocked.
"Brother Ling Xiao, what's wrong?" Xiao Ling's delicate face moved closer to Ling Xiao's face and lightly shook her hand as she asked.
Ling Xiao recovered and said, "No … nothing, it's just that Brother Ling Xiao is a little surprised. Now I know why Ling Er's cultivation is so fast."
Xiao Ling said, "Oh, it's nothing. Ling Er doesn't fight with people. At most, she just drives away those spirit beasts. Why does she need to be so strong?"
If Xiao Ling's words were heard by the people outside, they would probably all wail, "What do you call it nothing? Then give me your constitution, I don't mind."
The Ethereal Body was a constitution that was one in ten thousand. It was not inferior to the Chaotic Body at all, and it was even better than the Pure Attribute Body. It was a true Divine Body, and it was destined to reach the Godking Realm.
The most amazing part of this constitution was that it could comprehend martial skills the fastest. Moreover, it had an innate affinity with the world's spiritual energy. Its absorption speed was ten times or even a hundred times faster than others, and its comprehension of Tenbin was also very strong.
It was not inferior to the Chaotic Body in any aspect, but in terms of combat strength, the Chaotic Body was a level higher.
Although Ling Xiao had the help of the divine art, if he didn't have the three foreign objects in his sea of knowledge, it would be impossible for him to compare to these monstrous constitutions.
That was simply asking for a blow.
"Not good, the Roving Bandits have entered the village, everyone run!" A voice came from outside.
