Chapter 50: Shock
Just as Ling Yunfeng was immersed in alchemy, two shadows appeared in a quiet small valley in the back mountain, which was where Ling Yunfeng barbecued the day before yesterday.
"Sister Xue Yan, how is it? Did you find Brother Yun Feng?" asked a girl in a green dress to a girl in a purple power suit on the side.
"No, Mengyu, I think Yun Feng should be doing something, and I don't want others to know, we inadvertently found out here that day, he probably went somewhere else, I think we should not look for it, if Yun Feng knows, I'm afraid it won't be good." The woman in the purple suit hesitated and said. Listening to their conversation, it can be known that these two people are Ling Xueyan and Ling Mengyu, who came to the back mountain to find Ling Yunfeng.
"It's alright, let's keep looking. Ling Mengyu said, and then took Ling Xueyan's hand and went elsewhere......
In the cave, Ling Yunfeng was still standing in front of the medicine tripod with his eyes closed, and the soul power in his mind erupted out, enveloping the entire medicine tripod, and the slightest movement in the medicine tripod could not escape his prying eyes.
However, Ling Yunfeng's condition was not very good at this time, his face was drenched in sweat, his messy hair was stained on his cheeks, his pale face was still stained with a little black charcoal ash, he was gray-haired, and the aura on his body was also a little fluctuating and disordered, it was estimated that it was due to excessive consumption caused by long-term alchemy.
Inside the medicine tripod, at this time, the prototype of an elixir appeared in the pale yellow martial qi flame, slowly rotating in the flames, and bursts of faint medicinal fragrance diffused out, wafting throughout the cave, making Ling Yunfeng's mind, which was a little dizzy due to excessive fatigue, suddenly clear up a lot.
Ling Yunfeng, who was extremely nervous, didn't know that at this time, dozens of meters away from the cave where he was, two shadows were walking slowly, their eyes scanning around, as if they were looking for something, these two figures naturally had no one else except Ling Xueyan and Ling Mengxuan.
"Mengyu, it seems that we can't find Yun Feng's whereabouts today, I think it's better to go back. Ling Xueyan glanced at the empty valley and said with a somewhat disappointed expression.
"Okay, when Brother Yunfeng goes back, I must ask him where he went, it has caused us to look for so long. Ling Mengyu said with an indignant face, as if she was a little aggrieved.
"Let's go, he didn't ask you to come to him, who is to blame for your own coming?" ?......" Ling Xueyan said with a slight smile, and then Lianbu was about to turn around and leave, but at this moment, she suddenly paused, suddenly turned around, and looked in a direction behind her, she felt a faint energy coming from there.
"What's the matter, Sister Xue Yan?" Seeing the former's actions, Ling Mengyu wondered, and his eyes followed, but he didn't find anything.
"Mengyu, do you feel it carefully, take a look and see if you find that this place is a little different, there seems to be a wave of energy fluctuation?" Ling Xue Yan said as she stared at that place.
"Well, there really seems to be a fluctuation of energy. Hearing this, Ling Mengyu's eyes calmed down, and after careful perception, he really found that there was a slight energy fluctuation not far away.
"Hey, no, in addition to the energy fluctuations, there seems to be a faint smell of medicine. Ling Mengqiong snorted.
"There is also a medicinal fragrance, could it be that there is some elixir that is about to mature?" Ling Xueyan said, generally when the elixir is ripe, it is the time when the fragrance is the strongest, and it will also be accompanied by a faint energy fluctuation.
"Possibly, let's go over and see. Ling Mengyu said, and immediately walked in the direction of the energy fluctuations.
"Hmm!" Ling Xueyan didn't object, and hurriedly followed, if there was really an elixir ripe, they would naturally not let it go.
It didn't take long for them to follow the subtle energy fluctuations and faint medicinal fragrance to the outside of a small cave, and the energy fluctuations and medicinal fragrance came from this cave.
"Sister Xue Yan, this is it, let's go take a look. Ling Mengyu said, and was about to walk over.
"Wait, there will be guardian beasts next to the elixir, and besides, you can see that the few boulders outside this cave are obviously artificially piled up, someone should have discovered this elixir before, so let's be careful." Ling Xueyan hurriedly grabbed the former and reminded.
"That's right, then what should we do now?" Ling Mengyu asked.
"You don't move here, I'll go and see first. Ling Xueyan said.
"Okay, then be careful. Ling Mengyu hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Ling Xueyan nodded at this time, and cautiously approached the cave, keeping her eyes firmly on her surroundings, beware of some unknown dangers.
As Ling Xueyan gradually approached the cave, she could clearly feel that the energy fluctuations were becoming more and more intense, and the fragrance of the medicine was becoming more and more intense.
It's just that what makes her a little puzzled is that it seems to be about close to the cave, and the air around it is getting hotter and hotter, and there seems to be a fiery breath permeating the cave. Could it be that this elixir is still a fire attribute?
After walking a few more steps, through the gaps between the stones piled up at the entrance of the cave, the scene inside the cave suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
Seeing a yellow light in the cave, Ling Xueyan couldn't help but be a little puzzled, her eyes swept in the cave, and then suddenly stopped in the center of the cave, her delicate face showing a look of surprise.
In the middle of the cave, a young man stood motionless, his eyes closed, and his palm pressed against a quaint medicine pod in front of him.
In the center of the flame, a pale yellow elixir prototype was suspended, slowly spinning, and bursts of subtle energy fluctuations with a rich medicinal fragrance diffused out, floating in the air.
Ling Xueyan's surprised gaze slowly moved upward, and when she stayed on the young man's delicate and slightly immature face that was full of resolute edges and corners, the look of surprise on her face suddenly turned into shock, and her soft jade fingers lightly covered her soft and seductive red lips, with a little disbelief in her eyes.
"How could it be him? how could it be, how could he be...... Could it be that everyone is wrong?" Ling Xueyan looked at the young man in the cave and muttered inwardly, feeling that her mind was a little unconscious, a young man who was considered a waste by his family and had been bullied since he was a child turned out to be the most noble professional on the continent - an alchemist.
Ling Xueyan had also seen the alchemist refining medicine in her family, so she could tell at a glance that the young man in the cave was refining the elixir.
Moreover, from the energy fluctuations and the rich medicinal fragrance coming from the medicine pod, she could tell that the young man was refining a high-grade elixir, which meant that the young man had become a real alchemist with a grade, not those alchemist apprentices who were in the learning stage.
"Hiss!" Thinking of this, Ling Xueyan couldn't help but gasp, her heart was shocked, this young man is only sixteen years old this year, less than seventeen years old.
A sixteenth-grade alchemist, even if it is only the lowest-level first-grade alchemist, is afraid that there are very few existences on this continent, such a talent for alchemy is really terrifying.
It was the first time she had seen such a young alchemist, and if she cultivated it well, she was afraid that in a few decades, this young man would be able to become a high-level alchemist, and then the status and power of the Ling family would rise.
Alchemist, it is a rare creature on the continent, and no matter where it goes, it is the object of contention among the major forces.
You must know that although their Ling family is one of the four major families in Qingfu City, there are only three alchemists in the entire family, the highest rank is a second-grade alchemist, and the rest are two first-grade alchemists.
However, Rao is an alchemist of this level, and no one in the family dares to slack off, even the old patriarch is quite polite when he sees them.
"Isn't he incapable of cultivating? How could he become an alchemist. Ling Xueyan wondered, and Xuan even quickly figured out something: "Alas, it seems that the entire family has seen it wrong, not only can they cultivate, but they are also a noble alchemist, both of them have excellent alchemy talent and cultivation talent.
To be able to become a high-level alchemist, his martial qi cultivation is at least a heavy martial artist, that's right, only a martial artist can condense the Dan Fire Alchemy. For such a young one-heavy martial artist, this talent is not bad. ”
"But since he is not only able to cultivate, but he is also a noble alchemist, why wouldn't he tell the family? With his talent, he will definitely be cultivated by the family, and he won't have to suffer so much. Ling Xue Yan frowned slightly and muttered suspiciously.
"Maybe he has his own troubles, and grandpa also mentioned to me, it seems that someone wants to be unfavorable to him, but for some reason grandpa can't do anything, so he can only let it go, maybe he himself has noticed something, so he has been holding back.
How much perseverance does it take for such a young boy to endure all kinds of humiliation for so many years......
Thinking of this, Ling Xueyan couldn't help but gasp again, she suddenly felt that she seemed to be stranger to this younger brother who had grown up watching since childhood.
At this time, she suddenly felt a sense of distress, and she wanted to hug the man in front of her who was extremely talented, but for some reason had to bear the identity of a waste material and endure humiliation, and comforted her. As a man, it is not easy for him, even if he is a resolute man, there will definitely be a moment of weakness.
It is easy for a person to live secretly, but it is difficult to endure humiliation and burden! Generosity to righteousness is just a quick draw, but he silently endures and even cooperates with the contempt of others, and he has peerless talent but regards himself as a clown for some reason...... It's so hard!
Of course, she didn't know that Ling Yunfeng hadn't endured it for long, it was just that her cousin had died before, and her current body was occupied by another soul.
