Cheng Ling fled in a hurry and finally left Liu Qingyan.
When I returned to the sect this time, I learned from her that there was indeed a thick book in the Wuxiang Sword Sect.
I got three copies in total, one was bought in Fangshi, one was snatched from the auction on Canglang Island, and the other was in the dormitory where Chen Ling lived.
This last one should be the one owned by the Chen family, so there should be another one in the Wuxiang Sword Sect.
Back then, Cheng Xueyao made sure to make Chen Ling an official disciple, and it was for that thick book, but it was a pity that she never got it until her death.
So where should the book in the Wuxiang Sword Sect be now? The only ones that can be eliminated are the Chen family, and the only ones left are the Cheng family and the sect leader.
There is no opportunity for both parties to take advantage of it for the time being. Maybe he should really consider getting married to Cheng Yanbing, so that he can enter the Cheng family.
However, this method really couldn't pass the test in her heart. With Cheng Ling's temperament, it felt really awkward to use marriage to get what she wanted.
"That's all, these can only depend on future opportunities. For now, dealing with the Chen family is more important!"
Cheng Ling murmured and flew towards the original cave.
After arriving at the cave, he saw Xiyan practicing swordsmanship outside. It was obviously too depressing inside the cave, so I came out for some air.
Cheng Ling saw the light of his sword flashing, and his Yunyin swordsmanship was also somewhat exciting. With a thought in his heart, he shouted "Catch the sword" and struck her with one sword!
Xi Yan was startled, but she felt relieved when she heard Cheng Ling's voice. She raised her sword to block and then attacked.
Cheng Ling only used basic swordsmanship to deal with it, and pointed out her shortcomings in swordsmanship from time to time. The two of them fought for more than half an hour before they stopped.
Xiyan felt that she had benefited a lot. Every word of Cheng Ling's advice to her hit the mark. After the improvement, her understanding of swordsmanship was higher and her power was much stronger.
She said happily: "Thank you, Brother Ling, for your guidance!"
Cheng Ling said: "Yes, the foundation building has been completed. You have to remember that swordsmanship is dead. Don't stick to sword moves. Only by learning and applying it flexibly and suiting you can you exert greater power."
Xiyan Fuli replied: "Yes, I understand!"
"Well! Are you sure you can hit the golden elixir now?"
"have!"
"Okay, today you will break through the golden elixir first. After the breakthrough is completed, we will plan how to deal with the Chen family."
Xiyan was overjoyed and said, "Yes, please ask Brother Ling to help me protect the law!"
After saying that, he sat down cross-legged, and the exercises in his body were running, preparing to face the golden elixir thunder tribulation!
Cheng Ling moved his hands together and quickly arranged a defensive formation and a lightning formation for him.
The calamity clouds in the sky quickly gathered, and within a moment, there was a "click" sound, and the thunder calamity fell.
Cheng Ling looked at the strength of Jie Lei and found that it was much weaker than his own. He relaxed. With the sixth-grade defensive formation he had arranged, a calamity thunder of this intensity could not be broken at all.
More than half an hour later, the thunderstorm passed, and Xiyan was unscathed. She had absorbed all the spiritual power in the colorful auspicious clouds, and her cultivation level had reached the early stage of the golden elixir.
After giving herself a Clean Water Technique and tidying up a little, she happily came to Cheng Ling and said, "Brother Ling, the formation you arranged is so powerful, it's of several levels!"
Cheng Ling said calmly: "Sixth grade!"
Xi Yan opened her mouth wide and said in surprise: "I'm afraid there are not many sixth-grade formation masters in this world!"
Cheng Ling shook his head and said: "Yes, I have seen it in one place. The formations there are very high, and many of them I cannot break."
What he was talking about was the formation within the island group, but he still needed to make some preparations before returning to Luoye City.
He said: "Xiyan, how many people know you in Luoye City?"
Xi Yan said: "Probably not many, I rarely go out on weekdays."
Cheng Ling said: "Then there is a way. I'll teach you some techniques, and you can dress up so that others can't recognize you. We'll go back to Luoye City tomorrow!"
Xiyan nodded, and the two began to dress up. Cheng Ling naturally taught him makeup. With Bai Suzhen's precedent, he prepared many items.
He has done many jobs on earth, and women's cosmetics are also at his fingertips. Eye shadow, eyebrow pencil, foundation, etc. can be made easily. As for the materials, they can be replaced by minerals and animal hair.
Xi Yan only felt that he was drawing pictures on her face, which was itchy and sweet in her heart. In this world, it is a boudoir pleasure for a man to draw a woman’s eyebrows!
Cheng Ling had no idea, but by some chance, he aroused the tenderness of Xiyan's daughter.
After a long time, Cheng Ling looked at his work with satisfaction, and then used the Water Mirror Technique to let Xi Yan see it for herself.
Xiyan looked at her face in the mirror in surprise and couldn't believe it. In the mirror, I saw that my skin tone was a little darker, but she looked healthier, my eyebrows were thicker, my upper eyelids had turned gray, and there was something shiny covering them, and I didn't know what they were.
Her lips are red, her face looks thinner, and her long black hair is slightly curly. Her whole person is completely different, and she looks a little more mature than before.
Cheng Ling chuckled and said, "How about it? I look a few years older now. Isn't the flaming red lips very tempting and sexy!"
"Is this really me? Brother Ling, how did you do it?"
"It's very simple. It's just these little gadgets. If your face changes a little, you won't be able to recognize it unless it's someone you know very well. If you like it, I'll give it to you!"
Xiyan happily took it, her heart bursting with joy. She looked at herself in the mirror and said, "Brother Ling, do you like the way I look now?"
"Well, this is smoky makeup. In my hometown, only those escort girls and women in nightclubs dress up like this!"
"Host girl? Nightclub? What is that? Brother Ling, do you go there often?"
"This...! It's not important. The key is that if you dress up like this, others won't recognize you. But I always feel like there's something missing?"
Xiyan didn't understand, but she felt that Brother Ling in front of her looked obscene and embarrassed. She was curious in her heart and just stared at Cheng Ling with her big eyes open.
Cheng Ling thought hard for a long time, then clapped his hands and said, "By the way, I know what's missing."
He asked Xiyan to stand up and taught her how to walk like a cat, how to speak, how to wink, how to make some modern gestures, and also asked her to change all her clothes.
When Xi Yan saw the clothes, she resisted them very much, but couldn't bear Cheng Ling's encouragement, so she had to put them on reluctantly. After that, she made a big cloak to cover her whole body.
Cheng Ling secretly laughed in his heart, "If you still recognize me like this, I will have your last name!"
He said to Xi Yan: "Remember, you are Fairy Xi Yan now. You come from the Fairy Island on the Canglang Sea. You came to the mainland this time just to trade elixirs, spiritual fruits and purchase materials."
Xi Yan nodded and asked, "Shall we go directly to Chen's house?"
"No, the Chen family is too familiar with you and will probably find out about you. We will not go to the Chen family and find another stronghold in Luoye City."
"Remember, you are not the eldest lady of the Chen family now, but the head of a caravan from overseas. Your words and behavior must change."
"I understand, brother Ling, what about you? What is your identity!"
"I will be the caravan's guard! My name is Zhan Zhao. From now on, you can call me Zhan Guard in front of others!"
Cheng Ling looked serious and said cautiously, this girl is too shameless!
"Guard Zhan? I understand!"
Cheng Ling smiled secretly in his heart and said, "Today, I'll just have a night's rest and I'll refine some elixirs. We'll go to Luoye City tomorrow!"
Xiyan nodded and went back to the cave to rest.
Cheng Ling took out the materials and started refining the elixir. Back then on Lingguo Island, he got a book on alchemy. He practiced it for a while, but the level was not high enough and he could only refine the elixirs of the foundation-building stage.
In this way, the grade of the elixir was too low, unlike the overseas caravans. He had a huge headache. After countless calculations, he still missed one item. Fortunately, after searching the He family's treasury, there were a lot of materials. We could only work hard for a few days to see if we could improve the level of alchemy. The time to return to Luoye City could only be postponed.
Having made up his mind, he started refining the elixir with all his strength. Having Meteor Fire and Alchemy Furnace will also be of great help to alchemy.
The next day, Xiyan came out of the cave and saw him concentrating on refining alchemy. She asked in surprise: "Brother Ling, I didn't expect you to know how to make alchemy. Aren't you going back to Luoye City today?"
Cheng Ling said: "I only know a little bit, but my grade is not high. I plan to refine some elixirs for the golden elixir stage so that the caravan will have no flaws."
"In the past few days, you should first familiarize yourself with the things I taught you, and you can also practice swordsmanship. After returning to the city, don't use Yunyin swordsmanship. I have another swordsmanship here that you can learn."
After saying that, he handed over the secret book of Xuan Bing Swordsmanship and let her learn it on her own!
Xiyan took it and started practicing seriously.
In this way, the two of them temporarily settled down in this cave.
Cheng Ling kept refining the elixirs, and after ten days, he would be able to refine all the elixirs for the foundation-building period, and the quality was very good, and the yield of the elixirs was also high.
He was so happy that he didn't expect that he was quite talented in alchemy. He believed that he would soon be able to break through and become a third-level alchemist.
From the skeletal handbook, I learned that alchemy, like formations, is also divided into grades one to nine. Those at grade three can be called alchemy masters, so that they can be sure to get through.
Xiyan is also working hard to practice swordsmanship. After ten days of studying Xuanbing swordsmanship, she has basically mastered it, but she is still not proficient enough. This needs to be honed through daily practice.
When the two of them were free, Cheng Ling would teach her some ways of speaking and behaviors of modern women. Xi Yan was very curious while learning. What kind of place is Brother Ling's hometown? It's so different from ours.
The two of them improved individually. After a month and consuming a lot of materials, Cheng Ling finally upgraded his alchemy skills to the third level.
He took a long breath and finally could refine the golden elixir stage elixir.
After resting for a day, giving myself some time to relax, I started refining again.
Xiyan's swordsmanship is getting better and better day by day. In the past month, he has practiced Yunyin swordsmanship to a small level. Xuanbing swordsmanship is not high, but it has reached the state of Dacheng. His cultivation level has also been promoted to the peak of the early stage of Jindan.
Another month later, Cheng Ling finally stabilized his status as a third-grade alchemist and refined many pills.
These elixirs of his are different from those in Luoye City. Many of them are refined with materials from Canglang Sea, and their effects are even more powerful according to the handwritten notes.
The past two months of refining alchemy have also made his control over meteor fire and spiritual power increasingly mature, and even his spiritual consciousness has improved slightly.
He stood up, used Qingshui Jue to wash away the sweat stains on his body, and said to the cave: "Xiyan, we can leave for Luoye City!"
Xi Yan stood up suddenly, this day has finally come!
