With the Dou Wang-level cultivation of the two, they used their Dou Qi wings to fly in the sky. In less than a quarter of an hour, they had already arrived at the flight station.
Under the envious and awe-inspiring gazes of the students in the outer courtyard, the two slowly flapped their Dou Qi wings and landed on the ground from the air.
The instructor who was in charge of order on the side saw Xiao Ling and the other two coming back, and greeted them with a smile: "It seems that you are ready to set off. I have already fed the griffin beast once. As long as we feed it again on the way, with its fourth-level magic beast cultivation, it should not be a problem to fly to the Gama Empire within half a month."
Nodding to the instructor and throwing a porcelain bottle to him, Xiao Ling smiled and said: "Thank you for your care, instructor. There is a Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill in it, which can improve the Grand Dou Master's one-star level without any side effects. "I'm grateful for your cultivation. Thank you for accompanying me in the battle in the outer courtyard before. It has enriched my practical combat experience. It's a small token of my appreciation."
Taking the porcelain bottle containing the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill, the instructor accepted it without pretense and joked with a smile, "As expected of a sixth-rank alchemist, you're generous. I'll shamelessly accept it. Be careful when you're out there training and pay attention to your own safety."
Waving to the instructor, Xiao Ling took Zi Yan's hand, slightly circulated his Dou Qi, jumped up, and landed steadily on the back of the griffin.
Touching the griffin's head, Xiao Ling pointed in the direction of the Jiama Empire, tossed a second-grade pill into its mouth, and said, "Big fella, I'll be counting on you for the journey."
As if understanding Xiao Ling's words, or perhaps because of the pill in its mouth, the griffin nodded cooperatively. After a cry, it leaped over ten meters high, then flapped its broad wings vigorously a few times and began to soar into the sky. Feeling
the breeze against his face, watching Canaan Academy shrink beneath his feet, Xiao Ling couldn't help but sigh, "The story of Canaan Academy is about to come to an end."
Holding Zi Yan's hand, the two of them entered the room on the griffin's back, where they would spend the next ten days.
After entering the room, Zi Yan shook Xiao Ling's arm and asked expectantly, "Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, where are today's pills?"
Reaching out to stroke Zi Yan's smooth purple hair, Xiao Ling said lovingly, "Don't worry, I've prepared them."
He pulled a bottle of pills from his storage ring and handed it to Zi Yan, cautioning, "You can't take them all at once. Even with your extraordinary bloodline, consuming too much energy will be hard on your body. Go to the next room and take the pills and practice. I'll practice fighting skills in this room for a while."
Nodding vigorously, Zi Yan raised her head and said with a somewhat comical tone, "Don't worry, don't worry. I'll be fine." With that, she pulled a pill from the porcelain bottle, tossed it into her mouth, and scurried off into another room.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling could only shake his head helplessly. What else could he do? He could only pamper her. With Xiao Ling's status as a sixth-grade alchemist, the pills made from a few fifth-grade herbs were more than enough to support Zi Yan.
Xiao Ling walked to the table, pulled out a chair, and sat down. He retrieved the "Distraction Control Method" from his storage ring, which he had retrieved from the system. He first read through the contents, then began practicing according to the steps.
The method for practicing the Distraction Control Method isn't complicated; each person has their own unique approach. Simply being able to control multitasking is enough to get started.
To master the Distraction Control Method, one must first possess a strong sense of spiritual perception. For Xiao Ling, who had already reached the Spiritual Realm, this was a breeze. However, mastering this technique, in simpler terms, meant being able to control multiple directions while maintaining focus.
This proved challenging for Xiao Ling. Everyone has habits. Previously, they focused on a single task, but now controlling multiple directions simultaneously was a bit of a challenge.
He raised his hands, opened his clenched fists, and simultaneously activated the Fusion Beast Fire and the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame within him. "Puff..." A bluish-pink Beast Fire appeared in his left hand, and the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame leaped out from his right.
Xiao Ling began to use his soul power to simultaneously control the two flames to make different shapes in order to achieve the effect of training multitasking.
At first, Xiao Ling would subconsciously focus his attention on a single flame. After several failures, leveraging his powerful soul perception, he quickly mastered controlling two flames simultaneously. He separated another flame from the beast fire and began controlling three flames simultaneously, gradually increasing the difficulty, making the movements increasingly difficult.
In less than an hour, Xiao Ling had reached the realm of the Three-Aperture Controlled Heart. He could now effortlessly master three tasks simultaneously. However, the difficulty would increase exponentially as he cultivated to higher levels. He needed to continue practicing if he wanted to achieve the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart.
Practicing this secret technique not only allows for multitasking but also enhances control over soul perception. Using this power allows for even greater results, making it a valuable skill for alchemists. Refining low-level elixirs allows for the creation of multiple pills at once, and extracting medicinal liquids allows for the simultaneous refinement of several medicinal ingredients, greatly accelerating the process. As long as one focuses fully on the elixir, the success rate remains unaffected.
During the rest of the flight, his days settled into a regular routine. Every day, he practiced the "Distraction Control Technique" and some alchemy. In the evenings, he cultivated his fighting spirit, chatted and played with Zi Yan, and teased his magical beast, Rayquaza. With Zi Yan and Rayquaza by his side, this rather long journey proved quite enjoyable, convincing Xiao Ling that taking Zi Yan along was a wise decision.
...
Two weeks passed in a flash.
In his room, Xiao Ling sat cross-legged, seven fourth-tier medicinal herbs before him, being tempered with the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame.
Zi Yan, beside him, watched Xiao Ling's movements intently, fearing he might accidentally burn the herbs she had just snatched from the beasts.
After the herbs were refined into a medicinal liquid, Xiao Ling pulled a few specially made sugar pills from his ring and dropped them into the liquid, condensing the liquid into round, sleek pills.
Zi Yan, who had been staring at Xiao Ling, noticed this scene, and her eyes instantly shone with gold. She pulled a porcelain bottle from her ring, uncorked it, and shook it towards Xiao Ling.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but twitch his lips. This girl really cared most about whether she had food. With a wave of her hand, the pills fell into Zi Yan's hand.
As the last one was about to fly into the bottle, Zi Yan opened her mouth wide and swallowed it in one gulp, which made Xiao Ling, who was standing opposite her, a little amused.
After sealing the porcelain bottle with a cork and putting it into the ring, Zi Yan smiled at Xiao Ling and said, "Thank you, Xiao Ling. Your method is quite good. The speed of refining pills is much faster than before."
Xiao Ling replied, "I have been practicing a soul perception control method recently, which is very helpful for refining pills."
Nodding, Zi Yan stopped talking about it and asked, "Can we reach the Jiama Empire today? I really want to see what your and Xun'er's family looks like."
Picking up the map in his hand and looking at it, Xiao Ling replied, "With the speed of the griffin, we can reach the Ghost Gate in an hour. That is the southernmost part of the Jiama Empire, 10 kilometers away from the Xiao family in Wutan City. There are still many cities in between."
Putting the map into his ring, Xiao Ling looked in the direction of the Jiama Empire and pondered, "First, send a letter to the Xiao family and ask them to relocate to the imperial capital. That way, even if the Yunlan Sect wants to secretly attack the Xiao family, with my status as a sixth-rank alchemist, they will have to think twice in a place like the imperial capital where there are so many people and eyes."
He looked towards the Tagor Desert. There was an old man there who could be recruited to work for him. Helping to take care of the Xiao family should be more than enough. To this extent, he has done his best for the Xiao family. If he can't do it for himself, he can only protect himself. His own safety is the most important thing.
