. Clearing his mind of distracting thoughts, Xiao Ling extended his fair palm and pressed it against the fire outlet of the medicine cauldron, allowing the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame within him to penetrate it.
Using the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame to raise the cauldron's temperature, he unleashed the spiritual power within his brows, opening the wooden boxes of medicinal herbs placed on the table nearby, revealing each herb, each emitting an alluring aroma, to the air.
Enveloping the herbs with his spiritual power, he placed seven of them into the cauldron. With a conscious thought, the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame split into seven flames, scorching the precious herbs and refining the essence within.
Xiao Ling believed that as his spiritual power gradually increased, he could follow the training methods in the "Divided Mind Control Method" as a foundation, deriving from them a higher realm, capable of dividing his mind into even more parts at once. Once his spiritual perception was sufficiently strong, perhaps it would be possible to achieve multitasking with a single mind.
...
On the edge of the Tagor Desert, Ziyan and Qinglin wandered through the boundless sands.
"Sister Ziyan, have you spotted any snake monsters around?" Qinglin asked curiously, shielding her eyes from the sun.
Ziyan, who had been closed to sense the surroundings, opened her amethyst-like eyes upon hearing Qinglin's question and replied, "There's a scent of a second-tier monster not far away. It's most likely a sand python. Based on the conditions you've described, it's quite suitable for you to activate the Green Serpent Triple Flower Pupil."
Qinglin's eyes lit up at Ziyan's response, and he spoke eagerly, "Then, Sister Ziyan, let's hurry over! It looks like I'll be able to recapture my first snake pet soon."
Nodding, Ziyan smiled and said, "Alright, I'm curious how you, the Green Serpent Triple Flower Pupil, tame snake monsters."
With that, Ziyan took Qinglin's hand and flew towards a small hill.
Upon reaching their destination, the two landed.
Zi Yan extended her hand toward the sand python, whispering, "Suction Palm! Suction!"
The complex Dou Qi energy in her hand circulated, and a surge of suction erupted. The sand python, previously dormant in the dune, suddenly felt an immense pull, its body yanked uncontrollably from the dune and drawn towards her.
Seeing this, Zi Yan nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "That Suction Palm technique that Xiao Ling taught me is really convenient! No wonder he uses it so often."
Once the sand python was brought before the two of them, Zi Yan dissipated the suction force and instead began to manipulate a portion of the surrounding spatial force.
While her control of spatial force wasn't yet fully mastered, Zi Yan's Dou Wang cultivation was more than enough to control a second-level sand python.
Despite its best efforts, the sand python couldn't move an inch, staring wide-eyed at Zi Yan and Qing Lin with utter horror.
After securing the sand python, Zi Yan raised her chin towards it and said to Qing Lin, "I've got it under my control now. Qing Lin, quickly use your Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils to subdue it."
Qing Lin nodded at Zi Yan's words and turned his gaze towards the subdued second-tier sand python.
Closing his eyes, Qing Lin recalled the method for opening the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils as recorded in the Heavenly Snake Manual. He took a deep breath, clearing his mind of all distractions. Xiao Ling's gentle smile surfaced in his mind, and his heart surged with emotion.

Suddenly, Qinglin's tightly closed pupils fluttered open. Within those jade-clear irises, three tiny green dots suddenly appeared...
This time, the three green dots were clearer than ever before. Upon closer inspection, they resembled tiny flower buds.
Under Ziyan's curious gaze, the three green dots within Qinglin's pupils suddenly glowed brightly. In an instant, they transformed into three extremely tiny green flowers...
As these strange green flowers emerged, a powerful, dark light suddenly erupted from them, illuminating the sand python before them.
As the strange light shone upon the sand python, its struggling body suddenly stiffened, its eyes gazing at the little girl in front of it with a hint of fear.
A strange, faint light slowly moved across the sand python's body, finally settling at the center of its forehead... After the light ceased moving, it began to slowly shrink. As its range dwindled, the brightness within it grew increasingly intense.
The light's range shrank until it was only about the size of a palm. Once it reached this size, it ceased shrinking. With a burst of faint light, a small green flower was imprinted on the sand python's forehead. After
the flower appeared, the light gradually faded. A moment later, the tiny flower within Qinglin's pupils quickly dissipated, returning to its normal emerald green color in an instant...
After his pupils returned to normal, Qinglin rubbed his brow, feeling a sense of fatigue, as if he hadn't slept all day and all night.
He took a pill Xiao Ling had prepared from his ring and placed it in his mouth, his fatigue largely dissipating.
After the sand python was imprinted with the Green Snake's Three-Flower Pupil mark, Zi Yan also released the spatial restraints she had placed on it.
The sand python fell from the air onto the sand, still frozen in place. However, whenever its gaze swept across at Qinglin, its panic and fear would involuntarily and quickly disappear, replaced by a gentleness...
Seeing this, Ziyan couldn't help but marvel, "I didn't expect there was such a strange physique. This guy becomes obedient as soon as he sees you."
Qinglin smiled at Ziyan and said, "Thank you, sister Ziyan, for your help."
Then she shouted in the direction of the sand python, "Come here quickly."
Hearing Qinglin's call, the sand python lolled out its tongue, stared at Ziyan with a fearful look, and then twisted its slender body to Qinglin's side.
The sand python showed a gentle expression and rubbed its head against Qinglin's small hand to show its closeness.
Qinglin also revealed a satisfied smile. With a thought, the sand python gradually shrank in size and wrapped itself around Qinglin's wrist like a yellow bracelet.
