Chapter 504: Chapter 503: The Plan
Ding Ling just reached the high peak.
He saw Zhong Ling pacing back and forth anxiously, muttering to herself, ’Why hasn’t Brother Ding returned yet?’ ’Could something have happened to Brother Ding?’ ’What should I do?’ ’I must go down to find him!’
Ding Ling felt warmth in his heart.
Innocent and charming like Zhong Ling indeed easily gains people’s affection.
Moreover, Zhong Ling personally led him to find the Scarlet Venom Toad. Ding Ling thought for a moment, and decided that he could give her the pill later.
Who should he keep the pill for?
Even if he descends to the Lower Realm now, he cannot bring anything with him.
Ding Ling looked at the prompt.
It clearly stated:
[Player Ding Ling, do you wish to return to the World of Divine Condor now?]
[Note 1: Only one round-trip opportunity is available. No time limit. Only one set of clothes can be taken to the Lower Realm.]
[Note 2: Choose a fixed location for the exchange. The location for interaction between worlds is fixed, no longer random.]
Although the unlimited time and fixed location are quite eye-catching.
But only being able to bring one set of clothes is even more striking!
Since nothing can be carried.
The pill in Ding Ling’s hand naturally doesn’t need to be kept, and in this current world, Zhong Ling is the only person he has affections for.
Besides, Zhong Ling played a significant part in finding the Scarlet Venom Toad.
Naturally, Ding Ling decides to give the pill to Zhong Ling to consume.
Seeing Zhong Ling so worried about him at this moment, Ding Ling feels his decision is absolutely correct.
’If I obtain Immortal Techniques in the future, I could descend to teach them to Diao Chan, Dragon Girl, and the others, or directly make some Immortal Pills?’
Does the Three Kingdoms World have sufficient herbs to refine Immortal Pills?
For Ding Ling, this is a distant matter, but he knows one thing: the stronger a person is, the more they can transform decay into marvel!
He believes that as long as he is strong enough, all impossibilities can become possible.
Thinking of this.
Ding Ling stops overthinking and directly coughs, calling out, "Zhong Ling!"
Zhong Ling shudders, turns around, and upon seeing Ding Ling, her large watery eyes inexplicably become a bit red. She then throws herself into Ding Ling’s arms like a bird returning to its nest, holding him tightly:
"Brother Ding, you really scared me. I thought you wouldn’t come back."
Upon saying this.
She quickly jumps out of Ding Ling’s embrace, looking him up and down anxiously:
"Brother Ding, are you alright?"
"I’m perfectly fine!"
Ding Ling nods and smiles.
At this moment, Ling Yanqiu also comes over.
She had been full of worry before, but compared to Zhong Ling, she was more composed, better at concealing her feelings. Yet, upon seeing Ding Ling, the darkness in her eyes dissipates instantly like clouds receive sunlight, her whole demeanor becoming light and joyful.
"Let me take a look."
Zhong Ling examines Ding Ling repeatedly, confirming he is alright, then asks about the Scarlet Venom Toad.
Ding Ling says he has used it for alchemy.
Zhong Ling is taken aback, exclaiming:
"You managed to catch the Scarlet Venom Toad?!"
Ling Yanqiu is deeply moved as well.
After all, that’s the King of Ten Thousand Poisons. She thought Ding Ling would certainly return without success, but unexpectedly, he managed to refine it.
"That’s right."
Ding Ling takes out a pill and gives it to Zhong Ling:
"This is the pill refined from the Scarlet Venom Toad. You’re frail; eat it quickly."
"I won’t eat it."
Zhong Ling shakes her head:
"Brother Ding, you should eat it."
"I’ve already eaten one."
Ding Ling apologetically looks at Ling Yanqiu.
Ling Yanqiu understands, smiles and says:
"I am highly skilled in martial arts and have a strong physique. Zhong Ling’s skills are low-tier, and her physical condition is even worse; she needs to improve her physique more than I do."
Moreover, ...
You two are a sweet little pair. How could I compete with Zhong Ling for her Brother Ding?
Ling Yanqiu’s heart flashes with a silhouette and she can’t help but sigh. She envies Zhong Ling for having someone who doesn’t hide from her!
Gulp!
Zhong Ling eventually eats the pill.
After consuming it.
The improvement in her physical condition is too obvious; Ding Ling’s physique is extremely strong, so gaining six or seven points isn’t very noticeable.
Zhong Ling, however, is different. After several points.
She seemed to become more energetic and lively!
To help her quickly refine the pill, Ding Ling placed his hand on her back, using Fusion Qi to refine the medicinal power, assisting her in quickly obtaining the Immune to All Poisons physique.
After a period of time.
Zhong Ling exclaimed full of surprise and joy:
"I’m really immune to all poisons?! This is incredible!"
Seeing Ling Yanqiu’s envious expression beside her.
Zhong Ling feels a bit proud and a bit apologetic.
Ling Yanqiu pulls her aside and whispers, saying she’s envious of her for meeting someone like Brother Ding who thinks of her and helps her, instead of avoiding her.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Ling straightens her spine, her pretty face filled with joy and pride.
People praising Ding Ling makes her even happier than praising herself.
She asks Ling Yanqiu about some things.
Knowing the circumstances of the person Ling Yanqiu likes, she feels sad for Ling Yanqiu but ultimately feels even more fortunate to have met a man like Ding Ling.
She secretly glances at Ding Ling and sees that he is also looking at her. This time she doesn’t dodge, just suppresses her bashfulness, blushes and walks over: "Brother Ding, where are we heading now?"
"First to the Infinite Sword Sect to see the Infinite Jade Pendant here."
Ding Ling intends to see whether the opportunity in the valley at the forbidden area behind Infinite Sword Sect has been obtained by Duan Yu.
But judging by the situation, Duan Yu should have already acquired it.
Ding Ling is making this trip.
Thinking it’s fine to take a look since he’s already at Wuliang Mountain.
After looking, then head to Dali Celestial Dragon Temple to see if he can obtain the Six Meridian Divine Sword.
Afterward, proceed to Leigushan to see if he can heal Wuya Zi; even if he can’t, he’ll find a way to learn North Nether Divine Skill and other cultivation techniques.
Ding Ling has made up his mind.
Regarding how to explore this world, he has planned it out.
Follow the steps methodically.
Once his strength is enhanced to a certain extent, he plans to defeat Great Liao and Western Xia, appoint someone as Sovereign, and have them help search for the Jiuzhou Secret Manual.
Then he could stay at the manor and read leisurely.
Experiencing the convenience of becoming a Prince.
Ding Ling becomes tempted.
Thinking of choosing another person to become Emperor by following the same method, so he could reign behind the scenes.
However, this person must have outstanding character and know to repay kindness, or else choosing a treacherous character would be digging his own grave!
He also hopes for this person of outstanding character to be able to assist future Ascenders like Huang the Herbalist and Pan Feng.
...
...
Ding Ling and the two others ride northward.
With Zhong Ling guiding the way.
There’s no need to worry about getting lost.
She now seems to be set on Ding Ling, wherever Ding Ling goes, she follows, even ignoring her home. According to her, she can see her parents anytime, but if she doesn’t stick close to Brother Ding and he disappears, where would she find him?!
As they progress to a secluded forest area.
Ding Ling suddenly sees two people and a horse coming out from a side path.
The horse appears extremely majestic!
But is being led by a man.
A woman walks in front, dressed in black, face covered with a black veil, with a graceful figure and eyes as bright as polished black paint. She seems to notice Ding Ling’s group, her eyes showing a hint of wariness and complexity, but quickly, she seems to notice Zhong Ling, her eyes widen in surprise, filled with incredulity.
Zhong Ling also sees the woman, her eyes light up, she sweetly smiles and says:
"Sister Mu!"
