Qing Lin Masters the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, Reward Obtained!

Early the next morning, just as dawn broke.

Xiao Chen left the Side Courtyard, crossed the corridor, and arrived at the courtyard where Qing Lin lived.

He knocked on the door.

The door soon opened. Qing Lin stood in the doorway, and a smile appeared on her face when she saw Xiao Chen.

"Young Master Xiao Chen."

The Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake poked its head out from her sleeve, then immediately shrank back when it saw Xiao Chen.

"Come with me," Xiao Chen said.

Qing Lin did not ask where they were going. She nodded, closed the door, and followed behind him.

The two left the Xiao Clan and arrived at a quiet spot in the back mountain.

Xiao Chen stopped and turned to look at Qing Lin.

He retrieved the method for controlling the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils from the system inventory.

A faint golden glow gathered at his fingertips.

Xiao Chen raised his hand and pressed a finger against Qing Lin's forehead.

The light entered her brow. Qing Lin's body trembled slightly as she closed her eyes.

A massive amount of information flooded into her mind.

Every technique was clearly imprinted in her memories.

A moment later, Qing Lin opened her eyes, and a flash of light passed through her jade-green pupils.

"Young Master Xiao Chen, this is..."

"The control method for the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils," Xiao Chen said.

Qing Lin sensed the additional method in her mind, her heart filled with shock.

"Go to the Magical Beast Mountain Range and find some snake-type magical beasts to practice on. Test the results, and it will also help improve your control," Xiao Chen said.

Qing Lin nodded vigorously.

"Alright."

Xiao Chen circulated his dou qi, wrapped an arm around Qing Lin, and kicked off the ground, shooting into the sky.

At the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Xiao Chen withdrew his Dou Qi Wings and landed in an open clearing.

"Let's look for some snake-type magical beasts nearby," Xiao Chen said.

Qing Lin nodded and activated her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. A faint jade-green glow surfaced in her eyes.

She looked around, her gaze sweeping through the trees and grass.

A moment later, her gaze settled in one direction.

"Over there."

After walking for only a short while, they found an arm-thick green snake coiled in the grass ahead.

A first-tier magical beast, a Bamboo Leaf Green Snake.

Qing Lin looked at the snake and took a deep breath.

"Give it a try," Xiao Chen said.

Qing Lin nodded, and the jade-green glow in her pupils brightened.

She fixed her gaze on the Bamboo Leaf Green Snake and activated the control method.

Jade-green light shot from her eyes and landed on the Bamboo Leaf Green Snake.

The Bamboo Leaf Green Snake's body stiffened slightly, and confusion flashed through its snake eyes.

But moments later, it suddenly became restless.

Its body writhed as it opened its mouth and hissed threateningly at Qing Lin.

She had failed.

Qing Lin's face turned pale, and the jade-green light in her eyes flickered several times.

She bit her lip and looked dejectedly at the still-agitated Bamboo Leaf Green Snake.

"It's normal to fail the first time," Xiao Chen said.

Qing Lin raised her head to look at him.

"You pushed your power too hastily just now, and your mental lock wasn't stable enough," Xiao Chen continued.

Qing Lin listened intently without interrupting.

"First lock onto the fluctuations of its soul. Don't rush to suppress it."

"Wait until the connection is established before giving it commands."

Qing Lin committed every word to heart.

"I understand, Young Master Xiao Chen."

She looked once more at the Bamboo Leaf Green Snake.

This time, she did not rush to act.

The jade-green light in her pupils stabilized as she first locked onto the Bamboo Leaf Green Snake's soul fluctuations.

The Bamboo Leaf Green Snake's body stiffened slightly as it tried to struggle.

Qing Lin did not immediately suppress it. Instead, she slowly established a mental connection according to the steps of the control method.

An invisible link formed between her and the Bamboo Leaf Green Snake.

The Bamboo Leaf Green Snake's struggles gradually weakened.

The hostility in its eyes slowly faded as well.

A moment later, it quieted down, lowered its head, and faced Qing Lin.

She had succeeded.

A surprised expression appeared on Qing Lin's face.

She looked at the obedient Bamboo Leaf Green Snake lying before her, hardly daring to believe it.

The magical beast that had been restless only moments ago was now lying quietly in front of her.

"Young Master Xiao Chen, I did it."

"Not bad," Xiao Chen said.

A blush rose on Qing Lin's face when she heard his praise.

She lowered her head somewhat shyly, though her heart was sweet with delight.

"Continue," Xiao Chen said.

Qing Lin nodded and continued searching for her next target.

A brown snake was coiled beneath a tree root not far away.

A first-tier magical beast, an Earth Viper.

Qing Lin activated her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, jade-green light flickering in her eyes.

Mental lock, soul connection, command.

Within a few breaths, the Earth Viper was under her control, obediently coiled where it was.

Qing Lin did not stop. She found another crimson snake.

A first-tier magical beast, a Fire Pattern Snake.

She activated her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, and jade-green light fell upon the Fire Pattern Snake.

The Fire Pattern Snake struggled briefly before quickly quieting down as well, lowering its head.

Qing Lin's technique became increasingly practiced. From locking on to taking control, the entire process flowed smoothly.

She found another black snake, a first-tier magical beast, an Ink Scale Snake.

Jade-green light descended. The Ink Scale Snake's body stiffened slightly before it obediently lowered its head.

Qing Lin wiped the sweat from her forehead, her face full of excitement.

"Young Master Xiao Chen, I can now steadily control first-tier magical beasts."

She found another Spotted Snake and a Grey Scale Snake.

Jade-green light fell in succession, and the two snakes were controlled one after the other, obediently coiling in place.

With every success, Qing Lin's confidence grew.

Just as Xiao Chen was about to have her continue practicing, the system's voice rang out in his mind.

[Detected that the host has helped Qing Lin master the control method for the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.]

[Qing Lin's mastery of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils has increased.]

[The host has obtained a feedback reward.]

[Calculating feedback... Congratulations, host, you have obtained: a sixth-grade medicinal pill formula, the Soul Recovery Pill.]

Hearing the reward, Xiao Chen's lips curved upward in a satisfied smile.

The Soul Recovery Pill was a sixth-grade medicinal pill capable of repairing soul injuries.

Although he had no use for it for the moment, it might come in handy someday.

He withdrew his thoughts and looked at Qing Lin.

"That's enough. It's time to head back."

Qing Lin nodded.

The Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake crawled out from her sleeve and rubbed against her fingers.

While Qing Lin had been practicing the control method, it had remained obediently still.

Xiao Chen led Qing Lin out of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

He circulated his dou qi and reached out to pull Qing Lin close.

Qing Lin leaned against Xiao Chen's chest, her arms wrapped around his waist.

Xiao Chen kicked off the ground and rose into the air.

The wind howled past their ears.

The forested mountains below rapidly receded, growing smaller and smaller.

Qing Lin secretly raised her head and looked at Xiao Chen's profile.

Young Master Xiao Chen was so good to her.

He taught her the control method and brought her to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to practice.

When she failed earlier, Young Master Xiao Chen had not become impatient, either.

He carefully taught her how to correct her mistakes, guiding her word by word.

Since childhood, no one had ever treated her this well.

Qing Lin murmured to herself in her heart.

She gently tightened her arms and pressed her face against Xiao Chen's chest.

Not long after, Xiao Chen landed in the back mountain of the Xiao Clan.

He withdrew his dou qi and released Qing Lin.

"Go back and rest. You used quite a bit of dou qi just now."

Qing Lin nodded.

"Young Master Xiao Chen, thank you for today."

Xiao Chen waved his hand.

Xiao Chen watched Qing Lin walk away before withdrawing his gaze.

He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and slowly circulated the dou qi within his body.

Today, he had helped Qing Lin master the control method and obtained a sixth-grade medicinal pill formula for himself.

Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, Xiao Xun'er—whenever they improved even a little, he could receive feedback.

Xiao Yan was also steadily cultivating.

Xiao Chen opened his eyes, a satisfied expression appearing on his face.

He stood, patted the dust from his clothes, and headed toward the Side Courtyard.

After returning to the Side Courtyard, Xiao Chen pushed open the door and sat on the edge of the bed.

He took out the Soul Recovery Pill formula from his robes and glanced over it.

It required quite a few medicinal ingredients: seven main ingredients and twelve supplementary ingredients.

With the resources he had accumulated so far, gathering them would not be difficult.

He would find time to refine it later.

Xiao Chen put away the formula, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began cultivating.

Dou qi slowly flowed through his meridians, cycle after cycle.

Xiao Chen immersed himself in cultivation as the dou qi within his body grew increasingly condensed.
