Her slender legs swayed lightly as the swing swung, and her bare feet sparkled with a soft luster in the sun. Without the restraint of shoes and socks, her natural beauty was even more evident.

There was a hint of playfulness and pride in Zi Yan's words, as if she had foreseen Xiao Ling's request for help. Her quirky demeanor and the cuteness revealed in her words made people feel that her confidence was not without reason.

The atmosphere in the pavilion became relaxed and cheerful because of her presence. The sunlight shining on her body reflected a lazy and moving meaning.

"Haha, such a big thing naturally depends on our brave Miss Zi Yan to take action. Whether I can tame the three thousand flames depends on whether Miss Zi Yan is willing to lend a hand and help me achieve my wish."

Xiao Ling stood quietly behind the swing, his eyes following Zi Yan's figure rising and falling in the air.

Just as she was about to fall back to the ground as the swing swung, he gently stretched out his arm and pushed softly, sending her light body and the swing forward.

Zi Yan was so amused by Xiao Ling's words that her body shook with laughter, her giggles were as clear and melodious as silver bells, and it was obvious that she was in a very happy mood. The cheerful laughter echoed in the air and reached Xiao Ling's ears, making him smile with pampering.

The swing swung to the lowest point again. This time, Zi Yan did not wait for Xiao Ling's push as usual.

She turned around nimbly, and her small body drew a light arc in the air. With the help of the swing's rebound force, she leaped and ran straight into Xiao Ling's arms.

Seeing Zi Yan's actions, Xiao Ling understood what she meant and immediately opened his arms.

Just when Zi Yan was about to fall into his arms, he caught her steadily and held the petite figure tightly in his warm arms.

The two people's movements were in perfect harmony and natural, as if this scene had been rehearsed countless times, warm and intimate.

Zi Yan left a light kiss on Xiao Ling's cheek, and then she said with a playful smile: "I really like what you said. Since you said so, I will reluctantly make an exception and help you this time."

"Thank you Miss Zi Yan for your generous help. I have no way to repay such a kindness. The only way to express my gratitude is to repay you with my body." Xiao Ling could only respond with a helpless chuckle and then cooperate with her performance.

He knew in his heart that Zi Yan was just joking, but he still couldn't help laughing at her pretending to be serious.

"Hehe, you are a sensible guy."

Zi Yan chuckled, and seemed quite satisfied with Xiao Ling's answer. She then slowly stood up.

The little hand clenched gently, and a purple light surged in her palm, gradually condensing. In the movement of the light, a half-foot long purple dragon gradually took shape.

Under Xiao Ling's gaze, although the purple dragon had its eyes closed and its body curled up, and was just an illusory image, the dragon power it emanated was extremely terrifying, as if it could shock people.

The invisible force permeated the air, making people feel awe.

"Tsk tsk, could this be the legendary dragon seal of the Taixu ancient dragon clan? What an extraordinary work." Xiao Ling stared at the illusory purple dragon shadow in front of him. Although it was only an illusion, the power emanating from it was not to be underestimated in the slightest.

"Hehe, this is just a little trick, not the real dragon seal. Next, I will plant the dragon seal in your hand. In this way, your chances of subduing the Three Thousand Flames will be greatly improved."

Zi Yan hummed softly, with a smug smile on her lips, as if she had foreseen the scene of Xiao Ling successfully subduing the Three Thousand Flames.

"If it weren't for an elder of my Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan who had branded a dragon seal in the body of the Three Thousand Flames, making it impossible for later generations to tame it, otherwise, it would be hard to predict whether the Three Thousand Flames would fall into your hands."

Xiao Ling did not comment on Zi Yan's words, and he naturally knew the reason. A long time ago, when the Three Thousand Flames were still in their infancy, an elder of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan discovered it.

But at that time, the Three Thousand Flames were too weak to be used, so the elder left a dragon mark in its body. This is also the reason why the Three Thousand Flames grew into the same body shape as the Taixu Ancient Dragon.

Chapter 481 Star Field Opening

"Okay, stop dawdling and put your hand over here. I'll help you plant the dragon seal right now." Zi Yan smiled with a hint of playfulness in her laughter. She clenched her little hand gently, and then an exquisite little jade bottle appeared in her palm.

Inside the jade bottle, there was a little dark golden liquid, which was rippling slightly in the bottle, as if it contained some mysterious power.

Faintly, an extremely powerful dragon might overflowed from the mouth of the bottle and filled the air, making people unconsciously feel awe.

"Tsk tsk, the origin of this blood must be extraordinary, right?" Xiao Ling smacked his lips, his eyes revealing an inquiring look. "Although its aura is quite similar to yours, if you taste it carefully, you can still detect subtle differences. The aura and sense of vicissitudes contained in this blood should have been left by a senior in your clan who has lived for who knows how long."

As he said this, Xiao Ling slowly stretched out his right hand, palm facing up, and placed it in front of Zi Yan, his movements revealing an unspoken trust.

"You can rest assured. I quietly obtained this ancient dragon blood from an elder of our tribe who had been sleeping for many years." Zi Yan's words revealed a hint of pride that was difficult to conceal.

"Its preciousness needs no further explanation. The power of the dragon seal formed by this blood undoubtedly surpasses the seal casually set by the predecessor in the past. Therefore, with the help of this dragon seal and your own soul power, it will be a sure thing to subdue the Three Thousand Flames."

Zi Yan paused, a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes, and continued: "You just need to find a perfect opportunity, preferably when that guy is seriously injured. Then use this dragon seal and you will be able to subdue him in one fell swoop!"

Xiao Ling stood quietly, letting Zi Yan's soft hands gently support his palms. He nodded slightly, appearing calm on the surface, but he couldn't help but start thinking in his heart.

The sleeping Taixu Ancient Dragon elders that Zi Yan mentioned, could they be those elders in the clan who were in seclusion? The third elder Zhu Li was not in seclusion, so the blood of the ancient dragon must have been secretly taken by Zi Yan from one of the two elders, Qingshan or Qingmu.

Being able to extract blood from a Dousheng-level Taixu Ancient Dragon was incredible. But on second thought, considering Zi Yan's special status in the clan, such a feat was reasonable.

If he hadn't been able to see Zhu Kun, once Zi Yan opened her mouth, Zhu Kun would probably have bled her without hesitation.

Zi Yan explained softly while operating carefully. Her fingers gently shook the jade bottle, and a drop of dark golden blood dripped from it.

The blood dripped slowly onto Xiao Ling's open palm. A faint dripping sound seemed to be heard in the air, and the sound was particularly clear in the quiet space.

As Zi Yan's hand seals changed rapidly, the drop of dark golden blood seemed to be given life and began to flow along the texture of Xiao Ling's palm, gradually forming a complex and strange rune.

The rune shone with a mysterious luster against the backdrop of blood, and finally solidified in Xiao Ling's palm.

At this moment, the rune seemed to be activated. It began to slowly deform and finally condensed into a purple-gold dragon shape.

The dragon shadow circled in Xiao Ling's palm, as if it would take off into the air at any time, exuding an ancient and majestic aura.

"Okay, it's done." Zi Yan raised the corners of her lips slightly, revealing a smug smile, and gently let go of Xiao Ling's hand.

Then, her eyes flickered cunningly as she glanced at Xiao Ling, her tone teasing: "However, after you get this dragon seal, don't think about getting away from me so easily. No matter where you go, even to the ends of the earth, I can sense your presence through this dragon seal."

As soon as Zi Yan finished speaking, Xiao Ling's reaction paused for a moment. Then, he showed a bitter smile and shook his head slightly, as if he was both surprised and amused by Zi Yan's behavior.

Then, he pretended to be serious and said with a somewhat helpless tone: "You guys, you really have ulterior motives. I should have known that you would not help me so easily."

“Hehe, so what? If you really don’t want to be bound by this dragon seal, you can also choose to forcibly erase it before it completely merges with you. However, it depends on whether you can make up your mind.”

Zi Yan put her hands on her waist, and the two purple ponytails behind her swayed gently with her movements, looking very lively. She turned her head and squinted at Xiao Ling with a vicious look, the meaning was self-evident.

When Xiao Ling saw Zi Yan's look, he chuckled helplessly. How could he not understand what Zi Yan was thinking.

"It's not my style to do such stupid things. I might get into trouble someday and need our wise and brave Miss Zi Yan to help me."

As Xiao Ling spoke, he reached out and gently picked up Zi Yan and held her in his arms. His movements were gentle and powerful. Zi Yan struggled slightly in his arms, but did not really resist.

Xiao Ling gently touched her pretty little face, his eyes full of pampering and tenderness, "With this dragon seal as a guide, even if we separate later, it will be easier for you to find me again, isn't it?"

Zi Yan's cheeks turned slightly red at Xiao Ling's behavior. She glared at him in pretended dissatisfaction, but there was a hint of sweetness in her eyes that was hard to conceal.

"Hehe, since you've already said that, if you're really in danger, I'll reluctantly help you." Zi Yan adjusted herself to a more comfortable position in Xiao Ling's arms. After sitting firmly, she gently shook her purple ponytail, looking a little proud.

Then, she handed the small jade bottle containing the dark golden liquid to Xiao Ling and continued,

"You can take this too. When you enter that star region, find a suitable opportunity to smear the blood in this bottle on the forehead of Three Thousand Flames. This way, the dragon seal hidden in its body will awaken, allowing you to fight it in a spiritual battle. As for the consequences of this duel, I think you know the consequences in your heart without my further explanation."

Zi Yan's words were serious. She paused, a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes, and then she said, "However, if you have prepared all this but still cannot subdue the Three Thousand Flames, then I have nothing to say. At that time, you might as well find a piece of tofu and kill yourself...

"Thank you, Zi Yan. I will definitely take these Three Thousand Flames of Fire." Xiao Ling nodded slightly, then took the jade bottle handed to him by Zi Yan, rubbed it for a while, and put it properly into the ring, his tone full of confidence.

Although for others, using the Dragon Seal to engage in a fierce battle on the soul level with the Three Thousand Flames is undoubtedly a matter full of extreme danger and huge risks.

However, that was only for other people. In Xiao Ling's opinion, this matter was not as risky as others imagined.

Xiao Ling has the dragon seal carefully carved by Zi Yan as his strong backing, plus his own soul power that is about to reach the state of great perfection.

Even the Taixu Ancient Dragon, who had gone through countless years of tempering, would only taste the bitter fruit of failure if he confronted Xiao Ling in a duel of soul power.

In his eyes, this contest was not a gamble on the brink of life and death, but a contest whose outcome was already known.

As long as the time is right, the Three Thousand Flames will fall into Xiao Ling's hands and become a precious resource on his path of cultivation, helping him to reach a higher level of strength...

Zi Yan gently rubbed Xiao Ling's arms for a few times, seeming to enjoy the rare intimacy. After a moment, she jumped down lightly, tapping the ground with her toes, and landed steadily beside Xiao Ling.

Then, Zi Yan's movements were smooth and natural. She gently stretched out her hand and clasped it with Xiao Ling's. There was a gleam of anticipation in her eyes and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, as if some exciting idea was surging in her heart.

"By the way, Xiao Ling," Zi Yan's voice was filled with impatience, "Today, Shengdan City will hold a grand auction. Let's go quickly. At the last auction, sister Medusa and I found a lot of surprising treasures."

"I happen to be free today, and I'm also quite interested in that auction, so let's go shopping together..." Xiao Ling observed Zi Yan's excited expression and understood her expectations, so he naturally had no intention of refusing.

He smiled gently, and that smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, warm and gentle, and then he agreed casually.

"Hehe, then we can't delay any longer," Zi Yan laughed, her eyes sparkling with excitement, "We have to leave quickly. If we are late, I'm afraid we won't even be able to grab a seat in the private room, and that would be a waste of time."

Before she finished her words, she tightly grasped Xiao Ling's hand, her steps light and eager.

Zi Yan was in front and Xiao Ling was behind. The two of them walked quickly along the winding path towards the exit of the courtyard.

The sunlight fell gently on them, as if outlining a brilliant golden edge around their receding figures.

As they walked away, the tranquility of the courtyard was broken, leaving only the sound of their cheerful conversation echoing in the air. That sound, filled with warmth and tranquility, crossed the boundaries of the courtyard, drifted into the distance, and echoed in the hearts of the two people...

……

The two days seemed to pass in just a flash as so many people were eagerly waiting.

When the morning light of the next day slowly rose from the horizon, after a brief period of tranquility, Shengdan City was boiling again. People in the city set out one after another and hurried towards the direction of Danta.

Today will be an important day for the top ten contestants of the Danhui to enter the star field and challenge to conquer the Three Thousand Flames.

Everyone's heart is filled with curiosity and anticipation. Will the Three Thousand Flames that have been sealed by Danta for countless years really be under the control of a master today?

Taming the strange fire is an extremely rare event, so they naturally don't want to miss out on such excitement.

What's more, many people in the know understand that the safety of this strange fire is directly related to the fate of countless lives in Shengdan City.

As long as the hidden danger of the Three Thousand Flames is not eliminated, Shengdan City will always be on the verge of danger and may face unpredictable crises at any time.

Outside the Danta, the morning air was already noisy before it fully woke up. The voices of people were as noisy as boiling water, and the dark crowds filled every street and alley. Their figures intertwined in the morning light, forming a lively picture.

The sunlight gradually covered the earth and shone on the Danta, making it look more majestic and solemn.

The towering Dan Tower stands quietly like an ancient guardian. Every brick and tile of it is engraved with traces of time, witnessing the changes of the times and recording every turning point in history.

The sunlight and shadows interweave on the tower, adding a sense of mystery and majesty to it, which makes people feel awe.

As the bright sun in the sky slowly climbed to the zenith, finally, three figures flew up from the top of the Dan Tower. They were like arrows shot from a bow, cutting through the sky, and finally suspended in the distant sky, as if they had merged into the clouds in the sky.

"All the top ten talents in this world's alchemy conference, who are entering the star field, quickly prepare yourself!"

Xuan Kongzi's figure was suspended above the sky. He was high above, looking down at the world below with a sharp gaze.

His voice was deep and powerful, echoing throughout the vast world, as if carrying some kind of awe-inspiring power.

As Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, a series of rapid sounds of breaking wind suddenly rang out in the air.

shhhhhh!

Figures were like meteors streaking across the night sky, rushing from all directions. Their speed was so fast that it was hard to keep up.

In the blink of an eye, these figures stopped in the sky, arranged in an orderly manner with extraordinary momentum.

Looking closely, these heroic figures were none other than Xiao Ling and others who were among the top ten.

They each stood in the clouds, with upright postures and calm expressions, as if they were ready for the next challenge.
