Xiao Yan watched intently as Qing Lin used his ability to summon the Six-Winged Black Snake King, his eyes filled with undisguised envy.
Because Xiao Yan often came to Xiao Ling to learn alchemy, he would occasionally communicate with Qing Lin and the other girls. He had also heard about Qing Lin's unique abilities.
At that time, Qing Lin, who was only ten years old, casually summoned a fourth-level snake pet, which really scared Xiao Yan.
Xiao Ling exerted a little strength and then jumped onto the broad back of the six-winged black snake king. Seeing Xiao Ling doing this, everyone also jumped onto it.
Qinglin patted the head of the six-winged black snake king, pointed in the direction of Canaan Academy, and conveyed the order to fly.
Following Qinglin's order, the six-winged black snake king flapped its wings and rushed into the sky with a roar.
Standing on the back of the six-winged black snake king, the wind whistled in my ears and the scenery below quickly receded.
Accompanied by strong winds and expectations, everyone rushed towards Canaan College with their own thoughts. The road ahead was still long, and their story had just begun.
……
The six-winged black snake king flew quickly all the way through the thick clouds.
Suddenly, the scene below became clear, and a vast black plain appeared before our eyes.
The land was shrouded in gloomy fog, with rolling hills and deep valleys vaguely visible.
Strange lights flash in the valley from time to time, as if hiding unknown dangers and secrets.
In the distance, ruined castles stood on the plain, surrounded by messy tents and people coming and going with vigilant expressions.
The people on the Black Horn Region Plain were either busy or chatting, but when the huge body of the Six-Winged Black Snake King suddenly appeared, everyone was stunned for a moment, with shock on their faces.
Chapter 134 Black Seal City
"That's a fifth-level magical beast, the Six-winged Black Snake King! The person who can tame it and use it as a mount must be an extremely powerful character!"
"That's right. If someone dares to show off like this in the Black Horn Region, he must be extremely powerful. We must not provoke him. If we anger him, we will lose our lives."
"Yes, yes, yes. We can't afford to offend such an important person. We just hope that they don't notice us and leave quickly. Don't stay here."
Everyone was whispering to each other with trembling voices, looking in the direction where Xiao Ling and the others were going away. Their eyes were full of fear and retreat, and they didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of attracting the attention of Xiao Ling and the others.
Xiao Ling had no interest in these people who made a living by plundering. Xiao Ling patted the six-winged black snake king and signaled him to continue moving forward.
The six-winged black snake king understood his meaning, flapped his wings and flew high, leading everyone away from the Black Horn Plain which was full of insecurity and danger.
After another half a day of flying, a huge mountain appeared in everyone's sight.
At the foot of the mountain, a huge city made up of huge black rocks appeared vaguely.
At the four gates of the city, the atmosphere was gloomy and depressing.
The city gate is tall and heavy, like the tightly closed mouth of a giant beast, exuding an unsettling atmosphere. The black metal surface is covered with rust, as if telling the vicissitudes and sufferings that the city has experienced.
In the center of the city gate, the three characters "Black Seal City" were written in bold and powerful strokes, but also revealed a chilling atmosphere.
On both sides of the city gate stood a group of fully armed guards. They had stern faces and ruthlessness and indifference in their eyes. They looked at the passers-by like cold sculptures.
The people entering the city were silent, all in a hurry, with heavy steps. Those carrying bags were hunched over, as if they were suffocated by an invisible burden.
The man riding the skinny horse lowered his head, his face full of fatigue and helplessness; the cart pushing the goods moved with difficulty on the rough ground, making an annoying squeak.
Occasionally there were a few low shouts, but they were quickly drowned out by the gloomy atmosphere. Children did not dare to cry for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.
The entire city gate seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze, making people feel extremely depressed and dull.
"This is the Black Horn Region. There is no order, and strength is the only truth. When you go to the Black Horn Region in the future, you must not be careless." Xiao Ling, who was sitting at the banquet, stood up and gave a few instructions to Xiao Yan behind him.
"Don't worry, cousin. I will pay attention." Seeing Xiao Ling's serious expression, Xiao Yan nodded seriously.
Xiao Ling formed a specific hand seal and used the illusion of dream to block the perception of the people below.
Xiao Ling's hands moved rapidly, strange rays of light flowed across his fingertips, and mysterious runes appeared and disappeared.
The strange light spread out in an instant, covering the people below like an overwhelming force, causing a subtle effect that made it difficult for them to notice the six-winged black snake king in the sky.
After passing through the gate of Black Seal City, Xiao Ling found a relatively open place and let the Six-Winged Black Snake King land.
The six-winged black snake king circled in the air and slowly descended. Its huge wings created gusts of wind, causing dust to fly on the streets below. Xiao Ling stood steadily on the back of the six-winged black snake king, his expression serious and focused. He stared at an empty space below. It was an abandoned square with not many pedestrians around. It was a relatively safe landing point.
As the six-winged black snake king gradually approached the ground, the speed of its wings flapping slowed down, and its huge body gradually lowered its altitude. Xiao Ling took the lead and jumped off the back of the six-winged black snake king, landing steadily on the gravel-covered ground with both feet.
Xiao Yan, Zi Yan, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin followed closely behind and jumped down one after another. Xiao Yan stumbled slightly when he landed, and Xiao Ling reached out and supported him in time.
After everyone landed, the six-winged black snake king's huge body trembled slightly and let out a low hiss, as if expressing its exhaustion after flying. Qinglin walked forward and gently stroked the body of the six-winged black snake king to soothe its emotions.
Xiao Ling looked around and after making sure that he had not attracted anyone else's attention, he led everyone to an inn and rented a small courtyard.
After confirming that there was no danger around that could threaten them, Xiao Ling said to everyone, "I'm going to get something first. You guys find a place to rest. Once I get that thing, we'll go back to Canaan College."
After instructing a few people, Xiao Ling left the small courtyard, wrapped himself in a black robe, and headed towards the largest auction house in Heiyin City.
Xiao Ling arrived at the door of the Black Seal Auction House and slowly looked up at the auction house. The building in front of him was magnificent, even more majestic than the Miter Auction House headquarters in the Jiama Empire.
At the gate of the Black Seal Auction House, dozens of men in black suits with indifferent expressions were wearing sharp weapons on their waists. Their sharp eyes like eagles were constantly scanning the flow of people going in and out, and there was a faint trace of light seeping through the bodies of these men. Judging from the auras coming out, five of them were at the Dou Master level, and the others were also at the peak level of Dou Masters.
The fact that a fighting master could come to watch the gate showed the strength of the Black Seal Auction House. Compared with the Miter family in the Gama Empire, it was much stronger.
Relying on his Dou Huang cultivation, Xiao Ling released a layer of Dou Qi around him, making it difficult for people around him to approach him, thus entering the auction hall easily.
His eyes swept around and finally stopped on the door frame of a treasure appraisal room. Xiao Ling hesitated for a moment and then walked in slowly.
As soon as Xiao Ling entered the treasure appraisal room, a maid dressed in hot clothes came forward and said in a charming voice, "Sir, are you here to appraise treasures? Or are you here to do a price assessment for the auction?"
"The latter." Xiao Ling glanced at the maid's hot body and replied calmly.
"Please follow me." The maid smiled charmingly, then turned around and walked in front of Xiao Ling with her snake-like waist.
Xiao Ling retracted his gaze from the maid and followed her footsteps. He complained in his heart, "I don't know if this is a standard feature of fantasy novels, but there are usually some hot maids in auction houses."
After walking for several dozen meters behind the maid, the former stopped in front of a small secret room, bowed respectfully to Xiao Ling, and said with a smile: "Sir, as long as you hand over the items you want to auction to the masters inside for evaluation and review, you will be able to obtain auction seats of different levels according to the preciousness of the items you auction."
Nodding slightly, Xiao Ling gently pushed open the black wooden door, walked in, and closed the door.
Chapter 135 Looting Treasures
The light in the small secret room was bright and soft. Xiao Ling walked into the room with steady steps. An old man with slightly gray hair immediately cast an inquiring look at him.
However, since Xiao Ling was completely covered by the wide black robe, the old man naturally did not notice anything.
Seeing the appraiser's expectant eyes, Xiao Ling calmly took out an exquisite jade bottle from his ring and placed it steadily on the table in front of the appraiser.
Xiao Ling's face was as calm as water, and he said to the appraiser in a cold tone: "This is an Imperial Pill. Don't waste my time. Call out the person in charge here."
As early as after entering the auction house, Xiao Ling keenly discovered a Douhuang aura in it. Its strength was comparable to that of Yun Yun whom he had met before. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be Yuan Yi, the leader of the Eight Gates.
Hearing Xiao Ling's urging, the appraiser, who had been listless and tired, suddenly became focused and ardent. He hurriedly held the jade bottle carefully in his hand, then quickly opened the stopper and could not wait to look inside.
In the jade bottle, there lies a beautiful pill quietly. This pill is extremely round and smooth, with bright and eye-catching color, just like a pearl, emitting a soft and mysterious luster, which is fascinating. Gently open the jade bottle, and a quiet and pleasant, refreshing fragrance instantly overflows like a tide. Its surface is flawless, which can be called perfect.
With the rich experience gained over the years, the appraiser recognized at a glance that this pill was an Imperial Pill, and it was of excellent quality, definitely the best among the Imperial Pills.
Upon learning that the mysterious man had taken out the Huangji Pill, the appraiser was immediately shocked. He quickly bowed deeply to Xiao Ling, and his eyes instantly became extremely respectful.
"Sir, I'm really sorry. I didn't recognize your talent. I didn't expect you to come up with such a precious elixir." The appraiser's voice was filled with deep awe, and beads of sweat quickly appeared on his forehead.
In the Black Horn Region, except for the Lord of Fengcheng, the "Emperor of Medicine" Han Feng, no one else could refine the sixth-grade elixir. This mysterious man could produce a sixth-grade Huangji Pill, so he might be a sixth-grade alchemist. He must not offend such a big shot.
Xiao Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly, "Since you have determined the value of this pill, why don't you go and call your manager over."
The appraiser nodded repeatedly, and replied tremblingly, "Please wait a moment, sir. I will go and ask our sect leader to come. With his rich experience, he will definitely give a fair price for this medicine."
After saying this, he turned around hurriedly and ran towards the inner hall with slightly panicked steps.
After a while, an old man dressed in luxurious clothes and with extraordinary temperament came quickly under the guidance of the appraiser.
He exuded the powerful aura of a two-star Douhuang, and it was none other than Yuan Yi, the leader of the Eight Gates.
Yuan Yi quickly glanced at the pill, a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes, and then he bowed to Xiao Ling and said, "My friend, I am Yuan Yi, the leader of the Eight Gates. This pill is of excellent quality and is rare. Is it made by you personally? We are willing to buy it at a high price. What do you think?"
Although Yuan Yi maintained a seemingly sincere smile on his face, he was already very shocked in his heart. In his keen perception, the cultivation level of this mysterious man in front of him was unfathomable, giving him a feeling of extreme danger.
This person's strength is definitely above Dou Huang level. He is able to produce a sixth-grade Huangji Pill. Maybe he is a sixth-grade alchemist.
Xiao Ling's mouth corners slightly raised, and he responded calmly and leisurely: "This sixth-grade Huangji Pill was indeed refined by me personally. As for whether it can be traded, it depends on your sincerity."
Hearing this, Yuan Yi's mind suddenly became active.
A sixth-grade alchemist who can refine the Huangji Pill may also be able to refine the Pozong Pill.
If such a person could be recruited into the Eight Gates, the strength of the force would definitely be enhanced quickly.
In the Black Horn Region, the influence of a sixth-rank alchemist is not just something that can be said casually.
To take a step back, even if he cannot be won over to the Eight Gates, making friends with such a person will be beneficial to him in every way, and he can also ask for help when he needs to refine pills in the future.
With a shrewd plan in mind, Yuan Yi smiled even more, "My friend, can we discuss this somewhere else? Let's drink tea while we discuss how to exchange this Huangji Pill."
Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows, and a faint smile appeared on his face. "In that case, please lead the way."
Following Yuan Yi's footsteps, the two came to a luxuriously decorated room.
After Yuan Yi and Xiao Ling sat down one after another, the maid beside them gently poured tea for them.
Afterwards, the maids quietly left the room, leaving Yuan Yi and Xiao Ling alone.
Yuan Yi took a sip of the fragrant tea and looked at the figure covered by the black robe opposite him. "My friend, I guess you are not from the Black Horn Region before. I, Yuan Yi, have been in the Black Horn Region for many years and am quite famous. If you need any help, you can come to the Eight Gates to find me."
Hearing this, Xiao Ling smiled faintly and responded with interest, "Since Sect Master Yuan is so generous, I really have a favor to do you."
As he spoke, Xiao Ling quietly released a mysterious soul barrier, which covered the room tightly. No matter what happened next, the guards outside the door would be completely unaware.
Yuan Yi was not aware of this at all. His eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "As long as it is within my ability, I will do my best to help! Just say it, my friend."
Yuan Yi kept thinking in his heart that this mysterious man was unfathomable. If what he asked for could bring enough benefits, it would be reasonable for him to help.
Yuan Yi had been through a lot in the Black Horn Region and knew the pros and cons. If this matter could help the Eight Gates increase their strength and wealth, then he would definitely go all out.
But if the crisis is too great and far beyond what I can bear, I will not do such a thankless task.
Xiao Ling smiled faintly and spoke slowly: "Master Yuan, actually my elixir..." He paused halfway through his words, his eyes wandering, as if he was thinking about something, which made Yuan Yi curious, and his attention was distracted, and his vigilance was unconsciously reduced.
Seeing that Yuan Yi had relaxed his vigilance, Xiao Ling seized the opportunity, concentrated his mind, and quickly formed seals with his hands.
His powerful soul force that had reached the spiritual realm surged instantly, and faint light patterns suddenly appeared around him.
Almost in an instant, the power of "Phantom Dream Shadow" exploded, and before Yuan Yi could react, he was easily controlled and fell into the confused state of the intermediate stage of "Phantom Dream Shadow".
