The fortress was built on the mountain, like a tiger, guarding the main road leading to the outside of the empire. Anyone who wanted to leave the empire had to pass through this huge fortress. This heavily guarded fortress has swallowed up countless battlefield souls over the years, which is why many surrounding empires fear it like a tiger.

Therefore, this fortress has a rather ominous name.

Ghost town!

……

As Xiao Ling watched, the outline of a huge fortress appeared in his field of vision. Even though it was far away, it still exuded a murderous aura. It was obvious that many wars had taken place here, and it was unknown how many people had lost their lives here.

As it gradually approached the huge fortress, the griffin's figure was noticed by the soldiers on the fortress.

Although it was at least hundreds of meters away from the ground, at this height, if the soldiers below looked up, they could only see the silhouette of a bird, and could not see Xiao Ling and Zi Yan standing on it. However, with Xiao Ling's eyesight, he could take in all the movements on the ground very clearly.

At this time, the soldiers were already on full alert, as if when the monster approached, they would bend their bows and draw their arrows to shoot the bird down from the sky.

In the commander's office of the Zhengui Pass Fortress, a middle-aged man was handling some work. This man was none other than the commander of the Zhengui Pass, Mu Tie, who came from one of the three major families in the Gama Empire, the Mu family, and his strength had reached the peak of the Dou Ling realm.

Suddenly, a soldier in armor walked in, saluted, and then said, "Report to the commander, a fourth-level flying monster came from the sky. It looks like the griffin beast from Canaan Academy."

After hearing the soldier's report, Mu Tie frowned and said with some confusion: "It's still more than half a year before Canaan College starts recruiting students. Why are you here now? Let's go out and take a look first." After that, he stood up from his seat and walked outside.

When Mu Tie and his soldiers reached the fortress, the griffin in the sky had stopped moving and was suspended in the air.

Two figures walked to the top of the griffin. The one walking in front was a young man who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. He had blue hair draped over his shoulders. He was quite handsome, with fair skin and a masculine look. He was tall and straight, and had a friendly temperament. Behind the young man was a little girl who looked about eleven or twelve years old. She was wearing a white dress and had soft purple hair tied into a pair of ponytails. She looked very cute.

Under the shocked gazes of Mu Tie and the soldiers, the young man and the little girl behind him spread a pair of fighting wings behind them and flew slowly towards the fortress.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers on the fortress gasped and began to exclaim:

"Hiss, Dou Wang is strong!"

"Two Dou Wang masters appeared at the same time. What on earth happened?"

"That little girl is actually also a Dou Wang strongman, how is that possible?"

Even Mu Tie, the strongest here, was shocked and said to himself, "There is such a young Dou Wang strongman. What force has cultivated this monster? What is the purpose of his coming to my Jia Ma Empire?"

After Xiao Ling and Zi Yan flew down from the griffin, the griffin flew away in the direction they came from. Seeing this, Mu Tie was sure that the two were definitely coming to the Jiama Empire. He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked the two people, "I am Mu Tie, the commander-in-chief of the Ghost Pass. What are you doing here, or are you here to travel the Jiama Empire?"

When Xiao Ling heard the other party introduce himself and ask about his purpose, he did not keep the secret any longer and said, "I am Xiao Ling, the elder from Canaan College in the Black Horn Region, and a member of the Xiao family in Wutan City of the Jiama Empire. The person behind me is my companion. Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you or the Jiama Empire."

Hearing the word "Xiao Ling", Mu Tie thought about it and recalled a name that had spread throughout the imperial capital a few years ago, "Xiao Ling, the first genius in the Gama Empire in a thousand years." According to the news from the major forces, this person practiced Qi at the age of four and a half, broke through the fighter at the age of eight, and then went to Canaan College for further studies, and there was no news. At that time, the major forces and families in the Gama Empire who received the news wanted to invite Xiao Ling to join their forces, but they could not find the trace of this person. According to what the head of the family said, the guardian of the royal family wanted to marry the little princess of the royal family to this person to pull him into the royal family. When this person grows up, there will be no need to worry about the guardian's death. No one can suppress the rising Yunlan Sect. But no one expected that now, in just seven years, the little fighter at that time has become a Dou Wang strongman. This talent is worthy of the name of "the first genius in the Gama Empire in a thousand years."

Without thinking about these things any more, Mu Tie hurried forward and said with a smile: "Hahaha, it turns out to be Xiao Ling, the genius famous throughout the Jiama Empire. I have heard of your name for a long time. After meeting you today, I find that you are indeed a young talent. At such a young age, you are already a Dou Wang strongman, much stronger than an old man like me who has practiced for most of my life."

At this time, the two of them had already landed on the city wall. Xiao Ling waved his hand and said, "I will not say any more polite words. I have to find someone first. Please help me deliver a letter to the Xiao family in Wutan City. Then let the royal family escort my family members to the imperial capital, and arrange a place for the Xiao family to live in the imperial capital. After that, as long as the royal family can gather the materials for three sets of Po Zong Dan, I can help Jia Lao refine a Po Zong Dan. As long as you can do this well, I believe the royal family will also credit you for your contribution." After speaking, Xiao Ling took out an alchemist badge from the ring.

As a sixth-grade alchemist certified by Canaan College, Xiao Ling also has his own alchemist badge.

However, Xiao Ling usually does not show off in front of others. He is a low-key person and rarely wears it on his body.

Because of Danta's huge influence, the alchemist badges on the Douqi Continent look different, but they are all different in color. The one on the Northwest Continent is a medicine cauldron with silver ripples.

As a high-ranking alchemist, there are several silver ripples on the medicine cauldron.

And the alchemist badge that Xiao Ling had just taken out from the ring had six ripples like flowing water on the medicine cauldron, which looked quite spiritual.

This kind of alchemist's badge is extremely difficult to forge, and even those who have the ability to forge it will not try to do so.

Not only is counterfeiting badges extremely dishonorable, but it is also easy to offend alchemists if they are discovered. In the Douqi Continent, alchemists are an extremely arrogant group.

After listening to Xiao Ling's words, Mu Tie turned his gaze to the alchemist badge in Xiao Ling's hand and began to count the number of ripples on it.

"One, two, three, four, five, six. He is actually a sixth-rank alchemist."

This scared Mu Tie a lot. He didn't expect that Xiao Ling had a monstrous talent in cultivation, and his alchemy skills were even better. You have to know that in all these years, the Jiama Empire has only had one sixth-grade alchemist, Master Gu He, a guest elder of the Yunlan Sect. And from Xiao Ling's tone, he was a sixth-grade alchemist who could refine the Sect Breaking Pill. Master Gu He couldn't even refine the Huangji Pill. He could refine the Sect Breaking Pill which was more difficult than the Huangji Pill. That meant that Xiao Ling's alchemy skills were unmatched in the Jiama Empire. It only took him seven years to surpass Master Gu He's half a lifetime of hard work. Hiss... this talent was really terrifying.

Slightly releasing a trace of the heat of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, Xiao Ling waved his hand and said, "It was just luck that I got a strange fire, so my alchemy skills improved so quickly."

Xiao Ling spread the news of the strange fire in order to get the Nalan family to come to him and ask him to remove the poison for Nalan Jie, so that he could get the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva. Xiao Ling didn't want to rush to their house to help. Besides, no one in the Jiama Empire could take the strange fire from him. Even if Jie Jie wanted to catch him, it would be easy for him to escape with the speed of the Split Sky Seat.

Feeling the terrifying temperature that made his heart palpitate, Mu Tie was shocked again. He was actually an alchemist who possessed a strange fire. Master Gu He had been searching for clues about the strange fire for most of his life but couldn't find them. This person actually possessed a strange fire at such a young age. This luck was really enviable.

Mu Tie quickly cupped his hands and said in a more respectful tone than before: "I was a little rude before. I didn't expect that Master Xiao Ling is actually a sixth-rank alchemist. I apologize to you first."

Waving his hand, he put the alchemist badge into the ring, took out a letter, handed it to Mu Tie, and instructed: "No need to do this. If this matter is done, you will need to refine the Dou Ling Pill to break through to the Dou Wang level in the future. As long as the medicinal materials are ready, I can help you refine one when I am free."

Hearing this, Mu Tie was delighted. Now he was only one step away from becoming a Dou Wang. After breaking through to the Dou Wang level, he would definitely be able to use the Dou Ling Dan. By then, maybe he would even be able to have a place among the top ten strongest men in the empire. He would have to start collecting some medicinal materials for the Dou Ling Dan.

After receiving the letter, Mu Tie said solemnly: "Mu Tie will definitely live up to your trust. Master Xiao Ling, just go and look for someone without any worries."

Nodding, Xiao Ling took Zi Yan's hand and began to fly towards the Tagor Desert. After a while, they disappeared from Mu Tie's sight.

After seeing that the two had left, Mu Tie quickly handed the letter to his personal guard and asked him to take it to the Xiao family in Wutan City. He also quickly took action and reported the matter to the royal family.

Xiao Ling, flying in the air, couldn't help but look forward to the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong. When he was reading novels in his previous life, Xiao Ling liked the character of Hai Bodong very much. Now he was about to meet him in person. It was a wonderful feeling.

Chapter 51 Large-scale Haibodong documentary

ps: free chapters are just for fun

In the Douqi Continent, no one will fail to offer a cigarette to Brother Dong.

That's right, this is the first angel investor, the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, who is strong when facing a strong opponent and dead when facing a snake.

Don’t ask why Hai Lao’s investment was so successful while Dugu Bo’s investment next door failed.

The question is, "It is better to rely on Yan than on San."

But in Hai Lao's hands, no map is sold for free.

At the beginning, he suffered from a poor sense of direction and accidentally entered the territory of the snake people. Fortunately, his strength was sealed by Queen Medusa, and then he met Emperor Yan.

Yan Di not only lifted the seal on Hai Lao, but also gave him a job, letting Hai Lao be Yan Di's bodyguard for a year.

But this job does not provide food or accommodation, and I have to work hard to take care of the family.

At the Alchemist Conference, when Hai Lao heard Jia Lao say, "Hey~ Hai Bodong, when did you make such a cowardly friend?"

Hai Bodong thought to himself, "How could an angel investor like me misjudge someone? But after hearing what you said, I remembered that I once had a friend who was just as cowardly. He turned into a commentator when facing a strong opponent and became a casualty when fighting."

When Emperor Yan was being hunted by the Yunlan Sect, Hai Lao, who had already known the direction of the plot, stood in front of Emperor Yan without hesitation.

I will protect Emperor Yan even if it means sacrificing my life.

Seeing this, Jia Lao said something that would be considered shocking even in the history of the entire universe, "It seems that Xiao Yan is a great temptation to Hai Bodong~"

Hai Lao, who has been in the industry for many years, simply replied calmly: "Just think of this as a gamble by me."

Hai Lao of the Yunlan Sect performed a hat trick and saved Emperor Yan three times. From then on, the gears of Hai Lao's destiny to counterattack and become the Gambler Saint began to turn.

Three years later, the Yunlan Sect launched a massive attack on the Mitre family.

Hai Lao was trapped in a large formation. It seemed to you that Hai Lao was in a panic, but in fact he was scared to death. No, he was actually as steady as an old dog. On the surface, it seemed that Xiao Yan came to the rescue, but in fact it was Hai Lao who made the bet.

The moment he saw the Soul-Restoring Purple Pill, Hai Lao knew, "From now on, I, Hai Bodong, will be free from restraints."

General MacArthur, who was far away in Zhongzhou, commented after hearing about this: "At first I thought Hai Lao and Xiao Yan were brothers, but in fact they are brothers-in-law. Originally Xiao Yan and Hai Lao were each one, but unfortunately, although Hai Lao won miserably, he also lost miserably. In the end, Hai Lao dreamed of a butterfly. You are a blessing as well as a calamity."

Chapter 52 Hai Bodong

In order to speed up the journey to Mo City, Xiao Ling awakened the Rayquaza on his wrist, and the two of them rode on the Rayquaza at full speed towards Mo City.

One day later, in the eastern border of the Gama Empire, at the edge of the Tagor Desert, in the desert city.

A slender creature rushed through the sky, and the surrounding clouds were cut into a blue channel, which made it particularly eye-catching.

With the help of Likongzuo's speed that surpassed that of ordinary Dou Zong masters, it only took about a day for Shimo City to appear in their sight.

Xiao Ling said to Zi Yan who was standing beside him, "Let's go together. Don't attract too much attention. Don't steal the herbs from other people's treasure houses, or else you'll get yourself into trouble. If people say that I'm a sixth-rank alchemist and I stole herbs, that won't sound good."

Zi Yan scratched her head and said with a guilty conscience: "I know, I know. Don't worry, I won't do such a thing."

Xiao Ling, who was standing by, saw Zi Yan's expression and shook his head helplessly. It was obvious that this girl had just been thinking this.

After patting Rayquaza's back, Rayquaza's body, which was in tune with Xiao Ling's mind, gradually began to shrink, and then it wrapped around Xiao Ling's wrist and got into his sleeve.

After stuffing a fourth-grade pill into his sleeve, Liekongzuo swallowed it in one gulp. He licked Xiao Ling's fingers, then retracted his head and fell asleep.

Patting the little guy on the head, Xiao Ling said with a smile: "You must have been exhausted from traveling at full speed all day. Have a good rest."

After the two men fell from Rayquaza, they spread their fighting spirit wings and flew towards the city gate.

When they were still a few hundred meters away from the city, Xiao Ling and Zi Yan's flying speed gradually slowed down. Their bodies trembled slightly, and the fighting wings behind them turned into energy points and slowly dissipated in the air.

Perhaps due to its proximity to the desert, the weather here is quite dry and hot. The scorching sun shines down from the sky, baking the ground beneath our feet so that it constantly emits suffocating heat. The heat slowly rises up, and it actually makes people's vision appear somewhat distorted and blurred.

After checking the situation in his body, he found that the activity of the fire attribute had a certain effect. The soul perception in the center of his eyebrows radiated, and he noticed that the air here was filled with a large amount of fire and earth attribute energy. If he practiced these two attributes here, the efficiency would be improved, but compared with the Tianfen Qi Training Tower in the inner courtyard, it was not worth mentioning.

As we gradually approached the city, there were more and more passers-by around us. Most of the men were shirtless, with dark and slender skin. At first glance, they seemed to be quite generous. The occasional woman passing by had a slightly dark skin, but it was a sexy bronze color. The women here were not as reserved and shy as the women in the empire. A tight leather jacket just covered the chest and a little bit of the area below, while the slender waist was boldly exposed. The long and tight thighs were also covered by some short skirts or shorts. While walking, her waist twisted like a water snake, which had a charming charm and style.

However, Xiao Ling only glanced at these scenes that could be considered stunning beauty to others and then looked away. Now, Xiao Ling's standards had been raised by Han Yue and Xiao Xun'er. These mediocre girls were not even as good as the seniors and juniors of Canaan College. Naturally, Xiao Ling had no interest in them.

Not far from the city gate, Xiao Ling took out the alchemist robe and put on the third-grade alchemist badge he had obtained before. He had originally planned to use the identity of a second-grade alchemist to avoid some trouble. A third-grade alchemist was still a bit conspicuous. After all, Xiao Ling didn't like being stared at by everyone, and he didn't feel a sense of accomplishment in pretending to be cool in front of these fighters and masters. It was a pity that he reached the third grade not long after he started learning, and there were no lower-level badges. This was also a kind of helplessness of a genius.

At the gate of the city, a dozen soldiers in armor, holding long guns, were shouting at passers-by entering the city to pay the city entry tax.

Perhaps because of the hot weather, these soldiers guarding here were also a little irritable by the irritable weather, shouting and cursing unceremoniously, constantly urging the passers-by at the city gate.

Because their temperament and attire were quite different, they were quickly noticed by passers-by and soldiers at the door.

Noticing Xiao Ling's alchemist robe and the third-grade alchemist badge on his chest, the people around him cast envious, admiring, and yearning glances at the two of them.

The pedestrians stopped and made way to both sides.

Xiao Ling didn't say much, and walked straight to the city gate with Zi Yan. When the soldiers guarding the city gate saw the two of them coming, one of them hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. His unfriendly expression just now turned into a flattering one, and he said, "Mr. Alchemist, if you need to enter the city, please come in. You are of noble status, so you don't need to queue."

He nodded slightly, walked towards an empty passage nearby, casually took out a first-grade pill from his ring, threw it to the soldier, and then asked, "Where is the largest map shop in Mo City?"

The soldier was quick to catch the pill. The smell of medicine emanating from it made him intoxicated. He quickly bowed to Xiao Ling and replied respectfully, "There is a map shop called "Gutu" in Mo City. I have a map here with the approximate location written on it. Mr. Alchemist, you may want to take a look at it." He then took out a map from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Ling.

When the surrounding soldiers saw that this man had gained benefits, they all looked at him with envy and jealousy, regretting that they had not gone up to please the alchemist and missed the opportunity.

Without paying any more attention to this person, Xiao Ling took the map, took Zi Yan into the passage, and then slowly disappeared into the darkness of the city wall passage.

Holding the pill tightly in his hand and glancing at the envious eyes around him, the soldier couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, I am smart enough, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get this benefit."

……

Following the map given by the soldier, Xiao Ling and Zi Yan soon arrived at a shop.

Xiao Ling looked around from outside. This shop was not as luxurious and ostentatious as other shops. Instead, it had an ancient atmosphere. It was obvious at a glance that the owner was no ordinary person.

Without thinking about anything else, Xiao Ling walked slowly into the shop with Zi Yan. The interior of the shop was not too spacious. The faint light from the two moonstones made the shop quite bright. He swept his eyes inside the shop. There were not many people inside buying maps. It looked deserted. If Xiao Ling had not read the original book, he would probably wonder if he had come to the wrong place.

After entering the store, Xiao Ling noticed the old man behind the counter. He was wearing a blue robe, with white hair casually draped behind him. There was an icy aura around him, and he was obviously a strong man who practiced ice-attributed fighting spirit.

The old man was obviously quite old, but despite his advanced age, his dry hand holding the black drawing pen was still steady and strong.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Hai Bodong, the angel investor of Douqi Continent, finally found you."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 53 The remaining picture of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire

He turned his gaze away from Hai Bodong and did not make a sound to interrupt his drawing work. Xiao Ling led Zi Yan towards the shelf where maps were placed in the store.

After searching around casually, he first selected a map of the surrounding towns, and then pulled out a map of the Tagor Desert. After carefully examining it, Xiao Ling couldn't help but sigh, "It's worthy of being a map drawn by a former Douhuang master. It's not at the same level as other maps. Even some areas of the Tagor Desert are marked. I wonder if this old guy deliberately got lost in the desert before."

After picking up the two maps, Xiao Ling released his soul perception and began to explore the remaining maps of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire hidden in the shop.

Relying on the soul perception ability that has reached the spiritual realm, Xiao Ling quickly discovered a hot energy in the corner of the store. It should be the half of the incomplete map that appeared in the store in the original book. He didn't know where the other half of the incomplete map was hidden by Hai Bodong, and he didn't even find it. This former Douhuang powerful man still has some means.

Walking towards the quaint wooden shelf in the corner of the store, Xiao Ling glanced at it. The wooden shelf was obviously very old, with many holes of rotten wood on it. On top of it, some yellowed maps were randomly piled up. Looking at the broken marks on the surface of these maps, it seemed that they were failed products when making the maps.

He casually flipped through these yellowed maps, and a faint musty smell came to his face. He frowned slightly and threw some failed maps aside. A tattered picture only the size of a palm appeared in front of Xiao Ling.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling was delighted. The incomplete map of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, which ranked third on the Strange Fire List and was a necessary item for taming the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, was actually found in this remote Jia Ma Empire. He grabbed it in his hand and put it into his ring without hesitation. Xiao Ling said, "Old sir, this incomplete map should only be half. I will buy the other half. Name your price."

This sound reached Hai Bodong behind the counter, and he paused slightly in his map-drawing movements. The route he was carefully drawing also showed a slight deviation, and it was obvious that he could not continue drawing. But Hai Bodong didn't care about it at all, and said in a cold tone: "Have you seen such a fragment of a map before?"

Zi Yan, who was standing by, was immediately displeased when she heard the old man's arrogant attitude. She waved her fist and said angrily, "You stinky old man, can't you hear me when I ask you a question?"

Hearing this, Hai Bodong's face turned ugly in an instant. I, Hai Bodong, one of the top ten strongest men in the Gama Empire, the famous Ice Emperor, was actually scolded by a little girl. If others find out about this, will I, Hai Bodong, still have any face?

He released a burst of icy fighting spirit from his body, causing the temperature in the map shop to drop by more than ten degrees in an instant. He looked at Xiao Ling and Zi Yan with a dim gaze, and said in a bad tone: "Little girl, didn't your elders tell you that if you mess with someone you shouldn't mess with outside, you will lose your life?"

Those who came in to choose maps, seeing this tense scene, did not dare to stay here any longer and left the store one after another.
