Yao Chen waved his hands, smiled kindly at Qing Lin, and comforted her: "Silly girl, after all, the teacher was also a Dou Zun before, and a mere Soul Palace guardian can't hurt me. After I refine the evil soul I just obtained, and then take the Seven Illusion Soul Purifying Pill that Xiao Ling just refined, my soul power can be greatly restored."

After chatting with a few people for a while, Yao Chen took the Bone Inflammation Ring from Xiao Ling and took away the jade bottle containing the Seven Illusions Soul-Clearing Pills.

He nodded slightly to everyone, then turned and walked towards the training room. Yao Chen's back gradually went away, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight. I believe that after this retreat, Yao Chen's strength should be able to be greatly improved.

……

Two months flew by.

Ever since Yao Chen went into seclusion, Xiao Ling's life has returned to normal.

A fixed period of time is spent every day to practice fighting spirit.

In his spare time, Xiao Ling would accompany Zi Yan, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin to stroll on the bustling streets of Jia Ma Holy City.

He chatted with the three girls in a relaxed manner, stopped to look at interesting things when he saw them, and bought delicious snacks to share with them when he came across them.

Xiao Ling also did not forget Xiao Yan, and from time to time he taught Xiao Yan the knowledge of alchemy, explaining everything in great detail, from the identification of medicinal materials to the control of the fire.

With Xiao Yan's outstanding talent in alchemy and his substantial wealth, under Xiao Ling's guidance, Xiao Yan has now become a second-grade alchemist.

In addition, Xiao Ling would also refine elixirs of grade five or above upon request from others. He would be fully focused and skilled when refining the elixirs. Every time he refined the elixirs, he would hone his skills, and the successfully refined elixirs would also make those who requested the elixirs very happy.

Not only did he gain a lot of benefits and obtain a lot of treasures, but it also allowed the Xiao family to make friends with many forces in the Holy City of Gama.

……

In the spacious and elegant reception room of the Mittel family, Xiao Ling and Hai Bodong were sitting opposite each other.

The maid beside them walked to the table gracefully and gently poured a cup of fragrant tea for each of them.

Xiao Ling picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked across at Hai Bodong, saying slowly, "Looking at Mr. Hai's aura, I think he must have made a breakthrough in his cultivation."

According to Xiao Ling's investigation, Hai Bodong's cultivation has not only recovered, but his realm has also made a breakthrough. He is now a six-star Dou Huang.

After hearing Xiao Ling's words, Hai Bodong's face instantly broke into a brilliant smile, "Haha, after taking the Soul-Restoring Purple Pill refined by Master Xiao Ling, my cultivation successfully recovered to the level of a five-star Dou Huang. Perhaps it was because of my profound accumulation over the years, after practicing for more than two months, my cultivation level broke through to the level of a six-star Dou Huang."

After listening to Hai Bodong's explanation, Xiao Ling nodded slightly, with a look of emotion and thought, and said in a calm tone: "If Senior Hai Bodong had not been beaten into a Dou Ling by Queen Medusa, and had not wasted decades in Mo City, and had maintained his cultivation, even if he did not break through to the Dou Zong level, he would at least be able to reach the peak of the Dou Huang level."

Hearing this, Hai Bodong also sighed, with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes, and said slowly: "That's all in the past, let it go."

The two chatted casually for a while, and Hai Bodong asked Xiao Ling with a puzzled look on his face: "Master Xiao Ling, how come you have time to come to my Mitel family today? Is there anything important? If there is anything I can help with, I, Hai Bodong, will definitely accompany you."

Xiao Ling smiled faintly and turned his gaze towards Hai Bodong. "Hai Lao guessed correctly. I came to the Mitel family today because I really need your help. Soon, I will leave the Jia Ma Empire and go back to Canaan Academy. I will not return to the Jia Ma Empire in the short term."

After a slight pause, Xiao Ling added, "Although the Xiao family has now established a firm foothold in Jiamadi Capital with my help, after I leave, the Xiao family will no longer have a top expert in charge, and it will inevitably be secretly calculated by some forces that covet the Xiao family's industries and resources. Moreover, if there are some unexpected crises, they may fall into trouble due to lack of sufficient strength to deal with them. Therefore, I hope that you, Hai Lao, can take care of them during my absence."

Chapter 133 Leaving the Gama Empire

This morning, Yao Chen, who had gone into retreat, had come out. After refining the evil spirit with the help of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, he devoured it and took the Seven Illusions Soul-Clearing Pill refined by Xiao Ling, which not only restored Yao Chen's soul power, but also cleared the impurities left in his soul from the evil spirit.

Yao Chen has now recovered to his strongest strength without a physical body, and is more than enough to deal with some Dou Zong peak people. If Yao Chen possesses Xiao Ling's body, with Xiao Ling's recovery ability, there is no need to worry about side effects, and he can even display the combat power comparable to that of a low-star Dou Zun.

After hearing what Xiao Ling said, Hai Bodong nodded without hesitation and said, "Master Xiao Ling, don't worry! With me, Hai Bodong, I will definitely protect the Xiao family. You have taken care of my Mitel family for many times, so how can I not do this little thing?"

Xiao Ling also showed a smile on his face. He stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Then Xiao Ling would like to thank Mr. Hai in advance. When I return from Canaan College, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Hai Bodong quickly stood up and waved his hand, saying, "Master Xiao Ling, you are being too polite. Your kindness to my Mitel family cannot be compared to such a small matter."

The two smiled at each other, and sat down to discuss some details. After that, Xiao Ling stood up and said goodbye.

Hai Bodong personally sent Xiao Ling out of the Mittel family. Looking at Xiao Ling's receding back, he secretly made up his mind that he would not let Xiao Ling down.

……

After Xiao Ling left the Mitre family, he returned to the Xiao family and met Xiao Yan first. He told him that he would go to Canaan College the next day.

Then he informed Xiao Zhan and several elders of the results of the discussion with Hai Bodong to reassure them.

Although Xiao Ling left the Jia Ma Empire, the Xiao family would be affected to some extent, but with the help of Hai Bodong and Xiao Ling's remaining influence, the Xiao family should not be in any danger.

After returning to Canaan College this time, Xiao Ling planned to give the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade belonging to the Xiao family to Xiao Xun'er and let her take it back to the ancient clan.

Gu Yang is the second elder of the Ancient Clan, responsible for guarding the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, and possesses the strength of a late-stage five-star Dou Sheng. However, he was plotted against by Void Devouring Flame a hundred years ago, and his soul merged with that of the Soul Clan, thus becoming an undercover agent of the Soul Clan in the Ancient Clan.

Anyway, he holds a piece of the ancient Tushe Emperor Jade of the Spirit Clan in his hand, which has been kept in the system space. Even if the Soul Emperor has the ability to know everything, he can never find the location of this piece of Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade.

Without the ability to collect all eight pieces of Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade, Emperor Hun Tian could not be promoted to Dou Emperor even if he racked his brains.

Through the Soul Clan's undercover agent planted in the Ancient Clan, Emperor Hun Tian learned that the Xiao family's Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was in the hands of the Ancient Clan. Given Emperor Hun Tian's cautious character, he would most likely not risk being noticed by the other six clans and let the Soul Palace take action against the Xiao family.

Although the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade is extremely precious and closely related to the promotion to the Dou Emperor, it is also because this item is too precious. If you don’t have a certain level of strength, even if you own it, it will only be a big trouble.

As long as the Soul Clan really wanted to investigate, they would easily find out that the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade was on Xiao Ling's body.

At that time, there will be endless troubles. In order to obtain the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade, the Soul Palace will definitely send strong men to attack Xiao Ling.

In the original novel, in order to obtain the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade, the Soul Clan used Yao Chen's soul body to plot against Xiao Yan, causing him to fall into an ambush by the Soul Palace. Even Xiao Yan's famous sword Siming was knocked out by the old ghost Zhaixing.

Xiao Ling just wanted to improve his strength in peace and stability, and it was better not to cause trouble if he could avoid it. This Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was of no help to him now, so it would be better to give it to Xiao Xun'er, which would also be considered a good achievement.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

The next morning, the dawn was just breaking. Xiao Ling got up early, quietly opened the door, and went to wake up Zi Yan who was still asleep. Then, he packed his luggage and took Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian with him.

At this time, Xiao Yan also happened to come over.

"Cousin Xiao Ling, I'm not too late, am I?" Xiao Yan scratched his head, unable to conceal the excitement on his face.

Nodding slightly, Xiao Ling looked at Xiao Yan's excited expression and smiled faintly, "It seems that you are very excited. Let's set off now without further delay."

After patting Qinglin's little head, Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Qinglin, call Xiaohei out. We'll have to rely on him to give us a ride from now on."

After being fed by Xiao Ling for more than half a year, Liekongzuo is now accumulating energy and preparing to break through to the seventh-level magic beast. Recently, it has been a little listless. In view of this, it is better not to call it out during such a long journey.

Qing Lin nodded obediently and replied softly, "I understand, Master."

After saying this, Qinglin patted his sleeves, and then a small black snake emerged. Its body began to gradually expand, and after a while, the six-winged black snake king returned to its original size.

The six-winged black snake king first let out a hiss, then lowered its head and rubbed the cheek of its little master Qinglin.

Feeling the intimacy of the Six-Winged Black Snake King, Qinglin also stretched out his little hand and rubbed the Six-Winged Black Snake King's head.

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.
