Chapter 121 Mysterious Jade Pendant
In the central area of the Holy City of Gama, there is a huge building that is surrounded by a faint fragrance of elixir all year round.
On the towering gate, the five ancient characters "Alchemist Guild" are written in a flamboyant style, shining with a faint silver light, which makes passers-by look at it with awe.
Outside the huge gate of the Alchemist Guild, alchemists who are rarely seen on weekdays are all rushing here, wearing alchemist robes of different colors on their bodies, proudly proclaiming their ranks.
As the headquarters of alchemists in the Gama Empire, even the emperor of the imperial family has to be humble when he comes here.
After all, the energy that the residents in this building can create is enough to shock the entire empire. They are the most honorable profession in the Douqi Continent.
After helping Nalan Jie remove the brand poison, Xiao Ling rushed to the Alchemist Guild without stopping.
This time, Xiao Ling came here to try his luck and see if he could find the fragment that Xiao Yan bought three years later in the original book.
The origin of that fragment is not ordinary. It records the unique skills of Burning Flame Valley, the first change of "Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire".
For Xiao Ling, who has a strange fire, with this "Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire", he can greatly improve his strength in a short period of time. In the battle, it can provide great help.
After Xiao Ling appeared, he immediately caused a small-scale commotion. The alchemists around him who were originally arrogant cast respectful eyes towards Xiao Ling.
As a sixth-grade alchemist, Xiao Ling is naturally an idol in the hearts of countless low-level alchemists. Because Xiao Ling is not only a sixth-grade alchemist, but also a Douhuang strongman, some people also gave Xiao Ling the nickname "Danhuang".
"Isn't this Master Xiao Ling of the Xiao family?"
"I could only see Master Xiao Ling's portrait before, but today I can actually see him in person. He is so handsome."
"I heard that Master Xiao Ling has not only reached the peak of the sixth-grade alchemist, but also broke through to the Douhuang realm not long ago. This talent is indeed worthy of being the "First Genius of the Jiama Empire." "
Ignoring the discussions of the people around him, Xiao Ling walked into the Alchemist Guild under the awe-inspiring eyes of the guards.
After Xiao Ling entered the Alchemist Guild, a captain of the guards ordered his men: "Go and report this news to President Fama."
...
Stepping into the gate of the Alchemist Guild, a strong scent of elixir hits the face, making people can't help but take a breath and look around with a relaxed and happy mood.
The area inside the Alchemist Guild is extremely vast, roughly divided into three areas: east, west and east. In the hall on the east, there are many square platforms made of qinggang stone neatly built. Behind those platforms, there are some alchemists in long robes sitting, and on the platforms, there are many kinds of medicinal materials, jade bottles, scrolls and other things. It seems that it is an area for trading Taobao.
In the hall on the south, there are many cauldrons burning. Some alchemists are behind the cauldrons, controlling the fire with serious faces. Around them, there are low-level alchemists, pointing and talking to each other, whispering about their experience in alchemy.
Compared with the other two halls, the hall on the west is undoubtedly much quieter. There are even guards standing in the aisle. It seems that only some alchemists who have reached a certain level are qualified to enter. Some low-level alchemists occasionally pass by there and cast their eyes of awe and envy.
Slowly walking into the hall, Xiao Ling looked around, and after determining the direction, he headed towards the trading area.
Walking into the eastern area, Xiao Ling walked slowly between the square platforms, looking at these rare medicinal materials and some other strange items with curiosity.
Although this place is called the trading area, the sellers here are not shouting loudly like the vendors in the market.
They sit leisurely on the soft chairs, occasionally glancing at those standing outside the platform. If they think that the other party may have some foundation, some alchemists will stand up and talk to them.
But more of them are still lazily curled up in the chairs, rarely paying attention to the spectators. This leisurely and lazy appearance is not like a merchant selling things.
Of course, they are not. What they need is not the gold market property coveted by merchants, but barter.
If you want to get the herbs or pills you need from them, you must bring out the rare treasures that they will like.
When Xiao Ling walked into the trading area, he immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Without paying attention to the different looks of the people around him, Xiao Ling shuttled through the trading area and explored the items that were traded with interest.
...
Suddenly, Xiao Ling's attention was attracted by a jade pendant.
His eyes were fixed on the jade pendant, which was engraved with mysterious patterns and emitted a faint light.
He felt a stir in his heart, reached out to pick up the jade pendant, and observed it carefully.
At this moment, a voice sounded in his ears: "Master Xiao Ling's vision is indeed extraordinary. Although I can't see the specific situation of this jade pendant, its origin is definitely not ordinary."
Xiao Ling turned his head and saw an old man looking at him with a smile. On his chest, he wore a badge of a fourth-grade alchemist.
If Xiao Ling remembered correctly, this man's surname was Wang, and he was the alchemist of the Mitel family.
Xiao Ling smiled slightly and said, "This jade pendant is really good. You name a price and I'll take it."
The old man had a faint smile on his face and rubbed his hands vigorously, "Master Xiao Ling is really generous. As long as you take out a prescription for a fourth-grade elixir, you can take this jade pendant away."
Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "How about this, I will exchange this jade pendant with you for an elixir, how about that?"
The old man was surprised when he heard this, "What elixir?"
Xiao Ling took out a porcelain bottle and began to introduce it, "The fourth-grade elixir Shengling Pill, after taking it, you can improve your cultivation by one star in the Douling realm."
According to Xiao Ling's investigation, the old man's cultivation is a four-star Douling, which is just right for this Shengling Pill.
The old man was moved. He knew that elixirs that can improve cultivation are extremely rare.
However, this jade pendant must be of extraordinary value to be favored by a sixth-grade alchemist like Xiao Ling.
But the price cannot be too high, otherwise it will anger Xiao Ling, a big shot, and he will suffer the consequences.
After some bargaining, Xiao Ling finally successfully exchanged a Shengling Pill for the jade pendant.
