Chapter 220 Going to the Royal Treasury, an Unexpected Discovery

Xiao Ling suggested to Zi Yan softly: "I will go to the Gama Palace later. Do you want to go in with me? You have been to the Gama Empire several times, but you have not visited the Gama Empire's palace yet. Passed."

Hearing Xiao Ling's suggestion, Zi Yan stopped talking to Medusa and turned to look at him, with a curious light in her eyes. She touched her chin and asked with a hint of playfulness: "What's in the palace?" Is it delicious?”

Xiao Ling rubbed Zi Yan's head and replied with a smile: "When I go to the palace this time, I was entrusted by the Gama royal family to help them treat their national guardian beast. Before that, I will go to the treasure house to pick some things. . If you like something, just take it.”

When Zi Yan heard that she could go to the treasure house to choose treasures, her eyes immediately shone with excitement. Even though Xiao Ling was beside her, a man who was not short of money, she was still full of expectations for the novel experience of personal selection.

She nodded eagerly and said excitedly: "I want to go, you must take me there!"

Medusa on the side saw that the two were about to leave and had no intention of staying. She turned to Zi Yan and said with a smile: "Zi Yan, the Snake Tribe still has many matters waiting for me to deal with. I have to go back now, so I won't stay any longer."

Zi Yan showed a bright smile to Medusa and said, "Sister Medusa, I will go find you after Xiao Ling and I come back from the palace."

Medusa smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Okay, don't forget it."

Then, Medusa turned to Xiao Ling and said politely: "Master Xiao Ling, I'll take my leave now."

Xiao Ling also nodded: "Looking forward to seeing you next time."

Medusa didn't say any more. She flashed and quickly disappeared in mid-air. After a few flashes, she disappeared from the sight of Xiao Ling and Zi Yan.

Zi Yan looked at the direction Medusa was leaving with a trace of envy in her eyes: "Douzong is so powerful that he doesn't even need Douqi wings to fly. I don't know when I will be able to return to the realm of Douzong. At that time I should be able to regain my true form."

Xiao Ling patted Zi Yan's shoulder gently and said encouragingly: "Zi Yan, you don't have to worry. Are you now equivalent to the strength of Dou Huang Six Star? With your talent, take more medicinal materials, the time is right After that, you will naturally break through to the Douzong realm. However, your situation is quite special, and you may not be able to recover your body immediately after reaching the Douzong realm."

Xiao Ling didn't know much about Zi Yan's situation. Usually, once a Warcraft reaches the seventh level or takes the Transformation Pill, it can take on a human form and freely transform between the Warcraft body and human form. After most Warcraft obtain human form, they prefer to practice or fight in human form because it is more convenient.

Zi Yan's situation is a bit special. In the original work, even if she breaks through to Douzong, she still maintains the appearance of a little girl and can only briefly return to her adult body. It wasn't until she took the Dragon King Origin Fruit that her bloodline evolved and became the Supreme Dragon and Phoenix that she was able to maintain her adult form permanently.

Xiao Ling didn't remember very clearly whether Zi Yan had ever recovered her original form in the original work. However, after Zi Yan refined the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, her cultivation level has exceeded that of Dou Sheng, and she should be able to restore her true form freely. But whether this was possible during the Douzong period, Xiao Ling didn't have a definite answer.

Zi Yan curled her lips. Although she knew her situation was special, she still had a glimmer of hope: "I don't know, but I have to give it a try. Maybe it will work."

Seeing that Zi Yan was a little disappointed, Xiao Ling smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, Zi Yan, I will always be with you and help you find your family. Moreover, we will always be your family."

Hearing Xiao Ling's words, a bright smile bloomed on Zi Yan's face again. She snuggled next to Xiao Ling and hugged his arm tightly, with a mischievous light in her eyes. She said coquettishly: "Humph, you have to remember, I have decided to rely on you for the rest of my life. How can you Don’t regret it.”

Xiao Ling smiled slightly, his eyes full of doting, and he responded softly: "Don't worry, how could I regret it? As long as you are willing, I will go with you even to the ends of the world. As long as I have a mouthful of food, I will You won’t go hungry.”

"Hmph, that's pretty much it." Zi Yan snorted, raised her pretty fair face, and then said, "Okay, okay, let's leave quickly. I'm really looking forward to the treasures in the royal treasury."

Hearing Zi Yan's urging, Xiao Ling smiled and replied: "Okay, let's set off now."

Afterwards, Xiao Ling took Zi Yan's little hand, got on the carriage used by the Xiao family, and headed towards the Gama Palace.

…

The carriage moved forward slowly in the morning light. The wheels rolled gently and made a slight creaking sound, which seemed to tell the long history of the Gama Empire.

About ten minutes later, the magnificent palace finally came into view. Its magnificence and solemnity were awe-inspiring.

Xiao Ling and Zi Yan got off the carriage and stood in front of the palace, looking up at the towering city walls and the magnificent palace.

The sun shines on the glazed tiles of the palace, reflecting dazzling light, as if every tile is telling the glory and splendor of the royal family.

Zi Yan's eyes wandered over the magnificent buildings of the palace, her eyes filled with admiration.

Different from the academic buildings of Canaan College, the royal palace in front of her deeply attracted Zi Yan's attention with its magnificence and solemnity. She couldn't help but sigh sincerely: "Wow, this palace is really spectacular, much more elegant than the houses in Canaan College!"

Xiao Ling smiled lightly and said to Zi Yan: "The Gama Empire has gone through hundreds of years of sedimentation, so the construction of this palace is naturally magnificent. Although Canaan College is not short of money, it is an institution after all. Its architecture focuses more on academic atmosphere and practicality, rather than pursuing luxury and majesty like the palace."

The two walked up the long stone steps, with neatly arranged guards on both sides. They were wearing armor, holding spears, and guarding the safety of the palace expressionlessly. When these soldiers saw Xiao Ling, they immediately saluted him to show respect.

Xiao Ling just nodded in response and didn't care too much. He was already very familiar with the environment here. After all, it was not the first or second time to come to the Gama Palace.

As long as it was not a particularly confidential place, Xiao Ling would not be stopped. His reputation and status allowed him to enjoy a certain degree of privilege in every force in the Gama Empire.

Zi Yan noticed the attitude of the guards and whispered to Xiao Ling: "It seems that you are quite prestigious in the palace."

Xiao Ling smiled slightly and replied: "In the palace, respect and privilege are often proportional to your contribution to the royal family. I have helped the royal family solve problems many times, and naturally gained their trust. Moreover, with my identity, which force in the Jia Ma Empire would not give me face."

Xiao Ling and Zi Yan walked in the palace for a while, passing through a long corridor with exquisite murals and sculptures on both sides. Each work shows exquisite craftsmanship and profound cultural heritage. They walked for a while, and the red carpet under their feet extended to the deep inner palace. Every step seemed to be stepping on the echo of history.

At this moment, a graceful figure appeared in their sight. It was a woman with noble temperament and elegant steps. It was the eldest princess of the royal family, Yao Ye.

Yao Ye appeared here because she received the news that Xiao Ling arrived at the palace and came to entertain him specially.

With a smile on his face, Yao Ye first made an elegant gesture to Xiao Ling: "Master Xiao Ling, welcome to the Gama Palace again."

Xiao Ling also nodded in return, with a calm attitude: "Your Highness, Princess, I will trouble you to lead the way next." Xiao Ling really didn't know the location of the royal treasury. After all, he was paid directly before and went to the treasury to choose by himself. This was the first time.

"Master Xiao Ling, what are you talking about? This is Ye'er's honor." Yao Ye then made a gesture of invitation and continued, "Master Xiao Ling, please follow me. I will take you to the royal treasury."

Xiao Ling and Zi Yan followed Yao Ye and walked lightly through the palace gates. The guards around saw Yao Ye and Xiao Ling and saluted, but their eyes also revealed vigilance and seriousness.

The defense of the palace was indeed strict. There were guards guarding every corner and entrance to ensure the safety of the royal family.

Soon, they came to a magnificent building, which was the location of the royal treasury.

The door of the treasure house was closed, and the surface was engraved with complex patterns, which looked solemn and mysterious.

Zi Yan's eyes flashed with anticipation. She gently tugged at Xiao Ling's sleeve, and her tone was full of uncontrollable excitement: "Xiao Ling, I can feel that there are a lot of medicinal herbs in it!" Her Taixu Ancient Dragon bloodline gave her extraordinary treasure-hunting ability. Even the heavy stone door could not stop her from sensitively perceiving the smell of medicinal herbs.

After hearing this, Xiao Ling just nodded slightly. It seemed that Zi Yan's special ability played a role. He knew in his heart that the Jia Ma Empire had experienced hundreds of years of prosperity, and the treasures accumulated by the royal family must be extraordinary, and there were naturally many rare medicinal herbs.

Yao Ye walked to the door of the treasure house slowly and lightly touched a mechanism hidden in the pattern. With a "click", the door slowly opened.

As the door opened, a strong aroma of medicinal herbs and the luster of treasures immediately came to the face.

The treasure house was brightly lit, reflecting countless gold, silver, jewelry and rare antiques. Gold coins piled up like mountains, reflecting an alluring luster; gems shone with colorful light, like stars falling into the mortal world; there were also various rare refining materials and ancient books, each of which was a priceless treasure in the Jiama Empire.

Zi Yan was deeply attracted by the scene in front of her. Her eyes wandered around the treasure house, as if she wanted to see every treasure clearly.

Although Xiao Ling didn't care about these treasures, he couldn't help but admire the wealth and taste of the royal family.

Seeing that the two were interested in the treasures in the treasure house, Yao Ye smiled and introduced: "These are treasures accumulated by our Jiama Empire over the generations, and each one has its unique story and value. Master Xiao Ling, you can choose at will."

Before Xiao Ling could speak, Zi Yan said to Yao Ye eagerly: "Hey, you, take us to the medicinal materials collection area quickly." Her voice was full of eager anticipation for those royal treasured medicinal materials.

Yao Ye felt Zi Yan's urgency and turned his eyes to Xiao Ling, seeking his confirmation. Xiao Ling responded with a simple nod, obviously agreeing with Zi Yan's proposal.

Although the gems and various jewelry displayed here are extremely gorgeous, they only have decorative and collection value, and are not particularly attractive to Xiao Ling.

As for the piles of gold coins, Xiao Ling has no interest at all. The last thing Xiao Ling lacks is money.

After getting Xiao Ling's signal, Yao Ye immediately led them through the front hall of the treasure house and walked towards the medicinal materials collection area. Her steps were light and confident, and she obviously knew every corner of the treasure house.

As they walked, the aroma of the medicinal materials became stronger and stronger, and Zi Yan's eyes shone brighter. She couldn't wait to start selecting those precious medicinal materials as soon as possible.

Xiao Ling followed closely, his eyes scanning the treasures passing by, including elixir recipes, armors, weapons...all kinds of items.

At this moment, Xiao Ling's eyes were suddenly attracted by an item in the corner of the treasure house, and his eyes involuntarily fell on a coffin there.

As Xiao Ling's gaze shifted, Yaoye noticed his interest, and with a gentle smile, she spoke to Xiao Ling,

"Master Xiao Ling, the coffin you see comes from an adventure more than three hundred years ago. At that time, a loyal subordinate of the Jiama royal family accidentally discovered an ancient Douzong ruins while traveling in the empire. That person After some exploration, our seniors not only obtained many rare resources, but also brought back the remains of a powerful Douzong man. Due to its special nature, we have been unable to find a suitable use for this skeleton, so we placed it here. , has spread to this day.”

Xiao Ling's eyes flashed with excitement, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised an interested smile. To other people, Douzong's remains may not have much use, but to him, they are of great value.

After all, any remains that have reached the Douzong level can be used to refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet, and the remains in front of you are undoubtedly very suitable.

Xiao Ling turned to Yao Ye, with a hint of expectation in her tone, and asked with a smile: "Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, I am very interested in the remains of the Douzong. I wonder if the royal family can part with it?"

Although he asked, Xiao Ling had already made up his mind. If the royal family did not agree, even if it cost some money, the remains of the Douzong must be kept in his pocket.

When Yao Ye heard Xiao Ling's request, she nodded slightly and responded in a gentle tone: "Since Master Xiao Ling has a need for this thing, we will naturally not be stingy. Please use it as you like."

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Xiao Ling felt much better. He looked at Yao Ye with a much more pleasing look, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Highness, the eldest princess."
