Chapter 307 News From the Poison Mist Valley
As soon as the pill fell into Xiao Ling's hands, the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth quickly gathered, and soon formed a small dragon about half a meter long, which stretched its body lightly in the air, as if celebrating its birth.
Xiao Ling gently stroked the bone-melting blood pill in his hand, and a helpless smile appeared on his face. He whispered: "This little guy is really interesting and has commemorative value. However, in order to revive the Skyfire Venerable, it is the key. Besides, it is quite troublesome to refine another one."
Then, Xiao Ling carefully put the pill into an exquisite jade box, his movements were gentle and meticulous, as if he was treating a precious work of art. Finally, he put the jade box into his storage ring.
Then, Xiao Ling looked around and found that the courtyard had been surrounded by a crowd of people. They were all high-level figures from various forces of all sizes in Tianbei City.
After the pill thunder dissipated, these Douhuang Douzong-level figures naturally did not dare to soar in the sky again, so Xiao Ling, an eighth-grade alchemist, looked up at them. They knew in their hearts that it was necessary to be humble in the face of such a distinguished alchemist.
The eyes of Han Chi and the Han family ancestor looking at Xiao Ling had changed from initial curiosity to awe. Xiao Ling's status as an eighth-grade alchemist was far beyond their reach. For such a master of alchemy, everyone knew that they should give him enough respect.
Everyone present was eager to get closer to this living eighth-grade alchemist. Although they also knew in their hearts that this possibility was very small, it was always good to try it, and there might be unexpected gains.
However, Xiao Ling did not want to have any friendship with these people, nor was he interested in it. The reason why he was willing to make such a big noise was that although refining elixirs to help the Skyfire Venerable revive was one reason, more importantly, he wanted to take this opportunity to enhance his reputation and let everyone in Zhongzhou know of his arrival.
He hoped that his reputation would spread quickly, so that it might reach Xun'er's ears and let her know that he had arrived in Zhongzhou. In this way, Xun'er could come to him and they could meet again.
Xiao Ling packed up the medicine cauldron, gave Han Chi a gentle smile, and said in a relaxed tone: "Uncle Han, refining this medicine really took a lot of energy. I feel a little tired now and need to find a place to rest. I won't stay here for long."
Hearing this, Han Chi showed a subtle expression on his face. Although this young man, who was about the same age as his daughter, politely called him uncle, he was an eighth-grade alchemist after all, and his status was respected. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart. Being called by such a master of alchemy did make him feel both honored and a little uncomfortable.
But he quickly adjusted his mentality and was secretly excited in his heart. The Han family can maintain a good relationship with such a young eighth-grade alchemist, which is undoubtedly a great help to the future development of the family.
"Haha, Mr. Xiao Ling, you have worked hard, and you should have a good rest." Han Chi responded with a smile, with a bit of unnatural tone, "If you need anything, just tell me, the Han family will try their best to provide you with convenience."
Xiao Ling nodded gently, then gave Xiao Yixian a meaningful look, and Xiao Yixian responded with a knowing look. Under the gaze of everyone, Xiao Ling walked into a room in the courtyard without hesitation and prepared to rest.
The people around were shocked when they heard Xiao Ling call the head of the Han family "uncle". They thought to themselves, what is Han Chi's identity? And what is Xiao Ling's identity? Is such a title really appropriate?
Especially Hong Tianxiao, when he heard this title, his heart sank. The relationship between the Hong family and the Han family has been tense recently, and there have been constant frictions. If Xiao Ling, an eighth-grade alchemist, is offended because of these minor frictions, it would be more than worth the loss.
Although the Hong family has some friendship with Fenglei Pavilion, Fenglei Pavilion will never offend an eighth-grade alchemist because of such a trivial matter.
Hong Tianxiao frowned. He knew that he had to reconsider the relationship between the Hong family and the Han family, as well as how to deal with this young eighth-grade alchemist.
In this world where strength is respected, sometimes, the influence of an alchemist can even exceed that of a family. He didn't want to bring unnecessary trouble to the Hong family because of his short-sightedness.
Hong Tianxiao immediately wanted to seize this opportunity and approach Xiao Ling to deepen the relationship.
But before he could act, Xiao Yixian's indifferent voice had already sounded in the field, clearly reaching everyone's ears: "You are not welcome here. I suggest you leave as soon as possible, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Yixian's aura suddenly burst out, and the strength of the Seven Star Dou Zong was clearly visible.
When Xiao Yixian's aura burst out, everyone around was shocked. Before, she walked in the air easily, making it difficult for people to see her true strength. Everyone thought she was just a beginner Dou Zong.
But now, when she released her aura, people realized that the strength of this young woman had actually reached the level of a seven-star Dou Zong, which made everyone gasp.
At this age, she can have such a cultivation level, and her talent is really terrifying.
Hong Tianxiao had a forced smile on his face and said to Xiao Yixian: "Miss, I just want to make friends with Master Xiao. Our Hong family has a close relationship with Fenglei Pavilion, and maybe it can be of some help. Can you please introduce me?" There was a hint of reluctance in his tone, and he obviously didn't want to give up.
The little medical fairy frowned slightly and said in a cold tone: "I told you that you are not welcome here. Xiao Ling needs to rest now and will not see anyone."
She still remembered that Xiao Ling once secretly learned Fenglei Pavilion's secret skill "Three Thousand Thunder Movements". If he came into contact with people from Fenglei Pavilion, it might cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, she rejected Hong Tianxiao's request more firmly.
After hearing the little medical fairy's answer, Hong Tianxiao could only shut up. He understood that the young woman in front of him had a close relationship with the eighth-grade alchemist and was not someone he could offend easily.
Hong Tianxiao still knew that although the Hong family could control the wind and rain in Tianbei City, they really were nothing in front of an eighth-level alchemist.
He smiled awkwardly, bowed his hand politely to the little medical fairy, and then turned to the ancestor of the Han family, with a hint of sourness in his tone: "The Han family is really lucky to be able to work with an eighth-grade alchemist. Make a connection.”
After saying that, Hong Tianxiao's figure flashed, turned into a stream of light, and quickly left the scene.
As Hong Tianxiao left, the people around him began to realize that this was not a place to stay for a long time, and they left wisely. After a while, the originally lively courtyard became much deserted.
Han Chi looked at Han Yue and Han Xue, his heart moved, he showed a smile and said: "Yue'er, since you and Mr. Xiao Ling are old acquaintances, we didn't have a chance to have a good chat before. Now is a chance. Your sister is your age. Similarly, it’s good to have more exchanges.”
"There are still some matters in the clan that I need to deal with. You young people can chat slowly." Han Chi had just finished speaking and left in a hurry before Han Yue and Han Xue could answer.
Upon seeing this, the ancestor of the Han family also cupped his fists and saluted the little medical fairy, and then disappeared in a flash.
As a result, only the trio of Han Yue, Han Xue and the Little Medical Fairy were left in the courtyard.
Han Yue was experienced. She couldn't tell what her father was thinking. However, she already had that kind of relationship with Xiao Ling. Why did her father push her sister in? This was really troublesome.
While Han Yue was still thinking about how to deal with it, Han Xue had already hugged her arm excitedly, eyes flashing with excitement, and said: "Sister, Xiao Ling is a strong man in Douzong at such a young age, and he is also an eighth-level alchemist. , you are so lucky to be studying outside, and you can meet such a great person, can you introduce us to him?"
Seeing her sister's face full of admiration and expectation, Han Yue felt really mixed emotions. Now it seems that Han Xue has some special thoughts about Xiao Ling, which makes Han Yue feel both funny and helpless.
Seeing this scene, the little medical fairies Zi Yan and Qing Lin couldn't help but snicker. In their impression, Han Yue has always been a mature and steady person. It is really rare to look a little at a loss like this.
"Okay, okay, senior Han Yue, don't scare yourself." The little medical fairy said to Han Yue with a teasing smile, "Let's go find Xiao Ling now. He is busy these days. I didn’t even have a good chat with you about alchemy.”
Han Yue's cheeks turned slightly red, and she nodded slightly. Indeed, because of Xiao Ling's refining of the elixir, the two of them did not have a good exchange of feelings, and she also missed it in her heart.
So, several people walked towards the room where Xiao Ling was.
…
inside the room,
After everyone arrived and chatted casually for a while, Xiao Ling turned to Han Yue and started asking about serious matters.
"Han Yue, do you, the Han family, have any news about the Poison Mist Valley? That is our next target." There was a hint of seriousness in Xiao Ling's tone.
After hearing this, Han Yue nodded slightly and replied: "While you were refining the medicine, the little medical fairy had already asked me about the Poison Mist Valley. Originally, I didn't know much about this information. Even my father knew it. Very little. However, I asked the ancestor for advice later, and he did provide some information. "
"The Poison Mist Valley is hidden in the core area of the Nether Mountains in the Northern Territory of Zhongzhou." Han Yue said, her voice steady and organized, "The Nether Mountains are not famous in the Northern Territory. To most people, it is just a desolate and desolate place. A dangerous place. Except for those practitioners who specialize in poison skills, few people are willing to take risks there, so not many people know about Poison Mist Valley. Even the ancestor of our Han family was a practitioner of poison attribute fighting spirit. I heard about it from my Douzong friends.”
After a slight pause, she continued: "There is a small city near the Netherworld Mountains called Youyun City. Although it is not large and is not conspicuous among the many cities in the northern region of Zhongzhou, the Netherworld Sect there is good at using poison. Most of the disciples in the sect are famous for their ability to control poisons. If you plan to explore the Netherworld Mountains, you can go to Youyun City first. It is not far from Tianbei City to Youyun City. It shouldn’t take long to arrive.”
During the conversation, Han Yue took out a map from her sleeve and handed it to Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling took the map and looked at it carefully. He found that this map recorded most of the northern region of Zhongzhou in detail, even more detailed than the one he bought at the map shop in Star City. The location of Youyun City is clearly marked on the map, as well as some other useful information.
Xiao Ling also visited some auction houses and antique shops to inquire about this information. However, he didn't get any useful clues. Sure enough, the established forces in Zhongzhou know better about this kind of special information.
After getting the information he wanted, Xiao Ling showed a happy smile on his face and said to Han Yue: "Thanks to you this time, Han Yue."
Now, he has obtained the exact location of the Poison Mist Valley. As long as they are fully prepared and help the Skyfire Venerable to recover his strength, they can embark on the journey to find the Netherworld Poison Fire and the Netherworld Poison Dragon Scorpion, which is at least the seventh-level strength.
By then, both the Netherworld Poison Fire and the Netherworld Poison Dragon Scorpion Demon Core that helps Xiao Yixian condense the poison pill can be obtained.
Facing Xiao Ling's gratitude, Han Yue smiled lightly and did not say much. It was enough for her to help Xiao Ling.
But when she thought that Xiao Ling's trip was to find an opportunity for Xiao Yixian, she felt a little complicated and always felt a little weird.
She had heard from Zi Yan before that Xiao Ling and Xiao Yixian had fallen in love. Although she had a hunch, she still felt a little mixed when she really heard the news.
However, Han Yue and Xiao Yixian have always had a good relationship, and the two of them had communicated in this regard before, so there was no unpleasantness. Even if Xiao Ling did not ask the question, Han Yue would go all out to help Xiao Yixian collect information in this regard.
"Alas, as long as he has a place in my heart, I will be satisfied." Han Yue thought silently in her heart. She still maintained that calm smile on her face, but her eyes revealed a trace of imperceptible tenderness and expectation.
...
Qifeng Mountain is well-known in the entire North Region of Zhongzhou, not because there is a phoenix in the mountain, but because this mountain is where the Fenglei North Pavilion stands.
Fenglei Pavilion is divided into four pavilions, east, west, south and north. Among them, the East Pavilion is the main one, and the west, south and north are the auxiliary ones. The East Pavilion is the most powerful, and the other three pavilions are slightly inferior. But even so, any of the three pavilions is qualified to squeeze into the first-class forces in Zhongzhou, and the four pavilions combined can even rival some top forces, and can be called a giant in the North Region of Zhongzhou.
Qifeng Mountain is quite steep, with steep mountains and the peaks shrouded in a thick mist, which feels like a fairyland.
The top of Qifeng Mountain looked like it was split by a giant axe. On top of it, many buildings were hidden in the lush greenery, looming in and out of sight. The most eye-catching thing on the entire mountaintop was a huge silver tower on the highest peak.
This tower that soared into the sky was called Beilei Tower. It was covered with dazzling silver. From time to time, some thunderous sounds could be heard from it. This was the holy place for cultivation of Fenglei Beige. Only those with outstanding performance were qualified to enter and cultivate there.
The highest floor of Beilei Tower was a rather empty hall. At this moment, there were several people sitting in the hall. A majestic aura filled the air, making the guards at the door of the hall a little frightened.
"A strange eighth-grade alchemist appeared in Tianbei City. Is this news true?"
In the center of the hall, there is a silver throne. A faint lightning spreads along the chair. On it, a figure in a silver robe leans lightly on the back of the chair. A pair of silver-gray eyes slowly sweeps below, and a faint voice echoes in the hall.
The man below bowed and said respectfully, "The news came from the Hong family in Tianbei City. They spent a lot of money and used secret methods to transmit the news, so that some news was passed to Fenglei North Pavilion today. According to what they said, the eighth-grade alchemist finished refining the pill in the morning. The four-color pill thunder in Tianbei City was witnessed by many people in Tianbei City. The news should be true."
Hearing this, the elders of Fenglei North Pavilion around were all shocked. The existence of the eighth-grade alchemist is like a dragon that can't be seen from head to tail. He actually appeared in the Northern Region of Zhongzhou.
After listening to the man's report, the silver-robed man nodded and tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers. Then he said, "An eighth-grade alchemist, even our Fenglei Pavilion should be on good terms with him. I will go there in person this time, Tianbei City, to try to win him over. Even if I can't win him over, I will find out about the news of that alchemist."
"Four elders, during the time I'm away, Fenglei North Pavilion's major and minor matters will be left to you to handle."
"Yes!"
...
The night curtain, like a huge piece of black silk, silently covered the entire Tianbei City. The hustle and bustle of the day was replaced by the tranquility and serenity of the night.
In a courtyard deep in the Han family manor, candlelight jumped in the room, stretching two figures long. Han Yue and Xiao Ling, the lovers who met after a long separation, finally had time alone under the cover of the night.
"Yue'er, have you missed me in two years?" Xiao Ling's voice sounded in the quiet room, with a hint of teasing and affection.
Han Yue bit her lips lightly, and a hint of coquettishness flashed in her eyes: "I miss you, but I don't know if you miss me. Even Xiao Yixian was taken down by you."
Xiao Ling just smiled and didn't take up the topic. He walked forward and hugged Han Yue into his arms: "Senior sister, we haven't seen each other for two years. It's time for us to express our lovesickness."
As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Ling's lips were imprinted on Han Yue's lips, and the two bodies slowly fell on the bed. As the clothes fell off one by one, the two figures swayed in the candlelight, interweaving a moving picture.
From time to time, a few delicate panting sounds came from the room, and the spring scenery in the room was a unique secret of this night, and no third person could see it.
