Chapter 319 Goodbye Liu Qing
Subsequently, Hei Qing opened a space channel in the space wormhole, and the powerful power of space condensed in his hands, forming a portal to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.
Zi Yan took one last look at Xiao Ling and the Little Medical Fairy, took a deep breath, and then followed Hei Qing on the journey back to the Ancient Dragon Clan.
Xiao Ling and others stood on the space ship, watching Zi Yan and Hei Qing disappear into the space passage, their hearts filled with reluctance and blessings.
"It seems that you are a little reluctant to leave Zi Yan?" The little medical fairy looked at Xiao Ling sideways, with concern in her tone.
Xiao Ling smiled slightly and shrugged helplessly: "Well, it's true. But after all, there is no such thing as a banquet that never ends, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qing Lin's voice suddenly interrupted: "Master, I just noticed that Sister Zi Yan left with the colorful sky-swallowing python."
Hearing this, Xiao Ling was stunned for a moment, and then realized that because of Hei Qing's sudden appearance, he had forgotten to take back the little sky-swallowing python. It was still in Zi Yan's hand. Now that Zi Yan and the others have left, they can't catch up even if they want to.
"Haha, since the little sky-swallowing python followed Zi Yan, let her go," Xiao Ling smiled awkwardly and said, "Anyway, there are many good things in the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. After Medusa wakes up, You won’t be wronged there.”
However, Xiao Ling originally planned to prepare a soul-restoring pill for Medusa, but then he thought about it, and there should be nothing wrong with Medusa's soul fusion this time. After all, there are so many experts in the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, so it shouldn’t be a problem to just find someone to help.
…
This is a vast gravel square. In the center, a majestic stone platform rises from the ground. At the top, a huge dark wormhole slowly rotates, like a deep eye, constantly overflowing with heart-stopping energy. Space fluctuations.
"Puff! Puff!" With a series of deep sounds, the tranquility of the square was broken. The space fluctuations at the wormhole became more and more violent, as if something was about to break out of the cocoon.
Immediately afterwards, figures emerged from the wormholes like lightning. Their figures drew graceful arcs in mid-air, and then landed steadily on the square.
"Finally arrived at the Central Territory. It's been quite a journey!" As soon as Xiao Ling landed, he couldn't wait to take a deep breath of the fresh air from the outside world, with a relaxed smile on his face.
A month has passed since Zi Yan returned to Donglong Island with Hei Qing. During this month, Xiao Ling, Qing Lin and the Little Medical Fairy walked and stopped, enjoyed the scenery along the way, and experienced many interesting things. Now, they finally arrived in the Central Territory.
Next to the little medical fairy, she nodded in agreement and glanced around the square. Now there are many people who have come out of the space wormhole gathered in the square, and the originally quiet square suddenly becomes lively.
"Master, are we reaching the Alchemy Realm now?" Qing Lin breathed a sigh of relief, then held Xiao Ling's hand and asked curiously.
"Not yet." Xiao Ling shook his head slightly and explained: "This is just the core area of Zhongzhou, also known as the Central Territory to the outside world. The Dan Territory is located in the center of the Central Territory, and we have to walk for a few more days to get there."
"The Central Region...the Alchemy Region, this Central Region is really vast, and it is incomparable to the Northwest Continent." The little fairy doctor pointed her chin and said.
"This is natural. If Zhongzhou is the heart of Dou Qi Continent, then Zhongyu is the center of Zhongzhou. Many top forces gather here, and most of their headquarters are located here. The place where we are standing now is the southwest of Zhongyu. The most famous forces here are Sound Valley and Fenyan Valley, they are considered the overlords of this area," Xiao Ling said with a slight smile.
"Speaking of Sound Valley, Sister Ning seems to be from there," Qinglin nodded and said casually, "However, no matter how powerful Sound Valley and Fenyan Valley are, they can't control so many places, right? ”
"Of course, in addition to the two big forces of Sound Valley and Fenyan Valley, there are also some small forces in the southwest region, but compared with them, those small forces are a bit inadequate." Xiao Ling said easily, with a smile on his lips. With a smile on his face,
"Oh, by the way, I have an old classmate. His family is in the southwest region. The Tianhuang City where their family is located happens to be the only place we must pass on our way to the Dan Territory, and in that city, there is another There is a space wormhole that can lead to the direction of Dan Realm.”
"It must be the muscular senior. His portrait is still hanging in the Supreme Freedom Gate of Canaan College." Qinglin thought for a moment and said softly.
"Yes, I remembered, his name was Liu Qing," the little medical fairy also recalled, adding, "If I remember correctly, he was the one who founded the Supreme Freedom Sect with Senior Han Yue and Xiao Ling. Here’s the old man. His sister Liu Fei, I used to see her often in the inner courtyard.”
"Haha, it's that muscular man. I haven't seen him in several years." Xiao Ling took over with a smile, "I heard the news about him from his sister before. As soon as that guy broke through the Dou Wang, he couldn't sit still. He didn't even care about his sister and left the inner courtyard directly. "
While they were chatting, Xiao Ling took Qing Lin and Little Medical Fairy around the city and bought some gadgets. Then they walked into a map store and selected a detailed map of the Central Region of Zhongzhou.
Xiao Ling looked at the dense markings on the map and said confidently, "At our speed, we can reach the Liu Qing family in about half a day."
Qing Lin and the Little Medical Fairy both nodded and agreed with Xiao Ling's arrangement.
Xiao Ling said no more, stepped lightly on the ground, and his figure shot straight into the sky like an arrow.
Such a movement naturally attracted the attention of many people around.
"Wow, this is a Dou Zong master who can walk in the air!"
"He is so young, how come I have never heard of such a person."
While everyone was amazed, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin were not to be outdone. They lightly tapped the air with their feet, and their figures were like eagles flying in the sky. They quickly followed Xiao Ling. The three of them turned into a stream of light and disappeared in the astonished eyes of everyone in the square in an instant.
"Dou Zong? That girl is also a Dou Zong master?"
"Today is really an eye-opener."
After the figures of Xiao Ling and the other two disappeared in the sky, the people in the square gradually came back to their senses and exclaimed in disbelief.
Dou Zong is also a top existence in Zhongzhou. It is a realm that many people dream of, but only a few people can really reach it. Therefore, seeing young Dou Zong masters like Xiao Ling, everyone was naturally shocked and envious...
However, they only saw Xiao Ling and the other three. If they knew that there was a Dou Zun-level Tianhuo Zun following them secretly, they would probably be shocked.
...
Tianhuang City, a prosperous city comparable to Tianbei City, has a space wormhole that leads directly to the Danyu, making it more popular than Tianbei City and becoming a lively place.
In this city, many forces are intertwined, but the most prominent ones are the two major families of Liu and Cheng. They are the strongest forces in Tianhuang City, but even these two major families do not have the ability to build a long-distance transmission point like a space wormhole. The real owner of this space wormhole is actually Fenyan Valley.
Fenyan Valley, as the overlord within a thousand miles, controls many cities including Tianhuang City. In this area, the only one who can compete with Fenyan Valley is Yin Valley, which acts mysteriously and has a small sphere of influence but cannot be underestimated. A force that can be compared with Fenyan Valley is obviously not easy to mess with.
Fenyan Valley's influence spreads across many cities, and Tianhuang City is no exception. The Liu family and the Cheng family can actually be regarded as vassal forces of Fenyan Valley. The management rights of the space wormhole are determined by Fenyan Valley. Whoever is chosen to manage this wormhole can occupy a dominant position in Tianhuang City.
Over the years, the management rights of the space wormhole have been rotated between the Liu family and the Cheng family, and neither party has been able to control it for a long time. This situation seems to be intentional by Fenyan Valley as a means to balance the forces of all parties and maintain control.
…
At the speed of Xiao Ling and the other two, it didn't take too much time to reach Tianhuang City. In less than half a day, they saw the outline of Tianhuang City from afar.
As they approached the city, the majestic city wall came into view, with a hint of solemnity. Under the city gate, people came and went, bustling, and noisy voices rose and fell, forming waves of sound that rushed straight into the sky.
Several people walked into the city safely. Looking around, they saw that the wide streets were lined with shops, and there was no end in sight. On the streets, the crowds of people surged, and the noisy voices gathered into waves of sound, spreading out, deafening.
"The popularity of Tianhuang City is really strong. I'm afraid it can compete with the most lively cities in the Black Horn Region." Xiao Yixian looked at the prosperous city and the bustling crowd and couldn't help but admire.
"This is the Central Region of Zhongzhou, the heartland of the entire continent. Although the Black Horn Region is also very strong, how can it be compared with this place?" Xiao Ling responded with a smile, then took out the map, confirmed the route, and then led Xiao Yixian and Qinglin to the direction of the Liu Family Manor.
After passing through several long streets and turning a few corners, a manor covering a very large area came into the eyes of the three people.
This manor covers a large area. Outside the manor, several guards with weapons were patrolling around vigilantly. Their eyes were cold and they scanned the surrounding situation from time to time.
Seeing Xiao Ling and the other two approaching, the guards immediately cast a vigilant look.
Xiao Ling walked forward, smiling, and took the initiative to say: "I am a classmate of Senior Liu Qing. I came to Tianhuang City this time and visited him by the way."
When the guards heard that the young man was the classmate of their master, they couldn't help but look at him a few more times. Seeing that the three of them were quite young, they thought that this was probably true.
So, the guards let down their guard, and one of them said: "Since he is the classmate of the master, then I will take you to see him."
After that, the guard explained a few words to his companions next to him, and led Xiao Ling and the other two to the interior of the Liu family mansion.
Under the guidance of the guard, Xiao Ling and the other two walked along the road in the Liu family manor and went to Liu Qing's residence.
Along the way, the guard asked curious questions and tried to get some information from Xiao Ling and the others. However, Xiao Ling and the others just answered lightly and kept their details secret.
After a roundabout conversation, the guard finally learned that the young man's name was Xiao Ling, and he was from the inner courtyard of Canaan College. As for other detailed information, including the identities and names of Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin, he knew nothing.
Finally, they came to a magnificent attic, which was Liu Qing's residence in the Liu family mansion.
The guard stopped in front of the attic and said to Xiao Ling and the other two, "Please wait a moment, I will go and inform them."
Xiao Ling smiled and nodded, and the guard walked quickly into the attic. After a while, the door of the attic opened, and Liu Qing appeared at the door.
Liu Qing was a tall man with well-defined muscles. His eyes swept over Xiao Ling and the other three, and finally settled on Xiao Ling. Then he showed a surprised smile: "Xiao Ling? It's really you! I didn't expect that you, the kid, would still be there." Remember me! I knew you would come to Zhongzhou sooner or later."
Xiao Ling strode forward, patted Liu Qing's shoulder hard, and said with a smile: "Liu Qing, long time no see, your style is still the same. Looking at your current posture, you are already the head of the family."
In Xiao Ling's perception, Liu Qing's cultivation level has reached the realm of Dou Huang Sanxing, which is much higher than his cultivation level at the same time in the original work.
With the help of Xiao Ling, the master of alchemy, Liu Qing and several other classmates in the inner courtyard of Canaan College have achieved far more achievements than they did in the original work.
"Haha, we are able to achieve what we have today thanks to your support in the inner courtyard. Otherwise, how could I have achieved such a level of cultivation at such a young age." Liu Qing smiled heartily and enthusiastically greeted Xiao Lingsan. People welcomed him into the attic, "Come on, come on in, let's talk about old times."
In the attic, the decoration was luxurious yet warm. Liu Qing warmly greeted Xiao Ling and the others to sit down, and then ordered the servants to prepare tea and snacks.
"Xiao Ling, what are your plans for coming to Tianhuang City this time? Maybe you came here specifically to see me." Liu Qing sat opposite Xiao Ling and asked curiously.
Xiao Ling gently put down the tea cup in his hand and answered Liu Qing's question with a smile: "Well, this visit to Tianhuang City is actually just a way. We plan to go to Danyu, so we wanted to pass by here and come to see you."
Liu Qing's eyes flashed with curiosity, "Alchemy Realm? That is the holy land in the hearts of alchemists! Are you planning to further your studies in alchemy?"
Xiao Ling nodded and said calmly, "Yes, improving the alchemy skills is one of the goals, and we also need to find some rare medicinal materials in the Dan Realm."
After hearing this, Liu Qing couldn't help but admired, "Then you've come to the right place. The alchemy skills of the Dan Realm are among the best in the entire Dou Qi Continent. There are so many alchemists there and there are a dazzling array of rare medicinal materials, which will definitely satisfy your needs. Demand." He paused and turned to the person behind Xiao Ling, "By the way, are these two friends...?"
"Haha, look at me, I almost forgot about serious matters." Xiao Ling patted his forehead, pointed to the two people next to him with a smile and introduced, "This is the Little Medical Fairy, and that is Qinglin. Both of them are Your school girl."
The Little Medical Fairy and Qing Lin looked at each other and smiled, bowed together and said politely: "Hello, Senior Liu Qing."
Liu Qing's eyes lit up, he waved his hands and said with a smile: "Oh, don't be too familiar with me. I'm afraid of this the most. Although I can't see your depth at once, I feel that you are definitely much better than me. . Our Canaan Academy is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, we have added a few masters!”
The little medical fairy and Qing Lin looked at each other and smiled, without saying anything else.
"Hey, Xiao Ling, I have something to tell you first." Liu Qing waved his hand, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, "The space wormhole you mentioned cannot be used yet."
Xiao Ling was stunned and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is the space wormhole malfunctioning?"
Liu Qing shook his head with a wry smile and scratched the back of his head: "It's not a fault, it's a rule. As you know, the space wormhole in Tianhuang City is jointly managed by our Liu family and Cheng family. There is a competition every year to decide. One year of space wormhole management rights. This competition is just three days away, so according to tradition, the space wormhole will be closed three days in advance, and only exit is allowed. "
Xiao Ling understood and couldn't help frowning: "So that's the case, then we really caught up with it at an unlucky time."
"Yes, most people in Zhongzhou know this rule, and the surrounding cities also have space wormholes. It is not troublesome to take a detour, so generally no one will come to Tianhuang City during this time to use the space wormholes. "Yes." Liu Qing explained, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Oh, that's it. Then don't we have to wait for three days? Otherwise, we will have to take a detour." Xiao Ling frowned slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
Liu Qing spread his hands and apologized: "I can't help it, this is the rule. But don't worry, as soon as the competition is over in three days, I will take you to use the space wormhole immediately, and I promise not to delay your journey to the Dan Realm."
Xiao Ling thought for a while and then smiled with relief: "In that case, let's stay in Tianhuang City for a few more days. Speaking of which, I also really want to see the competition between your Liu family and Cheng family."
Anyway, time is not urgent, Xiao Ling feels that staying here for a few days is not a problem.
"Haha, that's good. With you, a strong Dou Zong man, here, the morale of our Liu family will be greatly increased." Liu Qing laughed, with a smile flashing in his eyes.
"If there is anything I can do to help, I will definitely not stand idly by." Xiao Ling said with a smile, "You probably haven't taken Huangji Pill yet? If your family has medicinal materials, I can help you refine one. It’s just a piece of cake for me, it’s no trouble.”
Liu Qing laughed loudly: "Indeed, I haven't taken Huangji Pill yet. Our family does not have a sixth-grade senior alchemist. My original plan was to wait until I reach the high-level Dou Queen and then find a sixth-grade alchemist." Help. You are free now, so it would be perfect to leave this matter to you."
He paused, and his smile became even brighter: "As a thank you, I promise to make you live a comfortable life during your stay in Tianhuang City! If you like any treasures from our family, just ask, and I will try my best to help you get it. Got it."
