Chapter 454 Qinghua Old Man

"Oh, please stop teasing me and tell me what the reason is..." Cao Ying glanced sideways at Xiao Ling, couldn't help but raise her hand, and patted his shoulder gently, with a tone of voice. A hint of coquettishness.

After making such a joke, Xiao Ling stopped trying to be mysterious. His expression turned serious and he began to explain everything.

"Those who formed the team with you, after what happened before, they definitely don't dare to wander around in this alchemy world anymore. Even if they didn't immediately crush the space stone and give up the assessment and escape, they must have rushed to the alchemy world in a hurry. The exit of the world.”

"There will definitely be people from Danta stationed there. As long as they tell us about the previous events, our experiences will spread widely in a short time."

"Once the news spreads, Danta will definitely send people into the Dan Realm to investigate us. Therefore, we must leave here before the news spreads to avoid unnecessary trouble."

After Xiao Ling finished speaking, the doubts on the faces of Cao Ying and Dan Chen were like fog blown away by the wind, gradually revealing their looks of clarity.

If the news about the previous encounter with people from the Soul Palace is really leaked as Xiao Ling said, considering their status in the Dan Pagoda, the Dan Pagoda will undoubtedly send elite personnel into the Dan Realm to conduct in-depth exploration. Ensure that the personal safety of both of them is fully protected.

In this way, there will naturally be a lot of unnecessary trouble and trouble here.

If they can quickly evacuate this Dan Realm, then such troubles can naturally be avoided, and all bad factors will be effectively contained.

It was precisely based on this consideration that Xiao Ling did not find a suitable place in the alchemy world to immediately devour the Void Swallowing Flame that he had obtained from Venerable Mu Bone, as he originally planned.

It can be predicted at a casual thought that if Xun'er and others were to learn that they were attacked by the Soul Palace, it would only add unnecessary worries to them.

Xiao Ling didn't want to see such a scene in his heart. He would rather be in trouble than let those close to him worry about him.

In addition to this, Xiao Ling was also worried. He was worried that once Xun'er learned that she was in danger, out of concern for his safety, she might act impulsively and directly send strong men from the ancient tribe to help.

If this is the case, it is really difficult to predict whether the process of this alchemy meeting can proceed smoothly.

Xiao Ling regards this alchemy meeting as a stage to showcase his talents. He does not want to see any accidents happen that disrupt his plans.

After Xiao Ling's reminder, everyone naturally no longer planned to stay here too long.

After that, Cao Ying and Dan Chen quickly took action in the medicinal materials square and began to select the medicinal materials they needed for this assessment.

Since the medicinal materials they were looking for had obvious characteristics and were easy to identify, in just a moment, they successfully found the three rare medicinal materials required for this Dan Realm assessment.

After delivering a certain amount of precious elixirs in exchange, Cao Ying and Dan Chen each took over the three rare medicinal plants they needed from Xiong Zhan's hands.

Cao Ying and Dan Chen held three hard-won medicinal herbs in their hands, and for a moment, they couldn't help but feel endless emotions in their hearts.

They originally thought that this trip to the Dan Realm would be an easy experience, but they never expected that they would encounter such a thrilling life and death test, and almost died in it.

However, thankfully, at the most critical moment, there was one person who ignored his own safety and stepped forward resolutely, like a divine soldier from heaven, pulling them back from the edge of life and death. It was this heroic and fearless spirit. Their actions allowed them to survive this seemingly unsolvable disaster safely.

As their thoughts flowed, Cao Ying and Dan Chen couldn't help but cast their eyes on Xiao Ling, with a different kind of light shining in their eyes.

Cao Ying's eyes were filled with admiration. She felt how lucky and happy she was to be able to follow such a trustworthy and reliable man.

Cao Ying had already made a decision in her heart. She secretly made up her mind that after the elixir meeting ended, she and Xiao Ling would complete what they had failed to do before.

After experiencing all the twists and turns in the past, she has looked past it and must not leave any regrets to herself.

Although Danchen maintained her usual restraint, when her eyes touched Xiao Ling, she also showed unconcealable admiration and gratitude.

Deep in those eyes, there was a subtle emotion hidden even by herself that she had not noticed, like the drizzle in spring, quietly nourishing the heart of this young girl who was in her prime.

Xiao Ling did not notice such subtle changes between the two of them at this time. At this moment, he was accompanying Zi Yan to pack the medicinal materials that filled the entire square.

Since we are about to leave here, we naturally cannot let go of the good things here.

After Xiao Ling packed up all the medicinal materials in the square, all the matters in the alchemy world finally came to a successful conclusion.

The crowd didn't stop any longer. They stepped forward together and left the majestic stone hall. The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty hall.

Stepping out of the hall, Cao Ying's eyes swept over Zi Yan in Xiao Ling's arms and Xiong Zhan who was following behind them. She lightly opened her red lips and said warmly,

"If you two plan to leave this alchemy world, I can make some accommodations to the people in the alchemy tower. With my identity as a guarantee, I believe there will be no obstacles in arranging for you to leave safely."

Dan Chen nodded gently on the side. She had also heard about the Warcraft Overlord of the Wanyao Mountain Range and knew that he had lived in the depths of this Dan Realm for many years.

This time they were able to act smoothly, thanks to the secret help of the Warcraft Overlord. If he intends to leave this Dan Realm, they should naturally repay this favor and provide necessary help.

With their status in Dan Tower, it is not difficult to make this happen. Moreover, being able to establish contact with such a powerful eighth-level Warcraft is undoubtedly a good thing for Dan Tower to see.

"Don't bother with these matters, we have made proper arrangements." Xiao Ling smiled and waved his hand gently, saying casually, "However, please keep everything that happened here confidential to the two of you, and don't mention it to others, so as to avoid unnecessary troubles..."

Since Xiao Ling has made such a statement, Cao Ying and Dan Chen exchanged glances with each other, then nodded gently, and said nothing more. Since they already have their own plans, they obviously don't need to interfere any more.

"We shouldn't stay here for long. Let's set off immediately." Xiao Ling looked up at the sky, his eyes following the clouds gently, then he retracted his gaze and spoke.

Before the journey to the Dan Realm began, Rayquaza had already followed Xun'er closely.

Otherwise, Xiao Ling could have had a strong mount to speed up his journey.

But in the current situation, he could only rely on himself to travel.

"Flying alone is really a hassle..." As if he had noticed what Xiao Ling was thinking, Xiong Zhan smiled and suddenly blew a short and sharp whistle.

Then, a crisp bird song echoed in the Wanyao Mountains, and the sound penetrated the treetops and resounded through the valley.

Not long after, a huge figure flapped its wings and flew high from the top of the distant mountain range. The pair of broad wings flashed a dazzling luster in the sun. Finally, it hovered gracefully on the top of the mountain, instantly attracting the attention of several people.

"Let's go. This Xuanniao beast is very fast, and it is very convenient to ride it..." Xiong Zhan waved to Xiao Le. Before he finished speaking, his feet had already stepped heavily on the ground. With a shake of his body, he lightly jumped onto the broad back of the Xuanniao beast.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling and the other four naturally had no idea of ​​refusing. With such a mount, who would be willing to walk hard? They all jumped up and followed closely, landing on the back of the Xuanniao beast one by one.

"Ji!" A sharp cry cut through the sky, and the huge Xuanniao beast raised its head to the sky and made a loud cry.

Then, it spread its huge wings and flapped them violently, which immediately rolled up a gust of wind, carrying everyone on its back, like a flash of lightning across the sky, and flew quickly towards the exit of the northern Dan Realm...

...

The exit of the Dan Realm is located in the far north, far away from the Wanyao Mountains. However, fortunately, the Xuanniao beast summoned by Xiong Zhan has amazing speed.

With its swift flight, according to this speed, they will be able to reach the northern exit in less than a day.

Along the way, Xiao Ling did not see a few alchemists rushing to the exit of the Dan Realm. You know, there is still a long time before the Dan Realm assessment is declared over.

After all, not all alchemists can find the herbs they need for this assessment in such a short time like Xiao Ling and his friends.

On the way to the exit of the Dan Realm, Xiao Ling and his friends also met the group of people who were rescued by Xiao Ling before, who were rushing to the entrance of the Dan Realm.

However, their speed of travel is naturally not comparable to the speed of the Xuanniao beast ridden by Xiao Ling and his friends.

Because of this, even if Xiao Ling and his friends set out later, they can still reach the exit of the Dan Realm more quickly with the amazing speed of the Xuanniao beast.

After seeing this group of people, Xiao Ling simply greeted them. Although this etiquette was simple, it was enough to serve as an explanation.

In this way, it not only avoided causing any unnecessary trouble, but also did not need to let these people spread the news randomly and make others worried as they had worried and guessed before.

When these people saw that Xiao Ling and his group were safe and sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially Dan Xuan of the Dan family, his face, which had originally looked haggard because of his worry about the safety of his sister, seemed to be instantly revived after confirming that his sister was safe. The worry on his face faded, replaced by a trace of relief that was difficult to conceal.

In Dan Xuan's eyes towards Xiao Ling, in addition to the admiration for Xiao Ling's superb medicine refining skills and gratitude for his previous assistance, there was also a hint of puzzling satisfaction.

This strange look made Xiao Ling feel a little bit amused and a bit of inexplicable feeling in his heart.

Could it be that Dan Xuan was planning to send his sister away?

Since the size of the black bird was limited, Xiao Ling naturally had no plan to take these people with him. After a few brief greetings, he said goodbye to the group.

The black bird spread its wings, and its figure immediately turned into a stream of light, rushing straight towards the exit of the Dan Realm, leaving behind a look of amazement.

…

In a blink of an eye, nearly a day passed quietly in the hurried journey. When the dawn of the next day gradually illuminated the earth, a magnificent square made of white giant rocks finally appeared on the distant horizon.

The square was vast and silent. At this time, apart from Xiao Ling and his party, there seemed to be no trace of other examinees. The empty venue seemed particularly quiet under the morning light.

"Chi~~"

The black bird beast raised its head to the sky and made a sharp long cry. Then, its huge wings fluttered violently, and a gust of wind rolled up. Its figure was like a flash of lightning, quickly crossing the sky and rushing towards the square made of white giant rocks.

There was no one on the square at this moment, so the black bird beast had ample landing space and did not need to worry about anything.

It gracefully adjusted the angle of its wings, slowly descended, and finally landed lightly on the ground. Dust was gently raised as its claws touched the ground, and then fell quietly.

As the black bird's posture gradually stabilized in the air, Xiao Ling and his party jumped off its broad back one by one. The figures of several people drew an elegant arc in the air and finally landed lightly on the stone ground of the square.

Xiao Ling steadily caught Zi Yan who was flying down, and then his eyes slowly swept across the whole place.

In this empty square, his sight unexpectedly fell on a figure, an old man in a simple robe.

From the aura emanating from him, it can be clearly distinguished that he has the strength of a seven-star Dou Zong.

But Xiao Ling only needed to sense it to realize that this old man was not as simple as he seemed on the surface.

This man's cultivation has reached the Dou Zun realm, and his soul power is also quite strong, even slightly better than Cao Ying and Dan Chen. He is obviously an experienced eighth-grade alchemist.

"This must be the old man Qinghua," Xiao Ling thought to himself, "No wonder he was able to complete this assessment task so quickly. I wonder if he paid for it out of his own pocket or really found the required medicinal materials."

There is a deep connection between this old man Qinghua and Yao Chen.

I remember that year, the news that the Bone Spirit Cold Fire appeared in the world spread like thunder throughout Zhongzhou, and the old man Qinghua was naturally no exception and joined the fierce competition for the Bone Spirit Cold Fire.

In that battle, he and Yao Chen inevitably had a conflict, and there was a lot of friction between the two sides.

At that time, Yao Chen and Feng Xian were only Dou Wang-level warriors, while Old Man Qinghua had already reached Dou Zong-level.

In some frictions and collisions, they undoubtedly brought great threats to the two, and even caused fatal blows many times.

However, after going through hardships, Yao Chen finally succeeded in subduing the Bone Spirit Cold Fire with the help of Han Shanshan, and the old man Qinghua finally returned empty-handed.

This process took eight years, and the strength of Yao Chen and Feng Xian also improved rapidly during these eight years, and finally reached the point where they were not afraid of Old Man Qinghua.

Xiao Ling was not sure how the two sides resolved the previous grievances. If it were him, facing such a festival, he would definitely fight back and retaliate against the other party without hesitation.

If he met Old Man Qinghua by chance in this Dan world, Xiao Ling might secretly trip up Old Man Qinghua and make some secret moves to vent Yao Chen's anger.

But since he had come here, he felt that there was no need for him to do this again.

After all, when the dust settled on the Alchemy Competition and he successfully subdued the Three Thousand Flames, the attempt of the old man Qinghua to subdue a strange fire would also come to nothing.

By then, all his efforts would be in vain and he would end up working in vain.

After that, in the constant contact between the two sides, the initial grievances were resolved and a reconciliation was reached. The past disputes disappeared.

"Tsk tsk, the temptation of the Three Thousand Flames is really huge. For it, even the old generation of alchemists are willing to lower their status, but in the end they can only return empty-handed..."

Xiao Ling sighed softly in his heart, and couldn't help but admire it. This is the charm of the Alchemy Competition.

On this stage where many heroes compete, it is so difficult to stand out without real strength.

However, he can only apologize in advance to the other contestants of this Alchemy Competition.

Because no matter how hard they tried, how many days and nights they spent studying the method of refining medicine, and how many precious resources they invested to improve their own strength, in this alchemy conference, they could only become supporting roles in Xiao Ling's glorious story in the end...

At this moment, the alchemy world has not yet been opened, so there are no elders sent by Danta to lead everyone away in this square.

However, there are several deacons wearing Danta costumes on duty here to avoid accidents and to be able to convey information to the outside world as soon as possible.

Xiao Ling naturally has no intention of waiting for the alchemy world to open here. Therefore, he ordered Cao Ying and Dan Chen to negotiate with the deacons on duty and inform them that an accident has occurred in the alchemy world and they need to report to the high-level of Danta immediately, so they must leave this alchemy world in advance.

Cao Ying and Dan Chen not only have the noble status of eighth-grade alchemists, but are also core figures in Danta. Cao Ying is also the direct disciple of Xuan Kongzi, one of the three giants of Danta, and they all have the background of the five major families.

Therefore, the guards on duty did not dare to slack off and immediately activated a special communication method to urgently inform the high-level Danta officials stationed outside.

Soon, the space in the center of the square was slightly distorted, and an old man in a Danta robe walked out of the distorted space.

The old man held a cane in his hand, and the skin on his face was wrinkled like dried orange peel.

On his chest, he wore a badge of Danta, which emitted a dazzling purple-gold light, making him look particularly noble. (End of this chapter)
