Chapter 478 Joining Xiaodan Tower

The next morning, the sun shone through the window lattice into the slightly messy room.

Xiao Ling looked at Chu Wanqing beside him. She was still immersed in a sweet dream, breathing evenly, and there seemed to be no sign of waking up immediately. Seeing this, Xiao Ling did not intend to disturb the tranquility.

Yesterday's memories emerged in his mind, and Xiao Ling remembered the agreement with Xuan Kongzi. He sighed softly and gave up the idea of ​​waiting for Chu Wanqing to wake up.

Thinking of the embarrassing scene he was about to face, Xiao Ling couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

He didn't want to stay in this embarrassing atmosphere for too long, so he got up quietly and prepared to leave first.

After leaving a letter to express his feelings, Xiao Ling also used his spare time to learn the method of heavenly instruments from the little mink and carefully refined a jade hairpin in a conspicuous place. This is his heart, and it can also show his attitude.

After doing all this, Xiao Ling once again cast his eyes on Chu Wanqing who was sleeping peacefully on the bed. That look seemed to contain a lot of reluctance and helplessness.

Then, he turned around resolutely and walked out of this room full of memories with firm steps.

He passed through the winding and narrow alleys, bypassed the noisy and prosperous market, and walked quickly towards the majestic tower in the heart of Shengdan City.

Along the way, Xiao Ling met many alchemists from Danta. As soon as they saw Xiao Ling, they retreated to the sides and consciously made way for a passage. Their eyes revealed unconcealed respect and admiration.

In the previous alchemy meeting, Xiao Ling's performance was like divine help, which made everyone remember it vividly. Although many people here are much older than Xiao Ling, in the world of alchemy, strength is the most noble criterion.

Xiao Ling's alchemy skills are no less than the three giants of Danta. Such achievements naturally made him win the respect of these alchemists. Although they were older, they bowed their heads humbly in front of Xiao Ling like the younger generation, watching the young alchemy genius hurried past and headed for the towering tower that symbolized glory and power.

Xiao Ling had long been accustomed to the various admiring looks from all around. Since he embarked on the path of cultivation, such gazes have been following him like a shadow, and with every progress he made, these looks have become more and more intensive.

In the past, Xiao Ling might have responded politely, but now he seemed indifferent to it.

In such a large crowd, he was even too lazy to deal with it. After all, it would be better to invest his energy in more important things instead of wasting time on these meaningless greetings.

Moreover, if he really responded one by one, I am afraid that in the end, Xiao Ling's face would be stiff with laughter.

Everything went well, and within a few minutes, Xiao Ling arrived in front of a magnificent hall on the top floor of the Dan Tower. He gently brushed his collar to make sure his appearance was neat, and then slowly raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Hehe, please come in."

Just when Xiao Ling's fingertips just touched the door panel and knocked a few times, Xuan Kongzi's unique indifferent laughter came from inside the door.

Hearing this invitation, Xiao Ling pushed lightly, the door hinge made a slight creaking sound, and the door opened.

He quickly scanned the hall and saw three figures standing there quietly.

Two old men with white hair and beards, and a young and beautiful woman in her prime, these three people are naturally the three famous giants in Danta.

"Haha, Xiao Ling, you are finally here." Xuan Kongzi looked at Xiao Ling who was walking into the hall with a gentle look, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "You came earlier than I expected. I thought you had experienced such a long and exhausting process in the Alchemy Conference, and you must have rested well last night to recover your vitality."

"Haha, President Xuan Kong is worrying too much." Xiao Ling responded with a smile, and his tone was very calm, "After resting last night, I feel energetic, and the fatigue at that time has disappeared."

When mentioning last night, Xiao Ling's mouth twitched slightly, and some scenes in his mind could not help but recall.

Indeed, he rested last night, but it was only a short time of one or two hours.

In order to challenge the Battle Saint across levels, he paid a lot of price and barely suppressed it.

Fortunately, his physique is different from ordinary people, and his recovery ability is amazing. Otherwise, coupled with the continuous consumption of the Alchemy Conference, he might really need a long period of rest and recuperation.

"Look at Xiao Ling, he is only in his twenties now, he is in his prime, unlike you, who has become an old man." Xuan Yi on the side couldn't help but joked, with a bit of ridicule in his tone.

"Haha, Xuan Yi is right." Tian Lei Zi also joined in the ridicule, with a faint smile on his face, as if recalling the past, "Alas, time is not forgiving, we old guys are really not as good as before."

Under the casual ridicule of Xuan Yi and Tian Lei Zi, the originally slightly serious atmosphere seemed to be moistened by the spring breeze and rain, and instantly became relaxed and pleasant.

Everyone present couldn't help but smile, even Xiao Ling shook his head slightly, with a shy smile on his face, and the restraint and stiffness in the venue dissipated.

Afterwards, Xiao Ling exchanged greetings with Tian Lei Zi and Xuan Yi respectively. Although the etiquette between them was simple, it revealed a tacit understanding. Everyone did not continue to chat, but quickly got to the point.

Xuan Kongzi smiled gently, and the sound of his laughter was like ripples in a deep pool, spreading out slightly.

"Haha, the reputation of Danta in Dou Qi Continent is like that of the sun and moon. Everyone knows about it. However, there are still secrets in Danta that are unknown to the outside world. It is just the tip of the iceberg that has surfaced. "

He locked eyes with Xiao Ling tightly and asked slowly: "Xiao Ling, have you ever heard of the Little Alchemy Pagoda?"

Hearing that Xuan Kongzi suddenly mentioned the Little Alchemy Pagoda, Xiao Ling couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little surprised in his heart.

Despite this, his expression remained as calm as before, he nodded slightly and responded with a smile,

"I have indeed heard something about the Small Dan Pagoda in the Dan Pagoda. When I was in Xingyun Pavilion, the Master of Fengxian Pavilion once mentioned some sporadic matters about the Small Dan Pagoda to me. However, those are only fragments of information. For I don’t have an in-depth understanding of the internal situation of Little Danta.”

"Haha, that old guy Feng Xian actually revealed this to you?" Xuan Kongzi shook his head gently, with a playful smile flashing in his eyes. "But if you think about it, the friendship between them is extraordinary. It's not surprising that Feng Xian knows something about Little Danta."

After Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, he did not continue to make excuses, but directly explained to Xiao Ling.

"The so-called Dan Pagoda is actually a general term for a huge force. It is divided into two parts, one is the outside of the Dan Pagoda that is widely known to the outside world; the other is the secret core hidden deep inside the Dan Pagoda, the Little Dan Pagoda. Little Dan Pagoda The tower is the true soul of the Dan Pagoda, and it is because of their existence that the Soul Palace does not dare to take excessive actions against the Dan Pagoda..."

"To join the Little Dan Pagoda, the conditions that need to be met are extremely demanding. In the Dan Pagoda, there are only those alchemists who have proven their extraordinary talents externally, and their soul power must first reach the level of the spiritual realm. In addition, they must also You must have the alchemy skills to refine the eighth-grade elixir that can trigger seven-color elixirs, and only then can you be accepted by the Little Danta and become one of its members..."

"President Xuankong, what is your purpose in introducing the various aspects of the Little Alchemy Pagoda in such detail?" Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of temptation in his voice.

"Is it a hint that you want me to become a member of this Little Danta? However, according to what you said before, I am not a formal member of the Little Danta. According to the rules, I don't seem to be qualified to join the Little Danta. Bar."

"Haha, according to common sense, it is indeed the case. If you want to become a member of the Little Danta, you usually need to have a certain status and reputation in the Danta, and you must pass a test to prove your loyalty to the Danta. If you are not in the Danta, It is naturally difficult for people to meet these conditions." Xuan Kongzi smiled softly, with a hint of approval in his tone.

"And you, Xiao Ling, are a unique being. Your talent is so obvious that it even attracted the personal attention of the Great Elder of the Little Dan Pagoda. He personally praised your talent and firmly believed that you have great potential in the future. Promoted to the level of a ninth-level alchemist, it is precisely because of this that Little Danta breaks the rules and directly invites you to join."

"Over the years, you are the only one who can impress us old guys so much, Xiao Ling." A hint of appreciation flashed in Xuan Yi's eyes, and he said with a chuckle, with a trace of unconcealable approval in his tone.

"Haha, Xiao Ling is not only the champion of this Dan Pagoda, but also one of the three candidates for our Dan Pagoda. This status is enough for him to be regarded as a member of Dan Pagoda, so this invitation , It cannot be regarded as breaking the rules." Tianleizi also laughed softly and echoed from the side.

In response, Xuan Kongzi just smiled softly and shook his head. His deep eyes were full of expectations and praise for Xiao Ling. He focused his attention on Xiao Ling again and asked gently: "So, Xiao Ling, what is your decision?"

Xiao Ling pondered for a moment, with traces of deep thought on his brows. Finally, he nodded slowly, looked firmly at Xuan Kongzi's expectant eyes, and said in a calm tone,

"Since the seniors have kindly invited you, if I refuse any more, it will appear to be ignorant. But as a person from Xingyun Pavilion, I really have no intention of living in Shengdan City for a long time. Moreover, my itinerary has been fully planned. I have other arrangements, so all I can do is visit Shengdan City occasionally.”

"Haha, these are just trivial things." Xuan Kongzi stroked his silver-white beard and smiled until wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes. "In Xiaodanta, we never set limits on the personal freedom of our members. Here In Dou Qi Continent, many members of the older generation are still running around, pursuing their own paths, and some even return to the tower after decades. Such stories are not uncommon. "

"Besides, Xiao Ling, you are in your youth now, and you should be roaming around in the vast world. Maybe just around the corner, you will encounter that life-changing opportunity..."

Being able to successfully invite Xiao Ling, a young and talented person in his prime, to join Little Danta, and even the entire Danta family, Xuan Kongzi was filled with joy and satisfaction.

Looking back on the past, although they maintained a good relationship, after all, they only had a slight intersection and maintained a certain distance from each other. However, the situation has changed now, and Xiao Ling is no longer an outsider, but has truly become one of them.

As the two of them finished their discussion, Xuan Yi slowly approached from the side, flipping his hand gently, and a delicate jade pendant appeared in his palm.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

She handed the jade pendant to Xiao Ling and introduced in a solemn tone: "This is the token of Little Danta. Owning this token means that you have officially become a member of Little Danta. With this order, you can The permissions in the Dan Pagoda are extremely high, and you can browse them freely whether they are rare prescriptions or ancient books. In addition, you can also choose the medicinal materials in the Dan Pagoda's treasure house at will..."

Xiao Ling reached out and gently took the jade token, looking at it carefully. The jade tablet is moist all over, carved with complex lines, and has a faint luster, making it look extremely delicate.

He turned over the jade plaque and felt the delicate carvings on it, as if he could glimpse the long history and profound heritage of Xiaodan Pagoda.

After admiring it for a moment, Xiao Ling nodded with satisfaction and gently put the jade medal into the ring with skillful and natural movements.

The Alchemy Pagoda's collection is famous far and wide, with a rich collection of books and a variety of alchemy prescriptions that are unimaginable to the outside world.

Now that I have such authority, I can freely explore those rare resources. It is indeed a rare opportunity. When I have free time, I must go to the Alchemy Pagoda's collection to search, maybe I can gain something.

"Although you have now become a member of the Little Dan Pagoda, you are just one of the many ordinary members here." an encouraging smile,

"However, there is not much time left before the selection of the next Little Danta Elder Seat begins."

"By then, it shouldn't be difficult for you to stand out and be promoted to the elder of the Little Dan Pagoda with your superb medicine refining skills."

"Selection? I understand." Hearing this, Xiao Ling smiled softly and answered in a calm tone.

If Xiao Ling's memory is correct, the selection should have been held some time after the Bodhi Tree appeared.

At that moment, even Xiao Ling himself cannot accurately predict what state he will reach. This kind of selection is indeed not of any decisive significance to him.

While several people were talking, there was a sudden sound of light footsteps at the door of the hall, and then, there was a gentle knocking on the door.

At the same time, a woman's voice, as clear and melodious as spring water, floated into the hall following the knocking sound: "Master, we have arrived."

Hearing the sound, Xuan Kongzi couldn't help but look up at the entrance of the hall, with a gentle smile on his lips, and said softly: "This is Ying'er's voice. It seems that the top ten of the Alchemy Society in this world have all arrived. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Kongzi smiled softly, then waved his sleeves, and an invisible force surged out from his palm. Silently, he slowly pushed the closed door open. Behind the door, nine figures immediately came into view. caught his eye.

Xiao Ling also cast his eyes towards the entrance of the hall, and his eyes swept over the nine visitors one by one. The two leaders were Cao Ying and Dan Chen.

Among the crowd, Xiao Ling also spotted Xiao Yan. Noticing Xiao Ling's gaze, Xiao Yan raised his hand, waved in Xiao Ling's direction, and gave a brief hello.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Ling nodded slightly in response.

Then, his eyes returned to Cao Ying and Dan Chen again, with a smile on his lips and a gentle nod.

"It seems that this time the Danhui champion has arrived in the most timely manner. We have sent people to your house to inquire before, but we did not get any response. It turns out that you have arrived here quietly." Cao Ying twisted her waist slightly. , walking as light as a lotus in full bloom, walked slowly to Xiao Ling's side, and said with a bright smile.

"I just got up earlier this morning and felt I had plenty of time, so I came here early, just in time to discuss some matters with Senior Xuankong and the others." Xiao Ling smiled softly and explained in a gentle tone.

Then, Xiao Ling turned his eyes to Dan Chen aside, with a caring smile on his face, and his voice was full of soft concern.

"Sister Danchen, I saw you were spending a lot of energy refining the elixir before. I wonder if you have taken a good rest and recovered your strength."

"Thank you, Brother Xiao Ling, for your concern. Chen'er has taken good care of herself. She feels much better now, and there is nothing serious." When Dan Chen heard Xiao Ling's caring words, a warm current surged in her heart, and there was a hint of warmth in her words. There was a touch of tenderness, but her eyes firmly met Xiao Ling's and she responded in a gentle voice.

Xiao Yan, who came next, saw Xiao Ling chatting and laughing with the two stunning beauties with different temperaments in the Dan Pagoda. He couldn't help but touch the tip of his nose gently and thought to himself:

"As expected of my cousin, this temper that attracts girls has indeed not changed. I wonder if my cousin can control it?"

"As expected of the protagonist, the treatment he enjoys is unique. He has a script written by a cool male protagonist, which makes me a little envious."

"Since everyone has gathered here, let's get straight to the point." When talking about the topic, Xuan Kongzi's face gradually became serious, and he continued in a calm tone: "In two days, the door to the Star Territory will be opened, and you will be eligible to step in. Enter that special space and try to conquer the three thousand flames."

"That star field is a space rift that was torn open by the three of us. We also imposed a powerful seal to cleverly hide it under the boundless starry sky. Similarly, the three thousand flames were also sealed in within this space.”

When the news of Three Thousand Flames was mentioned, everyone's spirits were lifted. They held their breath and listened intently to the next words.

Xiao Ling also interrupted his casual conversation with the two beauties, and a sense of anticipation surged in his heart. The Three Thousand Flames of Flame were finally about to become his possession... (End of this chapter)
