Chapter 136 Arrival at Heping Town
After leaving the Black Seal Auction House, Xiao Ling bought some medicinal herbs from the "Qianyaofang" nearby and returned to the courtyard.
Seeing Xiao Ling return, Zi Yan immediately ran to Xiao Ling's side and hugged one of his arms, "Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, did you get what you were looking for?"
Touching Zi Yan's smooth purple hair, Xiao Ling showed a faint smile on his face, "I'm lucky, I gained a lot."
He stretched out his hand and a bunch of Qingling berries fell into Xiao Ling's hand. "This thing is not common. I was lucky this time to find a few bunches."
Seeing this, Zi Yan hurriedly reached out to Xiao Ling, grabbed the bunch of Qingling berries in her hand, pulled off one of them, and put it into her mouth.
It melts in your mouth, has a sweet taste, and a refreshing fragrance that leaves a lasting aftertaste.
Feeling the sweet taste in her mouth, Zi Yan squinted her eyes in comfort, with a satisfied look on her face. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's worthy of being called Qinglingberry. It tastes really good."
Zi Yan took a few more green berries from the bunch and handed them to Xiao Yixian and Qinglin. "You can have a few too. This stuff is very rare. I've only eaten it twice in Canaan College."
Seeing this, Xiao Yan felt a little envious and said, "Qingling berries can relieve fatigue, enhance the body's resistance, and speed up the practice of martial arts. They can also improve the practitioner's absorption efficiency of spiritual energy in a short period of time. If they are refined into pills, they can be refined into Qingling Huazhan Pill and Juling Xingshen Pill, two fourth-grade pills."
Seeing Xiao Yan's envious look, Xiao Ling smiled slightly and generously gave Xiao Yan a bunch of Qingling berries.
Little Medical Fairy looked at Xiao Ling with curiosity in her eyes, "Xiao Ling, when are we going to continue our journey to Canaan College? I am quite interested in Canaan College."
Qing Linhe asked in agreement: "Yes, yes, I am also very interested in the place where the young master grew up."
Xiao Ling looked relaxed, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, this little time is not a big deal. We will leave for Canaan College tomorrow and have a good rest tonight."
The Little Medical Fairy nodded slightly and replied softly: "Okay then, I'll listen to you."
……
Canaan College, outside Heping Town.
Standing on the back of the six-winged black snake king, Xiao Ling looked into the distance and could just see a small town looming in the angle between two majestic mountains in the distance.
Patting the six-winged black snake king on the back, Xiao Ling said, "Canaan College is almost here, let's land. No one is allowed to fly in the sky within a hundred miles of Canaan College unless it's an emergency."
Hearing Xiao Ling's instructions, the six-winged black snake king nodded obediently, flapped its three pairs of broad wings slightly, slowed down its flying speed a lot, and then slowly landed, finally landing on a hillside.
After the few people got off the six-winged black snake king, they merged into a loess road that led directly to Heping Town.
After walking for a while, they soon arrived at the outskirts of Heping Town and stopped.
Pointing to the dead tree that appeared within sight, Xiao Ling smiled and introduced it to Qing Lin and the other two, "This tree has a name, it's called the 'Dead Tree'. Anyone who dares to provoke Canaan Academy will eventually have their body hung on it."
Pointing to one of the corpses, Xiao Ling smiled faintly, "That person's name is Tang Ritian. He was a wanted criminal in Canaan College at the time. I killed him when I was a great fighter, and he was finally hung on this 'Dead Spirit Tree'."
After a brief introduction, Xiao Ling led a few people and headed towards Heping Town.
Xiao Ling and his group soon attracted the attention of the Canaan College law enforcement team.
Several boys and girls quickly came to Xiao Ling and his group. The man in the lead said first: "Anyone from Heping Town must report their identity, name, etc. Otherwise, they will be expelled directly."
"In addition, after reporting your names and identities, you must take this pill." The young man waved his hand, and a bottle of light red pill appeared in his hand.
Xiao Ling's face was calm. He calmly took out a token from his ring and handed it to the young man. "With my identity, I should be able to enter the academy directly."
The young man reached out to take the token, looked at it carefully, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he exclaimed: "You are actually the elder of the Alchemy Department, the sixth-rank alchemist Master Xiao Ling!" The young man's exclamation instantly attracted the attention of the people around him, and glances of surprise, admiration, or envy were cast in the direction of Xiao Ling.
"Oh, this is the elder Xiao Ling who is famous in the inner courtyard!"
"I've long heard that Master Xiao Ling's alchemy skills are superb. It's an honor to see him today!"
"Elder Xiao Ling is a legendary figure in our academy!"
"I heard that the elixirs refined by Master Xiao Ling have extraordinary effects, but I have never had the chance to see them. Today is really an eye-opener!"
"I heard that Elder Xiao Ling has an extraordinary appearance. Seeing him today, it is indeed true."
At this time, a middle-aged mentor noticed the commotion here and walked over from the side.
He first glanced at everyone, then his eyes fell on Xiao Ling, with a warm smile on his face, and he said with a cupped hand: "Elder Xiao Ling, Miss Zi Yan, how are you?"
Xiao Ling nodded slightly and said in return: "Teacher Huo De, thank you for your trouble."
Instructor Hode said quickly, "No, no, Elder, you are back, I will lead the way." As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation.
Xiao Ling did not refuse and followed Instructor Hood with his group.
Instructor Huo De glanced at Xiao Yan, Xiao Yixian, and Qing Lin, and asked Xiao Ling, "Elder Xiao Ling, who are these people?"
Xiao Ling smiled, first pointed at Xiao Yan, then pointed at Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin, and said: "This is my cousin Xiao Yan, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin are the geniuses I brought back."
"I plan to take them directly into the inner courtyard. There should be no need to register in Heping Town, right?"
Hearing Xiao Ling's question, Huo De waved his hand and said, "Since you are an acquaintance of Elder Xiao Ling, you don't need to waste time registering with me."
Glancing at the gradually darkening sky outside, Huo De smiled and said, "It's getting dark now, but I see you're in a hurry to get to the academy. There are still a few idle flying monsters in Heping Town. Does Elder Xiao Ling need to use them?"
Xiao Ling smiled faintly and shook his head, "There's no need for a griffin, we have our own flying mounts."
"Haha, in that case, I won't bother Master Xiao Ling. The flying station is not far ahead, and the monsters can take off from there."
After saying that, Hood said hello to Xiao Ling and returned to his post.
After Xiao Ling and his group said goodbye to Instructor Hood, they came to the Flight Institute.
Following Qinglin's soft call, the huge body of the six-winged black snake king appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone jumped onto the back of the six-winged black snake king. After everyone stood firm, Xiao Ling patted the snake's body and ordered, "Let's go!"
The six-winged black snake king flapped its huge wings violently, causing a gust of wind, and flew towards the inner courtyard of Canaan College.
On the back of the six-winged black snake king, Xiao Ling looked towards the direction of Canaan College. Xiao Yan, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin were also full of expectations.
As the sun sets, the sky is dyed orange-red, like flames dancing in the sky.
The silhouettes of several people standing on the back of the six-winged black snake king were stretched very long by the afterglow.
