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. It stretched its body lightly in the air, as if celebrating its own birth.
Xiao Ling gently stroked the bone-growing and blood-melting pill in his hand, with a helpless smile on his face. He said softly, "This little guy is indeed quite interesting and has a lot of commemorative value. However, in order to revive the Skyfire Venerable, it is the key. Besides, it is quite troublesome to refine another one."
Afterwards, Xiao Ling carefully placed the elixir into an exquisite jade box, his movements gentle and delicate, as if he was treating a precious work of art. Finally, he put the jade box into his storage ring.
Afterwards, Xiao Ling looked around and found that the courtyard was surrounded by a crowd of people, all of whom were high-ranking figures from various forces of all sizes in Tianbei City.
After the pill thunder dissipated, these Douhuang and Douzong level figures naturally dared not soar in the sky anymore, leaving Xiao Ling, the eighth-grade alchemist, looking up at them. They knew in their hearts that in front of such a distinguished alchemist, it was necessary to remain humble.
Han Chi and the Han family's ancestors looked at Xiao Ling with eyes that had changed from initial curiosity to awe. Xiao Ling's status as an eighth-grade alchemist was far beyond their reach. For such an alchemist master, everyone knew that they should give him enough respect.
Everyone present was eager to get closer to this living eighth-grade alchemist. Although they knew in their hearts that the possibility was very small, it was always good to try, and there might be unexpected gains.
However, Xiao Ling didn't want to have any friendship with these people, nor was he interested in doing so. Although refining the elixir to help the Skyfire Venerable revive was one reason why he was willing to make such a big noise, more importantly, he wanted to take this opportunity to improve his reputation and let everyone in Zhongzhou know of his arrival.
He hoped that his fame would spread quickly, so that perhaps it could reach Xun'er's ears and let her know that he had arrived in Zhongzhou. In this way, Xun'er would come to find him and they could be together 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."
Han Chi heard this and a subtle expression appeared on his face. Although this young man, who was about the same age as his daughter, politely called him uncle, he was, after all, an eighth-grade alchemist with a respected status. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart. Being called that by such an alchemy master really made him feel both honored and a little uncomfortable.
But he quickly adjusted his mindset and was secretly excited. The Han family's ability to maintain a good relationship with such a young eighth-grade alchemist would undoubtedly be a great help to the family's future development.
"Haha, Mr. Xiao Ling, you have indeed worked hard. You deserve to have a good rest." Han Chi responded with a smile, his tone a little unnatural, "If you need anything, just tell me. The Han family will do their best to provide you with convenience."
Xiao Ling nodded slightly, 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, ready to rest.
The people around were shocked when they heard Xiao Ling address the head of the Han family as "uncle". They thought to themselves, what is Han Chi's identity? And what is Xiao Ling's identity? Is this address really appropriate?
Especially Hong Tianxiao, when he heard this name, his heart suddenly 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 trouble than gain.
Although the Hong family has some friendship with Fenglei Pavilion, Fenglei Pavilion will never offend an eighth-grade alchemist over 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, step forward to get close to Xiao Ling and deepen their relationship.
But before he could act, the indifferent voice of Little Doctor Fairy had already sounded in the room, clearly reaching everyone's ears: "You are not welcome here. I suggest you leave as soon as possible, otherwise you will bear the consequences at your own risk."
As soon as he finished speaking, the aura of Little Medical Fairy 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 Seven-Star Dou Zong, which made everyone gasp.
To be able to have such achievements at such a young age, this talent is truly 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, so maybe we can be of some help. Could you please introduce me to someone?" There was a hint of reluctance in his tone, and it was obvious that he didn't want to give up.
Xiao Yixian frowned slightly and said in a cold tone: "I said you are not welcome here. Xiao Ling needs to rest now and will not see anyone."
She also remembered that Xiao Ling had secretly learned the Fenglei Pavilion's unique skill "Three Thousand Thunders". If he came into contact with the people of Fenglei Pavilion, it might cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, she rejected Hong Tianxiao's request more firmly.
After hearing Little Medical Fairy's answer, Hong Tianxiao could only shut up. He knew that the young woman in front of him had a close relationship with the eighth-grade alchemist, and he could not easily offend her.
Hong Tianxiao was self-aware. Although the Hong family was very powerful in Tianbei City, they were nothing in front of an eighth-grade alchemist.
He smiled awkwardly, politely bowed to the Little Medical Fairy, then turned to the Han family ancestor, with a hint of sourness in his tone that was difficult to conceal: "The Han family is really lucky to have a relationship with an eighth-grade alchemist."
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 long, and left tactfully. Soon, the originally lively courtyard became much quieter.
Han Chi looked at Han Yue and Han Xue, and his heart moved. He smiled and said, "Yue'er, since you and Mr. Xiao Ling are old acquaintances, you didn't have a chance to have a good chat before. Now is an opportunity. Your sister is about the same age as you two, so it would be good to communicate more."
"There are still some matters in the clan that need my attention. You young people can chat slowly." Han Chi had just finished speaking and left in a hurry without waiting for Han Yue and Han Xue to respond.
Upon seeing this, the Han family's ancestor also saluted the Little Medical Fairy with his fists clasped, then disappeared from the spot in a flash.
As a result, only Han Yue, Han Xue and Xiao Yixiang were left in the courtyard.
Han Yue is experienced and she can tell what her father is thinking. However, she already has that kind of relationship with Xiao Ling, so why does her father push her sister into this? This is really troublesome.
While Han Yue was still thinking about how to respond, Han Xue had already excitedly hugged her arm, her eyes flashing with excitement, and said: "Sister, Xiao Ling is a Dou Zong master at such a young age, and he is also an eighth-grade alchemist. You are so lucky to be studying outside and meet such a powerful person. Can you introduce us to each other?"
Seeing her sister's face full of admiration and expectation, Han Yue felt mixed emotions. Now it seemed that Han Xue had some special ideas about Xiao Ling, which made Han Yue feel both amused and helpless.
Seeing this scene, the Little Medical Fairy Zi Yan and Qing Lin couldn't help but laugh. In their impression, Han Yue has always been a mature and steady person. It's rare to see him looking a little helpless like this.
"Alright, alright, Senior Sister 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 has been busy refining pills these days and hasn't had much time to talk to you."
Han Yue's cheeks flushed slightly, and she nodded gently. Indeed, because of Xiao Ling's alchemy, the two did not communicate well with each other, and she missed him a little 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 began to ask about business.
"Han Yue, does your 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, "When 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, and even my father knew very little about it. However, I later consulted the ancestor, and he did provide some information."
"The Poison Mist Valley is hidden in the core area of the Nether Mountain Range in the northern region of Zhongzhou." Han Yue spoke slowly and steadily, her voice steady and methodical. "The Nether Mountain Range is not well-known in the northern region. To most people, it is just a desolate and dangerous place. Apart from those practitioners who specialize in poison skills, few people are willing to take risks there, so not many people know about the Poison Mist Valley. Even the ancestor of our Han family heard about it from a Dou Zong friend who practiced poison-attribute Dou Qi."
After a slight pause, she continued, "There is a small city near the Nether Mountain Range, called Youyun City. Although it is small and not very prominent among the many cities in the northern region of Zhongzhou, the Nether Sect there is well-known for its expertise in the use of poison and manipulation of poisons, and most of the disciples in the sect practice poison skills. If you plan to explore the Nether Mountain Range, you can go to Youyun City first. It's not far from Tianbei City to Youyun City, and with your walking speed, it shouldn't take long to get there."
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 in the map shop in Xingyao City. The map clearly marked the location of Youyun City, as well as some other useful information.
Xiao Ling also visited some auction houses and antique shops to inquire about this information. However, he did not get any useful clues. As expected, the old forces in Zhongzhou are more familiar with this kind of special intelligence.
After getting the information he wanted, Xiao Ling showed a happy smile on his face and said to Han Yue: "It's really 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 Lord Skyfire 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 level seven in strength.
By then, both the Netherworld Poison Fire and the Netherworld Poison Dragon Scorpion Demon Core that helps Xiao Yixiang condense the poison pill can be obtained.
Facing Xiao Ling's thanks, Han Yue smiled lightly and said nothing more. Being able to help Xiao Ling was enough for her.
But when she thought that Xiao Ling's trip was to find opportunities for the Little Medical Fairy, she felt a complicated emotion in her heart, and always felt something was strange.
She had heard from Zi Yan before that Xiao Ling and Xiao Yixian were in love. Although she had a premonition, she still felt mixed emotions when she heard the news.
However, Han Yue and Xiao Yixian have always had a good relationship, and they had communicated in this regard before, so there was no unpleasantness. Even if Xiao Ling did not raise the question, Han Yue would go all out to help Xiao Yixian collect information in this regard.
"Well, as long as he has a place for me in his 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 hint of imperceptible tenderness and expectation.
……
Qifeng Mountain is quite famous in the entire northern region of Zhongzhou, not because there is a phoenix in the mountain, but because Fenglei North Pavilion stands on this mountain.
Fenglei Pavilion is divided into four pavilions: East, West, North and South. Among them, the East Pavilion is the main one, and the Southwest and North are supplementary. The East Pavilion is the most powerful, and the other three pavilions are slightly less powerful. But even so, any one of the three pavilions has the ability to It has the qualifications to join the first-class forces in Zhongzhou, and the four pavilions combined into one can rival some of the top forces, and can be called a giant in the northern region of Zhongzhou.
Qifeng Mountain is quite steep and steep, and the peaks are shrouded in a thick layer of fog, giving it a fairyland-like feeling.
The top of Qifeng Mountain looks like it was split in half by a giant axe. On top of it, many buildings are hidden in the lush greenery, appearing and disappearing. The most eye-catching thing on the entire mountain top is a giant silver tower on the highest peak.
This huge tower that shoots straight into the sky is called the Beilei Tower. The whole body is covered with bright silver. Some thunderous sounds can be heard faintly from it. This is the holy land of practice in Fenglei Beige. Only those who perform outstandingly will be awarded the title. Have the qualifications to enter and practice.
The highest floor of Beilei Pagoda is a rather empty hall. There are several people sitting in the hall at this moment. A majestic momentum permeates the hall, making the guards at the door of the hall tremble. .
"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 light spreads around the chair. On it, a figure in a silver robe leans lightly on 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 pass on the news to Fenglei North Pavilion today. According to what they said, the eighth-grade alchemist finished refining the elixir in the morning. Many people in Tianbei City saw the four-color elixir with their own eyes, so the news should be true."
Hearing this, the elders of the Fenglei North Pavilion were all shocked. An 8th-grade alchemist, who was as mysterious as a dragon, would actually appear 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 is one that even our Fenglei Pavilion should befriend. I will go there in person this time to Tianbei City to try to win him over. Even if I can't win him over, I will at least get some information about that alchemist."
"Four elders, during the time I am away, all matters of Fenglei North Pavilion will be handled by you."
"Yes!"
……
The night was like a huge piece of black silk, silently covering the entire Tianbei City. The hustle and bustle of the day was replaced by the tranquility and peace of the night.
In a courtyard deep inside the Han Family Manor, candlelight danced in the room, stretching out two figures. Han Yue and Xiao Ling, the long-lost lovers, finally had some time alone under the cover of night.
"Yue'er, have you missed me in two years since we last met?" Xiao Ling's voice rang out in the quiet room, with a hint of teasing and affection.
Han Yue bit her lips lightly, a hint of coquettishness flashed in her eyes: "I do miss you, but I don't know whether you miss me or not. Even the Little Doctor Fairy was taken down by you."
Xiao Ling just smiled and didn't pick 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 longing for each other."
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Ling's lips were pressed against Han Yue's, and the two of them 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 gasps could be heard from the room. The spring scene that filled the whole room was a secret unique to this night, and no third person could see it.
