From Battle Through the Heavens Simulation to The Great Ruler

"That is……"

When Elder Qing saw the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python peeking out from Xiao Feng's sleeve and acting coquettishly towards him, his pupils dilated in shock, and he exclaimed excitedly, "The Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python!!!"

The founder of the Heavenly Serpent Palace was a powerful figure who had awakened the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil. The Seven-Colored Devouring Python, as one of the very few ancient serpents unaffected by the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, was naturally a renowned figure within the Heavenly Serpent Palace.

The moment Elder Qing recognized the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, only one thought remained in his mind: to obtain it at all costs.

After all, according to the ancient records in the Heavenly Serpent Palace, the Seven-Colored Devouring Python is an ancient serpent that can grow into a ninth-order magical beast, comparable to a Dou Sheng powerhouse.

"Five hundred and fifty thousand gold coins!"

Soon, another bid rang out in the auction hall, startling Elder Qing awake. She quickly suppressed her excitement and continued bidding for the spirit snake vine.

After a fierce bidding war, Xiao Feng, with his deep pockets, ultimately won the Spirit Serpent Vine for a high price of 660,000 gold coins.

[Delicious, delicious...]

Hearing the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python's eager and innocent voice, Xiao Feng smiled and patted its little head, saying, "Alright, alright, when we get back, I'll use the Spirit Serpent Vine to refine pills for you. You're such a little glutton."

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next item to be auctioned is an extremely special magic core flight wing..."

Not long after Xiao Feng won the bid for the Spirit Serpent Vine, the Flowing Cloud Wings that he had personally crafted were also sent to the auction stage.

As Xiao Feng had predicted, flying magical artifacts like the Flowing Cloud Wings, which could be passed down as family heirlooms, were far more popular than flying combat techniques of the same level.

The pair of Flowing Cloud Wings, which cost only a few hundred thousand gold coins to produce, were eventually sold for a sky-high price of two million eight hundred thousand gold coins.

As time slowly passed, the auction gradually came to an end.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next treasure to be presented is the most prized possession of this auction."

Amidst the curious gazes of the crowd, the white-haired elder raised the white scroll in his hand and said, "This scroll contains a sword technique called the Yellow Springs Sword Art, which is a low-level Earth-rank technique!"

"..."

Upon hearing the white-haired elder's words, the entire auction hall fell into an eerie silence, with countless burning gazes fixed on the combat skill scroll in the elder's hand.

If it weren't for the Eight Doors' tight security and the presence of powerful Dou Wang or even Dou Huang experts in the shadows, someone would have already tried to snatch it.

When the white-haired old man announced the starting price of the Yellow Springs Sword Manual as two million gold coins, the entire auction house instantly erupted in excitement, and the bidding price soared at an alarming rate, breaking through the three million mark in the blink of an eye.

Chapter 127 Young Master (Second Update, Please Vote)

127.

After a bidding war lasting more than half an hour, the Yellow Springs Sword Technique was finally won by Elder Qing of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion for a Heavenly Rank of 10.5 million gold coins.

Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for a Dou Wang powerhouse like Elder Qing to come up with so many gold coins at once.

However, Elder Qing did not purchase the Yellow Springs Sword Manual with his own money, but with the money of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

The elders within the Heavenly Serpent Palace each have different responsibilities. Some are responsible for searching for outstanding talents outside, while others are responsible for procuring supplies outside.

Elder Qing's main job is to acquire all kinds of rare treasures in the Black Corner Region. He had finally encountered a Earth-rank fighting skill, so he naturally had no reason to miss it.

With Elder Qing successfully bidding for the Yellow Springs Sword Manual, this annual auction has come to a perfect end.

Xiao Feng first took Little Fairy Doctor and the others to the backstage of the auction house to collect the treasures he had won and the gold coins he had obtained from the auction of the Flowing Cloud Wings. Then he led them away from the Black Seal Auction House.

After returning to the Black Seal Restaurant, Xiao Feng, urged by the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, refined the Spirit Serpent Vine into a pill and fed it one.

At the same time, Elder Qing and the rest of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion arrived at the restaurant where Xiao Feng and his group were staying.

"Sir, the three guests you are looking for are staying here."

Led by the restaurant waiter, Elder Qing and her companions soon arrived at the VIP room where the three of them were staying.

"Dong dong dong..."

Elder Qing waved her hand, and three female disciples dressed in blue uniforms stepped forward and knocked on the doors of three guest rooms.

Soon, the three doors opened one after another, and Xiao Feng and the others came out of the room.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Xiao Feng was not surprised at all by the arrival of Elder Qing and the others. He had already heard Elder Qing's thoughts using his mind-reading ability, and was only pretending to be confused!

Even if Xiao Feng hadn't met Elder Qing and the others today, he would have found a way to contact the people of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

After all, the founder of the Heavenly Serpent Palace was the owner of the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, and could provide Qinglin with the most suitable cultivation resources for her.

"I am Qingyu from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. I have come today to make a deal with you, young master. May I ask your name?"

Although Elder Qing was determined to obtain the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, he did not dare to rely on the power of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion to forcibly seize it. Instead, he planned to conduct a normal transaction with Xiao Feng.

It wasn't that Elder Qing was too kind-hearted to commit murder and robbery, but rather that she suspected Xiao Feng and the other two had powerful backgrounds.

Even the Heavenly Serpent Palace, with a Dou Zun expert in charge, would find it difficult to cultivate a Dou Wang expert as young as Xiao Feng, let alone Little Fairy Doctor, who is a Dou Huang.

If it were just Xiao Feng alone, perhaps he would have been lucky enough to have some special opportunity that allowed him to break through to the Dou Wang level at such a young age.

But with the addition of Little Fairy Doctor and Qinglin, it can't be explained by luck alone. Their backgrounds might even be more powerful than the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

That's why Elder Qing chose to make a deal with Xiao Feng instead of contacting other powerful figures in the Heavenly Serpent Mansion to directly seize the Seven-Colored Devouring Python.

"My name is Xiao Feng. May I ask what kind of deal Elder Qing wishes to make?"

“Young Master Xiao, you must have heard of the name of our Heavenly Serpent Mansion. We are most skilled at controlling snake-type magical beasts.”

Elder Qing first cupped his hands to Xiao Feng, then pointed to the seven-colored Sky-Swallowing Python wrapped around his wrist and said bluntly, "To be honest, I came here today for this snake. As long as Young Master Xiao is willing to sell this snake to our Heavenly Serpent Mansion, our Heavenly Serpent Mansion will definitely pay a price that will satisfy you."

"Do not sell!"

Before Xiao Feng could even reply, Qing Lin blurted out, "No matter how much money your Heavenly Serpent Palace offers, we will not sell our master!"

"Master?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Qing's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of doubt.

"Xiaoyu, I advise you not to waste your time. This Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python is the evolved form of Queen Medusa, and my master is her personal disciple. There is no way he would sell the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python to you."

Just as Elder Qing was filled with doubt, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly rang out, followed by the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King emerging from Qing Lin's sleeve.

"Lord White Fang?!"

Upon seeing the eight-winged black serpent king shrunk to the thickness of a thumb, Elder Qing's pupils constricted sharply, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "How did you end up here?"

Although sixth-tier magical beasts cannot yet transform into human form, their intelligence is already comparable to that of humans.

Therefore, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King's status in the Heavenly Serpent Palace is comparable to that of an inner sect elder, and even higher than that of an outer sect elder like Qingyu.

"ε=(ο｀*)))Alas..."

Faced with Elder Qing's surprised gaze, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King sighed in a human-like manner and shook his head helplessly, saying, "Didn't I accept a mission from Green Barbarian to search for a child near the Tagor Desert who might have awakened the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil?"

Unexpectedly, although I found him, my master wasn't a newbie who had just awakened the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil; he had already broken through to the Dou Wang level. And so, I ended up like this.

Although the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King was enslaved by Qing Lin, it still retained its own consciousness and could still make sarcastic remarks if it wanted to, but it could not betray or harm Qing Lin!

The reason why the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King revealed to Elder Qing that Qing Lin possessed the secret of the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil was because it knew that the Heavenly Serpent Palace would not harm Qing Lin, but would instead nurture her with all its might.

The Jade Serpent's Three-Flower Pupil!

Elder Qing's expression changed drastically, and his gaze toward Qing Lin became incredibly fervent.

The Jade Serpent's Three-Flower Pupils hold a very special significance for the Heavenly Serpent Palace; even an ancient and exotic serpent like the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python cannot compare to it.

Elder Qing calmed his excitement and cupped his hands towards Qing Lin, saying, "May I ask your name, Miss?"

"My name is Qinglin."

"Azure Scales? What a nice name!"

Elder Qing murmured Qing Lin's name for a moment, then said excitedly, "Miss Qing Lin, please come back to the Heavenly Serpent Palace with me!"

Once you arrive at the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, our Mansion Master will personally accept you as his disciple, and you will become the Young Master of our Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

You are welcome to use any of the cultivation resources of our Heavenly Serpent Palace, and there are also many secret techniques that are very compatible with the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil.

"No, I already have a master."

Upon hearing this, Qing Lin shook her head without hesitation and refused, saying, "My master is Queen Medusa, and I am also the Holy Maiden of the Snake-People Clan. I cannot become your young master."

“Miss Qinglin, what you said is incorrect. There is no rule that says you can only have one master.”

Elder Qing tried to persuade him, "Moreover, your becoming the young master of our Heavenly Serpent Palace does not conflict with your becoming the Holy Maiden of the Serpent Clan. Many powerful figures have more than one faction under their command."

Chapter 128 Demon Slayer (Third Update, Please Vote)

128.

Qing Lin ignored Elder Qing's words and turned to look at Xiao Feng.

The reason Qinglin became Queen Medusa's disciple was because she listened to Xiao Feng's advice.

For Qinglin, her ultimate goal in becoming stronger was to be able to better help Xiao Feng.

If becoming the young master of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion could help him, then she would accept the position.

Xiao Feng naturally understood Qing Lin's dependence on him. He patted her little head and said, "Qing Lin, as far as I know, the founder of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion is the owner of the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil. It can provide you with the best cultivation resources, so I think you should still join the Heavenly Serpent Mansion."

Feeling the warmth from Xiao Feng's palm, Qing Lin squinted comfortably and said, "Since Young Master wants me to join the Heavenly Serpent Manor, then I will join the Heavenly Serpent Manor."

"Great! In that case, let's set off immediately!"

Seeing that Qinglin had agreed to join the Heavenly Serpent Palace, Elder Qing immediately prepared to take her back to the Heavenly Serpent Palace to avoid any unforeseen complications.

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing this, Xiao Feng quickly stopped Elder Qing and waved his hand, saying, "Although I agreed to let Qing Lin join your Heavenly Serpent Palace, I did not say that she should leave with you now."

Moreover, the Heavenly Serpent Empire, where the Heavenly Serpent Palace is located, is situated in the central part of the Northwest Continent, tens of thousands of miles away from the Black Corner Region.

What if Qinglin accidentally encounters danger on the way back to the Heavenly Serpent Palace with you?

"If your Heavenly Serpent Palace is truly sincere, then send a real expert to the Black Corner Region to personally bring Qing Lin back!"

"Alright, I'll send a message back right away. Please stay in Black Seal City for a few more days."

After Elder Qing finished speaking, he immediately ordered someone to send Qing Lin's message back to the Heavenly Serpent Palace as quickly as possible.
