He continued, "In the end, no one knows what agreement the two sides reached, but the Black Emperor Sect actually decided to publicly auction the Bodhi Transformation Saliva at an auction, which surprised many people. After all, this kind of treasure can't be auctioned casually."

Xiao Ling nodded. He knew there must be a lot of stories behind this, but he was more concerned about how many people's attention this auction would attract and how many powerful people would rush to the Black Horn Region for the Bodhi Body Saliva.

"It seems like this auction will be very lively." Xiao Ling's lips curled up into an expectant smile. He had already begun to imagine the scene of those fighting for the treasure until they were bloody.

Xiao Ling knew that the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva was of great value and it was related to his entire plan. He was worried that his every move might trigger an unpredictable chain reaction like a butterfly flapping its wings, affecting whether the Black Emperor Sect could successfully obtain the precious Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva. Therefore, he had been sitting still and patiently waiting for the right opportunity.

Originally, Xiao Ling returned to the Black Horn Region this time with the intention of going directly to the Black Emperor Sect to obtain the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva, because he estimated that there were still more than two years before the Black Emperor Sect's originally planned auction, and the treasure should have fallen into the hands of the Black Emperor Sect. In this way, a direct transaction could avoid a lot of trouble.

But now, since the Black Emperor Sect has decided to hold the auction in advance, Xiao Ling also intends to adjust his plan. Since the Black Emperor Sect has released the news of the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, this auction will definitely attract the attention of many powerful people, and many Dou Zong-level masters will definitely come here.

At that time, the scene will definitely be very lively, and there will inevitably be a fight between dragons and tigers. Xiao Ling secretly calculated in his heart that this might be a good opportunity for him to collect Dou Zong's body and soul.

After chatting with Su Qian for a few words, Xiao Ling stood up and said goodbye, left Su Qian's office, and returned to his own courtyard. His steps were relaxed, but his mind had already flown to the upcoming Black Emperor Sect auction.

Xiao Ling planned to use the time before the auction to refine a few seventh-grade pills. He wanted to thoroughly digest and integrate the knowledge of alchemy in his mind to improve his alchemy skills.

……

After a few days,

The inner courtyard of Canaan College suddenly became a little unusual.

“Boom…”

The originally clear sky seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, and dark clouds quickly gathered, covering the sky and the sun. Thunder rolled in the clouds, like the roar of an ancient beast, shaking the air in the entire inner courtyard. The sunlight was swallowed up, and the sky quickly darkened, as if it had entered dusk early.

In a corner of the elders' residence area, above Xiao Ling's courtyard, the clouds were particularly thick and the thunder was the most intensive. Lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating every corner of the courtyard and reflecting Xiao Ling's somewhat excited expression.

"Dan Lei."

In the sky, thunderclouds gathered like rolling ink, and thunder roared, as if the war drums of the gods were beating in the clouds. Elder Huo stood in his courtyard, looking up at this spectacular celestial phenomenon, with a solemn expression on his face, but his eyes flashed with excitement that was difficult to conceal.

"This thundercloud phenomenon is a sign that Xiao Ling is refining a seventh-grade elixir." Elder Huo muttered to himself, his voice trembling. He knew that this not only meant that a seventh-grade elixir had been successfully refined, but also that Xiao Ling had entered the high-level realm of alchemists.

Elder Huo stroked his gray beard and smiled with satisfaction. "It is my honor to meet Dan Lei in my lifetime." He said with emotion, and his admiration for Xiao Ling was self-evident.

After breaking through Dou Zong, Elder Huo successfully advanced to the sixth-grade alchemist under Xiao Ling's guidance. But he also knew that his talent and opportunity had reached their limits, and it would be almost impossible to make further progress unless he had a great opportunity.

Next to Elder Huo, Xiao Yan also looked up at the thunderclouds in the sky, his heart filled with yearning and fighting spirit. He unconsciously clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with determination, as if he was swearing to the thunderclouds in the sky that he would reach that realm one day.

Elder Huo noticed Xiao Yan's change in mood. He turned around, smiled, and patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder. "My dear disciple, there's no need to be envious. I believe that with your talent and hard work, you will definitely reach or even surpass Xiao Ling's current level in the future."

Xiao Yan turned his head and looked at Elder Huo with a firm gaze, "Master, I will. I will definitely work hard and live up to your expectations."

Elder Huo's eyes flashed with relief. He knew that his apprentice, though young, had an unyielding will and unlimited potential. He believed that as long as he was given enough time and guidance, Xiao Yan would become a rising star in the alchemy world.

"Tsk!!!"

At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant sword, and a silver-white lightning bolt suddenly shot out from the cracks in the clouds like the angry finger of a god, illuminating the entire inner courtyard of Canaan College. The dazzling light was so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it even in the daytime, and the sky and the earth were illuminated.

"Whizzing!"

Under the nervous and expectant gazes of the students and elders in the inner courtyard, a golden figure shot up into the sky like an arrow from a bow. The figure was particularly eye-catching in the air, and took the initiative to meet the lightning column that was about to fall.

"boom!!!"

With a loud bang, the lightning column exploded the moment it touched the puppet, turning into countless tiny lightning bolts that bloomed in the air like fireworks, and then quickly dissipated without leaving a trace. This scene was like a carefully choreographed fireworks show, short and shocking.

“Boom boom….

The thunderclouds in the sky seemed to be angered by this action. They rolled and roared, and even thicker silver thunder pythons emerged from the clouds. They had only one target, which was the Zongji Pill that had just been successfully refined.

"Bang, bang, bang.

Under Xiao Ling's precise control, the golden Sky Demon Puppet was like a god of war, with fist shadows as dense as a rainstorm, and each punch accurately hit the Thunder Python that fell from the sky. The moment the Thunder Python came into contact with the fist shadow, it made a deafening explosion and turned into countless tiny lightning flashes, blooming in the air like fireworks, brilliant but short-lived.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh….

In the shocked eyes of the crowd, the figure of the Sky Demon Puppet rushed directly into the thunder in the sky like a golden lightning. Its figure was looming in the thundercloud, as if it was fighting with the sky and the thunder.

The demon puppet rushed into the thundercloud and was instantly surrounded by thunder from all directions. The entire sky turned into a silver sea of ​​thunder. In the sea of ​​thunder, the demon puppet looked extremely small, but it was like a solid reef. No matter how the thunder hit it, it still stood firm.

"Zizzizi..."

Under the constant bombardment and tempering of the sea of ​​thunder, a few dark gold lines gradually appeared on the body of the Heavenly Demon Puppet. Although its momentum did not change much, it could be felt that it had improved a little. This demon puppet was originally carefully refined by Xiao Ling, and now under the baptism of the sea of ​​thunder, it looked even more extraordinary.

After more than half an hour of bombardment, the thunderclouds in the sky finally slowly dissipated, heralding the end of this Dan Lei. As the thunderclouds dissipated, the sense of oppression that enveloped the entire Canaan Academy finally dissipated.

"call--"

When the warm sunlight shone down again, many people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if they had just experienced a great battle.

"Whizzing!"

The Sky Demon Puppet followed and fell from the sky, landing beside Xiao Ling with an expressionless face. Although the color of the demon puppet at this time did not change much compared to before, there were several dark gold lines on its body, and the aura it exuded also improved a little, reaching the peak level of a one-star Dou Zun.

"Not bad!"

Seeing this, Xiao Ling nodded in satisfaction and muttered to himself, "Although the effect is not very significant, it has also improved. It seems that if you want to improve the strength of the Dou Zun-level puppet, you still have to absorb the pill thunder attracted by the eighth-grade pill to have a significant effect."

"Whoosh!"

Xiao Ling raised his right hand and waved it, collecting the Zong Ji Dan that he had just refined. Then he took out another batch of medicinal materials, put them into the Lingcui Ding, and began to refine them.

This Zongji Pill was prepared by Xiao Ling for himself and Xiao Yixian. Now that both of them have reached Dou Zong, they can use the medicinal power of Zongji Pill to help themselves improve their cultivation by one star in the Dou Zong realm.

However, one Zong Ji Dan was naturally not enough for two people to take, so Xiao Ling first gave this Zong Ji Dan to Xiao Yixiang to take, and then spent another two days refining a second Zong Ji Dan for his own use.

Under the baptism of the second pill thunder, the Heavenly Demon Puppet seemed to have undergone a gorgeous transformation. Its exterior color changed from the original dark gold to a darker color, as if it had been given new life. The power of thunder and lightning flowed through every inch of its metal skin, allowing it to stand firmly on the threshold of a two-star Dou Zun.

After taking the Zongji Pill, Xiao Yixian did not disappoint. Her strength improved by leaps and bounds, and she was promoted to a five-star Dou Zong. Moreover, her progress did not stop there. According to her, she had reached the peak state of a five-star Dou Zong, and was only one step away from breaking through to a six-star Dou Zong.

Elder Huo and Su Qian saw the changes in Little Medical Fairy and felt eager. They found Xiao Ling and asked him about the situation of Zongji Pill. They also wanted to ask Xiao Ling to help them refine a Zongji Pill.

Xiao Ling naturally agreed to all the elders who had helped him before he grew up. Not only did he agree to their requests, he also promised to give each of them a Zongji Pill. For Xiao Ling, who had the Palm of Heaven Bottle, matters related to medicinal materials were never a problem, and this amount of expenditure was just a drop in the bucket.

Moreover, Xiao Ling also planned to refine a Zong Ji Dan, and then ask someone to send it to the outer courtyard so that Vice Dean Hu Qian could also experience the effect of the Zong Ji Dan.

So in the next half month, a feast of Dan Lei would be staged in the sky of the inner courtyard of Canaan College every two or three days. The students were surprised at first, but later they got used to it and even began to look forward to the arrival of Dan Lei every time. They became a unique landscape in the college.

……

Half a month passed quietly, and Xiao Ling put almost all his energy into the practice of refining the seventh-grade elixir. His soul power had already reached the spiritual realm, and with the medicine refining memory of the Turtle Spirit Master, he only failed once in the past half month.

Xiao Ling was quite satisfied with this achievement. Now, he had mastered the skills of refining seventh-grade elixirs. With this foundation, he was full of confidence in challenging the higher-level eighth-grade elixirs.

During this period, Xiao Ling's alchemy skills were perfect and fruitful. He refined a total of five Zongji pills and two Ziling Xinhun pills. He did not keep all these precious pills for himself.

First, he gave a Zongji Pill to Xiao Yixian to help her improve her strength. Xiao Ling planned to take the other one himself to enhance his cultivation. He generously distributed the remaining three to Elder Su Qian, Elder Huo, and Vice Dean Hu Qian. These pills helped them improve their Dou Zong realm by one star each, greatly increasing their strength.

As for the two Purple Soul Pills, Xiao Ling gave them to Zi Yan and Xiao Yixian respectively. Because these two women had been diligently practicing the "Tai Yi Soul Art" and "Da Yan Art" taught by Xiao Ling, their soul realm had already reached the peak of the mortal realm.

After taking the Purple Spirit Heart and Soul Pill, their soul realm was like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, and they leapt to the spiritual realm of soul, which was undoubtedly a qualitative leap.

Chapter 276 Black Imperial City

Time flies, and soon it is the day when the Black Emperor Sect auction officially opens.

Early in the morning, Xiao Ling and his companions set out from Canaan College, heading directly for the Black Emperor Sect's headquarters, Black Emperor City.

Although the Black Emperor Sect and Canaan Academy are both in the Black Horn Region, the distance between the two is not short. If one's strength is not at the Dou Wang level, it will probably take several days to get there.

However, the group of people who set out today are all masters above the Douhuang level. Even if they are not traveling at full speed, their speed is astonishingly fast.

After about half a day's journey, Xiao Ling and his three companions were gradually approaching the Black Emperor City. Today, Medusa was particularly interested and did not choose to sleep, but turned into a human form, ready to go with Xiao Ling and the others to see the largest auction in the Black Horn Region. Qing Lin was not interested in this event and decided to stay at Canaan College.

As he got closer and closer to the Black Emperor City, Xiao Ling also discovered that there were more and more people on the road leading to the Black Emperor City. Obviously, these people were all heading for the auction in the Black Emperor City.

In a chaotic place like the Black Horn Region, there are many people and many eyes, so naturally there are many conflicts. Along the way, Xiao Ling and his companions could see a bloody fight almost every other section of the road. Medusa was initially a little shocked by this bellicosity, but as time went on, she gradually got used to it. Now, she can turn a blind eye to these violent scenes like Xiao Ling, Xiao Yixian and Zi Yan.

After all, as the queen of the snake people, what kind of cruel scenes has Medusa not seen? Her psychological quality is not to be underestimated. These small fights are just commonplace for her.

As they hurried along, with the afternoon sun shining through the mottled shadows of the treetops, the group finally saw the outline of a magnificent city at the end of the avenue.

They stood on a slope, looking at the towering city wall from afar, with a hint of admiration in their eyes.

This Black Imperial City is worthy of its name, and its spectacular scale does not disappoint the word "imperial". When they walked along the avenue and finally saw the outline of the city, the pitch-black city walls that stretched to the horizon gave people a cold and solemn feeling. The sunlight sprinkled on the city walls, reflecting a faint light, like a huge mirror, reflecting the surrounding scenery.

"This Black Emperor Sect is quite impressive!" Xiao Ling couldn't help but admire.

Medusa and Xiao Yixian also nodded. They were both well-informed people, but the scene before them still surprised them. The surface of the city wall was covered with a layer of rare black mirror stone. This material was not only hard, but also could reflect some attacks. It was an excellent material for building city walls.

However, Black Mirror Stone is not common, and the Black Emperor Sect was able to use it to build the entire city wall, which is enough to show their strong strength and foundation.

"This is much more magnificent than those buildings of the Gama Empire and the Snake People." Medusa couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. It was the first time she saw such a magnificent city.

Xiao Ling glanced at her and said with an inexplicable smile, "Haha, this is just the beginning. When you go to Zhongzhou, you will find that there are many more spectacular sights than this."

Hearing Xiao Ling's words, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in Medusa's eyes. She nodded slightly and said nothing more, but that glimmer of anticipation was enough to show her curiosity and yearning for the unknown world.

Xiao Ling's eyes moved away from Medusa and turned to observe the people who hurriedly passed by them. These people all exuded a fierce aura. Along the way, they met many powerful people, some at the Dou Wang level, and even Dou Huang level.

Judging from their route, they were obviously heading for the Black Emperor City. With so many powerful and hot-tempered people gathered in such a city, I'm afraid the city would not be peaceful in the days ahead. After all, when so many hot-tempered and powerful people gathered together, it was hard to imagine what would happen.

"This place is really chaotic." Xiao Ling thought to himself. The characteristic of the Black Horn Region is this lawless atmosphere. Here, no matter how powerful you are, it is difficult to completely suppress this chaos. In the Black Horn Region, people don't take rules and regulations seriously at all. They believe in "the hard fist is the hard truth."

Xiao Ling coughed lightly, stretched out his hand and grabbed Zi Yan who was looking around, and whispered to remind her: "After entering the city, restrain yourself. Although there are many treasures in the city, if you act recklessly, you will get into trouble. Do you understand?"

Although he wanted to make some big noise after the auction, now was not the right time. He had to keep a low profile and hide his strength, so that those strong men would underestimate him and he could catch them by surprise.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm very good!" Zi Yan answered nonchalantly without even blushing.

When these words came out, even Medusa and Xiao Yixian couldn't help but laugh. Obviously, they knew very well that Zi Yan was "well behaved". This girl was famous for her mischievousness.

"Okay, let's go."

Xiao Ling gently rubbed Zi Yan's head and decided not to say anything more. He knew that no matter how many times he warned her, it would fall on deaf ears to this girl.

He waved his hand, took Zi Yan, gave Medusa and Xiao Yixian a relaxed smile, and then led the way towards the city gate.

The two women also nodded, their eyes inadvertently sweeping over the curious or malicious eyes around them. In their eyes, a cold light suddenly flashed.

Medusa's movements were swift and decisive. With a wave of her hand, several long, snake-like strands of fighting spirit shot out like sharp arrows, pointing directly at the wretched men who were looking at them unscrupulously.

Almost in the instant before others could react, the men had turned into a cloud of blood mist and disappeared into the air.

After dealing with these uninvited guests, the two women retracted their cold gazes and continued to follow Xiao Ling's steps towards the gate of Black Emperor City.

As Xiao Ling and his group left, the tense atmosphere gradually eased and the chill dissipated. The passers-by looked at their receding backs and secretly thanked themselves for not rushing forward, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Hiss, that casual swing can be a fatal blow, he must be at least a Douhuang-level warrior. Does anyone among you know him?" A passerby asked the people around him in a low voice.

"I've been in the Black Horn Region for twenty years and have never seen such a person. He is definitely not from here." Another person answered with a hint of awe in his tone.

"They are probably powerful outsiders who were attracted by the Black Emperor Sect's auction. We can't afford to offend them anyway." Someone else added, his voice full of caution.
