The crowd around them were talking in low voices, shocked by what had just happened. Xiao Ling and the others did not hear these discussions, but even if they did, they would not take it to heart.

After walking for a while, Xiao Ling and his team had walked down the slope, and after walking for a distance, a majestic city gate came into view. Outside the city gate, a long team was winding and noisy, almost unbearable to the ears.

Seeing those strong men with naked upper bodies and scars crowded together to form a human dragon, Medusa and Xiao Yixian couldn't help but frown. They were both women with a bit of mysophobia, so they were naturally not used to such a chaotic scene.

Xiao Ling noticed their expressions, and he glanced around the city gate, as if looking for something. He knew they didn't like this crowded environment, so he thought, maybe there is a faster way to get into the city.

Before Xiao Ling could come up with a countermeasure, a discordant voice came from the city gate. A rude voice sounded: "Hey, look at those two girls, they are absolutely amazing. I haven't seen such hot girls in a long time. Their figures are so attractive."

Then, another voice with an obscene smile said: "Haha, that little girl is also very cute. I really want to pinch her face."

When Xiao Ling heard the noise, he didn't intend to continue thinking about it. He calmly turned his gaze to the source of the sound, and saw a group of burly men gathered together. Their eyes greedily swept over Medusa and Xiao Yixiang.

What's even more outrageous is that some of them were actually staring at Zi Yan, and their eyes were extremely shameless.

Those malicious laughs caused a burst of vulgar laughter in the queue. During the long wait, seeing two beautiful women being harassed seemed to be entertainment to some people. They thought that humiliating the young man with three women was also a kind of amusing pastime.

Medusa's temper was well-known in the Gama Empire, enough to calm a crying child at night. But at this moment, she was not angry because of these rude looks and words. She gently pulled Zi Yan's hand, and the latter's little face turned red because of anger.

Medusa turned her gaze to Xiao Ling, as if asking for his opinion. After all, they had already reached the city gate, and whether to cause a commotion here depended on Xiao Ling's decision.

Xiao Ling took a step forward and gently stopped the little medical fairy who was about to attack. His voice was calm and firm: "Let me handle it. These people have already sought their own death."

Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Xiao Yixian nodded and stepped aside. She knew that Xiao Ling would use the most appropriate way to deal with these ungrateful people.

Although it was not the first time for Xiao Yixian to set foot in the Black Horn Region, she had never really dealt with the people here before. She had heard that most people in the Black Horn Region were not good people, but after all, she had never seen it with her own eyes.

After this journey of observation, she had a direct feeling: almost all the people in the Black Horn Region were cunning and insidious, and they were all unscrupulous guys. It was harder to meet a good person here than to find a pie in the sky.

Xiao Ling was not very interested in these minor characters, and he did not want to get entangled with them. With a sneer on his face, he swept his eyes over those people, and the fighting spirit in his body began to flow quietly, and the Fallen Heart Flame was ready to be unleashed in his body, ready to teach them the necessary lesson at any time.

"Is this accumulating energy? There's no reaction at all. Watch me and don't compete with me!" Another strong man was not to be outdone, with a hint of contempt in his tone.

"I'll join in the fun too. I want that..." The third strong man also joined in. While talking and laughing, they rolled up their sleeves and prepared to walk towards Xiao Ling and the others. It was obvious that they were going to teach Xiao Ling and the others a lesson.

The laughter of these strong men was full of ridicule and disdain, and they seemed to be completely unaware of what they were about to face. Their steps were firm, and their eyes revealed a greed and cruelty that was about to succeed.

At that moment, those guys who had been looking at each other with obscene eyes and speaking disrespectfully just now suddenly froze, and the words in their mouths stopped abruptly.

Then, an invisible fire seemed to ignite in their bodies. The sudden severe pain made them unable to maintain their balance. They fell to the ground one after another, letting out sharp and painful howls.

This scene made the surrounding crowd quiet down instantly. They looked at this scene in horror, realizing that these strong men had obviously touched the bottom line that should not be touched.

Their original arrogance instantly turned into panic, and they realized that they had offended someone they shouldn't have offended. They rolled madly on the ground, trying to relieve the burning sensation that was almost tearing them apart, and they began to beg for mercy one by one.

"Sir, please spare my life!" a strong man wailed.

"Sir, just treat what I said before as bullshit and let me go." Another strong man said hurriedly.

"Sir, it was my fault that I failed to recognize a great man." Another strong man begged for mercy in a trembling voice.

However, Xiao Ling was indifferent to their pleas. He didn't even look at them and simply ignored their existence. The people around were also shocked by this scene, and their eyes were filled with fear.

Those who were entangled by the Fallen Heart Flame did not get relief immediately. Xiao Ling cleverly controlled the intensity of the flames to ensure that their suffering would not end too quickly. These people would have to slowly experience the torment of the flames in the next half hour, feeling their vitality being drained away bit by bit.

The people around witnessed this scene and automatically made way for him. They didn't dare to approach this obviously untouchable character. They didn't even dare to look directly at Xiao Ling, fearing that they would suffer the same fate if they were not careful. There was a tense atmosphere in the air, and everyone was carefully trying to avoid becoming the next target.

Soon, Xiao Ling and his companions quickly arrived at the city gate.

There are two passages here, one is an ordinary black door, and the other is a more noble-looking purple door.

Next to the purple door, there were a dozen burly men in light yellow tights standing upright. The powerful aura emanating from their bodies made the people queuing on the other side dare not get close at all. They could only wait with their heads down for the queue to move forward slowly.

The presence of these big men undoubtedly added a bit of majesty to the Purple Gate, and also made the people in line feel an invisible pressure. Their eyes revealed awe, and it was obvious that they knew the strength of these guards very well.

"Xiao Ling, we don't have to queue up, right?" Zi Yan glanced at the long line and turned to ask Xiao Ling.

Although Xiao Ling was also visiting Black Emperor City for the first time, he knew a thing or two about the rules here: "It shouldn't be necessary. The strong always have some privileges. That purple passage looks like it's for VIPs. Let's go that way."

After hearing Xiao Ling's words, everyone went straight towards the purple passage without hesitation.

When Xiao Ling and his companions walked directly towards the purple passage, the eyes around them immediately became surprised. The purple door was specially set up by the Black Emperor Sect for the well-known strong men in the Black Horn Region. Without the strength of the Douhuang level, ordinary people would not dare to hope to enter from here.

Are these people all Douhuang-level warriors? This question arises spontaneously in the minds of the onlookers.

Zi Yan was particularly eye-catching. She looked only about thirteen or fourteen years old. Could she also be a Douhuang? This was unbelievable.

Under the gaze of the crowd, the four slowly walked towards the purple door. The dozen or so men in tight clothes guarding the door suddenly turned alert with their sharp eyes, but then an old man's laughter came from behind them, breaking the tense atmosphere at the moment.

"Haha, friends, this is a passage specially prepared for Douhuang powerhouses. If you are not strong enough, please take a detour." An old man holding a pipe and wearing a yellow robe walked out slowly. He looked at Xiao Ling and the others carefully, with a hint of smile in his tone.

Xiao Ling didn't say much, but just casually released a Dou Zong-level aura. This powerful aura was like a gust of wind, which made the people around him feel pressured. They all cast awe-inspiring glances at him and consciously kept a certain distance from Xiao Ling and his group.

Because of the auction that Black Emperor City was going to hold, although many Dou Zong-level masters came to Black Emperor City, true Dou Zong masters were still rare and not someone that anyone could provoke.

Feeling the aura of Dou Zong, the old man's eyes narrowed slightly, his surprise was obvious, and his attitude became more respectful. Just as he was about to say something, an attendant hurried over and whispered a few words into the old man's ear, probably about the murder that Xiao Ling and his men had committed earlier.

After listening to the report from his attendant, the old man's eyes gradually became serious. Obviously, he had understood the tempers of Xiao Ling and the others. He knew that these people were cruel and ruthless, so he had to be polite in entertaining them.

The old man waved away his followers, took a few steps forward, and bowed slightly to Xiao Ling and the others, with a polite smile on his face: "May I know the names of the distinguished guests?"

The old man who was guarding the gate was only a four-star Dou Wang, but when facing a Dou Zong master like Xiao Ling, although his attitude was respectful, he did not show any fear. After all, he had the support of the Black Emperor Sect behind him, which gave him enough confidence.

He knew in his heart that his clan leader was a four-star Dou Zong, and even if other Dou Zong masters came to Black Emperor City, they would be given a certain amount of respect.

Of course, if he knew that there were three Dou Zong masters among the group of people in front of him, he probably wouldn't be so calm.

Chapter 277 The auction begins

"Pure and innocent Young Master Tang San." Xiao Ling made up a name at random, with a hint of weirdness in his tone, "Just call me Tang San."

"So it's Mr. Tang San." A gleam of light flashed in the old man's eyes, and then he smiled and said, "I guess you guys are here for the auction in Black Emperor City too?"

Xiao Ling glanced at the old man with a look that said, "Do I even need to ask this?" He thought to himself, "If it's not for the auction, then is it to come to your Black Emperor Sect's banquet? How could I possibly tell you my real purpose?"

He nodded casually and urged impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, can we go in?"

"Of course you can..." The old man nodded quickly, took out a green waist badge from his ring and handed it to Xiao Ling.

"Mr. Tang San, now that Black Emperor City is bustling with people, it's not easy to find a place to live. But our Black Emperor Sect has prepared a special resting place for the Black Horn Region's strong men. You just need to take this token to the 'Black Emperor Pavilion' in the city center, and someone will arrange accommodation for you. Those who can live there are all well-known strong men in the Black Horn Region. You should be able to find out their information by just asking around, so I won't go into details."

Xiao Ling took the token, thanked them casually, and then took Medusa and the other two people, and slowly walked into the purple gate under the envious eyes of the people around...

After watching Xiao Ling and the others disappear behind the purple gate, the old man immediately beckoned over a subordinate and ordered him hastily, "Go quickly and report this news to the sect master. Another Dou Zong expert has arrived."

The subordinate responded, turned around quickly, and left the scene in a hurry, obviously to carry out the old man's orders.

After his men left, the old man narrowed his eyes slightly, tapped his hands with his pipe, and muttered to himself, "How come I have never heard of the pure and innocent Third Young Master Tang? I don't know where he came from. I hope he won't cause any trouble."

……

Passing through the narrow and dim city gate, the four of them stepped into the sunny outdoors. The dazzling sunlight poured down from the sky, and the hustle and bustle of the city once again flooded into their ears like a tide.

They squinted their eyes and gradually adapted to the light outside, then looked up and saw the huge internal structure of the Black Emperor City and the bustling crowds on the wide streets. Even Xiao Ling couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

The grand scale of the Black Emperor City was indeed impressive. It was no less impressive than the capital of the Jia Ma Empire. In some ways, its unique charm even made the capital pale in comparison. There were some things that the capital did not have. This prosperous city was undoubtedly one of the most lively places Xiao Ling had ever seen since he set foot on the Dou Qi Continent.

"Shall we go directly to the Black Emperor Pavilion?" Little Medical Fairy turned around and asked Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling nodded gently and replied, "Yes, let's go to the Black Emperor Pavilion to rest for a night and recuperate. The auction will start tomorrow."

After saying that, his eyes fell on Zi Yan, who was looking around with a curious face, and then continued: "If you want to walk around the city, that's no problem. The money I gave you before should be enough for you to spend for a while. Remember not to cause trouble. If you encounter any problems, remember to find us."

After getting Xiao Ling's permission, Zi Yan immediately smiled and her eyes lit up. With her childlike nature, she was always full of curiosity and interest in lively places.

Seeing Zi Yan so excited, Xiao Yixian also smiled and said, "You guys should go to the Black Emperor Pavilion and settle down first. I will accompany Zi Yan to look around. She is quite interested in this place."

Xiao Yixiang had long noticed that there seemed to be a subtle feeling flowing between Medusa and Xiao Ling. She felt that giving the two some time alone together might help their relationship go a step further.

Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with Xiao Ling's fickleness, she also knew that Xiao Ling was not the type to stay by one person's side from the beginning. She could only accept the current situation.

She knew that her achievements today were inseparable from Xiao Ling's help. In the future, Xiao Ling would help her solve the problem of the poisonous body.

If she hadn't met Xiao Ling, she might have ended up like other people with the poisonous body in history, unable to escape the fate of disaster. So, despite Xiao Ling's shortcomings, she would still choose to accept and tolerate him.

Xiao Ling nodded and agreed to Xiao Yixian's proposal. With her watching over him, he was not worried that Zi Yan would get into trouble. So, they split into two teams.

Xiao Ling took Medusa directly to the Black Emperor Pavilion. He could feel that there were many powerful people gathered here, and it could be said that there were many masters and hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

The strength of the Black Horn Region is indeed well-deserved and should not be underestimated.

With the token given by the old man, Xiao Ling successfully booked two rooms, which were enough for the four of them to rest at night.

“In this Black Emperor Pavilion, there are at least a dozen auras of Dou Huang powerhouses. They are most likely masters on the Black List, or leaders of major forces. It seems that it will not be an easy task for you to take down the Bodhi Transformation Saliva this time.” After entering the room, Medusa laid down a Dou Qi soundproof barrier, then sat on a chair and spoke calmly.

Xiao Ling nodded, not showing too much surprise. His soul power was stronger than Medusa's, and he could sense more. In his perception, there were still several Dou Zong-level auras hidden in the Black Emperor City.

"The value of Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva is extraordinary, and there are some ancient legends behind it. Since these people know that Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva will appear at the auction, they will naturally not let it go easily. But to be honest, I bet that most of them only have a vague understanding of this thing." Xiao Ling said easily.

No matter what, Xiao Ling was determined to get the Bodhi Body Saliva. His goal was clear, and he was well prepared and would not give in easily.

Such a large auction naturally has a dazzling array of treasures, and with so many powerful people gathered, there will definitely be private competition and scrambles after the auction. Xiao Ling has made up his mind that if there is a treasure he likes, he will never let it go. He has also been eyeing those Dou Zong bodies and souls for a long time.

"Legend? Is there anything extraordinary about the origin of this Bodhi Incarnation Saliva?" Medusa asked with a little surprise. After all, the snake people lived in a remote area, and she didn't know much about such secrets.

Xiao Ling nodded and began to explain to Medusa, "In this world, there is a very mysterious ancient tree called the Bodhi tree. They may grow in remote mountains and old forests, or they may be hidden in other places that are difficult to find."

"After a long period of sedimentation, the roots of this tree will gradually form a sticky substance with magical effects. It is shaped like a heart, so some people call it Bodhicitta. But generally speaking, it takes at least a thousand years for a Bodhi tree to condense Bodhicitta. The Bodhi Body Saliva is a magical substance secreted from the surface of the Bodhi heart."

"If you take the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva, it has the magical effect of transforming a person and improving their special physique." Xiao Ling continued, "And the Bodhi Heart is a rare thing nurtured by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It is said that if taken by a person, it can even replace the heart. In this way, even if the heart is fatally injured, life can be saved. Moreover, the power provided by the Bodhi Heart is far greater than the original heart. Most importantly, it can continuously nourish the soul and make the soul gradually stronger. For a pharmacist, this is absolutely an irresistible temptation."

"And it's not just for alchemists," Xiao Ling added, "For everyone, a strong soul is a well-known benefit."

Medusa couldn't help but be surprised when she heard these magical uses.

This Bodhicitta can actually replace a person’s heart and strengthen the soul!

It is no exaggeration to call it a divine object.

Stroking her chin, Medusa said to herself,

"It's really amazing. So, this Bodhi Heart is really a treasure. If I have the chance to get one, maybe I can cultivate a super genius in no time."

Hearing what Medusa said, Xiao Ling couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Many people do think so, but it is not easy to find the Bodhi Heart or even the whereabouts of the ancient Bodhi tree through the Bodhi Body Saliva. Most people only know about these magical treasures through some scattered rumors." Xiao Ling explained, "But, to be honest, you still underestimate the effect of the Bodhi Heart. If someone who knows the value of it gets the Bodhi Heart, they will not use it to cultivate geniuses, but will only keep it for themselves or their family. Let me tell you this, if someone has the Bodhi Heart, no matter how mediocre his original talent is, he can steadily cultivate to the Dou Sheng realm and become a truly top powerhouse on the Douqi Continent."

The information about this kind of rare treasure has always been kept secret. Without sufficient power and background, it is impossible for ordinary people to learn such detailed information.

If Xiao Ling had not read the original novel in his previous life, he would probably have to rely on Yao Lao to reveal something if he wanted to know about the Bodhi Transformation Saliva.

Think about those burly men in the Black Horn Region. Even if they really got the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva, most of them could only stare blankly, not knowing what to do.

But unfortunately, many people lack self-awareness and flock to the place as soon as they hear any sign of trouble. But it is also a good thing this way, as these people will fall into Xiao Ling's trap and become his prey.

After listening to Xiao Ling's detailed introduction to Bodhicitta, Medusa was shocked beyond words: "I never thought that Bodhicitta would have such an amazing effect."
