People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

After hearing this, Ye Chong couldn't help but sigh and nodded. With the Ye family now in a state of continuous decline, many of their previous relationships have indeed been severed.

Fortunately, not everyone is as ungrateful as the Cao family. It is precisely because of these existing relationships that the Ye family can barely keep this reputation and the only remaining glimmer of hope after failing two consecutive assessments.

Xiao Ling, who was standing aside, looked up at the sky, and then said softly: "It's almost time, Elder Ye Zhong, let's go..."

Hearing Xiao Ling's voice, Ye Zhong smiled and nodded. Without staying any longer, he turned around and walked quickly towards a square slightly north of Yecheng.

Within Ye City, there was a spatial wormhole, the same one Xiao Ling had used before. However, it wasn't very large, and it couldn't reach Shengdan City directly. Instead, it required several route changes along the way before finally reaching the destination...

Chapter 422 Xun'er, Arrives at Shengdan City

Apart from Xiao Ling, Qing Lin, Zi Yan and Medusa, only Xin Lan and Ye Chong from the Ye family were accompanying them on this trip.

After all, in this kind of situation, it is useless to have too many people, it is better to stay in Yecheng and guard the base...

Several people followed Ye Zhong through the city, and ten minutes later, they appeared at the North Square. Although the Ye family is now in decline, the tiger is thin, but its power is still there.

At least in Ye City, there is no big force that can challenge the status of the Ye family. Therefore, this rather coveted space wormhole is still under the control of the Ye family.

Obviously, Ye Zhong had already given instructions for going through the space wormhole. Therefore, when Xiao Ling and the others entered the square, it was empty.

Xiao Ling and his group stepped onto the stone platform, and the slowly rotating space wormhole appeared in everyone's sight. This space wormhole in Ye City looked quite majestic.

However, judging from the chaotic spatial fluctuations that were slowly emanating from the space, this wormhole had not been maintained for many years. Even when Xiao Ling and his companions used it before, they felt that the efficiency of this wormhole was not as stable as other places...

"Alas, when my Ye family was at its peak, there were two Dou Zun masters who volunteered to maintain the wormhole. But with the decline of our family, our Ye family can no longer hire masters of this level. I am sorry to embarrass you..." Looking at the space wormhole, Ye Zhong said with a wry smile.

Amid Ye Zhong's bitter smile and Xiao Ling and the others' silence, Zi Yan curled her lips in contempt, with a hint of disdain in her voice: "This is just a small matter, maintaining a space wormhole, it's just a piece of cake for me. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll help you solve it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zi Yan quietly let go of the hand she was holding with Xiao Ling, and under the gaze of everyone, she walked forward slowly, slowly walking towards the deep space wormhole.

In Zi Yan's beautiful eyes like purple gemstones, the purple halo appeared and disappeared, as if it contained a mysterious power. When she gently stretched out her palm and touched the space wormhole, the silver space wave danced in her palm, just like a smart and docile elf, which seemed extremely dreamy and mysterious.

Zi Yan's movements were swift and concise. As she began to mobilize the power of space, the rotation of the space wormhole gradually became orderly, and the originally chaotic space fluctuations were quickly calmed down under the soothing effect of this power.

In less than two minutes, this space channel underwent earth-shaking changes, as if it had undergone a rebirth.

“This, this is…” Ye Zhong looked at the brand new space wormhole in front of him in surprise. It no longer had any sense of disorder, but was deep and quiet, like a tranquil lake, waiting for travelers to explore.

Xiao Ling and the others did not say anything when they saw this scene. After all, Zi Yan's true form was the ancient Taixu dragon, and she had an extraordinary grasp of the power of space. Maintaining a mere space wormhole was nothing more than a piece of cake for her.

Moreover, after Zi Yan's maintenance, the quality of this space wormhole must be far better than before. Even when the space wormhole was first opened, it did not have such an effect.

"Ms. Zi Yan, your abilities are truly astonishing." Ye Zhong praised sincerely, his eyes flashing with deep respect for Zi Yan.

Although this was just a casual move by Zi Yan, it was a great favor to the Ye family. With Zi Yan's help this time, the Ye family would not need to hire others to maintain the space wormhole for a long time, which could save the Ye family a lot of expenses in this regard.

"Oh, it was just a casual thing for me, don't take it so seriously." Zi Yan's tone was playful, and she waved her hand lightly, as if the feat just now was just a trivial matter.

She nodded slightly with pride, then lightly returned to Xiao Ling and took Xiao Ling's hand again.

Xiao Ling smiled at Zi Yan's actions and nodded slightly to show his approval. Then he turned to Ye Zhong and said with a hint of urgency: "Elder Ye Zhong, there is no time to lose. Let's set off quickly."

Ye Zhong came back to his senses from the shock. He nodded, realizing the urgency of time: "Yes, Master Xiao Ling is right. We shouldn't stay here too long."

Then he took out a complicated-looking black boat from his ring, rubbed it with his palm, and then stepped lightly, walking straight into the slowly rotating black wormhole. Afterwards, Xiao Ling and others followed closely.

In the silent space channel, Xiao Ling and others flashed out. Ye Chong threw the black boat and it swelled up in the wind, turning into a huge ship.

This spaceship is the most luxurious one Xiao Ling has seen since he entered Zhongzhou. It is not much different from the one Xiao Ling used before. It seems that Ye Chong has really put a lot of thought into it.

Several people flew onto the giant ship. Ye Zhong touched a spot on the bow with ease, and a circle of energy shield quickly extended out, surrounding the hull.

Immediately, the ship shook and accelerated suddenly. With a whoosh, it flew towards the endless space wormhole...

"Yecheng doesn't have a space passage directly to Shengdan City, so we can only go to a city called Qingling City first, and then go through the space wormhole there to reach Shengdan City..."

Ye Zhong turned around and said to Xiao Ling and the others on the boat with a smile, "It takes three days to get from here to Qingling City, and it takes about four days to get from Qingling City to Shengdan City. So I'm afraid it will take seven or eight days for us to reach Shengdan City."

"During this time, you can all rest in the spaceship. There are separate rooms inside. As for the control of the spaceship, leave it to Xin Lan and me..."

Xiao Ling and the others did not raise any objections to Ye Zhong's suggestion. After a brief exchange, they each entered the cabin and found a room suitable for them to settle down.

Traveling in the space channel was indeed a boring and silent journey. But for Xiao Ling and others who were used to practicing alone, such an environment did not cause them too much discomfort.

Several people found their own space, immersed in practice or meditation, and occasionally communicated to pass the time.

As time passed, the few days of space travel passed quickly, and the group arrived at their destination, Qingling City, safely.

In Qingling City, they just stopped for a while and took the necessary rest. Afterwards, without wasting any time, they immediately rushed to the space channel of Qingling City and prepared to go directly to Shengdan City.

During their brief stay in Qingling City, Xiao Ling and his party finally experienced the incredible appeal of the Alchemy Conference. The streets were bustling with people, and alchemists in various costumes shuttled through, forming a unique landscape.

Even Xiao Ling, who had traveled far and wide and had a broad vision, had to admit that only the number of alchemists in Shengdan City, where he had been, could be compared with the grand occasion here.

"This is just a city in the Dan Domain, and it is already so spectacular at this time." Xiao Ling marveled in his heart. He imagined how shocking the scene would be when all the alchemists gathered in Shengdan City.

Imagining the spectacular scene of thousands of fires rising, thousands of tripods falling to the ground, and thousands of pills coming into being in his mind, even Xiao Ling, who was determined to win the championship of this alchemy competition, couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart.

For any alchemist, that kind of scene is a once-in-a-lifetime event. At this moment, Xiao Ling's blood seemed to boil, and he felt an unprecedented excitement and anticipation.

"If I could witness such a grand spectacle in my life, I would have no regrets." Xiao Ling murmured to himself, his eyes flashing with determination, his heart filled with longing for the upcoming trip to Shengdan City...

The Alchemy Conference is the most grand conference in the alchemy world. Countless alchemists have spent their entire lives practicing, and their ultimate goal is to stand out at the Alchemy Conference. To this end, they have put in countless efforts and sweat.

Participating in the Alchemy Conference will give you the qualification to compete with the heroes of the continent! This is a recognition of strength. Ten thousand tripods rise together, who can be the most respected?

With their blood boiling, Xiao Ling and his group finally followed the long stream of people and entered the dark space wormhole...

……

Traveling through the space wormhole should have been dead silent and monotonous, but this time the situation was quite different. In the spacious space channel, spaceships passed by like meteors, their speed was extremely fast, leaving behind a series of light and roar.

These ships were either big or small, some were magnificent, some were simple, but without exception they were all hurrying along. The alchemists on board were either chatting excitedly or nervously preparing for the upcoming alchemy meeting.

In this noisy trend, the name of Shengdan City is like a magnet, attracting alchemists from all directions.

The four-day journey was a fleeting moment for Xiao Ling and his companions, accustomed to long journeys. However, the bustling surroundings made the journey less tedious. Amidst the bustle, the venue for the Alchemy Conference, Shengdan City, drew ever closer.

After four days of traveling, a circle of silver light appeared faintly in the distance of the wormhole. That silver light emitted astonishing spatial fluctuations, as if announcing the approach of the destination...

As they gradually approached the silver halo of the exit, the noise that had originally come from countless space ships suddenly and eerily quieted down.

Figures dressed in alchemist robes came out from the spaceship one after another. Their eyes were full of enthusiasm as they stared at the silver halo...

Shengdan City, this name occupies a supreme position in the hearts of all alchemists. It is the holy land of the alchemy world and the place that all alchemists dream of...

Xiao Ling and his companions also felt the change in atmosphere. Standing at the bow of the spaceship, their eyes were also attracted by the silver halo in the distance.

Suddenly, Xiao Ling seemed to have sensed something and looked at the Lingxi pendant on his chest. At this moment, the black fish jade pendant was emitting a faint halo, which looked quite mysterious...

Xiao Ling felt the throbbing coming from the jade pendant, and his gaze unconsciously turned towards the direction of the Eastern Region, gazing into the distance.

Although what Xiao Ling saw with his naked eyes was still the bottomless darkness and depth of the space wormhole, his perception seemed to transcend the scene before his eyes, and his gaze seemed to have penetrating power.

It passed through numerous spatial barriers, spanned countless distances, and finally stopped at the top of a mountain.

At the top of the mountain, the figure of a woman in green stood out.

She is slender and graceful, with a temperament like a lotus. Her figure appears ethereal and mysterious in the swirling clouds, appearing and disappearing, as if she could be blown away by the wind at any time.

The existence of the woman in green is like a moving landscape painting, quiet and profound, which makes people yearn for it.

On the top of that distant mountain, the girl in green seemed to sense Xiao Ling's gaze, or perhaps her heart was also beating. She slowly turned around, her eyes piercing through the heavy fog, looking in the direction of Danyu.

At that moment, her eyes met with Xiao Ling's, and each other's figure appeared in their eye masks...

The face of the girl in green is elegant and otherworldly, her beauty is not tainted by the slightest worldliness, as if she is a fairy walking out of a painting.

When she and Xiao Ling looked at each other, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile. The whole world seemed to be intoxicated at this moment, and the colors between heaven and earth were eclipsed.

Although there was an immeasurable distance between Xiao Ling and the girl in green, this touching scene passed through the barrier of space and was deeply imprinted in Xiao Ling's mind...

"Brother Xiao Ling..."

In this silent space wormhole, a soft and ethereal female voice suddenly sounded in Xiao Ling's ears. The voice seemed to come from the distant sky, and seemed to sound directly in the depths of his soul.

The voice was full of intimacy and dependence, which made Xiao Ling's heartstrings tremble slightly.

As the voice fell, the scene in front of Xiao Ling began to become blurred. The figure of the girl in green and the mountain gradually began to slowly dissipate like bubbles in a dream.

That beautiful smile, that elegant and beautiful face, were like smoke blown away by the wind, fading from his sight bit by bit.

"Xun'er..."

Xiao Ling also muttered to himself unconsciously. As the words fell, Xiao Ling's vision returned to the dark and deep space passage.

"What's wrong, Xiao Ling? I didn't see Xun'er either. Why did you suddenly call her name?" At this time, Zi Yan tugged at the corner of Xiao Ling's clothes, pinched Xiao Ling's palm, retracted her gaze around, and asked curiously.

Xiao Ling slowly pulled himself out of his daze and met Zi Yan's inquiring eyes. The corners of his lips lifted slightly, outlining a gentle smile. "Nothing, Zi Yan, I was just a little distracted just now, and I thought of Xun'er."

"That's true. Given your relationship with Xun'er, if she were here, she would definitely stay with you all the time." Zi Yan nodded and continued,

"It's been quite a while since I last saw Xun'er. When I was at Canaan College, I took a lot of her medicinal herbs. Now that I'm rich, I'll have to prepare some gifts for Xun'er next time I see her to thank her."

Xiao Ling rubbed Zi Yan's little head and said with some amusement: "That girl is much more arrogant than you, but she doesn't need your little tricks..."

……

Spaceships flashed past like shooting stars across the dark sky, and then swarmed into the huge silver light circle like fish entering the sea...

The black spaceship where Xiao Ling and others were also following the flow, braving the extremely violent space fluctuations, quickly swept into the light circle, and then disappeared.

When breaking into the silver halo, the violent space fluctuations caused the entire spaceship to shake violently.

However, this turbulence only lasted for less than ten seconds before slowly dissipating. The silver light that filled the sight of Xiao Ling and the others also became weaker and weaker.

After a while, a silver light suddenly burst out. The dazzling light made Xiao Ling and others squint their eyes slightly out of habit...

While Xiao Ling and the others closed their eyes, suddenly a gentle breeze blew towards them. The gentle touch gradually relaxed the group's hearts, which were tense due to the rush on the journey.

Slowly opening his eyes, a huge red square came into view. Xiao Ling knew that this was the huge Shengdan City, one of the eight spatial points in the outer domain.

Xiao Ling had been to this place before, but perhaps because the alchemy meeting was approaching, the space was particularly crowded and noisy at this moment.

The alchemists who came to participate in the competition, or the high-ranking officials and strong men who came to watch the competition, all came in an endless stream. Compared with the time when Xiao Ling came two years ago, it was many times more lively...

"Elder Ye Zhong, although this is not my first time in Shengdan City, I am not very familiar with this place. I will leave the next matters to you." Xiao Ling retracted his gaze and looked at Ye Zhong and said.

"Master Xiao Ling, I understand. Next, we will go to my Ye family's villa in Shengdan City to rest. I will arrange the test and the registration for the Alchemy Conference later and will not let Master Xiao Ling worry about them." Ye Chong nodded slightly in response.

Xiao Ling and his companions arrived at Shengdan City a little late this time, almost at the exact time of the internal assessment. The day after they arrived at Shengdan City was the day when the internal assessment started.

After bringing Xiao Ling and the others to the Ye family's courtyard in Shengdan City, Ye Chong left alone to handle some procedures required for the assessment.
