As their thoughts flowed, Cao Ying and Dan Chen's gazes involuntarily turned to Xiao Ling, with a different kind of light flashing in their eyes.
Cao Ying's eyes were full of admiration. She felt how lucky and happy she was to be able to follow such a trustworthy and reliable man.
Cao Ying had already made up her mind. She secretly resolved that after this alchemy meeting was over, she and Xiao Ling would complete what they had failed to do before.
After experiencing all the twists and turns before, she has let it go and will never leave any regrets for herself.
Although Dan Chen remained as reserved as usual, her eyes revealed admiration and gratitude that were hard to conceal when she looked at Xiao Ling.
Deep in her eyes, there was a subtle emotion that even she herself was not aware of, like a drizzle in spring, quietly nourishing the heart of this young girl in her prime.
Xiao Ling did not notice the subtle changes in the two people at this time. At this moment, he was accompanying Zi Yan to pack up the medicinal materials that filled the entire square.
Since I am about to leave this place, I naturally cannot miss the good things here.
After Xiao Ling had packed up all the medicinal herbs on the square, all the affairs of everyone in this Dan World finally came to a successful conclusion.
Without further delay, the crowd walked out of the majestic stone hall together, their footsteps echoing in the empty hall.
Walking out of the hall, Cao Ying's eyes swept over Zi Yan in Xiao Ling's arms and Xiong Zhan who was following closely behind them. She opened her red lips and said softly,
"If you two plan to leave this Dan Realm, I can make some concessions to the people in Dan Tower. With my status as a guarantee, I believe there should be no obstacles in arranging for you to leave safely."
Dan Chen nodded slightly at the side. She had also heard of the Demon Beast Overlord in the Wanyao Mountains and knew that it had lived in the depths of this Dan Realm for many years.
This time they were able to proceed smoothly, thanks to the secret help of this Warcraft Overlord. If he intends to leave this Dan Realm, they should naturally repay this favor and provide necessary help.
With their status in Danta, it was not difficult to make this happen. Moreover, being able to establish contact with such a powerful rank eight monster was undoubtedly a good thing for Danta.
"Don't worry about these matters, we have already made proper arrangements." Xiao Ling smiled and waved his hand lightly, saying casually, "However, please keep everything that happened here a secret between the two of you, and don't mention it to anyone else, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble..."
Since Xiao Ling had already expressed his opinion, Cao Ying and Dan Chen exchanged glances with each other, then nodded gently without saying anything else. Since they already had their own plans, they obviously didn't need to interfere any more.
"We should not stay here for long, let's set off immediately." Xiao Ling looked up at the sky, his eyes gently following the clouds, then he retracted his gaze and spoke.
Before the journey to Danjie began, Rayquaza had already followed closely by Xun'er's side.
Otherwise, Xiao Ling could have had a strong mount to speed up his journey.
But in the current situation, I can only rely on myself to make my way.
"Flying alone is really troublesome..." As if he had noticed what Xiao Ling was thinking, Xiong Zhan smiled and suddenly blew a short and sharp whistle.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of clear bird calls echoed in the Wanyao Mountains, and the sound penetrated the treetops and resounded throughout the valley.
Not long after, a huge figure flapped its wings and flew high from the top of a distant mountain. Its pair of broad wings sparkled brightly in the sun. Finally, it hovered gracefully on the top of the mountain, instantly attracting the attention of several people.
"Let's go. This Xuanniao beast has extraordinary speed, and it is extremely convenient to ride it..." Xiong Zhan waved to Xiao Le. Before he finished speaking, his feet had already stepped heavily on the ground. With a sway of his body, he lightly jumped onto the broad back of the Xuanniao beast.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling and the other three naturally had no intention of refusing. With such a mount to travel by, who would be willing to walk hard? They all jumped up and followed closely, landing on the back of the black bird beast one by one.
"Chi!" A sharp cry pierced the sky, and the huge black bird beast raised its head to the sky and let out a loud cry.
Then, it spread its huge wings and flapped them violently, instantly stirring up a gust of wind. It carried the people on its back and flew quickly towards the exit of the northern Dan Realm like a flash of lightning across the sky...
……
The exit of the Dan Realm is located in the far north, far away from the Wanyao Mountains. Fortunately, the black bird beast summoned by Xiong Zhan has amazing speed.
With its swift flight, according to this speed, they will be able to reach the northern exit within a day.
Along the way, Xiao Ling really didn't see a few alchemists rushing towards the exit of the Dan Realm. You know, there is still a long time before the Dan Realm assessment is declared over.
After all, not all alchemists can find the herbs necessary for their assessment in such a short time like Xiao Ling and his friends.
On the way to the exit of the Dan Realm, Xiao Ling and others also met the group of people who had been rescued by Xiao Ling before, who were rushing towards the exit of the Dan Realm.
However, their speed of movement naturally could not be compared with the speed of the Xuanniao beasts ridden by Xiao Ling and his companions.
Because of this, even though Xiao Ling and his companions set out later, they were able to reach the exit of the Dan Realm more quickly by relying on the amazing speed of the Xuanniao beast.
After seeing this group of people, Xiao Ling simply greeted them. Although this courtesy was simple, it was enough to serve as an explanation.
In this way, we can avoid causing any unnecessary trouble, and there is no need to let these people spread the news indiscriminately and make others worry as previously worried and speculated.
When these people saw that Xiao Ling and his group were safe and sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially Dan Xuan from the Dan family. His face, which had originally looked haggard due to worrying about the safety of his sister, seemed to regain his vitality in an instant after confirming that his sister was safe. The worry on his face faded away, and was replaced by a trace of relief that was difficult to conceal.
And in Danxuan's look towards Xiao Ling, besides the admiration for Xiao Ling's superb alchemy skills and gratitude for his previous assistance, there was also a hint of puzzling satisfaction.
This strange look made Xiao Ling feel a little amused and confused, and a sense of confusion arose in his heart.
Could it be that Danxuan is planning to give it to his sister?
Since the size of this black bird was limited, Xiao Ling naturally had no plan to bring these people along. After a few brief greetings, he said goodbye to the group.
The black bird spread its wings, and its figure immediately turned into a stream of light, rushing straight towards the exit of the Dan Realm, leaving behind a crowd of astonished and envious glances.
……
In the blink of an eye, nearly a day passed quietly in the hurried journey. When the dawn of the next day gradually illuminated the earth, a magnificent square made of white huge rocks finally appeared on the distant horizon.
The square was vast and silent. Apart from Xiao Ling and his group, there seemed to be no other examinees. The empty space looked particularly peaceful under the morning light.
"Jiji~~"
The Xuanniao beast raised its head towards the sky and let out a long, sharp cry. Then, it flapped its huge wings violently, stirring up a gust of wind. Its figure quickly crossed the sky like a flash of lightning and rushed towards the square made up of huge white rocks.
There was no one on the square at the moment, so the Xuanniao beast had plenty of space to land without any worries.
It gracefully adjusted the angle of its wings, slowly descended, and finally landed lightly on the ground. Dust was gently raised as its claws touched the ground, and then fell quietly.
As the Xuanniao's posture gradually stabilized in the air, Xiao Ling and his group jumped off its broad back one after another. Their figures drew elegant arcs in the air and finally landed lightly on the stone ground of the square.
Xiao Ling steadily caught Zi Yan who was flying towards him, and then his eyes slowly swept across the entire audience.
In this empty square, his sight unexpectedly fell on a figure, an old man in simple robes.
From the aura emanating from his body, one could clearly tell that he possessed the strength of a Seven-Star Dou Zong.
But Xiao Ling only needed to sense it to realize that this old man was not as simple as he seemed.
This person's cultivation has reached the Dou Zun realm, and his soul power is also quite strong, even slightly better than Cao Ying and Dan Chen. He is obviously an experienced eighth-grade alchemist.
"This must be the old man Qinghua," Xiao Ling thought to himself, "No wonder he was able to complete this assessment task so quickly. I wonder if he paid for it out of his own pocket or really found the necessary herbs."
There is a deep connection between this old man Qinghua and Yao Chen.
I remember that year, the news of the appearance of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire spread throughout Zhongzhou like thunder. Elder Qinghua was naturally no exception and joined the fierce competition for the Bone Spirit Cold Fire.
In that battle, he and Yao Chen inevitably came into conflict, and there was a lot of friction between the two sides.
At that time, Yao Chen and Feng Xian were still only Dou Wang-level warriors, while Old Man Qinghua had already reached Dou Zong-level.
Some frictions and collisions undoubtedly posed a great threat to the two of them, and even caused fatal blows several times.
However, after many hardships, Yao Chen finally succeeded in subduing the Bone Spirit Cold Fire with the help of Han Shanshan who risked her life, and the old man Qinghua finally returned empty-handed.
This process took eight years, and the strength of Yao Chen and Feng Xian also increased rapidly during these eight years, and finally reached the point where they were not afraid of old man Qinghua.
Xiao Ling didn't know how the two sides resolved their previous grievances. If it were him, facing such a feud, he would definitely fight back and retaliate against the other party without hesitation.
If he happened to meet old man Qinghua in this alchemy world, Xiao Ling might secretly trip up and attack the old man Qinghua in order to vent Yao Chen's anger.
But now that he had come here, he felt that there was no need for him to do so.
After all, when the dust settles on the Alchemy Competition and he successfully subdues the Three Thousand Flames, old man Qinghua's attempt to subdue a strange fire will also be shattered.
By then, all his efforts will be in vain.
After that, through the continuous contacts between the two sides, the initial grievances were resolved and a reconciliation was reached. The past disputes disappeared.
“Tsk tsk, the temptation of the Three Thousand Flames is indeed huge. For it, even the older generation of alchemists are willing to lower their status, but in the end, they can only return empty-handed…”
Xiao Ling sighed softly in his heart and couldn't help but admire it. This was the charm of the Alchemy Conference.
In this arena where many heroes compete with each other, it is very difficult to stand out if you don’t have real strength.
However, he could only apologize in advance to the other contestants of this year's Dan Conference.
It was because no matter how hard they tried, how many days and nights they spent studying the method of refining medicine, and how many precious resources they invested in improving their own strength, in this alchemy conference, in the end, they could only become supporting roles in Xiao Ling's glorious story...
……
The Dan Realm has not yet been opened, so there are no elders sent by Danta to lead everyone out in this square.
However, there are several deacons dressed in Danta costumes on duty here to avoid accidents and to convey information to the outside world as soon as possible.
Xiao Ling naturally had no intention of waiting here for the Dan Realm to open. Therefore, he ordered Cao Ying and Dan Chen to negotiate with the deacons on duty, informing them that an unexpected situation had occurred in the Dan Realm and that they needed to report to the Dan Tower's top management immediately, so they had to leave the Dan Realm in advance.
Cao Ying and Dan Chen not only have the honorable status of eighth-grade alchemists, but are also core figures in Danta. Cao Ying is also the direct disciple of Xuan Kongzi, one of the three giants of Danta, and they all have backgrounds in the five major families.
Therefore, the guards on duty did not dare to slack off at all, and immediately activated a special communication method to urgently inform the senior Danta officials stationed outside.
Soon, the space in the center of the square began to distort slightly, and an old man in a Danta robe walked out of the distorted space.
The old man held a cane in his hand, and the skin on his face was wrinkled like dried orange peel.
On his chest, he wore a badge of Danta, which emitted a dazzling purple-gold light, making him look particularly noble.
Chapter 455 Leaving the Dan Realm
"With this attire, he should be one of the eight elders of Danta."
When Xiao Ling saw this scene, his eyebrows raised slightly and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"This is Elder Xu. He has been one of the eight elders of Danta for decades. He is a well-known and established eighth-grade alchemist." Hearing Xiao Ling's whisper, Cao Ying beside him opened her red lips and gently explained his doubts to him.
Xiao Ling just nodded slightly and didn't take it seriously. This old man didn't have much to do with him.
Elder Xu's figure gradually appeared, and his eyes immediately swept in the direction of Xiao Ling and others. It was obvious that he had known about this urgent discussion in advance.
Seeing this, Cao Ying and Dan Chen both bowed slightly to pay respect to the elder. Xiao Ling seemed calm and just nodded politely.
As for Xiong Zhan and Zi Yan, they seemed to have not noticed and ignored the existence of this elder, and were just doing their own things.
Elder Xu did not show any concern about the different reactions of the few people. He just smiled gently in their direction and nodded slightly in greeting.
Then, his figure swayed slightly, as if crossing an invisible boundary, and in a flash, he appeared not far in front of the crowd.
"I have learned from the steward that there is something important to discuss here. So, there is no need to be polite with you. Since there is an urgent matter to report to President Xuankong, please come with me."
As soon as Elder Xu approached the crowd, he spoke directly without any hesitation.
"Haha, it's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. It's quite rare to hear about unexpected things not long after the opening of the Dan Realm. Could you please briefly describe it so that I can have a general idea?" Elder Xu smiled heartily and waved his hand gently, as if he regarded all this as insignificant. "Of course, if it is inconvenient to say it clearly, I will not force it."
