Chapter 116 Return to the Imperial Capital
hum!
Half an hour later, Xiao Yuan walked out of the house.

"Uh, Third Brother, you advanced again?"

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yuan's slightly fluctuating breath and said with a bewildered look on his face.

"Well, I guess it's because of Hai Lao's help."

Xiao Yuan smiled and nodded when he heard this.

Hai Bodong's pure ice fighting spirit is a great tonic for Xiao Yuan.

"This training speed!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly. Everyone said that his cultivation speed was fast, but compared to his third brother, what was his speed?
"What about Ebi?"

Then, Xiao Yan changed the subject and asked.

"It will take some time to recover to the level of a four-star Dou Huang. There is no other way. He has been sealed for too long, and he used pills to forcibly break the seal, which consumed some of his Dou Qi. Although the Po Evil Pill is good, for someone like Hai Lao who has been sealed for so many years, the pills are probably not enough."

Xiao Yuan touched his chin and speculated.

"Well, what Xiao Yuan said is not wrong. Among the sixth-grade elixirs, the difficulty of refining this Po Evil Pill is not that high. Although it has the miraculous effect of breaking most seals, after taking it, it can also form a resistance to such seals in the body. If you encounter such seals again in the future, there is a certain chance that you can be exempted from it.

However, the effect of this immunity is to sacrifice a part of the fighting spirit. Whether it is worth it or not depends on personal choice. For Hai Bodong, it may be more important to restore his previous strength. After all, looking at his appearance, he probably dare not appear in front of Queen Medusa again, so naturally there is no need for the probability of immunity from the seal. "

Yao Lao's voice slowly echoed in the hearts of the two, and there was a hint of appreciation in his words.

“No wonder there is so much energy left in Hai Lao’s body. This Po Evil Pill can be ranked as a sixth-grade one. It seems that it is entirely due to its miraculous effect of breaking the seal!”

Xiao Yuan nodded suddenly after hearing this.

"But for him, being able to regain some of his former strength is already a good thing. After all, his Dou Qi has been sealed for a full twenty years. For a Dou Huang strongman, that is not a pleasant feeling!"

Yao Lao's laughter then rang out.

Xiao Yuan nodded in agreement, then changed the subject and said, "Well, by the way, teacher, when I enter Canaan College and advance to Dou Ling in the future, I may be able to try to combine wood energy with fire attribute Dou Qi and start learning to refine medicine."

"Oh, by that time, will you be able to control the flow of fighting spirit in your body?"

Yao Lao asked thoughtfully after hearing this.

"How should I put it? If you want to perfectly control the flow of five kinds of Dou Qi, you must at least reach the Dou Wang realm. But if you only have two kinds, it should be enough after you advance to Dou Ling."

Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"Well, that's fine. I also want to see how far you, who possess five types of fighting spirit, can go in the art of alchemy. The soul power of you two brothers is considered to be extremely strong among those I have seen. What I can teach you is always the most basic things. Alchemists will eventually need to have their own alchemy techniques. It is difficult to reach a higher level if you just imitate others."

Yao Lao smiled with some relief and said.

"Well, I'll have to ask the teacher to give me more tutoring when the time comes."

Xiao Yuan nodded when he heard this and said with a smile.

"By the way, before that, Xiao Yan can teach me some basic knowledge of alchemy, which can also help consolidate your own level."

Then, Xiao Yuan hooked Xiao Yan's shoulders and said with a smile.

"Ah? Brother, I'll teach you?"

Xiao Yan was a little surprised when he heard this. After all, the person in front of him was his own brother, which was a bit embarrassing.

"What? You don't want to?"

Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and his voice became a little stern.

"Uh, no, brother, would it be inappropriate for me to teach you?"

Xiao Yan scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Well, Xiao Yuan's suggestion is not bad. Although you two are brothers, Xiao Yan started learning alchemy earlier than me. Logically speaking, he is indeed Xiao Yuan's senior brother. It doesn't matter how you two brothers address each other.

But Xiao Yan, you should really explain some of the basic knowledge in the early stages to your third brother. It can be considered a test for you!"

Yao Lao finalized the matter with a smile, and then he suddenly said: "Hmm? It seems that Hai Bodong is going to succeed."

As soon as he finished speaking, a small amount of powerful aura broke through the blockade of Yao Lao's soul power and leaked out, and the air suddenly became much colder.

"He is at the peak of the four-star Douhuang realm, and his foundation is quite solid. This Hai Bodong is pretty good."

Yao Lao's voice sounded faintly.

"He has actually reached the peak of the Four-Star Douhuang? I underestimated Hai Lao before!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan smacked his lips in surprise and said in a low voice.

You know, at the Dou Huang level, even a one-star difference is extremely huge, and many Dou Huangs cannot advance to one star in a year. Hai Bodong can reach the peak of the four-star Dou Huang this time, and after that he only needs to practice more, and perhaps within half a year, he will be able to recover to the level of the five-star Dou Huang!

Coupled with the Purple Soul-Restoring Pill that Xiao Yan agreed to, it can increase his strength by two stars. This wave of improvement for Hai Lao is simply an epic enhancement!

But before Hai Bodong could come out, the house began to shake violently.

Xiao Yuan was only slightly stunned, then he realized that the flying monster was probably frightened.

"Really? I had expected this to happen and made special preparations, but I still couldn't avoid it."

Fighting spirit emanated from Xiao Yuan's feet, forming ice crystals that froze his feet to the floor, and he then said with a helpless look on his face.

Xiao Yan, who was standing aside, was thrown out because he was caught off guard. Although he quickly stabilized his body, his face still turned black.

This time, I was really tricked by Haibodong.

Soon, the door was opened, and Hai Bodong walked out of the house carried by the shaking flying monster beast. Seeing the helpless Xiao Yuan and the dark-faced Xiao Yan, he immediately reacted, his old face flushed, and he coughed twice:

"I'm sorry, I was a little surprised by the strength I've recovered this time. I was too excited. I'm really sorry!"

Hai Bodong naturally couldn't put on airs in front of an alchemist who made sixth-grade elixirs, nor would he act noble in front of Xiao Yuan, the successor to his mantle, so he just smiled and apologized.

"Emi, don't just apologize. Look how scared our flying monster is. It's about to fall to the ground."

Xiao Yuan spread his hands and said helplessly, "Ahem, it's indeed my problem. I'm good at this. I'll solve it."

Hai Bodong smiled awkwardly upon hearing this, and then blew a series of whistles.

Then, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan immediately felt that the ground under their feet became stable, and the flying monster also regained its composure.

"Hiss, Hai Lao also knows this?"

Xiao Yan was not going to get angry with a Dou Huang expert over such a small matter, so he immediately changed the subject.

After all, the ability to control magical beasts is an extremely rare skill.

"Haha, my progress in cultivating Dou Qi has been too slow these years, so I learned a lot of miscellaneous things in my spare time while making maps. This can be considered one of them."

Hai Bodong said with a sigh after hearing this.

"Wow, is it easy to learn? I want to learn too!"

Xiao Yuan spoke in unison with Xiao Yan on the side.

"It's not difficult. I'll go back and sort out some of my experiences. You can learn from them. It should be about the same."

Hai Bodong pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then spoke.

"That!"

Xiao Yuan smiled and nodded when he heard this.

The rest of the journey went on without any accidents, so after seven days of flying, we finally arrived at the imperial capital!
Arrived at the destination, the capital of the Gama Empire, the Holy City of Gama!

Standing on the back of the flying beast, Xiao Yuan and the other two looked down at the magnificent city that appeared under the clouds, with different expressions.

Hai Bodong looked towards a rather conspicuous courtyard complex in the imperial capital. That was the headquarters of the Mittel family.

Xiao Yan noticed the Alchemist Headquarters in the Imperial Capital at a glance. The huge building in the shape of an inverted medicine cauldron was indeed very eye-catching.

And Xiao Yuan didn't even look at where the Nalan Mansion was, but instead looked towards the north of the imperial capital. There, a huge and magnificent mountain was crawling like a giant dragon, with a faint spiritual energy rising into the sky.

There is the behemoth of the Jiama Empire, the Yunlan Sect!
I hope the guys from Soul Palace are not ready to take action against the Xiao family!

Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of murderous intent flashed through his mind.

After the strength is improved, we must kill the guy from the Soul Palace as soon as possible, otherwise he will always be a hidden danger for the Xiao family!

After getting off the flying monster, Hai Bodong took a few breaths of fresh air and said with a little disdain: "This flying monster is too slow."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan smiled at each other.

After all, flying to the imperial capital was not difficult for Hai Bodong, but for the two brothers, it was simply a life-threatening task.

too tired!
The speed of the key flying fighting skills is not fast enough.

Xiao Yan simply didn't want to always consume Yao Lao's soul power, and Xiao Yuan had also reminded him of this many times.

Speaking of which, when Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan followed the Xiao family out of the imperial capital, they were still young and had limited energy. At that time, they basically slept and grew up every day, and had no chance to see the prosperity of the imperial capital. Now that they are returning to the imperial capital, they feel quite novel, just like the first time they came.

"Where are we going next?"

Hai Bodong glanced at the two brothers in front of him and asked.

"I plan to go to the auction house. As I said before, I will go to see Sister Yafei when I come to the imperial capital."

Xiao Yuan smiled.

"Well, how about Third Brother help me collect some herbs for Hai Lao? You go to the auction house to find Sister Yafei and collect some herbs there. I'll go directly to the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild to look for herbs for the Soul-Restoring Purple Pill. I just signed up for the Alchemist Competition, so we can split up and save some time. After I finish here, I'll go to the auction house to find you."

Xiao Yan suggested with a smile.

"Well, that's good. This does save more time."

Xiao Yuan nodded in agreement, then smiled and said, "Hai Lao? How about coming with me? It's a good opportunity to go back to the Mittel family and take a look?"

Hearing this, Hai Bodong was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay!"

After discussing the action plan, the three of them split into two groups. Although Hai Bodong had not returned for many years, he was still familiar with the location of the Mitel family's industries. He soon brought Xiao Yuan to the headquarters of the Mitel family's auction house.

Looking at the huge building and the special logo in front of him, Xiao Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "It is worthy of being the headquarters of the Mittel family. This scale is far beyond the comparison of the branch in Wutan City."

"Of course. The Mittel family has a long history and profound heritage. The Mo family, for example, although they are considered a tyrant in Yancheng by virtue of the reputation of the Yunlan Sect, is nothing more than an upstart compared to the Mittel family!"

Perhaps because he had basically recovered his former strength, Hai Bodong's words were obviously tinged with arrogance.

"Haha, let's go. Hai Lao can take a look at how much the Mitel headquarters auction house has changed after so many years of development."

Xiao Yuan said this with a smile, then he took a step forward and walked into the auction hall first.

Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong stood there for a moment with a complicated expression, then quickly followed Xiao Yuan's footsteps.

Entering the auction hall, soft light poured down, and the noisy sounds from the outside world seemed to be isolated at this moment. The short distance of a few meters seemed like two worlds apart.

The hall is magnificent, with a constant stream of guests coming and going and a dazzling array of goods that are too numerous to take in.

Fully armed figures were scattered throughout the hall, with the Mitre family emblem on their chests. Obviously, they were the direct forces of the Mitre family.

"This is just a peripheral sales counter, and the items sold here are not too precious... At the Mittel Family headquarters, the auction house is like the level of martial arts, divided into four levels: heaven, earth, black and yellow. However, the heavenly level auction house is sometimes only opened once every one or two years, and once it is opened, it must be a heavyweight!

The Earth-level auction house is rarely open, the Mysterious-level is more common, and the Yellow-level is open all day long."

Hai Bodong introduced it like he knew all of it by heart.

Then, he changed the subject: "However, you and I will not be able to use the things in the yellow-level auction house. If you want to enter the third-level auction house of Tiandixuan, you need to be recognized for your worth. Oh, by the way, you have a purple gold card, so you can skip this step."

In response to Hai Bodong's words, Xiao Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Old Hai, we are not strangers, think..."

Halfway through his words, Xiao Yuan suddenly caught a glimpse of a commotion in the corner of the hall, and a graceful figure in bright red slowly walked down the stairs.
