Chapter 101 Arriving at the Imperial Capital

Chapter 101 Arriving at the Imperial Capital
As the news of Xiao Ling's return to the Jia Ma Empire gradually spread, all the families, big and small, in the imperial capital also knew about it.

Since Xiao Ling did not hide his figure when he appeared at the Ghost Pass that day, many ordinary people who had never heard of Xiao Ling before also had a preliminary understanding of this young man who was known as "the first genius of the Gama Empire in a thousand years."

Some time after Xiao Ling returned to the Jiama Empire, more than ten years ago, the Xiao family had been forced to move out of the imperial capital because the old patriarch Xiao Lin was injured and died, and the family's strength declined sharply. However, due to Xiao Ling's strong rise, the Xiao family returned to the Jiama imperial capital.

And because Xiao Ling is also an honorable sixth-rank alchemist, the Xiao family's status is showing a tendency to surpass its former peak.

And with the return of Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, one of the "Top Ten Powerful Men of the Jia Ma Empire" of the previous generation, a few days ago, and his competition with the royal guardian Jia Xingtian, the imperial capital, which had been quiet for a long time, became lively again.

Although no one knows the outcome of this Douhuang battle, because of Hai Bodong's return, the Mitel family has one more Douhuang fighter.

The Mittel family, which was originally the weakest among the three major families in the imperial capital, suddenly became the top force in the Gama Empire, second only to the royal family and the Yunlan Sect.

Moreover, some people have discovered that Hai Bodong, the supreme elder of the Miter family, has often flirted with the Xiao family, which had just moved back to the imperial capital, since returning to the imperial capital.

Not only did he provide a lot of help to the Xiao family who had just returned to the imperial capital, allowing them to successfully regain their foothold in the imperial capital, but he also publicly stated in front of everyone that the Mittel family was the Xiao family's most steadfast ally.

Seeing that Hai Bodong was so close to the Xiao family, the leaders of the major forces began to speculate, thinking back to the time when Xiao Ling returned to the Jia Ma Empire, Hai Bodong returned to the Jia Ma Empire. It was absolutely impossible to believe that these two people had no relationship at all.

The Xiao family, which was originally unfamiliar with the place, had the full support of the Mitre family led by Hai Bodong, and was also an old friend of the Nalan family. Even though the rumored genius Xiao Ling did not return to the Xiao family, they still had a place in the Jiama Imperial Capital and became one of the top forces there.

……

The sky is like a blue canvas, dotted with white clouds and sunshine, reflecting endless breadth and freedom.

A slender black shadow stood out among the layers of white clouds. It was breaking through the clouds in front of it at a very fast speed, leaving behind a bright blue trail of clouds.

Xiao Ling stood above Rayquaza's head. The oncoming air current could not affect his figure at all. His long blue-silver hair was blown by the wind, sparkling in the sunlight.

Beside Xiao Ling, Qing Lin brushed her hair, which was a little messy due to the wind, behind her ears and looked forward. A vague city came into her sight.

"Young Master, is the city in front of us the capital of the Gama Empire?" Qing Lin looked sideways at Xiao Ling in front of him, his face full of curiosity.

"Yes, that's the imperial capital. Now my family should have moved here as well." Nodding lightly, Xiao Ling looked at the city that appeared in his sight, feeling a little emotional.

After traveling through the Douqi Continent for so many years, this was Xiao Ling's first visit to the capital of the Jiama Empire. He was about to return to his family, and his emotions unconsciously fluctuated.

Zi Yan and Xiao Yixian, who were behind them, heard the conversation between the two and came over, looking forward.

Although Xiao Yixian and Qinglin were born in the Jiama Empire, they had only heard of the imperial capital. Zi Yan had lived in the Monster Mountain Range since she could remember, and later followed the great elder Su Qian into the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy. She was also quite curious about a big city like the Jiama Imperial Capital.

As Rayquaza flew quickly, the looming city gradually became clearer in everyone's sight.

The majesty of the city wall forms a sharp contrast with the surrounding natural scenery, further highlighting its unique charm and historical value.

The streets are crowded with people, as if the pulse of the city is beating. Crowds of people are hurriedly flowing through the streets and alleys, like a torrent of human traffic.

As the imperial capital of the Gama Empire, it gathers all the major forces of the Gama Empire. After countless years of accumulation, the exquisite and prosperous buildings also reveal an ancient and vicissitudes of life atmosphere.

Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin had never seen such a scene before and were both amazed by it. Even Zi Yan and Xiao Ling, who had lived in Canaan College, were impressed by the prosperity of this holy city.

At this moment, Zi Yan sniffed her nose and pointed forward, her face showing excitement that could not be concealed, "Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, in the city ahead, I sensed the scent of many precious medicinal herbs. Let's go grab those herbs together later, and I'll give you half of them!"

After rubbing Zi Yan's head, Xiao Ling looked at her and said helplessly, "Zi Yan, those medicinal herbs are treasures of other forces. They are all taken by someone else. This is not the Black Horn Region. You can't just go up and fight for something that has been given to you."

When she lived in Canaan College, Zi Yan would occasionally go to the Black Horn Region, and whenever she saw something that belonged to someone else, she would forcibly take it away. Relying on Zi Yan's unique spatial talent and the fact that her activity range was not far from Canaan College, there were no powerful people there that could threaten Zi Yan, which allowed Zi Yan to often harvest some rare medicinal materials.

Since the people in the Black Horn Region were all extremely vicious, Su Qian did not stop Zi Yan from doing this. However, now that they were in the Jia Ma Empire, these people did not provoke Xiao Ling, and it was not appropriate to snatch the medicinal materials directly from him. If this matter was known to others, I don't know how others would talk about me.

Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Zi Yan's face instantly fell. She could sense many precious medicinal herbs, but she couldn't take them away, which made Zi Yan very uncomfortable. "It's useless to keep those medicinal herbs in their warehouse. It's better for them to eat them all and let me grow up quickly."

Seeing Zi Yan's sad look, Xiao Ling laughed, "It's just some medicinal herbs. When I return to the Xiao family, many people will definitely give them to us."

"Really? But why would they take the initiative to deliver the herbs to our door?" Zi Yan's eyes lit up and she asked curiously.

"Xiao Ling is a sixth-rank alchemist. Unlike Gu He, the guest elder of Yunlan Sect, he doesn't already have a position. When he first comes to the imperial capital, the top leaders of those forces will definitely want to build a good relationship with him. The most suitable gift for an alchemist is naturally precious medicinal materials. If you want to ask Xiao Ling to refine pills, you naturally have to prepare enough medicinal materials and a reward that matches Xiao Ling's status. It's not a small amount when you calculate it all up." The little medical fairy behind him explained to Zi Yan.

After a few days of getting along, Xiao Yixian became familiar with Xiao Ling and the other two. Xiao Ling, based on his experiences in the Black Horn Region and his understanding of the original work, told Xiao Yixian some knowledge that she had never heard of before. During these days of study, Xiao Yixian also gained a lot of understanding of the situation outside Qingshan Town.

After listening to Xiao Yixian's explanation, Zi Yan's eyes became brighter and brighter. She had imagined herself lying in a pile of medicinal herbs, stuffing her mouth with all kinds of delicious medicinal herbs. Looking at the approaching Jiama Imperial Capital, Xiao Ling released the soul power between his eyebrows. After some exploration, he found the Xiao family mansion that had just moved to the imperial capital in the central area of ​​the imperial capital.

Touching his chin, Xiao Ling thought to himself, "I'm afraid I will rarely return to the Xiao family in the future. Since this is my first time in the imperial capital, I need to show my strength and shock the various forces in the imperial capital. This way, after I leave the Xiao family, those arrogant people will not think that the Xiao family can be bullied."

As Xiao Ling's mind moved, the Sky-Splitting Seat under him underwent some changes. It was obviously a super evolution that Xiao Ling rarely used in front of outsiders.

……

In the central area of ​​the Holy City of Gama, there are many powerful mansions, and at the core is a magnificent palace. This is the residence of the Gama royal family, the most powerful force in the Gama Empire.

Around it, the Alchemist Guild, the Nalan Family, the Mu Family, the Miter Auction Headquarters, etc. are located one after another. If there is no Dou Wang-level strongman in the family, it is impossible to settle here. This shows how precious the central area of ​​the Holy City is.

Just at this moment, the wind and clouds in the blue sky suddenly changed, and a domineering aura spread around without restraint.

The originally bustling central area of ​​the Jiama Empire suddenly became a little restless with the appearance of this aura.

When this aura spread, powerful people from all sides in the capital of Jiama Empire began to notice it.

In a moment, several old men with fighting wings on their backs appeared in the sky above the center of the imperial capital.

"Who on earth is this person coming with such a commotion?" Jia Xingtian stroked his beard and muttered to himself.

He is the strongest among these people and the first to arrive here.

Hai Bodong on the side narrowed his eyes and looked at the scene in the sky, "Why does this breath give me a sense of déjà vu?"

"If the enemy has ill intentions and a fight is necessary, we alchemists are not good at this." The person who said this had an alchemy furnace on his head and a pair of small fighting wings spread out behind him. He was the president of the Gama Empire Alchemist Guild, Fama.

Behind the three of them were Mu Chen, the head of the Mu family, and Nalan Jie, the old head of the Nalan family. Both of them had the cultivation level of Dou Wang. How they would act later would depend on the plans of the three Dou Huangs in front of them.

As they were thinking, a black dragon head broke through the clouds, half of it poked out, looked up to the sky and let out a long, high-pitched roar. From the upper and lower jaws on both sides of the dragon head, long golden objects like ribbons extended, fluttering in the wind, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.

Then, the body of this demon beast completely emerged from the clouds. It had a slender figure, skin like black gemstone, red ring-shaped patterns on its back and shoulders, and three sharp claws on its limbs, flashing cold light.

His ruby-like eyes swept calmly over the five old men in front of him, as if they were nothing, without the slightest emotion fluctuation.

Feeling the aura emitted by this black monster, Jia Xingtian frowned. In his perception, the aura of this monster was not much different from his own. It should be a sixth-level peak monster, but it gave him a sense of danger. If he fought with it, the chances of winning would definitely be very low.

This kind of highly skilled demon beast should be able to understand human language. It is better to ask about its purpose first and not make an enemy of it.

Just as Jia Xingtian was about to open his mouth to negotiate, a voice broke the silence.

"Master Xiao Ling, I didn't expect you to arrive at the capital of Gama so quickly. I thought it would take you some time to resolve the issues in the Tagor Desert." Hai Bodong flapped his pair of ice-blue fighting wings and flew towards Rayquaza.

When the Sky-Splitting Seat appeared, Hai Bodong sensed the four figures on it. Hai Bodong was very familiar with three of them, namely Master Xiao Ling who made the Evil-Breaking Pill for him, and the two little girls he brought with him. Although he didn't know how there was another girl, it had nothing to do with him, Hai Bodong.

Hearing this, the other four old men also cast their gazes towards the top of Rayquaza's head, where four figures were standing, and the young man in the center made them suddenly realize.

Naturally, they had seen Xiao Ling's portrait, but they did not expect that this talented young man who was famous in Gama could actually tame such an unknown sixth-level monster.

"Mr. Hai, it's been a long time. Seeing you in such high spirits, it seems that you have recovered quite well." At this time, Xiao Ling, who was standing on top of the Rayquaza, spoke lightly.

"Haha, the elixir refined by Master Xiao Ling is naturally extraordinary in effect." Hai Bodong laughed loudly first, then pointed at the old men behind him, "The one wearing glasses is Jia Xingtian, the guardian of the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire. The one with the elixir furnace on his head is the president of the Alchemist Guild, Master Fa Ma. That one is Mu Zhan, the head of the Mu family, and that one is Nalan Jie, the old head of the Nalan family..."

As Hai Bodong finished introducing several people, Xiao Ling also got to know these people in front of him. They were all well-known figures in the imperial capital.

Xiao Ling exchanged a few pleasantries with these old men and planned to leave and return to the Xiao family first.

Just when Xiao Ling was about to leave, Jia Xingtian smiled and said to Xiao Ling, "Master Xiao Ling, I wonder when we can start the pill refining that we agreed on before."

After hearing Jia Xingtian's question, Xiao Ling suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten about this matter.

Nodding slightly, Xiao Ling smiled at Jia Xingtian and said, "Wait for me to go back to the family first, and send someone to deliver three batches of medicinal materials tomorrow, and then I can start to help you refine them."

"Okay, Master Xiao Ling has been practicing away from home since he was young. I think he misses his family very much. I won't bother you for now. I will send someone to deliver the herbs to your house tomorrow." Jia Xingtian smiled and touched his beard.
