Chapter 138 Return to the Inner Courtyard

Chapter 138 Return to the Inner Courtyard
The next morning, the golden sunlight sprinkled softly in the courtyard. Xiao Ling got up early, walked gently into Zi Yan's room, and gently woke up Zi Yan who was still sleeping sweetly.

"Zi Yan, get up quickly. We are going to the inner courtyard today." Xiao Ling said gently.

Zi Yan rubbed her sleepy eyes and muttered, "Oh, it's so early. I haven't slept enough." But she still sat up obediently.

Xiao Ling smiled and touched her head, then went to Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin's room and woke them up one by one.

Soon, the four of them had packed up and arrived at the courtyard.

Qing Lin shouted softly, summoning the Six-Winged Black Snake King. The four of them jumped onto the Six-Winged Black Snake King's broad back one by one, finding a good position to stand firmly.

Xiao Ling gave an order: "Let's go!"

The six-winged black snake king raised his head and let out a long roar. Then, he flapped his wings violently and soared into the air, flying towards the inner courtyard.

In the air, the strong wind blew on everyone's faces. Zi Yan rubbed her eyes and pulled Xiao Ling's sleeve.

Xiao Ling turned around and cast a curious look at Zi Yan, "What's wrong, Zi Yan, are you hungry again?"

Since Zi Yan needed much more energy recently than before, she often asked Xiao Ling for more medicinal herbs.

Nodding and then shaking her head, Zi Yan replied: "I feel that the opportunity to be promoted to the sixth-level magic beast is getting closer and closer. After returning to the inner courtyard, I will find a place to retreat. Please give me more pills this time."

Hearing this, Xiao Ling suddenly realized that after more than half a year of energy accumulation, it was time for Zi Yan to break through to the sixth-level magic beast. However, the bloodline of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Royal Family was indeed powerful, and the resources consumed for this advancement were indeed not small.

Xiao Ling took out a storage ring and handed it to Zi Yan. "The pills in here should be enough for you to eat for a long time. I think it should be enough for you to break through to the sixth-level magic beast."

Zi Yan took the storage ring handed to her by Xiao Ling, a look of joy appeared on her face. After putting the ring away, she lay in Xiao Ling's arms and closed her eyes.

Xiao Ling gently rubbed Zi Yan's head, his eyes full of pampering. Seeing this scene, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin smiled at each other.

At this time, the six-winged black snake king suddenly accelerated, and the wind around him whistled even louder. Xiao Ling held Zi Yan tightly in his arms and released a layer of fighting spirit barrier to prevent the oncoming airflow from disturbing Zi Yan.

Sitting on the back of the six-winged black snake king, flying over the continuous mountains with peaks towering into the clouds; passing through the dense forests with shady green trees; passing over the vast grasslands with green grass.

After flying for a long time, the magnificent building in the inner courtyard finally appeared in front of us. The building was soaring into the sky, majestic, and surrounded by a mysterious light, which made people feel awe.

After flying for a long time, the area where the inner courtyard was located finally appeared in front.

This is a place surrounded by canyons. Although you can't see the door, you can still feel the mysterious power emanating from it.

Xiao Ling made a specific hand seal, and light flickered between his hands. As his gestures changed, mysterious runes emerged in the air, interweaving into a complex pattern.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful energy wave came from the front, and a faint space gate slowly appeared.

Qinglin and Xiao Yixian both found this scene interesting and fresh. Qinglin's big, lively eyes widened, full of surprise and curiosity. Xiao Yixian's beautiful face also showed a hint of novelty. Yao Chen emerged from the Bone Flame Ring, carefully looked at the space door, and said, "The space power here is used very cleverly, completely isolating the space where the inner courtyard is located from the outside world, forming an independent space domain, making it difficult for outsiders to directly perceive its existence. The person who performed this technique must be as powerful as I was when I was alive."

"But looking at this space barrier, it seems that it has not been reinforced for a long time, so its stability has seriously declined and is far worse than before."

"Old Yao is indeed knowledgeable and can see through the mystery of this with just one glance. I have heard before that the dean is a powerful person with the strength reaching the Dou Zun level, but he has always been idle and free by nature and is not used to being restrained. Therefore, he did not stay in Canaan College for a long time to take charge of affairs. He left the college a long time ago and has not returned yet." Xiao Ling nodded slightly and replied to Yao Chen.

Xiao Ling gently patted the broad back of the Six-Winged Black Snake King, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the space gate, and ordered: "Six-Winged Black Snake King, take us into the mysterious space gate."

Upon hearing Xiao Ling's order, the six-winged black snake king raised its head and let out a long howl, as if responding to Xiao Ling's instructions.

Immediately afterwards, it flapped its huge and powerful wings violently, and its huge body flew quickly towards the direction of the space gate and entered the space gate without hesitation.

After passing through the space gate, Xiao Ling greeted the two elders.

He took Qinglin, Xiao Yixian and others and walked quickly along the winding path in the inner courtyard, heading directly for the office of Elder Su Qian.

After all, Elder Su Qian is his elder, and it is reasonable for him to be the first to inform him to show respect and courtesy.

Afterwards, Xiao Ling and the others stepped into the office of the Great Elder. The room was decorated in a simple yet solemn manner. Several rows of bookshelves stood against the wall, filled with various classics. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the window and sprinkled on the wooden floor, forming mottled light and shadows.

At this time, Elder Su Qian was sitting at the desk, holding an ancient book and reading it attentively.

Hearing the noise of people coming in, he raised his head, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he was the first to greet Xiao Ling: "Xiao Ling, you are back."

Xiao Ling bowed slightly respectfully and said, "Grand Elder."

The Great Elder's eyes first swept over everyone, then fixed on the sleeping Zi Yan.

The Great Elder frowned slightly, looked at Xiao Ling, and asked, "What's going on?"

Xiao Ling hurriedly explained: "Great Elder, Zi Yan is about to advance. I will send her back to her room later so that she can break through with peace of mind."

The Great Elder nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a trace of concern: "Then you must take good care of it. There can be no mistakes in the promotion."

Xiao Ling replied solemnly: "Don't worry, Great Elder, I will make all the arrangements."

The Great Elder nodded and said, "Xiao Ling, I'm sure you'll be safe."

He then turned his gaze to the two girls, Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian, behind Xiao Ling, and asked curiously, "Who are these two?"

Xiao Ling smiled and introduced Su Qian, "Great Elder, this is Xiao Yixian. She has a poisonous body. Although her physique is special, she is kind-hearted. The other one is Qinglin. She has the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils. This strange pupil power gives her unique abilities. In terms of cultivation talent alone, even I am far behind them."
