Chapter 193 Departure to Gama
The next morning, the sun shone gently on Xiao Ling's face through the gap in the curtains.
When Xiao Ling slowly opened his eyes and greeted the first ray of sunshine in the morning, he subconsciously looked for warmth beside him.
However, the moment he turned his head, he found that Han Yue was no longer by his side, leaving only the faint, reassuring fragrance, as if her breath was still lingering in the air, gently brushing his heart.
On the bed sheet, a few strands of silver hair shone softly in the morning light. They lay there quietly, proving the lingering of last night.
Xiao Ling sat up and looked around. He saw that everything in the room was normal, except that Han Yue's clothes were gone, as if she had never stayed here.
Shaking his head, he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart, but it was soon replaced by a deep longing.
He stood up, walked to the window, opened the window, and let the fresh air and warm sunshine fill the whole room.
At this time, Xiao Ling's eyes were attracted by a note beside the bed, on which was written Han Yue's beautiful handwriting:
Xiao Ling,
When you read this letter, I have quietly left. I don't want you to experience the heaviness and reluctance of parting, so I chose this way. Please forgive my leaving without saying goodbye, but please believe that my heart is full of our common memories, and they will always be preciously stored in my heart.
Please don't worry about me, take care of yourself, just as you have always taken care of me. I believe that in the near future, we will meet again at some beautiful moment. At that time, we can continue our story and share each other's joys and sorrows.
Looking forward to that day, until then, please remember that no matter where you are, my heart is always with you.
Han Yue
Xiao Ling gently stroked the handwriting on the note, as if he could feel the warmth left by Han Yue.
"After taking away all the opportunities in the northwest continent, it's time to put the trip to Zhongzhou on the agenda."
He gently put the letter back into the envelope and carefully collected it.
Then, he stood up, walked out of the room, and greeted the new day.
Xiao Ling stepped out of the door and stepped into the courtyard in the early morning. The sun shone, coating each leaf with a layer of golden light.
Qing Lin was concentrating on teasing his snake pet, which was entwined around his fingertips, appearing both docile and agile.
Xiao Yixian was carefully preparing poison on a stone table. Her technique was skillful, and every drop of the medicine was accurate.
Zi Yan took out a pill slowly and gently put it into her mouth. As the pill slowly dissolved, a faint fragrance spread in the air, like a flower blooming in spring, making people feel refreshed and relaxed.
When they saw Xiao Ling walk out of the room alone, Zi Yan's eyes flashed with joy. She put down the pills in her hand and greeted Xiao Ling: "Xiao Ling, good morning."
Xiao Ling smiled and responded: "Good morning, Zi Yan, Qing Lin, Xian'er."
Xiao Yixian looked behind Xiao Ling, but did not see Han Yue. She couldn't help asking: "Xiao Ling, Han Yue..."
Xiao Ling's movements froze slightly, but soon recovered: "Yes, she has left..."
After hearing this, the three of them were a little disappointed, but soon adjusted their emotions and continued to chat with Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling felt the emotional changes of the three people, smiled slightly, and tried to ease the atmosphere: "However, when we have the opportunity to go to Zhongzhou, I believe we will see each other again."
Xiao Yixian, Zi Yan and Qing Lin heard the words, and their eyes showed a trace of yearning.
Zhongzhou, it is a place full of mystery and opportunities.
They are not unfamiliar with Zhongzhou. Yao Chen always mentions some things and cultural anecdotes of that place intentionally or unintentionally on weekdays.
Qinglin's eyes were shining with curiosity. As Yaochen's disciple, she was the young master of Xingyun Pavilion, one of the four pavilions in Zhongzhou.
She thought to herself: "I don't know what the Xingyun Pavilion that Master often mentioned is like. I really want to go to Zhongzhou as soon as possible and see it with my own eyes."
Ziyan's heart was full of longing. She imagined that there were many kinds of magical beasts in the vast land of Zhongzhou, full of vitality.
She secretly hoped that in those unknown corners, perhaps there were people of the same race who were connected to her by blood.
Xiao Yixian's eyes were shining with anticipation. Xiao Ling once revealed to her that the key to completely eliminating the side effects of the evil poison body was to find the magic core of the seventh-level sky poison scorpion dragon beast.
And this rare magical beast is said to only live in the Luoshenjian area of Zhongzhou.
Once the time is right, she will definitely go there to explore.
Xiao Ling looked at the expectant expressions of the three people, smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Zhongzhou, we must go, but not now."
Xiao Yixian blinked and asked curiously: "Since you are not going to Zhongzhou for the time being, Xiao Ling, what are your next plans? Are you going to stay in Canaan Academy to practice?"
Xiao Ling shook his head and replied: "No, I plan to go back to the Jia Ma Empire first to see the situation of the family. After that, I will go to the Luoyan Empire."
Zi Yan raised her eyebrows slightly and asked: "Luoyan Empire? Why go to that place?"
Hearing Zi Yan's question, Xiao Ling smiled and explained, "Because I got a map of the Dou Zun ruins before, and the ruins are hidden in a monster mountain range in the Luoyan Empire."
"And according to the information recorded on the map, the Dou Zun once subdued a strange fire during his lifetime. After his death, the strange fire is likely to remain in the ruins."
After listening to Xiao Ling's explanation, everyone understood that they knew the attraction of strange fire to Xiao Ling, and swallowing the strange fire could quickly improve Xiao Ling's strength.
Even if he is not sure whether the strange fire really still exists, Xiao Ling will definitely go to investigate the situation after getting the news about the strange fire.
Moreover, the value of Dou Zun's ruins is inestimable, and there may be countless treasures hidden there. After all, every Dou Zun strongman was a powerful figure during his lifetime, and their legacy must be extremely rich.
Xiao Ling's eyes slowly circulated in the courtyard, and finally settled on the faces of each of his companions. There was a hint of expectation in his voice: "I have explained my plan to you. Now, I want to know if you will Are you willing to go with me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qing Lin immediately stood up and said firmly: "Master, no matter where you go, Qing Lin will follow you closely."
As she spoke, she walked up to Xiao Ling and gently took one of his arms, her eyes full of trust and dependence on Xiao Ling.
Zi Yan also followed closely, with a burst of excitement: "I want to go too! I haven't seen Sister Medusa for a long time, and I really miss her."
She also walked to the other side of Xiao Ling, took his other arm, and jumped lively, looking very intimate.
Seeing Qing Lin and Zi Yan approaching Xiao Ling so actively, the little medical fairy couldn't help but shake her head slightly, with a helpless smile on her lips.
She secretly thought that since the relationship between Han Yue and Xiao Ling became clear, the two girls seemed to have become more enthusiastic, maybe they wanted to occupy a place in Xiao Ling's heart.
Feeling the soft touch on his arms, Xiao Ling smiled slightly and did not resist Qing Lin and Zi Yan's intimate actions.
Then, the three people's eyes turned to the little medical fairy in unison, with a questioning meaning.
The little medical fairy chuckled and replied leisurely: "Since you have all decided to go on an adventure, I will naturally not stay alone in Canaan Academy. During this trip, I can also go to the Izumo Empire. There should be many things there that I have never seen before. The poisonous things I have seen may help me further improve my strength."
Xiao Ling smiled slightly, and the expression on his face became much more relaxed.
Although with his current ability, there is almost no danger in the northwest continent and he does not need to rely on their strength, but traveling with his friends, the journey itself is full of infinite fun.
Immediately, Xiao Ling said, "Without further ado, let's go clean up. We will set off later."
After hearing this, everyone nodded. Zi Yan and Qing Lin also let go of Xiao Ling's arms. The three women each turned around to pack their bags and prepare for the upcoming journey.
Xiao Ling watched his friends prepare their bags, and then walked alone to the backyard, where the two elders Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo lived.
As souls, although the two of them have difficulty moving, they can get along with each other more easily and comfortably than with young people like Xiao Ling, unlike the age gap that may exist when getting along with younger generations.
Here, they can put aside the airs of their elders, enjoy tea and play chess every day, and live a leisurely life.
After passing through a lush bamboo forest, Xiao Ling came to a quiet courtyard. The environment here is quiet, with birds singing and flowers fragrant. It is a good place for practicing.
In the quiet courtyard, Yao Chen and Lord Tianhuo were immersed in their chess game and the fragrance of tea. The sunlight filtered through the treetops and dappled onto the stone table, adding a bit of vividness to the quiet afternoon.
As the sound of brisk footsteps gradually became clearer, the two old men's attention shifted from the chessboard. Their eyes turned to the source of the sound. When Xiao Ling's figure appeared at the entrance of the courtyard, gentle smiles appeared on their faces.
"Xiao Ling, you kid, why do you have time to come to our place? Today is not a day to learn alchemy skills." Yao Chen put down the chess piece in his hand, with curiosity shining in his eyes.
Xiao Ling walked into the courtyard with a chuckle. There was a calmness in his steps, as if he was used to the relaxed atmosphere in front of Yao Chen and Lord Tianhuo.
"Yao Lao, although today is not a day for refining medicine, I have more exciting news to tell you." Xiao Ling said, with an even bigger smile on his face.
Lord Tianhuo curiously put down the tea cup in his hand, "Oh? What news can make you so excited? Tell me."
Xiao Ling cleared his throat and spoke slowly, "I plan to go back to the Jiama Empire first to see the situation of the family. After that, I plan to go to the Luoyan Empire because I got a copy of Dou Zun's relics before. The map of..."
A trace of surprise flashed in Yao Chen's eyes, and then he shook his head with a smile, "It's you indeed, your luck has always been good. Dou Zun's ruins are a rare treasure in the northwest continent. Ordinary people will never encounter them in their lifetime, but you actually have it." It’s a rare opportunity to meet again.”
Xiao Ling smiled coquettishly and murmured to himself: "The luck is indeed good. I got it from the system." But on the surface, he just said modestly: "Yeah, I also think that I have always been very lucky."
Seeing that the two seniors were interested in the news about Dou Zun's ruins, Xiao Ling asked: "In that case, do the two seniors intend to go with me? Do they choose to continue to enjoy leisure in Canaan College, or are they willing to go out with me? Have an adventure?"
Yao Chen and Lord Tianhuo looked at each other, and both saw the light of eagerness in each other's eyes.
Yao Chen spoke first: "I have been in Canaan Academy for a long time, and I do feel a little bored. Since there is such a good opportunity, we naturally have no reason to miss it."
Tianhuo Zun also nodded and agreed: "That's right, and maybe in the Dou Zun ruins, we can also collect some materials that can help us refine our bodies."
After all, Xiao Ling mentioned that the owner of the Dou Zun ruins was an eighth-grade alchemist, and the medicinal materials he treasured must be extraordinary. If they can obtain the materials for refining the bone-growing and blood-melting pills from the ruins, once they successfully refine this pill, they will have the hope of regaining their bodies.
After receiving the affirmative answers from Yao Chen and Tianhuo Zun, Xiao Ling no longer wasted time and said with a smile: "Well, Xian'er and the others should be ready soon. Without further ado, let's go and meet them now."
Yao Chen and Tianhuo Zun nodded one after another, stretched out their hands, and two soul-hosting rings floated in front of them, and their bodies turned into a stream of light and drilled into their respective rings.
Xiao Ling moved his mind, and two rings fell on his fingers. Immediately, he took a step and left the backyard.
When he returned to the courtyard, he saw Xiao Yixian, Qinglin and Ziyan chatting there. They were obviously ready and waiting for Xiao Ling.
Seeing Xiao Ling coming back from the backyard, Qinglin asked curiously: "Master, will Master and Senior Tianhuo go together?"
Before Xiao Ling could answer, Yao Chen's voice floated out with a smile: "Haha, good disciples, the master will naturally follow you."
With the voice, Yao Chen's soul floated out of the ring and appeared in front of everyone.
Tianhuo Venerable was not willing to lag behind, and his voice sounded immediately: "Of course, how can this kind of adventure be without my Tianhuo Venerable." As soon as the voice fell, Tianhuo Venerable's soul also appeared from another ring.
Seeing the souls of Yao Chen and Tianhuo Venerable appear, Xiao Yixian and Qinglin showed due respect and bowed slightly.
After chatting with everyone for a few words, Yao Chen and Tianhuo Zun's soul bodies turned into streams of light again and returned to the storage ring where they were staying.
Xiao Ling looked around and confirmed that everyone was ready to go. He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, since everyone is ready, let's go." There was a hint of excitement in his voice.
Then, Xiao Ling led Qing Lin, Zi Yan and Xiao Yixian through several quiet paths in Canaan College and came to the door of Elder Su Qian's office.
After all, they were leaving the college, so they should tell Elder Su Qian.
Xiao Ling knocked on the door gently, and Elder Su Qian's gentle voice came from inside: "Come in."
They pushed the door open and saw Elder Su Qian sitting behind a large desk, holding an ancient scroll in his hand and studying it attentively.
Seeing Xiao Ling and his friends come in, Elder Su Qian put down the scroll in his hand and looked at them kindly.
"Xiao Ling, what are you guys doing?" Elder Su Qian asked with a smile.
Xiao Ling stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and then told Elder Su Qian that they were about to go out for training.
Su Qian did not show much surprise when he heard this, as if he had already expected Xiao Ling to leave.
He nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "Young man, it is a good thing to have ambitions. Training can make people grow quickly, but it is also full of unknowns and dangers."
Go, but always pay attention to safety. "Elder Su Qian reminded, his eyes swept over Xiao Ling and Xiao Yixian one by one, "You must unite and help each other outside. Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, Canaan Academy will always be your backing."
"Thank you for the teachings of the elder, we will keep it in mind. "Xiao Ling responded with a smile.
After a brief farewell, Xiao Ling and the others left the office of Elder Su Qian.
After leaving the space barrier of the inner courtyard and coming to an open lawn, Xiao Ling closed his eyes, and his spiritual power spread like gentle ripples in the air.
Through the special spiritual bond between him and the Split Sky Seat, he began to search for its location.
This ability is the product of the deep relationship between Xiao Ling and the Split Sky Seat. It not only allows Xiao Ling to guide the Split Sky Seat to super-evolution, but also allows Xiao Ling to accurately sense the existence of the Split Sky Seat no matter how far apart the two are.
Xiao Ling concentrated his mind and issued a silent call, which was conveyed to the Split Sky Seat through the connection deep in his soul. The distant Split Sky Seat.
This call transcends the limitations of sound and is a unique way of communication between the two.
Since arriving at Canaan Academy, Xiao Ling has not always brought the Split Sky Seat with him, but let it move freely in the academy.
The students in the academy can occasionally see the spectacular figure of the Split Sky Seat. They all know that this unique magic beast is the mount of Elder Xiao Ling.
After a while, the figure of the Split Sky Seat flew from the sky. Its huge body shone in the sun. In the blink of an eye, it landed beside Xiao Ling and rubbed Xiao Ling's face intimately, expressing its intimacy and dependence on him.
Xiao Ling gently stroked the Split Sky Seat's head, then turned and said to the few people: "Come up. "
Qinglin, Ziyan and Xiaoyixian nodded, and they jumped onto the back of Liekongzuo one by one and found a comfortable position.
With Xiao Ling's order, Liekongzuo let out a deafening roar, and after its body sank slightly, it suddenly jumped up and rushed into the sky.
Everyone only felt a gust of wind and lightning, and Liekongzuo had already taken them to the clouds.
Looking down from the sky, the view of Canaan College became smaller and smaller, and finally became a small dot on the ground.
