In order to speed up the journey to Black Rock City, Xiao Ling awakened the Rayquaza on his wrist, and the two of them rode on the Rayquaza at full speed towards Black Rock City.
One day later, in the eastern border of the Jiama Empire, at the edge of the Tager Desert, in the desert city.
A slender creature rushed through the sky, and the surrounding clouds were cut into a blue channel, which made it particularly eye-catching.
With the help of Rayquaza's speed that surpassed that of ordinary Dou Zong masters, it only took about a day for Black Rock City to appear in their sight.
Xiao Ling said to Zi Yan who was standing beside him, "Let's go together. Don't attract too much attention. Don't steal the herbs from other people's treasure houses, or else you'll get yourself into trouble. When the time comes, others will say that I am a dignified sixth-rank alchemist , it doesn't sound good if the alchemist steals medicinal materials."
Zi Yan scratched her head and said with a guilty conscience: "I know, I know. Don't worry, I won't do such a thing."
Xiao Ling, who was standing by, saw Zi Yan's expression and shook his head helplessly. It was obvious that this girl had just been thinking this.
After patting Rayquaza's back, Rayquaza's body, which was in tune with Xiao Ling's mind, gradually began to shrink, and then it wrapped around Xiao Ling's wrist and got into his sleeve.
After stuffing a fourth-grade pill into his sleeve, Rayquaza swallowed it in one gulp. He licked Xiao Ling's fingers, then retracted his head and fell asleep.
Patting the little guy on the head, Xiao Ling said with a smile: "You must have been exhausted from traveling at full speed all day. Have a good rest."
After the two men fell from Rayquaza, they spread their Dou Qi Wings and flew towards the city gate.
When they were still a few hundred meters away from the city, Xiao Ling and Zi Yan's flying speed gradually slowed down. Their bodies trembled slightly, and the Dou Qi Wings behind them turned into energy points and slowly dissipated in the air.
Perhaps due to its proximity to the desert, the weather here is quite dry and hot. The scorching sun shines down from the sky, baking the ground beneath our feet so that it constantly emits suffocating heat. The heat slowly rises up, and it actually makes people's vision appear somewhat distorted and blurred.
After checking the situation in his body, he found that the activity level of the fire attribute had a certain improvement effect. The soul perception in the center of his eyebrows radiated, and he noticed that the air here was filled with a large amount of fire and earth attribute energy. If he practiced these two attributes here, the efficiency would be improved, but compared with the Tianfen Qi Training Tower in the inner courtyard, it was not worth mentioning.
As we gradually approached the city, there were more and more passers-by around us. Most of the men were shirtless, with dark and slender skin. At first glance, they seemed to be quite generous. The occasional woman passing by had a slightly dark skin, but it was a sexy bronze color. The women here were not as reserved and shy as the women in the empire. A tight leather jacket just covered the chest and a little bit of the area below, while the slender waist was boldly exposed. The long and tight thighs were also covered by some short skirts or shorts. While walking, her waist twisted like a water snake, which had a charming charm and style.
However, Xiao Ling only glanced at these scenes that could be considered stunning beauty to others and then looked away. Now, Xiao Ling's standards had been raised by Han Yue and Xiao Xun'er. These mediocre girls were not even as good as the seniors and juniors of Canaan Academy. Naturally, Xiao Ling had no interest in them.
Not far from the city gate, Xiao Ling took out the alchemist robe and put on the third-grade alchemist badge he had obtained before. He had originally planned to use the identity of a second-grade alchemist to avoid some trouble. A third-grade alchemist was still a bit conspicuous. After all, Xiao Ling didn't like being stared at by everyone, and he didn't feel a sense of accomplishment in pretending to be cool in front of these Dou Zhe and Dou Shi. It was a pity that he reached the third grade not long after he started learning, and there were no lower-level badges. This was also a kind of helplessness of a genius.
At the city gate, a dozen soldiers in armor were holding spears and shouting at passers-by entering the city to pay the entry tax.
Perhaps because of the hot weather, the soldiers guarding here were also a little irritated by the irritable weather, and they kept urging passers-by at the city gate with their rude shouts and scolds.
Because their temperament and attire were quite different, they were quickly noticed by passers-by and soldiers at the door.
Noticing Xiao Ling's alchemist robe and the third-grade alchemist badge on his chest, the people around him cast envious, admiring, and yearning glances at the two of them.
The pedestrians stopped and made way to both sides.
Xiao Ling didn't say much, and walked straight to the city gate with Zi Yan. When the soldiers guarding the city gate saw the two of them coming, one of them hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. His unfriendly expression just now turned into a flattering one, and he said, "Mr. Alchemist, if you need to enter the city, please come in. You are of noble status, so you don't need to queue."
He nodded slightly, walked towards an empty passage nearby, casually took out a first-grade pill from his ring, threw it to the soldier, and then asked, "Where is the largest map shop in Black Rock City?"
The soldier was quick to catch the pill. The smell of medicine emanating from it made him intoxicated. He quickly bowed to Xiao Ling and replied respectfully, "There is a map shop called "Gutu" in Black Rock City. I have a map here with the approximate location written on it. Mr. Alchemist, you may want to take a look at it." He then took out a map from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Ling.
When the surrounding soldiers saw that this man had gained benefits, they all looked at him with envy and jealousy, regretting that they had not gone up to please the alchemist and missed the opportunity.
Without paying any more attention to this person, Xiao Ling took the map, took Zi Yan into the passage, and then slowly disappeared into the darkness of the city wall passage.
Holding the pill tightly in his hand and glancing at the envious eyes around him, the soldier couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, I am smart enough, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get this benefit."
...
Following the map given by the soldier, Xiao Ling and Zi Yan soon arrived at a shop.
Xiao Ling looked around from outside. This shop was not as luxurious and ostentatious as other shops. Instead, it had an ancient atmosphere. It was obvious at a glance that the owner was no ordinary person.
Without thinking about anything else, Xiao Ling walked slowly into the shop with Zi Yan. The interior of the shop was not too spacious. The faint light from the two moonstones made the shop quite bright. He swept his eyes inside the shop. There were not many people inside buying maps. It looked deserted. If Xiao Ling had not read the original book, he would probably wonder if he had come to the wrong place.
After entering the store, Xiao Ling noticed the old man behind the counter. He was wearing a blue robe, with white hair casually draped behind him. There was an icy aura around him, and he was obviously a strong man who practiced ice-attributed Dou Qi.
The old man was obviously quite old, but despite his advanced age, his dry hand holding the black drawing pen was still steady and strong.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Hai Bodong, the angel investor of Dou Qi Continent, finally found you."
