Chapter 95: Heading to the Holy City
Unable to learn from the system what he had experienced, Xiao Se began to check his physical condition.
I suddenly discovered that 'Bie Tian Shen' seemed to have been used.
Then he carefully counted the immortal herbs in the system warehouse. Most of them were there, but the only five immortal herbs missing were the king of immortal herbs: Acacia Heartbroken Red, Fiery Apricot, Star Aniseed Mysterious Ice Grass, Strange Rong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, and Longing for the Autumn Water Dew.
In addition, the warehouse was also missing three Qi Gathering Powders and several Xuan-level techniques and fighting skills found in the Warcraft Mountain Range during the breakthrough to the Grand Fighter level.
"Alas, I guess I have created an extremely terrifying female genius soul master in Douluo Continent." With a sigh in his heart, Xiao Se smiled bitterly, then slowly closed his eyes and fell into a light sleep.
After several hours, Xiao Se gradually became familiar with his surging soul power, and the flying magic beast finally arrived at the imperial capital - the Holy City of Jiama.
"Xiao Se, are you not going to go with us to the hotel arranged by the Alchemist Guild headquarters?" Walking out of the crowded flying transport line, Otto looked at Xiao Se with complicated eyes and asked.
"Yes, Xiao Se, there are alchemists from all over the Gama Empire gathered there. After some communication, you will avoid many detours in the path of alchemy." Falkland looked at Xiao Se with a complicated look and continued.
In just seven days, they both felt that Xiao Se was becoming more and more unfathomable.
"Thank you both for your kindness. I have a few friends at the Mitre Auction House headquarters who will arrange accommodation for me. I'll leave the registration for the Alchemist Conference to you." Xiao Se smiled and shook his head, declining politely.
"No problem, leave it to us. But Xiao Se, what name are you going to use for the competition?" Otto patted his fat chest confidently and asked.
"Hmm" After a moment's hesitation, Xiao Se still revealed his alias and said awkwardly, "Let's call him Xiao Huohuo." He had already used Xiao Huohuo once in front of Yun Yun. If he used another alias, Yun Yun would inevitably become suspicious when she saw the strange fire. After all, one's figure, appearance, and cultivation could be concealed, but the strange fire could not be concealed.
"Xiao Huohuo," Otto murmured a few times, and nodded heavily, "I understand. Then let's meet at the Alchemist Guild in three days. At that time, there will be a prediction competition held internally to test the places recommended by the presidents of each department. But I think this should be a very simple thing for you."
Xiao Se smiled without saying a word, nodded slightly to Otto and Falkland, then turned and walked towards the Mittel Ranking headquarters. The last time they parted, Ya Fei gave him a layout map of the Holy City of Gama, which described everything clearly except for military secrets such as troop deployment, so he was not worried about taking a detour.
"Xiao Se, remember to come and play with us when you have time." Lin Fei raised her jade hand and said loudly.
Xiao Se did not turn around but raised his hand slightly as a response.
Walking on the crowded streets, he glanced at this magnificent imperial capital and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. On such a grand and huge scale, whether in his past life or this life, it was the most magnificent city he had ever seen, bar none.
"The capital of a small, low-level border country in the Douqi Continent can be so domineering. I wonder how spectacular the Zhongzhou will be." Xiao Se couldn't help but sigh with a low click of his tongue.
Without lingering too much on the prosperity of the imperial capital, Xiao Se quickened his pace. The most urgent task now was to settle down and then refine the magical herbs that could strengthen his body and replenish his vitality.
He has taken drugs a lot in the past two years, and there is still a strong medicinal effect remaining in his body. If he can completely refine it, his strength will be improved to a higher level.
Walking to the most prosperous area in the center of the Holy City of Gama, Xiao Se stopped in front of a huge building with a special logo.
"Is this the headquarters of Miter Auction House? It's incomparable to Wutan City."
Looking at the huge building that was like an underwater whirlpool, sucking in a constant stream of people like a tide, Xiao Se shook his head in amazement and walked into the door of the auction house under the watchful eyes of the fully armed and sharp-eyed guards standing beside the door.
During this period, a few dishonest thieves tried to touch Xiao Se's storage ring. Xiao Se counterattacked and gave them a soul shock. The thieves were hit and immediately bled from all seven orifices, turning into idiots. Now his soul power has officially entered the ranks of a fifth-grade alchemist, and it is easy for him to deal with some thieves with the cultivation level of fighters.
Upon entering the auction house, the bustling noise outside stopped instantly, and a hall that looked like a crystal palace came into view.
There are numerous crystal counters in the hall, and people are constantly passing by the counters. Inside the counters, there are countless rare treasures. Walking in the hall, it feels like a gold shop in a TV series in the past life. If a large truck comes and rushes in with five or six robbers, it will be a Doupo version of "Escape with Wings".
He swept his eyes around the hall with a little curiosity, and a corner of the hall instantly attracted Xiao Se's attention. He saw that the originally quiet crowd there suddenly became agitated.
That was an internal entrance and exit for senior executives of the Mittel Auction House. A beautiful woman with a charming figure walked out of the exit.
The woman was wearing a bright red brocade robe that wrapped her whole body tightly. Although she was dressed conservatively, her beautiful curves could not be concealed, especially the pair of beautiful legs tightly covered by black stockings under the brocade robe, which gave people endless temptation.
Maybe, sometimes, it is best not to see.
"It's her." Xiao Se's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and then he smiled indifferently. It seemed that because of him, Ya Fei and Hai Bodong met earlier. With her outstanding business skills, she won Hai Bodong's favor in a short period and returned to the imperial capital several years earlier.
Surrounded by the crowd, Yafei walked to the hall with elegant steps. Her pretty face was slightly smiling, with a hint of charm. Her curvy body was like a peach in late summer, making people want to take a bite. She touched the hearts of the men present all the time.
After gracefully dealing with the guests who tried to strike up a conversation with her, Ya Fei slowly walked out of the crowd, her charming eyes casually sweeping across the hall. All the guests who came into contact with this pair of charming eyes swallowed hard, with a fiery light in their pupils, but were intimidated by their identities and did not dare to act rashly.
Her beautiful eyes slowly swept across the hall, and just as she was about to retract them, her pupils suddenly froze, and her steps also stopped instantly. She stared blankly at the young man outside the crowd who smiled faintly at her, and her beautiful eyes suddenly revealed a hint of joy and surprise.
"Long time no see." Xiao Se's calm face was still filled with a smile as he spoke lightly.
"Well, long time no see." Under the jealous gaze of everyone in the hall, Ya Fei moved slowly toward the handsome boy.
