Unfortunately, Xiao Ming wasn't even looking at him, so his glance had no effect. However, what Xiao Ming said next made Hei Qing ecstatic, and his expression towards Xiao Ming became gentler.
Xiao Ming patted Zi Yan's head and said, "Zi Yan, now that you have news about your relatives, you should go and see them." He didn't say much more, as he knew Zi Yan would ultimately choose to go to her tribe, as she held too many questions in her heart.
Sure enough, after Xiao Ming persuaded her, Zi Yan thought for a moment, nodded heavily, and said to Hei Qing, "Okay, I'll go back with you, but you have to bring Xiao Ming and my sisters with us!"
Hei Qing's face lit up with joy upon hearing her words, but her subsequent request made him a bit helpless.
It wasn't that he had any prejudice against Xiao Ming and the others; on the contrary, he admired Xiao Ming a lot.
However, Elder Zhu Li had not allowed him to bring other people back to Dragon Island. Bringing other people back rashly might cause Elder Zhu Li's displeasure.
Fortunately, Xiao Ming did not make it difficult for him. "Zi Yan, you can go back with him, we won't come with you this time."
Zi Yan was surprised and looked at Xiao Ming. "Why?! Didn't we agree that you would come back with me?" Her purple eyes showed a hint of confusion.
Xiao Ming explained, "I will go with you to the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe, but not now. If you miss us, you can come out and find me. Senior Hei Qing said that you are the Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe, and I believe they won't stop you for this little matter."
"It's like that, isn't it, Senior Hei Qing?"
"Ah, yes, yes, if you miss them, you can come out at any time." Hei Qing nodded vigorously.
"..."
Zi Yan hesitated for a moment, but knowing that she could leave, she reluctantly agreed and bid farewell to everyone before departing with Hei Qing.
Looking at the space channel that could be easily torn apart by Hei Qing, Xiao Ming took a deep breath.
"What's wrong? Are you a little reluctant to part with sister Zi Yan?" Xiao Yi Xian noticed his mood and asked softly. Her beautiful eyes were slightly red, revealing her own emotions.
"A little, but it's only a temporary separation." Xiao Ming smiled lightly and didn't say much.
...
The interior of the space wormhole was as monotonous as usual, but this time, it was far from silent. Countless space boats flashed and streaked across a spacious channel, filling it with a cacophony of noise.
A day later, in the distant reaches of the space wormhole, a circle of silver light flickered, emitting astonishing spatial fluctuations.
As they approached the silver ring of light, the uproar from the countless space boats suddenly died down, replaced by an eerie stillness.
Figures wearing alchemist robes emerged from the space boats, their eyes fervently fixed on the silver ring of light.
Holy Pill City, the holy land in the hearts of all alchemists!
Space boats hurtled through the dark sky like shooting stars, plunging into the massive silver ring of light as though diving into the sea.
The black space boat carrying Xiao Ming and the others also entered the ring of light, braving the violently shaking spatial fluctuations and disappearing from view.
As they broke into the silver ring of light, the violent spatial fluctuations caused the entire space boat to shake violently. The ordeal lasted less than ten seconds, gradually fading away. The silver light that had dominated Xiao Ming and the others' view grew dimmer and dimmer until, after a while, it suddenly erupted into a dazzling glare that made them instinctively squint.
As Xiao Ming and the others closed their eyes, a gentle breeze suddenly blew in, and its soft touch gradually relaxed their tense hearts. However, just as they began to unwind, an extremely harsh and noisy sound suddenly pierced their ears, making several people frown.
Slowly opening his eyes, what appeared in Xiao Ming's sight was a huge square entirely built of red rocks. The square seemed to extend beyond what the eye could see, with the only visible thing being a red line that seemed to go on forever. It was likely several kilometers wide, and Xiao Ming and his companions stood within it like tiny ants, barely noticeable.
At this moment, the crimson square was almost overcrowded with a sea of people, and the deafening noise emanating from it converged and rushed up to the clouds!
'This is just a spatial point outside the Holy Pill City, and it's already so vast? I heard that the Holy Pill City has eight of these space points. No wonder the Pill Tower is a top force in the continent.' Xiao Ming couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the vast square.
Behind him, the space was constantly rippling with violent distortions, and space boats were constantly flying out of it, quickly becoming tiny dots in the sky. Meanwhile, the figures on board were descending from the sky like beans...
Clearly, this was the landing point of a space wormhole.
Both Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin were seeing this scene for the first time, and they looked around with curiosity.
"Hehe, Xiao Ming, I didn't expect that I would wake up and see this scene right away. Did you come to Pill Tower in the Central Region? Have I been asleep for such a long time?" Suddenly, an old laughter sounded in Xiao Ming's mind without warning.
"Senior Yao, you're awake. How's the recovery?" Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Ming smiled inwardly and replied.
"Not bad, the fierce spirit has restored my strength to the eight-star Dou Ancestor realm. This is the limit of strength I can have without a physical body."
"Okay, Senior Yao, don't worry. After arriving at the headquarters of the Pill Tower this time, I'll work on improving my alchemy skills as soon as possible. I'm only missing two ingredients for the Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill, and I believe we'll have results soon regarding the physical body."
During the long journey to the Holy Pill City, Xiao Ming spent most of his time studying alchemy.
With his current understanding of alchemy, he could actually start refining high seventh-tier pills. However, Xiao Ming felt that the success rate was too low, so he wanted to practice making some lower-grade pills before attempting the Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill.
Once Venerable Yao had a physical body, Xiao Ming wouldn't have to worry so much about his actions in the Central Plains.
"Hahaha! I trust your words. I will leave the matter of the body to you. I'm not an ungrateful person. After the body is successfully refined, this old man will be at your service."
Nodding slightly, Xiao Ming didn't continue chatting with him. Instead, he beckoned to Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin and headed towards a certain place in the Holy Pill City.
He planned to find an inn first, and then take the alchemy assessment.
