"Hehe, interesting. Then I'll definitely go."
Ling Xiao liked crowds. Plus, this alchemy convention was related to what he was best at. If he went, he might even be able to get something good.
"It's good that you want to go. The alchemy convention in the City of Sin is an event that only happens once every two years. The Black Crow Empire, the Divine Phoenix Empire, the Seven Martial Grandmaster Island, and the Five Immortal Island will all send people to participate. It'd be a shame to miss it."
The Moon Lady smiled, "To an alchemist, interacting with others in the same field is very important. If you can get some results in this convention, I'm sure more and more people will be wary of you in the future. It'd be a shame if you don't use this advantage …"
"Master, I've also heard that the alchemy convention in the City of Sin will be watched by many forces. If you perform well, you'll be noticed by these forces and invited to be their guest. The treatment is so good that countless people will go crazy."
Cold Plum added.
Though she was young, she had actually been to many more places than Ling Xiao.
In Cold Plum's blurry memory, she seemed to have been to the City of Sin before. It was just that she was too young back then and couldn't remember clearly.
"I can work with some big forces, but I don't need to submit. I am the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Empire. If I become someone else's alchemist, I won't have any freedom."
Ling Xiao shook his head.
"That's where you're wrong. Master Miracle Hand Sun Shang, you know him too. Though he was killed by us, he had a glorious past."
Cold Plum said, "Sun Shang was an absolute dark horse in the 31st alchemy convention in the City of Sin!
Before he participated in this convention, he was a nobody and was very poor.
But after he successfully got some results in the convention, he was noticed by many big forces. In the end, he chose to become an imperial doctor of the Sacred Dynasty. At that time, Sun Shang was only a low level alchemist of the Yellow Realm.
His cultivation at that time was even worse. He was only at the first Grotto-Heaven Realm.
But with the support of the Sacred Dynasty, not only did his alchemist rank increase, but he also became the strongest alchemist of the Sky Dragon and Divine Phoenix continents.
Furthermore, his cultivation base had soared as well, becoming a powerful Grotto-Heaven state supreme being.
Before he was killed by us, he was really someone who could call the wind and summon the rain.
If he didn't have the support of the Sacred Dynasty, he wouldn't have had the terrifying achievements he has today just by relying on his own efforts. "
"So Sun Shang actually has such a history."
Ling Xiao had always thought that Sun Shang was born and raised in the Heavenly Dragon Continent and had never left that place.
The Moon Maiden said casually, "That's right. Whether it's cultivation or alchemy, it requires a lot of money.
Even for someone with extremely high talent in medicine, if they lacked the support of an endless supply of medicinal ingredients, it would still be difficult for them to achieve results.
Many genius martial artists were delayed when they were young, and when they reached a certain age, they lost their innate advantages and became mediocre.
Alchemists needed medicinal ingredients to concoct pills. If they spent all their time on this, where would they find the time to improve their abilities?
If they had a rich backer to provide them with ingredients, then it would be different. They could completely focus on concocting pills and not worry about anything else.
The Alchemy Conference is actually to find rich backers who can support you. Many alchemists have the same idea. "
"Hehe, Sister Moon Maiden, what you're talking about has nothing to do with me."
Ling Xiao had the Mountain River Martial Spirit. While others needed tens of thousands of medicinal ingredients to practice, he only needed one set.
He was only 17 years old, and it had been less than two years since he started learning alchemy. However, his current achievements were no worse than Sun Shang's before he died.
Therefore, to him, large amounts of medicinal ingredients were meaningless unless they were used to concoct pills.
Moreover, he was now the Celestial Emperor of the Celestial Empire. He had such a huge empire behind him. Adding on the Heavenly Dragon Trading Company's Princess Yun Ya's help, it was not impossible for him to get medicinal ingredients.
Speaking of medicinal ingredients, he suddenly thought of something.
This time, he came to the City of Sin with another purpose. He wanted to get as many medicinal ingredients as possible and concoct enough pills to increase the overall strength of the Dark Thorn and the Divine Capital's guards.
Compared to the Imperial Jade Seal, this was also very important.
Although he could not rely on pills, it would not do if he did not use them at all.
"We've arrived at the Black Wind Tower!"
The three of them chatted as they arrived in front of the Black Wind Tower.
Looking at the Black Wind Tower, which was so tall that its peak could not be seen, Ling Xiao could not help but reveal a surprised expression.
This Black Wind Tower was not simple.
The power behind the Black Wind Tower was not simple either.
"Let's go in and take a look. Let's see what's so special about this so-called strongest auction house on the Divine Phoenix Continent."
Ling Xiao had a feeling that he would definitely be able to find the Imperial Jade Seal in this trip to the City of Sin.
This feeling became even stronger the moment he entered the Black Wind Tower.
The three of them stepped onto the bluestone paved road. It was flat and clean, and there was not even a trace of debris.
Under the hawk-like gaze of the Black Wind Tower's guards, Ling Xiao and the other two stepped into the Black Wind Tower.
Compared to the bustling atmosphere on the black street, the inside of the Black Wind Tower was much quieter.
Even though there were many people, everyone kept quiet and did not dare to speak loudly.
From the black street to the Black Wind Tower, there was only a door between them, but it was like heaven and earth. The difference was really big.
Inside the Black Wind Tower, there was no cold wind. Instead, it was very warm.
When Ling Xiao saw the layout inside, his eyes suddenly went out of control.
In the entire hall, all the counters were made of crystal and gold. Not only were they beautiful, they were also very high class.
There were also guards inside the Black Wind Tower, but they were all in plain clothes and did not wear any special uniforms.
However, Ling Xiao could tell from their expressions and eyes that these people were definitely from the Black Wind Tower.
The moment Ling Xiao and the other two stepped into the Black Wind Tower, at least a hundred gazes swept over them.
After a moment, these very uncomfortable and nervous sharp gazes gradually moved away.
"Say, who do you think is the boss behind the scenes of the Black Wind Tower? I don't believe it's the Black Python Clan. Does the Black Python Clan have such a big lineup? "
Ling Xiao rubbed his chin and asked in confusion.
"The Black Python Clan's Great Master is the boss of the Everlasting Joy Celestial Island. With the support of the Everlasting Joy Celestial Island, even the Black Crow Empire, Divine Phoenix Empire, and Emerald Ripple Island do not dare to provoke them easily. Master, you can't underestimate him."
Cold Plum reminded.
In order to become Ling Xiao's most capable assistant and not just a helper, Cold Plum could be said to have put in a lot of hard work. At the very least, in her spare time when she was cultivating, she still looked up a lot of information related to the City of Sin.
It was not a coincidence that she was able to say these things this time.
