"This is just the beginning. In the next few days, I will keep refining alchemy in seclusion, and then start trying to fuse weapons. Although I don't know if I can succeed, I still want to try." Ling Xuewei said.
"Okay, just leave the other matters in the house to me. You can retreat in peace."
Ling Xuewei nodded, and then Xiao Yifeng left.
Ling Xuewei looked at the bottle in her hand, thoughtfully.
***
Ling Xuewei spent the next few days in seclusion.
After seven consecutive days like this, she finally came out of seclusion.
During this period, Xiao Yifeng had been standing outside the door. When he saw her coming out, he rushed to greet her.
When Ling Xuewei saw him, she slightly raised her lips and said, "It seems we can go to Qinglong Country in advance."
Xiao Yifeng's face showed joy and excitement.
Finally... the wait is finally here!
…
After resting for a whole night, Ling Xuewei completely regained her energy.
At the same time, Xiao Yifeng's injuries had mostly recovered after this period of recuperation, so the two of them were preparing to leave on the next day and go to Qinglong Kingdom.
Before setting off, Ling Xuewei explained the matters in her mansion. At the same time, in order to reassure her, Ling Yun specially dispatched a team of smart and capable soldiers to station in her mansion. This was also to protect Ling Yu and Zhang Xinlan.
After arranging everything, he took Snowball and Lightning with him and left the capital with Xiao Yifeng.
As usual, ten miles outside the city, Lightning revealed its true form, two people and one beast got on its back and flew away quickly!
Through the layers of white clouds, the whistling wind can be heard in my ears! Because it is early morning, you can even see the sun rising slowly in the east!
The sun shines on the clouds, creating a soft light that is dazzling!
"The scenery is so beautiful!" Ling Xuewei murmured.
Xiao Yifeng was also attracted by this magnificent scenery and couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, such a beautiful scene, I hope we will have the opportunity to see it again in the future."
The corners of Ling Xuewei's mouth turned up slightly, "I will definitely do it."
The two of them enjoyed this rare beauty. Because they didn't want to attract attention, they flew above the clouds. With the cover of the clouds, people below could hardly see them in the sky.
After flying like this for half a day, we left the Xuanyuan Kingdom.
Qinglong Kingdom is far away from Xuanyuan Kingdom, almost tens of thousands of kilometers away. Even if there is lightning, it will take three days to fly.
Furthermore, it was impossible for them to go without rest, so it still took them four days to reach Qinglong Country.
The capital of Qinglong Kingdom is Yunshui City.
This city covers an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers, almost equal to three Xuanyuan capitals, and has a population of tens of millions!
Because of the strength of the Qinglong Kingdom, trade is prosperous and there are many races. There are countless foreign mercenary groups and casual cultivators, and the various forces, large and small, are complex.
Ling Xuewei and the others' target this time is the Xiao family, one of the four major families in the Qinglong Kingdom.
There are four major families in the Qinglong Kingdom, namely the Xiao family, the Li family, the Zhao family, and the Ding family.
Among them, the Li family is the strongest and ranks first, followed by the Xiao family, while the Li family and the Ding family are equally powerful, temporarily ranking behind Li Xiao.
These four major families can be said to dominate the world in Yunshui City!
However, the four major families also restrict each other and restrict each other. Although they have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, they have always been peaceful and peaceful on the surface.
Ling Xuewei learned all this information from Xiao Yifeng.
At the same time, Ling Xuewei also learned that the strength of the heads of the four major families should not be underestimated, especially the heads of the Li family and the Xiao family, whose strength had already reached the level of Martial Lord Perfection.
He has thousands of disciples and has gathered many talented people.
Their influence is spread all over the Qinglong Kingdom, and there are many spies. So the two finally discussed that, for the sake of safety, they should disguise themselves and enter Yunshui City first, and then make plans.
Since arriving at the Qinglong Kingdom, the two of them gave up flying and took the Snowball instead. They usually stayed up during the day and went out at night. At night, the Snowball returned to its original shape and carried the two of them toward Yunshui City. This was also to avoid attracting attention.
People pay attention.
After a long journey, early this morning, the two finally arrived at their destination, Yunshui City.
Standing outside the towering city gate, Ling Xuewei couldn't help but sigh.
It is indeed a big country, and its momentum is far beyond that of Xuanyuan and Xiliang. Just the city gate, which is about dozens of feet high, shows its majesty and long history.
Like a giant beast dormant under the blue clouds, it may open its mouth and swallow you into its belly at any time.
"We're finally here..." Xiao Yifeng murmured, looking at the familiar city gate, a dark light flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, Ling Xuewei was still dressed in men's clothing, holding a cute pet on her shoulders and in her arms respectively, looking like a handsome nobleman who was traveling abroad.
Xiao Yifeng has changed a lot. In order to prevent the Xiao family from recognizing him, he deliberately changed his appearance and disguised himself as an ordinary-looking guard. At a glance, even people who are familiar with him may not be able to recognize him for a while.
"Let's go." Ling Xuewei patted him, and they led each other into the city.
The Qinglong Kingdom is indeed a big country, and the prosperity of its capital is lamentable.
The streets are so spacious that they can even accommodate seven or eight horse-drawn carriages traveling side by side! There are people coming and going on the cars, and there are countless shops, teahouses, and restaurants. It is rare to see street stalls like that.
The whole thing gives people a high-class feeling.
Ling Xuewei looked around and sighed in her heart.
It is worthy of being a century-old country. Just looking at the streets and the liveliness, it cannot be compared with the four countries. No wonder it has been able to stand on Tianxuan Continent for hundreds of years. It seems to be a prosperous ancient capital.
The two quickly shuttled through the streets. Under the leadership of Xiao Yifeng, they found an inn and stayed in it.
The inn was quiet and comfortable. Ling Xuewei came to the room, cleaned it briefly, changed into clean clothes, and then took Xueqiu and Lightning to meet Xiao Yifeng downstairs.
The two of them sat by the window, ordered a table of sumptuous dishes and started eating.
During this journey, we slept in the open air and finally managed to have a good meal. The two of them ate with open stomachs.
Soon, after a gust of wind and lingering clouds, Ling Xuewei patted her full belly and leaned on the chair to drink tea.
"It's still early. I'll go out for a walk later. How about you?"
Xiao Yifeng said, "I went out to inquire about the situation. I heard that the Lantern Festival of Qinglong Country is very lively these two days. Be careful when you go out and don't go too far."
After admonishing her a few words, Xiao Yifeng left.
Ling Xuewei didn't sit still for long before she went out with Xueqiu and Lightning.
There are gradually more and more people on the streets outside. You can see young men and women from aristocratic families going out everywhere, as well as merchants and people running around in a hurry. Of course, there are also some mercenaries, casual cultivators, and even some spiritual beasts.
There are all kinds of spiritual wolves, saber-toothed tigers, and thunderbirds. However, some ladies from aristocratic families prefer smaller and very cute spiritual beasts, such as civet cats and rabbits.
Even so, so many spiritual beasts walking safely on the street are a visual shock to people who come from afar.
Ling Xuewei looked around curiously. Because she looked like a handsome young lady and had two cute pets with her, she naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Ling Xuewei was used to this kind of gaze. She wandered around without squinting. When she saw interesting shops, she would go in and learn about the customs and customs of Qinglong Country.
In the morning, Ling Xuewei just finished shopping on the main street. Seeing that it was almost noon, she found a well-decorated restaurant and planned to have some lunch.
As soon as I entered, I was immediately greeted by a waiter, "Hello, sir! What would you like to use?"
Ling Xuewei glanced around the hall and found that this restaurant was unexpectedly popular. Almost the entire lobby was packed!
"Is there any room on the second floor?"
"My guest came just in time! There is still a seat by the window on the second floor. Do you need it?"
"Take me there."
"Okay, sir, please come in -!"
"I want this position! Waiter, take us there!"
Just when Ling Xuewei was about to go upstairs, suddenly a rough voice came from the door, and then she saw a group of big men walking in imposingly!
Judging from their attire, it was obvious that they belonged to some mercenary group or guild, and they all looked impressive!
Hearing what they said, the waiter was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, gentlemen, but the last seat on the second floor has been reserved by this young man. You see..."
"Stop talking nonsense! Just take us when I ask you to take us there! Why are you talking so much?!" a man in the leader shouted, which made the waiter's face turn pale in fright, and he hesitated and didn't know what to do.
At this moment, another middle-aged man walked in from the outside. When the group saw him, they immediately moved out of the way. It was obvious that this man was their leader.
"What are you all doing here?"
Ling Xuewei's sharp eyes easily saw a badge hanging on his chest, and then her eyes narrowed.
That is the unique badge of the White Bird Guild, and this person's badge is silver. It seems that his status in the White Bird Guild is not low.
Speaking of the White Bird Guild, it is actually one of the three major guilds in the Blue Dragon Kingdom.
To put it bluntly, a guild is actually an organization created by prominent figures from all parties. The person with the highest status in the organization is naturally the president. Of course, the president must also be the strongest person in the guild.
Next are the major elders, who manage various organizations under the guild, such as shops, restaurants, weapons shops, water transport trade, etc.
Each elder cooperates with each other and also restricts each other. Of course, the final decision-making power lies with the president.
Although the Guild does not have as long a history and strength as the Aristocratic Family, it should not be underestimated due to its rapid innovation and development of its system.
In the White Bird Guild, the badges held are naturally different depending on the status. The badges are roughly divided into three types, gold, silver and gray.
Gold is worn by the elders. Silver represents the inner disciples of the elders, while gray represents ordinary disciples.
The man in front of him wears a silver badge, which means that he is the direct disciple of an elder of the White Bird Guild, and his status is naturally not simple.
These were all told by Xiao Yifeng to Ling Xuewei on the way to the Qinglong Kingdom, so that she could understand the power of the Qinglong Kingdom as soon as possible.
