Thousand Medicine Pavilion

Just as the two were talking, the soul of the Dou Ling was already bound by the strange chains of the black mist. When Xiao Yu and the other looked over, a black light flashed on the chains and directly enveloped the soul!

A foul laugh echoed from within the black mist. Xiao Yu quickly whispered in Xiao Yan's ear, "I'll use my Heavenly Flames to bind it in a moment. You use the Fallen Heart Flame to roast it. This evil creature disgusts me!"

After only a moment's thought, Xiao Yan nodded fiercely and said, "Alright, consider this a way of collecting some interest from it first. How dare it lay a hand on my teacher! I'll roast it!"

Seeing that the black mist was about to leave, Xiao Yu circulated his Dou Qi, and a Five-Star Dou Ling aura suddenly erupted. He stomped his foot hard on the sand, creating a three-inch-deep crater. A muffled sound came from the sand, but it didn't travel far under the cover of the Black Windstorm. Xiao Yu's figure then shot away.

"Hmm?" The black mist seemed to sense something was wrong and suddenly turned around, only to see a black-robed man with a blue and a white flame rising from his hands as he rushed towards him.

The black mist's expression changed drastically—no, it surged rapidly—and it roared angrily, "You're courting death!"

With a soft whoosh, a jet-black chain shot out from the black mist. Because of the strange weather, Xiao Yu could only rely on his Soul Power and the light from the flames in his hands to dodge the chain by sidestepping. With a wave of his hands, two fire whips formed by flames arrived in front of the black mist in an instant.

When the chain encountered the Heavenly Flames, it immediately made a sizzling sound. Xiao Yu saw with his own eyes the Heavenly Flames scorching the chain, producing a wisp of white smoke. A scream came from within the black mist, and the chain retracted in that instant.

Then, the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Bone Spirit Cold Flame in Xiao Yu's hand intertwined to form a large net, directly enveloping the black mist.

The Heavenly Flames has a deterrent effect on these peculiar creatures of the Soul Hall. Although it cannot cause them as much damage as the Fallen Heart Flame, these monsters cannot completely ignore the existence of the Heavenly Flames. The Soul Hall minions that Xiao Yu Heavenly Flames last time were also killed by Xiao Yu using the Heavenly Flames, but it was more because Xiao Yu was stronger. The Fallen Heart Flame is probably the best weapon to deal with the monsters of the Soul Hall!

Xiao Yan, who was behind him, also rushed out immediately. He put the giant ruler aside and used an invisible Fire Python in his hand to bite into the net of flames. When the Fallen Heart Flame landed in the black mist, the intense pain caused a painful scream to come from the black mist.

However, the screams were muffled by the Black Windstorm and could not travel very far. Even the black mist himself did not expect that he would be subdued by Xiao Yu and the other person in a single exchange.

After an unknown amount of time, a faint ray of sunlight suddenly shone down from the sky, particularly noticeable in the darkness. Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan were slightly taken aback. Xiao Yan coldly glanced at the black mist beneath the Fallen Heart Flame and said, "This time, let's give it a quick death!"

Xiao Yan gently clenched his fist, Fallen Heart Flame surged forth, instantly enveloping the black mist. Within a few breaths, the black mist turned to ashes and completely dissipated, allowing Xiao Yan to breathe a sigh of relief.

The whistling wind gradually subsided, the Black Windstorm was slowly passing by, and soon the sky cleared up again, as if the sky itself hadn't been the one that had just roared.

Duo Ma quickly found them and, seeing that they were unharmed, smiled and said, "It's a good thing you're alright. I was so worried when I realized you weren't in the carriage!"

Xiao Yan smiled slightly and said, "The Black Windstorm has passed, let's set off now!"

It was as if nothing had happened. Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan followed Duo Ma back, and soon the caravan set off again. Finally, at noon on the second day, they arrived at Black Seal City.

Looking at the vast city built of massive, black boulders, with caravans slowly passing through the city gates, Xiao Yan Xiao Yu, "This time it's relatively fast. Let's stay in Black Seal City for two days before returning to the Jia Nan Academy. The Inner Academy selection competition is coming up soon, Instructor Ruo Lin will probably be furious!"

Xiao Yu was slightly taken aback and said, "The Inner Academy Selection Tournament? Instructor Ruo Lin didn't say anything about me, did she?"

Xiao Yan slowly shook his head and said, "No, but Xun'er said she'd wait for you, and I'm free too. None of the three of us participated in the last Inner Academy Selection Tournament. Instructor Ruo Lin won't be able to advance to the Profound Tier Instructor!"

"I can make it back, don't worry. How could I not participate in something as interesting as the Inner Academy Selection Tournament?" Xiao Yu said with an embarrassed smile. He seemed to have already foreseen the way Instructor Ruo Lin's gentle face turned ashen with anger because of him. But thankfully, his strength was still up to par!

Xiao Yan shrugged and said helplessly, "You'd better take it easy. Your Dou Ling strength is definitely enough to get into the Inner Academy, but I'm afraid the Inner Academy might interfere in the Inner Academy Selection Tournament!"

Xiao Yu frowned and asked, "Can the Inner Academy Inner Academy Selection Tournament?"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but chuckle, "What do you think? With the strength of Five-Star Dou Ling, the Inner Academy might not even let you participate in the Inner Academy Selection Tournament, because it's pointless. Your strength and talent are enough to get you directly into the Inner Academy!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Yu felt they made sense. He stroked his chin, a glint in his eyes. He couldn't let the Inner Academy ruin his plans!

When Xiao Yan saw Xiao Yu's expression, his heart tightened. Having grown up with Xiao Yu, Xiao Yan Xiao Yu was quite familiar with him. Every time Xiao Yu showed this expression, it meant he was about to do something bad. However, Xiao Yan could only pray that he wouldn't run into those guys who were participating in the Inner Academy Selection Tournament with Xiao Yu!

Xiao Yan and Xiao Yu parted ways with Duo Ma at the city gate. After entering Black Seal City, Xiao Yan led Xiao Yu directly towards the Thousand Medicine Pavilion.

Xiao Yu looked at the impressive pharmacy, a strong medicinal aroma wafted towards him.

Xiao Yan turned to Xiao Yu and said, "This Thousand Medicine Pavilion is the largest medicine shop in Black Seal City. You can find many kinds of medicinal herbs here. Let's buy some herbs to make medicine first, and then go to the auction house. After all, you can't do without funds!"

Just as Xiao Yan was about to turn around, he bumped into a young man in white robes behind him. Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback, then immediately said, "Excuse me!"

Unexpectedly, a smile appeared on the young man's slightly pale face, and he suddenly opened his folding fan. The old man behind him suddenly sprang up, his hand forming an eagle claw as he grabbed at Xiao Yan's throat!

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes. This old man was Three-Star Dou Ling, and he was using a killing move right from the start. It was too unreasonable.

However, he reacted quickly, throwing a punch directly. His aura as Six Star Great Dou Master burst forth instantly. The young man's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure!
