Hai Bodong tried to persuade Xiao Ling to stay, saying, "Master Xiao Ling, why don't you stay a few days longer at the Mitel family? That way, I can show my hospitality."
Xiao Ling politely declined, saying, "I appreciate Master Hai's kindness, but I have important matters to attend to,
so I can't stay any longer." Seeing Xiao Ling's resolve, Hai Bodong gave up trying. Besides, he himself was eager to take the Soul-Restoring Purple Pill and regain his strength.
After chatting for a while, the two parted ways.
Xiao Ling gently released his spiritual perception and instantly located Xiao Yixian.
She was in a private room at the Mitel auction house, while Yafei was at the auction table, introducing the next item.
Xiao Ling flashed and arrived in a matter of seconds. He gently pushed the door open. Xiao Yixian turned, her face immediately lit up with a delighted smile.
"Xiao Ling, how's everything going?" Xiao Yixian asked with concern.
Xiao Ling smiled and nodded, "The elixir has been successfully refined and will be handed over to Hai Bodong."
Meanwhile, Ya Fei had just finished introducing a precious treasure on the auction stage, and the audience erupted in bidding.
Little Medical Fairy said, "There are quite a few treasures at the Mitel Auction House."
Xiao Ling replied, "But most of them are of little use to us."
As they were talking, Ya Fei produced another mysterious item. With a charming smile, she said, "This next treasure is extremely rare."
Everyone's attention was drawn to the tray covered in red cloth, which was slowly lifted up.
Ya Fei gently lifted the cloth, and a strange light suddenly emanated. It turned out to be a crystal ball emitting a mysterious aura, with a light seemingly flowing within it.
"This crystal ball is said to come from ancient ruins. Its exact purpose is unknown, but one can sense the powerful energy within it," Ya Fei explained.
The audience began to chatter, and bids were placed, sending the price soaring.
Xiao Ling and Little Medical Fairy simply watched quietly from their private room, making no effort to participate in the bidding.
According to Xiao Ling's observations, this crystal ball was likely forged using a special technique on a third-level magic core. When activated, it could unleash a full-strength attack comparable to that of a peak Grand Fighter.
Eventually, the crystal ball was auctioned off to a middle-aged man for 50,000 gold coins.
Xiao Ling, having lost interest in staying here, returned to the courtyard with the Little Medical Immortal. At
Canaan Academy, atop a lush mountain behind, a graceful young woman in a pale green gown stood tall, a purple sash lightly cinched around her waist, framing her alluring form.
Facing the vast white mist beyond the mountaintop, her silky black hair flowed down her shoulders, only to reach her slender waist.
Standing with her hands behind her back, her slender figure, against the backdrop of the faint white mist, resembled a blooming green lotus amidst the mundane world, ethereal and radiant.
This woman, seemingly nurtured by the spiritual energies of heaven and earth, was a dazzling sight.
"Ding-ling..."

Suddenly, the clear, ethereal sound of bells echoed from the quiet mountaintop. A closer look revealed two tiny green bells dangling from the fair wrists of the young woman in green.
As the bells tinkled, a shadow somewhere behind the girl stirred, and an elderly figure emerged. The elder bowed respectfully to the girl and smiled, "Young Lady."
"Mr. Ling, you're finally back. Have you heard anything about Brother Xiao Ling?" The young woman slowly turned, her delicate, elegant face radiating a smile that instantly eclipsed all the flowers. The colors of the forest seemed to converge on her, drawing the gaze away.
Elder Ling bowed slightly and said, "Miss, I naturally heard the news and came back from the Gama Empire. With the help of Young Master Xiao Ling, the Xiao family returned to the Holy City of Gama, and Young Master Xiao Ling's cultivation even broke through to the Dou Huang realm!"
When the girl heard this, a light of surprise instantly blossomed in her beautiful eyes, and her voice trembled with excitement: "Really? Brother Xiao Ling broke through to the Dou Huang realm?"
Elder Ling smiled and nodded: "Absolutely true, Miss. According to reliable information, after returning to the imperial capital, Young Master Xiao Ling secluded himself for half a year and successfully broke through that bottleneck and was promoted to Dou Huang. Now his reputation in the Gama Empire is getting louder and louder."
The girl clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest and said happily: "That's great, Brother Xiao Ling is so outstanding, I knew he could do it."
Elder Ling seemed to remember something, and his face became a little weird, "Miss, there is something I don't know whether I should tell you or not."
The girl was slightly startled, frowned slightly, and said: "Old Ling, "Feel free to speak up."
Elder Ling hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "Young Master, according to what I've heard, Young Master Xiao Ling has two more young women besides Miss Zi Yan in the Jia Ma Empire. One is Qing Lin, a hybrid of snake-man and human, and the other is Xiao Yixian, formerly a physician in Qingshan Town. Both live in the same courtyard with Young Master Xiao Ling, and according to the Xiao family, their relationship is likely unusual."
The young woman's smile froze for a moment, a flicker of panic and unease flashing across her beautiful eyes, but she quickly forced herself to calm down and said, "Old Master Ling, don't believe those groundless rumors. Brother Xiao Ling isn't that kind of person." Elder
Ling hurriedly said, "Young Master, calm down. I'm only telling you the truth. Perhaps it's just a misunderstanding."
The young woman took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, I trust Brother Xiao Ling. I'll ask him everything when I see him."
Elder Ling nodded, saying no more.
The young woman turned and gazed into the distance, her mind swirling with thoughts.
The Jia Ma Empire.
Inside the room, Xiao Ling suddenly and without warning sneezed loudly. The sneeze was so violent it sent a slight shudder through his body. He frowned, muttering to himself, "Who's thinking of me?"
The Medicine Master, observing this, said with amusement, "Boy, is there a beautiful woman missing you?"
Xiao Ling rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "Medicine Master, please stop teasing me. I'm just thinking about something." The
Medicine Master stroked his beard and smiled, "Perhaps it's your childhood sweetheart. She heard about your achievements and is thinking of you."
Xiao Ling shook his head helplessly. "I think you're just making random guesses."
He then picked up the seventh-grade prescription in his hand and carefully read its contents.
Yao Lao, however, persisted. He approached Xiao Ling and said, "Don't take it lightly, kid. Sometimes telepathy can be quite accurate."
Xiao Ling, somewhat upset by Yao Lao's words, stood up and stretched. "Alright, alright, whoever it is, we'll know once we see them. It's been a while since I've seen Xun'er, though. It's time I went back to Canaan Academy."
