Chapter 220: Meeting Hai Bodong

This time, Xiao Ming did not bring the Amethyst Winged Lion King with him on their trip to the Imperial Capital but instead left it with the Xiao family.

The main reason for this was that the Amethyst Winged Lion King had just been reunited with its son, the little Amethyst Winged Lion, and he wanted them to spend more time together.

Additionally, as mentioned in the Simulator, there was a potential threat to the Xiao family, and leaving the Amethyst Winged Lion King there along with Xue Tian, a fifth-rank magical beast, would ensure that the family would not be caught off guard in case of an attack.Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

With both Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan being powerful figures in the Dou Ancestor and Emperor Realm respectively, traveling to the Imperial Capital would not pose a problem for them.

As nightfall approached, the Capital of the Jia Ma Empire, Jia Ma Sacred City, was brightly illuminated with people bustling about.

In the middle of a dark alley, Xiao Ming emerged, accompanied by Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian. They had just sneaked through the wall and entered the Imperial Capital.

Zi Yan was trailing behind Xiao Ming, holding several thumb-sized purple fruits in her hands which she was stuffing into her mouth and mumbling something from time to time.

Xiao Ming's eyes caught a glimpse of this scene and he couldn't help but reach out his right hand and pinch her cheek.

"Because of this handful of amethyst grapes, we lost half a day of our time and had to arrive here when the city gates were already closed. If not for that, why would we have had to sneak through the wall?"

Zi Yan, who had her cheek pinched, did not resist but continued to eat the fruit.

Xiao Ming shook his head helplessly.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yi Xian smiled and said, "Xiao Ming, now that we have entered the city, should we go directly to the Miteer family or spend the night at an inn before visiting them tomorrow?"

After listening to her, Xiao Ming said, "Neither, let's go to the Alchemist Association first."

"The Alchemist Association?" Xiao Yi Xian's eyes were puzzled.

Zi Yan, who was beside him, raised her eyebrows at these words and stopped eating the amethyst grapes to hurry and say, "I know, I know! We will go to the house given to Xiao Ming by the Alchemist Association. That house is not far from the Association itself."

"Look, someone's coming down!" Under the gaze of the crowd, a white-bearded old man stepped down from the carriage and looked at the door of Xiao Ming's house in high spirits.

As soon as the old man appeared, the surrounding environment suddenly calmed down, and the previous speculations immediately disappeared.

The old man first looked around indifferently, and then very politely gave his name to the doorman and was invited in.

As soon as the old man entered, a loud discussion broke out outside. "Did I see right? That's the Supreme Elder of the Miteer family, the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong!" A middle-aged man looked towards the door with a surprised expression.

When it came to the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, it could be said that there wasn't a single person in the Imperial Capital who didn't know him.

He had become famous decades ago, and although he had disappeared for a long time, since his return two years ago, the Miteer family had flourished.

Many people quickly thought of the key point. "Master Xiao Ming is really powerful, even a lone powerhouse like the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong has to be educated in front of him."

"The fact that the Ice Emperor is at the gate means that Master Xiao Ming has come to the Imperial Capital?"

"It is possible..."

...

Xiao Ming walked into the hall, saw the maid serving tea, and waved his hand for her to leave. Sitting on the main seat, he looked at Hai Bodong, who seemed to have aged quite a bit in front of him, and smiled, "The Miteer family is well informed. I only came back last night and you arrived today."

"It's nothing like that. You didn't hide it at all, did you? If I didn't know, the Miteer would be ashamed to be the head of the three great families. On the other hand, the other clans should already know, so after I leave, your place will soon be bustling with activity." Hai Bodong shook his head and said.

"I don't think the Ice Emperor came to see me today to catch up on old times. Your strength doesn't seem to have changed much over the years," Xiao Ming said slowly.

"Don't even mention it. The Dou Qi that was consumed after being sealed by Medusa is much harder to recover than I thought," Speaking of this, Hai Bodong was filled with helplessness.

"It's because of this matter that I have come to look for you. I have already gathered the materials for that Spiritual Recovery Purple Pill you mentioned back then, and I have also prepared the reward. I wonder when you can help me refine it?" At the end of his sentence, Hai Bodong rubbed his hands together expectantly.
