In the spacious living room, Frank and Snow Charm welcomed Mo Yu and the others.
"Haha, Frank, you should thank me a lot today, otherwise your guests would have been turned away," Great Master Otto quipped as soon as he entered the door.
Hearing this, Frank seemed to guess something. He handed a cup of tea to Mo Yu and said apologetically, "Sorry, Mo Yu. I thought someone from the Ye Family would inform us before you came. I didn't expect you to come alone."
Waving his hand, Mo Yu chuckled, "The Ye Family is busy moving now. I'm afraid Blackrock City will only be a stronghold for the Ye Family in the future. As for the Ye Family's main base, it should be moving to Yan City."
Hearing Mo Yu's words, Frank also recalled what the young man in front of him had done, and suddenly said with some emotion, "I didn't expect that in just a month, you quietly accomplished this great deed."
The great deed Frank referred to was naturally the matter of Mo Yu uniting with the Ye Family to annihilate the Mo Family.
Mo Yu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The Ye Family mainly contributed a lot, otherwise, relying on just me and a Fourth Tier combat pet, I probably wouldn't be able to accomplish such a thing."
Great Master Otto, who was standing by, praised Mo Yu's humility and low-key demeanor. Then, he looked at the beautiful silver-haired girl beside him and said, "I think you can rest assured, Frank, if Snow Charm's matter is entrusted to Mo Yu."
As an old friend of many years, Great Master Otto naturally knew that Frank wanted to help Snow Charm break off her engagement.
At first, when he heard Frank entrusting the engagement cancellation to Mo Yu, he was somewhat skeptical about the young man, but now, with Mo Yu's growing fame, the old man no longer had any doubts.
Hearing this, Frank also smiled and nodded. The reason he asked Mo Yu for help was, firstly, because of the young man's extraordinary Artifact Refining skills, and secondly, because he possessed a Fourth Tier combat pet comparable to a Dou Spirit expert.
It now seemed that the young man's strength and methods greatly exceeded his expectations.
"Snow Charm, is he the one who's going to pretend to be your 'lover' and go with you to break off the engagement? I didn't expect him to be so handsome," Lin Fei walked over at some point and whispered teasingly to Snow Charm.
"What lover? He's just pretending to be a couple. It's just an excuse to break off the engagement. Don't talk nonsense," Snow Charm said, her pretty face flushing faintly with embarrassment and annoyance.
"Didn't you say that no one among the younger generation in Blackrock City could surpass you? Now he's appeared, and I remember what you said back then, it seemed to be…" Snow Charm's dark eyes darted around, and she suddenly said.
"Sorry, he's not from Blackrock City, and besides, I was referring to surpassing me in Alchemist techniques," Snow Charm's pretty face stiffened slightly, then a hint of slyness flashed in her beautiful eyes as she smiled sweetly at Lin Fei.
"You're ruthless…" Lin Fei snorted lightly, her jade hand smoothing the hair from her forehead, and chuckled, "But with his talent, and his Artifact Refining skills not inferior to Alchemist techniques, you'd be a good match for him. Although your teacher is one of the top figures in Blackrock City, you should also know, how powerful must his teacher be to Cultivate such a monstrous student?"
"I'm not interested in men for now. If you like him, go for it yourself. Isn't Great Master Otto also a famous Alchemist on par with my teacher? And your father is the City Lord of Blackrock City," Snow Charm smiled. Her calm words, however, made Lin Fei grit her teeth.
"Really? If I make a move, you won't fight me for him, will you? Such an excellent man is rare in the entire Jia Ma Empire," Lin Fei rolled her eyes playfully and suddenly giggled.
Qing Lin, who was standing by, listened to the two girls' teasing, and from the fragmented words, she seemed to understand Mo Yu's purpose for this trip.
Her small hands clenched tightly, Qing Lin looked at the young man in the field with her beautiful eyes, and secretly thought, Young Master won't fancy them. I will always stay with Young Master.
At this moment, after some conversation and pleasantries, when Mo Yu's destination was also the Mu Lan Empire, and he not only mastered Artifact Refining but also had some grasp of Alchemist techniques, Great Master Frank suddenly asked, "Mo Yu, how long will you be going to the Mu Lan Empire?"
"Perhaps half a year."
"Half a year, huh…" Otto tapped the table lightly with his fingers and chuckled, "In half a year, will you go to the capital of the Jia Ma Empire?"
"The capital?" Hearing this, Mo Yu was stunned. Thinking of Xiao Yan's three-year agreement, he slowly said, "If this trip goes smoothly, I should go there."
"Hehe," Otto said softly upon hearing this, "In half a year, this year's Alchemist Convention will be held in the capital. I think, if you have free time then, you could go and visit. Of course, if you are confident in your Alchemist techniques, you might as well participate. It will be of great benefit to you."
"Alchemist Convention?" Hearing this, Mo Yu recalled something in his mind. Unfortunately, the Fighting Qi Continent did not have an Artifact Refiner Convention, which was where he was most skilled.
"This Alchemist Convention not only gathers many Alchemists from the Jia Ma Empire, but even some Alchemists from other Empires on the continent will come to join the fun. This is a grand event in the Medicine World of several major Empires nearby. It would be a pity to miss it."
Hearing this, Mo Yu nodded. He didn't care about the Alchemist Convention, but if there was an opportunity, he might as well go and see the excitement.
After a while of pleasantries, Mo Yu and Frank agreed to depart for the Mu Lan Empire the next day, and then go directly with Snow Charm to the Liu family in West Desolate City, which was the Family of Snow Charm's fiancé, to break off the engagement.
Snow Charm's Family naturally disagreed with canceling the engagement, but like Nalan Yanran, Snow Charm and Frank decided to act first and inform their Family later, by going to the Liu family to break off the engagement first.
Compared to Nalan Yanran's compensation of a Fourth Grade Medicinal Pill, Qi Gathering Powder, for breaking off the engagement with the Xiao Family, Frank's compensation was equally good. Although he didn't have Gu He's excellent Alchemist techniques, he wasn't lacking in Fourth Grade Medicinal Pills.
For his good disciple, Frank painfully took out a Fourth Grade Medicinal Pill, the Tiger Strength Pill.
The Tiger Strength Pill, as its name suggests, has an extremely strong enhancing effect on the user's physical body and can permanently grant the strength of one tiger. Unfortunately, only one pill can be consumed at most, and the effects cannot be stacked.
However, even so, the value of this pill is no less than, or even stronger than, the Qi Gathering Powder, as the latter can only be used during the Dou Zhi Qi stage, while the Tiger Strength Pill has medicinal effects for Great Dou Master and even Dou Spirit experts.
Before departing, whether to show sincerity due to Mo Yu's rising fame or to prevent the young man from becoming greedy midway, Great Master Frank even gifted Mo Yu a Tiger Strength Pill.
This made Mo Yu pleasantly surprised, but he naturally accepted it without hesitation.
Coincidentally, his Cultivation of Dou Techniques had also stalled these days. Now with this Tiger Strength Pill, he could take this opportunity to condense a few more lightning patterns for his Lei Gang Body.
It should be known that the Major Achievement of the Lei Gang Body with a hundred lightning patterns is an Earth Rank Dou Technique. Once Cultivated, the physical body is even stronger than ordinary Demonic Beasts.
Mo Yu naturally valued this Dou Technique immensely.
Satisfied, Mo Yu accepted the Tiger Strength Pill and then stayed overnight with Qing Lin at the Alchemist Guild.
The next morning, Mo Yu and Qing Lin woke up early, preparing to depart for the Mu Lan Empire with Snow Charm.
However, at the entrance of the Guild, they saw an unexpected person.
"Young Miss Lin Fei, what are you doing here?"
Mo Yu was startled as he looked at the graceful girl who had come with Snow Charm.
"Nothing, Snow Charm is my good friend, I want to go with her to break off the engagement," the girl giggled, but the excitement on her face indicated that she seemed to be going on a trip.
Snow Charm's cold and delicate face beside her also flashed a hint of helplessness, clearly having no control over the latter.
Seeing this, Mo Yu also frowned. He already had a delicate maid, plus the already beautiful Snow Charm, and now Lin Fei was joining the fun. He could almost imagine how much hatred they would attract along the way.
Seeing that Old Man Otto didn't seem to intend to stop them, Mo Yu also muttered to himself, this was going abroad, weren't these guys afraid of accidents? Were they so trusting of him because of Purple Fire?
Shaking his head, since there were already two burdens, one more seemed to make no difference, so Mo Yu accepted Lin Fei's addition.
Amidst the girl's cheers, Mo Yu and his group walked out of the Alchemist Guild and then strode towards the flying transport located in the city center.
Although Purple Fire could substitute for a flying Demonic Beast, this trip was across national borders, so it was better to follow a professional flying team. Otherwise, if they flew to the wrong place and were mistaken for invading enemies, it would be difficult to explain.
After passing through several unfamiliar streets, about ten minutes later, Mo Yu and the others finally saw the flying transport company towering over a spacious square.
In the vast square, more than a dozen large flying birds were resting. These birds, named Thick-Winged Birds, were not considered Demonic Beasts but rather true birds. They were extremely gentle and easily tamed by humans. However, due to their scarcity, only Empires typically had the resources to establish such flying transport teams.
Although these Thick-Winged Birds were not as fast as other flying Demonic Beasts, they had excellent endurance. Once fed, they could fly at a stable speed for nearly four or five days. Moreover, these birds had excellent carrying capacity; a mature Thick-Winged Bird could easily carry five or six times its own weight for long-distance flights.
However, at this moment, next to each Thick-Winged Bird, there was a long queue, and even by the wooden ladder of the Thick-Winged Bird, one could see a uniformed person collecting tickets for boarding.
Seeing the long queue, Mo Yu also frowned. If they were to queue, it would probably take a while to buy a ticket.
Seeing this, Lin Fei immediately patted her ample chest and volunteered, "Leave this to me."
After speaking, without waiting for Mo Yu to reply, she walked towards the ticket hall in front.
Snow Charm, who was beside them, spoke in a timely manner, "Lin Fei's father is the City Lord of Blackrock City, so he knows many people."
Hearing this, Mo Yu nodded, not showing much surprise about the girl's identity.
Mo Yu's behavior caused Snow Charm's cold face to freeze slightly. All along, whether it was towards her or Lin Fei, the young man always maintained a lukewarm demeanor, yet he was kind and chatty towards the little maid beside him.
Although she hadn't developed any feelings for Mo Yu, as a woman, her self-esteem, both hers and Lin Fei's, believed their status and looks surpassed Qing Lin's. Yet, the young man was so unyielding, even less so than a small maid, so she naturally felt some dissatisfaction deep down.
Mo Yu naturally didn't notice the changes in Snow Charm's expression. He was watching Lin Fei walk towards the ticket hall. He saw the girl say a few words to a ticket seller, and then a manager, who seemed to be in charge, hurried over.
The manager's expression was very respectful. Amidst Lin Fei's impatient expression, he quickly pulled out several tickets from his bag.
After getting the tickets, Lin Fei waved her hand at the manager and then turned back.
"Here, these are tickets for the First Tier Demonic Beast, the Giant Roc. Its flying speed is much faster than the Thick-Winged Bird," Lin Fei raised her delicate chin, saying proudly.
Taking the tickets from the girl, Mo Yu caressed the tickets made from the special Demonic Beast fur, and couldn't help but sigh, the commercialization of this Fighting Qi Continent really had some similarities to his first life.
"In that case, thank you, Young Miss Lin Fei. Let's go," Mo Yu patted Qing Lin's head and chuckled.
Next, led by a ticket agent, Mo Yu and his group walked down a corridor, after which a giant bird-beast, not much smaller than a Thick-Winged Bird, appeared within everyone's sight.
Mo Yu's gaze swept over this somewhat fierce-looking giant bird-beast. Observing its aura, its level seemed to be only around the First Tier, but Mo Yu could feel the wind-attribute energy flowing around its body. Clearly, this was a wind-attribute flying Demonic Beast, and the flying speed of such Demonic Beasts was generally extremely fast.
On the back of the flying Demonic Beast, a house made of special wood was firmly built. This wood was extremely light and very sturdy, though its production was slightly scarce.
Inside the house, there were several small rooms, some of which were clearly already occupied.
And Mo Yu and the others' entry, especially the outstanding beauty of Qing Lin and the two girls, immediately attracted many fiery gazes. Mo Yu even heard many sounds of swallowing saliva.
Fortunately, Snow Charm and Lin Fei's identities served as a deterrent, and no one dared to provoke them recklessly.
Following the room numbers on their tickets, Mo Yu and the four of them went to their respective small rooms.
As for Qing Lin, she also returned to her room to rest at Mo Yu's request to no longer serve him.
After a quarter of an hour, the huge flying beast's wings slowly began to vibrate, and wisps of wind-attribute energy also swirled beneath it, lifting its massive body into the sky.
With a clear, sharp cry, the flying Demonic Beast, under the command of the beast tamer, suddenly soared into the sky, rapidly flying towards the Mu Lan Empire.
Sitting by the window in his room, Mo Yu looked at the faint clouds flying past outside. Deep in his memory, the distant words "airplane" suddenly emerged. He shook his head with a wry smile, shaking them out of his mind.
West Desolate City was quite a distance from Blackrock City. Even at the speed of this flying Demonic Beast, it would take at least three full days of flying to reach it.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Mo Yu slowly took out the Tiger Strength Pill. He decided to use this time to improve his strength.
