Chapter 24-25 Stormy Weather (Revised)

  Mo Xin heard about Yalish's matter a few days after he left Tianhai City, when he was heading to the Ficks Advanced Magic Martial Academy of the Shenlong Empire.

  Since it's been decided not to return to the Imperial Capital, then some things should also be set in motion now.

  Mo Xin's first priority was to find the hidden information about this world on the Dragon God Continent. Because no matter what Mo Xin wanted to do, he had to have a certain understanding of this world.

  Most of these things are undoubtedly in the hands of several superpowers on the Dragon God Continent, such as the Four Great Empires, the Church of Light, the Dark Tribunal, Long Island, and the Elf Tribe.

  These forces are among the ones with the longest heritage, and they definitely won't be short of secret information related to the Dragon God Continent.

  But for now, Mo Xin didn't have the idea of directly finding these powerful forces, not because he couldn't provoke them, but because it wasn't necessary.

  In a short period of time, he will not make a high-profile appearance in front of these major powers.

  As for Long Island, Mo Xin's interest was relatively great, and like all alchemists, he also coveted the top-grade alchemy materials on the bodies of those giant dragons on Long Island.

  Only Mo Xin didn't know the exact location of Long Island, and going out to sea to search everywhere would take too much time. He did know that the ocean outside the Dragon God Continent was very large.

  If there's an opportunity to go to Long Island, Mo Xin will absolutely not let it slip away.

  As for how to get those top-quality materials from the giant dragons, let's talk about it when we arrive at Dragon Island. Mo Xin was very confident that he would return with a full load and also bring back a few giant dragons as guardians for the Mo family.

  Retreating to seek a secondary option, Mo Xin's gaze then fell upon the Ficks Advanced Magic Martial Academy of the Divine Dragon Empire.

  Ficks High Magic Academy is one of the three best academies on the Dragon God Continent, the other two being the Bright Empire's Bright High Magic Academy and the Caesar Empire's Yak High Magic Academy.

  Ficks Advanced Magic Academy is located in Ficks City, northeast of the Divine Dragon Empire, near the Beast Mountains, and is also the only one of the three advanced magic academies that is not in the imperial capital. The Yak High School of Magic is in Caesar City, the capital of the Caesar Empire, and the Bright Advanced School of Magic is in Bright City, the capital of the Bright Empire.

  Ficks Senior Magic Martial Academy was founded by the first principal, Law God Ficks, shortly after the founding of the Divine Dragon Empire. Originally, Ficks City was just a small city, but after tens of thousands of years of development, Ficks City is now one of the most famous ten major cities in the Divine Dragon Empire.

  These three advanced academies have a history of tens of thousands of years, with incredible strength, and each year they recruit young people under the age of twenty with talent from all over the Dragon God Continent, including beastmen.

  However, the entrance exams are very difficult and at least a level 4 proficiency is required to pass.

  Having fourth-level strength at twenty years old or younger means that one's innate talent for cultivation is quite good.

  In the three academies, students are generally required to study for ten years. If they reach level 7 before completing ten years, they can apply for graduation. However, if they have completed ten years, regardless of whether they have reached level 7 or not, they must graduate and leave the academy. Of course, they can apply to stay on as a teacher and continue to cultivate while teaching.

  Most students who graduate from the three colleges have a strength of around level 7, with only a few exceptionally talented individuals having level 8 strength. Level 9 powerhouses have also appeared, but they are extremely rare. Because there are really not many students who can focus on cultivating in college for ten years, some geniuses usually leave college after reaching level 7 or 8 and join the empire or become mercenaries.

  After graduating from the three colleges, students will be vigorously recruited by various empires and kingdoms, rising to prominence and becoming nobles of various empires and kingdoms. Therefore, the influence of the three colleges on the mainland is extremely high.

  Most of the former principals of Ficks Advanced Martial Academy were top-level strongmen, and there must be some secret materials in the academy, especially about super-top-level strongmen. Mo Xin knew more about Ficks' history, many of whom eventually disappeared, their whereabouts being what Mo Xin was interested in, which was also the main reason for choosing Ficks Academy as the first stop.

  Getting those confidential documents was also Mo Xin's purpose in going to Ficks Academy.

  As for Yalish's matter, Mo Xin didn't know the whole process, but he could infer a general idea.

  Alicia's poisoning symptoms, others don't know why, Mo Xin won't be unaware.

  Alyssa had never practiced magic or internal energy, and the first time she took a large dose of Xiao Xian Rou Dan, she couldn't quickly dissolve the medicinal effect of the dan, so some adverse reactions naturally appeared.

  Since no one has linked this matter with Mo Jia, there is no need for Mo Xin to pay attention to it anymore.

  Since Mo Ge has lent a hand, he'll see it through, no big deal.

  Anyway, those elixirs were left for Mo Jia by him, as long as there weren't any major issues, Mo Xin didn't want to interfere with Mo Jia's affairs.

  From the whole process of things, Mogga's performance is still satisfactory for him.

  Not too stupid, although the method is quite clumsy, but it's somewhat useful, Mo Xin thought.

  And Mo Jia's actions this time also gave Mo Xin some of her own thoughts.

  Why not stir up the water a bit, although Mo Xin doesn't want to provoke these powerful forces for the time being, but he can lure them out and take a look, which is also beneficial for him to know himself and his enemies.

  To be exact, Mo Xin thought of trying out just how deep the waters of this world were.

  And this time, Mo Jia has come up with something that is a very good opportunity, and Mo Xin was going to take advantage of it anyway.

  Chapter Twenty-Five: The Wind Rises and Clouds Gather

  Since he wanted to see how deep the water was in this world, Mo Xin's next move came quickly.

  On the way to Ficks City, Mo Xin passed through the territory of one of the four major families of the Shenlong Empire, the Doug family. In the main city of the Doug family's territory, Melon City, Mo Xin made his move.

  In Mellon City, Mo Xin transformed into an old man in black and entered the Xinglong Auction House's branch in Mellon City, the largest auction house in the Divine Dragon Empire.

  Xinglong Auction House is also one of the top four auction houses on Longshen Continent, backed by the Imperial Family of Shenlong Empire and several other families. Xinglong Auction House has branches in larger cities within Shenlong Empire, with considerable strength and reputation. Therefore, Mo Xin chose Xinglong Auction House to auction off his items.

  "I want to see the person in charge here."

  Mo Xin entered the Xinglong auction house and directly said to the receptionist in the front hall.

  Xinglong Auction House is extremely powerful, and all the receptionists who accept auctions are seventh-level strongmen.

  Mo Xin's voice and appearance seemed somewhat aged, but the dense and reserved magical aura on his body made the receptionist at the entrance hall of Meilong City's Xinglong Auction House dare not ignore Mo Xin's words.

  "Master, please wait a moment, our person in charge will be here soon." The receptionist said with great respect.

  Something that a powerful magician, possibly even a saint-level magician is auctioning off wouldn't be too shabby, and directly finding the person in charge is also a very ordinary thing.

  Although such things are not common, they are not unheard of either.

  In the Dragon God Continent, the strong can gain respect anywhere.

  The person who received Mo Xin soon brought the person in charge of Meilongcheng Xinglong Auction House.

  "Master, I am Daryl, the person in charge here. Is there anything I can help you with?"

  Daryl rushed over as soon as he received the news and said respectfully to Mo Xin.

  Daryl was the person in charge of the Xinglong Auction House in Mellon City. As a 9th-level wind-elemental grand magician, he naturally knew that the old man in front of him was a saint-level fire-elemental magician and also a strong saint-level powerhouse.

  "I want to auction off some things."

  Mo Xin said directly and took out ten small bottles from his own spatial ring, each of which contained a small washing marrow pill that Mo Xin had prepared.

  "What is this?"

  Darryl asked in some confusion.

  "Alchemical pills can improve a person's cultivation aptitude and accelerate the cultivation speed of those below the sixth level."

  Mo Xin explained.

  "This..."

  Daryl's face involuntarily flashed a hint of surprise, but thinking about the strength of the person in front of him made him somewhat uncertain.

  Recently, the capital's rumors about Yalish have spread throughout the Dragon God Continent, and although no one has found out the reason behind it, it has made people realize that changes in cultivation aptitude are not impossible. This makes Dariel believe Mo Xin's words a little more.

  Of course, Mo Xin wouldn't have failed to notice Dariel's change in expression. If he hadn't pretended to be a Saint-level magician, he might have been taken for a swindler and thrown out.

  Dariel's reaction didn't bring Mu Xi any displeasure, which was also a normal reaction. After all, the Dragon God Continent had never seen anything like this before.

  "You take out one of the pills and try its effect. The remaining nine pills will be auctioned off after the pill's effect is verified. Any questions?"

  Mo Xin didn't mean to make things difficult for Daryl either, he wasn't a petty-minded person.

  As long as you don't intentionally cross his bottom line, he's usually quite easy-going.

  "Don't worry, Master."

  When Dariel heard Mo Xin's tone was so affirmative, and didn't seem to be making things difficult for himself, his expression became somewhat relaxed. After all, Dariel didn't want to casually offend a powerful Saint-level magician. Even the Xinglong auction house wouldn't easily offend a Saint-level expert. Each Saint-level expert had lived for over a hundred years, who knew if they had other relationships with other Saint-level experts? If they weren't careful, they might provoke a group of Saint-level experts.

  According to Mo Xin's words, if the pill is fake, Xinglong Auction House will not suffer any losses. If the pill is real, Xinglong Auction House will definitely make a fortune and its reputation in Longshen Continent will increase greatly.

  Daryl understood that if these pills were real, selling them at sky-high prices would be no problem.

  "I have only one request, I want everyone in the entire Dragon God Continent to know about this auction."

  Mo Xin said, his intention was to go fishing, so he had to cast a wider net.

  "This is no problem, Xinglong Auction House can definitely make it happen."

  Darry naturally wouldn't refuse Mo Xin's small request. He knew that the more people who bid, the higher the price would be, which was only human nature.

  Daryl was somewhat puzzled by Mo Xin's intention of taking out these elixirs for auction, but he wouldn't be foolish enough to ask about it. He knew the principle of not asking what shouldn't be asked.

  A Saint-level powerhouse and a Ninth-level powerhouse seem to have only one level of difference, but among a thousand Ninth-level powerhouses, it is difficult for even one Saint-level powerhouse to emerge, which can give you an idea of the difference between them.

  In terms of strength, normally a Saint-level early-stage powerhouse can handle more than a dozen Peak Ninth-level powerhouses without any problem.

  "The auction money, you guys help me take it, help collect some 9th grade and above magic cores, and some precious alchemy materials. As for the handling fee you deserve, deduct it from the middle."

  Mo Xin continued.

  Mo Xin couldn't stay in Meilong City for much longer. This matter would take at least three to four months to conclude, and he wouldn't waste all his time here.

  Once the effect of the medicine is confirmed to be true, he will inevitably be investigated by a large number of people, which is troublesome, so it's better to leave early.

  As for the money from the auction, Mo Xin wasn't very concerned about it either, just a few small Washing Marrow Dan, of course if Xing Long Auction House or Dariel dared to embezzle, Mo Xin wouldn't mind flattening the entire Xing Long Auction House.

  Although Mo Xin often avoids some things in order to save trouble, this does not mean that he dares not kill people.

  "This is also no problem."

  Daryl said with a smile, this kind of business of helping to collect materials is also often accepted by Xinglong Auction House.

  Darryl also naturally understood why Mo Xin dared to put a large sum of money here - it was because he had great strength.

  "Alright, I'm leaving. Next time I come back, it'll be when I come to take things." Mo Xin said.

  "Okay."

  Darryl respectfully escorted Maude out of the auction room.

  "Diyou, report this matter back to headquarters and prepare to test the effect of the medicinal pill."

  After Mo Xin left, Daryl quickly turned back into a sharp and capable person in charge, rapidly assigning tasks to be carried out.
