  Looking at the brand new suction cup pattern in front of him, Xiao Hong suddenly had a wicked idea in his mind, to leave this one for himself and give the used one to Luo Xue Ning?

  However, after thinking about it again, Xiao Hong quickly dispelled this idea. The reason was that Luo Xue Ning had a good relationship with him, and taking advantage of his friend's convenience would be too unrighteous.

  "Alright...I'll let you off easy." Xiao Hong muttered to himself, and then placed the brand new suction cup magic pattern into an ordinary wooden box.

  He casually put the wooden box aside, and Xiao Hong began to prepare a new generation of Blood Refining Solution Powder. Along with this Blood Refining Solution Powder, there was another Dan, called Blood Refining Dan.

  The effect is roughly the same as that of Blood Refining Solution, but whereas Blood Refining Solution works from the outside in, Cultivated Dan works from the inside out. It's like a two-pronged approach.

  Apart from this, Xiao Hong still had to continue making healing tattoos and other emergency medicines. In short, Xiao Hong's afternoon was fully scheduled.

  Until eight o'clock in the evening, when the sky had completely darkened, Xiao Hong and Luo Xue Ning exchanged a greeting to confirm that she was available, before Xiao Hong got up to prepare to send over the suction disk pattern and conduct a transaction at the same time.

  He put the things he was going to trade into his backpack, Xiao Hong thought for a moment, and finally took out the hidden travel cloak from the corner of the shopping bag and put it on.

  Luoxue Ning asked Xiao Hong to go to the No. 1 dormitory area to find her, facing Mo Xuan, Ma Kao and the people of the Holy Temple Knights, obviously only Quan Cang's identity was the most suitable, first, Quan Cang's identity had a deterrent effect, secondly, Quan Cang was Luoxue Ning's senior brother.

  Slowly putting on the most iconic five-pointed star glasses, Xiao Hong took a look in the mirror and made a deep and introverted pose, feeling that it was still okay. Then, he picked up his backpack, turned around and walked out of the bedroom, and quietly slipped into his own magic car, heading straight to the Xizhen Magic Academy.

  Arriving at Xizhen Mofeng Academy, taking advantage of the night color to park the magic pattern car in a quiet corner, Xiao Hong stepped down from the magic pattern car and quietly approached the No. 1 dormitory area as much as possible.

  In his heart, he kept telling himself over and over again, I am a master... I am a master...

  "Halt! Who goes there? Back off!" Just as Xiao Hong had arrived near the No. 1 dormitory area, such a voice suddenly rang out. Through the faint night color, Xiao Hong could see that two Berol soldiers had raised their tattooed rifles, aiming at him.

  Due to this special period, the vigilance of the Berossus soldiers is extremely high.

  In such a situation, ordinary people usually raise their arms, put on an innocent expression, and then say their name, identity, and purpose.

  But Xiao Hong thought for a moment, he was now the authority, putting on this act would obviously be too cheap.

  "I'm here looking for Ning'er." Xiao Hong's voice was low and husky, and he slightly raised his head, the movement light, but giving off an air of superiority.

  "Ning Er?" At the mention of this name, the two Beross soldiers were somewhat taken aback. However, when Xiao Hong slightly raised his head, the outline of the two five-star insignia instantly appeared in the eyes of the two Beross soldiers.

  Pentagram sunglasses!

  Such a clear emblem, they naturally knew who it was, and their expression changed instantly. The originally high-held magic tattoo rifle also relaxed slightly.

  "Your... Your Excellency." One of the Bailu soldiers stuttered, his originally ferocious expression suddenly changing to one of shock and reverence. At this moment, they seemed to have also reacted, wasn't Ning'er precisely General Luo?

  The expressions of these two soldiers changed, Xiao Hong naturally saw clearly, however, Xiao Hong also did not have too much reflection, giving people the feeling that the expressions of these two were what they should be.

  He took a step forward and came before the Beross soldiers. Xiao Hong slightly raised his hand, pointing inside: "Take me to see her."

  The sentence is concise and unparalleled, which is also learned from Sang Hongyun. For those who are lower than themselves in status, they never waste words.

  "One of the Berossus soldiers hesitated, wondering what kind of identity Kaito had. He knew better than to block him, but letting him in like this wasn't right either."

  "Please wait a moment, Your Excellency. I'll report to her right away." One of the Bellows soldiers said with extreme respect before turning around and contacting Rosetta through the communication tattoo.

  It's said that Kuang Cang and Luo Xue Ning also gave face, hastily responding: "Quickly, quickly, please come in!"

  Luoxue Ning's purpose was very simple, which was to support Quan Cang as much as possible and make everyone have some scruples about Quan Cang.

  "Sorry to keep you waiting, sir," a Beronian soldier said with utmost respect, then made a slight "please" gesture towards Xiao Hong.

  Xiao Hong didn't respond again, and quietly placed one hand behind his back, following closely behind the soldiers of Beiluo.

  At this moment, Luo Xue Ning is discussing the details of the sudden attack on He Zhi, especially how he died. It's almost as if it's a mysterious existence, after all, at that time, there were hardly anyone who could reach such strength.

  Just then, after two knocks on the door, Xiao Hong walked in slowly.

  Seeing Quan Cang appear, Mo Xuan and Ma Kao, who were sitting on the sofa, slightly moved their expressions. Before that, Quan Cang's reputation had already made them well-known, but it was always a legendary existence. At such close range, under bright lights, this was the first time.

  As for whether Quanzang was a disciple of Amiro, Mo Xuan deeply believed it without a doubt. However, Ma Kao had some slight suspicions. He held a relatively high position in the Empire of Repentance, but he had never heard that Amiro had such a disciple.

  "Master brother, you're here. Is what I wanted ready?" Luo Xue Ning really put on a young and cute appearance, sweetly saying.

  At this time, Luo Xue Ning's deputy was also very sensible and had prepared a beautifully crafted sofa for Xiao Hong, placing it in the main seat. After all, as Luo Xue Ning's "Shixiong", Quan Cang's status here was naturally the highest, and even Ma Kao couldn't compare to him.

  Xiao Hong didn't hesitate and slowly sat down, then took out a wooden box with suction cup patterns from the wooden box and pushed it to Luo Xue Ning.

  Lu Xue Ning glanced at Xiao Hong and opened it to take a look. Her expression changed slightly, and she could clearly feel that Xiao Hong's grasp of the pattern had deepened.

  On the side, Ma Kao couldn't see clearly what kind of magic pattern was in the box, but he still noticed Amiro's signature technique - the bottom pattern.

  Her eyes flickered slightly, and she thought to herself: Could it be that this Quan Cang is actually a disciple of Amiro who is unknown to the world? However, from their past interactions with Luo Xue Ning, it seemed that Luo Xue Ning had never looked down on Quan Cang before. Now, seeing these two people, they seemed like old acquaintances, could it be that Quan Cang was just an alias?

  "Unexpectedly, Master's craftsmanship has improved again, thank you for your help." Lu Xue Ning said in a very cooperative tone, with an air of being a well-behaved girl, as if she were really Xiao Hong's younger sister.

  Even Xiao Hong was deeply convinced by Luo Xue Ning's acting skills.

  Of course, at this time, Xiao Hong did not forget the purpose of this trip: "I have some valuable little things in my hand, I don't know if Shifu's sister is interested?"

  "What's going on?" Luo Xue Ning was somewhat perplexed, Xiao Hong gave him a provocative look, this was still within Luo Xue Ning's expectations, but when Xiao Hong struck this pose, she was taken aback.

  Ma Ke's eyes also flashed a hint of brightness, and once again focused on Xiao Hong. It can be said that from start to finish, Xiao Hong's words and deeds were quite in place, with very few words and no extra movements. Little did he know, that was just a replica of Sang Hongyun.

  Xiao Hongye didn't beat around the bush and directly threw the wooden box onto the coffee table: "Take a look, how much are they worth?"

  Lu Xue Ning and Ma Ke glanced at Xiao Hong, then shifted their gaze back to Lu Xue Ning.

  Luoxue's heart was filled with doubts, but she carefully opened the wooden box, inside which were randomly placed more than twenty magic patterns, with the high-level ones placed on top.

  "What's wrong?"

  "Old."

  Ma Kao and Mo Xuan expressed such doubts one after another, but in the next moment their expressions suddenly changed!

  Because they suddenly recognized one of the driving-level magic patterns as He Zhi's! The guy they investigated for half a day and still didn't figure out the cause of death.

  How did He Zhi's magic needle end up in Quan Cang's hands?

  At this moment, it was a common thought in the minds of Luo Xue Ning, Ma Kao and Mo Xu.

  Ma Ke and Mo Xuan seemed to understand at the first time that He Zai was likely to die in Quan Cang's hands. Quan Cang brought these things, rather than saying it was a transaction or something, but rather telling them in another way that He La died by his own hand.

  But Luo Xue Ning, who knew the truth, was even more suspicious. She understood Xiao Hong and knew his true strength. Taking down He Qi, Xiao Hong didn't have that ability, but how did He Qi's things end up in Xiao Hong's hands?

  "These things, if Shifu's sister likes them, can be sold cheaply for 3000 gold. It's very cheap. As for this one, it will be a bit more expensive." Xiao Hong glanced slightly at the three people on the sofa, his movements were not chaotic at all, and he slightly stretched out his hand to take out the Blood Blade War Pattern from the magic pattern bag and placed it on the tea table.

  Hezhi's permanent war pattern? !

  He had a thorough understanding of He Zhi previously. When he saw the permanent battle scars on He Zhi and Ma Kao, his heart suddenly moved. No, even if they held high positions, even if they were generals in the army, but seeing those permanent battle scars, no one wouldn't be moved, because such things were really too rare.

  Moreover, it's not something that can be bought with money, but rather the core of a warrior's lifelong struggle.

  Even among the Templar Knights, most of the Knight-level members have not yet acquired a permanent battle pattern that comes naturally to them.

  For this thing, Luo Xue Ning still lacked a bit, but for Ma Kao it seemed to have become an enormous temptation.

  "Unexpectedly, Master Brother has become rich, I just hope he won't bully his sister too much." Luo Xue said with a smile, but her heart was already in turmoil. She dared to be certain that He Qi was not killed by Xiao Hong? Then who could it be? Who could kill a master-level figure so cleanly and efficiently?

  Darkness!

  Such speculation began to grow stronger in Luo Xue Ning's heart.

  Chapter 216

  Clue!

  "Master-level permanent battle tattoos, but the price is sky-high, I don't know how much Master will charge? Don't be too black-hearted, okay, I don't have that much money left either." Luo Xue said with a smile, and it was indeed true, having just compensated a large sum of condolence money, which was an astronomical figure.

  "Money is temporarily not needed, I want things, very cheap, it's the full set of materials to become a coach." Xiao Hong replied softly.

  Luoxue Ning's expression didn't change upon hearing this, a permanent Master-level war pattern and a full set of Master-level materials could be said to be basically an equivalent exchange.

  It's hard to say who is cheaper and who is more expensive.

  And as for the permanent war pattern, it can be said that it is always in short supply, no matter who gets it. However, there is one thing that makes Luo Xue Ning a bit embarrassed, which is that she doesn't have all the materials to become a master, at least not with her. If they were to be transported from headquarters, it would take at least several weeks.

  "I'm still very interested in exchanging, it's just... I don't have it with me, I don't know if Shixiong can wait for a few weeks." Luoxue Ning said softly.

  "General Luo, if you don't mind, can I have this battle emblem?" Before Xiao Hong could react, Ma Kao suddenly spoke up and said: "In the Xiaoying number, there is a set of materials for becoming a charioteer, I suppose Quan Cang wants these materials, it should be for his apprentice."

  Xiao Hong didn't respond, but instead glanced at Luo Xue Ning, wanting to hear his opinion.

  To be honest, Luoxue Ning also wanted this permanent war pattern very much. He had many subordinates with permanent war patterns, but not many of them could obtain it through material exchange, and such opportunities were really rare.

  However, Ma Kao had a request, and Luo Xue Ning seemed to have nothing to say. The two of them had some friendship between them, and this time they were completely relying on Ma Kao's help. Directly refusing him would be somewhat too inhumane.

  "Ma Kao, senior, this is indeed a robbery. This permanent war pattern was prepared by my senior brother for me. However, since you've spoken up, I won't refuse. But it depends on my senior brother's intention. He's a very picky person when it comes to transactions." Luo Xue Ning said with a pretended unwilling expression, glancing at Xiao Hong, her hand under the tea table pointing at Ma Kao, then clenched into a fist.

  Such actions, Xiao Hong still understood, ruthless and powerful, the Knights of the Temple as the empire's absolute super main force army, absolutely wealthy and arrogant.

  "Then thank you General Luo for yielding, but I don't know, Lord Quan Cang, what do you think?" Ma Kao asked respectfully, his eyes fixed on Xiao Hong.

  It was able to make the high-ranking generals of the Knights Templar so respectful, Xiao Hong's mood was quite refreshing, however, Xiao Hong would not show this feeling on his face, but a very calm and collected expression.

  "This Ning Er, I've known her since she was wearing open-crotch pants, and our relationship is something you should understand. To be honest, this transaction is just a favor, and it seems that Mr. Ma Ke and I don't have any connections, so naturally, the favor doesn't apply. Of course, for Ning Er's sake, I'll continue to choose transactions with you, but I also hope that Ma Ke can show some sincerity." Xiao Hong said word by word, his tone calm, but with an air of superiority.

  However, when Luo Xue Ning heard this, she was full of helplessness. She couldn't believe that Xiao Hong dared to say anything, and estimated that when Luo Xue Ning wore open-crotch pants, Xiao Hong hadn't been born yet.

  "Sincerity? In this regard, Lord Guan may rest assured." With that, Ma Keo whispered a few words to his assistant beside him.

  In about half an hour, the assistant came back with two golden metal boxes in his hands, one large and one small, and then placed these two things in front of Xiao Hong.

  After opening it, Xiao Hong could clearly see that in the slightly larger box, there was a suit of armor, dark gray in color with black magic patterns on it, and a jet-black helmet, which looked a bit old but was actually brand new.

  In another box, there were two things loaded, two small crystal bottles, both the size of a thumb, with a black and light yellow solution stored inside.

  However, when Xiao Hong's gaze fell on the light yellow crystal bottle, his eyes suddenly moved, extremely familiar. No mistake, it was the solution with the "X" label that he had discovered before, even the faint green color inside was exactly the same.

  Isn't it related to the material for becoming a charioteer?

  Xiao Hong was secretly worried, but her demeanor didn't show any unusual signs.

  "This suit of armor, called the Fire-Scorched Dragon Armor, is made from the skin of a fire-scorched dragon and is paired with the magic patterns on it, allowing the wearer's body to withstand high temperatures without suffering any damage. Its defensive capabilities are also quite impressive, and it's extremely light, like feathers. As for these two bottles of liquid, the black one contains the bile of a mutated Soul-Devouring Dragon, a mutated beast of the Commander-level, while the light yellow one is the fat of a Black Crystal Beast." Ma Ke introduced, "The Black Crystal Beast is a rare creature that's almost exclusive to the Empire of Dupontan. Its habitat is limited and has been tightly controlled by the military. There's also a small area within the borders of the Kingdom of Weilin. Xiao Hong didn't know about it, which is normal, since the Black Crystal Beast has become something exclusively used by high-ranking military officers."

  "If you're planning on giving it to your apprentice, then all I can say is that your apprentice is a lucky one." Ma Keo added.

  In fact, it is also true that these materials are basically top-notch materials for becoming a coach, greatly increasing the success rate.

  With these things in exchange for the Blood Blade War Pattern, it can be said that Xiao Hong is absolutely not losing out, and Ma Ke's reason for taking such precious things is also a gesture of goodwill towards Quan Cang.

  After all, Amiro's disciples are the entire Kado United Body, and no one dares to offend them.

  "Not bad." Xiao Hong said with a hint of casualness, but his heart was already racing wildly. These things were absolutely what he had been wanting.

  "Since Master Guan has nodded, let's cooperate happily then." Ma Kao continued to smile and say, his words and actions were still quite polite.

  Dong dong dong.

  Just then, a faint knock at the door sounded, and a Templar detective entered with measured tread.

  "A few officials, just..." The scout's words were cut off halfway as his gaze fell on Xiao Hong, and the rest of his sentence was left unspoken.

  "Quan Cang is my senior fellow disciple, no need to be polite, just speak directly." Luo Xue Ning replied after glancing at the detective.

  "Yes, sir." The scout said, and then laid out a scan map on the coffee table. The scan map showed a panoramic view of a large area of wilderness training: "Sir, look here."

  The detector pointed to the north direction of the scan map, which was the Kassan Stone Forest. In the Kassan Stone Forest, there was a vague black spot under a giant rock.

  Seeing the black dots on the scan, Xiao Hong suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression changed subtly, fortunately, the five-pointed star eyes and mask covered up this subtle change in expression, which went unnoticed by anyone.

  Lu Xue Ning looked equally perplexed and asked in a low voice: "What is this?"

  The scout didn't answer immediately, and instead took out another high-definition enlarged photo and placed it in front of Luo Xue Ning. On the enlarged photo, a black shadow was seen lingering under a giant rock, seemingly heading southwest, slowly walking away.

  "It was him, no mistake, it was him who snatched the relic." Luo Xue Ning suddenly uttered such words, and naturally she couldn't forget the black shadow.

  It seems that Luo Xue Ning has somewhat understood now. The black shadow is very likely to be the real culprit who killed He Zhi, and Kassandra Forest is probably his hiding place.

  "Notify immediately, dispatch 50 Knights Templar to conduct a comprehensive search of the Casson Stone Forest, and another 100 people to search in the northwest direction of the Casson Stone Forest." Luo Xue Ning gave the order very decisively.

  "Understood." The scout responded and walked out.

  Xiao Hong didn't linger either, carrying two metal boxes and three 1,000-gold savings certificates, he slowly left.

  Just as Xiao Hong was about to get into his own magic car, the communication talisman in his arms suddenly transmitted a vibration.

  It was a message sent by Luo Xue Ning, the content is very simple: What did you get from the transaction? How much do you know about Hei Ying, can you tell me?

  "It was something I picked up when I was being hunted down, as for the black shadow's matter, I really don't know." Xiao Hong responded in a similar manner through information, his tone seemed very sincere, but in reality he was lying.

  Xiao Hong's reason for lying is simple. The appearance of the black shadow, Xiao Hong is clear, was to save himself. Presumably, exposure was also for this reason. If Xiao Hong now reveals information about the black shadow, Xiao Hong doesn't know what others think, but in his mind, he thinks it's a betrayal.

  No matter whether the dark shadow was good or evil, Xiao Hong couldn't tell, but Xiao Hong had a principle: never betray those who were kind to him. Even though he got along well with Luo Xue Ning, Xiao Hong could only silently apologize to her in his heart.

  At this time, Xiao Hong could also clearly see that dozens of members of the Temple Knights wearing night-traveling clothes had walked out of the No. 1 dormitory area and then disappeared into the darkness.

  Xiao Hong didn't pay attention to it either, or rather, he was powerless and couldn't help, so just wait and see what happens.

  With this idea, Xiao Hong drove directly to his home. No matter what, this transaction was a huge gain for Xiao Hong, an opportunity to become a master driver, which was a great expectation for him.

  Returning home, Xiao Hong changed into his usual attire and checked the remaining spiritual energy within him. Not wanting to waste it, he took out a bottle of Blood Refining Dissolution Powder and a Blood Refining Pattern Pill, entering the bathroom to cultivate for a bit and test the effects of the new generation Blood Refining Solution.

  The bathtub filled with hot water, after pouring in the new generation of Blood Refining Liquid Powder, the clear hot water instantly turned deep red, and a smell of material mixture also spread throughout the bathroom.
