Maple City

On the edge of the boundless, wild mountains, a colossal city built of white boulders sits, resembling a giant beast lying across the earth, magnificent and majestic.

Mo Tang and Hai Bodong, who had traveled a long way, flew in mid-air, gazing at the faint, indistinct outline of a city in the distance...

At the city's four gates, one could still vaguely see countless Blackie, like ants, gathering and surging into the city's gaping, dark maw.

Maple City!

The city where Medicine Emperor Han Feng resides is also one of the most prosperous cities in the entire Black Corner Region.

"Let's go, let's go into the city too." Hai Bodong couldn't wait any longer. He spread his ice-blue wings and sped towards the city gate.

Mo Tang's lips curled slightly, and he also stretched out his four wings and quickly chased after it.

After leaving the Misty Cloud Sect, he had no more scruples, so his cultivation level improved directly.

At this moment, his cultivation level has been raised to the Nine-Star Dou Ling. He only needs a little over four hundred Mid-grade Energy points to advance to the One-Star Dou Wang.

This was after he had exploited the Mo Clan once again...

Although Hai Bodong noticed that Mo Tang's aura seemed more powerful at this moment, he didn't think much of it, only that the other party had made some progress.

Moreover, the stronger the opponent, the more advantageous it is for oneself.

After all, they were going to see that Medicine Emperor, and if they weren't strong enough, he might not even see them...

After paying the entrance fee, Mo Tang and his companion finally stepped into this bustling metropolis, comparable to the holy Jia Ma Holy City.

"Where to next? Shall we go straight to the Medicine Emperor?" Hai Bodong asked, looking at Mo Tang.

After a moment's thought, Mo Tang said, "Let's find a place to stay first. Asking the Medicine Emperor to refine medicine is not something that can be done overnight, so there's no need to rush it."

The key point is that, having come all the way to Maple City, how could Mo Tang possibly leave empty-handed?

I haven't even spent the millions of Gold Coins I got from Mo Lan pocket money before coming here...

Actually, it's definitely easier to get those high-quality medicinal herbs in Maple City than in the Jia Ma Empire. If Mo Tang put those 70 million Gold Coins here, he should have a greater harvest.

However, doing so would have a very fatal hidden danger...

That's safety!

This is the Black Corner Region... Do you think Mo Tang would dare to easily reveal such a vast fortune of 70 million Gold Coins?

Moreover, without those 70 million, he would only be Five-Star Dou Ling at most. With that kind of strength, he would probably be devoured without leaving a trace.

As for the Jia Ma Empire, putting aside his deal with Hai Bodong, his status as an elder of the Misty Cloud Sect alone was enough to prevent Mittel Tengshan from harboring any ill intentions towards him. That is why Mo Tang asked the Mittel Family to help him collect resources.

Thousand Medicine Pavilion... This chain of pharmacies on the Dou Qi Continent has branches in various places, only with different owners.

After all, there are no trademark rights in this world. You can use a name, and so can I... As long as you have enough power, no one can do anything about it.

However, in the Black Corner Region, most of these Thousand Medicine Pavilion have a share in this Medicine Emperor, so they are considered true chain stores.

Step into this impressive pharmacy.

Instantly, a mixture of hundreds of medicinal smells wafted over, making one feel an urge to sneeze.

The pharmacy was very spacious. Neat crystal counters lined both the east and west sides, displaying various kinds of medicinal herbs inside the transparent cabinets.

At this moment, many people were lingering in front of these counters, pointing at their favorite medicinal herbs and pills and talking to the shop assistants. The noisy conversations filled the entire hall.

"Did you just buy tens of millions of resources in the Imperial Capital? Why are you here at this pharmacy? With the scale of your Mo Clan, you probably don't need so many medicinal herbs, do you?" Hai Bodong asked, somewhat puzzled.

You could do so many things with that money, why do you have to hoard so many medicinal herbs? You're not an alchemist!

Mo Tang just smiled and said, "Those were prepared for the family before, but this is for myself. After all, I also need to cultivate and improve my strength as quickly as possible!"

These words almost choked Hai Bodong to death.

That little rascal is really infuriating! How dare he show off in front of me!

It's only been a few months since I met him in the Imperial Capital, how much have you improved? Do you really think I'm blind?!

The thought that the other party was vaguely giving him a sense of superiority over him was still quite shocking to Hai Bodong.

He strongly suspected that his opponent had been hiding his strength during their fight, otherwise it would have been impossible for someone to have such a terrifying improvement in such a short period of time!

Mo Tang paid no attention to any of that, browsing around the various counters while carefully identifying the medicinal herbs.

Although he wasn't an alchemist, Mo Tang had come into contact with so many medicinal herbs that he still had some understanding of them.

But you don't know until you see it, and you'll be shocked when you do.

The prices of medicinal herbs in this Thousand Medicine Pavilion are generally more than twice as high as those outside!

Take this Ink Jade Lotus, for example. The Mittel Family initially quoted 250,000 Gold Coins, but here it's priced at 600,000...

"This is outrageous! It's a complete rip-off... If all prices are like this, my millions won't buy much at all..."

Muttering to himself, Mo Tang suddenly realized that he was still a genuine pauper!

Behind him, Hai Bodong naturally saw this scene as well, and his heart immediately filled with joy.

"Haha, kid, now you know how generous the Mittel Family is, right? Tsk tsk, look at this price, it's three times higher than what we offer at our auction house..."

"Did you suddenly realize you didn't have enough Gold Coins?"

Seeing Hai Bodong's gloating expression, Mo Tang was initially annoyed, but then his eyes lit up.

"Oh, right. Old Sir Hai, as the Supreme Elder of the Mittel Family, you must have quite a bit of savings, right? How about we borrow some to tide us over?"

Seeing that this guy was actually setting his sights on him, Hai Bodong immediately adopted a detached attitude and said, "Don't even think about it!"

"Besides, this old man is practically a cripple now. I've been living in seclusion for so many years, where would I get so much money to lend you?"

Seeing Hai Bodong directly playing the victim, Mo Tang could only purse his lips and mutter to himself, "What a stingy old man!"

"Hehe, kid, don't say I didn't help you. Since the medicinal herbs here are so expensive, then other things must be just as expensive. You could put some of your valuables up for auction, and that would make you some money, right?"
