In the courtyard, the Deep Blue Flame burned the meat chunks until they were sizzling and frying.

How about trying Sea Heart Flame Barbecue? If Han Feng saw this scene, he would definitely tear Yang Shan to pieces.

For human cultivators, the essence of Heart Blood Meat is a special "medicine" that can only be taken once at a major cultivation level.

But Zi Yan is not human! This Heart Blood Meat is like a spiritual plant to her, which can directly help her improve her cultivation.

Of course, the improvement of the Heart Blood Meat is done in stages.

It doesn't mean your cultivation level will immediately skyrocket after taking it.

Moreover, for Zi Yan, the Ancient Void Dragon of the Void, even the Heart Blood Meat of Seventh Order King of Beasts is not considered a great tonic!

But Zi Yan ate with great joy.

Since meeting Yang Shan, Zi Yan would occasionally enjoy some delicious food to refresh herself.

But even Su Qian would call it wasteful to use the Heart Blood Meat of a Seventh Order King of Beasts as a delicious meal! While Zi Yan was eating the Heart Blood Meat, Yang Shan also used the detection function to check Zi Yan's current stats:

[Zi Yan] (Five Colors)

Rank: Three Star Dou Huang

property:???

Affiliation: Jia Nan Academy Inner Courtyard Strong Ranking: Second

Qi and Blood: 1,990,000; Attack: 5,500; Defense: 4,700; Speed: 1,157; Special:

1. Void Control - The Ancient Void Dragon Clan is born with an extremely high degree of control over space.

2. True Dragon Power - When Zi Yan fights seriously, she can unleash the power of her bloodline, increasing her attack by 500%, defense by 300%, and speed by 100%. However, she can only use bloodline Dou Technique during this period.

Yang Shan was drooling over the incredible panel.

The nearly two million units of Qi and Blood brought tears to Yang Shan's eyes.

Warcraft is awesome! Its health is so high, even twenty of them couldn't match it!

The amplification of the "True Dragon Power" was even more outrageous.

If Zi Yan's true form wasn't the Ancient Void Dragon, Yang Shan would have to call Tianyao customer service to ask if there was a bug! No wonder he could take away 12,000 HP with just a punch using only a quarter of his strength.

It was clear that Zi Yan's emotions were truly turbulent at the time, which triggered the "True Dragon Power".

When Zi Yan was Dou Wang, she did not have the "True Dragon Power", but the destructive power of her punches at that time far exceeded the power displayed on her character sheet.

Presumably, after breaking through to the Dou Emperor, this "True Dragon Power" stabilized and was then displayed on the panel.

Yang Shan was initially worried that Zi Yan wasn't strong enough to dominate the Black-Corner Region in this version of the game with him.

Looking at it now, it's clear that it wasn't a matter of insufficient strength.

Those thighs were incredibly thick and hard! Just then, Su Qian Sky Tread through the air and landed on the ground. "Yang Shan, you're finally back."

Before Yang Shan could reply, Su Qian secretly sent him a Yang Shan message: "You brat, you actually know how to come back! Huh?"

Su Qian's tone seemed even more indignant than Zi Yan's before. "Take Zi Yan away immediately! This girl is practically draining the Inner Courtyard! The Alchemy Department can't find a single high-grade spiritual plant, Fire Elder Huo is crying every day, he's practically begging me on his knees!"

Yang Shan almost burst out laughing.

The Ancient Void Dragon is the pinnacle of the Magical Beast Realm on the Dou Qi Continent. The energy required for its cultivation breakthrough is hundreds of times that of ordinary magical beasts! Zi Yan, on the other hand, has the special ability to control space. The seal of the Inner Courtyard is basically just a decoration for her. She can take it away with a wave of her hand.

It's practically a money-devouring beast that only takes in money and never gives it out!

Yang Shan then understood why Su Qian said she would entrust Zi Yan to him after she became Dou Emperor.

Who can afford to raise this?

Yang Shan and Su Qian continued their conversation via telepathy. After Zi Yan finished Heart Blood Meat and let out a satisfied burp, Su Qian impatiently said, "Alright! I know you're always here and gone without a trace, and very busy all day long. I won't keep you for tea any longer. You can take Zi Yan and leave!"

Then, Su Qian instructed Zi Yan:

"Girl, your strength is no longer of any use staying in the Inner Courtyard. You need to go outside to get better training. You must listen to Yang Shan. This lad is capable and responsible. I trust him with you."

Zi Yan held back her tears. "I know, I will be good, old man, I will come back to see you."

Su Qian's eyes glistened with tears:

"It's alright, you don't need to come back often. Focus on improving your strength and finding your clan as soon as possible."

With that, Su Qian turned his back and said, "Let's go! Let's go quickly, lest I change my mind."

Zi Yan was also reluctant to part with Su Qian, turning back every few steps, but in the end she flew away with Yang Shan.

After Zi Yan flew away, Su Qian seemed to lose control of her emotions, and her shoulders began to tremble.

"Finally, that little devil is gone! The Inner Courtyard won't have to worry about high-grade spiritual plants anymore. It's all thanks to Yang Shan; if it were anyone else, that girl might not have agreed to leave! I resolved a major crisis for the Inner Courtyard without lifting a finger. This time, I'll definitely have Old Man Huo refine some top-grade pills for me! Hahahaha."

Leaving the Inner Courtyard and traversing the vast forest, Zi Yan couldn't help but shout from the sky, "Oh! Time to go out and play! No more nagging from the old man every day!"

She had heard Xiao Xun'er say that when she went out with Yang Shan, she had a fun and comfortable time.

It allows you to hone your skills and improve your abilities quickly, while also having a great time.

Zi Yan had been waiting for this day for far too long! "Yang Shan, Yang Shan! Where are we going first?"

Yang Shan: "Go to a place called Black Moon Ridge."

Zi Yan: "Black Moon Ridge?"

Yang Shan: "Yes, the Seventh Order King of Beasts's Heart Blood Meat that you ate was obtained by me when I killed a Black Gatekeeper Thunder Wolf in Black Moon Ridge. In the very center of that place, I discovered an opportunity that would be of great use to me, so I'm going to explore it again this time."

Yang Shan flattered Zi Yan, saying, "I didn't expect you to be so strong now. With your help, we're sure to achieve great things. We'll split the spoils and make a fortune!"

Zi Yan's eyes lit up as she listened, and she couldn't wait. "Okay! I'll do as you say, let's go quickly!"

When Yang Shan was on Server Shutdown, he had been thinking about how he should develop his career since Zi Yan had already become Dou Emperor. Now that he was returning to the Black-Corner Region with Zi Yan, he should focus on how to develop his career.

With Zi Yan by his side, how could he switch between his two identities in a timely manner and ensure that both paths of development progressed simultaneously? In the end, Yang Shan came up with a good idea!

That means not joining any faction!

Just like the Gold Silver Duo.

Whoever pays the most, we'll do things for them!

With his reputation Blade Sovereign, the assistance of Zi Yan, and the support of Ink Iron Marshal, he was able to achieve great success.

Looking at the leaders of the major forces in the Black-Corner Region, as long as they don't encounter the Earth Demon Old Ghost, Mo Tianxing, or Old Man Ying Shan...

Yang Shan could easily take on anyone else head-on! Even if the Three Great Elders of Demon Flame Valley came, they would have to kneel down and beg for mercy!

Since their strength is already established, why would they need to join other forces as underlings?

Does Blade Sovereign need to be someone's underling? But before that, Yang Shan still plans to take Zi Yan to try to retrieve the "Extreme Lightning Mystic Classic" from Black Moon Ridge.

After all, Zi Yan's "Void Control" talent gives her spatial manipulation abilities close to those of a Dou Zun at the Dou Emperor level.

Within Black Moon Ridge, although the Baleful Wolf and Ghost Tiger are extremely powerful, they will not face any risks as long as they do not encounter the two Seventh-Order Thousand Beast King.

It's simply a matter of fighting or running away; the initiative is entirely in Yang Shan's hands.

Compared to leveling up, directly changing your cultivation technique will undoubtedly have a more immediate and effective boost to your combat power.

After entering the Black Moon Ridge territory, Yang Shan and Zi Yan landed on the ground.

They all took a Aura Concealing Pill.

All the wolf and Tiger-Race Magical Beast in Black Moon Ridge are "spies".

If they continue their arrogant and unrestrained advance, the news will quickly reach the Baleful Wolf and Ghost Tiger Clan.

Since the goal is to secretly take the inheritance, we must not alert them.

Yang Shan encountered four waves of monsters in a row, but did not choose to fight.

These Tier 5 monsters have too little experience points; there's no need to waste time on them.

Yang Shan had a map given to him by the Dark Moon Dog Clan, and he knew the roads in the central area of Black Moon Ridge like the back of his hand.

If possible, it's best not to take any action along the way.

But not making a move doesn't mean not reaching out! Zi Yan has an innate and extreme sensitivity to treasures.

Within a radius of twenty miles, she could tell you all the treasures just by closing her eyes and sensing them slightly!

Yang Shan and Zi Yan tiptoed into a dense forest. A hundred meters ahead, there was a Clear Spring Spirit Tree! At the foot of the spirit tree, a Blood Rampage Ghost Tiger of the sixth-order Thousand Beast King level was dozing off, snoring loudly.

On the tree canopy, which covered an area of ten zhang, there were at least two hundred fist-sized emerald green fruits.

Clear Spring Fruit, a sixth-tier spiritual plant! It can be eaten directly and has a sweet and delicious taste.

If a player takes it, the effect is to gain an additional 20% experience points, up to a maximum of 50,000 points. It is effective for players below the Dou Zong level and there is no resistance! Yang Shan transmitted his voice to Zi Yan: "Little Zi Yan, I'm leaving you here!"

Zi Yan did not know Yang Shan's soul transmission method. Her transmission method was mediocre and might be detected by the hearing of this sixth-order Thousand Beast King level Blood Rampage Ghost Tiger.

So Zi Yan simply winked at Yang Shan, the meaning of which was all too clear:

Don't worry, leave it to me! With the Aura Concealing Pill and Yang Shan of Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning, the Blood Rampage Ghost Tiger, who was dozing off, was completely unaware that Zi Yan was approaching.

Arriving at a point only fifty meters from the spirit tree, Zi Yan rubbed her hands together and then reached out.

Spatial ripples appeared strangely on the spirit tree.

However, the ripples were very small and lasted only for a moment.

And just like that, in the brief moment between the Blood Rampage Ghost Tiger's snores, Zi Yan found a Clear Spring Fruit in her hand!

After placing it into her Storage Ring, Zi Yan stretched her hands forward back and forth.

One after another, the Clear Spring Fruit disappeared from the tree canopy, falling into Zi Yan's Storage Ring!

In less than a minute, Zi Yan, laden with her spoils, was dragged away by Yang Shan and they fled the scene at top speed.

Zi Yan said smugly, "How about that? Aren't I amazing?"

Yang Shan gave a thumbs up. "Amazing, invincible! With your ability to Void Object Retrieval, you're practically a born thief! I'd call you the Thief Saint!"

Zi Yan feigned modesty:

"Alas! The title of Saint is reserved for Dou Sheng Expert. I am currently only Dou Emperor, so calling me the Thief Emperor would be more appropriate!"

Just as the two were chatting, a mournful howl and a tiger's roar came from the direction of the Clear Spring Spirit Tree.

Zi Yan couldn't stop smiling:

"That Big Fool cat, hahaha!"

Yang Shan: "Are there any other good things around here?"

Zi Yan: "Yes, over there, come with me!"
