Black Market Provocation

Li Qingyun initially passed on to Houtu the Awakening Meridian method that the soul corpse had comprehended, letting her cultivate it herself.

By the time night fell,

Houtu, who was staying in the neighboring room, had made considerable progress in her desolate qi. At this rate, by the time they reached Langtian City in the Middle Land, she would likely be on the verge of entering the Void Capturing Realm.

The ancient desolate veins within her were exceedingly old, and her potential was immense. What she lacked was merely "opportunity" and a method.

Before encountering that "opportunity," her bloodline lay hidden, making her no different from an ordinary person. But once she encountered wind and clouds, she could transform into a dragon.

Now that she had entered Li Qingyun's tutelage, her opportunity had arrived. Her strength would soar by leaps and bounds, changing with each passing day!

By all accounts, Zhi/Houtu was undoubtedly Li Qingyun's first true personal disciple in the Wei Zu Great Thousand.

Even Water Roar, Wind Hiss, Si, Deng Jing, and the others were merely disciples before his seat.

One could well imagine how highly he regarded Houtu.

"Lord Quan, it is time to go!"

At that moment, Tushan Wenshan came to invite Lord Quan to the black market in Yunqi City, where they would seek those two kinds of rare treasures for Dao Lord Master.

Li Qingyun nodded. Draped in a black robe that concealed his merfolk nature, he walked out of the room.

At night, Yunqi City blazed with brilliant lights, appearing all the more prosperous and dreamlike.

Unlike Ba Snake Mountain, where three hundred miles of land sank into utter darkness after nightfall, broken only by scattered lights, Yunqi City seemed to have all manner of people pouring out at night to seek amusement
