Return to the Black Corner Region

"Lin Ming, are we going straight back to your family?" Zi Yan asked as they flew high in the sky.

"No rush. We won't be coming out again for a while after we return to the family. Let's go to the Black Corner Region first; there are plenty of good things there," Lin Ming said in response to Zi Yan's question.

Upon hearing about the good stuff, Zi Yan, who had a talent for treasure hunting, was instantly excited and kept urging Lin Ming to fly faster.

Watching Zi Yan accelerate her flight, Lin Ming shook his head helplessly, then sped up to catch up with Zi Yan.

After more than a day of flying, Lin Ming and Zi Yan finally landed. After spending some more time traveling, a Black Giant City came into Lin Ming's view.

"Zi Yan, although there are many treasures here, the place is full of all sorts of people, and there are many who are stronger than us. So once we enter, we must act according to the circumstances, unlike in the forest where we could just grab and run." Lin Ming instructed Zi Yan before they entered the city.

After making inquiries, Lin Ming learned that a large-scale auction was about to take place in Black Emperor City, so after traveling for more than a day, he arrived in front of Black Emperor City.

The most powerful force in Black Emperor City is the Black Emperor Sect, and Black Emperor Sect Master Mo Tianxing, is a Dou Zong expert. In the original novel, one of the three materials Xiao Yan used to help Xiao Yi Xian control her Woeful Poison Body, the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva, was purchased by the Black Emperor Sect in Black Emperor City.

There is also the corpse of a Sky Demon Phoenix in the Black Emperor Sect. If given the chance, Lin Ming would like to get his hands on it.

The Sky Demon Phoenix is made of treasures. As one of the three overlords of the demon realm, the Sky Demon Phoenix has always called itself the overlord of the demon race since the Ancient Void Dragon has not appeared.

The fact that it could overpower all the other Magical Beasts and occupy the position of overlord shows just how terrifying the Sky Demon Phoenix is.

Using its Magic Core for alchemy is far more effective than using other Magic Core. Furthermore, once a method is found to consume its Essence Blood, it also has a significant effect on improving the physical body. Of course, what attracts Lin Ming the most is the pair of Sky Demon Phoenix Feathers.

In the original novel, Xiao Yan used the refining method of the Sky Goose Nine Line Wings Flying Fighting Skill Goose to refine the pair of Sky Demon Phoenix feathers into his own Flying Fighting Skill, which greatly helped his speed. Furthermore, after absorbing the remaining remnants of the Sky Demon Phoenix within the wings upon completion of the refinement, Xiao Yan's Soul Power increased significantly.

As for Lin Ming, even if he obtained the corpse of the Sky Demon Phoenix, without the Sky Goose Nine Line Wings to refine it, he would not be able to use the Sky Demon Phoenix Feathers to refine Flying Fighting Skill.

Regarding this, Lin Ming could only say, let's get it first. What if we get the Sky Goose Nine Line Wings later? Besides, even if we can't get the crafting method for the Sky Goose Nine Line Wings, we can find other crafting methods to replace it after we go to the Middle Continent.

In the Middle Continent Pill Tower, even Cultivation Method for cultivating the soul are available, let alone methods for refining Flying Fighting Skill.

However, those are all things for the future. Lin Ming dares not mention the Sky Demon Phoenix's corpse now.

The demonic corpse of the Sky Demon Phoenix is a top secret within the Black Emperor Sect. Given his current strength, if he were to inquire about it, he would likely be captured and severely tortured by Mo Tianxing to find out where Lin Ming obtained the information. Lin Ming hasn't lived enough yet, so of course he wouldn't do such a death wish.

Besides, in the original novel, the Sky Demon Phoenix wouldn't be put up for auction for almost ten years. With so much time, Lin Ming wasn't in a hurry.

Upon hearing Lin Ming's words, Zi Yan nodded. In her senses, there were also some powerful auras within the city, so Zi Yan nodded in agreement with Lin Ming's instructions.

Seeing that Zi Yan had listened, Lin Ming took out two black robes. After putting them on himself, he noticed Zi Yan's dawdling manner, Lin Ming kindly helped Zi Yan put them on quickly. Then he headed towards the city gate.

Seeing Lin Ming leave, Zi Yan had no choice but to reluctantly put on her black robe and follow Lin Ming forward.

The Black Corner Region is synonymous with chaos; here, the only rule is the survival of the fittest. If you are strong enough, you can trample on anything in the Black Corner Region.

Although Lin Ming couldn't trample on everything, thanks to the powerful aura of his Dou Ling, he didn't need to queue like the others to enter the city.

With Zi Yan by his side, Lin Ming swaggered into the city. The guards, who were only at the Dou Master level, didn't dare utter a sound in the face of Lin Ming's powerful aura and let him into the city.

No one who survives in the Black Corner Region has escaped death without having faced it. For these guards, their own lives are the most important thing. If they were to recklessly block the path of a Dou Ling expert and were injured or even killed, the sect might intervene on their behalf, but if the expert paid sufficient compensation, the matter would be dropped.

If I die, even if I receive compensation, I won't get anything; only the sect will prosper. If I survive but am injured in the Black Corner Region, it's like carrying a bright lamp in the darkness—everyone can see me. At that point, I won't be far from death either.

So there are no benefits whatsoever, but any accident means certain death. Those guards who survived all know what to do.

"Lin Ming, there are so many treasures inside." As they walked to a pavilion that occupied an extremely large area, Zi Yan said to Lin Ming.

Looking at the plaque hanging above the pavilion, Lin Ming said, "This Thousand Medicine Workshop is considered a top-tier pharmacy in the entire Black Corner Region, so it's normal that it has many high-end medicinal herbs."

"Let's go! Let's go in and take a look, but remember what I said, don't take anything! Otherwise, if we get trapped inside, no one will come to our rescue." Seeing Zi Yan's eager look, Lin Ming had no choice but to lead Zi Yan inside. Of course, he couldn't help but give her some necessary advice.

"Hehe! Lin Ming, you're so kind. Don't worry, I'll just look, I promise I won't take anything." Zi Yan said happily as soon as she heard Lin Ming take her inside.

Upon entering Thousand Medicine Workshop, staff members immediately came to greet Lin Ming and his companion, inquiring about the items Lin Ming wished to purchase.

Lin Ming, who had simply come in to browse, naturally didn't intend to buy anything. So, when facing the receptionist, Lin Ming said, "Let me look around first."

Thousand Medicine Workshop truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier pharmacy in the Black Corner Region; its selection of medicinal herbs is exceptionally comprehensive. Of course, the corresponding prices are also considerably higher.

The medicinal herbs below were in a completely different league compared to those Zi Yan had been eating. But she couldn't resist their novelty, so much so that Zi Yan ran around shopping with boundless energy.

Seeing Zi Yan's cheerful appearance, Lin Ming didn't disturb her and let her play to her heart's content!

Lin Ming stayed at Thousand Medicine Workshop until nearly evening before leaving with Zi Yan.

Afterwards, they took Zi Yan out for some delicious food, and it was already late at night when they finally found an inn and booked two rooms to stay in.
