Changes in the Black Corner Region

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "Brother Yu, where did you get this flame?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Would you believe me if I said it was heavenly fire?"

"Heavenly Fire?" Xiao Yan asked, somewhat surprised.

Xiao Yu smiled and explained, "That's right, this flame suddenly appeared inside my body when I was undergoing my tribulation. Every time I break through Heavenly Tribulation, I undergo a Heavenly Tribulation tribulation, which is extremely powerful. This flame must be considered a heavenly fire!"

The Yao Lao said with some surprise, "Heavenly Tribulation? I've never seen a Heavenly Tribulation in all these years. However, I do know that when alchemists refine pills, there is Pill Tribulation, which we also call Pill Lightning!"

"Only when the grade and quality of the pills reach an extremely high level will Pill Lightning appear. Does this person determine whether or not they can undergo tribulation based on their talent?" Yao Lao asked Xiao Yu with some doubt.

Xiao Yu slowly nodded and said, "I'm not entirely sure about that either, but I think it's probably similar. Perhaps the Pill Tribulation and the Heavenly Tribulation share the same origin!"

Even Yao Lao couldn't explain this, and Xiao Yan didn't ask any further questions. In their view, Xiao Yu's talent was perhaps worthy of the arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Time flies by, and more than half a month has passed in a flash.

With the Strong Ranking Competition drawing ever closer, Xiao Yu would accompany Xun'er to the back mountain every day to practice her Dou Technique for a period of time.

Moreover, during this time Xiao Yu also noticed that Cai Lin and Little Xiao Nian's relationship was getting better and better. In addition, with Zi Yan, the three of them would often take Little Purple and Big White to the depths of the back mountain to find some medicinal herbs.

The morning light shone through the window, and after finishing his cultivation, Xiao Yu got up and quickly washed up.

The hall was already full of people. Xiao Yu was eating breakfast when he saw Xiao Yan walk in from outside in high spirits.

Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Yan and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so happy, Third Brother?"

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Good news! I've found the last ingredient for refining the Earth Spirit Pill!"

Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow and then asked, "Really? You found it with Elder Hao?"

Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "No, it was introduced by Elder Hao. I got it from Elder Liu in the Inner Academy. I paid a high price for it!"

Xiao Yan became increasingly excited as he spoke, and in the end, he didn't even eat breakfast. He ran out, presumably to have Yao Lao refine the Earth Spirit Pill.

Wu Hao suddenly spoke up, saying, "The Black Corner Region seems to be in some turmoil lately!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Wu Hao, Wu Hao continued, "The Outer Academy's Law Enforcement Team has recently apprehended quite a few people who intended to kill in Peace Town outside the Jia Nan Academy. There were already some, but recently too many people have been flooding in."

"All Law Enforcement Team from the Outer Academy are now conducting a comprehensive manhunt in Peace Town. If anyone shows any murderous intent, we will strike as a deterrent!"

Hu Jia frowned slightly and asked, "Could something have happened in the Black Corner Region?"

Wu Hao shook his head and said, "It's not very clear right now, but it seems there is indeed a rumor circulating."

"Oh? What rumor?" Xiao Yu asked, intrigued.

"It seems that a mysterious force has appeared in the Black Corner Region, hunting cultivators within Black Corner Region. Some people have even seen that these mysterious forces are elusive, appearing only as a cloud of black mist!" Wu Hao's words immediately alerted Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu and Xun'er exchanged a glance before turning to Wu Hao and asking, "What's the situation in the Black Corner Region right now?"

Wu Hao thought for a moment and said, "The Black Corner Region is relatively stable at the moment, but there have been some fugitives appearing in several cities!"

"Currently, the safest place in the Black Corner Region is Jia Nan Academy, followed by Maple City, Twilight City, and Black Rock City!" Wu Hao said.

Xiao Yu thought through the cities Wu Hao had mentioned and suddenly realized that these cities were the bases of the Eight Fan Sect, the Blood Sect, and Medicine Emperor Han Feng.

Especially Twilight City, which is still the next place Xiao Yu will check in at. It seems that the Soul Hall has already infiltrated the Black Corner Region.

Xiao Yu suddenly realized where the danger he felt was. The Soul Hall was the most powerful force on the Dou Qi Continent, second only to the Eight Clans.

Xiao Yu didn't ask any further questions. After learning a little about it, he started eating breakfast.

After they all went to cultivate, Xiao Yu pulled Xun'er into the room.

Inside the room, Xun'er looked at Xiao Yu with a somewhat solemn expression and said, "Brother Xiao Yu, I didn't expect that the Soul Hall would actually appear in the Black Corner Region Black Corner Region. Their influence is spread throughout the continent, and they must be here on a mission!"

Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "The Soul Hall must have a mission to come to the Black Corner Region at this time. I just don't know who the Soul Hall has sent this time. And I'm afraid I should inform Third Brother about this."

Xun'er looked at Xiao Yu with some doubt and asked, "Third Brother? Could it be that the Soul Hall's mission this time is related to him?"

"Perhaps. Third Brother should know Han Feng, the city lord of Maple City, and Fan Lao of the Blood Sect Twilight City escaped from our hands. I suspect that the Soul Hall, Fan Lao, Han Feng, and others are all cooperating!" Xiao Yu said with a light laugh, seemingly not worried at all.

"If that's really the case, then the Soul Hall's ambitions this time are probably quite grand!" Xun'er said, looking at Xiao Yu.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan had arrived deep in the mountains. Yao Lao borrowed Xiao Yan's flames to extract all the pills that needed to be refined.

The skillful technique and the degree of control over the flames amazed Xiao Yan, who was standing to the side!

As time flew by, within the Medicine Cauldron before the Yao Lao apothecary, a blue light flickered, expanding and contracting, its energy ripples spreading outwards with each breath, the powerful force turning over the surrounding grass.

About half an hour later, the blue light spot suddenly shrank and stopped growing. However, in Xiao Yan's eyes, he saw that Yao Lao's expression had become more solemn than ever before!

Boom!

A thunderous sound suddenly resounded from the mountains and forests, and a powerful explosion accompanied by a blue beam of light about two zhang thick shot straight into the sky!

Such a powerful aura immediately alerted Great Elder Su Qian of the Inner Academy, who moved slightly and disappeared from the room.

At the same time, it also caught Xiao Yu's attention. Xiao Yu's powerful Soul Power noticed the source of this power, and with a slight movement, he grabbed Xun'er's small hand and darted away.

Xiao Yan, standing to the side, felt it most directly. He swallowed hard, staring at the blue light. Wasn't this creating a huge commotion? Wouldn't it attract the attention of the Inner Academy elders?

Just then, a powerful aura rushed toward the place where Yao Lao was refining pills; it was none other than Great Elder Su Qian.

As Yao Lao gazed at the enormous blue pillar of light, he reached out and touched it. The blue pillar trembled violently before transforming into a beam of blue light that flew into Yao Lao's withered palm.

A perfectly round, azure-blue pill, about the size of a longan, appeared in Xiao Yan's sight.

The Yao Lao frowned slightly and said, "Someone is approaching this place!"
