A stroll

The person who arrived was Ya Fei. Xiao Ding had just mentioned that the Mittel Family had given the Underworld a lot of support this time, especially Ya Fei. Xiao Ding also knew that Ya Fei was helping the Underworld so wholeheartedly because of Xiao Yu.

Mittel Teng Shan had complained to Hai Bodong and Xiao Ding countless times, but unfortunately, the current Ya Fei was no longer the unimportant Ya Fei in the Mittel Family. She had Xiao Yu's protection and Hai Bodong's support. More importantly, Ya Fei's own strength was now a force to be reckoned with!

The Queen of Gold Ya Fei was now nestled sweetly in Xiao Yu's arms. Xiao Yu, reluctant to let this moment of tenderness end, gently stroked Ya Fei's hair and said apologetically, "Thanks to your help to the Underworld these past few days, once the time is right, you won't have to keep an eye on the Mittel Family anymore. Then you can come with me to Central Plains!"

"Mmm, okay!" Ya Fei buried her head in Xiao Yu's chest and answered in a muffled voice.

After remaining in that position for a long time, Ya Fei finally got up from Xiao Yu's embrace, her face slightly flushed, and looked at Xiao Yu, asking, "Are you going out again this time?"

Xiao Yu shook his head slightly and said, "No, this time we should stay in the Black Corner Region. After we've dealt with everything here, we'll set off for Central Plains!"

A hint of joy appeared on Ya Fei's pretty face. It wasn't that she wanted to go to Central Plains; she was happy as long as she could stay by Xiao Yu's side. Ya Fei didn't care about anything else.

Immediately, Ya Fei looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Since we have nothing to do today, why don't we go for a stroll in the Black Emperor City together?"

Xiao Yu looked at Ya Fei's charming face and nodded slightly, saying, "Alright, let's go!"

The two walked outside as they talked, and just as they reached the gate, a small white figure appeared there. It was Zi Yan, the little girl, who looked at Xiao Yu with a rather resentful expression and said, "I'm out of pills. Can you refine some for me?"

Xiao Yu looked at Zi Yan helplessly and said, "You finished eating so quickly?"

Zi Yan pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved, and said, "I've been absorbing pills incredibly fast lately, and my internal Dou Qi is surging. I think I'm about to break through!"

"You're about to break through?" Xiao Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, let's find some medicinal herbs together now. Can you sense roughly when you'll break through?"

Zi Yan tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "At least one month, at most three months, but definitely no more than three months!"

Xiao Yu frowned slightly. He hadn't expected things to be so rushed, but a month was still enough time. Xiao Yu then led Ya Fei and Zi Yan outside.

The streets of Black Emperor City were filled with shouts and curses, creating a chaotic atmosphere. As the three of them moved through the streets, Xiao Yu asked Ya Fei, "Do you know if there are any large pharmacies in Black Emperor City?"

Ya Fei pondered for a moment and said, "I do know one. The largest pharmacy in Black Emperor City should be Thousand Medicine Pavilion. I've heard that you can find almost any medicinal herb Thousand Medicine Pavilion, unless it's extremely rare, but I don't know the specifics!"

Xiao Yu suddenly remembered Thousand Medicine Pavilion, which was considered the largest pharmacy in the Black Corner Region. "Alright, in that case, let's go check out Thousand Medicine Pavilion first!"

Xiao Yu and his companions strolled leisurely down the street, soon arriving before a vast, sprawling pavilion. Above the pavilion hung a plaque bearing three large characters. "Thousand Medicine Pavilion!"

Because of the auction being held in Black Emperor City, the streets were packed with people, and the Thousand Medicine Pavilion was no exception. Shouts and curses echoed through the crowded streets. Xiao Yu, holding Ya Fei's hand with one hand and Zi Yan's hand with the other, squeezed into the crowd. At the same time, he released a powerful burst of Dou Qi from his body, pushing the people around him aside. In no time, he led Ya Fei and Zi Yan into the Thousand Medicine Pavilion.

Upon entering Thousand Medicine Pavilion, Xiao Yu was immediately enveloped in an extremely rich medicinal aroma, a fragrance composed of countless herbs. This aroma drew Zi Yan's face to a deep blush. Xiao Yu secretly cautioned, "You can't do anything reckless here. After all, this is a business. If you see any herbs you like, ask your Sister Ya Fei to buy them for you!"

Hearing this, Ya Fei rolled her eyes at Xiao Yu, then grabbed Zi Yan's hand and said haughtily, "Little Zi Yan, let's go! What medicinal herbs do you want? I'll buy them all today!"

Zi Yan nodded excitedly and said, "Sister Ya Fei!" Then she saw that Zi Yan's eyes were shining as she kept looking at the surrounding medicinal herbs.

In this incredibly spacious hall, there were countless transparent counters, each displaying a variety of precious medicinal herbs. No wonder Zi Yan was tempted; even Xiao Yu felt a strong urge to buy them.

At this moment, many people were browsing in the pill section. After all, not everyone is an alchemist. For the people of the Black Corner Region, buying some pills to protect themselves is much better than buying medicinal herbs. Of course, some powerful individuals would choose to buy some medicinal herbs and ask an alchemist to refine them for them, but those are a small minority!

Xiao Yu and his two companions strolled around the medicinal herb section. As Sixth Grade Alchemist, he could refine almost any pill in the pill section as long as he had the herbs.

Xiao Yu walked past the counter one by one, seeing quite a few medicinal herbs, "Qinglan Grass, Phoenixfire Scale Fruit..."

As expected of the largest pharmacy in Black Emperor City, Xiao Yu saw many rare medicinal herbs here. However, these herbs were not of much use to him. On the other hand, Zi Yan and Ya Fei bought a lot of medicinal herbs.

Soon, Xiao Yu walked towards an elderly man behind the counter. The old man smiled at Xiao Yu and said, "Esteemed guest, is there anything I can help you with? I hope the medicinal herbs at the Thousand Medicine Pavilion can assist you!"

Xiao Yu took out a piece of white paper from his Storage Ring. The paper recorded several main medicinal ingredients for refining the Great Void Returning Pill. Judging from the name alone, one could guess that this pill was specially prepared for Little Zi Yan. The Great Void Empty Essence Pill is Seventh-grade Pill, so Xiao Yu is not yet capable of refining it.

The old man took the white paper with both hands, glanced at the medicinal herbs on it, and then asked, "Are you an alchemist, sir?"

Xiao Yu nodded slightly and said, "That's right. Does Thousand Medicine Pavilion have these medicinal herbs?"

The old man chuckled and said, "Of the nine medicinal herbs listed above, seven are present and quite expensive. Two others are extremely rare, some are simply too difficult to find!"

"Which two flavors?" Xiao Yu asked casually.

"The Great Void Fruit and the True Essence Grass!" the old man said slowly.

Xiao Yu nodded slightly. He was naturally aware of the rarity of these two medicinal herbs. Ya Fei, who was standing nearby, walked over and said, "I heard that Thousand Medicine Pavilion has a Pill Exchange Gathering items for rare herbs, right? You can find some rare herbs there!"

The old man looked at Ya Fei with some surprise, then said, "It seems this young lady is quite familiar with our Thousand Medicine Pavilion, otherwise she wouldn't know about the Pill Exchange Gathering!"

Ya Fei smiled charmingly and said, "I've only heard a little about it!"

Xiao Yu then looked at the old man and said, "I have some pills here that I can exchange. Take us to the Pill Exchange Gathering!"

Looking at the calm demeanor of the two people and the child before him, the old man's face showed a hint of respect, and he agreed.
