The Black-Corner Region's Medicine Emperor, Han Feng's Shock!

Within the Black-Corner Region, Yin Gu Old Man was not the only one to receive word regarding the appearance of a sixth-grade Sect-Breaking Pill in the Jia Ma Empire.

However, the other factions simply did not believe it.

That was a sixth-grade medicinal pill, and furthermore, a Sect-Breaking Pill capable of helping a Dou Huang expert break through their barrier.

Such a treasure was rarely seen even in the Black-Corner Region; otherwise, Han Feng, known as the Medicine Emperor, would not have remained stuck at the peak of a nine-star Dou Huang for so many years, unable to break through to the strength of a Dou Zong.

The tiny Jia Ma Empire was nothing more than a backwater place.

How could such a high-level treasure possibly appear there?

But Yin Gu Old Man was cautious by nature, and even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he wanted to try his luck.

After arriving in Wutan City, he thought to himself that it was indeed a sixth-grade Sect-Breaking Pill.

Although he was still a long way from the peak of a nine-star Dou Huang—one might even say the distance was vast—it did not matter. Once he auctioned this pill, he could keep it and use it the moment his strength reached the nine-star Dou Huang level to break through to Dou Zong.

Yin Gu Old Man looked at the Sect-Breaking Pill he had successfully bid on, feeling extremely satisfied.

He muttered to himself in his heart, "The Sect-Breaking Pill, this sixth-grade pill, was still won by my Heavenly Yin Sect. Those factions in the Black-Corner Region are all short-sighted!"

"This grand opportunity has fallen into my hands. Among the many factions in the Black-Corner Region, I will soon become the first expert to break through to Dou Zong!"

"When that time comes, everyone and every faction, including the Medicine Emperor Han Feng, will have to treat me with respect!" Yin Gu Old Man thought to himself.

After the auction ended, many of the experts felt quite dejected.

Yun Yun of the Cloud Mist Sect, in particular, was extremely disappointed that she had failed to secure the sixth-grade pill.

However, an auction house had its rules, and it would not do to simply resort to robbery.

Moreover, the old man appeared to possess formidable strength, at least that of a four-star or five-star Dou Huang.

With no knowledge of what faction or sect stood behind him, no one dared to entertain the idea of seizing it by force.

Once the auction concluded, the many experts in the seating area left one after another.

Half an hour later, inside a VIP room of the Miteer Auction House.

Ya Fei arrived, holding a purple-gold card and a storage ring, which she handed to Yao Chen.

"Mr. Yao, these are the proceeds from the auction. Please accept them! Everything gained from this auction has been deposited into the purple-gold card and the storage ring."

"Our Miteer Auction House has not deducted any fees; we have not even taken a commission. We hope that you and our Miteer Auction House can become friends!"

Ya Fei spoke with the sharp business acumen of a woman who knew how to handle such matters.

Ya Fei was well aware that a mere commission was nothing; at worst, it was a small loss of profit.

But if she could secure the friendship of a Dou Zong expert who was also a pharmacist capable of refining a sixth-grade Sect-Breaking Pill, that was something money could not buy!

"Very well. If there are other pills for sale in the future, I will continue to entrust them to you," Yao Chen said.

His expression was indifferent. After taking the purple-gold card and the storage ring, he prepared to leave.

Before he could depart, he found Yin Gu Old Man waiting for him at the entrance.

"I presume you are the pharmacist who refined this sixth-grade Sect-Breaking Pill, My Lord?" Yin Gu Old Man asked, looking at Yao Chen.

The other party was draped in a black robe, his features obscured by the darkness within the hood.

Yin Gu Old Man could not discern the other's strength, but since he could refine a sixth-grade pill, he was certainly no worse than the Medicine Emperor.

If their Heavenly Yin Sect possessed a pharmacist of this caliber, their influence in the Black-Corner Region would expand overnight.

Thus, Yin Gu Old Man spoke, revealing his intentions: "My Lord, I wonder if you have heard of the Heavenly Yin Sect in the Black-Corner Region?"

"I have not, and I have no interest in knowing," Yao Chen replied, leaving those words behind before walking away.

"A pharmacist is indeed arrogant and conceited!" Yin Gu Old Man was still grumbling in his heart when he looked up and witnessed a shocking sight.

He saw Yao Chen stepping into the void, vanishing into the horizon.

"Walking on air without using Qi Wings? Could he be a Dou Zong expert?" Yin Gu Old Man's expression turned to one of pure shock.

He found it incredible!

This tiny Northwest Continent, the Jia Ma Empire, and the small Wutan City were nothing but a speck of dust.

In such a desolate place, the appearance of a sixth-grade pill capable of helping a Dou Huang expert break through to Dou Zong was already rare enough!

He never expected the man himself to be a Dou Zong-level expert!

Had he not seen it with his own eyes, Yin Gu Old Man would never have believed it to be true!

He marveled in his heart, "No wonder that pharmacist was so arrogant just now. Indeed, he possesses the strength and the capital to be so!"

"It is only a pity that I did not get to know him properly!"

"Even if he has no interest in our Heavenly Yin Sect, if I could have established some rapport, it would be much easier to ask for his help in the future!"

"Besides, with a sixth-grade pharmacist as a backer, no one in the Black-Corner Region would dare to look down on our Heavenly Yin Sect again!"

"What a shame! Sigh!" Yin Gu Old Man sighed and left in disappointment, though before he departed, he made sure to inquire with Ya Fei about some information regarding that pharmacist.

Ya Fei shook her head; she knew nothing of Venerable Yao, save for the fact that his surname was Yao.

Yin Gu Old Man had departed the Jia Ma Empire, and several days later, he had returned to the Black-Corner Region, to his Heavenly Yin Sect.

A place like the Black-Corner Region had no rules to begin with; it was considered the most chaotic land on the Dou Qi Continent.

Time passed, and within the Black Alliance, inside the sphere of influence belonging to the Medicine Emperor Han Feng.

In the great hall, Han Feng had just received a message stating that Yin Gu Old Man of the Heavenly Yin Sect had traveled to the Jia Ma Empire in the Northwest Continent some days ago.

He had actually managed to win a Sect-Breaking Pill, a sixth-grade medicinal pill, at auction.

Though it was unclear whether the information was reliable or not.

Han Feng's expression immediately turned to one of shock; the Jia Ma Empire, such a tiny place, could actually produce a sixth-grade medicinal pill, and a Sect-Breaking Pill at that.

On the Dou Qi Continent, the number of alchemists capable of refining a Sect-Breaking Pill could be counted on one's fingers.

The first among them was his former teacher, that old thing, Yao Chen.

It was a pity that after he had killed that old fellow, the formula for the Sect-Breaking Pill had been lost to him.

"Medicine Emperor, I heard that the sixth-grade alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire shares the same surname as your teacher, Venerable Yao. If he also hails from the Yao Clan of the Central Plains, it would be no surprise that he possesses such alchemical talent and can refine a sixth-grade Sect-Breaking Pill!"

Han Feng's expression, however, suddenly turned grave!
