"There are many good things in this city!"

Zi Yan sniffed around and said to Lin Qing.

Lin Qing grabbed Zi Yan, who was looking around anxiously, and pulled her to his side, whispering, "Behave yourself later. There are quite a few treasures here, but if you act recklessly, you'll definitely cause endless trouble, understand?"

Seeing Lin Qing's serious expression, Zi Yan could only mumble a "hmm".

Seeing that Zi Yan was a little unhappy, Lin Qing rubbed her head and comforted her:

"Don't be upset. If you see any Medicinal Herb you like later, I'll buy them for you."

Hearing this, Zi Yan became a little happier.

Lin Qing lowered his hand, his gaze casually sweeping over the passersby who kept casting their eyes at him. A sudden, chilling glint flashed in his eyes, causing them to feel a sudden sense of danger and quickly avert their blatant stares.

Sensing the gazes that quickly receded, Lin Qing withdrew his own gaze and dissipated the Soul Dou Skill he had just condensed. Previously, if anyone made a move, everyone on this street would have to report to the King of Hell.

Although he has a good temper, this is only true if the people around him are normal. If he encounters someone who is courting death, he can also grind them to ashes.

'Hopefully no one will come up to deliver takeout!'

The main problem is that these food delivery guys are too poor. If they were rich, Lin Qing wouldn't mind the trouble!

Let's go!

Lin Qing waved his hand, pulled Zi Yan and Lin Qi up, smiled at Cailin and the Lion beside him, and then walked towards the place where Zi Yan felt the Medicinal Herb fragrance was the strongest.

He remembered that there was a Thousand Medicine Workshop in the Black-Corner Region, which had a wide variety of Medicinal Herb. He initially thought that the medicine shop in Black Seal City and Black Emperor Sect just had the same name.

According to the college's information, this pharmacy has branches in many cities, and it seems the owner is a woman.

However, Feng City should also have a relatively rich collection of Medicinal Herb.

If you want to buy rare Medicinal Herb, you still have to go to the Auction House or the Thousand Medicine Workshop. Feng City is only suitable for future looting. Of course, it would be great if you could get the Heavenly Flames from Han Feng.

As Lin Qing turned and left, the chill on the road dissipated considerably. Many eyes stared in surprise and uncertainty at the departing figures in the distance, then secretly wiped away a cold sweat, realizing that these people were not ordinary individuals.

Some people on the road felt a chill run down their spines when they thought of being stared at by that cold, merciless gaze. They felt as if they were being targeted by a venomous snake.

You'll die!

A city like Black Seal City can only be described with one word: chaos!

Chaos is the most unique atmosphere in the Black-Corner Region. No matter how powerful a force is, it is absolutely impossible to completely prevent this chaos from arising. The people of the Black-Corner Region completely disregard any rules or regulations; might makes right is the most important truth!

He was not averse to chaos at all, because he knew that as long as you had enough power in this Black-Corner Region, you would be a superior person.

But if he had to choose, he would still choose order, unity, order, and civilization—perhaps this is an obsession ingrained in his very being!

Following Zi Yan's directions, Lin Qing walked through several streets, his gaze constantly sweeping over the shops on both sides of the street.

To be honest, the chaos in the Black-Corner Region has gone too far. The big cities are somewhat better, but the small towns are in complete disarray.

They had only walked a hundred meters or so in the city when they encountered no fewer than ten fights and bloodshed.

He even doubted whether these shops could make money, and those caravans rushing into the Black-Corner Region —without strength, they would probably be devoured without a trace.

However, considering that prices in the Black-Corner Region were several times higher than in the Jia Ma Empire, and that this region gathered resources and information from several surrounding countries, as well as resources that had flowed over from the Central Plains, he began to understand.

Twenty minutes later, Lin Qing stopped in front of a rather large shop.

On the shop's signboard, on that pale red plaque, are written three simple, ancient characters: "Qianyaofang" (Thousand Medicine Workshop).

"This should be it!"

Lin Qing whispered something to the group, then led the way into the impressive pharmacy. Instantly, a mixture of hundreds of medicinal scents wafted over, making one feel an urge to sneeze.

The pharmacy was very spacious, with neat crystal counters lining both the east and west sides. Inside the transparent counters were various kinds of Medicinal Herb. At this moment, many people stopped in front of these counters, and noisy conversations lingered among them.

Lin Qing slowly walked towards the crystal counters, his gaze sweeping over them. Indeed, some of the Medicinal Herb in this Thousand Medicine Workshop were hard to find outside. He really didn't know where they had obtained such a large quantity of rare Medicinal Herb.

Moreover, given their wealth and the fact that they have branch stores, it's surprising they weren't robbed. It seems the owner behind this business is quite a remarkable person.

Because those forces and individuals who can survive in the Black-Corner Region, and even thrive there, are no ordinary people.

After all, the people in the Black-Corner Region are no simple characters; they're all seasoned veterans.

He shook his head in amazement, then Lin Qing's gaze swept over the prices listed below the Medicinal Herb, and he couldn't help but click his tongue in disbelief.

"This price is a bit too high! It's generally three to four times the price of Medicinal Herb in the Jia Ma Empire!"

This gave him a new understanding of prices in the Black-Corner Region.

However, they still had to buy it. Looking at Zi Yan's little face pressed against the crystal cabinet, her big, jewel-like eyes staring unblinkingly at the Medicinal Herb inside, she seemed to be drooling with longing.

Seeing her like this, Lin Qing rubbed his forehead, then immediately pulled the reluctant Zi Yan up and patted her shoulder. "Sweetie! I'll buy it for you later!"

After buying several rare Medicinal Herb, Lin Qing bought four sets of Medicinal Herb for refining Grade 5 Grain-Fed Pill. Finally, he bought a Tier 5 Dragon Blood Grass and a Jade Fruit for Zi Yan and Lin Qi.

Fortunately, he robbed Hai Bodong's Storage Ring and also obtained some gold coins in Black Rock City, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to afford it.

However, he has now become destitute.

This not only cost him the last 3 million gold coins he had, but also several Fourth-Grade Pills, before he was able to take the Medicinal Herb away amidst the waiter's somewhat surprised gaze.

"Looks like I'll have to sell Medicinal Pill!" Leading a few people out of the Thousand Medicine Workshop, Lin Qing Lin Qing up at the sky and couldn't help but smile wryly.

"In this Black-Corner Region, it's really hard to move an inch without money and strength! The strongest person in this city is only a Dou Emperor, I think we can pull off a big heist!" Cailin replied calmly.

He had recently thought that Cailin had changed her personality, but as expected, the Queen is still the same Queen!

Arrogant! Greedy!

"I think Sister Cailin is right!"

A glint of surprise also appeared in Zi Yan's eyes; clearly, she was also tempted by Cailin's suggestion.
