I, the mortal, come from the great world of Xuanhuang

The events in the city were handled quickly, and the news spread like wildfire throughout the entire Black Corner Region, including the death of the city's original lord.

Many forces throughout the Black Corner Region felt it was a pity. As for those forces that had originally been on good terms with him, without exception, none of them considered avenging him, because there was no need to seek revenge at all; the Black Corner Region had never had the concept of avenging others.

Even if someone really wants revenge, it's just a pretext to seize someone else's territory or kill someone; nothing else matters.

For Fang Yu, acquiring such a large territory was still not enough, because he had just wiped out not only this one force, but also another one.

"Blood Sect!"

Fang Yu naturally wouldn't let this sect go either, so he wiped it out as quickly as possible.

Of course, the most important person to do so was Elder Qing of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. Elder Qing of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion hated this sect to the core. He almost died at the hands of the sect's leader, so he naturally hated it to the core and would never let it go.

Therefore, he directly chose to lead the team to completely wipe out this sect, leaving them no chance or qualification to surrender. As for who he led, it was naturally the original guys in the city. After seeing their city destroyed, those guys immediately chose to surrender and submit to the center, remaining loyal to the end. Such things simply do not exist in the Black Corner Region, and the beliefs they hold do not exist.

It's a system where the strong rule. As long as they're strong enough, they can betray their boss at any time. Of course, they also need to offer enough benefits. If the benefits aren't enough, then there's nothing they can do.

But for Fang Yu, his strength is everything; as for benefits...

"Announce this to Blackhorn and those other forces, or rather, tell them that I will begin refining seventh-grade pills in the city in a month. Yes, seventh-grade pills. Invite them to come and watch. If they are interested, or if they are not interested, just pretend I never said anything. They can come and watch anytime they are interested."

Fang Yu's words surprised Elder Qing of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. Although Fang Yu claimed to be a seventh-grade alchemist, Elder Qing of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion chose to believe him. However, he did not expect that Fang Yu would be able to refine this seventh-grade pill so quickly.

Even among the seventh-grade alchemists in their sect—of course, their sect only had two seventh-grade alchemists—they wouldn't easily refine seventh-grade pills. The most troublesome part of refining seventh-grade pills wasn't the process itself, but the calamities that followed.

This was the most troublesome issue, and on one occasion, they even needed the help of their sect's head to resolve it.

"Don't worry about this. I have a solution. Just inform those guys. I believe the arrival of a seventh-grade alchemist will be more shocking than the death of a sixth-grade alchemist, and the appearance of a seventh-grade alchemist should be more attractive to them. After all, I can refine all the pills that the original sixth-grade alchemist could refine, and I can also refine the pills that the original sixth-grade alchemist couldn't refine. Under these circumstances, they should know what to choose. As for those incidents related to that guy, if they want revenge, you can tell them to come and seek revenge. At the same time, if they don't want revenge, they should send me all their valuables. After all, I don't want to keep such a hidden danger."

Fang Yu's words made Elder Qing of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion immediately agree, and Elder Qing was extremely happy and delighted.

"Young Master, please rest assured, such a thing will absolutely not happen. With your status as a seventh-grade alchemist, even if they were fools, they wouldn't dare to retaliate against you. Not to mention they need your help to refine pills, you could say that as long as you can refine seventh-grade pills, the entire Black Corner Region will be yours. At that time, whatever you want to do, those guys in the Black Corner Region won't object; they'll all support you wholeheartedly. Because they simply don't dare to offend you, Young Master. Offending you would be tantamount to offending a group of Dou Zong powerhouses."

"With your abilities, it would be no problem for you to recruit a group of Dou Zong experts."

"Alright, stop flattering me. Just do as I say. If they really want revenge, I welcome it anytime."

Although Fang Yu kept saying he would stop flattering Elder Qing of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, the smile on his face wouldn't go away.

"Young master, I'll go right away."

Elder Qing of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion gave Fang Yu a somewhat resentful look before leaving.

After Elder Qing of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion left, only Yun Yun remained. Yun Yun's gaze was somewhat complicated. He was quite surprised that Fang Yu could refine a seventh-grade pill. Of course, it wasn't that he didn't believe Fang Yu could refine a seventh-grade pill, but he didn't expect Fang Yu to refine a seventh-grade pill so quickly.

"Next, I'll need you to help me manage the situation in this city, so I'm sorry to trouble you. While you're refining this batch of seventh-grade pills, I'll also refine a batch for you, or rather, some sixth-grade pills. I guarantee that this will greatly increase your strength in a short time, allowing you to become a powerful figure in this Black Corner Region. Of course, it's impossible for you to break through to the Dou Zong level in a short time. I can't do that either. With your talent, it's very difficult to break through to the Dou Zong level in a short time, even with my full assistance. However, I can guarantee that I can help you break through to the Dou Zong level within three years. Although it's a little different from what I originally promised, I believe I can definitely help you break through to the Dou Zong level within three years."

"And it's not as simple as one or two stars, it could be as powerful as three or five stars. After all, I have the ability, and your talent is passable."

Fang Yu's words deeply moved Yun Yun, but even so, she still spoke calmly.

"Thank you very much."

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you give me a few children, that's all I ask for, right?"

Fang Yu's words infuriated Yun Yun again, but she still nodded.

Anyway, this was something that had been agreed upon long ago.

"How about this? You give me one child, and I'll help you advance to Dou Zong; you give me two children, and I'll help you advance to Dou Zun; you give me ten children, and I'll help you advance to Dou Sheng. How about it? What do you think of the terms? Is it good?"

Fang Yu's words made Yun Yun blush and turn away.

He had already agreed, but he still felt shy about this, especially given Fang Yu's unreliable behavior. He was even more embarrassed, afraid that Fang Yu might do something to him. After Yun Yun left, Xiao Yan was the next guest to arrive.

"Wasn't your senior brother already killed? Why aren't you at the academy looking for me?"

Fang Yu wasn't surprised by Xiao Yan's arrival; instead, he teased him. Xiao Yan simply chuckled at Fang Yu's teasing and then took out a ring.

"The teacher asked me to give this to you, saying it should be of some use to you."

Fang Yu took the ring that Xiao Yan handed over and looked at it. There were indeed many good things inside, including the Myriad Beast Cauldron left behind by Senior Brother Xiao Yan.

"You're willing to give this to me, don't you want it too? With this, it will be easier for you to refine medicine. As for me, this thing isn't very useful. My medicine refining skills are now superb, comparable to your teacher's."

I was quite surprised after seeing what was inside the ring.

This can be considered a legacy of their sect.

"It is already a great favor that you gave me the strange fire. If it weren't for you, it would probably have taken me a long time to kill that traitor for my master. So this is a huge favor that I must repay no matter what."

Xiao Yan's words were a request for the Sea Heart Flame from Fang Yu.

"This Sea Heart Flame is of no use to me. Since I promised to give it to you, I will. Here you go."

After saying this, Fang Yu took out the Sea Heart Flame from his body and handed it to Xiao Yan. He had only temporarily kept the Sea Heart Flame in his body and had not refined it. This was not a difficult task for him. When he received the Sea Heart Flame, Xiao Yan's expression became extremely excited.

Now he has finally obtained this Sea Heart Flame. He knows how many alchemists would give their lives and do anything to seize such a Sea Heart Flame. Now he has finally obtained it.

"Don't get so excited. Refining this thing is no easy task; it's practically a life-or-death situation, especially since you already possess a strange fire within you. However, if you can truly refine it, it will undoubtedly greatly help improve your strength. I'm confident about that. But refining it won't be an easy task."

"So whether or not you can refine it ultimately depends on your sister-in-law's luck. If she's unlucky, it's really impossible for her to refine it. In that case, you might even lose your life. You should think carefully before making a choice."

"Don't worry, I've made my choice. I will refine it and I'm sure I'll succeed. I'm quite confident in my luck. However, I'm afraid I'll need your help then, because I trust you more than anyone else."

"Isn't your teacher right here with you? Don't you trust him? Or do you think he's not strong enough? Be careful, he might beat you up if you think he's not strong enough,"

"Haha, of course not, how could that be? I just feel safer with you here and the teacher around."

"Alright, alright, I agree to this. Remember to let me know when you call. But right now, your most important task is to go to the academy, because you've already taken a long leave. Although you're no longer suitable to be a student, you're still a student, so once you enter the academy, you'll probably become an elder immediately. Of course, you can hide your strength. But you need to think carefully about the consequences, because your affair with Nalan Yanran has probably already reached the academy. The academy isn't blind or deaf; they'll naturally find out. You might be expelled from the academy again. And the academy..." "The academy also contains what you need: the Fallen Heart Flame, ranked fourteenth on the Strange Flame Ranking. This thing is known as a cultivation cheat code, and it's a major reason why the academy is the most powerful academy on the continent. If you were to steal it, the damage to the entire academy would be immense. It would drastically reduce the academy's strength, especially the students' cultivation speed, which would be reduced to an extreme. I've already told you about the academy's situation, so you should be aware of it. Therefore, if possible, you should refine it before exploring the academy's underground area. You'll be absolutely amazed. I'm confident I can guarantee that."

Fang Yu's mysterious words left Xiao Yan stunned, but he was also incredibly excited. He hadn't expected Fang Yu to tell him so much.

"Thank you so much, I'm so grateful for this."

Xiao Yan cupped his hands in thanks to Fang Yu, but Fang Yu didn't seem to care much about Xiao Yan's gratitude.

"Alright, alright, stop standing there. Hurry up and go back. That's the most important thing for you. Once you get back, you need to refine the Sea Heart Flame in your hand as quickly as possible."

"Of course, it's alright if you refine it now, but it will take some time, and I don't know if you'll have enough time. After all, the academy is about to hold the inner court selection competition. If you miss this period, it will be a bit troublesome for you to enter the inner court again. With your strength, even in the inner court, there is probably only one little girl who can defeat you. But if you miss this period, it will not be an easy thing to enter the inner court again."

Xiao Yan didn't pay much attention to Fang Yu's earlier words, but he was utterly shocked by Fang Yu's later words.

He hadn't expected that there would be someone in the inner courtyard who could defeat him.

"You mean there's someone in the inner courtyard who can defeat me now?"

It wasn't that Xiao Yan felt arrogant, but rather that it was a fact. Xiao Yan believed that with his current strength and the many methods at his disposal, he was absolutely capable of fighting alongside, and even killing, a Dou Huang level expert.

Even so, Fang Yu actually said that there was a little girl in the inner courtyard who could defeat him, which he found unbelievable.

"Of course, that little girl's identity is not simple. She can be said to be one of the most prestigious people in the entire Dou Qi Continent. Our family's young lady is an equal to her."
