Breaking the Masked Man

If he remembered correctly, the Jia Ma Empire was located in the northwest corner of the Dou Qi Continent, making it an extremely small empire on the map. In comparison, it might be easier to figure out the locations of Canaan Academy and Black Corner Region, since the former still had a considerable reputation on the Dou Qi Continent.

"Master, wait a moment."

Wang Xiao said something and then got up and left the house.

After waiting for about half a cup of tea's time, Wang Xiao entered the house with two jade tokens and handed them to Yao Yan, explaining, "If you are an alchemist, you can read them with your soul power. If not, you can activate them with your battle qi, but the latter is a bit more troublesome."

As for what trouble he might cause, he didn't say much, because most of the members of the Medicine Clan were alchemists, and even if they weren't, their use of soul power far surpassed that of others.

Yao Yan nodded, holding the two jade tablets in his hands. At the same time, he controlled a surge of soul into them, and immediately a map resembling a 3D scene appeared in his mind. With his mind at its command, everything within a thousand miles of Shennong City was recorded in the map.

As long as no major battles between powerful figures occur recently, everything in the outside world will be exactly as recorded on this map.

The map of Dou Qi Continent, however, is much more rough.

Yao Yan glanced at it briefly, but unfortunately, it did not record the Black Corner Region or Canaan Academy, so he frowned.

"Is there anything you're dissatisfied with, young master?"

Wang Xiao's heart tightened, and he asked, since the maps he had taken out were all of superior quality. If Yao Yan didn't pay after looking at the maps, then this matter would be troublesome.

Fortunately, Wang Xiao's worries did not come true. Yao Yan was still very trustworthy. He chuckled and said, "I am very satisfied with the map. However, I once heard a teacher in the clan school say that there seems to be a Dou Qi Academy on the Dou Qi Continent called Canaan Academy. I am very interested in this. I wonder if you have heard of it."

"Is the Canaan Academy you mentioned, young master, the one located in the Black Corner Region?"

Wang Xiao thought for a moment and then asked.

Yao Yan pretended to ponder, her tone somewhat uncertain: "It should be."

“If it is the academy in the Black Corner Region, it is naturally not recorded on this map. A detailed map is needed. If you need it, I can get it for you. However, the information recorded on that map will not be as detailed as these two maps.”

Wang Xiao reminded them that because the Shennong Sect had been staying in the Shennong Mountains for many years, they naturally didn't have much information about other continents.

I know about the Black Corner Region because it's extremely famous on the Dou Qi Continent. It's a notoriously chaotic area, where it's said that raping women is commonplace on the mainland. If you can afford to offend someone, the women who survive in the Black Corner Region are often more ruthless than the men...

However, that place held no appeal for true powerhouses, because due to its location, the energy of heaven and earth was too thin, making it unsuitable for cultivation, especially for those who had reached the Dou Zun level.

So.

This has led to increasing chaos in the Black Corner Region.

It is said that this is also related to the struggle between various forces, and the Dou Qi Continent needs such a chaotic territory.

Existence is reasonable.

"It doesn't matter."

Yao Yan said, feigning composure.

Wang Xiao didn't try to persuade her, but turned around to get a map of the Black Corner Region. He quickly returned, and a somewhat rudimentary map appeared in front of Yao Yan. Compared to the previous two maps, this map related to the Black Corner Region was a real map. Apart from marking the location and terrain of Canaan Academy, it did not show any other cities or forces.

"The Black Corner Region is a notoriously chaotic place, where forces are wiped out and cities are even massacred every day, making it difficult to record specific information."

Wang Xiao explained helplessly.

Yao Yan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good. I'll take all three portions. However, I don't have any money with me, so I'd like to pay with the pills."

He raised his hand and took out more than a dozen bottles of pills from his storage ring, including some third-grade pills and several precious fourth-grade pills.

"Third-grade Qi-restoring pill, third-grade Qi-increasing pill, fourth-grade Qi-gathering powder, fourth-grade Qi-exploding pill..."

Wang Xiao opened the medicine bottles one by one and was quickly shocked by Yao Yan's wealth. He was so shocked that he couldn't breathe. As a disciple of Shennong Sect, he had a broad perspective and naturally knew the value of this batch of pills.

As expected of someone from the Medicine Clan?

The pills that can be taken out at will are things that others can only dream of.

Yao Yan gently stroked the little green fox in her arms and said with a smile, "This should be enough to pay for the money. Please exchange the rest for currency."

Chapter 20 Remaining Pictures

The transaction went smoothly, and Wang Xiao had no intention of cheating anyone. Perhaps it was because the reputation of the Medicine Clan was so great that it was enough to make all the forces in the Shennong Mountains respect them.

Having obtained what he wanted, Yao Yan got up to leave. Looking at Wang Xiao, who was about to see him out, he smiled and said, "Please stay. If I need anything in the future, I will come to trouble you again."

"Thank you very much."

Wang Xiao was taken aback, then cupped his hands and smiled, stopping in his tracks to watch Yao Yan leave.

Yao Yan slowly walked out of the shop, releasing his soul power to sense his surroundings. Only after finding nothing amiss did he relax a little, thinking to himself, "I was a bit too cautious. Although third and fourth-grade pills are valuable, they are not enough to make someone take the risk of offending the Yao Clan to rob me."

This place is not far from the Medicine Realm of the Medicine Clan. Even when beating a dog, one should consider its owner. Moreover, Yao Yan comes from a branch of the Medicine Clan and possesses the bloodline of the Medicine Clan's Dou Di. His status is not low.

"嘤嘤~"

Little Green Wood Fox started asking for snacks again, its loose fox tail drooping behind Yao Yan, swaying happily.

"Are you really Aoki Fox?"

Yao Yan couldn't help but pinch the little green fox's neck, looking at its bright green eyes, and said rather speechlessly, "It has to eat at least a dozen essence pills a day. Even if these essence pills are not made from high-grade herbs, the quantity is still too large. How can the green fox's bloodline digest them so quickly?"

This little guy is amazing. He only eats and doesn't poop. In the past two weeks, he has eaten at least a hundred kinds of herbal essences, and his body can still hold on.

outrageous.

If it were an ordinary second-tier magical beast, it would most likely advance to the next tier after consuming so many medicinal essence pills.

"嘤嘤~"

The little green fox drooped its big fox ears, looking pitiful, and made a pathetic sound.

Yao Yan shook his head helplessly, put it back on his shoulder, and fed it a herbal essence pill. He had been raising it for half a month and had invested a lot. He couldn't just let it go now, or he would lose everything. This was probably what was called sunk cost.

Secondly, Yao Yan also wanted to see if he could raise this female fox to the point of transformation.

It’s interesting to think about.

"Ah woo~"

Little Green Wood Fox, unaware of Yao Yan's ulterior motives, happily swallowed the herbal essence pills and then rubbed against Yao Yan's cheek to show its dependence.

Yao Yan smiled and led the little green fox towards the street, intending to stroll around Shennong City.

Meanwhile, inside the store.

Wang Xiao respectfully entered an inner room, where a tall, burly man sat in the main seat. The man had dark skin, ferocious features, and was even blind in one eye, giving him an extremely fierce appearance. He was also playing with two fiery red stone balls in his hands.

"My lord, these are the pills from that transaction. They have been appraised and are all of superior quality, and they were all recently refined. The other party should be a member of a branch of the Medicine Clan, not an imposter."

Wang Xiao took out the pills from his storage ring, placed them neatly in front of the other party, and said respectfully.

The burly man narrowed his single eye, his words filled with envy and jealousy: "The Medicine Clan... truly an enviable race. Even a little child can refine fourth-grade pills..."

Alchemists have always been the most prestigious profession on the Dou Qi Continent. Even in the Shennong Sect, a fourth-grade alchemist is an absolute honored guest. However, in the Medicine Clan, there are countless fourth-grade alchemists.

Do you think this little child has anyone protecting him?

The burly man glanced at Wang Xiao and asked slowly, his tone turning icy.

Wang Xiao's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he said nervously, "I...I don't know."

He knew that the other party had a grudge against the Medicine Clan. His blind eye was caused by a member of the Medicine Clan. In the past, the other party had also targeted some members of the Medicine Clan who came from within the clan. However, most of these people were just herb gatherers and had not even been granted the surname Medicine.

But this time it was different.

A bloodthirsty glint appeared in the burly man's eyes, and the stone ball he was playing with spun even faster.

See this scene.

Wang Xiao quickly replied, "I think... I'm sure there is. From our previous conversation, it seems that the other party has been in the Medicine Clan Academy. Anyone who can study in the Medicine Clan Academy must be of a status that is far beyond that of an ordinary clansman."

To be able to study at the Medicine Clan Academy, the first requirement is that one's parents possess a powerful Dou Di bloodline, which has always signified strength and status.

"..."

The burly man's expression froze, and the murderous intent in his eyes receded like a tide. He naturally knew what this meant.

"unlucky!"

He snorted coldly, then got up and left.

Once the other person was out of sight, Wang Xiao finally breathed a long sigh of relief. He was genuinely worried that the other person might act impulsively and cause trouble for him, which could potentially implicate him. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but curse inwardly, "What...what a madman!"

At this moment, Wang Xiao decided to report this matter to the elders. Shennong City absolutely could not continue to let the other party take responsibility, otherwise Shennong Sect would surely face great disaster in the future.

At the same time, he secretly hoped that he could take her place.

……

On the other side, Yao Yan was still strolling around, his target being the stalls set up by the mercenaries. These mercenaries used to make a living in the Shennong Mountains, which are vast and contain countless treasures. In addition to all kinds of natural treasures, occasionally someone would also find the cave dwellings left behind by a senior master after his death.

Among them are many powerful Dou Zong experts, and even Dou Zun experts!

Yao Yan naturally had a penchant for finding bargains, but unfortunately, cheap goods are cheap goods after all. Most low-level herbs were not very valuable, and he didn't lack them. As for the other fragments and fighting techniques, he was even less interested. With the fighting techniques he currently controlled, he had enough to use until he reached the Dou Zun level.

He understood the principle of not biting off more than he could chew; more fighting techniques were never better, only those that suited him best.

Compared to Yao Yan's composure, the little green wood fox seemed quite excited, even wanting to buy up all the low-level herbs present. It was truly baffling why it was so enthusiastic about medicinal herbs; even as a wood-type magical beast, it shouldn't be like this.

As the two walked to a mercenary's stall, Yao Yan clearly felt that the little green fox in her arms had suddenly changed. Its pair of emerald green eyes were fixed on a piece of broken map, and even its voice changed from whimpering to whimpering, as if it had sensed a natural enemy.

"kindness?"

Yao Yan stopped in his tracks and followed the gaze of the little green tree in his arms. He saw an ancient, fragmented map displayed on the stall.
