Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 87 Treasures Hidden in the Black Corner Region

When Lin Ran stopped cultivating, Green Robe also returned to her residence with Little Fairy Doctor and Green Scale.

The two girls' pretty faces were a little pale, but with a hint of rosy color. Their eyes were filled with intense excitement, as if they had just done something naughty and successfully escaped.

"Young master, young master, look!"

Seeing Lin Ran come out, Little Fairy Doctor chuckled and, as if presenting a treasure, took out a jade box from her storage ring.

As the box was opened, a rich fragrance of elixir immediately filled the room, and a bluish-green elixir lay quietly inside the jade box.

"Wind-Riding Pill?"

Lin Ran was somewhat surprised.

This Windwalking Pill is a fifth-grade pill that can increase a person's speed for a short period of time. However, because it has a limited effect and the pill has certain side effects, it is only a low-grade fifth-grade pill and is not cost-effective.

How did these young girls manage to get this pill during their trip?

Lin Ran gave him plenty of pills to enhance his combat power, whether they increased speed, strength, or battle qi.

Both Little Fairy Doctor and Azure Scale have complete formulas, so this Windwalking Pill is obviously nothing compared to those other pills.

"These weren't bought by them, sir."

Seemingly sensing Lin Ran's strange gaze, the woman in green chuckled and explained, "This is them double-crossing... cough cough, this is their spoils!"

Heh heh.

He's only just arrived and he's already got the knack for double-crossing people. No wonder he's the one I chose; he adapts so quickly!

Sensing Lin Ran's surprised gaze, Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin exchanged a glance and gave each other an awkward but polite smile, which made Lin Ran chuckle.

"Well done. In the Black Corner Region, sometimes you have to do things this way to survive better."

"There shouldn't be any remnants left behind."

"Two servants noticed something was wrong at the beginning and ran away early on, but I've already taken care of them." The woman in green said softly. Little Fairy Doctor and Qinglin were slightly taken aback, and their expressions immediately turned somewhat ugly.

They certainly understood Lin Ran's words.

If it weren't for the green-clad servants, who knows how much trouble would have ensued once those two attendants left!

"Excuse me, young master, sister in green..."

Qinglin said in a low voice, "I thought that if I used the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil to control those few with fighting spirit, everything would be fine. It was my oversight."

"Me too, I didn't completely block everyone's escape routes." Little Fairy Doctor also lowered her head.

What was supposed to be a perfect hunt turned into a near disaster, which undoubtedly made the two smug girls feel somewhat ashamed.

They were even thinking of taking credit for it!

"After all, you are new to the Black Corner Region and do not know much about this place."

Lin Ran said calmly, "Here, the most inconspicuous people are often the most threatening. The doorman, the coachman, and even the roadside vendors are the most troublesome people in this city."

"Leaking whereabouts, exposing secrets, using witchcraft and poison... these dark methods are the real killers who kill without leaving a trace."

"But you guys are pretty good too. After all, you're new here. Let Greenie show you around and let you experience it. Then you'll all understand."

"Yes, young master."

Little Fairy Doctor reluctantly withdrew the Wind Spirit Pill, and Lin Ran also turned his gaze to the green-clad figure.

The man in green understood immediately and took out a roster from his storage ring.

"Since the last auction was held not long ago, and there are still about two weeks before the next auction, here is a list of all the auction items that have been registered so far, including some rare items from major powers. Please take a look, sir."

"Um."

Lin Ran took the roster and examined it carefully.

It must be said that Black Seal City truly lives up to its reputation as a major city in the Black Corner Region. Even its ordinary auctions are of far higher quality than the auctions held in Black Rock City.

Although this is only the initial auction list, it already contains a large number of medicinal herbs, pills, weapons, and even cultivation techniques and fighting skills for auction. Although the level is not high, the value is already considerable for a backward place like the Jia Ma Empire.

Unfortunately, none of them contained what Lin Ran needed.

Lin Ran glanced through the roster briefly, not in a hurry.

With the Dou Zun storage ring, his need for this aspect has greatly decreased, not to mention the beautiful snake that is collecting the essence blood of magical beasts for him.

Of course, if there were more materials, Lin Ran would accept them without hesitation.

"Green Robe, what level is the Black Seal Auction usually at?"

As if he had thought of something, Lin Ran's eyes suddenly lit up, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he asked.

The woman in green was slightly taken aback, and after thinking for a moment, she explained.

"The Black Seal Auction House is one of the top large-scale auction houses in the Black Corner Region. The pills it usually auctions are all of the fourth or fifth grade, and the cultivation techniques are all of the Xuan grade."

"Of course, if there are rare treasures, Black Seal City will give advance notice to increase the hype and give those who want to participate in the auction enough time to prepare their money. However, auctions of this level have not been held for a long time."

"I see."

Lin Ran understood, and then asked, "What is the current state of the various forces and their strengths in the Black Corner Region?"

"Strength, huh..."

After pondering for a moment, the man in green said in a deep voice, "The Black Corner Region has already been divided up by various major forces. Apart from Canaan Academy, which is an exception, there are also the Blood Sect, Heavenly Yin Sect, Mad Lion Gang, Rakshasa Sect, Earth Flame Sect, Eight Doors, Black Emperor Sect, Demon Flame Valley... and so on. Oh, and there's also Maple City of the Medicine Emperor!"

"These sects possess a large number of Dou Huang experts, including many at the peak of the Dou Huang realm. For example, the Golden and Silver Elders are both at the peak of the Dou Huang realm; together they can fight against Dou Zong experts!"

"Of course, the Black Corner Region's foundation is not limited to this. It is said that most of the founders of these sects did not die. Their strength is at least at the Dou Zong level, and they have been immersed in it for many years, making them extremely powerful."

"hiss……"

The words from the woman in green caused Little Fairy Doctor and Qinglin to gasp in shock.

They exchanged a glance, and both could see the shock in each other's eyes.

So many powerful individuals, such a chaotic situation.

No wonder the Black Corner Region has become the most chaotic no-man's-land in the Northwest Continent.

Which surrounding empire dares to control this force, and which empire can control it?!

"They're just a bunch of junk, no need to worry about them. But there are quite a few treasures in this Black Corner Region."

Lin Ran chuckled softly, and his mind immediately drifted to things that had appeared in the Black Corner Region in the original story.

Seventh-grade elixirs: Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, Life-Returning Pill...

Earth-rank combat techniques: Three Thousand Thunderclaps, Six Harmonies Body Ruler, Shadow Technique, Flame Manipulation Technique, Soul Fusion Method...

There are even treasures that would move even a Dou Zun powerhouse, such as the remains of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, and the remnant of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame!

Unfortunately.

These treasures are all hidden very well by these guys.

In the original story, the auctions were all conducted through proxy, and the seller's identity was not directly identified, which dissuaded Lin Ran from his plan to directly go to the seller's house to kill and rob the treasure.

If you alert the fish and it escapes, the losses will be huge!

However, even if something is well hidden, it may still be able to be found.

"Since the Black Seal Auction House hasn't had any major treasures auctioned for a long time, I'll give them one."

Lin Ran's lips curled up slightly as he took out a golden-patterned token from his storage ring and tossed it to the woman in green.

On that token, six strange, golden ripples undulated slightly, so bright they hurt the eyes. It was the Pill Tower certification token that represented the identity of a sixth-grade alchemist!

"Go to the Eight Doors, say hello to Yuan Yi, and then spread the word."

"The next auction will feature several Imperial Pills and Breakthrough Pills, and there might even be some Grade 7 pills. Those trash from the Black Corner Region should get ready and bring out their best stuff!"

"What?!"

Imperial Supreme Pill, Breakthrough Pill, and even a seventh-grade pill?!

Green Robe was shocked. These pills were extremely rare, even in the Black Corner Region. Lin Ran was actually going to take them all out at once.

That's incredibly extravagant!

Has the master's foundation become so formidable?

The woman in green was shocked, but then she thought about it again and it didn't seem so strange.

Although the Imperial Extreme Pill and the Breaking Sect Pill are precious, both she and Bai Ya have obtained one.

Moreover, some time ago in the Tagor Desert, Lin Ran directly refined a seventh-grade pill and gave it to Queen Medusa, something that Green Robe also knew about.

These are sixth- and seventh-grade elixirs, which are extremely precious to the world.

When it came into Lin Ran's hands, it was given away casually.

The depth of her master's resources far exceeded her imagination!

"Yes, young master."

A hint of emotion flickered in the green-clad man's eyes. He carefully put away the token, nodded respectfully to Lin Ran, and withdrew.

Inside the room, Little Fairy Doctor and Qinglin blinked at Lin Ran, their adorable, blank expressions making Lin Ran chuckle. He couldn't help but pat the two girls' little bottoms.

"What are you looking at? Go and cultivate properly. This young master is going to refine pills."

"If it weren't for the green-clad figures today, you'd be in big trouble. Why aren't you practicing harder and filling in the gaps in your knowledge?"

"Yes, young master."

Qinglin blushed and walked out of the room somewhat shyly.

Little Fairy Doctor was incredibly bold. After letting out a soft "ooh," she even rubbed against Lin Ran's palm, as if to say, "Come on, hurry up!" which made Lin Ran's lips twitch slightly.

This little girl is getting bolder and bolder. If she really provokes Lin Ran, something big might happen.

after all.

Even Yunyun and Medusa couldn't withstand his conquest.

With her current status as a Grand Dou Master, Little Fairy Doctor would likely be completely destroyed by Lin Ran if a war were to break out!

After driving away the arrogant Little Fairy Doctor, Lin Ran returned to the house and sat cross-legged.

This time, however, he did not continue to study and cultivate the Emperor Seal Technique and the Great Annihilation Technique. Instead, he waved his hand and took out a large number of jade boxes from his storage ring.

At first glance, there were dozens of these jade boxes, and each one was emitting a strong medicinal fragrance, clearly indicating that they were not ordinary items.

These jade boxes are filled with medicinal herbs!

These medicinal herbs were treasures in that old man's possession. He didn't have many high-grade pills in his storage ring, but he had quite a few rare medicinal herbs.

Most importantly, most of those medicinal herbs were used to refine pills needed by Douhuang-level experts, such as the Huangji Pill and the Pozong Pill. Clearly, this batch of medicinal herbs was prepared by this old fellow for his clan members.

But Lin Ran just happened to snatch it away.

This is why Lin Ran told Green Robe that he needed to take out a batch of Imperial Extreme Pills and Breakthrough Pills.

Yes, Lin Ran is prepared to refine it on the spot!

Although Lin Ran has a deep foundation, he is not a banker. He has used up most of his pills. This time, he will refine another batch to increase his inventory and enrich his foundation.

At the same time, this also puts these medicinal materials to good use.

Every medicine has some degree of toxicity. Only medicinal materials that are refined into pills are good medicinal materials. Otherwise, no matter how rare these things are, their value is limited.

If some medicinal materials are not processed by alchemists, not only will their medicinal effects be difficult for people to absorb, but the toxins they contain may even poison the user, having a negative impact.

Of course, this is also to warm up the hands and prepare for refining the Heavenly Spirit Dragon Blood Pill.

"Let's focus on Breakthrough Pills."

Looking at the medicinal herbs in front of him, Lin Ran murmured to himself, making a decision.

The ingredients used to refine Huangji Dan and Pozong Dan are largely the same.

However, compared to the peak sixth-grade Royal Extreme Pill, the advanced sixth-grade Breaking Sect Pill seems to be more popular in this Black Corner Region.

There are a great many peak Douhuang experts in this Black Corner Region. Most of these guys are extremely old and have virtually no hope of breaking through to Douzong in this lifetime.

Most importantly, these old guys are mostly sect leaders and elders.

These people from the old family happened to be the wealthiest people in the Black Corner Region.

As we all know, the success rate of a Dou Huang in advancing to Dou Zong is extremely low, and it is also extremely risky. If the attempt fails, a slight mishap could cause the fluctuations of Dou Qi within the body to become too violent, or even cause the level to regress.

This is something that almost all peak Douhuang experts fear most!

At that point, if their level drops even slightly, they will have to spend a lot of time and energy to start cultivating again.

This is especially true for those old guys who don't have much time left and have no hope of making a breakthrough.

In this way, the effects of the Breakthrough Pill became fatally attractive to them. Although the success rate of 10% seemed very low, this small step had already caused countless peak Douhuang experts to perish.

Furthermore, the fact that taking the Breakthrough Pill would not lower one's realm or strength even if one failed made it even more desirable for countless peak Douhuang cultivators!

To extract enough profit, you need to accurately target your customers!

Lin Ran's gaze slowly swept over the snow-white jade boxes in front of him. He took a light breath and suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

With a flick of his finger, the enormous Sun-Shining Cauldron appeared out of thin air, then crashed heavily to the ground, accompanied by a deep, resonant chime.

Lin Ran focused his mind, reviewing the refining method of the Breakthrough Pill and all the points to note in his mind once again. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and azure flames rose from his dark eyes, merging into the Sun Cauldron.

Let's begin alchemy!

I had some things to do today, so I only wrote 4,000 words. I'll make up for it with 10,000 words tomorrow, sob sob sob.
