"Brother Muyang, you must come to Anling Prefecture to see me when you have time!"

As the Medicine King ate, Gu Lingyun watched Mu Yang's departing figure with a reluctant expression, but in the end, she couldn't help but shout out loud.

For some reason, Xiao Cui, who was standing nearby, also shouted, "If you don't come, I... I'll definitely beat you up for my young lady!"

Mu Yang simply waved his hand without turning his head, then mounted his horse and rode away on Little Black.

The matter at Medicine King Valley has been investigated and the guilty have been killed and the spoils taken. Mu Yang will naturally not stay any longer.

Although the source of the human trafficking has not yet been identified, this matter involves too many factors and cannot be rushed.

It's not that the forces behind it are particularly powerful; there are simply too many of them.

Just like ants.

You can say they're weak, easily crushed with a flick of a finger, but you have to admit, there are just too many of them.

Leave professional matters to professionals. Mu Yang is only good at killing demons, and may occasionally kill fewer people.

But he's not good at things like investigations.

"This silly girl..."

Watching Mu Yang's dashing departure, Gu Tingquan felt as if he could already foresee his younger sister's fate.

Such a prodigy would not be content to remain in the shallow pool of Liangzhou; his stage must be the Central Plains, the imperial dynasty, and the entire Great Jing Dynasty.

Although my younger sister has a good personality and is quite beautiful, making her a top choice in Anling Prefecture, she is still not competitive enough in the Great Jing Dynasty.

Putting aside everything else, the three famous beauties of the capital city of Dajing are all listed on the list of most beautiful women.

Not only were they the most beautiful women in the Great Jing Dynasty, but they were also exceptionally talented and brilliant.

In comparison, her younger sister was practically no match for her.

Simply put, little sister, you can't handle such a prodigy!

Of course, Gu Tingquan didn't say it directly.

Some things don't need to be said explicitly; as time goes by and distance grows, they naturally fade away.

..................

That night.

Moon stars are rare.

In a dense forest.

"roar--!!"

A beastly roar rang out in the quiet forest, startling many sleeping insects and birds, who scattered in all directions.

However, before they could make a move, the sound abruptly stopped.

The tiny brains of the insects and birds didn't allow them to make too many guesses. Seeing that there was no sound, they returned to their nests peacefully after a few moments of fussing and went back to sleep.

Meanwhile, at the source of the beast's roar.

A large, fourth-tier black bear demon was lying on the ground.

It stared with terrified eyes at the dark figure standing on it, radiating a terrifying aura.

Having just finished eating a human that evening, it was preparing to return to its cave to sleep when, unexpectedly, a human riding a horse suddenly appeared.

It was just about to have a late-night snack when the snack in front of it suddenly turned into a tiger and knocked it down with a single punch.

He thought death was imminent, but the other person just stood on it and didn't make a move.

As for why?

Naturally, it's because Mu Yang is considering what to put in his equipment inventory.

That's right, the one who defeated the black bear demon was Mu Yang, who had just ridden Little Black down the mountain.

He originally planned to find a quiet place to sort through his harvest and equip himself with some gear.

Unexpectedly, they encountered a fourth-tier black bear demon.

In the past, he might have directly equipped himself with the enhanced storage crystal.

But now, having the entire treasure trove of Medicine King Valley in his hands, he's preparing to equip himself with something else.

............

[Ding! Main item - Small Sleeve Pouch - Enhancement complete, stat quality improved!] *2

[Storage (Blue) → Storage (Purple)] *2

............

[Ding! The following techniques have been equipped: "Wooden Prism Dantian Construction Method", "Rock Solid Dantian Construction Method", "Golden Spark Dantian Construction Method", "Raging Wave Dantian Construction Method", "Gentle Fire Dantian Construction Method", and two Small Sleeve Pouches (Tier 2, Purple)!]

............

These five methods for building the dantian were collected by Mu Yang from the secret chamber of Medicine King Valley.

Perhaps due to the large number of offerings received, it contains a considerable amount of systematic martial arts, including six complete sets of methods for building the dantian, opening the meridians, and opening the acupoints.

In addition to the Qingnang series that Mu Yang had already equipped, there were also five sets that he had just equipped.

"Done!"

Once his equipment inventory was full, Mu Yang absorbed all the true energy generated from the five Dantian Construction Methods in the time it took to breathe.

He was no longer the Qi Condensation Realm martial artist who had just entered the fourth stage. With a mere thousand or so strands of high-grade true qi, he didn't need to find a special place to condense his qi and purify his mind.

"big......"

Perhaps seeing that Mu Yang had not killed him for a long time, the black bear demon opened its mouth to beg for mercy.

But as soon as it uttered the word "big," a fist rapidly enlarged in front of it.

"Bang--!"

............

[Ding! Detected that the host has slain a fourth-tier black bear demon. The equipment "Wooden Prism Dantian Construction Method," "Rock Solid Dantian Construction Method," "Golden Spark Dantian Construction Method," "Raging Wave Dantian Construction Method," "Gentle Fire Dantian Construction Method," and two Small Sleeve Pouches (Tier 2, Purple) have met the conditions for permanent solidification. This equipment has been permanently solidified!]

Current number of available equipment slots: 7

..................

"What a pleasant surprise!"

Mu Yang withdrew his fist, shook the blood off his hands, casually drew the black gold four-sided mace from his waist, and smashed the black bear demon's head to pieces amidst Xiao Hei's excited gaze.

"Come on, Little Black, here's an extra meal for you."

With a casual wave of his hand, Mu Yang unleashed a torrent of true energy, which enveloped the black bear demon's shattered brain and flesh, sending it flying to Xiao Hei's front.

After all, Xiao Hei is only at the mid-stage of the third rank. If the black bear's head isn't processed a bit, it will be troublesome for Xiao Hei to digest it.

"Whoosh—!!!"

(Thank you, Master, for your loyalty!!!)

Little Black excitedly raised its front hooves and then happily began to eat its delicious midnight snack.

While Xiao Hei was having a snack, Mu Yang put the black bear demon's corpse into his sleeve pocket and then went into its cave.

The cave was small, but very dry.

It was lined with dry grass and leaves, probably the kind of bed a black bear demon would use.

With a casual wave of his hand, Mu Yang cleared the cave with wind blades and water streams. After a while, Mu Yang found an open space to sit down and began to sort through his harvest.

There are many treasures in Medicine King Valley, and quite a few of them are of the sixth rank.

For example, there are six different meridian opening methods, sixth-tier acupoint opening pills, sixth-tier Qingnang pills, and sixth-tier weapons and armor.

But the most precious item was undoubtedly the sixth-tier precious medicine that Xiao Tusi had specially stored in a contraption-like box.
