The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

Princess Yaoye, who had been venturing into the martial world since childhood, parted her red lips slightly and began to recount the rumors she had heard from who-knows-where.

"The Netherworld Ice Phoenix? What kind of beast race is that? Is it comparable to the Ancient Void Dragon, one of the three great divine beast families of the Dou Qi Continent? And what about the Nine Netherworld Python and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix?" The group had just dismounted from the backs of the Wind Spirit Bird Xiao Xiao and the Purple-Winged Luan Bird and walked into Mu City. After all, the two flying beasts were too conspicuous, so Xiao Xuanyuan, who was usually very low-key, had to dismount early and enter the city.

"I don't know about that. I only heard this rumor from someone else. As for whether it's true or false, I have no way of knowing. I've only heard that many expeditions have entered that frigid northern land, but they all returned empty-handed. Many people even froze to death there and never came back." Princess Yaoye shook her head and stopped talking.

Hearing this, Xiao Xuanyuan felt extremely disappointed, but he was still somewhat unwilling to give up. He quickly asked through telepathy, "Elder Yao, does the Netherfrost Phoenix beast race exist in the far north? Is there really such a divine treasure as the Ice Saint Marrow? That's a whole level higher than me! If I get it, tsk tsk, I can immediately enter the Dou Ling Realm!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Yao shook his head: "I had heard of this before when I came here to search for the Strange Fire, but at that time I was only at the Dou Huang level and didn't have that much time to waste searching for such a sacred object. For the sake of the Strange Fire, I ran my legs off all over the Dou Qi Continent." Elder Yao sighed.

"Oh, I see. If we have time, we can go over there and see if there's any opportunity." Xiao Xuanyuan nodded and started paying attention.

"Don't even think about it, kid. The Netherfrost Phoenix is ​​hard to find. I heard from a friend that several powerful Dou Sheng level experts from the Central Continent came here together, but they all returned empty-handed. How could you possibly covet it now?" Yao Lao shook his head, denying Xiao Xuanyuan's idea.

"And this round trip will take several years just to travel, enough to make you cry. You'd be better off cultivating honestly and finding a different kind of fire to devour!" Old Yao had no choice but to remind him in this way.

"It's alright, I have a plan!" Xiao Xuanyuan said confidently. He wasn't just boasting. After visiting the Starry Sky Palace last time, he completely obtained the array inheritance of the grandmaster of array formations, Zong Wuyai. Not only that, after refining the array eyes in the Starry Sky Palace, he also learned that the Starry Sky Palace not only had a long-distance teleportation array deep in the back mountains of Wanyan Kingdom, but also several ancient long-distance teleportation arrays to other regions. Among them, there was one in the far north of the Black Domain Grassland. When the time came, he only needed to return to the Starry Sky Palace through the Starry Sky Grand Array in the back mountains of Wanyan Kingdom's palace, and then teleport to the far north from the Starry Sky Palace.

Xiao Xuanyuan naturally didn't tell Yao Lao about this method. He would wait until they returned from Canaan Academy before discussing it. As they chatted, the group entered Mu City.

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Young Master of the Blood Sect

"Look, a few big, fat fish have come..."

"Quickly inform the young sect leader! If we succeed, he will definitely reward us with a Xuan-rank cultivation technique! A Xuan-rank cultivation technique! Just thinking about it is exciting..."

Unbeknownst to Xiao Xuanyuan, after he entered Mucheng, two figures, one fat and one thin, were hiding in the dark corners of the city wall, their eyes secretly coveting his group.

After discussing it, the fat, bloated man secretly disappeared into a dark corner, his whereabouts unknown.

"Brother Xuanyuan, where are we going now?" Little Fairy Doctor asked with a smile, linking her jade-like arm with Xiao Xuanyuan's, her face filled with curiosity as she looked around at the unfamiliar town before her.

"Of course we should find an inn to stay in first. I haven't showered all day and I'm all filthy!" Princess Xiaoyue said with a look of dissatisfaction. It was clear that this first long journey was making her very unhappy. Princess Yaoye was by her side.

Queen Medusa, with a bright and innocent smile, linked arms with Xiao Xuanyuan on the other side and said with a smile, "Why don't we go shopping first and have some fun in the city?"

However, after glancing around a few times, she frowned and muttered, "Brother Xuanyuan, everyone here looks unhappy."

Xiao Xuanyuan turned his head and looked around, and then he roughly understood. This Black Corner Region was known as the most chaotic region in the Dou Qi Continent. Desperados and powerful figures from various countries and forces all came here. It was a mixed bag and the darkest region in the Dou Qi Continent. Every day, the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, would be played out. As long as you had the strength, you could even rape someone in the street and no one would stop you. People who survived in such a place were not good people. Otherwise, they would have been eaten to pieces long ago.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuanyuan shook his head slightly and explained with a smile, "The people here don't like to laugh. They all like to act cool and serious. As long as they don't offend us, there's no need to worry about it."

"Hehe, really? What if I offend you?"

Just as Xiao Xuanyuan was chatting and laughing with the women, a group of people blocked their way. A voice came from the young man who appeared to be the leader of the group, and it was full of sarcasm and malice.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuanyuan turned his head to look and saw a young man who looked to be in his twenties, with an abnormally pale face, extremely sinister eyes, and bloodshot pupils staring at him.

Upon seeing this young man, Xiao Xuanyuan had an extremely bad feeling, as if he were being viciously stared at by a venomous snake. In particular, his eyes, perhaps due to the bloodshot veins, seemed like a pair of sinister blood pupils, giving people a sense of extreme danger at any moment.

"Offend me? No need, sir. It seems we're not acquainted." Xiao Xuanyuan frowned, his fighting spirit surging through his meridians, ready to strike at any moment.

"Guards, escort the four beauties back to the Blood Sect. Remember, be polite." The young man turned his head slightly and instructed the guards following behind him.

"Yes, sir!" The dozen or so guards behind the young man bowed and accepted the order, then stepped forward to arrest the women who were following Xiao Xuanyuan.

As he spoke, the guards drew their weapons and surrounded him. Seeing this, Xiao Xuanyuan sneered. He now understood that this young man had his eye on Queen Medusa and the other women. In the Black Corner Region, the strong prey on the weak; the law of the jungle prevailed. As long as one possessed great strength, even open robbery wouldn't deter anyone.

However, Xiao Xuanyuan, a man of the world, was not afraid of such things. He immediately raised his hands, and his palms were filled with fiery battle qi. His figure flew out in an instant, like a ghost constantly clashing. The powerful battle qi surged and spread in all directions. Queen Medusa and the other women all took a few steps back. In less than a moment, more than a dozen guards lay like corpses, groaning in pain, lying on the ground around them.

The dozen or so guards were all top-notch fighters in the Blood Sect, who usually followed Fan Ling and protected him closely. But in less than a quarter of an hour, they were all lying on the ground. Seeing this, Fan Ling couldn't help but gasp. He had underestimated his opponent.

"Fine, you've dared to mess with our Blood Sect members here." Fan Ling's sharp gaze pierced through them, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. He stepped forward, ready to make his move.

At this moment, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but pat the dust off his hands and laughed, "Blood Sect, what a prestigious name! I've heard that in this Dusk City, no one dares to disrespect them." Xiao Xuanyuan had a teasing smile on his face.

"If you kneel before me now, call me 'Grandpa' ten times, and crawl between my legs, I might consider letting you go this time. Of course, those beauties beside you will have to obediently follow me." Fan Ling thought the other party was scared and said such cowardly words, so his face became much calmer and more composed. He believed that in this Dusk City, the name of the Blood Sect was the highest authority.

"Your offer might be tempting to others, but to me, it's like you're eating shit—utterly disgusting!" With that, a cold glint flashed in Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes, and he instantly transformed into a red blur, piercing the air with a "whoosh" as he charged towards Fan Ling.

Fan Ling was furious. He never expected that the other party would still dare to attack him after knowing his identity. This made him extremely angry. He had already vowed to kill this ignorant brat in front of him, otherwise he would not be able to quell his hatred.

A flash of crimson light appeared in the storage ring, and a blood sword appeared in his hand. Powerful battle qi poured into it, and Fan Ling roared, "Blood Tathagata!" The blood sword swiftly sliced ​​through the air, and a blood-red Tathagata Buddha statue appeared instantly, raising his fan-sized palm and striking forward.

"What a powerful fighting technique!" Feeling the powerful palm strike from Blood Tathagata, which even made the air crackle like popping beans, Xiao Xuanyuan dared not underestimate it. His fiery silver fighting spirit instantly filled his arm, and he shouted, "Eight Extremes Collapse!"

His feet instantly sprang up, leaving two slightly deep indentations on the ground, and his palms met the fan-shaped hand of Blood Buddha.

Boom! At first, the two seemed to make little noise when they clashed, but after a moment, the explosive power of both sides was released, and a powerful vortex of air was generated. The air was compressed and exploded with a deafening sound, and the shockwave was deafening.

Upon contact, a powerful force erupted, blasting both of them backward. Fan Ling only took three steps back before regaining his footing, releasing the powerful aftershock from behind. In contrast, Xiao Xuanyuan retreated seven or eight steps. Then, with a forceful stomp of his foot into the ground, a large, hard rock was crushed to pieces, his foot sinking more than half a foot into the earth. The powerful force, released as he spread his arms, caused the ground to shatter and explode in a series of loud bangs.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Public and Private Relationships

"Such powerful strength! Five-star Dou Ling level strength, indeed strong!" Xiao Xuanyuan was secretly shocked. Before the battle, Yao Lao had already warned him of the opponent's strength, but he had been eager to try. In recent days, through his fortuitous encounters, he had devoured several strange flames, wanting to test just how strong he was.

However, after trying it out, he realized that there was indeed a significant difference between those of different levels. If it weren't for the powerful battle qi attribute of the strange fire, his arms would probably have been broken in the clash.

On the other side, Fan Ling's heart was filled with shock. Xiao Xuanyuan looked young and did not seem to be a junior with any powerful backing. He had already seen through his strength and found him to be only a six-star Great Dou Master. That was why he made a decisive move. He believed that with his overwhelming strength, he could seriously injure his opponent in one move. But the result he saw now was unbelievable.

At this moment, Fan Ling's mind began to race. He searched through all his memories but couldn't find a single piece of information about the young man in front of him. It was as if he had suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the Black Corner Region. Could this guy be from another force outside the Black Corner Region?

Thinking this through, Fan Ling had to take the matter more seriously. He sheathed his blood sword. It was true that the Black Corner Region was the most chaotic and darkest area on the Dou Qi Continent, and he knew every powerful force operating there. Since the other party didn't belong there, Fan Ling felt he shouldn't act rashly before figuring out their origins. After all, eliminating them in public and provoking retaliation from the potentially powerful forces behind them would be a huge loss.

There is precedent for this. In the past, a certain sect, relying on its power in the Black Corner Region, killed a man in full view of everyone and forcibly abducted a young girl. This angered the powerful giant behind it, who sent a large number of strong people to besiege this sect in the Black Corner Region for ten days and completely eradicated it. At that time, it was like a bomb exploding in deep water, causing the entire Black Corner Region to tremble.

Therefore, Fan Ling stopped, sheathed his blood sword, and cupped his hands to Xiao Xuanyuan, saying, "Brother, it was all a misunderstanding. My sect received a secret letter saying that an enemy sect sent a spy to test me." Seeing that the situation was not good, Fan Ling had no choice but to change his expression.

"Misunderstanding? Heh, didn't you just say you wanted to..." Seeing the other party's attitude change so quickly, Xiao Xuanyuan had a teasing look on his face. He really wanted to see what kind of treasure this guy was up to.

"How about this? I, the young sect master, treat you to a drink at the Blood Comes Pavilion. Besides, the Twilight City Auction is about to begin. I can arrange for you to go in and have a look. If there are any good treasures, I can help you bid for them." Fan Ling was quite sincere.

"Oh, it seems you're quite sincere. That's beyond my expectations. But this matter..." At this point, Xiao Xuanyuan turned to look at the girls beside him and saw the indignant look on their pretty faces. It seemed they were still angry about his rudeness earlier.

"If you have any instructions, please speak." Fan Ling lowered his posture.

"It's nothing. As long as you apologize to my wives and provide some spiritual herbs, this matter will be over." Xiao Xuanyuan knew that the women were resentful, so he said this. In addition, he wanted to take the opportunity to extort some spiritual herbs. It would be a waste not to make money, but that's not his style.

Upon hearing this, Fan Ling's expression shifted and he looked troubled for a moment, but after a while he felt relieved and said, "Since that's the case, then I agree. Come, this way, brother!" With that, Fan Ling led the way in a very polite manner, while the guards on the ground had already been carried away by his other subordinates to be treated for their injuries.

The Black Corner Region is located in a corner of the Black Plains, but the rules here are simple: the law of the jungle prevails, and the strong prey on the weak. As long as you are strong enough, no one will dare to stop you from doing whatever you want. The prerequisite is that you must have the strength.

In the Black Corner Region, numerous powerful forces stand like lush trees. In Dusk City, there's the Blood Sect, a leading sect, and in other cities, there are other top-tier forces as well. Therefore, facing the Blood Sect now, Xiao Xuanyuan doesn't intend to openly confront them. He's only just arrived in the Black Corner Region and needs to familiarize himself with everything; he doesn't want to make such a formidable enemy so soon, being constantly hunted down. Everything must be done discreetly.

However, if it were truly a head-on confrontation, with Elder Yao and Queen Medusa present, even a Dou Zong-level expert would likely not return alive. With such confidence, Xiao Xuanyuan remained remarkably calm and composed.

Following Fan Ling, the young sect leader, Xiao Xuanyuan and his group arrived at the top restaurant in Mu City, "Blood Comes Restaurant." This restaurant was owned by the Blood Sect, and no one dared to act recklessly. Its decor was extremely luxurious and grand.

After a series of treacherous banquets, Xiao Xuanyuan and his companion became very close, soon calling each other brothers and exchanging toasts. In reality, both sides had their own plans, but neither spoke openly, slowly probing each other's intentions.

"Come on, brother, this Blood Spring wine is truly excellent. You'll have to come here with me for a few more drinks in the future." After a round of warm pleasantries, Xiao Xuanyuan, not one to act like a subordinate, immediately referred to himself as the eldest, and the other as the second eldest. Fan Ling didn't mind, addressing him as "Big Brother" repeatedly and very warmly.

"Alright, this restaurant is owned by our Blood Sect, so we can't do without your support, brother." Fan Ling was extremely enthusiastic. Judging from this, if you didn't know the inside story, you would think that the two were good buddies getting to know each other.

After some conversation, Xiao Xuanyuan learned that the auction in Mucheng is held twice a year, with the most recent one scheduled for tomorrow night. This time, he heard that in order to support the event, the Blood Sect Master Fan Lao has spared no expense and brought out several rare treasures for auction, with the aim of attracting customers from other places.

Upon hearing Fan Ling mention that one of the herbs was an extremely rare spiritual herb called Golden Dragon Beard, Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes lit up. Golden Dragon Beard was a valuable item; rare and precious spiritual herbs were priceless and unavailable these days, meaning even with money, there was nowhere to buy them. This herb could be used to refine several fifth-grade spiritual herbs, making it extremely potent.

Recently, due to his rapid advancement, Xiao Xuanyuan was worried that his foundation was not solid enough. Sometimes he felt a sense of instability and lack of control over the activation of his flame battle qi. This stagnant feeling was a side effect of his rapid advancement.

Therefore, he needed to follow the old medicine master's instructions and had already begun collecting the medicinal materials needed to refine the fifth-grade "Dragon Return Pill".

"Of course, of course. If you're short on funds, brother, you'll have to lend a hand!" Xiao Xuanyuan said with a smile. Since this guy was trying to get close to him, he figured he might as well take advantage of him. So, the two, who were secretly plotting their own schemes, laughed and chatted on the surface.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Silver Phoenix Armor

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was the evening of the second day. The large-scale auction held by the Blood Sect in Twilight City officially began.

Having spent so much time with the old apothecary, Xiao Xuanyuan's standards have naturally risen. Now, he no longer cares about ordinary items. Unless it's an extremely rare treasure, he doesn't even have the motivation to raise his paddle. He stares blankly at the auction stage as the auctioneer auctions off item by item.

Although Xiao Xuanyuan kept yawning, he couldn't resist the interested gazes of the women beside him. After all, they were also curious and wanted to see if they could find something they liked. Princess Yaoye, who had seen the world, was naturally very calm. As for the other three women, it was their first time seeing this, and they all looked very interested. They even kept urging Xiao Xuanyuan to take a look, which puzzled him quite a bit.

"What we're presenting today is the Silver Thread Phoenix Soft Armor, crafted from Heavenly Silkworm Snow Silk and a number of rare-grade materials. Our auction house has tested it; its defensive capabilities are sufficient to withstand a full-force attack from a Dou Wang-level expert, and it remains unscathed even from a normal attack from a Dou Huang-level expert. It's an extremely powerful defensive treasure..."

"I believe everyone understands its value. Wearing this silver phoenix soft armor is like having an extra layer of protection..." The auctioneer was an elderly man with white hair. He spoke eloquently as he introduced the auction item he was holding.

Hearing the old man's introduction, the powerful figures from all sides below were eager to try their luck and began to covet the soft armor. Having this defensive soft armor would provide an extra layer of protection in battle; who wouldn't want it? Thus, amidst the commotion, one person stepped forward and asked, "Judging from the name, this Silver Phoenix Soft Armor seems to be a woman's item?"

"Ahem... This soft armor is indeed a special item for female cultivators, but when it comes to protecting one's life, men and women are actually the same. The starting price is now 300,000 gold coins, and each bid must be at least 500!" After saying that, the old man had a maid take the soft armor away and began the auction.

"Only female cultivators can wear this?" Upon hearing this, the powerful figures from various regions frowned. In fact, there were far more men than women. Generally, female cultivators, unless from a privileged background, were considered appendages of the powerful and wouldn't show their faces in public. After all, they faced restrictions. However, if they were exceptionally talented and came from forces with abundant cultivation resources, female cultivators wouldn't be in a subordinate position; at the very least, they possessed strength comparable to men!

Therefore, Xiao Xuanyuan actually understood quite well that in this auction house, the number of female cultivators was extremely small compared to that of male cultivators. In fact, they could be counted on one hand. For male cultivators, any female cultivator with a bit of beauty or who caught their eye would probably be abducted as a concubine or used as a cultivation furnace. In that case, their fate would be extremely tragic and dark!

After learning that the Silver Phoenix Armor was actually a high-end defensive item specifically for female cultivators, most of the powerful figures in the auction house decided to withdraw from the bidding, leaving only seven or eight people to participate. Among these were a few female cultivators and several elderly men who appeared to be bidding for their families' younger generations.

Seeing the few people bidding indifferently, the elderly auctioneer in charge of the auction also showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes. However, this was expected and he was not too surprised. He still started to create an atmosphere with enthusiasm to make the bidding more understandable.

Upon seeing the defensive soft armor specifically designed for female cultivators, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but shake his head. He had originally thought he could buy it and use it, but unfortunately, it was for women.

He remembered his encounter with that lovely girl in the Monster Mountain Range a few months ago. He risked his life to save her and heal her wounds, and almost faced danger several times. Unfortunately, she didn't seem to appreciate it, which made him very frustrated. Thinking of this, Xiao Xuanyuan sighed.

However, that person was wearing a close-fitting soft armor underneath. During the battle with the Amethyst Winged Lion King, it was thanks to that close-fitting soft armor that the opponent's heart meridian was protected. Otherwise, with the Amethyst Winged Lion King's combat power, Yun Yun might have been killed with just one claw!

"Sigh, I wonder how she's been lately?" Thinking of this, Xiao Xuanyuan's thoughts drifted back to the Monster Mountain Range, recalling the crimes he had committed against her after being provoked. Even so, Xiao Xuanyuan felt no regret, because that woman deserved it; she had to bear the consequences of his anger.

"Sixty million gold coins! Is there anyone else who wants this? This is a treasure armor that can withstand the full force of a nine-star peak Dou Wang, and it can even withstand attacks from Dou Huang level experts. As long as it's taken out, even if it's given to future generations, it will be an extraordinary treasure..." In order to sell this silver phoenix soft armor for a better price, the old auctioneer used all his skills and shouted loudly.

"Sixty million gold coins for the first time..."

"Seventy million!" A moment later, a female cultivator wearing a ghost mask shouted in a clear voice. Following the shout, Xiao Xuanyuan looked over and was slightly taken aback when he saw her attire. However, he smiled knowingly after a moment, understanding that she did not want to reveal her identity in this situation.

"Seventy-five million!" However, a soon-to-be ugly old woman offered a new price for the silver phoenix armor. This price was practically the armor's maximum value. The elderly men participating in the auction shook their heads slightly and ultimately fell silent. They wanted to buy the armor as a gift for their descendants, but spending too much would betray their original intentions. After all, their true purpose in coming here was for the treasures to come, not for a piece of women's defensive armor. Spending too much here would weaken their bidding confidence later, which would be a loss.

Therefore, at this point, only three female cultivators remain to bid.

"Eighty million gold coins!" Not long after the old ugly woman made her bid, another female cultivator stepped forward, looking determined to win. Xiao Xuanyuan looked at her and felt that beneath her restrained demeanor, her aura was overwhelming, like a mountain. No wonder she was so confident and didn't need to hide behind a mask. Her strength was probably above the Dou Wang level. Xiao Xuanyuan was secretly shocked and sighed that the Black Corner Region was full of hidden talents.

After hesitating for a while, under the sharp gaze of the powerful woman, the ugly old woman could only sigh and give up bidding, leaving only the woman wearing the ghost mask.

Seemingly sensing the strength of the other party's aura, the woman with the ghost face hesitated for a moment, but in the end she gritted her teeth and shouted out the bid of "eighty-five million"!
