MM Racing 6. In the Black Corner Domain
6. In the Black Corner Domain
Black Corner Region, Maple City, Medicine Emperor's Palace.
In the Black Corner Region, everything is based on strength. Even a Dou Huang can only wield power in a fixed area. The real leaders are all those who have advanced to the Dou Zong level.
However, there is one exception: Dan Emperor Han Feng. He not only commands the entire Maple City but also commands numerous Dou Huang and Dou Wang powerhouses. This is entirely due to his unparalleled alchemy skills in the Black Corner Region. Few know that the renowned Dan Emperor Han Feng is the first disciple of Yao Chen, the continent's number one alchemist.
At this moment, in the most central location of the Medicine Emperor's Palace, Han Feng was quietly meditating and cultivating, holding a ball of sky-blue flame in his hand. Strangely, the flame did not emit heat, but rather the aura of the ocean.
A sudden voice rang out in the silence: "Han Feng."
Upon hearing this, Han Feng instantly abandoned his relaxed and graceful cultivation posture and subconsciously replied, "Master?"
However, as soon as he spoke, Han Feng's bewildered eyes turned sinister as he scanned the entire hall.
A black-clad figure stood silently at the entrance of the main hall. Han Feng crushed a jade pendant in his hand. Xiao Yan's ruthless voice rang out: "Is the Medicine Emperor looking for them?"
Six dead dog-like bodies were thrown by Xiao Yan in front of Han Feng. Han Feng's eyes narrowed and his fighting spirit began to surge.
His setup of one Dou Huang and five Dou Wang was silently dismantled, and the person in front of him gave him an extreme sense of crisis.
"Who are you? Everyone in the Black Corner Region knows my name, Han Feng. Let's talk this over."
However, Xiao Yan walked straight out the door, and a soul appeared.
The moment Han Feng saw the soul form, his face turned deathly pale: "Old... Yao Chen, you're still alive?"
The old doctor stared at Han Feng silently, his eyes filled with unspeakable disappointment and overflowing anger.
Xiao Yan leaned against the door of the Medicine Emperor's Palace. Yao Lao told him to give Yao Lao some time. Xiao Yan took out a jade slip from his storage ring, which contained intelligence from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion: "The Holy Maiden has been born. You must obtain the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill and present it to the Holy Maiden Qing Lin."
This was Xiao Yan's first encounter with an auction in the Black Corner Region. The auction was quite spectacular, featuring not only fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame Map and Earth-rank movement techniques, but also a seventh-grade pill, the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, refined by Han Feng. After the Blood Sect's factions in the Heavenly Serpent Mansion engaged in a power struggle, Xiao Yan acquired several items, including a jade slip. He then came here to help Yao Lao eliminate Han Feng.
Looking at the jade slip, Xiao Yan felt a slight headache. He had encountered the Red Lotus Karmic Flame when he left the mercenary group, so seeing this information now made him very worried about his older brothers and his former maid, Qing Lin.
"It seems that now that the Canaan Academy matter is settled, I must go and check out the Heavenly Serpent Mansion," Xiao Yan muttered to himself.
A moment later, Yao Lao walked out of the main hall with a complicated expression and tossed a storage ring to Xiao Yan.
"Teacher?" Xiao Yan asked tentatively.
"The storage ring contains the fifteenth-ranked Sea Heart Flame and a large fortune. Let's go to Canaan Academy."
Seeing Yao Lao's current condition, Xiao Yan knew he should give Yao Lao some time. With a flash of his wings, he sped off towards Canaan Academy.
……
"Xun'er, aren't you planning to enter the inner academy this year? How long have you been waiting?!" The woman in blue said with exasperation. If Xiao Yan were here, he would recognize her as Ruolin, the Canaan Academy instructor who had once come to Wutan City to recruit students.
The girl in front of Ruolin wore a light blue robe with a blue silk sash around her waist, which alluringly accentuated her slender figure. Her long, flowing black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, and her stunning beauty would put any confident woman to shame. At this moment, a hint of apology graced her beautiful face as she softly said, "Instructor Ruolin, I'm sorry, but if he can't make it, I won't participate this year."
The woman in blue said resentfully, "I really don't know what kind of bewitching potion that scoundrel has given you. He's been pursuing you for so many years, and you haven't even given him a second glance. You've been waiting for him for so long, why don't you hurry up and come over?"
Xiao Xun'er grabbed Ruolin's arm and said coquettishly, "He must have been held up by something. Don't worry, Instructor Ruolin, Brother Xiao Yan will definitely come this year!"
"Okay, I've given you all the names. You should get some rest. Just thinking about that kid makes me angry."
As soon as Ruolin left, Xiao Xun'er's face showed a hint of longing. Although she had already learned from Ling Ying that Xiao Yan had advanced to the Dou Huang realm and caused a huge uproar in the Yunlan Sect, the closer she got to meeting him, the more she missed him.
"Xun'er." A voice that Xiao Xun'er had longed for countless times rang out.
Xiao Xun'er looked at her doorway with surprise and delight; the black figure there was none other than Xiao Yan, whom she had been longing for day and night.
"Brother Xiao Yan!"
Xiao Xun'er threw herself into Xiao Yan's arms, fully enjoying the unique scent that belonged to him.
Xiao Yan wrapped his arms around Xiao Xun'er, looking at the stunningly beautiful face in his arms. Compared to two years ago, Xiao Xun'er's face had lost some of its youthful innocence, becoming even more mature and beautiful.
Xiao Yan wrapped his arms around Xun'er's slender waist, enjoying the delicate fragrance emanating from her dark hair.
After remaining in this position for nearly three minutes, Xiao Xun'er felt her body temperature slowly rising. She pulled Xiao Yan to a mountaintop and said to him, "Brother Xiao Yan, this is where Xun'er cultivates. Look at that rock."
Xiao Yan saw the marks on the stone, which were clearly man-made.
Xiao Xun'er pretended to be angry and said, "These were all carved by Xun'er before you arrived. I'll add one more each day." Then she smiled and said playfully, "Teacher Ruolin seems to hold a grudge against Brother Xiao Yan. She'll probably get scolded tomorrow."
"There's nothing I can do about it; I've been in a deep sleep for most of the past two years."
Under Xiao Xun'er's questioning, Xiao Yan told her everything he had experienced over the past two years. Upon learning that Xiao Yan had become a Dou Huang, Xiao Xun'er teased, "Brother Xiao Yan is already a Dou Huang! He's probably the only student at Canaan Academy who has graduated without ever attending classes!"
Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yan sat on the edge of the cliff, with Xiao Xun'er leaning on Xiao Yan's shoulder as he recounted his eventful experiences.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan took out a jade box from his storage ring and handed it to Xun'er, saying, "Consider this a gift for Xun'er."
Xiao Xun'er opened the jade box, and what came into view was a pill that shimmered with golden light. Two small golden dragons floated on the surface of the pill, and if you listened closely, you could hear faint dragon roars.
"What is this?" Xiao Xun'er asked curiously.
"A seventh-grade elixir, the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, can break through the bottleneck and establish a new one. It will be useful when you need to break through your bottleneck in the future."
Xiao Xun'er smiled and happily accepted it.
"Xun'er also has a gift for Brother Xiao Yan. Please close your eyes first."
Xiao Yan then closed his eyes, and Xun'er looked at him, her beautiful face blushing slightly.
With his eyes closed, Xiao Yan caught up with Xiao Xun'er as she slowly approached him. Then, he felt a cool, delicate sensation on his lips. Before he could fully appreciate it, he already heard Xiao Xun'er running away into the distance.
Xiao Yan chuckled softly, "This girl, I still have something to say."
