Black Rock City was a large city in the eastern part of the Monster Mountain Range, with very complete facilities.
Compared to the mysterious Lord of Wutan City, Lin Fei's father, the Lord of Black Rock City, was a genuine Dou Wang expert. Although he was only a 1-Star Dou Wang, he was undoubtedly a local tyrant in Black Rock City.
Black Rock City also had a complete Alchemist Guild, whose President and Vice President were both genuine Grade 4 Alchemists. In the Jia Ma Empire, they would be considered to be among the top figures in the pyramid.
After all, the entire Jia Ma Empire only had one Grade 6 Alchemist, Gu He, and one Grade 5 Alchemist, Fa Ma.
Whoosh!
In the sky, Chen Yang unfolded his Dou Qi wings, while Little Fairy Doctor unfolded the Purple Cloud Wings that Chen Yang had given her some time ago. The two flew directly into Black Rock City from the sky.
Keep a low profile?
There was absolutely no question of keeping a low profile.
Another month had passed, and Chen Yang was now at the peak of the 8-Star Dou Huang level, only one step away from the 9-Star Dou Huang level. As long as Yun Shan did not come out, even if Jia Xingtian came, he would have to kneel before Chen Yang, who had various Earth Rank cultivation techniques and Earth Rank Dou Techniques.
Whoosh!
Inside the City Lord's mansion, Lin Fei's father sensed a powerful aura sweeping across the sky. He hurriedly went outside and ascended into the sky, where he encountered Chen Yang head-on.
"What a handsome young man!"
Lin Li did not go to see Little Fairy Doctor. Although he had never seen flying Dou Techniques, Little Fairy Doctor's aura as a 1-Star Great Dou Master was still very obvious. In comparison, this handsome young man was the one who made him feel much more pressured.
"Friend, I am Lin Li, the City Lord of Black Rock City!" Lin Li stopped in mid-air and cupped his hands in greeting to Chen Yang.
"Greetings, Lord City Lord. However, I do not wish to be disturbed. Please go ahead and attend to your business, Lord City Lord," Chen Yang said with a cupped hand and a smile.
'I am the Emperor? This young man is actually a Dou Huang powerhouse?' Lin Li was shocked upon hearing this. He suspected that Chen Yang was lying, but the oppressive aura emanating from the other party was undeniable.
"Please do as you please, my lord. If there is any need for assistance, Lin Li will do his utmost." To gain the friendship of a young Dou Huang powerhouse, and to have him humble himself a little, was a win for Lin Li no matter what.
"Of course, of course!" Chen Yang cupped his hands in greeting to Lin Li again, smiled, and then, together with Little Fairy Doctor, transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the sky.
Meanwhile, people on the ground were already buzzing with discussion.
A mysterious Dou Wang powerhouse had arrived in Black Rock City. Even though Black Rock City was a major city in the Jia Ma Empire, it was still a topic of conversation that could be discussed for days!
...
After landing, Chen Yang took Little Fairy Doctor to a fine inn and booked a courtyard for two months.
"Husband, are we going to stay in Black Rock City for so long?" Upon entering the courtyard, the servants had already cleaned it spotless.
As Little Fairy Doctor sprinkled some insect repellent on the ground, she asked Chen Yang a question.
"Is this the first time you've called me husband?" Chen Yang looked at Little Fairy Doctor and asked with a smile.
"When you're out and about, you naturally have to give your husband face…" Little Fairy Doctor chuckled, checked the bed, and nodded in satisfaction after finding it very sturdy.
Chen Yang smiled when he saw Little Fairy Doctor's actions. He used his Dou Qi to clean the teacups, poured tea for the two of them, and said slowly, "We don't necessarily have to stay in Black Rock City for that long, but it will be more than a month!"
Little Fairy Doctor nodded; she was merely puzzled, not questioning Chen Yang's decision.
Besides, she also said that wherever Chen Yang was, that was home. Although this courtyard was just an inn, it was much better than the backyard of the Magic Poison Sect's shop in Qingshan Town.
"You can stay here and cultivate in peace!"
"Although the medicinal herbs in the city are not as fresh as those in the Monster Mountain Range, they have a wider variety. Moreover, there is an Alchemist Guild here. I'll go and find them for you and refine all the poison pills I know how to make."
Chen Yang said with a smile.
"Thank you, my husband!"
Little Fairy Doctor smiled sweetly, stepped forward and gave Chen Yang a quick kiss on the cheek, just like a little girl in love.
"Yes, my lady!"
...
In the days that followed, Chen Yang and Little Fairy Doctor settled down in Black Rock City, spending their days cultivating, strolling around, refining medicine, and practicing together.
They lived a very comfortable life.
Sometimes Chen Yang would leave Black Rock City with Little Fairy Doctor to meet the Amethyst Winged Lion King outside.
As of now, Chen Yang had not found a way to shrink the Amethyst Winged Lion King and its cub, which was quite troublesome.
Days passed by, and in the blink of an eye, a month and a half had gone by.
On this day, after Chen Yang finished practicing with Little Fairy Doctor, the World Tree in his sea of consciousness trembled. A Gleaming Gold Leaf sprouted from the branch representing Alchemy. It scanned the fluctuation of the region's peak alchemist.
[Gleaming Gold LeafofGrade 4 Alchemist.]
The leaf shimmered, its veins turning from gold to a deeper, more radiant hue. It curled inward, transforming into a Golden Fruit of Alchemy.
[Golden Fruit of AlchemyofGrade 5 Alchemist.]
The fruit detached and dissolved into mist, pouring into Chen Yang's spiritual sea. He felt his understanding of pill formulas deepen instantly. He was now a Grade 5 Alchemist.
Instantly, a vast amount of information flooded Chen Yang's mind, and his hands began to itch and change.
This information did not harm Chen Yang at all; on the contrary, it was as if it unlocked his own skills, instantly making Chen Yang the most powerful Grade 5 Alchemist on the Dou Qi Continent.
'Xiao Yan was also late, taking more than a month to arrive in Black Rock City.'
Chen Yang shook his head, ignoring Xiao Yan's reaction.
Next, Xiao Yan would linger in Black Rock City for a few more days before going to see him.
...
The next day, Chen Yang led Little Fairy Doctor to the Alchemist Guild.
This was not Chen Yang's first visit to the Alchemist Guild in Black Rock City. When a waiter saw Chen Yang arrive, he hurriedly came to greet him.
"Master, another batch of new medicinal herbs arrived today. Master Frank instructed that they were all reserved for you!"
The waiter looked at Chen Yang with a respectful expression.
A few days ago, when Chen Yang came to visit the Alchemist Guild, he was unsurprisingly stopped by the burly man at the entrance. Chen Yang then displayed the strength of a Grade 4 Alchemist. Afterwards, he exchanged words with Frank and Otto. Although he was not wearing an alchemist's robe now, he had become a familiar face in the Black Rock City Alchemist Guild.
"Is there an alchemist assessment today?" Chen Yang nodded and then asked.
"Sir, you are truly prescient! Today, both President Frank's and Master Otto's disciples will be taking the Grade 1 Alchemist exam!"
The waiter smiled and said to Chen Yang.
"Has it started?"
Chen Yang continued to ask.
"No, neither of the ladies has arrived yet!"
The waiter replied respectfully.
Just then, the burly man's voice came from the doorway. "Young man, this is the Alchemist's Guild. Do you want to go in? Do you have a letter of introduction from your mentor?"
Chen Yang turned his head and saw Xiao Yan, dressed in black and carrying the Xuan Heavy Ruler, being stopped at the door.
"Young man, this person at the door is my friend, please let him in!"
Just as Xiao Yan looked embarrassed and was about to touch his nose, Chen Yang shouted loudly.
"Huh?"
"Brother Yang?"
Xiao Yan looked up in the direction of the sound and saw Chen Yang holding the hand of a girl with a very slender waist.
"So you know Master Chen Yang! Young man, please come in!"
The burly man at the door instantly changed his attitude completely and hurriedly let Xiao Yan in.
"Forehead…"
"Thanks!"
Xiao Yan finally found his way out and walked into the Alchemist Guild, where he stood before Chen Yang.
Seeing this, the waiter wisely moved a little further away, but did not leave.
"Brother Yang, when did you arrive in Black Rock City?"
Xiao Yan looked at Chen Yang and asked curiously.
As for Little Fairy Doctor being led by Chen Yang, Xiao Yan said he wasn't surprised at all.
'She's a Dou Huang powerhouse at such a young age, can't she have a few female confidantes?'
"I've been here for a while now. Let me introduce you. This is Little Fairy Doctor, your sister-in-law!"
"Xiao Yan, I'm Little Fairy Doctor!"
Chen Yang introduced the two of them to each other.
"Little Fairy Doctor?"
'So you are the Little Fairy Doctor from the Magic Poison Sect's shop in Qingshan Town?'
Xiao Yan looked at Little Fairy Doctor and instantly remembered who she was.
"Hello!"
Little Fairy Doctor smiled and nodded at Xiao Yan.
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
Xiao Yan realized what was happening, scratched his head, and ended up calling Little Fairy Doctor by her title.
"Not bad, a 3-Star Great Dou Master. It seems you haven't slacked off in your training during this period."
"Your alchemy skills must have reached the third rank by now, right?"
Chen Yang glanced at Xiao Yan and nodded.
"Just lucky!"
"We have to thank Brother Yang!"
Xiao Yan reached out and touched his nose again, laughing.
"Hahaha…"
Hearing the familiar "lucky guy" voice, Chen Yang reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"Brother Yang, I'm already a Grade 3 Alchemist now. If your alchemy skills don't improve soon, I'll catch up with you in no time!"
Xiao Yan looked at Chen Yang and smiled.
"Then you can keep chasing me at your own pace. I'm already at the fifth rank!"
Chen Yang clicked his tongue, turned around, and gestured to the waiter while holding Little Fairy Doctor's hand. The waiter hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way.
"What?"
"Brother Yang, you're already a Grade 5 Alchemist?"
Xiao Yan was utterly shocked…
