NOVEL NEXT Chapter 117: Preparations and Instructions
Chapter 117: Preparations and Instructions
After Ya Fei left, Su Yun returned to his room, contemplating the upcoming journey to Jia Nan Academy.
In the Jia Ma Empire, using Phantom Step and a mask to disguise himself was manageable.
However, Jia Nan Academy was a different story.
His tricks could easily fool a Dou Emperor, but in front of a Dou Ancestor, his true identity would likely be exposed.
At the Dou Ancestor level, the increase in soul power is significant and cannot be underestimated.
For instance, it would be difficult to hide from the Grand Elder of the inner academy, Su Qian.
Not to mention the two elders, Qian Bai and Qian Lao, who were both just a step away from reaching the Dou Venerate realm. The Phantom Shadow Step, a mid-level Xuan class Dou Technique, couldn't possibly evade their scrutiny.
If he really needed a disguise, it wasn't impossible. The memory of the Nether Lotus Demon Saint contained a Dou Technique that could change his form and aura directly.
But this Dou Technique was of the Heaven level, low grade. He didn't dare to use it.
The Miteer family had been sending many magic cores sporadically, and with some effort, he could barely gather one.
But it was too expensive, and he couldn't bear to part with it.
Going in circles, he might have to use his true identity after all.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Su Yun's face.
Honestly, he was getting tired of always wearing a mask.
Wearing a mask for too long makes it a part of your face, and removing it would be excruciating.
Meanwhile, Mu Zhan and the man in black arrived near Wu Tan City.
Mu Zhan was anxious.
"So, is Ya Fei still here?"
A look of helplessness flashed under the black robe.
"Word from the capital is that she left Wu Tan City for the capital a few days ago. She should arrive today."
Mu Zhan's face turned grim, clenching and then relaxing his fist.
"In that case, the Jia Ma Empire is no longer worth my attachment.
I'll go with you!"
...
Another ten days passed, and Ya Fei used the previous favor to gain his support in taking control of the Miteer family.
This didn't surprise Su Yun; she was never one to settle for an ordinary life.
Moreover, she was very skilled in business. Letting her control the Miteer family would generate more profits, which was beneficial for him.
After all, the Miteer family was now under his influence.
He summoned Hai Bodong and Miteer Tengshan, entrusting them with this matter.
With his personal instruction, neither of them dared to object. What followed was a series of power transitions and other trivial matters, which need not be mentioned.
With matters in the capital mostly settled, Su Yun began preparations to head to Jia Nan Academy.
One day, Su Yun gathered Xiao Yixian, Qing Lin, and Hai Bodong together.
Once they were seated, Su Yun began to instruct them.
"Old Hai, the enrollment period for Jia Nan Academy is approaching. Make sure to handle all matters with the Miteer family.
Tomorrow, take Qing Lin to Peace Town."
Hai Bodong nodded, indicating his understanding.
Qing Lin's current strength was too weak and did not meet Jia Nan Academy's enrollment criteria, so Hai Bodong would take care of her.
They had previously decided that Hai Bodong would take Qing Lin to Peace Town.
Strictly speaking, it was still within the Black-Corner Region but under the jurisdiction of Jia Nan Academy.
The academy's enforcement team maintained order there. Anyone harboring murderous intentions would be expelled.
No one dared to cause trouble there; it was like an oasis in the desert, the last piece of pure land in the Black-Corner Region.
"Additionally, Old Hai, be extremely cautious when you reach the Black-Corner Region. It's not like the Jia Ma Empire; it's filled with powerful individuals. Don't be careless."
Hai Bodong waved his hand dismissively.
"Don't worry, I know."
"The top experts on the Black-Corner Region's power ranking are only at the Dou Emperor level. My combat strength is already capable of matching peak Dou Emperors, so there shouldn't be any issues."
Su Yun smiled.
"Better to be cautious.
Quite a few powerful individuals in the Black-Corner Region disdain competing for spots on the ranking. From what I know, there are at least three genuine Dou Ancestors there."
Hearing this, Hai Bodong was startled.
"Really? I've never heard of that."
Su Yun shook his head. This guy's confidence had soared after breaking his seal and significantly improving his strength.
Su Yun's words carried a hint of caution, hoping Hai Bodong would be more mindful.
"The founder of Demon Flame Valley, the Earth Demon Old Ghost, the Black Emperor Sect's leader Mo Tianxing, and the Elder of Eagle Mountain are all Dou Ancestors.
On the power ranking, the Golden and Silver Elders combined can rival a Dou Ancestor.
The Medicine Emperor Han Feng, at the peak of Dou Emperor, possesses the Heavenly Flame Sea Heart Flame, allowing him to briefly contend with Dou Ancestors.
Many of the old powers have multiple Dou Emperor experts.
Old Hai, you must be very careful when you go there."
Su Yun's face was full of meaningful intent.
Hai Bodong's mouth twitched slightly.
After Su Yun's detailed explanation, his previously arrogant heart became much more humble.
The Black-Corner Region truly was a gathering place for the strong.
Seeing Hai Bodong's reaction, Su Yun felt somewhat relieved.
This guy, obsessed with peak duels, might just get himself killed if he wasn't careful.
"I will be cautious."
"Old Hai, there's no need to be overly modest. Once you're in the Black-Corner Region, try to gather all the ingredients for the Emperor's Extreme Pill and send me a message.
With that, your strength can advance even further."
Hearing this, Hai Bodong quickly nodded.
When it came to his own strength, he couldn't afford to be negligent.
After his strength was fully restored, Su Yun had informed him about the ingredients needed to refine the Emperor's Extreme Pill.
He had also asked the Miteer family to search for them.
However, due to the tight schedule and the need to meet Su Yun's demands, there hadn't been enough liquidity to gather all the materials.
They would have to look again in the Black-Corner Region.
The Emperor's Extreme Pill could increase one's strength by one to two stars. If he was lucky, he might even break through to the nine-star Dou Emperor level in one go.
After giving all the instructions, Su Yun looked at Qing Lin, a gentle smile on his face.
"Qing Lin, remember to take care of yourself and cultivate well when you get there."
Qing Lin's eyes showed a hint of reluctance, but she still nodded.
Qing Lin needed to work hard on her cultivation to be able to help in the future.
Su Yun patted Qing Lin's head.
It would still be a long time before this little girl fully matured in every sense.
For now, she would stay under their protection.
Finally, Su Yun dismissed the two and turned to Xiao Yixian with a smile.
Xiao Yixian immediately threw herself into Su Yun's arms, her delicate face buried in his chest, savoring every bit of her beloved's scent.
After a moment of intimacy, Xiao Yixian got up from Su Yun's embrace.
"Are you ready?"
Su Yun's gaze was fixed on Xiao Yixian's face, never tiring of looking at her.
"Yes."
Xiao Yixian nodded, a hint of shyness in her eyes.
Being gazed at so intently by her beloved, Xiao Yixian's face showed a unique girlish bashfulness.
