"Is this Central Plains? It seems so desolate here, but the energy of heaven and earth in the air seems to be much stronger than that of the North-Western Region." Xiao Yi Xian whispered as she looked around.
"Central Plains is naturally incomparable to those remote areas in the North-Western Region. Here are far more opportunities and stronger people. Therefore, we must be careful in our actions from now on." Xiao Ming replied, smiling as he deliberately looked at Zi Yan.
But at this moment, Zi Yan didn't notice Xiao Ming at all. Her little head was constantly looking around with excitement in her eyes.
Seeing that Zi Yan wasn't paying attention, Xiao Ming shook his head helplessly. He was about to continue speaking when Qing Lin, who was beside him, cutely asked, "Young master, where should we go now?"
Qing Lin's words left Xiao Ming thoughtful. He had never been to Central Plains before, so he didn't know where to go.
The most urgent matter now was to find someone to ask for directions and preferably buy a map. Otherwise, with the vastness of Central Plains, they could wander for years and still not reach Pill Tower.
With this in mind, Xiao Ming closed his eyes and his vast soul power rushed out from his forehead, spreading out in all directions.
After a moment, Xiao Ming opened his eyes and looked at the three women who were waiting quietly.
"Let's head southeast. There's a city a hundred miles away."
...
The distance of a hundred miles was relatively short for Xiao Ming and his companions, who had been traveling for half a month through the spatial channel.
They soon arrived at the city that Xiao Ming had mentioned, and the plaque hanging at the city gate identified it as Ba Cheng.
The city's noisy and bustling atmosphere overwhelmed them, having grown accustomed to the quiet of the spatial channel.
Ba Cheng was not smaller than any other city Xiao Ming had seen before, and perhaps due to proper planning, the entire city gave people a magnificent feeling. The busy streets were full of people, showing the city's bustling atmosphere.
After asking for directions from the locals, they headed straight to the largest map store in the area, where they purchased maps of the Central Plains and the distribution of various forces.
Then they continued their journey for the next two months, visiting various cities and buying many medicinal materials.
The Central Plains was the center of the continent, and its abundance of precious medicinal materials far surpassed those of the North-Western Region. In just two months, Xiao Ming had already collected all the medicinal materials needed to refine the Emperor's Stream Pulp Pill.
Additionally, all the medicinal materials required for the Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill, except for the two primary ingredients, had also been obtained.
It took Xiao Ming and his companions more than three months to travel from the Jia Nan Academy to the Central Plains, including their time on the road.
During this period, Xiao Ming did more than ten simulations, the most valuable of which were a grain of Spirit Nourishment Powder and the Core Lightning Bead.
Everyone was already familiar with the Spirit Nourishment Powder, so there was no need to explain further.
As for the Core Lightning Bead, it could be said to be even more precious than a single grain of Spirit Nourishment Powder.
It was made by using a peculiar refining method to refine a material called Core Bead, and only after successful refining could this thing be created.
The Core Lightning Bead was not meant for consumption, but its power was truly terrifying. If a Dou Venerate powerhouse were to be struck head-on by this object, they would suffer at least severe injuries, if not death. Even the toughest experts would likely have their skin peeled off from the sheer force of impact.
...
The stone square was vast and dominated by a massive stone platform that stood tall in the center. The platform had a pitch-black wormhole rotating slowly at its tip, emitting a constant and stunning spatial fluctuation.
After a moment of silence on the stone square, a series of low sounds erupted: "Pu! Pu!" A violent spatial fluctuation emerged at the wormhole, and figures flew out one by one, scattering and falling onto the square.
"We're finally out! These damn space wormholes are so boring..." After landing on the ground, Zi Yan took a deep breath of fresh air and looked around.
Beside her, Xiao Ming nodded in agreement and surveyed his surroundings. With more and more figures emerging from the wormhole, the once-quiet square quickly filled with life.
"Xiao Ming, is this the Pill Region?" Zi Yan asked curiously after relaxing for a bit.
"No." Xiao Ming shook his head and said. "This is just the center of Central Plains, also known as the Central Region. The Pill Region is located in the center of the Central Region, and it will take a few more days to get there."
"Ah." Zi Yan's face immediately contorted in a bitter expression, causing her cute features to wrinkle up like a bitter gourd.
As she observed Zi Yan's pouty expression, a playful smile appeared on the calm and composed face of Xiao Yi Xian.
"Xiao Ming, why don't we take a day off in a nearby city today? Since we're only a few days away from our destination." Xiao Yi Xian suggested.
Zi Yan, who was at her side, nodded her head. "I agree. We haven't rested in a long time."
"This... is fine." Xiao Ming pondered for a moment and slowly nodded his head.
"If that's the case, I'll check if there is a Pill Tower branch in this city. I can go there to get certified as an Alchemist."
"I'll accompany you." Xiao Yi Xian immediately offered.
"I need you to help me look after Qing Lin and Zi Yan. I don't feel comfortable leaving them alone." Xiao Ming shook his head.
During the past two months, they hadn't been traveling peacefully. Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, and Zi Yan were all among the most outstanding women in terms of appearance and temperament, and there were several times when others had malicious intentions towards them. As a result, Xiao Ming and his group killed several people.
Xiao Ming had no sympathy for these people who died at his hands. After all, they were all scum and didn't deserve to live.
Once Xiao Ming had made the necessary arrangements, Zi Yan cheered and her purple wings spread open. With a graceful movement, she took to the sky and flew towards the city in the distance.
Though Dou Emperors were not exceedingly rare in the Central Plains, they were still considered to be quasi-strong experts. Therefore, when some people in the stone square saw Zi Yan soaring into the sky, they cast envious and amazed glances, thinking that becoming a Dou Emperor at such a young age held limitless potential.
While they were still marveling, Xiao Ming grasped Qing Lin's waist and stepped into the void together with Xiao Yi Xian, turning into a streak of light and disappearing amidst the stunned gazes of the square.
"Stepping into the void? Dou Ancestor? Those two young people are Dou Ancestor experts?!" After Xiao Ming and Xiao Yi Xian disappeared into the sky, some people in the square finally regained their senses and exclaimed in disbelief.
In the current relatively peaceful Central Plains, Dou Ancestor experts were absolute powerhouses. Countless people worked tirelessly to reach this level, yet few could truly achieve it. It was not surprising that these people were in shock at seeing Xiao Ming and Xiao Yi Xian, such young Dou Ancestor experts.
After all, they did not appear to be over their twenties.
"Is this Central Plains? It seems so desolate here, but the energy of heaven and earth in the air seems to be much stronger than that of the North-Western Region." Xiao Yi Xian whispered as she looked around.
