Below, when Mo Tianxing received the two jade bottles, a faint heat flashed in his eyes.
Standing behind him, Mo Ya and Qi Shan were so excited that their bodies trembled slightly, their eyes brimming with barely concealed joy.
At this moment, the transaction between the two sides was essentially complete, and both parties were very satisfied with the outcome.
Zong Breaking Pill.
For such a renowned pill, Mo Tianxing was no stranger. Nor were Mo Ya and Qi Shan behind him.
The effects of this pill were no less enticing to them than to anyone else.
At present, the Black Emperor Sect had only one Dou Zong expert—Mo Tianxing himself.
That was the primary reason why the Black Emperor Sect had been able to stand firm in the Black-Corner Region for so long without falling.
From this, it was easy to see just how much deterrent power a Dou Zong held in this land.
For years, the Black Emperor Sect had wanted to cultivate a second Dou Zong to succeed Mo Tianxing.
The one with the greatest potential, naturally, was Mo Ya, who had shown exceptional cultivation talent since childhood.
Over the years, the sect had poured countless resources into Mo Ya, allowing him to reach the level of Dou Huang before the age of thirty.
However, producing a Dou Zong was not something that could be achieved simply by piling up resources and pills.
As a Dou Zong himself, Mo Tianxing knew this better than anyone.
The gap between Dou Huang and Dou Zong was massive, and breaking through it was extremely difficult.
Frankly, even with Mo Ya's talent, Mo Tianxing held little hope for him to reach the Dou Zong realm.
If it were that easy, there wouldn't be only a mere handful of Dou Zongs in the vast Black-Corner Region.
Even so, Mo Tianxing had never thought about giving up.
Not only because Mo Ya was his own son, but also because the sect had already invested far too much in him.
At this point, there was no turning back. The only option left was to give it their all.
If Mo Ya could become a Dou Zong, the Black Emperor Sect's strength would leap to a whole new level.
With two Dou Zongs and the sect's long-accumulated foundation, they might not unify the Black-Corner Region outright, but their territory and influence would at least triple—or even quintuple.
They could even become a superpower towering above the other forces in the region, a status far beyond their current position.
Of course, all of this depended on Mo Ya actually breaking through.
Given that Mo Ya's own strength alone made this highly unlikely, Mo Tianxing had long planned to seek out a pill that could boost his chances.
Without a doubt, the Zong Breaking Pill was the perfect choice.
And with the Deep Green Longevity Pill as well—which could grant Mo Tianxing an extra ten years of life—this deal was practically flawless.
The excitement in Mo Tianxing's eyes lingered for a moment before gradually subsiding.
Holding a jade bottle in each hand, he and the other two huddled together.
Qi Shan took one bottle from Mo Tianxing, then gently poured the dragon-eye-sized pill into his palm, studying it carefully.
After a moment, he exhaled softly, nodded, and looked at Mo Tianxing with a complicated yet admiring gaze.
"Sect Master, there's no doubt—this is indeed the Zong Breaking Pill, and the quality is quite high. One step more and it would have developed pill lines. The medicinal power is well preserved too. Judging by that, it was refined less than half a year ago."
Hearing this, Mo Tianxing's smile deepened. He nodded, carefully stored the Zong Breaking Pill away, and then began to inspect the Deep Green Longevity Pill.
As expected, there were no issues.
Mo Tianxing flicked his hand, storing the final jade bottle, then turned and cupped his fists toward Wei Yang, who sat in the seat of honor.
"Mister Wei, the pills are flawless."
Wei Yang simply nodded faintly, saying nothing.
Mo Tianxing didn't mind and smiled. "In that case, we'll take our leave."
"I don't want today's events reaching the ears of anyone beyond those present," Wei Yang reminded as Mo Tianxing turned.
"Understood. Mister Wei, rest assured—no one outside this room will ever hear of what happened today," Mo Tianxing replied solemnly.
With that, the three of them quickly departed.
Watching their figures vanish, Ah Da bowed slightly, his voice carrying a hint of eagerness. "Master?"
"Didn't I already promise not to pursue the matter further? Leave it be—no need for unnecessary complications," Wei Yang waved his hand.
"It cost a little more than expected, but it doesn't matter. And it's not worth wasting time over something so small. The sooner we leave, the less chance for trouble. Pack up—we're departing immediately."
"Yes." Ah Da could only put away his little schemes.
"Look farther ahead, don't fuss over trivial losses. And here I thought you used to be a Dou Zun," Wei Yang said slowly, rising to his feet. His gaze swept toward a certain direction, and his thoughts couldn't help but surge.
In his eyes, the extra price paid was nothing at all.
To obtain the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva two years ahead of schedule— even if it cost a little more— was something he could fully accept.
Now, his mind was no longer in the Black-Corner Region at all; it had already flown toward Central Plains.
The Central Plains— now that, was the real grand stage!But before that, there was still one last thing to do.
Great Plains of the Black Region.
High above the ground, five black-clad figures strode through the air.
Eventually, they came to a stop.
"We wait here," said the black-robed man in the lead.
From the voice, it was Wei Yang.
After leaving Black Emperor City that same day, the group had traveled without pause, rushing at full speed. After more than Ah Day of travel, they had finally arrived here.
Xian'er tilted her head slightly, the smooth curve of her small chin just visible beneath the shadow of her hood. She gazed toward the bright, clear sky above and softly asked, "Brother Yang, will the Nine Serene Wind Flame really be up there?"
Hearing this, Qing Lin and Ah Da both lifted their heads to look skyward as well.
Nine Serene Wind Flame— ranked tenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.
Right above this place?No matter how you thought about it, it sounded far-fetched.
Wei Yang's gaze also lifted toward the heavens.
The sky was a clear blue, the view unobstructed. Off in the distance, only a few lazy white clouds drifted.
In such a scene, it truly was hard to believe a Heavenly Flame could exist up there.
But Wei Yang gave a slight nod, his voice carrying a note of certainty, "I'm at least fifty percent sure— the Nine Serene Wind Flame is right above us."
The first time he came to Great Plains of the Black Region, Wei Yang had only a suspicion, no more than ten or twenty percent certainty. But now, it had risen to over fifty percent.
His certainty came not just from some faint, inexplicable intuition…but also from the massive black windstorm he had recently encountered— within it, his Black Flame had faintly caught a trace of something unusual.
On top of that, the strange fate that seemed to connect him with Heavenly Flames had bolstered his confidence even more.
Putting all of that together, Wei Yang now had an unshakable sense— the Nine Serene Wind Flame was up there.
"More than fifty percent!" Xian'er and the others were visibly surprised.
In their impression, Wei Yang's words were always reliable— he never exaggerated. If he said fifty percent, it usually meant at least sixty. That probability was already very high.
If nothing unexpected happened, the Nine Serene Wind Flame was practically within reach.
Off to the side, Ah Da was already getting excited.
If the flame really existed… it should be his turn, right?
Among the five of them, only he and Du Jiao lacked a Heavenly Flame.
And Du Jiao— that guy didn't need one at all.
So if they truly found the Nine Serene Wind Flame, Ah Da was confident it would end up in his hands.
Nine Serene Wind Flame— just the name alone made it sound like a perfect match for him.
And ranked tenth on the list.
Thinking about it that way, the sub-flame of the Life Spirit Flame didn't seem nearly as tempting anymore.
After all, if you had to choose between a sub-flame ranked fifth… and a main flame ranked tenth— which would you pick?
