Qingyang Market, Southwest District, Black Dragon Triad Qingyang Branch Altar
This was a black building complex, which almost completely covered the entire Southwest District. There was not even a path for people to walk on. Just by looking at this black building complex, it could be seen how domineering the Black Dragon Triad was in Qingyang Market.
The outer wall was about two feet high and was built with thick black stones. In the middle of the wall was a thick black iron gate. From a distance, it looked like a small city wall. Inside the wall, the eaves and cornices were faintly visible, and the pavilions seemed to be hidden. Of course, this was only what could be seen from the outside.
In Qingyang Market, except for the people of the Black Dragon Triad, there were people from the yamen. Except for the master, the advisor, and the arrester, no one had ever stepped through the black iron gate.
In the north corner of the Black Dragon Triad, there was a small garden. In the garden, there was a small three-story building. The building was not big, but it was exquisite. On the cornices of the four corners of the building, there was a golden bell hanging. When the wind blew, it made a clear and melodious "Ling Ling" sound.
In the night, a hazy light was reflected from a window on the third floor. This was the only place in the whole building that was lit.
The room behind the window was very spacious. A red carpet with golden edges was spread on the floor. The golden edges of the carpet sparkled under the light. On the north wall, there was a huge painting. In the painting, there was a huge black dragon soaring in the clouds. It was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. It was full of vigor.
Under this huge painting was a golden chair. At this time, there was a person sitting on the chair. He was about 60 years old, wearing a golden silk robe, and on his two cuffs were embroidered nine intertwining black dragons.
On the left and right sides of the golden chair, there were four silver chairs arranged side by side. They were all occupied, including men, women, and children. The youngest was a woman in red, about 30 years old. Her delicate pink face carried a murderous aura that did not match her appearance.
The room was very quiet. Except for the subtle and long breathing of the people, there was no other sound. At this time, even if a needle fell to the ground, it would certainly be heard with a clear jingle.
"Everyone, this is the case. The news has been confirmed. More than half a year ago, the One-eyed Wolf of West Mountain appeared in a mountain village belonging to Qingyang Market. But he did not hurt anyone. He was repelled by a sergeant named Wang Tianlei. Everyone, what do you think?"
After a long silence, the old man sitting on the golden chair broke the silence. His eyes wandered on the faces of the eight people on both sides, as if he wanted to see through their thoughts from their expressions.
A few years ago, he was conscripted into the army and has been guarding the border of Yuezhou's Divine Martial Arts City. He's a corporal. It's said that he has a good understanding of martial arts. With the help of the Dark Bear Fist and the Herculean Strength Qigong, he has already cultivated to the realm of a Rank-1 martial artist. He's only one step away from touching the edge of Bone Forging. It's a pity that he doesn't have a strong background and is illiterate. His military exploits were taken from him.
The one who spoke was the woman in red with a pink and murderous aura. In a few words, she told them the main experience of Wang Tianlei.
"The Level One Warrior Realm?" A middle-aged man sitting opposite her slightly frowned. "If the legend of the One-eyed Wolf is true, it should already belong to the category of evil beasts. A Level One Warrior Realm, no matter how strong he is, could not force it back!"
"Altar Leader Tong, are you doubting my information?" The murderous aura on the face of the woman in red suddenly intensified.
"No, Hall Leader Wei's information has always been accurate. I just feel that we may have missed something in the case of the One-eyed Wolf. After all, an evil beast, even the lowest level, is comparable to a Level Four or Five Warrior. In any case, a Level Two Warrior Realm could force it back. This is a little bit unbelievable!"
"Yes, it is indeed a little unbelievable. I didn't believe it at the beginning!" The old man sitting on the golden chair gently waved his hand to extinguish the sparks created by the collision. "However, after many verifications, this information is confirmed to be correct. I don't know why the One-eyed Wolf suddenly left, but I can be sure of two facts. First, the information about the One-eyed Wolf is true, and it does exist. Second, it was Wang Tianlei who forced it back on his wedding day. According to the descriptions of all parties, the One-eyed Wolf had the absolute upper hand at that time, and it could even kill Wang Tianlei at any time. But in the end, it suddenly left. In the eyes of those villagers, it was Wang Tianlei who forced it back!"
"That is to say, the One-eyed Wolf was not forced back by Wang Tianlei, but left by itself. This is somewhat reliable!" said Altar Leader Tong.
"Humph!" The woman in red snorted coldly and turned her head to one side.
"We don't know why the One-eyed Wolf retreated on its own. But we only need to know that it really exists!"
"Not only does it exist, but it must be an evil beast!" At the mention of the word "evil beast", a middle-aged man sitting diagonally opposite to the woman in red could not help but show a hint of madness in his eyes.
"What Little Gold said is right. The One-eyed Wolf is an evil beast, and that is the most important thing!" The old man nodded heavily, with the same brilliance flashing in his eyes.
Evil beast, that was the most important thing.
As long as it was an evil beast, it would have an Inner Elixir, which was the most precious treasure for those who practiced martial arts and Qi.
In this world, the Inner Elixir of the evil beast was the same as the Inner Elixir that Little Shiba had seen in martial arts novels. Of course, there were still many similarities.
The Inner Elixir of the evil beast was formed by condensing all the essence and pneuma of the evil beast before its death. It varied in size, but generally speaking, no matter how big the evil beast was, its Inner Elixir was at most the size of a fist, and some of the smaller ones were the size of soybeans.
The Inner Elixir of the evil beast was very useful. The essence of the Inner Elixir contained strong vitality, which was of great benefit to those who practiced martial arts. For example, if the Inner Elixir of the evil beast was added to the medicinal soup lotion used to wash the tendons and reshape the marrow, the effect would be greatly improved.
However, the Inner Elixir of the evil beast was not easy to find. Although the continent was vast, there were countless evil beasts in the deep mountains and forests. Take the Misty Mountain as an example, there were many evil beasts in the depths of the Misty Mountain.
The problem was that you couldn't catch them!
Not to mention those innate evil beasts, even the lowest one, which had just evolved from ordinary beasts, had strength equivalent to that of a Level Four or Five warrior. This was not the main difficulty. In the world, there were many warriors with the cultivation of Level Four or Five. The problem was that the evil beasts lived in the deep mountains and swamps, with barren hills and unruly rivers. If you wanted to find the evil beasts, you could only go to such places, such as the depths of the Misty Mountain. Even if a warrior of the Primordial Realm went there, he could barely protect himself. If he was unlucky, he would lose his life there, let alone hunt the evil beasts.
Moreover, in such places, there was more than one evil beast, but a group. If you attacked one, it would alarm the others, and the result would be very miserable.
It was almost impossible to find an evil beast in a place where humans lived or where there were many people.
But today, the Black Dragon Triad seemed to see an opportunity.
The One-eyed Wolf in the West Mountain.
The legend of this lone wolf had been passed down for a long time, almost more than a hundred years. But it did not spread widely, only in some mountain villages around Qingyang Market. In the early years, the Black Dragon Triad was not interested in such a legend, and at most regarded it as a strange story in the countryside.
But it was different this time!
Because the One-eyed Wolf did appear, and according to the legend of the mountain people nearby, there was a 90% chance that the One-eyed Wolf was an evil beast, and it was the lowest among the evil beasts, the easiest kind to deal with. It was an ordinary beast that had evolved into an evil beast by some chance.
Such an evil beast was generally not very intelligent, and the most important thing was that it was found in the West Mountain.
For the villagers, the West Mountain was very deep in the Misty Mountain, but for warriors, the West Mountain was just the edge of the Misty Mountain. In such a place, except for the One-eyed Wolf, there could not be other evil beasts. From this point, it could be seen that the One-eyed Wolf should have just cultivated into a demon, otherwise it would not be so easily exposed to others, and it would not live in a place like the West Mountain. But they believed that it would not be long before the One-eyed Wolf's spiritual wisdom fully matured, and it would certainly leave the West Mountain and enter the depths of the Misty Mountain. At that time, even if they wanted to catch it, they would not be able to.
"That's it then. Look at the weather, it's going to snow soon. Let's hurry up and enter the mountain before the snow falls. As long as we get the Inner Elixir of the One-eyed Wolf, we will have made a great contribution!"
"We are willing to follow the First Elder's orders!" Several people answered in unison.

"Well, it looks like it's going to snow. This damn Yunzhou, it always snows in winter. It's really troublesome!"
An incomparably handsome young man stood at the door of a small inn in Qingyang Market, frowning as he looked at the gloomy weather. Feeling the gusts of cold wind blowing from the north, he seemed to be thinking of something bad. His seemingly delicate body could not help but shiver a few times. "Really, my blood is almost frozen, how can I have the strength to go into the mountains and gather herbs?"
This young man was about 17 or 18 years old. He was extremely handsome, with rosy skin, as soft as tofu. When he pinched his skin, water would flow out, and his big eyes were even covered with a layer of mist. He wore a cyan gown, with a white silk belt around his waist, on which hung a piece of cyan jade. His long black hair hung behind his head, casually tied into a ponytail. There was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, as if everything in the world was a joke in his eyes.
"Sigh, it seems that I really can't slack off. I'd better hurry up and enter the mountain. It's best if I can pick the herbs before the winter snow comes. Otherwise, I'll have to suffer from the cold in the mountains. Why can those two guys enjoy life on the mountain, but I have to come to this damned place in the middle of winter? What a miserable life! "
The muscles on his face twitched twice, and then he turned around and walked into the inn.
