In Luosha City, within a luxurious manor in the city center, a voluptuous, scantily clad woman lazily asked, reclining on a jade couch in the hall. A closer look revealed a tattoo of a dazzling black flower,
beautiful yet deadly, on her cheek, near her ear. Below, a shirtless man knelt on one knee and respectfully replied, "Master, the four elders have led the Luosha Guards to seal off the city's four gates. The remnants of the Thousand Pharmacy will not escape our Luosha Sect's grasp!" This beautiful woman was, of course, Luosha Sect Master Su Mei! "Excellent!" Su Mei's delicate waist slowly straightened, revealing her magnificent breasts. Unfortunately, no one came to admire such a beautiful sight. As for the fierce man kneeling below, he curled up like a frightened kitten, staring intently at the ground, not daring to look up. "Tell them I only give them one hour!" "Within one hour, I want to see all of Luosha City restored to normal, and the entire inventory of the Thousand Pharmacy Shop must be placed before me, untouched. Got it?" Su Mei's tone was unusually gentle, but to the large man's ears, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "Yes... yes, Sect Master, I'll go inform the four elders right away!" After receiving Su Mei's response, the large man fled the hall in a panic. Squinting at the other man's disappearing figure, Su Mei slumped back onto the couch. "Thousand Pharmacy Shop, Medicine King..." "I don't know what exactly happened, but with the Medicine King dead, the Thousand Pharmacy Shop is such a huge piece of meat, countless people will surely want to take a bite. If our Luosha Sect is slow, I'm afraid the benefits will only benefit other hungry wolves in the end..." The fierce battle outside Black Seal City completely destroyed the environment within a radius of thousands of meters. The surrounding mountains, incinerated into molten lava by the strange fire, were particularly shocking to all the powerful experts who arrived to investigate! What kind of battle could have left behind such a horrific battlefield? With everyone's concerted efforts, the forces in the Black Horn Territory finally uncovered some clues... but even this glimmer of information caused everyone who understood the situation to gasp! Han Feng, the Black Horn Territory's foremost alchemist and Lord of Maple City, known as the Medicine Emperor, had fallen?! Remember, that was the Medicine Emperor! With a flick of his finger, he could summon over half of the Black Horn Territory's forces and experts! While his opponent wasn't a top-tier Dou Zong, if he so desired, countless powerful individuals within the Black Horn Territory would be willing to serve under his command. Even overlords like the Black Emperor Sect and the Demon Flame Valley wouldn't want to provoke such a being... The sheer power of a high-ranking alchemist—no one could possibly imagine! Such a tragic death... and such an unexplained demise... This sent mixed reactions throughout the Black Horn Territory! However, regardless of joy or sorrow, the moment these people confirmed Han Feng's death, their first thought was how to divide up the incredible wealth left behind by a formidable alchemist who had proudly stood at the top of the Black Horn Region for decades! The brunt of this impact was Thousand Pharmacy, a chain of pharmacies with branches in one-third of the major cities in the Black Horn Region. As the largest distributor of medicinal materials in the entire Black Horn Region, the exact extent of Thousand Pharmacy's wealth was unknown. While some had previously coveted such a lucrative opportunity, after Han Feng, with a single order, summoned three Dou Huangs and five Dou Wangs to annihilate the ill-intentioned, top-tier faction, no one dared to challenge the Medicine Emperor's authority. But now, with the Medicine Emperor's death... In an instant, all factions, regardless of whether they had grievances or grudges against Han Feng, jumped in. "Rakshasa City, Hei Min City, and Blood Lion City—at least the thousand medicine shops in these three cities must belong to my Rakshasa Sect, and only my Rakshasa Sect!" Within a hundred miles of Rakshasa City, there are only two second-rate cities, Hei Min City and Blood Lion City, controlled by two second-rate factions, the Hei Min Sect and the Blood Lion Gang. The strongest members of each are only three- or four-star Dou Wang. Even so, Su Mei's capture of these two places will not be easy. The thought of this gave Su Mei a headache. "It's just that I have too many useless subordinates!" Besides Su Mei, the Dou Huang-level leader of the Rakshasa Sect, there's only one deputy leader, a one-star Dou Wang-level one. The strongest of the remaining four elders is only a seven-star Dou Ling. This has created an awkward situation where the Rakshasa Sect is more defensive than aggressive. Although Su Mei has been trying to break this situation for years, Dou Wang-level experts are not something you can just find. In the Black Horn Region, a Dou Wang could easily form a second-rate faction, occupy a second-rate city, and become the ultimate overlord. Under such circumstances, who would be willing to serve as someone else's subordinate? Thinking of these troubles, Su Mei suddenly kicked off her embroidered shoes in anger, then tucked her round, smooth feet under her skirt and huddled down on the bed. ...
After settling into his own quarters, Mo Tang slowly journeyed through the vast city of Luosha.
The blockade had been lifted, and the Luosha guards that had occasionally appeared on the streets had vanished. However
, due to the previous incident, the entire city now seemed somewhat desolate. Except for those like Mo Tang who paid no heed to the Luosha guards, everyone else, locals and outsiders alike, approached with caution.
Walking slowly down the street, Mo Tang's gaze flickered through the shops on either side.
He came across a number of pharmacies along the way and inquired about them, but they weren't large, so nothing caught his eye.
As for healing elixirs of the fifth grade or higher, forget it!
After turning two streets, Mo Tang finally stopped in front of a sprawling attic-style pharmacy.
He looked up...
Qianyaofang!
Three large golden characters gleamed in the sunlight.
Mo Tang couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It was indeed the largest chain drugstore in the Black Horn Region,
so common that he could find it everywhere. With Qianyaofang here, he should be able to find what he wanted.
However, as Mo Tang's gaze shifted downward, he suddenly realized that Qianyaofang, which should have been the busiest place, was now completely closed...
Why was that? Was he really going to return empty-handed this time?
