----------------------------------------

As the night wore on, the rest of the people of Greenyan Town discovered something that surprised them.

The dark inn at the entrance to town, normally a dreaded business for the people, had been reduced to ashes overnight.

Some daring people searched for a long time through the ruins of the inn and ended up finding the remains of several bodies that had not yet been burned.

In the end, the inhabitants of Greenyan Town concluded that the inn had messed with the wrong people.

So several of their leaders, along with all their elites, were killed in their own inn overnight, and their bodies were burned to the ground along with the inn in a fire!

In fact, the previous night's commotion at the inn was not small and had alerted some people for a long time, especially the powerful exchange of Dou Techniques between the two when Xiao Ming sneaked up on the withered five-star old man Dou Grandmaster.

It was like a thunder in the quiet black night, which woke up many people.

But what kind of place is the Black-Corner Region? It is usual to see people fighting in the streets, so people are not surprised.

People have already seen it all, so no one cares. Even if they hear that the inn is on fire, they gloat, laugh, and then go about their business.

...

After arriving at Jia Nan Academy, he lost this habit, as there was no hot spring at Jia Nan Academy, so he could only get hot water himself if he wanted to bathe.

Xiao Ming did not like it because it was too much of a hassle, plus he had always focused on cultivation and did not have so many demands to enjoy life, so most of the time he just bathed.

Although the bath was comfortable, Xiao Ming did not enjoy it too much. After cleaning his body, he put on clean clothes and sat on the bed.

In his hand, he held the withered old man's ring, and his soul power came out from his forehead.

It was a low-level storage ring, so Xiao Ming did not encounter the slightest obstacle and soon discovered what the withered old man had.

In the five cubic meters of storage ring space were several purple gold cards, each containing tens of thousands of gold coins, totaling more than 100,000 gold coins, which must have been the old man's harvest from previous robberies.

Along with them were some low-grade pills.

Other than that, there was only some change of clothes and food and so on.

'Is this all there is... ' Xiao Ming shook his head with some disappointment and was about to hang the storage ring on his own rope filled with other storage rings.

But then he seemed to find something in the withered old man's mess, and with a thought, two scrolls appeared in his hand.

They were the "Xuan Yin Dao", a low level Xuan Class Qi Method, and the "Dead Wood Method", a low level Xuan Class Qi Method.

Casually, he placed the scrolls against his forehead and read the information they contained, a moment later.

Xiao Ming opened his eyes and nodded his head in satisfaction.

Indeed, these were low-level Xuan-class Qi Methods, and the Withered Wood Method should have been practiced by the withered elder.

This Qi Method "Xuan Yin Duel", Xiao Ming did not know where it came from, These Qi Methods plus things in the storage ring, paid for all the pills yesterday, and still added up a small profit.

Not feeling the loss of capital made Xiao Ming in a good mood.

The goal now is to find out the whereabouts of the people in possession of Green Rock Mystic Water.

...

"You say they live in the most eye-catching mansion on the north side of Greenyan Town?"

A hoarse voice came from the mouth of Xiao Ming, who was wearing a black robe.

"That's right, my lord, I definitely don't dare to lie." Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the man in front of him, the innkeeper, whose cultivation level was only that of a Dou Master, trembled, fearing that the other party would kill him if he was not satisfied.

Seeing that the black-robed man did not say anything, he thought Xiao Ming did not believe him, he hurried to release all the beans.

"My lord, the two people you have asked about are known as the Green Poison Twin Ghosts in Greenyan Town, the eldest is called Green Ghost and the second is called Poison Ghost. Both of them have superior strengths in the Dou Grandmaster realm, and they are the strongest in the city apart from He Lai Inn."

Xiao Ming frowned at his words.

Green ghost, poison ghost, what kind of name was that?

Xiao Ming did know He Lai Inn, it was the name of the inn he had burned down yesterday...

"These Green Poison Twin Ghosts usually lure travelers inside the various inns in the city, this inn of mine is frequented by them, if you don't believe me, stay a few days and you'll see them, I would never dare to lie."

Xiao Ming looked at the innkeeper, whose legs were trembling, and spoke.

"What else do you know, tell me everything, like their Dou Techniques, they often appear in your place, it's not possible that you don't know anything, right?"

"I know, I know..."
