Chapter 120: Qingshan Town

Seeing that Xiao Shan was not blinded by the pill's effect, Xiao Ming nodded with satisfaction and said, "Indeed, it's not that simple."

"Although this pill can make one's strength soar to the early stages of the Dou King realm, the strength obtained by taking this pill is obtained by overdrawing one's life potential, therefore, the person who swallows this pill will only have three years of life left."

Xiao Shan's face paled upon hearing the side effects of the pill, so he smiled bitterly and said.

"Cousin, you're not taking this out because you want me to take this pill, are you? Although the strength of a Dou King is tempting, I haven't lived long enough, my family is counting on me to carry on the family lineage, and these three years of life are too short."

"Do you really think I would do that to you?" said Xiao Ming, pretending to be offended.

Xiao Shan laughed at his words; he actually knew that Xiao Ming would not let him take that pill at the cost of shortening his lifespan.

"I gave you this pill because you will stay in the clan a lot in the future, so you can have it in case of emergency. That green-colored pill is the Deep Green Longevity Pill, which can increase life expectancy by ten years, so if an accident happens, whoever you give this pill to, will be able to live for a longer time, and if they are able to cultivate up to Dou Emperor during that time, the aftereffects of this Life Devouring Pill will naturally dissipate."

Xiao Shan was moved when he heard those words, wasn't this a quick shortcut to Dou Emperor?

"Then can I take this pill?"

"Naturally, you can, however, I'm not suggesting you to do so." Xiao Ming said.

"This Life Devouring Pill increases strength at the cost of consuming one's own life force, and even with the Deep Green Longevity Pill that increases life expectancy, it is very difficult to reach Dou Emperor in those thirteen years."

Xiao Ming was not talking nonsense, there were dozens of Dou Kings in the Jia Ma Empire, but there were only four known Dou Emperors.

The Jia Nan Academy also had dozens of Dou Kings, but not many Dou Emperors either.

One could imagine how difficult it was to go from Dou King to Dou Emperor.

Xiao Shan's talent was not bad, but he was not as good as the people who had reached Dou King.

That was why Xiao Ming had said that, and overdrawing his life force would cause some damage to his body.

This was also the reason why Xiao Ming had the Life Devouring Pill before, but he didn't use it as a quick method.

"Er... right." Hearing this, Xiao Shan smiled and added, "However, there is no need for you to give this pill to the clan, with your status, I fear that in the Jia Ma Empire no one would dare to touch our Xiao family, and with brother Xue Tian guarding the clan, there is also no need to fear if someone comes with bad intentions."

In Xiao Shan's opinion, perhaps only the Central Plains mentioned by his Jia Nan Academy classmates would be Xiao Ming's stage.

Xiao Ming smiled and took out two more bottles of pills from his storage ring.

This time it wasn't any high-tier pills, but the reward promised to Xiao Yu and Xiao Hu when they returned to the clan last time.

What was promised, naturally, he could not forget, and he might not have time in the future, so it was better to let Xiao Shan supervise and distribute them on his behalf.

Xiao Shan received the pills and talked to Xiao Ming about a few more things before leaving.

The next day.

Xiao Ming was seen taking a sleepy Zi Yan from the Xiao family and flying to the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

...

Near Wu Tan City, the nearest town to the Magic Beast Mountain Range was called Qingshan Town, also known as Magic Beast Town because of its proximity to the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

The majority of the people within this small town were naturally mercenaries who spent their days feeding their blades with blood.

They would go in groups, arm in arm, drooling in the streets, arguing with impunity about where the women of the town tasted better, where the wine was stronger, and where the magical beasts were fiercer.

Walking along the stone-paved streets, the young Xiao Ming and the enchanting Zi Yan naturally attracted many strange glances.

Xiao Ming just ignored them and pulled Zi Yan down the street slowly, as if he was looking for something.

On both sides of the street were many stores, and because of their location, they were quite popular.

Xiao Ming scanned the brightly lit stores with his eyes, and when his gaze landed on a spacious medicinal herb store, he stopped dead in his tracks.

Without hesitation, he led Zi Yan directly to this medicinal herb store, which was known as the Thousand Medicine House.

When he entered the spacious store, it was illuminated by the moonlit stones hanging on the walls as if it was daytime.

At that time, the store was quite crowded and the sales clerks were very busy, so there was no one to attend to Xiao Ming and Zi Yan, who had just entered. The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñòv€l-B1n.
