Chapter 24: Making a Small Profit

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.

...

Last night, Xiao Ming, who had found a random place in the wilderness to spend the night, entered Greenyan Town once again.

Donning a brand new black robe, he walked down the street, listening to the occasional discussion from the people around him, inwardly pausing in surprise.

'I didn't expect this to cause such a stir, let's hope it doesn't alert those two ambushers. If not, it will be difficult, I don't know what they look like. In the heat of yesterday's fight, I didn't measure my hand and actually forgot to leave any of them alive, it's really annoying'.

At the end of the thought, Xiao Ming frowned a little, a little worried.

Speaking of which, yesterday's fight was Xiao Ming's first real battle where he saw flesh and blood, so it was normal for him to have some trouble holding back.

Compared to the students at the academy, the group of human traffickers at the inn were all ruthless and worked well together.

Although they attacked him separately, they also used some joint tactics from time to time, which could be described as extremely vicious, causing him a lot of trouble and even some injuries.

Some of these details are still fresh in Xiao Ming's mind even now.

Xiao Ming dared to say that, had it not been him, but someone else who was besieged yesterday, even if that person's strength was a few stars above his, he would have been buried on the spot.

The danger was there, and the reward was naturally obvious.

At least Xiao Ming felt more proficient in the use of his own Dou Techniques.

Whether it was the Xuan Red Flame Sword Class Advanced Dou Technique, the Xuan Red Flame Palm Class Advanced Dou Technique, or the Xuan Shadow Chasing Wind Class Advanced Dou Technique that his master had given him before.

Or the ones Xiao Ming got from the simulator later, the Sanyan Void Spirit Seal, or the Duel of Nourishing Spirits, Xiao Ming had gained a new sense of comprehension, and the Dou Qi around his body was more condensed and ran more smoothly.

'Last night, I swallowed a lot of pills in order to recover my Dou Qi and physical strength, hopefully, the loot collected will be worth it, otherwise, it's really a big loss.'

Yesterday, during the fierce fight, Xiao Ming had not stopped taking pills to recover his Qi, and to be on the safe side, the pills he ingested were still of the third tier, so as to ensure the recovery speed of his Dou Qi.

Even ordinary third tier consumable pills were not cheap.

After looting the corpses, Xiao Ming did not directly check what he had harvested, but instead looked for a place to rest while wondering if he had lost some money.

'Forget it, there must be more than one inn in Greenyan Town, first, look for another inn to stay in, take stock of the harvest and clean up body hygiene. The simulator mentioned that the people at yesterday's inn had information about the ambushers, so I think the people at the other inns will also know something'.

With this thought in mind, Xiao Ming put his mind back to the idea, walking his way through the crowd, looking for an inn.

As Xiao Ming thought, Greenyan Town was not small, and in fact, there were other smaller inns.

Xiao Ming chose one that looked more formal and stayed there.

...

Inside the room, a huge wooden barrel was placed in the spacious room.

Inside the barrel, strands of white steam rose from the still water.

Xiao Ming stood next to the barrel, stretched out his palm and touched the surface, nodding his head.

'Not bad, it's simple warm water, looks like this inn has no bad intentions at the moment.'

After saying that, Xiao Ming took off his clothes and dipped his whole body into the water, letting out a soothing sound.

'Ai~, comfortable'.

'Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've bathed like this.' Xiao Ming rinsed his body as he lamented.

Depending on one's physiological state, keeping the water temperature at a temperature less irritating to the skin could have a relaxing effect on the body and mind.

When Xiao Ming was in the Xiao family, he liked to go to the back mountain to soak in the hot spring every day after his training as a way to relieve his fatigue.

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..."
