Chapter 25

Blackwater Mountain Range.

Blackwater City!

This small city, once obscure, began to flourish and gain popularity with the various demonic beasts and treasures from the Blackwater Mountain Range, gradually becoming a well-known major city.

Inside Blackwater City, if you have money, you can enjoy all the supreme luxuries.

Blackwater City has numerous brothels, filled with beautiful women of all kinds, offering everything one could desire.

Blackwater City has a large amount of fine wine brewed by various tribal dynasties, worth a fortune.

In addition, various mystical techniques, divine weapons, and sharp tools are also available in abundance.

It is precisely because of these things that Blackwater City has become prosperous and thriving today, attracting experts from all directions who consider it one of their homes.

...

"Big sale! A third-stage demonic beast, the Green Cloud Tiger cub, for ten thousand silver taels, guaranteed to be worth the price."

"Second-stage pet demonic beast, the Snow Rabbit, cute and lovable, a must-have for all beautiful ladies passing by!"

"Ten-year-old Yin-Yang Grass, originally priced at thirty thousand silver taels, now on sale for just nineteen thousand eight hundred silver taels. You didn't hear wrong, nineteen thousand eight hundred silver taels! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't miss it!"

"Recruiting ten martial artists of the Seventh Heaven of Martial Dao, with excellent benefits and guaranteed safety!"

"Sky Soaring Adventure Team, recruiting fifty martial artists of the Sixth Heaven of Martial Dao and above, with full board and lodging, plus high bonuses and year-end benefits. What are you waiting for? Join the Sky Soaring Adventure Team now!"

...

Entering Blackwater City from the main road, Lin Fei was immediately attracted by the various shouts, a bustling atmosphere enveloping him.

"What a great place, truly deserving of its reputation as a city that thrives because of the Blackwater Mountain Range!"

After five days of continuous travel, Lin Fei's tired face finally showed a hint of joy.

Dismounting from the chestnut horse, he walked down the bustling street, where martial experts could be seen everywhere, some in peculiar attire. Lin Fei felt a surge of excitement—was this the legendary world of martial arts?

Finding a place, he sold the chestnut horse for seven hundred silver taels. The Blackwater Mountain Range was about one or two hundred miles away from Blackwater City, and keeping the chestnut horse was no longer practical. Even if he returned in the future, Lin Fei would never ride the chestnut horse again.

After selling the chestnut horse, Lin Fei directly entered a decent inn to rest well. The next day, he planned to gather information before entering the Blackwater Mountain Range.

"Waiter, a room!"

...

He spent a pleasant night.

The next morning, Lin Fei felt refreshed, and the fatigue from the journey had vanished without a trace.

Once a martial artist stops, they can use their mystic qi to nourish their body, restoring their vitality and spirit. Often, they can recover to about 70-80% in just one day and night.

Leaving the inn, he wanted to gather information about the Blackwater Mountain Range.

However, it turned out to be easier than he imagined, as Blackwater City was full of vendors selling information about the Blackwater Mountain Range, including various dangerous areas and demonic beast habitats. There was an abundance of such information.

His initial worries were instantly dispelled. Lin Fei spent one thousand silver taels to buy a detailed map, which included all the dangerous areas and demonic beast habitats in the Blackwater Mountain Range, with very detailed annotations.

Details determine success or failure, and Lin Fei believed the map was worth the price.

In addition to buying the map, Lin Fei spent another thousand silver taels on detoxifying and healing pills, feeling a bit pained by the expense.

He finally understood that in the Xuantian Continent, the consumption of pills was also a bottomless pit of expenses.

...

After resting for a day, on the third morning, the sky gradually brightened.

Blackwater City was enveloped in a layer of white mist, with the damp air from the mountains and forests covering the area.

Under these conditions, Lin Fei quietly left Blackwater City and headed for the Blackwater Mountain Range.

There was an official road from Blackwater City to the Blackwater Mountain Range, which was relatively safer compared to other paths.

An hour later, Lin Fei saw the vast, continuous mountain range, exuding a majestic and grand aura.

This was the famous Blackwater Mountain Range within the Unfallen Dynasty, a place where demonic beasts lived in large numbers, producing various herbs and demonic beast furs, deeply loved by various sects. It was also listed as a death zone, where countless martial artists had lost their lives. Despite this, the Blackwater Mountain Range remained a popular destination for exploration and treasure hunting.

"Blackwater Mountain Range, within three months, I will survive and level up here!"

Lin Fei took a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination. No matter how dangerous the Blackwater Mountain Range was, he would push forward, not looking back, not retreating, as a martial artist.

...

Lin Fei was well aware of the situation near the Blackwater Mountain Range. The outer areas of the Blackwater Mountain Range were inhabited by a large number of low-level demonic beasts.

Mid-level demonic beasts of the fourth stage and above were spread throughout the Blackwater Mountain Range. Lin Fei had already memorized the habitats of the demonic beasts in the Blackwater Mountain Range.

"From here, it's the habitat of the fourth-stage demonic beast, the Mad Wolf. It's a good opportunity to test my skills against a mid-level demonic beast!"

Putting away the map of the Blackwater Mountain Range, Lin Fei looked at a specific location, made a decision, and darted into the forest, heading east.

"The Spirit Monkey Body Technique can't be fully utilized here, but it's a good place to perfect the 'Wind Following Body Technique'... and if I encounter a demonic beast, I can use the body technique to escape."

As Lin Fei's thoughts raced, suddenly, a chill ran down his back, his hair standing on end, and a sense of unknown danger arose. He vaguely heard the sound of something breaking the air.

"Bad, danger!"

A flash of cold light shot past, like a ray of light before darkness, descending from the sky.

At the critical moment, his body sank into the air, like a stone falling, and he used the 'Spirit Monkey Body Technique' to dodge to the left, narrowly avoiding the attack. Despite his quick reaction, a gust of wind still grazed his cheek, causing blood to flow.

"Bang!"

The tree behind Lin Fei exploded under the blade, leaves flying.

...

"Who is it? Who wants to kill me?"

Landing, Lin Fei panted heavily, ignoring the blood on his face, like a leopard, on guard. The black iron saber on his back fell into his hand, held aloft, gleaming with a cold light.

Just now, he almost died.

The distance between life and death, Lin Fei realized for the first time, was so close, and he was still trembling with fear, his chest heaving.

"Very dangerous. If I hadn't advanced to the Fifth Heaven of Martial Dao, with enhanced senses, I would have been killed by that ambush. No matter who they are, I will kill them!"

Clap, clap, clap!!!

Accompanied by rhythmic applause, Lin Fei's pupils dilated, his keen senses detecting a presence locking onto him.

"Lin Fei, you indeed didn't disappoint us. You managed to dodge our fatal attack."
