Chapter 91: The Big Raft Bar

  Personally going to the Sin Forest, Xia Yan really hadn't thought of it. Although the Sin Forest is not far from Yushui City, for Xia Yan, the Sin Forest is completely unfamiliar, he has never been there before.

  Everything about the Devil's Forest, Xia Yan had only heard of before.

  "That's right, take this opportunity to find the pipa grass and temper yourself in the Sinister Forest. By the time you return from the Sinister Forest, you'll be almost ready to successfully break through to the Spiritual Master realm. Heh heh, at that time, when you become a Spiritual Master, will they still dare to kick you out of that Purple Leaf Academy? A top-notch academy must have countless secret manuals hidden within; that place will be your paradise." The Holy Emperor's eyes shone with excitement.

  Xia Yan nodded and also became excited, with hot blood boiling up.

  Although going to the Forest of Evil is a relatively adventurous thing, it's actually a great way to improve one's own strength. Only in a real life-and-death struggle can one truly experience the taste of danger and increase their own power. Xia Yan deeply understands this point as well.

  In these sub-challenges at the Extreme Challenge Arena, Xia Yan's combat experience was also constantly improving. This is the benefit of fighting and struggling, that is, irreplaceable combat experience, as well as a grasp of danger.

  "I understand!" Xia Yan's eyes lit up, and he had already made up his mind.

  On the second day, Xia Yan discussed with the clan leader about entering the Forest of Evil for training.

  Actually, all along, every large family would let their outstanding young family members enter the Forest of Evil to hone their skills. Xia Yan's father, Xia Dongsheng, had also entered the Forest of Evil multiple times to train. However, later on, he unfortunately encountered misfortune in the forest, which was undoubtedly a significant blow to the Xia family. It was precisely because of Xia Dongsheng's death that the Xia family members shifted their anger onto Xia Yan's mother. After all, Xia Yan's mother was from the Dark Night Continent, a place despised by everyone on the Dragon Continent.

  Like the royal family of Jade Water City and the Xi family, they would also send their excellent children to the Devil's Forest for training, which is also an effective way to enhance the strength of the younger generation of the family.

  Xia Yan himself requested to enter the forest of evil for training, and Xia Feilong naturally had no reason to disallow it.

  However, Xia Fei Long cited concerns for Xia Yan's safety and asked him to bring his family guards along.

  The Xia family has five branches of the Family Guard, all composed of elite young men from the family. The captain of each branch is a post-heavenly peak expert who has opened up 108 meridians in the martial arts. With such a guard entering the Forest of Evil, as long as they don't venture too deep into dangerous territory, they generally won't be in danger. When encountering ordinary wild beasts, they are naturally no match for the guards.

  Xia Fei Long means Xia Yan must bring his guards, otherwise he will not agree to let Xia Yan enter the forest of evil.

  The great elder and several other elders also had the same idea as Xia Fei Long.

  In the end, Xia Yan had no choice but to temporarily agree.

  That night, Xia Yan quietly packed a small bundle, brought some dry food and a few changes of clothes, and left the Xia family.

  If he really brought the family guards, it was obviously not what Xia Yan wanted. This time entering the Sinister Forest, first to find the Pipa Grass and second to temper himself. Bringing the guards would have no help for Xia Yan, on the contrary, it would have a great impact.

  Out of the North Gate of Yushui City, passing through Yushui Mountain, Xia Yan stopped for a while at the foot of the mountain.

  It all started from the top of Yushui Mountain, where Xia Yan truly embarked on the path of a strong practitioner. It has been over a year since Xia Yan opened up his meridians, and now he is already a well-known figure in Yushui City.

  Besides, Xia Yan is only 15 years old and has a long way to go before reaching his peak.

  The night was hazy, and looking at the dense forest on Yu Shui Mountain, Xia Yan's heart was also filled with emotions.

  It was fortunate that the striped tiger had ambushed him at first, otherwise Xia Yan wouldn't have known that he needed to use fresh blood to lift the seal of the Ling Luo ring.

  After a long time, Xia Yan unfolded his body and quickly headed in the direction of Niu She Town. This Niu She Town is the closest town to the Forest of Evil. Anyone on the Dragon Continent who wants to enter the Forest of Evil must pass through Niu She Town.

  Although it is just a small town, its prosperity has even surpassed that of Yushui City.

  The mayor of Niu She Town, also the steward of Yu Shui City's Holy Temple. Although his power is not as great as that of the three family heads, he is still a powerful person and one of the twelve giants of the Holy Temple, excluding the hall master.

  After a whole day and night of rushing, Xia Yan finally arrived at Niu She Town on the evening of the second day. This was still Xia Yan's first time leaving Yu Shui City to run to such a far place, everything was very novel for Xia Yan.

  The world outside is more wonderful than imagined.

  Niushan Town does not have the neat buildings of Yushui City, and there are stalls selling all kinds of tools and food on both sides of the long street. The small shops that sell weapons, armor, and medicine are the most numerous, with hawkers' calls ringing in one's ears.

  After entering the forest of evil, battles may occur at any time, and there are dangers everywhere, so injuries are inevitable. Therefore, most practitioners or teams that enter the forest of evil will buy some medicine.

  Of course, these medicines are all ordinary medicines prepared by pharmacists, mainly for treating external injuries, expelling worms and detoxifying, etc., and not the elixirs refined by alchemists. Even the lowest-grade first-class elixir refined by an alchemist can only be auctioned off at an auction house, and ordinary people cannot afford to buy it.

  Alchemists on the Dragon Continent are extremely rare.

  To put it metaphorically, in a county like Yushui City, you can't even find one alchemist. Only in main cities like Ziyecheng and those powerful counties might you be able to find real alchemists.

  In Niu She Town, apart from the miscellaneous shops and stalls, another most striking feature is the bars that fill every corner of Chang Street. These small bars offer a variety of cheap liquor.

  Those mercenaries and cultivators of all kinds who are about to venture into the Forest of Evil will often drink a toast at the bar before entering the forest.

  Because nobody knows whether they can come out of the forest of evil this time or not.

  Xia Yan didn't know much about the Forest of Evil, so his best bet now was to find a bar and go in to gather some information.

  Although there was a map of the misty mountains and valleys, Xia Yan still felt that more preparation was needed.

  On the main street of Niu She Town, regardless of whether they were male or female, most people carried a weapon on their person. At a glance, it was clear that they were all cultivators.

  And Xia Yan also held an ordinary long sword in his hand.

  Xia Yan looked very young among the crowd, and his figure was slightly thin. Compared to that muscular strong man, Xia Yan's body didn't seem to have any advantages at all.

  Many people looked at Xia Yan with a peculiar gaze, their facial expressions varied.

  But Xia Yan was not moved by these things, with a faint smile on his face. As long as no one directly interfered with him, Xia Yan would not make any other moves.

  "Darro Bar?"

  Xia Yan stopped in his tracks and noticed a place called Da Luo Bar on the side of the street.

  Inside, the figures were hazy, and by now the sky had darkened, which was exactly when this kind of bar would be at its most lively.

  After a slight hesitation, Xia Yan made up her mind and stepped inside.

  As soon as I entered, a strong flavor came rushing towards me.

  Xia Yan furrowed his brow and saw that the bar hall was almost full, with many male and female cultivators competing to drink.

  "Haha, this time I've received a task from outside, to go to the Forest of Evil and find someone. You definitely won't guess how much the reward for this task is..."

  A man with a big beard took a swig of wine and laughed loudly, saying.

  Xia Yan's ears perked up, thinking that this was indeed a good place to gather information about the Sinister Forest. His eyes scanned the room and found an empty low table in a corner, so he walked over.
