Liang Yuhan looked at the painting boat and said lightly, "No."

Completely ignoring Liang Yunhui's pitiful expression.

That painting boat was the famous Red House Painting Boat in Ruyang City, a well-known golden den, a paradise for men.

No way would Liang Yuhan allow Liang Yunhui to play there.

Chirp chirp—

Xiaohei stood on the riverbank, eyes fixed on the Bainu River, watching the fish leaping inside.

Suddenly, it pounced out and dived into the turbulent river.

When it appeared again, there was a two-meter-long fish in its mouth.

"Wow, Xiaohei is amazing!"

Liang Yunhui immediately set aside the matter of the painting boat and rushed over to Xiaohei, curiously examining the big fish.

...

Not far from them.

Two robust men stared at Liang Yuhan's group, nodding in satisfaction.

"Definitely looks like an Ink Fox, although it seems much plumper than the records in the book, but such a clever mythical beast is not common."

The middle-aged man gazed at Xiaohei for a long time, pondered for a moment, and said lightly.

The Ink Fox, a fierce beast with incredible speed and defense, covered in black fur, much like a fox.

This kind of beast has high growth potential and intelligence comparable to humans, making it suitable for taming.

Many young heirs and ladies like to tame this kind of beast.

However, the Ink Fox is extremely rare and skilled in concealment, with remarkable speed, making it hard to capture.

"Sir, isn't there a problem with this Ink Fox being so fat?"

"Would Miss Zhu like it?"

The other person couldn't help but ask.

This fierce beast, it could easily be mistaken for a pig by anyone.

"No problem, after raising it for a while and some training, it will slim down."

"Such a rare fierce beast, giving it as a gift is quite presentable. It might even help the young master win Miss Zhu's affection."

"Find out the identity of those two and buy the Ink Fox." The middle-aged man said.

"Yes, sir!"

The subordinate clasped his hands respectfully.

After speaking, he turned and left.

The middle-aged man stood in place, silently observing Xiaohei's every movement, growing more and more satisfied with each glance.

"Indeed, it's surely an Ink Fox."

"Such a rare fierce beast is not often seen and is very presentable as a gift."

The middle-aged man nodded with a smile, then turned to leave.

The Ink Fox was just one of the gifts; he still needed to prepare other presents.

The Zhu Family, a renowned family in Ruyang City, Miss Zhu's coming-of-age ceremony required more than just the Ink Fox as a gift.

...

...

Lin Zheyu passed through the city gate of Ruyang City.

He saw quite a few people carrying weapons entering the city.

As long as they registered at the city gate and paid ten taels of silver, they could bring weapons into the city.

However, only ordinary weapons like knives, swords, and sticks were allowed; bows and crossbows are not permitted inside the city.

Not only weapons but even fierce beasts could enter the city, although this privilege was reserved for a few, regular people had no such permission.

"As expected of the Central Plains Region, even fierce beasts can be brought into the city."

Lin Zheyu couldn't help but marvel.

In front of him, a young man in gorgeous attire rode a Qi Blood Realm beast as he slowly passed through the city gate into the city.

Ruyang City was indeed a grand metropolis with immense prosperity inside.

The Martial Dao was thriving here; there were many martial artists coming and going, including Bone Marrow Refining Realm martial artists and some whom Lin Zheyu could not gauge at all.

The gap in strength was too large; even with his strong perception abilities, he couldn't gauge martial artists with realms far beyond his own.

The streets were filled with all sorts of martial arts schools; in the Central Plains Region, where the martial spirit was vibrant, these schools were thriving.

Lin Zheyu inquired that the black market would not open for another two days.

He strolled around the city while gathering information on the major forces in the Guanghua Domain.

"The Mo Yu Sword Sect ranks within the top ten in the Guanghua Domain, and it seems Liang Yunhui's father is quite a remarkable figure."

Lin Zheyu was somewhat surprised.

These rankings of forces were compiled by enthusiasts, featuring many lists with different sect powers being listed.

This ranking does not include families.

Those ancient families sometimes boasted strength on par with powerful sects, but they were more low-key.

"This ranking is influenced mainly by the strength of the strongest member within the sect and the comparison of the younger generation's strength."

"It fluctuates every year."

"If I want to choose a sect to join, it's best to choose those with a long history that have all kinds of powerful cultivation techniques, even extremely ancient ones."

"This way, I can maximize my advantages."

Lin Zheyu mused to himself, filtering through the various sects to find the one most suitable for him.

His greatest advantage is being able to cultivate a technique to perfection in an extremely short amount of time.

Thanks to the special nature of Source Power, many cultivation techniques unavailable to ordinary martial artists can be cultivated by Lin Zheyu.

For example, the Barbaric Bear Demon Skill.

This technique, originating from the Barbarian Race, has significant side effects for ordinary martial artists when cultivated.

Lin Zheyu uses Source Power to enhance it, leaving no hidden dangers in his consciousness space, only reflecting the enhanced results back to the real body.

"That's not right; I don't have to choose only the top-ranked ones, but I must choose the ones with the most techniques."

Lin Zheyu said to himself.

The techniques he bought from the black market were not considered top-tier.

Truly formidable techniques are rarely put up for sale by anyone.

Almost no top-tier techniques circulate in the market. Only by joining a force can one have the opportunity to acquire those powerful techniques.
