Pirates: Get the Ice Demon Slayer Magic at the beginning

The border between the Western Region and the Northern Region is called Cangyan Town. This area is located on the edge of the two regions. It is not only the geographical dividing line between the two regions, but also a chaotic place full of opportunities and dangers. Cangyan Town itself does not have any illustrious history. It can even be said that it is a relatively ordinary town. However, its geographical location and special environment have made it a hot spot for competition among various forces.

Cangyan Town is located at the intersection of an ancient mountain range and endless grasslands, facing the wilderness of the Western Region to the east and the border of the Northern Region to the west. Due to its special geographical location, it has become a gathering point for various forces to trade and interact. The people in the town are of all kinds, including merchants from the Western Region, monks from the Northern Region, and casual cultivators, thieves and mercenaries wandering between the two regions. Whether it is a monk seeking opportunities or a businessman who hopes to accumulate wealth by buying and selling resources, they will come here to try their skills.

This place is full of opportunities and risks, with merchants and monks, warriors and mercenaries intertwined. There are low-level monks, representatives of powerful sects, and even some mysterious forces secretly infiltrating here. There are countless conspiracies and blood behind it. Cangyan Town is like a huge vortex, attracting countless people to linger in it, but no one can find complete peace here.

After Ye Fan and several disciples changed their appearance, they quietly came to Cangyan Town. Today's Ye Fan is no longer the genius boy with the aura of the Demon Emperor. His contract with the Demon Emperor has long become subtle. Although the Demon Emperor's soul has not completely dissipated, it has no ability to interfere with Ye Fan's decision. At this time, Ye Fan's identity is no longer eye-catching, but more about his rapidly accumulated background and powerful abilities.

"The situation here is exactly what we need most right now." Ye Fan said to several of his disciples, his eyes revealing a calm insight.

The disciples nodded. Although they had not experienced too many storms in the outside world, they could sense that the complexity and danger of this area were far beyond their imagination.

"The situation in Cangyan Town is chaotic, but it is just right for us." Ye Fan continued to analyze, "Here, people don't have strict rules and order like in Zhongzhou. There are all kinds of people outside, and the strong don't have so many constraints and restrictions. There are sufficient cultivation resources here, and most people have complicated minds, which is suitable for us to collect resources and look for opportunities."

A sharp light flashed in Ye Fan's eyes, and his thoughts seemed to have passed through the chaotic Cangyan Town and saw the possible opportunities and challenges in the future.

Lin Yu, one of the disciples, frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "This place looks a bit dangerous, and the people outside seem to have a strong background. If we go in too deep, we might get into trouble."

Ye Fan smiled and patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, real masters won't show up easily. In a place like this, we must learn to be patient and accumulate strength. It may seem chaotic, but there are actually many opportunities hidden here. As long as we seize the opportunity, we can rise quickly."

Although his voice was low, it was full of firm conviction.

Several people quickly moved through the crowd, using the magic of disguise to perfectly conceal their identities. The streets of Cangyan Town were lined with all kinds of messy shops and vendors, as well as those slovenly dressed casual cultivators and all kinds of homeless people. The air was filled with a messy smell, mixed with the smell of herbs, oil smoke and old wood.

In the middle of the street was a bustling market, with colorful stalls filled with all kinds of goods: herbs, spiritual stones, low-level magic tools, and even some seemingly illegal goods. Everywhere was filled with the sounds of hawking and bargaining. Although it seemed a bit noisy, it was full of market vitality.

"This is indeed a place full of business opportunities." Ye Fan said softly, his eyes sweeping around everything. He knew that this was a beginning, but also a test.

In this chaotic market full of competition and disputes, countless possibilities are surging. Although Cangyan Town seems peaceful on the surface, in fact, many powerful people are secretly looking for opportunities to accumulate strength. Some small sects and independent cultivation groups are constantly trading here, exchanging information, and exchanging resources. Some even take advantage of the chaotic situation here to hide their identities and plan a bigger conspiracy.

Under Ye Fan's leadership, several disciples quickly integrated into the atmosphere of the market and carefully observed everything around them. They gradually understood that Ye Fan's every step was full of careful consideration, and this seemingly chaotic Cangyan Town was the best place for them to collect resources, cultivate strength, and lay the foundation for the future.

"Let's find a place to settle down and observe for a while. Although the situation in this place is complicated, there is no land that is not full of opportunities." Ye Fan smiled lightly, "When the time comes, we will be able to seize everything."

Just as Ye Fan and his companions had just checked into a remote inn, a dangerous atmosphere quietly spread. Two men in black robes walked into Cangyan Town. They looked very low-key, but gave people a very strong sense of oppression. Ye Fan raised his eyebrows slightly. These two men seemed inconspicuous, but they showed a strong aura fluctuation invisibly.

They walked leisurely among the crowd, apparently in no hurry to act, but silently observing what was happening in the town.

"It seems that this place is not just a simple business transaction." Ye Fan's mouth curled up slightly. He vaguely felt that these two black-robed men seemed to have a close connection with some forces in Cangyan Town. Their arrival was bound to cause a lot of fluctuations.

"Perhaps, this is the time for us to enter this world." Ye Fan whispered.

He knew that in this chaotic Cangyan Town, there would be many people fighting endlessly. But it was this chaos that provided him and his disciples with an unprecedented opportunity - here, they would be able to accumulate strength faster, collect resources, and even challenge stronger enemies, gradually emerging.

"We are not in a hurry, let's observe first." Ye Fan finally reminded. He knew that even though the current situation was full of crises, it was also the best time to accumulate strength and find a breakthrough. In this vortex, once they found their direction, they would definitely stand out.

During the time in Cangyan Town, Ye Fan and several disciples gradually integrated into the environment here and began to accumulate strength and resources secretly. However, he knew very well that relying solely on external resources and opportunities was far from enough. In order to gain a firm foothold in this chaotic place, he must master more means and skills, especially the art of refining pills that can quickly accumulate wealth and improve strength.

Pills, this magical item sought after by all forces, is an indispensable resource for almost all cultivators in this chaotic world. Whether it is to improve cultivation, heal injuries, or strengthen the body, pills can play a vital role. Moreover, the huge profits of pills make it the target of many forces.

Ye Fan knew that if he could master the art of alchemy, he would not only be able to provide himself with a steady stream of cultivation resources, but also be able to make huge profits from the sale of pills, thereby accumulating more power. He already had a plan in mind, ready to firmly grasp this skill in his own hands.

"Demon Emperor, what is the secret of alchemy?" Ye Fan asked softly, his eyes deep, his voice full of desire and determination.

The voice of the Demon Emperor was like a low thunder that entered Ye Fan's mind: "Alchemy is a skill that goes against the will of heaven. It can condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of medicinal materials and the power of the soul into elixir. This not only tests the alchemist's character and understanding, but also requires a high level of understanding of the spiritual objects of heaven and earth. Do you want to learn alchemy?" The Demon Emperor's voice was filled with a slight sneer, "Are you ready to endure all the hardships involved?"

There was a gleam of determination in Ye Fan's eyes: "I'm ready."

The Demon Emperor was silent for a moment, then he said, "Okay, in that case, I will teach you the essence of alchemy. But you must know that alchemy is not easy, and in some cases, it is even more dangerous than practicing martial arts. If you master the art of alchemy, every time you make an alchemy, it will be a challenge to life and death. If you fail, a pill may cause a violent explosion, or even kill you."

Ye Fan nodded without hesitation: "I understand."

The Demon Emperor's tone gradually became serious: "The essence of alchemy is to control the subtle movement of spiritual energy and medicinal materials, and to accurately harmonize their auras. There is a wonderful resonance between the alchemist and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the medicinal materials. Only under the perfect opportunity can high-quality elixirs be refined. Alchemy itself is also a struggle with time, spiritual power, and medicinal materials. If you can master these mysteries, you will definitely be able to occupy a place in this chaotic world."

Ye Fan was fascinated by what he heard, and his desire for alchemy became stronger. The words of the Demon Emperor were like a ray of light that illuminated his mind and gave him a deeper understanding of this art.

"I will teach you the basic principles of alchemy. You need to cultivate your state of mind, and adjust your breath and spiritual power so that they can be in harmony with the medicinal materials. Refining the elixir is not just about putting the medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace, but requires you to use your inner perception to guide out the essence of each medicinal material and accurately control the temperature and time." The Demon Emperor continued.

Ye Fan silently memorized every word, and every word was deeply imprinted in his mind. He knew that alchemy was not only a means to improve his strength, but also a powerful weapon that could allow him to gain a foothold in this world.

In the next few days, Ye Fan began to learn alchemy under the guidance of the Demon Emperor. At the beginning, his alchemy ability was not very high, and even the most basic elixir, the Qi-nourishing elixir, was difficult to refine successfully. But Ye Fan was not discouraged. He patiently studied the techniques taught by the Demon Emperor and carefully comprehended the properties and characteristics of each medicinal material.

As time went by, Ye Fan's alchemy skills gradually made progress. He was able to refine some primary pills. Although the quality was not high, at least it was safe and the effect was acceptable. Gradually, his alchemy skills became more and more proficient, and he mastered more techniques and details.

"Yes, your alchemy skills have improved rapidly." The Demon Emperor's voice was a little relieved. "But remember, alchemy is a skill that does not allow for any carelessness. Any negligence may lead to disaster."

Ye Fan nodded, and he was already full of confidence in the potential of alchemy. He knew that after mastering the art of alchemy, he would not only be able to provide himself with a steady stream of cultivation resources, but also be able to make a huge fortune from it, which was a crucial step for him to gain a foothold in Cangyan Town and even the entire Western Region.

However, the words of the Demon Emperor also made him realize that the road to alchemy is not smooth. Every time he makes an alchemy, it is a test of life and death. He must always remain calm and cautious in order to succeed in the process of alchemy.

With the continuous improvement of alchemy, Ye Fan's foundation became deeper and deeper. He began to frequently refine some elixirs that were helpful for cultivation, and sold or exchanged them for other resources. The market demand in Cangyan Town was huge. With the advantage of alchemy, Ye Fan quickly gained the favor of many merchants and became a well-known alchemist here.

However, Ye Fan did not stop, he knew that this was just the beginning, and the true power of alchemy had not yet been fully demonstrated. As he continued to delve deeper into the alchemy skills taught by the Demon Emperor, his goal gradually shifted from the superficial market of Cangyan Town to a broader world.

"What I want is not just these small businesses." Ye Fan's eyes flashed with determination, "What I need is enough strength and deep enough foundation to face those stronger enemies. Alchemy is just one of the means."

He knew very well that alchemy could provide him with great help, but the real power still came from his own practice and insight into the world.
