Chapter 54: Ye Ning
.
It was during one of his visits to the black market in Qiyun City that he met the Elf girl.
The beast tide that had heavily struck the Lushan province had already happened several decades ago,
and the city back then was already very different from how it was now.
At that time, he was eighty years old and had just reached the peak of the fourth stage of the Mortal Realm.
Reaching this level at eighty was far from average, in fact, it was considered quite late.

but it had taken him much longer due to his deformity.
He was struggling to break through, so he came here.
He needed a rare ingredient to create a high grade Qi Refining Pill that would help him make the breakthrough.
Unfortunately, he couldn't get his hands on that ingredient, as it had already been obtained by another customer.
