Martial Master

This is a bit terrifying.

The Black Cultivation Association is the top force in Heizhao City, and at the same time, it is famous throughout Bianzhou, considered one of the most terrifying forces on the edge of the Black Death Marsh.

It can be said that becoming a gold VIP and receiving the protection of the Black Cultivation Association means that aside from any overwhelming hatred between individuals, there is basically no one who dares to harm you in the Black Death Marsh.

This is already a terrifying benefit, after all, in the Black Death Marsh, conflicts and killings occur often as everyone searches for spiritual herbs. Becoming a gold VIP of the Black Cultivation Association essentially grants you a death exemption.

In the Black Cultivation Association, silver VIPs are merely equivalent to members, while gold VIPs are the true members of the Black Cultivation Association.

Generally speaking, only top forces like the Beast Master Mountain Villa, which possess Martial Venerable experts, can enjoy the privileges of gold VIPs.

Of course, similarly, since becoming a gold VIP allows you to enjoy these benefits, there are also some costs to pay. If the Black Cultivation Association encounters any danger, you must provide protection. Additionally, any spiritual herbs obtained in the Black Death Marsh must be prioritized for supply to the Black Cultivation Association when sold.

Now that the elder has invited both Qin Chen and the Young Master to become gold VIPs, it is evident that he sees them as being on the same level as Martial Venerable experts.

Even the black slave couldn't help but feel excited; if it were just him, he might have agreed immediately. However, he had to listen to Qin Chen now, so he naturally couldn't make a decision.

He only felt that the Young Master was a bit foolish. Since he wanted to enter the Black Death Marsh to search for the bitter rhyme herb, joining the Black Cultivation Association would only bring benefits and no drawbacks.

Of course, he didn't dare to say this.

It seemed that both of them were eager to go to the underground ruins to search for treasures. Currently, only a few forces in Heizhao City can open the teleportation passage to the Black Death Marsh. As long as they become gold VIPs of my Black Cultivation Association, the passage will be free to use. Do you really not want to join my Black Cultivation Association?”

The elder initially thought that Qin Chen and the black slave would definitely agree without hesitation. Who would have thought they would directly refuse? After being stunned for a moment, he didn't know what to say. After a while, seeing Qin Chen preparing to leave, he spoke up anxiously.

“Teleportation passage, what teleportation passage?”

Qin Chen frowned.

The black slave beside him was also taken aback. After sensing Qin Chen's gaze, a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

The steward of the Black Cultivation Association immediately realized that the two had never heard of the teleportation passage and breathed a sigh of relief, laughing, “No wonder you two rejected becoming gold VIPs of our Black Cultivation Association. It turns out you didn't know about the teleportation passage; it seems you haven't returned to Heizhao City for at least two years.”

The steward continued with a smile, “In fact, several years ago, there was no teleportation passage to the Black Death Marsh. Later, as the spiritual herbs on the outskirts were searched and found less and less, the dangers didn't decrease. So, several major forces in Heizhao City decided to establish a teleportation passage to save time entering the depths of the Black Death Marsh and reduce the dangers faced by martial artists.”

“Two years ago, the major forces in Heizhao City joined forces with the Dynasty Celestial Array to establish four teleportation passages, each managed by one of the four forces in Heizhao City. Our Black Cultivation Association manages one of the teleportation passages into the Black Death Marsh. To explore the Black Death Marsh, you must go through one of these four passages. Moreover, these passages charge fees and have conditions set. If you want to go to the underground ruins, it's best to become a gold VIP of our Black Cultivation Association. Not only is using the passage free, but the teleportation point is also the closest to the underground ruins.”
