Chapter 258 Entering the City

Early in the morning of the second day, Li Hanxue opened her eyes and looked through the window, only to see Yuan Lingtong already wandering on the grass outside the house.

Hong Yang, wearing a clean and tidy white shirt, stood quietly by the side.

Li Hanxue walked out of the house, washed up, and then went north with the two of them, heading towards Nanling City.

Nanling City is located 100 miles north of Linyuan Village. With the cultivation of Li Hanxue and Hong Yang, they could arrive in less than two hours. However, in order to take care of Yuan Lingtong, the two slowed down and rushed for nearly a day. The three of them arrived in Nanling City at sunset.

Li Hanxue stood outside the gate of Nanling City, and saw that the wall of Nanling City was three feet high, with a gray tone throughout. The gaps between bricks were so tight that a needle could hardly penetrate. It was obvious that it was a very solid city.

After entering Nanling City, there were pedestrians bustling inside, vendors walking everywhere, warriors walking all over the streets, pavilions and towers lined up one after another, and it was very lively and prosperous.

Seeing such a prosperous scene, Yuan Lingtong was stunned for a moment. Then she came back to her senses, like a curious child, looking around at this new world she had never seen before. Seeing new things, she couldn't help but feel playful, running around, walking and stopping, playing while walking.

Seeing Yuan Lingtong so lively, Hong Yang's eyes showed a strange light, while Li Hanxue treated her coldly, not in the mood, and his left hand was aching again.

The three of them walked through the crowded crowd and arrived at the center of Nanling City. When they were about to reach the City Lord's Mansion, Li Hanxue said, "Let's say goodbye here."

Li Hanxue didn't want to have too much involvement with Hong Yang and Yuan Lingtong, and the purple poison gas on his left wrist had not dissipated yet, so he had to find a detoxifying pill as soon as possible to treat the injury.

Yuan Lingtong was a little depressed when she heard this: "Aren't you going to participate in the competition with Brother Hongyang too? The three of us live together, and one more person means one more person to take care of us, right?"

Hongyang smiled and said: "Sister Tong is right. The assessment will start in three days. Brother Li should not wander around at this time. Although Nanling City is prosperous, it also brings disadvantages. There are all kinds of people in it. If someone targets you, it will be bad."

"I appreciate your kindness, but I do have something important to do. How about this, we gather here in three days and participate in the assessment together?" Li Hanxue said.

"In that case, take care, Brother Li, and we will see each other in three days."

"See you there."

Li Hanxue turned and left.

After Li Hanxue left, Hong Yang's face gradually darkened. With a wave of his hand, several armored guards in the city lord's mansion rushed over: "What do you want, Guard Hong?"

In Nanling City, there are four guards around the city lord. They have high status and have the power to mobilize ten guards. Therefore, when several guards saw Hong Yang coming back, they immediately ran over.

Hong Yang stared at Li Hanxue's back as he walked away and said, "Keep an eye on this person. Don't let him find out where you are."

"Yes." After hearing this, several guards immediately disguised themselves and followed Li Hanxue. They all had high cultivation levels and were all masters of the first level of the Xuanwu Realm!

Yuan Lingtong looked puzzled: "Brother Hong Yang, why did you send someone to follow Li Shiba?"

"Nothing, I just sent someone to protect his safety." Hong Yang said expressionlessly.

Yuan Lingtong was a smart person and noticed something strange in an instant, "Brother Hong Yang, Li Shiba has done us a favor in Linyuan Village, you must not let anyone hurt him."

Hong Yang glanced at Yuan Lingtong, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Girl, what are you thinking? He is our benefactor, how could I send someone to hurt him?"

"That's good." Yuan Lingtong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

…

After saying goodbye to Hong Yang and Yuan Lingtong, Li Hanxue found an inn called Xingyun to stay. Several guards followed closely along the way, because the flow of people was too large. Even if Li Hanxue had a keen intuition, it was impossible to find someone following in such a complex flow of people.

After resting for a while in the inn, Li Hanxue walked to the east street entrance of Nanling City, where a large number of warriors gathered. They sold elixirs, Xuanbing and various materials for refining.

Li Hanxue walked to a vendor selling pills and asked, "Do you have any pills for detoxification?"

The vendor had an ordinary face and was of medium height. He sat on the ground and glanced at Li Hanxue, saying, "What detoxification pills do you need, sir?"

Li Hanxue stretched out his left hand, revealing a piece of purple skin.

The vendor was shocked when he saw this and shouted, "Oh, sir, this is...not serious. If you don't get rid of this poison within twelve hours, you will definitely die. But you are lucky to meet me. I have a Tianji Jixuan Pill that can cure all diseases."

Li Hanxue laughed and said, "I have been poisoned for a day and a night."

The vendor was surprised and said, "This is impossible. This is the poison of the Salamandra. If you are poisoned within twelve hours, you will definitely die. Sir, you must not be careless."

"Another profiteer." Li Hanxue laughed in his heart. This person's cultivation is not as good as gold, and Li Hanxue is enough to deal with him.

Li Hanxue lifted the merchant up and said coldly, "I don't want to waste time talking to you. I know better than you how strong this poison is. Do you have an antidote? I'll pay you and you'll deliver. If you dare to lie to me, you know the consequences."

The vendor struggled desperately, but could not move. His eyes were filled with horror. He knew that Li Hanxue was powerful, so he did not dare to do anything strange. He said frankly: "To be honest, little brother, although your poison is not serious, it is not light either. I have no medicine to cure it."

"Didn't you claim that you have a pill that can cure all diseases? Why can't you cure it now?" Li Hanxue said.

"Little brother, your poison is probably very strange. It is probably not a toxin from heaven and earth, but comes from the warrior's own power. If I am not mistaken, little brother should be poisoned by a warrior with poison attribute field." The vendor said.

"You are right." Li Hanxue said, "Do you have a way to cure this poison?"

"It's useless for you to find me. There are very few people in Nanling City who can cure this poison. Ten years ago, Wu Duzi stayed in Nanling City for a period of time. If you met him, he would definitely be able to cure this poison for you. Unfortunately, this person has disappeared long ago. The only way to cure this poison now..." At this point, the vendor stopped talking and laughed instead.

Li Hanxue took out a thousand gold coins from the storage bag, put them in a bag, and stuffed them into the hands of the vendor. The vendor weighed them twice, his eyes lit up, and smiled: "Little brother is indeed a generous person. In this case, I will tell you everything I know. The only way is to go to a place called Wuxin Pavilion and find their person in charge. With the means of Wuxin Pavilion, they will definitely be able to find something to detoxify you."

"Wuxin Pavilion?" Li Hanxue looked puzzled, "What is that place? Where is it in Nanling City?"

"Wuxin Pavilion is not a place, but an organization. There is a branch in Nanling City. I know someone in their organization. You take this thing to a small house in the south of Nanling City and give it to them. They will send someone to entertain you." As he said, the vendor took out a piece of green jade from his arms. It was in the shape of a heart. In the center of the heart, a large broken hole was dug out, and then it was buckled with a gold chain.

After Li Hanxue accepted the green jade, he walked to the south of the city.
