Chapter 259: Wuxin Pavilion
After some inquiries, Li Hanxue finally found the small house mentioned by the vendor in the south of the city.
The small house was hidden in an alley, surrounded by low and old houses, so it was not conspicuous.
The wooden door of the small house was dark, and the two door knockers had rusted and a faint musty smell was emitted.
Li Hanxue knocked on the wooden door, and there was a creaking sound. A hunchbacked old man showed his head. He was wearing a gray coat, his hair was gray, and his small eyes narrowed into a line. He stared at Li Hanxue and said in a hoarse voice: "Little brother, who are you looking for?"
Li Hanxue took out the green jade from his arms and shook it: "Is Wuxin Pavilion here?"
The old man saw this and said hurriedly: "It turns out to be a guest, please come in."
Li Hanxue followed the old man into the small house. The house was not big, but there was a dark room. The old man used a flint to light a yellow light, then opened the secret side door and entered the dark room. Li Hanxue followed the old man into a narrow passage. The passage was pitch black, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. One could only see the extremely dim yellow light in the old man's hand. The space was extremely cramped and suffocating. The two sides were extremely narrow, only allowing one person to pass through, and the height was extremely low. With Li Hanxue's height, he had to lower his head and bend forward.
The old man walked slowly, and it took about a quarter of an hour before he finally stopped.
"We're here." The old man stood in front of an iron door and turned back to Li Hanxue and said, "I'll take you here, and someone will pick you up next."
After he finished speaking, the old man's light went out and he disappeared.
Li Hanxue stretched out his hand to open the iron door. After the door opened, a piece of light sprinkled over. Li Hanxue saw an extremely open and magnificent hall. The hall was extremely deep, and where the red carpet stretched, several middle-aged people were wandering back and forth, with anxious expressions on their faces. One of the middle-aged men was holding a cute little girl. The little girl's eyes were full of curiosity. She kept asking, "Daddy, where is this?"
The middle-aged man looked gloomy and silent.
The middle-aged men around him were shocked when they saw this: "I didn't expect it to be even more cruel."
After Li Hanxue took a look at these people, he didn't pay much attention. He just looked around and saw that in addition to the luxurious decorations in the Wuxin Pavilion, there were very few people coming and going. The middle-aged men waited for half an hour, but no one came to receive them.
"Xiao Bing, do you know what this Wuxin Pavilion is?" Li Hanxue communicated with Gui Sun Bing with his mind.
Gui Sun Bingdao yawned and said, "Wu Xin Pavilion... I have heard of it a little bit. The first master also went to Wu Xin Pavilion, but that was a long time ago and I can't remember it clearly."
"It's the same as not saying anything."
"Master, you can't blame me. At that time, the master tried to use the power of fire to shape a body for me, but failed. My mind was confused and it was normal that I couldn't remember things."
"Reshaping the body should be a method of the Ghost Martial Realm."
"That's right. Master, you should also work hard to practice, and then you can make a body for me to play with, so that I won't live in vain."
"Let's talk about it when the time comes."
While the two were talking, a young man in a dark blue gown came towards them. The young man had a slender body, flowing black hair, a jade-like face, a handsome face, and a pair of phoenix eyes with a kind look.
The young man smiled and said, "I am the person who is responsible for receiving you. My last name is Baili, and my single name is Fei. What is your name?"
"Li Shiba."
"It turns out to be Brother Li. I wonder what Brother Li needs when he comes to my Wuxin Pavilion?" Baili Fei said.
Li Hanxue got straight to the point and said, "I need a pill that can cure the poison in my body. Do you have any?"
Li Hanxue showed her left wrist, and the purple poison on her skin became deeper and deeper.
Baili Fei saw this, without any change of expression, smiled and said, "Brother Li was poisoned by the domain poison. It is not a simple matter to cure this poison."
"Don't you have any solution?" Li Hanxue's tone was a little hurried.
Baili Fei laughed and said, "There are very few things in the world that can stump our Wuxin Pavilion. Although the poison Brother Li was poisoned by is difficult to cure, it is not impossible to cure. Before I cure Brother Li, I want to know if Brother Li understands the rules of our Wuxin Pavilion?"
"What rules?" Li Hanxue asked in confusion.
"It seems that Brother Li has never heard of it. In this case, I will tell Brother Li about the rules of our Wuxin Pavilion." Baili Fei paused and said, "Any guest who comes to our Wuxin Pavilion must bring valuables to our Wuxin Pavilion to exchange for what they need."
"What is a valuable thing?"
"There are four levels of so-called valuables. Using money to exchange for what you need is the lowest level. Our Wuxin Pavilion generally rarely accepts the method of exchanging with money. Even if it is accepted, it must be very expensive, and ordinary people can never afford it."
"If I want to use money to buy a pill to detoxify my body, how much does it cost?" Li Hanxue said.
Baili Fei pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "Five hundred thousand!"
Li Hanxue was shocked, "Five hundred thousand! This price is too much. Five hundred thousand gold coins can almost buy a dark soldier, but here it can only be exchanged for a detoxification pill."
Li Hanxue only had a little more than 1.1 million yuan on her, and a detoxification pill would cost half of the money. Li Hanxue would not accept this exchange method.
"What is the second exchange method?" Li Hanxue asked.
"The second exchange method is to exchange goods for goods. The more valuable the goods are, the higher the value of the goods will be. As long as Brother Li brings out treasures that are attractive to us, we will naturally prepare antidote pills for Brother Li."
Li Hanxue can accept this proposal, but this request is actually not lower than exchanging money for goods, because the standards and scales are all controlled by the Wuxin Pavilion. She has no say at all, and the other party has the final say. Before listening to the third and fourth exchange methods, Li Hanxue was not in a hurry to make a decision.
"Brother Baili, please explain the remaining two exchange methods clearly." Li Hanxue said.
Bai Lifei smiled and said: "The third method is to exchange people for goods. This 'person' can be the person we Wuxin Pavilion specifically wants. As long as you capture this person, we will definitely give you a corresponding reward."
The assessment of Nanling City will start in three days. Li Hanxue has no time to capture people for them, so Li Hanxue does not consider this option.
"What is the fourth exchange method?"
"Brother Li, don't worry. There is another rule for the third exchange method, which is to exchange treasures for people you cherish. The more you cherish this person, the more valuable treasures you can exchange. Brother Li may have questions. How do we know whether the exchanger cherishes the person being exchanged? Brother Li does not need to doubt this. The Pavilion Master has set up a heart-searching array in each branch with great magical powers. As long as you enter this array, you can calculate the exchanger's cherishment of the person being exchanged. Brother Li, do you want to try it? Many people who come to our Wuxin Pavilion have chosen this exchange method. The exchanged treasures are often rare and good treasures, which will definitely not disappoint you." Baili Fei kept tempting Li Hanxue.
Li Hanxue glanced at the middle-aged man who was holding the little girl in his arms just now, and instantly understood that this person came here to exchange treasures with his daughter.
"Is this kind of person worthy of being a father?" Thinking of this, Li Hanxue felt a little unhappy, but he did not show this unhappiness.
Li Hanxue smiled and said, "That's not necessary." Li Hanxue had gone through so many life and death hardships to come here step by step in order to protect the people she cherished. Now it is impossible for Li Hanxue to give up her cherished people in order to detoxify.
"It seems that Brother Li is interested in the fourth exchange method. This fourth method is actually simpler than the third method, and the things exchanged are often rare treasures in the world."
