Chapter 781: Exchange Conditions

"Medicine Hunchback"

These three words are almost unknown to everyone in the Xuanwu Empire and even in the entire Kunxuan Continent. Regarding alchemy, he can already be said to be a legendary being.

He was able to successfully refine those medicinal pills that could only appear in legends. Even the pills he refined casually could be sold at extremely high prices on the market.

Another reason why he is famous in the mainland is that he also has extremely high attainments in refining poison. The poison he refined can kill people invisible, and even make the poisoned person not know how he died. Even after death, there is no clue, it is completely like a natural death.

Another form of poison allows people to experience all kinds of pain in the world at the beginning of the poisoning. In the process, as death approaches, the double pain and mental torture will cause the poisoned person to suffer endless Death from torture.

Moreover, people on the mainland know that poisons are made from medicine, and even capable people do not dare to detoxify them. Otherwise, both the detoxifier and the poisoner will suffer ruthless revenge from the drug hunchback.

The city lord looked at Zuo Feng in surprise. The young man's previous reaction was too exaggerated, which made him a little confused for a moment. It's easy to understand why he was shocked and surprised when he heard the name Yao Tuozi, but it was a bit abnormal to be so shocked that he lost his composure.

He had some acquaintance with the young man in front of him. He had participated in three competitions and fought against so many powerful opponents, and was even dealt with head-on by Su Lan. Any person would have been paralyzed with fear by these things, but the young man remained calm and composed. With such a temperament, he couldn't think of anything that could shock him so much.

Zuo Feng was not a fool. He could clearly see it from the city lord's eyes, and he immediately understood that his reaction was too big and made the other party suspicious. However, he was not too worried. After all, the real reason for his shock was too complicated and it was impossible for outsiders to guess the whole story.

In addition to looking for an antidote, the situation of this mansion is special and has a very deep connection with the mysterious mansion that I have never understood. He wanted to find out the situation in Linshan Villa no matter what, but in the end it was connected with Yao Tuozi. How could Zuo Feng not be surprised when he heard this.

"You know me, I have a great interest in refining medicine. Moreover, this Linshan Villa is too mysterious, and I can only understand a little bit about it now. Now that I know that this Linshan Villa is actually related to that medicine Regarding Mr. Hunchback, of course I was particularly surprised."

Reaching out and scratching his head, Zuo Feng explained awkwardly.

When City Lord You heard these words, he still couldn't completely believe them, but he did not continue to dwell on them. Because his attention has been diverted, Zuo Feng's words just mentioned the secret of Linshan Villa, which is what he is most concerned about at this time.

Taking advantage of this topic, the city lord spoke up: "So, little brother Shen Feng, how much do you know about the mysterious circumstances of this Linshan Villa?"

Zuo Feng seemed to want to speak, but the city lord remained calm and leaned forward to listen carefully.

But Zuo Feng opened his mouth, then smiled and shook his head, and said lightly: "City Lord, of course I am willing to tell you this information, but I don't know if the City Lord will be able to give me some help."

Hearing what Zuo Feng said, the city lord was slightly startled, then shook his head with a wry smile. He just wanted to use the topic to ask casual questions before. If Zuo Feng accidentally said something that he was interested in, it would be a huge gain for him.

But it turned out that the young man in front of him was too shrewd and would not give himself any chance to take advantage of it.

The city lord smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and said: "Why don't we sit here and chat, this is also a place with the best scenery in the garden."

At this time, the two of them had already walked up to a platform on the hillside. The mountain should have gradually become gentler here, and then there was a steep mountain top.

In this gentle position, it was obviously later smoothed by manpower, and large stone slabs were paved, so that it became a good viewing place.

This place is different from the common pavilion on the top of the mountain. Instead, a not too long corridor is built along the inside of the platform. There are some flowers placed in the corridor, which looks like a small and medium-sized scenery.

One side of the corridor faces the mountain wall, and the other side is a small open space with a stone table and four stone chairs. There is a chessboard on the stone table, but the chessboard is carved on the stone table. The chess pieces on the chessboard are scattered on it. Zuo Feng is not very proficient in this chess game, and he does not know who wins and who loses in this chess game.

From the city lord, he went straight to the stone table and sat down. Zuo Feng followed closely and came to the table and sat down opposite it.

"There is a valley over there. Some magical medicines and spiritual herbs are planted in the valley. I believe that with your knowledge, you will know the medicinal materials in the valley."

The other party was not in a hurry to talk, and Zuo Feng was even less anxious. He raised his eyes and looked in the direction mentioned by the city lord. Judging from the direction, it should be the direction of the other path that was separated before.

What surprised Zuo Feng was that the valley on the opposite side was exactly like the valley the city lord had mentioned, but there was no trace of a lake. In addition, there is also a hillside on the opposite side, which is much higher than where I am, and I can't see the cliff and pavilion where I jumped.

These differences in scenery made Zuo Feng feel a little confused. He seemed to have understood some things, but suddenly found that everything was wrong. This feeling is like a person who has been walking hard for a long time and is about to reach the destination, only to find that he has taken the wrong road and the destination in front of him has nothing to do with him.

At that time, a faint feeling of powerlessness and physical and mental exhaustion grew in my heart.

"My alchemy skills are not very good, at least in this Linshan County. I don't dare to boast about it. As for my knowledge, it just happened that the items I took out in the competition were all familiar to me. This is not It’s nothing.”

When Zuo Feng spoke this time, his voice seemed a little cold, and this change in tone was also noticed by the city lord. However, he just thought for a moment and continued: "Then I won't go around in circles anymore. The purpose of my little brother's coming here should be to find a place of refuge.

I believe this place should be considered the safest place in the entire Linshan County, so I think you should be able to accept this condition. "

Zuo Feng slowly shook his head and said, "I think these conditions are still not enough."

Seeing what City Lord wanted to say, he waved his hand to tell him not to worry and to listen to what he had to say.

Then he continued: "First of all, the situation in Linshan Villa is very special. I believe that you don't know the secrets that I know, even the people who modified the formation at the beginning don't know about it. The value of such information I probably don’t need to explain how big it is.

Besides, when you say you want to keep me safe, I'm afraid that's a bit exaggerated. Because there is a guest here right now. He wants to take my life, and I am afraid that the city lord may not be able to stop him. So where does your guarantee come from? "

When he heard the last sentence, he immediately retracted his body that had been leaning forward while listening attentively, and his eyes scanned the surroundings warily. But after observing for a while, he slowly said: "Brother, pretending to be like this is not a good bargaining method. You must know that whether it is a businessman or a force like us, they all value integrity."

Zuo Feng lowered his head and pretended to be in deep thought, and suddenly said: "Since the commander-in-chief is here, why bother to hide and dodge? With your status, I'm afraid you won't still cower after I point it out."

Suddenly hearing the name "Commander", the city lord's eyes also shone brightly. He turned around and looked around, but still found nothing. Just when he was about to speak again, he suddenly heard a faint smile coming from the top of the corridor, and then Su Lan suddenly appeared at the top of the corridor and floated down.

When Su Lan appeared, City Lord's body suddenly tensed up, but when Su Lan fell beside him, he gradually relaxed.

Su Lan narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced at Zuo Feng, as if she wanted to see through his mind. But Zuo Feng kept his head lowered, making it impossible to see his current expression, and the three of them fell into silence for a while.

Finally, Su Lan, who had just arrived, slowly raised his head and said: "I, Su Lan, promise that as long as you tell the secret, you will be safe within Linshan County for a day. This is the condition I put forward."

The city lord's face was a little uncertain at this time, and he seemed to be struggling with conflicts in his heart. Finally, he took a long breath and looked at Zuo Feng.

Zuo Feng knew that although these two old foxes had never communicated, they had reached a tacit understanding in this short period of time. That is to exchange secrets with themselves and decide to ensure their own safety together.

But Zuo Feng also knew that their guarantee was not very convincing. After all, he would leave here after the Yaozi competition ended tomorrow. The so-called guarantee of safety here for one day actually means that it will be until the end of the competition tomorrow.

Zuo Feng stood up slowly, turned to the valley below the mountain, and said slowly: "I can tell you the secrets, but before I leave here for tomorrow's competition, I have to go to the black crystal stone and the final formation. If you can agree to my request, then I can tell you the secret."

This time Sulan didn't say anything, but looked at City Lord You quietly, because only City Lord You was qualified to agree to this last condition.

The city lord pondered for a moment, and finally nodded slowly and said, "I'll do as you say."
