In the azure sky, a colossal griffin soared, its massive wings creating a powerful storm with each rise and fall. Using this recoil, the griffin instantly covered an unknown distance.
On the majestic griffin's back, Lin Feng stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the distant outline of a massive city that was now faintly visible. Wisps of gray currents shrouded the distant sky, seemingly turning it gray as well.
Little Fairy Doctor, watching these currents, felt a sense of familiarity; even her sealed poisonous body seemed to stir, as if about to break free.
Zi Yan was also filled with anticipation. She had grown weary of the more than ten days of flight. Even the frequent searches for medicinal herbs in the mountains by Lin Feng and Little Fairy Doctor couldn't alleviate the boredom. Now, looking at the approaching city, her excitement could no longer be contained.
"Howl!"
To avoid attracting attention, Lin Feng and his group ordered Xuanwu to land as they approached the city. After feeding her a fourth-grade pill, they chose to proceed on foot.
"Ten gold coins per person to enter the city!"
Just as Lin Feng and his group were about to enter, a guard stopped them. A powerful aura flashed by, and the guard broke out in a cold sweat.
"Sir, it's not that we're making things difficult for you, but this is the city lord's rule. You see, the poison masters around here are all paying gold coins according to this rule."
Sensing Lin Feng's powerful aura, the surrounding guards were somewhat afraid to speak. Just then, the leading guard steadied himself and stepped forward to speak.
Lin Feng took out a small bag of gold coins from his storage ring and tossed it to the guard.
"Excuse me, we are newcomers and unaware of the rules here. We apologize for our offense."
"Thank you, sir. Xiao Liu, in that case, please introduce the various districts of the city to the sir."
Seeing that the powerful Lin Feng was so easy to talk to, the leading guard didn't take advantage of the situation. Instead, he turned and waved to a guard who looked very shrewd.
"Thank you, guard brother!"
Lin Feng cupped his hands slightly and took out a bag of gold coins from his storage ring, tossing it to the guard.
"In that case, please take this small token as payment for drinks!"
After saying this, without waiting for any reaction, Lin Feng led Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan into the city. Seeing this, Xiao Liu also shrewdly cupped his hands to the guard leader and then quickly chased after Lin Feng and the others.
Watching the departing figures, the guard couldn't help but sigh, "This scion of a powerful family is not only strong, but he also didn't bully us lowly people. Truly admirable!"
The surrounding guards, though silent, clearly agreed. Afterwards, they gathered around the guard, discussing where to spend their gold coins after their shift.
Meanwhile, the guard, Xiao Liu, cautiously explained the city's plans to Lin Feng and his group.
"My lords, this city is called Poison King City. The city lord is a Poison King with eight stars in the Dou Wang realm, commanding numerous generals. He is undoubtedly one of the most powerful cities in the area."
Stealing a glance at Lin Feng and his companions' expressions, seeing no change in their demeanor, he became even more cautious, though inwardly he was also somewhat excited.
"I never expected to meet such an important person as Xiao Liu. As long as I serve him well and keep him happy, he might just give me a little something extra, which would be enough for me to turn my life around!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Liu became even more energetic and told me everything he knew about Poison King City.
With Xiao Liu's description, Lin Feng and Little Fairy Doctor Zi Yan gained a deeper understanding of Poison King City.
Lin Feng and the others exchanged glances, understanding each other's meaning. Since the city lord of Poison King City was only at the Dou Wang realm and had no apparent allies, they could directly seize all the poisons.
"Brother Xiao Liu, could you please take us to the market in Poison King City? We've come to purchase a large quantity of poisonous medicinal herbs."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Xiao Liu excitedly gave himself a pep talk. "This lord has finally stated his needs! If I perform well, given his personality, I, Xiao Liu, will finally have my day!"
"Gentlemen, this way please."
Xiao Liu pointed in a direction and led Lin Feng and the others there.
"If we're talking about the richest place for medicinal herbs in Poison King City, it has to be the Ten Thousand Poison Cave. The Ten Thousand Poison Cave is practically the place with the most medicinal herbs in the entire Izumo Empire." "
Its leader, the Poison Emperor, is one of the ten strongest figures in the Izumo Empire. Therefore, his business spans the entire Izumo Empire. Even the royal family hasn't coveted the many resources of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, which shows how powerful the Poison Emperor is."
"The Ten Thousand Poison Cave in Poison King City is just one of its branches, but even so, it's still the richest place for medicinal herbs in Poison King City, even surpassing the City Lord's Mansion."
Xiao Liu said excitedly. For the people of the Izumo Empire, poison is indispensable for cultivation. After all, due to the environment, the people here have more or less mastered some kind of unpredictable poison arts.
To cultivate poison arts, one must extract poison from poisonous herbs or spiritual objects. Therefore, the people of the Izumo Empire are extremely familiar with the Ten Thousand Poison Cave.
As they spoke, Xiao Liu led Lin Feng and the others to a massive room exuding an evil aura. From a distance, it resembled a spider waiting to pounce on its prey.
A chill ran down Lin Feng's spine as Xiao Liu explained,
"The Ten Thousand Poisons Cave is fine in every way, but the architecture is just too sinister. Every time I pass by, it makes me tremble involuntarily."
As Xiao Liu spoke, he noticed that the adults before him seemed oblivious, showing no reaction whatsoever to the building. A slight embarrassment crossed his face, and he quickly led them into the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave.
Passing the entrance, the guards of the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave seemed not to notice them, allowing them to enter without any interference.
"My lords," Xiao Liu said, "the people of the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave are extremely welcoming to anyone who comes to trade. No matter what level you are a poison master or a fighter, as long as you have gold coins, they will trade with you."
At this moment, Xiao Liu also answered Lin Feng and the others' questions.
As he spoke, Lin Feng and the others slowly stepped into the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave.
With a "whoosh,"
as Lin Feng and his companions entered the building, a strange sound rang in their ears, followed by countless figures appearing before them.
