Inside the massive spider-like structure, Lin Feng and his companions saw countless figures moving about as soon as they entered. However, despite the numerous transactions taking place there, the normally noisy building was unusually quiet.
"My lords," Xiao Liu
said, his voice lowered as he reminded Lin Feng and the others, " there's a rule in the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons that must be followed: no loud noise during transactions."
"It's said that this is because the Poison King admires the habits of spiders, and therefore anyone who makes a loud noise in his presence is cruelly killed. The Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons has inherited his will, forbidding loud noise."
After looking around to make sure no one was paying attention, Xiao Liu continued.
"It is said that there was once a rogue cultivator at the Poison King level who was killed by the Poison Emperor for making a scene during a transaction because he didn't follow the rules of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave. After that, no one dared to cause trouble on the territory of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave."
"Oh?" Lin Feng rubbed his chin. "This Poison Emperor is quite interesting!"
"Little Six, there is a poison attribute manual in here. If you successfully cultivate it, it will be enough to make you quite powerful among your peers. Now, let us explore it ourselves!"
Lin Feng took out a set of scrolls from his storage ring and placed them in Little Six's hands. Ignoring his excitement, he led Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan forward.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"
Even though Lin Feng and the others had gradually disappeared into the distance, Little Six was still very excited. "Indeed, I, Little Six, am finally going to turn my life around!"
Lin Feng and the others ignored the excited Little Six. He was just a passerby in their lives. After leaving Poison King City, they might never meet again in this lifetime.
Walking slowly through the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, Lin Feng and his companions found it truly worthy of its reputation. In just this short distance, they encountered numerous poisons rarely seen outside.
"Xian'er, if you see anything you like, just buy it."
"Mm." Little Fairy Doctor nodded. There was no need for words of thanks between them; she only wanted to become stronger quickly so she could help Lin Feng. Unlike now, where Lin Feng was the only one giving.
Having understood this, Little Fairy Doctor stepped forward and began negotiating prices with the vendors.
Meanwhile, Zi Yan curiously joined the discussion, occasionally chiming in, which made Lin Feng, watching from behind, want to laugh.
After they agreed on a price, Lin Feng stepped forward to pay with gold coins.
After buying many poisonous herbs from several vendors, Lin Feng suddenly stopped Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan, who were getting a little carried away with the bargaining. He turned slightly, looked towards a corner, and softly spoke.
"You've been watching for so long, you should be coming out by now, right? Otherwise, could I assume you're plotting something against us?"
As Lin Feng finished speaking, Zi Yan and Little Fairy Doctor looked towards that corner. After a few breaths, several figures slowly emerged from there. They were dressed in black uniforms with a giant spider printed on their chests.
"Young master, we are staff members of the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave, and we mean no harm,"
the middle-aged man at the head of the group said, stating his identity.
"We simply noticed that you seemed to be in dire need of a large quantity of poison-attribute spiritual items, so we had a sudden inspiration and wanted to invite you to the official trading area of the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave."
To dispel any suspicion from Lin Feng and the others, the middle-aged man continued,
"If you can purchase a large quantity of spiritual items under my guidance, I myself will receive a substantial commission, hence my somewhat presumptuous invitation."
"I see!"
Lin Feng's doubts were finally dispelled. He exchanged a glance with Little Fairy Doctor and nodded. As for Zi Yan, she would follow Lin Feng and the others wherever they went.
"Please lead the way, sir!"
"This way, please!"
Hearing Lin Feng's reply, a hint of joy flashed across the faces of the staff of the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave. Then, the middle-aged man hurriedly led the way.
After turning several corners, Lin Feng and his companions entered a cold, damp house, where even the air seemed to be filled with a gray aura.
"Gentlemen, this is the official trading place of the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave. The branch of Poison King City has quite a few poison-attribute spiritual items needed by Dou Wang."
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, a hint of joy flashed across Little Fairy Doctor's face. With these many spiritual items, she could quickly improve herself.
"Bring up all the spiritual items needed for Dou Ling and Dou Wang cultivation, except for those with poison attributes." Lin Feng waved his hand generously. "By the way, bring out all the poison-attribute secret techniques and fighting skills that you can trade in this branch."
As for cultivation techniques, Lin Feng didn't plan to trade them here. He remembered that there was a poison-attribute Earth-rank cultivation technique in the library of Canaan Academy. He would just need to wait for Little Fairy Doctor to reach the Dou Wang realm.
With his current status in the academy, he could definitely ensure that Little Fairy Doctor obtained a poison-attribute Earth-rank cultivation technique as she wished. There would be no need to cultivate some Xuan-rank poison-attribute cultivation techniques several months in advance.
In fact, even if they had poison-attribute cultivation techniques, the Ten Thousand Poison Cave might not be willing to trade them.
Hearing Lin Feng's extremely generous words, the middle-aged man's face was extremely excited.
"It seems that I'm going to reap a huge commission this time."
"Sir, the items you want to trade are beyond my authority. I wonder if you could wait a moment while I go and invite the branch manager to come immediately."
"Hmm, go!"
As the people from the Ten Thousand Poison Cave left, Lin Feng and his group sat down to rest in the reception room.
"Brother Lin Feng, I already have the poison-making methods recorded in the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, why do you still need to buy other refining methods?"
Little Fairy Doctor was also a little puzzled, not because she was worried about the cost, after all, Lin Feng had already told her. Wealth that can be shared is wealth, but she was just a little curious.
"Although the records in the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture are enough for your cultivation, if you want to innovate and become a master of poison, you must read widely."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Little Fairy Doctor nodded in understanding.
"Everyone, I am Poison Flame."
Just as Lin Feng and the others were chatting casually, an old voice rang in their ears. Immediately afterwards, several figures in black appeared in the reception room, and the middle-aged man from before was waiting behind them.
"A two-star Dou Wang? Interesting!"
"Is it true that you all mentioned needing spiritual items at the Dou Ling or even Dou Wang level for cultivation?"
The two-star Dou Wang elder spoke, a hint of doubt in his voice. Even if these people were from prominent families, using Dou Ling or even Dou Wang level spiritual items seemed premature.
