The Zhao family banquet for guests is scheduled for the evening, and it’s still early now.
Guided by the Black and White King of Law, Lin Chen walked around the city gates, the Mu family, and the surroundings of the Zhao family.
This is the first stop of the Star Pavilion, and it can be said that only victory is allowed.
After circling the Immortal City, Lin Chen has gained a comprehensive understanding of the entire place.
The guards of the Immortal City are mainly people from the Mu family and the Immortal City government, roughly more than five thousand, with about four to five hundred guards on the four walls.
However, due to the long absence of war, these guards are generally not very vigilant.
This time, Lin Chen brought about three hundred members of the Tianjiao Squad into the city, all of whom are elite soldiers. When the time comes, the inside and outside will work together to catch the city’s guards off guard.
After circling the city walls, Lin Chen said to the Black and White King: "Alright, you guys go rest first. I’ll stroll around a bit more."
"Yes!" The Black and White King turned to leave, while Lin Chen walked towards the direction of the Zhao family.
The Immortal City deserves to be one of the five main cities of the Fairy Realm, with bustling crowds, and shops everywhere.
Lin Chen walked into a pharmacy called the Rejuvenation Pavilion.
Mu Tian’s injury has stabilized significantly under his treatment so far, but to heal completely, Hundred Spirit Herb is still needed.
Lin Chen walked into the pharmacy hoping to try his luck.
As soon as he entered the shop, a shop assistant approached him with a cheerful smile.
"Sir? What are you looking for?"
Lin Chen smiled faintly and said, "I am looking for a Hundred Spirit Herb."
"Hundred Spirit Herb? Sorry, this herb belongs to the Demon Domain, very precious; we don’t have it here," the shop assistant said with a smile.
"I see," Lin Chen sighed, a look of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
"What do you need the Hundred Spirit Herb for?" At this moment, a young girl suddenly approached with a smile and asked.
Seeing the girl, the shop assistant hurriedly bowed and saluted her: "Second Miss."
"Alright, you can go and tend to your tasks," the girl waved her hand and said.
Lin Chen glanced at the girl opposite and asked, "Could it be that you have the Hundred Spirit Herb?"
Chu Yan’er sized up Lin Chen from top to bottom: "The Hundred Spirit Herb is a top-grade herb, only useful for refining top-grade medicine. Are you perhaps a pharmacist, sir?"
Lin Chen said faintly, "You still haven’t answered my question. Do you have the Hundred Spirit Herb or not?"
Chu Yan’er was stunned for a moment. She was a well-known beauty in Immortal City, and all men were usually very polite upon seeing her, yet this guy in front of her was cold as ice.
"I do have it, but I don’t know if you have what it takes to get it," Chu Yan’er said indifferently.
Lin Chen looked at the girl and asked, "What must I do to obtain the Hundred Spirit Herb?"
"Unless you can save my sister, then you can get the Hundred Spirit Herb."
"What illness does your sister have?" Lin Chen asked.
"You still haven’t answered my question," Chu Yan’er pouted.
Lin Chen’s cold demeanor made her quite unhappy; after all, she was a beauty!
"I am a pharmacist, and if you really have the Hundred Spirit Herb, then I can also heal your sister," Lin Chen said indifferently.
"You don’t even know what illness my sister has, yet you dare to agree?" Chu Yan’er furrowed her brows.
This guy is either truly capable and arrogant or a big fraud.
However, judging by Lin Chen’s age, she felt more that Lin Chen seemed like a big fraud.
Suddenly, Lin Chen grabbed Chu Yan’er’s hand and said, "You should have been bitten by a snake a few days ago, right?"
Surprised by Lin Chen grabbing her hand, Chu Yan’er quickly struggled and said, "Let go of me, how do you know?"
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Now, the snake venom is hidden in your body. If you hadn’t met me, you’d surely die within seven days."
"What? Are you kidding? The great elder already removed the snake venom for me," Chu Yan’er forcefully withdrew her hand.
However, when she saw her own hand, she was utterly shocked.
Her originally tender hand had turned dark purple, extremely sinister and terrifying.
"Wh-what’s happening?" Chu Yan’er was terrified.
Lin Chen said indifferently, "The person who treated you didn’t truly detoxify you, but suppressed the poison within your blood. The purpose of doing so can only be one thing: to kill you secretly."
"What?" Chu Yan’er’s face changed drastically upon hearing this.
"No, impossible, how could the great elder want to kill me?" Chu Yan’er shook her head incessantly.
Lin Chen said indifferently, "Can you give me your hand? I’ve already extracted the poison. If I don’t help you detoxify, you’ll die within an hour."
"Ah!" Chu Yan’er’s face changed too, and she hurriedly extended her hand to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen took a silver needle from his pocket and gently pricked the tip of the girl’s index finger.
Instantly, drops of black blood flowed from the fingertip.
At the same time, Lin Chen manipulated the silver needle, and streams of light green Spiritual Energy flowed into Chu Yan’er’s palm through the needle.
In the next moment, the originally dark purple hand slowly returned to its normal color.
About an hour later, a puddle of pitch-black blood had pooled on the ground.
This black blood was extremely corrosive, creating pockmarked holes as it dripped onto the ground.
Chu Yan’er gasped; had Lin Chen not extracted this black blood, she would have died indescribably if it had acted up.
Finally, when the dark purple completely faded from her hand, Lin Chen released Chu Yan’er’s hand.
"Alright, your poison is now cured," Lin Chen said indifferently.
Looking at her hand restored to normal, Chu Yan’er’s face showed a grateful expression: "Thank you for saving me."
As she spoke, Chu Yan’er clenched her fist: "Damn that great elder, actually wishing for my death. I won’t let him off when I return."
Lin Chen smiled faintly and said, "If I were you, I’d keep quiet and watch what he intends to do!"
Chu Yan’er nodded: "Right, now my poison is cured, if I confront that old thing, he surely wouldn’t admit to it."
"Now you can believe me, right?" Lin Chen smiled faintly.
"Believe, of course, I believe." Chu Yan’er nodded.
Just now, Lin Chen merely glanced at her and knew she was poisoned, even easily extracting the snake venom from her body; what else could he be if not a Divine Doctor?
"My name is Chu Yan’er, the second miss of the Immortal Sword Villa," Chu Yan’er offered her hand this time.
Lin Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed, but he responded without any visible reaction, smiling, "My name is Chen Lin."
"Well, now you can tell me what illness your sister has," Lin Chen asked.
Chu Yan’er, at the mention of her sister, showed an unpleasant expression: "My sister contracted a strange illness, suddenly losing her memory, and her intellect is like that of a three-year-old child."
"Did she suddenly become like this?" Lin Chen asked.
"Yes, just yesterday we were chatting together, nothing seemed wrong, but by the next morning, she had become like that," Chu Yan’er sighed.
So that’s what happened; seems like Chu Yan’er’s sister also got caught up in something. This Immortal Sword Villa is quite interesting.
