Chapter 197.1
“Alchemist Li, is there any medicinal pill that could remove the bad luck from us?” The cultivator who came in asked Li Tianyan in the alchemy shop.
“Tan Eyu, bring out two Po’er pills.” After Li Tianyan spoke to Tan Eyu, he began to look at the two people again. These two foundation-establishment cultivators looked familiar to Li Tianyan. They were members of a team of bounty hunters and frequent visitors to the alchemy shop.
“Xuan-level Po’er pills, five hundred spirit stones.” Tan Eyu threw the medicinal pill to the two of them and spoke.
When they heard about the five hundred spiritual stones, the two of them hurriedly dug into their pockets to buy it. It would be unlucky to be caught by evil spirits, and it was difficult to find a way to eliminate them. They had asked many alchemy shops along the way, but they couldn’t find a solution.
“Where did you get this bad luck? Did you poke some old ghost in the nest?” Tan Eyu couldn’t help but ask curiously when she saw the two men taking the medicinal pill.
In order to help the brat survive the tribulation last time, she had vomited out all the evil spirits she swallowed, and now she was worried she didn’t have enough.
“We helped the business escort the goods to Donglai Prefecture. On the way back, we passed a small town. We wanted to go in and rest, but we didn’t know that the town had been occupied by ten thousand ghosts.” One of the cultivators was still a little shocked when he talked about this.
“Fortunately, we didn’t go in at that time, so we only got a little bad luck.” The other cultivator finally breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed that the bad luck had dissipated from his body.
“How come there were so many evil ghosts?” Cheng Qi was a little surprised when he heard about the ghosts.
“It was said that a core formation demon cultivator had practiced the technique of ten thousand ghosts. He was poisoned by the ten thousand ghosts he had collected and fell. When those evil ghosts broke through the shackles, the nearby town suffered.” A cultivator replied, this was what they had learned later on.
“Isn’t there anyone taking care of it?” Cheng Qi thought that someone should have been able to remove this scourge.
The two cultivators shook their heads when they heard this. “If there are no benefits, who will take care of it?”
“There are demon cultivators who wanted to take over those ghosts, but the evil ghosts that had devoured the contract owner were extremely ferocious, and it wasn’t so easy to take over.” Another one continued.
“Excuse me, where is this town?” Li Tianyan was a little moved after hearing this. He was about to take Cheng Qi out to practice. Maybe they could go there to have a look.
When the two cultivators left the alchemy shop, Li Tianyan and the others began to pack their things.
Early the next morning, the cultivators who came to Dongling Street to buy medicinal pills saw a red note posted on the door of the medicinal pill shop stating that it was temporarily closed.
“Young master, where do you want to go?” Cheng Qi and Li Tianyan came out early in the morning. However, the two of them did not rush out of the city but wandered around the streets of Alliance City. Since opening the alchemy store, they had been busy with the store and cultivation and had never been to Alliance City.
“Buy something first.” Li Tianyan said. Since they were collecting ghosts, of course, they needed to find some useful magic weapons. The flags they had collected before were of too low quality. Also, Donglai Prefecture was the place of the Nine-tailed Fox Demon Clan. If they wanted to go, they had to make some preparations.
Just as the two of them came out of a few shops, there was a sudden noise on the street, and a sedan chair protected by a core formation cultivator passed in front of them.
“Get out of the way! This is the procession of the Lord of Hunnan City to welcome his bride. You can’t afford to suffer if you bump into the new lady.”
The core formation cultivator at the head of the wedding team was pushing the passers-by on the street domineeringly. Li Tianyan quickly pulled Cheng Qi aside to avoid the crowd.
When the wedding team passed by, pedestrians on the street started talking quietly.
“Who is getting married? It’s such a big fight.”
“Didn’t you hear what that person said just now? It is the City Lord of Hunnan City.”
“True Venerable Hun took a concubine again? Whose girl did he marry? Why haven’t I heard anyone mention it?”
“Miss Pei Feng of the Pei family, I heard that True Venerable Hun was originally interested in Miss Pei Yu, but later she was replaced by Miss Pei Feng for some reason.”
“Hehe, that’s because Miss Pei Yu lost her virginity. True Venerable Hun was about to break off the engagement, but he found that Miss Pei Feng looked somewhat similar to Miss Pei Yu, so he changed her.”
“What? Miss Pei Yu lost her virginity before she got married? Who did it?”
“It’s either Young Master Zhao or Young Master Mu. They definitely couldn’t run away.”
“Speaking of Young Master Mu, did you hear that he was poisoned in a restaurant a while ago?”
“Poison? What poison?”
“I don’t know about this. Everyone in the Mu family is tight-lipped about this matter.”
“Could it be Young Master Zhao who poisoned this person? The two of them are fighting over Miss Pei Yu.”
Cheng Qi listened to the conversation of several people nearby and couldn’t help but shake his head. “Our chubby friend is really unjustly accused.”
“Rumours in the market are inevitably based on gossip. Now that we had bought everything, let’s leave the city first,” Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi were talking, but their eyes seemed to drift toward a certain corner unintentionally.
“Okay.” Cheng Qi couldn’t help but feel anxious when he thought of that small town. That had been Tan Eyu’s rations, so it was better not to let others get there first.
