Lu Xin took the jade scroll and looked at it. It turned out to be an invitation card for an auction, with a catalog of the auction items attached.
Among them was a sixth-order poisonous spiritual herb.
Xiao Ying'an said, "Reporting to Master, this was given to me by Sect Leader Chen to hand over to you."
Lu Xin sneered inwardly. Was this a trap set up specifically for him? And they even knew to deliver the jade scroll through the hands of the Divine Physician Sect Leader, truly meticulous.
Without even needing to think, he knew that the so-called sixth-order poisonous spiritual herb was disguised as a seventh-order one. It was truly difficult for them to find such similar items.
But it was also good. The trap he had casually set up back then had finally come into play.
So, he returned the jade scroll to him and said, "You give this jade scroll to Chen Chong and tell him to buy back the Bone Spirit Flower at all costs."
"Disciple obeys." Xiao Ying'an accepted the jade scroll and took his leave.
Lu Xin waited for him to disappear before returning to his cave. In any case, the Bone Spirit Flower was prepared for him, so anyone could bring it back.
Therefore, there was no need for him to waste his time.
Activating the formation, Lu Xin withdrew his consciousness and returned to the mountain cave.
Then, he continued on his journey to find poisonous substances.
In the blink of an eye, three years passed.
During these three years, many things happened, one of which was what happened a month after he left the mountain cave.
As he expected, the Divine Physician Sect Leader Chen Chong successfully brought back the Bone Spirit Flower.
He publicly exposed it as a seventh-order poisonous substance, a Bone-Dissolving Spirit Flower, stating that he was unable to absorb it with his current realm.
Then, under Xiao Ying'an's disappointed gaze, he sighed and returned to his cave.
He didn't pay attention to what happened after that, but he estimated that it would prompt them to find even more difficult-to-identify poisonous substances.
However, what they didn't know was that he possessed the remnant soul of the Five Poison Sacred Venerable. What poisonous substance could he not recognize?
Moreover, even if he couldn't recognize it, his [Poison Devouring Body] had nothing to fear.
......
In the time that followed, he searched all the way in the direction of the ninth-order spiritual herb, the Corpse-Rotting Soul-Devouring Flower.
In these three years, he had accumulated over 93 million units of mana, taking another step closer to 120 million.
However, he still felt it was very slow.
"I hope the Corpse-Rotting Soul-Devouring Flower won't disappoint me!"
Lu Xin sighed and headed towards the far west of the Western Wilderness.
Another half year passed in the blink of an eye.
Crane Mountain City, this was a city in the western region of the Western Wilderness, inhabited by a mix of demon races, and occasionally humans could be seen.
Lu Xin was one of them. He walked on the street, his aura of the Transformation God stage exposed, so no demon dared to cause trouble.
He walked and stopped along the way, quite curious about everything.
"Look, that seems to be Tu Shan Dan Yue."
Suddenly, a soft exclamation attracted his attention. It was two Nascent Soul stage demon men sitting by the window of a spiritual teahouse.
He followed their gaze and saw Tu Shan Dan Yue in a red gauze dress walking on the street.
Wherever she walked, the gazes of everyone were attracted.
Lu Xin quickly shrank back into the crowd.
Even though he had changed his appearance and figure again, it was better to hide, lest he encounter a bloodhound like Long Muxue again.
Of course, he wasn't afraid, but he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.
Soon, Tu Shan Dan Yue's figure disappeared, and Lu Xin could hear the disappointed sighs of the people around him.
"Ah, why did she leave?" The man who had exclaimed softly just now clearly hadn't seen enough.
"Yeah, as expected of one of the Ten Beauties of our demon race. Just one glance makes me feel dizzy." Another man smacked his lips, also feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
"By the way, you mentioning the Ten Beauties reminds me of something. Have you heard about the update to the Earth Demon Ranking?"
"The Earth Demon Ranking has been updated?" The man who smacked his lips was surprised and urged:
"You know I just came out of seclusion. Stop stalling and tell me quickly."
The man took a sip of spiritual tea and said:
"Let me tell you, this time the changes to the Earth Demon Ranking are quite big. The biggest change is that Long Tianxu, who was ranked thirty-third, and Yin Jiuyou, who was ranked thirty-sixth, have been removed."
"Removed?"
The man who smacked his lips was shocked.
The man nodded and continued, "Indeed, they were removed, but not because they were overtaken by stronger experts, but because they were killed by a human expert!"
"What?!"
The man who smacked his lips sat up in shock, "Is this all true? What human is so bold?"
"How could it be false? This was said personally by Tu Shan Dan Yue."
The man raised his hand, signaling him to sit down and listen to him explain in detail:
"They went to a place called the Lan Cang Domain to participate in a secret realm treasure hunt, and as a result, they encountered that human expert.
After Long Tianxu was killed, the soul lamp left in the Silver Winged Flying Dragon Clan instantly went out.
So, the Flying Dragon Clan immediately sent a Composite Body stage elder to investigate the truth in that secret realm, but it was too late, and the secret realm had already closed.
After some inquiries, they learned which experts had entered the secret realm, so the elder found Tu Shan Dan Yue and the others, and only then did they learn the truth."
"Is there any information about that human expert?" The man who smacked his lips exclaimed.
"Yes." The man drank a mouthful of tea to moisten his mouth, "He's called You Yuan Dao Ren Luo Feng. It is said that this person likes to say 'This item is destined for me' when snatching opportunities, hence the name."
"This human expert certainly has characteristics." The man who smacked his lips listened with relish and then asked doubtfully, "Then how can you be sure that what Tu Shan Dan Yue said is true?"
Then the man threw out even more shocking news:
"Because several Void Refinement Late Stage experts, including Tu Shan Dan Yue, were robbed.
Not only were their opportunities robbed, but even their spiritual treasures and storage bags were looted.
Moreover, the Composite Body stage elder of the Black Water Mysterious Snake Clan, who went to investigate the truth first, was also killed by him!"
"Hiss!"
......
"I didn't expect my reputation to spread like this."
Outside the spiritual teahouse, Lu Xin leaned against the wall and listened to their conversation. Then, he shook his head, turned and left, disappearing into the street in the blink of an eye.
More than a month later, Lu Xin crossed the Western Wilderness and came to the top of a high mountain in the far west.
"Are you sure that the front is the location of the Corpse-Rotting Soul-Devouring Flower?"
Lu Xin held the remnant soul of the Five Poison Sacred Venerable in his hand, his face somewhat unsightly, because there was a layer of formation shrouded in front.
And after sensing it, the formation was very strong. He estimated that even his eighth-turn golden body would be difficult to break.
The Five Poison Sacred Venerable looked around and nodded:
"It is indeed that place. When I came back then, it was still a black water swamp shrouded in a layer of poisonous miasma. Now I don't know who has enclosed it."
Lu Xin helplessly stuffed the Five Poison Sacred Venerable back into the porcelain bottle, and then flew down the mountain to inquire about information.
He quickly detoured to the front of the formation and found a city. Only then did he know that this entire area had become the territory of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Clan, where Tu Shan Dan Yue was located.
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
Lu Xin's face became even more unsightly. Offending Tu Shan Dan Yue was nothing, but the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Clan was an ancient demon clan, and there were Transcending Tribulation experts sitting in the clan.
It was said that there was more than one.
This was difficult.
With his strength, he definitely couldn't force his way in.
Moreover, the location of the Corpse-Rotting Soul-Devouring Flower had long been occupied by them. It was still debatable whether this flower still existed.
Don't waste your time for nothing.
"What to do?"
Lu Xin was stroking his chin and frowning in thought when suddenly a conversation came into his ears.
