C273 Mysterious Man



C273 Mysterious Man

After standing at the door and waiting for a while, Chung Lingjiao walked out with her arms crossed like a winner. It was obvious that she had succeeded.    

    

"Go in. Grandpa Lan is waiting for you inside." As Chung Lingjiao spoke, the corner of her mouth drew out a trace of a smile that she could not hold back.    

    

The scene that was still very serious just now was settled by her two coquettish actions. Chung Lingjiao felt that she had a lot of face at this moment and was very impressive in front of this big senior brother's friend.    

    

Yang Xuan cupped his hands towards Chung Lingjiao and thanked her before walking in.    

    

When he heard Yang Xuan's footsteps, old man Lan turned around from his chair and rolled his eyes at Yang Xuan. He seemed to be helpless again.    

    

"Kid, if you want herbs, I can give them to you..."    

    

Yang Xuan was overjoyed. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, senior. May I know if senior has any requests for this kid?"    

    

Yang Xuan was not a fool. He knew that there was no free lunch in this world. No matter how big Chung Lingjiao's face was, she could not easily get such precious herbs for no reason.    

    

Since old man Lan had said so, he must pay a price to get it.    

    

Regarding Yang Xuan's words, old man Lan nodded slightly and said, "You are quite sensible. I have been refining a strange medicine recently. I need some Demonic Beast's inner core, although it is not something precious. But my Spirit Pill Peak does not have it. You go and help me find the spirit medicine you want to exchange for it. "    

    

After saying that, the old man waved his hand. A piece of paper floated up from the table and landed in Yang Xuan's hand.    

    

Yang Xuan looked at the name list and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.    

    

The things that the blue-haired old man wanted were things like the inner pellet of the snake demon, the blood of the tiger demon, and the inner pellet of the toad. As long as one was willing to spend some effort to find it, one would always be able to find it.    

    

Compared to the precious spirit medicines that he wished for, the blue-haired old man basically gave them away like this.    

    

"Many thanks, Senior. This kid will immediately go and search." Yang Xuan cupped his hands and quickly left.    

    

The blue-haired old man watched Yang Xuan leave and gently stroked his beard. He smiled and said, "He is a kid who knows manners."    

    

After leaving the Spirit Pill Peak, Yang Xuan rejected Chung Lingjiao's good intentions of traveling with him and went down the mountain alone.    

    

Actually, it was not that Yang Xuan looked down on Chung Lingjiao's strength. He was more worried that his many hidden methods would be discovered and would bring unnecessary trouble.    

    

Arriving at a dark forest, Yang Xuan looked at the map in his hand. He did not go wrong. This was the entrance to the Hidden Stream Valley that Chung Lingjiao had marked for him.    

    

Putting the map properly into his pocket, Yang Xuan walked in openly and slowly disappeared at the entrance of the forest.    

    

A moment later, a faint black shadow appeared at the place where Yang Xuan had just stood. A black-robed man had his hands in his pockets and his bright red eyes were staring at Yang Xuan who had left. The corner of his mouth was slightly curved into a smile.    

    

"Keke, I found you."    

    

...    

    

After entering the forest, he walked straight into the Hidden Sword Valley. Yang Xuan's luck was surprisingly good. Along the way, he first met the snake demon and then the tiger demon. It was as if these Demonic Beast were sent to his doorstep in groups. Yang Xuan didn't hold back at all. With a wave of his long sword, he kept all of the Demonic Beast's inner cores and blood into his own bag.    

    

Carefully taking out a few drops of blood essence from the tiger demon's neck, Yang Xuan gently closed the small bottle and put it into his pocket. Then, he took out the map.    

    

"If it's a toad, only the valley has one. If we rush there now, we should be able to get rid of it before dark!" Yang Xuan murmured and remembered all the routes on the map.    

    

Chung Lingjiao had told him to come out of the valley before nightfall. Yang Xuan had kept this warning in his heart and did not forget it for a moment.    

    

Although Chung Lingjiao was a little strange and eccentric, Yang Xuan believed that she would not harm him in this kind of matter.    

    

Without any delay, Yang Xuan put away the map and rushed into the valley, fearing that he would waste some time.    

    

As soon as he entered the valley and followed a gurgling stream down, Yang Xuan quickly spotted a toad on a rock in the stream, enjoying the afterglow of the setting sun.    

    

"It didn't take much effort to get it!" Yang Xuan was delighted. He lowered his footsteps and moved towards the toad.    

    

The next moment, a strange feeling suddenly flashed in Yang Xuan's heart. It was as if there was a danger approaching. Yang Xuan could not help but feel a chill on his back.    

    

What was going on?    

    

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Xuan gave up on the idea of catching the toad, and prepared to investigate the situation around him.    

    

Since entering the forest just now, Yang Xuan had always felt that there was a vague feeling of being stared at from behind. But because his mission was going too smoothly, Yang Xuan actually felt a bit dizzy.    

    

However, at this moment, this sense of crisis had made Yang Xuan pay attention to it. This kind of situation would only happen if someone wanted to kill him.    

    

He opened the Heavenly Eye, and a powerful perception instantly spread out from Yang Xuan's body, scanning the surrounding mountains, rivers, and plants. Soon, Yang Xuan found something wrong.    

    

It was almost evening. All the birds and beasts in the valley had returned to their nests. There were basically two or three birds resting on each tree. Only one nest on the tree was empty.    

    

There were only two explanations for this. Either the owner of the nest had died in the mouth of the other Demonic Beast, or... there was someone behind the tree!    

    

Almost in an instant, Yang Xuan was sure. However, he was very smart and did not act rashly. Instead, he turned to look at the toad that was immersed in his own world.    

    

With a slight shake of his feet, a small stone fell onto the stone like flying. The toad jumped up in shock and ran down along the stream. Yang Xuan smiled and immediately followed.    

    

Yang Xuan did not want to expose the fact that he had discovered the toad without knowing the strength of his opponent, but he knew very well that the person who followed him must be an enemy, not a friend.    

    

Let's get rid of you first!    

    

Relying on the map in his mind, Yang Xuan kept controlling the direction of the toad with some tricks. He just kept chasing after it.    

    

When he saw Yang Xuan suddenly stop moving, black-robed man was surprised. Could it be that Yang Xuan had discovered his whereabouts?    

    

The scene of Yang Xuan chasing the toad made black-robed man feel relieved. He was laughing at himself for being a little kid. How could he have such high vigilance? He followed after the toad.    

    

Very quickly, black-robed man found that something was not right. The terrain of the entire valley seemed to be more complicated than he had expected. He almost lost him several times.    

    

Seeing that Yang Xuan had entered a cave, black-robed man immediately followed him. However, he found that Yang Xuan's Qi was no longer there.    

    

"How could this be?!" With a heavy hammer on the small tree beside him, black-robed man cursed angrily.
