Chapter 284 - Dan King Valley

A massive Light Palm converged towards Lin Xuan, and the air around him solidified.

Lin Xuan felt his body bound, unable to move.

He looked up to the sky and roared, the Great Dragon Sword Intent surged wildly within him, but still, he couldn’t resist.

Just as he was about to be captured, the air around him suddenly fluctuated violently, like boiling water.

A blazing red furnace appeared out of nowhere above his head and crashed down.

Mu’s face changed dramatically, his body trembled slightly, and a shiver arose from his soul.

This situation was similar to when he faced the ancestor of his family.

“A powerhouse from Dan King Valley!” Mu was almost scared to death, using all his strength to dodge to the side.

Boom!

The huge furnace fell, shaking the surroundings; Mu dodged the attack, but the turbulent airflow still hit him, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

“Do you not know the rules of Dan King Valley?” A cold voice came from the void.

Mu suppressed the injuries inside his body and quickly replied, “I am Mu from the Mu family, and this time I have come…”

“Do you not know the rules of Dan King Valley?” The voice contained a hint of anger.

“Fighting is not allowed within Dan King Valley; of course I know this, but we haven’t entered Dan King…” Before Mu could finish, he discovered that a stele bearing the mark of Dan King Valley was right beside him.

“Damn it, when did we enter!” Mu felt like he was dying.

“Elder, I will take this boy and leave right away!”

Despite Mu’s age, he was nodding frantically like a frightened chicken.

“Who told you to take anyone?

If you don’t leave now, you won’t need to leave at all!”

The air vibrated intensely, and the figure in the void seemed quite annoyed.

“Yes, yes, yes, I’m leaving now!” Mu lost all his temper and turned into a beam of light as he fled.

Lin Xuan was stunned.

A Melt Spirit Realm expert had just left grovelling like a little dog.

What kind of place was Dan King Valley?

“Thank you, elder, for intervening.

I am deeply grateful!” Lin Xuan bowed towards the void and was about to leave.

“Who told you to leave?” The voice coldly snorted.

Lin Xuan was astonished; he realized he had celebrated too early.

The air was vibrating, and a figure emerged, his presence even more terrifying than Mu’s.

Lin Xuan looked carefully and saw that the man had white hair and eyebrows, yet his skin was as tender as a baby’s, delicate enough to be broken with a puff.

He sat in a wheelchair made of metal, with a blood-colored parrot perched on his shoulder.

“May I know if the elder has any further orders?” Lin Xuan asked cautiously.

The elderly man in front of him was too bizarre; he had to be careful.

“The rules of Dan King Valley state that anyone who enters shall become a servant of Dan King Valley, never to leave for eternity!” the elder said, the parrot on his shoulder squawking away.

“What?

Never to leave?

What kind of ridiculous rule is this?” Lin Xuan was stunned.

“Once you enter Dan King Valley, your life and death are managed by Dan King Valley,” the odd elder snorted coldly.

“Are there no exceptions?” Lin Xuan asked.

“From the Spirit Transformation experts to the ants and bugs, there are no exceptions!” the odd elder confidently declared.

Lin Xuan’s face fell; no wonder Mu ran as fast as a rabbit.

“Why could that person earlier leave?” Lin Xuan challenged, “Are you afraid of the Mu family?”

“Nonsense, what bullshit Mu family.

I can annihilate them in minutes!” the odd elder erupted furiously, “Little kid, you better see clearly!”

Lin Xuan looked forward and suddenly saw the boundary stele in front of him disappear, reappearing just a foot in front of him.

“It turned out to be an Eye-blocking Technique!” Lin Xuan realized.

“You brat even managed to escape from the hands of a Melt Spirit Realm Martial Artist, you must be quite skilled!” A strange old man suddenly pinned Lin Xuan with his gaze.

“Eh, this cloak is actually a Half Spirit-grade Treasure, no wonder you could escape!”

“Little lad, your Qi-Blood is quite depleted, isn’t it!” The strange old man noticed Lin Xuan’s condition in a glance.

Lin Xuan’s heart pounded, what venomous eyes this old man had!

“Senior flatters me, it was just luck,” Lin Xuan chuckled, “Senior, can I really not leave?”

“How about this, I will work for free here for three months, and after three months, you let me leave, how about that?”

“Do you think this is some kind of inn?” The strange old man rolled his eyes.

Lin Xuan’s face turned bitter; he needed to return for his family’s grand meeting in half a year!

His eyes darted around, scanning for possible escape routes.

The Blood parrot flew up, continuously circling above Lin Xuan’s head, squawking loudly, “No running away, no running away!”

The strange old man snorted coldly, “Hurry up and get inside, otherwise I’ll chop off your legs and you’ll never be able to walk again.”

“Damn it, it’s been twenty years, and the Thousand Spider Poison Grass still hasn’t grown!

I need to go back and fertilize it.

Boy, hurry up and come back with me.”

“Thousand Spider Poison Grass?”

“What a disgusting name,” Lin Xuan rolled his eyes, “This old man has just been sitting in his chair, he isn’t disabled, is he?”

At that moment, Lord of Wine conveyed to him, “He is indeed disabled, but it’s not congenital, it’s due to poisoning.”

“Poisoned?” Lin Xuan was startled, “Could it be that the Thousand Spider Poison Grass can cure his poison?”

“Exactly, just do as I say, and you should be able to leave.”

Lin Xuan’s mouth curved into a smile, feeling much more at ease now that Lord of Wine had spoken.

He followed behind the strange old man and suddenly asked, “Since Thousand Spider Poison Grass is such a poisonous thing, senior, could it be you want to fight poison with poison?”

Boom!

The strange old man’s wheelchair came to an abrupt stop, and a terrifying surge of Spiritual Power burst forth from him.

As the wheelchair spun around, the old man turned, his eyes shooting out intimidating beams of light, like two Divine Spears, aiming to pierce through Lin Xuan.

“Speak, who sent you!”

Lin Xuan felt as though ten thousand mountains were pressing down on him, his bones almost shattered; he hadn’t expected such an intense reaction from the strange old man.

“What do you mean who sent me!” Lin Xuan roared, “I don’t even know what cursed place this is!”

Seeing that Lin Xuan did not seem to be lying, the strange old man withdrew his terrifying aura, and spoke in a deep voice, “Do you know about the Thousand Spider Poison Grass?”

“I’ve heard of it, one of the strange poisons in the world, ranked ninth among the top ten poisonous herbs.”

“So what if you know, do you know how to cultivate it?” the strange old man sighed.

The Thousand Spider Poison Grass was extremely difficult to cultivate; it was said to require the venom of a thousand poison insects, warmed three times a day, until it sprouted leaves and then needed a Seventh Rank Poison Insect’s Demon Crystal for cultivation.

This process had to continue for decades, and a single Demon Crystal only lasted half a year.

A Seventh Rank Poison Insect was equivalent to a Melt Spirit Realm Martial Artist, and since poison insects were already rare, those who could cultivate Thousand Spider Poison Grass were even rarer.

Of course, all this was told to him by Lord of Wine, and Lin Xuan was merely repeating it.

“Kid, it seems you are quite knowledgeable; it just so happens that you can help this old man cultivate this Thousand Spider Poison Grass.

As long as you can cultivate it, I promise I’ll let you go!”

The completion of cultivation, that was an event at least twenty years in the future, and that was the best-case scenario!

Lin Xuan’s little face soured, “If the poison insect’s toxicity isn’t enough, it might not be cultivated in a hundred years!”
