Chapter 23 The mysterious boy

"Is there no way to cure this snake heart poison? Is there no way to cure the largest treasure house in Lingxi City?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"I don't know, the things in the treasure house are too expensive. You have also seen the Lin family's attitude towards me after I was deposed."

"Lin Taiheng wants me to die, so why would he use the money to buy me the antidote?"

Lin Yue said with a wry smile.

"Damn Lin Taiheng! Third uncle, don't worry, I'll go to the treasure house to take a look."

Lin Bai said.

Treasure House is the largest trading center in Lingxi City.

In Shenwu Kingdom, there are also many branches of Zangbaolou.

Although it was almost midnight, the treasure house was still overcrowded.

Because the competition to recruit disciples will begin tomorrow, many warriors want to buy some powerful martial arts and weapons to prepare for tomorrow.

"This young hero, I am Irene, the maid of the treasure house. Is there anything I can help you with?" As soon as Lin Bai entered the treasure house, a maid came over with a smile like a spring breeze.

"I would like to ask if the treasure house has an antidote to the snake heart poison?" Lin Bai asked bluntly.

"Snake heart poison? Is it one of the three strange poisons in the Snake God Cult?" Irene asked curiously.

"It should be so." Lin Bai was not sure either.

If Lin Yue hadn't mentioned snake heart poison today, Lin Bai wouldn't have known there was such a poison at all.

"I'm sorry, young hero. Snake Heart Poison is one of the three strange poisons of the Snake God Sect. When the Snake God Sect was destroyed, the antidote was also destroyed."

"Although the treasure house once had a collection, they are all sold out now."

Erin shook her head and said.

"That's right." Lin Bai said a little lonely.

"So young hero, do you need anything else? Weapons, martial arts, elixirs, and a treasure house are all available." Irene asked.

Lin Bai shook his head in disappointment.

There is no antidote for snake heart poison in the treasure house, so it seems that I will have to wait until I go to the four major sects to find a way to help Third Uncle detoxify.

Lin Bai thought so.

"Brother, do you want the antidote for snake heart poison?" Just when Lin Bai was feeling lost, a weak voice came from behind.

Lin Bai looked back in surprise, and saw a skinny young man looking at him with a pair of timid eyes.

"Yes." Lin Bai nodded.

"I have an antidote for snake heart poison here." The young man felt from the cloth bag hanging sideways, took out a rotten wooden box made of yellow wood, and handed it to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai took it and took a look. There were two black elixirs inside. They didn't look good, but they did have a hint of medicinal fragrance.

"How do you sell this elixir?" Lin Bai asked.

"I don't want money, but I want a weapon, that one." The young man pointed with his finger, letting Lin Bai see a rusty sword hanging on the wall of the treasure building.

A rusty sword?

"How can I sell this sword?" Lin Bai asked Irene.

"This sword is hard-earned. When the Treasure House purchased it, it cost a thousand spiritual stones."

"So, if the young hero wants to buy this sword, the price must be at least one thousand spirit stones." Irene said with a chuckle.

"A thousand spirit stones..." When Lin Bai heard this, he thought, such a broken sword is worth a thousand spirit stones?

Spiritual stones are the currency traded between warriors.

Spiritual stones are minerals naturally born in heaven and earth. The stones contain powerful spiritual energy.

Warriors can directly use the spiritual energy in spiritual stones to practice, so spiritual stones are widely spread in the martial arts world.

When Lin Bai heard about a thousand spiritual stones, he hesitated.

Not to mention that these thousand spirit stones were insignificant to Lin Bai, but this antidote still required more research.

"Little brother, how do I know whether your antidote is real or fake?" Lin Bai asked, staring at the young man in front of him.

This young man was dressed in rags and linen and patched clothes. He had a disheveled head and a beggar's face. He looked like a little beggar, but his big, smart eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky, bright and clear.

"This, this, I can't prove it, but he really is the antidote." The young man said weakly.

"Where did you get your antidote?" Lin Bai asked.

"I practiced it myself." The boy asked and answered.

"Did you practice it yourself?" Lin Bai asked in surprise.

After hearing the young man's words, Lin Bai was even more afraid to buy it.

"Yes." The young man nodded innocently.

Lin Bai hesitated for a while and asked, "Why did you buy that rusty sword?"

"Because it's my thing, and it was robbed by a robber a few days ago." The boy said.

"Brother, if you don't believe me, you can take the antidote first. After taking the antidote, you will feel better within an hour, but it will take a day to completely eliminate the toxicity."

The young man said: "If you are worried, I can go with you. If I harm you, just kill me."

After hearing this, Lin Bai immediately agreed.

"good."

"Come with me. If you can really detoxify, I will help you buy back that iron sword. If you lie to me, then I will kill you immediately."

Lin Bai took the young man and went straight to Lin Yue's residence.

"Lin Bai, who is this young man?" Lin Yue asked curiously as he watched a well-behaved little boy follow Lin Bai back.

"This young man said he had an antidote for snake heart poison. I'm not familiar with pharmacology, so I brought it back to show my uncle." As Lin Bai spoke, he took out a tattered wooden box from his arms.

Lin Yue took the box, opened it, and looked at it carefully.

After a while, Lin Yue looked at the young man in surprise: "Where did you get this pill?"

"I practiced it myself!" the young man said as usual.

"What's wrong? Third uncle, is there something wrong with this elixir?" Lin Bai asked nervously.

"No problem, no problem, not only no problem, but a top-quality antidote."

"I was just surprised how a young man could refine such a good elixir."

Lin Yue took a deep look at the young man.

"Uncle Third, since you said the antidote is real, you should take it and give it a try. The boy will be better within an hour after convincing him to take the elixir, and the toxicity will be gone within a day."

Lin Bai said in surprise.

"Okay." Lin Yue also blushed and swallowed an antidote.

The snake heart poison that had troubled Lin Yue for more than twenty years was actually able to be pulled out today. Wouldn't that give Lin Yue a second life?

The most important thing is that once Lin Yue is detoxified, Lin Yue can resume his practice and find his wife and children.

After twenty years of being a waste, today I am finally going to break.

An hour later, Lin Yue opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of dark blood.

Lin Bai was nervous for a moment, thinking something had gone wrong.

But after Lin Yue vomited out the congestion, he laughed wildly and said: "Haha, snake heart poison, I will finally get rid of you."

"Lin Bai, don't panic. I have started to remove the poison, but it will still take a day to remove all the poison."

Lin Yue saw Lin Bai was extremely nervous and even wanted to draw his sword and kill the boy, so he immediately spoke to comfort him.

"That's good." Lin Bai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Lin Yue's voice.

"Your family's poison has been cured. Shouldn't you help me buy that sword back?" The young man looked at Lin Bai innocently.

"Can."

Lin Bai smiled and returned to the treasure house with the young man.
