Chapter 1698 Sea of Death (3)
“Not only do I know about your condition, but I am also aware of your wife’s situation. A few thousand years have passed. I guess your wife won’t be able to last a few years.” Master Bai said calmly. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Li Gen’s mind spun rapidly as he tried to figure out Master Bai’s identity.
“Don’t waste time guessing my identity. Just tell me. Are you willing to go?” Master Bai asked plainly. “I came to you first because of your love for your wife. Otherwise, I would go to Hei Jin in the first place. He would never reject my offer.”
Li Gen stopped thinking and asked with a solemn expression. “I can agree with your offer, but you have to treat my wife first. You should know that going to the Black Immortal Palace is extremely dangerous. All of you could die there.”
“No problem.” Master Bai responded readily. “This little boy here is a genius doctor. Treating your wife’s disease is just a matter of flipping his hand.”
Li Gen frowned slightly and looked at Yun Lintian with doubt.
“Since you need the Heart of Fire, it means your wife has been afflicted with a cold poison. It’s not difficult to treat it.” Yun Lintian said calmly.
Li Gen gradually calmed down and said. “It’s not an ordinary cold poison, but the Undying Cold Poison.”
“Take me to see her.” Yun Lintian said and got up.
Li Gen hesitated for a moment but then became determined. Anyway, this was probably the one and only chance he could get in this cursed place.
He stood up and tapped on the wall to his left. The wall immediately opened, revealing a secret passage that led to a bedroom.
When Yun Lintian walked into the room, he was immediately hit by a chilling gust of wind. The entire room seemed to turn into a massive freezer, and the chilling aura emanated from a disheveled woman lying on the bed in the center of the room.
Li Gen quickly stepped forward and channeled his divine energy to warm his wife’s body.
The woman slowly opened her eyes and gave her husband a weak smile. “Is it closing time already?”
Li Gen grabbed his wife’s hand and said softly. “No. I brought someone here to treat you.”
The woman, Chen Lin, was surprised and tilted her head to look at Yun Lintian briefly before turning back to her husband. She said with worry. “Are you going out again?”
Li Gen smiled and lovingly patted her hand. “It’s fine. Their destination is not far away.”
Chen Lin pursed her lips and remained silent. She knew that her husband had lied to her.
Li Gen turned to Yun Lintian and asked. “Can you treat her?”
Yun Lintian nodded slightly. “No problem.”
He then waved his hand slightly, and a few silver needles immediately pinned onto Chen Lin’s body. Yun Lintian waved his hand again, sending a strand of wood energy into her body.
The next moment, droplets of dark blue liquid gradually emerged from the needles, transforming the already freezing cold room into an icy abyss.
Yun Lintian glanced around the room, and a ball of warm fire materialized in the air, instantly dispelling the surrounding coldness.
Li Gen was dumbfounded by the series of actions Yun Lintian had taken. When he turned to look at his wife again, he immediately noticed a drastic improvement in her complexion. The cold aura inside her body had also dissipated at a noticeable rate.
A few minutes later, Yun Lintian waved his hand to remove the needles and collected the dark blue liquid in a jade bottle.
He set up a table with various delicacies and told Li Gen, “Let her have something first. She will recover in a few hours.”
Li Gen and Chen Lin were dumbfounded at the moment. The poison that had plagued them for thousands of years was suddenly gone just like that… Why did it look so easy?
Chen Lin regained her composure and stood up from the bed, bowing deeply to Yun Lintian. “Thank you, Senior, for saving us.”
“This is part of the deal.” Yun Lintian said and set up another table for Qingqing and Linlin.
Li Gen and Chen Lin glanced at each other, unsure of what to say at that moment. They sat down beside the table and began to indulge in the delicacies in front of them.
Half an hour later, Chen Lin and Li Gen were completely satisfied with their meal. This was definitely the best meal of their lives. They didn’t know if they would be able to have it again in the future.
“Done?” Yun Lintian looked at them while feeding Linlin a garlic breadstick.
“Yes.” Li Gen responded.
Yun Lintian threw a storage ring at Li Gen and said. “This is your remuneration.”
Li Gen didn’t even look at it and said. “I cannot accept it. But don’t worry, I will definitely take you to the place.”
“Just take it. We have already agreed to this deal previously.” Yun Lintian said calmly. “I put some extra food inside.”
Li Gen clenched the ring tightly and bowed deeply. “Thank you.”
“Let’s go.” Yun Lintian waved his hand to put away the tables and chairs.
Chen Lin stood up and said to her husband. “Let me go with you.”
Li Gen quickly shook his head. “No, you have to stay here.”
“I know that you are going to the Black Immortal Palace.” Chen Lin said with determination. “I’m not going to stay behind.”
Li Gen opened his mouth, but no words came out in the end.
Yun Lintian calmly looked at them without saying anything. From their reactions, it seems that the Black Immortal Palace must be the most dangerous place here.
“Fine.” Li Gen sighed.
Chen Lin turned to Yun Lintian and said. “Please give us a few minutes to make a preparation.”
Yun Lintian nodded. “I will wait on the first floor.”
Ten minutes later, Li Gen and Chen Lin descended from the second floor, dressed in new outfits. It couldn’t be called attire, as it was no different from ragged clothes.
Seeing Yun Lintian’s confused expression, Chen Lin explained. “These clothes are made from underwater plants. They have a high resistance to black water.”
While speaking, Chen Lin handed a bunch of clothes to Yun Lintian. “All of you should wear them too.”
Yun Lintian looked at the ragged clothes in his hand with surprise, as he didn’t see anything special about them… Were they really that good?
